Chapter 837: Chapter 419: Wraith Princess’s Truth or Dare

This was the first time Long Dangdang had heard the voice of the Spectral Saint Mage, and what surprised him was that after hearing the voice, his tense emotions seemed to relax somewhat.

"Yes!" the Sorcery Demon King answered gravely.

The next moment, the most slender of the seven mithril pillars suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver brilliance. The light was so bright that it dazzled the eyes, and even more peculiar was that as soon as this brightness appeared, the entire Mithril Castle lit up with strange runic glows. It was as if the castle had come to life in that instant.

Before his eyes, a figure appeared as if she had stepped out from that mithril pillar and walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Her graceful figure was shrouded in a silver robe, and a silver cloak completely covered her form, revealing only a hint of her exquisite figure when she moved forward. The cloak covered her head, and when she lifted her gaze, what could be seen was her face also adorned with a silver mask, her features hidden.

"Your Highness, the Princess," the Sorcery Demon King nodded to her.

This was the Wraith Princess? So, she was the one who would choose her Prince Consort.

"You have worked hard, Sorcery Demon King," the Wraith Princess bowed slightly to him, her voice very soft, giving one the sensation of being caressed by a spring breeze. For some reason, this voice sounded faintly familiar to Long Dangdang, as though echoing from a deep place within his heart.

If he hadn’t known that he was in the Wraith Kingdom, he would have even thought the princess in front of him, from her figure to her voice, was indistinguishable from a human. Truly befitting a high-level undead! However, there wasn’t a clear spiritual power fluctuation emanating from the Wraith Princess as there was with the Sorcery Demon King, from whom one could instantly sense the terrifying power.

From the Wraith Princess’s behavior toward the Sorcery Demon King, one could tell that the Sorcery Demon King’s stature within the entire Wraith Kingdom was exceedingly high, even surpassing that of the princess—seemingly showing reverence only to the Spectral Saint Mage.

At this time, the gazes of thirty-three undead warriors were focused on her, as the moment to decide their fates had arrived. Being high-level undead, they naturally understood that if they were chosen, their status would skyrocket. Subconsciously, each undead straightened up, trying to appear more valiant.

Yet the Wraith Princess paid them no heed, instead making her way to the Sorcery Demon King.

The Sorcery Demon King said, "These thirty-three undead warriors were selected from the various cities to be fitting candidates, having been previously identified as suitable. Your Highness, you may choose any among them if they meet your fancy. If none do, we shall select again."

"Thank you, Sorcery Demon King," the Wraith Princess nodded slightly, and then her gaze finally shifted to the assembled undead.

It was then that Long Dangdang saw her eyes for the first time, and what he found odd was that in the eyes of the Wraith Princess, there was no flicker of a Soul Flame, just a pair of incredibly clear pupils, as if they could reflect the entire world. Had he not known her identity, he would have taken them for the eyes of a human, not an undead. Was this what a peak-level wraith looked like?

Her gaze swept over the thirty-three undead warriors, never pausing from the beginning to the end. The next moment, she slowly raised her hand and said, "I will now carry out the final assessment on you all."

As she spoke, her right hand gestured upwards, and at that moment, the ground in front of each undead transformed strangely, with mithril shifting, rising up into desks that took shape rapidly in front of them.

After that, a sheet of paper floated down above each desk, bearing clear human script and accompanied by a pen to the side.

"Answer the questions above," the Wraith Princess said indifferently.

Long Dangdang’s feeling at this moment was one of shock. Before coming here, he had contemplated many possible assessments that the Wraith Kingdom might employ in its groom selection, most of which related to combat. Yet he had never imagined that the final test would be a written examination. What was this madness? What if an undead didn’t recognize characters?

Subconsciously, he glanced around at the other undead, and truly, from a few of them, he could see a look of bewilderment—as if some really could not read!

Focusing his mind, Long Dangdang looked down at the paper before him.

There weren’t many questions on the paper, just three in total, all essay questions.

The first question was, if given the choice, would you prefer to remain an undead or be resurrected to live again as a human.

Without needing to look at the remaining questions, just the first one alone made Long Dangdang’s scalp tingle, as the question was indeed difficult to answer. If he were to answer from the heart, there would be no doubt in his response—for how could an undead, no matter how long-lived, compare with the human experience of flesh and blood, of kinship, love, and friendship?

Yet, would such an answer not reveal his identity? Besides, this was the Wraith Kingdom, might he be directly deemed a traitor?

Without much time to ponder, the Wraith Princess’s voice rang out again, "I will ask each of you these questions in turn. I have ways to verify whether the answers you give are truthful. Those who cannot answer or do not answer from their hearts shall receive a combat-related punishment. If you pass the punishment, you have the opportunity to answer the second question. If you fail, you will be eliminated."
