Chapter 209 The Undead’s Plan
The Spider Demon Princess' words were like a bomb, exploding completely among the crowd.

Ancestor?

Is the ancestor here?
Aren't they trying to resolve the issue of the little spider's belonging?

The elders and guards were all stunned, especially the spider demon leader who followed them, whose eyes were already wide open.

Although he had guessed it when he was on the street, he was still shocked when Her Royal Highness the Princess said it herself.

Because people of the royal family can sense the existence of their ancestral bloodline!
Could it be that……

The spider demon leader suddenly raised his head and looked at Rhodes with a look of surprise and doubt.

Under the gazes of everyone, Rhodes' hood moved, and a small white spider appeared on his head, looking around curiously.

For an instant.

A suppression originating from the bloodline enveloped the surroundings, causing all the spider demons to tremble.

"Ancestor!"

“It’s really the ancestor!”

"How could this be?"

The spider demons were shocked and confused, looking at the tiny white spider in puzzlement, as if they had not expected that the aura of their ancestor could come from this tiny spider.

Seeing their reactions, Rhodes was a little surprised.

"The Dream Weaver is your ancestor?"

He asked the questions that were in his mind, which were also his guesses along the way.

"Have you seen the Dream Weaver?"

The Spider Demon Princess slowly stood up and said, "To be honest, our Spider Demon clan was born when the Dream Weaver passed through this plane thousands of years ago, and has continued to multiply until now."

"Oh, that's right, this little guy is the direct descendant of the Dream Weaver."

Rhodes smiled. He didn't expect that his guess was right. The Dream Weavers had indeed been to this plane and had even bred a tribe.

Xiaobai is the direct descendant of the Dream Weaver and has inherited the Dream Weaving legacy. So, rounding it off, he must be the ancestor of these spider demons, right?

If that's the case.

Then the matter of the little spider demon will be easy to deal with.

"Have you seen our ancestors?"

The Spider Princess showed joy on her face and looked at the elders excitedly.

"Yes, but she has passed away, so she entrusted the child to me." Rhodes said tactfully.

"Fallen? How could it be..."

The Spider Princess's expression froze, and the elders were stunned for a moment.

Although they had been prepared for so many years, they were still unable to accept the news suddenly and looked panicked.

fortunately.

The Spider Demon Princess had obviously seen the world and had a strong psychological endurance, so she recovered in a short while.

"No matter what, as someone entrusted by our ancestors, you are our most distinguished guest. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to us!"

have to say.

Although the Spider Demon Princess looked tough, she had the manners of a princess and gave people a very comfortable feeling, which changed Rhodes' impression of the Spider Demon Tribe.

After thinking for a while, he said, "That's perfect. Please help me solve the problem of this little guy. He was abandoned outside by his father. If I hadn't found him, he would have died outside."

After saying this, he glanced at the spider demon leader beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

Upon hearing this, the Spider Demon Princess' expression turned visibly colder, and she looked at the Spider Demon Leader calmly.

"I know your story. Your wife died during childbirth because of this child, and his soul was damaged. So you cruelly abandoned him?"

"Yes."

The spider demon leader clenched his fists, then loosened them dejectedly.

He looked at the little spider demon with disgust and a hint of complexity, and directly admitted what he had done.

After listening to this, Rhodes suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he always thought his father was too cruel.

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Obviously, he blamed the little spider demon for his wife's death, which is why he hated it so much.

"Why bother?"

The Spider Demon Princess sighed, not knowing how to make a decision for a moment.

Instead, the elder beside her noticed her words and suddenly said, "Your Highness, Princess, you said that his soul is congenitally defective? But I don't think so at all."

In a word, all eyes were focused on the little spider demon.

The little spider demon, who was enjoying his meal nearby, was suddenly startled and quickly hid behind Rhodes.

That trembling energy did not seem like that of a damaged soul, and even his adoptive father frowned slightly.

"Excuse me, what is he doing..."

The Spider Princess looked at Rhodes inquiringly.

"Oh, you mean his soul? I just fixed it for him before." Rhodes said casually.

"..."

???

Just fix it?

Are you sure this can be fixed?
This is the soul!

The source of all life.

Even if a strong person from the Holy Land came, he might not be able to do it.

and many more.

Since he was the one who repaired the soul.

Doesn't that mean that the little spider demon's magical talent was also given by him?

Suddenly.

The Spider Demon Princess and the others looked at Rhodes with different eyes.

At the beginning, they didn't know why sacrifice could lead the tribe to prosperity. They only knew that this was the ancestral precepts passed down from generation to generation, passed down by their ancestor the Dream Weaver himself.

But now after hearing what Rhode said, they suddenly realized the reason. "How is it? Have you figured out how to solve it?"

Rhodes didn't think so much, he just wanted to give the little spider demon a good place to stay.

