Chapter 265: New and Old Hatreds
As a necromancer, he needs a large number of corpses for experiments every year.
Where did the body come from?
Of course, they were stolen, robbed, and killed.
Oguta cooperated with the pirates to intercept ships on the Itunli River in the Dalia Empire and obtained ten fresh corpses every month.
He kept three for his own research and presented the seventh as a tribute to his teacher Sean Pusen who was far away in Cecilia.
Since Xien accepted a disciple, he no longer had to worry about dealing with corpses. He could concentrate more on practicing and serving the great God of Darkness.
However, this month, Oguta did not send him a body.
He sent a message, but it fell on deaf ears.
Xien suddenly had a foreboding premonition and personally traveled to the Dalia Empire. When he saw the razed water fortress and the traces of burning, he was furious.
Someone killed all the pirates, including his disciple Oguta.
The murderer was very skilled in destroying the body and covering up all traces of the crime. Not only the body, but even the blood stains were cleaned up, creating the illusion that the house was deserted.
An ordinary magician would probably be deceived, but Sheen was a necromancer and was well aware of the breath of death. As soon as he approached the water fort, he knew that many people had died here.
Among the many auras of death, he sensed the residual soul of his disciple Oguta.
Through that remnant soul, he learned that it was a magician at the level of a god of magic who destroyed the entire water village.
However, because the residual soul left too little information, it is impossible to know who killed the disciple.
He searched for half a month but found nothing.
The only thing that caught his attention was the merchant ship of the Graves family. When passing through the Mora River, the magician on the ship had a fierce battle with the pirates.
The pirates were defeated, the intercepting gate was destroyed, the Graves family's merchant ship left arrogantly, and the following ships took the opportunity to escape.
According to Sheen's speculation, that day was the day when the water fort was destroyed.
He was going to continue the investigation, but he received the king's order and went to the Wobba Canyon to absorb the essence of the blood prison grass and prepare a potion to relieve the king's pain.
However, when he arrived three thousand meters below the canyon, the Demon Lord who was supposed to be waiting was nowhere to be found, and only a deep pit was left where the Blood Hell Grass was planted.
He was shocked and followed the trail all the way to the northern rocky beach of the Wobba Grand Canyon, where he found the corpse of a low-level monster and the aura of death of the Demon Lord Ansedram.
The powerful Demon Lord was actually killed!
Sheen couldn't believe it.
Judging from the scene, it was initially determined that the person who killed the Demon Lord was a fire magician who surpassed the God of Law.
However, as far as he knew, there had never been a human god of fire in the entire Austin continent.
Since he couldn't find much useful information, he could only return to Cecilia to report to the king.
After the king learned of the situation, he ordered Sarn to go with him back to the canyon to conduct a deeper investigation.
As soon as they arrived at the canyon, they ran into people from the Magic Association, who took their heads without any hesitation.
After destroying two teams of magicians, another team of archmages arrived, and Sheen Pusen and Saen started their hunting plan.
Just as he was about to capture three fresh corpses of great wizards, the hateful young man appeared before him.
At this moment, there was only deep hatred in Sheen's eyes, and his whole body was filled with billowing smoke filled with darkness.
The thick smoke transformed into dozens of ferocious black snakes, baring their fangs and claws and making shrill roars.
New and old grudges were intertwined, and Sheen wished he could tear Ilio into pieces.
"You killed Lord Ansedram?"
Sheen asked through gritted teeth.
Ilio was indifferent to the necromancer's hatred, and his handsome face always had a smile that was enough to make people angry.
"Who is Cecil Drum?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Don't play dumb! Three days ago, were you the one who killed the Demon Lord on the rocky beach in the north of the canyon?" Xien asked coldly.
Ilio's eyes gleamed with sudden realization. "Oh, you mean that ugly creature that claimed to be immortal? Haha—it's a shame it boasted, but in the end, it was reduced to ash."
"It's you!" Sheen roared, shouting at Saen who was standing by and watching the show, "Why don't you kill him?"
Sarn remained calm, his deep, piercing eyes examining Ilio. Hearing Sheen's furious roar, he raised his hand and said, "Sheen, you've been blinded by hatred and lost your judgment."
"If you don't want to do it, don't make excuses!" Sheen said coldly.
Sarn shook his head. "Have you forgotten? Lord Ansedram's death scene left traces of numerous fire magics, and he controlled wind magic."
Xien was stunned for a moment, then regained a bit of his rationality.
"Unless he's a dual-elemental magician of wind and fire," Sarn asked Ilio with great interest. "Are you?"
Elio smiled at him. "What do you think?"
With a wave of the magic wand, the endless wind blades turned into a tornado that devoured everything, roaring and sweeping towards the Necromancer and the Nightmare.
To eliminate future troubles, these two guys must die.
****
In the Adventurer's Guild Hall, ten magic apprentices stood in a row in front of the column for posting tasks, reading the hundreds of tasks listed there from beginning to end.
After a while, they sighed regretfully.
"Are there no more suitable missions for us?" Desio asked disappointedly.
Hunt Kaga Foxes in the Ergoga Desert, capture baby Amaya rabbits in the Monster Forest, search for missing adventurers in the Unibal Swamp, and go deep into the Sannia Mountains to exchange horse-faced spider silk with the Winged People...
