I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

He asked Volken and other trading forces to put some pressure on Dolan Gureg, and agreed to lower the price of pyroxene exported to Pancrad in exchange for the treaty.

Through various political and economic means, Duke Gaidol succeeded in making Dolan Gureg turn a blind eye to Pyroxene Town.

"But soon, my master arrived," the birdman Onefix said, pointing at the cathedral outside the valley. "The Great White One descended upon a spider. The Duke went mad after witnessing the White One's birth. There are no detailed written records of this period, but the cathedral must have been built during this time. Perhaps my master's birth caused great chaos here."

"When I regained consciousness, the town was already full of transformed townspeople and spiders. Some houses had bonfires with spiral swords stuck in them, and those bonfires couldn't be removed."

"Sometimes, people in religious robes would come over and teach me something or ask me to worship. Although the whole town is very strange and there are not many living people, if I just want to survive, I can still survive."

After the birdman Onefix finished speaking, he drank some water to moisten his throat.

"Have you ever talked to the great white one?" Sun Yang and other birdmen Onifex asked after they finished explaining.

"No, the Great White One doesn't allow me to go deep into its lair. It has many believers busy at work, and even gathered those townspeople who had completely turned Harvey into zombies to perform religious ceremonies. Of course, it taught me skills, and I should be grateful to it. However, things have been a little different recently, which is why I'm looking for another place to live." The birdman Onefix added.

"I guess it's crazy?" Sun Yang said.

"Your guess is correct. Even a powerful lord like my own cannot resist the erosion of time. A spider is not a suitable carrier of souls. But so far, no one has been able to defeat it. To this day, it is known as one of the 'Four Giants' on the land of Dolan Gureg." The birdman Onefix turned to look at Sun Yang. "May I ask why you came here?"

"I want to defeat the four giants, and then see if I can find Andil." Sun Yang said lightly.

"Did you believe the rumors told by the green-clad half-dragon? I've never seen anyone capable of defeating the four giants," the birdman Onefix said with a hint of disdain. "Isn't this pushing people into a desperate situation? Killing the four giants, obtaining their enormous souls, and then presenting them to the king will solve the curse of the undead."

"What? A half-dragon in green? Are you talking about Rumi, the girl in green?" Rukatiye asked.

"That's a dragon's son created by humans. Because it's a dragon, it has an extremely long lifespan and can survive an era where the undead are spreading everywhere. It was created using the same technology as mine. It can live for hundreds of years without any problem." The birdman Onefix said it all without any concern.

"The curse of the undead... I also want to solve it. But things have to be done bit by bit." Rukatiye muttered to himself.

"As you wish, Rukatiye. Let me get back to the point. Anyway, Mr. Sun Yang, if you are sure you want to challenge me, I don't mind. But before that, can you take me to my workplace first? I can't bear to watch my boss die." The birdman Onefix took Sun Yang around the door and walked to a bungalow in the valley with ease.

"I will definitely send you there first. Do you not mind your master being killed?" Sun Yang finally asked a very crucial question.

"You may find it terrifying from your perspective, but I have been studying the secret method of my lord's reincarnation for who knows how long, and have performed the ritual countless times. Rather than letting my lord go crazy in that small body, it is better to liberate its soul." The birdman Onefix packed up the things in the house - there was nothing much to pack up, just some odds and ends.

"Then I understand. Ahem, anyway, there will be someone to guide you when you get there. Don't panic, everyone is a good person and won't hurt you, OK?" Sun Yang stretched his muscles.

"I'd like to ask you, how can you get me there? Is it a long walk?" The birdman Onefix packed his bag. "Should we prepare some food? Don't listen to that scorpion. I'm only drinking water because I have nothing to eat."

"Just relax." Sun Yang grabbed the birdman Onefix's wings and closed his eyes. He had done this several times before and was quite skilled at it.

"Gu? Wow————!" The birdman Onefix let out a long scream and was wrapped in Sun Yang's soul and sent directly to the oasis base.

"What did you do?" Rukatiye's eyes widened when she saw Sun Yang's actions. In her vision, Sun Yang simply touched the birdman Onifex, and then the birdman Onifex disappeared.

"Teleport~ I told you, I have a big base. Rukatiye, you will go in later, hehe." Sun Yang laughed like a bad guy.

