Chapter 24, The Dead and the Graveyard and the Dead.

Erwin emerged from the rushing water, reached out and grabbed a tree root that sprouted from the shore, slowly crawling out of the water, and at the same time pulling hard with his other hand, dragging Susan, who had fallen into a coma in the river, out of the water.

It's a relatively flat riverbank, with turquoise grass spreading out from under the trees and growing to the water's edge, forming a soft, green carpet.

Erwin dragged Susan from the river to the grass, and she was exhausted and tired like a dog.

The main reason why she was so tired was that Susan the woman lied to him - she didn't know how to swim at all, no, I should say that she could do that, like a puppy, but this swimming technique is meaningless in a rushing river!

Luckily, Erwin's swimming skills were pretty good, and he took her through rapids and reefs, otherwise the two would have drowned!

After taking a few breaths, Erwin quickly flattened Susan's body and took off her leather armor and cotton robe, revealing a white undergarment.

Because the underwear was soaked with water, it was clinging to Susan's body, and the seductive curves were clearly visible, especially the two pale red cherries in front of the towering chest, as if exuding a sweet fragrance.

It's important to save people, Erwin is not in the mood to think about those messes now, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "This woman can't see it on the outside, I didn't expect it to be a hidden **, this scale is at least d, right?" ”

Without squinting, he reached out and pressed Susan's chest, squeezing her heart with his hand, while taking a deep breath and bowing his head, pouring air into Susan's mouth.

This set of actions was repeated several times in a row, and Susan vomited and spat out a mouthful of water, and then kept coughing.

Seeing that Susan had finally regained consciousness, Erwin breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to him, exhausted.

After a while, Susan slowly came back to her senses, and sat up from the ground with a haggard expression, her eyes still a little dazed, and the memory in her mind was still stuck in the horrible suffocation of the rushing river, and then a burst of darkness drowned her.

She shook her head to get rid of the drowning sensation, and when she saw Elwin sitting next to her, she asked him, "Where is this?"

"The depths of the Shadow Mountains!"

Erwin replied casually as he took off his coat and wrung it out. Perhaps it was this sentence that brought Susan to her senses completely, she glanced down at her body, and suddenly let out an exclamation, her hands tightly hugged her chest.

"Y-What did you do to me?"

Susan shouted, a flash of anger in her eyes, making Erwin angry and amused!

"You're drowning, I'll help you do artificial respiration, undress so that you can breathe more easily, Nima's, don't tell me you can swim even if you're a landlubber." Erwin opened his mouth to explain, but finally couldn't help but complain.

Artificial respiration was a word Susan had never heard of, but that didn't stop her from guessing what it meant, and she knew what had to be done about the drowning man.

"You ......"

Susan's face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple, but her personality was originally a person who did not admit defeat, and she remembered that it was Erwin who pushed her off the cliff, so even if she was extremely shy, she couldn't help but glare at Erwin fiercely.

"Don't think crookedly, I'm just saving you, your life and being taken advantage of......"

Seeing that Susan was still angry, Elwin wanted to say that the difference between life and being taken advantage of was important, but when he thought that saying this was very suspicious of being cheap and obedient, he could only swallow back the words that had just reached his throat, lest the description become darker and darker!

Susan blushed and glared at Erwin for a moment before reaching out to retrieve the cotton robe and leather armor she had left aside.

Erwin turned his gaze to the woods next to the river beach, and said in a very casual tone: "The necromancer will not be able to catch up for a while, and we still have time to rest...... Don't wear wet clothes yet, lest you catch a cold for a while, there are no doctors here. ”

Susan was about to pause the movement of putting her clothes on her body, the flush on her face had not subsided, she lowered her head and thought for a while, but silently followed Erwin's appearance and wrung out the clothes.

At the same time, Susan couldn't help sighing in her heart, she was a very assertive girl, thinking that she could deal with any accidents calmly, but she didn't expect that since she met Erwin, her head seemed to have become dull, and he needed to be reminded of everything.

The two sat quietly resting, Susan thinking about the mess and clueless, and Erwin's heart was not at all calm at all.

It's just that he wasn't thinking about anything else, but about the necromancer.

There is no doubt that Erwin's guess was completely correct, and the necromancer has indeed been chasing them.

It's just that what Erwin didn't expect was that he didn't expect the necromancer to move so fast.

