Yellow Springs is the place where the souls of people go after death, but not many people are happy to go there, especially those who have died. Necromancers use this attachment and reluctance to the world to bring back the souls of the dead from the deep ghost realm, and those who cannot be redeemed by faith are often attracted to the sorcerer's spells and then imprisoned.

At that time, the necromancer Tilly had just learned the necromancy of the Law of Death. She began learning the laws of death at the age of twelve, and in thirty-six years she had mastered all twelve necromancy, and then began to test her abilities on corpses, as a necromancer would practice. She didn't dare to go to the city inhabited by humans, because after humans mastered science, their strength was so strong that no magician could resist it head-on, but the wasteland in the far north was inaccessible, let alone how many corpses there were, so a little necromancer like her, who just had a little mana, had to avoid humans and go south along the Dnieper River, wanting to find a village to live in. Maybe there will be someone who died near the village?

Since Tilly began to learn necromancy at a very young age, and since necromancy is a kind of soul ability, she often sat down for months without moving, eating or drinking, and her bodily functions were close to stopping, but no creature dared to approach the necromancer - except for humans, so she chose to practice alone in a desert where there was almost no danger. For this reason, although Tilly's age is close to fifty years old, she is only close to fourteen or fifteen years old, both physically and mentally. The so-called cultivation has no time, and magic and necromancy are not the same. Thirty-six years seemed like a blink of an eye for Tilly, who had both parents died after returning from the Far North Wasteland. It wasn't difficult for Tilly to see her dead parents, but she didn't want to disturb the peace of the dead, let alone be discovered by other necromancers, so she used her abilities to guard her parents' spirits to the other side of the Eternal Gate. Ordinary people's souls will be saved by the power of their faith after passing through the Eternal Life Gate, and will avoid being imprisoned by necromancers or some other superpowers, Tilly's soul lingers outside the Eternal Life Gate for a while, and then returns to the body. It was the first time she had used necromancy, not to take her soul to be imprisoned, but to requiem. But in her grief, she forgot the necromancer's rule - to leave the underworld as soon as possible. The fluctuations of her presence in the underworld have awakened an evil necromancer, who is eager to take Tilly, who looks so young and cute, into his own slave, even if he wants to kill her first. Soon after Tilly's return, the evil Necrologist's soul tracked her from the underworld, found her location, and marked her while she was asleep—the evil Necromancer was so powerful that Tilly didn't even notice when his soul came into contact with Tilly. Then, his soul returned to his earthly body and tracked it down to Tilly.

Tilly's boat floats on the Dnieper, which is still cold on a spring morning, but compared to the water of the River Styx, the water is simply a hot spring. The occasional breeze was cool, and Tilly's brow furrowed as she sniffed the earthy scent of the air. There are other passengers on the ship, but Tilly has no affection for humans, and is more interested in the souls of the underworld, because the dead will not be hypocritical to her, let alone have any intentions. Once a young man tried to come and talk, but was frightened back by Tilly's pale face and cold eyes, and obediently sat back in his seat, not daring to look at Ben.

The wind sent another cool shower, and Tilly closed her eyes comfortably, letting the cold wind blow across her face, and a faint breath of death came from the shore. There are undead here, and they are undead. Tilly excitedly opened her eyes and looked around to see a rocky beach by the river. She made a note of the place.

The evil necromancer watched Tilly drift by from the shore, and he knew that the female necromancer had keenly spotted the undead aura he was exuding, and was content to wait for her to come back and take the bait. He was intrigued by her sensitive reactions and young body. Before the female necromancer returns, he had to prepare himself to draw spells in inconspicuous places in order to detain her soul as quickly as possible.

It was already noon when Tilly returned to the rocky beach, and she carefully searched for the undead she had found here in the morning, as a necromancer had to be careful of the undead, because any undead who dared to wander between the land before they were collected was dangerous. Tilly put her hand on the silver bell around her waist, she knew how to shake twenty-one scales in a second, different scales combined into different necromancy, and what she was preparing now was to shake out the timbre of detention the moment she found the undead. Sweat seeped from the tip of her nose, and she was catching the undead for the first time, and the tension was almost inevitable. Although I have been to the underworld many times, it is still very challenging to actually face the undead. There was another breath of death ahead, and she even smelled the corruption of the dead, and just as she was about to ring the bell, a crisp bell rang behind her. The melodious sound of the bell as gold vibrated her heart, stripping her consciousness from her body and sending her to the underworld. The sound of the bell seemed to be a strong force, pushing her towards the gate of eternal life, but it imprisoned her on the side of the door. A cold wind blew out of the door, making her tremble.

