Chapter 36 Little Skeleton

"Hey, don't cry." With the sudden cry, the first person who panicked was Vivian. No matter how knowledgeable the genius and powerful combat power were, it could not hide the fact that she had been lying in the bed for more than ten years, and her heart was closer to the child. So when the low and majestic voice suddenly turned into the sharp cry of a little girl, Vivian felt as if she had done something bad, and was busy comforting the skeleton that was taller than herself: "Don't cry, don't cry, I put away the bottle, we won't bully you, don't cry."

The Skeleton King covered his face, or his two black eyes, cried when he heard Vivian's words, and seemed to have secretly observed the five people around him for a few seconds, and cried again: "Wow, I don't believe it, you all bully me, you are all bad people, wow, I want to find my mother, wow."

Vivian rubbed the soft hat on his head in distress and looked at Lina for help, but Lina smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly, saying that she had no way to solve the predicament in front of her. Vivian turned her eyes to Katherine again, and Katherine sighed with headache, walked to the Skeleton King squatting on the ground, stretched out her hands and hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and placed her hand on the bare skull bone, stroked it twice and said, "Child, don't cry first, brothers and sisters were wrong just now, so we shouldn't scare you, we apologize to you. Don't worry, as long as you don't attack us, we won't hurt you."

"Really?" It seems that Catherine is born with the characteristics of making children trust and close. Both the little banshee Anne and the skeleton show special trust in Catherine. Hearing Catherine's promise, the Skeleton King gradually stopped crying and asked tentatively: "Don't you really hurt me?"

"Well, we are not bad people and we won't hurt people casually." Catherine said with a gentle smile: "Look, you hit us first just now. We scared you. As long as you have no hostility, we won't attack you."

"I'm sorry." The Skeleton King lowered his head and apologized: "I didn't want to hurt you either. I just saw you getting closer and closer to here, and I was a little scared. Only then did I control the others who wanted to drive you away."

"It's okay, everything is just a misunderstanding." Catherine followed the words of the Skeleton King: "So don't be sad, let's sit down and have a good talk, is that OK?"

"Okay, but sister wait a moment." The Skeleton King raised his arm. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly stopped again and asked, "You really won't hurt me, will you chat and talk with me?"

"Of course." Katherine was not impatient and replied patiently: "I promised as a knight that I will not hurt you."

"I believe in sister." The Skeleton King pressed his hands on the half-armored sternum, easily breaking off a few ribs, and holding out a small skull from his empty chest. The skull is very small. It is obviously a child, with two short horns on the top of his head, which looks like it belongs to the deer tribe among the orcs. The Skeleton King took out the skull and held it in his hand. Next to him, an inconspicuous skull and skull suddenly moved, took the small skull and placed it on his cervical spine.

After the skull was taken away, the Skeleton King was controlled by the little skeleton, just like the other skeleton knights who were guarding him, and stood there motionless like a wooden stake. The little skeleton moved his neck left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to Catherine. His jaw clicked and moved a few times, without saying a word.

"Annie. Come out and help." Catherine laughed and knocked on the pendant on her chest: "Help cast her spells so that she can communicate with us in words."

"Huh?" The little banshee poked her head out of the pendant and looked at it, suddenly jumped out of the pendant and said in surprise: "Brothers and sisters, who is this little guy?"

"I am not a little guy." It seems that Annie has completed her work, and the little skeleton can speak normally. She put her hips on her hips and said, "I am the king of this grassland. There are dozens, no, hundreds, no, thousands, or even thousands. Anyway, it is the ruler of many skeletons here. You, a transparent monster, dare to call me a little guy. I want to teach you a lesson and let you learn how to respect a great existence like this."

"But, you are a little guy." Annie tilted her head cutely, ran to the little skeleton and compared her height. She bit her finger in confusion and said, "Look, you are shorter than me and so thin, you must be a little guy."

"Nonsense, I am the greatest skeleton king." The little skeleton threatened the little banshee with his teeth and claws: "It is the ruler of this land. If you step on my territory, why don't you kneel down for me?"

"You two." Catherine knocked on the heads of the two little undead: "Go along well and don't quarrel. Now apologize to the other party and say sorry."

"Well, you are lying." The little skeleton hugged his head aside with aggrievedly: "I'm going to bully me if I promised."

"Yeah?" Catherine looked at the little skeleton with a smile. The little skeleton is indeed very small. The horns on the head are less than one meter high. Each bone is slender, giving people the illusion that it will break if it touches. However, the skeleton is indeed unique. It is not like the miserable whiteness of other skeletons, but it is covered with a warm luster like ivory. Under the pressure of Catherine's unique way of staring with elders, the little skeleton's muttering voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, she compromised reluctantly and whispered: "I'm sorry, it's me wrong."

