Chapter 48: Chapter 48 She’s smirking, quickly rip her mouth off!
The time goes back to 2 hours ago.
Grace’s house.
The moment Louis saw Grace’s father return home safely, he turned and left without hesitation.
Alice frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Louis said, "To the border of Dragonbone Prairie, I feel something’s going to happen."
The chess piece is placed, there’s no need to say anything further.
He played so many moves to gain a time advantage.
Placing the piece at the center, surrounded by enemies, was to confuse others.
— Look at this person, so arrogant.
But!
He, Louis, wishes to emulate Emperor Jing of Han, who could kill with the chessboard, who bothers to play chess?
Now is the time to flip the chessboard.
The time working together has given Louis some understanding of their wild-tempered leader.
Loves to fight powerful enemies.
Beneath the savagery hides kindness towards people.
— Seems to have a bit of aversion to cowards.
So guessing the enemy might make a move, Louis directly told her about it.
He felt that with Alice’s temperament, she would enthusiastically say, "Count me in."
Sure enough.
Alice’s eyes shone brightly upon hearing this.
Louis said to Alice, "Sorry, leader, if you don’t want to go this time, please help protect Grace’s family with the Dark Crow Guard, we’ll split up!"
After saying this, Louis instinctively touched his neck.
Uh-oh, this sounded jinxed!
"Huh?"
Alice looked at Louis with dissatisfaction, her expression strange:
"Why do you think I’d be angry? Our Ashford Family doesn’t like indulging in social games, power, that’s earned through fighting."
She said this with a scratchy and brutal smile on her face, excitedly saying:
"Should’ve said so earlier, had I known it was this interesting, I’d have prepared more."
William softly reminded Louis:
"Your Highness, the Ashford Family belongs to the extreme conservative faction of Ense, loving this kind of thing the most."
Louis’s mouth twitched upon hearing this, pointing at Alice who looked rebellious, ready to fight in the next second:
"William, you call this extreme conservatism?"
William coughed: "Your Highness, extreme conservatism means thinking the extremists are too conservative."
"During the imperial times, the Ashford Family was already like this, wherever there’s war, there’s them."
Louis just felt headless.
Thinking this way, he increasingly felt Alice was quite something.
"How strange, such a brutal person, so young yet almost breaking into the exemplary level, why in the diary, she’s considered a small Karami not even worthy of a name?"
Louis couldn’t understand.
Could only assume the original was too strong.
At that moment, the arrogance of the transmigrator’s heart gradually faded.
"Louis, Louis, don’t just focus on greed and forget the remaining five sins!"
"Arrogance, jealousy, wrath, sloth, gluttony... any one can ruin a person!"
"Seems I’ve got to work harder, let’s set a small goal first, catch up to this wildcat!"
...
"Achoo!"
Olivia, galloping on horseback, sneezed.
"Someone must be cursing me?!"
She mumbled.
Humph! Alice, didn’t expect the Canghong Sword King to be in such a plight!
Don’t worry, your buddies are coming with an army to save you!
And the treacherous nation.
"I’ve unleashed my runaway weapon, hope nothing really happens!"
...
At this moment.
Louis and his group had started heading for the border.
Alice excitedly said:
"Caesar, if it’s as you suspect, I think we should find someone first."
Louis looked up: "Who?"
"Find the Pigeon Adventure Team, their leader the Colossus also accepted your mission, if there are indeed living dead here, he might be under attack."
"Why?"
William, controlling the carriage, said: "I know, ’Colossus’ Klos, an exemplary level figure, participated in the battle against Rudelson’s remnants years ago."
"Rudelson was also known as the ’Mad King’."
"Years ago, to bring back his wife who fell into the abyss, he launched the notorious [Bloodied Ten Days], creating an undead legion, intending to counterattack the abyss."
"Later, Rudelson was hammered to death by the Emperor, his subordinates’ few Kings of the Living Dead escaped, issuing a continent-wide bounty from the Adventurer Guild."
"The ’Colossus’ Klos from the northern continent participated in that grand battle, successfully killing a King of the Living Dead with his comrades."
"’Colossus’ gained huge fame because he personally destroyed the Mad King’s written ’New Book of the Dead’."
"Rumored, he was cursed by the Mad King’s writing, becoming an enemy of the living dead."
Louis nodded.
Classic!
Star Continent adventurer’s norm, like high-inspired archaeologists in the Cthulhu system, always crash into deadly crises during adventures.
— Some even seek them out.
"You should just say he’s a big target."
Louis rolled his eyes.
Alice bared her teeth: "That’s not a target, the living dead seeing him are more thrilled than an old lecher seeing a passed-out beauty."
"A bunch of half-dead guys could instantly harden up... Uh, I meant fists, why’re you staring at me?"
Louis pondered: "If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be in great danger?"
Alice waved it off: "Rest assured, Kings of the Living Dead are history’s trash, ordinary living dead couldn’t possibly hurt the Colossus... uh."
Alice’s mouth twisted.
Louis shouted: "Her mouth twisted, William, quick, tear it off."
William silently drew his sword, looking sternly into the distance, saying heavily:
"Leader, next time, don’t be so stubborn."
Alice looked at the desiccated clown giant emerging from the prairie sky, yelling oh my:
"It’s the King of the Living Dead from Hell Circus, but I clearly remember the Clown King was already taken out?!"
William said gravely: "The death of the flesh brings an eternal spirit... A remarkable Mad King, learned something new today."
Louis maximized his hunting senses, a dark aura surged towards him, but the next moment, black flames emerged from Louis, dispelling the aura instantly.
"Thanks, Limuru."
Louis frowned: "Not good, something seems to be happening to that adventurer over there."
Alice was anxious: "Colossus isn’t good at dealing with spiritual bodies, we’re still a ways from there."
"Can the gigantic slime hold on?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Why? For the hero’s entrance, of course!"
Louis patted the backpack behind him, from which a miniaturized slime jumped out, landing on Louis’s hand:
"Limuru, save the people, I’ll give you a feast today!"
The next moment, the sling on his hand started whirling.
A BGM involuntarily flashed in his mind:
"The large windmill goes spinning spin-spin!"
"Go!"
Simultaneously, William stood up.
The colored smoke from his waist flew into the sky, exploding with a bang.
The wind rises!
