It is hard to imagine that North, a necromancer apprentice who only knows how to refine potions and whose overall strength is not very strong and cannot even reach the fourth level of strength corresponding to a formal professional, would actually compete with the tax collector in Saou City.
There is a close connection.
Perhaps it was the chance encounter between the two in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce when North was purchasing refining materials, which left a very deep impression on each other, or perhaps it was the fact that in the city of Saou, which is full of official necromancers and undead creatures, the two
People all held important positions in the city with their humble abilities, and thus found a common topic. When North came to his senses, this was what happened.
During this period of time, Leah was also one of the few people around North who could talk to him.
In the process of exploring the method of refining potions alone in the quiet room, North felt extremely lonely for a long time. He recalled his life in Bracada. At that time, North, although he had mastered spiritualism, could not help but feel lonely.
He didn’t escape from the orthodox magic academy, but he still had his companions from the Spirit Society beside him, so he wasn’t completely alone.
Before Leah appeared, North had tried to communicate with the vampire outside the door and invited it into the quiet room. Unfortunately, the vampire did not want to talk to him and simply ignored him.
His experience in Bracada made North always want to become a real necromancer. In his opinion, experiencing and enduring loneliness is what a real necromancer must learn.
North had learned such information from some classics.
According to legend, in the deepest part of Diya, where necromancers gather, there exist immortal lichs. These lichs may have survived for hundreds of thousands of years, and records of their existence can even be traced back to the golden age of Brakada.
The most glorious period of the Mage God.
Liches that have survived for a long time, what kind of things can accompany them? Whether they are legendary undead creatures or death knights, they do not have the ability to be truly immortal without going through the final endless night ritual. Their souls
The fire will still dissipate with the corruption and weathering of the body.
Except for the existence of the lich, nothing can stay with the lich forever. With this ability alone, the lich can kill most of its enemies. In a sense, this is the only
It is a truly invincible force.
In North's view, as lichs that exist beyond all necromancers, their near-immortal lives must be spent in loneliness.
The necromancer is alone, unable to trust any of his so-called companions, and is afraid of being transformed into an undead creature after death, with only undead creatures by his side.
Such a life is lonely enough, but for lichs, this is just the most normal life in their immortal lives. They will live such a life forever, and even the undead creatures accompanying the lich will perish due to decay.
In the end, only the lich itself and the new undead creatures are left.
Just a few short months of living in a quiet room made North feel a little unbearable. He didn't know how those lichs spent this almost immortal life.
He is obviously just an apprentice-level necromancer, but he is worried about the lich. Sometimes when he thinks of this, North will laugh at himself.
There is no doubt that Leah's appearance relieved North's loneliness to a great extent.
Compared to the beginning, at this time, in the process of refining potions every day, what North looks forward to most is not the completion of the potions, but the scene of meeting Leah next time.
North thought that his own will was enough to withstand the loneliness of being a necromancer alone, but whenever he thought of meeting Leah, the feeling of excitement in his heart made North feel extremely confused.
The past life in Bracada did not bring this kind of experience to North. Without knowing how to deal with it, North could only let the emotions in his heart develop.
Perhaps sensing North's unstable state of mind, Leah came to the quiet room more frequently during this period, but in North's memory, she never looked so anxious.<
/p>
Thinking of the man in black robe who came to the quiet room to assassinate him before, North realized that something unusual seemed to have happened.
"Saou City is under attack led by mages. The city is no longer safe. Follow me and escape from here."
During the conversation, Leah noticed the body of the man in black robes in the quiet room. Looking at the body that was corroded by acid, she became even more worried about North's situation.
Leah knew that North used his acid ring. It was with Leah's help that North bought this special space ring.
Hearing Leah's hurried words, North was stunned. Before he could understand what happened, Leah took hold of his outstretched hand and started running towards the open door of the quiet room. Following his hunch, North did not doubt Leah's words. If it were another necromancer here, he might not be willing to leave the quiet room before he figured out the real situation.
As he walked along the upward stairs, a strong red light shone from above his head. Along with the red light came waves of heat. He was used to being shrouded in darkness, and suddenly seeing this scene made North suddenly excited.
I couldn't adapt to the time, so I couldn't help but move my eyes in other directions.
After he was completely on the ground and adjusted to the surrounding light, North felt a sense of shock when he looked at the surrounding scenes.
The dark sky that covered the entire earth had long since dissipated, and was replaced by a crimson sky, which was the color of the entire sky dyed red by flames.
Sweat dripped from North's face. He looked around and found that the entire city of Saou was shrouded in a sea of fire. Most of the surrounding buildings had collapsed, and black smoke was rising upwards. Only the passage he was in was covered with smoke.
The passage to the quiet room where a large number of corpse witches are stationed in the distance is relatively safe.
As if remembering something, North was shocked. Recalling his memory, Rhodes once transformed dead creatures into the Corpse Witch King without any help. North immediately took Leah and prepared to go to the Corpse Witch King.
Take refuge in the underground passage where the witch is stationed.
However, Leah grabbed North and prepared to take him to escape in another direction. At the same time, she took out several magic scrolls and prepared to use them.
There was another burst of explosions in the sky, and violent waves of flames spread in all directions in the city. Leah tore open a magic scroll, and the familiar feeling of spell blessing came from North, and he knew that he was being affected.
The influence of firebending magic.
Without time to argue with Leah, North looked towards the direction of the explosion in the sky, where two mages were standing out of thin air, engaged in a duel that affected the entire city of Saou.
