Chapter 26: The Lich's Quest (Part 1)
Seeing that Anna completed the whole process without injury, Charles felt that this time's live-action demonstration task was quite simple.
But when he was also dragged onto the field by Bismarck, he felt that something was clearly wrong. The intense magic directly restrained him in place, and the pair of flames that danced in his eye sockets stared straight at Charles.
"You won Arthur, didn't you?" Bismarck did not use his artificial voice this time, but used his heart to communicate.
Charles was surprised to mention this so suddenly.
But then Bismarck's words made him break out in a cold sweat instantly, "The dog is taken care of by you." β
Arthur is this guy's son!? How could Charles not think of this relationship, first of all, Bismarck didn't know how many years ago he took off his body, how could he have a son as young as Arthur, could it be that even the bones will snap at this age, and he can still have children,
But the problem now is that Charles doesn't think that this lich Bismarck is a good guy at all, as can be seen from the fact that the other party is ruthless in his attack on the students. Last time, he actually put such a ruthless skill on the first-year female death riding freshman, and he didn't take anyone else into account at all. And Charles fell into the hands of such a guy, and the ghost knows whether this goods will be repaid, and it is possible that a flame will purify Charr directly.
You can't really do that, do you...... Charles is also Uther's protΓ©gΓ©, and if he is killed, Uther will not give up.
But Charles guessed wrong this time, Bismarck and Uther also had a poor relationship, since the founding of the Empire of the Dead, these two people have a deep hatred for each other.
During a magical experiment, Uther killed Bismarck's wife...... Souls torn apart by magic cannot be resurrected, even if they want to be transformed into undead.
The scorching flames ignited instantly, and before Charles could release the ice cage, the sparks that could melt the sword rushed like a storm. Bismarck wanted to put Uther's beloved disciple to death, and since Arthur was wounded, or the man's own apprentice, he had enough motives to let Charles die without a place to be buried.
"Bismarck!" The classroom door suddenly opened, and Uther yelled at the lich who was casting a spell, "Break the spell!" β
The flames that had been hitting the charr just now suddenly calmed down, and the white knight Uther's spell-casting ability was already only one line worse than that of the lich, and his own combat experience with spellcasters was sufficient, so it was only a short interruption to successfully terminate Bismarck's spell casting.
Ignoring Bismarck, the white knight standing behind the lich opened his mouth, "Charles, follow me." β
As the classroom watched, Charles was called away in front of Bismarck. The enraged lich shook his hand and a flash of pure magic power directly collapsed half of the walls of the classroom.
Hearing a loud noise coming from the classroom, Charles followed his tutor closer, what kind of joke this school is too dangerous.
Uther, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "I'm sorry. β
It was his problem, his personal vendetta with Bismarck. He didn't expect that the originally arranged course would suddenly be replaced by a lich who had a grudge against him, and according to the arrangement of the spell defense class, there were twenty people who were qualified to substitute for the class.
The White Knight never looked back at his students, and an eerie silence crept in.
To tell the truth, Uther has been very kind to him since Charles crossed into this world, from the beginning when even the humans he hunted had to test and cast spells, to the time he gave Misha to himself. And the reason why he suddenly appeared just now was obviously because he was relieved to be a real-life demonstrator in the spell defense class.
And judging from the performance of his predecessor Charles, he is definitely a cheating father beyond imagination. And now when Charles took over, the White Knight was still quite good to him, so Charles was still very grateful to this knight.
This is true love......
"You don't have to do it this week." The White Knight finally broke the silence.
ββ¦β¦ Why? While this was a good thing, Uther's decision was clearly contrary to his meticulous approach as a teacher.
"Bismarck's failure today doesn't mean that he won't do it in the future, and you'd better not show up at school during this time."
"What about my course!?" He doesn't mind playing for a week, but he still has to find a way to improve his combat effectiveness and escape the judgment of fate.
"All pause, I'll arrange for you to go on other tasks, don't worry, you're my student." The White Knight can't tolerate Charles' objections, Charr is still very important to him, "And the matter of your part-time necromancer may have to be put on hold for a while, because you will be going abroad next." β
Charr's heart ached, if he couldn't get the rank of necromancer, what did he work so hard for. But it can't be helped, who let him stay here now.
"Going abroad?" There is no second undead empire in this world, and if you want to go abroad, it will definitely be a hostile human alliance.
