Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Until the Third Great Collapse swept in, both councilors remained as law-abiding as ever, without taking any rash actions, and quietly fulfilled their duties.

　Since they had not received any clear instructions to act, the two councilors naturally would not interfere with the list of cannon fodder (crossed out) warriors reported to test the powers of the Third Herrscher.

　They signed their names on the list without hesitation, thus fulfilling their duties as members of the Moth of Fire council.

　As for the individual lives behind this list, the high-ranking legislators don't care at all.

　In the eyes of these high-ranking members of the Firemoth Council, the lives of the soldiers who were about to set foot on the land of Changkong City and face the ferocity of the Third Herrscher were not as important as what they would eat for their next meal.

　While those soldiers, regarded as pawns in the war, risked their lives to obtain intelligence and boarded large transport planes bound for Changkong City, several elite squads, also belonging to the Moth Chasing Fire combat order, had quietly arrived on the outskirts of Changkong City.

　Unlike their colleagues who were dubbed "warriors," these elite squads received vastly different attention and care.

　Even though the skies over Changkong City are occupied by Advance-class Honkai Beasts and other flying Honkai Beasts, and every sortie of human Honkai energy fighters faces a life-or-death test, these elite squads still have the authority to call for air support at any time.

　This is certainly not because these teams themselves are that important.

　If it were that important, they wouldn't have risked their lives to come to Changkong City, where the Third Herrscher is located, to carry out a mission.

　The reason they received such special treatment was purely because of the crucial mission they were carrying out—rescuing important figures stranded in Changkong City.

　Changkong City is one of the most important cities in the Far East Islands, so it is perfectly reasonable for important figures from human society to reside here.

　When the third Great Collapse occurred, these important figures were naturally trapped in Changkong City.

　For their safety, the fire-chasing moths naturally spared no effort in carrying out rescue operations.

　Among the many elite teams carrying out rescue missions, one team stands out from the rest.

　They were not going to rescue any prominent figures, but under the special instruction of Mebius, the master of the First Research Institute and one of the original founders of the Fire Moth, they were tasked with rescuing Mei, a student at the Thousand Feather Academy.

　At the academic conference on the continent of Mu six months ago, she witnessed Mébius's academic research report and gave this talented young woman extremely high praise.

　Upon learning of the arrival of the Third Herrscher in Changkong City, Mebius quickly submitted an assessment report on Mebius's importance and value to the Moth of Fire Council.

　Given Mebius's illustrious reputation, the talents she valued naturally gained widespread recognition.

　Thus, this elite squad was formed, with only one goal—to ensure Mei's safety.

Chapter 180 Rescue Operation in Changkong City

　Thanks to the coordination and command of the Moth of Fire, the Far Eastern government launched an air offensive in the airspace surrounding Changkong City. The rescue team tasked with rescuing Mei, along with other elite rescue teams, were able to successfully complete their mission.

　Its existence did not attract the attention of the Third Lawrence.

　Even with such careful and meticulous planning, the rescue team encountered numerous dangers on their way to Chiba Academy.

　Under the shadow of the Great Collapse, the once rare high-ranking Honkai Beasts are now appearing frequently. They are no longer just records in data and databases, but have become a real threat.

　Just an hour after the rescue team entered Changkong City, shocking news suddenly came through the communication channel of the Fire Moth.

　A small team tasked with rescuing an important figure, along with their target, encountered an Emperor-class Honkai Beast. Unsurprisingly, they were all wiped out by the boar-like beast.

　This news made all the team members tense, but even so, they still had to continue forward and complete the task assigned by the Fire Moth.

　That rescue team wiped out by Ganesha was just the beginning.

　During the rest of the journey, the rescue team received news from the Fire Moth's communication channel that three more rescue teams had encountered a powerful enemy and were annihilated.

　Furthermore, on their way to Chiba Academy, the team encountered a powerful Temple-class Honkai Beast.

　Faced with such a formidable enemy, they were almost in dire straits.

　Fortunately, the Firemoth granted them the authority to call in air support, and this time they were exceptionally lucky; the air support arrived in time, saving the squad from becoming just another nameless corpse in this cataclysmic event.

　After defeating another Knight-class Honkai Beast that had discovered their whereabouts, the rescue team finally found Mei and Kevin, who had escaped from Chiba Academy together, in a ruin.

