The Forbidden Magical Laws of the Fallen Princess

Moreover, these things have no feelings and are not afraid of pain. Unless their hearts are driven through with a stake or their skulls are destroyed, such as by beheading or blunt force trauma to the brain, they will not die.

Really, this is a very scary existence.

The outbreak of the living dead is not unheard of in this world. As early as over a hundred years ago, there seemed to be a case where the undead controlled the living dead.

But it was contained in advance, so no particularly large losses were caused.

But the handling at that time was also extremely cruel. Yes, the entire town, including the living and the undead, was burned to death.

However, this time it happened in the Beginning Country. We can't just give up on such a big city-state and burn it all down...

That is absolutely impossible...

"But... Princess, there's nothing wrong with what you said... From such a deep hole, plus the fact that it was able to crawl out, and it's about the same size as a human... If I'm not mistaken, it's definitely the living dead."

At this time, a fat man, who should be the ambassador of national defense, couldn't help but pick up his handkerchief and wiped his forehead in a panic, and said in a panic.

However, this immediately caused an uproar, because if this was the case, the Country of the Beginning was really facing the biggest crisis.

"The strange thing is that these holes are empty. We have dug 50 or 60 of them and have not found any traces of the living dead. If there really are living dead, where did they go!!!"

At this time, a bearded nobleman who seemed to be unconvinced stood up and retorted in a very exaggerated manner.

This is true. There are at least hundreds of earth holes, and there should be at least hundreds of living dead people. However, these people seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, if so many zombies were really walking on the street, they would be easily discovered by passing patrolling soldiers.

"Yeah, this is too weird."

The person sitting at this time couldn't help but respond quickly.

"The corpse carrier."

However, at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and then Otowa appeared directly behind me, and stood straight behind me with his eyes closed, and then said directly.

"You actually said it was a corpse delivery man?!!!"

I don't know why everyone exclaimed when they heard this.

"And this corpse carrier shouldn't be human, right? Then how did he get into our Beginning Country?!"

In an instant, the bearded nobleman stood up from his seat again, and this time, his expression was very unnatural and very frightened.

"Well..."

At this time, Otowa seemed to be in a very difficult situation. Perhaps she didn't know what would happen next.

“There are at least two possibilities.”

However, at this time, Elena stood up from her seat and said calmly.

"Oh? Tell me about it, Princess Elena."

At this time, my father, Emperor Yi, was not at all flustered. He looked at Elena with a smile on his face.

Because he didn't know what kind of heir Elena was to the Kingdom of Adra, this was a good opportunity to test her.

"One of them was sneaking into the royal city from the city wall when the Demon King's army was attacking the city."

"That's impossible. We have sealed off the city walls tightly. Not only can't a corpse deliverer get in, but even a fly can't get in. So the possibility of this happening is zero!"

At this time, a general guarding the city wall also responded quickly.

"Well, there is only one possibility, that is, we have a traitor in the Demon King's Army, and he is helping the Demon King's Army to do things."

At this time, Elena ignored all the nobles and generals, and did not care that she was an outsider, and replied directly.

"Huh? Little girl, I see you are the princess of our friendly country, so I have been reluctant to say anything to you. How dare you frame one of us? Do you want to tear us apart?"

Sure enough, the bearded nobleman became furious in an instant and roared again.

"Oh? Viscount Finnock, you're reacting so strongly, are you hiding something?"

At this moment, a noble with long golden hair sitting opposite him couldn't help but put his hand on his chin and directly refuted the bearded Viscount Finnock.

"Count Papillon, please don't frame a good person. I am loyal to our country, and it is clear to all."

"Oh, who knows how much oil and water you have hidden in your stomach."

"you……"

"Okay, okay..."

Seeing the quarrel at this time, my father, Emperor Yi, could not help but dissuade them helplessly, because if they came back and started a quarrel again, it would be a loss of face for the nobles.

What's more, I am still here and this is my first time to attend a political hearing.

Although this is a collective discussion hearing.

"In this case, this matter still needs to be investigated. Therefore, starting from today, the city gates will be closed, and people are not allowed to go out as much as possible. Then I will personally send people to search for traces of the living dead from house to house. Once found, they will be dealt with seriously."

"learn!"

However, the meeting was decided in this way, and my father, Emperor Yi, trusted Elena and me very much, because after all, one is the princess of King Edela, and the other is my precious daughter.

After the meeting, my father kept me, Elena, Xiaobai and Lila, while Otowa stood beside me and looked at us without moving.

"My dear daughter, there is something that needs to be investigated thoroughly by you and your friends, okay?"

At this time my father said something meaningful.

"No problem, father."

"Okay, from now on, the entire royal city, including the church, will be left to you to investigate, because I don't feel comfortable leaving it to anyone else."

"Ah, no problem. Father will leave it to us."

Really, we are all very powerful now, and I am one of the Four Gods, so it is really good to let me investigate. After all, no one here can defeat me.

Just like that, I will completely take over the mission from my father Emperor Yi and will officially start the search from tomorrow.

Chapter 53 Searching the Castle of the Beginning Kingdom

However, the royal city of the Kingdom of the Beginning is so large that it is indeed difficult to find any clues about the corpse deliverer.

What’s more, I’m afraid that someone might have a secret tunnel or a secret room in their home, which would make it even more difficult to find.

Just when all of us returned to our rooms, feeling a little depressed about what to do, I suddenly heard a "knock knock knock" sound coming from outside my door.

"Please come in."

At this time, I hurriedly said.

However, at this time, the little werewolf loli Angelize came in with a pile of clean clothes in her hands.

At first, he might have been happy to see me because he had just been away from home, but he didn't expect that when he saw my sad face, his brows instantly frowned.

