Necromancer Farming Notes Figure Master

"Sinner?" The Duke and the other two were surprised when they heard this. They were now very sensitive to this word.

"What crime have you committed?" the prince asked directly.

“I am a member of a cult, but I have been infected with madness,” the woman said.

"Are you talking about epilepsy?" The Duke frowned and said. He remembered that this disease was very scary. After the onset of the disease, people would see stars in their eyes and die of mental exhaustion. And these stars were contagious.

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"How could the cult allow you to travel around? If you get sick, it would probably cause serious consequences, right?" asked the old general.

The woman pointed to her eyes. "My eyes are blocked. Even if I get sick, no stars will appear."

"Moreover, the cult has discovered that as long as people infected with madness do not despair in their hearts, the madness will not occur. So many people like me only need to put on atonement clothes to walk on the street."

“Although we will still face discrimination, there is still some hope, right?”

"Of course, if you three mind me, I can leave." The woman seemed to have given up on some decision, her tone a little weak.

"No, we don't mind!" said the Duke excitedly.

The prince and the old general were both a little helpless, but they didn't say anything.

The old general continued, "How did you get your madness?"

"I got infected when I was on the front line," said the woman.

"Is that so? Madness contracted in battle should not be dealt with too harshly. Otherwise, it might cause morale to collapse further." The old general seemed to be thinking about something, but he still felt it was a little strange. The way the cult handled the situation was hard to describe.

But at this moment, someone at the table next to them suddenly said, "Huh? I seem to have seen this sinner. When the sinner ceremony was held, I saw it..."

When the mysterious woman heard the words "Sinner's Ceremony", her face suddenly turned pale.

The Duke and his two companions were stunned for a moment. This ritual for sinners did not seem to be recorded in history books.

Seeing the bewildered looks of the three people, the guest next to them became interested. He smiled and said, "Remember the two large vats at the city gate? Sinners would wash there..."

"Shut up!" The prince suddenly stood up and stared coldly at the person who spoke.

The person who spoke was startled, and he looked at the prince with an unpleasant expression. "Do you want to speak for the sinner? Do you want to be infected with madness? We are already considered to be of good character for letting her get so close to us!"

In fact, he said this just to drive the sinner away, but his words touched the prince's sad heart.

Seeing that the prince's expression was becoming increasingly cold, the people at the next table hurriedly stood up, paid the bill and left.

"Thank you..." The mysterious woman sighed. Although she was used to discrimination, she still couldn't bear to have her past scars exposed again and again.

"Can you tell me why such a ceremony is held? Didn't you just say that as long as there is no despair in your heart, madness will not occur? Then why did the cult force you to do that kind of thing?" The prince was a little confused.

"This should be a psychological test!" said the old general. "People who can endure this kind of humiliation will hardly fall into despair. And people who can't endure this kind of humiliation will probably go crazy on the spot."

"Yeah... I have always had a strong desire to survive! Even if I become dirty, I want to live..." The mysterious woman smiled.

"No! You are not dirty! Your soul is noble! You fought against madness on the front line and protected many people. You should not feel guilty. Those who should feel guilty are those who accepted your protection and treated you coldly instead!" said the Duke excitedly.

"Hmph! That's easy for you to say! Have you ever seen what a person infected with madness looks like when he or she is sick? My niece was infected by the madness outbreak and burned into a pile of bones. The reason why you can talk without any pain in your waist is because you have never been infected! If you were infected, you wouldn't say such sarcastic words!"

"In my opinion, it would be irresponsible of us if these sinners didn't die immediately after being infected with madness!" The diners around stood up and began to attack the Duke and his companions.

A few tears flowed from the mysterious woman's eyes, and she slowly stood up and prepared to leave. Every time she mustered up the courage to come to the crowd, she would always face this situation. She was used to it. At least this time she met three good people who did not dislike her right away. But her existence must have brought them a lot of trouble, right?

"Where are you going?" the Duke asked, standing up.

"I... am going to work," said the woman.

The Duke immediately followed. The prince and the old general also stood up. They packed their dishes, paid, and left.

After seeing these people leave, the diners around stopped abusing them, but they still talked about the four people.

Walking on the streets of the lower town, the woman found that the Duke was still following her.

"Why are you doing this? I'm not that fragile. I've seen a lot of things like this." The woman said calmly.

"Ahem, sorry." The Duke blushed, and he didn't know why he followed the other person. To be honest, although he had seen many beauties, none of them could touch his heart as deeply as the one in front of him.

The Duke and his wife were in a political marriage, and although they appeared to be in love, in fact, it was all just a superficial effort.

When they sat together in private, they might not even say a word. The Duke even knew that his wife had a lover in private. But the Duke didn't care. Giving each other some space was good for everyone. There was no need for the two to torture each other.

But I don't know if it's the Duke's problem or the Lady's problem, the two of them have never had any children. But the Duke doesn't care about this. Anyway, his title is not inherited, and if he steps down, it is highly unlikely that someone from his branch will become a Duke again.

So the Duke's heart has always been quite empty. He has never experienced true love. He has not had any casual relationships with men and women like his wife. People like him are old-fashioned and boring.

But even so, looking at the mysterious woman in front of him, the Duke knew that his destined person had come. But sadly, he was now old and no longer as handsome as he used to be. And having lost all his status and wealth, he no longer had the courage to pursue such a beautiful woman.

Just when the Duke was at a loss, the prince and the old general arrived with food.

"You..." The mysterious woman was a little surprised.

"There's a big rock over there. We can eat there," said the prince.

"Then you guys eat first. I'll leave first." The mysterious woman was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the prince.

"Don't worry, I bought you some food too. Let's eat together if you don't mind."

"?" The woman opened her mouth slightly in surprise. "Aren't you afraid?"

"What is there to be afraid of? It's just death. It's not like I haven't experienced it before." The prince smiled and placed the lunch box on a big rock.
