Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 129 Although, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?

The Silver Kingdom was exceptionally lively in the early morning.

The city streets were filled with residents of the Silver Kingdom, dressed in brightly colored clothes, their faces beaming with smiles. Today was the annual celebration, and the Goddess of Harvest would depart from the mythical giants' court to descend to the mortal realm and bestow blessings upon them!

In the land of silver, a legend is told:

If a mortal is favored by the goddess, she will even personally receive him and bring him to the giants' royal court. This mortal will have the honor of visiting the divine court and meeting the giant gods!

This means that they will not only be able to see the face of the god they believe in, but also have the opportunity to win the favor of the goddess of harvest!

Alice leaned against the window, her right hand resting on the windowsill, her chin propped up by her palm, gazing at the bustling crowd below, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"What a wonderful moment on the day of God's birth!"

Ember appeared beside Alice without her noticing and suddenly asked:

"If Omibella really comes to the Silver Kingdom, how do you plan to deal with her?"

"That's so rude!"

Alice rolled her eyes at him, puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, and muttered, "You should be addressed as the Goddess of Harvest!"

"All right."

Ember shrugged and repeated perfunctorily, "So, how do you plan to deal with the Goddess of Harvest?"

"Is that even a question?"

Alice smiled sweetly and said:

"Of course, we'll eat her up!"

Yu Jin gave her a deep look.

Lilith, the Progenitor of the Vampires

……

A luxury villa on the outskirts of Port Pritz on November 21.

The usually deserted suburbs were unusually lively on this day. People from all over the world arrived at the villa in carriages, some rented and others belonging to prominent families. The sounds of horses' hooves, wheels, and chatter filled the not-so-small villa area.

The villa area, which is usually quiet and deserted, was as noisy as a vegetable market on this day.

The carriages were not parked in front of the villa because there were simply too many; although the villa was not small, it could not accommodate nearly a hundred carriages. Instead, the carriages were parked in an open area not far from the villa, where coachmen were responsible for their care.

Meanwhile, the Abrahams, riding in their carriages, headed towards the villa with longing for their new life. Gradually, more and more people gathered, making the living room, which was originally large enough to accommodate over a hundred people without feeling too crowded, almost too small. Moreover, due to the sheer number of people, even though they had temporarily recruited many maids, it was clearly still not enough.

Among them were men and women, young and old, some sitting on sofas, others on makeshift benches, and many more standing because there were no seats available. Despite their large numbers, the scene was not noisy. Most of them simply sat quietly, filled with hope and trepidation, awaiting the arrival of the red moon and salvation.

From the second-floor railing, Fors peeked out at the crowded living room, then quickly and guiltily pulled her head back, muttering under her breath:

"There are so many people."

Hugh, who had come all the way from Backlund, looked at her speechlessly, but still squatted down and asked in a low voice:

"Are you even capable?"

"No problem."

Fors glanced at the notebook in her arms and said confidently, "Before Ember left, he recorded a lot of 'extraordinary abilities' for me, including 'Healing Tears,' which can cure curses. The effect is almost identical to the original!"

"Just keep it in mind."

Seeing his friend's confident demeanor, Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He stood up, leaned out to look at the crowd below, and murmured with admiration:

"I truly didn't expect there to be so many people. No wonder they're an ancient family with a history spanning over a thousand years! Even in decline, their resources are beyond our comprehension! So many extraordinary individuals—how much money must that have cost?"

Although the Abrahams were plagued by the curse, they would not hear the delirium unless they became extraordinary. This meant that although the Abrahams' family was large, only a minority were truly willing to risk going out of control and becoming extraordinary.

Even so, there are still hundreds of people here! Their presence here means they must be plagued by the curse, and therefore must be extraordinary beings. Even if most are only low-sequence extraordinary beings, it's still astonishing enough!

For example, to train a Sequence 9 Extraordinary, the main ingredients for the potion recipe alone would cost at least 200 gold pounds. And to train hundreds of Extraordinary, especially if many are Sequence 8 or Sequence 7, it would cost at least 100,000 gold pounds!

"but……"

Hugh suddenly looked worried and asked in a low voice, "Fors, are you sure it's okay? If some of these people mutate because of the curse, and the rest are also troubled by the curse and unable to resist, it could very well cause a chain reaction."

If all the hundreds of extraordinary beings here mutate under the red moon, not only will the Abraham family be wiped out, but Hugh himself is not confident that he can protect Fors among hundreds of out-of-control extraordinary beings.

"You don't trust me at all?"

Fors rolled her eyes at her friend and said irritably, "Besides, the abilities were all recorded by Ember himself. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Ember, right? Moreover..."

Fors paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Even if it really gets out of control, there's really no need to worry too much. The notebook contains quite a few extraordinary abilities with powerful offensive capabilities."

I hope so.

Hugh didn't speak, but his eyes still looked somewhat worried.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the crimson moon emerged from the clouds under the watchful eyes of everyone, its light bright, clear, and perfectly round.

At the same time, the Abrahams inside the villa seemed to sense something as well, all looking up at the full moon outside the window. The instant the red moon peeked out, that strange and polluted murmur echoed in everyone's mind!