"What happened, Princess?"

At this time, Angelize put down the clothes in her hands, then hurriedly walked up to me and asked.

And I just expressed my distress directly, because I really didn't know where to start with this matter.

"Your Highness, do you mean there is no clue at all..."

At this time, Angelize couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Yeah, even if I enter the noble's room to search, I'm afraid there might be a secret room there. Wouldn't it be useless then?"

"Indeed... But if you mean the smell of a corpse, I can smell it."

"What? Anjie, you can smell a dead body???"

I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard this, because with the Gray Wolf God's sense of smell, as long as there is the slightest smell of a corpse, it will not escape their noses. Therefore, if Angelize really has the ability to distinguish the smell of the dead and the living dead, then we have completely solved this crisis.

"Well, I've participated in quite a few reconnaissance missions, and I've also been on a few missions to find mutant corpses. Therefore, as long as there's even the slightest trace of a smell in a room, even if it's hidden in a secret room, I can smell it."

At this time, Angelize nodded quickly in response.

"Wow, that's great. Then Anjie, we will start the mission tomorrow. You must smell it carefully."

"Yes, with pleasure."

At this time, Angelize was shaking her gray wolf tail, and she seemed very happy too.

The next morning, according to the intelligence, there were about thirty more earth pits across the country, and there were nearly two hundred earth pits in an instant.

If more of them gather, it would be quite dangerous. Therefore, we must put an end to all this now, find the murderer as soon as possible, and eliminate these living dead.

Once the number of them gathers to a particularly large extent, the entire Kingdom of the Beginning will really begin to disintegrate from within.

At this time, we quickly finished our breakfast in the morning, and then began to search the castle of the Kingdom of the Beginning room by room.

Since the castle is inhabited by eunuchs from the Kingdom of the Beginning, investigation is very convenient and they are all very cooperative.

Naturally, within a day's time, almost every corner had been investigated, and there was no smell of a dead body.

That would prove that the entire castle of the Beginning Country is completely clear of suspicion.

The next step is... to start checking the nobles' mansions around the royal castle.

However, I was busy from morning till night today, and I did not eat or drink a sip of water during the investigation. It was really tiring. If I had known earlier, I would have only taken over the royal castle of the Kingdom of the Beginning, and left the rest to the investigators.

Alas, I really don’t want to be the investigator this time, because... it’s too tiring.

So today after dinner we all went back to our room to rest.

If I really calculate now, I have walked at least 40,000 or 50,000 steps today.

It was precisely because some princes of the castle were not in the room that I had to wander back and forth.

Alas, they indeed did not obey the orders of my father, Emperor Yi...they were not allowed to go out at will.

Maybe they had something very urgent to do and went out for a while. Fortunately, when we arrived, the princes and nobles in the castle had all returned.

That night, the entire royal city was extremely quiet, and the wind blowing from the window somehow felt eerie and chilling.

Could it be that the corpse carriers and the living dead are taking action again?

However, it was pitch dark at night and nothing could be seen, so it was better to go to sleep quietly. Tomorrow, we would leave the royal castle and start checking every house where the nobles lived. If we found the so-called corpse deliverer, we would show no mercy to him. If he begged for mercy, we would arrest him and burn down his house along with these zombies. If he dared to resist, we would kill them all.

Because I now possess the most powerful flame in the world, the Samadhi True Fire, I don’t believe there is anyone that I can’t burn to death.

The next morning, after we had breakfast, left the castle and walked out the gate, we found that there was a lot of noise outside, which was very strange.

When we went out to ask, we found out that almost everyone present said they had seen their deceased relatives.

Including father, mother, grandfather and so on.

However, they just stood outside the window for a while with expressionless faces, and disappeared without saying anything.

Just when everyone thought it was a dream and didn't take it seriously, they discovered early in the morning that the cemeteries where their relatives were buried, as well as the remains of their relatives buried in the backyards of some villagers outside the city, were all gone.

And similarly, there appeared earth holes of similar size to the previous ones, all of which were dug out from the inside.

What’s even more terrifying is that in the heavily guarded royal tombs of the Kingdom of Yishi, almost all the corpses in the tombs have disappeared.

According to statistics, at least thousands of bodies disappeared overnight.

My goodness, that's nearly a thousand bodies. Could it be that there really was a traitor in our royal city meeting who found out that we were going to start searching house by house and thus brought forward the originally slow plan?

However, this is enough to prove that the next traitor is among the nobles heading out of the city, and it is very likely that he will directly launch a siege plan of the living dead.

However, this is not called the Zombie Siege Plan... This is the Plan for the Living Dead to "devour" the Beginning Country.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder and feel creepy, because it is really too terrifying.

Therefore, we must speed up the search now and not let go of any nobles outside the royal city. We must bring this traitor to justice and restore peace to my homeland.

Alas, I feel like my task is really heavy...

Chapter 54: A Strange Mansion

Next, we began to search the mansions of nobles outside the city one by one. The positions of these nobles were much lower than mine. Not only did they invite us in to cooperate with the search, they also gave us a lot of snacks and candies...

Good man, even though I am a child, no, I am an adult, but don’t treat me like a child (〃＞皿＜) Damn it.

However, these snacks and candies looked very high-end, and I didn’t know where they came from, so... I had no choice but to accept one or two pieces.

I didn't collect much, because as the saying goes, if you take something from someone else, you will feel guilty, and if you eat something from someone else, you will feel soft-hearted.

However, at this moment, Angelize seemed to smell a strange smell and instantly became alert.

Angelize said there was a faint smell of rotting corpse here. Although 90% of it was covered up by various perfumes, Angelize could still smell this 10%.
