When he saw Sandru again, he was in a very bad state, with a dozen disheveled strands of hair falling from his forehead, obscuring his melancholy and tired eyes.

His eyes were a little sunken, because of the long period of overwork, and his face showed an unhealthy blue and white, compared to the last time, he was thinner again, and his hands like withered claws carefully supported his wife, but compared to Vidnina's face became a little rich red, and it looked like her health was rapidly improving under Sandru's care.

But Lear knew it was just a flashback.

Moreover, after the dream he had spent with Yasha, Lear saw Sandru again, and he could clearly feel that there was an indescribable aura in both him and Widnina.

The breath associated with death.

"Maybe I should shy away. ”

Watching Sandru walk in with Vidnina in his arms, Lear smiled and greeted him before saying hello to Derek.

"No, if you don't mind what Vidnina looks like, listen to it here. ”

Before Derek could speak, Sandru responded, and Lear nodded to the couple and stood quietly on the sidelines.

"I'm sorry Al, but I didn't do what I promised you, tarnishing the honor of the Mage's Tower. ”

Derek looked at his old friend and said sadly that although he had a lot of melancholy himself, he still gave the couple in front of him the greatest sympathy.

"Don't be such an old friend, I know you've done your best, and I knew before I came that it might still be the same as before, but I don't want to give up any hope to keep you busy, for which please accept my sincerest thanks and that of Pooh. ”

Sandru bent slightly to Derek, and Vidnina bowed her head in his arms.

"If there's anything I can do for you, my friend, please speak. ”

Derek accepted Sandru's thanks and asked.

"There are no old friends, we are here to say goodbye to you, and I have a friend of mine who has written to tell me that Vidnina may be getting some help there, so we are ready to leave. ”

Sandru replied, just from his melancholy eyes Lear, even if the friend he said was far away in Eli really existed, it might be just as hopeless, after all, Widnina's condition was different from any epidemic in this world, not to mention in the era of Might and Magic when alchemy was rampant and medical technology was backward, even if it was changed to Lear's world, I am afraid that most doctors are helpless.

Because Vidnina wasn't sick at all.

It's poisoning.

"When are you going to leave?"

Derek didn't seem to notice the desperation in Sandru's tone, and he asked.

"Just after saying goodbye to you, we'll be leaving Dumont. ”

"So soon, oh no, old friend, you at least let me prepare a ceremonial farewell for you, not only for me personally, but also for the Sarabuto Mage Guild, you are also a distinguished guest, and I think everyone will be willing to do the same. ”

Derek exclaimed.

"No need Delhi, we have caused you too much trouble, so be it, we are leaving, if you insist on sending us off, please keep that precious affection in your heart. ”

With that, Sandru nodded to Derek and Lear, and then walked outside with Vidnina in his arms.

But as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by a group of guards armed with silver axes.

"What are you doing, don't you know that this is my honored guest?"

Enraged, Derek rushed to the door to keep the Sandrus behind him, shouting at the captain of the guard who intercepted them.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but we're just carrying out the Governor's orders. ”

The captain of the guard apologized, but he didn't mean to retreat.

"Even the Governor has no right to intercept the guests of the Magic Society, not to mention that the targets you intercept are two noble magicians!"

Derek was even angrier.

"If they were necromancers, the outcome might have been a little different. ”

A tall priest in a cloak stepped over the crowd to Derek, his face completely obscured by the wide cloak and heavy veil, but his eyes gleamed with a hint of holy light.

"Stay away from me, you despicable Erathians, I won't talk to the rats with their heads and tails!"

Derek, who could see the identity of the other party at a glance, obviously didn't intend to give any face.

Unexpectedly, Derek's tough cloaked priest seriously flashed a trace of anger, after all, since he arrived in Sarabhutto, both the governor and the nobles have given him extremely high courtesy, but he didn't expect to encounter such a merciless reprimand when he entered the mage association for the first time.

However, before he could attack, a slightly old voice came from behind him.

"Don't be like that, let the guest finish his words, and we won't forgive him if he preaches lies and provocations. ”

Level 8 Magician!

