What kind of demon king? Please call me the upgrade package of the goddess.

Oh, no, Aunt Sheila and Aunt Carol are.

But only two aunts were dressed to seem easier to bully, as the rest were not dressed like ordinary people. Lania was even wearing a conspicuous wizard robe. No one would stop a wizard unless they were blind.

Just like the settings in various fantasy games and novels, magicians are a relatively rare high-end profession in this world. The word "mage" is also applicable here, but its status is not to the extent that it directly crushes other professions.

But the guy in front of him is so stupid, either he is really stupid or he has someone to rely on, and something may have happened in the city, and the mage is the subject of a strict investigation.

If it is the latter, then the wizard with little strength might really be in trouble. After all, the wizards will investigate strictly, and even if he asks the Magicians Association to step in, he will have legitimate reasons.

But unfortunately, no matter if this guy was really mentally retarded or for some other reason, he was doomed afterwards.

Because, before the soldier could lead his men over with a menacing look, a layer of frost had already appeared under his feet when he finished speaking those words.

"Little Lania, your family is a noble family in this city, right?"

Tilana, whose good mood was disturbed, immediately showed a kind look and attacked the soldier with shifty eyes who was looking at her fiercely and obscenely.

As for why she asked whether Laniya was a noble, it was simply to save trouble. If a commoner dared to do something bad to a noble, there would be no problem in just killing him.

When the time comes, Lania can just reveal her identity to avoid being troubled by others. She is here to travel and doesn't want to reveal her identity every day to solve problems.

After receiving an affirmative answer from Laniya, the shifty-eyed soldier turned into an ice sculpture and then shattered into pieces.

This immediately caused a commotion among the other soldiers at the city gate.

Although they also hated that guy, he had a cousin who was the quartermaster of the city defense department. If he took his anger out on them because of this matter and made things difficult for them, their military pay would be in jeopardy.

However, before they could take any action, Tirana's magic fluctuations were too terrifying, which caused the magic monitoring alarms in the city to be awakened, and many powerful people in the city were alarmed.

Among them was Rania’s second uncle, who was the deputy commander of the city defense department.

Seeing that his niece was among the "invaders", the other party quickly stood up and asked Lania about the situation.

After some explanation, the misunderstanding was cleared up and they were allowed to enter the city.

As for the dead soldier? He's already dead, why are you still holding him accountable?

Chapter 179: Undead Disaster

"Uncle Nord, has something happened in the city? Why are the streets so deserted and all the shops closed?"

Walking on the street which should be very busy on normal days but today there were almost no people and even most of the shops were closed, Lania had a puzzled expression on her face.

Things were very abnormal at the city gate, and now that we have entered the city, there are even more abnormal things, which cannot help but make people curious.

It was broad daylight in the city, but it was as deserted as midnight. If it weren't for the occasional sight of one or two hurried pedestrians passing by, one would even suspect that this was a deserted city.

The middle-aged man walking beside Rania also had a very complicated expression. He did not look happy at all when he saw his niece who had "come back from the dead". Instead, he looked like he had something to say but did not dare to say it.

But after hearing what Laniya said, the middle-aged man sighed, looked at Laniya with a slightly sad face and said:

"Laniyya, before I explain this, I have a piece of news to tell you. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

"Ah? What's wrong, Uncle Nord? Is there something wrong at home?"

The middle-aged man's words made Laniya slightly stunned. She didn't expect the other party to suddenly say that.

Judging from the other person's expression, the news he was going to tell her was obviously not good news, and Laniya's expression changed.

"Something did happen..."

After a slight pause, the middle-aged man said in a sad tone:

"About a week ago, a large number of undead suddenly appeared in my home. Even some people in the family were inexplicably transformed into undead creatures, causing great chaos in the family. Although it was suppressed in the end, many members of the family died in that undead disaster."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Laniya suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

If it was just an ordinary death of a tribe member, her uncle would not have told her to be mentally prepared. If he had said that, it would mean...

