Magic Underachiever

Hearing the girl's coquettish complaints, Sir Charles finally raised his head. He took off his monocle, rubbed his slightly dry eyes, and pulled the gold watch chain on his chest to pull out a gold pocket watch from his jacket pocket.

After opening the watch cover and checking the time, Sir Charles put away the map and put it in a leather bag beside him, and took out a tablecloth from another canvas bag and spread it on the sand in front of him. After the girl put the broth and bread on top, she said, "Jessica... I thought you wanted to find out the secret of your life like me. Why can the secret medicine made from your blood, sprinkled around, block the approach of the undead?

Why were you the only one who survived in the orphanage that was massacred by the devil..."

Jessica interrupted Sir Charles to continue talking about these old things, and she said dissatisfiedly: "That was originally a devil summoning ritual organized by an extreme sect... They succeeded, and a projection of a powerful devil appeared in the orphanage where I was. All the orphans became sacrifices to the devil, only me...

To be honest, I was too young at that time and I can't remember what happened. Those disgusting guys called me the 'evil maid' chosen by the devil and wanted to bury me alive in the evil. Under the demon altar, let my soul serve the devil forever.

Fortunately... you saved me.

I don't know why the demon didn't kill me, why my blood can block the undead...

Maybe it's because... my soul really belongs to evil. "

Seeing the cheerful Jessica become depressed, Sir Charles said kindly: "No, Jessica... you are one of the kindest people I know.

Think about how many times you have saved me, in the Kaitar Canyon, in the Sea of ​​Thorns... You are simply the best assistant given to me by the gods.

Your soul is definitely not evil!

I think the visions that happened to you, including your outstanding talent in magic, are related to your bloodline. I think your bloodline is nobler than most people, and it should come from the ancient magic era or theocracy era A great family, even after more than a thousand years... your bloodline can still scare the undead and demons. "

Jessica sat cross-legged on the sand, drawing circles on the sand with her fingers: "But what does this have to do with me? It has been so many years, I don't even know who my parents are, why should I look for my unknown ancestor?

No matter how great he is, he has been forgotten by the Dark Ages. Do I still expect to inherit his legacy? "

Sir Charles said with a very serious face: "Jessica, you should know... the projection of a higher demon summoned by the extremists in the orphanage was a projection of a higher demon. He didn't kill you, which means that your ancestors had a very strong influence in the former hell plane.

And the undead... the secret medicine refined by your blood makes the undead not Dare to step into the 500-meter range around the camp. This shows that your ancestors also had a very strong influence in the former Death Kingdom plane.

The Death Kingdom was the leader of the evil camp in the theocracy era, and the Hell plane was the leader of the evil camp in the ancient magic era.

According to my analysis of your blood... you are a pure human, and your ancestor must be a pure human. A human can deter both the undead and the demons at the same time... even if it has been a thousand or two thousand years... when we have forgotten him, this deterrent power still exists.

How powerful is he? Maybe he has become a god. "

"God?" Jessica looked unconvinced: "You said my ancestor was a god... Don't joke, if my ancestor was really a god, I wouldn't eat sand with you here."

Sir Charles also knew that his guess was too bold, but he had to persuade Jessica to help him complete this expedition. Without her blood to keep the undead away from the camp, the expedition team would face many crises, or even be wiped out.

"Jessica, the extremist who summoned demons to massacre the orphanage was the Church of Gazing into the Abyss, who believed in the Hell Dread Lord Ergus. Although the Church of Gazing into the Abyss was wiped out by the Knights of the Holy See last time, the Church of Gazing into the Abyss has shown a tendency to revive in recent years.

These evil fanatics will definitely track down the incident of summoning the upper demon. Although I have hidden your identity, I cannot guarantee that they will not find you.

If you do not want to be harmed by the Church of Gazing into the Abyss, you must prove that the upper demon did not kill you, not because he chose you to be his servant... but because your ancestors made him dare not kill you.

It is too dangerous to summon the upper demon to inquire about your life experience. Blood sacrifice and killing will attract the Holy See. Of course... we cannot kill innocent people.

We can only think of a way on the undead.

This is the Death Desert. I think this desert should be part of the plane of the Kingdom of Death. Somewhere here there must be ancient undead with wisdom that can be communicated.

If we find him, we can solve the mystery of your life experience. "

The Church of Gazing into the Abyss gave Jessica a deep sense of crisis. These people with extreme ideas were completely unreasonable. The demons they summoned were all projections, the remaining power of some demons from the ancient magic era. They were mentally retarded and unable to communicate, but power could be exchanged from them through the exchange of souls.

The higher the level of the demon, the greater the power that could be exchanged.

The upper demon summoned by the orphanage caused a sensation in the entire Order Continent. In the propaganda of the Church of the Most Good, demons were the mortal enemies of angels. The appearance of upper demons directly led to the Church of the Most Good to implement a comprehensive suppression of the Church of Gazing into the Abyss.

That attack saved four-year-old Jessica from being buried alive. Because all the members of the Church of Gazing into the Abyss were killed at that time, no one knew that Jessica was chosen by the devil as the "evil maid". She was dug out from the pit under the devil's altar by the Knights of the Church of the Most Good, who believed that she was about to be sacrificed to the devil.

When the Knights of the Temple finished the battle and prepared to take Jessica back to the monastery, Sir Charles, who happened to be nearby, saw this poor girl and took her from the Knights of the Temple to adopt her. Then in the process of raising Jessica, through his investigation and Jessica's sporadic memories, he pieced together the process of the Church of Gazing into the Abyss summoning the upper demon, and gradually discovered the power hidden in Jessica's blood.

In order to find the secret of Jessica's ancestor in the ancient magic era, Sir Charles began to search for ancient relics all over the world. So although he did not find what he wanted, the unimaginable wealth and fame brought to him by the results of exploration and archaeology made him a household name.

But none of these became obstacles for Sir Charles to explore Jessica's life experience. When Jessica graduated from the magic academy, she became Sir Charles' assistant, and the two of them traveled around the world for their goal.

After the secret medicine that can drive away the dead was successfully developed, Sir Charles couldn't wait to organize an expedition team to go deep into the Death Desert to find the ancient dead who could answer his questions.
