Chapter 544: Chapter 436 So You’re the Quest-Giving NPC_2
William: ??
He felt Lind’s gaze but did not understand, actively pondering with his head.
"King Lind?" Magdalena’s plump face puzzled, the title subconsciously made her think of the standard title of the Beast King, perhaps his full name was King Lind.
"The Beast King of the Beast Sacrificial Ground." Lind added a sentence, no matter what the other party thought, he had to clarify his identity first.
He could collaborate with any Beast King but joining was out of the question.
Magdalena opened her mouth.
They began to communicate, but the situation seemed different from what she had imagined.
Whether it was suddenly having a human claim to be a Beast King or Tione standing next to Lind, it had disrupted her initial thoughts.
"Miss Magdalena, why did you want to meet with us?"
"Because you’re humans," Magdalena stated matter-of-factly.
"Humans, quite rare?" Lind’s mind stirred; he wanted information on humans, though he had learned from others that Sky Star Magic School taught all kinds, not limited to races, but as humans, there were probably more common topics.
At the very least, his own appearance should be of some use.
If worst came to worst, letting William sell his charm would also work; Magdalena was ordinary not just in looks, but as a ’Princess,’ pairing her with his illegitimate child was more than sufficient.
William, swept by Lind’s gaze once more, immediately realized and stealthily rested his hand on his sword.
He had recently mingled with the Undead... namely being tricked by the Undead to go out for Echoes or other activities, where he always heard stories that in his view, perfectly aligned with noble intrigues, so captivating that William clapped continuously, known as "throwing the goblet as a signal."
Not understanding is fine, you throw the goblet and I’ll cut her down!
Huh? Lord Lind doesn’t have a goblet by his hand.
Lind, noticing William who kept looking at him and blinking rapidly trying to signal something, decisively chose to ignore him.
He’d previously only seen him as a hot-blooded protagonist, but hadn’t expected him to also have a silly dog trait.
"Quite rare," Magdalena nodded.
Although their conversation was brief, Magdalena was certain that Lind was completely unaware of this land, so his so-called origin from another continent was likely from another Material Plane.
However, whether other Material Planes had appearances of ’The Undead,’ she had never heard of such.
Among the Knights of the Apocalypse under Sun’s Testament, ’Undead Knight’ Samantha indeed possessed the trait of immortality, but it wasn’t like the Undead that appeared at the Beast Sacrificial Ground.
Moreover, when she arrived, she saw many humans, some dressed normally and some covered in armor steeped with Abyss Aura, each laughing and talking.
Could it be that the Demon Lord’s influence weakened in other Material Planes?
While Magdalena was imagining countless possibilities in her mind, Lind spoke, "So, what brings you to us, what do you seek?"
She nodded thoughtfully after a single sentence, rendering Lind’s grand setup a spectacle for the blind.
Fortunately, he didn’t let the Undead come in to live stream.
"Cooperation, but before that, I want to know, have you been affected by Abyssal Erosion?" Even if Magdalena felt her question was quite blunt, Tione’s unwavering stance beside her seemed to give her ample confidence, as if with Tione standing there, these people couldn’t possibly succumb to the Abyss.
"My continent was affected by the Abyssal Great Rift, but we countered and wiped out one of their forces," Lind thought for a moment and added, "The second force will be eliminated soon."
The process in Black Marsh Kingdom had already reached its middle phase, Sekapus Kingdom would naturally become the next target, even if Lind didn’t get involved, with his current prestige, those Undead would continually converge and join him.
Once the Undead formed a scale, their overwhelming force left no enemy that couldn’t be killed.
"Eliminate the Abyss?" The answer was beyond Magdalena’s expectation; were humans from other lower Material Planes this fierce?
"The Abyssal power on you is?"
Lind’s reply was even more straightforward: "Spoils of war."
The Beast woman startled at hearing this response for the first time; the Abyss was notorious for its madness and corrupting minds among other evil powers, Lionheart King had reached a pact with the Abyss but always refrained from using its power further.
Regarding the Abyss as spoils of war.
In her impression, humans from other Material Planes weren’t very strong, but as humans, they possessed extreme resilience.
She was willing to first secure the freedom to act, to establish a base in Magic Land to welcome humans, then send someone to Magic Land to select eligible powerful beings to join the Sealing War.
Not mentioning the Stars Falling in 30 years, even the upcoming Seal War was urgent enough to make her anxious.
But Lind had preempted her actions, everything felt like a surprise.
At least until now, it was all a surprise.
"So, let’s return to the initial question, Miss Magdalena, why have you sought us out, believing that there is potential for cooperation?"
"To eradicate the Abyss at its source!" Her gaze was firm, "Even if you eliminate all the Abyssal Rifts on the continent, these are just trivial minions of the Abyssal Demon Monarch; only by resealing the Demon Monarch can everything be settled."
Lind suddenly asked, "I wonder, if we hadn’t appeared, would you have sought out humans?"