Sure enough, the middle-aged man clenched his fists and said with red eyes:

"In that undead disaster, your father, your aunt, your cousin, and several other brothers and sisters also died at the hands of the undead. Your mother turned into an undead creature before the undead erupted. Your father died from your mother's sudden attack."

As the middle-aged man spoke, the uneasiness in Laniya's heart turned into reality, as if a bolt from the blue exploded in her mind, leaving her stunned on the spot.

The others were also confused. Aunt Sheila and Aunt Carol committed suicide before they arrived at Windmill Village. This time when they arrived in Cruze City, Lania's parents and family members were also dead. What the hell was going on?

Could it be that the will of the heavens discovered their identities as demon kings and fallen ones and punished them?

The will of the heavens shouldn't be so idle as to just stare at these little Karamis, right? !

You said that if a goddess fell, the Will of Heavens would give her a punishment worthy of her, but it would be a bit petty to pick on such small-time people as these, who are numerous in the universe, Miss Will of Heavens!

Of course, this was just Yuan's own criticism. As he himself said, the will of the heavens was not so idle. This situation could only be described as a coincidence, and they just happened to meet.

What's more, Aunt Sheila and Aunt Carol were rescued later. If it was really arranged by the will of the heavens, the bodies of the two aunts would have rotted by the time they arrived, leaving them no chance to save them.

Moreover, Yuan also has a golden destiny talent, which allows him to encounter events with a high probability of things developing in a good direction. The two aunts are examples. They were able to come back to life even after they died, and Yuan was able to eat the two aunts effortlessly, so this incident should have nothing to do with them.

Otherwise, with Yuan's talent, Laniya's parents should not have died so early. They have been dead for seven days now, and their bodies have probably been cremated. There is no chance of resurrection.

Just like this, Laniya will definitely be sad for a while.

Tsk, I can only find a way to comfort her at night and let her forget her sadness for a while.

Thinking of this, Yuan quietly walked forward and hugged the stunned wizard girl, gently stroking her long hair to comfort her.

Not long after, the girl's suppressed cry came out from Yuan's arms.

The middle-aged man glanced at Yuan, who obviously had an ambiguous relationship with his niece, and didn't say much. Although his niece was already engaged and they couldn't afford to offend the boy's family, this young man was obviously not an ordinary person. The magic fluctuations that erupted at the city gate before were definitely caused by a strong man above the gold rank. Their family couldn't afford to offend him either, and they had no ability to forcibly stop the two from dating.

Anyway, the academy has proved that his niece is "dead" and the man's family already knows it. As long as they don't publicize it everywhere, given the current environment in the city, they probably won't pay attention to the news that his niece is back alive. Once his niece leaves with this young man, even if the other party hears any news, they can directly deny it.

After Laniya cried for a while and calmed down a little, the middle-aged man continued to explain:

"After that, the city was filled with cases of the resurrection of the undead. Many people seemed to have been cursed and inexplicably turned into undead creatures, attacking the living. Until three days ago, when the Empire's support arrived, most of the undead in the city were suppressed. However, even now, the phenomenon of living people turning into undead still occurs from time to time. Therefore, most people in the city are in a state of panic. They dare not go out even during the day, for fear of encountering someone who suddenly turns into an undead, or of suddenly turning into an undead themselves. That is why the city of Cruz has become what it is now, like a dead city."

After explaining the current situation in the city, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Yuan and Laniya who were hugging each other, and reminded them softly:

"To prevent any accidents, after Laniya goes home to pay respects to her elder brother and sister-in-law, you should leave as soon as possible. Although some powerful people from the empire are looking for the cause of the undead disaster in the city, they have no clues yet. This place is not safe after all."

His words were a kind reminder, but also an attempt to urge them to leave quickly and not let Rania show up in the city too long. Otherwise, if anyone from Rania's fiancé's family saw them, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.

