From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

The next morning, hotel.

Phillip sat quietly in his room, looking a little pale.

People were coming and going in the corridor, and the mercenaries seemed to be very busy, preparing something.

The room was not soundproof, and he could occasionally hear the mercenaries passing by outside saying things like "the execution platform is set up" and "it's ready."

It seemed as if at any moment he would be dragged out to stand trial and burned at the stake.

"boom."

There was a muffled sound, and the door was pushed open.

Philip was startled,

Looking up, I saw that a lot of "acquaintances" from the Eagle Group had come in: Genos, Finn, Witch Anna, and Wolf.

——Master Cavin, whom the young man most wanted to see, was not inside.

Genos waved his hand and conjured up a stool, sat down on it, raised his cane with both hands, and showed a smile.

He looked at the young man and said, "Little Philip, did you sleep well last night?"

"……not good."

Phillip lowered his head and did not look at Bai Ying.

He felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in the other person's eyes, which gave him a strong sense of foreboding.

"I have good news for you, your hard days are about to end!"

Genos smiled and turned to signal Anna behind him.

Anna, the "Miko of the Forest", took a step forward and held a green fluorescent light in front of her with both hands.

Upon closer inspection, a pea-like green seed glowed in her palm.

"Gamele and Shouka..."

As Anna recited obscure spells,

Countless fine dust in the air gathered together, piled up a small handful of dust in the palm of the forest witch, and buried the seeds.

"Shasha, Shasha..."

Another mist appeared out of thin air, moistening the mound and even reflecting colorful rainbow light.

A few seconds later, a slender green vine emerged from the soil, crawling and squirming on Anna's palm like a worm.

"What are you going to do?!" The young man exclaimed, trying to escape.

"be honest!"

Ana sneered twice, pressed Phillip's head hard, and forced the vine into his nostrils!

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-!!"

With a choking pain in his nasal cavity, Phillip was horrified to feel something crawling into his brain!

The miko waved her hand in front of the boy, and he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

Finn asked, "Does this control him? Make him say what Winston wants to hear?"

"Well……"

Anna frowned slightly, and the slender fingers of her right hand moved back and forth, like a puppeteer controlling a puppet through invisible threads.

Under the influence of her spell, Phillip rolled his eyes and twitched, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"No! It can only be stopped in time when he wants to say something Winston doesn't want to hear."

Anna shook her head and explained: "But the vine insect technique will destroy his brain, rooting and drilling holes in his brain like fertile soil. Over time, he will gradually turn into an idiot."

"Well..." Genos raised his chin, "Wake him up!"

After Phillip came to his senses, he saw Finn sitting opposite him.

A handsome face belonging to an elf, but now it was terrifyingly gloomy, and the fierce light in his eyes made him look like he was about to draw a sword and kill someone at any time.

"Snapped!"

A piece of paper was pressed on Philip's thigh by the elf,

"Tomorrow, you will do what I said above and talk about it. Do you understand?"

tomorrow?

Is tomorrow the day of trial?

Phillip's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he breathed a sigh of relief that he would be safe for one more day.

He lowered his head and glanced at the paper, and found that it was full of various confessions and confessions, just like a drama actor's script, including kneeling down and crying.

The young man pursed his lips and said nothing. He was obviously unwilling to cooperate and didn't even bother to be perfunctory.

"hehe!"

Finn sneered twice, "I knew you wouldn't be obedient! Philip, you seem to have a good relationship with Mellie, right?"

"..." The young man slowly widened his eyes, and the ominous premonition in his heart reached its peak.

The elf continued: "Just late last night, Meili came over secretly and wanted to let you out, and even opened the door lock.

"But she didn't know that the entire room was covered with defensive counterattack spells. I used five healing spells to barely save her life.

"Meili almost died trying to save you, Philip——"

Finn paused and said with a sneer: "You don't want anything to happen to her, right?"

"Meili..."

The boy's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

He didn't doubt the truth of Finn's words, because Mellie did say she wanted to save him.

And last night, he seemed to hear some movement outside the door...

"Merry betrayed the Eagles and her master Wolf. According to our long-standing rules, she committed a capital crime and must be drowned or buried alive!"

Finn picked up the piece of paper, stared at Phillip and said slowly:

"But as long as you obey the above and die honestly, Wolf and I can give her a chance to change her ways, otherwise..."

Phillip looked at the "script" blankly, his mind went blank, and his heart was gradually filled with an emotion called despair.

"Ah."

Finn's lips curved slightly, revealing a winning smile.

"Philip!"

At this time, Genos put his hands on his hands and smiled and said:

"If you want Meili to live a good life, show off your necromancy skills first and try summoning a skeleton monster."

After saying that, a magic crystal for recording images appeared in his palm and pointed it at the boy.

This is not Winston's request,

But Genos suddenly felt that leaving some precious images of the "famous heretic" Philip during his lifetime might be able to be sold for a good price in the future.

"Snapped."

There was a soft sound, and the rope that tightly tied the young man's hands was automatically loosened.

"……okay, I get it."

Phillip stood up slowly with a depressed expression.

Blood dripped from his fingertips, and he traced the lines of the summoning circle on the ground while chanting a spell:

"My partner who was born from... hell... please answer my call... come to me from afar..."

Genos and others were all staring at the magic circle on the ground.

——As members of the Holy Empire, this was also the first time they saw a necromancer cast a spell.

Although the young man's tone was trembling, the spell was gradually completed.

With a soft "buzz" sound, a powerful wave of magic power emitted from the summoning circle...

The next second, under the gaze of Genos and others,

"puff."

A skeleton was spit out by the magic circle and fell to the ground with a "snap", motionless.

This is an ordinary skeleton soldier, the kind with a broken skull and a long time ago dead.

this one?

Genos and others were stunned for a moment.

Genos smiled and said: "Haha, it seems that our little mage is not good at learning..."

Finn looked a little confused, "Isn't this your contracted undead?"

Anna snorted coldly, "He's just an undead apprentice... But with this level of magic, it's enough to fool some idiots."

"Then little mage."

Genos patted the boy on the shoulder,

"Please perform this trick again on stage tomorrow."

He leaned into Phillip's ear, smiled and whispered:

"When the time comes, Meili will also be watching your performance in the audience, so perform well!"

Phillip nodded slightly with his eyes in a trance, not sure whether he heard it or not.

…

After leaving the room,

The female werewolf suddenly said: "Actually, I don't want Meili anymore."

"oh?"

Several other people glanced at her,

Genos smiled and asked: "Then what do you want to do? Let her go? Or kill her?"

"Let her die with Philip."

Wolf said calmly without expression: "One on the stage, one off the stage, die at the same time."

"I don't think it matters," Finn said.

"Okay." Genos also nodded.

As for the witch Anna, she didn't even bother to comment on such a trivial matter.

As mercenaries, they had no need to keep their word to a dead man.

There is a chapter in the evening
