After not knowing how long he had been asleep, Leon woke up and looked around with difficulty. When a person loses consciousness, the most feared thing is a change in his existence, whether it is a place or a state. In the place where he found himself still lying down before he fell, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that there is an extra piece of clothing of his own.

"She covered it for me, didn't she?"

Leon remembered the mysterious girl from before and hurried to find her. But his body was limp and unable to move.

Fortunately, the girl was not far away, sitting upright with her eyes closed, as if in a meditative state.

"Are you awake?" the girl opened her eyes and got up and walked towards Leon.

"Well, it looks like I haven't rested well for too long, so I fainted yesterday. Leon remembered that he hadn't slept well in more than a week, and naturally thought that the reason for his collapse was due to fatigue.

"Although there are reasons, don't you think your body is too weak now?" the girl still said in that cold tone.

"yes, no strength at all. Fatigue alone shouldn't be so severe. Leon thought, but couldn't think of any other reason.

"Mana deficiency syndrome. The girl seemed to see his doubts.

"Mana deficiency syndrome?!" Leon looked surprised, because this symptom is an extremely weak state that only occurs after the more powerful magicians have used up all their mana.

"Well, probably, it's because breaking that seal used up all your magic. Don't you even know something so important?" the girl's tone still didn't fluctuate.

After hearing this, Leon thought silently: "It turns out that if you run out of magic in that state, you will also replace it with magic deficiency syndrome." It seems that you need to pay more attention to that state in the future, and you must not exhaust your magic power unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

"How long will it take me to recover?" Leon was a little anxious, after all, he was still in a very dangerous stage. If they can't move, they will be found by the Assassins again, but nine lives will not be enough for them to kill.

"I don't know. Some people can recover in a day or two, but some people may not recover in ten days and half a month. The girl said lightly.

"Is it so long?" Leon was a little unsettled, lying here for ten days and half a month, and before the assassin could find him, he had already become a dry corpse.

"Don't worry, I will be with you during this time until you return to your original state. In this way, we are both clear. The girl knew what Leon was afraid of, so she dispelled his worries.

Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. I helped her break the seal, but she had already saved herself once, and it stands to reason that she had already cleared it twice. Now, she also promised that she would always be by her side until she recovered, and Leon's affection for the girl instantly skyrocketed.

Just as Leon was speculating about the girl's background, he suddenly found that the girl was still standing in front of him.

"Well, is there anything else?" asked Leon to the girl.

"Food ......" The girl showed a different tone for the first time, a little shy.

It turned out that she was hungry!

"There's dry food in the baggage in that corner, you can bring it. Leon looked at the burden he had placed in the cave.

The girl took out the dry food, handed it one to Leon, and began to eat. It seems that he is very hungry.

"Now, what's your name, why are you sealed?" Leon didn't know anything about the mysterious girl.

The girl hesitated for a moment, and did not reply directly: "You don't need to know. ”

Leon saw that the girl was reluctant to tell her secret, and it was difficult for him to continue to ask.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Although this girl's magic is very powerful, she should not have been in contact with the outside world for a long time, so she can't help but worry.

"I don't know, let's wait for you to heal. The girl replied as she ate.

"Otherwise, you will be my chief magician, and you don't have to worry about food, clothing, and lodging. Of course, I'll pay you accordingly!" Leon thought, if she was by his side, the Assassins would be no threat to him. And it can also give her a place to live temporarily, and when she is familiar with this world in the future, she can go wherever she wants.

The girl was stunned: "You dare to hire me without knowing anything about me, is this really okay?"

"What's the matter, if you have ill will towards me, you won't save me. Leon said this, because he didn't feel the girl's murderous intent towards him.

"Hehe, interesting. The girl laughed for the first time since the seal was broken. It's not the kind of laughter that makes me happy.

"If you don't speak, I'll accept the offer from you, huh?" Leon didn't understand the meaning of the girl's laugh.

The girl thought for a while, after all, life events need to be carefully considered.

After thinking about it, the girl finally made up her mind.

"Okay. But you can't blame me if you get into trouble because of me in the future. ”

"No problem, now, can you tell me your name? My name is Leon Frank, what about you?"

The girl was silent for a moment.

Leon thought to himself, "There won't be any offense against her, is the name so important to her? ”

"Snowia Bertrin. Just as Leon was about to give up, the girl finally told Leon her name. "My name is Phytia Bertling!"

"Then, Xue Tiya, please give me a lot of advice in the future. Leon smiled, struggling to hold out a hand.

"Me too. Xuedia also held out a hand and held it with Leon.

On the other hand, Warwick Royal College has already become a mess.

Kyle sits in his office, with Princess Leia, Hawke, Edelman, and the captain of the garrison standing next to him.

Liya was a little puzzled as to why all the people who were closely related to the incident were gathered here today.

