Gaudus and Alice reopened Joan of Arc's grave and buried her back there.

All morning, two men were doing this. When the last handful of loess was buried, Alice could no longer hold it up, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Gao Duo picked up Alice, touched her forehead, and said, "You have a fever." ”

Alice shook her head and said, "Really? It doesn't matter, just boil some herbs and eat them. ”

Alice spoke lightly, but she was sweating profusely all the time on her forehead and her face was tired, and it was clear that the situation was not very good.

"Actually, I won't get tired of doing this kind of physical work all day." Gaudus sighed and continued, "Why force yourself? ”

"Because I want to do something for you, and for Sister Joan of Arc." Alice lowered her head and said, "From beginning to end, I only followed behind you, I couldn't do anything, only this one, I can help you." ”

Gaudus was silent, and took out a thick cotton coat from her baggage and put it on her, and now she had four coats, wrapped like a fur ball.

"What are your plans?" Alice asked suddenly.

"I want to go back to... Back to my teacher. ”

"Teacher? Is he also a necromancer? ”

"Well, he's dead, though."

"Huh? I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Gaudus smiled and shook his head, indicating that it didn't matter.

Although the old necromancer was responsible for transforming himself from a living person to a half-dead, he taught himself the only magic [Skeleton Exorcist], and the original owner of this body used his [Soul] ability to improve it into a [Domination Skeleton]... In a sense, he was his first teacher.

If nothing else, the lab would have burned down, but if you're lucky, you might be able to dig through the ruins a page or two of an old necromancer's book or notes, or even an entire book of necromancers.

The old necromancer was a man of great academic and theoretical knowledge, with a lot of ingenious necromancy, and his manuscripts would be of great help to him in refining his magic.

"You're with me." "I don't know how to cook, you have to take care of me." ”

Alice was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Instead of using an inquiring tone, Gaudus showed an attitude that could not be refused. Alice is sick now, alone, and she is beautiful, if she is not with her, in this wilderness, something will definitely happen.

Obviously, Alice is a good girl who doesn't want to cause trouble for others, and she has to use this reason to keep her by her side.

"Alright, let's go."

"Hmm."

The two supported each other and walked together.

As a veteran of the game Sword and Sorcery, picking up corpses has become another instinct of Gados. Like those ordinary mountain bandits, there are no decent trophies on them at all, and the short swords and axes on those whiteboards are all rubbish, but the stabbing sword attribute of the mountain bandit leader is not bad.

【Savoy Officer's Stabbing Sword】

[Introduction: A kind of saber loved by the knights of Savoy, the specifications are between the great sword and the knight's sword, with a beautiful straight edge and an even shallow arc to close the edge, and the power of both slashing and stabbing is its greatest advantage.] 】

[Type: One-handed, sword-like weapon.] 】

[Grade: White.] 】

[Condition: Good.] 】

[Equipment requirements: 8 strength.] 】

Gao Duos carefully rubbed the intricate silver-plated pattern engraved on the sword, thinking that this must be the beloved object of some strange knight, and that the material and workmanship of the sword alone must have come from the pen of some old craftsman, and if it was to be sold for money, the value of 10 gold coins must be there.

Thinking so, he tucked his sword into the skin's scabbard. The scabbard was rudimentary, but it was a good way to disguise the true value of the sword.

In addition, Gaudus suddenly found that he had many new memories in his mind, such as the names of his parents, the names of the old necromancer, and a new magical spell!

【Bone Guardian Lv1】

[Description: Create a bone shield that hovers around you to defend against attacks from outside enemies.] 】

[Rank: 1 ring.] 】

[Type: Defense.] 】

[Sequence: Undead.] 】

[Class requirements: Necromancer/Necromancer lv1, or mage class lv5.] 】

[Ability requirements: Undead lv1, caster lv1, chant lv1.] 】

Gaudus understood that this should be the result of soul fusion.

The first thing to understand is that he, as an outsider, only occupies the body of Gados and uses his own will as the main thing, merging his soul and inheriting his memories.

This is why the current Gaudus is inexplicably sad after hearing the bad news that the village of the Holy Maiden has been ransacked.

But this person is an outsider after all, and the soul fusion is not perfect, and the fused party will resist, so many memories are missing.

However, after killing the leader of the mountain bandits, Gao Duos got his revenge, and the original Gao Duos would no longer be so resistant to the current Gao Duosi, and naturally those missing memories were restored.

