The Book of Hibernation

Gorman's successor in charge was named.The man's name was Glora, and he was one of Gorman's right-hand men. He was a native of Fessisit. He had two children and no husband. He was under 30 years old, so he was relatively young in charge.She completely inherited Gorman's thinking, and believed that all trade pointing to the Khiva River should be blocked, and the necromancers who invaded the gem forest should be driven back, and their influence should be eliminated as much as possible.

To achieve these goals, not only must efforts be made on the Fesisit city-state council, but also unanimous support within the chamber of commerce is required.

After going through all these twists and turns, the chamber of commerce urgently needs a chief executive, even if it's just an agent for him for a year.

After Gerora signed the inauguration document in charge, the first suggestion he made was to seize the time to establish the chief.

Since the establishment of the Ten Sails Street Chamber of Commerce, the process of establishing the chief has been very strange, and it is not the same as the city council or the royal succession.

If someone volunteered to become the chief, the officers in charge would observe and test him. During this period, people with a certain position in the chamber of commerce could give their opinions or directly express their opposition.After the time limit is up, if there are very few objections to this person and the scale is not enough, then he can directly become the chief of the chamber of commerce.

If no one takes the initiative to be the chief, then each of the five managers must nominate a name.If a person is repeatedly nominated by more than three in charge, then this person will directly become the chief; It is necessary to choose between the other two names, forming a two-to-three situation. In the end, the candidate proposed by one of the three becomes the chief.

The nomination process is by discussion and not anonymous.Everyone knows the process isn't fair.Looking back on the past, chief executives were often created in conspiracy and exchange of interests.

But from another perspective, conspiracy and interests are not nothingness, but one of the ways to reflect the strength of the leaders.Perhaps this loophole-ridden method of appointment is the original intention of this process.

Before the official election, there should be sufficient consultation time.No nomination meeting will be held today, at least until tomorrow.

In terms of the specific selection plan, Aldin and Mai Da had a tacit understanding - Aldin did not want to be the chief of the chamber of commerce himself, not even as an agent for a year.

It's not that he is indifferent to fame and wealth, but that he feels that now is not a good time.From all aspects, he is not ready yet, and aggressiveness will only increase the risk.Be more pragmatic and give power to the right people.

Another day of discussion is over.In the afternoon, the temperature in the manor dropped sharply. It seemed that there was something wrong with the fireplace system, and someone had to be quickly repaired.So today's dinner meeting was cancelled, and Aldin returned to the post in advance.

Mai Da intends to take a stroll in the capital, have a few drinks, and then find a good place to enjoy other fun.He asked Aldin if he wanted to go with him, and Aldin refused.

In fact, he quite likes the capital of Shandonia, but for some reason, he just can't get interested now.

The thing that affects my mood the most right now is that the fireplace can't be lit.But Aldin knew very well that he was not disturbed by a fireplace.

Usually he rarely does this.Even if you are upset, it is because you are facing real trouble.

This feeling is very bad, reminding him of the distant past, of his childhood.

At that time, he felt similar inexplicable upset.

It must have been when he was about ten years old, he didn't remember the exact age.Kanai is even younger, but has already started going to the city to go to the enlightenment school.

One day, he knew that Kanai had been beaten, and it was a child about his age.The man was not serious, there were no injuries, and he couldn't catch any evidence, so he secretly went to wait near the enlightenment school, trying to stop the kid after class.

He was quite confident when he set off, but when he arrived in the city, he began to panic.

He couldn't help thinking: Is this panic normal?Could it be an early warning of intuition?Could it be that something serious happened to Kanai?Was it hurt by an older child?

Later he waited until Kanai, and Kanai was fine.It's a pity that Kanai was too young and too stupid to lead the older kid out together.

The brothers returned to the small town smoothly.Many people surrounded his house, a very pungent smell wafted in the air, and the house turned into charred black.

Both parents are dead, and the human form is no longer visible.

At the same time, the inexplicable anxiety disappeared.

A more intense emotion takes its place, and of course it disappears.

Today, this familiar sense of anxiety rose again in Aldin's heart.

He finished writing the newsletter, put it in a thin tube, and asked the inn owner to pick out two letter eagles for him.