Kyle has a big head. It was the fourth day that Leon had been missing, but no clues had been found. And just now came the news that the Carson Empire has officially declared war on the Warwick Kingdom, and two cities have fallen on the eastern border.

It didn't take long for a greeting to come from outside the maid at the door: "Hello Madam, Lord Kyle has been waiting for a long time. And opened the door to the office.

Coming in was a blonde elf beauty with pointed and long ears.

"It's so beautiful!" even Liya couldn't help but admire.

The elf ignored the others and walked straight to Kyle. Kyle saw the elves coming towards him and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"How's the situation going, Lord Kyle?" though the elf was elegant and polite. But I could still hear a little anxiety in her tone.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Ophelia. There is still no news from Lyon. Kyle carefully explained the current situation to the elf.

"Lord Kyle actually replied respectfully, who is this elf? Ophelia? Isn't Ophelia?" Ria was originally a little curious about the identity of the elf, but when she heard this familiar name, she was still taken aback.

That's right, this elf is Leon's mother, the current mistress of the Frank family. She is also a member of the elven royal family, the daughter of the Great Elder Fiona!

"It turns out that she is Leon's mother, no wonder she is so beautiful. After knowing that she was Leon's mother, he was full of reverence for Ophelia.

"Can you tell me more about the situation?" Ophelia continued to ask Kyle.

"Very pleasant. But I wasn't the first person on the scene, and Princess Lea was the first to find out about the situation, so I suggested that it would be more appropriate for Lord Ophelia to ask Princess Leah about it. Kyle gave Leia a pleading look.

"First of all, I have to apologize to Lord Ophelia, I'm really sorry. Ria stepped forward and bowed to Ophelia.

"No, it's not your fault. Are you Princess Leia?" asked Ophelia.

"Yes, Lord Ophelia. ”

"Well, Princess Lauria wants me to elaborate on the situation. Ophelia nodded in gratitude.

"Yes, Lord Ophelia. ”

Ria told Ophelia in detail what had happened that day, from beginning to end. Of course, what Leon agreed with her must be hidden in his heart. After all, Leon said that no one else should be allowed to know. Therefore, even in the face of Ophelia, Liya chose to conceal it.

"Anomalous magic?" Ophelia thought, pinching her chin between her fingers. "Haven't you felt the same magic since?"

"Yes. ”

"I see, thank you very much, Princess Lea. Ophelia thanked Leah.

"This is what I should do, Lord Ophelia, you're welcome!" Liya was a little embarrassed, after all, the most important thing she didn't say.

"So, Dean Kyle, I'll be part of the search as well!" Ophelia said firmly, not allowing anyone to refuse.

"Yes, Lord Ophelia. We'll have the right to cooperate with you!" Kyle finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ophelia was still very reasonable, and did not attack them because of Lyon's affairs. If the situation escalates, involving the elven kingdom again will be fatal to the current Warwick kingdom. What can be done now is to fully cooperate with Ophelia and find Lyon in the shortest possible time.

In the main hall of the royal palace, the king and the noble ministers discussed the declaration of war on the Carson Empire.

The head of the Royal Magic Order, Chirubi, first suggested to the king: "Your Majesty, the two cities on the eastern border have been lost. Lord Bill has retreated to the city of Pakabe and sent a signal for help to the royal capital. If we don't send reinforcements, it's only a matter of time before the city of Pakabe falls!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not suitable for Zeng to serve now. Zeng Bing will only make the war situation more out of control, and it will only anger the Carson Empire and bring even greater disasters!"

"Mistress Gray, you ......" Chirubi was a little angry, he was afraid of provoking the other party even though the other party had already declared war!

That's right, it was the Frank family's sworn enemies, the Pollitt family, who advocated no reinforcements.

The two families have the largest military forces in the kingdom, so they take turns guarding the eastern border.

"Do you want Lord Bill to die?" Chirubi questioned Gray.

"As a soldier of the kingdom, you must be prepared to sacrifice from the beginning! Without such awareness, how can you be worthy of being a nobleman of the kingdom!"

"You!" Chill Ruby, as a magician, must not be able to fight a scheming politician. "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the Royal Magic Order to reinforcements! at least help Lord Bill defend Pakabe City. ”

"This ......," the king hesitated, looking at Gray.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Magic Regiment is the last resort of the Kingdom. These precious mages must not be put in danger unless absolutely necessary. Gray stroked his white beard and suggested leisurely.

"Yes, we need to preserve our strength now!" the king suddenly realized.

"Then don't you even want Pakabe City?" Chirubi was a little surprised.

"Commander, please rest assured, as long as you are here. Even the Carson Empire can't go too far. It should be almost enough to take Pakabe City, and they will retreat from the difficulty. "Gray is still fooling the king with nonsense.

"Pakabe City is the last barrier on the eastern border, and you guys are crazy to send it to the Carson Empire like this?" Chiluby roared almost as he could.

