I really am a necromancer.

44 Sudden Attack
He had heard about Joseph's behavior for a long time. In fact, as a standard noble knight, he was also extremely dissatisfied with Joseph's behavior on weekdays.

It's just because of his father who is the city lord and a third-class wizard, the deputy city lord has never dared to tear himself apart.

Although he couldn't believe that Joseph dared to insult fifth-class wizards, there was no guarantee that Joseph would do something stupid when he was angry.

If the facts were as Yihua said, instead of daring to arrest Yihua and others, they would even apologize for Joseph's behavior.

As for whether it is true or not, it can be known after verification.

Thinking of this, the deputy city lord issued a new order:
"Is the butler of the City Lord's Mansion here? Bring the butler here!"

A moment later, a middle-aged man with glasses wearing a black and white butler uniform was brought over. He was the same butler who had followed Joseph earlier.

Seeing the steward brought him here, the deputy city lord exuded the mighty coercion of being an earth knight, and asked in an extremely majestic tone:
"Let me ask you, is it true that Joseph ordered the scrolls purchased by these wizards to be replaced with discarded scrolls!"

"Vice, Vice City Lord, this matter is true, Master Joseph ordered me to do it, and I have dissuaded him before."

The middle-aged butler's heart was cold, his body was trembling, and he replied with ashen face.

Previously, Joseph relied on his father's tiger skin to do many evils, but now Yihua, who killed Joseph, had even bigger tiger skin, and the dead Joseph could only consider himself unlucky.

The blame lies in the fact that Joseph didn't know people clearly and kicked the hidden iron plate.

No matter what Yi Hua said was true or not, they didn't dare to go to the fifth-class wizard to verify the truth.

Since the evidence is true, and Joseph has indeed deceived these wizards, his best choice at this time is to believe it.

He didn't dare to gamble, if what Yi Hua said was true, but he arrested them, it would very likely arouse the wrath of a fifth-class wizard.

When the time comes, what awaits him and the city of Yor will be a catastrophe.

Therefore, what Yi Hua said can only be true and must be true.

In this way, facing the accusation of the third-class wizard and city lord afterwards, he also had an excuse to shirk responsibility for letting Yi Hua and others go.

Although his status is lower than that of the city lord, as an earth knight of the same level as a third-class wizard, the city lord will not blame him too much.

At this time, the two sides were silent, and the field fell into a brief stalemate.

Yi Hua felt a little nervous when he heard the thumping heartbeat in his body, ready to strike violently at any time.

Under normal circumstances, they are under the banner of fifth-class wizards, and it is almost impossible for the other party to dare to stop them.

If the other party is still reasonable, he will definitely retreat in spite of the difficulties, but if the other party is not smart enough——

Then we can only fight.

The strength of wizards is often better than knights of the same level. With the combat power of their five second-class wizards, if they really try their best.

Although there will be some losses, there is a high probability that the deputy city lord of the earth knight in front of him will not be able to resist the breakout of everyone.

"Master Deputy City Master, how should we deal with them?"

A middle-aged knight behind the deputy city lord stepped forward and quietly asked the old golden-armored knight for instructions.

"Disposal?"

The deputy city lord, who had just made the decision to apologize, trembled in his heart and slapped him ruthlessly.

Snapped!
The middle-aged great knight clutched his flushed cheeks. Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, out of the trust of the deputy city lord, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

After finishing all this, the deputy city lord bowed deeply to Yihua and the others.

"My lords, wizards, we are deeply sorry for what happened to Joseph, and I hope that you can stay with me. As the deputy city lord, I guarantee that I will definitely make up for Joseph's offense to them!"

Yi Hua's eyes flickered, but he was not tempted by the compensation offered by the deputy city lord, and chose to refuse.

"Forget it, I've taken your wish, we have to go back to report to the instructor in a hurry, so we won't stay here any longer."

The golden-armored old knight hesitated for a while, but finally chose to agree without forcing him to stay.

This is, after all, a wizarding world.

The anger of the fifth-class wizards is not something they, a mortal city, can bear.

Yi Hua took back the token and returned it to Anna.

Under the order of the deputy city lord, dozens of formal knights around retreated one after another and made way for the road.

Watching several wizard apprentices drive away in a carriage.
-
Because he didn't know if the deputy city lord would return, he caught up with everyone again.

Therefore, they did not stop, and headed towards Fangorn Forest at the fastest speed.

A few hours later, Anna released the messenger bird and walked in the direction of leaving the city until the messenger bird flew for more than ten miles and dissipated in the air.

Seeing that there was no sign of the other party chasing after them, the people who had gone deep into the Fangorn Forest were relieved, and looked at the blank sheepskin scrolls in the carriage.

"How should we divide these scrolls?"

Reg was the first to break the peaceful atmosphere.

"How about dividing it according to the proportion of witch crystals invested by everyone?"

Ural hesitated for a while, and made a suggestion to everyone.

This suggestion is relatively fair on the whole, but it is slightly unfair to Yi Hua who made the plan.

Before Yihua could make a statement, Anna took the lead and said:

"The success of this operation is completely inseparable from Yihua's plan. I suggest that before the division, everyone should share one-fifth of their own investment scrolls and give them to him as a thank you gift."

Anna looked at Yihua. Unlike the other three apprentices, Anna and Yihua had a cooperative relationship.

The more scrolls Yihua makes and sells to her, the more profit Anna makes.

Therefore, she plans to sell Yihua a favor in order to obtain more favorable conditions in the next cooperation.

Before everyone could make a decision, several huge wild boars, the size of cars and looking a little panicked, suddenly sprang out from the forest on the side.

"It's a first-class ferocious wild boar!"

Reg seemed to be very familiar with this ferocious beast. In order to avoid damage to the carriage carrying the scroll, everyone got out of the carriage and quickly went up to it.

After a while, everyone surrounded the group of steel-backed wild boars that kept rushing out, trying to prevent the steel-backed wild boars from approaching the carriage.

Behind the herd of steel-backed wild boars, three huge, elephant-like giant steel-backed wild boars came out, and looked at several wizard apprentices blocking in front with fear and urgency.

"Be careful, these three are second-class steel-backed wild boar kings."

Looking at the three second-class fierce beasts in front of him, there was no relaxation on Reg's face.

Without wasting time, following the roar of the steel-backed wild boar king behind him, groups of steel-backed wild boars rushed towards the crowd.

Yi Hua dodged the impact of the steel-backed wild boar, and at the moment when his body criss-crossed, the cross sword in Yihua's hand slashed open the steel-backed wild boar's left rib like a gust of wind.

squeak!
There was a sound like killing a pig, and the blood of the steel-backed wild boar spurted out from the one-meter-long wound on the left rib.

The steel-backed wild boar that attacked Yihua rushed more than ten meters along the inertia, lost the strength to move, and let out waves of weak wailing from lying on the ground.