"Stop messing around. Wasn't that Strade also teleported out by you? Please rest assured, as long as the job is done, I won't resist. You can ask me to beat anyone." Rukatiye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe~ I hope you won't be so scared that you jump around. Well, there seems to be a campfire nearby. I'll drag you over later, and we'll explore this Pyroxene Town together. I have a hunch that I can find materials here to enhance the combat effectiveness of humanoids. These are all dragon secretions. If they are added to weapons and polished well, they will definitely be damn good weapons." After Sun Yang finished speaking, he took Rukatiye around for a long time and found a campfire in a secluded place.

"This place is really hidden." Rukatiye looked around. This campfire was completely away from the Great Eagle Knights' base. Although she felt that the knights' soldiers had probably all turned into zombies.

"Who said it wasn't?" Sun Yang touched the campfire, but a not-so-familiar flame burst out.

"Huh?" Before Sun Yang could react, the campfire exploded. The mighty flames and immense impact sent both Sun Yang, who was standing nearby, and Rukatiye, who was observing from a distance, flying backwards.

"Eh! Eh! Enemy attack!" Sun Yang quickly rolled and crawled back a long distance. No matter what, he had to keep some distance first!

"Sun Yang! Stand behind me!" Rukatiye quickly adjusted her stance after being blown away, regaining her footing. She drew her greatsword, deftly applying a fragrant mucus to the blade, and assumed an impeccable fighting stance.

From the blazing flames, a twisted, decayed tree emerged. Its trunk was riddled with countless holes, and pale branches enveloped it. The tree stood approximately three meters tall, and its twisted form suggested the appearance of an aged face.

The bottom of the tree was still on fire, but the trunk and branches did not seem to be on fire at all.

The trees slowly moved above the flames, as if endowed with some kind of wisdom and life.

Rukatiye had never seen such a strange sight, nor had he ever seen such a strange creature.

A campfire is a campfire, and only undead people will appear next to the campfire. How can this messy-looking thing be an undead person?

While not a scholar with a deep understanding of the soul, Rukatiye possessed her own methods of exploring it. As she gazed upon the strange tree and fire before her, her body trembled uncontrollably. A deep-seated fear gripped her.

It was the terror of the unknown and the powerful. The soul of this thing before her was so vast, profound, and complex that it far exceeded the limits of her comprehension.

This feeling was like facing her imaginary god, or King Pancrad. Just standing there, the oppressive feeling was enough to make Rukatiye almost suffocate.

She moved her sword cautiously, not daring to act rashly. Whether it was the strange sense of oppression coming from the opponent or the overly unfamiliar and abstract appearance, she had to remain restrained. A rash move would not end well.

Observe, think, and counterattack. When facing a strong enemy, your brain is more useful than your hands and feet.

Just as she was thinking about how to respond to the next battle, a muddy and low voice came from the tree trunk in front of her.

"I never thought I could reach this point, Wandering Soul. I'm delighted by your strength!"

"Who the hell are you! Tell me your name!" Rukatiye could only roar to break through his own fear.

"My name is Andil, the seeker of original sin. I am from Rukatiya, the country of Miller. I have no will to fight." Andil spoke from this group of trees.

"How do you know my name?!" Rukatiye became even more alert now.

"An? Andil? What the hell did you say? You fucking, fucking..." Sun Yang stuttered. He slapped himself in the face to calm himself down. "You fucking Andil? How did you appear here?!"

"I have escaped the cycle of reincarnation and can travel between campfires. This body is the result of that," Andil responded calmly.

"Holy crap! Strade! Come out and see... Damn, why is he traveling at this hour?" Sun Yang rubbed his chin nervously. He had originally thought this big shot would only show up after the four giants were defeated, so why was he here earlier?!

288 Andil

If we were to rank the Dark Souls series in terms of combat power, leaving aside Gwyn, the remaining characters would likely be in a fierce battle. But when it comes to their contributions to the world, the top two are undisputed and beyond debate.

The first one is naturally Gwyn, the first firebender who sacrificed his life for justice, and the second one is Andir.

Andil, the absolute soul of Dark Souls 2, is arguably the strongest magician and researcher in the entire series. Even the White Dragon Sith is probably no match for him.

Once upon a time, Dolan Gureg was a powerful nation. King Pancrad, possessing immense spiritual power, ruled the kingdom. His brother Andir was a brilliant, yet eccentric, scientist.

As we all know, when the flames die, the dark spirits rise and the plague of undeath breaks out. Dolan Gureg, like all failing dynasties throughout history, must deal with the curse of undeath.

Thus, Pancrad and Andil joined forces to study how to break the curse of the undead. One wielded immense power, commanding an invincible army, and sought the materials and knowledge needed for Andil. The other, with his own talents, devoted himself to the study of the mystery.

