Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

In the spacious church of Fritz Kingdom, Kress on the stairs met Kieran Vader's eyes at the corner of the hall...

Time goes back again.

In fact, after suppressing the "Jesker Rebellion", Kress became a nobleman of the Kingdom of Fritz from an ordinary adventurer star.

Then came Zhao Yekong, the chief illusionist of the Eastern Empire, who invaded Yayu City in the Kingdom of Fritz in order to find the remains of the former [King of the Undead] Dak Auri.

At the moment of extreme crisis, the steel-level adventurer team [Dawn], its captain Kress, his teammates Lancer, Dilly, and the new captain of the royal guard Li Yiluo, under the cover of many adventurers and royal guards, made an assault. Next, they had a final showdown with the intruder Zhao Yekong.

Finally lived up to expectations, Kress made an absolute victory.

However, it was beyond Kress's imagination——

Zhao Yekong chose to cooperate with Kress in private.

Back and forth.

This is Zhao Yekong's usual trick. No one would have thought that an existence that had just been repelled would return to the enemy camp again after a while.

This is extremely dangerous behavior...

But sometimes, the more dangerous things are, the safer they are.

The bright and cold moonlight, like a layer of hoarfrost, scattered on the dome of the West Chamber of the West Hall of the Fritz Palace.

Zhao Yekong was dressed in red and black oriental brocade clothes, like a peerless clan son.

"You came."

Zhao Yekong's voice carried a distinct uninhibited air, and his silver hair fluttered gently with the night breeze.

For a while, it looked extraordinarily elegant.

And the person who responded to Zhao Yekong's words was Kress, the hero of the Fritz Kingdom and one of the few stainless steel-level adventurers.

"I didn't expect that you would come back."

There was a hint of indifference in Kress's words. Although he didn't expect it when he said it, it seemed that he had already expected it.

With that said, Kress continued to add——

"... You know, everyone in this city wants to tear you to pieces!"

"Of course, it is true."

Zhao Yekong did not comment on Kress' words, nor did he deny them in any way.

This Yayu City, as the largest city in the Fritz Kingdom, has now suffered two huge threats and turmoil in a row.

For Kress, these two great upheavals made him a hero in the kingdom of Fritz.

But for other residents of Yayu City, these two huge turmoil made it difficult for them to continue to live.

Even though the Fritz royal family represented by Rubia Fritz carried out many temporary measures for disaster relief and compensation for civilians, and gave great grace to the residents of Yayu City, these are still far from enough.

The vast majority of human beings whose families were destroyed in the turmoil will undoubtedly direct their anger towards the original source of these two turmoils - Jeske Horton and Zhao Yekong.

Jeske Horton is dead now, but his guilt is unforgivable.

The Jeske family will replace Jeske Horton and bear the wrath of the Fritz royal family and the common people of Yayu City!

As for Zhao Yekong, he and the savior-like existence Kress are evenly tied...

At least that's what some people in the know think.

In the official notice released by the Fritz royal family, it is stated that Kress, the hero's stainless steel-level adventurer and captain of [Dawn], relied on absolute strength to suppress Zhao Yekong and other [Phantom Demons], and succeeded. Rescue Yayu City from the hands of demons.

Most of the people in Yayu City believed in this.

It was also at this moment that the prestige of [Dawn], the Adventurer's Guild, and the Fritz royal family reached an unprecedented height...

At the same time, one is ebbing and the other is ebbing and flowing, and the aristocratic forces that hinder and limit the power of the royal family are in a slump.

The anger of the people engulfed them. Of course, the source of this anger came from the demon illusionist——Zhao Yekong!

It is not an exaggeration for the people of Yayu City to say that Zhao Yekong's corpse was broken into thousands of pieces.

Zhao Yekong naturally knew this too.

It's just...he doesn't care.

"Lion, why do you care about the thoughts of ants?"

Zhao Yekong thought so, then turned around and walked slowly towards Kress who was standing with a sword.

A breeze blows.

Zhao Yekong's silver hair fluttered in the breeze.

"...Your Excellency Kress, I came to you to continue our agreement."

While Zhao Yekong was speaking, he was already within a few feet of Kress.

That calm, bloodthirsty, crazy male voice is just like Zhao Yekong's style of acting, which is elusive.

Kress heard what Zhao Yekong said, and the face created by the illusion twitched slightly, as if showing a smile.

But I don't know why, but it always seems a little ironic.

But Zhao Yekong didn't care about Kress' actions at all, because he knew that the other party could not refuse his conditions...

"Sir Kress, don't forget, the agreement between you and me, I have already promised the benefits you need."

"Master Zhao, don't worry."

Kress finally began to respond positively to Zhao Yekong's words.

It was a beautiful sound like a cello gently playing, and it was so pleasant to the ears, as if it had a kind of magical power...

"...Since I have promised you, I will naturally not go back on my word."

"So, the best!"

Zhao Yekong walked directly through the gap after Kress's words, and hurriedly continued——

"Then, my cheap little sister, Zhao Yeling, will be temporarily entrusted to His Excellency Kress to take care of her."

Zhao Yekong said, with his back to the moonlight and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

But Kress vaguely sensed——

It was a maniacal grin full of bloodthirsty excitement for what was to come!
……

Time goes back to the present.

Palace of the Fritz Palace.

The midday sun in early winter enveloped the entire Fritz Palace in warmth, and even the fountain on the Palace Square, which seemed to have been frosted the day before, thawed and spewed again at this moment.

In the most central city of Yayu City, the bell of the most important tall tower is ringing...

Just like the first [Royal Engagement] that brought long-term peace and stability to the Fritz Kingdom many years ago, thirteen bells resounded throughout Yayu City.

Nobles of all levels in the Kingdom of Fritz, without exception, have been waiting in the palace for a long time.

In today's Fritz Kingdom, there is no longer a struggle between the noble faction and the royal power faction. After the "Jesker Rebellion", the strength of the noble faction has fallen, and countless nobles have been implicated because they stood on the wrong team.

Even the [Six Great Nobles of the Kingdom] who were once well-known in the Fritz Kingdom have all become subordinates of the Fritz Royal Family at this time.

The remaining low-ranking nobles in remote and small places naturally have no way to cause any obstruction to the Fritz royal family.
