Chapter 572: Chapter 452: The Black Knight Should Log On Again

The Undead were about to leave, and Lind’s first thought was to wait 10 days.

He wanted to see in which direction things would ultimately develop. If it was like the last update, the Undead might disappear for a day or two and then reappear.

But he was well aware that the likelihood was small.

For he had gradually grasped the "official" characteristics. Whether it was some god or some strange consciousness, the goal of bringing the Undead into this world had been very clear from the start—to save this broken world. And any entity that could potentially harm the world was designated as an enemy.

For example, the Old Nobility whose bloodline powers were out of control.

And the Abyss that invaded the continent.

But their control over this world was weak, and their management of the Undead was inexperienced, which led to Lind taking advantage of loopholes to his benefit.

The benefits he gleaned seemed substantial but only enabled him to reach the levels of a 4th or 5th-tier Mage, hardly significant. So, even if they noticed Lind, they might not care all that much.

Loss of control was another weakness Lind had found in them.

When faced with major threats, like Abyssal invasions, the "officials" would issue main quests for the Undead to stand firm, yet they paradoxically lacked methods and means to fight back.

Aside from the Undead following Lind, the rest in other regions all cursed the game for having too many shitty monsters and for being stingy with resources.

From a gamer’s perspective, the experience was terrible. But if one were to regard this as the real world, the "Undeath" was nothing special, as Evil Gods abound, with many possessing the ability to revive after death—not to mention one of the Undead was a Knight of the Apocalypse. That Undeath and the Undeath of the people were wholly different.

For the Undead not blessed with the protagonist’s halo, being unable to deal with those powerful beings was quite normal.

Only Lind knew that being Undead was just one of their strengths; the gamified mentality, the cheeky tactics, and the advantage of "leveling up" were not to be ignored.

The officials had Undead at their disposal yet didn’t know how to use them, appearing quite obtuse. This made Lind consider probing them.

If the world’s safety was endangered, the officials would hastily seek the Undead. So what would happen if he now suggested that the Abyss invade again? Would the newly logged-off Undead immediately come online?

But he just toyed with the thought in his mind and then dismissed it. Harming others did not benefit himself. He knew all too well that every NPC was a living person. Even though his power was increasing and they say, "With great power comes no responsibility," maintaining basic human decency was still necessary.

"With the Undead gone, the heroic spirits of the Underground Tomb, the quest for the Dragon to go to the Sky Star Magic School, Mage Tower, and Stone Beast Fort among other places could only depend on me alone."

If the Undead disappeared inexplicably, Lind, as the leader of the Undead, would to others also belong to the "Undead." And if he remained, he might be suspected of not having the power of Undeath.

Currently, including the Corrupt King, many refrained from moving against Lind because they thought he too was Undead.

As long as he remained alive, he would forever be one of the Undead.

Such a huge loophole—if the Undead disappeared, it was best for him to vanish as well.

"Identity matters little, after all, I have no power to leverage. Inside the Beast Sacrificial Ground, there are only Soralis and Ull—Ull is an uncontrollable mad dog. And while the Corrupt King’s side seems very promising, standing entirely with the humans of Magic Land, and even Magdalena is fully committed to the future of humanity, the Corrupt King himself is a different story."

Not having the Undead around might not be such a bad thing as it provided him more freedom in his actions.

Thinking back to the days when the Undead were with him, he preferred the days when the Undead charged headlong into battle, but now he had to settle for second best.

Perhaps with more flexible and secretive operations, he could explore more detailed information about Magic Land in advance—for instance, noting down anyone who annoyed him in a little book, so that when the Undead came online, he could issue them main quests.

"Have all you Undead gone mad?"

The Beastmaster ran up to Lind on two little legs.

"What’s the matter?" Lind asked casually. He was considering how to explain the disappearance of the Undead, especially to Magdalena.

The Undead-led Newbie Village was something Lind had to keep in his grip. Although he hadn’t invested much effort in it, the name itself was very "official." Something that the whole of Magic Land, even the Magic World, couldn’t conceive of, it would be foolish to hand it over to Magdalena and aid her in becoming a significant NPC of a new map.

Self-sacrifice wasn’t in Lind’s plans. He preferred to repay kindness with a gushing spring for a drop of water, where the drop signified himself, and the spring, others.

The Beastmaster said, "Everyone is going mad asking for cats."

"Haha, that’s normal."

People were leaving, and this time no one knew for how long, nor whether there would be inflation in the future. It made sense to quickly spend all their money on useful things, especially beast teeth, since without Lind’s "regulation," the currency market for beast teeth was very stable, causing the Undead to easily find loopholes and make a killing.

When a group of people feared neither death nor law, making money was indeed very easy.

"Normal?"

"Yes, the Undead are about to leave for a while." Lind thought for a moment and decided he was too lazy to make up a story. The Undead had mysteriously appeared in Magic Land and would leave just as mysteriously. Even if someone found out, what could they do about it?