Finally, Andil successfully mastered the ability to manipulate souls, but the souls needed to continue the experiment were too large.

But on the other hand, Pancrad went on a great expedition. He went to the kingdom of giants and obtained a "Giant Resonance" from there after several bloody battles.

Giants are not tall creatures, but are just brute force. In the world of Dark Souls 2, Giants are tree-like creatures.

After a giant dies, he transforms into a tree, and the tree bears fruit, from which new giants are born. This implies a special cycle of life and death: the death of a giant is not the end, but a new beginning.

The resonance of the giants is an extremely important treasure of this tribe. Although Sun Yang couldn't remember exactly what ecological tribe the giants belonged to, this resonance could, to a certain extent, command and direct the actions of some giants.

It feels like the Protoss have been relying on the Khala to communicate with each other. The resonance of this giant is the light of the Khala. After Pankrad took it away, it became particularly difficult for the giants to communicate.

After this, the giants launched a counterattack against Dolan Gureg - and that battle took place in the Giant's Fall Forest, on the huge coastal fortress. (See the first volume)

But before the giants counterattacked, Andil had already begun to use the giants' resonance to make a large number of puppets. At the same time, he smelted and twisted the giants' souls and stuffed them into the body of an ancient dragon to resurrect it.

This is a terrifying, outrageous technology.

For example, if a person dies, Andil can kill a pig and put the pig's soul into the person's body.

After it was stuffed in, what was revived was not the pig's consciousness or soul, but the mind and memory of the original owner of this body.

It is as if the pig's soul is the engine and fuel, and Andil uses a special method to summon the human consciousness back and send it back into the body.

Sun Yang didn't know how Andil communicated with the ancient dragon, but he always got a magical item called "Gray Mist Core". This item can transcend time and return to the world of the deceased.

It is with the help of this magical prop that Andil continues to travel to various places in the past, collecting and studying the lost ancient magical knowledge and research results.

After receiving assistance from magic masters from different eras in the past, Andil naturally became a great wizard who was proficient in all magical knowledge.

He was the first to discover the theory of parallel worlds, and it was he who developed a method of using mirrors to travel to different parallel worlds. Later in his research, he even created something as bizarre as the Campfire Explorer.

Because the Campfire Explorer is an item that can distort time and space within the range of the campfire and reach other parallel worlds. Sun Yang got a lot of Campfire Explorers, but he only used them as fuel to travel to other worlds.

If Sun Yang was really asked to throw something into the campfire to fill it with fuel, he wouldn't have the guts to do it. The chaotic space-time environment of the entire Dark Souls world is inseparable from the campfire and the spiral sword. It's best not to throw anything into it unless necessary.

Don't mess with things you don't understand, especially when it comes to your life and property. Even the most creative person wouldn't try to tinker with a computer or a car engine without knowing anything about it.

In short, during this research process, Andil established a relationship with the white dragon Sith - of course, that was when the giant spider jumped out and took over the entire Pyroxene Town.

Relying on the artificial biotechnology and reincarnation technology developed by the White Dragon Sith, Andil transformed himself into a tree-like existence.

Because giants have the ability to transcend the cycle of life and death, and after Andil changed himself into this horrible appearance, there is no risk of him becoming a zombie.

He can even see the past, wandering between countless parallel worlds, pondering how to save the undead and solve the world's problems.

In short, Andil is the strongest wizard who is so awesome that he has no friends and all the undead are trembling with fear at whatever he does.

"So, so, ahem, okay, I know you know a lot, so who are you looking for? Me or... Rukatiye?" Sun Yang tried to calm down. He quickly sent a message to the people in Oasis. This was a top-level emergency; everyone should stop what they were doing and wait for Sun Yang's call.

It would be a miracle if he wasn't nervous. He might have been the one lighting campfires all over the world. How could he not be careful when dealing with this existence that is equivalent to being a GM of half the world?

"Sun Yang, you're not that nervous... Don't be so scared." Seeing that Sun Yang, who was always calm and did nothing but pranks, started to feel uneasy, Rukatiye became a little scared herself.

Help, what is it like when your regular big brother starts to become timid? - BY Rukatiye

"Although Knight Miller's soul is powerful, it is not special and is not enough to shake the cycle of reincarnation. However, Sun Yang, I see new hope in you." Andil's voice, distorted by the flames, came again.

"Okay, okay, you, tell me what you want to say." Sun Yang was still timid. Unlike Rukatiye, he was clueless. Sun Yang knew too well how powerful Andil was, so he didn't dare to play any tricks on him.

