The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 22 Once
In 853 Imperial Calendar, that is, three years ago, Windsor Territory was destroyed at that time, but Eckert recalled one thing, which also happened in 853 Imperial Calendar.

It was early summer when Windsor was killed, and in that summer, an unusual murder happened at the Royal Summoner Academy.

Ashamed to say, Ickert liked a senior at that time. He had forgotten the name of the senior, but he still remembered that unforgettable face.

At that time, he didn't know what went crazy, but he abandoned the dogma of the previous life, fell in love with each other like a licking dog, and ended up like many licking dogs, he was severely hurt!

That night, he saw his senior sister walking into the grove with her arms around a professor's neck. Like a girl.

It's strange to think about it afterwards, Ickert really can't figure out how he liked the other party so much at the time, as if he was about to fall at the first glance, and he would be so excited after just a few words.

Looking back now, it is still a question of whether there is such a senior in the academy. Her appearance is like a mist, always showing what people expect most in their hearts.

On the second day of Ickert's "broken love", the professor was "corrupted".

That was the first recorded case of corruption in the entire continent. The professor turned into an indescribable monster in the grove, surrounded by the corpses of students
Fortunately, the teachers in the Summoner Academy were strong enough, and several high-ranking mages directly burned it and the grove to ashes. After that, the grove became a small wasteland without even weeds growing.

At that time, Eckert felt sorry for a beautiful woman who had passed away, but he didn't expect to be caught by him now with some clues.

Looking at the experience Sasha narrated, Ickert's attention has always been firmly locked on the mage, it seems that he brought the undead and brought corruption.

Especially the description of its ringing bell. When solving the incident, the bell seems to drive away the dead, but when the castle is attacked, it seems that the bell attracts the dead.

"Sasha, is there any characteristic of the ringtone? Or, is there any sign when the undead strike?"

Ickert asked quickly, this is very important to him and everyone who is about to go to Windsor Territory.

Little Sasha understood the seriousness of the matter, and recalled the situation that night very cooperatively.

"Let me think about it. I did hear the bell that night. The sound itself is not special, but the number of rings is about thirteen."

"Thirteen strokes? Are you sure it's thirteen strokes?"

"I'm not sure. I was woken up by the bell that night. You know, when I hear the bell, I think of that disgusting mage. The bell may be fourteen, it may be more, or it may be more than thirteen." few"

Little Sasha's reply made Ickert scratch his head for a while, but if calculated by thirteen ringing bells, this number coincides with the bells of the Skaven City.
Thirteen, I really don't know what magic power this number has, so that it frequently appears in various glorious or weird legends.

"Teacher, Windsor is really too dangerous! Let's give up if our father is dead! As long as we explain the reason to the Emperor, he will definitely forgive us!"

Even though she mustered up the courage to face the nightmare, little Sasha still feels that there is no hope of solving the problem. If the crisis repeats after the teacher settles in Windsor.
Then she might as well just commit suicide!

To be honest, what little Sasha said is not unreasonable, and Ickert also agrees, but what he agrees with is that it may be difficult for him to solve the territorial crisis.

As for explaining the reason, the emperor forgives the nobles who abandoned the land conferred by the empire without authorization, not to mention beheading to show the public, just to imitate others!At least one hundred years in prison!Toil to death!
explain?Who will listen to your explanation?Inquisition?

It is impossible to retreat without a fight, and if you commit a crime, your family will be affected, and you will be reborn as a human being. How could Ickert have no affection for his family in another world.

And I am a time traveler, how could I be scared away so easily!
"Sasha, you must know that it is impossible for me to leave Windsor. I am the lord here now. I will either be killed here! Or I will stand firmly on this land!"

Since Eckert has chosen this path and this territory, he is determined to defend her to the end!
Haha, it made his blood boil!
"Okay, teacher, but the day after tomorrow is the day when the territory will be shattered, so let's slow down the schedule anyway! If the undead appear again this year, we may just"

Little Sasha worried, she didn't want to see anyone leave her again.

"Of course, it's not a bad thing to observe for a day."

Despite his determination to stick to the territory, Ickert still suppressed the blood that gradually surged up.

calm!The more you do it beforehand, the more calm you will be!Don't rush!Can't be dead!

Under the influence of psychological hints, Ickert gradually calmed down his restless heart, but Ickert, who regained his composure, discovered a blind spot in the story.

"By the way, Sasha, you said that you and your sister were locked in the dungeon, but how did you escape? Why didn't you receive assistance from the empire afterwards?"

Ickert is a little strange. Regardless of how the two little girls escaped from the dungeon, it is common sense that after the frontline nobles die in battle, their children enjoy the basic protection of the empire. How could they be reduced to being "city rats"? Woolen cloth?

"It's like this, teacher. At first, my sister and I were terrified in the dungeon. The two undead were locked in a cage not far away. I...I managed to stand up, but I still didn't dare to take my sister out. Walk
But the next morning, I found a faint place in the dungeon where light was seeping through, and after finally touching it, I found a secret passage, so I escaped with my sister."

If it wasn't for her sister, Sasha wouldn't have had that kind of courage at all. Two rotten undead were staring at her all the time, and their bony hands kept shaking the iron railing.

"We walked for a long time before we arrived at Donali. People thought we were liars, and we didn't have any tokens on us. Later, we were dragged by a bald man to become 'market rats'."

"The bald man? Is it Chadwang?"

Ickert frowned, never expecting that bald gay guy to have such a side.

"Yes teacher, that's him, Chadwang can't be said to be good or bad, but he did save our lives.

Later, people from the Inquisition came to look for us, and I never dared to reveal my identity again. "

Even a three-year-old child knows that it is no good to have anything to do with the Inquisition Court, and Ickert also admired little Sasha's wit.

Judging from the situation at the time, there is a high probability that the court came to thoroughly "investigate" corruption. If little Sasha's identity is revealed, the outcome will be hard to say.
