Magic Underachiever

"Miss Jessica." The man glanced at Jessica's kettle containing the secret medicine, and then asked: "This can be said to be the easiest task I have completed in so many years of wandering in the Desert of Death.

In the more than ten days we have been in the Desert of Death, we have not encountered a single undead attack. It feels as if we are here on vacation. After I went back, I was embarrassed to brag to my colleagues... My mercenary group and I accompanied the world-renowned adventurers Sir Charles and Miss Jessica to the Desert of Death to search for buried ancient ruins.

Miss Jessica, how did you do it? "

Jessica glanced at the mercenary next to her and said: "Captain Stilwell... wouldn't it be nice if there were no undead to attack us? Sir Charles and I chose to hire you to escort us into the Desert of Death because you are in the Desert of Death. In the area...the mercenary group with the highest mission completion rate.

We are here to find ancient ruins, not to experience what it feels like to be attacked by the undead. Your mission has been completed very well so far, and I think Sir Charles will be very willing to give you a considerable additional reward... after the mission is over. "

Jessica knew... that she had not been attacked by the undead along the way, which had already made Captain Stilwell suspicious. But she didn't plan to tell the other party about the secret medicine. After all, anything related to the undead was taboo, and she didn't want these mercenaries to associate her with those necromancers who desecrated corpses.

There is a group of magicians in this world who specialize in studying the undead, called necromancers. They capture existing undead, or directly steal corpses and use necromancy magic to transform them into undead, in an attempt to gain immortality by finding the secrets of the undead.

Desecrating the corpse makes the necromancer a despised existence and a street rat that everyone shouts about.

But necromancers do have many spells that can control the undead. The secret medicine that Jessica refined using her own blood is very similar to the undead spell in its effect of exorcising the undead. If Captain Stilwell confirms that the team's encounter with undead is related to Jessica, it will definitely cause big trouble for her and Sir Charles.

Jessica's explanation obviously failed to dispel Stilwell's suspicion, and he continued to ask: "Miss Jessica, can I see what's in your kettle? Why do you use magic when you release magic?" What’s in it?”

"Of course the kettle is filled with water?" Jessica said Stilwell's question was very funny: "When I cast the spell, I dipped the magic wand in a little water because in the dry environment of the desert, water magic is very effective. Poor... With a little medium to guide the spell, more water elements can be gathered to form rainfall.

Captain Stilwell, I am a 10th-level magister... Regarding magic, I don’t need to explain too much to you.

And I need to remind you... mercenaries have mercenary rules: accept money to do things, don't ask too many questions, don't look too much, don't take too many things. I reserve the right to complain against you and your mercenary group. I don’t think you want your credit score to be lowered in the mercenary industry, right? "

Jessica faintly threatened Captain Stilwell.

Mercenary is an industry with a relatively low threshold. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can get into this industry, but those who can really make money in this industry will always have good credit. No employer is willing to entrust their safety to mercenaries with low credibility; and no employer is willing to hire mercenaries with low credibility to accompany them to explore ruins and find treasures.

Sir Charles is a very famous person in the world. If he complains about Stilwell's mercenary group, his credit evaluation will be greatly reduced.

It was impossible for Stilwell to search Jessica without evidence. Moreover, Jessica is a 10th-level magician, and with Sir Charles's unknown strength, if they really fight... his mercenary group will definitely suffer serious losses.

After hitting a soft nail, Stilwell smiled awkwardly, saluted Jessica and then slowly stepped back.

Stilwell's retreat made Jessica secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that it was really weird not to be attacked by the undead in the Desert of Death, but if she stopped using the secret medicine, there was no guarantee that she would be attacked by the undead... Whether there are a few skeletons coming, or a group of carrion lickers suddenly emerging from the sand, it will be even more troublesome if they encounter the march of stone brain worms.

Moreover, stopping the release of the secret medicine at this time, after being attacked by the undead, will only make Stilwell more convinced that... the previous undead were expelled because of his use of "undead magic".

Jessica glanced back at Sir Charles, who was marching in the middle of the procession.

At this time, Sir Charles was completely immersed in the exploration of ancient ruins. He rode a camel and looked up. From time to time, he picked up the camera hanging on his chest to take pictures of the sand dunes not far away.

Regarding what happened to Jessica, I don’t know if he didn’t see it or if he believed that his right-hand man could handle such a small thing.

Looking at Stilwell again, he has retreated to the rear of the team, guarding the back of the adventuring team with a few mercenaries... They are all the most experienced mercenaries. They have been hired many times to carry out protection missions deep into the Desert of Death. They know that most of them In this case, an attack from behind is more deadly.

When Jessica saw Stilwell, Stilwell also looked at Jessica.

After confirming that his voice would not be heard by the people in front, Stilwell said to a mercenary wrapped in a cloak beside him: "I just tested Jessica, she is very calm... I can't see It was impossible to tell whether she was using necromancy to expel the undead, and she didn't look like a necromancer who studied necromancy.

Her skin was shiny and elastic, not infected by the air of death. Very beautiful, very charming... If I could buy her one night, I would be willing to go bankrupt. "

While talking, Stilwell reached out and waved to Jessica, and in response... the beauty turned her head and fired another water ball into the sky.

The drizzle of rain fell, lowering the temperature around a lot. This was the most luxurious enjoyment for people walking in the desert. Even the camels made happy calls and stretched out their tongues to lick the falling raindrops.

The man in the cloak had a hood and a face towel on his face to block the wind and sand. People who explore the desert basically dress like this to prevent their skin from being exposed to the sun and to reduce excessive loss of water in the body, but the breath flowing out of this person was a little bit cold.

He took a deep breath of the slightly humid air, and then said: "My judgment is correct. This rain has added something to us, so that the undead under our feet have no action. ”
