Padding and Olga's expressions immediately changed.
They didn't think that Lulunaka would lie at this time. If the Spirit Body Demon really existed, then it was impossible for the two of them to deal with that kind of existence. It was still possible to escape, but with Julius, it might be difficult to escape.
"If you understand, then leave here quickly. I will catch up with you in half a day or a day." Lulunaka waved at the two of them, looking like she was driving them away.
Without saying anything, Olga carried Julius on his back and left with Padding in the direction indicated by the green flame.
After they disappeared into the fog, only Lulunaka was left.
Lulunaka stretched and sighed.
"There are so many things to worry about … Now, there is another big trouble coming."
The thick fog around Lulunaka was blown away, and a huge thing appeared in front of Lulunaka.
It was a skull made of thick fog. The fog that was blown away was absorbed by the skull, making its shape and outline more distinct.
A green light appeared in the skull's eye sockets, which was exactly the same as the lantern Lulunaka gave to Padding.
It opened its mouth, and the only thing left were its pale teeth, which were also made of fog. The mouth of nothingness was enough to swallow Lulunaka in one gulp.
"I welcome you as a guest, Alchemist."
The skull made a sound, and the sound made the thick fog that formed its body tremble, slightly spreading out and coming together.
His voice seemed to be wet, and in the fog, it sounded unreal and a little distorted.
"But I also said that I don't welcome people sneaking into my territory. It's like seeing a huge rat pass by my feet. It's disgusting."
"Long time no see, my dear Spirit Body Demon."
Lulunaka smiled and bowed to the huge skull in front of her. "Why would an existence like you care about a little mouse like me?
This is not like the magnanimity of a big shot. "
"First, I am not called Spirit Body Demon, that is the name of my race.
I have a name, Gostline. "
The huge skull, which Lulunaka called Spirit Body Demon, raised its head high and looked down at Lulunaka.
"Second, even if I am an undead in this form, it doesn't mean that I don't care about hygiene.
Only those who like rotting like mice, I am not one. "
Then, he lowered his head and looked at Lulunaka at eye level — at least, he thought it was at eye level. Although his line of sight was undoubtedly higher than Lulunaka's, so his pair of green flame eyes could only look down. "Third, if you are a mouse, then you are too fat … So big that this forest doesn't even dare to breathe."
Lulunaka was embarrassed and touched her head. "This is too exaggerated. Even if you say such nice things, I don't know how to respond. The truth won't make people happy.
If you want to flatter people and make them happy, you have to say something that the person has never done and done well. Only then will it be effective. "
The skull spat out a mouthful of fog and sprayed it on Lulunaka's body. This made Lulunaka close her eyes and reach out to cover her face. "I don't hate your honest attitude, but in the ears of others, it is too harsh." The skull named Gostline said.
"Is that so?
I don't think it's a problem to be honest. "
"Although in this world, honest people have probably been killed by some bastards and become rarer than rare animals," Lurunaka said with a smile, then shuddered, as if she had been chilled. "In this world, honest people have probably been killed by some bastards and become rarer than rare animals."
"That's right, only you, an alchemist with a mind full of crazy … strange ideas is left," Costline said.
"I think I am a very honest person. I have never lied to anyone." Lulunaka laughed.
"There are two kinds of honest people. One is the honest person, and the other is someone like you."
"Someone like me?"
"Crazy alchemists, crazy alchemists … Or should I say, lunatics."
Lulunaka frowned and looked a little unhappy. "I hope you call me a dreamer, an alchemist with dreams."
"I have always treated you as an alchemist, Lulunaka," Gostline said.
His skull retreated a little and then rose into the air. In the fog, a pair of arm bones formed by the fog appeared and stuck to the ground.
Gostline now looked like a person sitting on the edge of a table with both hands on it — if one ignored the fact that it was a huge skeleton formed by the fog and had no lower body.
"I don't want to waste time with you, alchemist.
Although I have a lot of time, and you have the same, I don't like to waste time, "Gostline said.
"Let me think about it. You snuck into my territory and did something I couldn't see under my nose. Aren't you going to explain it to me, your master?"
Lurunaka chuckled and waved at Gaustelaine as if she was making fun of him. "I don't remember this being your place. Strictly speaking, this is a public place. It's just that it's closer to your home.