One of the two eagles flew to the harbor city, and the other flew to the capital city of the Kingdom of Reklia.That place is a must for the escort team to pass through. Calculating the time, the escort team should have left, but at least they can inquire about the news.

This is Xinying's limit distance.If it is a city further away, the letter eagle contact network of the chamber of commerce will not be able to cover it.

=======================================

Corpses crawled up from the mud one by one, and the spellcasters who manipulated them were never seen.

This plain may have been used as a battlefield in the past, and there are quite a lot of bones under the soil layer.Some of the skeletons were completely skeletons, and some still had tattered cloth and armor on their bodies. They dug up the ground and launched attacks following the scent of the living. Since they had no weapons in their hands, they just hugged with bone arms and bit with their teeth.They don't know the pain, even if one arm is cut off, they continue to pounce on the living without fear.

For the Templars, these monsters are not difficult to deal with.They are low-level undead creatures. Although they are powerful and brave, they have no IQ, let alone tactics.The only troublesome thing is that there are too many of them, and the corpses keep getting up one by one. Even if one is cut down, it will stand up again with the broken skeleton in a few minutes.

Kanai didn't care about the bones for the time being.He stood in the rain, with a cane in one hand and a detection compass made by his teacher in the other, trying to find the caster's location.

The line of sight was poor under the heavy rain, and the compass seemed to be disturbed by something.The opponent is a necromancer who came back from the north, so there must be a way to avoid detection.

Since he couldn't find it, Kanai decided to give up looking for it first, and turned his attention to the stopped prison car.

The knight who was walking in front just now was attacked, and the people behind were caught off guard.The knight in charge of driving the cart made a misjudgment, and the horse strayed a few steps, bringing the prison cart onto a heavily muddy ground.

This is just mud, not a swamp. There is no problem for humans to walk through it, and Kanai's carriage is also fine, but the special prison car will not work.

It was made of metal, extremely strong and heavy, and even the cart had one more set of horses than ordinary carts.The wheels of the prison wagon got stuck in the mud and got stuck in something heavy underneath.

The horses were not used to this kind of ground, and the driver tried several times, but failed to get the horses to bring the prison cart out of the pit.

Kanai dragged his injured leg and walked to the vicinity with difficulty, planning to use force field spells to push the carriage to see if it would make the wheels slip out.It would be too bad if the prison van couldn't move all the time.

He told the rider to get out of the chariot first, so as not to be injured by the spell.The knight jumped out of the car according to his words, stood near Kanai, and drew out his sword to be on guard to ensure that Kanai could cast spells smoothly.

Kanai tried twice.The second spell was in the right direction, and the stance shield almost made the wheels leave the mud puddle.

Just when Kanai was about to try again, the knight driving the car on the side and rear let out a low exclamation, followed by a few metal clangs.Kanai turned her head back, feeling a chill down her spine.

A huge black figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was attacking the knight fiercely.

The figure was scorched black all over, his eyes were burning blood, and he held a black heavy ax in his hand.This is one of the swearers of March, the one that appeared in Harbor City.

The armor and weapons of the Templar Knights have been blessed with divine magic, and they can temporarily resist the attacks of the Oathsworn.Due to the difference in strength and combat skills, Kanai felt that the young knight might not be the monster's opponent.

If multiple knights deal with the Oathsworn together, they may be able to subdue it with magically enchanted weapons, but now the other knights are dragged down by a large number of resurrected corpses, and it is difficult to quickly support their companions.

The Vengeance is immune to most arcane attacks, and Kanai knows he can't hurt it.The only spell that works on the Vengeance Sworn is Force Field Shield.It can't hurt monsters, but it can block it for a certain period of time.

In the current situation, Kanai decided to protect the prison car first, and then go to support the knight.

Kanai stretched his hands facing the prison car and chanted a spell.He intends to evoke a hemispherical shield to cover the entire prison car to prevent the necromancer from attacking the prison car.

But his spell failed to complete.A violent impact hit him from the side, knocking his whole body into the air.He fell to the ground, and a sudden burst of severe pain invaded his whole body.

Kanai gritted his teeth and collected himself, only to see another swearer standing a few feet away, holding a long sword, staring at him with red eyes.

