"At worst, the people inside are literally dead. Naria said. She had a cut on her forehead and a slight injury to her leg, but she was calm.

"No, worst-case scenario, not only are the people inside dead, but all of them have turned into ......" Tess crossed the daggers in both hands to block a sword that had been slashed off from her head, and pushed it to the side, "That's it!" She kicked off the leg bone of a skeleton, glad that the elf's bones weren't as thick as the dwarves.

“...... You are right. Naria admitted, swinging her sword away from a scimitar that slashed at the big man.

"Sweetheart, aren't you worried that Ed will become like this? Or do you not abandon him even if he becomes like this, just as you will not abandon your brother who turns into a dragon?" Tates teased casually.

"Ed Singhal, oh, he's going to live to be hated by men, and not to die old. Naria replied.

"Girls...... "Noway sighed, he didn't know where their energy came from, "we're still surrounded!"

"We didn't die just now, and we won't die now!" Tates cried out with confidence, "the gods...... And all the brave and cute little animals are on our side!".

They ran all the way to the other side of the city, followed by a group of skeletons. The elven race's natural agility and speed seem to have been taken to the extreme after turning into bones—after all, they have indeed become lighter.

As they were about to be encircled again, they were rescued by a group of rats who, as their name suggested, "fell from the sky" - the group that Norway suspected was the one that had stood in his way. Hundreds of croaking creatures squatted and crawled all over the ground threw the skeletons into confusion, and they had an instinctive desire for warm flesh, whether it was too big or too small.

With Tess laughing uncontrollably, they made their way to the square, only to discover that Philip Zeri probably didn't need their reminder - more skeletons had gathered in the square, some piled up in front of the door of the rock hall, trying to break in, and a bloody corpse lay on the steps of the square, almost skeleton left. A little farther away, a small group of skeletons blocked the doorway to a room.

The three human guards dodged in time for the skeletons to rush in, holding out for a while with the stone pillar that had fallen in the doorway, but the skeletons eventually broke through their defenses. When Akan smashed the skeletons open and the elves jumped in to save them, there was only one person left inside.

"Fili might be able to save him!" said Naria, who had seen Fili heal Akan's wounds.

They looked back at the door that had been smashed by the skeletons, and realized that they had been discovered, if not rushed. The hollow eye sockets that slowly turned to them made everyone's scalp tingle.

"Come on, we need another bunch of cute little mice!" Tice shouted to the sky, but the cute little mice may have been exhausted, or they may have been exhausted, and they have not appeared again like divine soldiers, and Xiao Mo has collapsed in her arms and panted rapidly, unable to go crazy again.

A snowy owl landed beside them, tilting its head to look at them.

“...... Thanks a lot. Norway felt a little silly, but he couldn't help but speak to it in Elven language, "But I don't think you can help much." It would be better to stay away from here. ”

The snowy owl cooed twice, as if it understood, and flew away.

Ed must have jumped with joy when he saw this. Narya knew a lot about Ed's elven poisoning, "Norvi, he really didn't do anything to you...... Strange things?"

“...... We can come back to that later. The elf sighed and raised his sword, the skeletons were already rushing towards them, "I'll lure them away, you take that man into the door......"

"No way!"

"Don't even think about it!"

The unanimous retort stunned Norvi.

"We have to stay together. Tess said firmly.

Akan gave a loud roar of approval, then threw the dying human on his shoulders and charged at the skeletons.

"Akan!" Naria chased, "Wait! we can't do that this time! The man is still alive......"

"The second one!" Tess struck each other with daggers in the air, laughing and rushing out before the crisp aftermath was gone.

Norway couldn't help but shake his head, he really couldn't understand humans. But when he swung his sword and accurately cut off the head of a skeleton, he also had a smile on his face that he didn't even realize it.

They finally managed to make it to the door, screaming as they backed away the undead. Akan who needed to protect the human on his shoulders lost part of his combat ability if the door was delayed...... The elves had to decide if they had to give up something. Otherwise, they will die here before Ed can be rescued.

- But Naria wouldn't agree. The girl has a similar simplicity and kindness to Ed, and she will not trade the life of someone she doesn't know, even if that person is on the verge of death.

She didn't know what the trade-offs were...... Or maybe the trade-offs in her heart are closer to the gods.

Norway stopped looking at the man on Akan's shoulder, feeling a hint of shame. But if he really had to, he could have Akan take Naria away......

With a scream, Narya, who lost her balance, fell backwards into the door that suddenly opened.

