Chapter 52

After staying for a few days, Rex started their journey again.The necromancers have no intention of participating in the war of light and darkness. He has no need to stay here. After all, his main purpose of coming here is to get those things back, not to look at these necromancers. Of course, with his current power, he can also see Can't live with them.

Still four people.

Russell was called by Rex.He said, follow him if you want to know the secret of that crystal.

That crystal was what changed Russell's fate.After becoming a necromancer, he has regretted it, especially after seeing his appearance change. Although he already knew the result when he chose to become a necromancer, but when it really came to this time, he couldn't bear it. live.When he went out again, he was hunted down by monsters, and accidentally ran into a deserted temple, and got the crystal stone that allowed him to be reborn.

What is that, and who does that drop of blood belong to?

He wanted to know, so he followed.

And Gesun relied on it.

It stands to reason that he, a holy knight, shouldn't act together with the dark elves. If someone sees him, he will definitely think that he was tempted and depraved by the dark elves.As for why it wasn't the dark elf who was tempted by him to abandon the dark and turn to the light... No matter how you look at it, it's impossible, right? People call him a big fool...

"Why are you here?" Kyle looked at Gesun with disdain, "You light paladin, what are you doing with us, the teacher is a dark elf, be careful when others say you have fallen."

"It looks interesting where you guys are going, take me there~" Lie down on the ground and hold Kyle's arm, "Besides, paladins are just my profession, I personally don't hate the dark Spiritual."

"Hey, don't rub on me like a puppy, you beat me so much!!!" Kyle pushed the golden head that he hated hard, "You put the face of the light paladin It's gone!!!"

Even the corners of Rex's eyes twitched a little, and he walked away from them quickly.

"Ah! Teacher——! Wait for me!" Kicking the silly big man away, Kyle sprinted to keep up.

"I remember that you yearn for the light camp to win and make great achievements. That kind of fanaticism is not fake." Russell raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes, looking at Gesun with strong contempt for his behavior just now.

"Ah, I'm looking forward to it. Being able to make great achievements is a great event that will be remembered in history. Maybe I can become a person like the great sage Aiwen~" Ge Sen stood up and patted the ashes on his body, imagining such a future , with a smug smile on his face, "However, what does that have to do with me following you, anyway, I'm free now." After speaking, he hurried towards Rex.

It's that kind of fanatical look... Looking at him like this, it's hard to guarantee that it's not for monitoring the necromancer, but if it's monitoring, wouldn't it be better to stay in the dungeon?

In an underground cave, next to a small burning fire, three people were resting, and Kyle had fallen asleep leaning on Rex's body.

There was some noise at the entrance of the cave. Gesun looked up and saw that it was Russell. He greeted him softly, "You're back."

"Yeah." Russell nodded, and sat by the fire.They are still underground in the Death Desert, but unlike the Death Dungeon, this part of the underground area has not been excavated and transformed, but it cannot be said to be safer than the Death Dungeon, although there is no Necromancer setting There are various organs here, but it is dark here, and there are countless dangerous underground creatures.The cave they are in now was originally the cave of an adult spider monster. When they passed by, the spider monster regarded it as an intruder, so after a battle, they naturally occupied the cave as a temporary rest Place. "I took a look outside just now. There is no danger. I have also taken precautionary measures. You can rest assured tonight."

"I can't tell whether it's day or night..." Gesun drooped his head, looked enviously at the exquisite food in Rex's hands, and he was aggrieved at the freshly boiled water. Dry bread in hand.

"We've long been accustomed to living underground, and it's normal to be able to tell the time clearly." Russell said coldly and took out food to replenish his strength.

"...I really envy you guys who have storage rings to store things in." Gesun wept.

"The Church of Light didn't give it to you? Although storage rings and storage bags are not cheap, they should be able to equip you with the financial resources of the Church of Light. You are a paladin..." Russell's voice Getting lower and lower, "Could it be that the Church of Light has become so poor?"

"...The Church of Light is not poor at all!" Gesun explained in a low voice in embarrassment, "I lost my storage bag!" Seeing Russell's expression on his face, Gesun's head was even more serious. Low, angrily biting the dry bread to vent his anger.

After a while of silence, a large package appeared in front of Gesun.

"Put it away, I don't want someone to be unable to fight because of hunger when there is danger." Rex's cold voice made Gesun tremble, and he reacted instantly, took the bag and opened it. There was a lot of dried meat inside, emitting Lightly meaty.

"Thank you~" Ge Sen ate several slices of jerky in a row, shouting that it was delicious, until he was full, with a contented and happy expression on his face.

At this moment, Russell's face changed, and then he closed his eyes, as if he was meditating.

"Two humans broke in." After speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at the entrance of the cave warily, ready to attack at any time.

Hearing this, Gesun quickly wrapped the burden on his back and clenched the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist with his right hand. Rex patted Kyle lightly to wake him up.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, the thinner of the two saw that there were already people in the cave, and looked at them very vigilantly, and immediately shouted, "...No, don't hurt us, we are not bad people!"

"A bad guy won't put 'I'm a bad guy' on his face... This guy is really stupid." Kyle muttered with his mouth curled up.

