Seaside cave .

After Nana woke up, she looked between Link and Vance . Finally, she looked at Link and opened her arms . "Clothes gone," she said . "Nana wants clothes . "

Link was Nana's highest authority, and she would go to him whenever she needed something . Link quickly took out the feminine leather armor he had prepared beforehand . Nana was actually ungendered, but her outer appearance was feminine to fool the enemies . It wasn't good to let her run around naked .

Unexpectedly, Nana shook her head . "War kilt . I want war kilt . "

Link didn't understand why a magic puppet would care about clothes .

Thinking for a bit, Vance said, "I got it . In battle, clothing greatly affects movement . The magic puppet's combat experience has gotten used to the variable of the war kilt . That's why it would make this choice instinctively . "

However, a war kilt wasn't the best for movement . Link put the leather on Nana . "We wear this now . "

This was the command from the highest authority, so Nana accepted it . What was interesting though was that she let Link put it on her without moving but she kept pouting, seemingly unhappy .

"You'll get used to it . " Link knew this was programmed, but Nana was too mesmerizing . Seeing her like this, he comforted her reflexively .

The armor was blue too . It looked like leather, but it was actually a special type of metal . It was resilient and had high magic resistance . It had a high buffering capacity toward attacks from the outer world and was the first layer of defense for Nana's body .

After putting on the armor, Link helped Nana put on boots and gloves . He hung two swords on the weapon hook at her waist, and then he stepped back . "Okay," he said . "Get up and take a few steps . "

Nana nimbly jumped from the enchantment podium . She landed on the ground and walked around .

She was now 5'5", and her curves were perfect . Wearing the dark blue and finely made leather armor with two magnificent weapons, she looked like a handsome warrior .

At the side, Vance commented, "Her movements are smooth . There isn't any sign of stiffness . Her eyes are coordinated too, and her skin looks no different than humans . From the outside, she basically looks like a regular person .

Link was satisfied as well . Turning toward Vance, he said, "I'll take her back to Scorched Ridge . My Mage Tower should be done now . I'll find time to make the Flesh Magic Puppet for you . Give me a sketch image of what you want the outside to look like . "

"I'm flattered . " Vance chuckled and thought for a moment . He pointed his wand in the air, and an image appeared . It was an average-looking man . "This is what I looked like in life . Just use it . "

Link studied it and nodded . "Got it . " Without wasting any more time, he waved at Nana . "Let's go . "

"Yes, Master . " Nana followed behind Link, steps in sync with his .

But just as Link reached the cave entrance, an unexpected voice rang out . "Lord, so you're hiding here! I had such a hard time looking for you!"

Link was shocked . Vance immediately got into a defensive position, ready to fight whoever was outside . Link stopped him with a wave . "Let's test Nana's abilities . "

He could tell who it was from the voice, but he wanted to test Nana . Retreating, he said to Nana, "Send the guy outside to the ground but don't hurt him . "

"Yes, Master . "

With a clang, Nana grasped a short sword and activated . There was a boom, and she disappeared from Link . It was the speed and decisive actions he was familiar with .

Half a second later, there was a shocked cry outside . "Hey, who is this? No, what is this…!"

Mid-sentence, there were clangs of weapons, and after three seconds, there was a m.u.f.fled thud . "Impossible!" the man wailed outside . "What is this? Let go! Let go of me! Ah!"

Link walked out at this time . He saw Nana dressed in her dark blue leather on the beach, her hair pulled in a ponytail (buffering the damage to the magic puppet's heart), with a foot on Skinorse's chest .

Her legs were long and curvy, looking even better in the leather pants . However, these slender legs had terrifying strength . Under her foot, Skinorse struggled in vain . He was immobile as if he had been nailed to the beach .

Seeing Link, he smiled wryly . "It's just a Lich, not a big deal . You won't kill me, right?"

"Nana, let him go . " Nana stepped back and pouted with her red lips . "Master," she said, "This opponent is as weak as a chicken . "

Skinorse was speechless . He clutched his chest, heartbroken .

Link was speechless too . He had designed this language set for Nana so she could communicate . These instigative phrases were used to destroy the opponent's confidence . He didn't expect Nana to use it now in such perfect context, completely destroying Skinorse's self-esteem .

Face pale, Skinorse looked cautiously at Nana as if scared she would do something . Nana glared and pursed her lips . She jutted her chin out in disdain . "Weakling, are you fearing me, the queen?"

Her voice was crisp and lovely . She was looking down on him but still seemed playful . Skinorse clutched his chest again . He looked mesmerized, and he sighed in regret . "If only she' wasn't a magic puppet!"

Link laughed . "Her name is Nana . As you can see, she's a magic puppet . She saved my life in the North . "

"Nana? That's a good name . Her appearance has gone to waste . I was almost won over by her . " With that, Skinorse walked around Nana to Link's side . He peered at Link suspiciously . "Why are you with a Lich? To be honest, the majority of these undying things aren't good news . "

This interested Link . In the game, Skinorse had traveled the world and had vast knowledge . He was very open and would never judge someone too quickly . Now, based on his words, Link realized that his personality was the same as in the game .

He laughed . "You yourself said 'majority . ' There's also a minority . "

"Fine, that Lich does seem different . " Skinorse glanced at Vance, who had exited the cave, and tipped his hat .

Vance was curious about this young a.s.sa.s.sin . Smiling, he asked, "Boy, have you met good Lichs before?"

