Chapter 546: Lawn

20 meters to the left.

He had to use a normal person’s method to dig up the corpse without triggering the spell’s alarm.

Liu Ping’s eyes flickered as he looked at the patch of grass that the servant was digging.

There was a tombstone there that wrote:

[Tomb # 7, Obituary]

[— — -You haven’t repaid your debt, waiting for your return]

It was written in the tone of the lord of the manor.

But now ...

How can I have the servant go 20 meters to the left and dig up Delia’s corpse?

Liu Ping stood still, his mind quickly turned, but his expression didn’t change at all as he silently watched the servant dig up the tomb.

Now that I think about it, so much time has passed.

I even arrived at the location ahead of time.

The dragons — — -

There shouldn’t be any problems, right?

At the very next moment.

A deep and resounding dragon roar resounded from the sky.

Lines of burning text jumped out and appeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes:

[The dragons have begun to unleash their incantations]

[A total of 36 dragon incantations are being used on the Nightmare Manor, currently destroying the manor’s defensive system]

It has begun!

Liu Ping carefully listened to the dragon roar — — -

Damn it, these dragons haven’t even shown themselves yet and they’ve already begun to attack this manor.

The ground of the manor began to tremble.

Cracks began to appear on the ground one after another.

The sound of impact resounded from the void of space, followed by a flash of light.

That was the Dragon Hex clashing against the manor’s defensive system.

The Manor Lord’s voice abruptly resounded: "Damned insects, I haven’t even dealt with you yet, and you’re already here"

A black flash of light shot out from the manor and flew into the sky.

From various parts of the manor, a few individuals with powerful presences also flew into the sky and followed closely behind.

The dragons have made their move!

Liu Ping regained his senses and suddenly told the servant next to him: "The Manor Lord is invincible, don’t worry, continue digging."

The servant regained his senses and spoke apologetically: "I’ll continue digging."

"You’re digging in the wrong place."

Saying so, Liu Ping walked a bit to the left and pointed to the side: "— — It should be here, you dug in the wrong place just now."

A tombstone had appeared at the place he was pointing at without anyone noticing.

Two lines of text were written on the tombstone:

[Tomb # 7, Obituary]

[— — -You haven’t repaid your debt, waiting for your return]

The attendant was stunned. He looked at the tombstone in front of him and saw that it was empty. There was nothing written on it.

"Sorry, it should be Tomb 7."

The waiter quickly apologized and jumped out of the half-dug hole. He carried the hoe and went to the place Liu Ping pointed out.

He started digging again.

Liu Ping peeked around and saw that everyone in the manor was staring at the commotion in the sky. No one was paying attention to the lawn.

— — Let’s hope that the dragons can stall for a bit longer.

He glanced at the void of space again.

Lines of burning words floated in the air.

["You’ve used all your strength to cast ’Deception’ with your words.]

[You’ve activated Acting Skills: Special Effects Artist, causing a tombstone to appear on the empty ground. The original tombstone was covered by your special effects and turned into a wordless tombstone.]

[You’ve added the power of ’Deception’ to Occult Acting: Special Effects Artist, making all observers believe that the first tombstone covered by the special effects is tombstone number seven.]

The sound of hoes digging into the ground could be heard continuously.

The hole in the ground was getting bigger and bigger.

Liu Ping looked towards the sky and saw that the violent waves in the sky were starting to weaken.

It can’t be.

I’ve only dug halfway here and you’re already unable to hold on?

Liu Ping glanced around and found another waiter at the edge of the lawn.

"Hey!" he called out.

The waiter was originally looking up at the sky, but when he called out, he looked back.

"Come and help!" Liu Ping waved his hand.

The waiter hesitated a bit, then respectfully replied: "Very well, esteemed guest."

He walked to the toolbox, took out a hoe and came to help dig.

A voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ping’s mind:

"We can’t hold on any longer."

The sound of battle in the sky stopped.

The black streak of light once again descended and lightly landed on the lawn.

The Lord of the Nightmare Manor.

Liu Ping calmly replied: "Normally, dragons are people who know how to adapt to circumstances. I don’t know why those brats dared to provoke you."

"I have guests today — — I swear, it won’t be long before I get rid of them." the Manor Lord said.

"Of course." Liu Ping replied.

The Manor Lord glanced at the two waiter, felt that everything was fine, then ordered everyone in the manor to increase their vigilance, nodded to Liu Ping, then turned around and headed back into the manor.

— — -Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was some sort of Mystic-type reaction that made him instinctively come in front of Liu Ping.

But everything was fine.

[Deception] and [Special Effects Artist] were still operating steadily.

The Manor Lord returned to the banquet hall, sat down on the main seat, then began to talk with the guests around him.

From start to finish, he didn’t notice the situation of the tomb at all.

A few moments later.

One of the waiter reported: "Sir, we’ve dug it out."

"Very well, open the coffin and let me take a look." Liu Ping said.

He walked in front of the hole and tried to recall the umbrella bearer’s appearance.

