Technician’s Manual

"...And cruel time negotiates with decay, to turn the days of your youth into dark nights. To love you, I will fight against time, and what it takes from you, I will rekindle."

​​

"Aso."

​​

The coffin bearer Harvey clasped his hands together, quietly watching the blazing white flames burn up the remains of the corpses floating on the sea.

​​

Fili hugged Ash and couldn't help sticking her head out to watch.

​​

In front of her, it was obvious that the necromancer was holding an evil funeral to deal with the corpse, but this black curly hair made her feel an inexplicable sense of holiness, as if she was sending away life and welcoming it.

​​

They flew all the way and experienced several battles, and Ash didn't shoot every time, leaving enough time for Igula, Harvey, and Vichy.

​​

Of course, Igula and Harvey don't need to get in touch with each other. After all, everyone is a partner who has bathed together. Ash mainly hopes that the demon maid can also participate in the battle sequence.

​​

To be honest, this is actually quite troublesome. After all, no matter how obedient and obedient Vichy is, she pesters Ash every day to punish her, but who would forget her other identity—killing is as natural as breathing, and the skinned skin is better than yours There are many clothes worn, the only bottom line is that there is no principle, the only principle is that there is no bottom line, as if the whole person is a mobile disaster composed of maliciousness, ghost prophet!

​​

The more obedient she is, the more fearful everyone is; her breathing alone is enough to make Ashe and others vigilant.

​​

Occasionally, when Vichy touches her hair, Ash's whole body becomes straight, and it feels like she is being licked by the monster's barbed tongue.

​​

Let Vichy take part in the battle, who wouldn't focus on this pink-haired maid?

​​

However, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations - I don't know if it was intentional or inevitable, but the demon maid actually took the initiative to take the vanguard tactical position, and every time she took the initiative to charge into the battle, wielding the flame halberd to fight against the virtual creatures.

​​

Of course, this is because Vichy has no other magic spirits at all, and can only rely on the power of knowing fire. But if she can't develop a long-range attack method, it would be too underestimating her legendary fire magic realm.

​​

Ghost Prophet took the initiative to charge forward and exposed his back. No matter how vigilant the deceiver and the necromancer were, they would gradually relax. Not only that, Vichy seemed to know the miracles of Igula and Harvey very well, and would often push the imaginary creatures away. To their best casting distance, the combat experience of the two is as comfortable as rice is delivered to their mouths.

​​

Ash originally hoped that Vichy could cooperate with Igula and Harvey, but after a few rounds, it almost became that Igula and Harvey cooperated with Vichy.

​​

The leader of the cult felt that this trend was very dangerous, so he asked Feili to do floating exercises in the sea, and pulled the fraudster aside to chat privately: "You are all being led away by Vichy!"

​​

"We can't do anything about it, her tactical level is indeed higher than ours." Igula spread her hands: "We will all benefit by cooperating with her. If we don't cooperate, we will make mistakes. What can I do?"

​​

Ash was a little anxious: "I'm worried that you will be seduced by her!"

​​

"I promise I'll be fine. Now I just have to work together. Don't worry about it."

​​

"Why don't you separate, I don't feel relieved when I see her with you."

​​

"This is a bit unreasonable for you. It is clear that fighting together is the most cost-effective option. Work is work, and feelings are feelings, we can tell them clearly."

​​

"Why am I so unreasonable?"

​​

"Because you don't believe me! Nothing happened, so you used your own imagination to suspect me!"

​​

"I'm just worried!"

​​

"We've been together for so long, why do you worry that I will betray you because of a woman who suddenly appeared? You just don't believe me!"

​​

"Hey, why are you arguing?" Vichy approached, and the tea said teasingly, "Isn't it okay just now?"

​​

Ash glared at her: "It's not because of you!"

​​

"I understand, master, you don't believe me, so you are worried that I will turn against your companion." The maid sighed: "I know that no matter what I do, I can't change your mind, master, but I don't want you to be because of me. Why don't you listen to my advice?"

​​

"you say."

​​

Vichy: "Mr. Igula, since the master is worried about us, I won't make eye contact or verbal communication with you even during the battle. This will certainly cause our cooperation efficiency to decrease, but the battle is only a trivial part of our life. There is no need to have a gap with your friends because of the battle."

