Chapter 148 Submitting to Ying Wei
"I...I can't actually help you fight the Demon King's army yet!"
The blushing lich lady then voiced another major question of hers.
"What happened?"
Aqua frowned at Wiz. Although she looked down on this lich, if this lich really had a history of storming the Demon King's castle and escaping unscathed, as in her story, then he would definitely be able to play a role when they fought the Demon King later.
She never expected that before she could even come up with the idea, the lich in front of her would reject it first. Of course, Aqua wanted to find out what was going on.
"Because I am now one of the eight executives of the Demon King's army."
Wiz revealed his true identity.
"What?"
Darkness was horrified and drew her knight's sword.
"As expected, the undead are evil!"
Aqua even took out her Flower Bud Staff and began preparing a purification spell again.
"So, is there a problem with this identity?"
Broly was confused. He had no idea about the Demon King's army, only that Aqua seemed to dislike them.
"Broly, the Demon King's army is the cause of chaos in this world, and it is also the enemy that our goddess often sends heroes from other worlds to deal with."
Aqua offered an explanation, completely unaware that the source of this world's chaos, besides the Demon King's army, was also the various cheat abilities and equipment carried by the otherworldly heroes she had sent. They might even be the main reason for the current chaos in this world.
"In other words, this guy is our enemy. Get out of the way, my purification spell is ready, we can take care of her now."
"Ah, Lady Aqua, please wait a moment. Although I am a cadre of the Demon King's army, my main job is to help maintain the magic barrier of the Demon King's castle. I do not fight for the Demon King's army myself."
Wiz quickly explained that she didn't want to die for such a reason.
"In fact, the Demon King's castle is often attacked by the Crimson Demon Clan. In order to prevent the kind of thing that happens when you are suddenly hit in the face by a high-level magic in your sleep, the Demon King has been troubled to find a magician who is proficient in magic barriers."
"And I, who tore apart the Demon King's castle's original defensive barrier, caught the Demon King's eye. He contacted me through Mr. Banir, requesting that I go to the Demon King's castle to help rebuild a protective barrier in exchange for the Demon King's army not pursuing my attack on the Demon King's castle."
"Then aren't you still working for the Demon King's army?"
Aqua crossed her arms, clearly displeased.
"I couldn't help it, I'm not good at refusing elderly people's requests, and I only agreed because they were willing to agree to my conditions."
"What are the conditions?"
"If I join the Demon King's army, I can help build a magical barrier over the Demon King's castle to protect it from the Red Demon Clan's invasion."
Therefore, the Demon King is willing to use his own name to restrain his army from harming anyone other than adventurers, knights, or other combatants, such as civilians and neutral individuals.
After Wiz joined the Demon King's army, the Demon King's army stopped launching large-scale attacks on human villages outside the city.
Of course, whether they kept their promise or secretly launched an attack remains unknown.
In short, after Wiz joined, the battles between the Demon King's army and the various human kingdoms in this world rarely affected civilians.
"According to the terms of the contract, I am also unable to take action against the Demon King's army unless the Demon King's army itself breaks the promise."
After hearing Wiz's account of the situation, Aqua and Darkness temporarily laid down their weapons.
"In that case, we can't completely consider you as one of the Demon King's army."
The fact that Wiz has no bounty on her head is the best proof that she did not harm the humans in this world after becoming a lich and joining the Demon King's army, so she is not famous.
If he hadn't revealed it himself, probably no one would have known that a magic item shop owner who got poorer the more he did business was actually a member of the Demon King's army, albeit a nominal one.
"Alright, I'm aware of this matter. Considering that you haven't harmed any humans, I'll consider you passed. From now on, you'll have to take good care of my disciple."
Aqua waved her hand and said.
"Hey, with my status and the fact that I can't even be of any help, you still want me?"
Wiz was shocked again; she thought that if she revealed her identity as a member of the Demon King's army, she would be abandoned.
"While you might not be of much help in dealing with the Demon King's army, we don't actually need your help. My adorable disciple is quite powerful, and I'm sure he'll be able to handle the Demon King's army once he grows up. Until then, you'll need to take good care of him and serve him. But if you don't do a good job, hmph!"
