In the Age of Demons, undead magic was widely used like other magic. People did not regard it as evil, but regarded it as a part of life.

When a child is born or married, people will invite necromancers to summon the ghosts of deceased ancestors to tell them the good news, or pay necromancers after the death of their loved ones to turn them into undead creatures to continue to accompany them, of course , which requires the permission of the deceased person to proceed.

People at that time were also very open to the fact that the body was made into magic raw materials after death, and they would not think it was a blasphemy against the dead.Of course, some people will use undead magic to do evil, just like using other magic to do evil. Magic is just magic, just like a knife is just a knife. Whether it is used to chop vegetables or kill people, it is not the fault of the knife itself. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia·History"

The next morning, Phils packed his luggage early and urged them to get on the road quickly, looking back from time to time, as if some monster was about to catch up.

"What's the matter, did you offend your enemies?" Evandel asked with a smile.

"It was the waitress yesterday. I don't know why. She clung to me and refused to let me go. I paid the money after I slept according to human rules, but she just refused to let me go. She would rather leave me. Even if the money is returned to me, I have to marry her." Firth looked back with lingering fear, and asked Avondel, "Speaking of which, what does marriage mean?"

"It means that two people swear to form a small family, live together, share property, and be loyal to each other, and never sleep with other people for life."

"It's okay to share property, and only sleep with one person in a lifetime? My God! I don't want to get married even if I'm killed!" Fiers exclaimed, "How can human beings have such strange customs?"

"This is not a strange custom, but a cooperative method of mutual compromise in order to use limited resources to feed offspring. It allows men to ensure that the children they give birth are their own blood, and they are willing to invest resources for this. Although there are many disadvantages , but obviously the efficiency is not bad, just look at the human population growth.”

Evandel felt a little emotional. Many girls who work in the hotel will also do some flesh and blood business because of the difficult life. They are trampled on like weeds on the side of the road. Many of them have never felt valued or valued since they were young. The feeling of cherishing, suddenly meeting a man like Phils who is so sweet and coaxing, who treats each other like a queen, even if he is not tall and has dark skin, even if he knows that he is just a passerby, it is inevitable that he will be deeply involved.

Evandel mourned for three seconds for the girl who was doomed to a sad ending, then suddenly thought of something, and asked the elf ranger who had been silent all this time: "Alkay, where is your wolf?"

"Let it go back, the human environment is not suitable for it." Alkai said, looking back at the way he came, "...someone is coming."

Evandel also turned his head, but saw nothing: "How many people?"

"Three horses," Alkay replied curtly.

Sure enough, after a while, they saw three cavalry running from a distance on the road behind them.

Palos was so familiar with the appearance of those people that he could recognize them even from a long distance. They had silver and bright full-body armor, and a radiant red sun emblem was painted on their chests—members of the Knights Templar.

Palos immediately became alert, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword, Evandel said softly: "Don't panic, they may not recognize us, even if they happen to be your acquaintances, the worst result is nothing more than a fight, do you think we Will you lose?"

Palos shook his head and let go of the sword in his hand. Evandel led them to give way to the grass on the side of the road, hoping that the other party was just passing by, but those cavalry slowed down when they approached them. The Templar asked, "Who are you?"

"Good day, gentlemen," said Avondel calmly. "I am a traveler, and I am going to the city of Ashmore in the north."

Several Templars looked at each other on the horse, and one of them took out a scroll that was clearly a wanted notice from his saddle bag to compare their appearance.

Evandel seemed to be a well-educated and pampered young master. He was handsome and well-behaved. He was somewhat similar to the mage they were looking for, but except for the gray cloak that eight out of ten people on the road would wear, He doesn't fit the description in his attire, and he's not blond either.

The few next to him seemed to be his entourage and bodyguards. The tall archer only had half of a girl-like face exposed under the hood, but he was well-equipped and calm, so he was not easy to mess with. The brown-haired young man was dressed much more shabby, standing behind the master with his head bowed and low-key, as cautious as a novice traveling for the first time, but the little man in the green turban looked a little suspicious.

The leading Templar frowned and looked at Fiers and asked, "Why are you so dark?"

