Travels of the Necromancer

At this moment, I am half lying on the bed, covered with a thick blanket, and other people are gathered around my bed.

"Are you really okay? Let me check for you." Erwin stared at me with concern in his eyes.

"Your Excellency, please don't worry, I'm fine, you don't need to waste your magic power for me." If you let you use light magic to check for me, I will really be "okay"!

But Erwin obviously misunderstood the reason for my resolute refusal, and he comforted me gently: "You don't need to doubt yourself, it's quite normal to feel fear when you meet undead creatures, it has nothing to do with qualities like courage, but rather Because the undead creatures themselves have the spirit magic of 'fear', people who do not use the spirit barrier are easily affected. I should have reminded you earlier, forgetting this is my omission."

Hey, I remember that I said the same thing to the skeleton team back then, when did I have to ask the priest of light to popularize the knowledge of the undead for me?Although I thought so in my heart, I still wanted to thank him. "Thank you for your concern. This matter has nothing to do with you. It is my own carelessness."

Erwin still seemed to want to persuade me to accept his treatment, but at this time Ley stepped forward and tucked the blanket for me, showing the brotherly love and at the same time separating Erwin without any trace: "This matter is indeed related to me. You have nothing to do, in fact, we have encountered many undead creatures in our mercenary career, and it was my brother who set up a mental barrier for everyone at that time, this time I think he was really too careless."

"Then Mr. Kate, please take a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, please call me immediately. By the way, if you really think magic healing is unnecessary, a glass of milk with sugar is also a good choice."

The others left my room one after another, when it was just me and Ley.At this time, the concern in Lai's eyes turned into a smile: "How about a glass of milk with sugar?"

"I don't need this, I'm not a frightened child!" Although after returning to the Roselle family, I often read some new jokes in the mercenary world attached to the information for Ley, which made him feel uneasy. So negative, but it doesn't feel good to be a "joke" yourself.

"But you can probably become the first necromancer in history to be stunned by the wraith." The smile in Lai's eyes grew stronger.

I gritted my teeth and decided to refute him with facts.Although today... oh, yesterday to be exact, it's already past 12 o'clock, and it is indeed the most humiliating day since I started traveling.

The man in the black cloak suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, and then disappeared in a flash.Merkel probably used the "Guardian of the Mind" in advance, so she was not affected at all and immediately caught up.But I was completely unable to act under the influence of "fear", so Merkel, who was halfway behind, had to turn back to check my situation.

"How are you?" I remember he raised his hand at that time, probably trying to use some kind of light magic on me.

So I stopped him immediately, "Don't worry about me, go after her!"

"But you alone..."

"She went in the direction of Erwin and the others." I tried my best not to let my teeth chatter, and said this sentence completely.Erwin and Oska are more dangerous than me as foreigners. Although they know how to deal with undead creatures better than ordinary people, I think Merkel also feels that she is not an ordinary undead creature.

Time does not allow Merkel to think too much, he immediately made a decision: "Be careful!"

After saying this, he also rushed to Erwin's direction, and of course he sent a magic signal for me to inform Ley and the others to come to me.

He is good at magic, he can send out magic signals so quickly and accurately, he should be at the level of an intermediate magician, and his figure is also very agile. I remember that his job should be a knight?Seeing that Merkel's figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, I let myself lean against the wall and slide slowly, and finally sat on the ground.Obviously my body is temporarily unable to get rid of the influence of spiritual magic, but I would rather stay alone than let outsiders discover my weak status.But by this time, I have not forgotten the responsibility of evaluating the heir, and I almost admire myself.

However, I soon regretted my dismissal of Merkel - she came back again.

With a slight wave of magic, she reappeared in front of me.Teleportation, she is a ghost mage?I tried my best to concentrate on thinking about countermeasures, but my body was even more affected, and I couldn't move at all except my heart was still beating violently.This time she was only about five or six steps away from me, and I could even see the dark lines on her cloak clearly.She was wearing a hood and a veil as rumored, I couldn't see her face clearly, but I could feel her staring at me.

"It's strange." She said suddenly, her voice was elegant and sweet.

I think I should reply: "I just think it's strange, okay!" But I couldn't say anything at the time, I could only watch her approach, keep approaching, and then passed me.

I think ordinary people should not have the experience of being passed by ghosts. In fact, I have had quite a few. Those low-level ghosts without intelligence often float around without control, but there has never been a time that made me feel like this time. unbearable.Like being doused from head to toe with a bucket of ice water, I felt like I was being robbed of all body heat.At the same time, a large number of negative emotions attacked my mind, pain, despair, resentment and sadness, those feelings that did not belong to me seemed to open a hole in my head and get in.My ears were buzzing with the screams, the screams of men, women, old people, young people, all combined together, it was like the sound of hell.

When she left, I was able to move at last—shivering with my head in pain as if it was about to split open.I myself couldn't tell whether this uncontrollable shiver was from cold, pain, or fear.

"It's really strange." After passing through me and the wall behind me, she passed through the wall opposite me.Now I believe that she is indeed a magician, because her tone now seems to be doing some interesting magic experiments.

Then, she moved closer to me again, and this time, I saw her eyes.

However, she didn't touch me this time, because an arrow wrapped in red and white light passed through her body in an instant, and nailed to the wall at the end of the corridor with a "duh".In the direction of the arrow, Ley was holding his crossbow, and Alice and the others followed behind him.I added fire magic to Lai's arrow, and Irwin added light magic to it. This kind of arrow can wipe out ghosts below the middle level, but it only leaves two ghosts on both sides of her robe. Block burn marks.

However, fortunately, she didn't get angry after glancing at them, and she didn't mean to attack, but disappeared out of thin air just like when she appeared.

"Chris!" I could hear Ley calling me, and I could feel him lifting me up, but my body was getting heavier and heavier.

This idiot should call me Kate in front of outsiders!It was my last second thought before I passed out, and the last thought was that it was like the second time I passed out in his arms.

"So, although you saw that ghost standing in front of me when you arrived, and I was sitting on the ground trembling with my head in my hands, I was not fainted by that ghost." I finally concluded.

"It was because she was so scared that she couldn't move, even if she got close, she couldn't fight back, and she fainted only when she passed through." Lai also made a conclusion.

And I couldn't refute, so I could only point out his general idea: "You shouldn't call me Chris in front of Alice and them."

"This is easy to explain. Chris is your alias when you are adventuring. I'm just used to it."

"Okay... By the way, I saw her eyes, both green and black, to be exact, the left eye is green and the right eye is black." I had to change the subject again, "What does this mean? "

"You don't need to think about what it means now, what you need now is rest."

"Okay, well, since you let me rest, why don't you go out?" I'm definitely not angry now.

"Have you forgotten, for safety's sake, two people share a room now." Lai sat on the bed next to me.

I'm not in the mood today, so it's useless to say more, I just covered my head with a quilt and went to sleep.

"Right, Chris."

"Do you have any questions, Your Excellency?" I had to show my head again.

"You really don't need milk?"

It was my down pillow that answered him.
