Yingli City, late autumn, moonlit night.

After a day of meditation in the study, Serena looked up and forgot the night outside her eyes, and her mood was a little complicated.

During the time he was not in Yingli City, Anglin did too much for himself.

Although he has attracted many nobles and ministers over the years, there are still a large number of Kyle the Great's supporters who are ready to move after Kyle's death.

Most of these officials or nobles have shady inheritances and will have unforgivable sins. They knew very well that once Serena stabilized the situation in St. Fassen, they would definitely strike at them.

What makes people even more troublesome is that the relationship of interests between these people is complex and difficult to separate. Often when dealing with one person's affairs, a large number of people will gradually be involved.

And Anglin's attitude in dealing with these people frightened everyone.

No one thought that this holy sword, who had been decadent for more than ten years, would unknowingly firmly control the entire Victor family. And when this family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, really began to function, everyone was frightened by his hideous posture.

At the beginning, an official named Ulami, because his daughter married into the Victor family, thought that Anglin would turn a blind eye to himself for the sake of his youngest daughter. As a result, this guy, who received a lot of benefits, began to slander Serena in various public places, and even incited some colleagues to create public opinion with him and discredit Serena.

However, Urami never expected that after a week of his activity, Anglin would attack him mercilessly, and even those colleagues who were bewitched by him were not spared.

Urami was directly beheaded by Anglin in Campo de la And the girl who married into the Victor family wanted to intercede for the children in the family, but before she could even open her mouth, she was frightened away by Anglin's eyes.

Since then, a cold snap from the Victor family has begun to sweep across the city. In less than half a month, seventy-one officials and nobles were beheaded. The deep-water prisons, which can hold thousands of people, are also overcrowded.

"Anglin this guy ......"

Serena, who came to her senses, looked back at the girl from the Victor family.

"Did Anglin let you bring these files to me?" Serena tapped on the high stack of files on the table.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Because some of the information has just been put together. ”

"What's your name?"

"Moya. ”

"Also from the Victors?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Serena took a closer look at the girl again. It's not too tall, and his face looks a little immature, but his eyes are very clear.

"Do you know what it means for Anglin to let you come to me?"

"Yes, the head of the house has told me everything. ”

"Well, from now on, you will be the head of the State Supervision Bureau of the Saint Fasel Empire, and you will only obey my orders in the future. ”

"For St. Fassen. ”

The girl who bent down and saluted finally showed a look of excitement.

The next day, Serena issued a pardon for the release of the children under the age of fifteen in the Urami family. Some officials who were only used and were not deeply involved were also commuted one by one.

Led by Bonnie, the reinvigorated mercenaries made their way eastward into the mountains and forests.

"Climb over this mountain, and then through a forest, and you'll find the Demon Swamp. At our current pace, we will be there in five days at the earliest, five days at the slower. ”

Taking advantage of the break, a mercenary who had been to the Demon Swamp was briefing Bonnie on the next journey.

"Hmm...... I know. ”

While Bonnie was pondering how to beware of the Black Blood Rose's attack, a slightly reckless mercenary staggered over.

"Captain Bonnie, please save our Captain!"

Bonnie frowned, wondering what the hell the mercenary was up to.

"What's wrong?"

"Our captain's wound has never healed, and if it continues like this, he will die......"

The young mercenary said with a crying voice.

"How can this be, didn't you ask the healing magician to help you heal?"

"After the treatment, the wound healed at first, but it didn't take long for it to tear open again......"

Bonnie's brow furrowed even deeper, and she had a bad feeling.

"Bring him here. ”

"Okay, okay, what are you still doing in a daze, bring the head of the regiment here......"

Lance turned around and shouted at his companion standing behind the crowd.

Two mercenaries who looked a little wooden and had an exceptionally muscular build supported Swain to Bonnie.

"That's the wound. ”

Lance lifted Swain's shirt, revealing a wound on his back that ran from his right shoulder down to the left and down to his spine.

The wound was almost twenty centimeters long, deep enough to see the bone, and there was an uncomfortable black aura in the depths of the wound.

Bonnie's face turned solemn, and her right hand, wrapped in the blue water elemental, rested on Sven's wound.

"How?"

Weifeng, who rushed to hear the news, saw that Bonnie had not reacted for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Whew......" Bonnie let out a long sigh of relief, "It's actually ......"

Bonnie didn't go on.

"Send your regimental commander to my tent, it will take time for treatment, you all go back first. ”

"But ......"

Lance still couldn't rest assured of Swain.

"Either you will take him back and figure it out for yourselves. Bonnie's tone suddenly became stern.

"Okay, okay...... Please be sure to heal him......"

Having dispersed the onlookers, Bonnie secretly summoned Thorne and Eden.

"You two have kept me guarded outside, and no one is allowed to let in. ”

After making sure that there was no one else around, Weifeng sneaked to Bonnie's camp.

"What the hell is going on?"

"See for yourself......"

Bonnie tapped her index finger on Sven's wound, and a grayish-black mist seeped out from deep within the wound.

"This ...... Is this dark magic?"

Weifeng said very uncertainly.

"Yes and no. To be honest, even I saw this thing for the first time. ”

There was a hint of fear in Bonnie's eyes.

"I think this is the legendary necromancy, a variant of dark magic. ”

Weifeng was taken aback by Bonnie's words, and hurriedly reached out to probe Sven's wounds.

As soon as Weifeng's fingers touched the wisp of gray-black smoke, he felt a chill to his bones. It was a cold that was different from ice magic, like a chill from the depths of the soul.

"Weifeng, it's indeed necromancy. ”

Mels, who dwells in the sea of unwindy spirits, also felt the chill. As a dark creature, she could easily recognize this magic.

It's like water magic has ice variants. Other types of magic can also produce some variations for various reasons, such as some magicians with special constitutions can use some lava magic similar to the mixture of fire and earth magic, which has a stronger impact and higher temperature than ordinary fire magic.

There are also variations of light and dark magic, and necromancy is a variant of dark magic. The qualities of dark magic are erosion, fear, and confusion. When a magician takes these three qualities to the extreme, he will comprehend this kind of magic that can control the soul.

In the beginning, this magic was called soul magic. Although the ability to control and attack souls makes people a little jealous, after all, there are very few people who can master this kind of magic, and the more determined people are, the more difficult it is to be controlled by soul magic.

But later, the appearance of a person completely overturned people's understanding of this magic. This man was Heinmet, who was later called the Ancestor of Necromancy.

Heinmett stumbles upon a phenomenon that surprises even him. The soul of the newly deceased creature has not yet returned to the sea of stars, and its will is weak, and it is completely unable to resist the control of soul magic. Such a discovery made Heinmet realize that he could control the corpse that had just died through soul magic.

So, when Heinmet, with the necromantic legion he had formed in the midst of the war, openly appeared in the eyes of all countries, everyone felt the fear of annihilation.

Since then, this terrifying magic has been known as necromancy.
