Travels of the Necromancer

The black mist was rampaging in the transparent light curtain, but it was already at the end of the road, and the surrounding black flames were getting higher and higher.Finally, the shapes of the five sense organs on the black mist slowly twisted and dissipated, and finally turned into gray pure soul energy.

So, I stopped singing, and the black flame disappeared immediately.And Naus at the side stepped forward slowly, I opened the magic barrier, and watched the soul energy being sucked into the helmet bit by bit by Naus.

Last time, I gave bread to the earth dragon's soul. As the only harvest of this adventure, I naturally gave this pot of chicken soup called "Dial" to Naus.

Although he is a high-level necromancer, Dial's soul energy is only equivalent to that of an ordinary magician.The reason is simple, the level is not enough but the artifact is overused, and the artifact cannot get enough magic power, so it relies on devouring the user's soul to maintain balance.This also explains Dial's sometimes cautious and sometimes crazy character, his soul has long been incomplete.

Realizing this, I am thankful that I escaped the Book of Truth in time.

Leaving Naus slowly absorbing the soul energy, I left the magic space and returned to the room.It happened at this time that Nick came to me and asked me to attend the celebration banquet held by the Mercenary Guild.

This time, the Ford team suffered a lot, but after all, they completed the mission of the mercenary guild and rescued the missing mercenaries.And in the mouth of the priests of the Temple of Light, our achievements have even risen to: "Down with the evil necromancer and stop his evil conspiracy to rule the entire continent."

This priest even wants to award me and Ley with the Temple's Medal of Courage.When I heard the news, I was really worried. If I go to get this medal, let alone whether my identity will be discovered, I will definitely be ridiculed by the teacher when I return to Dark Night Swamp.

Fortunately, Lai rejected the priest's proposal at that time: "My lord priest, it is our honor to receive your praise. But just like the teaching of the temple, everyone who bathes in the light has the obligation to eliminate evil. We Just did what we were supposed to do, and the real heroes are those who died in this battle."

It is said that when Ley said these words, he was extremely righteous.In fact, when he explained to the mercenary guild how we defeated Dial, he had already shown his superb ability to open his eyes and tell lies, his eyes were in place, and there were no loopholes at all.

Although the old man Lodi pushed back and forth when we asked for help, he was quite generous at this time.The celebration banquet was very lively, with dazzling magic lights, cheering crowds, and of course the delicious food that attracted me the most.Dozens of barrels of high-quality ale, various fruits, and the favorite barbecue of mercenaries.The roasted lamb with its head and hooves removed, and the whole roasted suckling pig are golden and burnt, making people move their index fingers when they look at them.

But to eat these things, I have to find a way to squeeze out the crowd first, because Ley and I were treated like heroes and surrounded by the crowd in the middle of the venue.The wounded who have recovered physically also participated in the celebration. They expressed their gratitude to us with warm hugs and cheers.

My mind was full of thoughts like "the barbecue will be cold if this continues", I stood helplessly in the field, accepting the cheers, and had to suppress my disgust and anxiety about physical contact with strangers.In fact, I should like physical contact, such as when hugging someone.Is it because someone is more comfortable to hug, or is it because he was the first person I hugged, just like some people recognize the bed?

After finally getting through this period of time, I was finally able to pounce on the food, and the delicious food really comforted me, so it was better to leave the speech to Lai.

Through this mission, the Ford team should be able to become famous in the mercenary world like the previous skeleton team. I don't know if Ley will change the name of the team to the westward team, the wasteland team or something.

However, on the second day of the celebration, another explosive news caused a sensation in the entire mercenary world, or rather the entire world—the miracle came again, and the Skeleton City was completely purified!

As a necromancer, I am naturally very concerned about this matter.Judging from the information I have collected, this incident really has something to do with the Skeleton Squad.Since the mission of Skull City became famous in the mercenary world, this mercenary team has no other news, and gradually fell silent.This is of course related to their strength. As a former collaborator, I know them very well. Although they are not vulnerable, they are definitely not up to the height of legend.

In fact, the treasure they found is enough for them to squander for a while, but it is not so easy to return to ordinary life after enjoying the title of hero.While I can't understand what there is to be happy about in the cheers, applause and flowers, most people seem to enjoy it.

So, in order to get more honor, the skeleton team returned to the skeleton city.However, the Skeleton City at this time was already crowded with adventurers of all kinds, and naturally they couldn't find anything of value.So the Skeleton Squad headed to a more central, more dangerous area.The consistent high-profile behavior of the skeleton team has attracted a large number of adventurers to follow them into the central area, hoping to get a share of the action.There, these fools did not know what they did, but they caused a riot of undead creatures.

The undead creatures left Skeleton City in large numbers, and after destroying Juniper Town, they began to attack the Kingdom of Versailles, which is the closest to Skeleton City.The high-level undead creatures in the central area started to move even during the day, trapping the adventurers and causing a large number of casualties to the adventurers.

