Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

The guard didn't answer, but just snorted.

"Ah."

"You are sure you can win, right?"

"Well...get ready, it's coming!"

The guard suddenly shouted.

The gathered magic power also shrank rapidly at this moment, and the night became so quiet, like the moment before the explosion.

Emilia immediately activated all her protective gear.

However, one second, two seconds...

A full minute passed.

"No, what about the undead?"

Chapter 20: Undead, but cute

For Emilia, the current situation is a bit strange.

First of all, it was strange that she, as a member of the royal family, appeared in a remote town with a guard to deal with the undead.

This situation is mainly caused by the inheritance system of the Iris Kingdom.

Because of the existence of supernatural powers, the king not only needs political ability, but also needs to master certain supernatural powers. Even if he is not at the top level, he must be a master at least.

Although the royal family can provide the best training resources, this matter cannot be achieved by resources alone, and talent is also required.

This results in a pure system of primogeniture, which makes it difficult to guarantee the selection of a crown prince with both qualified political ability and extraordinary talent.

Therefore, the Iris Kingdom practices a succession system that is a mixture of elective monarchy and hereditary monarchy.

The crown prince is elected, but the candidate must be a member of the royal family.

Royal family members of the same generation would be assigned to different places, such as the army, territories outside the core area of ​​the capital, magic organizations, and even adventure groups to enrich their resumes.

Emilia was sent to the Spellcaster Guild in her generation.

Originally, the Spellcaster Association was a very good place to go, where one could meet many excellent spellcasters and easily achieve results in spells.

However, because the demons have revived in recent years, and the Iris Kingdom's territory is directly adjacent to the demons', there have been many frictions, which has provided a platform for gaining military merit.

In the election of the crown prince, military merit has always been the most useful resume.

So Emilia got anxious.

She was more eager to strengthen her power and do something practical.

Preventing the undead from destroying the town is definitely a heroic act.

In her imagination, this is how it should be.

Jia Xiu was unable to deal with the undead, but was able to protect herself. She brought her guards to the rescue, saving the town and the talented young sorcerer who was struggling to protect himself, winning their loyalty and achieving a big victory.

Jia Xiu was able to deal with the undead, and she failed to save the situation, but it proved that Jia Xiu was not an ordinary super-talented young sorcerer. She gave Jia Xiu a reward for saving the town, a win;

Jaxiu couldn't handle the undead, nor could she protect herself, and she lost a talented warlock, but at least she was able to save Riverwood, a small victory;

In short, it’s just one word.

win!

However, all these ideas are based on one premise, that is, the legendary undead have appeared.

But after a violent surge of magic power, which seemed to be a prelude to the appearance of a super-powerful undead, there was suddenly no movement.

Emilia, who was surrounded by protective spells, looked at the guards.

"That undead should have appeared, right?"

"I'm not sure."

The guard replied that he was an honest soldier and would always say he didn't know something.

"How about I go in and take a look?"

His heavy sword was already coated with sword oil against spirits, and he had the primordial crystal in his bag, so he was confident that he could handle any powerful undead.

"Need not."

Emilia thought for a moment before answering.

"Wait a minute, what if Jia Xiu has controlled that undead? It would be awkward for us to go in now..."

……

At this time, the cave also fell into a strange silence.

Billy stared at the figure on the altar in disbelief.

A short figure, wearing a tattered dark blue robe, dirty leather gloves and boots, with a slightly crooked pointed hat on his head. The big hat was probably half his height, but even including the height of the hat, the total height was less than 1.4 meters.

The exposed part of the face was a dark shadow, with the only facial features being a pair of small yellow eyes.

The eyes blinked, briefly meeting the gaze of the cultists and Jia Xiu, then turned around and walked awkwardly behind the statue.

During the process, he accidentally kicked the candle on the altar and stumbled. He finally reached the statue of the god of fraud and curse and hid behind it in panic. However, his hat was too big and half of it was exposed.

After making sure he had hidden himself inside, he spoke in a voice that pretended to be fierce, but it didn't sound fierce at all, like a little leopard cub trying hard to roar, but it just sounded like a meow.

"I am the most evil, powerful, terrible, bring destruction, no evil... well, no evil is good..."

"He does all kinds of evil." Jia Xiu reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, thank you, the evil fairy Bubu!"

"There's something wrong with you!"

Billy finally couldn't hold it in anymore and roared angrily.

"Shouldn't you be a demon-like undead?"

"That's me." Bubu replied in a low voice.

"What kind of devil are you?! There's no devil named Bubu!"

The faith that had supported Billy for more than twenty years collapsed in an instant.

"It should be a terrifying undead spirit with infinite magical power, whose every move brings disaster and destruction. What's wrong with it? What's wrong with it?"

In order to summon this undead spirit, Billy has given up everything he has, sacrificed eight sacrifices in total, and can no longer return to his normal life.

But after all of this, in the end, this is all I got.

"Oh, I see, I see. This is all a trick by the God of Fraud and Curse."

Billy's condition was like that of a gambler who bet his entire fortune and lost it all. He had gone completely insane.

"Since we can use tourists' faith to deceive the gods, of course the gods can also deceive us. They never intended to summon any powerful undead. Hahahaha, I figured it out..."

Jia Xiu on the side was quite surprised.

Billy finally figured it out. The fraudulent evil god had no intention of summoning the undead from the beginning. Bubu was already sleeping in this cave and was accidentally bumped into and awakened by the interception of faith.

Billy continued to speak: "He never intended to help me destroy Riverwood Town, evil god!"

He picked up a stone and was about to smash the statue of the evil god.

Bubu's little head suddenly popped out from behind the statue.

"You want to destroy Riverwood?"

"Yes, I will destroy Creekwood!" Billy answered at the top of his lungs.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because no one here deserves to live!"

"They did do some wrong things, but they are not devastating. If someone does something bad to you, you should hold that person accountable." Bubu said seriously.

"They all deserve to die!" Billy didn't want to discuss who was responsible now.

"Are you determined to destroy Riverwood? This is the last time I ask."

Billy had no idea what Bub meant by the last question.

"Of course! I will destroy Ximu Town, no matter what the cost! No matter what the method..."

Before Billy could finish his harsh words, his head exploded almost instantly.

Jaxiu had a hard time thinking of another word to describe what was happening in Billy's head.

That is, it bloomed all of a sudden, like fireworks.

The hideous face expanded rapidly, and exploded when it reached its elastic limit. Not a drop of blood splashed out, but it turned into colorful sparks and powder, rising layer by layer in the air, forming a mini mushroom cloud.

What was left of Billy collapsed to the ground like a discarded rag doll.

"Excuse me, are there still any of you who want to destroy Riverwood Town?"

Bubu asked.

It wasn't lying, at least not the part about how powerful it was.

The remaining cultists shook their heads wildly.

Jia Xiu slowly took out a contract from his bag, as well as the knight sword Emilia gave him after she was canonized.

"Fairy Bubu, I, Jia Xiu, am a knight appointed by Her Highness Emilia of the Iris Royal Family. I believe you possess the qualities to be a knight, and I am recruiting you as my squire. From today on, I will train you to become a true knight. Are you willing?"

Bubu's yellow beady eyes blinked, then gradually enlarged.

As a powerful fairy, it has been misunderstood, carried out revenge, and even turned into a ghost, but its wish has never changed.

That's the first line of the nursery rhyme about it.

Poor Bubu, wanting to be a knight.

Chapter 21 Jia Xiu Doesn’t Cheat the Poor

"Is the contract for a knight's squire really that complicated?"
