Travels of the Necromancer

Although the nights are getting longer and longer this season, it shouldn't be as dark as midnight at seven o'clock in the morning, not to mention that the lights of the town on the other side have completely disappeared.

"It should be some kind of magic." Merkel frowned.

"Is it the result of the impact just now? This kind of magic reminds me of what happened in the wasteland." Lai turned his head slightly and looked at me.

"It's a bit similar, but it shouldn't be." I knew what Ley wanted to say, but he didn't say it, and I wouldn't say it, so as not to cause panic to others.This large-scale magic that completely covered the entire castle and the surrounding area reminded him of the "domain", but under normal circumstances, the activation of the domain should be silent, and it would not bring about the impact just now.Of course, we don't shoot exceptions, for example, we met another lunatic like Dial.But I don't think this is a domain. I don't have any basis for saying this, it's just a magician's intuition.

"I don't know what's going on outside." Catherine hesitated looking at the dark night outside.

"I'll go take a look outside." Oska had been silently watching Erwin, who was still unconscious under Alice's treatment, and suddenly walked out the door.

"The situation outside is unknown, you can't take risks alone." Merkel grabbed Oskar's shoulders, "And with Erwin's current situation, someone must be by his side to guard him, and you still want to hand over the matter To someone else?"

Merkel's last words clearly had an effect, calming Oskar.The next step was to discuss countermeasures. Catherine suggested that we leave the castle and explore the outside, but this proposal was too dangerous and was immediately rejected.Merkel thought that everything should be done after Irwin woke up and asked about the situation. That's what I meant, and no one else objected.

Until near noon, under the treatment of Oskar and Alice in turn, Erwin finally woke up, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.But we soon discovered that this breath was too early-Erwin was speechless due to excessive consumption of magic power!

"Aphasia" is caused by excessive use of magic or curses such as "forbidden speech". Generally, it can be recovered, but there are many cases where it cannot be recovered for life.If it is really impossible to recover, it will be a disaster for magicians below the wizard level, because it means that they can no longer use magic.Even if Erwin's loss of speech is only temporary, it means that we have lost a major force in this dangerous castle.

However, as a high-level priest, Erwin can certainly write. In fact, his handwriting is very beautiful, and he was able to write down the details of the magic shock that just happened.

When we left the restaurant, Erwin lifted the final seal on the stone box by himself.Although the seal was very complicated and took him a lot of time, it didn't actually cost much magic power.But when Erwin opened the stone box, the contents in the stone box gave off a dazzling light. He didn't even see what was inside the stone box, but felt that his magic power was draining uncontrollably, as if there was something in the box. A bottomless vortex sucked all his magic power into it.

The impact like a magic explosion happened after his magic power was exhausted. We have already seen the power of this impact outside the restaurant, not to mention Erwin who was directly impacted.If it wasn't for the crystal necklace that Lucian gave him, he might have been blown to pieces.Thinking about it makes people feel heartbroken. There is a priceless magic necklace made of magic crystals, with amazingly high magic defense and physical defense, but now it is lying in pieces in the brocade box instead of its owner.

Here I want to say that the first thing Erwin did after getting out of bed was to return to the dining room and carefully put away the fragments of the necklace, so as to bring them back to the temple to apologize to the teacher.

And the second thing he did was to prepare dinner. There were more than one restaurant in the castle, and if one was fried, the other would naturally be used.All the physical wounds on Erwin's body have been healed under the action of magic. Of course, there is no problem in doing this, but the loss of magic power in the state of aphasia cannot be recovered in a short time. He doesn't seem to be worried. Writing words such as "God will not abandon me" to comfort Oska, who seemed much more depressed than him, made me admire the optimism of the temple priests.

Something that absorbs mana like crazy?As I read Erwin's records, I couldn't help but think of my lost book of wisdom.Have you come across another artifact?I wouldn't be so lucky!I secretly laughed at myself in my heart.Suddenly, I remembered a question that I had just ignored. Mrs. Aini who appeared in the restaurant had green eyes!

If according to my previous speculation, the color of the eyes represents whether the soul of Mrs. Aini is in charge or the evil spirit attached to her, then it should be Mrs. Aini herself who has just taken the dominance.In the battle in the restaurant in the morning, Mrs. Aini did not show any aggressiveness, but just snatched the box. What she said at that time was "don't open it".I thought about it carefully. Could it be that she is not afraid that we will destroy the contents of the box and completely destroy her, but that she is afraid that we will break the seal of the box?So, what is sealed in the box?It seems that I can't find the answer for a while.

Although Erwin told us the details of when he opened the seal, it still cannot solve our current predicament.So, after further discussion, it was decided that I would go out to investigate the situation around the castle.

I used the flying technique to fly for about half an hour, and I should have reached the center of Yinyue Lake, but I found that the well-manicured lawn around the castle was still under my feet, and there was still darkness ahead.And when I turned around, I found that Silvermoon Castle was still standing behind me without any surprise.

"The surroundings of the castle are distorted by space magic, and it seems that we can't get out for a while." Back in the castle, I said this to everyone.

We couldn't get out, and the connection with the outside world was completely cut off. In a blink of an eye, we were trapped in the castle for three days.The darkness outside the window seems to be eternal, and we can only know the change of time through the clock.Such a complex and magnificent magic will certainly make me feel excited, but now is not the time to be excited. After all, our situation is very dangerous. This castle seems to have returned to 50 years ago and has become an island of despair.

It seems that there are often such plots in horror or detective dramas: a group of people are trapped in a closed space, and then some of them continue to die strangely.Such a story has two endings: one is that people panic, suspect each other, and even kill each other, and finally the real murderer climbs up from the pile of dead people when everyone is dead; the other is that the justice is awe-inspiring and intelligent The magnificent protagonist finds out the murderer, and leads everyone to escape from the gorgeous magic explosion at the very moment.Trapped in the castle, what kind of ending will we face?

Well... I admit that I still can't help being excited, but looking at the group of people in front of me, I think my reaction is normal enough:

A certain priest who experimented with various recipes and began to challenge the gorgeous multi-flavored four-layer cake; a certain paladin who has been protecting the priest every step of the way since he woke up, and even went to the bathroom; has been buried in the pile of books A certain nobleman pretending to be deep; I don’t know what they are talking about, but a certain two ladies are smiling happily; a certain fat man and a certain mercenary who are seriously studying how to improve the folding crossbow.

But from a positive point of view, at least we are still far from the state of "people panic".