After such a situation arises, it is of course impossible for the Temple of Light to sit idly by.The High Priest of Versailles immediately led the Knights of Light to the city attacked by the undead creatures.While the Knights of Light were helping the city's defenders to defend against undead creatures, the high priest personally led nearly a hundred temple priests into the central area of ​​the Skeleton City to arrange a magic circle for purification, and this magic is still, Requiem.

There are different levels of requiem. The one used by Freya can only purify a single undead creature, while the requiem of the forbidden level can purify the entire city.According to the teacher, it was because the requiem song was reversed 300 years ago that this city of the dead was created. Now that the temple uses the requiem song again, I don’t know if there is any sense of shame.

It is said that the original plan of the temple was to sing throughout the day, and at the moment of nightfall, the Skeleton City would be completely purified.However, there are usually exceptions to the plan.This time, the dark remnants who are "evil and have never given up their attempt to rule the mainland" jumped out again to disrupt the situation.The group of priests suffered a surprise attack and suffered heavy losses, and the purification spell was in danger of failing.

Then, the most exciting part came.In this critical moment, in order to save the priests and adventurers in the city, the Versailles Empire, and the entire continent, the High Priest decided to sacrifice himself and launch the forbidden spell alone at the cost of burning his soul.

The great, wise and benevolent God of Light was moved by the high priest's dedication and courage, so after more than 300 years, the miracle of the God of Light came to the world again!

The miracle that fell from the sky turned the night into day, and the darkness and undead in the Skull City were completely purified.The adventurers are saved!The Kingdom of Versailles is saved!The whole continent was saved!

What are these things! !Seeing this, I finally couldn't bear it any longer, and threw the information in my hand on the table. What I paid for was not the hymn of the temple.

I don’t know what happened to the miracle, but the information hidden in it made me fall into deep thought.According to the teacher, miracles never happen casually, and every miracle is a preparation for the next step of the temple.The Skeleton City can be said to be a stain on the temple, but now, this stain has been wiped away.The High Priest of the Versailles Kingdom is also very noteworthy. Regardless of whether he used some method of burning the soul, he was able to successfully activate the forbidden spell alone. It seems that there is another magister in the Temple of Light.

The second wave of information focused on the High Priest named Lucian.Lucian is one of the twelve sages who first believed in the God of Light in the legend, and it is definitely not ordinary people who can be given this Christian name.

Looking at the information, it is indeed so.The high priest was originally a royal family of the Purple Wing Empire. At the age of ten, he resolutely abandoned his secular identity and entered the Temple of Light as an ordinary apprentice; at the age of 12, he became the youngest senior magician in the mainland, and at the age of 16, he became the youngest magician. At the age of 19, he became the youngest high priest; this year, he is only 21 years old, becoming the youngest magister again, and it is said that he may become the youngest red priest.

I, who is still just a wizard, can't help but be dazzled by this series of "youngest".

The information that followed was even more explosive.Lucian's father, Prince Philip, has been established as the first heir to the Purple Wing Empire, and as his direct son, if Lucian hadn't entered the temple, he might have inherited the most powerful empire in the world.And his mother's identity was also found out, it turned out to be a descendant of the King of Heroes!

The prince who gave up the throne for his faith, carrying the two most noble bloodlines in the East and the West, a genius in magic, a noble character of self-sacrifice, coupled with a supposedly handsome appearance, such a man seems to have no other words to describe besides perfection It is no wonder that people are madly infatuated and sought after by two continents.

His name is being recited in the streets and alleys, and bards from all over the world are composing music for him, and his portraits will be out of stock as soon as they arrive in the shops, so I haven't been able to see how "beautiful" he is so far.Even the Royal Repertory Theater wrote a new story featuring him, and even the script about the King of Heroes was dug out of the warehouse and rehearsed.

Yes, everyone is paying attention to the greatest hero since the King of Heroes, and who can notice that the reputation of the Temple of Light is also increasing day by day.

Although the Temple of Light has always controlled the Western Continent and tried hard to infiltrate the Eastern Continent, it is an indisputable fact that the influence of the Temple has been declining after the failure of the Western Expedition, especially since there have been no miracles in the past 300 years.

But now, with the miracle, the temple still needs to "manufacture" such a perfect idol to increase its influence. It can be seen that what they want to do next will definitely not be a trivial matter.

Therefore, when I received the latest news that the temple announced the resumption of the Western Expedition, I was not too surprised.The prediction made by the teacher a year ago was finally confirmed a year later.

This news naturally caused another shock, and the deeds of the Ford team's heroic elimination of the necromancer swayed in this overwhelming news, and disappeared without even breaking the waves.

I'm actually a little lucky. After all, the less famous I am, the safer it is for me. However, Noah and the members of Ford's team don't seem to be too disappointed. Everyone is still doing their own things step by step.

While we were debating what to do next, a guy I didn't know, but was acquainted with Ley and Kate, brought us a new mission