Yuan's forces may not be afraid of the other party, but they are not. Even their families are vassals of the other party. If they break off the engagement, the other party can easily control them, and there is no reason for outsiders to intervene.

However, things did not go as planned. When they arrived at Rania's family, people from Rania's fiancé's family also happened to be there.

Chapter 180: A joke from a big-time lich?

Lania's home is an aristocratic manor covering a large area. The most conspicuous building in the manor is a huge castle that is as magnificent as the palace where the princess lives in the animation. Even from a distance, you can feel a sense of luxury coming towards you.

Although Lania's family was only a baron, and a baron without their own exclusive territory, but compared with the castle of the small town baron, the castle of Lania's family was just like a mud house.

As expected, they are nobles of a commercial city. Even though their status and power are not as high as those of a small town baron, their income is absolutely overwhelming. Yuan even estimates that Laniya's family may be richer than some earls' families.

However, this manor, which should have been enviable, seemed a bit eerie, and there were many damaged buildings. The tallest and largest luxurious castle had collapsed by more than half. There were even some dry bones and broken corpses on the land in the manor that had not yet been cleaned up, emitting a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

If it weren't for the deep fantasy world, Yuan would probably have thought that this was some ancient building with haunted legends.

Even though she had learned the news from her uncle before and had cried to vent her emotions, Lania couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red when she saw the home she had been living in become what it is now.

"Uncle Nord, have you found my mother's body?"

Looking at the corpses of the undead creatures in the manor, Laniya thought of her mother who was turned into an undead creature, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed and shook his head slowly:

"The situation was too chaotic at the time, and no one paid attention to your mother's situation. We only know that she was transformed into a high-level Undead Knight. After killing your father, she mixed in with the undead creatures in the manor and attacked the people around her. When the undead were finally suppressed, it was impossible to identify which one of the several undead knights that were killed was your mother. In the end, because they suspected that a necromancer was at work and were afraid that the corpses of these undead knights would be used again, they were all concentrated and purified. So your mother..."

Maybe the ashes of Laniya's mother have now been mixed with several undead knights.

Although he knew it was not a good idea to think this way, after Yuan finished listening to the middle-aged man's story, this sentence popped up in his mind unconsciously.

However, I didn't expect that there was a being in this city that could suddenly turn a living person into an Undead Knight silently. Could it be that there is a powerful lich hiding here?

You know, a Death Knight is already a relatively high-level existence among undead creatures, and their general strength is at the gold level. If they are lucky enough to advance once more, they can become a supernatural creature, a Death Knight. If an ordinary necromancer wants to transform a person into a Death Knight, he needs to go through a very complicated ritual, plus a large amount of precious materials to successfully transform one.

But Laniya's mother was suddenly transformed silently, without even using a transformation ritual or magic circle. Although Yuan did not understand necromancy, anyone who could do this must at least be an extraordinary person, right?

It could even be a seven-star high-level extraordinary person.

The problem is that with such strength, they can easily launch a plague of undead to attack a country. There should be no need to cause trouble in such an unimportant city, and cover it up.

This is also what the senior officials and powerful people from outside support in Cruz City are wondering.

Although the overall quality of the undead creatures in Cruze City this time is not low, and there are even a large number of undead knights, there are no particularly powerful beings. There are many undead knights, but because there are many large chambers of commerce stationed there, there are actually quite a few gold-level powerhouses in Cruze City.

As long as they can hold out until external aid arrives, this undead disaster will not actually cause too serious casualties. Only when it suddenly appears in the early stage and the places that are caught off guard will have more serious casualties. When the defense forces and strong men of Cruz City reacted, the undead disaster was basically suppressed quickly. After all, these undead did not show up under command, but only attacked the living based on instinct. In the absence of a commander to integrate and organize them, the overall combat effectiveness of the undead creatures is really average.

After all, most undead creatures are brainless.