After figuring out the joints, Gao Duosi immediately found that his five abilities of [Undead], [Soul], [Domination], [Spellcasting], and [Chanting] had all been upgraded by 1, and now all of them were lv2.

The journey to the lab was a long one, and a whole day was spent on a long trek, and dusk had arrived.

"Hold on a little longer, and there is Sindh Town ahead." Gaudus looked at the bright lights in front of him and said to Alice, who was lying on his back.

Alice said "um" softly, and did not speak again, at this time she was trembling all over, and her originally red lips revealed a sickly paleness, and she was even unable to walk, it seemed that her condition was very serious.

Gaudus sighed softly, indeed, the full 13-hour trek was indeed a bit difficult for Alice.

Sindh Town is different from the small mountain village of the Holy Maiden, and although it is still dwarfed by the big cities, it has a lot of resources, such as taverns, hotels, brothels, blacksmiths, and even a small library, which basically covers all the basic functions of the city.

He found a small hotel and opened a small room to settle Alice. The hotel is built entirely of wood, which looks simple but clean.

Gaudus stole some gold and silver coins from the dead bandits, not much, but enough to cover the cost of food and shelter on the road.

Gao Duosi helped Alice to lie down on the bed, and said softly, "You rest for a while, and I'll go buy medicine." ”

Alice smiled and nodded.

After settling Alice, Gaudus went to the pharmacy, bought some potions for the symptoms of colds and colds, and then returned to his room and fed Alice warm water.

These potions themselves also have the function of sleeping well, and coupled with this travel, Alice fell asleep soon after taking the medicine.

Gados watched Alice fall asleep, pulled up the quilt for her, and left.

In fact, it was not a coincidence that he passed through Sindh Town, but for an ulterior purpose.

Sindh Town is not an ordinary town, in fact, at the beginning of the open beta of the game "Sword and Sorcery", this is one of the 4 birthplaces for novices, and like all birthplaces, here, every player can harvest the first ability learning book that matches their class, such as "Introduction to Fire Magic", "Fundamentals of Swordsmanship", "Codex of the Apprentice of the Dead", "First Glimpse of the Soul" and so on.

Gaudus's trip was to prepare for the completion of this matter.

On the edge of Sindh Town, there is an abandoned cemetery, and deep inside the cemetery is a ruined church, where all players can find the book.

It was already evening, and Gaudus first went to the grocery store, sold the bag of birch arrows, bought a jar of the best and most expensive oil, a pine torch, and a flint and steel, and left.

Gaudus walked down the sparsely populated streets, wearing a hood that hid his mysterious pale gray hair, and from time to time he looked away, observing everything around him out of the corner of his eye.

In fact, from the perspective of the setting in the game, Sindh Town, as the birthplace of a novice, has simple folk customs and a very safe environment, so there is no need for Gao Duos to be so cautious, but after all, he has the dual taboo status of "half-dead" and "necromancer", no matter how cautious he is, it is not too much.

In this way, Gaudus walked through the streets and alleys, and finally found the abandoned cemetery in a grove on the edge of the town.

The moonlit cemetery reflects a hazy bright silver sheen, but the broken tombstones add to the gloom of the scene. It seems to be a peaceful place, but only Gaudus knows that there is actually a murderous motive hidden here.

Gaudus walked through the group of tombstones and stood at the door of the church, which was in a dilapidated state, and the gap between the two door panels was covered with cobwebs, and indeed the place had been abandoned for a long time, as described in the game documentation.

The familiar scenes gave Gaudos a bit of confidence in the future, and it seemed that his knowledge of the game scene could be applied to this world.

Gaudus lit his torch, pushed open the door, and entered the church, where the moonlight shone on his body, pulling a long shadow on the ground, and at his feet, two corpses, a man and a woman, sitting quietly on the ground, the one apparently male, holding a rusty cross-infantry sword in his hand, and a dagger stuck in the chest of the female corpse.

This is supposed to be a martyred couple.

There was a faint smell of embalming in the air, and the two bodies remained fresh.

Corpses are always scary, but that doesn't frighten Gauldos, because in the game, there are also two corpses in this church, and a key can be found on them.

Out of reverence for the dead, Gaudus folded his hands in front of the two corpses, and then searched their bodies, and sure enough, he found a key.
