Inspector Lowell stood barefoot on the roof of the Town Hall, silently watching the undead "brawl" two streets away.

Tireless and relentless, these undead were equally noisy both during the day and at night.

Well… perhaps it was more than just noisy…

After being around them for a few days, Lowell could no longer judge these undead to be monsters that had to be eradicated. However, he couldn't exactly consider them friendly either.

As far as it seemed, these special undead displayed extremely high aggression, but it appeared to be directed mainly toward other monsters and themselves. Toward living humans, they still seemed relatively safe. However, if Exile Town wasn't situated in an isolated area but close to the Duchy of Shiga, Lowell was certain he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly at night.

Lowell believed that no settlement of intelligent races would willingly be neighbors with these undead.

Even if they weren't attacked, the constant activity day and night was enough to drive anyone insane.

This was also something Lowell found extremely hard to comprehend—what exactly was Black Mage Yang's purpose in summoning these undead?

If it was to create an undead calamity, then these "Taranthan Undead" weren't chaotic or aggressive enough.

But if he wished to establish a territory, then these "Taranthan Undead" were far too chaotic and disordered, and a tad too aggressive.

Considering his observations along the way and what he had seen and heard upon arriving in Exile Town, Lowell came to the conclusion that Black Mage Yang, who was surely up to something, had gathered a batch of special undead, a group of dubious characters with unclear origins, and a batch of the elderly, weak, and disabled abandoned by human society to play house in the lawless no-man's-land of Taranthan.

…This conjecture was incredibly absurd, but no matter how much thought Lowell put into it, he couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.

But even if he reluctantly accepted this conjecture, there were still many parts that didn't make sense.
