I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 534, page 2.1-48: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
According to the water quality test results, a strange potion had been added there. It was strange because its effects could not be determined.

Queen Skatagh's revenge on the dynasty began. People fell ill and died within three days, their bodies turning to bones the next day and then vanishing into thin air.

Then a new blood moon arrived, and the undead army swarmed in, annihilating a city and turning it into ruins.

After repeated comparative studies, it was discovered that the potion's effect was to accelerate the decay of corpses and leave behind their cores. In other words, although they died weak, it was the potion thrown into the pool that truly turned them into a skeleton undead army.

The king ordered the closure of all the city's pools, but because they were the lifeblood of the cities, very few people actually complied.

That was the only water source...

Even knowing it was laced with a magic potion, they were unwilling to give it up. They didn't want to die of thirst, and the potion only worked on the dead, not the living, so they drank it with a perfectly clear conscience.

Everyone thought they wouldn't die so young; every person who died weak thought so before they died, but without exception, they all became members of the skeleton army.

It could be said that it was a mark that Queen Skatech used on her legions, allowing her to accurately locate them and assimilate them, although in Mu Yegui's eyes it was just an excuse that Skatech made for its indiscriminate attacks.

Thus, this battle, which had no origin, officially began.

To this day, no one knows what Skatagh's purpose was in invading the dynasty, or when she began to plot it. After disappearing from the city of Sematil, she never appeared again.

Instead of her, a man calling himself Shui Qi led the undead army to invade the dynasty, and under his command, the human army suffered repeated defeats.

The smoke of war filled the entire continent, and there was no longer a place of peace.

Humans no longer pray to the gods, because all the gods had disappeared long before the war began, and the only ones that still exist are the kings of the two factions.

"These fools have really done their part in dragging down our army. If I didn't know they were all subjects of the king in their lifetimes, I would have thought they were originally our enemies."

"It's too difficult, too difficult. Fighting against people who are already dead. Even if you fall, they can get back up, after all, they were already dead!"

"They were brothers who fought side by side, but in death they became enemies. How ironic..."

The undead army gained the upper hand, and humanity began to doubt whether what they were doing was truly the right thing to do.

"Report! The city of Nissela has been defeated!" A soldier rushed into the audience hall, but collapsed and died before he could finish speaking. Returning with a fatal wound was clearly the limit of his strength.

Wang coldly stared at the corpse and ordered, "Burn it."

Lin Ya looked down at the soldier's corpse, a trace of sorrow flashing across his expression. Before he could say anything, he saw the corpse move on its own, standing crookedly before lunging towards the man on the throne.

A flash of silver light, and the corpse was cleaved in two. Noyce maintained his sword-wielding stance, his expression cold and devoid of any superfluous emotion.

However, the corpse that had been split in two and fallen down started moving again, even though with each movement a viscous liquid flowed down onto the floor tiles.

"Ahhh!" The beautiful woman beside the king screamed in terror, throwing herself into his arms. "Your Majesty! Quickly, have someone drag it away! I'm so scared!" Mu Yegui, standing to the side, glanced at the two embracing, then turned her gaze to the corpse. She took a few steps down, the golden chains on her body making a crisp sound with each step.

Just as she approached the steps and was about to step down, a man's low, slightly angry voice came from behind her, "Where are you going?"

Mu Yegui didn't turn around, but casually said, "Let me check where this body is restrained."

"You're not allowed to go!" Wang's expression changed slightly. He pushed the beautiful woman away with one hand and warned her in a low voice.

Mu Yegui glanced back at the beautiful woman who was looking at the king with a slightly accusing expression, and said, "Don't you always pride yourself on being gentle and chivalrous? She's about to cry, as you like."

Mu Yegui meant that this beautiful woman met the king's preferences in every way. Not only was she beautiful, but she also possessed a pair of "human weapons." Generally speaking, the king always had boundless tolerance for such beings.

At least since she came to the king's side, she has never fallen out of favor again. The king has never said anything harsh to her, and has even restrained his cruelty for her sake. This time, the king's sudden push of her away surprised her.

"As my possession, do you still dare to disobey your master's orders?" The king said slowly, his golden vertical pupils coldly staring at Mu Yegui.

Mu Yegui remained silent for a while, then walked down the steps without hesitation toward the two halves of the body that were teetering on the verge of collapse but managed to get back together.

To others, this scene would be incredibly horrifying and bloody, since the blood had been flowing non-stop, pooling into a small puddle on the floor tiles. However, to Mu Yegui, it was no different; she found nothing frightening about the scene.

Upon sensing Mu Yegui's approach, the corpse suddenly broke free from Nois and Lin Ya and lunged at Mu Yegui.

Mu Yegui watched silently as the corpse lunged at her, one hand resting on the slender sword at her waist, ready to retaliate at any moment. However, the next second, a sudden force pulled her backward, slamming her into a rigid 'wall,' followed by a loud bang and a cloud of dust.

She looked up at the king who was holding her in his arms. This man had stepped down from the throne at some point and had even personally disposed of the corpse.

Noyce looked at the thing that had turned into a pile of minced meat and could no longer move, made a gesture to Lin Ya, and the two nodded to each other before walking out together.

One went to call the construction team and the other went to call the logistics team. Some repaired the walls, and others cleaned up, striving to restore the place to its original clean and tidy state.

"Can you let me go now?" Mu Yegui asked calmly.

Her chin was gripped by a hand, forcing her to raise her head. Her cool silver eyes stared silently at the angry golden vertical pupils. She still didn't sense any strange emotions; her heart remained as calm as still water.

“I wasn’t disobeying you, I just didn’t want it near you. Although the gods have vanished, to me, if there is still a god in this world, then you are…Weins of Goalsy.”

Wang gazed into those clear, pure silver eyes, watched those alluring pink lips open and close, and listened to that soft, sweet voice expressing her opinion.

In that instant, he felt his heart pounding, as if something was different.

Weins of Goalsy [divine language: My God]
