Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Necromancer
"Hey! Wait a minute! β
At dawn we continued on our way, and soon arrived at the northeastern foothills of the Horsgaard Mountains. On the snowy boundary, a man called out to us.
"You are ......" Looking at the familiar Nord youth in front of me, I thought for a moment, "Gaudi, the Nord warrior who went to the Coldfall Temple with me last time. You don't look very good, are you in trouble? β
"Your Excellency, it's great, I thought I'd have to wait until the next morning to bring in a helper, it seems that Aunt Agna has been saved...... Can you help me? A necromancer has defiled my family's tomb, using my ancestors to perform his evil dark elven sorcery. β
"Where's your Aunt Agna?"
"Auntie and I went in to investigate the situation, but the necromancer used a mechanism to separate us, and Aunt Agna was alone inside, so I had to come out to find reinforcements."
You're lucky enough to meet two of us who are willing to take on the quest as soon as you go out, but I don't know if this quest is suitable for our level. I asked Ladia with a look in her eyes, and she nodded at me confidently, indicating that we could handle it.
"It sounds like your aunt is in danger, take us there quickly, and talk about the situation as we go."
β¦β¦
"This is the tomb of the Hilgund family."
Guided by Gaudier, we walked into a mausoleum in the style of the GΓΌnold. Gaudier followed me to the Temple of Coldfall because his family owned a tomb, so he knew something about the ancient Nord's tomb.
"The Silgund family should be a family with a long history, a lot of people, and something to be proud of, at least in terms of the size of this tomb."
"Well, I'm not proud at all. I'm actually terrified of this place. β
"Fear? Do you mean ghouls? β
"No, the family has been taken care of by special people since ancient times, and this place is different from those ancient tombs that have been abandoned for a long time."
Probably because of this, he was targeted by necromancers. "And what do you mean by fear?"
"I'm ashamed to say that my dad used to lock me up here when he was drunk and walked away. When Aunt Agna found me, I had eaten the tribute of the dead for three days. β
It turned out to be a psychological shadow left by childhood......
A creaking sound suddenly came from the other side of the corner. It didn't take much thought to know that there was a skeleton next door moving in our direction.
"You're okay with us killing your ancestors, right?"
"They're already dead, we're just sending them away...... Just send them back to Songad. β
Agreed, Lydia raised her shield and ran around the corner, making the skeleton the first to be sent to Songard with a dull thud.
"This is the necromancer's sentinel, he must have known about our entry by now, we must speed up, Aunt Agna doesn't know if there is still a ...... save the road" Gaudier saw the small broken bones that had been smashed to the ground by the shield, and eagerly stepped forward a position, walking in front of Lydia to clear the way for us.
With the saplings at the back of the group, I could only put some support spells to help them - such as helping them detect how many skeletons were in front of them, and whether they had any special attributes.
Cleaning up several skeletons along the way, we came to a metal door that had been closed.
Gaudier banged hard on the door a few times, "Damn, it's this door, keeping me out!" β
I pressed against the door, looked at it with a detection spell, and came to the conclusion: "This door is firmly bolted from the inside, and it has solidification magic applied, and it would have taken a long time to open this door if there were no other passages." β
"If there were other passages that I had already passed through there, how could I ......" Gaudier suddenly thought of something, looked at me urgently, and said, "Under the moon, I remember that you have a spell that can block the senses of ghouls, right?" β
"That's right, you mean ......"
"There is another passage in the tomb that used to be used to bury some scum who have done things that have damaged the family's reputation. No one wants to take care of it there, so it is now occupied by ghouls. β
"Take us there."
β¦β¦
Gaudier pulled a tab in the shelter, and a stone slab on the ground rose with it, and I climbed down the ladder.
Through the detection spell, I was able to locate all the activated ghouls.
I don't know how many years the history of the Hilguende family is, and how it defines "damaging the family's reputation", after preliminary visual inspection, nearly a hundred corpses were placed in this narrow passage, and the number of ghouls accounted for about one-fifth of them.
My goal is to bring them along, so I'm going to cast spells on every ghoul here.
"The first ...... Well? "I was about to cast my magic on the nearest ghoul when I found that the Necromancy Detection had failed to mark it.
Somewhat strangely, the ghouls have reverted back to normal corpses.
I cast the spell on the corpse and recast it to detect necromancy. This time the result was even more bizarre, not only the one just now, but the necromantic markers of the ghouls who were relatively close to me had disappeared, and the situation was rapidly spreading to the other side of the passage.
I put down the sapling in my hand and earnestly cast a detection spell with both hands...... Well, now there's not a single sign of ghouls in the passageway. Does it have anything to do with the "decorative" Akai amulet on my body?
