There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Name, purpose, identity."

Undeterred by the familiar face, Federico spoke indifferently.

His finger was on the trigger, ready to shoot if there was any disagreement.

"Ermengard, leave here. As for my identity, are you asking about my race or something else?"

Seeing that Federico was so tactless, Ermengarde threw away her disguise and her attitude suddenly became cold.

Don't be fooled by her usual nonchalant look. That's only in front of teacher Fremont. Deep down, she is still a Sarkaz.

What her long life brought her was not only knowledge, but also the malice of others!

"Can you two... please stop for now?"

Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Talina stepped forward in time and acted as a peacemaker.

When the covered bridge was broken before, Flemont and the lich named Ermengarde protected them, which could be considered as saving them.

She had a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. Since the other party had taken the initiative to show goodwill, there was no need to hold on to it, not to mention that they were the ones who took the initiative to break into Ludwig University first, and Fremont did not take any harsh measures against them.

Instead, she beat up other students.

"This...Ms. Ermengarde? Have you seen anyone else here besides us?"

Adhering to the principle that nuclear power is the most important thing, Talina stood in front of Federico to prevent him from arguing further with the lich.

"You're the only one who speaks nicely, little bird. Unlike these guys with light bulbs in their heads, they can't say anything nice at all."

Ermengarde was happy to have someone provide her with a step, so she walked down it.

It must be said that compared to Federico, who is ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, Talina is much better.

"As for the others... I've seen them, the descendant of the Utica family, and the lamb the teacher raised. I saw them once before when we were out, but they disappeared along the way."

Floating beside Talina, Ermengarde said thoughtfully.

Like Talina, she met two other people after arriving here, but before she could make any effort, the two people suddenly disappeared.

If she wasn't looking for them, she wouldn't be hanging around here.

"It seems someone took him in... It's hard to say. This is Utica's palace after all. It's rare for a junior to come here. Maybe he was just excited to see the prey and pulled him in."

"The palace in Utica? Ms. Ermengarde, if it's convenient for you, please explain it to me."

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient. We are all Sarkaz, so we should help each other~"

Ermengarde came closer to Talina with a smile on her face and sniffed with her nose.

"Ahhhhhh!!! What are you doing??"

This rather ambiguous action made Maria next to him anxious. She quickly moved to the side of Talina and Ermengarde, separating the two of them.

"You're having a big reaction, little girl. I'm just smelling her, I'm not going to eat her."

Seeing that Maria was guarding herself tightly against him, Ermengarde gave up the idea of ​​continuing to smell.

On the one hand, this action is indeed a bit indecent, on the other hand...

She could no longer sense the Wendigo aura on Talina.

Now Talina has returned to her previous harmless self.

This strange contrast made Ermengarde feel confused, but she was not stupid enough to say it to her face.

On the way, the three of them walked and talked with Talina. Ermengarde told Talina the specific situation here. After her explanation, Talina realized that they were brought here by the Horn of Origin.

The Horn of Origin that resonates with the Golden Rule is like a holy relic, and one will subconsciously approach the things that are most closely related to it.

That...

What could be closer than the Witch-King as his master?

"Wait... didn't they say the Witch King was dead?"

Noticing something wrong in Ermengarde's words, Talina expressed her doubts.

"He is indeed dead. We saw him die with our own eyes. Even... we indirectly killed him."

Sitting on her little cube, Ermengarde brushed aside the book that floated beside her and explained calmly, "But if he disappeared from this world, we wouldn't be here."

"He's probably the only one in the world who has created the world with his own great power."

"Impossible. The Witch King is cruel and wise. He will not allow the Twin Queens to deprive him of his throne, nor will he share Leithnia with others."

Before Talina could speak, Federico took the lead in refuting Ermengarde.

"Tsk... I really don't like you guys with lightbulbs in your heads. When did I ever say he was still alive?"

Giving Federico a blank look, Ermengarde led them to a door and released countless silk threads with a wave of her hand.

The silk threads began to spread out like dead branches of a tree, carrying an aura of death.

The door in front of them slowly opened, and countless particles burst out from it. Ermengarde stepped aside and showed the scene in front of her to the three people.

"Come on... Welcome... Well, not really that welcome."

"This is the burial place of the lich, and also the first line of defense against evil spirits."

"The palace of the Witch King Herhunzollon—Pavilion!"

PS: Damn, this is too abstract. I only posted one chapter on the 10th, but I wrote two chapters, but I didn’t post them!

Because the word count was less than 4,000, I wasn't counted as fully present. If I hadn't noticed the word count was wrong, I wouldn't have reacted! Ahhhhh!

What a waste of my vacation day!

Volume 8: Chapter 69: Once upon a time?

Particles splashed, blooming into a dazzling blue "galaxy". The sky was filled with countless stars, dazzling the onlookers.

Just by catching a glimpse of a corner of it, Talina could feel a sense of grandeur and magnificence.

