At this mont, Isabella also erged from her anger and regained her composure, not delivering a fatal blow, but temporarily stripping Yusto of his magic powers.
"This ti, I really just ca to help," Yusto felt aggrieved, "I was just helping a friend look for sothing."
"Looking for sothing? How did you end up in Claude’s tomb?" Isabella stared at Yusto, with an air that suggested she might kill him at any mont.
Yusto was not afraid of Isabella. Though Isabella was stronger, the ghostification of the undead mage naturally countered the blood magic of vampires. Comparatively, he feared the girl beside Isabella more, as her bizarre magic had already proven she had the power to kill him, regardless of any magic escape thods he had.
Yusto hesitated for three breaths, then compromised.
He hailed from the Northern Lands, a place where countless frozen corpses amidst the endless snow beca the origin of his path as an undead mage.
The most famous race living in the Northern Lands should be the Giant Race.
This ti, Yusto received a commission from the Giant Race to find sothing in Claude’s tomb.
"Giant Race? What do they have to do with Claude?" Alice wondered aloud, "What are they looking for?"
Yusto replied, "The crown symbolizing the authority of the Giant Race."
"The Giant’s Crown..." Isabella murmured, suddenly realizing, "The recent unrest within the Giant Race is..."
Yusto nodded and said, "Yes, the forr king of the Giant Race recently passed away. His body beca a new mountain in the Northern Lands. To choose a new king, the Giant Race fell into internal strife, desperately needing the crown to resolve it. And the last recorded holder of the Giant’s Crown was the Twilight Bishop Claude."
Alice blinked, inwardly consulting Shen Sui about this matter.
Shen Sui recalled that this crown indeed was in his possession.
It was handed to him by the Giant Race as a symbol of their allegiance to him, one of the tasks Shen Sui undertook while helping Vivian recruit an army.
"There indeed is such an item," Shen Sui answered Alice’s query, "but it’s not here. I casually put it in a storage box at the entrance of the Thousand-Year Mine in the Northern Lands."
"Huh? Such an important item, placed so carelessly?" Alice couldn’t understand.
"Is it very important?" Shen Sui replied, "It doesn’t have any special abilities, the attribute bonuses are poor too. It’s only a collection item, no special significance, isn’t placing it casually normal? I have many similar things. For example, in this mine, I rember there’s a Beast God’s Treasure said to command all magical beasts. Do you want it?"
Shen Sui originally intended to say these collection items had no combat bonus, just looked impressive.
But he imdiately rembered, now this was the real world, these items that were only impressively described in the ga may indeed have special anings, so he changed his tune and spoke to Alice.
Alice’s eyes imdiately lit up: "I want! I want! I want!"
On the other side, Isabella ultimately did not kill Yusto, though this undead mage was indeed disgusting, he surprisingly received much protection from the church. As a Blood Race queen, Isabella still had to consider her tribe’s interests, unlike the Elf Race and Dragon Race who could directly disregard the church’s dominance.
Yusto originally thought he had escaped a calamity.
However, just as Isabella turned away, Alice showed Yusto a very cute smile.
And with this smile ca a spark of fla in Alice’s hand.
It was Alice who killed Yusto, what does it have to do with , Isabella?
"No! Don’t kill ! I’m a follower of the Death God! If you kill , you’ll regret it! The great Arianna will avenge !" Yusto scread in horror.
Though Alice was only eighth grade, she truly possessed the power to kill him.
Alice’s mouth curled into a smile, a hint of a grin made Yusto feel despair.
The scorching fla ignited Yusto’s soul.
Isabella did not expect, Alice was so decisive, not a hint of hesitation nor a wasted word.
"Do you despise undead mages that much?"
Isabella thought Alice’s decisiveness was due to a natural hatred for undead mages.
Alice shook her head, said, "Not really, it’s just a form of power. If he only controlled magical beast corpses rather than human bones, I probably wouldn’t kill him."
Isabella’s attitude towards Yusto was clear; this guy frequently stole the bones of powerful beings, causing harm.
Isabella sighed and said, "Behind him is the Death God, but the Death God’s influence is weak. As long as you reveal your identity, they shouldn’t trouble you."
She wasn’t talking about being Claude’s student, but as the Pope of the Church of the Master of Thunder.
The Death God wouldn’t dare oppose the Master of Thunder for an undead mage.
Of course, Shen Sui didn’t worry more.
What does it matter however that he killed a follower of Arianna? Even if Alice asked Arianna to beco her follower, Arianna would gladly comply.
"By the way, is this treasure box really so useful?" Alice crouched down, looked at the empty treasure box she had taken everything from, lost in thought.
