Chapter 22: The Necromancer (7)
In the square of the Silverwind City, a man was standing on a high place, waving his arms and shouting. Isn't that Tanan?
"Friends, Eri has all fallen, and the Lost Lands, the Elemental Lands of Dia and Avili are burning! We can't stand idly by, it's time to do something!
"He's right, it's time to teach the damned undead and demons a lesson!"
"And the evil forces from Nigon!"
"Don't be fooled by this man! Tanan, you have already been exiled once for spreading these sensational excesses, do you want to be exiled again?"
"He's fanning the flames from city to city, and was driven out by the lord of Silvertop only a few days ago!What do you want to do, Tanan? Where do you want to take us? Would you like to see our great Blancada, the land of the Titans, protected by the gods, plunged into war?"
"Yes, no race in history has dared to attack Blancada! We elves are a peace-loving people, we are the builders and guardians of peace! Since the other races like to fight, let them fight each other, we will not participate!"
Tanan became furious: "Under the nest, how can there be no eggs? We must not stay out of the situation, otherwise, when the evil forces conquer all the continents, it will be our turn next! At that time, not only will we not find any friends who can help, but we will not even have anyone to sing an elegy for us!"
"It is because of Blancada's peaceful stance in the years of war that it has been able to prevent the flames of war from reaching the land. This has been the case, is and will be the same, and there must be no change in our position!"
"Tanan, you despicable conspirator! we won't listen to you!"
"I think he has a point! Peace has never been given by anyone, it has to be fought and fought for! Only when we all work together to defeat evil can we maintain peace in the world!" said a man who was dressed plainly, but was very strong.
"Abigail, you are a respectable person, but what you said will inevitably make everyone doubt your intentions!"
"What do I mean? My purpose is simple, not only for ourselves to breathe freely on the land of peace, but also for our children and grandchildren!" said Abigail angrily.
"Abigail, you are so eager for war, it is because you will benefit from it! As soon as the war comes, you will be able to sell more equipment, in fact, all you want is to make war money, you and Tanan are the same dog!"
"Nonsense!" Abigail said angrily, "This is a great insult to my personality!
No one dared to squeak anymore. Few people in Silverwind can beat Abigail, who is not only a world-famous armor forger, but also a formidable warrior.
Tanan sighed and pulled the angry Abigail away, pulling away the crowd and saying, "Let's go Abigail, they will wake up sooner or later, I hope it's not too late then!"
"Tanan, I'm glad to see you! You've been to the Lost Lands for too long, have you forgotten our old friends?"
"I went to the Lost Lands to find inner peace. But unfortunately, I have been looking for more than ten years, but I have never found this feeling. How are you, Abigail?"
Abigail laughed: "I used the past ten years to give birth to two daughters and a son!"
"I envy you, Abigail, are they all okay?"
"Both daughters are married, and they already have children, and I am already a grandfather! ”
"Boys are naughty, it's good, it's too honest to be honest, it's not like you gave birth!"
"Yes, if I'm not naughty, I should be in a hurry! Looks like we're going to have to find a place to sit down, and we're going to have a few drinks for the reunion!"
"Okay, let's see which of us gets down first!" Tanan said, holding Abigail's hand tightly.
"Wait for me at the hotel in a carriage!" Abigail said back to his apprentice.
Blancada is located at the northernmost point of the world, with towering peaks covered in snow all year round. In winter, the whole world is covered with a thick layer of snow and ice, and the temperature is quite cold. People here like to drink a type of whiskey that has been aged for many years with wheat to ward off the cold.
After a few glasses of wine, Tanan began to complain again. Abigail comforted, "As a visionary hero on this continent, it is precisely because you see the long term better than others that you feel lonely and lonely. ”
"I'm worried about my people. It is like the saber-toothed tiger in the depths of the mountains, if it lives in too comfortable and comfortable environment, its keen senses will gradually deteriorate, its strong jaws and claws will no longer be strong, it will be sluggish, bloated and weak, and it will become a tame lamb. ”
"Sorrow and suffering are the driving force that moves people forward. It's a pity that there are too few people like you in Blancada. ”
"It's very little, but I'm not working alone. Returning with me was Somra, the High Priest of the Temple of Light in the Lost Lands, who was also on the move. ”
"As time goes on, our team will grow bigger and bigger. Tanan, I'm going back, and I'll invite you to Qom Town when I have time. ”
"When I've traveled all the cities of Blancada, I'll come to visit you. Tanan looked at the glass in his hand, a little lost and confused in his eyes.
Abigail patted Tanan on the shoulder and walked out of the tavern.
The way home is never lost. Abigail and his apprentice drove the carriage and galloped down the avenue. This time he came to Silverwind, and he bought a lot of materials and magic potions needed for equipment manufacturing.
A few days later, at dusk, he returned to the valley where the town of Qom was located. On the small stone bridge, he took the carriage and suddenly stopped.
At this time, the village should be filled with smoke! The street lamps in the side streets should also start to ignite, why did the familiar scene in front of us suddenly become so unfamiliar?
He slowly drew his sword from under his seat, and his apprentice took out his heavy mace from the carriage. They walked slowly down the cobblestone streets, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
There were many people in the streets, wandering slowly in the dim twilight.
"Is that Mr. Black?" called Abigail, "what's wrong with you?
The crowd heard the sound and limped around the outside of the village.
Why did they all walk like this? Did they all fall and hurt their legs?