​​

Yaxiu nodded again and again: "That's right, we don't have to fight often. Actually, you don't need to have a tacit cooperation at all!"

​​

Vichy: "When I go back, I wear more cloaks and other covering clothes, so that you can't form a familiar impression of me, and we maintain the relationship of strangers."

​​

Yaxiu nodded heavily: "Yes, yes, keep the relationship with strangers!"

​​

Vichy: "But this is still a cure for the symptoms, not the root cause. In order to eliminate the master's doubts, I should form a close relationship with the master at a negative distance, so that the master believes that my body and mind have been conquered by him."

​​

Ash waved his hand: "As long as your relationship gets better, I completely trust Igula, you and Harvey."

​​

Having said that, Ash stuck his tongue out at the demon maid, and went over to pick up Fili, who was swimming with wings in the sea.

​​

Vichy and Igula looked at each other, and the maid said depressedly, "This time I'm in a hurry, I almost succeeded."

​​

"Come on." "Aren't you afraid that Ashe will be charmed by me?"

​​

"First of all, your chain is in Ash's hands," the fraudster was grinding his nails, "and secondly, it's not certain who will seduce whom."

​​

Vichy smiled and said, "So confident? But with all due respect, the master has nothing to like, right?"

​​

"It's a coincidence." Igula shrugged, "Harvey and I thought the same thing before."*

​​

All in all, after a few battles, Harvey had a corpse that was accidentally eaten by a ichthyosaur.

​​

Although Zhanyulong paid the price for Lala Fat to cry, but the corpse was indeed chewed up beyond recovery.

​​

This was originally just a very normal consumption of props, and even the corpse was not considered a living person, just a projection like Phili, but Harvey had to stop to hold a funeral for him.

​​

"It's the first time I've seen you hold a funeral for a corpse." Ash said, "Obviously, we saw a lot of corpses along the way."

​​

"Because he's my family." Harvey said calmly: "I can ignore strangers, but I have to give due respect to my family - in fact, if we hadn't been running around, I'd be happy to deal with those unattended corpses. ."

​​

"Heirs of the Haagen-Dazs genre?" The maid's tone was a little subtle: "I thought that thousands of years later, there should be no inheritors of this genre."

Ash was a little strange: "Why? Isn't Haagen-Dazs a cultural symbol of the necromantic faction? A great existence like an ancestor..."

​​

"But it can't keep up with the development of the times," Vichy said. "There are two core tenets of the Haagen-Dazs school, "the dead should serve the living" and "the dead should be respected as the living". The former is fine. , but the latter... heh, we don't even respect the living, and we respect the dead?"

​​

"In my time, few necromancers still respected Haggadas, except..." Vichy paused, then suddenly asked, "Then do you still maintain the "Brazil Ritual"?"

​​

"It's the "homecoming ceremony." Harvey replied.

​​

When the others didn't understand what they were talking about, Harvey explained: "After the necromantic process of the corpse was done, I would bathe the corpse with my own hands, then carry the corpse across the brazier naked, place the corpse in the coffin, and chant "Aha", on behalf of the other party officially become my family."

​​

Feili asked curiously, "What's the point of this ceremony?"

​​

"If there is a real effect, maybe not." The necromancer said: "But for me, this ceremony means that the other party and I are family members who can cross the sea of ​​​​fire together. I usually treat each other with equal respect, and also when needed. We can use each other without any scruples, because we are a family that supports each other."

​​

"There is a reason for you to be included in the "Family List" of the weaving ceremony." Yaxiu said quietly, "I would like to call you the person with the most family sense."

​​

Igula commented: "Although I really want to say that your approach is very heart-warming, it is really curious."

​​

Vichy said: "But in my time, Haagen-Dazs magicians didn't have the habit of holding funerals for 'family'."

​​

"Because this is indeed a new tradition that has emerged in the new era." Harvey said: "A thousand years ago, a great necromancer who inherited the path of Haggadas appeared, and the "household ritual" she proposed has become necromancy. It is the etiquette that teachers must learn. However, only the last sentence of "Asu" is required for the set-up ceremony, and the previous paragraph is the elegy that Chikara taught me."