A man came to her, looking like a walking skeleton covered with a layer of skin, and he seemed to be over six hundred years old—six hundred years wasn't a long time for a necromancer, but he looked too old. His deep-set eye sockets shimmered with a terrifying green light. Tilly wants to struggle, but her soul is imprisoned outside her body by Suzune. The man looked at Tilly as she was restrained, smiling wickedly.

"I am a necromancer," he said, "little girl, tell me your name. The evil necromancer touched Tilly's face with his claws, and the smooth, elastic skin sank deep under Hoan's sharp nails, and Tilly had no doubt that even a little more force would pierce her cheek.

Tilly hesitated, reflexively trying to reach for the bell from her waist, but she couldn't move. Although it was not a great bell that imprisoned her soul, Tilly lost touch with her body after being attacked. Only the head and throat were not sealed, because he asked her to answer a question - her name. A wizard's name is absolutely secret, and once the name is known, it is possible to use the name to cast a detention curse. So, whether it's a necromancer or a magician, few people know their names.

The evil necromancer's hand slid from her face to her neck and was still moving downward, and she couldn't help but blurt out in desperation, "Tilly!"

The evil necromancer stopped, looked her in the eye excitedly, and once he knew her name, he was ready to cast a spell, and although he was not a great necromancer, he was good enough to do what he wanted to a person who had no power to fight back, even if that person was more powerful than him. So he slowly recited the incantation, and the incantation around Tilly slowly brightened, she knew that it was a bondage incantation, and if the necromancer recited all the incantations, her body would be forever subservient to him, and become a living slave for him to drive.

"Are you going to use that?" Tilly wasn't too scared, but a little unwilling, after all, she didn't have a way to save her life, but the price was a little too big. Anyone like her, who studied under a high-level necromancer, would be given some secret inheritance to save their lives, after all, the profession itself is so close to death. But all kinds of secret legends will have a price to use, some are longevity, some are part of the body, and some are even more bizarre, and the price of Tilly will be that her life will be sealed, and for a long time, she will lose her youthful vitality and can only barely maintain herself alive.

The evil necromancer saw Tilly's lips tremble, and he felt a little inappropriate in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, could it be that she was scared? Halfway through the book, he finally realized that something was wrong, that the spell was shining too quickly. At this moment, all the spell patterns behind Tilly lit up, and Tilly's lips stopped fluttering, she was using the spell set by the evil necromancer to cast a spell on him in turn.

"It can't be," he cried out desperately as he looked at the glowing incantation, "you don't know my name, you can't cast a detention spell on me." ”

Tilly smiled lightly and asked, "So what's your name?"

The evil necromancer froze and laughed, "Don't scare me, do you want to take my name and cast a spell on me? Hahaha, do you think I'm stupid? I'll be stupid enough to tell you my name?"

Tilly chuckled and said, "You're stupid, but there's no need to be stupid enough to tell me your name, because I don't need your name, I can still cast a detention spell on you." She put down her right hand, which had been detained for nearly half an hour, and with a flip of her fingertips, she took the bell around her waist in her hand. Before the evil necromancer could react, a soft bell rang out, and his soul was directly imprisoned in his body, and his body was as lazy and muddy as if he was drunk.

"What's your name?" asked Tilly, smugly, feeling a wave of nausea and fatigue as soon as she spoke. In the state of the soul imprisoned, she also cast a spell to counterattack, which made her body a little unbearable.

"No, I won't tell you, if you want to enslave me, you might as well kill me. The evil necromancer let out a hoarse scream from the depths of his throat, visibly frightened by Tilly's counterattack.

"Won't you tell me?" Tilly stared at the evil necromancer, who was not difficult to deal with since he had learned the same death-based magic as herself. She knotted her soul power in the palm of her hand and flicked it towards the spell mark beside her, and the spell disappeared, and with another wave, a new spell appeared. Tilly pointed her finger at the center of the evil necromancer's brow, and the spell flew in and out of the center of the evil necromancer's brow.

"Tilly!" a voice echoed in the ears of the evil necromancer, who knew that his soul was dominated by the name. Ordinary detention charms are governed by the name of the detainee, but the advanced detention charm can erase the mental imprint given by the name to the detainee, and imprint the name of the detainee in the detainee's mind.

"Now I'll ask you again, what's your name?" asked Tilly.

"Hoan," said the evil necromancer, "Master, at your command. He never dreamed that he could perform spells without knowing the other party's name, it seems that this young female necromancer is not something he can resist, not to mention that now his soul is branded with her name, and he no longer has the ability to think independently.