"Hmph." The little banshee put her hips proudly on her hips. Just as she was about to say some victory declaration, Panis knocked her head over her head and then bent down. She had to apologize: "It's me that's not good, I apologize."

The scene where the elder educated his children to help them mediate conflicts made the other three ladies feel helpless. Lina rubbed her head with a headache and muttered in a low voice: "Why did things suddenly become like this? It's so strange. Aren't we here to solve the problem? Why did it become a coaxing child in a blink of an eye?"

"Things in the world are changeable." Vivian casually said an old proverb, not knowing whether it was comfort or self-comfort.

"No matter what, coaxing children is better than fighting." Marcia was very satisfied with the situation in front of her and nodded, "Everyone lives peacefully. There is no better development than this."

"Let's go, let's go down and talk." Catherine pulled the skeleton's slender hand and walked down the Bone Mountain. The skeleton followed obediently. Holding her hand, Catherine felt that her hand bones were cold but smooth and dry. She did not have the disgusting and terrifying stinky feeling that the skeleton was ashamed and terrifying as she imagined. Walking down the Bone Mountain, two big and small "people" sat down everywhere. Catherine pulled the skeleton and asked, "What's your name?"

"I, I know, don't stare at me like that." The little skeleton changed his name under Catherine's stare and said: "My name is Xiaolu. Also called Tiaotu, but everyone in the family calls me Xiaolu."

"Huh?" Catherine asked in confusion: "Do you have a name?"

"The little deer is the name." The little skeleton asked strangely: "Didn't I say it?"

"The orcs held a preparatory ceremony at the age of ten, and became a teenager." Panis also walked down with Anne in his arms, and explained to Catherine: "Only children who hold a preparatory ceremony will have official names, and they were called only by nicknames before."

"Oh. By the way, I forgot." Catherine slapped her forehead and said with a wry smile: "Okay, then we'll call you Little Deer?"

"Yeah, OK." Xiaolu nodded quickly and replied, as if she was happy to hear someone calling her the name again.

"So, Xiaolu, can you tell your brothers and sisters what's going on here?" Catherine asked, "Also, if it's convenient, can you tell your brothers and sisters about you?"

"What happened?" Xiaolu tilted her head. Although there was no expression on her face that was only bones, everyone actually saw the doubt in her heart from the beating soul fire: "Nothing happened."

"This..." Catherine said in embarrassment: "Can you tell us about your past events? That is, um, what happened when you were still alive. Then tell us about what happened after you woke up this time?"

"Oh, sister is asking these questions." Xiaolu scratched her head in a humanized manner, closing her jawbone as if she was giggling: "Actually, I don't remember it very clearly when I was still alive."

"It's okay." Catherine was amused by the actions of a skeleton, but she felt sad again. She couldn't laugh at all: "If you remember, just say as much as you really can't remember, just forget about the parts you really can't remember. Don't force it."

"Wait a moment." Panis suddenly interrupted the communication between the man and the skeleton. He looked back at the canyon called the Holy Spirit Corridor behind him, frowned and said, "We have been wasting too much time. The battle just now was a bit large. The undead who was thrown away from behind has followed him. I will find a way to solve the skeletons first, and then concentrate on telling stories."

The girls' faces sternly, and they each stood up to take out their weapons. After a short rest for just a few minutes, they not only failed to regain their strength, but they felt more tired. Lina and Vivian looked at each other and said in a little embarrassed manner: "My magic is bottoming out. Now drinking potions is a bit wasteful. It's not that it's wasteful potions, but the number of times they use potions."

"I'm about the same," Vivian said, "I'm almost at the limit of my absorption of the energy in the crystal. If I continue to absorb it, it may cause a backlash from the magic channel, so I dare not absorb it anymore."

"Then we can only delay for the time being." Catherine raised her shield and couldn't help frowning. Even with her physical fitness, she felt that the shield became very heavy: "Pennis, how many have she chased?"

"I can't count it." Panis's eyes twitched: "Many, many."

"What's wrong, brothers and sisters? Don't you want to see them?" The little skeleton deer looked at the people who suddenly had serious expressions, and nodded with some insight: "Then... OK, I'll drive them away."

"Huh?" The ladies looked at the little skeleton in surprise: "You can control so much?"

"No." Xiaolu replied: "But I can make them feel that you are no longer here, and they will naturally follow you in the illusion."
