Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　As she spoke, she casually tossed the parts in her hand aside, a sincere and warm smile spreading across her face.

　Holding Alicia's hand, Velvet led the pink fairy to a workbench filled with various mechanical models and intricate blueprints.

　On the workbench, delicate parts are scattered about, and two cups of freshly brewed flower tea emit wisps of steam.

　Clearly, this was specially prepared to welcome Alicia's visit.

　"Come, try my new tea blend and see if it suits your taste."

　Smiling, she handed over a cup of tea, her pink eyes sparkling with anticipation.

　Taking the teacup, Alicia took a small sip, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

　"Wow, what a wonderful flavor! Baiwei, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

　The two savored their fragrant tea while chatting about everyday matters.

　From the latest fashion trends to the technological marvels newly developed by the Moth Chaser, and their recent experiences, the topics were lighthearted and enjoyable, filled with laughter.

　However, amidst this warm and pleasant atmosphere, a topic of common concern gradually surfaced in their minds—the necromancer Moros.

　"Vilvie, are you aware of Morros's recent situation?"

　Setting down her teacup, Alicia's face showed a concerned expression.

　Before leaving this world and embarking on his journey to become a hero, Moros did indeed reveal some things to Alicia.

　However, Miss Pink Fairy's understanding of the more specific details of the mission was somewhat limited.

　She shook her head slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but quickly she said firmly.

　“I don’t know the specifics, but I believe he will return safely.”

Chapter 636 Surprise

　Alice nodded in agreement at Vervi's resounding words.

　It was obvious that she had complete confidence that Morros would return unharmed.

　Once again, Alicia gracefully picked up her teacup and took a small sip of the tea.

　Then, while savoring the rich and fragrant flower tea specially prepared by Miss Baiwei, she slowly spoke in a gentle tone that seemed to be asking Wilville, or perhaps whispering to her own heart.

　"Vilvie, what do you think Moros is doing right now?"

　Upon hearing this, a bright smile, as warm as the spring sun, bloomed on Vervi's lips.

　Her gaze swept across the neatly arranged mechanical models on the workbench, as if she were imagining the distant and mysterious world where Moros lived.

　"Perhaps he is lurking in some little-known secret realm, searching for the secret that can further enhance his power."

　As she said this, a sly glint flashed in Vervi's eyes.

　"Did you know, Ellie, before we set off, my mentor granted me the authority to command the undead army? Would you like to witness it for yourself?"

　Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Miss Pink Fairy's ocean-blue eyes, which was quickly replaced by a warm smile.

　"Now that you say that, my curiosity has definitely been piqued."

　Alicia's voice was filled with anticipation and excitement.

　Seeing this, the cunning look in Vervi's eyes intensified.

　She chuckled and winked, as if she already foresaw a wonderful drama about to unfold.

　However, just as she was about to stand up and cast a spell to open a portal to the nearby undead army's base, Alicia's suggestion changed her mind.

　“Vilvie, I want to…”

　Seeing that Wilvi's attention had returned to her, the pink fairy didn't hesitate to reveal her true feelings.

　"Why don't we take this opportunity to prepare a little surprise for Moros? After all, after a long separation, a caring and warm gesture from a loved one will surely make him feel the warmth and sweetness of home."

　Alicia's words were full of sincerity and affection; she was inviting Velvi to join her in weaving a beautiful dream about love and surprises for Morros.

　The image of Moros's joyful expression upon his return flashed through her mind, and the slyness in Vervie's eyes was instantly replaced by a warm and gentle emotion.

　She clapped her hands, her pink eyes sparkling with excitement and approval.

　"Ellie, your suggestion is fantastic! How could I refuse? Let's prepare an unforgettable surprise for Moros together!"

　Vervi's voice was full of enthusiasm.

　She held Alicia's hand tightly and, without any hesitation, led Alicia towards the location of the special teleportation array leading to the demiplane deep within the base.

　As she walked, she excitedly shared her thoughts with Alicia.

　“We can go to the Lord’s Hall on the top floor of the Capitol, which is the first place Moros will visit upon his return. We can decorate it carefully so that he can be surrounded by a warm welcome and surprise the moment he returns.”

　"Yes, yes! We can also hang colorful ribbons, place his favorite desserts, and those magic candles that emit a soft glow, immersing the whole room in a warm and romantic atmosphere."

　Vervi's words were filled with anticipation and excitement; she seemed to have already pictured the vivid scene of Moros's return, his face a mixture of emotion and surprise.

　Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

　Stopping in her tracks, Virvi's gaze fell gently and earnestly on Alicia's radiant smile.

　Then, she said in a solemn tone.

　"Ellie, don't move around while I'm chanting the spell. Even though I'm a high-level mage, my power is still limited. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to fix it."

　"Don't worry, Velvi, I will remember it."

　Responding with a smile, Miss Pink Fairy adopted an expression as if she had taken Vervi's words to heart.

　Seeing this, Vervi nodded and said no more.

　She took a deep breath and began to softly chant the incantation to activate the teleportation array.

　As the incantation was recited, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the special teleportation array leading to the demiplane, gently enveloping the two of them.

　The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be distorted and rapidly changing by an invisible force.

　In the blink of an eye, they left the futuristic base and stepped into a completely different world—the teleportation hall of the Magic Guild.

　Here, towering stone pillars support the dome, each pillar carved with intricate and mysterious runes and patterns, seemingly containing ancient and powerful magical energy.

　In the center of the hall, a huge teleportation array quietly emitted a faint blue light, like a star in the deep night sky, guiding travelers between different worlds and dimensions.

　A faint magical fragrance permeates the air, mixed with the coolness of the ancient stone and the tranquil atmosphere of the cemetery outside, creating a mysterious yet peaceful ambiance.

