Chapter 313: Returning to the city
“Humph, don’t try that on me. I won’t let you go unless I receive a million gold coins!” Helen Tina was notorious throughout the seven grand duchies for her insidious schemes. Han Shuo’s naturally wouldn’t believe the words randomly spewing from her mouth. He looked coldly at Helen Tina and said, “The magic crystal cannons are made of many rare magic materials. I want to know if they are afraid of water.”
The first thing Helen Tina did upon waking up was look around, her eyes had taking notes of the group of zombie warriors surrounding the six magic crystal cannons at the river’s bank. She was only distracted because Han Shuo had postured he’d tainted her body. It angered her now that Han Shuo mentioned the magic crystal cannons again. She looked at him and shouted in fury, “Don’t expect to get any useful information from my mouth, you damnable bandit!”
“Bandit? Haha, your Helon Duchy is the true bandit. You’ve pillaged the Brettel City day and night for years. From a big city with hundreds of thousand people, it’s now a deserted city with dozens of thousand people. The people in the city have long since lost their hopes and dreams in life. It’s all thanks to you people. Yet you still have the face to say that I’m the bandit, haha!” Han Shuo recalled the miserable sight of people who lacked the clothes to cover their bodies and the food to fill their stomachs on his way to the Brettel City. His heart ached with grievances.
Helen Tina laughed heartily upon hearing his words. She coldly said, “Such is war. When your Lancelot Empire invaded us seven grand duchies in the past, didn’t you also burn and pillage us? If we hadn’t allied to resist and drive you back, I’m afraid that all of our people would have become slaves already.”
Helen Tina’s words also made sense. Han Shuo pondered for a bit and figured that he shouldn’t sink in further in this matter. Seeing Helen Tina unwilling to say anymore, he said in a cold voice, “It’s not like I can’t do anything just because you don’t say anything, just that I will waste a little more time. To a necromancer, costly manpower is never a problem.”
Han Shuo no longer cared about Helen Tina after speaking. He started to chant the incantation to summon the wood elite zombie.
Han Shuo issued a command when the wood elite zombie appeared. The latter uprooted the big trees one by one like he was the lord of this forest. The Demonslayer Edge then cut them into sections, with the wood elite zombie tying them together by soft branches. Han Shuo and the wood elite zombie had built six huge rafts after half an hour.
During this process, Helen Tina watched Han Shuo and the wood elite zombie closely while sneaking bread from her space ring. Perhaps she’d been hungry for too long as she swallowed the bread very quickly.
Upon completion, the zombie warriors pushed the rafts towards the river. Helen Tina finally couldn’t help but lamented, “No wonder the Church of Light wants to kill you. You can actually summon such miraculous undead creatures!”
Faulke and the soldiers had noticed the stunning, unconscious Helen Tina under Han Shuo’s arm from the start. Of course, they wouldn’t ask about the city lord’s private affairs. When they saw Han Shuo walked to the direction of the city lord’s mansion, these people’s thieving eyes ran over Helen Tina’s charming body several times over while chuckling wickedly in their hearts.
Therefore, after Han Shui had returned with Helen Tina back to the Brettel City that night, some rumors and gossip spread throughout the city. The people didn’t know of Helen Tina’s identity, but her beauty had made a deep impression on the soldiers. They were either admiring or jealous of Han Shuo, and so various rumors and evil speculations appeared.
Upon bringing Helen Tina to the city lord’s mansion, Han Shuo impatiently went straight to the secret chamber. He had sensed a distant call just a short while after he’d returned to the Brettel City. This call was weak and fragile as if it was a thousand mountains and seas away. However, Han Shuo’s consciousness at the separate demon realm could naturally perceive it.
It seemed that the fire elite zombie had finally emerged!