The current situation feels a bit like a certain necromancer or a powerful lich passed by Cruz City, was dissatisfied with the prosperity here, and was ready to use undead magic to mess up the city. Maybe after doing so, he would hide his merit and leave, so the city's top leaders are confused.

However, the empire must take the occurrence of an undead disaster in a commercial city with a large flow of people very seriously, and they have to work hard to find out the cause.

You can't report it as just an accident, right?

However, their headache had nothing to do with Yuan. He had a big backup by his side, so even if he really encountered a natural disaster of undead, he would definitely not die.

With Tirana's strength exceeding the upper limit of a small world, even if this world is completely occupied by the army of the undead, the place where she is will always be safe. It is not difficult for a dragon to slaughter a world, especially since she is good at dragon language magic. The saying that ants can kill elephants does not apply to her.

If she wants to run, no one can catch her; if she wants to kill, no one can escape.

So for now, Yuan should consider how to comfort Laniya.

Otherwise, why not have a special show with Laniya and fuck her until she forgets her sorrow and even faints?

Although the method is very cruel, Yuan thinks it should be the most effective one.

However, just as they followed Lania and the middle-aged man into the manor, they ran into another team.

The people in this team were all wearing luxurious clothes with family crests, and it was obvious that they were definitely nobles of some repute.

Yuan and the others didn't pay attention to each other, after all, they didn't know each other. However, after seeing each other, Laniya and the middle-aged man's expressions changed slightly.

Because these people are from the family of Rania's fiancée.

However, although Laniya's expression changed a little, she was not overly worried or guilty. She was now the Demon King's fluff ball, and her fiancé was just a change of pace when she was happy. There was no need to care about the other family's thoughts.

If the other party insists on pestering me, the worst that can happen is that I will find a chance to destroy him. Yuan now has the ability to do so.

But the middle-aged man was not so optimistic. His only thought now was to take Laniya away quickly and not let the other party see them.

But they say it's a head-on encounter, is it possible to avoid it?

Chapter 181: If you had a beautiful mother, maybe you could become a family

"Long time no see, Mr. Nord"

When they first met, the person on the other side greeted Lania's uncle very friendly.

Being stopped, Nord naturally took a step in front of Laniya with a stiff expression, and then while trying to block Laniya's figure, he forced a smile and responded to the young man who was leading the group:

"Haha, yes, long time no see, Master Wright."

This young man is the cousin of Lania's fiancé. Although he is not as good as her in status, he is also a very capable person. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the backbone of her family in the future.

Behind him were several young people, all of whom were descendants of important figures in the other family. Beside these young people were several young girls, all of whom were Rania's sisters.

It is not difficult to see that their arrival was due to a "blind date" arranged by the elders of the two families.

A disaster had just ended, and a lot of people in the other family must have died, so they were in urgent need of newborns to replenish the population.

But as a vassal, Laniya's family will definitely lose a group of people again.

But there is no way, after all they are vassals.

It is even possible that these selected girls were taken back just as tools to produce excellent offspring.

After all, the Lania family is aristocratic no matter what. The girls in the family are definitely better than most common girls in terms of appearance and talent. If they want excellent reproductive tools, it is naturally best to choose from the vassal nobles' homes. However, the status of these girls who are selected and taken back may not be comparable to that of the favored maids.

As for the status of the legal wife, even for a legitimate daughter like Laniya, it would probably take some means to get it by marrying her.

The identities, status, talents and looks of these girls in front of them are much inferior to those of Laniya. Judging from the attitude of these young people towards them, it is clear that they will be of no use after giving birth to children.

But at least they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, so Lania had no intention of "saving" these sisters in the tribe.

If there was a particularly good-looking Laniya, she might ask Yuan for help, but these girls' appearances were obviously not up to standard, so it was not worth Yuan's effort at all.

After exchanging a few polite words with the young man, Nord nervously wanted to find an excuse to leave quickly, hoping that they did not notice the presence of Lania in the team and were not discovered.

But given the quality of the girls around Yuan, is it possible that these young men would not pay attention?
