[They've returned to the beacon "London Journalists' Headquarters" in high spirits.]
[The naive and simple-minded have returned to the beacon "London Journalists' Base Camp"]
[Laughing and joking: Brothers, big news!]
[Don't be so naive: This is a major event!]
[Talking and laughing: Hey, someone come quick, stop those furnace pipes!]
[A captivating moment in journalism: Here we go... Wait, you two are still alive?]
[To take this out of context: What? Someone come to inspect the furnace... Holy crap, it's come back to life!]
[Chatting and laughing: ? We're not dead, what do you mean by "came back to life"!]
[Don't be so naive: I was busy the past few days, so I didn't contact everyone.]
[Londia Shock Department: Shocking! Two men who went missing in the wilderness for several days returned and were found operating a stove in public?!]
[Talking and laughing: Damn it, get lost!]
[To be honest, this news probably won't make the headlines in Londia.]
[A captivating moment in journalism: Indeed, the Venerable Lundia's heart is incredibly strong.]
[Not the Boss: What's all this commotion? Where did you two go? Has the rumor about the Herod Ruins been confirmed?]
[Chatting and Laughing: Boss, it's like this, we haven't confirmed the news about the Herod Ruins yet...]
[Not the boss: ?]
[Don't be so naive: But we've found a series of big news stories!]
[A captivating moment in journalism: It's obviously fake.]
[Londia Shock Department: A series of...? Did you guys eat poisonous mushrooms?]
[Too naive: It hasn't eaten yet; it's been stubbornly resisting with its food-creating magic.]
[Not the boss: Don't try to fake big news with journalistic techniques again. The first rule of the employee code is: journalists don't fool other journalists!]
[Talking and laughing: Don't worry, one of these big news stories can already be confirmed.]
[Too naive: Tigger, the dominant predator of the eastern wilderness of Senhai Territory, is dead.]
[Londia Shock Department: Holy crap?!]
[Not the Boss: Huh? Really?]
[Talking and laughing: I saw it with my own eyes, but it's just a small matter. We'll continue to follow up...]
……
After briefly reporting the situation, the two reporters finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.
For the past few days, they hadn't dared to go online because they didn't have any confirmed performance data. Now, they can finally chat happily in the group.
Moreover, after discovering that the Titanian king paid no attention to them, they mustered their courage and moved a little closer. For some reason, the connection to the magic network seemed to become much more stable after they got closer.
So next, we'll follow this news story to where it finally came to a conclusion.
The two reporters followed with great interest as the Titan Palace began to move slowly again.
……
……
Latis glanced at the magic radar and saw two people following far behind the palace.
These two guys were online within his personal magic network, their usernames and group chats were all exposed to him, he didn't even need to open the box himself, he truly embodied the form of a cyber policeman, terrifying indeed.
Upon seeing the chat logs, he recalled hearing from the daily newspaper about the disappearance of two journalists when he left Lundia.
So these are the two guys!
As for what they were saying in the group chat about "corpse party" and "birth of a new king," Latis found it amusing but didn't stop them. In fact, he was somewhat pleased with it. It was practically free advertising space, and the London Daily News was being too self-aware.
Therefore, Latis not only did not drive them away, but also pretended to throw away some trash and some unused supplies. After they rummaged through them, they should be able to survive in the wild, so there was no need to worry about them starving to death.
"I never thought someone like me would be followed by paparazzi one day."
Latis couldn't help but mentally grumble, then ignored them, glanced at Yashutia fiddling with Tigger materials in the corner of another room, and looked at Cambinash bowing below the throne, saying:
"No need for formalities, Lord Cambinash. It's quite a coincidence that my third sister, Yashutia, happened to meet you. Otherwise, we don't know when we would have met."
"His Majesty Titania is incredibly insightful; Cambynash is filled with admiration."
Camby Nash bowed respectfully, nodded to the puppet that walked to his side, and sat down in the chair that the puppet had brought.
She looked up at the imposing King Latis of Titania, momentarily at a loss for words.
Upon regaining consciousness from her severe injuries, Cambynash immediately sensed the necromantic power surging within her body, which filled her with immense fear, terrified that she would be crushed to ashes by the magical net at any moment. However, seeing Latis's confident expression, she instantly understood that this person was definitely the one the Witch God had sent her to find.
The person who can control the magic network and also know her name and background in advance must be the one who uploaded necromancy to the magic network.
Before coming, she had guessed that this gentleman must be a mage who had studied necromancy, but she did not expect that his divination ability was so strong. He was indeed worthy of being the master of Yashutia.
Thinking this, Camby Nash sighed slightly, figuring that this gentleman probably already knew her intentions, so she stopped thinking about it and said:
"In the prophecy of the Witch God, Your Majesty is the heaviest weight on the scales of fate. More than a hundred years after the goddess's departure, the situation in Atlantis is complex, and all that was swept away is slowly regenerating."
"Now, the Queen is ambitious, the gods are making a comeback, and the underworld is stirring. The Witch God Society cannot stay out of it either. Therefore, it is willing to place its weight on Your Majesty's tray in order to seek peace in the world of the dead."
Latis frowned slightly, stroked his chin, and fell into deep thought.
The message from the Witch God Society was brief and cryptic, but he still sensed something different in it.
