miss mist go with the flow

Helen stretched out her hand, and Liv behind her handed over the map. She took out a pen from the sleeve of her long skirt, and drew a circle on the map, "It's probably at this location, and the bearing error is no more than two kilometers."

Black Crow also took out the map to take notes. The maps used on both sides were made by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, and the style was uniform.

"Thank you." Amy thanked, "I wonder what potion ingredients Miss Helen is looking for?"

This is a kind of information exchange. Although it is the first time they meet, Amy admires the young lady of the earl's family.

She looks beautiful, has an elegant figure, and she speaks well. She understands things and communicates well. She is not as domineering as the nobles described in some legendary novels. Such people can try to date and develop a friendship.

Helen sighed, but still answered seriously: "I'm looking for Cangfang Beast and Moonflower."

Amy was surprised, with no expression on her face, she just rolled her eyes slightly and glanced at Sirin.

Both of these materials are related to the "Fountain of Resurrection", and she doesn't believe it is a coincidence.

Sirin returned her gaze and signaled her to wait and see what Helen would do next.

"A naturalist told me that there might be Cangfang Beasts and Moonflowers in the depths of the foggy forest, but when the mercenaries I hired went deep into the forest, they encountered legendary monsters and were driven out." Helen said, "I The power at hand is not enough to compete against the legendary monsters, and there are rumors that there are Cangfang Beasts and Moonflowers in the Badwater Swamp, so I will try my luck."

Amy made eye contact with Sirin again, and it turned out that the team of mercenaries who were scared off by her and Sirin were hired by Miss Helen.

Amy still has another doubt, "Are Cangfang Beast and Moonflower rare?"

"It's all high-level material." Sirin responded, "You don't lack it, maybe because there is an arrangement before amnesia."

After communicating with Amy, Sirin said, "We have made a note. If there is any news about these two materials, we will inform Miss Helen as soon as possible."

Friends also need to be done step by step, and premature venting is not a good thing.

The black crow said: "It's getting dark now, and it's about to fall into the night. Let's leave the swamp as soon as possible, or move to camp outside the swamp."

After nightfall, the poisonous insects and snakes and beasts in the swamp will become more active, and some monsters will also become restless, and the danger will be doubled if they stay overnight.

Black Crow knows that Amy and Sirin are not ordinary people, but she doesn't want to see her beloved Teacher Misty get hurt.

Amy pointed to the circle on the map, "This place is on the way back to the edge of the swamp, shall we take a look there some time?"

"Yeah." Sirin nodded.

"Then let's go together." Helen said, "Liv and I will go back this way too."

Several people formed a team and headed towards the area marked by Helen.

The Timberwolves couldn't carry five people on their backs, but Helen and Liv also had mounts. The countess lightly touched the magic ring on her hand, and a chocobo appeared in the open space.

The body of this chocobo is made of metal, with a blue gem inlaid on the top of its head. It is obviously a combination of magic and machinery. It is also equipped with a saddle rope, and it is easy to carry Helen and Liv.

The walking speed of the mechanical chocobo was far inferior to that of the forest wolf, but it was faster than the skeleton anyway. Amy simply lifted the spell, turning these undead into bones again.

After a short time, the sun set and the sky became dark, and several people also found the traces of the battle that Helen mentioned.

There are some white bones scattered on the mud-soaked ground, which can be seen to be the shape of undead skeletons after they have fallen apart. to residual claw marks.

Sirin stepped forward to check, her fingers shimmered, and black air evaporated from the white skeleton.

"Trich has indeed fought against others here, and the trace of magic power was left not long ago!"

Sirin stretched out her sword finger and drew a few symbols on the ground. A simple tracking magic was formed, and a wisp of black smoke drifted to the northwest.

"He's walking this way!" Sirin turned her head to greet Amy, "Follow him!"

Black Crow looked at Helen, who frowned slightly, but did not hesitate too long, "We are also here to help."

Volume 27: Chapter [-] A Collection of Clues

For professionals like Sirin who have participated in expeditions to the abyss, tracking spells are a must.

The magic traces left by the previous bones were too weak to be traced. This battlefield was recently created. Following the traces of the remaining magic power, we will definitely be able to catch that necromancer!

Sirin tracked all the way, and reset the spell several times during the period. After more than an hour, the green in the surrounding environment gradually became thicker, and she even passed through the Badwater Swamp and came to the area of ​​the Misty Forest.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the low bushes had turned into bushes. Sirin frowned. What the hell was that necromancer doing? How could he run so well?

