Chapter 25: The Light and the Dead

By the time the undead knights stood in line, it was already ten minutes later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Ash nodded to the group of spirited skeletons in front of him, and began to use his mental power to communicate with them about the events of this time.

Skeletons have no vocal cords and can't speak, but are able to reflect some images and some emotions to their owners. Ordinary skeletons may only reflect some vague images and emotions, but at the level of undead knights, the skeletons have formed a certain personality, reflecting a clear and coherent picture.

These skeleton undead knights, since they were conscious, were born in the undead space and have never been to human society. Most of the scenery in the undead space is dusty, and there are basically no other living things except for the undead creatures. It's not as green and vibrant as the human world.

So this patch, although dark and eerie, but crawling with green swamps, still brings a very novel feeling to the skeletons. As soon as Ash left, he walked around in twos and threes, and walked around the entire swamp.

There are all kinds of poisonous monsters in the swamp, and all kinds of plants are colorful and full of toxins. If ordinary humans don't carry the antidote with them, they will be poisoned to death before they go deep into the swamp.

However, the foul-smelling toxin in the swamp had no effect on the skeletons. They were covered in ribs, unable to arouse the appetite of the demonic beasts and carnivorous plants in the swamp, coupled with their lifeless skeletons, which exuded the smell of dead things at any time, so that most of the other lives walked around. So the twelve skeleton undead knights, as if entering a no-man's land, roamed in this swamp for many days.

The bones didn't know how to get tired, and turned the whole swamp around, nothing to tease and tease the man-eating flowers, and observe the predation of the monsters. Occasionally, he also sends kindness to save small animals in danger.

There are even worse ones that directly disguise themselves as delicacies, luring monsters and carnivorous plants to take the bait, and see how they are puzzled or can't wait to spit out after biting off the food, and are keen on pranks, and never get tired of it.

It wasn't until most of the carnivorous creatures in the entire swamp knew their great names that they sank into the swamp to rest one by one.

Ash was browsing the scenes with his mental power, and saw the bones provoking the bad-tempered monsters, provoking the carnivorous plants with wriggling roots, and running away if they couldn't beat them. After the fight, they beat up in groups, and they all looked like ruffians and hooligans, and they couldn't help but chuckle.

She didn't know how the skeletons she summoned were different from ordinary necromancers. But I think these bones are very interesting.

In these images, Ash also found a lot of useful information in them. For example, there are not necessarily some weak magical beasts in the swamp, but also powerful magical beasts that make the bones dodge, and they generally live in the depths of the swamp, as long as they do not go deep into the deepest part of the swamp. The swamp is safe for them. In addition, to her delight, she saw many rare herbs and plants, all of which could be used in potions or alchemy.

So after sorting out the information, the bones rushed to search for herbs with ashes, but because the places where these materials grew were scattered. Ash separated them from each other to look for them.

Bone Nine was proud, he found that he had an innate sensitivity to plants, herbs, and the like, and he didn't know what the green plants that had brought him to his attention were before. But now he knows what kind of herbs those are, and he is not only the first to memorize the ash requirements, but also the first to complete the picking of herbs.

On the other hand, when Ash was teaching him to take herbs, he was always attracted by something else, and the efficiency was the slowest one. Not. Even though I've grown a lot, it's still a child's heart.

One of the most ruffian bones is Bone One. After the picking task is completed. He also picked a small flower next to the picked plant to give to the ashes. However, it is a pity that he did not use the special tools given to them by Ash to fetch the flowers, but directly grasped them with his finger bones, and when he returned to Ash's side, the flowers could no longer stand the dead air of the undead and withered into a charred mass.

The little devil made a merciless sarcastic sound, causing a big blow to the bones, squatting on the ground tremblingly, wiping the eyeballless eye sockets, and the mandible hit the upper jaw bone again and again, as if a sad person was wiping tears and muttering to himself.

"Uh... Just a small flower..."

Sigma flapped her black wings and poked at the bone, seeing him crying silently and miserably, clutching her head, a little helpless.

Little devils can only fall into the well, not comfort people. But now that I'm so sad to see the bones, Sigma can't help it... After all, he is also a subordinate of his master.

Instead, he wanted to turn to Ash for help, but he saw the smile in her eyes, and then saw that the disease and the surrounding bones were all looking like they were watching a good show, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Okay, you're faking to cry!"