In the prophecy of the sorcerer god, the queen, the gods, and the underworld seem to be the three "villains," while he himself, as a symbol of death, surprisingly shows a sense of neutrality.
Furthermore, the sorcerer mentioned that "more than a hundred years after the goddess left, all that had been wiped out is slowly regenerating." It seems that the target of his words is not the goddess who once beat him half to death, but rather other characters who were also beaten by the goddess, which makes Latis very puzzled.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the Witch God Society and the Goddess be in opposing camps?
Latis lowered his hand, looked at Camby Nash who was waiting, thought for a moment, and asked in a deep voice:
"Is the Church of the Goddess an enemy or a friend to the Witch God Society?"
Camby Nash paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, quickly pulled out a brocade pouch from his person, took out a stack of papers, glanced at the words "all-purpose answer" marked on it, unfolded it, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"It doesn't matter whether the Church of the Goddess is friend or foe to the Witch God Society, nor does it matter whether the Goddess is friend or foe to the Witch God. But for those who were wiped out, the Goddess is an enemy, but for this world, the Goddess did a good thing."
"What riddle-maker?"
Latis took a deep breath, resisting the urge to curse, and shook his head slightly.
It seems that Camby Nash was also unaware of the Witch God's stance and could only speculate that, in short, he meant that he was not going against the goddess.
Suddenly, Latis seemed to realize that something was wrong.
The first two sentences of this answer separate the answer to the sorcerer god and the sorcerer god's association, and also separate the answer to the goddess and the goddess's church. Does this mean that these two gods and the forces under their names do not have the same position?
Thinking about this, Latis noticed something else: he seemed to have always had a slight liking for the goddess because of his experience in the goddess's church during the previous simulation and because of the queen's hostile attitude. Sometimes he would even subconsciously categorize himself as a member of the goddess's camp.
But upon closer reflection, there are certain unsolved conspiracies within the magic network created by the goddess, and her stance is actually quite ambiguous. If we consider it this way, Latis feels that he is actually biased towards the goddess's church rather than the goddess herself.
As soon as the thought arose, Latis seemed to have realized something and slowly exhaled.
He glanced at Camby Nash beneath the throne, pondered for a moment, and then smiled as he said:
"Please thank Lord Witch God for his kindness on my behalf. I can establish friendly relations with you."
……
……
Yashutia put down the tiger tail in her hand and sighed somewhat sadly.
After fiddling with it for so long, she wasn't actually thinking about what she wanted to do with the material. Instead, she remembered that she had inadvertently targeted an ally, which made her feel a little uneasy.
After hurriedly taking the remaining dead into the palace passageway, Latis didn't even have time to ask her why she was looking for so many dead before going to question Cambinash.
Her desire to curry favor with Latis gradually turned into frustration. But thinking about it, it made sense. Latis didn't really need to practice necromancy to be powerful enough. Although she was eager to do her part for Latis in her own way, it didn't seem to be very effective.
"Waaaaah... This is the first time I've felt so useless..."
Yashutia, who always prided herself on being a genius girl, slumped to the ground in dejection, unable to resist touching the scars on her body from her fight with Tigger.
Actually, she hadn't accepted the fact that she had become a lich so quickly. As a young girl, even if she considered herself a villain, she still wanted to share her warmth with the person she loved. Therefore, she was eager to let Latis warm herself up as soon as possible before she really died...
Fortunately, she did not truly die before transforming into a lich, and her body temperature could be maintained for a long time.
But she needs to find a way to help Latis as soon as possible! Otherwise, with so many girls in the family who are cuter than her, when will it ever be her turn?
Yashutia gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, grabbed the tiger's tail, and began to think about what she could make.
Suddenly, a leaf-green skirt appeared beside her. Silver Hugh bent down and whispered:
“Miss Kurosawa, speaking of which, are you an alchemist? The magical puppets might need your help.”
"Eh?"
Yashutia raised her head, paused for a moment, then broke into a big smile, nodded vigorously, and said:
"Okay! I'm coming right now!"
Chapter 353 The Witch God and the Corridor of the Dead
Behind the main hall of the Titan Palace are two interconnected spherical rooms. Due to their large size, the interiors of these spherical rooms are divided into several functional areas. In addition to the living quarters, there is a materials warehouse that is now completely depleted, a main hall furnished with sofas, coffee tables, and dining tables, a workshop containing some alchemical equipment and books, and a control platform containing the consoles and the soul cores of the puppets.
Yashutia followed Yinshul out of the materials warehouse and headed towards the control platform. She looked at the slightly swaying leaf-green skirt in front of her and became a little curious.
She's been away from home for the past few days, and she doesn't know how far Yinxiuer and Latis's relationship has progressed. Why did they suddenly appear together in the wilderness, and with such a large palace?
However, Yashutia and Silverhuel were not particularly close, since she usually stayed in the alchemy workshop in the cave and rarely interacted with Silverhuel.
Now is actually a good opportunity...
Yashutia scratched her head. She really wanted to do something good for the families of these mages, but unfortunately, all she had ever thought about since she was a child was fighting and killing, and she didn't understand anything about this.
"By the way, Teacher Yin."
Yashutia quickened her pace slightly, approached Yinshuer, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"How is everyone under the monk's command?"
"Huh?" Silver Hugh paused, adjusted his glasses, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Everyone is doing well. We were stuffed with a ton of stuff when we went out these past two days."
