Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 9 No one really thinks resurrection is difficult, right?
As soon as he entered the tent, Xia Houyan saw five human corpses lying side by side on the ground.

"Master, there are only five corpses here?" He stared at the silent faces of the dead guards, his heart palpitated for no reason, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.

"The corpse tide is extremely dangerous. It's good to be able to get back five corpses." Master Laurie glanced at the corpses on the ground, his expression did not change.

The master turned around and hung the lion lantern in his hand on a high place, allowing the light to illuminate the entire space, then shrugged and continued:
"Zombies have a special hobby for biting human flesh. Few of the humans who have been attacked by the zombie tide can keep their whole corpses like this."

Xia Houyan nodded, feeling a little heavier.

There are only five bodyguards at the moment. Even if they can all be successfully resurrected like Alice, the increase in combat power brought to the team is still a drop in the bucket compared to the terrifying number of zombies.

Xia Houyan did not rush to start experimenting with magic, but squatted down and checked the bodies of the guards.

The first thing that caught his attention was the blood-stained clothes of the guards, and the huge wounds that killed them:
Similar to Alice, these wounds had uneven edges and horrific lengths, but several corpses had wounds in different locations: some on the head, some on the chest, and one body had its belly completely dissected. opened, revealing the blood-red internal organs.

It was already late autumn, the weather was cold, and it was not too long before the time of death, so the bodies of the guards had not completely stiffened.When Xia Houyan pressed the surface of their bodies with his fingers, he could still feel a faint softness—but the temperature felt by his fingertips was icy cold, proving that the breath of life had long since passed away from these bodies.

Xia Houyan didn't pay much attention to the state of the corpse - in fact, he was more concerned about the equipment that these guards wore before.

The five corpses in front of them were dressed in the same clothes—they were wearing ill-fitting leather armor on their upper bodies and plain cotton pants on their lower bodies: compared to Captain Alice’s chain armor, the equipment of these ordinary guards looked much cheaper. .

Xia Houyan stretched out his hand and pinched on a piece of leather armor—the surface of the piece of armor was full of scratches, and it was not hard to the touch, so Xia Houyan couldn't help but doubt the level of its craftsmanship, and the leather A's actual protective ability in combat;

He looked left and right, and found that these simple leather armors had iron pieces attached to key parts such as the chest to improve safety; but obviously, the leather armor maker's little thought failed in the end. The guards blocked the gnawing and claws of the zombies.

"These leather armors were temporarily purchased from the market by the guards when the team set off from Eagle's End Fort." Master Laurie explained, "The Empire does not allow us to take any weapons or armor from the original territory."

Xia Houyan nodded, stretched his hand to the waist of the corpse, took off the saber hanging from his belt, and raised it to check:
The saber is not equipped with a scabbard, and the handle is just wrapped with a few circles of cowhide; as for the most critical part of the blade, it seems to be sharply polished, but the metal color of the blade is mottled, and the blade also has fine gaps visible to the naked eye. All this shows that the steel used for casting sabres is really of poor quality.

In a nutshell: an unusable piece of junk.

"The current equipment level of the guards is like this." Master Laurie shrugged behind the lord with a strange tone.

Xia Houyan knew what the master meant inside and outside the words: With this kind of garbage equipment, what would you do if you revive these guards?Can you beat the vicious zombies?

——Lord Lord, you should hurry and run away by yourself!
Xia Houyan ignored the meaning of the master's words.After thinking for a while, he realized that there was nothing to see about the corpse, so he stood up, took two steps back, and took out the "Essentials of Necromancy" from his arms.

Master Laurie glanced at the cover of the book, but didn't read it further, and didn't show any curiosity.

——According to the tradition of the magic world, a magician's book collection is absolutely forbidden for others to touch, and it is determined that other mages will not be allowed to interfere.

Master Laurie was indeed a little curious about this "Essentials of Necromancy", but as the lord's magician companion, the master politely chose to avoid suspicion and did not ask any more questions.

Xia Houyan flipped the "Essentials of Necromancy" to the "Resurrection" chapter, and nodded nervously to Master Laurie.

Master Laurie gave Lord Lord an encouraging look.

Xia Houyan walked to the corpse in the center, took a deep breath, and then read the resurrection spell aloud according to the records in the book.

The vast majority of magic spells are written in complex "Aeolian ancient runes", and recognizing this strange and twisted ancient script is also the first lesson in almost all magicians' learning careers.

Although the grades in the academy were not ideal, the basic skills of reading ancient runes were still difficult for the second-order mage Eliot Igor.Xia Houyan recited the resurrection spell in the book earnestly, and fluently spit out the ancient magic script syllables one after another.

Soon, a magical tide that only a magician could detect appeared in the tent.

Master Laurie stood aside and carefully felt the magic fluctuations in the air: until now, the degree of such fluctuations is still not strong, and it does not exceed the level of magic resonance that can be caused by second-order junior mages.

What about the lord...?The master frowned.

Then, the master saw an unforgettable scene in his life:
When the last syllable of the resurrection spell was uttered by Lord Lord, a huge human-shaped phantom appeared above the corpse without warning!
Master Laurie almost bit his tongue: When casting a spell, a phantom is summoned, which means that the magician is communicating with the god in charge of the corresponding magic attribute. This is an exclusive vision that will only be triggered when trying to cast a master-level magic above the seventh rank. !
Lord Lord is indeed trying to cast the master-level magic "Resurrection"!
The master stared at the Lord in a stunned manner, not even noticing that the image of the phantom in the air was not the black-robed Death God corresponding to the ghostly magic power, but a strange figure with a tall stature and a slightly bloated belly!

Master Laurie neglected to see it for a while, but Xia Houyan, who had been prepared for a long time, could see it clearly!

That phantom's mother is the king of hell!
There can be no second god in the world, wearing a wide-sleeved black robe, wearing an ebony crown, and a gloomy and serious oriental face with an expression of disrespect!

Your old man... why did you cross over with me?

——Xiahou Yan stared at the virtual shadow of the King of Hell in the air, but he didn't dare to ask.

The image of Hades was only fleeting, and soon, the magic fluctuations in the tent completely subsided, and everything returned to calm.

Xia Houyan and Master Laurie were in a good mood, and they turned their heads and stared at the corpse in the center of the tent.

The bodyguard, who unfortunately died in the corpse tide and whose remains were half-rigid, just like this, under the joint watch of the Igor family patriarch and the chief mage, the wound on his chest healed quickly, and then the whole person shook from the tarpaulin of the corpse. Sitting up awkwardly...

The guard, who seemed to be only in his 20s, reached out and rubbed his eyes before noticing the two big figures standing in front of him.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion:
"Lord... lord? Master Laurie? Where am I? Where is the corpse tide?"

Xia Houyan swallowed and was about to answer when he felt Master Laurie poking his back.

Then, the lord was terrified to discover that the bodies of the other four guards were sitting up straight from the ground, one after the other...
