Chapter 137 [Musician] and Valissa
In just a moment, the breath quickly arrived here.
The man did not try to hide his position, but exposed it openly.
He was standing on the wall nearby, looking coldly at the huge slime woman below who kowtowed to Caesar again and again. An unspeakable sadness emanated from him.
Seeing Caesar's eyes on him, he introduced himself:
"Lord Caesar, it's an honor to meet you." He touched his chest and bent over, keeping himself very low.
"I am one of the Black Fingers of the Black Death Cult, and my title is [Musician]."
He didn't seem to have any intention of taking action, and there was no murderous intent in him.
His entire body was covered in a black robe, with his arms and face exposed, revealing a metallic luster. It was a suit of armor with mysterious patterns, and two breathtaking rays of light shot out from behind the visor.
"Cultist?" Nellie became alert and hid behind Caesar. There was light flowing on her hands, and she was secretly casting a magic buff on Caesar.
"No need to be so vigilant. I don't mean any harm."
He raised his hands, empty, to indicate that he had no intention of taking action.
"What do you want to do here?" Caesar did not let down his guard against him because of his words.
The magic power in this guy's body is quite powerful, he is no ordinary person.
"I'm just here to take this guy back." He looked at the slime woman who was still kowtowing to Caesar, with a variety of emotions in his eyes.
Reluctance, sadness, anger, and sorrow, but his eyes couldn't fully display the proportion of his emotions like a pie chart, and Caesar had no way of understanding the meaning of his eyes.
Under the vigilant gazes of several people, he slowly walked towards the slime woman kneeling on the ground.
When she saw the person coming, although she had no facial features, one could see that there seemed to be a hint of surprise on her face.
“Wuwuaah.” She made meaningless sounds, pointed her finger at herself, then at Caesar, and it was unknown what she was saying.
There was a lot of mud and sand on the ground, and she knelt there and kowtowed, getting herself dirty.
[The musician] gently brushed off the sand and dust on her face.
"Oh, really?" The [Musician] seemed to understand what she was saying, and he replied gently.
Caesar was a little confused.
Seeing Caesar looking at her, the slime woman showed panic again and immediately continued to kowtow, looking very scared.
"Did you create this thing?" Nellie asked, "Don't you know that you are not allowed to study necromancy privately?!"
As for necromancy, after a trauma long ago, all races on the continent signed a treaty prohibiting the practice and research of this kind of magic.
"She..." The [Musician] hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "She is my wife."
"Your wife?" Nellie roughly understood what this meant.
Nellie frowned slightly, but still said, "You should know that the person brought back by performing this kind of magic is no longer your wife."
"Although she may have the same memories and habits, she is not the same person as your original wife. She is just a completely new individual made up of the fragments of your wife's soul."
Although what Nellie said was cruel, it was also true.
Life is changing all the time throughout its life. It is born, grows, develops, then ages, dies, and finally turns into a handful of earth.
It is like a ship sailing on the sea, and the changes in life are the replacement of the planks on the ship. The last ship had all its planks replaced, but it was still the same ship, because time and space have continuity.
But death is different. Death is like the ship breaking apart and turning into wooden planks scattered all over the ground.
The necromancy magic was used to reassemble a new boat with those scattered wooden planks. It was just because the original planks were used that it was somewhat similar to the original boat, but the two were no longer the same person.
"She's different." The Musician shook his head. "Valissa is different from those undead creatures. She is a living individual."
He put his hand under the slime woman's forehead, supported her head, and told her not to kowtow again.
"Wuwuaaaah." Upon seeing this, Valissa raised her head and stammered something, but it seemed that only the musician understood among the people present.
"I'm sorry, can you let us go?" The [Musician] asked, "This time, it happened because Valissa was too lonely, and she just wanted someone to accompany her. I didn't think highly of her, so I let her run away like this."
"I will take good care of her and this won't happen again."
He glanced at Bishe not far away and took out a bag of gold coins from under his black robe: "Here is a hundred gold coins. Consider it my apology to this lady. How about it?"
He was quite generous and without any hesitation, he threw the bag of gold coins directly towards Bishe, who subconsciously reached out to take it. The weight in her hand was so heavy that it made her feel a little unreal.
The gold coins of the Orn Empire are not big, only slightly larger than the thumb nail, but when one hundred gold coins are packed in a bag, the feeling of being heavy in the hand is real.
"This is not as simple as just making amends and apologizing, people from the Black Death Cult." Caesar said in a cold voice.
"I have only recently joined the Black Death Cult. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of you, Mr. Caesar. I just hope you can show some mercy and let me go." He was very humble. "I came to the capital as a mission given by the Cult. I have no intention of doing evil. I am just hiding here as ordered."
"Just because you haven't done evil recently doesn't mean you won't do evil in the future. What's more, you are also guilty of privately researching and using necromancy, and you can't escape the crime of desecrating corpses." Nellie said, hiding behind Caesar.
Caesar gestured to her that the guy in front of her was not simple and asked her to be careful.
"It's not too late for you to surrender now. Otherwise, I will let Caesar take action, and then it won't be so easy."
Nellie waved her little fist threateningly.
Her strategy is to close the door and release Caesar!
"It's useless for you to attack me now. What's here is not my real body, but just a puppet of mine." The [Musician] said in a deep voice: "Even if you attack me and kill me, I will only lose a puppet."
"As for Valissa, she has never done anything evil. She just doesn't understand what to do and what not to do. Her current state is no different from that of a child. Maybe she was wrong in this incident, but it's not a crime punishable by death, right?" [Musician] spread his hands and said, "I believe that Lord Caesar and Lady Saint will not do anything to her like this."
