136: Chapter 86 Lola_2 136: Chapter 86 Lola_2 “Do you think I chose this myself?” Lola stopped, her golden eyes helplessly looking back.

“Over two months ago, when I woke up, I was already bound with you in this body, almost dragged into the Dead Sea.

Instead of asking me why I’m here, perhaps you should tell me first, how did you enter this body?”

“Ah, I really don’t know,” Leon said truthfully, his transmigration felt like a dream.

Just a little while ago he was a corporate slave on Earth, and suddenly he became a destitute slave.

“I believe you really don’t know… That’s why I want to return to Rolannar as soon as possible, just to figure everything out.”

Lola spoke, her gaze sweeping through the displays in the workshop.

She noticed a small figurine, and her eyes flickered strangely.

She extended her hand from afar, and the item floated from the shelf into the palm of the young girl.

“…It seems that besides the Netti Card, you’ve tried more than one method…

Aphrodite.” Lola sighed.

Leon glanced sideways.

In the other’s hand was a perfectly crafted, full-color figurine of an elegant, black-haired woman.

The detail on the figurine was even more exquisite than the expensive collectibles Leon had seen in his previous life.

“Leon?

Are you in there?” Kovis’s call suddenly came.

Leon turned his head to see the blond young man peering cautiously from behind the door.

Having searched all the way down from the tower, Kovis finally relaxed upon seeing his companion.

“I’m glad you’re alright.

I just saw a lot of activity on top of the tower from outside, I was a bit worried, and also, the sky outside is…”

At that moment, Kovis caught sight of the white-robed young girl next to Leon and couldn’t help but be puzzled: “Who is this?”

“This is Miss Lola, she’s my friend, a very powerful mage,” Leon introduced to Kovis briefly.

Kovis was stunned; he had not expected to find someone else inside the tower.

However, as the young man saw the familiar supreme insignia on the girl’s white and gold robes…

“She’s your friend?” The blond young man’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Carefully looking at the girl’s magic robe, he swallowed and ventured hesitantly, “Why does your friend wear the insignia of the Emperor of Athias?”

Lola heard these words and frowned, setting the figurine on the table and turning her head toward the young man at the door.

“I see they are still using third-order titles.

The robes are clearly separated; I thought they had copied everything.”

Lola’s voice seemed displeased: “Do those Rodokians still have to add some of their new creations?”

Listening to this bizarre conversation, Leon was completely puzzled.

Kovis instinctively stepped back, his eyes filled with suspicion.

The young man knew that the Magic Emperor of Athias was undoubtedly male, and it was impossible for him to suddenly appear in front of him.

Yet, the insignia on the white-gold robe of the young girl standing next to his companion, representing the most prestigious rank of Athias’ mages, still brought a surge of unease to Kovis.

“Don’t put the cart before the horse,” Lola patiently explained: ” … In the era I wore this robe, the so-called Atiyas Empire that the Rodokians are stirring up now didn’t even exist.”

“Is there significance to your attire?” Leon finally vaguely understood what Kovis had misunderstood.

Lola nodded, “The ancient traditions of Lorelette; True Position awarded a Black Robe; Official added gold ornaments; Magic Guide was awarded Purple Robe…

As for a robe with such decoration.”

The young girl spread her arms, slightly twisting her waist, her eyes nostalgic, “Only the Pope can wear it.”

It seems Miss Lola’s past position was quite prestigious, Leon reflected in his heart.

He recalled Lady Aphrodite, who had left behind an afterimage.

One in a purple robe, one in a white robe; it indeed formed a clear distinction of their status.

“Although it wouldn’t matter to continue talking about the past, don’t you plan to leave?” Lola explained and then, sitting down at the table, turned to ask.

“You mean, we can now leave the Cursed Land?” Leon exclaimed in surprise.

“The Netti Card has been taken, and with the current consumption of this land’s energy vein, the dissipation of this domain is accelerating,” Lola looked out the window.

She had found it odd initially, such a large-scale spirit-like field, yet so quiet inside, completely devoid of any traces of Spirit Realm creatures.

It turned out that Aphrodite had sacrificed her soul to the Dragon of the Dead Sea before being devoured by the Spirit Realm.

The maintenance of the spirit-like field thereafter relied solely on the unique Great Magic within the tower, which nurtured the Netti Card.

Leon stepped forward, pushing open the window, and peered up into the sky.

What was once a black canopy like splattered ink now resembled a canvas scorched by fire, filled with gaps.

Through the melting patches of gaps seemed to seep the bright sky of reality.

But before Leon could rejoice, he heard Lola behind him say, “Let me remind you, Li Ang, although the spirit-like field is about to disappear…

those Living Corpses roaming this domain won’t dissipate along with it.

If you still care about your own territory, it’s best to return quickly and prepare.”

Leon turned, surprised, “Won’t these Undead, once back in reality, be dragged into the Dead Sea by the Life and Death Law you mentioned?”

“No, because they died in the spirit-like field and not in reality, so they can only be dealt with the normal way of defeating Undead: either destroy their physical bodies and expose their Wandering Souls or wait for their bodies to undergo a long decay in reality, until they can no longer house a soul,” Miss Lora explained, spreading her hands.

Leon was startled.

This vast Nightmare Forest, who knows how many human and beast Undead Living Corpses had accrued over such a long period?

Selva was directly adjacent to this forest, and not just Selva, but Longka…

as well as the human settlements on the edge of the Nightmare Forest in the “Kosos” and “Blink” counties…all might be harassed by these Wandering Spirits.

“This is really serious!”

Leon turned and quickly walked toward the door, not wishing for his small territory, hardly recovered from the violations by the Kantadar people, to be ravaged again by the Undead Living Corpses.

Seeing the anxious expression on Leon’s face, Lola spoke reassuringly, “Don’t worry, those Living Corpses aren’t much of a threat.

The Flame Sun Guard is just a special case; mostly, Living Corpses lack intelligence and roam aimlessly.

Just bring the news to the lords of that kingdom quickly.

An army organized by ordinary people should be sufficient to suppress the stray Undead emerging from the forest.”

León took a few steps, then turned back to see Miss Mage still quietly sitting at the table, and couldn’t help but ask, “Lola, aren’t you coming with me?”

Miss Mage shook her head, picking up the scattered flawed crystal cards on the table, “I need to stay here for a while to look into Aphrodite’s research, maybe there’ll be some other gains.”

Leon thought for a moment, didn’t insist—although he was not used to being without Isa’s Arrow by his side, he wasn’t so frail as to not survive without her.

Lacking a trump card, he’d just have to be more cautious in his actions.

However, to be honest, with Miss Lora’s soul no longer constantly watching, Leon felt he might enjoy a bit more privacy in his daily life.

“…Once I sort out the affairs on my territory, I’ll come back to learn magic from you.”

Saying this, Leon walked to the doorway, then suddenly looked back with some worry and asked, “Miss Lora, when you end this spiritual state, will you turn back into that Netti Card?”

“Why?

Afraid I’ll be picked up by someone else while I’m a card?”

Lola looked over, smiling, “Don’t worry.

I’ll restart the defensive magic here and hide the tower.

Besides, even if someone takes it, I can return to your side from the card.

Now, other than this card, my only anchor point in this world is with you.”
