General Iros is insidious and cunning.

After His Royal Highness Albert recklessly left, he immediately sent someone to make a small report to the emperor in the starry night. It is nothing more than saying that His Royal Highness has left his post without permission, and suggests that His Majesty should not only severely punish him to warn the world, but also need to investigate the responsibility of Duke Borot's failure to teach his son and the failure to investigate the use of people.

In addition to this, the general secretly called the necromancer and asked him to track down Albert and monitor him until he returned to Solo City. If His Highness changes his mind or goes to stay elsewhere, he will act on the opportunity.

For Benedict and his party, who were holding the Pope's chartered indulgence, the general changed his strategy and decided to cooperate with them first. If any treasure is found, both the Emperor and the Pope will be rewarded. If the expedition fails, they are all killed, and it is declared that they were killed by monsters and traps, which is purely accidental.

......

The necromancer didn't dare to slack off, and quietly followed His Highness Albert with a ten-foot invisibility technique all the way. After a long time of turbulence, he gradually became a little paralyzed and relaxed. At the moment when His Highness turned his horse's head and prepared to rush back to Grid City, the mage's invisibility technique was about to fail, but fortunately, he improvised and made up a shadow door in time, and hid with him with the horse under his crotch.

The necromancer secretly admired the general's clever calculation in his heart: "After all, this highness is young, and he lacks a clue in doing things, and it all depends on a whim. ”

After Albert strayed into the ruins of an abandoned ancient monastery, the necromancer pondered for a long time and came up with a plan. He let the horses gallop at the entrance of the monastery, while he hid himself in the shadows to observe.

The old man in black and Albert in the monastery only heard the horse's hooves, but no one came in, and they were puzzled. Albert muttered quietly, "My horse is tied." ”

The old man in black asked Albert to stay still for the time being, and went out to find out what the situation was.

The galloping horse in front of the door was no ordinary horse, it was black and shiny from top to bottom, shining in the sunlight, and it was one of the necromancer's favorite treasures.

When the old man in black opened the courtyard door, he saw that it spread its legs and kept circling in circles, and there was no one on the horse's back, and there were no people around. For the sake of safety, he recited words in his mouth and casually performed an animal fixation method.

But what is surprising is that this method is ineffective, which makes him amazed.

The necromancer secretly sneered in his heart: "This horse is not a physical body, it was created by me studying the art of necromancy for many years. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel proud.

This pride was immediately discovered by the old man in black. He lived in a monastery for more than ten years, and not only did he have a deep knowledge of magic, but he also trained his hearing to be extraordinary. The man in black immediately strode towards the necromancer's hiding place.

Seeing that the situation was compelling, the necromancer had to take the initiative to jump out and talk: "I have no malicious intentions, but this place is inaccessible and dilapidated. ”

"Then why did you get here?" the old man in black looked up and down at the strange man dressed as a businessman.

"Recently, the road has not been very peaceful, and there are often people from Cortes heretics and people who gather in the mountains and forests to rob them. I was entrusted by Iros, the general of the Praetorian Guard of Gled City, to secretly protect His Royal Highness Albert, the son of Duke Borot, and return to Solo City. But His Highness seems to have changed his mind, and when he was about to return to Gled City, he took a fork in the road and came here. I saw that His Highness had not come out for a long time, and my heart was anxious, so I came up with this method to find out the details. ”

"There is no His Highness here. The man in black said coldly. The powerful magical aura on the necromancer's body made him vigilant, coupled with the strange horse just now.

"My lord, you said that there is no His Highness here, so who is the person who went in just now, and who is this white horse in front of the door?"

Just as the old man was about to explain, Albert strode out of the monastery, and he had an impression of the necromancer and knew that he was Iros' right-hand man.

"Since the general is so concerned about my safety, then I am disrespectful!" His Royal Highness said, and said to the old man in black: "Sir, take care, we will definitely meet again!"

The old man stopped talking, and the necromancer triumphed.

Before leaving the abbey, Albert left a message on the wall with his short sword: "I will come back with Benedict." ”

......

Benedict was discussing the exploration of the crypt with the dwarven Kegun, the thief Best, and the elf druid Melanie.

Now a few of them have become official people. Not only were they entertained with good wine and meat, but the Praetorian Guards guarded the door for them.

Kegun's wine was glass after glass, and Bester was not to be outdone, filling pieces of braised pork into his already bulging belly.

Melanie was only a vegetarian, and Benedict didn't have much of an appetite.

