Another corpse fell at Is's feet, and he kicked it aside and continued on.

"Wait...... Is, are you going to rush in like this and kill every necromancer and undead creature you see?" Ed asked.

"Can't you?" asked Is, rhetorically, "I've been found anyway." ”

"Let me go first, or I'll vomit on you." Ed's voice sounded half-dead.

Iss put him down with a black face.

Ed crossed his waist and took several deep breaths before he could suppress the feeling of nausea.

"We've got to have a plan!" he said, "you have no idea how many enemies there are in there......"

"I know. Isis interrupted him, "I've been in. ”

“...... You didn't even tell me!"

"You didn't ask. ”

"Don't tell me you went in like this last time! If that were the case, they'd have run away by now!"

"Nope. They simply don't know ...... Shouldn't know. ”

"No one attacked you? why!"

"Because I'm an ally of the necromancer?" said Iss coldly.

"No kidding. Ed didn't take it seriously.

Iss stared at him, and even in the faint light he could see the expression on Ed's face, and he really believed him—even himself, I am afraid.

"Seriously, maybe you alerted them last time that they were on guard. Ed said, "Your fault!"

"No, yours. Even if I became a human, my body temperature was very low. Iss deliberately touched Ed's forehead with his soiled hand, causing him to jump back with a grunt of displeasure, "No one knows what the world is like through the eyes of the undead, but without any special orders, they are usually only interested in things with warm flesh and blood. ”

"Aren't necromancers all alive too?"

"They probably have some kind of marking. ”

“...... Damn it. ”

"That's right. ”

"Since you've been in...... Are there any other, more hidden entrances?"

"Nope. Even if there are, there are guards, don't you know how timid a necromancer is?"

“...... No matter what, I'm never going back! Don't want to leave me alone and wait there!"

Iss shrugged indifferently: "I can carry you and rush in, you won't die anyway, maybe you can still use it as a shield." ”

“...... Is. You did it on purpose! You knew I was going to be found in the first place!"

"Of course. ”

Ed squatted on the ground in a huff: "Not enough friends!"

"I'll say this when I really use you as a shield. Isis was unmoved. He did it on purpose, Ed kept babbling, and he didn't bother to bother to give Ed a real sense of how dangerous this place really was. Maybe it can make him die completely.

But he still underestimated his friend.

"Don't think that's going to kill me!" Ed said firmly, "We're all here!"

Iss wanted to sigh, but he held back. Ed would definitely take his sigh as a concession.

"Now that everyone inside probably knows that an enemy is coming to the door, it's impossible to sneak in, do you really want to be a shield?" he asked.

"Oh, Is, don't think I don't know anything about necromancers, only the summoner can sense that he's lost two golems. Ed flaunted the little common sense he had gotten from Filly and Scott about necromancers.

"Perhaps. "But he probably told the others." ”

"Or maybe not? I've heard that necromancers are never people who huddle together, trust and rely on each other. Ed said.

Iss was silent. And Ed naturally took that as a default.

"I think we still have a chance. Ed rubbed his hands, "What's in there...... Boss or something?"

"Probably. Isis replied reluctantly, "An old mage, they call him Master Toum." ”

"Are they afraid of him?"

"A little, but they're probably more afraid of Lydia. She's been a bit moody...... And that old guy is dying of age. Isis said casually.

"Lydia?" Ed was stunned, he vaguely remembered that the female mage who had been on adventure with Eren and them was also called that name, "'That' Lydia? Isn't she a friend of Alan and Scott, why would the necromancer be afraid of her?"

“...... She became a necromancer. Isis could only reply simply, "And their leader." ”

He also wished he could know more.

Ed was stunned for a moment. Lydia becomes a necromancer, Scott becomes a priest of another god, and Calebryne is always half-dead and inexplicably disappears...... The companion who went on an adventure with Eren was more strange than the other.

But at the very least, they can take advantage of Lydia's identity.

"So. Now Lydia is the real boss?" he asked.

"It seems so. Lydia wanted something, that's why they were knocking around here like dwarves. ”

"Well, I have a plan!" said Ed.

“...... What if it fails?" asked Is.

"Then I'll use you as a shield!" Ed grimaced.

Isis looked at him, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh of helplessness.

Necromancers hide in the dark. Surrounded by his immortal servants, he felt safe. But he didn't know what had happened to the two who had lost, and that still made him a little apprehensive.

He wasn't going to tell anyone about it until he figured out what was going on. Tuscany hasn't been in a good mood lately, and he'd better settle everything quietly, or he'll probably just fall victim to the old guy's rage. and the laughing stock of others.

