To Burris The Spellcaster And His Family Dependent

Chapter 28

Burris didn't rest well last night. After returning to the room, his mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, from whether the purpose of the bone maharaja was possible, to whether he should seriously consider learning the way of life of young people... and then he thought of a bunch of past I have heard and witnessed the sadness and joy of love, carefully pondering the pros and cons...

Reason told him that it was time to go to bed. Thinking so hard before going to bed would cause the brain to be overactive and insomnia, but he could not control himself. Even if these doubts are suppressed, his thoughts will drift to "When will the problem of asynchrony of body and soul be solved?"... Finally he got rid of this issue, and his excited spirit thought strangely about "being kissed by a demigod." Is your dog’s IQ superb or powerful"...

In short, he tossed about until dawn before falling asleep. The prince's knights got up to wash, and Burris was awakened by the friendly morning service from the station before he was asleep.

After going on the road today, Tarina stopped crying, but stared blankly at the corner of the carriage. Seeing her, Burris felt sad. If the child really suffered a "forced infection," then I am afraid that no wizard can help her. This is not something that the mages can intervene.

It would be great if the red vultures of the Lunar Mountains hadn't gone mad. If he didn't say anything about the curse of durian and was not driven out of the castle by the prince... then he might be able to find that the prince's daughter is talented and give timely guidance. Even if Tarina didn't go to the warlock, even if she was not good at learning, she could only pick a flower in a short time, it was enough for her to avoid the ending of insanity.

At this moment, Burris suddenly thought of another question. According to rumors, the prince’s wife also died strangely. From the perspective of the caster, her law of death is very much like magic out of control. The Red Vulture has known Prince Ranto a long time ago, so he should have known the Princess a long time ago. He should have been sober back then... Had he never noticed anything unusual about the Princess? Or is it true that the death of the princess was just an accident, and Tarina's symptoms were also caused by another?

The carriage passed a rough dirt road, and there was another violent bump. Tarina was so confused that she couldn't even maintain her balance, and Burris helped her in time again.

A silver necklace slipped out of Tarina's neckline, and a shell-shaped pendant studded with pink opal hung on the chain. The pendant can be opened like a real shell, with a small portrait embedded in it.

Burris straightened the girl's body and squeezed the pendant with one hand. The picture shows a woman with a young face, pale skin and flaming red hair... As for her appearance, she can't see clearly. The size of this commemorative portrait is too small, and the depiction of the person in the painting is often not accurate.

The person in the painting should be Tarina's mother. It turns out that Her Royal Highness is red-haired... Burris imagined that she should be a beautiful and cheerful person. This is a common stereotype that most people have of red-haired women.

Prince Ranto is blond like the king, and his children have inherited his blond hair. It seems that His Royal Highness is the only red-haired person beside the Prince.

No, there is another redhead that the prince knows... that is the red vulture. It is said that his hair is very red, but the top of his head is very bald, so he has the nickname "Red Vulture". But...what is the name of the red vulture?

Suddenly two screams came from the car window. One voice is black pine, the other is unknown. Burris hadn't reacted yet, and Charles opened the carriage curtains: "It's not good! Master, come out and have a look!"

"The prisoner escaped?"

"That's not right... Come down and have a look, I don't know how to describe it to you."

Charles stayed at the side of the carriage to protect his sister. Burris got out of the carriage and found that Lot and the prince's knights were gathered on the slightly raised hilly grass beside the road, seeming to be looking at some amazing picture in the distance.

The people who screamed just now were Black Pine and Norad. The black pine floated beside the team, first saw something on the other side of the hill and yelled. Norad was not far from the black pine. After hearing the call, he rode his horse up the hill and then screamed worse than the black pine .

Seeing the situation behind the hill, even Burris took a breath. It was a very large cemetery. Looking around, there were at least a few hundred stone tablets in the park. The tomb under each stone tablet had been dug up, and the coffin in each tomb had a large hole cut out.

The ground was dug from the inside out, and the coffin was also pierced from the inside out...everywhere with the view, all graves are like this.

"Look!" Seeing Burris coming, Lot pointed excitedly at some of the tombs. Some of the corpses in these tombs were stuck in the gap in the coffin, some were unable to climb out because the soil was too slippery, and some had left the tomb but couldn't stand up because of the mutilated lower limbs, and were squirming forward desperately. There are still some trailing traces on the nearby land, which should have been left by the corpses who have left. All traces are facing the same direction.

Burris looked at the black pine. Black Pine has now calmed down, frowning and detecting nearby magic fluctuations. In retrospect, the elf was timid when he was in the tower, and was often surprised, but at least he could hold back not yelling. Burris never understood why necromancers would scream when they saw a corpse, maybe just like some priests are afraid of ghost stories...

Burris looked around: "What is this place?"

Norad leaned close to the mage, as if it was safer: "There is a small town not far to the west of the cemetery. Most of the people buried here are the dead in the town. Ah! That dead man is watching me!"

