Travels of the Necromancer

Catherine looked at the stone letter curiously: "Is this what people call the phylactery?"

I didn't make a sound, and Erwin replied while examining the stone letter carefully: "Usually, only necromancers who voluntarily reincarnate as a lich can have a phylactery, and earthbound spirits like Mrs. But that cannot be called a phylactery. Of course, accidents cannot be ruled out. Undead magic is as profound and extensive as other magic, but unfortunately this cannot change its evil nature."

Compared with ordinary priests, Erwin can be said to be quite rational, but such rationality is sometimes more dangerous to me.

"The stone box made of Moyan is to hide the magic fluctuations, and there should be a seal inside the stone box." Finally, Erwin came to a conclusion.

"Is this what we've been looking for? But I have a question. It's been so tightly sealed, which means the Earl knew of its existence a long time ago, so why didn't the Earl just destroy it?" Blaize asked .

"Maybe, maybe it's because the ghost of the castle is indeed Mrs. Ani." Alice stared at the box and said softly, "The earl couldn't bear to destroy her, so he just sealed her here so that she couldn't leave the castle."

"I agree with Alice's conjecture." According to my speculation, Mrs. Anne was cursed involuntarily to become a wraith, and has always retained a part of self-awareness.As mentioned before, the earl and his wife have a very good relationship. Faced with this situation, the first reaction of normal people such as Ley is to hope to find a way to recover, let alone the earl who loves her deeply.This also explains the earl's insistence on staying in the castle during the time when murders continued to occur in the castle.

However, the earl, who was not very knowledgeable in magic, soon found out in despair that Mrs. Ani's state was irreversible.But in this case, the Earl was still unwilling to completely destroy his wife, but chose to seal her, which was also a kind of protection.What a touching story, the teacher will definitely like it, I sighed while biting the bread.

But if this is the case, then Mrs. Aini we have seen should have been sealed, that is to say, she was not an earth-bound spirit, and is probably a more powerful undead creature than what I have seen .Thinking of this, I have to admit that I am tempted by such a beautiful collection again, but it is obvious that unless I can kill everyone else here, I will not be able to achieve my wish.Thinking of this, I glanced at Ley and decided to shelve this tempting idea.

Then the next step is whether to open the box.Undoubtedly, there is a certain degree of danger in opening it, and it is likely to be backlashed by resentful spirits...

"I think it would be better for us to open the box at noon," and then I heard Merkel say that.

Uh, just skip the "do you want to open it" part and discuss "how to open it"?I glanced at the others, and none seemed to disagree.Well, the people who would accept my invitation to the castle are unquestionably adventurous, including the staid-looking Merkel, so the question is redundant.

"And we..." Merkel cut off abruptly.Accompanied by the sound of metal collisions, everyone showed their weapons almost at the same time—Mrs. Aini suddenly appeared out of thin air, floating above our heads.

"Don't...don't...open..." This time she was hatless, looking down at us with her emerald green eyes, which allowed everyone to see her face clearly.Her face was indeed exactly the same as in the portrait, but her face was much paler than in the portrait. Her voice was still melodious, but this time speaking seemed extremely difficult, slow and intermittent.

"The resentful spirits come back, everyone be careful!" While shouting these words, Merkel jumped onto the table, then jumped high on the fulcrum of the table, and pierced Mrs. Aini's chest directly with the rapier shining with divine light. The degree of agility is definitely not inferior to Lan.

Catherine's reaction was not slow either. She jumped up and attacked from two directions with Merkel.Mrs. Aini avoided their attacks very deftly and floated forward.Catherine clenched her fists in mid-air to protect her chest, while Merkel stepped on her arm and changed the direction with her strength.Although they did not discuss tactics, their judgments were surprisingly unanimous—Merkel, who was more agile and agile, continued to pursue.

At the same time, Erwin sang the protection of the light and my jumping technique was thrown on him. I actually had a tacit understanding with a temple priest. I didn't have time to express too much surprise at this point. I and Erwin immediately started preparing the second spell.Oska, who was inconvenient to move because of the armor, also blessed himself with the Holy Light, and stood by the stone box, while Ley filled the hand crossbow and was responsible for protecting Alice and Blaise.

