Travels of the Necromancer

"It's not summer now. Although it's not dangerous to go there, it's not a good idea. Moreover, this summer Kate will inherit the title and take over as patriarch. How about holding the two ceremonies at the same time?" Finally, Viscount Merkel suggested.

Unfortunately, the actual situation is that I will not inherit any title at all, and I don't have so much time to wait until summer, and the longer it is delayed, the more likely other situations will occur, which will be unfavorable to me and Ley.However, from the expressions of other people, there seems to be something wrong with the place called "Silver Moon Castle".So, I didn't make a statement right away, and the meeting ended in a less than harmonious atmosphere.

The elders kept a straight face and left in order of rank. Only Viscount Merkel smiled kindly when he passed by me.I have to say that although his appearance is very ordinary, his bright eyes are impressive.

Now there are only real "our own people" left in the restaurant, and we no longer stick to noble etiquette. Ley and I stepped forward to hug Ceuta, and he punched me in the chest and said with a big smile: "It seems Good experience outside!"

After the pleasantries, we talked about the current situation.

"The elders seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction." Speaking of those elders, Ceuta frowned.

"The elders represented by Viscount Raul are dissatisfied that Master Kate came back so late, and the rest are dissatisfied that he can come back alive." Rhodes took off his glasses again and wiped them carefully. The language of this action is particularly sharp.

"It might be easier to do things if I told them I was giving up my inheritance."

"It will only lead them into a fight and make things more confusing. My suggestion is to tell them the established result after the successor is chosen."

"Rhode, will they be willing to accept the established result by then?" Ley asked.

"Master Lai, please leave this to me!" Rhodes stood up and saluted Lai.

"Hehe, you can rest assured and leave it to him, this guy is really good at dealing with his own people!" Xiuta said with a smile.

Rhodes didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Ceuta, as if there were food residues that hadn't been cleaned up on his face, and Ceuta stared back without hesitation.

"Uh, I still have a question, what exactly is Silvermoon Castle?" I coughed and interrupted the "crackling" eye contact between the two elders.

"Master, that is the birthplace of the family, so important ceremonies such as the patriarch's succession ceremony will be held there. To show solemnity, the ceremony for Master Lai to restore his surname should also be held there." Hearing my question, Luo De regained his serious expression.

"Is there something wrong with that place?" I thought about Merkel's words carefully, and grasped the main point. "It seems that you can only go there in summer."

Rhode's voice hesitated for the first time: "Actually, I don't know very well, it seems to be cursed by the family's political enemies."

"That's not what I know. It is said that it happened 50 years ago. A woman who loved the old Earl committed suicide in the castle. Her soul has been wandering in the castle and turned into a powerful wraith! "

"Ceuta? Caesar! How can you speak such unfounded rumors in front of the young master!"

"Honesty is one of the codes of chivalry. I just told Kate everything I know."

Seeing that the two elders seemed to be quarreling again, I had to stop it again.I looked at Rhodes with great sincerity: "Rhod, you know, my memory is not complete, but I believe in you just as I believe in Uncle Ceuta and his knight code. Everything you say, I will think it is true .”

Finally, Rhodes lowered his eyes slightly: "Indeed, some people in the family believe this rumor, and think that Countess Anne, your grandmother, was killed by this so-called wraith."

"So this wraith often hurts people?" In other words, it has already materialized, at least it is a mid-level ghost.

"It is said that it is safe there in summer, but if someone goes to the castle to spend the night in other seasons, then 'she' will kill one person every night, and there will never be less than a hundred people who died inexplicably in the castle."

"Such a high frequency?" I was also a little surprised.It is a habit for undead creatures to hate living beings, but there is still a certain period for a single undead creature to "forage", especially the ghost-type undead creatures.

"Does that mean it's dangerous there?" Ley frowned upon hearing this.

"Maybe it is for us, but it is not for you." Ceuta took the words.

Seeing my puzzled gaze, Rhode adjusted his glasses and explained: "In the past 50 years, most of the victims were servants of the castle, and there were also visiting guests, but none of them were descendants of the Russell family. From the first In other words, 'she' will not harm the bloodline of the Roselle family."

"It really is a very infatuated ghost!" Killing so many people should have accumulated a lot of soul energy.Accurate selectivity shows that considerable intelligence is reserved.I have to say, the legend of this ghost has piqued my interest again.

Before Ceuta came back, Ley and I were still a little worried that he would not be able to accept Kate's renunciation of inheritance rights, but he didn't blame us—although he beat me to death in the martial arts field after the meeting in the name of "testing the progress of martial arts" Miserable.Rhodes, who said that he would not forgive us, actually did not take any action, and even called the family healer in advance to wait by the side of the martial arts training ground.

After my treatment, I went back to my room.Although I have been busy all day today, I don't want to rest yet.Some speeches of the elders at the meeting made me very concerned. I was thinking about the solution and suddenly remembered some materials I threw in the magic space.Those materials have been dealt with almost, and I have tested the characteristics many times, which can just solve this problem.

So, I worked all night and finally got a small bottle of the finished product.Staring at the bubbling dark green juice in the crystal bottle, I nodded in satisfaction, then rang the bell to call the servant, and asked him to invite Lai to my room, and I wanted to have breakfast with Lai.

Lai also looked tired, and it seemed that he didn't have a good rest last night.

"Is there something wrong with calling me so early?"

"Does my brother need a reason to invite my brother to eat together?" I waved the servants out before continuing, "Okay, don't stare at me anymore, I'm looking for you because of yesterday's incident."

"You don't need to worry about Silvermoon Castle. It doesn't make any difference to me where the surname restoration ceremony is held. We just need to convince the elders to hold it here. But choosing an heir is more troublesome, Luo I have read the materials prepared by Germany several times, but I still can't make a decision."

"Hehe, when will you be worried about wraiths when you see a necromancer? If you are the heir, of course you still need to meet and get in touch, but I am not here today because of these insignificant things." As I said, I took out the crystal bottle.

Lai stared at the juice in the bottle, expressionless: "Are you planning to poison those elders? I have no objection to this idea at all, but just want to remind you that it is better to change to a colorless and odorless poison."

Is this like poison?I glanced at the liquid in the crystal bottle again, and it was indeed similar: "Although I really want to poison them to death, this bottle of medicine is for you."

"Oh, so you want to poison me to death. It's a pity that our contract has not been completed, and my soul cannot be handed over to you for the time being."

I should probably applaud Rye for his rare sense of humor, but now is not the time: "The scars on your face are supposed to be from enchanted weapons, so ordinary healing spells can't be removed. The ingredients of this medicine are cannibals The sap of the tree, which is extremely restorative, should heal the scar."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"You know, although I knew that your focus is always different from ordinary people, but occasionally you still feel powerless." After a while, Ley said, and then sat down.

"Didn't those old guys still laugh at you yesterday?" I handed him the crystal bottle, "Although scars are men's medals, I think you should keep a low profile and don't just hang medals on your face."

"I'm really defeated by you." Lai took the bottle with a helpless tone, but showed his first smile these days.But when his eyes shifted to the crystal bottle, he frowned again, "The raw materials for this thing are those you collected in Westward Wilderness?"

I nod.Lai pulled out the stopper of the crystal bottle, sniffed it, and immediately raised his head to look at me. Although he didn't say anything, his brows frowned even deeper.I don't know why, but I have a feeling of being rejected.
