"It's really unlucky, and I didn't steal the money...... Song Zheng also complained at the moment.

He had just accidentally met those mages of the Cursed Church, and when he was leaving, he couldn't help but use the 'stealing' skill again.

Originally, he thought that the mages would have a lot of money on their bodies, but this time what appeared in his hands was a black and hard thing.

Fearing that his identity would be revealed, he didn't immediately open the 'stolen goods' to check them, but quickly ran a long way to the east, and then ran some distance to the north, and only after burrowing into a dense forest did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and take out the stolen things.

However, after discovering that what he had stolen was a book, Song Zheng was extremely disappointed.

The book in his hand was not thick, the cover was black, very hard, but not metal.

"There shouldn't be plastic in this world...... Song Zheng carefully touched the cover of the book, feeling that it was more like some kind of animal scales.

With his excellent night vision, Song Zheng can see the content of the book very clearly.

The main part of the first page of the book is drawn with a strange pattern, which looks very cumbersome and obscure, and the text next to it is also quite unique, probably not the common human language.

"It looks like a magic array...... Could these strange words be the special language used by the mages? Song Zheng looked at the pattern and text carefully, but he could only frown and shake his head.

This book seemed to be a spellbook used by mages to record the magic they had learned, which was extremely precious to mages, but to Song Zheng it was like a pile of waste paper.

As a thief, he couldn't have spent a lot of time learning a new script in order to read such a stolen magic book.

He had suffered a lot from learning English when he was in school, and now he definitely doesn't want to go through that experience again.

Fearing that the mage would be able to track down the magic book through some kind of secret technique, Song Zheng prepared to destroy it completely.

However, when he accidentally turned to the last few pages of the book, he found that the words in the book were already human words that he could recognize.

But he only glanced at it, and he was dumbfounded.

The page was heavily marked with red ink with the name of the magic it was written—the resurrection of the dead!

"Resurrection of the dead?! Is this book about necromancy? Song Zheng was shocked in his heart.

However, when he thought that the other party was a mage of the Cursed Church, he was immediately relieved...... It would be strange if the other party didn't know any necromancy.

Unfortunately, only this one of the magic of resurrection in this magic book is recorded in human writing, and it seems that the handwriting is relatively new, and there is no sign of wear and tear on the pages, so it is estimated that this magic has just been copied up.

"It seems that the mage must have just learned this undead resurrection magic, and unlike other magic, the spell is likely to be human language......"

From the history of Warcraft, human magic was passed down from the High Elves, so it is likely that the earliest magic was written in Elven writing, and even spells were in Elven language.

"So it seems that the previous unknown words should be the words used by the High Elves, and this necromantic magic has just been circulated, although the Lich King Neozu is an orc, but in order to be able to spread among believers, most of them use human language to improve these necromantic magic, so the new magic learned by the mages of these Cursed Churches is recorded by human writing." Song Zheng secretly guessed.

He hurriedly read the contents of this resurrection magic, and found that the magic of this world is indeed very complicated to use, in addition to the reciting spells, there are also restrictions on magic power, the number of spells cast, and the materials for casting spells.

Resurrection magic, like this, requires a large number of corpses, as well as special corpse powder to use, and it also needs to be in a place where the dark magic is strong.

"It doesn't seem easy to become a mage...... Song Zheng recalled the battle just now, since that mage can resurrect so many corpses at once, it seems that the valley is indeed a trap that the Cursed Church has already arranged.

As for whether Gianna and the others had no intention of camping in this valley, or whether they were deliberately induced to camp here, it was impossible to know, but Song Zheng was sure that the whereabouts of Gianna and his party were definitely under the control of the other party, and even the route of their escape was also expected by the Cursed Church, or arranged......

Of course, judging from the retreat of Gianna and others to the south, the probability of being deliberately induced is a little greater.

After all, this battlefield is only a day's journey from Talummere, and nearly two days from the town of Southsea, even a fool knows that he should retreat north to seek Talenmere's guards for protection.

"Looks like Gianna and they're in danger!" Song Zheng couldn't help but look back at the south, but he couldn't see anything in his position at the moment.

Song Zheng was naturally not crazy enough to think that he could save Gianna, his current thief profession could almost be said to be completely ineffective, and he was more worried now that the mage of the Cursed Church would come to hunt him down.

After all, the book of spells should be extremely important to mages, especially since this book also contains the latest resurrection magic.

However, Song Zheng also quickly gave up the idea of completely destroying this magic book.

"If this magic book can really attract the mages of the Cursed Church, then it is just right for them to chase me, maybe without those mages of the Cursed Church, Gianna and they will have a chance to escape......"

Thinking of this, Song Zheng immediately began to run in this dense forest, and continued to go to the densest place in this mountain forest.

……

At this moment, fierce fighting is still going on on the battlefield in the south.

Gianna's knights suffered great losses due to the attacks from both the north and the south, especially in order to break through the bridge that had been occupied by the syndicate thieves in advance, and had to pay a lot of sacrifices, even Gianna herself went into battle.

However, the pursuers in the rear also rushed more frantically, as if they wanted to bury them on the bridge completely.

"Your Highness Princess, use teleportation magic to leave, here...... It's almost unstoppable, and even if we cross the bridge, we'll be hunted down. Seeing that those crazy and hideous undead had reappeared in sight, the young paladin Carl, who had been guarding Gianna's back, was already a little desperate.

Although the power of the Holy Light was strong, the battle had been going on for so long, and the golden light on his blade had begun to fade.