​​

Vichy applauded: "That is to say, the necromantic faction has not developed in the past few thousand years, but has gone backwards. It's great."

​​

Harvey glanced at the maid, but said nothing.

​​

"It's great to see that your relationship is not good, let's move on." Ash said, "The fog ahead is getting thicker and thicker."

​​

The deeper you go, the more frequent the appearance of the virtual creatures, and the stronger the combat effectiveness. It is too stupid to throw the mana waves in the fight with the fish and dragon mud fish and dragon. Unless they can't avoid it, they will It's all a little detour, skipping the battle directly.

​​

"Is it my illusion?" Igula suddenly said, "The creatures in the virtual world seem to be getting stronger and stronger."

​​

"Obviously, the further inwards you go, the more people the virtual creatures will eat, and the weaker they should be, but the magic resistance of the fish-killing dragon just now is stronger than that of the outermost one."

​​

Vichy said calmly: "This shows that there are opportunities in the fog that we don't understand, and unforeseen dangers."

​​

"Hey, it would be nice if we could drive these ethereal creatures outside, so we don't have to trouble ourselves."

​​

Fili was startled, "But, but people in other cities will suffer too."

​​

"The trouble is mine, and their life is theirs. Even if millions of people die, they are not worth the trouble I have encountered." The maid gave Ashura a wink, "right master?"

​​

Ash looked at the others, silently staying away from the Ghost Prophet.

​​

Vichy blinked and spread out his hands: "Well, the moral bottom line of the magicians of your era is a bit higher than I expected..."

​​

"Speaking of which," she turned to look at Ash: "Master, it's time to clarify our bottom line."

​​

"The bottom line?"

​​

"Should we **** the remains of the angel regardless of the danger, or should we retreat in time?" Vichy said seriously: "If it is the latter, we can prepare to leave now, because the strength of the virtual creatures is about to approach the three of us. human limit."

​​

"If a more powerful imaginary creature appears, only you and Miss Feili can solve it."

​​

Ash fell silent for a while. To be honest, they had no reason to take risks.

​​

They can even stay at home honestly, waiting for the source angel to fall completely, and Ruby Mountain will naturally lift the blockade.

​​

The reason why they participated in the angel hunt was one because of their greed for the source angel, and the other because of their resentment that they were trapped by the Master Fanxing.

​​

But the most important thing is that Ash wants to solve this problem by himself.

​​

Even if he didn't know Fanxing's situation, Yaxiu knew that Jian Ji and the witch were in a hurry. He hoped that they would not be in a hurry, but he couldn't even get the word out. He was really afraid that he would leave this time, and the sword princess and the witch would be for him. Did something amazing.

​​

Even if it's just to return to reality one day earlier, Ash can feel at ease one day earlier. Besides, Nia...

​​

"If you are in danger, you can go first, you don't need to worry about me." Ash said, "I can only guarantee the safety of myself and Fili."

​​

"Understood," said Igula, "I didn't expect you to want to see Jian Ji so much."

​​

"You know? Maybe I just wanted to grab food from Master Fanxing..."

​​

"Axiu, although we are friends," the fraudster sighed, "but the sour smell you give off when you miss your lover is really obvious and uncomfortable."

​​

Ash's expression couldn't hang anymore, he looked at Harvey: "Is it so obvious?" The necromancer blinked: "Ash, we are friends."

​​

"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention to it in the future... a fart!" Axiu grinned, "If you don't agree, you can also fall in love!"

​​

Harvey pondered: "It's not impossible..."

​​

Ash immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I was really wrong, Harvey, please don't fall in love with a corpse, we can't stand it."

​​

"Master," Vichy said quietly, "do you want to pay attention to your words and deeds? After all, you are still carrying a young girl, and your flamboyant remarks may make her feel uncomfortable..."

​​

"Ah, Phili, I'm sorry." Ash said, "I didn't mean to."

​​

"It's okay," Feili sniffed and whispered, "I'm actually pretty good, I really like the story of you and Jian Ji."

​​

"Really? That's right, in the sea of ​​knowledge, Jian Ji and I—"Boom!

​​

Between the electric light and flint, nine pitch-black giant shadows sprang out from the deep sea, slashing at everyone like a blade!
