Travels of the Necromancer

"Who are you?"

Although my body reacted instinctively to dodge when I heard this sentence, I was still a step too slow in the end. The coolness of the sharp weapon around my neck told me what an outstanding mercenary the seemingly slender young man in front of me was.

"Yeah, you've figured it out!" I stared into his eyes and smiled again.

Maybe I didn't expect that I would admit it so readily, Ley was taken aback for a moment.Actually, I wanted to ask him how he found out, but

In an instant, I realized that the words just now were definitely not what Kate would say.And even though I tried my best to play Kate before, it was inevitable that there would be flaws in subtle places, and Ley might have started to suspect it a long time ago.In a word, my acting skills are really not very good.

"Are you sent by Holy Sword? Where is Kate now?" Lai quickly recovered, his tone as cold as the dagger in his hand.Ley probably thought that the people from the holy sword had captured Kate, and then asked me to dress up as Kate and go to him to collect information.Well, a very reasonable guess, but there are many things in this world that are unreasonable, such as... in front of you.

Lai looked at me in surprise, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and then his body also fell down slowly.I think he should be very familiar with this feeling, the last time he was captured by such low-level lightning magic.As I mentioned earlier, instant low-level magic can only be done by magicians above the wizard level, and I was already a wizard a year ago.

The situation was reversed, but there was no fear in Ley's eyes, and he still looked at me firmly: "Now you don't need to hide anymore, tell me where Kate is."

"I'm just an ordinary necromancer, and I have nothing to do with the Holy Sword." At this point, I really don't need to hide anything. I looked into those blue eyes and told him solemnly, "Kate Russell, already dead."

Then, I explained the cause and effect very patiently and in detail.

"So you killed him!"

Hey, I've clearly made it clear, why does this kid come to such a conclusion with such an excited face.

"Please remember that the person who killed Kate was a mercenary of Holy Sword. If anyone else is responsible for his death...it should be you." If it wasn't for him, Kate would not have come here at all. Decheng will naturally not die.I'm just a necromancer who happened to pass by and made a fair magical contract with Kate.

My words seemed to have an effect comparable to spiritual magic, Ley slowly lowered his head, and said to himself, "I killed...Kate...brother..." Then suspicious drops of water began to drip to the floor.

Although Lai's understanding is not wrong, when I saw his tears, I still had a feeling that I was bullying this boy:

"Uh, that's not what I meant...Actually, you can think about it from another angle..." Halfway through the sentence, I suddenly realized that now is not the time to comfort him. Since he already knows that I am a necromancer, I should The murder was silenced.

It is not difficult to kill and silence, I don't even need to use magic, just use the strong hands of a knight to crush Ley's neck bone.As a necromancer, I never thought that the boundary between life and death was so clear, but I don't know why I don't want Ley to be a member of my undead army at all.In fact, just the thought of his warm, soft body going cold and stiff makes my chest tight.Why do I feel this way?A certain piece of soul fragment has been digested by me, so it should be impossible to come out and get in the way at this time.However, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to go with this feeling and temporarily put aside the rational proposal to kill people.

However, I can't just leave him alone.Not to mention that he thought I killed Kate, even any ordinary person who grew up under the glory of the temple knows that it is the responsibility and obligation of a human being to report the necromancer to the temple.It is quite troublesome to be discovered by the temple. Although I am not afraid of ordinary temple priests at my current level, there are still a few magic scrolls that teleport back to the dark swamp... Hey, then why should I worry about it? But if he is wanted by the temple, he just needs to end his travels early and hide in the dark swamp. Anyway, there is already a very famous wanted criminal in the swamp, so it would be no big deal to have one more.

After coming to the conclusion that even being wanted by the temple is not a big deal, I made a decision very quickly—quickly knocked out Lai, then quickly put the packed luggage into the magic space, and then quickly left the already inhabited space. A small courtyard for half a month—although I hesitated when closing the courtyard door, I finally chose to turn around and leave.

I bought a horse at the market and rode slowly towards the city gate.The security of Ford City has not been lifted yet, but I am not on the assassin's wanted list, and I still have the family emblem of the Roselle family in my hand, so the soldiers guarding the gate should not dare to embarrass me.The Purple Wing Empire has a rule that it is not allowed to reveal the identity of the nobility during the tour, but I am not a knight, so of course I will not abide by this rule that has long existed in name only.At the same time, I also prepared for the worst. If I really encountered any trouble when leaving the city, I would directly summon my bone dragon and forcefully break out of the city.

But when I arrived at the city gate, I found that although it was not the day to lift the guard, the guards at the city gate were already quite loose.Thinking about it, the soldiers in the city must be quite tired after so many days of guarding.And from the perspective of ordinary soldiers, since the order to lift the guard has been issued, there shouldn't be any problems.So my trip out of town was surprisingly smooth.The guard who checked my badge didn't suspect me, a nobleman without any entourage, and kindly reminded me that there might still be danger in the World of Warcraft forest outside the city when I left.

In this way, it seems that even Lai, who is a wanted criminal, will not encounter too many difficulties in getting out of the city safely. Of course, this has nothing to do with me.

So, under the respectful eyes of several guards, I left Ford City safely.
