98 Olina rescued
When Marlowe returned with Princess Olena, James and Gandalf were about to go crazy, the princess was gone, and His Royal Highness's brother had disappeared for a whole day, and it was midnight at this time, but there was still no one to be seen. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's also extremely unsafe to go out and find people in the dark, and this is the time of high incidence of tribal attacks.
"Archmage Gandalf, I'll take people out to find someone, and you stay in the village to guard against a sneak attack by the orcs. James said, picking up his saber.
"No, I don't know anything about commanding operations, so I'd better go. Gandalf disagreed with James' decision.
The two inevitably quarreled, and both sides knew that there were murderous opportunities everywhere in the night, so they didn't want to let the other party get into danger. However, at this moment, Green suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Captain James, Archmage Gandalf, Marlowe is back with Princess Olena!"
The two looked at each other in disbelief, and then asked in unison, "What, Marlowe found Princess Olinna?"
"Yes, they'll be there soon!"
By the time they arrived at Cuckoo Village, Marlowe's horses were so tired that their limbs trembled, after all, no matter how good the horses were, they had already exhausted their physical strength by carrying two people all night.
Marlowe finally felt a little lighter when he saw the brightly lit village in the dark night. He jumped off his horse and carried Olena, who was already unconscious, back to the relative safety of the village.
Olena had been saying that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep an hour ago, and Marlowe was afraid that she would never wake up again if she fell asleep in this cold night, so she could only keep stirring up topics to attract the attention of the other party. But just half an hour ago, he asked Olena to tell him about the dragon war, but there was no response, and the hands hidden between the cracks in his armor were as cold as ice.
He had to urge the horse to speed up his pace again, even though he knew that the horse had reached the limit of his strength.
Entering the gate of the cuckoo village, Marlowe did not dare to delay, handed the reins to the soldiers of the night watch, and he carried Her Royal Highness on his back and went straight to the place where James was.
"James, come and heal Princess Olena!" Marlowe shouted when he arrived at the village chief's house just a few seconds before he could enter the door.
"What's wrong with the princess?" a crowd immediately gathered around.
James pushed the crowd away and yelled, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
Marlowe successfully put Olena on the bed in the cubicle and covered her with a quilt, Marlowe took out Olena's hands from under the quilt, only to see that the skin of both hands was blue, and the fingertips had begun to turn black, and her breathing was very weak, her face was covered with a layer of frost, and the whole person looked in danger.
"Everyone else goes out first. As soon as James gave the order, only Marlowe, James and Gandalf were left in the compartment.
Gandalf, though not a doctor, noticed something unusual, he looked closely at Olena's hand and said, "It's not frostbite. ”
Marlowe immediately removed a cloth bag from his waist and untied it, and the paladin and archmage finally saw what was inside.
"Holy light, is this the arm of an undead?" asked James, frowning and speaking in a solemn tone.
The power of the paladins comes from the holy angels who represent the light, so they hate and hate dark magic the most, and all those who practice dark magic should be destroyed, and all the products of dark magic should be purified. The moment Marlowe entered the door, James had already felt the breath of death, and after seeing this arm, he knew where his uneasiness and anger were coming from.
"Damn, how did you come across the undead?"
James didn't wait for Marlowe to answer before he read the Bible of Light, his body immediately emitted a dazzling golden light, Olena bathed in the holy light, the frost on her face began to melt little by little, the blue skin on her hands began to gradually return to normal, and finally, the black on her fingertips began to slowly lighten, until a sharp undead wail dissipated in the room, and all the abnormalities on Olena's body disappeared.
James dispersed the light, saw the princess's face regain blood, and her breathing became strong and smooth, and the three finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and then quietly exited the compartment.
"Now you can tell me where you have been, how Princess Olena could have been hurt by the undead. James asked with a serious look on his face.
The stump had been reduced to rotten bones in the light of the light, and Marlowe wrapped it up and threw it into the roaring fireplace, then threw the gloves off into it.
"I went to the north during the day to look for Her Royal Highness...... That's how it happened. ”
After listening to Marlowe's account, James and Gandalf finally understood what had happened to him during the day, and of course, Marlowe did not tell the two about Princess Olenna's clothes being torn apart by the orcs.
Gandalf sat by the fireplace, smoking a cigarette and frowning from time to time.
James stared at the roaring fire and said, "You're right not to go back, there must be a necromancer in that woods." Damn, I didn't expect those guys who were supposed to go to hell to infiltrate the north. ”
There is a forbidden area for life in the south of the entire human kingdom, called the Graveyard of the Dead, but it is not a cemetery covering an area of a few hundred square meters, but a swampy wetland with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers.
Thousands of years ago, the various races on the continent worked together to drive the mages, wizards and warlocks who worshiped the god of death and studied dark magic there, but because of the harsh swamp, the miasma of invisible killing, the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects everywhere, and the broken relationship between the various forces, and many other reasons, they finally failed to completely eliminate these evil guys, and then rumors spread that these guys found an island in the southern sea of mist, and got a more powerful dark magic power there.
Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
James now finally understands the meaning of this proverb more deeply. Since more than a hundred years ago, the undead forces have been ready to move, and their undead armies and all kinds of evil beings created are not afraid of death, bringing great disasters to the surrounding races every year.
These suffering countries asked the northern countries for help, but unfortunately the northern countries did not respond, and the long and comfortable life has worn out their fighting spirit and foresight, and they only think about their own acres and thirds of land and secretly peep into the land of their neighbors, as for those distant southern countries...... Who cares if they live or die, maybe it is an exaggeration to consume their own national strength so that they can march north.
In recent years, there have been occasional rumors of necromancers in the central countries, but this has not attracted the attention of the heads of these countries, after all, there is never a shortage of believers who worship the god of death in this world, and it is normal for one or two to really get the favor of the god of death once in a while, as long as an army is sent to eliminate it.
In the past hundred years, the Holy George Empire has never found any trace of necromancers, the whole empire is busy fighting against the orc tribes, and the preaching of the Holy Light Church is also conscientious, so no one thought that there would be undead in the northernmost part of the empire, and if there are undead, there will inevitably be necromancers.
James and Gandalf were now wondering what had gone wrong, where the necromancer had come from, and what his purpose was......
