Mages, Adventurers, and Women

On the second floor of the pastor's association, Li Wei was awakened by a noisy commotion.

Upon hearing "Baron Della's Castle," his drowsy mind immediately started working again.

He sat up abruptly.

Samantha, who was staying with him at the hospital, was startled.

Samantha's face was flushed, as if she had taken a magic potion, and she looked radiant.

Li Wei wore a clean gray linen shirt with "A Book" embroidered on the chest.

The book is a sacred relic of the light element recognized by the priests' association—the Holy Light Codex.

Legend has it that the priest who finds the Holy Light Codex will become the highest priest.

Li Wei looked around.

He was in a simply decorated room of about 20 square meters.

The ground and walls were gray with a hint of white.

Two spruce plank beds were placed facing each other.

There was only one hemp pillow on the bed, filled with a lot of grit and fine wheat grains.

Li Wei was on the bed by the window, across from Julia, who was unconscious.

A screen had been placed between the two people, but it was now hidden, so the painting on the screen was no longer visible.

"How long have I slept?"

Li Wei rubbed his still slightly throbbing head and asked.

Samantha, her face flushed, counted on her fingers:

"Eight...no, two days."

Samantha's slip of the tongue immediately alerted Levi.

He abruptly pulled back the light gray sheet.

He demanded, "Where are my pants?"

Samantha stammered, "I'm afraid you'll get hot..."

Li Wei said helplessly:

"several times?"

Samantha was taken aback, and said guiltily:

Eight times.

"why?"

Li Wei wanted to say, "I'm already injured like this, and you still did it eight times?"

Do you really want me to die?

Samantha raised her head and argued forcefully:

"Who told you to be so indifferent all the time, always clutching a tattered book? What's in that book more worthy of your attention than me?"

"I just want to see you when you're not cold!"

Li Wei calmly asked, "And the result?"

Samantha's initial enthusiasm faltered, and she said awkwardly, "It's even more boring than when I'm reading normally."

"Then you'll do it eight more times?"

"Hmm...it feels quite novel..."

Levi found some linen shorts from the pastors' association, put them on, put aside the problems that had already occurred, walked up to Julia, and observed her:

How are my teammates doing?

Samantha, seeing Levi's concern for Julia, said jealously, "They're all dead."

“Samantha! They are my teammates. We almost died in Baron Della’s castle!”

Li Wei reprimanded him.

"Can't you keep your voice down? I've been watching over you for two days and two nights, honestly..."

Samantha muttered something, and said succinctly:

“Yulia’s injuries are similar to yours, and the priest in charge of your treatment says she will wake up today.”

"The orcs and dwarves look badly injured, but they are actually just simple wounds. Duro's arm was reattached well and it doesn't stop him from wielding his sword to fight monsters."

"They've already left the Priests' Guild. They asked me to tell you that they're going to the Adventurers' Guild to wait for you and Julia."

Li Wei felt relieved.

He then asked, "Where are the things?"

Samantha nodded:

"Your things are under the bed, I dare not touch them. The orc and dwarf skin bags are stored at the Adventurers' Guild, no one will touch them."

Li Wei pinched Julia's cheeks a few times, then ran back to the bedside, took out the animal skin bag, found the Necromancer General's eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

What he threw to the skeleton earlier was a small piece of bone that had been broken off from the undead.

Pretending to be the eyes of the Necromancer General, he fooled Klein with his superb acting skills.

At that moment, Clayke had no energy to scrutinize Livy's every move with a spying eye, magnifying and observing it repeatedly.

Given how much Klecker values ​​the Necromancer General's eyes, Levi guesses they must be something valuable.

After leaving the priests' association, go and find out more about Fina, the necromancer's lover.

All things considered, he had a lot to do on this trip back to Rolling Stone Town, including asking Willow about the meaning of "combined arcane characters".

And understand why the Necromancer General is so irrationally strong when he is only a "level 2-12" undead creature.

Samantha walked over naturally and pushed Levi onto the bed.

Her long dress trailed on the ground.

But—the gap.

"First, unfold the screen."

"trouble!"

Samantha muttered something, then gripped her petticoat and did as she was told. The screen depicted a dragon and phoenix in a drunken stupor, the painting exquisite and lifelike.

……

What's the situation with Baron Della's castle?

Li Wei asked calmly.

Samantha glanced down at Levi and explained:

"That very night, a level 2 troll squad from the Sandstorm area went there to explore, but they lost three teammates and had to come back."

[Rationality +0.01%]

……

"and then?"

