"...Yes, yes, I must say that everyone did a good job this time. And I think this may be the real 'first time fighting side by side' between you humans and the living zombies - for the sake of mutual benefit and peace. Getting along will ensure that both parties can have a bright future, which is obviously a beginning worth looking forward to!"
Regarding this maritime battle, the Lord of the Living Corpses was obviously very satisfied with both the process and the results. So much so that since just now, he has been praising him non-stop, leaving others speechless.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the side door again that he finally paused for a moment, then turned to look towards the door.
"I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting."
The first person to appear in everyone's field of vision was Sarah. When she saw the many pairs of eyes at the long table looking at her, she calmly apologized and showed a natural smile on her face.
"But you may have to wait a little longer, because Ron may still need a little time."
As she was saying this, everyone saw Hannah, who had said she was going to help before, also walked in behind her. However, Hannah was not as calm as Sarah. She found that the eyes of the living corpse master and all the living corpses were focused on them. She couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and subconsciously moved towards the person who was taller than her. For the petite Sarah, she got closer from behind and almost stepped on the heel of the other person's shoe.
"It doesn't matter," the Lord of the Living Corpses at the other end of the long table waved his hands, "Take your seat first! Just wait a little longer, there's nothing to be anxious about anyway..."
After saying that, he watched Sarah and Hannah go and sit down next to Hermione and others. He had been standing there holding on to the back of the chair and talking before he also pulled out the chair and sat down firmly on the main seat.
Then, I saw him casually picking up the goblet filled with dark red wine in front of him, shaking it gently and saying:
"Where did you just say that? Oh, yes, although this is not the first time we have cooperated, this time is indeed a beginning that everyone is worth looking forward to... Well, for now, I am still the owner of this place, so today It’s up to me to offer a toast to the victors of this battle!”
Having said this, he gently raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured towards Hermione and the other people who were going out to fight this time, as well as the zombie clan members who were mostly sitting respectfully in the back half of the long table, and then said: He tilted his neck and poured the full glass of wine into his mouth.
Almost at the same time he said these words, a group of high-level zombies participating in the battle stood up in a hurry, and then drank the contents of the cup.
The Lord of Living Corpses looked at everyone here, put down the goblet and flicked it with his fingers. Suddenly, with an ethereal and crisp sound of "ding", not only his empty glass, but also the glasses of everyone present who had finished their wine and drinks were filled again.
And at this moment, another burst of footsteps came from the direction where Sarah and the others came from. But this time, the steps were obviously much heavier and faster than their light steps... Listening to the rapid "boom" sound from far to near, one even suspected that the person coming along the way was. Didn't they stomp all the marble stairs in Buckingham Palace to pieces
"oh."
Sarah and Hannah at the table couldn't help but shook their heads after hearing this. They had obviously guessed what the scene was like outside at this moment.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Lord of the Living Corpses in the main seat seemed to understand the situation quickly after hearing the news. As the rapid and heavy footsteps approached, he rarely said with a smile:
"Remember to repair the floors and stairs soon, otherwise it will be easy to trip."
He was obviously talking to the Gemini girl next to him, but before the other party could respond respectfully as usual, everyone at the table heard the high-frequency steps "bang bang" that had clearly arrived outside the door. After rubbing for a few times, he failed to stop, and moved further into the corridor like a gust of wind.
At that moment, almost everyone, whose attention was attracted by the movement outside the side door, did not notice that the eyebrow-less brows of the Living Corpse Lord, who had made a little joke just a moment ago, frowned slightly. Although he quickly disappeared again, John, who was a little absent-minded in his seat, looked at him out of the corner of his eye.
To be honest, the expression of the "Lord of the Living Corpses" not far away was difficult for John, who was a human and had not been with him for a short time, to distinguish it. But he was still able to notice that after hearing the footsteps outside and moving away to the other side, the other party's expression seemed to have changed slightly.
"What's over there?"
He had been walking around the palace almost every day recently, and he immediately began to recall what was noteworthy about that direction. But after much deliberation, I couldn't figure out what the result would be.
"Further back is the kitchen, and then... there are several warehouses and storage rooms, and then there is the door to the back garden, right? Then... is there anything outside?"
After John noticed the change in the expression of the Lord of the Living Corpses, he immediately looked away and looked towards the side hall door with everyone, while he began to work hard to remember in his heart.
However, until everyone heard the "rumble" of footsteps returning in the corridor again, John still didn't have a clue in his head.
next moment…
"Boom... bang!"
Ron's figure appeared in everyone's eyes along with flying sawdust and stones - after all, he still failed to walk in through the side door properly, but kicked the door frame violently, as if he was being dragged by his lower body. He ran into the restaurant on his back.
"Stop!"
Sarah, who was sitting on the seat, had quick eyesight and quick hands. Just before Ron was about to hit the other wall, she stretched out her fingers and gently swiped a few times to stop the pair of violent alchemical prosthetics.
After a few seconds of silence, Ron, who put his feet on the ground and leaned back, seemed to have finally regained his breath, and said with a pale face and a trembling voice:
"I thought... I had to run all the way to see Bill like I just did!"
"No," Sarah said calmly, "Even if the direction is correct, you will definitely drown on the bottom of the English Channel before then, and when you are dead, it will stop on its own."
"Hey! Don't look down on me so much. At least I can put a bubble spell on myself or something like that... uh... maybe?"
Even though his voice was still trembling when he spoke, he still took part in Sarah's joke, and in addition, he didn't seem to scream out loud when he was running so fast... It must be admitted that Ron, who had lost his legs, was like this. Not only did Hui not lose his energy, but he also made great progress internally.
Everyone is moving forward, which is... good.
