Compared to the grand lord's mansion, this place seemed rather insignificant. However, for Lu Ming, it didn't matter where he lived; he was always living under someone else's roof, not his own home.

After entering the mansion with Lily, who was carrying a suitcase filled with tattered clothes, Lu Ming was surprised to find that this otherwise decent-looking mansion had fewer than three servants—only a maid and a gardener. It didn't feel like a lord's mansion with a large number of servants at all.

"It's the same on Fren's side. Even my brother, whom my mother favors the most, only has four servants." Perhaps sensing Lu Ming's thoughts, Yusaha explained to him.

After a long silence, somewhat embarrassed, Lu Ming finally asked, "Um...where is my room?"

"Follow me." Because there were not enough servants, it was Yusaha, the master, who led the way.

To Lu Ming's surprise, this mansion, which was neither too big nor too small, had only two living rooms on the second floor, apart from the servants' rooms on the first floor. The rest of the space had been converted into a huge study.

"This is where I study magic. My dream is to open a magic academy in Niflheim and prove that I am better than anyone else!"

'In the end, is soul magic the only magic you can use?' Lu Ming glanced at Yusaha and the huge study, thinking helplessly.

“I know my magic is terrible, so you don’t need to hide it from me.”

"I'm sorry." This was the first time in many days that Lu Ming had learned what kind of person Yusaha was, and his wariness of her lessened a little.

"It's nothing." Yusaha suddenly opened the door to the only guest room in the villa, letting Lu Ming and Lily see what was inside.

Although this place was only a quarter the size of a guest room in the lord's manor, at least the strange feeling Lu Ming had experienced upon entering the manor was gone. Neither the servants nor Yusaha, the master, felt that constant tension.

However......

"Um... Yusaha, this thing of yours..." Just as he and Lily entered the guest room, Lu Ming saw and pulled out a small white pair of panties with a white edge hidden in the gap between the bedside table and the bed. Lu Ming looked at Yusaha somewhat awkwardly.

Upon seeing this, Yusaha screamed, snatched the panties from Lu Ming's hand, and ran away with a flushed face.

"She must have dropped it when she was half asleep here after studying magic late into the night." Lily put the suitcase in the closet, then pulled out a nightgown from the bottom of the closet...

"Hehe...hehehe...hehehehe..." Looking at the nightgown, Lu Ming could only chuckle foolishly, without any thought of making a fuss.

------------------

After dinner, Lu Ming sat in Yusaha's magic study, casually picked up a book, and flipped through it, looking at the illustrations. Meanwhile, in the next room, Lily and Yusaha were conducting a thorough search of the entire room to prevent Lu Ming from discovering any more strange clothing or other oddities.

“Pine cones? Does magic here require items to help?” Lu Ming sat in Yusaha’s chair, looking at an illustration in the book, and muttered to himself.

"What the hell! When did Yusaha start inviting men to her house?" At this moment, a man who had appeared at the door of the magic study suddenly spoke up and teased, startling Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked up at the doorway and saw a handsome blond man with blue eyes, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes, leaning against the doorway and looking at him.

"you are?"

"Hacks Sachs. Yusaha's brother."

"Lu Ming is her friend."

“Friends?” Hax chuckled, then walked towards the next room, saying, “Friends wouldn’t stay at someone else’s girl’s house!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly, but didn't dwell on it.

"Hey, you crazy girl." Hax walked to the guest room door, knocked, and then tossed the phone that the Countess had confiscated to Yusaha, who was startled and hurriedly hiding her personal belongings. He laughed and said, "Don't let Mother see this again, or it'll be confiscated again, and I won't be responsible!"

"Hey hey hey hey~" Yusaha rushed over to take the phone in a flustered manner, but almost fell over because he was too anxious. After finally regaining his balance, he reluctantly thanked him: "I understand! Also, thank you."

"Crazy girl," Hax chuckled and cursed, then turned and left.

Meanwhile, outside Yusahar's mansion, several men in black were secretly monitoring Yusahar's every move from different locations using binoculars.

However, one of them was not monitoring Yusaha, but rather Lu Ming's every move.

When Hax left Yusaha's mansion and returned home, one of them immediately ran towards the lord's mansion. The others, however, continued to keep an eye on Yusaha and Lu Ming.