Seeing that Merkel was about to catch up with Mrs. Aini, she folded deftly and flew towards the door of the restaurant.Fortunately, Merkel's jumping ability was three times that of usual after the jumping technique was added, and she was able to easily jump onto the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the ceiling, and chase her again with the light as the focus.

And Mrs. Aini drew a "S" trajectory in the air, avoiding my two fireballs.But even so, she will definitely not be able to leave the hall, because I have already seen a faint golden light glowing on Erwin's body, which is a sign of the activation of the high-level magic of the Temple of Light.Even I had to interrupt my chanting and quietly set up a magic barrier to avoid being accidentally injured by his attack. The power of this spell can be imagined for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Aini once again performed a difficult move, abruptly stopped the forward momentum, accelerated in the opposite direction, passed by Merkel who was rushing towards her, and came in our direction, but I think she can Not from a snare.

"Pay attention to the stone box!" Merkel's rapier was out of reach, and she had to fall to the ground, and then jumped on the chandelier again to change direction.

Since Irwin and I were not ready for the spell, she went straight through our heads, apparently trying to get the stone box, and now we can only rely on Oskar, the last line of defense.At this moment, a water bomb hit Mrs. Aini.Although Alice is also an intermediate mage, her water bomb was easily dodged by Mrs. Aini because of her lack of combat experience.The real attack, though, is at the back.

Three triangular arrows whizzed past with flashes of magical light, and shot at Mrs. Aini one after another. Only a small folding crossbow can fire three arrows in succession. There is no doubt that it was Lai's handwriting.In order to avoid the arrows, Mrs. Aini had to fall straight down, and below, Oska, who had been armed for a long time, was waiting for her.

At this time, Mrs. Aini's figure faded a little. With the previous experience, I realized that this was the precursor of her teleportation, but unfortunately, it was too late, because Erwin's high-level magic "Initial Light" "It's done right now.

Centering on the place where Erwin was standing, a dazzling but not dazzling golden light slowly bloomed, filling the entire room together with a strong aura of light.People who are irradiated by the light will feel warm physically and mentally, and all the fatigue and negative emotions from the battle just now will be swept away. Of course, this is for ordinary people.I who have set up a barrier still feel extremely uncomfortable in this light, let alone Mrs. Aini who was directly exposed to it.

She was trapped in the light and couldn't move at all, and her figure was constantly fading. When the light finally disappeared, her body had become completely transparent, leaving only a faint shadow.

Ouska immediately seized this opportunity, raised his long sword and slashed at Mrs. Aini.There was no blood and no screams. The faint shadow was split in half like a piece of paper, and disappeared into the air after shaking slightly.

But none of us dared to relax. I told them before that as long as the thing the Wraith is attached to is not destroyed, she can be reborn again.

"After the wraith's body is destroyed, it will take a while to regenerate. We'd better take advantage of this gap to destroy the contents of the box." Merkel said while arranging the crumpled clothes from the battle just now.To be honest, it is difficult to connect the current him with the nimble fighter just now.

"Then, let me do it. Please leave this room first, so as to avoid any accidents when you open the box."

"Erwin, you've consumed a lot of magic just now, it's too dangerous to stay alone." Alice immediately raised an objection and looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine, the remaining magic power is enough to unlock the final seal." Erwin smiled at Alice with a soothing voice, his voice was gentle, but his tone was unusually firm, "Besides, this is my duty."

Catherine frowned and wanted to say something, but Oska reached out and stopped her: "Irwin is Lord Lucian's disciple, he is much more reliable than he looks, so you can leave this matter to him with confidence. Bar."

But under Erwin's insistence, the others finally agreed to let him stay alone in the dining room to open the stone box.

"But you have to remember that it is my duty to protect you. If you do anything else, I will go to the referee." When we left the room, Ouska suddenly turned around and said to Erwin.

"I'll remember." Erwin stood in the middle of the restaurant, still smiling, watching us leave.