Best tried his best to please the elf girl: "Sister Mei, you can eat it, how delicious it is, if you don't eat it now, when you are hungry in the future, you will not even have the qualification to remember." ”

Melanie ignored him, and she whispered to Benedict about what to do: "Those Praetorian Guards are not so much here to help us as to spy on us. ”

"Well, we don't need to take them with us when we go down the crypt tunnels. If we do find the treasure on this trip, there may be a chance to live, but if we can't find it, I'm afraid that the general will execute us on the spot under various names. Benedict in his words.

"The image of Kai Gen shows that there is a tunnel under the eastern wall, which has already collapsed due to the earthquake. Can we take advantage of it?" Melanie said, leaning closer to Benedict's ear.

When the thief Bester saw this, he immediately became jealous and shouted: "Sister, how can you like an old man? ”

"You know what a!" Kagene scolded from the side, partly because he had drunk too much, and secondly because he knew that Melanie was discussing countermeasures with Benedict.

"The east is indeed worth considering, but since the mysterious disappearance of the Orlint Empire, the east has become a barren land, and coupled with the terrible rift valley created by the earthquake, we must be fully prepared to avoid the dilemma of just leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth. Benedict said.

"My lord, as long as I can stay away from Gred City, I can use the power of nature to teleport us all back to my hometown of Oak. ”

"Girl, why don't you do it now, if you're so powerful?" said Kagun, who opened his voice.

Melanie shook her head repeatedly, and she only explained to Benedict alone: "This city is full of miasma, and natural magic is bound here. ”

The old man nodded again and again, as a magician, like Melanie, he had already felt the different evil aura of this city. The necromancer and the vampire were just skins and scraps, and the deeper evil lurked underground, chilling.

The old man thought of what had happened to the ancient monastery of Coriaar near the city of Grad more than ten years ago, and he thought to himself: "The prophet Cyril must be hiding a secret that can destroy the world." The tombs of Grid City are clearly the place where the treasures of the ancient Empire of Venn were buried, and it is very likely that the prophet was also implicated. ”

"It must not be a coincidence that these two places are so close to each other!" Benedict thought and couldn't help but exclaim.

Melanie didn't know about the convent, so she asked why.

The old man was about to explain when the general's voice came from outside the door.

"Guys, when are you going to get started?" said Iros, scraping his hands.

"Tomorrow. Benedict replied.

"How many people do you need?"

"Your Excellency, your Praetorian Guard has the important duty of guarding the city of Gread. There is a lot of evil spirit under the tomb, and in order not to let His Majesty the Emperor suffer losses, you should let them help us guard the entrance to the tomb. In case some demon or monster escapes, you can catch the weak one on the spot, and if you are strong, you can block the entrance, and I, as the special envoy of the Holy See, have long been ready to sacrifice for this. ”

General Iros was worried about something, but when he heard Benedict say this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Your Excellency's high demeanor is really admirable. It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and after the matter is completed, I will definitely ask His Majesty the Emperor to give you a reward. If you are unfortunate enough to have three longs and two shortcomings, I will definitely convey your words to Your Majesty and His Holiness, and the world will surely admire you. ”

"The threat from the northern Dessertes is getting more and more serious, and this sacrifice is nothing for the sake of the Tamborance Empire and for the sake of our Bojiao. The treasures of the ancient empire of Venen, together with the relics of the possible prophet Cyril, will certainly be beneficial for the holy war. Benedict talked a lot, and when he talked to Kaygan and Melanie afterwards, he blushed for a long time.

The general stroked the beard on the side of his cheek with satisfaction.

......

Early the next morning, when the crowd was about to stop and go down to the tomb, His Highness Albert arrived.

Originally, the ancient monastery of Coriaar was not far from the city of Greed, and it was possible to make a round trip in less than two hours after riding a fast horse. But the necromancer and Albert had their own agendas, pulling each other's skins, pushing and shoving, and procrastinating. One thought about how to restore the general after he returned, and the other thought about how to deal with the general, how to get along with Benedict, and so on. After such a toss, the two of them sat on the horse and swayed for a night without any sleep.

The general was very unhappy to see that Albert was back, but this really couldn't be blamed on the necromancer, he was not so bold as to dare to touch the legal heir of the Duchy of Borot.

When Albert learns that Benedict and his party are now going to explore the tomb, he immediately decides to join them. The general pretended to stay, and even moved out of Duke Borot, saying that the Duke has only one son, and if you go down, there are three long and two short, and you are not good at dealing with each other. Albert knew his hypocrisy, so he didn't distinguish between them, and was determined to follow.

When Iros saw that the time was ripe, he did not hold back. The Emperor's flying pigeon has arrived, so he decides to kill him. Diviot is waiting for the collapse of the Duchy of Borot, so why don't he take the initiative to do this!

Benedict and the others had a glimmer of life, but the general was thoughtful, and he considered that Albert was Benedict's illegitimate son, so how could he not eradicate the grass!