It wasn't until the old man in the white robe walked up to Derek from the passage of the crowd that Lear finally saw the level of the badge on the other man's chest, and Derek put away his anger the moment he saw the man.

He bowed deeply to the white-robed mage.

"Grow up. ”

Sandru and Vidnina also bowed slightly behind him.

"The last time I saw you, you were a second-level little magician. ”

The white-robed old man didn't pay any more attention to Derrick, but turned to Sandru and asked.

"Yes, Lord Zaken, that was five years ago. ”

Sandru said calmly, Lear didn't see any fear in his eyes from beginning to end, even if the current situation was that if he really had something to do with necromancers, then it would definitely be impossible to escape.

Is there something wrong with my senses? Obviously, they all have that kind of aura on their bodies, but why should he have no fear?

Lear wondered, and he looked at Vidnina, only to find that she was just looking at her husband with attachment, as if all the people standing around him were boring clay sculptures.

"I was deeply concerned about your wife's condition, after all, Derek had begged me for help in this matter, but now it seems that we may have all gone in the wrong direction. ”

President Zaken looked into Sandru's eyes, as if to find something unusual in the depths of his soul, but Sandru looked at the other with a smile, fearless and open.

"The guest from Erathia used the Holy Light to extract your wife's blood, but found the smell of evil and death in it, and you know that all the mage guilds in Antaglisi have an obligation to fight against necromancers and dark magic. ”

Zaken continued.

"Yes sir, I know. ”

Sandru still smiled in response.

"So in order not to wronged the good people, we need you and your wife to cooperate with our investigation, and if it turns out that we have misunderstood you, I will apologize to you on behalf of the Sarabuto Mage Association, and give you any compensation you want, in this way, can you accept it?"

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that much trouble. ”

Sandru turned to look at his wife, and his eyes were as gentle as a spring in the mountains.

"My dear, no matter how hard we try, this day has finally come, now tell me, are you afraid?"

He looked at Vidnina, the tip of his nose pressed against hers.

"I'm not afraid, as long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything. ”

Vidnina smiled like a young girl, just as she had met him under a peach tree in the wilderness that year.

"Maybe something terrible will happen to you later, but I ask you to believe that I will never leave you, okay?"

Sandru kissed Vidnina lightly on the lips and said softly again, his eyes never leaving his wife's eyes the whole time.

"Yes, I am sure that you will not leave me no matter what. ”

"That way, I can rest assured. ”

Sandru stroked Vidnina's hair lovingly, and carefully hooked the mischievous strands of hair behind her ears before turning his head to face Zaken again.

"Yes, as you know, my wife has never been sick, she was only bitten by a bone dragon in a battle and contracted the corpse poison, we have traveled many places to find a cure or a cure for this corpse poison, but unfortunately until today, we have despaired. ”

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, even Derek looked at Sandru with an expression of disbelief, and even more so, several guards and young magicians actually took several steps back after knowing that Vidnina was pregnant with corpse poison, with an expression of fear of corpse poison like a tiger.

"What about yourself, can you be sure that you haven't been infected after spending so long together?"

After hearing Sandru's generous self-confession, Zaken's tone was very heavy.

"I'm sure that while I've been taking no precautions, and even though I'd love to share the pain with Pooh, for some reason the corpse poison only torments Pooh and doesn't want to infect me. ”

When Sandru said this, Lear could feel that he really was thinking in his heart.

"In that case, we'll need you to cooperate with our examination later, and as for your wife Pooh, you know what will happen, right?"

Zaken said solemnly, in fact, the world's treatment of lichs and necromancers is the simplest, rough and the only and most effective kind - burning at the stake.

"Yes, I know. ”

Only at this moment could Lear feel his pain from Sandru's trembling shoulders and fingernails sunk deep into the flesh of his palms.

"But at the very least, please let me accompany my wife on her last journey, after which you can do whatever you want to me, but as a fifth-level magician, I should have the right to make such a request. ”

Sandru took Vidnina's hand, which leaned gently on his shoulder.

There was a happy smile on his face.

"I promise you. ”

Zaken said.
