Guild Boss's Ambition

Xuanxun!

It was then that I realized there was an ice crystal on the bar counter that had not melted for a long time. There was no doubt that this was a magical derivative used for eavesdropping. Because of the fight between him and me, the entire bar was now covered with a large number of similar ice crystals. If it didn't take a lot of time, it would be impossible to clean them up.

This way, my plan is really in trouble!

Even though he's a fool, Xuan Xun is a genuine ice wizard! Although he may not understand mind magic, as a fellow spellcaster, if I do something inappropriate in front of him, there is a real danger that he will see through me. In short, this half-dragon must not appear at tomorrow's diagnosis time!

As soon as I thought about it, I showed my daughter's impatience and said coldly to the ice crystal in my palm: "Xuan Xun? You, an idiot, want to step into my house? Dream on! If I find you coming uninvited tomorrow, I will summon the Undead Knight to chop you into pieces! Attacking illegal intruders is legal!"

I quickly kicked Xuan Xun out of Miss Lan Nong's entourage list.

However, Berlani, who was thought to pose no threat to the plan, suddenly had a decisive influence. With just a few words, she pulled Xuan Xun back in: "No, that idiot will be useful if he stays."

Although I don't know how Xuanxun feels about being called a fool, I really can't find a reason to kick him out without being awkward. As a platinum-level wizard, Xuanxun will have some knowledge of various magical fields. If he is unlucky, he might be able to remove the amnesia magic I cast on Miss Lannong...

"Okay, let him come with us." I had no choice but to agree.

At this time, the same little boy came out of the stone house again. This time, he did not give the letter to Miss Lan Nong, but handed Xuan Xun's letter to me. Under the suspicious gazes of the two poster girls, I opened the letter and took a look. The arrogant words in it almost made me have a heart attack: "To the necromancer with vulgar taste..."

"I don't know what evil intentions you have for the beautiful Miss Lannon, but as long as I exist, your conspiracy will never succeed. Hehe, now the wise Miss Berlane has formed a common front with me. Under our joint supervision, you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise, the half-dragon's ice will make you miserable!"

raging!

I used a will-o'-the-wisp to burn this protest letter, which had no social value, into ashes. At the same time, I became more determined to legally dissect this idiot half-dragon!

"Miss Bai Ye?" "..."

In the confused eyes of the two poster girls, I smiled calmly and said frankly: "That idiot seems to think that I, a necromancer, am a bad guy who does all kinds of evil. He thinks that I have other intentions by approaching Miss Lannong."

Hearing this, Miss Lan Nong just scratched her face and did not completely stand on my side: "But Miss Bai Ye, your identity is indeed very easy to be misunderstood. It is not impossible to understand why Xuan Xun is so wary of you."

"Yeah, who told me I'm a necromancer?"

I felt depressed and shrugged my shoulders. With a bad mood, I said goodbye to both of them and went back to my room to rest.

9. Lawful Evil Necromancer (White Night)

(white night)

Does eternal life really exist?

If both the body and the soul become immortal, does that mean true eternal life?

Why would the gods allow us to possess something and then take it away through death?

Why, why was I born into this world?

Why, why am I so afraid of death?

Why did she have to die?

God, where are you?

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”

The promised knock on the door broke into my thoughts, helping me to free myself from those unsolvable questions. I opened my eyes, which were not used to getting up early, and said to the people outside the door: "Welcome in, the door is not locked."

Click!

The door opened and someone came in.

"Good morning, Sister Bai Ye."

The first person to come in was Miss Lannong, who was tempting people to do evil.

"..."

Next is the quiet Branny.

"Evil necromancer, I have come as promised!"

Finally, there are the extra half-dragons.

I rolled my eyes, cursing the nosy mammal reptile in my heart, pointed to the two neatly arranged chairs on the side, and said, "Good morning, everyone. Ladies, please take a seat, and gentlemen, please stand."

Xuan Xun, that shameless guy, didn't mind at all despite being treated unfairly by me. He snapped his fingers and condensed a rich man's ice crystal throne next to the two seats. He simply treated my place as his own doghouse!

