Travels of the Necromancer

The surrounding scenery changed, and I felt dizzy again, but different from the first time, some incoherent images kept flashing before my eyes this time: Kate's blue eyes when she was dying, Lai in Ford City after knowing the truth Tears, Ted dissipated under the requiem in the wasteland, Ley fought like crazy, the back view when Noah pushed me out of the magic barrier, Ley when I was affected by the book of truth...Suddenly I realized, These are fragments of my memory.

Spiritual magic!I suddenly became alert.But before I started singing, the dizziness disappeared.

The surrounding environment has turned into a hall that is constantly collapsing. I immediately propped up a magic barrier to block the falling bricks and stones, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.Thin towering vaults, intricately patterned walls, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows decorated with stained glass, this kind of vulgar decoration taste seems to be the castle of that guy named Dial.Before I could think about why I came back here, a familiar wave of magic caught my full attention.

The Book of Truth?When I saw the familiar book that fell at my feet, the inexplicable longing attacked me again. I almost couldn't restrain myself and reached out to pick it up, but I woke up before I touched it.The book of truth has already fallen into Julian's hands, and the castle has already collapsed. This place is just an illusion mirror!

After realizing this, the crumbling castle completely collapsed. Although I knew that everything here was an illusion, I still instinctively closed my eyes when the huge dome fell down.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself sitting next to a campfire.

"Why did you come here all at once?" I murmured.

"We've come all the way, we finally got to this oasis." A gentle voice came from my ear, I looked up, and saw Ted sitting in front of the grill, turning a roast chicken with each hand.

"Yeah, we walked for three days to reach the first oasis, and the road ahead may be even more difficult." I recalled the experience of the wasteland in the past few days, and said with emotion.But what happened just now, I suddenly lost my mind, and now there is a strong sense of disobedience lingering in my heart.

I looked around, Ley and Noah were studying the map, and the other mercenaries had already set up their tents, sitting around the campfire in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.Ted took out the sauce and spread it evenly on the grilled chicken. His face was flushed by the bonfire, and he looked very lively.The smell of food gradually permeated the entire camp, and with the talking and laughing around, there was a warm feeling.

But I just feel that the sense of disobedience has become stronger. What is wrong?

"It's ready." At this moment, a chicken leg appeared in front of my eyes, and I looked along and saw Ted's smile.

"What are you thinking, it's not your style to leave the food alone."

I took the chicken leg, but felt that this scene was a bit familiar. When has there been a similar scene?

"Why don't you eat?"

"wrong."

"The chicken leg is wrong? Is it burnt somewhere?"

"It's your fault, you're already dead." I heard my own voice say calmly.At this moment, I seem to be divided into two, one is surprised by what I said, and the other clearly knows that Ted has long since died, died in the wasteland, and the corpse turned into a necromantic creature, and then fell under the influence of the requiem dissipate.

Ted didn't speak, and there was still a simple and honest smile on his face.Suddenly, someone patted my shoulder, I turned my head, and two clusters of red flames were staring at me.

"teacher!"

"Little guy, why are you so surprised? It's not the first time you've seen me. How is the information you collected in the storm ice field?"

"It's been sorted out, and it's here." I gathered the materials on the desk next to me, folded them neatly, and handed them to the teacher.But I don’t know why I hesitated for a moment, I always felt that there should be a bonfire instead of a desk beside me... Hey, why is there a bonfire in the study?I myself thought this idea was a bit funny, so I stopped thinking about it and started discussing the materials with the teacher.

Research is an extremely enjoyable thing for me. Once I plunged into it, there are few things that I can put down except eating, but this time I did research and even forgot to eat.After I solved all the questions raised by the teacher, I found that the sand in the hourglass on the desk had already completely leaked out.

It's been a whole day and I don't feel hungry at all.Of course, for me, I don’t only eat when I’m hungry, but I still don’t want to leave the study. The data of the storm and ice monster on the parchment seems to have infinite charm all of a sudden, so I can’t look away .

In past lives, this has never happened.

However, it shouldn't matter if you forget to sleep and eat once in a while, I thought so and turned my attention back to the parchment in my hand.Anxiety gradually grew, which made me unable to concentrate.

Sure enough, I should eat something first, so I stood up, ready to open the door and go out.But when I put my hand on the doorknob, I suddenly have a feeling that if I go out, I will not be able to continue my research.

Why do I think so, it is normal to continue researching after eating!After a short pause, I turned the handle without hesitation and walked out.

The dining room seemed overly lit, and it took a while for my eyes to get used to it.In the resplendent hall, huge crystals shone with light, and the long dining table gave people the illusion of being endless at a glance. Male and female servants stood in neat lines on both sides.Of course, the most dazzling thing is the variety of dishes on the table.

"Master, everything is ready, please have a meal." Rhodes stood next to the main seat and pulled out the chair for me as usual.

I hesitated to take a seat, but soon the very suitable wine began to melt my doubts, and the tender fish seemed to melt in my mouth completely dispelled it.

How much time has passed?Such a question also flashes in my mind in a trance, but all my senses are used to experience the skills of the chefs of the Russell family. The food with impeccable appearance, aroma and taste is the first. What leisure do you have to think about such silly questions?

It's a pity that my good mood didn't last long, and the uneasy feeling came up again... Hey, why did I use the word "again".

I always feel that something is missing, I glanced around, my hand didn't stop, and I put a piece of cut steak into my mouth.Um!It's really good, the heat is just right, the sauce fully penetrates into the texture of the meat, and the taste of the seasoning matches the texture of the meat itself just right.Munching on the steak, I felt extremely satisfied, but strangely, the uneasiness didn't go away.

What is missing?I look around again.

"Rod, where's Ley?"

"Master Lai has something to do, so he may come later."

How late is it?There shouldn't be any danger in Roselle's manor, but I feel more and more uneasy.Also, how long have I been eating? I seem to have eaten a lot of food, but why do I never feel full?

I stood up abruptly, shaking the cutlery on the table.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to find Ley."

"I'll send someone to call Master Ley."

"No, I'll go to him myself." A voice in my heart told me that I must go to Ley now.

It is undoubtedly a very painful thing for me to tear myself away from the table full of delicious food, but I did it after several efforts, but when I came to the restaurant door and was about to open the door to go out, I once again It feels like if I go out, there's no way I can come back here."Again" indeed, I am somehow sure.

I still opened the door.

Outside the door is a long corridor, completely opposite to the brightness of the restaurant, the corridor is completely dark.

Rye stood just outside the door, in the dark corridor, half of his face was illuminated by the lights in the dining room, but the other half was still in darkness.

"Lei, you're here, I'm looking for you."

Ley didn't answer, and didn't move, he just looked at me quietly, his blue eyes, which were almost exactly the same as Kate's, were still bright in the dark, and suddenly, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a beautiful arc.

Ley stood in the darkness and smiled at me.