He waited uncomfortably, until the vague black shadow entered the encirclement unsuspectingly.

There were only two people who came, and judging by their height, they were just ordinary humans. They stopped, and as the necromancer pondered what to do with them, one of them spoke impatiently:

"Come out. ”

The young voice, the cold tone, and the commanding tone made the necromancer a little overwhelmed, but of course he wouldn't just go out so obediently.

"We are here on the orders of Lydia Bell. Another said, the voice as young. Just be milder," it was supposed to be a secret...... But I guess not anymore. He seemed to sigh, "Are those two janitors out there yours? sorry, they're probably useless." My companion was a little anxious. ”

"I've never heard of anyone coming here. I would also like to bury your secrets with you, or have you take the place of my servants. The necromancer spoke in an eerie, ethereal voice, which usually scares some, but the two in front of him are clearly not among them. He wasn't going to say anything more, but Lydia's name made him change his mind.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, that's why it's called 'Secret'. The young man said, unconcerned about his threat, "Lydia wanted us to see when she would get what she wanted." I gotta say, she's not happy with your progress. ”

The necromancer was silent, and he began to believe a little. Outside of the necromancer, almost no one knew that Lydia was now their leader, and even less likely that they were here to bang because Lydia wanted a giant's bone.

"I need to inform the master. He said.

"Master Toom, if you haven't informed him yet, then I'd suggest you forget about that, after all, he's Lydia's biggest grievance - for his position. He's a little too old, isn't he?"

The necromancer was silent. He had never heard such an explicit questioning of Tuscan Tum - but the two men even knew about it. He didn't know the name of the old mage commonly known as "Scythe" until all the necromancers on the ice fields had gathered here.

"Of course, if you have to, we can wait...... Although Lydia may not be very happy. You know Lydia, and I'm not sure she'll appreciate your well-guarded guards, or be angry at your inflexibility. ”

The necromancer hesitated for a moment, realizing that he had probably run into the legendary Lydia's apprentices, who were usually beautiful young men. Arrogant, self-serving, perhaps even more unpleasant than Lydia - he didn't want to offend these guys.

"You can go in. Reluctantly, he said, "but you need a marker, or you'll be attacked." I'm not in control of what is inside. ”

"And I suppose you can do us a little favor?" asked the young man nonchalantly, "Oh, I forgot to ask what to call you?" maybe Lydia would have wondered. ”

"Dougt Drebles, happy to help. The necromancer said, his voice softened.

"I said it would work!" Ed couldn't help but lower his voice and show off in his friend's ear.

“...... One look at your face and he'll know you're lying. Isis said disdainfully.

Ed wiped the sweat from his forehead, but still looked proud: "The darkness he likes has deceived him, and it's not my fault."

"There's also a ton of necromancers and more torches than there are in the dwarven mines, and you can't fool anyone else with a face that's almost cramping when you lie, so you'd better keep your mouth shut. Iss said angrily. In fact, Ed looked quite calm except for a little sweating. His body didn't tremble, his tone was serious, but his expression was slightly exaggerated—if he wasn't too familiar with his friend, he might have thought it was normal.

"No problem!" Ed agreed, "...... But what the hell is this thing drawn with, it's so itchy!"

He touched his left hand, where a strange symbol was drawn.

"You won't want to know. Isis replied that he didn't like to be painted with this symbol that he didn't even recognize.

"We're not going to sell our souls to hell because of this mark, are we?" Ed was also a little uneasy.

"You only remembered to ask this now?"

“...... Ish, do you know this mark?!"

"I don't know, that's why it's worse!" Iss said viciously.

“...... It's okay, there's always a way!" Ed comforted himself.

Iss turned his head speechlessly.

The sound of the knock grew clearer, and the light of the fire began to illuminate the path beneath their feet, and Ed tugged at his nondescript clothes and muttered, "I think I still have to get a black robe." ”

No one could see it in the darkness, but in the light of the fire, his beautifully embroidered coat was wrapped in animal skins, and it looked ridiculous.

Isis glanced at him, reached out and tore off the hide and tossed it aside.

"Alright. He said, "And no one is looking at you at all, okay?"

“...... It's a bit cold. Ed shuddered, he couldn't tell if it was really cold or a little scared, maybe there were not many living people here, but there must be a lot of dead people.

"Shut up!"

Ed had no choice but to wrap his clothes a little tighter, and muster up the courage to burrow into the caverns that filled his fantasies with skeletons walking around in stiff positions, or half-rotted zombies that stinked and dragged along their feet.

But what he saw was completely unexpected.
