Act VI: The Dead (II)

Stepping into the forest again, the path trodden by unknown animals or hunters is covered by the trees beside the road, and the little sunlight casts on the traveler's body, revealing a golden spot of light. Avis lowered his head slightly, his eyes scanning back and forth in the quiet jungle in front of him, I don't know if it was an illusion, he could always feel that someone was watching them. Finally, he exhaled slowly, and said to Ilya on the side, "Do you know why there are undead in that place? ”

This is also a puzzle for Avis. Vidora is not a country of evil and darkness, and in this country where magic and magic are rife, it is still difficult to create undead. And once there is a suitable environment for the growth of the undead, there will always be magicians or priests who will destroy it. So Ives felt a little surprised that there would be a large number of ghouls in that place.

Ilya didn't answer the question directly, and her gaze scanned around. She was a paladin, so she felt it more clearly than Avis. She could feel the evil gaze falling on their group.

Of course, even if Ilya didn't say it, everyone present felt that sight to a greater or lesser extent. Mondo grinned, and placed his two-handed greatsword in a more comfortable position, ready to strike at any moment. Because he was on guard, Mondo didn't pay attention to the conversation between Avis and Elijah.

After hearing Avis's words, Elijah muttered for a long time, and finally said, "There was once an altar of blasphemous mages, and that blasphemous mage studied forbidden magic there, and was finally destroyed by the servants of my god. Maybe it's the revival of some evil creature that has been imprisoned there this time......"

Avis' brow furrowed, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the wanted magician who had entered Eisengo, his hand clenched into a fist, and he felt that he was approaching a secret......

But isn't this kind of conspiracy and adventure the greatest charm of this world? Avis laughed.

They all had a tacit understanding that they didn't talk about the feeling of staring at them, and it was clear that if there were thieves peeping around, there was a magician working prophetic magic...... This kind of thing just needs to be done with caution, and there is no need to remind the enemy to find a more clever way to spy on themselves.

Soon, Avis and the others came to the place where they had been attacked last night. To Avis's surprise, he did not see the bodies of the robbers who had come to assassinate him. But there were still traces of the battle on the ground, and even some blood stains had not been wiped away, and if it weren't for this, Ives would almost think that he had found the wrong place. Mondo touched the ground for a moment, then he lifted his hand, looked at the blood on his hands, and after a while said, "There are some human blood stains here, and minced meat...... At first the bloodstains were alive, but then the bloodstains were ...... I won't say it, there are more professional people here than me. ”

The priest next to Elijah, named 'Esinger', said weakly after examining the blood on the ground, "This blood...... It was the blood of the dead, and it had a very strong smell of death. "This is also the breath that Mora, the god of justice, rejects.

"That is." Ives somewhat understood what was going on here, "The robbers who attacked me here have been turned into undead by blasphemous magic?" ”

"Or maybe I should have asked you what it was that you messed with." Mondo said lukewarmly. Avis sneered: "Maybe not more people than you provoked?" ”

Ilya ignored the cynicism of the two, she stood up, and said with some hesitation: "So do we continue to move forward now, or wait a few days, and wait for the knights who believe in my lord to come over?" If it's magic like 'manipulating dead bodies', we may not be qualified to face enemies who can perform such magic. ”

Ives pondered for a while, and finally said, "Personal construction or continue to move forward." Since the other party is in control of the corpse, the longer the time drags on, the stronger he becomes. Of course, what Avis didn't say was that if the Knights of the God of Justice came, then this adventure would be nothing for him. Now he is poor and white, just waiting for this adventure to bring him monetary income! Mondo, who had the same idea, also supported moving forward, so the team moved on after a while.

And Aavis was silently thinking, what kind of spell was this blasphemous mage studying? There are many kinds of forbidden magic, and every mage will be exposed to some of them to a greater or lesser extent. And if you haven't studied forbidden spells, you're embarrassed to say you're a magician. Although Ives is new to magic, he actually knows some forbidden knowledge. For example, some blood sacrifices, and magic that uses the human body to make props. Although these are all necessary knowledge for future advancement, in fact, these knowledge also belong to the 'forbidden arts'. And the biggest and most famous forbidden spellcaster is none other than the 'blasphemous mage', and almost all the knowledge they study is forbidden magic.