You didn't even send your men to guard this place, but you divided this place into yours. Then, you came to me to denounce me. Isn't this a little inappropriate? "
"Believe me, if there were dozens of barrels of black gunpowder next to your house, dry and of good quality, and can be ignited by a little spark, you would be as nervous as I am — especially when there is a rat with sparks all over its body."
Gostline's voice slowly became sharp and high-pitched. "The worst thing is that you can't do anything about this rat that can only gnaw your skull off!" The flames in his eyes swelled up, and the pupils of the flames flickered violently.
Probably because Gostline's attitude became a little harsh, Lulunaka was like a girl being scolded by her father. She straightened her posture and faked a few coughs. "Don't be so nervous, sir.
As an apology and compensation for disturbing your peace, I have already destroyed the gunpowder barrel that has troubled you for many years. "
Lurunaka's words caused Gostline's slowly rising emotions to calm down, as if cold water had extinguished the flames. Even the green flames that burned fiercely within his eyes that were continuously pulsing also calmed down.
Gostline's head moved closer to Lulunaka. "This is a strange thing.
It was set up here, a training ground from ancient times. You … broke it? "
"It was originally broken. Rather than saying that I broke it, it's better to say that I just let it have the ending it deserved."
Lulunaka's answer made Gostline silent.
The flames in his eyes flickered, and after a while, it returned to normal. "I can't feel its existence anymore. It disappeared?"
Lulunaka shook her head. "It's still fine here, but there won't be that annoying phenomenon anymore." She said, looking at the surrounding ancient buildings. "It's just like these stones.
Be happy, Gostline. The thorny collar on your neck that always made you uncomfortable has disappeared. You can say that you're free. "
"I'm not an optimist, nor am I a pessimist," Gostline said.
He spat out clouds of mist from his mouth, and the green flames in his eyes flickered. "Most importantly, I have my doubts about your words.
Let me wait and see what will happen in the future. "
"As a skeleton, you're too cautious, sir."
"In life, it's never a bad thing to be a little cautious.
No, I'm already a dead person. Or should I say, I'm not even a dead person in the true sense. Should I say that I'm a ghost living in the world, or a living dead person living in the world? "Gostline seemed to be amused by his own words, and laughed out loud.
This unfunny joke made Lulunaka shudder. "As a dead person, you're much more humorous than a certain someone … But it's just humorous. It doesn't sound interesting at all."
When Gostlein said that he wasn't a real dead person, Lurunaka felt that he wasn't wrong.
A Spirit Body Demon wasn't the resurrection of a dead person, but the resurrection of a group of dead people.
Countless creatures died with obsession and hatred. If they couldn't be buried, those souls would sometimes gather together, and the many weak souls would form a single entity. That was a Spirit Body Demon that was so strong that even warriors like Padding and Olga would tremble.
As for how many souls this process required, Lulunaka knew. Or it could be said that she was very familiar with the process of giving birth to a Spirit Body Demon.
"Do I look like someone who cares if you think it's interesting, Alchemist?"
After seeing Lulunaka shake her head with certainty, Gostline looked very satisfied. "Then, let's talk about another matter.
A fat mouse brought a few small mice in. Why is that?
I said that I welcome you as a guest, but that doesn't mean that I welcome others. "
"It's just a few small characters who aren't enough to reach the apex. Can you please not be calculative?"
"Don't try to lie to me."
Gostline's head quickly approached Lulunaka, looking like a person sitting at a table talking to the small mice on the table. "You used the spiritual fire collected from my body to guide and protect them. Don't tell me that you don't expect me to sense them?
An empty heart, a crystal heart, and a sapling that just sprouted … Which one is a small character? "
"To a great Spirit Body Demon like Lord Gostline, of course, they are only small characters!"
Lulunaka made a very exaggerated appearance. "Your strength and immortality, even the mortal emperors can't compare to you!"
Gostline looked at Lulunaka's performance speechlessly. Then, he stretched out his finger and tapped Lulunaka's head, making Lulunaka cover her head and squat down. "I don't like to listen to this kind of flattery, although it's the truth.
And I don't like it when you flatter me, Alchemist.
It makes me feel a little strange. "