However, they were unaware that their every move was being observed by Hax. He simply wouldn't warn Yusaha and Lu Ming, after all, Yusaha was his greatest enemy in inheriting Niflheim!

After waiting in the magic study for a while without seeing Yusaha and Lily finish packing up, Lu Ming, feeling rather bored, went out on his own.

Although he disliked the strange niceness of the commoners' district, there were other places in Paris City. For example, a white area on the phone map.

Lu Ming didn't recognize the characters on the map, but judging from the colors, it should be a church.

Based on Lu Ming's knowledge from his original world, religious figures are relatively easy to talk to. After all, as long as you don't go against them, you are a potential believer, and no one would complain about having too many believers.

After walking for an hour, Lu Ming arrived outside the church.

Looking at the building before him, which was almost the size of a massive lord's mansion, only lacking an even larger garden, Lu Ming couldn't help but marvel at how wealthy the church truly was!

"Good evening, sir magician."

-----------------------------------

There were so few people on Friday! Did I write it wrong? Or did everyone go out to hang out with girls?

Please (*^__^*)

Chapter Two - Yorshka and the First Undead

Hearing someone greet him, Lu Ming immediately turned around and looked in that direction. He saw a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old wearing a white robe.

"Good evening, young lady," Lu Ming replied politely.

"Excuse me, are you here to pray?" the little girl asked excitedly, looking at Lu Ming standing outside the church.

"Oh, I didn't come to pray. I just came to take a look around." Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, then added, "Also, young lady, are you the pastor of the church?"

“So that’s how it is…” The little girl was a little disappointed when she heard that Lu Ming was not a believer, but she immediately bowed to Lu Ming and introduced herself: “My name is Yulsikka Priscilla, and I am a white magic apprentice of the church I belong to.”

“Yorshka...Priscilla…” Upon hearing the little girl’s name, Lu Ming subconsciously glanced behind her and, sure enough, saw a fluffy tail wagging back and forth.

Perhaps out of shyness or because of Lu Ming's gaze, the little girl's face flushed slightly as she asked, "Wh...what's wrong...?"

"It's nothing." Lu Ming, full of questions, shook his head and said with a smile, "I am Lu Ming, a magic apprentice from the Cold Valley."

Because Yorshka is the name of an important NPC in Dark Souls III, Lu Ming said he was from Irithyll of the Valley, wanting to see how Yorshka would react.

Unfortunately, Yu'er Sika didn't react at all, but just tilted her head and asked, "Icy Valley? Where is that?"

Seeing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly, thinking to himself, 'Isn't that the half-dragon girl? Looks like I was overthinking it. But…'

"It's just a very cold little place in the far north, and it's not famous at all." To avoid being noticed, Lu Ming made up a lie with a straight face.

"Oh, I see! But now that I already know about Icy Valley, surely more people will find out in the future!"

Watching the silly Yu'er Sika cheer herself up with her fabricated story about her hometown, Lu Ming suppressed the urge to laugh and said calmly, "It definitely will."

After saying that, Lu Ming saw Yusaha and Lily coming out to look for him from afar, so he said to the little girl, "My friends are here to see me, I have to go now." Then, he walked towards Lily and the others.

"Um, are we friends?!" Yu'er Sika suddenly shouted as she watched Lu Ming walk away.

“Yes!!” Upon hearing You'er Xika's shout, Lu Ming paused for a moment before replying loudly.

Upon hearing Lu Ming's answer, You'er Sika smiled happily and skipped into the church.

When Lu Ming walked over to Yusaha and the others, Yusaha glanced at the church in the distance, then looked at Lu Ming, making Lu Ming look at her with a strange expression.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just a little strange how you end up with people from the church."

"The three major gathering places for intelligence are the tavern, the filthy brothel, and the temple where one prays for the gods' forgiveness." Lu Ming smiled, held up three fingers, shook them slightly, and said with a laugh, "This is experience gained from the victories of countless predecessors!"

"So, what did you go to inquire about? But this experience is really quite strange."

"Um... okay. I admit, it's a bit strange. But it's very accurate! Also, let's go back and rest now. Tomorrow, I want to look for other undead in the city."

"Varied......"

-----------------------------------

Just as Lu Ming and his two companions were walking back to Yusahar's villa, a man in black was telling Luianali Sachi, the lord of Niflheim, everything Lu Ming had done and said at Yusahar's mansion and at the church.

