Chapter 151: Advancement Successful, Level Soars!
Translator: Lonelytree
After arguing for a while, the Abomination suddenly asked, “Can you sew them up?
Matthew couldn’t keep up with his train of thought.
“What do you mean?”
Abomination explained, “If you can sew them up, won’t they be together?” The undead fell silent.
It was unknown whether it was because of their fear of Abomination or because they were stunned by Abomination’s train of thought.
Matthew rolled his eyes.
“This… It’s indeed a solution.
“However, there is another problem for the Headless Horseman and the Flying
Ghost Head. They were picky about the taste of food when they were alive. The
Headless Horseman liked to eat sweet food when he was alive, while the Flying
Ghost Head liked to eat salty food when she was alive.”
This time, before he could take the initiative to sow discord.
The undead quarrelled again.
However, this time, they broke the shackles of their race. The Skeleton Party and Zombie Party, which had just been established for less than an hour, disbanded one after another and became the Salty Party and the Sweet Party.
Matthew was delighted.
This was the ultimate move he had prepared for the Night of the Undead!
There were so many undead. It would be too tiring for Matthew to have a heart-to-heart talk with them one by one. Moreover, when he was chatting with an undead, the others would interrupt.
He couldn’t be silent either. It didn’t conform to the principle of in-depth communication between the two parties during the Night of the Undead.
The more mature method was for the necromancer to act as the host and guide the undead during discussions and debates.
This was not a Matthew original.
He learned it from the necromancers in Baiyan City.
However, Matthew did come up with the debate topics himself. His selection criteria were only one: the more argumentative the topic was, the better! This way, he would probably be able to survive the entire Night of the Undead.
Of course.
This technique was not omnipotent. If you wanted to use this method to pass the Night of the Undead, you had to have a big brother who could control the situation.
This was also the fundamental reason why Matthew was so ingratiating to the Abomination.
In addition.
In terms of chatting topics, the undead actually had many taboos.
This was also the reason why Matthew did not wish to speak too much lest he made a verbal mistake. If he said something that made Brother Abomination unhappy, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
In such a situation.
The necromancers of Baiyan City had a method that was close to cheating.
They would find a powerful undead before the night of the dead. This immortal must be a high-level existence with intelligence like Peggy. They called this kind of undead a ” middleman.”
The necromancer would make a deal with the middleman beforehand.
The two sides had agreed on a time and place. After the Night of the Undead began, the middleman would stumble into the ceremony site like it was an ‘accident’. This was to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
How effective was this cheating process?
Baiyan City’s officials even had a service that specialized in renting out ” middleman “!
This was also one of the reasons why Baiyan City was able to mass-produce high-level necromancers.
However, there was a price to be paid for taking shortcuts. The advancement completed by taking shortcuts would usually only be the weakest grade.
Matthew naturally looked down on them.
He was confident that he could pass the night beautifully with his gift of the gab.
Perhaps it had been too long since the Undead had spoken, but they seemed to be very active. Other than Big Brother Abomination, the rest of them were all expressing their opinions noisily.
Matthew was much more relaxed because of this. He only needed to control the scene.
“What you said makes sense, but what if the Headless Horseman is unwilling? I mean, though he was a man and had once had manly features, he is now a ghoul.”
“Miss Flying Ghost Head has a good temper, but she always lacks a sense of security. She can’t stand the fact that the Headless Horseman often doesn’t return at night. She even suspects that the Headless Horseman actually has a head, but he hides it and uses it to flirt with other flying heads…”
“You’re right. The Flying Ghost Head has always been known for its ugly appearance, but are ugly people destined not to get true love? If she really couldn’t meet her Mr. Right, couldn’t she just wait? What if there is one still waiting for her?”
Matthew interjected one sentence after another.
The Debate of the Undead was pushed to the climax wave after wave.
If it wasn’t for Big Brother Abomination’s frequent question of “Can’t you sew them together?”, Matthew could probably make the debate last the whole night!
But even so.
Time passed by without him realizing it.
In the heated debate.
Someone suddenly shouted, “It’s dawn!”
The undead, who were still arguing fiercely just now, suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Matthew looked down.
The incense in the incense burner had also burned out the last wisp.
Almost in an instant.
The undead, who had been extremely lively just a moment ago, became stiff as if a force had deprived them of all the wisdom and memories that had been temporarily given to them.
The light of dawn shone on the rainforest.
The undead returned to their muddleheaded state.
One by one, they left Matthew’s ritual site.
Including the Abomination.
Under the effect of the ritual, they would obediently leave the scene.
Matthew watched them leave with relief.
Other than the perverted zombie that wanted to assault Matthew earlier…
Matthew walked in front of him and tripped him. The latter staggered and fell to the ground, baring his teeth at Matthew.
He finally got up.
Matthew kicked him to the ground again.
Until all the undead disappeared from Matthew’s sight..