After all, this little guy's soul is too weak, and he was born in the material plane, so he can't be brought back to the Dream Forest at all. We can only find a good place for him as much as possible.

"This is easy. We were just planning to discuss this with you." The Spider Demon Princess looked at several elders and then recited the ancestral precepts of the Spider Demon clan.

Rhode's eyes lit up after hearing this: "So you plan to bring him back to the capital and train him to be the next generation of Spider Demon Priest?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

The Spider Princess' attitude was much more polite than before, even with a hint of respect.

Rhode didn't answer immediately, but looked at the little spider demon: "What about you? Are you willing to go with them?"

"Shasha~"

The little spider demon poked its head out from behind him, looking eager and a little reluctant.

The spider demon was a social species, and he subconsciously wanted to be recognized by his tribe. However, he was reluctant to be separated from Rhode and the others, and was hesitant for a while.

Rhode had no idea what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobai's hometown is here, we will come to visit you often."

Hearing this, the little spider demon suddenly became happy.

The little creatures, who were originally thought to be sad about the separation, also cheered and surrounded the little spider demon.

that's it.

The wandering little spider demon finally found his home and left reluctantly with the elders.

As for his father, he was also dismissed from his post by the Spider Demon Princess and seemed to have aged a lot.

"I hope you don't blame me." The Spider Princess whispered.

"Hehe... I am not a qualified father, nor a qualified husband."

The spider demon leader was in a daze. He left the palace step by step and disappeared on the busy street in a blink of an eye.

Watching his departing back, the Spider Demon Princess sighed and looked at Rhodes beside her.

“Are you satisfied with this result?”

"That's fine too. Let's wait until the little guy grows up and solve his own problems."

Rhodes nodded silently. The little spider demon was still young, so it was not appropriate for him to interfere too much in such matters.

With the guidance of the elders of the Spider Demon Clan, I believe the little Spider Demon will live well within the clan and no longer have to wander outside and starve like before.

I just feel empty inside and a little reluctant, after all, we have been together for such a long time.

But he did not forget another purpose of coming here.

After finishing all the matters, he asked the Spider Princess about the matters in the Kingdom of the Dead.

"Are you planning to visit the Kingdom of the Dead?"

"Yes, I received news that the undead seemed to be building a super-large magic circle, so I wanted to go and take a look."

Rhodes did not say anything about the Dream Forest because it was just his guess and he had to go and see it for himself to know.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Spider Demon Princess was very familiar with the situation between the two countries.

"I know about this. The Undead are indeed building a large magic circle, and it is a very rare space magic circle. The reason they are fighting with us is to obtain more magic stones for energy."

"Space magic array?" Rhode's heart trembled. "Have you found out the purpose of their doing this?"

"Their defense is very tight." The Spider Princess shook her head, "But I know where their magic circle is."

"where?"

"It's in an undead city not far from us. It's said to be used to connect to other planes. We don't want them to bring in more helpers, so we've been trying our best to stop them from getting more magic stones."

really.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

I am almost 70% sure that it is related to the Free City of Dreamwood.

But what puzzled him was why those guys in Liberty City didn't contact the plane of the Elf Empire, but instead contacted this plane that seemed farther away?
After thinking about it, Rhodes asked this question.

The Spider Demon Princess fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

"I'm not sure about this. Perhaps it's because our world is polluted, the spatial barriers are weaker, and it's easier to connect to other planes."

As someone like the Spider Demon Princess, she naturally knew that there were many dimensions in the world, so she didn't find it strange.

What they fear is that the Undead will bring help from other planes, especially the kingdom of the God of Death, the Abyss of Death.

If it really connects to the abyss of death, not to mention them, I'm afraid this world will be occupied by the undead and eventually become a dead place.

"Death Abyss?"

Rhodes took a deep breath. He had forgotten that this was a possibility.

According to Augula and the others, there are countless undead creatures living in the Abyss of Death, just like the Dream Forest where souls were everywhere.

Anyway, no matter which possibility it is, he must go and confirm it. It is estimated that the Wind Dragon Clan will arrive in Liberty City in the next few days.

And just when they were chatting heatedly.

A spider demon guard suddenly rushed in from outside.

"Your Highness, there is a group of human beings outside who claim to be representatives of the Holy Temple. They said they want to see you for something important."

what?
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and his expression became strange.

Temple representative?

Those charlatans who are at odds with the Moon God believers?
What are they doing here?
"Do you need me to refuse?"

Seeing his expression, the Spider Princess asked.

"Need not."

Rhode stood up slowly and said, "I have asked almost all the questions I need to ask, so I won't stay here to disturb you from doing your work."

"Then I'll send someone to escort you out."

The Spider Demon Princess was smart and wanted Rhodes and his companions to stay for a few more days.

But they knew that as long as the little spider demon stayed with them, they would see it again someday, so they did not force it to stay.

After sending someone to escort Rhodes and the others out from the other side, he stood up and walked outside.
