Chapter 320 – You Touch Her Face

“Is it all like this out there, Lord Wizard?”

“Well, it’s not what you remember, I guess.”

Stygian crows are fast.

Spreading his wings and flying, he swept through the air.

It was but a day or two’s work before they flew completely out of the territory that Servia knew so well, and headed further afield.

What came into view was a barren landscape similar to Cloverfield.

The undead wandered through the uninhabited wilderness, trampling down a rotting house and emitting a meaningless hiss as they spread the world aimlessly.

Occasionally.

The living can also be seen.

But that kind of number was too sparse and nowhere near as prosperous as the girl remembered.

“So …… that’s …… the ruins of the royal capital?”

Steeply, the turquoise pupils of his eyes flashed in shock.

Servia saw it, the kingdom to which the Cloverfield family once belonged, that thriving capital city of a thousand years ago, transformed into a windswept, sand-ridden capital of the undead.

The number of undead wandering among them is more than tens of thousands and tens of thousands.

Even a cursory sweep.

It has to be in the hundreds of thousands as well.

To this point.

In her heart, Servia finally had a clear perception of the changes in the wizarding world.

The good old days are completely relegated to memories, and what was lost will not return again.

She is a deceased person who does not belong to this time.

No one in the new world remembered her name.

In addition to–

Seemingly recalling something, the girl shifted a little nervously to bring herself closer to the Xu system.

“Silvia, are you afraid of heights?”

“No, Lord Wizard, I am trying to better protect you.”

Brave Cervia is a bit of a mouthful.

The turquoise eyes, reflecting the grayness of the sky and the back of the man in front of her, felt inexplicably secure.

“Where are we going next, Lord Wizard?”

After her mood calmed down, the undead girl in armor, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

It was her first time.

Stay away from the boundaries of the kingdom to which House Crawfell belongs.

“If you mean the end of the line, it will go to the Plateau of the Gods at the center of the world later on, and I’d like to verify something there.”

“As for now, I’m going to seek out a suitable location.”

“Build a makeshift workshop, reshape your armor and weapons, and teach new practices along the way.”

The Xu system looked sideways.

Looking over at Cervia, who was sneaking closer.

The tone of her voice seemed helpless, “Servia, you could have actually just sat over here.”

“May I?!”

“Uh, yes.”

The Xu system took out a new cushion, stretching it flat and placing it on the seat beside him, signaling the girl to come and sit.

Servia sat down.

Sitting upright, his armor folded, he had an indescribably heroic look.

She didn’t forget to thank the Xu system, “Thank you, Lord Wizard.”

……

[After reading the information on the White Raven’s Tower, you have written down multiple locations, and combining different historical sources, you speculate on what once happened in the very center of the Wizarding World]

[There is a good chance that this is the place for the ritual of summoning the Underworld.]

[You’re curious about this]

[Wants to explore the truth of the wizarding world while studying souls]

[You think maybe you can see something different on the Plateau of the Gods at the center of the world.]

[It doesn’t matter if you don’t get anything]

[The process of the journey itself is one of the greatest treasures]

[You can still improve your strength, continue to study the mysteries of life and death, and train a weak warrior so that she has the strength to survive on her own.]

[For this, you’re ready to take a break]

[Prioritize changing Thalia’s outward appearance and teaching her to grow, testing Thalia’s witchcraft credentials]

Half a month later.

Xu Tie brought along Servia and landed in a small town.

Here stands a wizard’s tower.

Its owner, an old sorcerer trapped in the One Environment Realm.

If the Xu lineage had stepped forward, the old sorcerer would have inevitably respectfully offered his resources and even surrendered the Sorcerer’s Tower.

But the Hsu system has no interest in this.

He was just looking at the number of undead around the small town, thinking that he could harvest more soulfire.

“Well ……”

“When we build the Sorcerer’s Tower in the future, we must add a levitation function that can carry me for real-time movement.”

“That way, I won’t have to rearrange it every time I go to a new place.”

Suburbia.

The Xu system murmured, his hands blooming with a brownish shimmer.

The uneven ground was trimmed, the hidden workshop building was quickly built, and the cured countertops were placed one by one with transcendental materials and experimental instruments.

The preparation of these things was not for the Xu system itself.

Instead, it’s for Thalia Cloverfield.

Backwards in time.

Servia would be following along with the Xu system and would not be able to avoid dealing with the others.

Rightfully so, the dress that was too tattered to hide her face any longer no longer suited Servia.

“For the body part, change to lightweight and sturdy magic armor.”

“It both reduces the burden on Servia and provides effective protection.”

“The face part, maybe ……”

“It’s possible not to cover it all up.”

The Xu system pondered in deep thought.

The girl’s face was half in the form of undead-ized withered bones, and half in the form of a living man in his time.

The Xu system felt that the half that retained flesh and blood might not need to be covered.

Just use the jutsu wisely.

Fine-tuning fills the empty half.

Complemented by cloaks, veils, and other coverings, it is entirely possible to create the illusion of being alive.

As in the wizarding world, the demonic traits are masked for Kryssa to fake it out so that everyone can’t see the nature of the alien.

“Ask Thalia what she thinks.”

……

[Simulation Year 6, Fall]

[You leave Cloverfield with Sylvia and land in a small, unnamed town to complete Sylvia’s training and conditioning.]

[You ask the girl if she will continue to hide her true face or accept your help and have a half-true, half-fake face]

[Upon hearing your inquiry, Silvia froze for a long time]

[She happily chose to proceed]

[Even if it’s not really restoring flesh and blood, even if it’s still only half of her face, such a result is already worth the girl’s joy]

[You start preparing the appropriate materials, and the appropriate props]

[You call Guts to the temp room]

[“Yes, Lord Wizard.”]

[Guts skillfully removes her armor and lets her skeletal body lie flat on the lab bench, allowing you to work your way up and down on her]

Slime slime.

Liquefied matter of rubber fruit.

Rock lizard molting.

Inside the bright and spacious workshop, Department Xu followed the order and called up the required materials in turn.

A combination of sorcerer’s spells, and a mishmash of soul power stirred.

A whole new product emerges.

A material that could be kneaded and molded at will, possessing the tactile sensation of flesh and blood, surfaced in the center of Xu System’s hand.

It can’t replace the five senses that Servia lost.

But only mimic a shape.

Let others mistake that Thalia has the face of a normal human.

It’s still a breeze.

“Thalia, are you ready?”

“Yes, Sorcerer-sama, please use my body.”

Cervelia closed her eyes with some trepidation.
