Chapter 36: A Mortal's Choice

The most important reason for Rovi's final decision to work with Lady Alvina Ava was not the vow that Lady Ava had made in the name of the goddess of magic, but the message she gave to Rowe for free.

A ruler of the undead legion with tens of thousands of undead legions and from the last era is definitely a terrifying demon king-level existence for Luo Wei.

This Candia City, which has become a dead place, is definitely more dangerous than the sealed Ancestral Spirit Valley, and it must not stay for long!

"Lady Ava, why did you choose me? You have more and better options in this Candia city, right?"

But before he can escape Candia, Rowe must first figure it out, and he doesn't want to be killed by an unknown pit.

"Why?" Alvina Ava glanced at Rowe, "If it were you, would you choose to trust the so-called companions who have hurt you harshly, or will you choose the stranger who saved your life at any cost in times of crisis?"

The answer to this question was so obvious that Rowe nodded in understanding.

Alvina Ava, the Archmage of the Six Rings, after being cheated by Archmage Pendria and others, who were originally companions, obviously no longer trusts all of Candia, except for Rovi, a stranger with a clear conscience at this critical moment.

"Alright, let's talk about the rest of the way, now you come with me!

Alvina Ava turned around and said without looking back as she walked in the direction of the main entrance of the Academy of Magic.

Luo Wei only hesitated slightly. He turned his head to look in the direction of the loud silver-white tower. Then he took a big step to catch up with Alvina Ava.

Walking along the slope tunnel path with torches lit. Without any hindrance, the two of them came to the broken gate of the Academy of Magic.

"Ah, dear Lord Rovi, where are you going, if it is not of great importance, please go down and do it as you are told!"

As he walked through the ruins of the gates of the Academy of Magic, Rovi saw Hackenbauer, a priest who was familiar to him and belonged to the Temple of Splendour.

Along with Hackenbauer were several neatly draped temple guards, as well as ...... Two acquaintances of Rowe.

Sacratin, the Awakened of the Wolf Bloodline. Cynthia, a bronze-level female assassin, suddenly stood not far from Hackenbauer, shouldering the burden of guarding the "gate" of the Academy of Magic together with Hackenbauer and others.

"Necromancer, you...... Oh, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the mountains, hunting down the Bloody Blade bandits?"

After seeing clearly that the person who came over was actually Luo Wei, a necromancer who had fought side by side in the small town of Asrat, and had also saved his life with a miraculous surgical operation, his mouth immediately opened in surprise.

The female assassin Cynthia was still covered in black, revealing only beautiful eyes. The Book of Death was still tightly carried behind her back, and unlike Sacraradin, she only glanced at Rowe. But he did not speak.

Running into Sacraadin and Cynthia was definitely an accident that Rowe didn't want to encounter, but because he had seen the two from a distance in the morning, Rowe was only a little surprised in his heart, and then he had a countermeasure.

"Is that you, your boss Colonway?"

Luo Wei nodded to the priest Hackenbauer, and after saying hello, he moved his gaze to Sakaradin and Cynthia, and asked casually.

"He's been...... What are you doing kicking me, woman? If you are killed, you are killed, what is there to say. ”

Sacraadin opened his mouth to reply, but before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by a silent female assassin, Cynthia, but unfortunately the nerves were too thick, and he didn't realize that Cynthia kicked him to stop him.

The slave trader Korenway was killed? "Korenwei was killed?"

This news made Luo Wei a little surprised, after all, the slave trader Colon Wei was also an old man, and he was also a subordinate of the Count Risto family, one of the five duke families of the Duchy of Raven, who would dare to kill him and not kill the mouth of the insider?

"You ask herβ€”" Sacraadin pointed at the female Assassin Cynthia, "this woman knows, but she just won't tell me." ”

"Can you find a secluded place to talk about it?"

As Rowe turned his gaze, Cynthia finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Is that okay?" said Rowe to Priest Hackenbauer, "I'm just going to run some errands, so I can just let the two of them come with me and act as my makeshift guards, you knowβ€”Candia is a little messy right now." ”

"Of course you can! There is no problem at all! Please feel free to respect Lord Rowe......! Would you like to bring a few more Temple Guards?"

Where would the priest Hakenbauer refuse, if it weren't for the fact that Candiari was really chaotic at night, and from time to time there were guys who were driven crazy by the evil thoughts of the fallen gods running around, and he even planned to recommend himself to be a night guard for Rowe.

"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to, it's enough to have two of them with you. ”

Luo Wei clearly shook his head and refused, the real reason why he took the Sacratins away was not to go to the errand and need a guard to accompany him, nor to hear Cynthia say in detail who killed the slave trader Korenway, but just didn't want to keep the Sacratins and the two to stay here and leak his old bottom.

In this way, Rowe easily left with the Sacratins, and under the guidance of Alvina Ava, they made their way to the north of the city, and finally came to a place not far from the northern part of the city wall.

Passing by a food store that was still in good condition, Rowe had Sakaladin knock on the food shop by force, and then forcibly sold a large bag of sausages and other foods that had been hidden by the owner.