You know, necromancers aren't good at tracking. If you want to find them in such a short period of time, in the huge Shadow Mountains, unless you bite tightly at the beginning, or once you are pulled away, it will not be so easy to find people again.

And more importantly, what exactly is the purpose of the necromancer?

What was the reason why it was so eager to kill them, especially Erwin, through the recent contact, Erwin could tell that the main target that the necromancer wanted to pursue was himself, and at the same time, it was this that made him extremely puzzled.

Erwin was dug up from the tomb by the Grey Dove Mercenary Regiment, but it was only a few days, and it was impossible to offend the necromancer, and if it just attracted hatred, it would not make the necromancer so urgent.

Wait a minute!?

Erwin was stunned suddenly, and the mind that was thinking about it instantly caught a flash of light in the blink of an eye.

Tumulus! Yes, how could I forget such an important clue, necromancers and ancient tombs are inextricably linked.

Erwin felt himself grasping at the tail of the truth, and his mind immediately followed this direction.

Ever since one of the Seven Wizards, the evil black mage Ryoma, brought necromancy to the world of Elend, necromancers have been closely associated with the graveyard and the dead.

Necromancy requires dead people, and the place where the most dead people are is the cemetery, just like a line connecting these three parties, almost every rumor about a necromancer will appear in the cemetery and the dead, just like in a knight or a brave novel, there must be a princess and a dragon.

The necromancer would pursue them so urgently, but it was very likely that it had something to do with the ancient tomb that Erwin had dug up, but after he woke up, he wanted to go back and have a look, but finally dismissed this idea.

Maybe Erwin would go back and take a look, and things wouldn't have gotten as bad as they do now.

"Susan"

Erwin looked back and saw that Susan was still wearing thin underwear, and she immediately covered her chest with her hands, stared at him with brown eyes, and said in a shy tone: "What do you see! ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Erwin quickly turned his gaze to the side, and then asked, "I said, did you offend the necromancer in the Thorny Forest, why did it keep chasing us?" ”

Susan was stunned for a moment, then her face turned gray, as if she remembered her mercenary companions who were all dead, then she shook her head and said, "Impossible, we are just a mercenary group with no reputation and strength, if we encounter this kind of thing, we will not have time to dodge, how can we offend it." ”

"It's hard to say." Erwin shook his head as well, resisting the urge to turn his head to look over, "Necromancers have always had a lot of inexplicable taboos, maybe you have accidentally touched them. ”

"However, during the time we have been in the Thorn Forest, we have not found a single ruin, and we are just wandering in the dense forest with no human traces, so how can we offend the necromancer." Susan could be completely sure that the Grey Dove Mercenaries had not encountered any accidents or mysteries in the Thorny Forest.

Wait, there's an accident!

Susan's eyes couldn't help but widen, and her eyes looked at Erwin tightly, if the only surprise of the Grey Dove Mercenary Group was to dig the young man in front of her out of the ancient tomb.

Sensing Susan's gaze, Erwin smiled bitterly: "That's right, you dug me out." ”

"Is that what it is?" Susan's voice immediately trembled, and in her mind, there was also the question of why the necromancer would attack the Greydove mercenary group, but she was even more clueless than Elwin, because she had never dealt with a necromancer.

"It's hard to say, maybe it may or may not be, you should first tell me about the situation of the ancient tomb where I was buried, such as what the shape is, where it is buried, and what is in the tomb."

Susan reluctantly suppressed the strong remorse and strange feelings that welled up in her heart, and used a smooth and clear voice to describe the appearance of the ancient tomb, including the burial chamber inside.

There is nothing wrong with the appearance of this tomb and the location where it was built, even the burial chamber inside is usually visible, but it is relatively old, but in the border of the kingdom where gravediggers are rampant, how old tombs still appear from time to time.

At that time, there was nothing in the tomb of the ancient tomb, and the walls were empty, and there was not even a single mural, which disappointed the people of the Gray Dove Mercenary Group for a while.

In addition to the sarcophagus, there was only a statue of a humanoid cloak in the tomb, but when Susan said this humanoid statue, Erwin, who was listening carefully to her words, shook his body violently, and he turned his head with great speed, staring at Susan's eyes.

"The cloak of a humanoid statue, with its back to the sarcophagus?"

Sensing the thick uneasiness in Erwin's tone, Susan's heart sank, but she still nodded truthfully, the humanoid statue was indeed facing away from the sarcophagus.

"So...... That's it. ”

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