Celestial Mage

Chapter 149 The Man-made Disaster in Baima Town (14)

The streets near Sunshine House.

Two carriages passed by, and the windows of the adjacent carriages were open. Rosen saw Xia Lina sitting in the carriage. She had a solemn expression and concentrated eyes, and she was in the state of performing a task.

"Joy, stop."

After the carriage stopped, Rosen got out of the carriage and walked to the window of the church carriage next to the street wall: "Miss Xia Lina, what's the specific situation?"

"An urgent mission is a request for help from a lower-level temple, so it is estimated that it will take a month to travel far away."

"Is it very difficult?"

"Although I don't want to say that, I have to tell you the truth. The mission is indeed unusual and dangerous. You have the right to refuse. Of course, I very much hope that you can go with me."

Rosen smiled slightly: "It is my honor to fight for the gods. Wait a minute, I will tell my wife, and then I will go to the temple with you."

Xia Lina's tense face suddenly eased. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly pressed a kiss on Rosen's cheek.

"Go and talk, there's no rush."

Rosen walked quickly into the Sunshine House, and found Serendis inside.

Serrandis was looking at the newly bought spell book from the guild. When he saw Rosen rushing over, he felt something was wrong. He immediately asked, "The count has a task for you?"

Rosen shook his head: "No, it's an urgent task for the temple. It will take a month to travel far away."

Serrandis pursed his lips: "Is it dangerous?"

"Well, kind of. But you know, my spellcasting is stuck, and I need the danger."

"In addition, after studying spells for so long, deep down in my heart, I have always wanted to hone my spells in actual combat."

During this period of time, he and Serrandis have jointly created many new gravity spells, but apart from bragging with past opponents in the virtual machine, he has never experienced real combat.

Life is too comfortable, it is a pity to draw a sword and look around for invincible hands.

In the end, if you go out with Xia Lina on a mission, you can also get the greatest care and accommodation, and you won't feel aggrieved in the slightest.

Selandis knew about this a long time ago, and he was already mentally prepared for it.

She knew early on that Rosen was an extremely restless character, with a wildness hidden in his heart, like an eagle, who would rest in one place for a while, and would only feel happy if he soared in the sky.

"I won't stop you, but I want to warn you that there is no shortage of strong people in this world, so be careful!"

Rosen nodded intently: "Before any adventure, I will be fully prepared, and I will also think of a retreat route."

While speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Serendis vigorously.

"Anna, Alice, when I'm not around, you must pay attention to your health. Don't stay up late. If you feel lonely, let Jenny come to your house to accompany you."

Serrandis squinted and smiled: "Don't worry about me, I will take care of myself."

She patted Rosen on the back lightly: "Go, my love."

Rosen, who had already grown up above Serrandis's eyebrows, hugged Serrandis tightly, pressed a deep kiss on his lips, and then took various auxiliary spell-casting tools, and was about to turn around and leave.

When I reached the stairs, my heart suddenly moved, and I walked back and took a large sum of money from the cash box.

Seeing that Selandis was puzzled, Rosen explained softly.

"In the near future, there may be changes in Crescent Town in the north. I will use this money to make some arrangements in advance."

The layout should be done as early as possible, and the preparations should be made after the incident, the shit can't keep up with the heat.

Serrandis understood, and raised his brows: "Let's do it, my love!"

She no longer had any doubts about Rosen's ability.

Only then did Rosen turn and leave Sunshine Xiaozhu.

After leaving the yard, climbed into the carriage of the Jingshi Sanctuary, and the carriage started to rush to the temple.

After Rosen sat down, Xia Lina raised her eyebrows with a teasing expression.

"So fast, I thought it would take at least an hour."

Rosen was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly: "It's broad daylight, what are you thinking about?"

After a pause, he asked, "I didn't bring combat leather armor, how many sets should the temple prepare for me?"

Xia Lina nodded: "Of course I prepared it for you."

She threw another money bag to Rosen, which contained about 70 crowns: "Here, this is your mission fund for your daily expenses."

Rosen put away the purse casually: "So, what is the specific task?"

Xia Lina also has a vigorous and resolute style of doing things, and immediately began to introduce the task content.

"That's how it is."

"White Horse Town, the most marginal town in the Golden Land, is also the fiefdom of the god-given Baron Larson Morey. In the past year, there have been a large number of tragic cases of massacres in the countryside."

"Originally, this should be a matter for the sheriff of Baima Town, but according to the report of the town's chief priest Senge. More than half a year ago, many corpses suspected to be contaminated by necromancy were found on the outskirts of Baima Town."

"And just three months ago, a highly corrupted male corpse was found on the bank of the Cold Water River. It was identified as the official low-level mage Cyrus Gogril."

Hearing this, Rosen's heart shivered slightly, and he asked, "Ms. Xia Lina, have you asked Mr. Xia Bolai about the matter?"

Xia Lina spread her hands: "Of course, in fact, he said everything. I think you are doing the right thing."

In this case, Rosen felt relieved.

Xia Lina commented: "Cyrus is narrow-minded, and he has no taboos in order to gain power. Even if he doesn't die at the hands of you and Xia Bolai, he will die at the hands of others, and he will even be purified by the Holy Church."