Before they could get forward, Abigail smelled a foul stench of rotting flesh coming to her face. Mr. Black's face was also clearly discernible, his face was as dead as ashes, his eyes were demented, and he stretched out his stiff hands towards him, as if he wanted to snatch something from him, and even looked like he wanted to choke him......
"Oh my God, they're all zombies!" Abigail felt like she had fallen into an ice hole, and her whole body was cold!
The zombies are running! Abigail shaved off the head of one of the zombies with a sword, and the apprentice swung it with a mace.
"Shoot their heads! Otherwise, you won't be able to kill them!" shouted Abigail, "Cover me! I'll go home first!"
Abigail slammed into the zombies one after another, staggering the zombies and slamming a path out of them!
There is also a zombie roaming the courtyard. However, instead of wandering around aimlessly, like other zombies, he walked around the courtyard in a dejected manner.
Is it guarding something in the courtyard, or is it something precious that has been lost in the courtyard?
Abigail saw clearly, it was his big apprentice Jens!
Oh my God, how many injuries did he suffer before he died?!
Could it be that even though it has turned into a zombie, it still remembers guarding this hut?
"Jens!" Abigail called tentatively, with tears in her eyes.
The zombie suddenly turned around and limped up, letting out a low growl in its throat.
"It's me, Jens!" Abigail pushed it away with the spine of her sword, but the zombie didn't pay any attention to the trembling tip of her chest! it stabbed into the cold chest against the blood-dripping tip of the sword, an inch, an inch...... And his hands were still desperately grabbing at Abigail.
Abigail kicked it away, then drew his sword. A flash of cold light flashed, and the zombie had been split in half!
Abigail looked at the collapsed corpse, her eyes blurred with tears. Jens had followed him for ten years, and had been as loyal as his own son, but now he was ......
The door was hidden, and the flickering candlelight could still be seen through the cracks.
Push open this door, what is inside? wife, Raphael...... Are you all right?
Abigail pushed the door open with a trembling hand......
His wife and Raphael were tied up and curled up in the corner, and the little girl next door, Al Mati......
They all looked at Abigail with horror and whining in their throats.
It is a blessing to see them safe!
"Release my family now, or I'll tear you to pieces!" Abigail said angrily as he pointed his sword at a dark figure in the room with his back to him.
The black shadow turned its head, and the terrifying face made people shudder! He stretched out his bone-white claws in the distance, and the long sword in Abigail's hand almost flew out of his hand!
"You can't beat me, you know that very well!" said the black shadow leisurely sitting down in the chair, "Besides, I still have a lot of helpers!"
A few more black shadows appeared in the room, and the blades in their hands flashed with cold light.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" said Abigail angrily.
"My name is Sandru, the dark lord of Dia. We're here to visit you, and we don't have any ill intent!"
"Can you still call this innocent, almost the entire village has been turned into zombies by you!" Abigail said angrily.
"We don't mean anything, but they do! They don't let us into the village, is this Blancada hospitality?"
"The people of Blancada welcome friends, but never jackals!" Abigail spat on the ground.
"It seems that their understanding is just as problematic as yours, and I have to correct their mistakes in the end. ”
At the door, a man covered in blood, with a mace in his hand, gasped for breath.
It was the apprentice who followed Abigail, but before he could speak, he was crushed by a white bone claw that exploded!
Abigail swung his sword fast enough, but it was still half a bit slower than the white bone claw! Even so, he still swung the white bone claw in two!
The three people tied to the corner of the room whimpered, and immediately closed their eyes, allowing tears to roll down from the corners of their eyes.
Sandru's cuffs flickered, and another bony claw emerged from it! He moved the knuckles of his fingers and said with satisfaction, "Very good, no different from the previous one!"
Where is this still a man? It's a demon!
Sandru continued, "Abigail, I saved you and your whole family just now, you know?"
"Do you want me to thank you? Yes, I will do it, but with the sword in my hand, I will thank you!"
"He's been scratched by zombies, and there's a good chance he's been bitten by zombies! He'll be transformed in no time, and with him by your side, you and your family will be zombies too. ”
"You demon!" Abigail said with a shuddering of rage, "You...... What the hell do you want?!"
"I just want you to do me a favor and help me craft the Spell Armor and the Ghost King's Cloak!"
"Don't you think! I wouldn't have been, and even if I could, I wouldn't have helped you!"
"I believe that such a simple question will not be difficult for Abigail, the world's famous armor casting master. Sandru smiled and said, "I'll give you time, but not too long." And I know you're going to help me! Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Sandru paused, and then said, "I wonder if your wife, your son, and this little girl are all zombies, will you bear to chop their heads with a sword?"
"You...... You...... You let them go, and I promise to go with you!" Abigail finally broke down.
"No, that should be after you helped me make two artifacts. Sandru patted the White Bone Claw.
Did he think that by doing such a thing himself, he was soiling his own claws?
"Looks like you don't have anything more to add. Pack your necessary belongings and get ready to go with us!"
Sandru walked leisurely past Abigail. Abigail was forced by his powerful evil aura to involuntarily dodge aside.
It was already completely dark. The zombies wandering outside the door stopped when they saw Sandru.
There were a few cold stars twinkling in the sky. A bone dragon glowing with an eerie glow fell from the sky, its huge feet on the roof. It folded its wings, stretched its neck, and let out a heart-stopping scream from its throat!