"I, we are really not bad people, please don't drive us away, there are still monsters chasing us, so we managed to escape here..." The thin man's eyes lit up when he saw Rex, "Dark Elf My lord, please help us. We are merchants in Airy City. We accidentally fell into the ground while transporting goods. Now all the goods are lost, and everyone else was killed by those underground lizards. Please help us! He knelt down on the ground with snot and tears all over his face, and the man standing next to him who was shorter than him also knelt down and begged.

Frowning, Rex let them in and rest for a while.

"How did you escape? The subterranean lizard moves quickly, and its claws and teeth are highly poisonous, so it's impossible for the two of you to escape." Russell looked at them coldly, "Where's the accompanying necromancer? With him around, there's no way you'd fall into the ground."

"This..." Fornia, that is, the thin man narrowed his small eyes, and said with a smile, "Our brothers are not big businessmen, we have a small business, how can we afford to hire a necromancer?" Ah." As he spoke, he touched Fournier, who was standing beside him, with his elbow.

"Yes, yes." Fournier echoed.

"You still want to cross the desert of death without the escort of a necromancer. Are you brave or brainless?" Gesun obviously didn't believe what they said, and grabbed Fornia by the collar, "Say, what on earth do you have?" Purpose!"

"Ah! I say, I say!" Fornia said quickly, "We are for the treasure in the underground!"

Gerson let go of his hand.

Fonia was full of distress. How could he not have noticed this paladin? He has such a strong body and such a big stature. He didn’t notice it just now. Believers of the Goddess of Light might make him feel good, and it wouldn't be what he is now.I really shouldn't think that the dark elf is easy to deceive when I see that child. That dark elf is not a sinister and cunning person. If he is not deceived, he should cheer. He is really stupid to say such nonsense.

Seeing the three adults and one child staring at her, Faunya knew that she couldn't hide it, so she pulled her younger brother up, sat down on the ground, and began to talk about the reasons and consequences of their coming here.

Fornia and Fournier are two brothers. Although they are not related by blood, they are both orphans. They grew up together, and their relationship is better than that of ordinary brothers.Some time ago, the War of Light and Darkness started. Although they live in a remote location and the flames of war have not reached them yet, people are already panicking everywhere.

In order to survive, the two brothers decided to cross the desert of death and go to the other side of the desert. With the desert of death separated, the war must not reach that side, so they prepared a lot of things and set off.

It turned out that they had no way of crossing the desert of death alive.

A narrow escape found them underground, in a temple.They were already terrified at the time, and found themselves breaking into the temple, afraid of being angered by the master of the temple, they panicked and ran into what seemed to be a teleportation array. At that time, they were teleported to their original place of residence.

After they lived in peace for a few days, someone found them and said that they had some powerful magic props on them. It turned out that Fournier took a round bead when he was dragged away by his brother, and That, turned out to be very valuable.

After the people who came to them asked about it, they didn't ask them to sell the beads to themselves, but only asked them to lead the way, saying that they would be rewarded a lot.The two brothers thought, since the temple was deserted, the things inside must be ownerless, and they could get a lot of rewards for leading the way, and maybe they could take the opportunity to cross the desert of death.So the two brothers agreed.

As a result, the facts are never as good as imagined.

They were attacked by monsters, and all the people who led them died, but they survived and fled to Rex and the others.

"It seems that I should let the leader send someone to guard there." Russell showed a remorseful look.

"What did you take from it?" Fornia hurriedly took out the small round bead and handed it over. Rex took it over and looked at it, and then said, "It really is, it seems that you are lucky." Then he returned the pearl to Fornia.

"What's that?" Gesun looked at the round bead that seemed to be polished with crystal and was about the size of his thumbnail. It was pretty, but what was it?

"That thing might not be worth much in the past, but now..." Rex thought for a while, as if he was appraising it, "It's probably worth about 500 gold coins."

"500 gold coins!"

Suddenly there was an exclamation, and even Russell showed an expression of incomparable surprise, and Faunia quickly put the bead into her arms and hugged her chest tightly, for fear that others would snatch it away.

"Hey, what the hell is that..." Gesun, a paladin who prided himself on being strict and self-disciplined, his eyes turned green.But Rex's next words hit them even harder.

"It's a defensive magic tool, with a defensive magic circle engraved inside it, which can resist 3 magical attacks below the forbidden curse and 3 deadly physical attacks. The disadvantage is that it consumes too much magic power. After using it, you want to refill it Magic power is almost impossible." Rex glanced at Fornia and continued, "But the one in his hand is just an imitation, it can only defend against mid-level magic at most, and has little defense against physical attacks, but it is enough for them Escaped from the claws of a subterranean lizard, so it's only worth 500 gold."

"...That's amazing..." Gesun blushed.If they can have this thing, then their life is equal to an extra layer of protection.This is a good life-saving item for people who have faced danger for many years, no matter how expensive it is, someone will buy it.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go~" Kyle exclaimed excitedly.In his opinion, they were all a lot of gold coins, and his saliva flowed out from laughing.

"Don't worry, the temple can't run away. Let's rest first and start tomorrow."