Aqua didn't continue speaking, but simply waved the purification light on her staff, the threat of which was self-evident.
"Waaaaah..."
What else could Wiz do? Just as she was powerless against the Demon King when she was human, she was now being greatly restrained by the Goddess as a lich. She could only choose to submit to the overwhelming power of Aqua's purification spell.
"By the way, you're the one who caused the mess at the cemetery, so you're responsible for cleaning it up. Don't make things difficult for me."
Seeing that the lich was quite sensible, Aqua handed over the cleansing task to her.
. . . .
The purified ghosts did not disappear, but were sent to the afterlife.
The creature sent by Aqua's purification spell went directly to Eris.
While Aqua was taking a hands-off approach and taking Broly back to Marian's house to sleep, Eris in the heavens was swamped with work.
Who knows why so many souls suddenly flooded into her place, where angels were supposed to help with the affairs of the dead?
"We were attacked by a terrifying priest! That guy called us evil spirits without any explanation and cast purification spells on our heads without giving us a chance to defend ourselves! Waaah, Lady Eris, please help us poor souls!"
"Yes, yes, and that other kid who was with that priest, I only teased him a little, and he just beat me up! Waaah, I was hoping Alina would confess to me at my grave!"
"Damn, where do you get your confidence? The Prudential Ghost really is on the loose!"
The noisy situation in the Rebirth Space was giving Eris a major headache.
. . . .
The next day, after a good night's sleep, Aqua took Broly to the cemetery to check on the effects of the lich lady's hard work in calming the souls that had been done all night.
After confirming that most of the ghosts in the cemetery had indeed been cleansed, Aqua went to the Adventurers' Guild to complete the quest.
"As expected of Miss Aqua, she solved the problem of the haunted cemetery with ease."
"Of course! Don't you know who I, Aqua, am?!"
Faced with the praise from the signboard girl, Aqua unceremoniously took all the credit for herself.
Last night, she only used a purification spell to cleanse the area for a short while when she first entered the cemetery; the rest was mostly done by Wiz.
"By the way, where's your disciple Broly? Didn't he come to the guild with you?"
Miss Luna suddenly asked, "Does she also know who is in charge of C in Aqua's squad?"
"He met a new friend last night, and this morning he went to fawn over her."
When Broly was mentioned, Aqua pursed her lips.
"Hey, not accepting missions today?"
"Let's take a break for a day."
The signboard girl was a little disappointed. She had hoped that Aqua's team would put in more effort and complete the task of defeating the demon monkeys in the forest at the same time.
. . . .
"Miss Wiz, I've come to play with you."
Broly knocked on the door of the magic item shop, holding some bread he had bought from the bakery. He felt he would be happy if someone brought him some food when they were looking for him.
He came here to raise the happiness level of his new target, the Lich Wiz.
However, Broly knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out to answer it, making people wonder if the owner inside had packed up and run away overnight.
However, Broly could sense a faint chill in the magical item shop, which was Wiz's aura.
After thinking for a moment, Broly knocked on the door again, but this time with greater force, and uttered the lines that were beginning to surface in his mind.
"Miss Wiz, don't hide in there and stay silent. I know you're home. You've got the guts to agree to be my wife, but you don't have the guts to open the door? Open the door!"
"Click~"
Broly smashed through the thick door of the magic item shop.
"Uh~"
This could be considered an unconventional way of opening the door, right?
"Excuse me!"
Broly opened the door for himself and came in.
The magic item shop was quiet, with no windows open or curtains drawn, making it somewhat dim.
The shelves around him were filled with all sorts of strange props. Broly glanced at them twice before looking away and heading toward the only room in the shop that had a cold atmosphere.
Pushing open the door and stepping inside, you find yourself in a storage room, with a single bed in the corner where Miss Lich Wiz lies.
Her condition was not good; she seemed to have fallen into a coma, her expression was somewhat uncomfortable, and her figure appeared somewhat illusory.
