Chapter 10 The Necromancer's Legacy

The night is dark and windy.

On a cobblestone road, hired knights patrolled on horseback, holding torches.

The firelight illuminated the knight's young face, which was full of fatigue. In the deserted wilderness, he complained to the lord:

"They said they had to get rid of the Demon Flame Sheep. We've been guarding for a few days, but we haven't even seen a shadow of it."

"So what if there's a forest fire? It's his property anyway, and the tax has nothing to do with my copper coin..."

At this moment, a spark suddenly appeared in the wilderness, and the fire spread rapidly, forming a big fire in a blink of an eye.

The knight was stunned on the spot, sweating profusely, and muttered:

"Oh my Holy Light, I was just speaking casually. This fire has nothing to do with me!"

The knight looked into the distance and witnessed the battle between the Flame Sheep and the Withered Vine Monster.

He immediately realized that the source of the fire was the target he was hunting, the Demon Flame Sheep!

The Demon Flame Sheep had been hiding in the territory for many days and was extremely hungry tonight, so it caused the fire while hunting the Withered Vine Monster.

However, the Demon Flame Sheep was a high-level magical beast, and the knight did not have the confidence to hunt it alone, so he prepared to turn back and ask for support from his companions.

At this moment, a snow-white warhorse came into view. It pulled a black carriage and rushed towards the battlefield resolutely!
"Where did Roland's horse come from?" the knight was stunned.

A Roland warhorse is the dream mount of countless knights.

Although his mount was also a good horse, it could not compare with Roland's warhorse!

There seemed to be a team of adventurers on the carriage. When the old man driving the carriage arrived at the battlefield, he untied the ropes of the carriage, drew out his one-handed sword, and jumped onto the snow-white warhorse.

He rode his horse towards the Demon Flame Sheep, and when facing three flaming missiles spit out by the Demon Flame Sheep, he suddenly changed his trajectory, causing the three missiles to miss the target.

At the same time, a girl in leather armor got off the carriage at the back. Her throwing skills were extremely superb. The spear she threw poked a bloody hole in the body of the Demon Flame Sheep, which was then burned to ashes by the demon flames.

The Demon Flame Sheep let out an angry roar, first spit out a fireball to completely kill the struggling vine monster, and then ran towards the carriage!

call!
When the Demon Flame Sheep charged, the scorching wind cut a path of fire across the wilderness.

The knight looked solemn, but saw a white owl flying out of the carriage, blowing out a biting cold wind, which curbed the momentum of the Demon Flame Sheep!

"A pet?"

The Knight could not hide his shock.

"In addition to Roland's warhorse, this team actually has a magical pet!"

the other side.

Yeats has left the carriage and arrived at the battlefield in person.

Seeing the Snowy Owl's contribution, Ye Zhi praised: "Well done!"

"Gu!" The Snowy Owl narrowed its eyes happily, and then was blown to dust by a cluster of flame missiles.

The fire resistance provided by "Snow Rabbit Soup" made the attack of the Demonic Flame Sheep ineffective, and instead aroused the fighting spirit of the Snow Owl.

The Snow Owl was furious, and the frosty wind it blew out collided with the magic flame of the Magic Flame Sheep, causing a hissing sound and mist rising.

boom!
Phocas rode Radish and attacked back from the flank.

The snow-white warhorse collided with the Demon Flame Sheep. The old man on the seat swung his sword at the same time. His arm broke through the demon flame and cut a bloody mark on the Demon Flame Sheep.

"Huh? This fire doesn't hurt at all when it burns my body!"

Phocas was surprised and had some vague guesses.

Could it be that this is due to the young master's talent for food?

"Ye Zhi, I don't have any weapons." Gray said with a bitter face and spread his hands, "I asked you to buy me new equipment a long time ago. According to the employment law, the equipment of hired guards is provided by the lord!"

"Who said you don't have a weapon?"

Yeats unloaded the heavy iron plate of petrified sheep from the carriage.

"Isn't there a ready-made one?"

Gray looked shocked.

"I know you have maxed out your fire resistance, and so does the petrified sheep iron plate!" Ye Zhi ordered, "Quick, pick up the iron plate and kill it!"

Gray picked up the iron plate with both hands and gritted her teeth: "Now that this high-level monster has been dealt with, remember to get me a decent weapon!"

Yeats: "Next time for sure."

"I'm on it!" the dragon girl shouted, and ran all the way to the front of the Demon Flame Sheep.

Gray jumped up and swung the round iron plate with both hands, smashing it fiercely on the head of the Demon Flame Sheep.

Boom!
The knights who were watching the battle were stunned.

The weapon used by that female adventurer is very unique.

It is both a shield and a blunt weapon, capable of both offense and defense, and is not even afraid of demonic flames!

"What a formidable team," the knight secretly exclaimed, "They look only one level high, but when they work together, they can defeat a high-level one-level Demon Flame Sheep!"