Seeing his rogue face, I was immediately furious: "You'd better not make my room full of melted snow water, otherwise I will definitely drain you dry! Make you into my first half-dragon specimen!"

"Oh oh! The terrible necromancer has finally revealed his true nature!" He was not afraid and shouted with a grin.

I didn't respond, but summoned my black iron skull from my bone spirit ring and took a fighting stance. For me, who wanted to explore the memories of the little poster girl, if I could use necromancy to blast this shameless half-dragon out of the room, I would definitely do it immediately and without mercy! It would be best if it was an accidental killing, and his body could be recycled -

Probably because she was afraid that we would demolish the house, Miss Lan Nong was busy trying to stop the fight: "Alright, alright, Sister Bai Ye, calm down first! Mr. Xuan Xun, please stop provoking me! I'm here to see a doctor today, not to judge the duel between you two!"

Since the patient had spoken, I, the attending doctor, had to cooperate appropriately. I stopped the chanting of the undead bomb, put the black iron skull back into the ring, and returned to the topic: "Forget it, for the sake of Miss Lan Nong, I will not bother with a certain reptilian idiot for the time being. Come, before we officially start the diagnosis, how about we have a cup of flower tea?"

"Thank you, Sister Bai Ye." Miss Lan Nong is a polite and good child.

"..."Blanny remained silent.

"Flower tea? It shouldn't be poison, right?" The male half-dragon was still annoying, but his suspicion was not completely unreasonable. There were indeed several kinds of tea leaves in my bone spirit ring that could kill people without them being noticed, and the sleeping chrysanthemum I was using now did have a slight hypnotic effect. However, I had prepared reasonable explanations for all of this.

I frankly explained the contents of the cup of tea: "This is a tea made with sleeping chrysanthemums. It has a calming effect. If you drink too much, you will want to sleep. At the same time, it will make it easier for me to examine Miss Lan Nong's mind and make a correct diagnosis."

Of course, that would also make it easier for me to invade her memory.

"Is it really that simple?" Xuan Xun continued to question me.

I rolled my eyes and spoke directly with data and facts: "I, Bai Ye, have lived in the Alliance of Light for forty-six years, and have never violated any law so far. I have not even embezzled a single penny I found on the street. In terms of abiding by the law, you, a half-dragon noble who often stirs up trouble, seem to be far inferior to me!"

"We have no way to verify it anyway, so you can just describe yourself as a saint with great compassion!"

"You can go to the police station to verify it yourself."

Although Xuanxun has been questioning me, my lovely Miss Lannong still drank a whole cup of sleeping chrysanthemum without any precautions, while Berlane just took a sip symbolically. I don’t know if she is simply resisting this flower tea or is cautiously guarding against me, but so what? As long as Miss Lannong is willing to believe me, it’s fine.

"Okay, now please, Miss Lannong, lie halfway on my bed and try to relax your body and mind."

I let Miss Lannong lie on the bed. At this time, my once magnificent room had made great sacrifices to accommodate the tastes of ordinary mortals and became an ordinary girl's boudoir. In this space with soft colors, Miss Lannong no longer felt the nervousness she had when she first came here, and she climbed obediently onto the high bed and soft pillows I prepared for her.

And what happens next is the main topic of today.

After a whole night of deep thought yesterday, I finally decided to take the risk and invade Miss Lannong's memory!

First of all, I don't have many opportunities to come into contact with Miss Lannong openly. If I can't show the possibility of helping the little poster girl regain her memory today, then President Ehard and the others may look for someone else. By then, I, an amateur psychic mage, will probably be thrown aside, and it will be difficult for me to have close contact with this experimental subject again.

Secondly, just like the last autopsy, my forced intrusion into the memory of an unknown creature is a legally permitted act.

Even if I am exposed by Xuanxun on the spot, the most I will do is to get into trouble with the law. As long as I spend money to hire a better defense lawyer, I believe I will definitely be acquitted by the court. Compared with the precious memories in Miss Lan Nong's mind, this risk is really light.

