Chapter 1015: Chapter 629: The Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes and the Necromancer_2 Chapter 1015: Chapter 629: The Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes and the Necromancer_2 “Indeed, that is the case, my lord.”
Lina, looking as if she had done sothing wrong, lowered her head and said, “Originally, my master warned that this third spell can only be used in dire circumstances. With my ability, I can only manage to keep these undead monsters from running rampant, but I am unable to entirely dispel them.”
“Under these circumstances, the only solution I could think of is to reduce the number of the undead as much as possible. After so ti repeating this, they will eventually be eliminated completely.”
With another gentle sigh, Lina continued, “After all, for ordinary people, these monster corpses are far too terrifying. If innocent people or small animals were to be injured, or even die because of them, I would be guilt-ridden for the rest of my life.”
“So that’s how it is. With this explanation, the matter makes much more sense.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s face took on an expression of dismay and he spoke helplessly, “To think this person is really a necromancer. Anyone who didn’t know better might mistake her for a Holy-Light Priest saving the wounded and dying.”
Following this, Leo Ray’s features again revealed a mix of confusion and solemnity.
According to her explanation, her master’s strength had evidently reached the Tier 5 Level.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for such a masterful hidden defence to be set up.
For the security of the territory and his subordinates, it is best that he thoroughly investigates this matter.
“Taylor, for now, let her down, just suppress the flow of magic within her.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray nodded to the burly man standing in front of him.
“As you wish, Sir.”
Taylor obeyed, placing the female necromancer, who had been lifted like a kitten, back on the ground.
“Thank you, my lord.”
Once her feet touched the ground, Lina’s tense expression eased considerably, and she thanked Leo Ray repeatedly.
However, due to her petite stature, which was shorter than Taylor’s waist, she remained immobile, still being held in control by the towering Taylor, who was squatting down.
“Alright, tell about your master.”
Nodding at the young female necromancer in front of him, Leo Ray still wore a poker face as he asked, “If I find out you’re lying, I won’t rule out turning you into a real companion for those monster bones.”
“I dare not lie. My master taught that one lie requires countless more lies to cover up. Also, lying can make you lose friends, although I don’t have any friends yet.”
Lina looked earnest but also a bit desolate.
After a pause, Lina began to speak again, “My master’s na is Fleming Ken, he is a great human necromancer!”
“Fleming Ken?”
Upon hearing this familiar na, Ariel Watson, standing next to Leo Ray, couldn’t help but look puzzled, “Isn’t he one of the Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes from over five hundred years ago?”
“Indeed he is.”
The other one, holding a holy sword, Joshua nodded slightly and said, “Moreover, it seems that among the various human countries, there has never been another necromancer with the sa na.”
“But, according to the legend and songs, wasn’t Fleming a great summoner? How did he end up a necromancer?”
Ariel Watson, her delicate face filled with even more doubt, asked out loud.
“Maybe, the legends and our imaginations don’t align.”
Gently stroking his own stubble, mused, “When I was a novice rcenary, I once heard a veteran of the rcenary world ntion that one of the Nine Heroes, Fleming, really was a necromancer.”
“However, because the reputation of necromancers is notorious, and it doesn’t match the image of heroes people have in their minds, this made the later texts describe him as a summoner.”
After saying this, shrugged his shoulders slightly and added, “These are all things the veteran rcenary said while drunk. At that ti, no one believed his wild tales, but now it seems, it might not be hearsay after all.”
“Did you say dragon slaying? My master indeed once told about his youthful experiences of slaying dragons with his companions.”
A look of contemplation appeared on Lina’s wheat-colored cheeks. “However, back then, I was just a blade of grass, and so mories are a bit unclear.”
“A blade of grass, what a peculiar description.”
Hearing her evasive words, Leo Ray pondered briefly and asked, “So, it seems your ntor is still alive?”
“Indeed, sir,” Lina responded with a slight nod to Leo Ray. “It’s because my ntor plans to roam the world again and can’t continue to guide , so I started training on my own.”
“I see, but isn’t it inappropriate to describe a notorious necromancer as ‘great’?”
Leo Ray scrutinized the female necromancer in front of him and asked indifferently.
“My ntor was indeed a great necromancer. She even saved my entire clan once.”
A serious expression imdiately erged on Lina’s face. “Perhaps you’re unaware,” she began, “but within the necromancers, there are actually two subdivisions.”
“The first is what we commonly refer to as ‘Controllers of Humans.’ These necromancers specialize in attacking human and humanoid races to strengthen their own cultivation and are adept at maneuvering skeleton warriors.”
“The second subdivision consists of the ‘Controllers of Beasts,’ whose numbers are significantly fewer. Unlike the first subdivision, these necromancers specialize in commanding the corpses of demon beasts and, during their training, they only target the ferocious demon beasts that assault the innocent, never hurting innocents!”
As she spoke, a touch of pride appeared on Lina’s wheat-colored face. She continued, “My ntor and I belong to this second subdivision.”
“There’s actually such a distinction.”
Gazing at her proud face, Leo Ray nodded slightly and turned his attention to the muscular priest, who stood deferentially nearby.
As a dark healer, he was unquestionably the most knowledgeable mber of the team about taboo skills.
Noticing Leo Ray’s questioning glance, Gideon Black understood, stepped forward, bowed, and whispered to Leo Ray, “My lord, I have heard that among necromancers, a select few can control demon beast bones. The strongest among them can even manipulate the bones of the dragon clan to fly freely in the sky.”
After a pause, Gideon Black adjusted his gold-rimd glasses and added, “Also, I have a slight understanding of the thods of cultivation used by necromancers. From what I can sense, her words seem truthful.”
“I see.”
Leo Ray thought for a mont, then instructed the muscular priest, “Gideon, go verify the veracity of her words.”
“As you command, my lord.”
Gideon bowed gracefully to Leo Ray. A cold light refrected from his glossy glasses as he slowly walked towards the necromancer.
anwhile, Ariel Watson stepped forward and said to Leo Ray with disbelief, “My lord, I can’t believe Fleming, one of the Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes who was active in various human countries over five hundred years ago, is still alive.”
After a pause, Ariel opened her delicate lips and whispered to Leo Ray, “My lord, if it turns out to be true, this female necromancer might help us et this fad dragon-slaying hero known throughout the human nations.”
“By then, we might be able to find news about Half-elf Qiana, who was also one of the Nine Heroes.”
As she said this, an expectant look appeared on Ariel Watson’s fair face.
“You have a point.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
It goes without saying that Half-elf Qiana was from the sa half-elf tribe that once served the Coldfla Royal Family.
Although subsequent Coldfla kings expelled this tribe, which had made significant contributions to the Coldfla Kingdom, their whereabouts have been lost since then.
However, so successors of the Coldfla Royal Family intended to find these half-elf heroes who had once fought alongside the Heroic King, and restore their honor. Ariel Watson was included in this group.
Just as these thoughts crossed Leo Ray’s mind,
Under the resplendent moonlight, Gideon had finished his detection, and elegantly walked over.