The Demon Flame Sheep was hit in the face by Gray's shield and saw stars, and the tall warhorse knocked it to the ground.

呲!
Fokas's one-handed sword slashed its neck, blood splattered. The demonic flame sheep struggled for a moment, and then became completely motionless.

The Demonic Flame Sheep died, and the Demonic Flame that was burning the forest lost its source and became weak.

Ye Zhi asked Snow Owl to use Frost Wind to put out the remaining flames and reunite with the team members.

"It was a bit tricky, but I finally got it done." Gray wiped the sweat off her face.

Phocas was a knight in his early years, but he was really old. After riding the carrot for a while, he was out of breath and said:

"Master, it didn't hurt at all when I touched the magic flame. You had expected this, so you let me attack you at close range, right?"

"You're quick to react, Phocas." Yeats said with a smile.

"Master..." Fokasi was touched, "Master will definitely be proud of you now!"

Gray was surprised and asked, "What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Ye Zhi coughed dryly.

The Dragonborn's fire resistance is maxed out, so naturally he can't feel the bonus from the Snow Rabbit Soup.

But for Snow Owl and Fokase, this is the key for them to face the Demonic Flame Sheep.

As for me, my fighting ability is still very inferior.

First, focus on training your magical pet, and then find an opportunity to upgrade it...

"The Devil Flame Sheep is full of treasures."

Ye Zhi said: "The sheep's head, mutton, sheepskin and even its organs can all be sold for money. Put it in the carriage first and sell it when we find the traveling caravan."

"And buy me new weapons?" Gray asked expectantly.

"Let's see if we can find a suitable one." Ye Zhi nodded.

"It's a deal!" Gray said happily.

Fukas cut open the Flame Demon Sheep and found a small piece of red crystal. He said in surprise: "Master, there is still a small piece of magic crystal!"

"You're really lucky." Gray was also surprised. "You were able to find a small piece of expensive magic crystals that are only produced by rare ores and powerful magic beasts."

"It means that God thinks our territory is too poor." Ye Zhi looked up at the sky and said, "He couldn't stand it and wants to give us some start-up funds."

Gray patted Ye Zhi on the shoulder and said casually, "Anyway, we made a lot of money this time. Can we have a good meal?"

"Of course." Ye Zhi smiled, "Let's have the Devil Flame Lamb dinner today."

Gray: (╬_)
In the end, it’s still Monster!
Taking inventory of the harvest, I hunted a whole Demon Flame Sheep and a small piece of Demon Crystal.

The petrified sheep iron plate was deformed by the magic flame and was considered scrapped, but Gray picked up a lot of dead branches from the dead branch monsters, which made good firewood.

Plant dead branches in the territory, and new dead branch monsters will grow after a day or two. Then kill the new dead branch monsters.

After a few rounds of brushing, you don't need to use precious wood for heating, you can use dead branches instead...

As Ye Zhi was counting, a knight holding a torch came from a distance and claimed to be a knight under the command of the local lord.

"The lord is already troubled by the Demon Flame Sheep. I am very grateful for your help in hunting!" said the young knight.

"Hey, you don't want to take our spoils back, do you?"

Gray said vigilantly: "According to the laws of the kingdom, we hunt monsters to solve the disaster for the local area. This monster should belong to us!"

The knight was a little surprised and nodded, "You are right. I will report this to the lord. I came here to invite you to visit the lord's house. I believe he will be happy to make friends with you."

"No need." Ye Zhi said, "We are passing through your place this time to go to Morning Frost Ridge to take up our post. I believe the lord here has already received the letter from the Brondi family."

"Just do as I say and report everything to your lord. He will understand."

The young knight suddenly realized.

It turns out that he is the youngest son of the Brondi family! No wonder he can hunt the Devil Flame Sheep!

The environment of Morning Frost Ridge is dangerous. Although this baron is young, he has to travel so far to take up the post, which really makes the knight respect him.

"In fact, the lord has set a reward specifically for adventurers who hunt the Demon Flame Sheep." The knight said, "I think the lord will send someone to deliver the reward to Morning Frost Ridge in a few days."

Ye Zhi nodded and asked, "Are there any traveling caravans passing by or stationed nearby?"

"Yes, I'll mark the location on the map for you..."

After a brief greeting, the knight left and everyone rested on the spot.

The night is dark.

Gray was too tired to talk. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the Snowy Owl scratching something on the ground with its claws.

"Gu!" The Snowy Owl leaned over and pecked out a backpack strap.

Gray exclaimed softly, "Yezhi, the Snowy Owl seems to have found something."

Not far from where the Demon Flame Sheep fell, the skeleton was buried in the soil, the clothes had rotted, and a corner of the backpack was faintly exposed above the ground.

Ye Zhi was stunned, his heart pounding.

Found it, the Necromancer's legacy!
