Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

"Horse, riding horse, where is your horse? Your horse is gone?"

"what?"

……

After trying for a long time, I communicated with Hays but to no avail.

Jia Xiu sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's walk. Fortunately, I have gained some physical strength. Come, follow me, follow me, follow me, I will take you home. Hey, don't turn that way, you'll hit the tree!"

Looking at Hannah who was chiseling a tree, Jia Xiu felt a little depressed. He couldn't walk properly at all.

But this didn't bother him, he still had a plan B...

……

At noon, at the Lord's Mansion in Ximu Town.

The Baron was pacing anxiously about the room.

Although Hays was not a son that satisfied him, he was still his son after all.

He didn't come back all night, I'm afraid something must have happened.

Sent someone to look for him, but there's still no news.

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed in, "Master, Master! The young master has been found!"

"How is it? Are you still alive?"

"Alive, still alive."

It was clearly something worth celebrating, but the housekeeper didn't show any joy on his face.

The baron also noticed something strange and asked, "What happened?"

"Um...it's hard to explain, sir. You should come with me to take a look."

Soon, at the door of the lord's mansion, the baron saw his second son.

Although he was very reluctant to admit that this was his son, it was indeed Hays.

A lot of people had gathered nearby to watch the fun. In the center was Jia Xiu, who was holding a rope in his hand, with the other end tied to Hannah's hands.

At this moment, Hannas had a wooden stick tied to his head with a piece of bread hanging in front of the stick. He was stretching his neck to reach for the bread, and from time to time he made "Abba, Abba" sounds from his mouth.

Just judging from the innocent smile on his face, this Hays, who only cares about pursuing bread, might be "happy" now.

Soon after, the bards of Riverwood began to sing a "healing" story about a warlock collaborating with the Vatican's Punishment Knights to help the nobles regain their simple happiness...

Chapter 19 The Legendary "Evil" Undead

Counting money is always a joy.

Jia Xiu counted the 120 crowns given by the Baron and put them together with the bonus given by Margaret before into the cabinet rented from the association.

I feel a little excited when I think about the fact that there are still a lot of gold coins left from the cultists.

The cult cave escape has become a well-known tourist attraction in Ximu Town.

There was no need for Jia Xiu to coordinate, as many small stalls selling food, drinks and souvenirs had "naturally grown" outside the cave.

As for the 120 crowns given by the Baron, it was a little less than what Margaret gave, but it was already the highest price the Baron could offer.

The Baron of Ximu Town is notoriously stingy.

Moreover, this town is not a wealthy place. Although it is somewhat famous in tourism, the tourism industry at that time has not yet developed to the point where anything in the scenic area can make a lot of money.

Compared with the nobles who own gold and silver mines in their territories, the gap between the barons and them is even greater than the gap between the common people in the town and the barons.

Even this 120 includes the price of hush money.

The Baron still has to save face. It is too shameful that a cult member of his family was caught by the Vatican and had his brains cut off, leaving him stupid.

In order to save the family's reputation, he fine-tuned a completely new version of the story of Hays.

Hans, a righteous young man and an excellent knight's squire, discovered the hidden cult in Ximu Town and decided to destroy this threat. Unfortunately, his strength was limited and he was no match for the cultists and was corrupted by the evil god. In this desperate moment, he resolutely summoned the Holy See to punish the knights, but unfortunately he was too deeply corrupted and could only accept the purification of the Holy See.

Unfortunately, not many people believe this story.

Everyone in the town knew who Hayes was, so they preferred to listen to the healing stories sung by the bard.

Jia Xiu didn't think the money the baron gave him was too little, because it was all free money for him anyway.

Besides, he had already made enough money from Hays.

After submitting all the papers on brain purification to resist various temptations, you will gain hundreds of experience points.

[Current Experience: 1750/2700]

It’s not that far from LV.4.

The system has strong opinions about these papers.

The first few articles were just low ratings, the later ones were simply “?”, and the last few were simply refused to be rated.

