Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

"K, Ray, S..."

Yi Yali murmured to herself word by word. Along the way, she had experienced this situation many times——

Kress's name was silently chanted in his mouth.

"how?"

Kress responded to Yi Yali.

In fact, when Yi Yali talked to herself for the first time, Kress had already asked it, but Yi Yali didn't directly answer Kress's question at that time.

"Haha, nothing."

"Oh, that's fine."

Seeing that Kress agreed so straightforwardly, Yi Yali couldn't help herself.

"Mr. Kress, is 'Kress' your full name?"

After hearing Yi Yali's question, Kress thought for a while, and then affirmed——

"Yes."

"Oh? I originally thought that you would be a human aristocrat during your lifetime. Now it seems that it shouldn't be..."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because the names of human nobles are very long, but Mr. Kress, your name seems a bit too short."

"wrong."

Kress denied Yi Yali's answer, and Yi Yali showed a surprised expression for a moment, thinking that there would be great gains.

"...I want to ask, why do you think I'm a human noble?"

"Oh……"

It seemed that it didn't match what she had expected, and Yi Yali seemed a little unhappy, but she still actively answered Kress's question...

"Because, according to Mr. Kress' body shape...no, it's a bone shape, which is basically fixed in the human race. Moreover, Mr. Kress has not yet reached the hero realm, but he can already use the common language and recognize Many human words, these, point to the extraordinaryness of Mr. Kress during his lifetime. Moreover, it is said that human nobles will have a way to preserve their knowledge and wisdom after death. Although I don’t know what method, but I think, and Kress The current situation of Mr. Reis should be similar."

"You're right, it makes sense..."

Kress responded to Yi Yali's words, "Actually, even myself, I don't seem to remember much about what happened during my lifetime..."

Kress said, and then began to recall his previous life in another world, the impression became more and more blurred...

"Mr. Kress, you know that the undead also have a way to return to their former appearance..."

Yi Yali suddenly covered the sunlight on her forehead with one hand while speaking lightly, feeling completely different from before.

"...Or, Mr. Kress, do you want to regain your previous human appearance?"

"Back to human?"

Kress repeated Yi Yali's words, "Is it using illusion? Like the silver-haired man in the catacomb, he can change his appearance."

"Not exactly..."

Yi Yali seemed to have other meanings, but she didn't say much in the end.

Now Kress doesn't care about his skeleton body anymore.

Instead he enjoys it...

This kind of body that doesn't feel hunger, sleepiness, or even fear is very suitable for him...

"Mr. Kress, we are about to arrive at Hesmoor City!"

Just as Kress was deep in thought, Yi Yali's gentle and sunny girlish voice brought him back to reality from his memories.

Hesmoor City.

Founded east of the Kaz Plains.

A city located on the border between the kingdom and the empire, within the sphere of influence of the kingdom's noble faction.

This is also the only way for Chris and Yi Yali to go to the kingdom of elves.

"Mr. Kress, you can't fool the guards of Hesmu City like this, how about this..."

Yi Yali stepped forward a few steps, came to Kress's side, and whispered——

"...I'll sneak into Hesmu City first and help Mr. Kress buy a pair of full-body armor, so that it won't be easy to be discovered."

According to Yi Yali, in the human kingdom of this world, apart from the royal family and nobles, the most respected are knights and high-level adventurers...

As for knights or adventurers wearing armor, ordinary guards would never force them to take off their helmets.

This is their respect for adventurers and knights...

Kress listened to Yi Yali's suggestion.

After all, Kress is far inferior to Yi Yali in terms of his understanding of the world.

"but……"

Kress stopped Yi Yali, who was about to go to the gate of Hesmu City, and reminded——

"...Iyali, your ears may be bad for you."

Following Kress' words, the eyes of the two focused on Yi Yali's ears.

Those were originally a pair of beautiful and flexible ears, but the upper half was cut off alive...

This is a sign that belongs exclusively to the elf slaves of the kingdom.

Its greatest role, apart from distinguishing identities, can also remind any guards or mercenary groups in the kingdom, so that any slave who tries to escape will be wanted by the whole country.

Moreover, this kind of sign, even the Holy Light Temple, which preaches "goodness and benevolence", and their priests, will not heal it.

Yi Yali thought for a while, her eyes rolled slightly, and she suddenly said——

"There is a way!"

Saying that, Yi Yali put on the huge hood on her uniform, and then stuck the emblem of the "Cold Iron" mercenary group on her chest.

"How does it look, Mr. Kress."

I have to say that Yi Yali looks like a dashing and heroic female ranger for hire.

"Very well, be safe."

"Don't worry, Mr. Kress, I will personally choose the most suitable pair of knight armor for you..."

……

dusk.

Outside the city of Hesmu.

Because they can live forever, the undead have a vague concept of time.

But Kress knows that Yi Yali has been in the city for a long time, but there is no news yet...

Kress kept staring at the gate of the city.

For some reason, he vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen...

Finally, there was a change at the main gate of Hesmu City.

It was a carriage, a delivery carriage belonging to the "Cold Iron" mercenary group...

It was an ordinary carriage, but there would always be a trail of blood on the road where the carriage passed.

The guards at the city gates seem to have long been commonplace.

After the mercenary driving the car gave a few copper coins, he let the other party pass without any questioning.

"The carriage is weird."
Kress said lightly to himself. He knew that the "Cold Iron" mercenary group must not be an ordinary mercenary group, but he did not expect that they had reached the tacit understanding of secretly cooperating with the kingdom's garrison army.

After the carriage left Hesmu City, Kress followed closely behind the carriage, keeping a distance that was difficult to detect.
