This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

"Uh... why is it raining so hard all of a sudden?" Flora said, sounding a little disappointed. "With this much rain, does that mean we can't have a picnic today? Where are Rebecca and the others? Aren't they at the hotel?"

“Oh, they went to prepare for the picnic early this morning, and they’re probably stuck outside now,” Abis chuckled. “No need to worry about them.”

He wasn't lying; Rebecca and the others were clearing obstacles for their picnic before preparing to kill the evil god's puppet.

"Oh...sigh, I thought I could go out and enjoy the flowers after I got up today, how come it suddenly started raining..." Flora sighed.

Although Flora usually appears very positive, it's hard not to feel frustrated when something she's been looking forward to for so long goes wrong.

"Don't be too sad, the weather might get better in a while," Abis laughed. "Anyway, it's only morning. Maybe we can have lunch under the rainbow."

The heavy rain outside had driven everyone still on the street home, and the streets outside were covered with ankle-deep water, even though Xianhu Town had a fairly complete drainage system.

Rumble...

A rumble of thunder sounded, and Flora involuntarily looked outside.

Lightning flashed intermittently, illuminating the dark clouds. Through the curtain of water on the glass window, Flora could almost see a strange outline on the distant clouds, just illuminated by lightning.

Abyss followed her gaze.

The outline was blurry, but the Abyss quickly realized that it looked like a face made of dark clouds, and that face belonged to the evil god's puppet.

This heavy rain was definitely not as simple as it seemed!

Chapter 386 The Overlooked Details

Flora also saw a blurry outline, but her current body was modeled after that of an ordinary girl, and it was not immediately clear in the heavy rain.

Just as she was about to squint to get a better look, a pair of hands suddenly came around from behind and covered her eyes.

Guess who I am?

"Ah, Sheila!" Flora was pleasantly surprised when Sheila, who was sitting behind her, suddenly covered her eyes. "I didn't notice you were in the room! You've had a good rest?"

"Yes! I'm resting very well now!" Sheila said with a smile, removing her hand from Flora's eyes. At the same time, she winked at Abyss.

Upon seeing Sheila, whom she hadn't seen for several days, Flora's attention shifted from the window to Sheila, and she began to chat with her warmly.

Sheila wasn't very good at chatting, but in order to distract Flora from the strange face outside, she tried her best to find topics to talk about, sharing her experiences in the Eternal Night City over the past few days.

Fortunately, Flora is a very good listener, and she quickly struck up a conversation with Sheila.

Lightning and thunder continued to flash beneath the clouds, and Abyss looked outside with some concern. He'd have to find a reason to draw the curtains soon; he couldn't let Flora actually see that person's face.

The face in the sky was seen by the people of Xianhu Town and the nearby villages. At first, they thought it was just a normal weather anomaly, but when they saw the face-like shape, they began to worry.

Is some sorcerer conducting an experiment? Or has something terrifying happened?

However, everyone could only think about it in their hearts, because the rain outside was too heavy to go out at all.

In some lower-lying areas, water has already begun to seep into houses from the outside, and the town's residents are scrambling to seal the gaps in their doors. The hotel where Abis is now located is also in a state of panic over the rainwater seepage.

……

"A meteoric rise! A meteoric rise!"

While the small town was busy dealing with the sudden downpour, Rebecca and her two companions were already suffering from headaches due to the endless screams of the evil god puppet.

They had figured it out: whenever this evil god puppet loudly proclaimed its obsession with "making a name for itself," the dark clouds in the sky would increase by one degree.

If he continues shouting, it's likely that not only will agriculture and tourism in the beautiful town of Xianhu be devastated, but the whole world will suffer as well—excessive abnormal atmospheric flow will damage the natural ecosystem.

Moreover, Rebecca and the others couldn't possibly miss the face formed by the clouds in the sky. As the clouds thickened, the outline of that face would become clearer and clearer. Once it was fully formed, Abyss probably wouldn't be able to prevent Flora from seeing it.

When Flora looks out the window and sees a huge face outside—the same face of the evil god puppet with its mouth agape and shouting—then the peaceful life she's been enjoying these past few days will be completely ruined.

"You'll never be an overnight sensation, my foot!!!" Leona cried out, clutching her head in despair. "You'll never be an overnight sensation! That rain had absolutely nothing to do with you! What are you yelling about?!"

The evil god puppet was completely deaf to what anyone was saying and was still shouting and yelling.

For the past few minutes, this evil god puppet had begun to refuse all communication. Rebecca's attempts to speak to it were completely ineffective.

In other words, the idea of ​​starting with the language itself is basically no longer feasible.

"Isn't there a way?" Agnes said to Rebecca. "I can stop the rain."

For Agnes, blocking the rain from falling from the sky was not a difficult task.

“No, our goal is to prevent Flora from discovering that this is an unusually heavy rain.” Rebecca shook her head, her eyes fixed on the still-roaring evil god puppet.

Rebecca was now very calm. Although the evil god puppet's roar had annoyed everyone, Rebecca quickly realized that if she continued to let herself be emotional, she would probably never come up with a good solution.

Therefore, she suppressed her frustration and made herself think carefully about where the breakthrough point was.

"Wait a minute... wait a minute." Rebecca's eyes suddenly widened.

The evil god puppet was still roaring, its voice hoarse and inhuman as it roared. A set of incomplete teeth protruded, making it look extremely ferocious.

I hadn't really noticed those teeth until now...

Rebecca quickly began to recall her knowledge of geography and humanities.

Because of its warm and humid climate, the Eastern Empire has a highly developed agriculture and corresponding traditions. Therefore, the people of the Eastern Empire mostly eat refined grains, and very few people would eat hard foods that would wear their teeth down to this extent.

