Chapter 310: The Howling Opera Troupe

~8 min read 1,467 words

"It is a legendary artifact that can communicate with the undead world, possessing supreme power, capable of ignoring matter and striking directly at the soul..." Duchess Mei Sha took out a necklace from her chest and introduced it excitedly. But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Negris.

"Isn't this the necklace of the lead banshee of the Howling Opera Troupe—Voice of Wailing? How did it end up with you? I know why you were able to strengthen into an iron-skin shell in just two years. It turns out it's the Voice of Wailing. This thing has the effect of strengthening the soul. If there is still soul energy inside, it can also replenish your energy. Where did you pick it up?"

Negris recognized this thing. The Howling Opera Troupe, an opera troupe composed entirely of banshees.

Banshees are a very rare type of undead creature. They evolved from vengeful spirits, possess a certain degree of wisdom, and are best at using soul shocks.

Because their numbers are too rare, they didn't even become an independent undead creature species. But in fact, their formation mechanism is completely different from that of the undead, and theoretically, they should belong to a separate branch of undead creatures.

These rare banshees were gathered together to form an opera troupe. Their opera troupe wasn't for singing. When a dozen banshees gathered together and chanted the Undead Movement, all souls would be inspired.

Specifically to the Undead Army, all skeletons and zombies would be like they had been injected with chicken blood, drowning all enemies.

When they sang the Lullaby of the Night, all souls would be comforted. Specifically, soul energy would accelerate recovery, and soul wounds would be treated.

For a melancholic soul like Luo Ge, if there were banshees singing to him every day, he would definitely not be depressed.

This is a unit that integrates encouragement and treatment, belonging to... a witch's?

Thinking of this, Negris couldn't help but frown. He had lost most of his memories about witches, and some he dared not be sure of.

Duchess Mei Sha was dumbfounded and at a loss. She felt like she had taken an antique to someone else for appraisal, and the Tauren aunt on the side of the road glanced at it and said: Hey, isn't this the dragon-patterned steel-core mithril-inlaid magic-patterned earth-covered calcined gemstone-enhanced bright-white brightening washboard that just came out last week?

"I, I bought it. Bought it at the flea market," Duchess Mei Sha said stammeringly.

The situation was that Duchess Mei Sha was blessed by the Goddess of Luck and bought a necklace at the flea market, which turned out to be a magical accessory of the lead banshee of the Undead Empire's Howling Opera Troupe.

Originally, according to the routine of knight novels, she should have defeated her nemesis with the help of the soul artifact, married the prince, and stepped onto the peak of life.

Unfortunately, this Voice of Wailing necklace was useless when she was alive. It wasn't until she died that it began to strengthen her soul, allowing her to reincarnate as a lich and strengthen her body, becoming an iron-skin lich in just two years.

However, Duchess Mei Sha didn't think this was a blessing. If it weren't for the Cleansing Technique, even if she could regain her freedom and leave here, she would feel that this was a curse.

She had to live forever in a strong, hard, ugly, and withered corpse.

But Miss Lisha's arrival made her willing to believe that this was a blessing. Think about it, she died at her most beautiful age. Under the Cleansing Technique, she would forever maintain this appearance. Isn't this the legendary eternal youth?

"This is the blessing of the Goddess of Beauty," Miss Lisha said with a smile.

"Ah? Aren't you the saintess of the Church of Light?" Duchess Mei Sha asked in surprise.

"I was. I am now a saint of the God of Undead, a priestess of the Goddess of Beauty, and the incarnation of the Goddess of Harvest," Miss Lisha said.

The more Duchess Mei Sha heard, the wider her mouth opened, murmuring: "Your relationships are so complicated."

"Hehe, let me introduce you. This is Lord Ang, the God of Undead," Miss Lisha introduced.

Duchess Mei Sha glanced at Ang timidly, not daring to greet him. She had just experienced Ang's divine power and was shut down by him. She had tried her best, but couldn't move one of the other's hands.

"This is the God of Knowledge, Lord Nage," Miss Lisha introduced Negris again.

This dish, this one dared to greet him. Duchess Mei Sha hurriedly waved her hands: "Hello."

Good fellow, there were two gods in the group, truly walking with gods. No wonder she had no power to fight back. Duchess Mei Sha looked at her great-great-great... aunt with envy.

"You just thought we were sent by Luo Bote. Who is this Luo Bote?" Miss Lisha asked.

Upon hearing this name, Duchess Mei Sha, who was still a bit unnatural, suddenly became furious: "A despicable person. I want to kill him!!"

The title of Grand Duke of De Luo Sa of this generation was inherited by Duchess Mei Sha. According to convention, the Grand Duke's mansion would choose a young and promising commoner without a foundation to become Duchess Mei Sha's husband.

This Luo Bote was a sixth-level swordsman personally chosen by Duchess Mei Sha from among those screened by her parents.

At Luo Bote's age, and coming from a commoner family, being able to become a sixth-level swordsman was already very talented. From the age of sixteen, Luo Bote was taken to the Grand Duke's mansion for corresponding education, preparing to become a qualified husband for the female Grand Duke.

Luo Bote was also diligent and hardworking. Under sufficient nutrition and high-intensity training, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and he soon entered the level of a ninth-level swordsman.

He was also outstanding in cultural courses, learning various noble etiquette and knowledge, learning to write and calculate, and mastering a certain ability to coordinate and organize.

However, Luo Bote also had some habits that Duchess Mei Sha didn't like, such as greed, stinginess, and snitching. But her parents felt that this was just the nature of a child who grew up in a commoner family, and these habits would slowly disappear after mastering wealth and power.

Luo Bote's bad habits were indeed slowly disappearing. Thinking back now, it wasn't that he had changed at all, but that he had learned to hide. But this hiding made him gain the trust of Duchess Mei Sha's family, and everyone was waiting for Duchess Mei Sha to turn twenty-one to hold a grand wedding for them.

However, bad luck descended. Just as Duchess Mei Sha's birthday was about to arrive, Duchess Mei Sha's parents, the 64th Grand Duke of De Luo Sa, suddenly died of illness.

Duchess Mei Sha suspected that her parents had been poisoned, but the medical officer's examination said it was a myocardial infarction. Overwhelmed with grief, Duchess Mei Sha endured the pain, buried her parents, and then followed her parents' arrangements to marry Luo Bote, but she could never bring herself to share a room with him.

Two years passed like this. When Duchess Mei Sha took Luo Bote to the ancestral cemetery to pay respects to her parents, she was ambushed by Luo Bote from behind and killed on the spot.

By the time she woke up, she didn't know how much time had passed. She was put into a stone coffin and covered with a heavy lid.

Duchess Mei Sha pushed the lid open with difficulty, only to find the stone door closed, and she still couldn't get out. Just like this, she spent days like years among a pile of stone coffins, slowly watching her skin and flesh wither, until the arrival of Ang and his group.

"How hateful. Let's go, come with me. We're going to kill him." Miss Lisha's hair stood up in anger, and she said angrily.

Duchess Mei Sha hurriedly grabbed her great-aunt and said: "No, Luo Bote must have mastered the military power of the duchy. Relying on just the two of us, we can't get close to him."

Although there weren't just two 'people' present, hearing the titles of God of Undead and God of Knowledge, Duchess Mei Sha very sensibly didn't count them as 'people'.

Miss Lisha waved her hand: "Not afraid. My lord, let everyone out. We'll flatten this Luo Bote tonight."

Then, Duchess Mei Sha watched in a daze as Ang pulled an 'army' out of thin air.

PS: Every day I have to fight with a little person named Laziness. Sometimes I win, but today I lost...
