Fang Zhiyi let out a breath, raised his hand and looked at his palm. The hand that originally belonged to a young man was now dry and peeling. He gently stroked his face, then smiled bitterly.
So this is the price the teacher was talking about.
Perhaps because he no longer posed any threat, or perhaps because the old king wanted to fulfill his promise, Fang Zhiyi was released from prison. With nowhere to go, he walked aimlessly on the street, watching passers-by celebrating. He could vaguely hear words like "Princess Vivian saved the kingdom!" and "Rhine is also a hero!"
Fang Zhiyi didn't expect that they had taken away the glory that originally belonged to him. He was just a corrupt necromancer, wasn't he shameful to be seen?
He went against the crowd and stumbled into the slums, which had been completely destroyed by the orcs. Although there were people here, their faces showed numbness and relief, relief that they were still alive.
Surprisingly, Fang Zhiyi's dilapidated house was still there. Perhaps because it was too remote, it did not attract attention. However, Lily's house not far away was only a pile of broken wood.
Fang Zhiyi lived in his own home. In his heart, he still wanted to see Vivian again, the warmest princess in his memory. But looking at his wrinkled face in the mirror, he knew that all this was delusion.
But Vivian came to see him, she was still so gentle.
She talked in low voices with Fang Zhiyi, and finally left with joy.
From that day on, the shadows of the undead would appear in the kingdom from time to time. Although they did not cause any substantial harm to the people, they were enough to cause panic. Vivian repeatedly used her light magic to disperse these dark creatures, and her name became more and more famous day by day.
Soon after, he heard that Vivian won a large number of votes in the election, defeated his good-for-nothing brother, and successfully became the first queen of the kingdom.
Fang Zhiyi was in a complicated mood. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. However, he was satisfied to be able to help Vivian.
Not long after, the old king died quietly.
Soon news came out that the one who killed the old king was a necromancer, the kind of evil wizard who kept company with the dead. Because the Mage Association found a skull pendant containing the power of the undead in the king's hand.
Fang Zhiyi, who knew nothing about the outside world, pushed open the door and saw countless figures with anger and fear in their eyes. In the front was Rhine and his knights, surrounded by some mages in robes.
"This is..." Fang Zhiyi didn't understand what was going on, but Rhine began to judge him.
Listening to the impassioned accusation, Fang Zhiyi's heart gradually sank cold. Even though he did not resist, those people still surrounded him cautiously. He thought he was dead, but Vivian's arrival stopped everything.
"We cannot wrongly accuse any citizen without evidence, even if he lives in the slums." Vivian was emitting the aura of light magic at this moment, making her look like a saint.
After some gentle persuasion, whether civilians, wizards or knights, they all showed respect to Vivian. What a kind and fair princess she was. Even when facing an evil necromancer, she was still so warm.
The kingdom's knights and mages left.
The angry people looked at Fang Zhiyi's house with suspicion.