Firth said in a fuss, "What's the fuss, I'm a black man, have you ever seen a black man who is not black?"

"I've never seen such a short black man."

"There are always exceptions." Fiers shrugged and said relaxedly.

The Templar originally wanted Phils to take off his hood to have a look, but the companion next to him said to him: "It can't be them, don't waste time, let's go!"

They took a step ahead on horseback and quickly disappeared at the bend in the road. Evandel also continued to drive forward, muttering, "How did you find this place so quickly? I always feel that this is not normal. Every time Just when I think I've got rid of them, there's always a new Templar coming up."

Phils said: "Yes, the world on the ground is so big, did they use all their strength to hunt us down?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Palos said, "The Templars don't have so many spare men. We...they have many important people and places to guard, and it's unlikely that they will send all their troops to hunt you down."

"Maybe..." Evandel's sight was suddenly attracted by something, and he deviated from the road and walked to a pile of rubble beside him.

"It seems that I am very lucky today, it is actually a crystal orchid." Evandel squatted down, and pushed aside the grass to reveal a small cluster of snow-white plants. "This is a very expensive, and it is not easy. Help me find all the materials you bought, be careful not to step on them.”

So they put down their luggage, and began to concentrate on searching for the plant Avandel mentioned in the piles of dead leaves and grass. Every time they found a cluster, the mage carefully dug it out with a medicine shovel and put it in a small tree. Put it in the box.

It took them more than half an hour for this, before they returned to the main road, and after walking for a while, they saw a dead man.

A broken scooter full of straw overturned on the side of the road. The deceased was leaning on the scooter. The tendons in both feet were severed, and a hole was stabbed in the stomach. The blood flowed all over the place. Judging by the dress, it should be It was a nearby farmer, and apparently suffered a long time before his death.

"What's going on, is it a robbery?" Palos stepped forward to check the situation of the deceased.

The roads of this era are not very peaceful, goblins, robbers, rebels, all kinds of unstable factors are lurking in every deserted wilderness, and those who are rich will not dare to go out without hiring a few bodyguards. The poor are left to their fate, and it is not uncommon to die on the road like this.

Evandel frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed, and said to the others, "Let's go."

Palos thought for a while, stepped forward and said to the mage, "...Evandel, I don't think this is an ordinary robbery."

"Of course not." Evandel said without squinting. "No one would rob such a poor man who doesn't even have a donkey and can only pull a broken cart by himself. If it was a goblin, his body would have been dragged back for food No, let alone abolish his feet on purpose."

"Then do we need to investigate?" Although Palos felt that it was best not to be too fussy in their current identities, he still couldn't help but be a little concerned.

"I think I know who did it." Evandel said, "The few Templars who passed by just now became suspicious of us, and they were not sure, so they stabbed this passer-by and cut his tendon to let us go." He couldn't leave, if it wasn't because I found those rare herbs and wasted time to gather them, he should still be alive when we got here, they knew I wouldn't die."

Palos said in disbelief: "...they killed an innocent passerby, just to prove that you are the person they are looking for?"

Although the previous understanding of the church has been completely overturned, seeing the Knights Templar do such a thing still makes Palos feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Not all Templars are so vicious. I believe there must be many people as upright as you in the Templars." Evandel said, "Rafazi and his mage-stalkers are the most important part of the entire Temple. The most notorious group of people in the Knights, the Knights Templar's bad reputation among the people is largely caused by them, as long as someone tries to hide the wild mage they want to capture, they will mercilessly kill The hiders were tied to the stake and burned to death to deter those who dare to hinder their pursuit. They don't care about killing innocent people indiscriminately, and even push suspected wild mages off the cliff to verify whether they can cast spells , If the victim casts a spell to save his life, they will be shot to death on the spot with a crossbow, if he fails to cast a spell and falls to his death, although he has proved that he is not a wild mage, he also lost his life in vain."

Maybe Evandel said these words to comfort him, but it didn't make Palos feel better at all.

"I'm afraid we can't go down the road again," said Avondel. "They know I'm here, or they wouldn't have set up a game like this to try me. I don't think we could beat the four of us, I'm sure. They just started arresting us."