With a heavy noise — — - The coffin was opened.

The two waiter looked inside, only to see the umbrella bearer’s corpse inside.

— — Occultism acting ability: Special Effects Artist.

"You can go up, I’ll take a look." Liu Ping said.

"Very well."

The two waiters stood on top of the hole, one went to return the tools while the other stood still.

Liu Ping slowly made his way down and stood in front of the coffin.

A female corpse was lying inside the coffin.

Delia!

Around Delia’s body, a human-shaped glow manifested as a shadow and manifested into Andrea’s appearance.

"Liu Ping ... we finally meet again"

Andrea smiled and sent a telepathic message to him.

"This isn’t the place to talk, I need to think of a way to take you away first." Liu Ping sent his voice.

"I’ll maintain a spell around Delia’s body, take us away!" Andrea said.

Liu Ping took a few steps forward, crouched down, placed both hands on the corpse, then lightly pulled them back.

The corpse was pulled by his power and flew up, landing on his shoulder.

Liu Ping’s expression was calm as he carried the corpse back to the hole.

"The goods have been inspected, they’re quite good." he smiled.

The waiter looked inside the coffin, only to see the umbrella bearer’s corpse still lying there, unmoving.

Although this guest’s actions just now were a bit large, it didn’t affect the corpse at all.

He silently nodded, then looked at the guest.

Only to see this VIP standing there with a satisfied look on his face.

"Very well, you may return to the banquet hall, leave the rest to us." the waiter respectfully said.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you." Liu Ping said.

He carried Delia’s corpse and slowly walked back to the banquet hall.

"How is it?" Seeing him return, the Manor Lord couldn’t help but ask.

"The corpse’s condition is very good, I’m sure my client will be very satisfied." Liu Ping said.

Everyone turned a blind eye to the female corpse on his shoulder.

— — [Special Effects Artist] + [Deception].

— — [Mystery of the Sacred Spirit: Body of Nothingness].

The Acting ability was already a self-deception ability, this time it had an additional layer of deception, not to mention it was reinforced by the power of the Sacred Spirit!

Under the influence of these three powers, no one noticed anything wrong for a while.

"Stay for dinner?" the Manor Lord casually asked.

"No, time is wealth, sir." Liu Ping said.

"Very well, then I won’t send you off, I look forward to your news." the Manor Lord said.

"Goodbye." Liu Ping said.

He bowed slightly, then left the banquet hall under the guidance of another waiter.

Going through the long stone steps, he returned to the front of the manor.

The horse carriage was already waiting outside.

"Take care, the master said that he looks forward to your next visit."

The waiter handed a crest to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping received the crest and smiled: "This business deal was so successful, of course I’ll come again."

He went straight into the horse carriage.

The horse carriage slowly left the manor.

A few dozen breaths later.

A few masked men suddenly appeared in the horse carriage.

The Dragon race!

"We couldn’t stop him, the time we bought was also a bit short." the leader said in frustration.

"It’s fine." Liu Ping said.

At this point, he had already retracted his power, Delia’s corpse was also in his arms.

But no one could see it.

"It’s fine?" the other party asked doubtfully.

"It is, I succeeded, I’ve found them." Liu Ping said.

"That’s great, then immediately leave the dream. That’s right — — make sure you don’t bring the manor crest back, otherwise he’ll find you."

"Here"

Liu Ping handed the manor crest over.

At the very next moment.

He woke up in the camp.

Delia’s corpse was lying quietly in front of the bonfire.

"You’re awake?" Aland asked with concern.

"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Liu Ping smiled and asked.

"No, I’ve been watching, don’t worry." Aland said.

"Thank you."

Liu Ping lowered his head and looked at the corpse.

— — Aland also couldn’t look at the corpse.

Is this the power of the [Body of Nothingness]?

"Andrea, are you there?" Liu Ping asked silently.

"I’m here." Andrea’s voice sounded.

...

At the same time.

In the Nightmare Manor.

The Manor Lord was discussing a new business deal.

Other than the Dragon race coming to bother him for a while, every other business deal went smoothly.

So he was in a good mood.

Suddenly, some doubt in his heart made him turn his head and look at the lawn outside.

On the lawn — —

Why were there two pits?

The Manor Lord disappeared from his spot and appeared on the lawn.

There were two pits here, one was grave number 7, and the other was an empty space without a tombstone.

"Master!"

The waiter knelt in front of him with a terrified expression.

"What happened?" the Manor Lord asked.

"I just found out that the place we dug wasn’t grave number 7." the waiter said.

The Manor Lord took a step forward and waved his hand lightly.

The ground suddenly cracked open.

An empty coffin flew out and landed in front of the Manor Lord.

He looked at the empty coffin and thought for a long time, but he couldn’t remember who was inside.

"Does anyone remember who was buried here?"

There was no response from the entire manor.

The Manor Lord gradually fell silent.

A murderous aura burst out from his body.

"Very good ... How amazing, the Dragon race is really something."

He laughed sinisterly.
