Xu Jun's mood was not relaxed, not only because he learned about the birth of the Dark God Helle, but also because there seemed to be something else bothering him.

Roschinke's voice had disappeared, but his heartbeat was still pounding, as if he was having a stroke.

He put the bone bird back and rolled around on the bed again.

The bone bird may have felt annoyed. It was very dissatisfied with Xu Jun's practice of pulling it out when he needed it and stuffing it back when he didn't need it. It even pecked him.

The bird's beak was sharp and opened, rubbing on Xu Jun's fingers, which was slightly painful. Xu Jun looked at it in the moonlight. It turned out that in the bird's mouth, there were thin barbs on its small claws.

It was like a small saw.

But it was so small that it didn't pose any threat to Xu Jun. The little bone bird didn't seem to feel this, and it tilted its head and looked at Xu Jun proudly.

Xu Jun shook his head, took out some small jerky from his backpack, and stuffed it into the bone bird's mouth. The little thing knew what was good and bad. It swallowed the jerky into its stomach as soon as it raised its neck. Then Xu Jun saw its bones secreting something, which melted and absorbed the jerky.

This was a bone bird. If it was a bone dragon, it would probably be able to swallow a living person.

That would probably be a horror movie.

He thought blankly and raised his hand to let the bone bird fly. "Just fly in the house, go somewhere else. I can't protect you if you go out."

Although the bone bird had no brain, its IQ was not low, and it had no intention of flying out of the window.

Xu Jun said again, "When you're done playing, get into the leather bag yourself."

The bone bird giggled in response.

— — Of course, as a result, when Your Majesty The Demon King returned to the bedroom after basking in the sun, he saw a warrior in disheveled pajamas reflected in the crystal ball.

Xu Jun the Brave turned over, and the figure on the crystal ball was more broad-shouldered, long-legged, and buttocks.

The quilt was not properly covered, revealing his waistline. The scars were of different depths, making his skin look more resilient.

It made people want to take a bite.

Xu Jun didn't hear the strange roars of wild beasts in the garden that Irene had mentioned. He slept well for the rest of the night.

In the morning, Steamed Bun, Rance, and Cole went to play in the garden. He was still in bed, sleeping on his side with half his face buried in the pillow.

His golden hair was neither too long nor too short. It draped over his face, making him look messy like a young lion that had not been taken care of.

When he woke up, he always liked to smile. He smiled at everyone. Even when he was asleep, he still seemed a little imposing.

Wearing a full set of leather armor made his body look much smaller. It had to be said that this was partly due to his size.

Yesterday, when he came to the city lord's mansion, there were also maids who blushed at him, but they were mainly looking at Jess.

This morning, when the maid came in to tidy up the bed, she saw Xu Jun putting on his shirt in front of the mirror. His wheat-colored muscles were unhurriedly covered, and she was stunned.

Xu Jun turned around and saw two female servants with braids running out of the room. They even took away his pillow and quilt.

There was something mixed in with the quilt and the needles.

Xu Jun tidied himself up. The clothes in this world were really complicated. For a modern person who was used to wearing casual clothes, even if he had lived in this world for a few months, he still couldn't get dressed quickly. He often bunched up his cloak and wrapped it around his body.

Then he realized that the leather bag with the bone bird … seemed to have been taken away by the maids.

And his belt that added 5% to Dexterity and Master Level Wind Enchantment. _ (: 3,∠) _

Xu Jun immediately froze.

In the corner of the garden, the two maids were drying the quilt.

For the past two months, nothing good had happened in Mundama. Even the marriage of Emily and Mafkar half a month ago didn't make them happy. Everyone said that it was inauspicious to get married at this time, and it was better to wait until things were settled. But Mafkar wanted to get married when his and Emily's elderly parents were still alive.

"If you ask me, it's better to wait …"

"That's enough, don't say anymore."

The Black Plague didn't just take away life, it also took away vitality. There were originally seven maids in the city lord's mansion, responsible for cleaning and all kinds of chores. After the Black Plague came, two of them resigned and left. After Emily got married, she was also not in the mansion. Now there were only four maids in total.

The two young girls who ran out of Xu Jun's room also joined in the conversation. They secretly said that the young master and miss' new friend was really good-looking. Even the horse they brought was beautiful and strong. (Steamed Bun kicked his hooves on the side) This was the happiest conversation they had in two months.

No one noticed that when the girls ran halfway, something fell through the gap between the quilt and the pillow. It was Xu Jun's leather bag. It fell to the ground and rolled twice, finally stopping beside the big tree at the entrance of the warehouse.

Below was the cold storage, so the temperature was lower.

Xu Jun ran all the way down the stairs and finally found his precious leather bag. He reached out and touched it. The bone bird was still there, and he was relieved.

The bone bird, this little thing, didn't know what was good for it and just squeezed its head out.

"Go back!

Go back!

Naughty child! "Xu Jun stuffed it inside, but it stretched out a wing and pointed under the big tree.

"Okay, go back. Don't make trouble. People who don't know will think you're Sherlock Holmes."

I don't need you to point. I also know that there's a dead dog buried under the tree.

Finally, the leather bag was tied back to his waist. Xu Jun exhaled, thinking that it couldn't go on like this. The good bone bird couldn't even be exposed to the sun. Sooner or later, it would become osteoporosis.