　"Reporting to command, this is Search and Rescue Team 017. We have located our key search target—Mei. Please provide further instructions!"

　While arranging for negotiators to explain the current situation to their rescue target, Mei, the rescue team leader quickly reported the mission progress to the command center.

　"Command received! Please immediately escort the rescue target to evacuation point C, and ensure the safety of the rescue target at all times."

　"Roger that!"

　Upon hearing the latest orders from headquarters through his earpiece, the rescue team leader immediately responded.

　He then relayed the latest instructions from headquarters to his squad members through the squad's internal communications.

　“Miss Mei, and Mr. Kevin, please follow us to the evacuation point.”

　After receiving instructions from the squad leader, the squad member in charge of negotiations gave a "received" gesture and then spoke to May and Kevin.

　Kevin and May exchanged a glance and nodded.

　Although Kevin has demonstrated astonishing combat prowess, capable of defeating a tank-class Honkai Beast single-handedly, both Kevin and May are well aware that in the Honkai-ravaged Changkong City, it would be virtually impossible for the two of them to escape safely on their own.

　The fighting power to defeat a tank-class Honkai Beast with just a baseball bat is indeed amazing, but in the current Changkong City, such power still seems insignificant.

　Let alone a Herrscher, even a random Honkai Emperor would be beyond Kevin's ability to handle without professional training.

　In the Great Collapse, the Honkai Emperor, who is only the pinnacle of the lower-level Honkai Beast system, is not actually that rare.

　Therefore, the two felt genuinely fortunate for the arrival of this rescue team.

　Kevin's addition undoubtedly boosted the rescue team's confidence.

　His formidable combat prowess made the evacuation much smoother.

　After several thrilling battles, the rescue team, leading May and Kevin, safely arrived at Evacuation Point C, located on the edge of Changkong City.

　Here, they were temporarily freed from the threat of collapse and gained a moment of peace.

　It was here that Kevin and May made a pivotal decision that would affect their lives—to join the Firemoth.

　Mei was filled with gratitude for the timely rescue by the moth that chases the flame.

　At the same time, she is also full of expectations for the broad platform and unlimited opportunities that this organization can provide.

　Therefore, when the Moth of Fire extended a sincere invitation, Mei accepted without hesitation.

　Kevin, unwilling to be separated from May, also resolutely requested to join the Firemoth as a soldier, so that he could face the challenges of the future alongside May.

　For the agents of the Fire Moth, Kevin's addition was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

　He had already learned of Kevin's amazing combat abilities from the rescue team and readily agreed to let him join.

　Originally, the agents of the Fire Moth were still thinking about how to attract such a powerful warrior to join them, but Kevin took the initiative to express his willingness to join.

　Faced with such an unexpected surprise, how could the agents of the Moth of Fire possibly refuse?

　Just as May and Kevin boarded the transport plane arranged by the Moth of Flames and left Changkong City, which was about to become the main battlefield for annihilating the Third Herrscher, Moros finally received Velvet's forgiveness.

　With Moros's gentle reassurance, although Miss Expert was still somewhat annoyed by the necromancer's teasing, she eventually accepted the fact that he had become her bedmate.

　In fact, the expert had always held a rather favorable view of necromancers.

　Her previous annoyance stemmed more from her pride and self-esteem as a young girl than from a genuine rejection of Morros's embrace.

　Moros was greatly encouraged by the subtle change in the expert's attitude.

　He gently picked up the still somewhat weak expert and carried her toward the small restaurant in the Magic Guild that was specially prepared for the guild master.

　Clearly, he intended to share a delicious breakfast with Velvi, featuring the specialties of the Ashan World Academy, to celebrate this step in their relationship.

　The walls of this small restaurant are decorated with a light white base, adorned with beautiful bouquets of blue and purple interwoven together. Each flower is carefully carved from magic crystals, emitting a faint glow, making you feel as if you are in a dreamlike fairyland.

　Several enormous magic lamps hang from the ceiling of the restaurant. Instead of using traditional candles or oil lamps as a light source, they are directly powered by magical energy.

　The soft, warm glow of these magic lamps, combined with the fluorescent glow of the bouquets, creates an atmosphere that is both mysterious and cozy.

　A rectangular dining table was placed in the center of the restaurant, covered with a clean white napkin embroidered with exquisite magical runes, which not only reflected the guild master's noble status but also added a touch of mystery.