In other words, Charles wants to say goodbye to the imperial capital Hela and run to the land of humans to become a spy.
It's similar to what those two girls did, and Chardon finds it much more interesting, but the key is that he still has to improve his combat ability.
"Take this notebook, it contains my spell experience, you can use it to learn spells first, and I will explain it to you in detail when I get back." The White Knight seems to blame himself for failing to fulfill his promise to his students.
A heavy, frayed notebook, full of age. Charles knew the usefulness of this thing as soon as he got his hands on it, and he could work part-time as a necromancer!
Uther's research notes contain all the important lessons he has learned from the time he began to learn spells to the present. After getting this thing, Charles can not only learn the skills that the White Knight has revealed, but he can also learn many of the necromancer's exclusive skills.
This is much better than the part-time job that Uther directly gave him as a necromancer, Charles is not an ordinary person, as long as he is authorized to learn within the rules of the game, he can learn skills. And to get Uther's research notes is obviously also to get a part-time job within the rules of the game.
Earn over! It was so much better than Charles had expected that he couldn't even control the look of surprise on his face.
"You seem to be very happy...... Uther couldn't help but worry about his beloved apprentice, this thing is not serious about studying in the first place, and now it is a long vacation......
Kaelsa didn't know that Charles had been a blessing in disguise, and now he couldn't be high. While still in class, he almost burrowed under the table, and the lich on the podium was very unstable, and if he was found to be on good terms with Charles, he would probably be made into charcoal-grilled human flesh......
But little Lori Sophie is quite smart, although she can't worry about it, but she is also witty and pretended not to know Charles with Kelsa......
This little girl is also very smart......
"You're going abroad!?" Kael's face was full of envy, and he also applied to travel abroad with his mentor, but the other party rejected him on the grounds of financial constraints.
So there is no chance to go out at public expense, and Kaelsa can only slowly save money to go to the wizard's kingdom on her own. So he was now very envious of Charles's situation, and this thing had been given the opportunity so easily.
"Looks like some kind of experiment." Charles casually mentioned that he didn't know where he was going to be sent.
But since it was arranged by Mentor Uther, he didn't need to ask anything.
Kelsa reacted immediately, slapped the table with excitement, and almost hit Charles with his face, "It's a natural disaster experiment!" β
"This is the project of the Dietrich Lich, and the theoretical part has just been approved by the Spellcaster's Council and approved for experimentation, which is quite hot news recently."
Ay? Is it famous, Charles has never heard of it, "Is it powerful?" β
"Of course! In the past, the undead had to be created slowly, and it was impossible to convert the living in large quantities in an instant. The project team led by Dietrich successfully invented a spell that could transform the living people of a city into undead. Kaelsa envied the Charr who had the opportunity to participate in such a historic experiment, and if they succeeded, they would no longer have to go to great lengths to slowly encroach on human territory.
With the conversion of cities in pieces of natural disasters, soon the Undead Empire will be able to dominate the entire continent.
Charles thought that natural disasters had always occurred, but he didn't expect them to be developed recently. But it sounds like a lot of fun, and Charles still wants to go to the human kingdom to play.
That's the rhythm of opening a new map.
Charles glanced at Sophie, who looked confused next to him, and felt that he should still take her, and if he left her at home and let Misha take her, Charles would definitely not accept it. He was not too relieved to hand it over to Kelsa, this was not a storage thing after all, Sophie was a real living person.
Cut, it's so troublesome.
The Charles, who had been hanging out all day, came home at night. Holding Sophie's hand, he always had a sense of lack of authenticity, as if he was still playing a game, and everyone around him was just NPCs he was kneading around. He is cynical and ignores everyone, as if he is dreaming and delusional.
Standing in the doorway, the demon greeted Charles with a funny voice in the moonlight, but Charles's attention was all drawn to Misha, who was sitting on the steps.
The poor little maid fell asleep in thin clothes, the temperature was low at night, the wind was strong, although the zombies were no longer afraid of the cold, they could still feel the change in temperature and would change their clothes. So Misha must have been waiting here since the afternoon until she fell asleep.
Even though Charles knew that this guy was not waiting for him, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
It's funny, but if this little girl knew that her village was slaughtered, and she was one of the people who was killed, would she still be as heartless as she is now? Holding up his zombie servant, Charles could still see the saliva on the corners of his mouth.
ps: The next chapter will be sent later, don't wait, it's a bit of a cardin, continue to ask for recommendations!
