"So...... That's it. ”

Erwin sighed deeply as if he had lost all his strength in an instant.

Seeing Erwin's face, Susan had already guessed that the humanoid statue with its back to the sarcophagus was directly related to the necromancer who attacked the Grey Dove Mercenary Regiment.

To confirm this, she immediately asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Erwin exhaled slowly, and replied, "Did you know that once upon a time, Elender had a period of two hundred years known as the Undead Mania. ”

"Undead...... Frenzy? Susan whispered, her two thin curved eyebrows furrowed slightly, apparently she had never heard of it.

Erwin was not surprised by this, the time of the undead frenzy was long before the advent of the Peace Calendar, thousands of years ago, and in the era of the absence and breaking of the strict record of Yan zhòng, it is normal for Susan, as an ordinary person, not to know.

It was a hundred years after the evil black mage Ryoma brought necromancy to the world of Elend, and this evil spell was first obscure, and was even disgusted and spurned for a time.

Later, after Ryoma killed Grover, one of the Seven Wizards, and made him into an undead puppet, the undead spell spread throughout Elend in a very short period of time.

Countless spellcasters were deeply curious and fascinated by this spell based on the power of death, even the high-level spellcasters of the Titan Holy See and the Nature's Breath Alliance were no exception, even if the Pope and the Elders at that time explicitly ordered that the study and dissemination of necromancy spells be forbidden, it still could not stop the high-level from studying in private.

In the years that followed, the number of necromancers increased dramatically, and soon became a ubiquitous group that could not be ignored, and there was even a high-ranking necromancer who openly called on other necromancers to establish a pure realm of death.

Of course, such a delusion is impossible, even if the necromancer has always been neutral. The Titan Holy See and Nature's Breath will not allow it, and other countries, large and small, will not allow another powerful and terrifying force to appear, but it also shows how far necromancy flourished at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a frenzy

As the number of necromancers increased dramatically, the friction and confrontation between them and the living became more and more acute, and one of the main reasons was the problem of the dead.

Most of the necromancers need the research material of the dead, and among them, the corpses of young humans are the best, but unless it is a war, how can so many young people's corpses be provided for necromancers to use.

As a result, in addition to the increasing number of cameo gravediggers, necromancers even exhibited wanton murder, slaughtering villages to collect corpses.

The sharp contradictions and conflicts between the living and the dead, became more and more severe, accumulating to a critical point in the two hundred years after the appearance of necromancy.

Subsequently, all the hatred and grudges finally exploded in the year that Ryoma was killed.

The Titan Holy See and the Breath of Nature Alliance, along with more than a dozen major nations of humanity, have joined forces for the first time since the Dark Ages to call for the destruction and purification of the undead.

This is the anger accumulated in the world of the living for more than two hundred years, and the necromancers who are caught off guard and are fighting on their own are powerless to resist, and they have been burned to nothing by the anger of the living in just a few years

The period in which necromancers went from obscurity at their appearance to their heyday of fanatical gestures over the past two hundred years, and finally disappeared after being eliminated, a period known as the Necromancer, which is hidden in the corners of history.

Now only some ancient libraries, as well as Erwin, who has read the historical background information on the official website of the "Divine Fire" game, know about this event in history.

After listening to Erwin's story, Susan was speechless for a long time, and her mind had already flown to the distant river of history with his description. I have to say that Erwin does have a talent for storytelling, and a boring ancient history is told by him vividly, just like a novel, so that Susan, a girl who has not seen much, can listen to it.

Thankfully, the only audience member didn't know what Erwyn's story of the forbidden history meant, and she subconsciously thought it was just her own loneliness.

If someone who knows enough about history heard Erwin's story, I am afraid that he would have begun to doubt his identity long ago.

Feeling the heaviness of ancient history, Susan didn't dwell on it for long, and soon looked up at Erwin and asked, "So, does this history have anything to do with what we are experiencing now?"

"Of course it does!" Erwin nodded as a matter of course, the main reason why he wanted to tell the history of the undead frenzy was to explain the cause and effect.

"At that time, gravedigging was very rampant, in order to obtain fresh corpses, necromancers can be described as frenzied, often a deceased person has just been buried, and it will be dug up by necromancers that night, even nobles and royalty are no exception, no, it is better to say that necromancers prefer to dig the graves of people with noble status!"

Susan frowned, wondering if she remembered that the Grey Dove Mercenary Group had made a cameo appearance as gravediggers like the necromancer, and asked with an unnatural face, "Isn't there a way to stop them?"

Yes, of course! As long as the cremation is open, it is safe, fast and convenient!

Erwin silently complained in his heart. However, he also knew that in Elend, the stake was burned to punish the most heinous sinners, because it was believed that after the body was burned to ashes by the flames, the filthy soul could not enter the pure land of heaven, but could only be banished to the land of oblivion, where it would suffer forever.

Therefore, unless there is a large-scale plague, people will not burn the bodies of their relatives in flames because of necromancers.

"In the beginning, there was really nothing to do, you couldn't send soldiers to guard the cemetery day and night, and ordinary grave keepers couldn't stop the necromancer at all. However, there was no way to just target the commoners, and it didn't take long for the nobles to come up with a way to use necromancers against necromancers! ”

"How to use a necromancer against a necromancer?"

Susan raised her eyebrows in surprise, she thought that the nobles would use their privilege to keep the soldiers waiting day and night, just like the royal tomb guards, and they didn't have the idea to come up with strange methods

"That's right, this method is actually a necromancy spell, called [Soul Chasing Ritual], and the reason why we are being hunted down by necromancers now is the effect of this necromancer."

Erwin said with great certainty.
