From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

"Lord Winston, please come this way."

Genos led the cardinal into the reception room. In addition to Finn, there were also two super knights from the church.

"Crunch!"

The old man's fat body sat on the sofa chair, and the seat made a deformation sound.

"Genos!"

Winston looked at Genos sternly with his small eyes, like a staid teacher at a missionary school looking at a naughty student.

"And Finn! You guys are much ahead of the agreed time!"

His voice was majestic and resonant, and even when he spoke normally, it was like he was reading from church scriptures, with an unmistakable aura.

"Haha, sir, we also have our own reasons..." Facing the old man's almost accusatory tone, Genos showed a gentle smile.

Sitting opposite him was an old man without power, but a servant of the true God.

The cardinal's status in the empire was even higher than that of his honorary earl.

Therefore, no matter what the other party says, Baiying will never show disgust or dissatisfaction.

He explained: "Because the monsters in the Undead Mountains have been behaving abnormally recently, and we have even suffered heavy losses. In order to prevent accidents from happening, I think it is better to deal with the Skeleton General as soon as possible."

Since the last time he went out for reconnaissance and encountered the ancient lich and other undead, and the Amazon sisters and Sword Demon Subaru were seriously injured, Genos has become completely honest.

The strength of the undead was more difficult to deal with than expected. Now he could only feel at ease if he got the holy relics and gospel weapons quickly. He would feel uneasy waiting for one more day.

Genos added: "Moreover, it is also the intention of the Duke of Marne to deal with the threat of General Skeleton as soon as possible."

The Duke of Marne is a royal noble whose territory is close to the border. If General Skeleton really wants to attack the empire one day, he will be the first to attack.

A large part of the reason why the Eagle Group will attack the Mountains of the Dead is because they were entrusted by the Duke of Marne.

"Hmph..."

Winston looked sideways at Genos with a look of indifference, "The donation you promised to the church must not be less!"

"Of course."

Genos smiled and poked the ground twice with his cane. The next second, two small boxes appeared on the table.

"clatter."

With a soft sound, the box opened automatically, revealing the gems and silver coins inside.

Winston's eyes suddenly widened a bit, and he nodded and said, "Okay, very good... Genos, this shows that you are very loyal to your belief in the gods!"

He waved to the knight behind him, and a knight stepped forward and put away the two boxes.

Winston added: "There is one more thing, you will not forget it, right? Genos, that necromancer..."

Bai Ying smiled and said, "Of course not, Finn, go and bring him over."

The elf nodded and walked out the door.

Two minutes later, Phillip was brought in with his hands tied.

"Why a child?"

Winston frowned immediately, "You just grabbed a poor kid to fool me, right? Based on what you said in your letter, I thought he was at least a young man..."

"My lord, how dare I deceive you?"

Genos smiled and said: "This is a genuine necromancer. He can use necromancy and has a very terrifying undead monster."

"Yeah?"

Winston squinted his eyes and looked at the young man for a while, then stretched out a fat palm and slowly touched him.

"Crack!"

The moment Winston's palm touched Phillip's shoulder, dazzling golden lightning burst out from between the two!

"Ah!" "Oh!"

The old man and the young man screamed at the same time, their expressions extremely painful.

Winston's palms were scorched black, as if they had been burned by high temperatures, and the clothes on Philip's shoulders were also blown open by lightning, with wounds similar to Winston's.

"grown ups!"

This scene made the two church knights, Genos and Finn, look shocked!

"Oh! It hurts! Give me treatment quickly!" The old man fell on the sofa and screamed in pain.

Just as Finn was about to step forward, a church knight held Winston's hand and hurriedly used a healing spell.

The sacred golden light lit up and healed the wound in just a few seconds.

"call--"

The pain in Winston's palm disappeared, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat up again.

But Philip was not so lucky;

The burn mark on his shoulder gradually turned into a black church logo. The continuous burning pain made him break out in a cold sweat!

The white eagle and the elf who saw this strange scene both showed surprised eyes.

Whether it was golden lightning or a black church logo, this was the first time they had seen a clergy perform such a miracle, and they had never heard of it before!

"Haha, it is indeed an evil heresy, extremely sinful and extremely terrifying!"

The old man had a look of joy on his face and said extremely excitedly:

"Genos, I believe what you say now! This child is indeed an evil and powerful necromancer! He is the enemy of the Holy Light!"

…Who does he say is evil and powerful?

Genos and Finn looked at each other, confused.

However, they all still had smiles on their faces, "Sir, as long as you are satisfied."

Winston said to the knight behind him:

"You should use a photo crystal to record the scene just now, but it's not too late to start recording it from now on. I'll do it again..."

However, no matter how many times he tried and touched the young man's body, the magical scene just now never appeared again.

"Forget it! Let's talk about it next time!"

Winston was extremely dissatisfied and felt a little tired, so he said to Genos:

"Hurry up and set up the trial stand and the burning rack. I already want to deal with this heretic as soon as possible!"

"As you wish, my lord."

Genos smiled and bowed, "It only takes two or three days to complete."

"Very well, as long as this is completed, those things you want will be given to you."

Winston yawned loudly, and was led to the rest room by Finn.

As soon as he took off, Genos grabbed Philip by the collar and pulled him in front of him.

A pair of sharp eagle eyes stared closely at the young man's face, and said with a smile:

"Little Philip, are you hiding any secrets from us? Why did I suddenly feel that I had sold you at a loss just now?"

Phillip closed his eyes and said bitterly: "Why haven't you died yet?"

Genos stared at the boy for a while, then let go of his collar, "Haha, we have to live to be a hundred years old. If you only have two or three days left to live, you should think carefully about how to live your next life!

"Finn, take him back, be sure not to let him escape!"

The elf who had just returned nodded and took Philip back to the hut that was used as a prison cell.

Before leaving, Finn warned the boy: "You'd better be honest, I'll let Scar watch you."

"boom!"

The door was closed, and the windowless room fell into darkness.

"..."

The young man slumped down in his chair and stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.

Silently, his eyes were gradually moistened with tears.

After being imprisoned by mercenaries for such a long time, no matter how unwilling he was, Philip gradually accepted his fate of being burned to death.

It was impossible not to be afraid, but at least he didn't want to expose his weakness, fear and despair in front of the mercenaries.

Now that I'm alone in a dark room, I can't hide the sadness in my heart.

"Well……"

The boy swallowed hard, as if he wanted to swallow the tears back into his stomach.

"squeak--"

At this moment, the door to the room was opened again.

Phillip wiped his eyes, turned around and found that it was the mage Cavin whom he hadn't seen for a long time...
