On the evening of the day when the airship arrived in Yani, the church was not the only place where people could receive food for free.

After taking over the government affairs system of Yani City and the soldiers of the garrison battalion, Seres immediately arranged for people to set up multiple food distribution points in the city, and imitated the experience of the church, only giving everyone food that can satisfy their hunger temporarily, and will not Let them eat thoroughly, and also ask to finish eating on the spot before leaving.In order to prevent scrambles and riots, they also arranged knights and soldiers at each distribution point to maintain order and deter civilians.

The disaster victims outside the city also received the same treatment. On Hill's suggestion, Siris also dispatched the clerk in the city to record and count the origin and family members of the disaster victims, so as to facilitate current management and future relocation.

While distributing free food, they also posted notices near the distribution point, using food as wages to recruit able-bodied residents to participate in urban reconstruction.

But in view of the inspection results of the three magicians, before the restoration began, they had to add a job—a job that could only be done at night, so as not to disturb others.

This kind of work officially started after it was completely dark. The host was Necromancer Barosh, and the participants were well-known bold people in the Knight Guards.Amir brought Kiki and Hill to attend the work as bystanders, but Calvin, another light magician, did not appear.

Hill was not originally on the list for this job, but he visited the contact tower at night, and just caught up with several magicians who were about to go out, so Amir jokingly sent an invitation to Hill and brought him along come out.

Before Hill came, he heard that the Magic Association seemed to be doing something at night, but even Joey didn't know the specifics of the matter.Joey just selected a dozen or so courageous young knights from the knight guards under the order of Sirius, and invited a few blue dragon army captains who seemed to be physically strong, and then took them to wait in Shuori. Square, waiting for the arrangement of the magicians.

Although the recent rainfall was not as frequent as in the days just after the earthquake, the sky was still full of dark clouds and the stars were hard to see this night.Therefore, when the dark and gloomy Barosh appeared in front of everyone in this dark and stormy atmosphere, most of the knights couldn't help shivering.

Fortunately, there is a normal and handsome Amir behind Barosh, which makes the knights believe that no matter what they want to do with this great black-robed magician, at least it should not be something horrible like being eaten alive matter.

But soon, the knights discovered that what they were about to face was far more terrifying than being eaten alive.

After counting the number of people and making sure that there was no more and no less, Barosh brought the knights to the worst-hit western corner of Yani City.

"Drive away all the living people, and then seal off this area." Barosh ordered.

—to drive away the living?

Barosh's words caused the knights to shudder again, but they accepted His Royal Highness's order to obey the orders of the great magician, so they had no choice but to follow the order and began to search for the remains at the corner of the ruined street. The "living people" living here dragged them from the broken bedding and rushed them to other blocks.

Since the houses here were the most damaged, not many residents remained here. The knights quickly emptied the area and provided Baros with a working space.

"What is he going to do?" Hill whispered in Kiki's ear.

"...something you probably don't want to see." Keech hesitated for a moment, and suggested very seriously, "Go back, Hill, there is still time to go back now."

"What's the matter?" Hill became curious, and refused to leave even more.

Keech had no choice but to answer vaguely: "Barosh...is a necromancer."

Unlike the confused knights, Kiki guessed what Barosh was going to do when he learned that the person presiding over this matter was Barosh, and the time was still night. what?It's nothing more than picking up dead bodies.Considering the death time of these corpses and the possible tragic situation now, Kiki immediately understood the meaning of Amir's phrase "scared to pee his pants".

"He wants to cast necromancy?" Hill asked with raised eyebrows.

"Probably." Kiki nodded, and then corrected, "She, not him."

Hilton's eyes widened at once, and he turned his head in surprise to look at Barosh who was about to start chanting the spell. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't believe that this was a female magician.

Just when Hill began to wonder what would make a woman willing to become the most unpopular necromancer and make herself into such a ghost, Barosh opened his lips and began to recite the complicated death spirit spell.

