These words were extremely beautiful, but Uriel didn't believe a word of them.
"You are right, your brother and sister's affairs have nothing to do with me, and I have no control over the lord's children... But what I care about is not the ridiculous tricks among the nobles. Many people died in Yotsuba City , they died because of the killings of the Necromancer, and lost their lives because of your selfishness-" He had to take a breath, "I'm talking about this."
"It's getting more and more outrageous." Gavin looked like he was looking at a madman. "What happened to Yotsuba City again? What could happen? The employees at the detection station are all blind. Do you mean this?"
Danelfion was facing the ice wall. She took a step back as if afraid of the cold, and distanced herself from Gavin and Uriel.
"Why should I do this?"
Uriel replied: "I don't know. You have to ask yourself, the Four-leaf Territory is the territory of the Wiggins family, why don't you cherish it?"
"In fact, your speculation is nothing but narrow self-conception."
Gavin was already furious.
"I have evidence, Mr. Gavin. The steward has told me everything. After meeting the Necromancer, he went directly to you, right? You asked the undead soldiers to kill Daner while you were exploring. Finn, but Shuno told you that there was trouble in Yotsuba Castle."
The daughter of the Southern Kingdom was startled. "Uncle Xiu Nuo?"
"That's nonsense. Your evidence is unconvincing. Is it my responsibility that Chief Shunuo colluded with the Necromancer?"
"Of course this is your responsibility. Because it is not Xiu Nuo who colluded with the Necromancer, but yourself, Mr. Gavin, and Chief Xiu Nuo is under your orders."
"This is impossible." Danlfien retorted, "Uncle Xiu Nuo is the manager of Frostleaf Castle. My mother announced it in front of everyone before leaving."
"Perhaps the steward was coerced. He knew about the extramarital affair of Shono Wiggins, no, Shono Gale." Uriel pointed out. The apprentice still remembered that the other party asked him to go downstairs to find the steward who was hanging out with his mistress. At that time, Gavin must have made a plan to let himself and the steward be killed by the undead.
If Uriel hadn't made a big noise in the study on the fourth floor, the Necromancer might have been waiting on the first floor of the castle to harvest the lives of him and General Shuno.
That may be the scene in the first future fantasy: I am wandering aimlessly in the castle, Xiu Nuo is killed by the Necromancer on the first floor; then the latter will go to the fourth floor to find the Scroll of Oath - at this time the apprentice It has been understood that it was not Gavin and Dandelphin who discovered the clues left by the Necromancer, but Gavin used these clues to lure the Necromancer into an agreement - and happened to run into the Druid, who escaped from the skylight during the fight. Fell into the hall.
But Gavin must not have expected that when he abandoned Xiu Nuo, the Necromancer had no intention of abiding by the agreement.
Only then did the scene of the undead chasing after people in the corridor on the third floor begin.
It was also from that time that Gavin Wiggins, who noticed the abnormality, decided to hide in Tracy's room to avoid the eyes and ears of the Necromancer.
…
The snowy wind outside the ice curtain stopped slightly, but the sound of rocks bouncing could still be heard. Newell's magic power is still growing rapidly, but every attack is in vain; Joey feels a little embarrassed, this is not the first floor - if another "Pale Prison" is directly thrown out like the hall, I'm afraid that Uriel, Danlfien and others will also be buried in the ruins.
Of course, even in close combat, the Corrupted Death Apostle cannot survive a few moves in the hands of young people. Every time Newell thought he had found a slight flaw, Joey would cut off the bone spear or make a wound with a slow backhand sword.
Without the continuous support of magic power, the Necromancer might have died dozens of times.
But the realm is still rising, and the path of death is almost coming to an end. The priest tried some new magic, and the effect was really satisfying to the believer in death.
He raised his arm and waved his pointed bone claws. The gray-black air flow rippled and suddenly disappeared into the air.
Joey stabbed with his sword, and under the influence of magic, it hit the air.
