Chapter 55: Land of the Dead

With a bang, one side of the metal box fell down, sending dust flying.There was the faint sound of water washing away inside the box, but it was pitch black inside, with no human figure to be seen.

Wen Sen crossed his chest and said, "It may take a little time to boil water with fire, but for a water magician, it is very simple to condense water into ice..."

After he finished speaking, he saw a hurried figure rushing out from inside.His whole body was soaked in water, and he splashed down. The gravity of the water made him step out of the box with his front feet, and his back feet were so soft that he knelt down in front of Hayden and George in embarrassment.

George used earth magic to form a big pit under his body, and then kept adding sand and soil into it.

Vincent glanced at George and snapped his fingers. Like a hooked shrimp, the necromancer rose from the pit with his back arched and flung aside.

George said angrily, "Why are you saving him?"

Vincent said: "Of course my prisoner is up to me to decide his life and death."

George was choked, and quickly said: "They caught Rebecca and Conrad!" He stared fiercely at the necromancer, if his eyes could turn into yellow sand, then the grave of the necromancer would stand tall Tall Optimus Prime.

Vincent said nonchalantly, "Who are Rebecca and Conrad?"

Hayden knew that his matter had nothing to do with his own carefree personality, so he hurriedly said, "It's a magician from the Magic Guild of Mar City."

Vincent had nothing to do with it.He kicked the necromancer, "If you don't want to die, get up quickly."

The necromancer sat up slowly, subconsciously looking at the metal box, and then gasped.The water in the box froze into ice. A necromancer probably wanted to escape with him, but he only had time to stretch out a hand. His head and body were frozen forever at the moment of escape.

Vincent said to George: "Earth magician?"

George, resentful of his blatant indifference, said gruffly, "What?"

"Bury them."

George sneered: "Are you still afraid that they will be eaten by wild animals?"

Vincent said: "I just think such a big box is an eyesore in the middle of the road."

George said, "Why should I listen to you?"

Hayden winked at George.Only then did George reluctantly bury the metal box in the soil.

Not being able to see the tragedy of his companion before his death more or less eased the tension of the only remaining Necromancer present.He stood up, glanced at Vincent quickly, but settled on Hayden's face, and lost his voice: "You..."

Hayden raised his eyebrows, "You know me?"

Vincent joked, "This is the first time I've met your male admirer."

A trace of confusion flickered in the eyes of the necromancer, and he quickly shook his head and said, "You are not."

Vincent said, "Isn't this Hayden you know?"

Hayden focused his eyes and said, "Is that person you met in his forties, with a very shallow scar on the left side of his face?"

The necromancer's eyes flickered, "I was wrong."

Vincent patted him on the shoulder and said, "People will die."

Olivia walked over holding the fireball, "We need the head of the Necromancer, it doesn't matter if you have arms or legs."

The necromancer turned pale and said, "What do you want to do?"

Olivia pouted at Hayden, "Answer the question first."

The necromancer looked around, as if resigned to his fate, and said in a low voice, "Psdit wants to be a lich. That person is also on his test list, and he is close to success."

Hayden's heart shrank, "Make it into a lich? You mean, he has already been killed?"

"No." The Necromancer said, "A Lich is different from a Lich. A Lich must use a living person who has been tempered by various poisons and curses. That person and his companions are the only ones who survived. To the Necromancer Said, this is the most precious treasure."

Hayden said coldly, "Where is Psdit?"

The necromancer said: "I don't know. He was ordered by the God of Death to attack the city of Mar, but he did not come back since he fought last night."

Hayden asked, "What does he look like?"

"The skin is pitch-black, wearing a green mage robe..."

Hayden remembered that when he picked up "Monica" before, one of the corpses lying on the ground obviously fit his description. "Do you know where his home is?"

"I don't know." The Necromancer replied very quickly.

Vincent smiled and said, "People will really die."

The necromancer gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't know. Every necromancer will not easily tell others where he is."

Olivia said: "They are here to attack the city of Mar, what are you here for?"

The necromancer bowed his head.

George suddenly rushed over with his magic wand and beat him up.

Hayden and others stood by and watched.

The necromancer was frightened, his body was already very weak, how could he stand up to such a round of beatings, and soon lay on the ground, looking dying.

Hayden grabs George's wand and pulls him away.

Still puzzled, George groaned and said, "To deal with this kind of person, the most practical thing is to do it!"

Vincent squatted down, grabbed the sand and sprinkled the necromancer's face, "We need the necromancer, but it doesn't have to be you."

The necromancer slowly raised his head, panted resignedly, and said, "We, we are also here to attack the city of Mal. We heard that those two people were found from the city. So I thought, touch, touch luck."

"By the way, let's see if we can get a bargain." Olivia looked at him condescendingly, "You really don't know their whereabouts?"