He discerned the source of the pain.The heavy long sword hit his shoulder, and he was thrown flying. The bone in his right shoulder was broken, maybe even his right arm and collarbone were gone.

Not only that, after he fell, the old injury on his leg began to hurt sharply.The not-yet-stabilized fracture is dislocated again.

Kanai curled up in the muddy water, her eyes darkened for a while.At this moment, he heard an extremely distorted howling sound not far away... from the carriage carrying goods.

The horses stamped and jostled each other, causing the wagon behind to twist and turn.After a few bumps, a dusty figure rolled off the carriage, fell to the muddy ground, and quickly stood up again.

After seeing the figure clearly, Kanai not only took a breath.That's Pad.

The rope binding Pad was cut, probably by the swearer just now.Pad was free, but he didn't run away.

He neither helped the knight brothers nor attacked them. He staggered towards the prison car in an unnatural posture. When he got closer, he could see that his cheeks and the shirt on his chest were black and red, which seemed to be bleeding .

He took a few steps closer, and Kanai finally saw his situation clearly.His eyes were gouged out.Judging from the bloodstains on his hands, he probably did it himself.

Despite the loss of his eyes and his strange posture, his walk was firm and smooth, as if pulled by something.

Seeing his dirty clothes, Kanai suddenly understood everything.

Pad was induced to commit a crime, but he was not really evil, and if caught by the knights, he would surely catch him without a fight.

To ensure safety, the knight will remove his armor and remove his weapon, so that he will not do anything else.

But in this way, all the magic and arcane defenses on Pad's body will no longer exist.

For necromancers, Pad became no different from ordinary people, and could be controlled with potions or enchantment spells.

When Pad walked to the side of the prison car, the swearer with a long sword also leaned over.

Kanai was lying on the ground, unable to get up, and one side of his body was completely unable to move. Obviously, the swearers no longer took him as a priority target.

The swearer stuck his long sword into the mud beside him, grabbed the corner of the prison car with one hand, and grabbed the wheel with the other, easily overturning the huge and heavy car body to the ground.

The horse was brought down, neighing and struggling in panic.The swearer drew out his long sword, and within a moment, the stench of blood pressure dyed the rain curtain red, and all three groups of horses were beheaded and fell to the ground.

At this time, some knights around also realized that something was wrong, and tried their best to break free from the entanglement of the bones, and rushed towards the prison car and the swearers.

The swearer no longer managed the prison cart, and guarded the surroundings with a sword, so that the knights who came to support him could not get close to Pad.

As for Pad... he groped around, expertly finding the door at the top of the carriage.

There are two locks on the door.In order to prevent the key from being lost, what is used in the lock is not a traditional key, but a mechanism built-in lock that requires a specific technique to open.

Tricks are designed based on the divine characters of the day patrollers, and only priests or temple knights know how to solve them.

What Pad received was a high-level enchantment. He retained his original intelligence, but he would act according to the wishes of the caster.He can unlock those special locks.

The defensive spells on this door have failed, and once the lock is released, the dark clouds inside will be free again.

Watching all this, Kanai struggled a few times on the ground.Force field shields or barriers require both hands to cast spells, and it is necessary to draw a precise geometric circle on the target of the spell while chanting the spell.But he couldn't move one arm.

He wanted to cast a smaller force field shield, bounce off nearby Avengers, and slice off Pad's arm by the way...but no, his body couldn't do it anymore.

So, Kanai groped to the inside of the robe with one hand, and took out the two flat bottles.

He first opened the metal flat bottle with his thumb and drank the liquid inside.

At the same time, the Vengeancer knocked two knights to the ground, and a third was pierced through the chest by its sword.

Then, Kanai gripped the second flask tightly.It has a glazed texture, the whole body is completely closed, and there is no cork.Kanai began to chant the spell silently.

While he was reciting the spell, Pad had already opened the top door of the prison van.

The sound of the rain was quieter than before, and the sky was brighter.A pale and slender hand stretched out and pressed against the dark prison car door.The dark clouds have reappeared.

At this time, the swearers were still fighting with the knights, preventing them from approaching.

The hand on the car door did not move for a while, Wu Yun seemed to be hesitating, not knowing whether to come out or not.