Finally, my curiosity was already thirsty!

"Very good, just lie down like this and close your eyes..."

I put on a smile softer than cotton, and used an ethereal and long tone of voice to help Miss Lannong relax slowly. Realizing that the treatment process seemed to have officially begun, both Blanny and Xuanxun cooperated and held their breath. The whole room suddenly became very quiet, with only the sound of cicadas coming from the distance outside the window. This was the most suitable atmosphere for a nap.

U...lu...

With the help of the medicinal effect of sleeping chrysanthemum, the little poster girl soon began to snore just like her name, a soft, cute and defenseless snoring sound. Her weak posture of being at the mercy of others made my heart beat violently, and I almost habitually revealed a greedy smile in front of the two audiences.

"Well, let me see what your memory holds..."

I gently placed my hand on the head of the little poster girl, and used my heart to move the pulse of her soul. Gradually, I synchronized my thoughts with Miss Lannong. I told myself to be calm, as calm as I was in sleep, and then the girl's dream slowly appeared in my field of vision.

The girl dreamed that she was humming a little tune and counting gold coins at the bar of the stone house. This was an action she always liked. Counting money gave her a sense of accomplishment. I believe she really wanted to have this happy dream forever. However, what I wanted was not her illusory dream, but the memories and knowledge of her past. Therefore, I was worried again...

I sank, sinking to the hub of a certain memory.

The first scene was a tranquil scene of a forest. At this moment, the owner of the memory looked at her hands and was a little shocked. After a while, she walked to the bank of a lake and lowered her head to see her own reflection in the green water. It was a delicate and pretty face, a face that belonged to Miss Lan Nong, but the owner of the memory was confused by it.

The following memories were a bit loose and confusing, until a Fiery Tiger appeared, the picture became clear again. For some reason, this magical beast did not harm the owner of the memory, but behaved very kindly. But just when the two were getting along in a friendly manner, a reckless female knight suddenly rushed out and started a fierce battle with the Fiery Tiger.

Well, that female knight is none other than President Ehard.

She was defeated ridiculously, but before she was on the verge of death, the owner of the memory stopped the wounded Fiery Tiger and used two bottles of red potions to heal the injuries of both...

and many more?

Red potion? Where did that potion come from?

……

……

10. A Terrible Vision (White Nights)

(white night)

I tried to find relevant information about the medicine bottle in the little poster girl's memory, but the more I searched, the more I felt that her memory was extremely strange. Apart from having no memories before the Panlong Forest, the rest of her memories seemed to have been carefully carved by someone else, and there were a lot of unnatural interruptions. Could it be that besides me, someone else has modified her memory?

"hateful!"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel angry that my property was illegally occupied by others, so I went in and out of Miss Lan Nong's memories more quickly, trying to find out if Miss Lan Nong had ever come into contact with any strange people. But before I could find the bastard, an unfamiliar word caught my attention.

"HP? What the hell is that?"

My thoughts stagnated on this word. Years of research experience told me that this strange thing called "HP" was very likely a professional term in a certain field. Perhaps because my keen intuition violated a taboo, my mental contact with Miss Lan Nong was suddenly interrupted, followed by a horrible backlash!

The backlash was an absolute force.

It is so powerful that it seems to be the law itself.

“Ahh—”

When I opened my eyes and returned to the real world, my throat felt sweet and I spat out a mouthful of red blood.

Seeing this, Berlani stood up and came over to support me, preventing me from falling to the ground. Even Xuanxun, who had always been suspicious of me, showed rare concern: "Hey, what's wrong with you? You want to learn to be a doctor without even mastering mental magic? Why did you suddenly create a spell that backfired?"

As he said that, Xuan Xun cast a [Blessing of Ice] on me, alleviating a lot of my pain.

"no……"

I looked at the girl sleeping peacefully in the bed with fear in my eyes and explained the situation half-truthfully.

"That wasn't a backlash of magic, but someone tampered with the little guy's soul. When I tried to connect those broken memories together, that terrible force suddenly attacked me. It was definitely capable of killing me on the spot, but fortunately, it seemed to just want to expel me..."

