Chapter 24: Unexpected Obstruction
Chapter 24: Unexpected Obstruction
This sudden voice stunned me on the spot.
And just as I was in a daze, I suddenly saw Regulus raise his magic staff.
Seeing this scene, I immediately came to my senses. I hurriedly told Regulus to stop casting his fireball spell.
Then, I recalled the human's attitude towards undead. I stopped Regulus and squatted down.
Just as I squatted down, I heard another voice.
"Why did you come to this place for this mission? And that small house..."
? ? ?
Small house? Was it the small house I was staying in?
When I heard that it might be related to me, I immediately pricked up my ears and listened carefully.
At this moment, another person's voice sounded from behind the stone.
"Don't ask too much about the mission. Also, you have to know that this place is very strange. Let me tell you, I heard that there are often some strange things in this place..."
"Really? I saw the badge on the carriage. The patterns on it are so complicated, it must be a noble. If it's really that dangerous, those noble lords would definitely pay for us poor people to die. Why would they take the risk to come here personally?"
"You don't know that, right? Let me tell you. This time, it's because in the battlefield of Gods, someone discovered..."
The voice became softer and softer.
In the end, I couldn't even hear it clearly.
However, this matter might be related to me. I still tried my best to move my body towards that direction.
* Ka-la-*
Unexpectedly, I accidentally crushed a rock under my foot.
After the rock shattered, an ear-piercing sound immediately rang out.
"Who? Who's there?"
The person on the other side of the rock immediately asked in a stern voice.
I knew that I couldn't let them see my appearance. I also couldn't let them see the two people beside me, Regulus and the Knight King, who were obviously undead.
Thus, I hurriedly threw the struggling lizard out of my hand.
* smack -- *
The lizard regained its freedom and immediately fled in a panic.
The two people behind the rock picked up their weapons and looked in the direction of the sound with vigilant expressions.
However, when they saw that there was only a lizard running out from behind the rock, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing, so it's a lizard..."
After hearing the voices of the two people, I hid myself even deeper. I was afraid that these two people would discover me.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go back first. This place is too close to the battlefield of the gods."
"Indeed, the battlefield of the gods is really too strange. This time, a lizard appeared. Next time, a giant dragon might appear..."
"..."
The two of them were interrupted and gave up on their plans to continue chatting. They turned around and left.
I, who was hiding in the dark, watched the two of them leave.
I thought to myself. From what I heard from these two people, there were quite a number of people who had come along with them. Their target was the battlefield of the gods, and there were also some nobles with high statuses along with them...
The battlefield of the gods was not a good place. In the memories of Regulus, this was a place where people could die at any time. Moreover, it was also recorded in the [ Records of Anecdotes ] that the battlefield of the gods was a forbidden place on the continent, and it was very dangerous.
These nobles were usually very afraid of death, but this time, they actually came to this place personally. Could it be that something extraordinary had appeared on the battlefield of gods? It had attracted these guys who didn't get up early for nothing.
However, according to their personalities... Those nobles must have hired many experts as guards.
Hmm... The leader should at least be a great mage who had just started as a magister.
When I thought about these guys wandering around, I couldn't help but feel a wave of panic.
After all, I wasn't just an undead creature: a zombie. I was also an intermediate necromancer who had almost become an advanced mage.
Either of my two identities meant that I was the mortal enemy of humanity.
If I encountered these people somewhere...
An intermediate necromancer versus a mage who was at least at the level of a Magister...
I would definitely die on the spot.
After I realized the severity of the situation, I wanted nothing more than to run and hide somewhere.
After all, the people of this world were too dangerous for zombies and necromancers.
I originally thought that I would be able to have a long period of growth in the battlefield of gods. Who knew that I would encounter such a situation right after I recovered enough to control of my second undead.
'I'd better go out and hide for a few days!'
I couldn't hold back this thought once it appeared in my mind.
After all, it wasn't my style to insist on staying outside despite knowing how dangerous the situation was.
However, I still needed to make a trip back before finding a place to hide.
Although the two of them mentioned something about a small house, I still wanted to go back and take a look.
After all, there were still some materials that I had obtained from hunting in the past few days in that small house. It was all my savings. Without these things, I would have to hunt in the forest again.
Moreover, there were still some more important things in the small house. Those were the books and materials that Regulus had left behind.
Without these materials, I would become very blind in the future, whether it was making undead or obtaining materials.
I knew it was dangerous, but I should at least go back and have a look at it from a distance.
Only if you're sure your cabin was found. I can really give up.
Riding on the Knight King, and then looked at the side of a dull-faced regulus, decided to put him here first.
One more person is more dangerous, the knight King's body is already very attractive, if add one more person...
I didn't waste any time and immediately rushed towards the direction of the small wooden house. This was because I knew that the longer I delayed, the more likely I would be in danger.
When I came, because I needed to find small animals, I spent nearly two to three hours on the road.
This time, I had only one goal, to hurry back!
Therefore, after about half an hour, I saw the small wooden house not far away.
Looking at the wooden door of the small wooden house, it was still closed.
I let out a long sigh of relief.
No one has discovered this place yet!
Not daring to waste any time, I immediately jumped off the back of the Knight King.
I ran to the wooden house in three steps, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Looking at the materials in the house, they were all piled up.
These were all things that I had spent a long time in the woods these past two days, collecting and hunting one by one. These materials were enough for me to use for a year.
But I knew that I couldn't take all of these materials with me. I could only put the books away first, then take a few valuable and rare ones.
Those people outside could discover this place at any time. I couldn't waste time.
"Elder martial brother, look, isn't that the bone spirit holly recorded in the books?"
Just as I was packing my things and preparing to leave immediately... A clear and crisp voice came from outside the wooden house.
! ! !
Someone discovered this place...
And blocked me...
If I wanted to leave today, it wouldn't be easy...
At this moment, thoughts raced through my head.
