Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

"Kress, what did you say before that Jesc Horton hid something from us?"

"Yes."

In the not-so-spacious bedroom, Kress answered Dilly's question in a low voice.

"So, Kress, what do you think you're hiding?"

"Remember we went to the Jasc family castle together?"

"Of course, that castle like a steel monster made of black metal has left a lot of interesting memories in it..."

It was rare for Dilly to answer positively. Kress seemed to be a little thoughtful. After thinking for a while, Kress continued——

"There, in the huge warehouse in the center of the castle, there are hundreds of undead..."

"Undead?..."

Dilly repeated Kress's words in a low voice. Of course, she knew that there were undead ordered by Jesker Horton to capture.

After all, wasn't that the reason why Kress took the risk to go there in the first place?

only……

"Undead? A large number of undead...Could it be, Jeske Horton..."

While muttering and meditating, Dilly seemed to have suddenly thought of something. The beautiful and very charming Danfeng looked at Kress, as if asking for his opinion.

"It shouldn't go wrong..."

Kress's calm and rational voice responded to Dilly's question. Under Dilly's gaze, Kress slowly expressed the conjecture he had felt for a long time——

"...Jesc Horton, wants to establish a country and become king!"

……

In fact, when Kress sneaked into the Jesker family castle for the first time in order to find Yi Yali, this strange warehouse-like building with a seemingly sudden structure actually had a foundation long ago. In addition to imprisoning the undead, there are also traces of storing a large number of weapons. ...

Jeske Holden is an ambitious man who does not want to be under others for a long time, but also a politician with a lot of means.

He knew that blatantly collecting undead was a fatal mistake for many vigilant people.

but……

Jeske Horton can't seem to wait.

This is a strange phenomenon, as far as Jeske Horton is concerned, the latter is by no means impatient.

On the contrary, deliberate, deep-minded, extremely deep city, forbearing insidiousness, these are more like the interpretation of Jessic Horton's character.

However, the reality is like this, Jeske Horton took a stupid action, just using a few very thin excuses, that is, to offer a reward to capture the undead, a never-tiring labor force and warrior.

Maybe, it was Jeske Horton's own mistake, maybe it was some other reason.

But now, especially after Kress and Dilly deliberately caused the undead riot, Jeske Horton began to hold the most grand knight competition in the history of the Fritz Kingdom.

That knight tournament, on the surface, seemed to be a bloody competition between the nobles for entertainment, but in fact, it was Jeske Horton's attempt to make up for the lack of undead combat power in his hands.

Kress even believed with certainty that Jeske Horton had summoned a large number of necromancers who could control the undead, and might even possess some kind of high-level props that could control a large number of undead.

Especially at the dinner party invited by Jeske Holden that night, Kress and Lancer met the notorious necromancer Modal in the Kingdom of Fritz, which undoubtedly made Kress more convinced of his guess .

……

"Haug" tavern.

It was different from the low, tense atmosphere in Kress and Dilly's room.

Lancer, who has now taken off his armor and is wearing simple casual clothes, is sitting on his bed for "warrior training".

"Warrior Cultivation" is a boring and arduous long-term practice, especially after one's own strength reaches a certain level, the progress of a warrior's practice will become extremely slow.

This is something that all warriors will feel headaches, but it is also something that all warriors have no choice but to do.

This happens to even the most talented fighters.

The only difference is that those talented and hard-working fighters will suddenly feel enlightened after breaking through a certain realm.

Then the "Warrior's Cultivation" that will follow immediately will be like a broken bamboo.

And Lancer, the descendant of "one of the thirteen ancient heroes", belonged to the latter who possessed talent.

She is very proud!

Like a brave man dormant in hunger and cold, he only keeps moving forward for his own goal!

Lancer's father never liked her very much.

However, Lancer is conceited to prove with her own strength that she, even a woman, can become the best fighter!Never bear the name of a bloodthirsty berserker!

only……

Lancer, who had been concentrating on "warrior training", now finds it difficult to concentrate.

Lancer's forehead kept dripping with fine sweat...

She can't understand, why?
Why do I always think of Kress in my mind...

Kress in pitch-black armor, Kress in black brocade clothes, Kress facing him with a sword, Kress blocking the attack for him...

"It's all him..."

Lancer opened his eyes, his reddish-brown mid-length hair was already wet with sweat, and was tightly pressed against his forehead...

"...Because he beat me."

Lancer thought, it must be because he was defeated by Kress before that he was so interested in him!
It must be so!
"As long as I beat him next time, everything will go back to the way it was..."

Lancer murmured in a low voice, and there was obviously no one around, but she seemed to be telling someone, repeating it over and over again.

……

In Yayu City.

Western aristocratic area.

"Cold Iron" headquarters.

The faint radiance of the Philosopher's Stone accumulated little by little, and it actually radiated a strong radiance like the sun and the moon, completely illuminating the entire hall.

As the legendary "King Fritz's Saber", the "Cold Iron" mercenary group has power all over the corner of the kingdom.

The mercenaries of "Cold Iron" are privately considered by many nobles to be the shadow under the curtain of King Fritz's power, intending to trap all nobles in it...

Especially under the rule of King Fritz of this generation, in order to resist the invasion of the Perstan Empire and balance the threat of the six nobles internally, King Fritz gave "Cold Iron" the greatest degree of freedom and privilege.

And this huge and gorgeous palace, as if King Fritz himself lived in it, was actually specially given to Kieran Vader's "Cold Iron" as his headquarters.

Kieran Wade, with golden half-length curly hair, was currently wiping his close-fitting saber - "Frost" under a desk lamp made of a Sorcerer's Stone, with the help of the faint fluorescence.

The corner of Kieran Wade's mouth rose slightly, as if he had foreseen the future he planned...
