Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 38
Xia Houyan flipped through the diary, and sure enough, he found the name "Olivia" in the records of Adrian's youth.

According to the information in the diary, Olivia seems to be a female classmate of Adrian's school at the Mage Academy when she was young, and she is also the object of Adrian's longstanding crush.

However, due to Adrian's overconfidence and restraint as a magical genius, he has never expressed his love to Olivia, but waited for the other party to take the initiative to confess to him...

In the end, Adrian's ending was the same as that of countless poor people who flinched in the face of love: Olivia, who didn't know Adrian's intentions, married a young noble in the imperial capital after graduating from the academy; Simon Adrian, who was an advanced archmage at a young age, but saw that the man he loved was married to someone else's wife, left the Mage Academy in despair, and lived in seclusion in Blackwater Town under the protection of Earl Henry Igor.

What a bloody romance drama!Xia Houyan rolled his eyes.

He can understand why Adrian has such a big resentment for the word "virgin"...

The most absurd thing is that after Olivia died of illness, Adrian even stole her body back to Blackwater Town, and began to conduct necromantic experiments, trying to use magic to bring her sweetheart back to life - needless to say, His necromantic experiments and the leakage of the ghostly magic power that created this infected area are actually rooted in Adrian's childhood wounds!

Ask the world, what is love, and directly teach life and death!
——The lord had a youthful illness, he pretended to sigh, and then he turned the diary back to continue reading.

After starting the necromancer experiment, Adrian's diary became very brief, presumably because he put all his energy into the experiment, and no longer had the space to write a large diary:
"April 190, [-], Imperial Calendar. Failed, the 'resurrection' turned Olivia into a zombie, no, this is wrong, this is not my Olivia..."

"April 190, 21 in the Imperial Calendar. Failed, still a zombie. It hurts my heart to have to re-execute her, but what I want is Olivia who can talk and think..."

"April 190, 23 in the imperial calendar. Failed. How can we restore Olivia's soul?"

"April 190, 26, Imperial Calendar. Failed. Henry Igor somehow heard about my experiment, and came here to persuade me to stop, absurd."

"May 190rd, [-], Imperial Calendar. Failed. Temporarily embalmed Olivia. You must hold out until the day I succeed..."

"May 190, [-] Imperial Calendar. Failed."

"fail."

"fail."

"fail."

……

"April 190, [-], Imperial Calendar. Failed. Maybe, what I need is stronger magic power?"

"May 190th, [-] in the Imperial Calendar. The magic power amplification circuit is completed, and I am about to start the greatest necromancy experiment in history! Henry Igor sent his chief mage to see it, and the old bastard actually Saying that magic power of this scale is dangerous... For Olivia, I can take any risk!"

"May 190th, [-] in the Imperial Calendar. Failed, the leaked ghost magic power infected my heart, I..."

"...Olivia, I'm looking for you."

The diary entry ends here.

Xiahou Yan closed the diary and let out a long sigh, staring at the two skeletons in the center of the magic circle, feeling complicated.

On the other side, Master Laurie has stood up, and the "Illusionary Wrist Wheel" in his hand is flashing red, indicating that the engraving of Adrian's magical rhythm has been completed.

Master Rao Shi was old and had a peaceful mind. At this time, his old face was also filled with uncontrollable joy and pride.

Xia Houyan took the wrist wheel from the master, walked to the corpses of Adrian and Olivia, was silent for a moment, and said:
"Let's bring them back to the ground and find a place to bury them—although the burial is a bit late after 800 years, the majestic eighth-level archmage Simon Adrian should have a decent burial place. "

When the Lord speaks, naturally no one will object.

Lawrence and Chris took the sacks and collected the bones of Adrian and Olivia - due to the age, the bones of the two have been piled up and indistinguishable.

The lord frowned and thought for a while, thinking that since this is the case, it is better to bury them together without separate, which can be considered to satisfy Adrian's wish before his death.

At the same time, Master Laurie stared at a pair of greedy old eyes, and with the assistance of Clement, swept away the various books and materials left by Adrian in this underground corridor.

Xia Houyan did not interfere in the search process of the master, the reason is very simple:
After returning to the camp after a while, he will definitely re-screen the master's harvest in person!
Now that it is agreed that this time the harvest will be divided into five or five, then Xia Houyan can't let Lao Rui, the old man, take the big head;
Wanting to take advantage of the nose of Lord Elliot Igor, the master still owes him decades of Taoism!
After the group packed up, they climbed up the secret well and returned along the original road.

After a long delay in the ground, the sky was a little dark, but when he walked out of Adrian's old house and bathed in the sun again, the death knight Clement still shed tears of excitement!

——This is just a rhetorical device, of course, undead creatures cannot shed tears.

Xiahou Yan rubbed the "Illusory Wrist Wheel" on his wrist, silently watching Lawrence and Chris dug a tomb in the back garden of the old house, and then poured the bones of Adrian and Olivia into it.

After filling the tomb, the death knight Clement, with astonishing strength, moved a slate from the roadside and inserted it into the tomb, which was used as Adrian's tombstone-for a legendary mage, this is undoubtedly a The tomb is too simple, but it is still much stronger than the magic circle of exposing the corpse.

The discerning Master Laurie had already recited the "Rock Removal Spell", stretched out his magic fingers, and was about to carve an epitaph for Adrian with his hands.

The master squatted in front of the tombstone like an old country farmer, looked back at the lord, and asked dryly:

"Write what?"

According to the traditional customs of the empire, the tombstone of the deceased should use one sentence to summarize the trajectory of his life.

Xia Houyan was silent.

Promoted to the eighth-order archmage at a young age, and the most powerful necromancer in the history of the empire, the amazing Simon Adrian definitely deserves any praise!

But in the same way, he was also the culprit who recklessly conducted magic experiments, which led to the leakage of magic power, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and created a huge infection zone!
In the end, Xia Houyan recited slowly according to Shelley's poems in his memory:

"My name is Simon Adrian, Lord of the Nether;

The merits and crimes are unparalleled, the dead surrender! "