And Pad slowly raised his hands and reached into the car door.His shoulders were tense, and his arms were in the position of clenching something.

Judging from that posture, Pad should have strangled Wu Yun's neck.

Wu Yun is about to change his body.The person responsible for killing him is not the swearer, nor any living corpse, but Pad, who is currently under control.

It can be seen from this that killing Wu Yun with an undead creature should be ineffective, either he will really die, or he will not die at all.If you want him to complete the body replacement, you must let a living person kill him.

Kanai continued to chant the spell.His left hand was clenched tighter and tighter, and the glass flat bottle was almost embedded in his palm.

The preset spells take effect.The veins of the spell drilled into his flesh, penetrated the texture, and spread along the blood vessels.Kanai thought it would hurt, but the spell turned out to be painless.But he wasn't too sure, maybe the multiple fractures were too painful, but it could cover up the milder discomfort.

While waiting for the spell to complete, he used all his remaining strength to move his body in the mud.It's only a short distance away... He crawled a little over half his body length, and that's enough.

From this angle, he saw the dark clouds inside the prison car door.

Dark Cloud uses the body of the Dead Hunter.Today, this body is the same as that of the little Bellos before, and the hair has all turned gray and white.

Pad's hands were only holding Wu Yun's neck, Wu Yun's knees were kneeling on the edge of the car door, and his upper body was almost lifted up.

It probably didn't want to resist, but out of an instinctive reaction, its hands tremblingly grabbed Pade's sleeve.

Since Wu Yun's hands still had the strength to grasp things tightly, they were still alive.

Kanai smiled.He opened his left hand, and the glass flat bottle in his palm fell into the muddy water.The bottle has never been opened, but it is empty inside.

Not far away, the swearer seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned around and ran towards Kanai.But they were too late, Kanai said the spell quickly and accurately, sending a pale ray from his left hand.

He has always been like this.He is only good at ray and force field spells, not only has amazing attack power, but also extremely fast shots.

The ray passed by Pad's ear, pierced directly into the dark cloud's face, and pierced through the skull.

The blood was black, and there was no obvious splash, but a little flowed out along the gray hair.Wuyun's hands lost their strength and hung down, while Pad was still strangling the corpse's neck in vain.

Kanai lay prone in the muddy water.His consciousness is still there.

After killing Wu Yun's upper body, Wu Yun's soul will not wake up in the next body immediately.It was the same last time. In the Tribunal, the Hunter of the Dead was still herself, and it changed after arriving in the dungeon.

Once the thing to do is done, the pain re-occupies the brain.Kanai laughed.Maybe it was loud, maybe he was so angry, but he couldn't hear it himself.

"It turned out to be used, so fucking unlucky..." he said to himself, "but...it means I'm right..."

He wanted to turn over and face the sky, but his body really had no strength.At this time, a pair of hands helped him and turned his body over.

It was a pair of soft hands, without gauntlets, not a Templar, and certainly not a Vengeance.

There was only one person squatting in front of him, but there were still many scattered footsteps around.It's soft boots, not knights.

There is more than one necromancer here.It seems that Wu Yun's popularity is quite good.

Kanai didn't know if the other party could hear his voice, so he tried to speak as loudly as possible: "You are finally willing to come out? Are you northern necromancers... so cowardly?"

A familiar voice answered him: "The mage only wants to achieve his goal, it doesn't matter whether he is cowardly or not. What did you do?"

"I got him," Kanai laughed again. "Are you going to ask Pad to strangle me again? Try it?"

"You..." The other party didn't continue, maybe Kanai couldn't hear clearly.

He wasn't worried anyway.Even if the necromancer manipulated Pad to attack him, it was useless. Whether he strangled him or hacked him to death, the dark cloud couldn't escape.

The necromancer in front of him let go of his hand.I don't know if he wanted to escape, or he was killed by the temple knights.

Kanai couldn't open his eyes and couldn't see the current battle situation.He realized that it was the purple sage juice he drank first that started to take effect.

Drowsiness sets in and the pain subsides completely.Kanai lay in the soft mud, as comfortable as returning to her bed at home.

Not a mansion with a courtyard in Harbor City, but a home in a small town.It's a pity that he was too young at that time and could remember too few things.He even forgot the name of his hometown.
