“When they later chose me to be the saintess, I immediately dropped my heiress title and gave it to my brother. Being a saintess was much more comfortable than being a princess. However, in my third year as the saintess, a gold mine was discovered in our territory. My brother’s life turned around instantly, and it was infuriating. Why couldn’t they find the mine when I was there!?”

Lisa grumbled, her tone was of complaints, but everyone could hear the nostalgia in her voice. She hadn’t expected that by the time she returned, more than a thousand years had passed.

Since coming to the Master Plane, Lisa never talked about her family matters. She knew that after more than a thousand years, everyone and everything she knew were long gone to ash. Today’s Kingdom of Luosha had nothing to do with her anymore.

Unexpectedly, because of this, she started to get involved again. When she received news of the conflict in the Wusu Kingdom, she was quite panicked.

Back when she was the heiress, the Wusu Kingdom was established with strong support from her family. She hadn’t expected that after a thousand years, the descendants of Wusu would use such treacherous means to plot against her family.

Lightning grinned, “It’s clear that your misfortune has messed up your family. As soon as you left, their luck turned.”

A flash of coldness shone in Lisa’s eyes, and she said with a smirk, “Lightning, remember all your food is distributed by me. Aren’t you afraid that one day I’ll accidentally mix something in and make you rush to the bathroom till dawn?”

Lightning replied solemnly, “Misfortune is just a form of luck. Lisa, your luck is so good that it seems like misfortune. Doesn’t this prove that you’re lucky? You still look stunning even after a thousand years.”

“I still look stunning even after a thousand years? Hmm, I like the sound of that. Keep talking.” Lisa grinned cheekily.

“Yes, beautiful sister Lisa.” Lightning hung his head, trying his best to flatter her with his words.

He felt his words were becoming less effective. It seemed like everyone had a way to suppress him now. Oh, how he missed the newcomers. Insect God, where are you all?

Guided by Lisa, Lightning landed in a valley thirty kilometers away from the capital of the kingdom.

This valley was ordinary, nestled between two hills. Both sides were low cliffs, and the bottom was dense with shrubs.

Lisa introduced, “This is our family cemetery. Starting from my ancestors, all our family members are buried here. Even though I disappeared, they would put my relics in here. I need to find some of my belongings.”

“Uh, is that necessary? Would your descendants still recognize something from over a thousand years ago?” asked Negris.

With a resigned smile, Lisa replied, “What else is there to do? Do I go to them empty-handed and say, ‘I’m your great great great…aunt’? They’ll probably throw me out. Besides, it’s been a thousand years. I need to psychologically prepare myself. After all, to me, they are strangers too. I hope seeing my ancestors’ graves and my relics will trigger more memories.”

Lightning brought up an idea, “Do we want to resurrect or summon your whole family? We can storm into the Grand Ducal Mansion and introduce them. ‘This is the first Duke of Luosha. This is the second Duke of Luosha…Ouch, don’t hit me. Stop hitting!’

Negris didn’t feel any sympathy for Lightning, but he agreed with his suggestion. “We can indeed look for some souls that haven’t dissipated yet. Preferably ones that are more recent and revive them to ask about the recent situation of your family.”

Lisa looked exasperated, “Find the recent ones? Are we making wine?”. She couldn’t beat up Negris like she did with Lightning, so she just chuckled, “Alright, we’ll look.”

Soon, they entered a cave at the bottom of the canyon. Judging from the vegetation around the cave, it seemed like no one had been here for years.

Lisa explained, “Unless there’s something special, people won’t come here after the burial of our family members, to avoid leaving traces that could be discovered. There’s also a magic barrier in the cave. Unless you have the corresponding rune sequence, you can’t open the barrier. If you try to break it forcefully, the whole cave will collapse.”

When they reached the back of the cave, there was a seemingly inconspicuous stone leaning against the wall. If Lisa hadn’t mentioned it, no one would’ve noticed there was an opening behind the stone.

Lisa kicked the edge of the stone a few times, causing a slight magic wave, but the stone didn’t move.

After a few more tries, Lisa turned back with an embarrassed look and said, “They… changed the password.”

It’s not surprising, more than a thousand years have passed, who knows what has happened during this time, such as password leaks, or simply disliking the password set by their ancestors and changing it.

“So what now? Smash the entrance, the stone doesn’t seem too thick.” Negris suggested.

“No, no, if we smash it, it will trigger a forbidden enchantment and the whole cave will collapse.” Lisa urgently protested.

“No problem, Ange can handle it. We can retreat into the Resting Palace and let Ange transform into Locke, then we smash and run. Even if the whole hill collapses, it won’t damage the Mourning Skeleton.” Negris said dismissively.

Lisa took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then yelled, “It will destroy my ancestors’ cemetery!!! I didn’t come here to rob graves!!!”

Only then did Negris remember, this cemetery belonged to Lisa’s family, they weren’t here to rob graves, this was indeed an awkward situation.

“Then what should we do? Can you break the enchantment? Anything like a backdoor?” Negris asked.

Lisa shook her head and thought for a while before saying, “Forget it. I can’t desecrate my family’s graves for some mementos. Let’s skip this. We’ll confront them directly and say that we have a history with the former Saintess Lisa, and we specifically came today to help.”

“Yes, this plan is better. Let’s proceed with it.” Negris agreed.

He didn’t blame Lisa for dragging them all on a futile trip. Any matter involving one’s relatives is not easily comprehended. Deep in her heart, Lisa may not have come for the mementos, perhaps she just wanted to pay tribute to her parents. Who could understand these feelings?

Hence, after the futile trip, everyone turned to leave. However, at this point in time, everyone heard a scratching noise, like sharp fingernails scraping across a stone.

Lisa and Negris exchanged a glance, then they simultaneously looked at the large piece of stone.

Everyone realized that there was something inside, but how can they disable the enchantment sealing the hole?

“We can’t smash it, otherwise it will trigger the enchantment. What if I go find Brooks, Aestolia, and Vaguli, so they can disable the enchantment?” Lisa tentatively asked.

“Yes, no enchantment is unbreakable, only a lack of skill. We can also see the folks at Stellaris Academy, they certainly have a deeper understanding of enchantments. Ange, wait, don’t smash it, uh…”

Just as Negris was speaking, Ange, who had been sowing seeds in the space with his hand, suddenly pulled out his hand, walked up to the stone and pushed hard.

Before Negris could finish speaking, the large stone blocking the entrance was pushed by Ange into a pile of straw and fell into the cave behind.

“I…you…Bada, that actually worked? An element conversion broke the enchantment just like that? This technique is really invincible for lock picking.”

Negris didn’t know where to begin. The Instant Death Halo used for farming, the Goddess of Beauty Fist used to modify bloodlines, Element Conversion used to pick locks. Divine techniques aren’t supposed to be used like this.

Regardless of how they’re used, as long as they work. Ange opened the door, but did not trigger the enchantment.

From within the cave came a roar as an ugly zombie rushed out from the straw-filled grotto, swiping at Ange with it’s metallical, sharp claws.

Negris exclaimed, “Not good, an Iron Skin Zombie!”

Golden Skeleton, Iron Skin Zombie, both are undead creatures of the same rank. In terms of strength, the Iron Skin Zombie is even stronger because its skin is extremely tough. It’s nearly immune to sword blows.

This is just Lisa’s family cemetery, the number of buried people isn’t that many, at most a few hundred. There isn’t enough soul energy. How could it summon an Iron Skin Zombie? Where did this zombie come from?