"This matter alarmed the old president of the Adventurers' Guild. He, along with two vice presidents and three elders, went to investigate and discovered that Baron Dela's castle had become a lake formed from necromantic elements."

[Rationality +0.01%]

……

"Where is the Undead General?"

“The Necromancer General?” Samantha was taken aback, then frowned and said, “Wait a minute, let me focus on what’s happening now.”

"I'm almost there."

"Then hurry up."

[Rationality +0.01%]

……

The screen was removed.

[Rationality +0.12%]

Samantha, in a good mood, lay on her side next to Levi and said:

"The next morning, the Adventurers' Guild received news from Archmage Frey that Klek admitted that you released the undead general, and everyone is very cautious about this matter."

"That day, the guild paid a high price to bring back a level 3 gargoyle adventurer team from the depths of the Monster Hills and asked them to find out the whereabouts of the Necromancer General."

"But—they almost got into trouble too. Luckily, they didn't venture deep into Baron Della's castle, but only searched in the lakes of the former farmland area, otherwise they would never have made it back."

"They brought back news that a large number of high-level undead creatures are active in Baron Della's castle."

"The old chairman and my mother guessed that perhaps it was because of the resurrection of the Necromancer General that the Necromancer Contamination Pool and Baron Della's castle accidentally merged."

"The whereabouts of the Necromancer General are unknown. It is currently in Baron Della's castle. It's only a matter of time before it becomes a level 3 undead creature. Nobody wants to provoke it—except for you and Klek."

"The Adventurers' Guild has designated Baron Dela's castle as the third forbidden area around Rolling Stone Town."

Levi had anticipated that bastard Clay would turn the tables on him.

He was somewhat surprised; was the Necromancer General really that troublesome?

The other two forbidden areas are located deep within the Monster Hills, and are constantly guarded by level 3 gargoyle adventurer teams.

Baron Dela's castle, however, is located on the outer edge of the Monster Hills.

Samantha gazed at Li Wei's handsome face with fascination and continued:

"My mom said the Necromancer General is very strong."

"The Adventurers' Guild is divided into four levels based on the talents and strength of monsters, magical beasts, and undead creatures."

"White Dragon (Common), Black Dragon (Elite), Silver Dragon (Commander), Gold Dragon (Lord)"

White Dragon, Black Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Gold Dragon correspond to the four most common dragon races in the legends of the Grand Continent. From lowest to highest, this is their rarity ranking according to the bards.

"The most common type of white dragon is the common goblin, monster wolf, skeleton undead, etc."

"Within the same level, elite black dragons crush ordinary white dragons; commander-level silver dragons are invincible against monsters, magical beasts, and undead creatures."

"The final Golden Dragon Lord level—every magical beast, monster, and undead creature, like the 'Undead General,' possesses the formidable strength to crush enemies of a higher level."

Samantha, when talking about this meal, earnestly gave some instructions:

"The story of Levi, the Necromancer General, has been recounted in detail by Klek to the Adventurers' Guild."

“My mom said that you and Klake were able to escape with your lives thanks to the fact that the Necromancer General was in a sealed state when he was resurrected. He could only barely summon the undead and his own strength was less than one percent. Also, Klake used the ‘Ice Seal’ spell scroll at the right time. If it had been any later, when the Necromancer General was fully resurrected, even if he used ‘Ice Seal’, you wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

"You must never go to Baron Della's castle again. You escaped with your life this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."

Li Wei nodded. He wasn't ready to die yet and wouldn't be so foolish as to go looking for the Undead General to return his eyes.

"By the way, the Rolling Stone Town Adventurers' Guild didn't create a complete Four Dragons Compendium for the surrounding area, so they didn't sell it. Some people in the town would buy the Three Kingdoms Four Dragons Compendium when the Eternal Heart Airship Merchant Guild came to Rolling Stone Town, so very few people know the inside story."

Samantha smiled mysteriously as she said this, and whispered boastfully:

"I stole the Rolling Stone Town Adventurers' Guild's internal guide on how to distinguish the 'Four Dragons' level from my mom. It's more suitable for the people of Rolling Stone Town than the ones circulating in the Three Kingdoms market. I'll give it to you when I go back to the Adventurers' Guild."

Li Wei was overjoyed and said, "Okay."

boom--

The door was suddenly kicked open.

A travel-worn Elda stood outside the door with a cold expression.

She spotted Samantha immediately.

With her extensive experience, she immediately understood what had happened.

She couldn't contain her anger and said:

"You bitch! I knew you'd take the opportunity to come looking for Li Wei while I was away from Rolling Stones!"