As the man in black listened to his report, the countess tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table, making him somewhat uneasy.

"So, that guy from the Hellas family and my two daughters are so-called immortals?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, that's what the magic apprentice said. However, he referred to Kurard Helas and Miss Miral as wandering spirits. Although they are essentially the same, it's a way to distinguish between the undead and those without humanity. Those with humanity are called undead, and those without humanity are called wandering spirits or zombies."

"It's better to be a wandering spirit, so that Miral doesn't seem like he's dead. But what did he mean by saying there are at least three more undead in the city?"

"I don't know."

"Then go investigate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"

Watching the man in black walk away, the countess's eyes turned cold, as if she had murderous intent towards this subordinate who knew too much.

-----------------------------------

The next morning, Lu Ming, who had gone to bed early for some entertainment, got up very early and went out with Yusaha and Lily to look for the three hidden undead mentioned in the main quest in Paris City.

However, it's worth mentioning that the Dex family also moved to Fren's villa instead of staying at the lord's manor. Lu Ming commented that Dex did indeed look a bit like Nezha, and wondered if the lord would be frightened if he saw him, much to Dex's annoyance.

Dex, who had come with Fren to find Lu Ming that morning, immediately took Fren out of the city to hunt the poor magic rabbits when he learned that Lu Ming was looking for hidden undead in the city. After all, compared to hunting magic rabbits, finding three undead in such a large city was like finding a needle in a haystack. It would be better to hunt some magic rabbits and trade them with apple trees for apple soda.

Because Lu Ming and his companions were currently in the aristocratic district, the streets were almost deserted. Even those who were there hurriedly left to get to their workplaces, not daring to linger.

"Is your mother using some kind of high-pressure tactics? Why are those people...?"

"It's the same everywhere."

"Oh fine."

As they walked, Lu Ming and his group arrived at a place Lu Ming had never been before: a black market hidden between the noble district and the commoners' district.

Because it's close to the working-class area, you can see some civilians here from time to time. However, due to the bullies in the black market, these stubborn people who refuse to listen to advice don't dare to urinate or defecate here. So the black market is the only place in the working-class area that doesn't smell bad.

"Hey~ isn't this Yusaha! You finally have a boyfriend? But why is he with a woman? You wouldn't happen to be the third party, would you?" Before Lu Ming and his companions could even enter the black market, a richly dressed man and two attendants came out. Upon seeing Yusaha standing with Lu Ming, he made a sarcastic remark.

Although Lu Ming didn't know how to describe the relationship between himself and Yusaha, he wouldn't stand idly by and watch his companion be insulted. So he immediately drew the Sage's Candlestick, pointed it at the man, and roared, "You bastard! What did you say?!"

Upon seeing this, the man burst into laughter. After a while, he said to Yusahar, "I thought you would find someone special! Turns out you're just a magic apprentice like yourself. Besides that strange magic, what else can you do?"

Seeing that the man ignored him and was still mocking Yusahar, Lu Ming gritted his teeth in anger. But just as he was about to fire a seed machine at the man and make him dance, Yusahar suddenly retorted, "We're investigating the unkillable monsters, and now I think you and one of your followers are very likely to be involved. So, are you going to come with me to the city defense department yourself, or are you going to have the soldiers arrest you?"

Upon hearing this, the man's face instantly darkened. Meanwhile, Lu Ming, standing beside Yusaha, secretly took out his phone and glanced at it, only to discover that Yusaha's threat to the man was actually correct.

“Uh…” Lu Ming patted Yusaha on the shoulder, making Yusaha turn around and glare at him, before saying, “There is indeed an immortal among them.”

"Eh~!!" Yusaha, who had accidentally mentioned the wrong person, let out a startled cry. Pointing at the nobleman whose face had turned ashen, he looked at Lu Ming in disbelief and asked, "He...he...he...are there really immortals among them!?"

Lu Ming glanced at the nobleman and his entourage, then nodded and said, "Yes. However, I don't know which one it is."

Upon hearing this, Yusaha immediately grinned menacingly and walked step by step toward the nobleman who dared to mock him, causing the nobleman to involuntarily take a step back.

"Guards!" Knowing that he and his three companions couldn't capture the nobleman and his entourage on their own, Yusaha shouted into the black market. Soon after, several burly men dressed in ordinary clothes ran out.