Hill and the other knights could only hear the sound of the spell, but Keech could already feel the resonance of the dark elements.

Soon, they were witnessing the spell's effects together.

A few minutes later, there were many noises such as clattering and creaking in the ruins.Accompanied by these sounds, are the changes from bottom to top of the ruins. Pieces of broken bricks and rocks were pushed away and pushed, and rotten and damaged corpses emerged from under the ruins, standing up straight as they did before they were alive. The body either moved slowly out of the ruins, or searched for its missing limbs like a living person.

Although there was no starlight or moonlight tonight, the knights could still see the appearance of these corpses with the torches in their hands.

With a sound of "crack", a knight dropped the torch in his hand because of panic, and sat down on the ground disregarding his face.A few others covered their mouths in disgust, trying to restrain the desire to vomit that kept rolling in their stomachs and intestines.

Kiki grabbed Hill's hand the moment he saw these corpses. Although Hill was still calm, the cold sweat in his palm revealed his nervousness and apprehension at the moment.

Keech hurriedly stretched out his other hand, and whispered in his ear, "It's just the effect of magic. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it."

"It's too late for you to say this, I've already seen it." Hill tried to force a smile, and teased himself.

Keech didn't know how to appease him, so he just said casually: "Then read more, and you'll be fine once you get used to it."

——How do you get used to this kind of thing!

Hill couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But as Keech said, these corpses did not stand for too long. The corpses with complete limbs walked out of the ruins first, and under the command of Barosh, they lay flat on the ground one by one.It didn't take long for the mutilated corpses to find their own bones and connect them to the mutilated parts. Then they left the ruins like the pioneers and lay flat on the empty street.

When there was no more movement in the ruins, Barosh stopped the spell, turned around, and once again ordered the pale knights: "Mark these corpses and carry them to the cemetery outside the city, and find someone to go there in the daytime tomorrow." Identify the corpse."

Hearing this order, the knights couldn't help but look at each other, and none of them dared to act.

"Hurry up, there's still a lot to deal with tonight!" Barosh urged impatiently.

--besides? !

The knights' eyes widened in horror, and they became more and more reluctant to step forward. Even the centurion commanders who were bragging about how many battles they had experienced before setting off hesitated in their steps, no longer being as bold as they were before setting off.

Seeing this situation, Amir coughed lightly, and said: "I understand everyone's anxiety, but please rest assured, they have lost the support of magic, and they will never 'act rashly' on the road."

Although Amir said this, it was difficult for the knights to be comforted by such an understatement. Amir didn't expect to be able to convince them with a single word, and immediately added: "Of course, it takes courage to do such a thing. And in order to commend your courage, the Magic Association will provide you with rewards with additional magic attributes for your weapons after this matter is over——according to the degree of courage, the effect of enchantment will also be different, and the bravest one must be Get the best rewards."

As soon as Amir finished speaking, a knight boldly asked: "What is the standard of judgment?"

"Quantity." Amir smiled slightly, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.After a little hesitation, those hundreds of riders walked out of the team first, setting a good "example" for the younger generations.The other young knights quickly followed suit and mustered up the courage to follow.

However, due to limited tools, they can only pick up the corpses from the surrounding wood planks.Fortunately, before coming here, every knight was ordered to wear riding gloves, so there was no need to touch the corpse directly at this moment.But when the work is over, none of them will probably want to keep the gloves, and nine times out of ten they will throw them into the fire and burn them to ashes.

Kiki was also sent over to help. He used the sticky notes that Amir had prepared to fill in the marks, recorded the source of the bones, and then pasted them on their bodies.

Hill once worried that he would also be sent to work, but Amir didn't make things difficult for him, and just kept him by his side, silently watching.

——Actually, letting him watch here is already the biggest embarrassment.

Hill thought to himself, and began to reflect on whether he had offended Amir recently.

After tossing back and forth for more than an hour, the knights cleared away the corpses here.In order to speed up, they also deliberately went back to Shuori Square and found several carriages that could transport the corpses.

