Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 957: Chapter 529: Ancestral Lord, I am willing Chapter 957: Chapter 529: Ancestral Lord, I am willing “So, you’re not His Majesty’s enemy? He sealed you to save your life?” Negris asked in surprise.

“Exactly, if I were an enemy, why not just kill me? Why seal me? My soul was shattered by an Annihilation Warlock from the Sorcerer Alliance through some sneaky method. There was no other way; His Majesty had to seal me inside an owl. However, the owl’s body is too weak, forcing me to molt and be reborn every few years. I’m constantly so sleepy I can barely take care of myself,” Silba rambled without much regard for Ange and the others’ identities, mainly because Feiti was proof enough. The Undead Empire in this world had been formed too recently, less than a thousand years ago, hardly enough time to foster the Lord of Mourning. Thus, Feiti could only be a loyal follower of the Monarch.

“So, the tree rice, did you graft that?” Negris was about to ask something else, but Ange couldn’t help but poke his back—other things could wait, let’s clear up the tree rice first, there’s no sense of priority, it’s killing the skeleton.

“Tree rice? What tree rice? You mean that fake tool that combines a tree and rice?” Silba asked, already aware that it was a trick.

“Yes, but we’re interested not in the tool but in the technique used to graft the tree and rice together. How did you manage to make them thrive?” Negris asked.

Silba glanced at him and then at Ange, suddenly yawning big, almost falling asleep.

Ange quickly offered him a handful of Elf Beans.

Silba instantly perked up, crunching the Elf Beans quickly but didn’t swallow them. Instead, he stuffed them in his mouth like a hamster and mumbled:
“After being sealed in this body, I thought of many ways to solve the sleepiness, but none worked, unless I devoured a small fatty sheep. The Old Immortal once said that if I could find Elf Beans, the energy they provide should sustain my activities, and indeed, he was right.”

Negris asked, “So, you’re sleepy because you’re hungry, and if you’re not hungry, you won’t be sleepy?”
