"Miss Jessica." The man glanced at Jessica's jug containing the secret potion, and then asked, "This is arguably the easiest task I've accomplished in all my years of wandering the Death Desert."

In the more than ten days we have been in the Desert of Death, we have not encountered a single attack by the undead, and it is as easy as coming here for a vacation. When I went back, I was embarrassed to brag to my peers...... My mercenary group and I accompanied world-renowned adventurers Sir Charles and Miss Jessica to the Desert of Death in search of buried ancient ruins.

Miss Jessica, how did you do that? ”

Jessica glanced at the mercenary next to her and said, "Captain Stilwell...... Wouldn't it be good if there were no undead to attack us? Sir Charles and I have chosen to hire you to escort us into the Death Desert because you are in the Death Desert area...... The mercenary group with the highest mission completion rate.

We're here to find ancient ruins, not to experience what it's like to be attacked by the undead. So far, your mission has been very well accomplished, and I think Sir Charles will be more than willing to do it after the mission is over...... And give you a handsome extra reward. ”

Jessica knows...... The fact that he had not encountered an undead attack along the way had already made Stilwell suspicious. But she didn't plan to tell the other party about the secret potion, after all, anything related to the undead was taboo, and she didn't want these mercenaries to associate herself with the necromancers who desecrated corpses.

There is a group of magicians in this world who specialize in the study of the undead and are known as necromancers. They capture the undead who exist, or simply steal corpses and use necromancy to transform them into undead, in an attempt to gain immortality by searching for the secrets of the undead.

The desecration of corpses makes the necromancer a spurned being, a street rat that everyone shouts at.

But necromancers do have a lot of spells that can control the undead. Jessica's secret potion made using her own blood is very similar to necromancer spells in its effect on exorcising the undead. If Captain Stilwell were to confirm that the team had no undead to be associated with Jessica, it would definitely cause her and Sir Charles big trouble.

Jessica's explanation obviously couldn't dispel Stilwell's suspicions, and he continued to ask, "Miss Jessica, can I see what's in your kettle?" Why do you dip a magic wand in something when you cast a spell? ”

"Of course it's water in the kettle?" Jessica said Stilwell's question was funny: "I dipped my wand in a little water when I cast a spell because water magic works very poorly in a dry desert environment...... With a little bit of medium-based magic, more water can be gathered to form rainfall.

Captain Stilwell, I'm a Rank 10 Magister...... I don't need to explain too much to you when it comes to magic.

And I need to remind you...... Mercenaries have mercenary rules: collect money to do things, don't ask, don't look more, don't take more things. I reserve the right to file a complaint against you and your mercenary group, and I don't think you want your credit score to be lowered in the mercenary industry, right? ”

Jessica faintly threatened Captain Stilwell.

Mercenaries are an industry with a relatively low threshold, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can do this business, but those who can really make money in this industry are always with good credit. No employer is willing to hand over their safety to mercenaries with low credit; Nor is there an employer willing to hire a mercenary with low credit to accompany him to explore the ruins in search of treasure.

Sir Charles is a very well-known person in the world, and if he complains about Stilwell's mercenary group, it will definitely greatly reduce his credit rating.

Stilwell could not have searched Jessica without evidence. And Jessica is a 10th-order magister, plus Sir Charles's unknown strength, it really fights...... His mercenary group must have suffered heavy losses.

After touching a soft nail, Stilwell smiled awkwardly and slowly stepped back after saluting Jessica.

Stilwell's retreat made Jessica secretly breathe a sigh of relief, she knew that it was really weird not to encounter a sneak attack by the undead in the Desert of Death, but if she stopped using the secret medicine, there was no guarantee that she would be attacked by the undead...... Whether it's a few skeletons, or a group of carrion lickers that suddenly emerge from the sand, it's even more troublesome if you encounter a naphtha march.

And stopping the release of the secret elixir at this time, after encountering an undead attack, will only make Stilwell more convinced...... Previously, the undead were banished by themselves using "necromancy".

Jessica glanced back at Sir Charles, who was walking in the middle of the line.

At this time, Sir Charles was completely immersed in the search for ancient ruins, riding a camel to look up, and occasionally picking up a camera hanging from his chest to photograph the sand dunes not far away.

I don't know if he didn't see what happened to Jessica, or if he believed that his right-hand man could handle such a small thing.

Looking at Stilwell, he had retreated to the back of the group, and a few mercenaries were guarding the back of the adventure party...... They are both the most experienced mercenaries, having been hired many times to go deep into the Desert of Death for protection, knowing that most of the time, attacks from behind are more deadly.

When Jessica saw Stilwell, Stilwell looked at Jessica as well.

After making sure that his voice would not be heard by the person in front of him, Stilwell said to a mercenary next to him who was wrapped in a cloak, "I just tested Jessica, and she is calm...... I can't tell if she's using necromancy to banish the undead, and she doesn't look like a necromancer who studies necromancers.

Her skin is shiny and elastic, untouched by dead air. Very beautiful and very charismatic...... If I could buy her for one night, I would be willing to break the bank. ”

As Stilwell spoke, he reached out to Jessica to say hello, and the response was ...... The beauty twisted her head and fired another water balloon into the air.

The light rain that rained down and cooled the temperature down considerably, was the most luxurious pleasure for those who walked in the desert, and even the camels chirped happily and stuck out their tongues to lick the falling raindrops.

The man in the cloak wore a hood and a face covered with a face veil to block the wind and sand. People who explore in the desert are basically dressed like this, in order to prevent the skin from being exposed to the sun and reduce the excessive loss of water in the body, but the breath that flows from this person is a little cold.

He took a deep breath of slightly damp air, and then said, "I was right, this rain has added something to us, so that the undead under our feet have no action. ”
