Chapter 550: Chapter 438 Loyalty Beyond Question_2

"Yes, my lord!" The Undead were excited, but they did not leave immediately; instead, they crowded around Magdalena.

New NPCs, although they have celebrity faces, must definitely have some hidden quests.

Magdalena, who had not expected to become so popular, was suddenly surrounded and became somewhat flustered.

"Miss Magdalena, is there anything we can help you with?" Rania asked grandly.

"Help me?" Magdalena was surprised; these "country folks" were really all the same. Whether it was Lind or the Undead, they were all so pure.

If possible, she wished the Undead could follow her as she left, but she knew that was simply impossible.

Those from the "countryside" were too naive and easily deceived. If she were a politician with ambitions, at this moment, she would have many ways to claim them for her own and make Lind regret it.

Even if she did not know how to manipulate people, being immersed in it had taught her many methods; it was precisely because of this that she could not understand the Corrupt King’s way of degenerating willingly to welcome the new era.

At that moment, gazing into those enthusiastic, hopeful eyes, Magdalena felt as if she were seeing flickers of faint light in the deepest darkness of the world, like the sparks floating above a campfire that was about to be extinguished.

"Yes, help you! Help this world! We are willing to sacrifice everything to pass on the fire! Even if it means sacrificing ourselves!" an Undead shouted out voluntarily.

Their language could influence NPCs, or rather, a more "medieval sword and magic" style of conversation, a more role-playing chat style, tended to activate quests.

Having played for so long, the Undead were all skilled actors.

"You’ve already done enough," Magdalena sighed inwardly, these Undead, who were about to embark on an endless journey of death, perhaps meaningless sacrifices, were still thinking of helping her at this point.

They were like flames.

Perhaps, that is why darkness was so enchanting.

The Undead, with the manners of a Noble Knight, bowed and retreated with perfect grace, once again surprising Magdalena who could tell that all the Undead were professionally trained nobles.

Magdalena turned her head and looked in the direction that Lind had left in. Such an outstanding troop must have cost a great deal to cultivate.

...

"[Unlock Noble Must-Read!] Step-by-step guide to 108 noble etiquette movements, elevate your class!"

Lind glanced at the etiquette course that had recently become popular among the Undead.

It all started when Rania left the Royal Palace on a pilgrimage, and by the roadside, she encountered the Undead. Then, one of the Undead, with a set of very skilled Noble etiquette, successfully caught Rania’s attention.

And then, he gained a lot of Rania’s favor.

Only Lind could guess that the reason the Undead gained Rania’s favor had nothing to do with Noble etiquette, but rather, it was most likely because Rania needed to establish an archetype, and behind it, there was undoubtedly Tao Lexi’s influence.

The bespectacled girl had the talent to become a power behind the throne. If in a world without Transcendent Power, she might have really wielded power over the government. Unfortunately, here it was all about who had the bigger fist. Because Lind’s fist was the biggest, he was the treacherous official in Tao Lexi’s eyes.

However, understanding Noble etiquette was by no means a bad thing. Using Noble etiquette when meeting NPCs for the first time could bring a lot of good impressions.

Elegance is timeless, after all.

With the actions of the Undead, all he had to do was wait.

On the other side, the Undead, upon learning the content of the quest, almost unthinkingly and tacitly chose the same method of play.

They definitely couldn’t beat it by fighting, but they could infiltrate Lionheart Fort to carry out internal sabotage and, by the way, get another round of rewards from the Black Blood of the Beastman; this time they really hit the jackpot.

Corrupt King, Lionheart King, Lind, claiming rewards from all three places—they struck it rich. Sure enough, following Lind was the right path.

Not far from the Beast Sacrificial Ground, Black Blood had been feeling somewhat exhausted these past few days.

Ever since he had taken on the task of negotiating with Wolfgang Longhorn, the Beast Prime Minister, he had hurried over. At first, Black Blood was worried that his appearance would be discovered by Lind, but to his surprise, the Undead he encountered hadn’t reported his presence.

Black Blood had enticed the Undead with various benefits, hoping they would follow him to Lionheart Fort. The Undead did not refuse, confirming his earlier suspicions, yet he hadn’t anticipated their insatiable greed.

The bargaining had been incessant and reached the point where Black Blood was forced to cough up all his own kickbacks, and even dip into his own resources, offering weapons, armor, Magic Potions, and so on, with each Undead demanding 1,000 beast teeth.

If 500 Undead came, he would have to fork over 500,000 beast teeth, a frightening price that made his head spin.

But if he returned empty-handed, Lord Wolfgang would surely tear him to shreds.

Ahead, groups of the Undead began to appear.

Before they could speak, Black Blood preempted them, "I can’t possibly offer a higher price."

He recognized the leader of the Undead, who went by the nonsensical name ’Seamless Leg Beauty,’ yet there was no denying he was a cunning trader.

The response came, "Give each person another 200 beast teeth, and I’m in, plus I’ll help you recruit others."

"Impossible, I can’t produce that!" Finally, hearing the Undead soften their stance made Black Blood feel secure.

"Then there’s no helping it~" Seamless Leg Beauty shook his head, "Black Blood, out of familiarity, let me share a tip: We also have a connection with someone named Magdalena; she offers just a tiny bit more than your price."

He raised his hand, pinching his fingertips: "Just a tiny bit!"

"Magdalena?!" Black Blood’s eyes widened.

The human he had been tasked with capturing was named exactly that, meaning the Corrupt King was also interested in the Undead.

However, the fact that the Undead had chosen to come to him indicated there must also be aspects of the other party’s offer that dissatisfied these greedy creatures.

"I will add another 50 beast teeth at most—bring as many people as you can!"

"100 beast teeth!" Seamless Leg Beauty gestured with his hand.

"Deal!" Black Blood clenched his teeth.

At all costs, he couldn’t let the Undead fall into the hands of the Corrupt King. It was one thing to let them rob and pillage in the wilds—the lives of the lowly Beastmen are of no concern to anyone, but if they reached the Corrupt King’s hands, Black Blood could imagine how irate Wolfgang would be.

When Black Blood saw 3,000 Undead boisterously standing together, his vision went dark.

1,100 beast teeth per person—how much money was that!

At the Beast Sacrificial Ground, Tao Lexi stood atop the ruins’ arches, watching the Undead leave with joy that seemed not feigned but genuine happiness from within.

No, no need to question the loyalty of the Undead.

She turned to look at Lind and saw that he was training William. Since Lind wasn’t in a hurry, everything must be fine.

Wait, could this be an opportunity to rescue the Beastmen trapped in the desert while all the Undead were away?

Tao Lexi had long realized that Lind never restricted the actions of the Undead. It wasn’t indulgence but indifference, ignoring all acts of the Undead as long as they didn’t touch his rules.

This was a chance.

She quickly turned and left; she needed to go there in person!
