One hundred and sixty-seven, the diary of a sheep herder

The wind passed the castle from the south
I am obsessed with magic, and magic is a sweet wine, which makes me intoxicated and addicted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I have a lot of money in my family, enough for me to learn magic. Although my father left early, his status as a knight still gave me the respect I deserved from the villagers around me.
I'm going to study magic hard, and now all the lords are looking for powerful mages, and they are well paid, and the future is bright.
Yana, the prettiest girl in the village, also looked at me differently, and I felt that she looked at me unusually, and I was not boasting.

This morning there was an ominous atmosphere throughout the village. News came from the city of Bone Forest to the north, a mage had summoned an army of the undead, and he had rebelled! The army of the undead is slaughtering from the south to the north, and it is unstoppable.
What a crazy guy!
Never since the towns united against the Long Night, there had never been such a big mess. And I heard that the army of the undead has now broken through many towns in the north, and it is about to reach Guanshan Town.
This is bad news, and if there is only one good thing, it is that Yana will come to me often, because she says that my strength will make her feel safe.
Also, my magic can easily defeat a bunch of skeleton soldiers.
God forbid, and hope that the army of the undead will not come to us.

Early this morning, good news came from the north. Under the combination of dozens of legendary powerhouses, the army of the undead was completely defeated. And that crazy mage Sherman will also be burned to death in Gulin City next week.
The two-year-long shadow, the two-year-long depression and anxiety, are finally going to dissipate today!
Thank you to the gods, and thank you to all the legendary powerhouses who defeated that evil mage.
But I always feel like there's something in the way people look at me, uneasiness or something, but I don't know what it is.
I didn't see Yana all day.

All the clouds have lifted, but for me it was the beginning of darkness.
As the news kept coming, the court mages of the various lords had been dismissed, as they were silenced by Sherman's affairs.
I had a vague sense of foreboding.
Yana hadn't come to me for a long time, but I came here today, but I saw dodge in her eyes.

The news couldn't have been worse, all the lord's royal mages were dismissed, and many were captured for no reason and burned to death in the town square. There are even towns that are preparing to come up with edicts prohibiting mages from entering the city.
I don't understand, Sherman is heinous, but there are countless mages who have died in the war against him, why can't people see it?
Ordinary people fear, loath, and curse at mages. In their eyes, mages are synonymous with disaster.
I never saw Yana again, and I saw fear and disgust in the eyes of the villagers.
The village chief talked to me, and he implied me that he wanted me to leave the village.
But where else can I go without the village? I rejected him, but look at the way they looked......
I may not have been around for a long time, but I still don't understand what the mages are doing wrong, I used magic to protect them, can't they remember!

I was cast out, and they were afraid of my magic, so they bought forbidden potions from the apothecary at a great price, and mixed them with honey water, so that Yana tricked me into drinking them.
I had no way to use magic, and then they rushed in, swearing, and even breaking two of my ribs with the son of the village blacksmith, who had a crush on Yana, but who usually didn't dare to fart in front of me.
But at that time, he was as proud as a dog that had picked up bones.
The village chief stopped them, and then they tied stones to me and threw them into the river in the night.
The icy water of the river made me understand that they were not afraid of mages, but only of all powerful and unknown fools.
I've always considered myself one of them, I should have come to my senses!
Just when I thought it was too late, my magic returned, and it must have been that the forbidden potions that the villagers had bought to save money were not enough.
I'm good at the spells of frost, and once I can use magic, running water can't kill me!

rainstorm
I've decided, I'm going to make everyone pay.
Pay the price for their cowardice and ignorance.
Looking at the village where I once lived, I didn't even have the slightest hint of wanting mercy from my subordinates.
The torrential rain helped me, and all I had to do was turn the downpour into hard ice, and they would be killed by the cold and suffocation in their sleep, and the whole village would be reduced to ice sculptures early tomorrow morning.
It was my last mercy to keep them from dying in torment, just as the village chief had shown me the same kindness he had to me.
However, the guards were bound to come for my trouble, so I had already thought about it and went to Kawaguta overnight, where it was said that mages were more lenient.
I have a plan, I'm going to make the world pay for what the mage does.
I'm going to resurrect Sherman!
I'm going to remind the world once again of the fear of being dominated by mages, and I'm going to make them pay!

After more than 60 years of preparation, it is finally complete!
I disguised myself as a stupid and grumpy old sheep herder, and managed to fool everyone's ears and eyes.
I spent sixty years preparing for the resurrection ritual, searching for lost spells, searching for forbidden ritual materials, preparing sacrifices.
Although the situation of mages has improved in these sixty years, it is not enough, the lords still dare not hire mages, and people's prejudice against mages still exists.
And I, I have to get back what I have endured!
The time is almost ripe, and the next time the moonlight is at its dimest, I can begin the ritual.
Forty-four sheep's heads, a bear's liver, a halfling's tongue, a rock eagle's feathers, and a bunch of materials.
But the sacrifice was still two strong souls.
Come to think of it, only the guards are the most suitable, they are the strongest men in the towns and villages, and it is best to use them as sacrifices.
However, how to guide them into the wilderness without alerting more guards is a difficult problem, but I always think of a way......
