Travels of the Necromancer

Our group spent a lot of time and used various methods, but there was still no response from the space ring.I looked helplessly at the ring in my hand. Now this familiar magic item has become an ordinary metal, coldly reflecting light.

So I used earth magic to pile up a sand dune for the mercenaries to rest first.All sat silent in the shadow of the dunes, and now they all had good news and bad news.The good news is that we have found the reason for the disappearance of the previous caravan and mercenary team. The bad news is that our team is likely to be among the missing persons.

The unusable space ring meant we lost most of our water, food and tents.And soon I discovered that the magic circle and other space magic can't be used, and we don't even have a way out.After the hottest time at noon, I used the flying technique to fly to a high altitude to explore the surrounding terrain.There are no markers around except sand or sand, so I can be sure that we were thrown into the hinterland of the wasteland.

"I agree with the deduction of Noah and Chris very much." Ley said to the other mercenaries, "There are indeed people who use the detection magic circle. The fact that ordinary caravans can pass through the oasis can prove this from the side."

All the people sat together, and Nick insisted on being in charge of the peripheral vigilance after treatment.Lan's injury was not serious, and he disappeared after a simple treatment, probably because he was on guard in the dark.

"Select people who meet the requirements by detecting the magic circle, and then use the teleportation circle to send them to the hinterland of the wasteland, and shield the space magic so that they cannot leave." Noah then concluded.

In fact, we were not sent by the teleportation array. I wanted to correct him, but after thinking about it for a while, I chose to remain silent.

"And the purpose of the black hand behind all this, I think it is definitely not to starve us to death here, so it will have other actions." Noah continued.

"So, what we have to do now is to preserve our strength to deal with anything that might happen." Lay finally came to a conclusion.

To put it simply, it means "Everyone stop thinking about it, wash up and go to sleep!".Uh, maybe not, as things stand, we probably won't be able to shower for a while.

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

The bright moon is in the sky, and the continuous sand dunes are coated with a layer of silver moonlight, and the endless wasteland looks even more mysterious under the cover of night.

If those troubadours who are always noisy in the bar are here, they will definitely sing a lot of "gorgeous" poems that make people get goosebumps.However, if those guys are like me, they are thrown in the middle of the wasteland without water and food.I don't know if I will see the full moon in the sky as a piece of bread.No matter how beautiful the moon is now, in my eyes, it is definitely not worth the value of a piece of bread. A piece of freshly baked, oily bread is big and soft, and it is really...

"Your Excellency the Mage, although drooling at the moon is your personal hobby, as a teammate, I still want to remind you that it is best to save every trace of water in this situation."

Actually Ley?I wiped my mouth calmly, ignored the content of the words, and turned my attention to the owner of the voice.If I recall correctly, this seemed to be the first time he had spoken to me since joining the squad.

"I suppose you didn't come to watch the night in my stead?"

"How sure are you about this mission... in terms of your true strength." After a moment of silence, Ley asked me.

"Captain Rye seems to have finally realized that we've met before."

Ley didn't respond, just stared at me silently.

Well, I was defeated by those blue eyes again, so I put away my smile and answered him seriously: "The opponent is in the dark, and I have too little information. At present, I don't have any confidence to face an opponent." An opponent who can shield all space magic so perfectly, even... I can still use undead magic."

Undead magic is also related to space magic to some extent. The necromancer must summon the undead creatures from the sleeping place to his side.But unlike ordinary summoning, the necromancer signed a soul contract with the necromancer, and the summoning of the necromancer was through the connection of the soul.During the vigil, I have summoned several ghosts to explore the surroundings for me, and it has also proved that my summoning has not been hindered.This gave me some peace of mind, but it didn't mean I could defeat the man behind it.

And Lai frowned slightly when he heard the word undead magic, and I, who had been paying attention to him, naturally didn't miss this expression.

"Maybe, we won't be able to go back all this time." He whispered.

"If necessary, I can let your team members continue to 'live' in another form."

This sentence immediately drew a very strong reaction from Lai: "Listen to me, you bastard, don't even try to touch my people!"

"'Evil magic that blasphemes the dead', do you think so? This is indeed a very common point of view." I don't know why, but I feel very happy when I see Ley with fried hair, maybe it's because I don't like such things. Why is he more familiar?

"But the me in front of you seems to be desecrating your brother's body according to what you said. What are you going to do? In fact, I have always been curious why you didn't report me to the temple." Well, I admit that I continue I used this topic to stimulate him because I wanted to see more fried expressions.

But unfortunately, Lai soon recovered his facial paralysis: "If there is a way to drive you out of my brother's body, I will not be stingy with any means, but it is a pity that I cannot accept the method used by the temple."

Trying to suppress the nonsense of "I won't be cute when I grow up", I began to recall the punishments imposed by the temple on necromancers who used soul transformation to occupy other people's bodies.There are not many such examples, and there are a few times recorded in the literature that seem to be flogged to death first, and then "completely purified" with holy fire.

No wonder, Ley said he couldn't take it.I raised my head and wanted to express some emotion, but found that Lai had turned around and left, and didn't respond to my cries to stay. It really wasn't cute at all.However, a small bag appeared where he had been standing.

What's this?When I opened it, I found a few slices of bread and a small bottle of wine, which obviously belonged to Ley's ration.Because most of the dry food could not be taken out in the magic space, the mercenaries redistributed the food and water they carried with them.Everyone gets a limited portion, which leads to my desire dissatisfaction... well, that's still not the right word, but it definitely caused my emotional dysphoria.

Hating someone's soul but having to protect his body, what a struggle!Of course, it is also possible that Ley discovered that food is my weakness, and took the opportunity to poison the food to completely eliminate the "evil necromancer" and take back Kate's body.While thinking this way, I bit off the cork and took a sip of the wine.

Well, it tasted good, I licked my lips and began to bite into the bread.Then, I suddenly discovered that today's moon is indeed very beautiful.