　In this setting, Morlos and Vervière began their breakfast.

　The two sat facing each other at an exquisite dining table, savoring the specialties of Ashan World and enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and warmth.

Chapter 181 Diet Therapy and Vervière

　Although the people of Ashan's world still live at a medieval level, magic has brought about astonishing development in terms of enjoyment.

　However, such luxurious treatment is not something everyone can enjoy.

　In that war-torn world, it was the privilege of a few nobles and high-ranking spellcasters.

　Take, for example, the meal that is currently laid out in front of Moros and the expert lady. It is an exorbitantly priced delicacy that ordinary merchant families simply cannot afford.

　The water used to cook this dish alone is something small businesses cannot afford.

　The Endless Kettle!

　A low-level magical artifact capable of permanently connecting to the water elemental plane.

　Its normal price in the magic shop of Ashan is usually above 500 Ashan gold coins.

　For an ordinary small business family, the profits they earn through a year of hard work and travel often don't even reach this figure.

　To nobles and high-ranking spellcasters, the [Endless Water Jug] provided nothing more than water that was sweeter and purer than ordinary water sources, merely an insignificant part of their lives.

　However, the extravagance of this delicacy goes far beyond that.

　On the plate, the fried eggs were made from monster eggs that low-level professionals risked their lives to steal from monster lairs. Each egg contained the wildness and power of the monster, and after being fried, it emitted an enticing aroma.

　The roasted meat was made from the rich aroma of low-level magical beast meat, and its flavor was so mellow that it left a lasting impression.

　In addition, the drinks also have a unique flavor.

　It is made from magical honey, which has a unique magic that allows you to feel your body's energy slowly increasing after consuming it.

　The fruit platter was even more stunning, with fruits made from precious magical plants from the Arcane Garden, boasting vibrant colors and rich flavors.

　When these precious ingredients meet the exquisite skills of a skeleton servant who possesses the memories of a top chef, breathtaking dishes are born.

　Each dish is like a meticulously crafted work of art, not only delicious in color, aroma, and taste, but also imbued with the mysterious magical power of the Ashan world.

　In fact, the reason Moros meticulously prepared this lavish breakfast was precisely to use the magical power contained in these dishes to nourish the various problems caused by the death magic accumulated in the cemetery territory due to Vilvie's long-term residence in the demiplane.

　Moros noticed this situation during his in-depth conversation with Vervie last night.

　He hoped that this breakfast would dispel the corrupting influence of death on Vilvie and restore her health.

　At first, under Moros's gaze, the expert maintained a reserved demeanor.

　But soon, this level of magical cuisine captivated her, making her unable to tear herself away.

　As the expert put the last bite of food into her mouth and put down her utensils with satisfaction, she suddenly felt a surge of hot energy in her stomach.

　This energy, warm and intense like the rising sun, began to spread from within her body, making her feel as if she were enveloped in a warm, comforting aura.

　As time went by, this feeling of warmth did not fade; instead, it became even stronger.

　Soon, her skin changed from fair to rosy, and her ears turned bright red.

　The expert felt as if her body was a furnace, with waves of intense heat flowing through it, accompanied by...

　A burning sensation in my thigh.

　“Moros, you…”

　Looking at the necromancer opposite her, a hint of doubt flashed in the expert's eyes.

　Although she knew in her heart that Moros wouldn't hurt her, this situation was indeed somewhat unexpected.

　Meeting the expert's gaze, Moros explained with a smile.

　"Don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon as the power of magic dispels the residual death magic within you..."

　After saying that, Moros gently waved his finger, and a magical projection appeared in the air.

　The projected images clearly showed how this breakfast gradually dispelled the deathly magic within the expert's body.

　As she gazed at the image projected by the magic, the expert's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex yet warm feeling.

　With the expert's intelligence, she couldn't possibly fail to guess the preciousness of the magical dish that could accomplish such a feat.

　The expert felt a warm glow in her heart when she thought about how the young man in front of her was willing to pay such a price for her health.

　Some things are not shown by words, but by deeds.

　This principle was something that Vervier naturally understood very well.

　Since that's the case, then let's leave it at that.

　The expert was stunned when the thought crossed her mind.

　She carefully examined her own heart, questioning herself about her true feelings towards Morros.

　Subsequently, Vervier came to a conclusion.
