The old man opened his eyes with a dazed consciousness, and it took him several seconds to fully wake up.
"What happened?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Shh, keep your voice down, come here and take a look."
The man in his 30s squatted at the tent door, watching the people in black robes passing by. The old man also walked over slowly, squatted down with difficulty, and looked outside.
"What are these...?" He had some doubts. Even a knowledgeable businessman felt strange and curious at this moment.
"I don't know, but I just heard that officer instruct us soldiers in this settlement to cooperate with the actions of these black-robed men. It seems they are searching for something."
"Ah, they are coming." A man in a black robe with a hood covering his face walked over.
Perhaps they were speaking a little loudly, or perhaps they wanted to warn those who were making random guesses, but when the black-robed transcendent approached, a chilling and biting feeling brushed across the body, giving people goose bumps.
The silver-gray pupils under the hood seemed to see through his body, mind and soul with just a slight glance, shocking the man in his thirties. He then collapsed on the ground and gradually recovered until the other party had walked away for a long time.
"Hoo-hoo-hoo-" He pressed his violently beating heart, the scene in his mind simply lingering.
And on the other side of the resettlement site.
"Oh, Zachli, you've scared people again! That's how our Necromancer Order's reputation has been ruined," a woman also dressed in black said to her companions. Her voluptuous figure, even wrapped tightly, still exuded a certain allure.
"We are not in the Judgment Bureau now. Come on, soften your look a little, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a girlfriend." The woman communicated with her companions in an encrypted voice. In the eyes of outsiders, they were just walking around the resettlement site and searching one by one.
"Senior Cecilia, don't worry about my life. Besides, if possible, I don't mind you being my lover."
"Ah, what a sharp counterattack! You're worthy of being the feared torturer. If we get married, will you torture me every day?"
The woman still did not forget to say words that aroused people's imagination. Fortunately, these words would not be noticed by others, otherwise their mysterious and cold image in black robes would be immediately shattered.
After receiving the Pope's order, the Qiye Palace dispatched a number of necromancer wizards, and even the Judgment Department sent subordinates over, because according to intelligence, they found that there were many traces of "Backlighters" activities in the Frost Alliance.
These two were from the Judgment Department's team. Their mission was not only to search the city's underground and surrounding areas for the mages' hidden hideouts, but also to look for any traces of the Backlighters' activities. Therefore, they preferred to target refugee settlements with more people, rather than manipulating ghosts through layers of earth and searching the vast underground spaces like other necromancers.
As they were walking, the necromancer with cold eyes suddenly stopped, and his companions soon reacted.
"Tsk, I didn't expect there really is a big fish." The woman who was talking nonsense just now also looked serious.
In front of the two of them, in a tent in a corner of the resettlement site, a low prayer sound was heard, and with it, there was a strange and slightly distorted feeling.
However, the two men didn't act immediately. They paused for a few seconds before continuing on as usual, but this time they were much more silent and cautious. They not only wanted to capture this man, but also searched beforehand to see if there were any accomplices who had escaped, in order to avoid losing one of them.
At night, the man who had been frightened during the day was now sleeping peacefully in the tent, seemingly having recovered from the shock. Meanwhile, the elderly man beside him was suffering from insomnia. He had to sit up and look at his snoring roommate with melancholy.
Suddenly, there was a creepy shouting from outside, and then it stopped abruptly, followed by the hurried footsteps of soldiers and the sound of armor colliding.
He couldn't help but get up carefully, gently opened the gap in the tent, and observed the situation outside.
On the wide road illuminated by the fire, several struggling people were being tied up and held down by the soldiers and taken outside. They looked ferocious and terrifying, while several people in black robes followed closely behind them. As they walked, some fallen leaves on the ground were rolled up by them, spun slightly in the air, and then fell down. A familiar cold feeling swept over his body.
A man in black robes tapped one of the tied men, his fingertips touching his forehead. Then the man suddenly fainted and stopped struggling, and the place became much quieter.
Looking at this incredible scene, the old man slowly remembered the rare extraordinary sequence, the undead sequence that focused on corpses, bones, and souls.
He covered his mouth in fear, slowly backed away, and then collapsed on the carpet in the tent. Only then did he dare to breathe a little louder.
————
Under the search of these black-robed necromancers, many hidden existences were discovered, some of them were mages hiding deep in the cellar, some were "backlit people" who acted in secret, some were treasures hidden in the cellars of some wealthy people's homes, some were strongholds where thieves retreated, and there were even some underground entertainment venues that were once invisible.
These discoveries far exceeded the official's previous expectations. They had originally planned to find important enemy figures and large secret spaces, but unexpectedly they found unexpected gains everywhere.
In response to this, they had no choice but to increase their efforts and continue cleaning up the dark and filthy places in the city, and they also wondered whether they had to do the same for the several cities they had occupied before.