"Humph! You're all together to lie to me! ā€

As soon as the bones stood up, he pointed to Xiaohua and pointed to his left ribcage, connected the phalanx bones on both sides to make a heart, and then tilted them to both sides, indicating the appearance of heartbreak, which looked like a pantomime burlesque, which made everyone laugh.

But in retrospect, they had been under the swamp for days, and not a single fish had disappeared and the plants under the swamp had withered. If everyone around us is still in this state in the future, won't we be able to touch anything alive more?

In the past, life in the undead space was very monotonous, but since coming to the human world, the bones have fallen in love with this world of various colors. Especially Bone Nine, when he thought that he would not be able to get close to all kinds of green plants in the future, he was very anxious.

A group of bony eyes bent their eye sockets, looking at the ashes, almost without tears.

He thought it was amused, and his eyes widened as they were, and then he tilted his head, trying to pull his lips downwards to make a pitiful look.

The little devil was still angry, but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and said, "Master, that's what they said, we have to find a way to cover it up." ā€

"These bone guys, the undead aura on their bodies is too heavy, they will definitely be recognized by the Holy See!"

"When the time comes, we won't wait for us to find any gods, I'm afraid we will become the public enemy of the human race on this continent at the first time!"

Ash frowned slightly, although she compressed the dark element in the bones of the undead knights, raising the skeletons to a stage comparable to the silver skeletons in one fell swoop, but on the other hand, the stronger the bones, the more difficult it was to hide the aura of being an undead.

They learned a lot of common knowledge about this continent from Alyssa, for example, there is a lot of rejection of dark mages on this continent, and they worship the Holy See, the god of light. Dark mages are fine, they are just rejected and disliked, but for necromancers, this continent is completely disgusted and abandoned, and an attitude of killing them is adopted.

Alyssa has not had much contact with since she was a child, but she has also heard some rumors from some prostitutes who have served magicians, and has said that several times the discovery of necromancers has led to the encirclement and suppression of the entire Holy See and the Mercenary Guild.

Ash listened to what Alyssa had to say, and realized what had happened to those who had seen her use undead magic and be terrified.

It's because the people here are afraid of the necromancers that they want to kill them at all costs.

Thereinto... Inevitably, there are also reasons for the Holy See.

Every necromancer is an existence that has mastered a certain mystery of death. They are familiar with the texture of human bones, meridians, and muscles, and know various ways to deal with emergency injuries, and they can also let human beings escape from samsara to a certain extent and continue to live in the way of death.

Sevalonda's alchemy notes mention his friend several times, an archmage of Kirksi who wields necromantic magic. In his notebook, he wrote, "If a holy priest is a believer in reverence for the continuation of life, then a necromancer is a scientist who explores the mysteries of death." ā€

This simple comment shows that as the founder of alchemy and potions, Sevaronda has a high opinion and praise for the necromancer.

Death, in fact, is another form of life.

It's not just necromancers who have bad guys, but every necromancer on this continent has been identified as a heinous murderer.

For the sake of the dominance of the Holy See, I am afraid.

Light elemental magic and dark magic are each other's nemesis, and the branch of them, divine magic, is the only existence that can completely banish undead magic.

In order for the Holy See to be firmly stationed, blossom and bear fruit, and to be believed by countless people, the only way to do this is to create a common enemy.

Now that this continent has been brainwashed by the teachings of the Holy See for many years, necromancers have become an indelible fear in the hearts of everyone on the mainland.

With the exception of a few outlaws, or people like Alyssa who have strong beliefs, few humans can face their existence.

Thinking of this, Ash had to thank the note, which I don't know if it crossed the ocean, or if it was handed down from ancient times, and finally reached Alyssa's hand several times.

Only a few pages were thrown away as garbage, but in the end, the young Alyssa picked up the house where she lived.

As a child, Alyssa, like other Silmilan children, longed to read and write. Just thinking about being able to learn a little more will make a way to change your life. But while Alyssa gradually learned some words and slowly understood the meaning of those words, she also learned to face the cruel reality.

With a kind personality, she has always been bullied. So even at the age when her facial features are growing, she is still thin and shriveled like a bean sprout, so she was thrown into a pair of the most inferior foot-washing girls, and she was not even as hungry as she once was.

In that kind of life, those dozen short teachings have become the light that Alyssa has always insisted on in her heart. After that, the spirit appeared in her body, protecting her unconsciously, and also making Alyssa unconsciously understand the teachings of the God of Light.