Fors's expression was extremely serious as he calmly unfolded a palm-sized, copper-green notebook, revealing a smooth, white page. On that page were numerous strange patterns and symbols, imbued with a mysterious and ancient aura. Most striking of all were several luminous white dots.

Fors's fingers glided naturally and lightly over the white dots on the page, and a complex symbol quickly formed in her mind. With the infusion of spiritual energy, a white-gold circular magic circle, like a moon, appeared beneath her feet, radiating outwards in concentric circles like ripples on water.

When the patterns of the magic circle spread out and touched the Abrahams who were suffering from delirium, the delirium in their minds vanished in the blink of an eye, as if shielded by an invisible force.

"It's a success!"

Seeing this, Fors breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively looked out the window.

The full moon outside the window still shone with a bright, crimson light, but the babbling was no longer a problem that troubled Abraham and his family.

"It's true, it really worked!"

"The curse... has been cured!"

"Father, do you see? We have successfully defeated the curse, and Abraham will rise again!"

In the living room, for the first time under the full moon, they felt no pain from the curse. The Abrahams wept with joy, embracing each other to celebrate their new life! It was as if the Abraham family was about to be reborn at this moment.

Everyone was immersed in the jubilant atmosphere, but no one noticed a pea vine hanging down outside the window.

A woman wearing black leather boots sat on a wicker swing chair, her long chestnut hair cascading down her back, her straight eyebrows perfectly arched. At that moment, she gazed down at the villa with her azure eyes.

"Did you make any discoveries?"

The woman turned her head and asked softly.

The blue doll perched on the woman's shoulders seemed to frown slightly. She lightly leaped to her feet, placing her feet on the woman's delicate collarbone, her four arms touching at her chest and abdomen with her fingertips, and said with a deep gaze:

"I can't see it; the king seems to have left this world."

"But the stars tell me that the king is still here, only with some changes."

"The plan remains unchanged; the king will eventually return to the throne."

The woman remained silent, her eyes slightly lowered, and she said in a low voice:

"As you wish."

……

"Of course, we'll eat her up!"

Alice leaned against the window, a sweet and charming smile on her face as she winked at the playful Ember. Combined with the girl's petite figure, her slightly frightening words didn't seem terrifying at all; instead, they made her seem rather cute, as if she were just joking.

The look in Yu Jin's eyes as he gazed at Alice seemed to hold a deeper meaning, as if he were hinting at something:

"That's the goddess of harvest."

"yes."

Alice smiled and said, "Precisely because she is the goddess of harvest, we must eat her. Only in this way can I express my heartfelt reverence for the goddess, right?"

Seemingly impatient, Alice extended her soft, pink tongue and licked around her delicate cherry lips. At this moment, she displayed a captivating and alluring charm, completely different from her previous innocent and adorable appearance.

It was as if this was her true appearance, or rather, a part of her true appearance.

Ember asked calmly:

Why would you want to eat her?

"Huh?"

Alice blinked, then asked with a slightly naive air, "Do I need a reason?"

"Don't you need it?"

"Do you need it?"

Ember gazed at her calmly, without uttering a word.

"All right."

Alice retreated decisively, pouting and muttering in dissatisfaction, "It's all because that bitch betrayed me. I knew when we formed the alliance that those two brainless bastards, Olmir and Suniasolem, were unreliable."

"One only knows how to mate and reproduce, and has no sense whatsoever. The other is manic and easily angered, and will fly into a rage at the slightest thing, making it impossible to even talk to him. So the one who has been truly trying to maintain the alliance all along is actually their queen."

"Omibella is gentle and generous, treating even mortals with the same attitude. She gives the impression of being the most benevolent deity, and being with her feels like being a trustworthy older sister next door. Goshinam, on the other hand, gives a very different impression. Although she is very beautiful, she always has a cold and indifferent face, giving the impression that she is secretly plotting some kind of conspiracy."

"That's why I've always been wary of the Elf King, afraid that Goshinam would persuade that impulsive and easily angered fellow to betray the alliance. But I never expected that in the end, it would be Omibella who betrayed me!"

Alice gritted her teeth and said:

"That seemingly gentle and considerate woman is actually full of schemes and has a heart of utter depravity!"

"However, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Alice suddenly smiled again, her smile sweet as she said, "After dying once, all those impure energies were expelled from my body. Although this made me incredibly weak, it also made me purer than ever before."

Yu Jin's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately became interested, saying with great enthusiasm:

"A detailed explanation of purity."

Alice gave him a disdainful look, but didn't refuse, though her tone wasn't very friendly:

"Do you remember the eight ancient gods I mentioned?"

"Know."

Yu Jin nodded slightly.

"The eight ancient gods were born from chaos, which granted them unparalleled power, but their power was extremely impure and mixed. This weakened their greatness and made them tyrannical, evil, cruel, and terrifying."

Ember suddenly asked:

"And what about you?"

"I'm no exception."

Alice smiled sweetly and readily admitted, "Although I've always prided myself on being the most normal one, I am indeed troubled by these mixed forces. I want to separate them, but that would weaken me and give other ancient gods an opportunity to take advantage of my vulnerability."

