In Lucian's view, Yorick is a gravedigger, a mourner, or perhaps an avenger like himself.

As an Avenger, Lucian felt emotions similar to his own in Yorick.

And at the beginning, Rhodes thought so.

But later, as the group gradually went deeper into the Shadow Island, Rhodes gradually discovered that Yorick was different.

It seems that Yorick knows a lot of things that he doesn't know.

It's not just relatively simple information that "the terrain of the island is familiar to Yorick, and Maud Caesar and the others don't know about Yorick's existence, but Yorick knows where Maude Caesar is".

Yorick's cloak is a very clever piece of magical equipment that is resistant to magic.

Yorick can communicate with the undead he has summoned.

Yorick and Mokai seem to know each other.

These things are linked, and Rhodes has to take a fresh look at his temporary ally.

And when he actually visited the ruins that belonged to the previous magical era, Rhodes had even more doubts about the legend.

Hecarim and the Iron Regiment...... Why destroy Fuguang Island?

Legend has it that Hecarim and the Iron Regiment rebelled when they rejected the resurrection of the Empress when they rejected the mage on Fukuko Island, and then forcibly slaughtered all the mages on the island, and under the guidance of the betrayer Hammerstone, placed the Empress's body in the Fountain of Life.

However, after studying these mage towers, Rhodes found that with Hecarim's level, it was impossible for him to defeat the master of the mage towers if he was exhausted!

At this time, Rhodes smelled the smell of conspiracy.

What the hell has happened to Fukumitsu Island?!

No one was able to tell Rhodes.

And now, Yorick has quietly mobilized the architectural remains of these previous magical eras, which has led to more conjectures for Rod.

The past of Fuguang Island may not be as simple as the legend says.

Rhodes wanted to know what Fukumitsu Island had experienced in the first place.

In the face of Rod's doubts, Yorick told what he saw and what he saw.

"Fukuko Island...... That's a long time ago. ”

"I'm just a mourner, a gravedigger, a guide who maintains the boundaries between life and death, so I've always been outside the mage system of Fuguang Island, necromancy is a taboo in Fuguang Island, and my friend ...... Most of the dead were killed. ”

As Yorick spoke more and more, he grew fluent in his language, and when it came to his friends of the dead, Yorick waved at the ghouls beside him.

"But...... Anyway, I'm also a member of the Order, so I have a little bit of the Order's tricks and a little bit of what belongs to the Order...... It's also normal. ”

Rod nodded, signaling that he understood.

"And the fog on this island is a curse, this curse called the Ruined King is a kind of erosion for all the living, and the energy of the curse will continue to corrupt all those who come into contact with it until they die." Yorick continued, "When the curse broke out, I survived because of something peculiar - the entire Order didn't involve necromancy, so no one was prepared for the curse, except that I was lucky enough to survive the company of the dead all day. ”

"And that hammerstone...... In a sense, he's like me, he's the guardian of the Order's basement and a marginal man—but alas, he's been tainted by the dark stuff in the basement, and the hammerstone used to be an extremely tough man. ”

Hearing Hammerstone's name, Lucian subconsciously clenched his twin guns.

"And even more fortunately, there are some undead who still have a little bit of consciousness."

As he spoke, Yorick summoned a ghoul to his side.

"This is Old Karl, one of the elders of the Order, and it took me a lot of effort to find and appease him, and in his hands, I have the knack for revitalizing the Order's buildings."

Old Karl grew his mouth and let out an indefatigable roar of "ho-ho", as if echoing Yorick's description.

"I always thought of the deceased as my friend." Yorick smiled sinister at Carl Sr., "And I'm happy to send my friends where they're supposed to be—though that often means separation, forever." ”

"And now, a lot of times I have to keep them."

"I'm well aware that it's a taboo, and it shouldn't be — the dead shouldn't stay here, and I'm breaking the laws that should be there by doing so."

"However, I have no choice, and if I lose these friends, it means that I have given up resistance."

"I've stayed on the Isle of Shadows, and I've been trying to preserve everything here, and the precious knowledge here shouldn't be destroyed."

"It's my responsibility to guide the dead where they're supposed to be – but likewise, it's my responsibility to protect the last legacy of Fukukojima, and I've been torn and tormented for countless years."

"I was sometimes scared, afraid that I would be like a hammerstone and get used to going against the normal laws and fall into depravity."

"But I know very well that I have to break the 'should' rules – and thankfully, I met you."

"I don't know where you came from, but I believe in Rod."

"Trust me?" Rod's eyes widened in surprise, "Why believe me?" ”

"Because you're a mage, a mage who seeks the truth—like those in the Order." Yorick struggles to organize his language, "You keep this knowledge and pass it on, rather than using it as a tool to achieve your ambitions." ”

"Then I'm afraid you're wrong." Hearing Yorick say this, Rhodes pouted, "I'm a very greedy person, and I can't afford to make a profit—if I get what belongs to your order, I can't give them all." ”

"I didn't count on that." Yorick shook his head, "You'll only choose the useful parts of them, the rest...... I hope you will be able to hand it over to the proper heirs. ”

"Heir?"

"That's right." Yorick scratched his head and began to think carefully, "There are actually two parts of the Order, but before the curse broke out, those guys who were good at fighting left because of a rune of some kind - the situation seemed to be urgent, and basically everyone who had combat power left...... I still remember the huge leap circle - from the great mages and apprentices, as long as they are good at fighting, all of them left Fuguang Island. ”

"Do you know the names of those heirs?"

"A lot, I can't remember exactly, but I probably remember that the person who summoned them was called Ryze......"