I don't have time to think about the cause of the anomaly now, I just know that the detection spell that Musk taught me can't be wrong. I called Gaudier and Lydia down and walked through the passage together.
β¦β¦
"Aunt Agna!"
"You go ahead and stop that necromancer. I'll try to treat your aunt. Lydia tacitly pulled out the red vial, and I took it, and walked towards the gray-haired Nord woman in a pool of blood as I sorted out my knowledge of healing spells.
After some investigation, the woman's injuries were not too tricky, and she lost too much blood from the wound and fell into a coma. Hemostasis, restoration, regeneration, I ran my healing spells all over her, and by the way, poured the healing potion from the bottle over her wound - the red liquid all over the floor made her injuries look terrifying.
At the same time, I also detected a dark remnant of force in her body, presumably the work of a necromancer. But as before, this dark feeling was quickly erased.
Not...... I guess I figured out why.
It's the role of this sapling. There were no surprises, no surprises, and of course, the breath of life emanating from the saplings was the enemy of those dark energies. The sapling in my hand is the offspring of an ancient glitter that ordinary necromancers and their minions can't compete with, and even the ghouls in that passage have finally calmed down because of the sapling.
The woman was full of the strength of the sapling, and there was no danger anymore, and I ran to the final hall with the sapling.
β¦β¦
"The dead should serve the living, not the other way around."
"I will send my ancestors back to Songad, and with you, I will ask them for their guilt!"
"Songgard is a baseless myth that you will serve me with your ancestors!"
The red-haired dark elf stood on a high platform to maintain his spells, and a steady stream of corpses crawled out of the surrounding coffins, dragging the two into a bitter battle. Unlike before, the back hall is buried with the most famous men of the Silgund family. After they were manipulated by necromancy, they were limited by the caster's ability to fully exert their original power, but they were still not to be underestimated.
It's time to perform the real tricks. I held the sapling in front of me and recited the dragon language I had just learned.
βKaanοΌDremοΌOvβ¦β¦β
To be precise, the effect of "Ginalais's peace" is to make the surrounding creatures lose their battles and return to the arms of Generes, which is almost ineffective against the unnatural creatures and intelligent creatures with strong self-awareness. So my target is not the undead who are besieging Ladia and Gaudiel, but the sapling in front of me.
The sapling was like a megaphone, and my whispers were amplified and infectious, echoing through the burial halls. In addition, the sound was also attached to the saplings with a strong breath of life, and the undead fell to the ground one after another.
"Nope! No! What is this? I'm a famous tile ...... Yes! β
The last words of the nameless dragon set without any sense of novelty. The sword pierced the chest of the dark elf wizard, who paid with his life for the blasphemy of the ancestors of the Hilgund family.
This dark elf looks familiar...... Well, it's the necromancer who went to the Coldfall Temple with us last time, when Gaudier said that his family had a tomb, and he was probably targeted by this necromancer.
The drama had subsided, and I began to observe the tombs of the Hilgund family. Unlike the Temple of Coldfall, this tomb is well cared for, and many traces of new alterations and repairs can be seen in the hall. On a high platform in the middle of the hall, a treasure chest is prominently placed. I stepped forward to open it to take a look, not knowing what was going to be inside the tunnel.
"Hey! That's my family stuff! β
"Uh...... I'm sorry, but I committed the RPG syndrome, and I wanted to open it when I saw the box. I withdrew my hand in embarrassment.
"Forget it. You've done our family so much favor, and it's okay to take some of the treasure. How is Aunt Agna? β
"Excessive blood loss, not life-threatening, should wake up after a period of rest."
β¦β¦
"Where is your family now?"
"More than twenty years ago, during the Great War of the World Realm, the family followed General Jona's legion to participate in the Battle of the Red Ring and stayed in the province of Cellodil, leaving only my father and Aunt Agna in the sky to take care of the tombs of their ancestors."
"Two people?"
"There are more than 20 direct members of our family, and my father is the eldest son of the family, so he has taken on this important responsibility. Two people are a bit small, but the mausoleum is under the jurisdiction of the lord, and even if something happens, soldiers can be called up to help, but if I ask the territory for help today, Aunt Agna will be more than lucky. I really didn't expect to provoke a necromancer......"
"Didn't you alert him last time at the Coldfall Temple?"
"I'm a warrior, I don't know how to distinguish magical attributes, he didn't show his abilities at that time, and the empire strictly forbids necromancy, so I only think of him as an ordinary wizard."
"Skyrim doesn't seem to have taken the Empire's ban very seriously. So be it, we're going to go back to our lives. Is there a problem with you staying here alone? β
"I will close the tomb gate until everything is okay. In the future, my aunt and I will definitely go to Xueman City to thank you! β
"You're welcome."
The door to Hilgund's tomb slowly closed, and Lydia and I made our way home.