On July 7, 1941, the Battle of Kiev began. Because Stalin refused to agree to Zhukov's plan of abandoning Kiev's war, he relieved Zhukov of command and integrated him into the command system of the front-line reserves; Kiev was later besieged and eventually fell. The Soviets lost almost 700,000 troops in this campaign, while the Germans lost only 100,000. On 26 September, the day of the destruction of Kyiv, Marshal Timoshenko evacuated the front line by plane, and the interim commander, General Kirponos, was killed by a bullet after unsuccessful resistance.

His name was Kilpostno, and he was a great undead, and he had a lot of undead soldiers under him, and he and they all died in the same battle. It was not so much the enemy who killed them, but their own leaders who killed them. It is better to have a bad commander than to run into an enemy ten times larger than themselves, which is what they often complained about when they fought hard in Kyiv. Although the undead were killed in battle, they harbored a strong grudge, and Kilpostno wandered the undead on the battlefield for a long time, until they met Tilly.

Tilly had just subdued Hoan at that time, and snatched a lot of treasures from Ho'an, including a soul bag. Although Hao'an's mana is not very strong, he has lived long enough. Living long enough means that he has a lot more opportunities than Tilly, who has just debuted, and it is these treasures that he has obtained by various means, and this soul bag has been obtained with great difficulty. As a necromancer, spiritualism is a basic course, and almost every necromancer knows it. But there's a lot of souls, where are they going to be stored? It depends on whether there are enough corpses. Generally, a necromancer imprisons his soul in a dead body with a bell, and if he dies not long ago, he becomes a zombie, and if he becomes a skeleton, he becomes a skeleton soldier. And if there is no suitable body, then the soul can only be put in a container. Most necromancers have their own magic weapons, usually soul bottles or soul boxes, and the poor quality can hold one or two, and the good quality can hold dozens, so necromancers often have the embarrassing thing of finding a soul without a corpse or having a good corpse but no soul. And this soul bag can actually hold tens of thousands of souls, and once the soul is attached to the corpse or skeleton and becomes a zombie or skeleton soldier, this bag can also take back the soul, which is an ability that ordinary magic weapons do not have.

It didn't take much effort for Tilly to collect Kilpostino's undead, and with a slight shake of her hand, the conjuring spell of sixteen bells brought him to Tilly. The young female necromancer was a little surprised by the brave soldier's spirit, and she was relieved when she learned that this undead spirit was the general who led the 700,000-strong army to defend Kyiv.

"If you're a general, what about your people?" Tilly likes to talk to the undead, as she feels that the undead are safer than humans.

"My men are dead," Kilpostano replied with some sadness, "the army group of more than 700,000 was surrounded, and we later ran out of artillery shells, and could only use grenades and guns against enemy tanks." He seemed to be back on the battlefield and said flatly, "I wanted to lead my troops to tear a breakthrough and break out of the encirclement, but Comrade Stalin did not even send us reinforcements." More than 55,000 people died in that battle and 650,000 surrendered. ”

Tilly didn't know what a tank was, she was only interested in the dead soldiers.

"Where are they?" said Tilly, waiting for Kirpostano to calm down a little, "your dead soldiers, are they also as unwilling to go to the world of eternal life as you are?"

"Yes," said Kirpostino with a nod, "most of them refused to go, and I gave the souls of all the soldiers a three-day vacation, and they went to visit their relatives and then returned. Only a dozen of them left the group," he glanced at Tilly, "maybe they were captured by the necromancer." ”

More than 50,000 undead, this is definitely not a small number, "Can you bring them?" Tilly's voice was a little urgent, she never thought that she would be able to get so many souls at the beginning of her debut, which meant that as long as there were corpses, she could become her subordinates. And it seemed to her that it was all a dream.

"Of course," replied Kirpostino, "master, your request is an order to me. "Obedience is something deep in the soul of a soldier, deeper than the imprint of Tilly's necromancy. When 55,000 souls were placed in the dementor bag, Tilly felt that she was no longer the fledgling little character, she had become an amazing necromancer. It was tiring to collect the undead and make a contract, but she did it.

"From now on, you can call Kyiv. Tilly said nonchalantly that she didn't want Kirpostno to remember what happened when he was alive, and even if she did, it would have nothing to do with who he was now, so she wanted to change everything, including his name. But she retains Kiev's command of the army of more than 50,000 undead, because she doesn't know how to manage the troops, and he, them, are hers.

Kiev followed Hoan south, fought another 20,000 undead in the wilderness in Smolensk, and eventually defeated and subdued them - after all, Hoan was a necromancer, and although he had lost his ability to think, he still had spells. Tilly then returned to the Northern Wilderness with her men, and she was called back by her teacher, who only sent her a wave through the water of the underworld to tell her that the Yellow Springs Cave was about to open.