The necromancer was silent for a while before he said: "In the depths of Xiguimo, there is a city of Dansi, which is a dead cough, a place where necromancers specialize in trading. Those two people have been taken... there." He He raised his head and looked at Vincent with begging eyes, "I can do whatever you want. But, I beg you, if you meet a woman or mage named Dorothy, let her live. She just Want to trade them for... for some money."

Vincent said, "Dorothy is your lover?"

The necromancer smiled bitterly: "She is my wife. We found those two people by accident. I am afraid that we will arouse the suspicion of other necromancers if we walk together. Psdit has two powerful friends, and I must stay to dispel them." their concerns."

Hayden said: "It was you who attacked Mar City this morning?"

The necromancer nodded. After betraying his wife, he seemed to have nothing left to keep.

Hayden said, "Where are those people?"

The necromancer said: "Dead. None of them persisted through the first level."

Hayden said, "Including those two magicians?"

George's ears perked up immediately, and his eyes were fixed on him.

The necromancer hesitated for a while before saying, "They were made into witch corpses..."

"Ah!" The yellow sand under the necromancer's feet spun wildly with George's roar.

Vincent used wind magic to move the necromancer elsewhere.

"Why did you save him?!" George rushed over angrily, but was sent ten meters away by a wind of Vincent's hand.

"Losing a friend is a sad thing," Hayden said.

Vincent said, "Well..."

"I didn't kill it! They did it!" The Necromancer explained anxiously, "But if they died, those two witch corpses would be gone." There was a slight regret in his tone.

Seeing George rushing back without resting his breath, Vincent threw another gust of wind to send him further, "The next question is very important, and it concerns your life."

The necromancer's eyes widened, "I have already answered the question just now."

Vincent said: "It was a warm-up just now. Only the next question will affirm the value of your existence."

"what is the problem?"

"Can a person who is mentally exhausted and comatose be saved?" When Vincent asked, Olivia kept observing the expression of the necromancer, trying to judge whether he was telling the truth or lying to survive. .

The necromancer pondered for a while and said, "I don't know about this either."

Vincent's tone rose, "I don't know?"

The necromancer said: "Theoretically, as long as a person is alive, his mental power will slowly recover. If not, it must be because his mental power was exhausted too much and his head was injured, so we have to see if his head can still recover." save."

Olivia said: "What if he has been frozen?"

The necromancer was dumbfounded: "Can people be frozen?" He saw Olivia's expression was not looking good, and said, "Well, at least you have to see that person to know if it can be saved."

Vincent laughed and said, "It's best to save, otherwise...you know."

The necromancer has been almost numb from threats.

Hayden asked again: "Apart from you, who else will attack the city of Mal?"

Finally encountered a simple problem, the necromancer said with a sigh of relief: "Not for the time being. The god of death only gave orders to Psdit, and we followed secretly."

Hayden knew that things were not that simple.Since the existence of Vulcan was known, those gods that existed in legends are no longer illusory imaginations, they are real, and they exist in corners that humans cannot see.As long as they want, they will return to the sight of human beings at any time.If the god of death really ordered to attack the city of Mal, then maybe there will be another wave soon.

Vincent and Olivia glanced at each other, then looked at Hayden.Although Hayden didn't say who that person was, they obviously all guessed it.

Olivia said: "I want to send him back to the imperial capital to save Otis, what are your plans?"

Hayden said: "I'm going to Dans City."

Vincent said: "Siro agrees to your use of the army?"

Hayden said: "No, only Hansen and I are here."

Vincent raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Hayden smiled wryly, "I didn't expect that Court City and Mar City would become like this."

Olivia frowned and said, "What happened to Court City?"

"It's a long story. Let's go back first." Hayden rubbed his brows.Although he wished to grow a pair of wings and fly to Dans City immediately, "Monica" and Hansen were still in Mar City, and the others were still waiting for his news.

On the way back, Hayden knocked George out who was constantly roaring, and briefly narrated to Olivia and Vincent what happened in Court City and Mar City in a relatively quiet environment.

Vincent also briefly described his experience with Olivia.

Vincent came to West Gemo to find the necromancer and rescue Otis, but things were not as easy as they imagined.Although Vincent had been here a long time ago, Xigemo has changed a lot over the years.The necromancers in Wen Sen's memory either died or moved, so they searched for a long time but there was no news.When the resources of the space bag were about to be exhausted, they had no choice but to set off on their way home. Who knew that they would encounter a necromancer who tried to use a living person as a lich by mistake.They originally planned to capture him alive, but soon discovered that there were other necromancers hiding in the shadows nearby.So, after the undead mage standing in the open was accidentally killed, they began to look for the whereabouts of other undead mages—that is, the scene Hayden encountered.

After exchanging each other's experiences, the city of Mar is in sight.
