Chapter 928

~8 min read 1,440 words

Seeing this scene, four guys nearby moved. The first was naturally Ang, who couldn't stand others wasting food.

Although the two mourning undead soldiers didn't eat after picking just now, they are undead creatures, and absorbing death breath is eating. Even if they threw it away, it wouldn't be called waste, not to mention that the fruit wasn't even thrown away. Ang naturally wouldn't have a reaction. Now this waste is fine, and spitting everywhere?

However, as soon as he moved, he was hugged by Naigelis, who was familiar with his temperament: "Dead-man fruit is indeed poisonous to living people, so it doesn't count as waste. You can't beat people up because of this kind of thing."

Besides them, the other two mourning undead soldiers also moved. The one on alert on the airship moved, but the step he just took hesitated and then retracted.

Another mourning undead soldier flew over directly, grabbed the fruit that Bessie had bitten, pretended to smell it, and then shook his head.

Although he didn't speak, after getting along for a long time, Bessie could more or less see the body language of these undead soldiers. Hearing this, she said with a big tongue: "Not poisonous? But why do I feel my mouth is numb?"

The mourning undead soldier looked at her tongue and still shook his head.

Yifu leaned over and said weakly: "Could it be Sichuan peppercorn?"

"Pfft pfft pfft... seems fine now. Could it really be a spice like Sichuan peppercorn?" Bessie said in surprise: "Why does it look like fruit? Hmph, deceptive thing."

Muttering to herself, Bessie pulled Yifu away to see if she could find more delicious fruits.

The two mourning undead soldiers and Naigelis all breathed a sigh of relief. The undead soldier who flew over picked up the dead-man fruit that had been bitten and rubbed it gently. The pure death aura attached to it had been absorbed by him. The remaining dead-man fruit was crushed by him, the pulp was thrown away, and the fruit core was collected.

"Uh, he took the seeds. What should we do? Should we snatch them back?" Yinbi asked.

Ang shook his head. Naigelis said: "No need. Seeds handled by Ang probably won't sprout without the blessing of the World Tree."

The dead-man fruit trees now are not the original plants of Laisi, but new varieties carefully cultivated by Ang. If he is willing, he can completely cultivate them into varieties that need blessings to sprout.

"That's good. However, his actions are all behind those humans. It seems that the relationship between the two mourning undead soldiers and these human mages is not very harmonious, feeling a bit reluctant," Yinbi said.

The Monarch was very familiar with this reluctant appearance: "Need to ask? It's exactly the same as Lord Nai Ge back then, reluctant and twisting. Just beat them up. It is estimated that their king asked them to protect these humans, and they have no subordinate relationship with these humans, so they would be like this."

It is indeed very similar. The two mourning undead soldiers are only responsible for safety. Even if these few humans can't even cook a meal, they didn't see them help.

Bessie and Yifu picked some edible fruits and came back. The two male mages also boiled water with dry food and made a pot of paste-like food. The four people gathered at a table, fruit with paste, and ate with relish.

While eating, Bessie suddenly cried: "Homan, let's buy a cook. If we have to eat this for another four or five months, I will die."

"Good good good, I'll buy a few more maids to serve you, okay?" The older male mage Homan coaxed repeatedly.

"No, the airship can't fit them. Just buy a cook. I can barely take care of myself, but we can't even cook a pot of rice together," Bessie said.

The space of the airship is too small. One more cook can still fit, but maids really can't fit: "If I had known, I would have driven that big luxury airship from home."

"We can buy a bigger airship," Yifu suggested.

As expected of noble children, they say buy an airship worth hundreds of thousands of magic crystals, and they want to buy a big one. That can't be solved by one or two hundred thousand magic crystals.

Homan spread his hands: "Didn't bring so much money. This is not the Alliance, our cards can't be swiped."

It's not that they don't have money, nor that they didn't bring money, but that they didn't bring so much money.

After discussing for a while, they found that "buying a cook" was the only feasible plan.

Bessie bit the sand date hatefully and said: "Buy one who cooks well, and must be ugly, so as not to be missed by you guys."

"How is that possible? What would we miss a cook for? Are we that kind of person?" Homan shouted with a guilty conscience.

"Pfft, you weren't before, but you are now. No, ugly ones aren't safe either. Buy a male one, so as not to be secretly slept by you guys."

"A male one is even worse. What if you guys secretly sleep with him?" Homan joked.

After pulling for a while around taboo topics like secret sleeping, Bessie said annoyedly: "If I had known it was so far, I wouldn't have come. We flew for four months, just to come over and watch a drifting fortress? What's the use?"

Yifu said: "It's a fortress drifting out of the Endless Great Void."

Homan spread his hands: "Right, the Endless Great Void is the point, not the fortress. Since historical records, the Endless Great Void has been an empty void. There isn't even the most basic dark element there, so it doesn't have the basic elements to produce life at all. Why would a void fortress fly out of it? Could it be that it came through from the other side of the Great Void?"

"And it glows. Glowing means what? Energy dissipation. It is flying forward actively, not drifting forward by inertia. Aren't you curious about what is inside the fortress?" Homan asked.

"Curious, otherwise why would I run so far with you? Is it because I'm too idle? But what's the use?" Bessie asked.

Homan took a deep breath, and his expression became solemn: "I don't know what the use is, but I know that if the creatures inside the fortress are enemies, then let's run quickly. He can cross the Endless Great Void to come here, his strength is absolutely not something we can defeat."

"No need, right? My dad said that the Alliance Council is going to assemble an army to enter the Endless Great Void to intercept it, taking advantage of the fact that it has consumed too much after flying so far, to take the other party down in one fell swoop," Bessie said.

"This is also a way. I hope the Council can succeed," Homan said.

Yifu suddenly said: "I remember that in the wild stone carvings, there is a stone carving from fifty thousand years ago that depicts the Endless Great Void, a pitch-black circle, with only a lonely light point."

Homan shook his head: "Wild stone carvings are all fragmented discoveries and do not form a system. Who knows what it depicts? And the inference of the age is not necessarily accurate. Why say those stone carvings were carved fifty thousand years ago? Clearly, the stones have existed since the beginning of creation, so couldn't they have been carved at the beginning of creation?"

Yifu opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Homan's words involved some academic disputes. He didn't recognize this method of inferring time, and if he continued, it would only become an argument.

Everyone changed topics and chatted a lot, hard-heartedly eating up the paste and fruits, and then returned to the airship.

The airship slowly rose into the air, made a big turn, and flew toward the Broken Land. It is estimated that it went to buy a cook.

After the airship disappeared into the darkness, everyone just wanted to come out, but was pressed down by Ang and the Monarch again.

Only to see a mourning undead soldier return, pouncing directly on the area planted with dead-man fruits, reaching out to pick fruits. After picking a few times, the undead soldier might have felt it was troublesome, and simply grabbed the fruit tree and pulled it out by the roots.

Ang stood up suddenly, the Monarch stood up suddenly, Naigelis and Yinbi all stood up suddenly.
