From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

"Genos, do you want to hire adventurers from the Southern Federation?"

Kavin's eyes widened in surprise, and he adjusted his crooked glasses.

"Do you know how high the price of those adventurers is? How much they look down on the empire and mercenaries?"

He spread his hands and said incomprehensibly:

"Why not just hire other mercenary groups within the empire? For example... the Great Sword Mercenary Group, they are right next to us..."

"No, Cavin, we can seek help from adventurers, but we cannot seek help from within the empire."

Bai Ying shook his head and explained: "In that case, our achievements will be shared among others, and the meaning will be completely different!

"People will say in the future that the Great Sword Mercenary Group and the Eagle Group defeated General Skeleton together. No one will care about which one is dominant, and our honor will be divided.

"It's different when we hire adventurers from the Southern Federation. It's our own ability to find help from abroad. Even within the empire, not many people know or care. Do you understand?"

"So you were thinking about this..."

Cavin sighed, "It's difficult, Genos, your request is difficult.

“In the Southern Federation, low-level adventurers are too weak and are of no use to us.

"Almost all high-level adventurers gather in the Labyrinth City Strategy Dungeon. They are bound by the Adventurer's Guild and cannot leave easily.

"Furthermore, given that prices and remuneration levels in Labyrinth City are much higher than those in the Empire, it would be sky-high for us to hire people from there! You will definitely be in pain!"

Genos smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Kavin, money is not an issue, the issue is whether the strength of the foreign aid is worth the price."

Calvin glanced at him helplessly, "Genos, the only people I know in Labyrinth City are teachers and classmates from the academy, and the people who can come here are only about the same strength as me.

"Moreover, they have... prejudice against mercenaries. Even if they are hired, I can't guarantee that their attitude will be very friendly. At that time, you'd better restrain other people's criminal behavior..."

"I understand, then I'll leave it to you, Kavin." Bai Ying smiled and patted the mage on the shoulder.

"To defeat monsters that have awakened their strength, few people are willing to participate in such a dangerous mission, so you'd better not have too much hope."

Afterwards, Kavin returned to his room, took out a pen and paper and started writing a letter.

Before writing, he fell into memories and sighed.

In fact, when he first arrived in Labyrinth City, he was discriminated against and looked down upon. Later, he made some friends based on his strength.

A few years later, his classmates and friends were not much weaker than him at that time, and they should all be high-level adventurers now.

"Shasha, Shasha..."

Soon, he finished writing a letter and then used magic to make seven copies of it.

These letters will then be handed over to the postman, and it will take a few days at the fastest to be delivered to the labyrinth city.

"Um……"

Kavin's face was tangled, his fingers tapped on the table, and he began to hesitate.

Finally he made up his mind and wrote a second letter:

"Dear Teacher Helen, hello.

"I found a child here who is gifted with necromancy. His name is Philip...

"...I wonder if you are willing to accept him as a student? I look forward to your early reply. Sincerely, your humble student, Cavin Disch."

After Kavin wrote the second letter, he sealed it with an envelope and a lacquer seal, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

…

"squeak--"

The door opens.

A girl with short brown hair walked in and said, "Phillip, it's time to take medicine."

As the captain, Kavin will not be responsible for personally administering medicine every day.

So this job was left to Meili, who had free time and knowledge of magic.

"oh."

The boy sitting on the chair turned to look.

After he verbally agreed to Bai Ying's request, his treatment was much more comfortable than a few days ago.

At least I won't be tied to a chair without water or food. I can stay alone in my room and sleep whenever I want.

But perhaps to prevent him from escaping, or just to keep him from forgetting his identity, his hands were still tied tightly in front of him.

"Gulu."

Phillip took the medicine bottle with both hands and drank it in one gulp.

The bitter liquid streaked across his mouth and throat, burning like strong liquor in his stomach.

This is a magic potion that can enhance magic power, but to him it is nothing more than feed for fattening chickens and ducks.

"Eat after taking the medicine."

In addition to the magic potion, Merry brought along Philip's only meal a day, potatoes, bread and vegetable soup.

The young man nodded, "Thank you, please go first, I will eat slowly by myself."

Meili didn't leave, but sat down.

She looked at Phillip's face with a puzzled expression and asked curiously: "Are you really a necromancer?"

She first learned the news because Wolf came back to the house one night and suddenly became furious and grabbed her by the collar.

"What secrets are you and him hiding from me?"

The werewolf growled and questioned, shaking her body vigorously in the air, as if a mad dog was biting and shaking a rag doll.

Her head was about to be thrown off - this was Melly's last thought before she lost consciousness.

After she woke up, she learned from the werewolf that Phillip turned out to be a necromancer.

"That's right."

The young man turned his head and said, "I am a necromancer, but I have never harmed anyone. Do you believe this?"

"Of course I believe it."

Meili tilted her head, "Your low magic power can probably only control a few skeleton monsters, right?

"How could the Skeleton Knight that Captain Finn talks about all day long be your summon? Otherwise he should have come over and killed you long ago."

Neither of them spoke anymore, and the air fell into silence for a moment.

"..."

Melly suddenly whispered: "Philip, do you want to live? Do you want to escape from here?"

The young man immediately turned to look at her with a shocked expression.

"Are you crazy? Meili, what are you going to do?"

…

On the other side, in a secret cave,

Roja is releasing the extreme cold energy in his body, turning the entire cave into an ice cave.

All directions were sealed with several meters of blue ice, forming a cage with no entrance or exit.

And his current location is far away from the Undead Mountains, even far away from Border Town. Even if a moose runs at full speed from Border Town, it will take three hours to get here.

Roja couldn't believe that General Skeleton could sense Chris even from such a distance, and came all the way from the Undead Mountains to pursue her.

"Boom."

He took out a two-meter-high blue ice crystal from the storage space and placed it on the ground.

There was a cloud of white smoke solidifying inside, which was Princess Mononoke who had been frozen beyond human form.

Luo Ya thought about it,

The blue ice crystals melted instantly, and at the same time, the white mist floated into the air.

In the blink of an eye, a figure of a woman wearing a white dress and a white mask reappeared.
