At a banquet, the total number of human wizards and high-level zombies totaled forty or fifty. Some of the zombies were really quite big, making the long dining table crowded. In this case, one more person is less.

A person is obviously inconspicuous. In addition, John had found a good excuse before leaving the table. At the moment, everyone was basically occupied with their own concerns, so not many people really cared whether he was present or not.

Speaking of which, this may be what John himself hopes for...well, at least that's what he must have thought before leaving.

However, after a trip to the back garden, the low-key mentality that I originally hoped to avoid being noticed by others...especially not being paid too much attention by the Lord of the Living Corpses, completely disappeared.

"Owner."

John returned to the restaurant under the leadership of the living corpse lady "Splicer". When the two appeared at the door of the side hall, the latter no longer paid attention to the male human behind him, and speeded up a bit.

He walked to the side of the long table and respectfully greeted the host who was sitting firmly at the head seat.

Not far away, the Lord of the Living Corpses first glanced at John, who was still slowly walking towards his original seat, and then waved his hand and said:

"Here you come? Sit down! You are the favorite food in the clan. There are a lot of good things today. Let's eat something together!"

"yes."

She responded, then walked to the end of the long table, found a seat where no one was sitting, and sat down silently.

In fact, the long table was still not very lively, or in fact, it had never been lively since John left. But after a while, the mood of Ginny and others also recovered a little, and everyone had already

We started chatting quietly again.

It's a pity that John was not familiar with them, and he was full of worries at the moment. Of course, it was impossible to chat with others. After a while, he seemed to have made up some determination, and suddenly turned his head to look at

Originally he was the one who was least willing to face the Lord of the Living Corpses.

"squeak--"

The movement of the chair legs sliding across the floor sounded a little harsh, which also caused Hermione and others to stop the conversation between them again, and turned to look at John, who stood up again.

come over.

"Your Excellency, according to what I have learned in the past few days, you are obviously the leader of this living zombie clan - I almost died in Colchester a few days ago. Thanks to Miss Bai Ye, I saved my life, so...

...No matter what, I want to borrow this glass of wine to express my gratitude to Miss Bai Ye."

John picked up the goblet and said these words with a serious face. Then without waiting for the Lord of the Living Corpses or Bai Ye to react, he put it to his mouth and tilted his neck to drink.

During the dinner, Bai Ye subconsciously glanced at the host first, and when she saw that the other party made no move, she retracted her fingers that had reached the cup.

John, who had put down his wine glass but was still standing there, seemed to have expected all this and showed no surprise.

In addition, Hermione and others present here have naturally noticed the motionless and noncommittal posture of the tall figure, but neither the Lord of the Living Corpses nor the John Stewart himself seemed to care, so they naturally chose

Let’s wait and see what happens before the main topic is revealed.

Then, everyone saw that John really spoke again.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for the past few days...including my behavior of wandering around the palace without permission just now. Although I have never found anyone watching me, I believe that you can still know all my actions these days.

.But since you allowed me to take these actions, I wonder if you can answer some of the questions I had while wandering here?"

The words gradually settled down, but there was still no other voice except John's in the already quiet restaurant. John stood in front of the table and waited for a moment. Seeing that the other party still didn't speak, he secretly gritted his teeth and continued directly.

:

"Since Your Excellency doesn't say anything, I'm bold enough to assume that Your Excellency agrees... I actually only have one question now - who is missing from the newly built cemetery in the backyard?"

After John asked this question, there was another ten seconds of dead silence. John did not move, just looking straight at the muscular figure at the end of the long table, his slightly pursed lips gradually turned white due to exertion.

.

Finally, he waited until the Lord of the Living Corpses spoke from the main seat.

"I thought you would ask me for the debt of those twenty lives first!" The tall figure said calmly.

On the other side, John shook his head after hearing this.

"Every one of them has been prepared to die here before setting foot on this land. Although this is not suitable for me to say, dying in the hands of a living corpse does not seem to be a problem.

It's not an accident - although I am sad, although... I hate it, but before that, I hope to know the current situation of the teammate who was as lucky as me to survive."

Are they the ones who should die? Of course not. John's words have clearly expressed his thoughts. He now wants to confirm where his companion who may still be alive is now? And whether everything is still fine.

The family mission is naturally important, but compared to the uncertainty and uncertainty of whether he can still complete the mission and return to the "workshop", he still hopes to see another team member besides himself or appear in front of him.

But not long after, John saw the master of living corpses raising his hand slightly and motioning towards the side of the long table.

"Let her answer the first half of this question for you!"

Following the other person's arm, John slowly looked at Sarah, who was sitting on the seat diagonally opposite him and looked like a little girl.

To be honest, Sarah's appearance is really special. If it were outside, John would probably not pay much attention to such a girl who is only in her early ten years at most. But here, except for those girls with different descriptions,

The most eye-catching existence besides the living corpse.

How could the person sitting on this long table be just an ordinary little girl?

"Miss?"

"My name is Sarah, Sarah von Hohenheim, maybe you know me." Sarah looked at the Lord of the Living Corpses on the main seat, and then at Hermione who was looking at her with a questioning look, haha

Li and others finally looked at John opposite and said, "As for those people in your 'Mason's Workshop', I did confirm their identities before. Of course, I can't call all your companions."

By name, I only know that there was a male wizard with blond hair, brown eyes, a medium build, wearing an old trench coat, and a gold chain that seemed to be a pocket watch hanging on his chest. He seemed to have left the street where you encountered the battle at the last moment.

, retreated into a certain alley - I didn't see where he went after that in the memory fragments of your companions, so I don't know more about the situation."