But this is just the beginning. After the last corpse was moved to the cemetery, Barosh took steps to lead the crowd to the next block, repeating the previous round of actions.

It wasn't until the first ray of dawn appeared in the sky that Barosch stopped the trip, announcing that last night's work was over, and we will see you again at Shuori Square at the same time this evening.

The knights let out a mournful cry at the same time, and Hill couldn't help but tremble, and began to think about whether he could find a suitable reason to escape from this horrible job.

Last night, after all, Hill still didn’t dare to watch to the end. When he was in the second block, he took the initiative to help Kiki’s work, suppressing his nausea and timidity, and marking the corpses.Although this job made him stink of corpses, it also greatly changed the knights' impression of him. Even Joey couldn't help giving him a thumbs up secretly, praising his boldness.

When the group returned to Shuori Square, Amir did not tell them to go back immediately, but stopped them and made up for the instructions that Barosh had ignored.

"When you go back, please burn all the clothes on your body—attention, it's all, don't hold back because of temporary reluctance." Amir said with a serious expression, "Besides, I have to thoroughly Clean up the ground - the water used for bathing and the clothes to be washed, His Royal Highness has arranged for you to prepare it, and all you need to do is to strictly follow this process."

After finishing speaking, Amir let everyone go, only Hill was left behind.

"There will be another performance after dawn, are you interested in continuing to watch it?" Amir asked with a smile.

"Of course." Hill held back the corners of his mouth that wanted to twitch, and bowed in response, "Please tell me the exact time, Your Excellency Amir."

"After cleaning myself..."

"Come and contact the tower directly. Anyway, I also need to clean up, so why don't we go together." Before Amir could finish speaking, Kiki interrupted him, and then turned to look at Amir, and asked expectantly, "Is that okay?"

"...Do I have the heart to say no?" Amir raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Keech suddenly showed a happy smile, and led Hill to the communication tower.

Looking at their backs, Barosh walked up to Amir and giggled in her weird voice: "What a beautiful friendship, it reminds me of you back then."

"I'm not as stupid as him." Amir snorted coldly.

"Really? I think it's more than worse." Barosh said meaningfully, and then he took a step and followed Keech and Hill.

After taking a shower and changing clothes in the Contact Tower, Hill followed Amir and Kiki to Shuori Square again, and took a carriage to their destination.

This time, Barosh didn't follow, and Calvin, the light magician who didn't show up last night, appeared among them.

After arriving at the destination, Hill found that this was the block they had cleaned up last night.

Calvin stepped out of the carriage first, and pulled out a light magic wand from his magic robe.

Seeing this wand, Keech immediately thought of the one that Amir had asked him to make, but upon closer inspection, he denied this idea.Calvin's wand is neither the one he made nor Tina's handwriting. Although the structure is the same, there are many differences in details such as material selection. It is obviously the work of other alchemists.

Just as Keech and Hill stepped out of the carriage one by one, Calvin had already raised his wand and chanted a lengthy spell.

Kiki quickly stopped his daydreams and focused on observing the changes in the surrounding elements.

Different from divine spells created out of nothing, Calvin's light elements come from the hot sunlight, which may be the reason why he chose to cast spells at this moment.In addition, the light elements gathered by Calvin are far from being as pure as divine arts. There are a lot of fire elements mixed in, and they spread quickly to the entire block under the influence of a small amount of wind elements.

And the effect of this magic is annihilation, but its object is not people or things, but the remaining dark elements in the ruins.

"There are already signs of a plague here, and it must be purified with light magic, otherwise it will easily lead to plague." Amir explained next to him, "What Calvin is currently casting is the advanced magic of the light system—purification. .”

The author has something to say: reflect on the magic department in the article.

In addition to the four natural magics of wind, fire, water, and earth, there are also two unnatural magics, black and white, and another taboo magic that has not yet appeared.

Black magic corresponds to dark elements, and white magic corresponds to light elements.
