Chapter 185: A cute undead
[Eva Mora Lv.123 HP:??? MP:???]
Her name was Eva Mora.
She displayed it to Alex on her own as he wouldn’t be able to read her information without particular skill or other means. That was the result of the level gap between them.
In this way, Alex also learned the soul grave-keeper’s surname.
However, he didn’t think about him. He had his daughter before himself, whose aim was unknown. Alex could tell she was pretty friendly toward him.
She wouldn’t have told Alex about her collaboration with Dollar if she wasn’t. She also wouldn’t have hurt him so that Alex could kill him.
[Curious Adventurer’s Necklace(Epic) – You can trace people’s footsteps as long as you have recent information.]
[+500 HP, 3% mana regeneration, 10 charisma, 340 STR]
Since Eva had been smiling at him, Alex peeked at the item the villain had dropped. The item was pretty good, and it had a particular skill for tracing back footsteps. Alex believed he would be able to use it wisely in the future.
He then glanced into the beautiful blue eyes, “This dungeon is a problem for forest fairies. If possible, I would like to seal it.”
Since Eva had told him some of her goals, Alex did the same. He didn’t know whether she would collaborate with him out of nowhere, particularly since their goals indeed didn’t align.
She parted her lips, “I’m interested in the monsters from the far past. I will take a few, then leave the rest to you.
They will come out one by one. If you issue a quest to all players, you will have them swarming the forest fairies’ capital. Yumia is also a one hundred level resident, so she can lead her people to get rid of them.
Unfortunately for you, Alexander, there’s no way to seal this dungeon. I will take the strongest monsters out of your way, though.” Eva smiled.
Alex sighed, “I get it.”
It was a new dungeon type, after all. If Eva had no knowledge about sealing the doors, then Alex and others from the outside couldn’t even think about it.
Of course, Alex and the forest fairies had around a week to prepare for the first clash. They could call players and even get help from other demi-human tribes, which was a great way of setting up new relationships.
Because of that, Alex thought positively about Remia and her race’s future.
And as he thought about bonding, Alex looked into Eva’s eyes. She kept smiling at him, curious about his next move.
Alex asked, “Are you also curious about the Undead?”
“Pops’ masterpiece?” Eva’s smile faded, her eyes looking far to the past, “I’m not fond of his Undead Masterpiece. It’s gross.”
“Huh?” Alex didn’t expect such an answer… He thought that this girl wanted to make the undead cute or something for a moment!
He narrowed his eyes, “Is there a cute Undead?”
Eva hugged her body, “Me?”
“…” Alex blinked his eyes.
Her bone tails moved up and down as if she was happy getting scrutinized by the opposite gender. As she hugged herself tighter, some of her tits spilled out, her legs bent slightly, and her pale skin reddened.
She had never called herself ‘A cute undead’, but Alex was a male that could help her with her goal; to become the Undead’s Masterpiece.
“Other than your bone tails, you don’t look like Undead, though,” Alex spoke softly, not trying to trigger a negative impression in Eva’s heart.
She didn’t mind his words, “I’m half-undead, just like pops. My bones, flesh, and soul have been nurtured by undead techniques. Those bones behind me are part of my strength; they are my style.
Don’t tell me you don’t find them cute?” Eva asked after winking.
At first, Alex didn’t know how to reply, but not saying anything would surely worsen their current peculiar relationship, “These look extraordinary.”
“Indeed,” Eva nodded, “You speak carefully, and you don’t waste your opportunities. There are still people dying outside, but you focus more on yourself and the people around you…
The winged girl, the forest fairies’ princess, and her mother; are all safe, so you don’t mind spending time with an unknown girl like me. Ah, I’m not so unfamiliar, am I not? I helped Dollar to open this dungeon, after all.” Eva dropped onto the sofa.
However, this time, her bone tails joined to form a one thick and strong tail. She wrapped it around her waist, patting the spot next to her.
She offered a room to talk with Alex.
And as that was Alex’s goal, he approached her, taking the seat next to her.
Eva leaned onto the side, supporting her little head with her left hand. Her eyes looked at Alex curiously, “You don’t think of me as your enemy?”
“You said it yourself,” Alex sighed, “I’m concerned about Remia the most… As much as I like everyone in the forest fairies, I’m not a hero who lives here. I am not someone who could save them all.
And… this dungeon could open at any time…” Alex whispered, knowing that he was just saying excuses.
He was selfish… Perhaps, he was too selfish. However, Eva’s existence was crucial to Deathwill Castle’s safety. Moreover, Alex knew how valuable Earth Soul Land was. He was in a position where he could leverage it to help his beloveds.
He didn’t want to lose it or start a war with the soul grave-keeper’s daughter in those lands. Since she was his daughter, she had probably a lot to say on the other side.
Alex didn’t know, however, that Eva had the whole control now due to her father’s matters in another world.
What he did wasn’t good for the forest fairies’ race, but he always prioritized those close to him. And that would stay the same… forever.
Alex had long since accepted that he was a hypocrite and selfish person.
Eva chuckled, “No gain satisfies a greedy mind…. If you end up being too greedy, your allies will slowly eat you as they no longer will think of themselves as your only ally. They will try to leverage you to the extent of their abilities and get as much as possible for themselves.
It’s all about business, Alexander,” Eva faintly laughed, “Let’s become business partners who overlook each other’s flaws and never step beyond business partners’ boundaries. How about it?”
Alex nodded.
