"coming?"

On the throne, the outline of the figure faintly sinking in the shadows still seemed a little blurry, and his voice was still hoarse, heavy and cold.

But the combination of various signs made the girl feel that... today's master seemed a little different from usual.

No, she didn't dare to think about it any more, because she felt that such speculation was disrespectful to her master.

"Yes, Master, I'm here."

Even after meeting the master, she immediately put aside the doubts that were still lingering in her mind before and no longer thought about why the master asked her to come alone.

And at this moment, the figure on the throne gently waved his hand, and the twelve tribesmen who were brought in first immediately seemed to have received some order, and they all walked to the side of the aisle and stood still one after another.

, no longer move at will.

The girl has discovered that these more than ten tribesmen are all individuals who have developed a certain degree of wisdom, but have no self-awareness like their former self.

Because he has no self, he only obeys orders. Even when he walks around, his steps feel rusty and stiff.

It must be said that every time the girl sees tribesmen like this, she will be more and more grateful for everything the master has given them. Without the master, she and her brother will definitely be like these tribesmen, like walking zombies, and there will never be a real life.

A day that means "alive".

Thinking of this, the girl's posture became more humble and respectful, and her head hung lower.

"Keep your head up."

Another word came from deep in the hall, which made the girl's neck stiffen, and then she slowly raised her head - her appearance was not beautiful, at least it certainly did not conform to traditional human aesthetics. But the living corpse was basically

In this way, the beauty of the past will not last until now, leaving only chapped and pale skin and even a damaged body.

She and her brother were already in good health. At least their bodies were still intact and no major mutations had occurred.

But she also knows that at most it's just not that weird, it's still ugly... It's a bit strange, the aesthetics of living corpses don't seem to be much different from humans.

Thinking that she was not very good-looking, the girl subconsciously shrank her neck again. Only because of the master's order, she just barely looked straight ahead and did not lower her head again.

Then a slight sigh sounded from deep in the hall.

"come on!"

When the girl heard this, she immediately took a step forward and walked quickly inside. She passed through the aisle, climbed the steps, and came to the throne. Then she stopped again and stood silently in front of her master.

Then the master spoke again.

"I know you will definitely have some doubts...or at least you have doubts as to why I only asked you to come here alone." His deep voice said softly, "Actually, the answer is very simple, because you are slightly stupider than your brother. So

Some, and stupid people...are always more lovable."

As soon as she finished speaking, before the girl had time to think about the meaning of this sentence, she saw the tall figure on the throne slowly stood up. A big hand gently touched the top of her head, and then before she could panic,

Then I heard the master say:

"Follow up."

This sentence was spoken to the girl, but also to the twelve living corpses below. As soon as he finished speaking, the master of the living corpses suddenly turned around and walked towards the back with long strides.

The first to react were the twelve tribesmen of His Highness, because they were not yet able to take the initiative to think about the problem. They just instinctively obeyed the order and walked inside together.

The girl, on the other hand, subconsciously touched her head and was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps and hurriedly caught up.

…

It was the first time for the girl to visit the former British Ministry of Magic building.

She did know that there was such a place in London, but the master had clearly told all the clansmen before that this was a forbidden area for their living zombie clan. No one was allowed to approach it without his order.

In fact, except for those tribesmen who have reached a certain standard of wisdom but have not yet opened themselves up, no high-level zombie like her has been allowed to come here.

Therefore, this is her first time here, and she is also the first living corpse among her kind to enter this forbidden place after possessing true wisdom.

To be honest, she felt a little nervous.

However, the master didn't seem to care about what she was thinking, and just led her and the twelve tribesmen forward step by step. They passed the messy front hall, walked through the messy atrium, and then took a ride on a

The magic elevator goes deep underground in silence.

There were thirteen living corpses standing in the elevator, as well as a tall demon, which seemed a bit crowded. The girl pushed away those members of the tribe who looked numb and stupid, and then she took a few steps away, reluctantly.

The owner has made some space in the hope that the owner can stand more comfortably.

However, the owner didn't seem to care much about such small things as whether to squeeze or not, but he didn't stop her from doing so. He just reached out and gently touched her head again.

To be honest, the girl felt a little uncomfortable with this rare intimacy from her master. She shrank her neck and suddenly became more stupid than the stupid tribesmen around her.

It wasn't until the elevator suddenly paused, and then the gate opened automatically, that she fell out together with the clan members who had been pushed unsteadily by her.

The master watched her fall down at the elevator door with those tribesmen. She didn't do anything else this time, but the girl felt that this was how it should be.

If the master suddenly made any move that he would never do normally...such as reaching out to give her a hand or something, that...would be so weird!

Seeing the girl and the dozen or so tribesmen getting up in a hurry, the Lord of the Living Corpses followed him out of the elevator and walked ahead again.

It's not this level, the place you want to go to is still deeper - the girl quickly followed.

After a while, the girl finally followed her master to the black circular room. Of course she had no idea that this was the former Department of Mysteries, the most mysterious and oldest place in the entire UK.

Then, the girl suddenly felt an energy that made her feel very kind...a little dangerous, but it made her feel warm and longing.

Just...behind that door.

The girl turned around subconsciously and looked towards a certain black wooden door.

"Master...have I...been here?"

"Of course," the Lord of the Living Corpses said calmly, "If you didn't come here, how could you have emotions, and how could you have a self?"

In fact, she had already guessed it without her master saying anything, because although the master said she was stupid, she was not really stupid. She was very smart, much smarter than many humans.
