"Werther! Werther!"

The pale young man rolled his eyes impatiently when he heard the loud and punctual calls every day, and continued to walk through the swamp, not intending to pay attention to someone who was calling his name.

"Werther! Werther!"

Eggsia saw the target sharply in the dark scenery.

"White! I have good news... Woohoo!"

The shouting stopped abruptly, and the boy turned his head in surprise. Sure enough, only a pair of desperately waving hands and... dazzling blond hair were left in his field of vision.

"Didn't I tell you not to come again?" The boy rudely cast a small spell to get the mud off the opponent's body.

The blond boy laughed, but didn't take his bad words to heart.

"Witt, I have some good news for you!" The boy stood up and made a forward posture in a foolish way.

"..."

Cold wind blows.

The cold boy laughed dryly and scratched his golden head.

"I may not be able to see you for a while."

The boy who was arranging the fire paused.

"Really." He put down the dead branch in his hand, afraid that the other party would find that his hand was shaking.

"You shouldn't have come here." After adjusting his breathing, the boy didn't look back. "This is a swamp that swallows life, and... in your capacity, you shouldn't have any contact with unknown people."

The blond boy was stunned, and it took him a while to realize what he was saying.

"No!" He waved his hands hastily. "I am……"

"Okay!" The explanation was interrupted sharply.

Take a few deep breaths, trying not to fluctuate your voice. "I will let the milk take you out, or you will get lost again." After going out, never come back again...

"... Werther," the blond boy didn't take a step forward, but suddenly grinned with a sly smile. "Do you think I won't come again in the future?"

"..."

"Werther, why are you so cute!" The boy jumped forward.

"Wow!" Was thrown down.

"Don't cry, I'm just leaving Minara temporarily."

"Who's crying!" He tried to get up in embarrassment, but he was crushed and couldn't move.

"Listen to me." The boy refused to let go.

"I'm going to the holy imperial capital." He whispered in the fair ear of the black-haired boy.

"Father wrote a letter 6 and sent my grades ^ There is a knight directly under the Holy See who is willing to accept me as a squire^"

The boy stopped struggling.

"If it goes well...in four years, I will be an official knight!" Big smile.

"So don't cry."

"I didn't cry!"

A little skeleton rabbit circled around them several times, and the two of them remained lying on the ground.

"... You went to that village again?" The blond boy frowned and looked at the glaring bruises on the slender and clean neck of the person below him.

Pushing away the rascal on his body, the black-haired boy pretended he didn't hear anything.

He sighed out of character, "Didn't I tell you? If you need something, I'll help you find it." Don't let people hurt you like this.

After a moment of silence, the black-haired boy spoke.

"Master Viscount will not be happy that you have contacts with me."

"Father!" The blond boy yelled exaggeratedly.

"You don't have to pay attention to him!"

How could he not care... The black-haired boy lowered his eyes.Under the oversized cloak, there were actually more scars on his body than the blond boy imagined.

He knew what people in the nearby towns and villages thought of him.Unknown person, son of the curse, evil ghost... As long as he appears in people's sights, he will inevitably be reviled and attacked. Everyone thinks that his existence is an ominous omen, except for the nervous but noble person in front of him. people.

"Wett," the carefree blond boy suddenly became serious, and looked squarely at the person in front of him.

"I will definitely become an excellent knight, and I will protect my friends and you."

At this moment, the black-haired boy only felt that his brilliant blond hair was more dazzling than the rising sun.

"Protect yourself from falling into the swamp first."

"Why do you say that!"

"Monster! Get out of here!" "He's running away!" "Hurry up!" "No, he's gone deep into the swamp!"

The young man staggered and ran towards the swamp along his usual route, followed by a skeleton rabbit.

He didn't stop until he could no longer see those frightening torchlights.From time to time, Junxiu's face was fearful, but indifferent.

"They're coming in more and more, Milk." He gently picked up the rabbit.

"We...should leave too."

As if sensing the master's emotions, the rabbit rubbed its head against the young man's skirt.

To leave is to leave, but where to go?The young man's always independent face was unusually blank.

"I will become an excellent knight!"

The proud oath in memory seemed to ring again.

The young man held up the rabbit in his hand: "Let's go to the Holy Emperor to have a look, shall we?"

After several years of hard work, he finally broke through the realm of death and became a necromancer.

But the unpopularity of the Necromancer's identity on the Ori Continent forced the young man to hide his identity.

"You can't come out once you enter the city, Milk." Wearing ordinary clothes, the young man coaxed the pet in his backpack who was having a temper tantrum in a low voice.

Using carefully prepared means to confuse the guards guarding the city, the young man was very unaccustomed to standing on the bustling street full of sunshine.

A lot of people... The young man carefully picked an alley that seemed less crowded and walked in, exhaling.

