Travels of the Necromancer

The bedroom, for nobles, is a very private space, even couples are not allowed to go to each other's bedroom at will without the other party's permission.However, for safety reasons, from the first day we arrived at Silvermoon Castle, we arranged two people in one room.Under the current special circumstances, everyone gathered in the small banquet hall on the second floor to rest.For such an arrangement, even the two young ladies, Alice and Catherine, did not have any complaints, which made people have a little more confidence in the future of the Roselle family.

Although everyone is basically doing group activities now, it is not difficult to find a time for the two of them to be alone.On the pretext of checking the secret room where the stone box is stored, Ley and I came to the study again.

The last time we were pressed for time, and we were busy unraveling the seal on the stone box, we didn't check this secret room carefully.Now, I have plenty of time to study this secret room.

"The concentration of the fire element here is surprisingly high. Someone should have used the fire magic of the Blast Flame Curse level here. Ley, do you still remember how I found this secret room?"

"You said that you didn't find any books on black magic in the study, which is very unusual."

"Yes, so I think there is a secret room in the study, but obviously, there is no secret room." The secret room is not big, except for the stone platform in the center where the stone letter is placed, there is nothing empty.

"Could they all be moved to the manor in Northern Xinjiang Province?"

"I've already swept it there, it's so clean that I thought it was the study of some temple priest."

"So you think someone used the Explosive Curse to destroy the contents of the Chamber of Secrets?"

"This is the most reasonable explanation. There is a layer of Silent Rock sandwiched in the wall, and the explosive spell that can destroy everything in the room will not affect the outside of the room, but the only thing that puzzles me is why someone would do this Do."

"I think the Count himself did it."

"why?"

"Probably out of anger. My beloved has become like that because of the curse, so I hate the magic books related to the curse."

"Just because of this reason?!" As a magician, I can't understand this kind of thinking logic at all.Feelings really are the stuff that makes people lose their minds, and I looked around and couldn't help but bemoan the innocently destroyed books.

Afterwards, I began to study the seals around the room, and explained to Lai: "I know why the seals here are so dense. These seals were not completed at one time, at least in two batches. And from the color of the magic pattern Look, the time between these two seals is very long."

"Although the two seals are mainly based on natural magic, there are subtle differences in the writing of the runes, especially the second seal. The runes at the beginning and end have a strong temple style. I want to preside over the second seal. The person who seals it should be the priest of the temple."

Hearing this place, Ley seemed to recall the information he had read: "20 years ago, my father invited a temple priest to the castle to perform a purification ceremony. Although the final ceremony was not held, it does not mean that the priest did everything did not do it."

"I think so too. The time and identity are all right. If the priest really imposed the second seal, then he might have destroyed the black magic books in the secret room." quite acceptable.

"Then, now there is only one question left. Since the priest found the secret room and the stone box, why didn't he just destroy the contents of the stone box and choose to seal it again?"

"Did your father also know that the identity of Wraith is Mrs. Aini, so he couldn't bear it anymore." I also tried to explain from the emotional point of view, although this is not my field of expertise.

But Ley shook his head: "Since father disregarded grandfather's will and allowed outsiders to enter the castle for purification, he must have made up his mind to solve the curse in the castle. Even if he saw grandma in this situation, I don't think he would hesitate. "

Looking at Lai's serious expression, I think it probably has something to do with responsibility, honor and the like.

On the way back to the banquet hall, I told Ley in detail about my doubts about the things sealed in the stone box.

"Have you heard the legend about the 'Storm Mercenary Squad'?" After a moment of silence, Ley asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"No." I shook my head.

"It's a story from the Book of Revelations."

"No wonder I haven't heard of it." "Apocalypse" is the basic textbook of Temple College. It uses stories to promote teachings to younger students. I will never read such boring books in my free time.

"It is said that there used to be a mercenary team named 'Storm'. They have completed many difficult tasks, and they are one of the most outstanding mercenary teams." It is rare that Lai is in the mood to tell a story, no matter how boring I can only listen to it up.

"Once, they took on a mission to find a batch of lost treasure. They went through countless trials and finally found a sealed box." It is indeed a bit like our current situation, but we only found one The box seems to be a level lower.

"But when they finally unlocked the seal on the box, they found that there was nothing in the box." Well, the story is more like this.

"It turns out that there is no treasure in the box at all, but a demon that was defeated by the God of Light in the holy war is sealed. Because of the long time, this seal has long been forgotten by people, and the seal has gradually been lost with the passage of time. Efficacy, a part of the demon's consciousness escaped the seal, pretending to be human beings to deceive the 'Storm Squad', let them break the seal, and completely liberate the power of the demon." Since the great God of Light has already defeated the demon, why not solve it directly It doesn't know that the seal is unreliable, and it will always be destroyed for various inexplicable reasons?Or did he love the devil as much as the Count loved Lady Aine?

Of course, the above comments are only for the story itself. In reality, ordinary demons and the God of Light are not at the same level at all, and it is not so big for the God of Light to deal with it himself.

"However, in the story, the mercenary team was deceived by the demon, but in reality, coming to Silvermoon Castle was entirely my idea. I don't feel possessed by demons recently, but if you really want to say that I am a demon, I will I don't have much opinion." I looked at Ley and said.Anyway, for ordinary people, there is not much difference between necromancers and demons, they are all "evil existences".

"Although you are very self-aware, I am not talking about you this time."

"Then who are you referring to?"

Ley didn't answer, and stopped suddenly after turning the corner of the corridor.I followed his gaze, and Merkel was standing at the end of the corridor smiling at us.

"By the way, how did that story end?" I asked, watching Merkel approach us.

"The members of the Storm Squad used their lives to make up for the mistakes they made, and re-sealed the demon."

"Oh, it's an uninspired ending of total annihilation!" As I spoke, I also smiled and walked towards Merkel.

"Good night, Lord Chris, Lord Ley"

"Good night, Lord Viscount Merkel is admiring the paintings again. Risking your life to stand here alone, your love for art is really admirable."

"Actually, I have something I want to talk to Lord Chris about."

"What's the matter with you?"

Merkel just looked at Chris with a smile and didn't answer.

"Then I'll go back first." Lai obviously understood what Merkel meant.

"It's too dangerous to go back alone." I frowned.

"Since Your Excellency Merkel came here alone, it means that there is not much danger." Ley glanced at me and signaled me to be more careful with Merkel.

"What exactly do you know, can you tell me now?" Watching Ley's back disappear at the end of the corridor, I turned to Merkel.With his cautious personality, he would come to me directly like this, which already has the air of a showdown, so I will not go around in circles.

"I remember last time I said that the founder of the Silver Moon Mercenary Group was from Yinyue County. There is also a legend about the formation of Yinyue County." But he started to tell the story leisurely.

See also legends, from the time I searched for information about Silvermoon Castle until now, I have heard quite a few legends.
