"Sister, I'm afraid. In the dimly lit underground passage, a young boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in a complicated robe, clutched at the corner of a young girl's long skirt with a look of panic and sadness on his face.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my sister will protect you. The girl, who was clutching a short cane tightly in her hand, heard her brother's shout, and quickly lowered her head, and squeezed out a very stiff smile on her face.

"Not only will my sister protect you, but these brave and fearless battles will protect you as well. The girl in a white aristocratic dress squatted down, stared at her brother's immature face, and pointed to the more than twenty guards in steel armor in one hand and a shield in the other.

"I don't want them to protect me, I want my dad to protect me. When the child heard his sister's comfort, tears fell from his eyes, and he threw himself into his sister's arms and let out a slight whimper: "Sister, can you tell me when Daddy will be back?"

"......" The girl felt the whimper of her brother's efforts in her arms, and her eyes turned red in an instant, "Father has gone out to protect Ansel's people, and he can't come back for the time being." ”

"I want Dad. The eight-year-old boy sobbed quietly, and his intelligence, having received a complete aristocratic education since he could remember, was comparable to that of some fifteen or sixteen-year-old commoner boys.

So, through where he is now, the child knows that now is not the place where he can vent his negative emotions, and he knows to control his emotions.

When following his sister under the protection of the family's guardian knight and entering the escape corridor prepared under his family's castle, when he saw the necromantic skeletons that were almost crowded with the corridor, the child knew that their situation was very bad, and now was not the time for him to lose his temper and be willful.

The child recalls what happened not long ago—he was sitting in his room, taking questions from his personal teacher, while his father was smiling, but for some reason, the air suddenly became oppressive and uncomfortable, just like he felt when he was drowning at the age of five.

He saw with his own eyes that his gray-haired instructor was clutching his chest, and his face was so pale that he fell to the ground. At the same time, he heard the deafening explosion and the faint roar and screams outside the window.

I also saw my father standing aside, and at that moment, a brilliant crimson fighting aura burst out, instantly dispelling the cold feeling that shrouded him.

Just as he was about to throw himself into his father's arms, his father grabbed him with a serious face and handed him over to his sister, who had come running with a look of panic.

The next moment, lying in his sister's arms, he saw his father, pulling out his sword, putting on his armor, and rising to the sky, before leaving, he heard his father's last words to his sister,

"Olena, take your brother with you, run, do everything you can to go to the city of Asrael and seek the protection of Lord Marquis Luther. ”

The child knew that it would probably be the last time he would see his father, for he had never seen him so solemn and solemn.

......Miss, what now?" a guard asked in a low voice as he looked at the two siblings who were being protected by them with a look of horror on his face.

"In accordance with my father's last order, I will do everything I can to go to the territory of Asriel and seek refuge from Lord Marquis Luther. The girl Olena replied with a resolute face.

"But, Miss, you also know that all the teleportation arrays in the castle are no longer usable, and the three escape routes under the castle are all filled with skeleton shelves, and we have no way to get to Asriel City. ”

"There's another way. Olena's face showed a hint of determination, "Go straight to the ground." ”

"But, Miss, Ansell City is full of undead now, and if we want to rush out with you, the risk is too great, and it is difficult for us to guarantee that you will not be harmed in any way. ”

"I'm a Silver Second Order Mage, and I don't need your protection. Olena said with a straight face. "All you need to do is protect my brother. ”

"Sister, can't we stay in the castle?" said the young boy who threw himself in the girl's flat arms, looking up timidly.

"No, you can't. Olena shook her head without hesitation, "We can't stay inside the castle. ”

"Why can't you stay in the castle?" asked the young guard with a puzzled look, "Miss, according to what the young master said, stay in the castle, just open the defensive circle and wait for rescue." Those low-level undead skeletons in Ansel City will definitely not be able to shake the castle's defenses, and we will be safe. ”

"Safety is only temporary, if we don't run now, in the end, we will end up like those skeletons.

What do you think the corpses buried in the cemetery move, and why do the dry bones buried deep in the ground turn into undead and crawl out?"

"Why?" asked the young guard, a little dumbfounded, not knowing why everything that had been peaceful and beautiful had come to this.

"Because there is a being who has cast a top necromantic spell that envelops the entire city, the Undead Scourge. Olena's face turned blue, and the more she knew, the more terrified she became, "That's why the dead will be resurrected." ”

"The coverage and duration of the Undead Scourge are determined by the caster's level of understanding and strength. And the one who performed the undead scourge on our Ansel City is likely to be a legendary necromancer. ”

"Legendary?

"Yes, how is it possible, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I don't believe that a legendary mage would have descended on Ansell City. ”

Olena recalls the horrific scenes before the disaster that made her almost suffocate.

At that time, Olena was holding a spell book, in the castle garden, swinging, reading a book, quite leisurely. But as she felt a cold, piercing ripple sweep across the ground beneath her feet.

The aristocratic girl watched as one white bone arm after another poked out from the dirt under the scarlet flowers in front of her, and then a low-level skeleton soldier with a mutilated body crawled out, forming a very impactful picture.

Of course, this is just scary, not shocking. What happened next really made this aristocratic girl unforgettable for the rest of her life.

A thick white bone giant hand and a skeleton soldier crawling out of the ground suddenly appeared above the temple area in Ansell City, and then wrapped in a terrifying death aura and curse, slapped all the temples.

In the midst of the archbishop's rebuke and the roar of the paladin, the white bone giant hand wiped out the temple area with a single slap......
