Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

A small town on the Lost Coast.

Who would have thought that this human town, which had already begun to be built more than ten years ago, was actually one of the plans planned by the Papal State for many years.

The Pope's hostility towards other non-human races is by no means comparable to any other country.

As early as more than ten years ago, the Papal State had already started planning the [Holy War] against the other side of the [Abyss Strait], planning how to bring this vast demi-human hilly area into its sphere of influence.

And this seemingly ordinary human town is the first step of this plan.
It is hard to imagine that this ordinary commercial port town, under the control and command of professionals, has become a military bridgehead capable of carrying tens of thousands of [Sacred Expeditionary Force] in a short while.

The mighty Holy Expeditionary Army of the Papal State came from various places on the south coast of [Abyss Strait], gathered supplies here, and launched a devastating surprise attack on many demi-human tribes.

And now, this town has once again become the starting point of the [Holy Expeditionary Army]
This time, their target will be the elves in [Fangorn Forest] in the south.

Small town market.

"Mr. Kress, take a look"

A white priest's wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of blond hair scattered behind the priest's robe.

The beautiful Priestess Louise walked quickly to a vendor, and held up a magic staff made of black wood with a dark emerald crown emitting faint fluorescence.

".This [Magic Staff] looks good, but is it not suitable for the attributes of my [Priest] profession?"

Louise stroked the staff and said, while looking at Kress who was walking slowly behind him, asking for the latter's opinion.

Kress, Louise, Jack, and Jane are four people.

Because they had intersected as early as in Hesmu City, and Kress, who was not an adventurer at the beginning, even rescued them under the [Skeleton Archmage], so the relationship is very close.

And Jack, the captain of [Sword of the Oath], saw that he was the only one left in Kress's [Dawn] team, so he naturally invited Kress to buy potions and props with them.

Kress shook his head at the time, but immediately agreed.

After handing over the command of the newly established [Dawn] Knights to Li Yiluo, he followed Jack and others to break away from the leadership of the priest of the [Holy Light Temple] and came here.

There are many props and items that adventurers need to purchase.

Especially, this time the opponent is the established [Fangorn Forest]'s elven kingdom, plus the snakes, jackals and other monsters in the depths of [Fangorn Forest], there are more things needed.

Jack and the others are now divided into two groups——

All the way is Jack and Jane, to buy some weapons and equipment maintenance they need.

The other road is Kress and Louise. They need to buy some medicines to deal with sudden situations, in case Louise, the only priest in the team, cannot take care of the situation.

It is worth mentioning that [Sword of the Oath] is now the second existence in Hesmu City after the top adventurer team [Dawn].

The martial arts practice of Jack and others has improved rapidly, and they are already veritable Mithril-level adventurers.

This made Kress very impressed.

And for various reasons, the original [Ranger] Tom and some new members stayed in Hesmu City to complete some special employment tasks.

So [Sword of the Oath] only Jack and the other three came.

At this moment, Kress had already arrived in front of Priestess Louise.
On Kress's body, the black brocade jacket with the pattern of "Dawn" is shining brightly in the morning sun of the Lost Coast.

This made Priestess Louise stunned for a moment.
Kress raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the [Magic Staff], and said lightly——

"The material and manufacturing are all excellent, but the demon gemstone of the core crown is not high-level, and the attributes are indeed not in line with the priest profession, but it is more suitable for some dark-type magic casters."

Kress slowly expressed his opinion and evaluation.
With that beautiful voice like a cello, Louise fell in love in an instant, as if she had violated the gods she believed in.

Kress looked at the priest girl who seemed to be in a daze in front of him, and mistakenly thought that the other party loved the staff too much, so he couldn't help but said——

"...However, Louise, if you like it, you can also buy it. If it exceeds the budget for purchasing medicine, I can help you advance the payment."

"No, no, no"

Louise blushed when she heard the words, put down the staff in her hand, and said again and again——

". Thank you very much Mr. Kress for your kindness, but since this staff is not suitable for me, I'd better not buy it. This is the most cost-effective."

Just as she was talking, Louise seemed to suddenly think of something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Magic caster, why don't you buy it for Miss Dilly as a gift? Mr. Kress?"

As Louise spoke, the words froze slightly the mask created by Kress' advanced illusion.

Unintentionally seeing Kress's slight change, Louise hesitated to speak.

It seems that the level of illusion is too high, and it is not all good. It is too easy to expose one's inner thoughts.

Kress thought helplessly in his heart, then picked up the [Magic Staff], and said lightly——

"Dilly, she...she won't like this prop."

After hearing Kress' words, Louise seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and was secretly glad that she had not violated the taboo between Mr. Kress and Miss Dilly.

Cresben wanted to tell Louise directly that Dilly had left Dawn.

But in the end, Kress still chose to conceal.

In fact, it is very strange. The [Royal Marriage] engagement ceremony between Kress and Rubia Fritz held by the previous generation of King Fritz was well known throughout the country.

But
Jack and the [Sword of the Oath] group seem to have no knowledge of this matter!

When Kress, Li Yiluo and others met Jack and other adventurers and other mercenaries on the boat, the female archer Jane also asked Kress why Dilly didn't come.

However, it may be because most people know that, except for a very small number of existences who have deep hatred for the target, the group of strong men who respond to the call of [Jihad] generally will not put all their strength on it.

Even the [Sword of the Oath], which is only a team of Mithril-level adventurers, still has the main players such as Tom staying behind, not to mention Kress, an adamantite-level adventurer and the leader of the [Dawn] Knights?
Therefore, Jane at that time was also pressed by the captain Jack, so that Kress did not answer this slightly awkward question.

It can be seen that they really don't know anything about the [Royal Engagement].

This is really strange for adventurers with fast news flow.Here, presumably, something must have happened.

"Let's go, there are still a lot of magic potions that need to be purchased."