"Wait, I'll make a cage for you sooner or later."

The bone bird chirped in a low voice.

Xu Jun quickly changed his words. "A golden cage."

Breakfast was still eaten together by the whole family. With the addition of his own guests, there was a sense of liveliness.

The mayor of Newport leaned on his crutches and said that he would go to the Illuminati Hall to pray and see how his speech was going. "There are a lot fewer people leaving the city these days. When things are over, I'll increase the welfare of these people!"

Irene laughed in spite of herself. "What kind of welfare can the mayor of a small free city give to his citizens?"

His father's crutches hit the ground again and again. "Mundama isn't a small free city!

Mundama's territory is considered large among the free cities in the south! "

Cole muttered, "Compared to the Golden Banner …" He didn't finish his sentence before his sister cut him off.

As soon as the mayor of Newport left, the atmosphere at the table changed.

Xu Jun asked Irene about the old dog Hani, and Irene told him in detail.

Newport's eldest son, Reid, was Irene and Cole's eldest brother. He was a bit like Ska's cousin, Kaspinder. They were both young talents and the hope of the whole family. However, it was said that Reid's temper was much better than Kaspinder's.

Kaspinder's deadpan face could scare a child to tears, while Reid was said to be a gentle and polite elder brother who would take the blame for his younger siblings when they got into trouble.

Of course, he wasn't completely good. For example, more than ten years ago, he wanted to take Irene, who was only eight or eight years old, and Cole, who was four or five years old, to the red-light district. At that time, Madam Cheng Zhu was still there and Reid was almost beaten to death.

Xu Jun couldn't help but praise when he heard about the past. Young people really knew how to have fun.

Hani was Reid's hunting dog. He had it since it was a puppy. By the time it was four or five years old, it had already become the best hunting dog in Mundama. Reid would take it with him every time he went hunting.

At that time, a rich family in the city bought a few fighting geese. Only Hani could fight against a flock of geese. The other young masters and young ladies' dogs looked impressive, but they really couldn't fight.

"The fighting geese are also very powerful." Xu Jun nodded. "Previously, when I was fighting against the Orcs in the Wasteland City, the city lord there raised a flock of fighting geese. It was said that they were even stronger than ordinary dogs."

Cole snorted. "But Hani is the most powerful."

"Hani died of old age. He lived for 15 years and held on with his last breath. We think he was thinking of his elder brother …"

After Reid died in battle, Irene and Cole didn't know how to hunt, so no one took Hani to the hunting ground anymore.

He was a hunting dog. He was supposed to die in the hunting ground, biting the hawks and old wolves, but in the end, he could only die of old age under a tree.

Xu Jun muttered, "I have a very rude request. Can the two of you let me dig up old Hani's grave and have a look?"

— — Well, for a hunting dog, the most unlucky thing was not being unable to go to the hunting ground for a lifetime, but having his grave dug up after he died. _ (: 3,∠) _

In the teachings of the Illuminati, disturbing the peace of the dead would affect the life of the dead in heaven. It was a very excessive act.

So, although Irene and Cole trusted Xu Jun very much, they couldn't help but frown now. "Why?"

Xu Jun told her about the slum man's transformation into an undead ghoul. Unlike the Bard, Xu Jun was straightforward when it came to these matters.

Suddenly, he remembered that the undead ghoul Marlow turned into had a hole in his stomach. He nodded and said, "It should be the Splicer among the evil spirits. This kind of thing is that after the bodies of humans and other animals are destroyed after death, they are reassembled …"

The companions at the table stared at Xu Jun with their mouths agape. Whether it was Ska, Irene or Cole, they had all heard stories about adventurers and mercenaries in school. They risked their lives and fought against all kinds of ferocious monsters. Their lives were always accompanied by blood and war songs.

They also often heard stories about the Paladins. As the swords of the Illuminati, they faced darkness and evil. Even when facing the disgusting undead, they were never afraid.

However, these were all stories told by teachers and books. After some exaggeration and sublimation, these stories had some beautiful fairy tales.

But now, Xu Jun was telling them in a very calm tone that a human man in the slums of Mundama City had turned into an undead ghoul yesterday. No one knew whether it was because of the Black Plague or some other reason.

The undead he turned into was a low-level evil spirit, a ghoul. At the same time, it was also a Splicer. The Splicer's characteristic was that it was made up of broken limbs. This already made Cole and the others feel scared. But Xu Jun continued calmly, "My friends, the Splicer reminded me of something.

After a life dies naturally, it can at most become an ordinary evil spirit. It won't become a Splicer.

A Splicer is a 'synthetic product', something that is artificially created. "

This kind of knowledge was a basic course in the academy for fighters, but it was very dry and boring. Most people would just drop it after learning it. For students, it was better to let them fight a few more battles.

But for Xu Jun, this kind of boring knowledge had saved him many times.

And it was very likely that it would save him and more people again.

Irene was frightened by Xu Jun's words. It took her a while to react. "So, Mr. Xu Jun, you suspect … that the sound I heard in the garden at night was made by Old Haney?

— — That means he might have been made, made into … "

"An undead," Xu Jun said.

The temperature in the hall turned cold.