Being hated and cursed by others all the year round made him unconsciously tense in the crowd.

Milk kicked his legs in the rucksack again.

Patting his backpack to comfort him, the young man suddenly became dazed.

This place...is not the place I should come to at all.Looking at the streets outside the alley, you can see muttering bright magicians everywhere, bright swordsmen hurrying on their way, and uniform patrols of bright knights...

knight? !

The young man opened his eyes wide.But the distance was too far, and the group of knights in uniform couldn't see their faces clearly.

How could it be such a coincidence... The young man himself thought it was funny.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd.

"Root—" The sharp voice startled the young man.Seeing that the commotion seemed to expand to his side, the young man hurriedly stood in the shadow of the corner.

After the sound of horseshoes and the panic of the crowd gradually subsided, the young man stuck his head out.

"Under the feet of the God of Light, doing evil in the holy imperial capital!"

A clear baritone voice came from a height, and a man against the light proudly pointed his sword at the person on the ground.

"It's really bad luck. I was discovered while the captain was patrolling." The surrounding knights also laughed softly.

The delicate young lady came over with the help of the maid.

"The God of Light bless you, Mr. Brave." The beautiful girl saluted gratefully.

The knight hurriedly got off his horse and returned the salute, "As a knight, it is our duty to sweep away darkness and evil!"

The youth in the corner didn't pay attention to what they were saying, but turned around silently.

He saw the blond hair that didn't lose its color even in the backlight.

Just as he was about to leave, he was bumped by someone who hurried through the alley.The other party was obviously in a hurry, and he didn't even notice that he bumped into someone.

He staggered a bit when he was hit, and just when he finally stood up, his rucksack was knocked loose.

A white shadow rushed out quickly.

The youth felt that his heart was about to stop beating.

Fortunately, everyone didn't pay attention to the corner, the young man secretly chanted a spell, and quickly used his spirit to communicate with his pet with a spiritual contract.

Shirokage turned a corner at an incredible speed and rushed back to the rucksack.

Hope no one sees it!The young man broke out in a cold sweat and was about to run into the depths of the alley when he heard that clear voice.

"Hey! That man! Wait!"

Turning a deaf ear to the cries behind him, the young man ran away.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer, and the young man had never regretted his identity as a mage with little physical strength so much.

"White!"

The person behind finally called out.

His footsteps involuntarily stagnated for a moment, and then... he fell down after a long absence.

"I wasn't sure just now," the voice of the person behind him carried a hint of a smile, "The one who ran over just now was indeed milk."

The young man played dead angrily.

He didn't get up, but still pressed on him, and kept calling, "Werther, Werther."

"..."

The young man who was pressed to the ground clenched his fist, but let it go.

I really hate myself for not having willpower.

Sure enough... my heart softened.Just like how many years ago, after I accidentally rescued Eggsia who was lost in the swamp, I couldn't get rid of it anymore.

hateful.

"How long do you want to hold on?" Finally said coldly.

The blond-haired young man also realized that his physique was no longer as weightless as when he was a teenager, so he smiled mischievously and got up.

"You actually came to look for me!" The blond young man's eyes sparkled. "I thought you would never show up before I went to find you!"

"Who said I'm here to find you?" I was annoyed.

The blond young man smirked: "You should have become a necromancer, isn't there any necromancer who would hang out in the holy imperial capital if he has nothing to do?"

"..." The black-haired young man turned his head and left.

Years of tacit understanding let Eggsia know that he was becoming angry from embarrassment, so he didn't care, picked up the rucksack that the young man dropped on the ground and followed with a smile.

"Is it milk that ran out just now? After being separated from him for so long, does he still recognize me?"

"I was officially appointed last year. In less than three months, I was selected as the captain of the patrol team. My teacher's beard is so tall..."

"When did you become..."

The black-haired young man turned around abruptly and gave him a hard look.

As soon as Eggsia spoke, she knew that she was too outspoken, and almost forgot what this place was.

Necromancers are a taboo existence in any corner of Ori, let alone the holy capital.

The dark-haired youth was silent.

He actually remembered what Eggsia said on the street just now.

"It is our duty to wipe out the dark evil!"

What a powerful statement.

He stopped suddenly.

"I'm leaving."

"Go? Where are you going? Come to my house first..."

Family.

The dark-haired young man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I was lucky to meet you today." He said softly. "But I can't stay any longer."

Eggsia paused, eager to grab him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I am a Necromancer." And you are a Knight of Light.

Eggsia didn't hesitate. "So what? As long as no one knows..."

no one knows?The black-haired youth smiled wryly.In fact, he didn't even know if he was bewitched by the God of Light and came here, the holy imperial capital where great magicians and wizards abound!

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by a scream.

"Skeleton undead—"

milk? !The young man's expression changed immediately.

