Travels of the Necromancer

So, I closed the book "History of Etiquette Development" in my hand.In the era in which Naus lived, the hand-kissing ceremony was not only a courtesy for men to women, but also a courtesy for bishops.As a member of the Light Knights of the former temple, it is not surprising that he would use such etiquette to me. Perhaps the object of his original allegiance was a bishop.

Sure enough, there is no end to learning!While I was sighing, Noah came back with his sword.Since he was able to get out of bed, he resumed his daily swordsmanship practice. Things like strength never fell from the sky.

"How is it today?"

"It's almost back to the original level." Noah did seem to be in good condition.

"Then, it's time for us to leave here." With the continuous influx of adventurers, it has become more and more difficult to capture high-level undead, and the temple has no intention of taking any action from the beginning to the end. There is no point here.

"I'm leaving!" Noah said with emotion.

"If you still have a treasure map here, I don't mind staying for a few more days."

"I really don't have it, and I don't want to have this kind of thing anymore." Noah smiled bitterly, and the number of times he smiled bitterly seems to have increased recently.

"By the way, Noah, you won't go back to the Holy Sword, will you?" With Noah's situation, it is probably impossible to return to the Holy Sword.But if he still wants to go back, I think I will persuade him out of the responsibility of my companion.I don't like the Holy Sword Mercenary Group, not because of the encounter between Ley and Kate, but because of the problems of the Holy Sword itself.

For example, I heard the news that because of the huge gains made by the Skeleton Squad in Skeleton City, Holy Sword has set up dozens of mercenary squads, which are completely composed of newcomers.It's not surprising that there are rookies in the team. After all, no matter how experienced a mercenary is, they came from rookies step by step.But if the entire team is newcomers, it would be very strange without any experienced seniors to lead it. Such a team will have a high casualty rate.

This expansion method of Holy Sword is too aggressive.Although it has become the leader in the mercenary world, the foundation of the holy sword is relatively weak, and because of its tough methods in the process of expansion, it has made many enemies, so it is not as good as it looks on the surface.

"I won't go back, I plan to be a freelance mercenary in the future." Then Noah looked at me, "Chris, what about you?"

"I think I have expressed my attitude a long time ago. A knight and a mage are a good combination." I smiled.Then he raised his hand to Noah, and Noah also smiled, and walked over to give me a high five, completing the simple ceremony between the mercenaries.

The next day, we packed our bags and said goodbye to Emma.Repeating the doctor's orders, the fat, always smiling lady gave each of us a warm hug and invited us to come see her again.Noah agreed to her very seriously, and I was noncommittal.

"Since you don't have a treasure map anymore, I'll decide the next destination."

"Chris, it seems that you already have a goal."

"My target is the city of Kent in the Purple Wing Empire of the Eastern Continent."

"I've never heard of this place, is there anything special about it?"

"You haven't heard of it? The cakes there are famous far and wide, especially the chocolate cakes, which can be called the best in the Eastern Continent." I took out the "Eastern Continent Food Index" from the space ring and gave Noah a nod.

"..."

"Why didn't you talk all of a sudden?"

"I'm considering the possibility of changing companions."

Well, anyway, it's a big improvement for the knight to learn to joke, isn't it.

---------------------------

When I controlled the tornado I summoned and chopped the huge earth puppet in front of me to pieces, Noah had also accurately hit the core of another earth puppet, causing it to collapse into a pile of broken earth.

Then there is the manipulator behind the scenes.After solving the puppet, Noah immediately rushed to the position of the manipulator, while I followed slowly, leaving the physical work to the knight.

When I got there, Noah had already pointed his sword at the earth magician.There is a saying, it seems that "the magician who gets close can only tremble", but there is no need to tremble like this, I decided to despise this fat body trembling, and constantly shedding tears and snot guy.

"Please, let me go! If you take me back, those fools will definitely kill me!" The fat pig-like magician lay on the ground trembling, and suddenly stretched out his hand in my direction, wanting to Grabbing the corner of my robe, "How can those ignorant people understand the subtleties of magic? You are also a magician, so you must understand me!"

I immediately stepped back to avoid being touched by him: "Sorry, I don't think I understand, the racial difference is too big."

So Fat Pig realized that it would be useless to continue begging me, and turned his target to Noah: "Please, let me go, I really don't want to die!"

"Don't worry, we won't kill you, we will bring you back alive."

"Please don't do this! Those foolish people hate me to death. If I go back, I will be tortured to death. Please let me go! I promise, I can swear to the gods, I will never hurt anyone again !"

"Noah, please think about those villagers who died innocently. Compassion is certainly one of the most important virtues of a knight, but don't forget, so is justice." Seeing that Noah was quite moved by this level of words, I couldn't help but No words to remind.

"It is true." Noah said to the fat pig: "Although you have repented of your actions, this does not completely offset your crimes. But please rest assured that I will let the Mercenary Association and the villagers give you A fair trial."

Hearing Noah's words, the fat pig seemed desperate, and stopped begging, but sat on the ground with his head bowed and sobbed softly.But when he raised his hand to wipe his tears, I suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed him in the stomach.

"You...you..." Fat Pig looked at me with wide eyes in surprise, probably because he didn't expect me, a mage, to take such a direct physical attack.Then he fell down, and the magic crystal clutched in the hand that pretended to wipe his tears fell to the ground.

"After all, I don't use weapons very much, I accidentally stabbed it crookedly." I pulled out the dagger, looked at the fat pig twitching and fell to the ground, "Don't worry, you won't die right away, you can live for at least another hour .”

The fat pig couldn't answer anymore. He was twitching in pain on the ground, with blood foaming from his mouth.

Noah sighed, and stepped forward to end his pain with a sword: "Chris, I admit that he is indeed a hopeless villain, but because of this, there is no need for you to be stained with darkness for this kind of person." .”

"It's rare, and you will admit that he is incurable. I thought that anyone in your acquaintance could be rescued." I went forward and used freezing magic to freeze the fat pig's head so that I could cut off his The head will not be splashed with blood, "I have already said, there is no need to bring a living person back, it is more convenient to bring only the head,"

Noah didn't speak, but it was clear from his expression that he didn't agree with my proposal.I shrugged, finished the cutting process with a wind blade, then wrapped the head in a fat pig's robe and threw it to Noah. I don't want this kind of thing to dirty my magic space.

The more than a year of my cooperation with Noah is almost a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. He will try to change some of his words and deeds that are too idealized, and I will try to ignore his nagging.

But there is one thing that bothers me a bit, that is, after seeing my attitude of not caring about killing, Noah seems to think that I am a little obsessed with killing.In order to avoid my "psychological deterioration", he insisted on capturing prisoners alive even in tasks such as arresting wanted criminals, which added a lot of trouble for us to complete the task.But I can't tell him that in the eyes of necromancers, death is just the beginning of another journey, and there is nothing to care about.So I can only continue to seek common ground while reserving differences, and leave it to him to give the opponent the last blow.