The doubts in her heart have not been resolved, but as the Timberwolves crossed the slope ahead, she was even more surprised by what she saw.

Among the weeds and trees there were several broken bones, and the turf on the ground was torn up, leaving several burns.

Following the location indicated by the spell, a man in black robes fell on the stone, his face up to the sky, his eyes were bulging, his neck was bent at [-] degrees, and he was completely dead without careful inspection.

"Whoosh..."

Helen, who was riding the mechanical chocobo, panted heavily. After the Timberwolves accelerated, she and Liv had a hard time chasing them. If Bobby hadn't been using the wind direction to guide her, she would probably get lost.

Sirin rolled over the back of the wolf, and the black crow followed her to examine the black-robed corpse.

"That's right, this is Trich!" The black crow reached out and touched the cheek of the corpse, and after confirming that it wasn't disguised, he came to a bad conclusion.

Ami frowned, feeling uneasy in her heart, could there be another accident, right?

Sirin lifted the black robe and continued to check, "Someone broke his neck, and the attack came very suddenly. At that time, there was no time for the undead guards to fight back, and he died instantly. This was either a surprise attack by an acquaintance, or killing him People are far stronger than him, and he can't fight back."

"This is very abnormal. Judging from the previous two battlefields, even if Trichy's opponent can beat him by a small margin, he won't be able to instantly kill him. There may be new forces involved."

Liv helped Helen get off the mount, and said upon seeing this: "This necromancer is dead, so Miss Amy's mission is complete, right? Let's hurry up and go back to the town to camp—"

"It's not that simple." Sirin said, "We are looking for Trich because he stole something from us. His life or death is not important, and our main purpose is to recover that thing."

Sirin found a cloth bag under the black robe. After opening it, she saw a pitch-black hand bone. Judging from the shape, it should be a human bone, and it seemed to contain extremely hidden magic power.

Other than that, the man in black had no other packages on his body.

"His staff was broken." Black Crow found a long staff that had been broken into several sections behind the stone, and there was an ordinary hand bone beside the staff.

Sirin pulled up Trich's right sleeve, and the necromancer's right hand was broken at the wrist, but the wound had already been scarred, an old wound from a long time ago.

Sirin thought of a possibility that these two hand bones were spare limbs prepared by Trich.

"There's something else here."

Holding the lantern, the black crow collected some fragments of black spar from the broken staff, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and sent them to Sirin.

She could see that Sirin was a master at tracking traces.

Sirin twisted the black crystal crumbs, and her brain was running fast. After a few breaths, she moved the crumbs and roughly pieced together the shape of the ring.

This is Trich's storage ring, which was also destroyed!

Bone hands, broken staffs, broken storage rings...

What is certain is that the person who killed Trich did not want to kill people to seize treasures, otherwise there is no need to smash the storage ring.

A mage's belongings are generally stored in a storage ring. If the ring is broken, the items stored in it will either be destroyed or flow into a different space, and it is difficult to recover.

Seeking revenge?If it is really seeking revenge, Trich's death may be even more tragic.

The necromancer's enemies would not treat his corpse kindly, and it would be unreasonable not to destroy the corpse to vent their anger.

Sirin was still thinking, but Amy's eyes were attracted by the black hand bones.

She felt that this thing looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, so she took it over.

The moment she touched the hand bone, Ami's thinking was in a trance for a while, and an illusion appeared in front of her eyes.

In the grand palace, human-shaped skeletons are dressed in fancy clothes, wearing a crown, holding a scepter, standing on the high steps, looking into the distance with eyes burning with soul flames...

The illusion faded away quickly, but the black hand bone of the skeleton in the costume was exactly the one in Amy's hand.

Lord of the Undead?

A title popped up in Amy's mind. The skeleton in the costume seemed to be the legendary Lord of the Undead, who ruled the kingdom of the undead and was an immortal legendary existence.

"Amy, what's wrong with you?"

Sirin's voice woke up Amy from the coma, her eyes were filled with worry, "You were in a very strange state just now, did you remember something?"

Amy looked at Helen and Liv who were not far behind, then glanced at Black Crow, and finally leaned into Sirin's ear, and asked secretly, "Have you ever heard of the Lord of the Undead?"

Sirin's eyes were full of doubts, "What is that?"

Amy thought about the words for a while, and said: "A very powerful undead, who dominates the world after death, is the master of all the hundreds of millions of dead. The undead spells we use now are all based on him."

