Travels of the Necromancer

"So, is it okay to continue searching?"

"There should be no problem." I thought about Mrs. Aini's actions yesterday. Just like I was studying ghosts, she seemed to be studying me in her own way.Although I had a nightmare all night, she didn't really attack me, and she didn't appear in front of other people again, which seemed to verify the rumor that she wouldn't harm Roselle's bloodline.Therefore, I tend to hurry up and search the castle.

"But we must not be careless because of this," I added.

"That's exactly what I want to remind someone." Ley glanced at me casually.

Obviously, this guy wanted to bring up yesterday's incident again.So, I pointed to the forehead guard on my finger: "I've made full preparations this time."

As soon as I woke up, I dug out all the spiritual magic equipment in the space ring from the corner.A piece of water crystal is inlaid in the middle of this forehead, which has the effect of calming the mood; the necklace I am wearing now is made of mithril, and it is blessed with the magic of the forest elves to improve the mental defense.

But Ley changed the subject: "You could feel very subtle magic fluctuations when you were in the wasteland last time, and the book that Lan took away was the same. Only you were affected. I don't think it's because you are magic. Teacher's sake."

"That's because my perception is higher than the average person, and that's why the teacher accepted me as a student." Speaking of this, I am very proud. When learning magic, my perception allows me to feel the magic elements more clearly With Magic Waves, the learning rate is much faster than the average person.

Of course, sentience is also a double-edged sword, the most notable of which is making me vulnerable to psychic magic.However, since I am a necromancer, I have a natural defense bonus against the mental attacks of undead creatures.At the same time, as the level increases, the growth of mental power can also help me defend against mental attacks.After I became a mage, I basically stopped worrying about mental attacks, so I was so careless yesterday.

"You should already be very clear about my brother and me, but I seldom hear you talk about your going." Lai said suddenly.

"You didn't ask me either!" Besides, is it really okay to have such a leisurely conversation during the time when the wraith haunts?

"What if I ask now?"

"Well, anyway, our search mission has been completed now." I sat down, "Before traveling, I lived with my teacher in the Dark Night Swamp. You should have heard of my teacher's name, Herif."

"The fallen priest who betrayed the temple, fighting the 'bloodthirsty demon' who never leaves a living?" Ley had a surprised expression on his face for the first time, and I nodded.

"As for my life in the Night Swamp, there is actually nothing to say. I get up at seven o'clock for breakfast, usually half murloc meatballs, and then read magic books or recite spells; eat lunch at eleven o'clock, usually grilled half murloc meat slices, Then practice using magic; have dinner at five o'clock in the afternoon, half-merman fish soup with seaweed, and then let my teacher handle the magic materials; at eight o'clock the teacher will pull me to watch the drama of the Empire Theater on time, and rest at ten o'clock."

"Who likes to watch dramas... Liches..." Looking at Lai's tangled expression, I decided not to tell him that the teacher has collected the signatures of all the leading actors in the Imperial Theater for 300 years.

"What about your family? Also, what did you say before that you often eat moss?"

"I just said casually that you still remember?" I was a little surprised, and then tried to recall, "I don't have a picture of family members and the like, and they must have died long ago. Since I can remember, I have been with many people. The children lived together in an old man's broken house. Now that I think about it, it should be regarded as an orphanage. Later, the old man died, and the older children also left. Some of the remaining children died of starvation, and some died of illness. Some were caught and beaten to death while stealing food, and some disappeared inexplicably, anyway, I was the only one left in the end.”

If I think about it carefully, I was lucky to be able to survive until the end with a congenital disease.

"I almost forget the specific details, but my clearest memory of those days is hunger. To be precise, I don't seem to have eaten enough. It was also at that time that I ate moss, because it was easy to find... what are you look?"

"Nothing." I looked away as soon as I asked Ley.

Is it because I am despised for the way I talk about death so lightly?But Lai's eyes just now didn't look like contempt, after all, I'm still very familiar with his contemptuous eyes.He will never sympathize with me, will he?If my experience was in the repertory theater, it would definitely be classified as 'inspirational', not 'sad'.

At this time, I heard footsteps in the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Have you finished your search? Erwin is ready for dinner." I opened the door, and standing at the door was Merkel who came to inform us to go to the restaurant.

Of course dinner is more important even if search is not completed.In the evening, Erwin baked the apple pie, reheated the steaks that the servants had already prepared, and then drizzled them with sauce.I have to say he was really good at cooking and I ended up wiping the sauce off the plate with dry bread.

After the meal is still a summary of the results of the day.We think that we have checked all the rooms on the first and second floors, and found nothing. Next is the most important third floor, including the master bedroom and study room of the Earl and Mrs. Ani.

Alice and the others have gotten along very well with the two members of the temple, needless to say Erwin. From the conversation, we were surprised to learn that Oskar was originally from the noble family of the Purple Wing Empire, and his status is not low. Undoubtedly, the distance between them has been shortened.

"My father was originally a knight of the Royal Knights, and my mother was a firm believer in the God of Light. Influenced by my mother, I did not enter the Royal Knights Academy, but chose to study at the Military Academy opened by the Western Continent Temple." Oskar talked about.

It seems that everyone likes to recall the past today!Wait, he doesn't belong to the same academy as Noah, does he?When I found out the name of the college, I found that they really belonged to the same school.

"Have you heard of Noah?"

"We were classmates in the past. He was a very good knight. It's a pity... I heard that he became a mercenary later. Have you seen him?" When Noah was mentioned, Ouska sounded a little regretful, but he didn't seem to care. unfamiliar.

"He was also a very good mercenary after he became a mercenary. I met him once in the guild." I didn't disclose my relationship with Noah.In fact, I wanted to ask Oska about the specific circumstances of Noah's dismissal, at least to find someone who was beaten.Noah has been reluctant to mention it in detail, and the information network of the mercenary guild has not been able to find out, but it seems that this matter is not suitable for public questioning.

After the break, we continued our search. Ley and I were in charge of the earl's study.The search this time was more time-consuming, because many cabinets in the study had been sealed.In fact, when I walked into this room, smelled the smell of parchment, and saw that the bookshelves were filled to the ceiling and filled to the brim, I could continue to search instead of picking up a pile of books and starting to read. I'm already very proud of my self-control.

We did not complete our search until dawn in the east.We still didn't find what we were looking for, but we found many precious magic materials collected by the Earl.

"Anyway, that lady didn't come out to make trouble tonight, so it's a safe time to go to bed." I stretched my waist in a very un-noble manner.

However, when I stepped out of the study, there was a feeling that something was missing, which made my hand to close the door hesitate.

"Everything here is the property of the Roselle family, so you don't have to think about it." At this time, that fellow Lai said this.

"Hmph, can't I just watch it? When the matter is over, I will live here for a month." I closed the door while talking.
