Xu Xi knew very well that wizards were a crazy group.

For power, wizards can communicate with the underworld.

For the sake of truth, wizards can transform themselves.

In order to be extraordinary, wizards can abandon ethics.

From the current situation of the wizarding world and some information from the Extraordinary Coordination Bureau, Xu Xi clearly knew that being on guard against other wizards was the primary goal of survival in the wizarding world.

therefore.

Even though I am very interested in "Brave Man", I want to study the strange balance between life and death.

Xu Xi also waited patiently.

Beware of possible risks.

Until recently, when he witnessed the sacrificial battle of the "brave man", Xu Xi was certain that there was no one behind the "brave man".

All battles and all actions are based on the will of the "brave man".

Half an hour later.

The rain has stopped.

In a remote dead forest far away from the village, Xu Xi sat quietly, his pitch-black robe put on and performed a dust-clearing ritual to automatically disperse the surrounding mud.

In comparison, the half-undead girl looked very miserable.

The armor was badly damaged.

The long sword was broken into pieces.

The steel helmet was constantly dripping with mud and water.

Maybe Xi had already seen the girl's true face, but even so, the girl insisted on wearing a helmet and did not dare to talk in her true face.

"W-Wizard-sama?"

She spoke carefully.

His face was hidden behind the helmet, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

But just by listening to the sound, Xu Xi could imagine the cowering expression.

"Are you afraid of me?" Xu Xi stretched out his palm, and the dead branches above his head fell into the rain, landing squarely on the palm of his hand, splashing cool water.

Xu Xi was certain that he did not know the undead girl.

That is to say.

What the other side fears is not the "Xu faction".

Is it a wizard named "Xu Xi"?

"Yes... no no no, no," the girl sat upright. Even though she was wearing iron armor, she could still show some aristocratic temperament.

He nodded first, then shook his head in panic.

Hesitate again and again.

He stood up and thanked Xu Xi solemnly: "Thank you for your help."

Such polite behavior made Xu Xi further confirm that the girl in front of him was once a noble.

"Please sit down. I'll take it, thank you."

Xu Xi patted the seat lightly to let the undead girl return to her position.

"Yes, Master Wizard."

The girl was very obedient. She seemed to feel Xu Xi's kindness and her movements were no longer so stiff.

The so-called seat is actually a wooden stake.

Armor, bones, and wooden stakes collide with each other.

In the silent dead forest, it appears extremely clear.

To be honest, facing a skeleton at close range, and a skeleton wearing heavy armor, I always feel that the atmosphere is a bit subtle.

Quiet and dark.

silence and tranquility.

Xu Xi didn't waste time and got straight to the point: "Can you tell me your name and the reason why your body has become undead?"

“You mean…?”

"all."

"..."

In response to Xu Xi's questioning, the undead remained silent.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Before I tell you the answer, can you please listen to a story I tell you?"

“This is a story about a friend of mine.”

The undead girl added.

As we all know, the so-called friend refers to oneself.

Xu Xi nodded slightly: "Okay, you can start talking."

So.

Under Xu Xi's gaze, the girl, whose body had turned into a ghost and was wrapped in iron armor, began to tell a story from the distant past.

That was long before the undead scourge.

Stories about the wizarding world still being a paradise for the living.

There is a noble family named Clawfield that rules over a vast territory teeming with life.

The lord is gentle and humble, a great knight famous in the kingdom, and his combat skills are comparable to those of powerful enemy races such as orcs.

The lord's wife was gentle and beautiful, and they had a daughter.

sylvia crawfield.

The girl grew up in happiness, enjoying the love of her family. At a young age, she possessed the extraordinary strength of a formal knight.

Platinum hair color.

Emerald green eyes.

Known as the "Emerald of Light".

"Servia, my child, you will be the glory of Clawfield!" If nothing unexpected happens, Servia will continue to grow and possess the strength of a great knight that rivals her father, becoming the new lord of the Clawfield family.

But the reason why an accident is an accident is that it comes suddenly.

Severia is considered a rising star.

I was suddenly infected with a serious disease that could not be cured by conventional methods.

The lord spent most of his money to invite a legendary wizard to treat his daughter.

This is where the accident happened.

"Foolish mortal."

The wizard showed a contemptuous expression and cast a large-scale necromancy.

He was an evil wizard who specialized in the dead, and his purpose in coming here was not to heal the lord's daughter.

From the beginning to the end, the wizards were playing tricks on the Crawfield family.

Like an ant.

He takes pleasure in mocking ordinary people.

As large-scale necromancy was launched, all the creatures in the aristocratic garden were simultaneously transformed into the dead, and their self-consciousness was forcibly erased.

"But Sylvia is lucky."

As the undead girl said this, the inside of the helmet where her face could not be seen became somewhat silent and lonely.

she said.

Sylvia's parents tried to cure her illness.

Various life-saving medicines were prepared early and piled up next to Sylvia's bed.

The existence of those drugs helped Sylvia alleviate her undead transformation.

Of course, this alone was still not enough to resist the undead transformation. What really helped Sylvia escape was another horrible disaster.

There are more powerful wizards communicating with the underworld.

Triggering a natural disaster of undead spirits all over the world.

One of the outbreak points is within the territory of the Krawfield family.

The collision of the two waves of undead aura, combined with a large amount of life potions, accidentally put an end to Sylvia's undead transformation process.

She became a monster.

The body turned into a complete skeleton.

A monster that retains its own consciousness.

More than half of the face remains, but it is more eerie than if it was not preserved.

By the time the girl regained consciousness, a thousand years had passed and everything she once cherished had become a shadow of time.

The house collapsed and it was difficult to live in.

The territory was deserted, with only villages left.

Loved ones perish and become consciousnessless bones.

"Father?"

"Mother?"

Sylvia tried to awaken her parents' consciousness, but it was in vain. The two skeletons, wearing rotten clothes and with soul fire surging, attacked Sylvia.

Try again and again, work hard again and again.

All he got was a beast-like roar.

And the unconscious, last thoughts before death.

"Kill you... Kill you... Protect... Sevilla"

Finally.

Sylvia raised her sword with trembling hands.

I personally ended my parents' pain and let their souls rest in peace.

She walked out of the decayed mansion, with the body of an undead and a hideous face, and walked once again in the family's territory.

Sylvia wants to protect the remaining living people in this land.

But wherever I go.

Only cries of fear were heard.

"Monster, it's a monster!!"

Sylvia is no longer a shining star in people's eyes.
