Chapter 801

~5 min read 833 words

In the underground temple, the group also saw the young King of Skeletons.

Because it was born at the same time Gray awakened, the King of Skeletons is the same age as the current Gray.

After some "talk-no-jutsu" from Extra Feng Xi asking, "Don't you want to have a life of your own?", the King of Skeletons gave up resistance.

Arriving at the ritual temple, Our King directly fired an Invisible Air, ending this ritual that should never have existed.

As the formation was broken, the King of Skeletons was about to vanish, but Extra Feng Xi captured it into a talisman with a Spirit-Binding Spell.

For this soul that had been a tool since birth, he still wanted to help.

Having preserved the soul of the King of Skeletons, the next step required a body.

To get a perfect body for the King of Skeletons, one naturally had to find that person.

That's right, it's Touko Aozaki!

Actually, one could also ask Gordes to create a homunculus, but Gordes is still in the research phase, and the homunculi he creates basically all possess self-awareness.

With two different consciousnesses mixed together, problems would easily arise.

The task of making contact naturally had to trouble Commandant Ken again; after all, he had managed to contact her in the original work.

Of course, he wasn't made to work for nothing; as a reward, Extra Feng Xi gave the Conqueror's contract to Waver.

Naturally, he had asked for the Conqueror's opinion first.

Alright, no more jokes; in truth, the Conqueror himself wanted to follow Waver.

After all, Extra Feng Xi preferred to stay cooped up at home most of the time, and the Middle Kingdom was a bit too dull.

The Conqueror felt that the Zhong Ta side was more interesting.

Regarding this, Waver's feelings were a complex mix; he was certainly happy, but even more worried.

He worried that the Conqueror would cause some kind of trouble at the Zhong Ta.

As for the real reward Extra Feng Xi gave, it was actually the high-quality mercury he had brought out from the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

Commandant Ken was just planning to modify his Volumen Hydrargyrum into the Trimmau of the original history, and he happened to need this mercury.

Just like that, the matter of Gray's hometown was settled.

However, before leaving, Gray's mother, Magdalena, still entrusted Gray to Our King.

Although the ritual had been completely destroyed, who knew what those crazy villagers might still do? Magdalena could only bear the pain and entrust her daughter to Our King.

To this, Our King agreed directly; she attributed part of the responsibility to herself.

This is why Gray lives with Extra Feng Xi now.

The matter of Gray's hometown was over, but after contacting Touko Aozaki, new things were discovered.

Hearing that it was Extra Feng Xi, a Middle Kingdom mage, who wanted to commission a doll from her, Touko Aozaki was very interested and invited Extra Feng Xi to meet at her current studio.

When they arrived at the city where Touko Aozaki was located, Extra Feng Xi froze.

Mifune City—

This name might sound unfamiliar at first, but those familiar with "The Garden of Sinners" would quickly think of it.

Isn't this the city where Shiki-nee resides!

So, this world and "The Garden of Sinners" are in the same worldview.

Extra Feng Xi hadn't noticed this before; after all, there are too many derivative worlds of Type-Moon.

By the time he arrived here, it was already 1997, and Shiki-nee had been in a coma for over a year; the story of "The Garden of Sinners" would have to wait another year.

As for "The Garden of Sinners," he didn't have much intention of getting involved; the only thing he wanted to do was see if he could save Fujino Asagami's life.

Afterwards, Extra Feng Xi and his group met Touko Aozaki, this Crown-rank puppeteer who loved to find amusement.

Extra Feng Xi took out a mechanical terracotta warrior as payment, allowing Touko Aozaki to manufacture a high-quality doll using Gray as a template to serve as the body for the King of Skeletons.

The King of Skeletons could finally walk in the sunlight like a normal person.

Of course, the strange name "King of Skeletons" had to be changed.

Extra Feng Xi pondered for a long time before giving her a name—Guna.

This name also originated from the Valkyries in Norse mythology; among the Valkyries, Gray represents noise, while Guna represents battle.

It fit the King of Skeletons' personality very well.

It's just that Extra Feng Xi, influenced by internet memes from his past life, always called Guna "Gunala."

When Guna asked Extra Feng Xi for the reason, Extra Feng Xi subconsciously performed the "Gunala, God of Darkness" act, resulting in Guna pulling out her Black Holy Spear and stabbing him for a while, and for a long time afterward, she looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a pervert.