"The Witch King's palace... Pavillon?"

Muttering the name of the palace in front of her, Talina couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

Seeing that these "country bumpkins" were successfully shocked, a look of pride appeared on Ermengarde's face.

One of the greatest pleasures in life is showing off in front of others, and this is especially true for liches who are immortal species.

It's just an alien space where they bury bones, but it can surprise these guys. I believe they will respect her more in the future, right?

Laughing foolishly alone, Ermengarde didn't notice Talina's strange expression at all.

After the initial shock, Talina thought of a strange fact.

"You said... this is the burial place of the lich?"

Pointing at the door in front of her, Talina said uncertainly.

"Of course, even though we are immortal, there will always be some who perish along the way. After their death, their bodies and lives... ahem! will be transferred here, to rest forever until the end of the world."

Ermengarde, who was about to reveal all her secrets, stopped herself in time.

"So this is your ancestral grave?"

"Strictly speaking, that's right."

"Then I have another question."

Stroking her chin, Talina said tentatively: "You just said this is the Witch King's palace, called Pavillon, it's both a ancestral tomb and a palace..."

"You let the Witch King build a house over your ancestral graves?"

"what?"

Looking at Talina with a bewildered look on her face, Ermengarde, who was still immersed in the mood of showing off, did not react for a moment and nodded blankly.

She hadn't expected this at all...

No, it’s not that I didn’t expect it, it’s better to say that I didn’t even think about it!

I didn't think so before, because Helhunzolen and her teacher had a good relationship, so I just covered it up. But now I think about it...

That seems to be the case...

"Haha... well, let's not talk about this for now. Miss Ermengarde, could you please take us inside first? After all, everyone's goal is to get out of here."

Maria covered Talina's mouth in time, smiled and changed the subject, while her right hand twisted Talina's waist inconspicuously.

He usually seems quite smart, why did he act so stupidly now?

They are just throwing water on other people's heads when there is nothing to talk about. It's just that Ermengarde didn't react. If it were someone else, they would probably have exploded with them directly!

"Go in first. It's dangerous to stay outside."

In the silence, Federico spoke first to break the deadlock and walked in as if no one was around. Before entering, he turned around and looked at Talina.

People often told him that his way of speaking was problematic, stiff, and he didn't consider other people's feelings, which confused him for a long time.

Now, after seeing the example of Talina, he finally understood how those people felt before.

Speaking is a science, he still has to learn...

"Ahem! Um, just pretend you didn't hear anything. Let's go in first."

Realizing that she had spoken out of turn, Talina coughed awkwardly, covered her waist which had been twisted, and quickly got into the crack of the door.

Maria followed closely behind.

For a moment, the environment that was extremely lively just now suddenly became quiet again.

Her expression changed several times, sometimes blue, sometimes green, and Ermengarde's mind kept echoing with Talina's words.

"Someone is building a house on your ancestral grave."

Not very aggressive, but extremely insulting.

"No... I have to go back and talk to the teacher to see if I can take it down for him."

Rubbing her almost overloaded brain, Ermengarde decided to put this matter on the agenda as soon as she returned.

How could they let others ride on the heads of their ancestors?

Having made the decision to demolish the house, Ermengarde left a mark on the spot and followed it inside.

Talina and the other two didn't stay in there for long, and since they didn't dare to wander around without her as a guide, Ermengarde didn't have to work hard.

"How much do the Leithanians love the Tower..."

Looking at the familiar spiral staircase around her, Talina couldn't help but cover her forehead in distress.

She felt like she was about to develop a phobia of towers.

"In Leithania, a tower symbolizes power. Every noble has his own tower, even if he is in dire straits."

Floating to Talina's side, Ermengarde was no longer surprised by these things.

After so many years in Leithnia, what kind of tower had she not seen? She had even been inside the Witch King's Tower.

"Come with me, I'll take you inside."

Looking at the surrounding environment, Ermengarde compared it with the Witch King's Tower in her mind. After finding that there were not many differences, she led the way with ease.

Talina and the other two followed Ermengarde without any suspicion.

Unlike the previous tower, the walls here were replaced with magic particles, and the stairs under their feet were also translucent, showing a blue color, and ripples would appear as they went up.

It's like walking on water.

As we continued to climb, some scenes that were different from those in front of the mountain began to gradually emerge.

The distance between the four people grew farther and farther, but they continued walking as if unaware, until...

"Maria...stay with me."

Greeting Maria out of habit, Talina reached behind her and grabbed something.

In her memory, Maria was not far behind her, and when she called, this friend would quickly extend her hand.

But she waited for a long time but did not get Maria's response or that warm arm.

"Maria? You...!"

Turning back in confusion, Talina looked for Maria's trace, but there was nothing behind her. Not to mention Maria, there was not even a mosquito.

Sensing something was wrong, she quickly drew the weapon from her waist, and a stream of heat so scorching hot that it seemed to tear through space surged out and surrounded her.
