The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 21 The Bell Ringer of Windsor
"A mage full of burdens. His horse is tied with a lot of luggage. Even the horse's flanks are full of bags. It's completely using the horse as a mule! I can't believe it!"

Little Sasha said excitedly, that expression was completely describing a father-killing enemy.

Ickert quickly held down the excited Sasha, and poured her a glass of water from the kettle, hoping that she would calm down.

However, he couldn't hide his curiosity. The territory was right in front of him, and the more he needed to know, the better.

"What about that man? What does he look like?"

Ickert asked curiously, Little Sasha tried to recall for a while after hearing this, but finally shook her head.

"Thinking about it now, I can't remember what he looks like at all. His hood seems to be full of fog, and what people see is not his real appearance."

In the eyes of everyone in the territory, this is an ordinary mage with nothing special about his appearance.

However, his words seemed to have some magical power. Sasha's father had a good impression of him from the beginning, and he had a good conversation with him later.

The two talked about everything from how to govern the territory to how to raise their offspring, so that in the end Sasha was almost married off!

God!She was 11 years old then!
The ghost knows what nonsense his father heard. Anyway, Sasha was very angry when she found out about this, and she didn't say a word to him for several days.

When Sasha said this, she thought of something again, and said immediately:

"That's right! Teacher! That guy also has a bell, which he always hangs around his waist! He never leaves his body!"

"A bell?"

"Yes, it's the bell! He always rang it several times at night, and it was the same one he used when he was sent by his father to investigate later!"

Apart from treating his own bottles and jars as treasures, the mage couldn't leave the bell. Once, the maid confused it with the bell in the castle and took it away, but then the mage quickly stopped. Then came, and killed the maid.

Unexpectedly, Sasha's father did not choose to pursue it, and even quarreled with his wife afterwards. Sasha said that his mother scolded him as a different person.

At this moment, the mage realized that his arrival had brought trouble to the castle, so he offered to solve the problem as soon as possible. Sasha's father agreed to him, and this strange incident finally ushered in the dawn.

The mage came to the house of the dead villager, where the person who had recovered from the dead was locked up, but after opening the door, the mage found two figures inside.

"That's his wife. When she saw him revived, she jumped on her happily. She didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Unlike the disgust of the knights, the mage was excited when he saw this scene.

He immediately asked the knights to handcuff the undead so that they could be taken back to the basement of the castle for study, and threatened to kill them if they didn't do so, as if they were crazy.

Due to the close relationship between the mage and the lord, the knights had no choice but to do so. They first tied up the two undead with ropes, and suppressing their nausea, they took them to the dungeon to be handcuffed.

The mage immediately announced that he should not be disturbed unless necessary, and then he took his backpack and locked the cell door, not even coming up for food and water.

Half a month has passed since this level. Sasha even thought that the mage had left, and the relationship between father and mother had been restored. Only the territory was still under new attacks, but this had no effect on the people in the castle.

It was at this time that the mage came out of the dungeon, announcing that he had found a solution.

When the curious knight commander wanted to see his "research results", he found that the number of undead in the dungeon had increased to three, and there was an extra baby.
And the mother's belly, as he expected, was in a state of bursting, and the walls were full of filth.

"vomit."

Not only the knight commander, but everyone who heard about it vomited it out, and Sasha was no exception. Afterwards, some knights said that the mage had also done things with the undead.
When the mage himself came out, he was also covered in feces and fart, and he carried an indescribable smell of corpses with him.

But in order to solve the problem, everyone held back, and the man really proved his ability. The mage first threw the baby necromancer into the deep pit, and then rang the bell at midnight, and the attack never happened again.

Afterwards, the mage stayed in the territory for ten more days, and didn't leave until he confirmed that the matter was really resolved. Sasha's father paid him enough remuneration, and he was quite reluctant to part with him as a young man before leaving.

It all seems to be over, the territory is back to normal, and life is about to return to that endless loop.

The knights dragged the two undead out of the dungeon, and were about to burn them and finish the matter, but the lord told them to stop, saying that the mage had told him not to do that before he left.

The knights were a little discouraged, but they had to give up in order not to die.

But the territory was still devastated
At night, the bell rang.

The first to die were the villagers outside the castle. When Sasha escaped from the castle with her sister, she tried to ask the villagers for help, but only found bloodstains all over the ground in the empty house.

But on the night when the incident happened, the gate of the castle was opened for some reason. Sasha didn't know who did it, only that countless undead filled the living room and kitchen, killing everyone
The father finally locked her and her sister into the dungeon. At that time, he was in great pain, and Sasha was terrified by his ferocious face.

Afterwards, the mother rushed to the dungeon, but there was the sound of a sword coming out of its sheath and a head falling to the ground.
Not far away, the knights followed closely, and the sound of interlacing swords sounded. Sasha knew that a fierce battle broke out outside the door, but it was not between humans and the dead.

"At that time, Uncle Zawani was still shouting 'My lord'! But there was no response, and then it seemed that something heavy fell to the ground, just like when my mother died."

Terrible memories flooded my mind, and little Sasha was already crying.

"My sister and I hid in the dungeon. Father's shadow came in through the moonlight. He was taller than ever, but it was even weirder. Those eyes were watching us from the crack of the door."

Little Sasha said that she couldn't bear it anymore, threw herself into Ickert's arms and began to cry bitterly.

Ickert stroked little Sasha's blond hair, and he was also shocked by the strangeness of the Windsor collar. If it is true, then he may need to solve some small troubles before he can settle in the castle.
