"...Dinner hasn't started yet? Well, it seems it's not too late for me to come back."

The familiar voice, which was hoarse and seemed to have a metallic texture, sounded from the direction of the main entrance of the restaurant. As the hall door slowly opened, it entered the hall and reached the ears of everyone in the restaurant... or "inhumans"

.

Then, the tall dark figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Owner!"

The living corpse girl, one of the twins, was the first to speak. For her who infinitely worshiped her master, it was obvious that she did not need any thinking at this moment. And closely followed was Bai Ye, who also had no distracting thoughts. The two of them

He immediately put down what he was doing and rushed forward.

However, except for the two of them, most of the other high-level living corpses present only had a brief meal, and then stood up from the table one after another, paying the highest respect to the owner who appeared at the door with silent attention.

.

On the other hand, John, Hermione and others did not take any immediate action when they saw the other party appearing. They just cast their sights in the direction of the main entrance one after another, as if they were distracted by their own thoughts for a while.

"Master, come and see! Do these things Bai Ye made look good? I heard Miss Lovegood say last time that banquets are probably like this. Master, see if you like it..."

Bai Ye obviously enjoyed the feeling of personally preparing for everyone's dinner. Of course, it would be even better if he could be praised by the host in the end.

"Yes, this looks beautiful, you did a great job-"

The Lord of the Living Corpses, who had just walked in, looked around, then stretched out his hand to caress the head of Bai Ye who came forward, and gave him a gentle praise.

After Bai Ye stood aside with a satisfied look on his face, he glanced towards the long table again, and gave a slight nod to John and Hermione who were sitting together.

"Congratulations, you have successfully eliminated another demon this time, and escaped unscathed - this is obviously not an easy task, thank you for your hard work. I asked them to collect some good food, so there is no need for it this time.

Now that you’re done, just relax and enjoy it for a while!”

After he said this, his eyes lightly passed over Hermione and others, and then he paused and said:

"Um...Miss Hohenheim and Mr. Weasley haven't come down yet? Oh, and that...Miss Hannah Abbott?"

"Hannah went to assist Sarah and help Ron make the final adjustments." Neville explained briefly at the long table, but then he shut up again.

To be honest, not only Neville, but Hermione and others still don't quite understand how they should get along with this "Lord of the Living Corpses". Even though the two parties have already had several smooth cooperations, but

When I think about it... In short, there are still too many "ambiguities" between the two parties, so there is no way it will become this delicate state.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Living Corpses seemed not to care about this subtle atmosphere from beginning to end. After hearing Neville's explanation, he quickly nodded and said easily and naturally:

"Bai Ye, go and inform the three of them that the dinner is about to start. If you don't want to miss tonight's appetizers, you'd better come down as soon as possible."

"Okay, Master, I'll call them down right now."

Seeing the living corpse girl next to him walking out of the side door with brisk steps, he nodded again with interest and said:

"Her temperament is becoming more and more lively and cheerful. She has changed a lot in the past few days!"

"Yes," the Gemini girl who followed him immediately replied seriously, "Bai Ye works very hard in his studies and makes rapid progress."

"This is a good sign." The Lord of the Living Corpses said, reaching out and patting her on the head. "You also did a good job. In the past few days, you have selected two more evolved ones in the 'cradle'.

I have already seen the tribesmen at the highest level, and they are all of good quality."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master. I will keep your instructions in mind and will not forget them even for a second." She twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard this and quickly lowered her head and said.

"Relax and take your time. You still have a lot of time, so there's no need to rush."

As soon as the Lord of the Living Corpses said this, he had already walked around one side of the long table and walked to the other end slowly. However, he did not sit down immediately, but stood there casually.

Master Zhang sat back, thought for a while and said:

"Since everyone hasn't gathered yet, let's talk about this battle first! Although I know the general situation, the details are not very clear. Moreover, I think Mr. Stewart should also want to know more.

For a moment... Oh, maybe I should be the one to introduce him. This Mr. John Stewart seems to be from the country on the other side of the sea. This time... although it doesn't count as being invited by me! But it still counts.

It has something to do with me - everyone has the same goal, which is to end this unnecessary disaster and dispute, so it would be good to exchange information here."

As soon as he said these words, Hermione and others were just confused, but John's eyes were shocked - what does it mean? What does "it has something to do with me"? Is he obeying the boss of the workshop this time, or

It was said that he was ordered to step into this dead land to perform an investigation mission under the call of a family mission. How could it be related to the master of living corpses in front of him? Why didn't he know?

However, he still maintained enough sense and knew that it was best not to expose anything easily in this situation, so he swallowed the question that was about to burst out of his throat back into his stomach.

On the other side, the Lord of the Living Corpses seemed not to notice his unnaturalness at all, and still looked at the people at the table calmly, waiting for Hermione and others to speak.

Hermione didn't keep him waiting long, although she was actually a little concerned about the words the other party mentioned about John at this time, but after a brief pause, she put aside her confusion for the time being.

"This battle is as difficult as the last time. If Safina hadn't tried her best to break out one after another, at least I would definitely not be sitting here now... But compared to us, I think... you are the one who contributed the most this time.

Those subordinates. Without them desperately trying to hold back the demon in the sea, no one can say what the outcome would have been."

"After all, you are in the water, so it's no wonder that you can't exert your full strength." The Lord of the Living Corpses waved his hands and said, "As for them - I remember what I said, they are not my subordinates.

'! If I have to say it, I just helped them out!"

"Owner……"

The girl on the side was about to speak, but was stopped by the tall figure with his hand. In the end, she was unable to say anything.