"Captain, what Duke Gray said is not unreasonable, and for the time being, I will follow Duke Gray's suggestion. If the Carson Empire really doesn't know what to do, we'll teach him another lesson. The king comforted the Chirupee.

"This old fox just wants to kill the Frank family in order to eliminate their biggest opponent!" Although Chilubi guessed Gray's intentions, he was only the leader of the mage group, and there was nothing he could do.

Leon stood at the mouth of the cave, stretching in the sun.

"Ah, I'm finally alive!"

I've been lying in a cave for three days since I switched on for Mana Deficiency Syndrome. Today, he was finally able to move freely, and Leon was particularly happy. However, due to the fact that he had not changed his clothes for many days, Leon was dirty all over his body and his hair was very disheveled. At first glance, it looks like a fleeing refugee, which is very joyful.

Shezia also came out of the cave, but she still didn't seem to be used to the sunlight, covering her head with a cloak and holding her hands on her forehead to keep the sun out of her face.

"Xuedia, let's go back!"

Thinking that it has been several days since he came out, and he has not encountered assassins in the past few days, the academy should be a mess now.

"Hmm. Xuedia was still the same cold voice.

So, Leon and Xuedia headed together in the direction of Rafael City.

"Xuedia, how was the Assassin that day?" Leon was a little curious about what would become of the Assassin who was consumed by the magic.

"I've made myself a Death Knight. That corpse had that qualification. Xuedia followed Leon, answering Leon's question in a characteristic tone.

"Already made a Death Knight?" Leon repeated nonchalantly as he walked. "Wait!You're a necromancer?!"

Leon stopped abruptly and looked at Xuedia in surprise.

Xue Yuanya was also stunned: "You only know now?"

"Oh, sorry. I was so nervous that day that I forgot. Leon scratched his head, a little stunned, wondering if it was the sequelae of mana deficiency syndrome.

"What, do you regret it?"

"No, I was just surprised. It's a very rare existence to be able to meet a necromancer. ”

Xuedia was silent, did not answer Leon's words, and silently continued to walk forward.

Leon may have realized his mistake and hurried to follow in Xuedia's footsteps.

Actually, this was not the case more than 200 years ago.

At that time, necromancers, like magicians in other departments, participated in various activities openly.

But the turning point of everything is a plague that has swept through the human countries of the entire continent of Eldras.

Because of the plague, the number of human beings has plummeted by nearly 30%.

At that time, the church organized the magician guilds of various countries to investigate, and finally found that many of the plague outbreak sites had traces of necromancer activities. There is much evidence that the main culprit of this human catastrophe is the necromancer.

At the moment when the Church announced the results of its investigation. Angry humans define necromancers as demons in human skin, all sinners. Begin to use all your power to kill the necromancer.

In a moment of life and death, the necromancer also decided to form an alliance to try to defend himself.

Eventually, the Necromancer Alliance was outnumbered and defeated by the coalition. Almost all of the powerful necromancers were killed, and some of those who survived had to hide their identities and live incognito.

So, the necromancer gradually became extinct.

Even if there were, they didn't dare to appear in front of the world.

Leon looked at Xuedia's back and tried to talk to her. Just as Leon was trying to talk to her, he suddenly remembered something.

"Xuedia, wait. ”

Xuedia stopped, but did not speak.

"Actually, there's an assassin, let's see if you can make him a Death Knight as well. ”

That's right, Leon remembered the assassin he had killed that day.

Because after calming down, Leon immediately thought of the current plan. So, in order to confuse everyone, he hid the assassin's body in a tree hole next to the scene of the crime in the Dogle Forest. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

"You can try. ”

"Then let's go to the Dogel Forest first, and go this way. ”

Leon stumbled as he led Xuedia southwest.

"Can this corpse work?" Leon led Xuedia to the Dogle Forest and found the assassin's body.

Xue Yuanya looked at the corpse and frowned: "How many days has this assassin been dead?" ”

"I died the morning I left the city of Rafael, and today should be the fifth day. Can it still be used?"

"I'll try. Xuedia used her magic to store the corpse.

"Let's go, or you won't be able to get back to the city at night. After Xuedia collected the body, she said to Leon.

Leon's eyes were full of adoration: "Wow, it's done so quickly!"

“...... Is this guy stupid?" she said to the guy. If you can make a corpse into a death knight in an instant, you have to be at least a 6th-order necromancer, and the previous one took me a day to complete, doesn't this guy have any common sense? However, the seal magic that can unlock me is at least at the 5th level, right?

"Then let's go, I've been like a refugee these days. I have to take a good shower and sleep and eat when I go back!"

"You'll have to go back alone before you get to the royal city. ”

"Why?"

"The less people know about my existence, the better. But don't worry, I'll protect you in the dark. ”

"yes, okay. ”

After all, more than two hundred years have passed since the plague event, but necromancers are still the target of hunting by churches, adventurers, mercenaries, etc. Be careful.