Their research includes, but is not limited to, resurrecting the dead, summoning demons, stealing divine powers, and even deranged blasphemous mages trying to make contracts with ancient evils...... You can't describe these guys with madness, they are the biggest heresy on the Great 6 of Ellen Thea. Not even the Tower Mage's kingdom 'Alpha' or the post-magical empire 'Vidorah' had a place for them.

Of course, not every blasphemous mage is so frightening, and there are even some blasphemous mages whose strength is quite weak. Avis, they might just be dealing with a few summoned creatures of a weak blasphemous mage. It's just that Ives is a little strange, what exactly is this blasphemous mage studying? Judging from some traces of necromancy, he should be studying the taboo of necromancy.

Necromancy is no stranger to magicians, and even magicians have a special school for studying necromancy. But once necromancy involves a situation, then this direction of research is taboo - that is, to revive the dead. This is completely different from converting the dead into an undead, and it can even be said that it is two concepts. The idea of this direction of research is to resurrect a dead person completely, perfectly, and without hindrance. This is almost a clear position to grab business with the gods, which is naturally a forbidden spell.

Moreover, birth, old age, sickness and death are the rules of the world, and anyone who violates such rules will pay a heavy price. Theoretically, the spell that completely resurrects a person who has already died does not exist...... Of course, magicians just like this kind of 'zài' thing. Theoretically, it can explain the truth of a qiē and it does not exist zài, but this is the direction of all magicians' research.

"Is the dead resuscitated......" Ives muttered.

The green leaves of early summer slowly fell, falling to the ground one by one, and after walking for a while, Ives and the others saw the ruins.

Vintage décor, gray-black granite, and the broken ones on the ground; A magic array with obvious traces of vandalism. This qiē seems to illustrate the desolation and unusualness of this place. Avis took a few steps forward, and he quietly stretched out his hand, feeling the smell of magic in the air. Finally, he took a deep breath and finally exhaled slowly. Some of the memories of the game, as well as some knowledge of the body's 'learning' skills, made him silent and seemed to understand something. He walked around the ruins, the yellow hay, some dry bones hidden in the cracks of the stones, and the magic circle that still remained on the ground. Avis crouched down, his hand gently stroking the magic array's formation, and then he felt a sense of the vicissitudes of history. Once these magical runes were operating normally, they often carried a kind of mystery from the ages, but now they are slowly forgotten like discarded old toys......

Avis was silent for a while, then spoke, "This guy ...... What kind of terrible forbidden spells are you researching......"

"What's wrong, what's up?" One of the mercenaries, a somewhat thin archer, walked over and said curiously. He carried a compound longbow behind him, and a quiver straddled by his side. This is a taciturn and elite archer, but now he also feels a genuine curiosity about this ancient building.

Avis stood up, his hand resting on the stone and feeling it quietly. He was naturally quite familiar with the style of magic runes, and he didn't see this kind of wonderful text in the game. And when combined with the knowledge about magicians that the system provides to them, the usefulness of these runes becomes clearer. But Ives didn't directly say his judgment, he just said, "I don't know...... Do you know anything about jihad? ”

"Jihad?"

On the Erenthea 6, war has never been an uncommon term. War may have been a distant legend in the vicinity of a country as powerful as Vidorah, but in the central part and in some places near the Gulf of Storms, it was all too normal.

But there is a kind of war that is not so common anymore...... This kind of war, generally known as 'holy war', has not occurred many times throughout the 10,000-year history of Erentea.

Regarding updates, I usually change them after they are finished, so there is usually no timing. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, and the average is 4ooo to 5ooo a day. Except in rare cases, I will not interrupt the change. Above.

In the end, I still have the cheekiness to ask for recommendations and collections, and the new book period is very important.