"Mr. Ai, Mr. Ai Xu."

Trembling, Allen, who had never heard of such a thing before, raised his hand and mustered his courage to say, "In the records, even Lilith, the progenitor of vampires, who appeared the most normal and was known as the 'embodiment of beauty,' was actually disgusting and monstrous in nature. For example, her true form was actually a mass of flesh that resembled a mountain range, covered with all sorts of reproductive organs, spewing out thick black mist and constantly creating all sorts of strange creatures. Anyone who got close to her would be dominated by the desire to mate and reproduce, becoming a walking organ of that organ..."

"Shut up!"

Alice's loud rebuke interrupted Allen, who felt as if someone had grabbed him by the neck, unable to speak or breathe, his face turning bright red. Alice, her face flushed with anger, stamped her foot and snapped:

"This is slander! It's defamation! Utter slander! At most, she has a pair of bat wings, she's actually quite cute, okay?! It must have been done by that bitch Omibella, that bitch has always been jealous that I'm prettier than her! She started slandering me as soon as she thought I was dead, that damned bitch! I'll eat her, that damned bitch, I'll definitely eat her!"

Alice was undoubtedly furious, yet her exquisite beauty made her appear exceptionally adorable even in anger. It was hard to imagine that such a young girl would utter such rebellious and chilling words. For even if the Goddess of Harvest was merely a goddess, she was still a genuine deity!

For mortals without any extraordinary abilities, blaspheming the gods is tantamount to courting death.

For example, Allen, trembling with fear, wished he had ears, wished he had heard all this. He really was just a simple mortal! He had thought Alice had infiltrated Silver City simply like other vampires, wanting to survive in a human city-state. But who knew she actually wanted to kill a god?!

Looking at the girl's exasperated expression, Yu Jin asked thoughtfully:

"So, you're now admitting that you are Lilith?"

"Why deny it?"

Alice, or rather Lilith, winked playfully and chuckled, "After all, there are no outsiders here, are there?"

Ember raised an eyebrow slightly, turned his gaze to Allen beside him, and asked:

"Is he your relative?"

Lilith's gaze paused slightly, then she looked at Allen, tilting her head cutely and smiling:

"No, that's not it. The first embrace of a vampire is very precious, especially since this is the first embrace of the vampire progenitor who has never given his first embrace to anyone else. I just picked up little Allen on the road. After all, it's easy for a weak girl like me to be suspected if I'm alone in the wild, right? But if I have a younger brother to protect me, it will seem much more reasonable, don't you think?"

Lilith blinked and said with a smile, "But now, it seems like little Allen isn't of much use anymore."

"Do you want me to help you?"

Ember pulled out a spellfire and said seriously, "I guarantee it will burn to ashes."

"They'll be silenced, won't they? They definitely will be silenced!"

Allen huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, like a desperate prisoner awaiting trial.

"It hasn't gotten to that point."

Lilith stuck out her tongue and giggled happily amidst Allen's tense and desperate emotions, "Little Allen didn't really do anything bad, did he? I'm not some murderous dire wolf. I can let you leave after it's done~. Of course, the condition is that you don't think about running away again, little Allen. Enough is enough. If it happens too many times, even I'll get angry~"

Allen opened his mouth, feeling a pang of hurt, but hurriedly shook his head to indicate that he dared not.

He wasn't running anymore, he wasn't going to run anymore anyway, there was no way he could escape. If he had known that the person who had kidnapped him was the legendary ancient god, Lilith, the progenitor of the vampires, how could he have dared to even think about running away!

"Little Allen."

Lilith suddenly said, "Could you please go out and fetch a kettle of water?"

"it is good."

Allen silently lowered his head, quite sensibly leaving the restroom, and closed the door behind him.

Lilith withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, turning her attention back to Ember, and said with a smile:

"Then let's talk about cooperation again, Mr. 'Sun God'."

"etc."

Ember frowned slightly, looking at Lilith with some hesitation. "You just said... the Sun God?"

"Is there a problem?"

Lilith looked at Ember with a puzzled expression and asked, "Isn't this what your followers call you? Or do you want me to continue calling you 'Aish'? Oh, you wouldn't expect me to call you 'darling,' would you?"

Lilith covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's not impossible, you know. After all, unlike those crazy ancient gods, you're perfectly normal. As a true god, you certainly have the right to conquer. By the way, I'm still a virgin~ You humans seem to care a lot about that, don't you? Don't be so surprised, I'm the real deal~!"

"After all, those ancient gods are either too ugly or not as powerful as me, so they have no right to conquer me. Speaking of which, I'd really like to taste the flavor of a god, wouldn't I? Hmm~ Ash feels the same way, right?"

Lilith stuck out her soft, pink tongue and licked her lips, her eyes filled with seductive charm, exuding allure.

However, faced with Lilith's teasing and provocation, Ember simply extended two fingers in succession without expression:

"First of all, I am not called 'Sun God,' and I have no followers."

"Secondly, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Lilith, who was seductively licking her lips, suddenly froze, her eyes widening in shock:

"ha--?"