"Of course . It was in an ancient tomb when I was still young . I'd broken in without meaning to, and he helped me out in the end . He even gave me 100 gold . It was really memorable…But that's all unimportant stuff . Can I know your name?"

"I'm Vance . "

"Oh, Vance . A good name," Skinorse said politely . He obviously didn't know the creator of the Battle Art . After the polite stuff, he turned to Link . "I finished investigating Delonga . Do you want to see?"

"Of course . " Link nodded .

Skinorse tossed a scroll at him . "Everything's in there, so look by yourself . Notify me whenever you're free, and we'll set out . "

Link opened the scroll and scanned it quickly . His pupils restricted, but his expression didn't change . "It probably can't be too soon," he said . "The northern battle needs me . I have to at least wait until the northern front is stabilized . "

Skinorse was shocked . Brows furrowing, he said, "I heard the Northern Dark Elves had received the Dark Divine Gear . Is this true?"

Rumors had spread everywhere, but Skinorse rarely trusted rumors, so he didn't care for this one .

Link nodded . "Indeed . I had fought with it and barely survived . "

"Are things that bad…?" Skinorse looked anxious . Others spread rumors, but from Link, it would definitely be the truth . After a few seconds, the red-haired a.s.sa.s.sin glanced at Link . "So are you preparing to head north?"

"I'll set out soon . You know, the Iron Wall cannot be defeated . " As Link spoke, he could feel that the a.s.sa.s.sin wouldn't just stand to the side .

As expected, Skinorse fell silent again . After a while, he said, "Hey, Dark Elves are all crazy . Count me in…No, I'm not enough . I'll get a few of my friends too . "

If the Iron Wall of the Norton Kingdom was breached, it would be a catastrophe to the mainland . Anyone with common sense understood the severity of this . Skinorse seemed unreliable and careless, but he actually had foresight .

At the side, Vance sighed, face filled with regret . "Ah, if only I wasn't like this . Otherwise, I'd go north too . "

If he showed up in his undead state, he would probably be exterminated by the king before he could even do anything .

Link comforted him . "Don't worry, old guy . You won't have to worry after I make your Flesh Magic Puppet . " Then he said to Skinorse, "I'm going back to the territory now . If you really want to go north with some friends, you can set out with me . At least I can speak to the higher-ups . You won't be looked down on after you go . "

Skinorse nodded . "No problem . The time seems tight, so I'll go tell them now . "

The a.s.sa.s.sin moved quickly . As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped backwards, ready to leave in a flash . However, he hadn't changed . When he pa.s.sed by Nana, he sent a flying kiss . "Hey, girl, chase me if you can!"

Nana saw that as a provocation . With a m.u.f.fled boom, she burst forward without warning and kicked Skinorse's b.u.t.t . Thankfully, she had control over her strength and didn't injure him .

Still, Skinorse was sent flying 300 feet . He landed pathetically with a plop in the water .

"I'll get back at you someday!" came the depressed roar from this silly a.s.sa.s.sin . Then, he swam away .

On the other end, Vance looked at Link and asked, "Is the situation with the South bad?"

Link nodded and showed Vance the scroll . "Roy the Fifth has gone crazy," he said . "He's collecting bodies from the battlefield, and currently, he already has an undead army of around 30,000 . "

The most intimidating thing about the undead army was its numbers . Anyone who died in battle would become their soldier . In war, the undead army would grow with every battle . Like a s...o...b..ll, it could turn into a super army of one million within a short time .

If this really happened, it would be a disaster even more terrifying than the Northern Dark Elves . The only solution against the undead army was to stop them before they started developing . Once it reached a certain state, it could defeat anyone purely with their numbers!

Vance looked at the scroll in disbelief . "I can't believe that the genius Wavier has become Demon G.o.d Tabinos' puppet and even joined the Syndicate . What a pity . "

Demon G.o.d Tabinos was a demi-G.o.d of the Sea of Void . He was also known as the ruler of the dead and was the controller of death . He was powerful enough to be in the top ten of the demon G.o.ds .

Link sighed . "No matter what, I must do something about it . Before going north, I must visit the Southmoon Kingdom . "

Nowadays, Delonga Kingdom's enemy was the Southmoon Kingdom . If the Southmoon Kingdom didn't have any measures against the undead army when they appeared, they would be unable to hold on . If Southmoon collapsed, the Ferde Wilderness would be next .

At that time, the Norton Kingdom would have to face the Dark Elves in the North and the undead army in the South . It would be checkmate! Therefore, he must stop the undead army before they could start developing!

Time was tight, and Link couldn't waste a second . He called to Nana and hurried back to his territory .

He could see the tip of the Mage Tower before he reached the territory . There was already a ten-foot wide Mana Light Ball at the top . Around the ball, dozens of Mana threads reached into the air . From a distance, it looked like a spider web . This meant that the Mage Tower had started operating and had successfully integrated with the Mana of the wilderness .

The Mage Tower has finally been completed . Good news . Link instantly felt better .

He sped up . As soon as he reached Scorched Ridge, someone recognized him . It was Eliard, who looked at Link with a pleasant surprise . "Link, you're better?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm okay now," Link muttered in reply .

"Then let me take you to tour the Mage Tower . I partic.i.p.ated in the entire process this time," Eliard said with a smile .

Link had this intention too, so he naturally nodded .