"Wandering soul, do you want to break the curse?" Andil asked.

"What a weird question. I definitely hope to solve the problem of the undead curse. But to be honest, it's still good to stay awake, immortal and powerful." Sun Yang nodded repeatedly.

"Challenging the trial is the destined mission of the wandering soul. Apart from giving up everything and destroying your mind, there are two paths for you to choose from, wandering soul. Inherit the principles of this world, or destroy them. And the only one who can lead the way forward is the true king." Andil's voice came from the flames.

"I think choosing between the two is a bit..." Sun Yang was about to say something when he was interrupted by Andil.

"But this choice does not belong to you, wandering soul Sun Yang. You have the ability to transcend the world, and your soul does not belong to this world. You are not bound by this world, you have the power to travel through other worlds, you are a 'traveler', a person who travels through the world." Andil said very accurately.

So this Andil discovered that I had run off to the world of Advanced Warfare and Fallout? Well, I'm not surprised that he discovered me.

I can only say that it's a blessing that this guy didn't realize that I was a ghost... Am I a ghost or a body? Never mind, I'm not too entangled in this. I'm lucky to be alive and well.

Come to think of it, Strade had once said a theory that powerful magical or psychic beings could interfere with inter-world teleportation to a certain extent. Could it be that his being sent to the radiation world was related to this Andil?

Sun Yang thought about it for a while and sorted out his thoughts.

"Before we begin our conversation, I have two questions. First, how do you know I can travel across worlds? I'll ask the second question after you answer me."

"Although I can see countless pasts, I am ultimately trapped in this Dolan Gureg. But I am no longer human, and I can only observe a thick barrier. I am unable to break through it. My body has taken root in this land and cannot be separated. But you, Sun Yang, I saw you break the barrier and go to the outside world. With this, I have the opportunity to observe the world outside the boundary." Andil explained in detail.

Rukatiye couldn't keep up with the train of thought of both sides, so he could only quietly lower the tip of his sword and wait for the development of the situation.

"So you knew it from the beginning? When did you start observing?" Sun Yang frowned.

"I didn't observe you. Before you showed the power to travel through the world, you were just one of the countless living beings. But after you returned, I was able to observe you for a short time. If your power is too weak, I will arrange for those with weak bodies but strong souls to feed you." Andil said.

Hmm? Think about it, the worlds I've been to so far: The Last of Us, Advanced Warfare, and Fallout. Andil should have started observing it after returning from The Last of Us.

During that time, it seemed like I had made a deal with a farmer who was a nobody and had the word "suspicious" written all over his body. Then I pushed the progress a little bit and met with Rukatiye.

Then he immediately rushed to the Advanced Warfare World, which lasted for a long time.

Also, what Andil said about feeding... It's really weird. Who on earth would say such a thing openly? Sun Yang touched his chin.

When Rukatiye heard the word "feed", he subconsciously glanced at Sun Yang who was thinking hard.

"Forget about feeding me. I don't like being constrained. Hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine. Well, the second question is, once when I tried to return to this world, I was blown away by a strange force. Do you know what the reason was? You just said that you have the ability to observe the world outside?" Sun Yang asked the question that he had always been concerned about.

"That's because of me. I deeply apologize for this." Although Andil said this, there was no hint of apology in his tone.

"...Can you explain it in detail? No, wait, talk to my external brain." Sun Yang took out a holographic camera from his pocket and connected to the Oasis research team that had been leading the team.

There is no need to hide these techniques. The opponent noticed that I can teleport a long time ago, and my biggest trump card has been seen. It seems that there is no point in hiding these techniques.

So Pascal and her research team looked at the huge rotten tree projected over there nervously.

"I have seen your amazing skills. You have mastered very unique soul techniques. Nowadays, you can also be respected as a master." Andil saw Sun Yang commanding the humanoids to kill everyone in Liuyou Valley.

Afterwards, Andil and Pascal discussed a bunch of very mysterious technologies and theoretical assumptions. Although the two sides had some contradictions in their views and some deviations in their understanding.

But after all, Pascal had seen how Strade did research, and they had also cooperated to advance the theory of world travel - although it was all hypothetical, after all, the actual operator Sun Yang didn't run many times.

However, this also allowed Pascal to understand what was going on in the minds of researchers in the Dark Souls world.

Strade is an ultimate antique, and although Andil is younger than Strade, he has also lived for a very long time, so he can also be considered an antique.

So there was unexpectedly not much of a barrier in the communication between the two sides.
