"...Yes, yes, I must say that everyone did a good job this time. And I think this may be the real 'first time fighting side by side' between you humans and the zombie clan - in order to achieve mutual benefit.

Mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence will ensure that both parties can have a bright future, which is obviously a beginning worth looking forward to!"

Regarding this maritime battle, both the process and the result, the Lord of the Living Corpses was obviously very satisfied. So much so that from just now, he had been praising it non-stop, leaving others speechless.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the side door again that he finally paused for a moment, then turned and looked towards the door.

"I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

The first person to appear in everyone's field of vision was Sarah. When she saw the many pairs of eyes at the long table looking at her, she calmly apologized and showed a natural smile on her face.

"But you may have to wait a little longer, because Ron may still need a little time."

As she was saying this, everyone saw Hannah, who had said she was going to help before, also walked in behind her. However, Hannah was not as calm and leisurely as Sarah had shown. They discovered that including the Lord of Living Corpses and

The eyes of all the zombies were focused on the two of them, and they couldn't help feeling a little panicked. They subconsciously moved closer behind Sarah, who was smaller than her, and almost stepped on the heel of the other person's shoe.

"It doesn't matter," the Lord of the Living Corpses at the other end of the long table waved his hands, "Take your seats first! Just wait a little longer, there's nothing to be anxious about anyway..."

After saying that, he watched Sarah and Hannah also sit down next to Hermione and others. He had been standing there holding on to the back of the chair and talking before he also pulled out the chair and sat down firmly on the main seat.

Then, I saw him casually picking up the goblet filled with dark red wine in front of him, shaking it gently and saying:

"Where did you just say that? Oh, yes, although this is not the first time we have cooperated, this time is indeed a beginning that everyone is worth looking forward to... Well, for now, I am still the master of this place, so today

It’s up to me to offer a glass of wine to the victors of this battle!”

Having said this, he gently raised the wine glass in his hand, gestured towards Hermione and the others who were going out to fight this time, as well as the zombie clan members who were mostly sitting respectfully at the back half of the long table, and then said:

He tilted his neck and poured the full glass of wine into his mouth.

Almost at the same time he said these words, a group of high-level zombies participating in the battle stood up in a hurry, and then drank the contents of the cup.

The Lord of the Living Corpses looked at everyone here, put down the goblet and flicked it with one finger. Suddenly, with an ethereal and crisp sound of "ding", not only his empty glass, but also everyone present who had drank all the wine and drinks

Everyone's cup will be filled to the brim again.

And at this moment, another burst of footsteps came from the direction Sarah and the others came from. But this time, the footsteps were obviously much heavier and faster than their light steps...

...Listening to the "boom" sound that rapidly spread from far to near, one even wonders whether the visitor trampled the marble stairs in Buckingham Palace to pieces along the way.

"oh."

Sarah and Hannah at the table couldn't help but shook their heads after hearing this. They had obviously guessed what the scene was like outside at this moment.

However, it is worth mentioning that the master of living corpses in the main seat seemed to understand the situation quickly after hearing this. As the rapid and heavy footsteps approached, he rarely said with a smile:

"Remember to repair the floor and stairs later, otherwise you will easily trip your feet."

He was obviously talking to the Gemini girl next to him, but before the other party could respond respectfully as usual, everyone at the table heard the high-frequency steps "bang bang" that had clearly arrived outside the door.

After rubbing it for a few times, it failed to stop, and went further into the corridor like a gust of wind.

At that moment, almost everyone, who was attracted by the movement outside the side door, didn't notice that the eyebrow-less brows of the Living Corpse Lord, who had made a little joke just a moment ago, frowned slightly. Although it was quick.

He disappeared again, but John, who was a little absent-minded in his seat, looked at him out of the corner of his eye.

To be honest, it was not easy for John, who was a human and had not been with him for a short time, to distinguish the expression of the "Lord of the Living Corpses" not far away. But he could still detect that the other person was hearing footsteps outside.

After walking to the other side, his expression did seem to have changed slightly.

"What's over there?"

He had been walking around the palace almost every day recently, and he immediately began to recall what specific things were worth noting in that direction. However, after much deliberation, he could not figure out any results.

"Further back is the kitchen, and then... there are several warehouses and storage rooms, and then there is the door to the back garden, right? Then... is there anything outside?"

After John noticed the change in the expression of the Lord of the Living Corpses, he immediately looked away and looked in the direction of the side hall door with everyone, but he began to work hard to remember in his heart.

However, until everyone heard the "rumble" of footsteps returning in the corridor again, John still didn't have a clue in his head.

next moment……

"Boom...bang!"

Ron's figure appeared in everyone's eyes along with flying sawdust and stones - after all, he still couldn't walk in through the side door properly, but kicked the door frame violently, as if he was being dragged by his lower body.

He ran into the restaurant on his back.

"Stop!"

Sarah, who was sitting on the seat, had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before Ron was about to hit the other wall, she stretched out her fingers and gently swiped a few times to stop the pair of violent alchemical prosthetics.

After a few seconds of silence, Ron placed his feet on the ground and leaned back, as if he had finally regained his breath, and said with a pale face and a trembling voice:

"I thought... I had to run all the way to see Bill like I just did!"

"No," Sarah said calmly, "Even if the direction is correct, you will definitely drown on the bottom of the English Channel before then, and when you are dead, it will stop on its own."

"Hey! Don't look down on me so much. At least I can put a bubble spell on myself by then... uh... maybe?"

Even though his voice was still trembling, he still took advantage of Sarah's joke, and he didn't seem to scream out loud when he was running so fast before... It must be admitted that Ron, who lost his legs,

This time, not only did I not lose my spirit, but I also made great progress internally.

Everyone is moving forward, which is... good.
