Chapter 50: The Chaser
The Lich is busy right now, he is working on the skin of a man, and if his identity is revealed, it will surely attract a large number of people who shout that justice will prevail to hunt him down, which the Lich does not want to see and provoke.
Shirley stayed by the side and did nothing, playing with the blood mist that kept changing into various forms, and under the lich's kind words and generous conditions, she reluctantly agreed, and the two signed a contract of equality and no harm, and became allies.
They were still in a well-looking house somewhere in the dead town, and why, because none of them liked the sun.
Shirley, who might have been bored, looked at the lich sitting at the table, like a housewife skillfully sewing human skin with a needle, Shirley laughed for a long time when she saw this scene at first, and she said, "Hey, lich, when are we going to leave here?" ”
The lich focused on the task at hand and said, "Well, wait a minute, let me move all the valuable things in this town." ”
Shirley said with a look of disbelief, "No, you are a lich who would do such a cheap thing, ah, you don't want to stay in this quiet place." ”
The lich gave her a blank look and said, "Cut, it's not that you don't want to help me, if you can help me together, you can leave here a long time ago!" ”
Shirley felt tired, she was also a lich, she said, this is too hungry to eat, and it is absolutely impossible to let her, the famous blood queen, do this kind of thing like a thief, and she doesn't want to talk to the lich, she walked to a bedroom in the house, and said, "I'll go to bed first, and call me when I'm done." ”
The lich reluctantly replied with an "oh", every time this kind of thing had to come to him alone, he finally had a companion, but he didn't expect it to be the same, I really wanted to have a servant who could be obedient and helping, why wasn't this kind of person around.
John's human skin was finally repaired, put on the human skin again, the tall figure retracted back to this one-meter-seven body, put on the rewarded black robe, and looked at the bedroom with the door closed, John quietly walked out of the door, trying not to let his footsteps wake her up.
Now, because the necromancer has been mistakenly killed under Shirley's all-round ultimate, none of the undead who still have blood on their bodies have been spared, and they have been drained of blood, and they have all become dried corpses that can be used as firewood, obviously blue sky and white clouds, and the sun is warm, but this town seems unusually quiet, probably already a ghost town.
Coming to the corpse of the necromancer, John wanted to see if he had anything of value on him, but unfortunately, he was poorer than him, and he had nothing on him, except that the human head and skull scepter in his hand seemed to be of a little use......... Forget it, don't want it, take up space.
The distribution of the town is not large, it is probably composed of hundreds of houses, and there is no city wall for defense, if you search, it will take about an afternoon, even if that group of humans finds that something is wrong, with this strange atmosphere, they should not break in so quickly, and the time is enough for him to search.
John sighed, looked at the houses, and said, "Alas, it's going to be busy again." ”
………
………
As the sun sets, the town has fallen into orange hues, and John has just finished searching the last house.
A rough count of the materials, there are 1,000 gold coins obtained, 3,000 silver coins, 10,000 copper coins, and a forbidden dark magic book that I have never seen, the magic array that summoned Shirley should come from it, and it is a bumper harvest overall, speaking of which, this necromancer will hide money and valuable things in the basement for experiments, which is really a bit unexpected by John, but it is also quite normal, most of the necromancers are pale, it is likely that they have been squatting in the dark for too long, There is nothing unreasonable about putting it in the basement.
Thinking about everything that had to be done, John felt it was time to leave and returned to the house where Shirley was sleeping, intending to wake her up.
The sound of the horses' footsteps outside the town that had been quiet for a long time was heard, and John, who had just entered the house, noticed it, and with a sense of foreboding, he hurriedly rushed into the bedroom where Shirley was sleeping, but he didn't expect to lock the door, he immediately knocked it open, and hurriedly said: "I don't have time to explain, let's go quickly, maybe those people want... Want...... It's coming. ”
John froze, and so did Shirley, who was now naked and changing her clothes, and the clothes had just been held in her hands, so to speak, and she put her body in front of John.
John coughed a few times and said, "Ahem, hurry up, we're leaving." ”
Shirley frowned and picked up the chair beside her, and couldn't bear it: "Don't get out of here quickly." ”
The sound of "bang" slammed on the door that John had closed in time.

The 47th Squad of the Combat Force of the Knights of Light of the Holy See is composed of ten Knights of Light, two priests, and a believer who is good at light-attribute magic, and its main duty is to travel around the continent, drive away evil, and preach doctrines.
This world is vast, and it is also the best place for evil to hide, in order to make up for the disadvantage of insufficient number distribution, the Holy See has deliberately set up many traveling squads in the Knights of Light to alleviate the development of evil.
Today, as they always travelled through a certain country and a place, the only believer in their ranks frowned, explained to them the appearance of darkness, and pointed them in a general direction.
So, under the guidance of the oracle, they, as messengers of light, rode their horses and felt this place.
How sad it was, the corpses that had turned into dried corpses were lying on the cold ground one by one, and the town in front of me had become a ghost town.
A sentimental goddess on the horse wept sadly, and said, "It's so pitiful, how can this be?!" ”
The expressions of the companions became serious, and they looked at the nearest town, and one of them asked the believers, "How is it, is the darkness gone?" ”
The believer looked at the pendant of the goddess statue on his palm, shook his head, and said, "No, this place is contaminated with too much dark aura for the goddess statue to be distinguished." ”
One of his companions, who had the model of a captain, drew his weapon, stared at the town, and said, "Then we can only go in and search." ”
The rest nodded, took out their weapons, and rode cautiously towards the town.
As the sun set and the darkness was approaching, their vision gradually darkened, and they lit the lamps.
The sound of horses breathing and walking, the sound of people's heartbeats, these three voices could only be heard in this place, and they seemed to have broken into another world, quietly, and the surrounding houses were like monsters with teeth and claws, and something seemed to be staring at them in the invisible darkness.
Although this is not the first time, no matter how many times, the oppressive atmosphere and unknown dangers still do not make people adapt to it at once.