It seems that there is a limit to the tolerance for malicious water papers.

While making money and producing academic garbage, he never gave up preparing for the exam.

Jia Xiu has finished all the papers and reference books sent by Margaret.

I summarized the wrong questions several times.

In the end, there was nothing left to do, so he asked Margaret for some papers through the crystal ball.

This shocked the young tutor who was far away in Larven. She had never seen a student who practiced so hard on the questions.

In order to confirm that Jia Xiu was not fooling around, she arranged time for a real-time communication and gave Jia Xiu questions on the spot.

Then she received a "little" test shock from Jia Xiu.

She didn't even have to finish asking the questions. As soon as she finished asking half of them, Jia Xiulian could already answer what type of questions they were and what points they would test.

Looking at Margaret's confused expression in the crystal ball, Jia Xiu smiled slightly.

He was trained in "Exam Hell".

From 6 to 11 o'clock every day, with two days off per month, high intensity every day, weekly tests, monthly exams, midterm exams and final exams, big and small, all the time.

Just a few dozen papers and two reference books, not divided into subjects, were not enough for him to finish in a month.

I asked Margaret for some more papers, not to fill in any gaps, but simply to practice writing some every day and keep the feel for answering questions.

This is experience.

Examinations require not only knowledge and intelligence, but also proficiency.

According to Margaret, Jia Xiu's current level does not need to be improved at all. If he is taken to the exam directly, he will be a strong contender for the top spot in the written test.

After finishing Hays and preparing for the written exam, Jia Xiu only had one issue left to focus on in Ximu Town.

High-value research targets.

Goblin undead Bubu.

……

late at night.

The stronghold of the cult of the God of Deception and Curse.

Jia Xiu and several cultists led by Billy appeared in front of the altar.

A vague shadow flickered on the altar's magic circle, and the ritual of summoning the undead came to the last and most crucial step.

Release the undead.

Billy's excitement was beyond words. His ears were red with excitement, his whole face was trembling, and his eyes were full of madness.

For him, more than twenty years of patience and waiting, all ended today.

Seeing him like this, Jia Xiu, who was standing by, was afraid that his blood pressure would be too high and he would faint.

The last time I saw such an expression was in Kakegurui.

No, can a human really make this weird expression?

"Senior," Billy turned and asked Jia Xiu, "Shall we leave the final step of the ceremony to you?"

That being said, Billy's behavior didn't seem like he was going to let Jia Xiu complete the final step.

He stared at Jia Xiu with his eyes wide open, and was ready to fight him to the death if he dared to answer "yes".

Although Jia Xiu was not afraid of fighting with Billy, because none of the cultists here could withstand a single healing spell, he had no intention of completing the ritual himself.

"Just do it, Billy. This is an important moment in your life."

"Of course, of course it should be done by me."

After saying that, Billy walked towards the altar tremblingly, cut his palm with the obsidian ritual knife, drew a rune with blood, and muttered something.

"God of Fraud and Curse..."

A prayer was recited in a strange and hoarse voice, and an evil wind surged from nowhere in the cave. The surging magic power quickly gathered with the altar as the center. The ritual props in the magic circle trembled and shattered because they could not withstand the pressure of the energy.

"Come down into the world, vengeful spirit of curse and destruction!"

……

At the same time, outside the cave, a few hundred meters away.

Her Highness Emilia, with her golden hair, stared nervously at the cave.

She could already feel the surge of magic power; the undead spirit was indeed as powerful as the guards had said.

The guards at this time were no longer the same as when they came here for tourism before.

Now he was wearing heavy armor, holding a heavy sword as wide as a door panel, and was surrounded by light, which was the result of multiple blessings.

With the blessing, his body became exceptionally strong and tall.

If Jashuu saw the guard in this state, he would definitely exclaim "Astarte!"

The gathering magic power grew larger and larger, and Emilia couldn't help but become nervous.

She asked, "It's about to appear, right?"
