Chapter 685: Meeting on the Way
By the time the Knights Templar arrived, the museum was in disarray. And the protagonist who caused this chaos has long since fled.
"Where's the people?" the Knight Commander asked loudly, summoning the guards who had chased them out before.
"My lord, the necromancer has already run away!" the guard had a depressed expression on his face.
"Rubbish!!" the Knight Captain exclaimed, "Where are you going?"
"This ...... We have no way of knowing!," replied the guard, tremblingly, "and he flew away on the bones of the king bird, and we could not catch up. Now the bones have been found in Dongcheng District, but the necromancer and the guards chasing him are all gone!"
"Why don't you hurry up and investigate? There must have been many witnesses flying in the city so blatantly. Find these witnesses and find their whereabouts!"
"Yes!!"
The guards set off in a panic, and the knight leader snorted coldly: "Waste! So many people can't catch a necromancer, can't they even entangle him?"
"This sir!" Labrio said with an embarrassed face knowing that he had also been scolded, "We've all done our best, but all magic attacks won't work against that necromancer!
"Oh?" the Knight Leader's expression was solemn, "According to what you say, the other party is at least a seventh- or eighth-order strength. How could such a powerful necromancer appear in our city of Maltis?"
"I don't know!" lamented Labrio, "now that the museum is in shambles, what if the lord knew what to do?"
"Well, those are secondary," said the Knight Master in a cold voice, "the theft of the Hero's Eye is the greatest shame!
Not to mention that there was chaos in the city of Maltys, all the guards were passive, and the whole city searched for Jia Zhengjin and Harry and others. At this moment, the protagonists who caused such a sensational event have already met in the wilderness far from the city of Maltis.
It turned out that in the large ranch of Gordon, there was a hidden underground passage. This passage has existed for many years, and only Gordon and his men know about it. The passage led to several places outside the city, and it was from here that Harry had been sent out before.
Before the incident, Gordon learned that Harry was going to steal the Eye of the Hero, and knew that there was no way to stay in Maltis City any longer. So he sent people out of the city with a large number of mounts, deceived the guards with a fake order, and waited outside the city.
Harry escaped with Justin and joined up with Gordon to escape outside the city through the tunnels, and fled with the rest of the army without stopping.
Jia Zhengjin also flew to the large ranch of Gordon and dissolved the state of bird fossil bones. However, three guards followed with the bones, and they discovered the secret. In order to ensure that the forces in the city do not find their way so quickly, give themselves and Harry more time to escape. In desperation, he knocked all three guards unconscious, put them on war horses and escaped through the tunnel.
Originally, it was planned to throw away the three guards when they got to the field, because even if they went back to report the news, they would not have time to lead the troops to chase after them. Who would have expected to meet Harry who left first, it turned out that they were sleepy and the team was resting nearby.
"Master!" Harry was surprised to find Jia Zhengjin catching up, and ran over with the Book of the Dead in his hand.
"How did you become a master again?" Jia Zhengjin was quite speechless in the face of Harry, how many times had he changed his name in his mouth in such a short period of time?
"You taught me magic, aren't you my master?" said Harry happily, "Master, there are so many magic records in this book, it's like a complete book of necromancy! Uncle Gordon said that magic books like this are very precious, and you can't find many in the world! You are so good to me." ”
"Don't call me Master yet!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand and said, "This Book of the Dead is given to you as a promised reward." If you learn well, you will become a real necromancer, and people will know that others will make trouble for me, and if you don't learn well, you will not become a good magician, and people will laugh at me if they are known. The reason why I gave you the magic book to teach yourself is because I don't want to be implicated by you. It's just a deal between us, and I didn't teach you anything. You've learned, it's self-taught. It doesn't have anything to do with me, and if you can't learn, you won't be able to lose my face. I'm not your master, and you're not my apprentice, do you understand?"
"But......" Harry suddenly felt depressed when he heard this, "Master, I ......"
"Harry!" said Gordon as he walked over from behind, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Peyton has a point in saying that. A character like him, everything he does is well thought out. Let's just do what he says!"
After Justin came back and explained what had happened, Gordon decided that Jia Zhengjin was an unusually powerful necromancer, perhaps the kind of old monster that had lived for hundreds of years, and the soul occupied a young man's body and walked around. Such beings have very strange personalities, and even if they are helping you now, they may directly kill you in the next moment. To be on the safe side, so definitely make Harry careful.
Harry was quite obedient to Gordon, thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Then I'll call you brother, okay?"
Jia Zhengjin rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
Harry pretended not to see him and shook his head, his eyes fell on the three unconscious guards standing on the horse, and he walked over and looked at them curiously and asked, "Brother! What's going on with them?" Oh~ Did you bring them here to learn necromancy magic? I just want to learn to summon skeletons first, but I'm worried that there are no test subjects! I don't know if living summoning will work. ”
Harry picked up the magic wand in his hand, opened the Book of the Dead and looked at the spell that summoned the skeletons, wanting to experiment with the three guards. Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand and knocked on his head: "Stop! These people are not for you to use as experiments." They found out about the secret passage in the city, and I was just worried that they would tell me, so I brought them with me. It's so far away from Maltis City that even if you let them go, you won't have time to report and catch up. Also, summoning skeletons from living bodies, how could you have thought of such a cruel thing? I don't remember teaching you this!"
"It's written in the book!" Harry hurriedly handed the Book of the Dead to Jia Zhengjin, "Brother, isn't this your own book? Have you forgotten? It is written here, and the skeletons summoned by the living body have a chance to retain their strength before their death, and their combat effectiveness will be stronger! I also feel cruel, but since I have decided to embark on this path, I must do my best! And since they are my enemies, isn't being merciful to my enemies cruel to myself?"
The corners of Jia Zhengjin's mouth twitched, he didn't see that this little ghost was a ruthless character! Although he didn't take the lives of people in another world seriously, he wouldn't kill people at will. Sometimes, even if it's an enemy, he'll let it go. In comparison, Harry is stronger than himself!
However, these three guards did not pose any threat to him, so they were not ready to kill them.