All of them are adventure missions above the intermediate level, which take at least a month and are not suitable for the Light Team.
There will never be another task like the previous one that is similar in distance, simple and lucrative.
"Let's look for it more carefully." Angel said persistently, "Actually, we can take the mission to the Warcraft Forest."
When humans go to the Warcraft Forest, their lives are in danger, but the goblins and dragons are not afraid.
They grew up in the forest and have the ability to communicate with monsters. If they encounter a ferocious, brutal and unreasonable monster, they will release Farm to intimidate it.
You can skip tasks like catching monster cubs, but there is no problem with tasks like collecting herbs and mining.
"Missions 34, 78, 114, and 345 are all gathering missions." Kumandi took out his notebook and quill pen at some point and started recording the mission items suitable for them.
Shu Li immediately checked the mission requirements. "Hmm, Mission 34 is to go deep into the Warcraft Forest to collect ore. The adventurer team level must be at least level 5. Excluded!"
Their adventure team is only at level one and cannot handle it at all.
"Although Mission No. 78 involves collecting herbs, there are many varieties, and it will take more than ten days or half a month to complete. The adventure team must be at level seven or above. Eliminate it!" Budno shook his head and rejected it.
"Quest 114 is about finding the Bright Light Grass. Only level 8 and 9 adventure teams can take it. Excluded!" Hector was surprised. "Why are the requirements so high?"
Siti said, "Didn't you notice? The reward is also high."
Each one is over 5,000, and the reward for No. 114 is as high as 20,000 gold coins. It has been posted for almost a month, but no one has taken it up yet.
"What kind of grass is Xinguang Grass?" Nasha asked curiously. This quest required an incredibly high level for the adventure team.
Kumandi said, "According to the book, this is a rare herb that only grows in the Monster Forest and has magical healing properties. If combined with the moonlight grass that only grows in the Fairy Forest, it can be mixed into a precious potion that prolongs life."
Ace added, "High-level magical beasts often guard the vicinity of the Radiant Light Grass. The older it is, the higher the level of the guardian beast. Additionally, it can be combined with Thunder Flame Grass, Thorn Grass, and Snow Moon Grass to create an exorcism that purifies the dark aura."
"Exorcism?" Shu Li was stunned.
Thunder Flame Grass and Thorn Grass are herbs unique to the Fairy Forest. Efit often buys them from him. Is it to prepare exorcism potions to suppress the dark energy in his body?
"You know it so well!" Shu Li looked at the blond boy with bright eyes and said in admiration.
Even Jingjing, the top student, only knows one potion formula, but Ace, as a human, actually knows two.
The seeds of doubt took root.
Ace calmly pulled a yellowed ancient book from his storage bag. "I borrowed this book from the library last week. It contains many ancient potion recipes."
Shu Li stared at the ancient book in his hand.
He uprooted the seeds of doubt that had just sprouted.
Ace's reading range is really wide!
It turns out that in addition to reading casual books, he also likes to read boring serious books.
The first three tasks are ruled out, what about the last one?
Just as everyone was discussing Mission No. 345, a joyful voice suddenly sounded from behind.
“Hector, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Hector was a little confused when his name was suddenly called, and turned to look at the person who was trying to get close to him.
"you……"
When Hector saw the other person's appearance clearly, his pupils shrank slightly and his face suddenly turned cold.
It's him!
Jason Ferrent!
The eldest son of the Ferent family of the Pros Empire, a hypocritical and shameless person!
Three years ago, when Hector was just seventeen years old, he went to the royal city with his father to attend a court banquet and accidentally spilled wine on Jason's dress.
He felt really bad and said he would pay a large compensation.
Jason refused, only asking him to accompany him to the locker room to change into new clothes.
Hector was thin-skinned and agreed reluctantly.
Jason took him to a spare dressing room, closed the door, and suddenly pushed him against the wall, saying shameless words.
"You're so cute, do you want to do it with me here?"
At that time, Hector was horrified.
The noble young masters were all precocious and naturally understood the meaning of Jason's words.
I never expected that this serious-looking guy actually likes men!
Hector resisted fiercely, and in a panic, he kicked Jason in the vitals. Jason bent over in pain. Hector took the opportunity to break free, opened the door, and quickly fled the locker room.
From then on, Jason made things difficult for him everywhere.
Everyone thought he offended Jason because of a glass of wine, but they didn't know the real reason.
Hector would rather keep such an embarrassing thing to himself than tell anyone about it.
When his father was alive, Jason was a little more restrained, but now that his father is gone, he might become even worse.
Before coming to Saint Virya School of Magic, he thought he would meet Jason.
I just didn't expect to meet you so soon.
Shu Li noticed that Hector tensed his muscles as if facing a great enemy, and looked at the brown-haired, blue-eyed young man in confusion.
The young man was very tall, half a head taller than Hector, about 1.9 meters tall, handsome with sharp features. He was wearing the high-end uniform of the Saint Villiers School of Magic, with an intermediate magician badge on his chest.
He had a charming smile on his face, and his blue eyes stared straight at Hector, showing his charm like a peacock spreading its tail.
"Your friend?" Shu Li poked Hector's arm with her finger.
"No!" Hector immediately denied, "I don't know him!"
Friend? More like an enemy!
Hector ignored the sick smile on Jason's face and turned back to the mission column. "Let's take a look at the mission description for number 345."