"So, I seem to have heard similar legends from my teacher, but that was a long time ago, right?" Sirin frowned, "At least there was no Lord of the Undead in the era of the Church of Light, nor did it exist after the new calendar. What undead kingdom."

Amy knocked on her forehead in distress, "You know, my memory is quite unreliable, and I'm not sure if I have misremembered it."

"You mean, this amputated hand bone is related to the legendary Lord of the Undead?" Sirin caught the key point in Amy's words.

Amy could only answer vaguely: "There is such a possibility."

Sirin was also helpless, the elf's Alzheimer's disease seemed to be quite serious, "Then is it what you're looking for?"

Amy shook her head.

What she was looking for was a glowing shard the size of half a palm, not this dead bone.

Sirin put forward a bad guess: "Trich's storage ring was destroyed by someone, will your things be hidden in the ring by him, and then destroyed together? You can sense that in the vicinity Does something exist?"

"It's not that easy to be destroyed." Amy replied subconsciously, "As for sensing its existence, well, I can only say that there is no way."

Sirin poked Amy's cheek speechlessly, her helplessness doubled.

But thinking of Amy's care for her, Sirin could only cheer herself up.

That's all, let's assume that the person who killed Trich took away what Amy was looking for. The corpse died not long ago. If you check it carefully, you can still find some clues.

She touched Amy's head, squatted down, and was about to study the corpse of the necromancer in detail, when Helen at the side finally got her breath together, and said, "Well, about the destruction of the necromancer's staff and storage ring, I have an immature guess here."

Sirin looked at Helen, and the blond girl in a black dress caressed the bulge of her chest, and continued: "In the 1016th issue of the Mage Monthly, there is a theory that there are some special individuals among the undead servants who are enslaved by the Mage, and they still maintain their body after death. Tough will, able to break free from the control of undead spells."

"And the necromancer's casting medium is mainly the staff and the ring. If such an undead exists, after breaking free from control, it should completely destroy the staff and ring to avoid being controlled again..."

When she said this, Helen turned her face in embarrassment, "Of course, this is just an unreliable guess. Destroying a mage's ring and staff at the same time is quite a special situation, and I also suddenly thought of it."

Amy and Sirin didn't think so. They looked at each other and noticed a key problem.

In these few battlefields, there was no corpse of Jack's body!

What is certain is that Trich sent undead ghouls to dig up Jernock's corpse. He died in about half a month, and he would not turn into pure bones.

Moreover, Jernock was a gold-level professional before his death, and his corpse was a very precious material for transformation. Even if Trich escaped from Misty Town, he would bring this corpse with him.

If it was true that Jernock got rid of the control with firm will and killed the necromancer instead, then Trich's death can be explained.

Amy's things may still be in the hands of Jernock, where is the most likely place for the undead Jernock to go?

There are two possibilities, one is Amy's hut in the forest, and the other is Jack's home in Misty Town!

Amy thought of this, and pointed her staff at Trich who was already lying dead, [Resurrection of the Undead]!

The corpse of the necromancer lay motionless on the ground, his neck still bent.

Helen reminded again, "Miss Amy, generally speaking, necromancers are very jealous of being dragged up and continue to work after death. This will make them feel that they have changed from human beings to livestock, so necromancers will treat themselves The body solidifies a secret technique that counters the resurrection of the undead... This is also what was mentioned in the Mage Monthly, probably in issue 716."

Amy covered her forehead to hide her embarrassment.

This matter may be common sense among spellcasters, but Amy came to this world suddenly, and lacks some common sense.

Amy has also heard of Mage Monthly, and the mages in this world do not respect archaeology, but pay attention to "the old is not as good as the new" and "bring forth the new through the old", so they have produced a lot of academic journals, and the Mage Monthly is the most famous one. The ticket has been skipped, but it is still very respected.

Seeing Helen like this, she should be a loyal reader of Mage Monthly.

I wonder if she has watched "The Red Dragon King and the Twelve Knights"?

Amy survived the embarrassing period thinking wildly, and adjusted the target of [Resurrection] to the bones on the ground.

A new squad of skeletons stood up, awaiting orders.

"Go, find the most powerful undead creature around here!"

A few skeletons shook their bodies and walked to the depths of the forest, heading in the direction where Amy's tree house was located.

Volume 28: Chapter [-] Eyes of Wisdom

If things were as Amy and Sirin guessed, the reason why Jernock, who broke free from the shackles of the spell, went to the tree house was probably because he wanted to return "that thing" to Amy himself.