Then Rosen was a little strange: "It's been more than half a year, why are you bringing it up now?"

Xia Lina sighed: "It's been more than half a year since the matter of Cyrus, but his appearance seems to have made some interested people discover the emptiness of the power of the temple. About a month ago, a necromancer appeared in Baima Town again."

"In addition, half a month ago, there was a big event that an army of 400 living corpses attacked the baron's castle at night!"

"Although it was finally repelled, it caused huge losses to Baima Town. At least 200 innocent people died in this necromancer night attack."

"Ah~ so rampant?" Rosen was really surprised.

A necromancer who can control 400 people has at least the mana of the middle-level peak.

But this is far from invincible power, to attack the god-given lord's castle head-on, this courage is really boundless.

But at the same time, it also shows that in Baima Town, a small border town, the glory of the Golden God has been greatly dimmed.

Sharina's expression was also quite serious.

"This necromancer is challenging the majesty of God head-on, and must be purified most thoroughly!"

Rosen understood: "It's feasible for me to help deal with the necromancer. But besides the gravity spell, I only know the fire spell. I should call the moon mage for this kind of thing, right?"

"Or, besides me, you have already called Moon Mage?"

There are many kinds of moon polarities, each with their own differences, but the silver moon polarity of Silvermoon Castle, officially called the 'Holy Moon of Exorcism', has a pretty good restraint effect on necromancy.

Of course, flames can also restrain necromancers, but the effect is not as good as the former.

Xia Lina shrugged: "Do you think the powerful mage is so easy to invite? You are the only one."

Rosen shrugged: "Can't the temple be recruited?"

"To be precise, it's not recruiting, it's recruiting. The temple gives a reward, and then waits for the mage to respond."

"But you have also seen that the vast majority of mages actually like to live a comfortable life."

"In order to obtain the protection of the temple, they are very willing to make rune stones, magic tools, potions, and become magic consultants for the temple. But if they want them to accompany our exorcist warriors to fight, they will find many reasons to shirk."

"For example, if you are in poor health, have a magic accident, or drink some potion, you can't let a sick patient perform dangerous tasks."

"In addition, I can't trust the fighting ability of master mages who have stayed in such a comfortable environment for a long time."

Rosen fully understood: "The necromancer who dares to attack the lord's castle head-on sounds like a very difficult challenge."

"But it also makes me feel wary."

"Do you have any details about this necromancer?"

"Necromancers usually hide very deeply, but this necromancer is different. He is very arrogant and doesn't hide his information too much."

"What we know so far is that this guy is called Damsis. He is in his early 40s. He has at least peak mid-level mana and a 9-star spellcasting ability, and he believes in Vanderlom, the necromancer of the Sixth Hell!"

"Tsk~ You're still a demon servant!"

Rosen's mind was running fast, and he found a lot of information about necromancers.

He asked, "How long has it been since the army of the undead first appeared?"

"About 1 month."

"One month, given the current weather, the corpse is extremely perishable. Even with the maintenance of spells, the vitality of the corpse will overflow very quickly."

"But considering that he is Van der Loon's servant, there should be a magical technique to keep the corpse fresh, and the freshness time should be longer.

"After comprehensive consideration, I estimate that if this undead army does not continue to replenish fresh corpses, it will perish within two months at most."

The undead army, seemingly terrifying, seems to be an invincible army that can crush the living.

But the underlying magic principle is to use mana to drive the remaining vitality of the corpse to his own use, thus obtaining a fearless army.

But there has never been a perfect spell in the world.

Necromancy has two major flaws.

First, there is an upper limit on the number of necromancer puppets controlled by mages.

Second, the corpse is difficult to keep fresh for a long time.

A corpse is not a living person, it is about to rot.The remaining vitality in the body will also quickly dissipate with the disappearance of life.

It's okay in winter, but it's miserable in summer. Even with the help of fresh-keeping spells and various secret methods, it can only be used for three months, and the smell is not to mention how bad it is.

Xia Lina also dealt with necromancers before, and she said: "You are now an intermediate mage, and you can obtain three intermediate spells from the mage guild for free."

"What I mean is, if you go to the guild to buy three middle-level spells, will you have time to master them?"

Rosen nodded immediately: "Of course it's too late."

The powerful mid-level spells are all above six stars, and he can't use them even if he buys them.

But there are also some middle-level spells that are not so powerful, but definitely stronger than low-level spells. The requirement is five stars or six stars.

Barely usable, and better than nothing.

They went all the way to Baima Town, and the journey would take five days, which was enough time for him to practice the new spell thoroughly in the virtual machine.

Rosen finally asked: "Then when shall we set off?"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, you still have half a day to prepare."

"Half a day is enough. Take me to Harrick's hound home first. Do you know Harrick?"

Xia Lina smiled slightly: "Of course, a broker who sells paintings for you."

"Oh~ Don't say it so harshly, Uncle Harrick is one of my most trusted friends."

Harrick is already 35. He has gone through a lot of things when he was young, and he is a person who has come to understand. Although he is still a commoner now, if someone pulls him, it will not be certain in the future.

Of course, Rosen will not pull people for nothing, and those who are pulled have to work hard.
