Before Lint asked to meet Bran as a messenger, the scholars had already completed their meeting with Bran. A decent, but not friendly, meeting. As an established power, the scholar naturally has a kind of arrogance, even if it is an outpouring of opinion, it is enough to make Bran scorn.

Bran was met by Jonah, the leader of the scholars' team. He offered to mediate the conflict between Bran and Anya in exchange for the secret of the necromancy, but Bran decisively refused. Although Bran is not clear about the cause of this, it does not prevent him from using it as a bargaining chip. Bran wanted a more rational exchange of knowledge, and he wanted to get books on geography and history.

In order to convince Bran, Jonah made it clear that the Anya people came this time, not as simple as revenge. At first, some people did want to help their friends get revenge, but as events unfolded, the purpose was no longer so simple. They are more attracted to the secrets of wizards, which is why so many "allies" are moved.

With such a mix of forces, any opponent needs to consider one or two. Not only do they have knights who are proficient in swords, shooters who are good at all shots, but also a large number of wizards. Through this contest, they will make your Northland realize the power of the Northland, and finally force you to hand over this secret.

In the face of Jonah's face of "I am good for you", Bran can clearly see that there is no difference between scholars and Anyas, they are both calculating. One uses the righteousness of revenge to suppress others, and the other takes advantage of the situation in the name of help. But all their calculations are based on past experience. Now Bran doesn't want to dwell on this matter, this kind of vain arrogance can only be defeated by facts. Rise will always require some sacrifices, and he will make the world realize that a new era has come.

Bran then shifted the conversation to his more interesting direction, and he asked his own question: "What is it that makes you so urgent?"

Jonah did not hide it, "Knowledge needs to be accumulated, and any old scholar is extremely valuable." But people will eventually die, and the appearance of the dead spirit has given me hope. ”

Bran keenly caught the question, "I? is your personal decision?"

"At the moment yes, but I'm sure they'll support my idea. ”

"No one chooses to die, even if he's dying?" Bran whispered.

Jonah looked down at Bran and said condescendingly, "We are scholars!"

With these words, Jonah unexpectedly exuded a faint smell of blood, which made Bran squint.

Bran raised his head and began to look squarely at the man in front of him. From this sentence, he heard the taste of unscrupulousness. Again, he said this is the Northland. Bran took a deep breath, he loved the taste, it hadn't been felt in a long time since he had returned from the trial. For the sake of pursuit, for some kind of recognition.

"Most of your companions won't agree. Bran reminded, "But I'll support you, and if they let you down, you can come back to me." ”

After the meeting, Jonah and the others were arranged to stay in the city. Bran said to surprise a few people, a big surprise.

......

Sandstone City has never been quiet, and after Bran makes contact with the dead, the dead find a way to contact him. All kinds of voices kept coming this way. Although Bran was silent, the dead did not give up. A few days ago, cheers could be heard from the direction of Sandstone City, and a new dead joined them.

Underneath, there is a force that makes all of this happen. Even if Bran doesn't want to think about it, doesn't want to admit it. He could feel like a virus, his abilities constantly assimilating and infecting everything around him. After his mana is completely active, assimilation begins to become uncontrollable, and the difference between intentional and unintentional is only the difference in the speed of infection.

Sandstone, an inconspicuous stone, is the main building material for the construction of sandstone castle. Who would have thought, who would have thought that after being infected by his own magic power, there would be an unknown change.

Everything seems to have been arranged, he became a wizard, met the goblins, came here, walked into Sandstone City, and finally the dead appeared.

What am I? Bran wasn't just a little confused. Am I the living or the dead, and what do I have to do with this body? He thought he was a Northland through and through, at least he had made himself believe that. But with the appearance of the dead, he hesitated.

A mirror appeared in Bran's hand, and the person in the mirror made him feel a little strange. Who am I? This question, which had not arisen for a long time, reappeared in Bran's consciousness.

The sandstone in Sandstone City is anything but ordinary, and must have its own peculiarities. But Bran, under the domination of fear, chose to stay away from there, and he was really scared this time. But he couldn't help but be curious, so he decided to explore the secret through someone else's hands.

The scholar, Jonah, came at the right time. He completely subverted Bran's impression of scholars, which was what Sean called indifferent, erudite, and detached. He felt depressed, unwilling, and cold-blooded in Jonah. How many such characters are there in the City of Wisdom? In the experiment of life and death, there will be no fewer people who die, and such people are just right.

......

Jonah and the others didn't wait long, and the surprise came very quickly. Stripped corpses, stripped of their armor, hung on both sides of the road, and lined up for a long, long distance, as if there was no end in sight......

Bran's faint tone seemed to still echo in their ears: "I'll send you here, I believe you will recognize the way back." ”

They made a big joke, and the chips they used to exchange were easily erased. At the same time gave them a warning, a very harsh warning.

......

The Night Stalker has once again brought new news to the City of Wisdom, one that could change the future - Necromancy!

Originally, it was indeed as Bran had conjectured: "No one chooses to die, even if he does." ”

It's not Bran's imagination, because he's seen too many choices for the dying, the choice to do anything for his life. Even if some of the choices seem undignified to him, they are accompanied by great suffering.

The scholars were arguing and shouting, and the whole city of wisdom seemed a little chaotic. Until someone said a word with a strange magic - eternal life.