People are iron, rice is steel, soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved, and it is indispensable to go out of the city to "adventure" dry food.

"This is it, in the well in front of it, there is a secret passage that leads to the direction of the Sighing Desert Hill. "Alvina Ava leading the way. Finally stopped. She pointed to a well not far away. Then he turned his head to look at Luo Wei: "Where are your undead corpses hidden?"

"Necromancer, where the hell are we going?"

Under Cynthia's suppression, Salakdin, who had endured not talking much all the way, finally couldn't help but take the opportunity to ask such a question at this time.

"In an abandoned mine cave a little to the west, you need to take a detour. Rowe replied to Alvina Ava before saying to Sacratin, "Candia is in extreme danger, and I will take you to life." ”

They said. Is it true that an ancient relic with countless zombie warriors has been discovered in the Academy of Magic?!"

It was Cynthia who spoke, and she was visibly surprised.

"Well, it's true, and these zombie warriors aren't the key, there are even more ruthless characters underground. ”

Rowe nodded, and then indistinctly told Cynthia and Sacaradin the information he had received from Alvina Ava.

"Holy White Wolf, there is a god in the sky, and the earth is full of madmen and evil beasts. Now there are zombies and ruthless characters underground, which makes it impossible to keep people alive......"

Sakaradin's eyes widened. He had never experienced such a precipitous situation.

"Glad you barbarian, glad you met a good man. ”

Alvina Ava said this, and she led the way to the well.

"The people who killed Cologway were a group of sheep-headed demons. ”

Cynthia took the second step, and as she passed by Rowe, she whispered.

Sheep-headed demons?

Oh...... The so-called sheep-headed demons are actually a contemptuous term for demon worshippers, because one of the hallmarks of demons is the pitch-black spiral horns that are born on the top of their heads.

If it was the sheep-headed demons who killed Corenway, then the city of Candia was indeed as the Grand Priest Papandelli had guessed, and there were demon worshippers lurking in order to please the demons they worshipped by destroying good things.

In this way, the form of Candia is more and more desperate.

Although he came to such a conclusion, Luo Wei did not have any thoughts of being a hero who turned the tide and saved the people from fire and water.

This is different from taking a small risk to save someone around him on the premise of doing what he can, Luo Wei does not feel that with the strength he has now, he can stick to Candia and live until the moment of victory when all the evil forces ambush or retreat.

To put it more coldly, that is, this city called Candia has no interests that cannot be abandoned with Rowe, and the people living in the city have no relatives with Rowe's blood thicker than water, so he Rowe has no obligation to shed blood for the unknown.

This may be cruel, but this is the reality, there are noble people in any world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, but Luo Wei never felt that he was a noble person, he was just an ordinary person.

Ordinary people do noble things when their brains are hot, but more often than not, ordinary people tend to be egoistic.

"Tsk, those spirits in the Great Griffon's Tavern. It's a pity. ”

Sacradin looked back, and then walked past Rowe with a sigh, he was just as ordinary as Rowe, though he had a slightly bigger personality and always had a lack of brains.

At this time, Alvina Ava, who was at the forefront, had already entered the well like a big gecko along the inverted grooves on the inner wall of the well.

Rowe looked around, and after making sure that no one had noticed anything unusual here, he was the last to follow.

After entering the well, Alvina Ava climbed down for eighteen steps before stopping and reaching the other side of the wall with her arms outstretched.

A few seconds later, the rattling of the mechanism sounded, and Cynthia came down as well, and when she heard the sound, she sensed a portable fire source similar to a fire fold, illuminating the otherwise dark well.

The faint light of the fire, illuminating the other side of the well wall, has been opened by a hole almost a person high.

With a slight jump, Alvina Ava was in the secret passage, and the Barbarossa she possessed was still underage, so she didn't need to worry about anything like bumping into each other.

After Alvina Ava took a few steps into the passage, Cynthia jumped into the passage, followed by Sakaradin, who was too tall and had to bend her back, and finally Rovi.

After Lowe entered the secret passage, Alvina Ava instructed Rowe to find the mechanism that closed the secret door.

After walking forward in the secret passage for about twenty minutes, the secret passage finally came to its final end.

At the exit of the secret passage was a kitchen fireplace, which seemed to be used a lot, so when Rowe went out of the fireplace, he accidentally got black soot.

"This is the Earl of Bridgeman's family, the most remote of the five estates outside the city, so it was chosen as the gateway to the tunnel. ”

Alvina Ava introduced in passing.

"Shhhhh ”

The female Assassin Cynthia swooped out her poisonous fist and moved to the kitchen door like a ghost.

Sacraadin also showed off his weapon, a two-handed heavy sword that he had gotten out of nowhere.

Rowe took a step forward, ready to cast a spell at any time, only Alvina Ava did not move forward, but moved silently behind Rovi.

Under the gaze of everyone, Cynthia carefully put her hand on the hidden kitchen door-

Secant -