"He didn't look at you, he was just waving his head." Burris took a step away without letting Norad embrace him. "Did you walk this way when you came? Is there anything unusual about the cemetery at the time? ?"

"We didn't pay attention to these at all when we came. The Three Good Gods are on top, what happened to them?"

"They..." Burris looked to the north, the corpse below seemed not interested in living people at all, and didn't even look at him. "Maybe their destination is the same as ours..."

Silver Falcon, the territory of Prince Ranto, and the northwestern border of Sargo-the Lunar Mountains. Judging from the traces on the soil, the corpses that crawled out were all heading towards the Lunar Mountains, and the mutilated corpses were slowly wriggling northward.

Burris sighed and walked to one of the corpses, hanging his palm over its back, and chanting a spell silently. The corpse gradually lost its vitality under the spell, stopped moving, and turned back into a real dead thing.

Seeing the action of the "Little Mage", Hei Song also hurriedly followed up to find a corpse and cast the same spell. Between casting spells, the elf frowned and mumbled: "It's weird. If we can inactivate them so easily, it means that the person who evokes them is not too powerful? But if the person is weak, what about him? It may evoke such a large body of corpses and manipulate them..."

Burris had made a silent judgment, but he dared not say it immediately. He was worried that the Prince and his children would be scared.

He believes that these corpses were not only aroused by someone, but attracted by a stronger force. They are not advancing towards the Lunar Mountains because of orders. If there is a manipulator, Burris and Black Pine must break the man’s spell before they can inactivate the corpse; and now that they directly appease the corpse, it means that these corpses are alive by themselves.

"The evil man manipulates the corpse" is not terrifying to the knights. Everyone knows that the corpse is just a weapon. Just kill the manipulator; but "the corpse resurrects on its own and gathers in a certain place" is a bit beyond common people's perception... Even Burris had a chill in his back, let alone what other people would think.

They can't stop for too long and must hurry up. The more weird the situation, the more they have to make sure to arrive at Silver Falcon Castle sooner.

After hitting the road again, Black Elastic followed closely behind the Cavaliers' queue, and Norad became quiet. Charles and Lott rode left and right beside the carriage. In the carriage, Tarina's eyes were hollow, her fingers twitched from time to time, her lips moved without making a sound, as if facing something invisible to others. Something silent.

Now there are abnormal magic waves everywhere, just like the rushing wind everywhere. Burris was sleepy and worried. He wanted to take advantage of the quiet to make up for his sleep, but he was afraid of the team's unexpected accident.

Another day passed, and the team arrived at the Guandao Post in Baie Village ahead of schedule. They originally planned to have lunch here and take a short break, then walk for a while in the afternoon, and enter the Silver Falcon Castle by the end of the evening... But when they arrived near the post, the knight in charge didn't know whether they should stop.

It's getting foggy. The official road outside the village is just a little mist. The more you move forward, the thicker the mist. At noon, the village of White Goose was silent. No one was working in the fields and orchards outside the village, and there was no sound of children running home screaming hungry in the distance.

Going further in, the knights were surprised to see that all the houses in the village were closed, and even the dogs were not in the yard. A soldier knocked on the door of the post station. After a while, the wooden window on the second floor opened a crack, and the post boss yelled excitedly from the crack in the window.

After welcoming the prince and his party into the house, the boss quickly locked the door again. The waitresses brought food and briefly described the situation in the village with lingering fear.

Not long ago, the terrible resurrection of the dead occurred in several nearby villages. The cemetery was opened one by one, and the dead crawled out day and night. The mutilated corpse struggled to crawl, the complete corpse ran as fast as a living person, and even the crunching bones swayed behind. The village guard and some courageous peasants went to intercept them, but they were not opponents of the corpses at all. At the same time, a heavy fog engulfed several nearby villages and towns. While local corpses continued to recover, corpses from other cemeteries swarmed through Baie Village...

Fortunately, these corpses didn't seem to care much about the escaped villagers. They ran into the direction of the Lunar Mountains. Even so, some people in the village were injured or even killed in the chaos. Some guards were besieged and bitten by trying to stop the corpse from advancing. There was also a farmer who was crushed alive by his father's corpse.

After hearing the statements of the waitress and the post boss, the prince decided to take food and go on the road immediately. This is already the case in nearby villages and towns. What will happen in the Silver Falcon Fort?

When leaving the post, the fog outside thickened. Burris just wanted to get into the carriage, but he saw Lot standing aside with his horse, staring at the north in a daze.

"My lord?" The mage walked over and asked softly, "Did you feel something?"

Lott was in a daze before turning around. He didn't answer immediately, but asked Burriss back: "Look at the mist and the fluctuations flowing from the mountains...Did you feel it too?"

Burris nodded: "Yes...I not only felt it, but also cast a spell to distinguish it."

"What do you think this is?"

"This is not a necromancy at all," Burris lowered his voice, "this is purgatory elemental magic."