After briefly explaining the situation, I quickly took out the expensive dark holy water from the bone spirit ring. Originally, I just used it as a first aid item during adventure missions. However, the impact I received this time was unexpectedly heavy. If I can't get treatment as soon as possible, I believe that this body will definitely be left with troublesome hidden diseases in the future!

However, the most serious damage is not to my flesh and blood, but to my soul. I can feel that my soul was blasted away by that force, leaving only a quarter of it intact. The rest has become scattered and broken. What's even more hateful is that there is still no cure for these soul-level damages in the world today. I can only wait for them to slowly recover on their own...

"I really lost a lot this time!"

I used up the dark holy water, and waited until my injuries were completely healed. I finally calmed down a little, and then I warned Berlane and Xuan Xun: "The restrictions in Miss Lannong's memory are very powerful. Not only will they attack the body, but they will also invade the target's soul. If you are not a legendary psychic wizard, just touching it will cause great damage to your soul!"

"Legendary psychic magician? Even if we search the entire Alliance of Light, we can't find a few!" Xuan Xun said while biting his finger. Looking at his distressed look, he really cares about Miss Lan Nong.

In order to prevent others from treating Miss Lannong's amnesia, I further explained the risks involved.

"If a person's soul becomes weak due to damage, his mental strength will be greatly reduced. Before the soul recovers naturally, the effect of the caster's spell will also decrease simultaneously with his mental strength. Take myself as an example. I will probably only have the strength of silver level in the next few months."

"Thank you, Bai Ye." Blanny stood up and bowed to me to express her gratitude.

I accepted her grateful smile without blushing, waved my hands, and said, "It's okay. After all, no one could have expected such a horrible situation to occur from a simple diagnosis. It was an accident."

"But who left this restriction on Miss Lan Nong?" Xuan Xun asked with a frown.

"I'm not sure either." I replied regretfully.

Faced with this lack of clues, the three of us fell into a long silence.

After the experiment just now, I have completely given up the idea of ​​reading Miss Lannong's memory. After all, there is no need for me to risk my life to pursue a memory of unknown value. It is not cost-effective.

"It's time to change the plan."

As I was thinking this, Xuan Xun beside me slapped his thigh as if he had thought of something, and asked me solemnly: "Bai Ye, do you mean that as long as it is a legendary mind wizard, he can help Miss Lan Nong recover her memory?"

I was stunned by his serious look, and after a while I answered, "No, I just suggest that we at least ask a legendary psychic mage for help. The power of the restriction is almost like an absolute law. Even a legendary psychic mage may not be able to do anything about it."

"Is the restriction really that powerful?" Xuan Xun frowned.

"You don't want to try it yourself." Thinking back to the power of the ban, my heart began to beat again.

He nodded, looked at Miss Lan Nong who was still sleeping, and made up his mind: "Okay, since you said it was so dangerous and terrifying, I will go back and ask the Tree of Life if anyone knows a master of the psychic system. If they still can't handle it, I will go back to Dragon Island to see if the old guys have any solution. This world is so big, I don't believe that there is no one who can deal with this restriction!"

Looking at Xuan Xun who was determined not to give up, I unconsciously wanted to hit him: "You and Miss Lan Nong have only known each other for a few days. Even if you try hard to help her, you may not have a chance to win her favor──"

The half-dragon suddenly became angry and shouted in a low voice: "Humph! How can I, Xuanxun, be the vulgar person you say? Everyone has compassion. I helped Miss Lannong today out of my own heart. Why should I force a return for my kindness? Besides, love is not something that can be measured by fame, wealth and money. If you only get a person's body but not her heart, what is the meaning of such a relationship?"

I couldn't help but laugh at his declaration, but also felt sad. He reminded me of a person, a fool who caused me to fall to this point, a relationship that only cared about giving without asking for anything in return. Perhaps, human emotions are part of the truth. They are so noble and charming, so illusory, and people can never find half the answer...