This is the dark magic "Dark Ripple", which can distort light in a small range and add visual dislocation to the enemy, and it is very difficult to detect.
However, before Newell had time to be happy, he saw the young man holding a short blade out of thin air in his free left hand; the cold blade lightly slashed behind him, and a wisp of gray-black smoke was frozen in the ice and snow. In the middle, he was immediately cut into two pieces with a sword.
After the freezing effect is applied, even intangible magic can be broken... and it is said to be difficult to detect?
The Necromancer who witnessed this scene couldn't express his sorrow. The magic he had finally gathered was a normal thing in the eyes of Kongjing. I'm afraid it wasn't even mysterious.
Now Newell is only relying on necromancy magic to barely support him.
As time goes by, the Necromancer's advantages gradually disappear. Joey began to hit him with sword after sword, but Newell could only deal with it. If he wanted to do something wrong or show his intention to retreat, the young man would definitely predict his next move and change his attacks smoothly.
People who don't know may think that the Necromancer is here to be a sparring partner. It's really rare to see sandbags in Gaohuan.
Kakaka——
When the spear came, Joey turned his wrist slightly to one side, and the blade of the sword slashed backwards along the smooth bone. The ice sword was as strong as steel, and even sparked sparks. The priest hurriedly withdrew the bone claw; the messenger did not dodge, and took advantage of the situation to cut off the bone claw at the root. At the same time, the body floated upward as if it had lost weight - at this time, New York Only then did Earl remember that Sky Realm could fly.
Joey threw the ice sword away.
Weapons are condensed by magic power, and there is no such thing as using them. The half-hand sword in his hand is a knight's long sword when extended, and half-arm short sword when shortened. Often, as long as the blades touch each other, the enemy will suffer a few blows.
"...!!"
The necromancer watched him cross an incredible half-arc in the air, and reached down a hand to grab his shoulder halfway; then a huge force offset the gravity of the body, and the gravel flying caused by the bone spurs' instinctive grip was flying. Get up!
The flight in the Sky Realm is not about controlling airflow or canceling gravity, but a state of suspension. Under normal circumstances, Joey will use magic power to propel himself, but during battle, he will have a faster method.
A piece of thin ice appeared under Joey's feet. He stepped on it and made an astonishing turn in mid-air -
With a bang, the Necromancer was smashed directly into the floor.
The young man then stepped on his chest, Newell tried his best to swing the bone spear, and the death rays flew all over the sky; but his struggling counterattack only played a provocative role, and the effect was great.
Joey's face was expressionless and he stepped hard. The board crackled and shattered, and the Necromancer sank a little further. This blow broke at least two of his ribs.
"Fir Forest"!
Ice spikes burst out of the ground, like giant straight and tall trees. The branches are curved and sharp, and the tail points diagonally upward, instantly turning the necromancer into a transparent honeycomb from the front and back.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
But Joey didn't let his guard down. He knew that necromancers were different from normal mystics. These people often showed their power after returning to the embrace of Suvillier and standing up as her true people. Of course, they were no longer themselves at that time, but the undead would only become more indifferent to life.
This is where Gavash's confidence lies against Knox. They have a second chance to enter the battlefield.
Joey drew out his sword and was about to cut off Newell's limbs in advance.
"You know there is a kind of people in the world... They are the descendants of the devil... Such people will not be trapped in the mysterious class..."
But surprisingly, the Necromancer was still breathing.
Joey's pupils suddenly tightened——
Newell held the ice sword, white frost spreading on his arms. There were flames dancing in his eyes. It was a soul that was washed away by magic power and was gradually growing stronger by devouring the weak remaining souls.
The young man stepped back unconsciously, and his voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep: "...the nameless one."
The room trembled, and the ground collapsed.
…
If it weren't for the many fragmentary clues provided by prophecy magic, Uriel felt that he would never be able to find the truth of the matter.
And Gavin reacted as expected. He sneered: "Mr. Steward's bad things are just related to women, and I have no interest in them. What does this mean?"