So, what kind of people have such a high degree of tooth wear?

A place name quickly came to Rebecca's mind: Jergi Province.

This is a province of the Eastern Empire. This province is relatively close to the north and is rich in various nuts. It seems that there is a custom of eating hard foods.

Then there was the smell of the food the evil god puppet ate that morning, which I could smell on it before.

Rebecca also remembers that dried meat.

For someone like Rebecca, who is very sensitive to taste, many things will be firmly remembered after just one taste or even one smell.

Every region has its own unique cuisine. Even the simplest dried meat varies from place to place in terms of the type of meat used, the spices used for marinating, and even the type of salt.

The beef used in this jerky is not of the Western Empire breed; it originates from the northeastern part of the Eastern Empire.

It's not far from here, and the caravan should have brought enough food for the journey. In other words, this dried meat likely came from the place where this evil god puppet started.

The northeastern part of Jergi Province... that narrows the scope down to one city!

"I understand!" Rebecca exclaimed. "This person comes from Ochre City in the Eastern Empire!"

"Huh?" Leona exclaimed in astonishment, "You guessed it right away?"

"Hurry... I need to contact the people in Helheim," Rebecca said urgently. "You guys need to find a way to delay Flora from noticing what's happening outside. I need to act immediately!"

“Yes!” Agnes nodded solemnly.

All the raindrops that fell to the ground had their density subtly altered, and the spray from the raindrops hitting the ground gradually became denser. Although it didn't create a thick fog, the rain curtain was enough to obscure the clouds outside.

Rebecca, on the other hand, quickly created a spatial rift and leaped into Helheim.

Chapter 387 Campbell's Help

In the imperial palace of Dragon's Nest, Emperor Campbell was reviewing today's documents. It was already past lunch break, but he had only reviewed half of the mountain of documents piled up in front of him.

Beside him stood one of his personal maids, gently fanning him. Also present in the room was his courtier, Rogers. No one spoke, and no music played; the only sound was the scratching of the pen in Emperor Campbell's hand.

Just then, an abnormal magical fluctuation suddenly appeared in the room.

As a courtier of Emperor Campbell, Rogers was proficient in all kinds of martial arts and also had a certain level of expertise in magic. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty! There is unusual magic in the room!" Rogers reported hurriedly. "Please come with me and leave this place!"

"What's the panic?" Emperor Campbell raised his head and said calmly, "Any magic that can break through the defensive array of my palace won't help you run away. Let's wait and see."

The emperor remained as calm as a mountain, sitting motionless in his seat, and even finished reviewing a document while he was speaking.

Rogers suddenly realized that the defensive array in this palace was arguably the most advanced defensive array in the world.

If such a powerful magic array cannot stop the magic that is slowly gathering inside the room, then one can imagine how powerful the spellcaster must be.

Moreover, the magic power gathering inside the room did not seem aggressive and appeared quite peaceful.

Soon, a light source shone in the center of the room, and a blurry face appeared before Emperor Campbell.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, I am Abyss. Although it is somewhat impolite to communicate with you using magic in your presence, I have a favor to ask."

A boy's voice rang out in the room.

The maid standing behind the emperor trembled slightly in fright. It was the first time she had ever seen someone so bold as to use magic to communicate directly with Emperor Campbell, the pinnacle of power in the Eastern Empire.

“So it was the Abyss. I knew I hadn’t guessed wrong.” Emperor Campbell put down his pen and calmly looked at the blurry face in front of him. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

"As expected of Your Majesty, you have a magnanimous heart." Abyss first praised the other party, and then got straight to the point, "Your Majesty, I am currently trying to resolve a disaster caused by an extraterrestrial evil god. For this purpose, I need to investigate the information of a person who has been controlled by the evil god. This person should live in Ochre City of the Eastern Empire, and I would like to obtain your help."

Rogers stared wide-eyed at the blurry face that was speaking, utterly astonished.

This Abyss is incredibly audacious! How dare he make demands of the Emperor directly? Is this what a proud and arrogant magical genius is like?

Even imperial dukes dare not speak to the emperor so casually. The emperor is very concerned about the allocation of power and responsibility, and any overstepping of this authority would likely result in merciless punishment.

But the current emperor seems completely unconcerned about the other party's attitude, as if he were communicating with someone of equal rank?

“Yes, sure, since we’re friends.” Kamper nodded readily. “Right?”

“If the Emperor is willing to help me fight against the evil god, then of course we can become close friends,” Abyss replied with a smile.

Rogers, standing to the side, was practically biting his teeth off.

This Abyss! He's putting on airs! He's called a friend by the Emperor of the Eastern Empire and he still wants to negotiate?

If it were anyone else receiving such an honor, they would probably kneel down and shout "Long live the Emperor!"

“Tell me exactly how I can help you,” Kamper said, a triumphant elegance in his eyes. “Let’s see what kind of help I can offer.”

“It’s very simple. My people will be in Ochre City soon to conduct an investigation. You just need to arrange for the local city lord to cooperate with us,” Abis said. “Because the situation is quite urgent, my people’s investigation will be quite extensive. If the local authorities are unaware of this, it may lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings.”

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Rogers quickly whispered a reminder from the side, "This is tantamount to exposing the Empire's intelligence to others!"

“It’s alright.” Campbell gestured for Rogers to calm down. “If it can help Mr. Abyss, I think it’s fine to do so.”

"So Your Majesty agrees?" Abyss asked with a smile.

"Get your men moving. The local lord will be informed soon," Emperor Campbell said to Abyss, then told Rogers, "Rogers, summon Magnum Sethlian."
