Of course, that was only why there were so few Undead Spirits now.
Hill felt that this world had not yet reached the point where neutral souls could no longer be found.
It was simply that these Mage Towers had learned to behave after so many years of covert conflict with Sia Tower.
They had probably learned Lathander's nature through various channels, so they did not dare let commoners die at will during this period.
Though it was somewhat helpless, the suffering of commoners had never been a problem for Mages.
Even for those nearing the end of their lifespans, the issue could be resolved through very cheap means... It was not as though they were being returned to youth. A few extra months of life was all it took.
And in this world, even mortals living relatively decent lives had basically no chance of reaching a natural end to their lifespan.
Food shortages, harsh environments, and nerves constantly stretched taut with fear all did tremendous harm to mortals.
Mages did not even need to spend longevity potions. They merely had to replenish a little vitality for these mortals.
In other worlds, it was not so easy for mortals to escape death.
This was a world where, aside from Mages, old people were simply nowhere to be seen.
Hill smiled as he sensed the stagnant air and awkward atmosphere in the City of the Dead.
He actually knew what the River Styx was considering... That fellow was probably planning to crush every recently emerged Undead Spirit from the Evil Alignment into dust and use them as flower fertilizer.
After all, no one knew whether any soul might bear traces of Devils.
Though the River Styx had never cared about such trivial matters, that did not mean he would show mercy