Filly reached out and hugged the black-haired girl, followed by Tess, the little glittering dagger in her hand always made Filly's neck feel a little cold.

The big man rushed in with a man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and a severed skeletal hand hung from his belt. The last to retreat was Norvi. He kicked the skeleton behind him with all his might, jumping inward, and yelling, "Shut the door!"

The people on both sides exerted their strength at the same time and closed the door again.

Norway finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he pointed to Fili at the man who was being lowered to the ground by Akan as gently as possible under Naria's instructions, "I think that person needs your treatment. ”

Nigel walked over with a cold face.

Fili shrugged at the elf's puzzled gaze and whispered to him, "He's the priest of Anduhe......"

Novi was stunned for a moment, this was another unexpected situation.

"How's it going out there?" asked Fili, "how many undead are there?"

"More than thirty...... There may be more, about twenty or so who originally followed us, and although we got rid of it for the time being, it is very likely that they will follow here. ”

Fili scratched his head in disappointment, "You didn't see the necromancer?"

"No......," the elf recalled, "if you follow the tracks of those skeletons and find where they appeared, you might find the necromancer." But...... The skeletons had been elven warriors, and the only place in the city where it was possible to summon them in large numbers was the cemetery. ”

It's just that they really didn't have the time to look for the mage at that time.

"Where's the cemetery, is it possible for us to rush out and find the mage?" asked Risek, who had been standing silently on the side.

"Even if we can get out, we don't know how many skeletons are still roaming around the city...... And it's unlikely that the mage will stay where he is, waiting for us to find it. Norway replied, "Also, these skeletons...... It's a bit unusual. ”

He told Philip about the skeletal warriors' skillful fighting skills, as if they were self-conscious...... But he unconsciously remembered the body in the Tower of Atonement—he had not yet found a chance to bury him. But there was one word in the shocking handwriting on the wall that kept him uneasy.

Curse - he didn't know if it counted as a curse......

Then another word got into his ears.

"Pointy-eared demons. ”

The voice was so soft that the elf pretended not to hear. But then the buzz began to grow louder, and the sudden appearance of an elf clearly caused uneasiness.

"Pointy-eared demons!" someone in the crowd shouted boldly, "he summoned the skeletons!"

Anger hung over Norvi's brow. He could accept being misunderstood and feared by northerners who had never seen an elf, but being accused of being a necromancer was a great insult to an elf.

"Ha, I knew that kindness was not rewarded!" Tai scolded unceremoniously, "If it weren't for the people who saved you, we wouldn't have gotten into this stinking place and been pointed at by a bunch of idiots whose brains are no different from smelly milk!"

"Who knows if you saved him or if you killed him!" said the man who was called an idiot.

"He's not dead yet!" yelled Haryat, "shut up!"

"He's not dead, but he's not going to wake up that soon. Nigel, who had finished his treatment, stood up.

"Is this your priest?" Tess, who didn't hear Filly tell the elves, "but one person can't be completely cured! that's too far worse than Celebrian!"

She hadn't seen the half-elf, but she had heard of the miracles he had wrought, so she casually used them as a weapon to attack.

The priest of Anduhe, who had a rather bad temper, was surprisingly not angry.

Keller Brian...... Do you know that half-elf?" he asked.

"He was a friend of my father's. Naria replied.

"Who is your father?"

"Alan Carvo. ”

Nigel nodded pensively and said nothing.

"It's best to keep your friends calm, people here don't need any more excitement. Risek reminded Fili in a low voice.

Filly looked at Novi pleadingly.

The elf took Tess by the hand and dragged the girl into a corner who was like an angry wild cat and was ready to jump over to get on the fight. Fili and Risek followed. It didn't take long for Naria, Kharyat, and Nigel to join them. Akan sat in the doorway with his hammer in his hand, ignoring all curious and suspicious glances, staring motionlessly at the door that was still being pounded and pounded.

Filly pretended to be calm: "This is the elf from the south, Norway Sunstrider, this is Tess, this is Naria...... They were traveling around the neighborhood and I called them over to help. ”

"You've got a lot of friends, Paladin," Haryat snorted, "wouldn't there be any 'yours' out there?"

Fili had no choice but to giggle.

"Where's Ed?" asked Naria, who had been looking around.

Filly looked around desperately, wishing he could see the stinky boy emerge from somewhere, and give him a hateful, triumphant smile.

But today...... Goddess N'a probably has other things to do.

You can't escape what you should have.

He took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Ed and Eric...... They are missing. ”