Eggsia also quickly realized what had happened.

No, not milk!Using his spirit to detect that Milk is now hiding in a hidden corner with no one there, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

But he immediately found that he was too happy too soon.

Eggsia also took a deep breath. "Oops! There must be dark creatures coming in!"

What this means, they know very well.

Sure enough, a large number of magic detection techniques flooded the sky in an instant.

The youth immediately hid his dark attributes as much as possible.

But he himself knew very well that this kind of indiscriminate magic detection could be avoided, but once a mage appeared, he couldn't hide for long at all.

The most terrible thing is that the holy imperial capital itself has very powerful anti-black magic measures.The blessings and various enchantments of the holy imperial capital by the bright mages of the past generations have made the dark attribute extremely thin here.This kind of place is almost a forbidden place for necromancers who use and drive dark creatures.

The youth began to tremble.I am so reckless!

Eggsia pulled him and ran away.

"Get out of town first!" Eggsia whispered.

As long as he goes out of the city, the power restrictions on the black-haired youth will be much less.At least...not life-threatening.

The young man was almost dragged forward.

but……

A strange vibration came from the direction of the center of the city, and the air began to twist in a strange way.

"The holy wind breath of the great magician Annan!"

Eggsia turned pale.

They had reached the city wall, but the mighty wind followed closely.

Agcia smiled bitterly.

Annan magician's holy wind magic is very clear, the blast will sweep across the entire holy imperial capital on a large scale, as long as creatures with dark attributes are tracked, they will become merciless and the sharpest blades.

Agcia stopped.

"Werther, I bought a country house in the western outskirts of the city."

The black-haired youth also stopped and turned around.

"The innermost part of the second floor...is your room."

He took the black-haired youth's rucksack.

The black-haired young man opened his eyes wide, trying to snatch his rucksack back.

"I can't take you to see it in person this time, wait..."

"What do you want to do?!" the black-haired youth snapped.

"Don't be nervous." He resumed his teasing tone.

"You forgot, I'm the captain of the Cavaliers. I saw a suspicious person in the east, and I'm just going to inform everyone." With a target, at least Shengfeng will turn in the same direction.

"...Really?" Will it be all right.The young man looked at each other hesitantly.

"Fool. The breath of the holy wind will not harm people with light attributes at all. There is a city wall in front of you. When everyone's target has shifted, get out quickly."

He wanted to refute, but was pushed forward severely.

Looking back at the other party turning around and striding in another direction, he could only forcefully suppress the panic in his heart.

Sure enough, the wind turned.

The light forces are all gathering to the east.

The young man was still in shock in the hidden woods outside the city.

The power gradually returned, which was suppressed by the enchantment seal of the sacred imperial capital.

He turned around and wanted to go further, but the sound of two huge explosions behind him made him freeze.

He's out of town.

There can't be a second necromancer in the city.

If it's the undead causing the commotion, why are there two attacks?

What are they attacking? !

The youth's pupils suddenly dilated.

"I'm the captain of the Cavaliers. I saw a suspicious person in the east, and I'm just going to inform everyone."

"Fool. The breath of the Holy Wind doesn't do any harm to people with light attributes."

He knew Eggsia would not lie to him.

Then why are you still so uneasy?

The young man habitually wanted to take out his pet, but found that there was nothing on him.

The heart froze in an instant.

The milk is a pet he spliced ​​out of bones and infused with undead spirits.The milk is in the rucksack, the rucksack is in...

"Fool. The breath of the Holy Wind doesn't do any harm to people with light attributes."

"Taylor, I bought a country house in the western suburbs."

"I can't take you to see it in person this time, wait..."

"Werther, Werther..."

"I will definitely become an excellent knight, and I will protect my friends and you."

fraud.

The dark-haired youth collapsed to the ground.

……

The solemn bishop put on the sword and spurs for him, and the blond youth knelt on one knee.

In front of a strong enemy, be fearless!

Courageous and loyal, worthy of light!

Geng Zheng said bluntly, I would rather die than lie!

Protecting the weak is no wonder!

This is your oath, remember it firmly!Canonized as a knight!

——I will bravely face the mighty enemy,

— I will fight sinners without reservation,

—I will fight for those who cannot fight,

- I will help those who need my help,

— I will not harm women and children,

—I will help my brother knight,

- I will be faithful to my friends...

After taking the oath, a small black-haired figure appeared in the blond youth's mind, smiling slightly.

......——I will treat love sincerely

One month later

Xiamo Eggsia Wolfgang Lydia, the captain of the No.12 knight patrol squad in the temple, died in the line of duty in the dark siege of the holy imperial capital, and was crowned a royal knight.

In the same year, the team was accidentally attacked on the way home with honor, and the remains disappeared.