The ice curtain creaked, and Sauron spoke:
"Of course people are used to it if nobles play tricks on each other, but Chief Shuno is not from a noble background: he married the daughter of the Yotsuba family and changed his surname in exchange for status and power. So if the matter is exposed, he will be finished - Lady Tracy will never tolerate a man who abandons his sisters, just like she sought justice for Queen Flavia.』
Queen Flavia?
Uriel didn't know what this had to do with Her Majesty the Queen. He just agreed with the ring to get the cause and effect of the matter from the Wiggins brothers and sisters. But Sauron's revelation shocked him, and he immediately shut up and gave the stage to this "well-informed" rune being.
Soren Gessen stopped for a moment, looking at the surprised expressions of Danlfion and Uriel and Gavin's frown, it felt a sense of pleasure. And when the Rune Ring made the secret history of the kingdom public, it inevitably added fuel to the fire:
"Queen Flavia married the late King Watson II when she was fifteen years old. This was forty years ago; but it was in the same year that our Majesty Watson II, the king who opened up new territories, She abandoned her love for her children and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the war against the neighboring country Motog, leaving Her Majesty the Queen to guard the royal capital alone.』
"Motog?" Uriel had never heard of this name, and he didn't remember any neighboring countries of the Eastman Kingdom.
“So it’s already part of Eastman, and you wouldn’t know it. It is just outside the Western Territory, close to the Flying Eagle City of the Principality of Messitori. 』
After dismissing his question, Sauron continued to write: "Look, the biggest winner in this war is not the royal family. The resistance of the Western Territory and the Ice Territory, and the defeat of the northern cities... The Four Leaf Territory of the Southern Kingdom did not rebel, but How could Tracy miss this good opportunity to take advantage of the situation? 』
Its wording made Danlfion and Gavin glare.
"In the name of supporting the Talbot royal family and protecting the queen, she led the Shadow Army to intervene in the war, and made the ungrateful Talbot family give up the throne and honor Flavia Wiggins as queen. ——She makes every man who dares to marry a daughter of the Wiggins family know how important it is to love and protect his wife.』
This is really the style of the Duke. The apprentice murmured to himself. He glanced at the descendant of the Lord of the South. Danlfion looked in reverence, obviously approving of his mother's actions; while Gavin was expressionless and didn't think this was anything worth boasting about.
"General Shunuo undoubtedly knows the consequences of cheating on his wife." Uriel brought the topic back on track, "So this secret is extraordinary for him."
"Besides, going out to explore while the guards are busy is not the behavior of well-educated nobles," the apprentice said. "Your tutor should have taught you to obey the rules. The nuns in the convent take you as an example. Thank God, they pay more attention to the piety of faith than etiquette."
The girl interrupted: "If I hadn't reminded Gavin, he would have been killed by the undead soldier! You can't doubt him so much, there's no way he could have done that kind of thing!"
"That's the problem. The plan or agreement between him and the Necromancer definitely does not include a massacre in Yotsuye City."
"Slaughter?" Danlfien shuddered.
"I'm afraid you still don't understand the current situation, Miss. Yotsuba City was almost destroyed. Now there is a palace made of bones, as big as two Gaia churches."
Uriel watched Gavin's face gradually turn pale again, feeling only sad in his heart: "The whole city is full of Suvillier's believers, and the detection station is no exception; they don't care about Frostleaf Castle, precisely because The army of the undead is still busy adding ranks."
Delphine Wiggins' lips trembled, and she could not utter a word. Frostleaf Castle was okay, but the news from Four Leaf Castle was like the sky had fallen to her.
"Don't believe his lies." Her brother stared at the apprentice coldly.
But the daughter of the Southern Kingdom asked: "Gavin, the Necromancer came to Four Leaf City, why didn't the detection station detect it?"
"Maybe he didn't even enter the city and went directly to Frostleaf Castle for the Scroll of Oath."
Uriel immediately interrupted: "I never said that the Necromancer came for the Scroll of Oath."
"...!!"
