I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 43 Return of the Deputy City Lord

This wooden plaque solidifies Anna's evocation sorcery, and can deliver simple messages.

Seeing the flashing wooden sign, Yihua knew that Anna and the others had finished packing up, and was urging him to meet up.

At the same time, there was a burst of noise outside, and it seemed that a large group of people was approaching the City Lord's Mansion.

It's too late to change. Yihua knew that the deputy city lord of Joel City was an earth knight.

Although he is not in the city now, after receiving the news that the City Lord's Mansion has been attacked, he may rush back to intercept everyone at any time.

Yihua knows that time is life, no matter how good a treasure is, it must be enjoyed with life.

He picked up the Wu Jing in the bag, swept a few small boxes into his pocket, and then rushed towards the agreed place.
-
Turn back the time a little, to the edge of Fangorn Forest.

"Get out of the way!"

A middle-aged big knight shouted at the young knight not far away.

At this time, the young knight hadn't reacted yet, a huge second-class ferocious beast—the Hell Buffalo rammed towards the young knight like a shooting star with unparalleled strength.

Just at the critical moment, a white-haired old knight with golden yellow armor and two meters tall with muscular muscles rushed out.

He stretched out his strong hands, and at a speed that didn't match his age, he grabbed the horns of the hell bull in an instant.

boom!
The hell bull pushed the old knight forward.

The giant-like figure of the golden-armored old knight did not deform at all, but with the impact, his feet drew a ravine extending more than ten meters from the ground.

In the end, the power of the Hell Bull's charge was exhausted, and before it could break free, the old knight slammed his fist at the Hell Bull's head.

Click!
With just one punch, the head of the Hell Buffalo split open, and red and white blood mixed with brains flowed out.

The huge hell bull's body seemed to have been pulled out of its soul, and it collapsed to the ground and lost its vitality.

More than ten meters away, the only remaining hell bull on the field saw this and hurriedly left the battle, trying to escape back to Fangorn Forest.

"Where to escape!"

The muscular old knight in golden armor snorted coldly, took a step forward, and swung the huge sword in his hand at the hell bull.

With the swing of the giant sword, a nearly two-meter-long golden crescent moon condensed into shape, and instantly appeared in front of the Hell Bull over a distance of more than ten meters.

Without stopping for a moment, the golden crescent moon passed directly through the head of the Hell Bull. The Hell Bull, who was running, suddenly lost its look in his eyes, and fell to his knees after running a few meters along the inertia.

After a few seconds, blood gushed out from the neck of the hell bull kneeling on the ground, and the bull's head on it slipped to the ground.

A series of operations took only an instant, and the young knight who reacted realized that he had wandered around the gate of hell, collapsed on the ground, and gasped for breath.

At the end of the battle, dozens of knights around and several big knights cheered loudly when they saw the bravery of the old knight.

Before the crowd could celebrate for a long time, a guard on a horse in the distance ran towards the crowd, with a flustered expression, and said from a distance:

"Master Deputy City Lord, the City Lord's Mansion has been attacked! Please return to the city quickly!"
-
"Are you really going to stop us from leaving?"

Not long after leaving Yole City, Yi Hua walked out of the carriage loaded with thousands of scrolls and said coldly.

He looked over the dozens of formal knights around him, staring at the golden armored old knight standing in the front, exuding a majestic life energy that did not match his age.

"Report to the deputy city lord, the guards found the headless body of Master Joseph from the living room of the city lord's mansion!"

The old knight in golden armor, who is the deputy city lord of Joel City, looked cold, and persuaded Yihua and the others to surrender:
"You dare to kill the city lord—the only son of the third-class wizard, and you will catch him quickly, and wait for the city lord to deal with him!"

After all, the golden-armored old knight in front of him took a step forward and pulled out the saber from his waist. It seemed that if Yihua and the others refused, he would forcefully arrest a few people.

Yi Hua didn't panic as the other party expected. Yi Hua had expected this situation before.

He greeted Anna behind him:

"Anna, where are your credentials? Show them."

Anna handed Yihua a silver token engraved with the pattern of a carrier pigeon, and after receiving it, Yihua casually threw it to the deputy city lord of Joel City.

"You should recognize this token, right?"

"This is--"

The golden-armored old knight took the token, felt the power fluctuations contained in it, and an unconcealable shock appeared on his face.

As an earth knight, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and a look of fear flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Seeing that the old knight was a little uncertain, Yi Hua immediately added while the iron was hot:

"That's right, this is the symbol of Lord Rudolph Astarte, the 'messenger' Lord Rudolf Astarte, the fifth-class instructor of the Nine-Ring White Tower Academy. Our trip is based on the order of the fifth-class instructor to come to Yole City to purchase sheepskin scrolls."

Similar to the noble coat of arms, every fifth-level mentor in the academy has a corresponding wizard coat of arms.

But unlike the former, the wizard's coat of arms has a mystical effect and can be used as a medium to communicate with the wizard corresponding to the logo.

Anna, who has already been promoted to the second class and possesses third-class qualifications, as the favored disciple of the fifth-class tutor messenger Rudolph, naturally has a token with a coat of arms engraved on it given by the tutor.

On the one hand, it can play the role of connecting with the tutor.

On the other hand, when traveling in the mortal country of the Star Tree Islands, it can also be used as a reliance for traveling around.

After all, the coats of arms and names of the seven fifth-class wizards are known to almost everyone among the high-level mortal kingdoms on the Star Tree Islands.

Yihua's mentor, "Dead Crow" Simon naturally has a corresponding symbol, but it was only given to Rey, not to Yihua, who is of low qualifications.

"Then why did you kill Joseph?"

The deputy city lord's attitude softened a little, and asked Yihua with an uncertain expression.

The moment he saw the token of the fifth-class tutor, he had already believed it seven to eighty-eight, after all, the power contained in it could not be forged.

Yihua was eager to gain wisdom, and said the half-truths and half-false words that had been edited in advance:

"In order not to attract attention, we didn't reveal our identities beforehand. I didn't expect that Joseph would dare to deceive us with a moldy scroll."

After saying a word, Yi Hua paused for a while, and continued:
"We went to Joseph later and wanted him to make up for our loss, but Joseph refused to admit it, and even dared to belittle and insult Rudolph mentor! We had no choice but to do so."

Now that Joseph is dead, and the guards present have already been silenced, so Yi Hua can definitely answer in a direction that is beneficial to him.

Moreover, when Joseph gave the order to deceive them, there would naturally be those who would carry out the order.

If it is as expected by Yihua, the deputy city lord should be able to understand what Yihua said is true after a little investigation, and Joseph has indeed issued such an order.

A complete lie cannot withstand scrutiny, and only half-truths are more deceptive.

After listening to Yi Hua's explanation, the deputy city lord was silent for a long time and began to make quick calculations.
