CHAPTER XXII
The afternoon sun is shining, and the air in the forest is clear. As the frost giant fell, the monster came to its senses, and the young magicians at all intersections breathed a sigh of relief.
Follow-up reinforcements from the Magical Students' Guild arrived, bringing a large amount of supplies.
Things were going more smoothly than expected, and Meltia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A large number of follow-up troops of the Student Council came to the various intersections, always in the hundreds, who took over the territory of the advance magicians and built temporary camps in the rear.
Each crossing has a large number of demonic beast corpses, which are extremely valuable and can be recycled and reused.
In the makeshift camp, more than two dozen magicians arrived one after another. After a morning of non-stop use of magic to stop the demonic beasts, the faces of these mid-level magicians were very pale.
Excessive magic brings not only mental exhaustion, but also physical deprivation.
Fortunately, the camp has already prepared hot water, food, and beds, which can replenish the strength of the magicians.
"Whew!" Lan Li sat on the ground, picked up a glass of milk and drank it, without the slightest sense of being a beauty.
"I'm tired!"
Lan Li, who had drunk a lot, turned a lot rudder, watched Meltia come to her, and handed her a glass of milk.
The camp was not large, and there were only a few people in the open space on the periphery at the moment, eating around the campfire.
Meltia took the milk and sat down next to Lanley. As the president of the Magical Student Council, Meltia had a lot to do, and she didn't return to camp until now.
"How's it going?"
Meltia took a sip of milk, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The situation is a bit complicated, an old professor in charge of coordinating with Professor Umir has found traces of someone using necromancy deep in the forest. ”
"Necromancy? Is that old John's accomplice?"
"There's no way to know for sure!" Meltia shook her head and asked instead, "By the way, are they all back?"
"Out of the twentie, only Will hasn't come back yet!" Lanley replied.
"What?"
"Don't worry, after all, Will is also guarding a junction alone, it may be a little difficult for him! But with his character, if there is danger, he will definitely not hold on. Lan Li didn't care about picking up a plate of beef brisket and eating it.
"If you knew what he's been doing for the last few hours, you wouldn't think so?"
"What did he do?" Lan Li blinked wide, looking at Meltia with some curiosity.
"He used Professor Umir's ancient magic to freeze the rodents, then terrorized the other beasts and forced them to take a detour. Alone there for tea and breakfast!"
"This bastard!" Lan Li then realized that something was wrong and said, "If this is the case, he should have come back sooner!"
"Did the team that went to take over the intersection send a report back?"
"Not yet!"
While the two were worried, Will walked in from outside the camp munching on a chicken leg.
"Yo, what about eating?"
Will's usual greeting was met with rolling eyes, and Lan Li asked, "Why did you come back?"
The greasy chicken leg bones were thrown by Will casually, "It's not too early to watch the sun, so I went to catch a chicken for lunch! ”
Will glanced at the food on the low table on the floor, brisket, fruit, milk, cheese......
The value of the food on this low table alone is probably worth the food expenses of an ordinary farmer for ten years.
What a luxurious life of the decadent feudal magic aristocratic class!
Will shook his head, and with a deep sense of bitterness, sat down to destroy these rotten and depraved products.
"Meltia!" Will picked up a piece of cheese and quietly distanced himself from Meltia. The flattering expression made Lan Li on the side stunned.
"What's the matter?" said Meltia, who seemed to be angry, and ignored Will.
"I heard that there are still a lot of corpses of demonic beasts that can't be disposed of?"
Looking at Will's grinning expression, Meltia smelled a sense of conspiracy. "What do you want to do?"
"As the vice president of the student union, I have always been anxious, how can I watch these troubles bother you, the elder?"
"Tell me the truth!" Meltia's blue eyes stared at Will calmly, making him feel a little weak.
"I know a good furrier who specializes in buying monster skins. How?"
"Alright!" Meltia said, turning her head, "you're in charge." ”
"The money, you see?"
Will rubbed his hands together and looked at Meltia with a smile on his face.
"All to the Student Council!"
“.......!”
........
The Frost Giant's turmoil soon subsided, and the Nibelungen regained its calm.
"You used the necromancy in the ring?"
In the farmhouse, the old woman sat across from Will and asked.
"That's right, and two more weird things!"
Will waved his hand, and a black swirl appeared above the floor. Twin Jacks rose from the whirlpool and appeared in front of the old woman.
"These are the two extra puppets I had when I sighed with the Grim Reaper, and strangely I had a sense of non-existence with them, and I was able to summon them. Didn't you tell me that Death Sigh still has this function!"
With a solemn look on her face, the old woman stood up and looked at the body of Twin Jack, "The sigh of death can strip the souls of the living from their bodies, and the soulless bodies will naturally turn to dust. There is only one possibility of such a mutation! It has something to do with the Ring of Osiris!"
"Ring of Osiris, haven't you used this ring before?" Will asked, touching the skull ring on his finger.
"I'm cursed by the gods, I'm full of death, where do I need to use necromancy to get the Ring of Osiris?" said the old woman with a self-deprecating smile.
"As for John, he's a half-necromancer, and it's impossible for him to use legendary necromancy!"
Will stood up, walked over to Twin Jack's faces, and removed the ghostly masks from their faces.
Surprisingly, there were not hideous skeletons and rotting masks beneath the mask, but two identical delicate faces, and two pairs of hollow eyes embedded in them.
"Gemini Jack is a woman?"
Will was a little surprised, after all, there was no difference in their sexes from the outside.
"They are no different from living people, except that their souls are bound to their bodies. ”
"Is it just like you?" Will asked.
The old woman did not answer, and sat back in her place.
"If you want to explore the secrets of the gods, you don't have the qualifications to do so right now. ”