　Stepping out of the teleportation array, before the two could fully adjust to the new environment, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly rang out, breaking the surrounding tranquility.

　"Lady Alicia, Lady Velvi, welcome to the Magic Guild."

　Alicia and Velvi were already very familiar with this [Level 5 Magic Guild].

　Therefore, when the voice of the artificial soul aggregate that managed the magic guild rang out, they immediately recognized it.

　In fact, they are not only accurate

　They were able to identify the source of the voice and even had the authority to command this special being.

　Just as Morros had a deep trust in Velvi, the necromancer also had unparalleled trust in Alicia.

　Based on this trust, he also granted Alicia the authority to command this special artificial soul aggregate, allowing her to freely mobilize this special assistant when needed.

　"Number 1, do you have any new news to tell me?"

　"Vilvie asked casually."

　Her tone carried a hint of routine.

　Clearly, subconsciously, she didn't really expect to hear any valuable information from this cold, artificial soul aggregate.

　But this time, she was wrong.

　"The master returned to the Magic Guild a day ago and is currently sleeping peacefully in his living room."

　"what?!"

　Exclaiming in surprise, Virvi quickly asked the same question again.

　After receiving a positive reply from Number 1, Velvi quickly exchanged a glance with Alicia.

　Without needing to say more, the two already understood each other's thoughts.

　Then, without hesitation, they turned around and hurried towards the main living room of the magic guild.

Chapter 637 The Land of Gentleness and Sakura's Infiltration

　With the authority granted by Morros, Alicia and Velvi silently entered his private domain.

　Inside the room, soft, simulated moonlight filters through sheer curtains, dappling the floor and creating dreamlike patterns of light and shadow, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the tranquil space.

　The warm, soft light gently caressed the necromancer's face, adding a touch of gentleness and serenity to his usually somewhat stern features.

　At this moment, he seemed to have shed all his defenses and burdens, and was completely immersed in a sweet dream.

　She tiptoed to the bedside and gazed quietly at her lover, her pink eyes sparkling with endless tenderness and love.

　She slowly extended her fingers and gently brushed the stray hairs on Moros's forehead. Every movement was full of delicacy and tenderness, as if afraid that the slightest sound would break this rare tranquility and beauty.

　Alicia followed closely behind, coming to the other side of the bed, her gaze gently falling on Morros's face.

　She bent down slightly, gently pressing her cheek against Moros's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and feeling the emotional fluctuations from the depths of his heart—a bond that belonged only to them, eternal and profound.

　Feeling the warm, soft touch on his chest, Moros quickly opened his eyes.

　Just as he was in a daze, his eyes met Alicia's crystal-clear gaze.

　"Ellie?"

　"Hmm~"

　Responding softly, Alicia hugged Moros tightly, burying his head in her broad chest, gently stroking his hair, and speaking softly.

　"I am here, I have always been here."

　Hearing Alicia's gentle response, as warm as a spring breeze, and feeling the warmth and softness from the pink fairy's chest, the necromancer's mind gradually cleared, and the light in his eyes grew brighter.

　That sense of peace and happiness was like warm sunlight piercing through the clouds, pouring down and filling his heart completely. The whole world seemed to become warm and beautiful because of this love.

　He gently embraced Alicia, as if wanting to forever etch this moment of warmth into his heart.

　Seeing this, a gentle smile appeared on Vervi's lips.

　She tiptoed from the bedside, went around to the other side of Alicia, and joined the warm embrace.

　The three of them embraced tightly, their heartbeats and breaths mingling together to create a warm and touching melody.

　Just as Moros was enjoying the gentle embrace woven by Alicia and Velvet, Sakura quietly arrived at the integrated research and manufacturing base hidden deep in the Victoria Desert.

　In order to protect her younger sister, Rin, in this increasingly crumbling world, and to provide her with better living conditions, even though the Poison Chrysalis Squad no longer exists, Sakura still silently carries out every mission assigned to her as Dr. Mei's hidden and sharp sword.

　After confirming that the high-ranking officials in the necromancer's territory were completely unaware of Moros's recent whereabouts, the [Moment] Inscription quickly relayed this information to Dr. May.

　Then, Dr. May gave her a new task—

　Infiltrate Vilvie's base to uncover deeper intelligence.

　Based on the various clues gathered previously, Dr. Mei astutely deduced that this place was undoubtedly the last hope for finding out the necromancer's recent whereabouts.

　Therefore, even knowing how difficult and complex the task was, Dr. Mei still entrusted it to Sakura.

　Of course, given Dr. Mei's foresight, she had already made thorough preparations.

　This was another reason why she had previously sent Alicia to make contact with Velvi.

　For Alicia's sake

　Even if Sakura's infiltration operation is unfortunately exposed, it can mitigate the danger to the greatest extent possible and keep the situation under control.

　Getting back to the point, gazing at the heavily guarded comprehensive base in the distance, and those seemingly cute but actually formidable armed puppet patrol teams, Sakura felt a surge of emotions, but not the slightest intention to back down.

　Bell, your sister will complete the mission!

　With this belief, Sakura, wearing the tight-fitting combat suit custom-made for her by the Fire Moth research department, began her mission.

　Her figure darted swiftly through the sand dunes, like a dark, swift wind, silently approaching the impregnable base.

　The base is surrounded by towering Honkai energy alloy walls, which are tightly encircled by a low-power Honkai energy barrier. Any unauthorized approach will trigger an alarm and attract the relentless pursuit of armed puppets and drones.

　However, Sakura had already learned how to bypass this outer defense facility through the information provided by Dr. Mei.

　She nimbly leaped onto a sand dune, and under the cover of night, carefully observed the layout of the base, searching for the best infiltration route.
