In the bedroom on the second floor, there was a white tiger-skin carpet, and a large black bed covered with snow-white velvet sheets. The castellan's wife was sitting on the edge of the bed in a purple noble dress. She looked at Liang Lidong for a while expressionlessly, and then smiled. "Okay, don't be so serious. My appearance is just for other people to see. Although it's a bit troublesome that Rex died in our castle, it won't affect us too much. Besides, I think it's a big deal since it's related to a necromancer. We're not unreasonable people, so let's just forget about it. "
On the surface, the castellan's wife's words sounded nice, but what she really meant was: Beta, let's forget about it this time. I won't trouble you, but you owe the Longman Family a favor. Remember to repay it in the future.
However, Liang Lidong also admitted that the castellan's wife was right. It was unreasonable to kill people in other people's home, so he had to accept the favor.
"Okay, thank you for your understanding." Liang Lidong shrugged.
"Let's sit here and talk. It's not good to keep standing." The castellan's wife patted the edge of the bed next to her. "Now, we can talk about the necromancer. Actually, I don't believe that there are necromancers in the territory of the Longman Family … You should know what it means when such people appear in a place! "
Necromancers were generally good at plague and dark summoning spells. These two types of spells weren't very destructive, but they were extremely long-lasting. Plague spells, in particular, were not very useful for professionals, but they could turn ordinary people who didn't have much magic resistance into infectious sources of diseases. Then, the diseases would spread in a few months, and the land would be barren for thousands of miles. In the end, the corpses of these ordinary people would be used by necromancers to summon skeleton armies. Even if the professionals didn't die in the plague, they would be besieged and killed by these skeletons.
Therefore, necromancers were widely recognized as mobile sources of disasters, and were hated by everyone.
Liang Lidong didn't sit beside the castellan's wife. Instead, he moved a chair over and sat down. Then, he briefly explained the situation. Finally, he said, "From the moment I saw those specimens, I suspected that Rex had been controlled by the Necromancer, so he had to die. It's a pity that I didn't get the Necromancer's name. Otherwise, I could use the Mirror Tracking Spell … "
At this point, Liang Lidong slapped his thigh. "I almost forgot that I can no longer use Mirror Tracking."
"Mirror Tracking is a spell of the fifth rank." The mayor's wife asked in surprise, "Sir, you know this spell, but why can't you use it?"
Liang Lidong chuckled and didn't say anything else. He suddenly remembered that he had the talent of Materialist, which allowed him to ignore all prophecy, causality, and time reversal spells. But correspondingly, he couldn't use those three skills and spells. Mirror Tracking, on the other hand, was essentially a prophecy spell. He could use it in the game, but because of Materialist, he couldn't use it now.
Of course, he wouldn't tell her the real reason. Sometimes, silence was the best answer.
The castellan's wife understood Liang Lidong's intentions. She laid on her side on the bed and propped her head up with one hand. She crossed her legs together and made a seductive gesture like a mermaid. Then, she stared at Liang Lidong with her charming eyes. "The thought of a Necromancer lurking in my territory makes me feel uneasy. Mr. Beta, you are a knowledgeable spellcaster. I would like to entrust you to find this necromancer. Is that possible? "
"I'll try my best."
Even if the mayor's wife didn't give the task, Liang Lidong would've found a way to find the necromancer. He had seen many disasters caused by necromancers in the game, which were indescribably tragic. Besides, this necromancer seemed to have his eyes on him. Although he didn't know why, he believed that as long as he could find the necromancer, he would know the reason.
Liang Lidong left the bedroom. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Katerina waiting for him.
The woman's face was stained with blood. When she saw Liang Lidong, she said with a smile, "The soldiers outside Rex are all under our control. Those troublemakers have all gone to meet their gods. I went to take a look at the scene just now … Your methods are really exaggerated. The flesh and blood are all over the house, and several maids who went to clean it have already fainted. "
"I didn't do it."
Katerina didn't believe him, but she didn't force Liang Lidong to admit it. Instead, she changed the topic. "Rex's clan guards are no longer a threat. Then what about his family? Do you need me to help you eliminate them? "
Although Katerina looked like a mature beauty, she was ruthless. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a venomous beauty. Liang Lidong shook his head. "It's enough to eliminate their forces. Let Rex's wife and daughter live. This is what I promised the deceased."
"Why do you need to talk about promises with a dead person?" Katerina said indifferently.
"Promises are very important." Liang Lidong smiled. "If you assassins don't keep your promises, I don't think you will be able to survive for thousands of years. Lady Katerina should understand the importance of promises and credibility better than I do. "
Katerina chuckled. "Do whatever you want. Since you are willing to talk about promises with a dead person, then you should be able to keep the promise between us. "
In this world, the temptation between people was everywhere. Although Katerina was trying to persuade Liang Lidong to be flexible, in fact, Liang Lidong felt that she was testing him to see how much he valued promises. It was hard to tell the truth from the lies. It was hard to tell the truth from the lies. Those who said they were good for you might not be kind, and those who spoke ill of you all day might be sincere. Nobody dared to say that they could see through everyone's hearts, much less Liang Lidong.
So, he tried his best to show his principles to others. As long as it didn't violate his principles, some things that should be hidden had to be hidden. Lying wasn't necessarily deception, but flexibility. For example, it was impossible for Liang Lidong to confess that he came from another world, not even to Kail and Belin, who were very close to him.
"As for speaking up for you, I will do it." Liang Lidong started to walk downstairs. "But I still need the intelligence support of the assassin guild."
Katerina followed Liang Lidong. "Oh, another business? Mr. Beta, you're the lucky star of the assassin guild. "
"This is very important. Not only does it concern our life and death, but it also concerns the survival of Winterwind."
Katerina frowned. "Is it that serious?"
"I'm certain that a Necromancer is lurking in Winterwind." Liang Lidong heaved a sigh. "The specimen of the chimera in Rex's house, and Rex's death just now, were obviously the work of a Necromancer. I have goosebumps at the thought that such a mobile plague is staying in the city. I talked to the mayor's wife just now. She'll certainly send soldiers to search the city, but that won't be enough. So, I hope that the assassin guild can help. Your intelligence network is broader, and your search should be much more effective than the mayor's soldiers. "
At this moment, Katerina had a headache. As the chairman of a branch of the assassin guild, she had access to much more intelligence than most people. Naturally, she knew how dreadful a Necromancer was. "So, Rex's death really wasn't your doing … Where do the Necromancers usually hide?"
"Based on my personal experience, they usually hide near a graveyard." Liang Lidong shrugged. "Perhaps they hide in places where the air of death and dark elements are particularly dense. Those things will help them attract dark elements. However, the enemy might've guessed that we would look for him in such a place, so he's probably moved. "
Katerina nodded. "Got it. I'll send people to check everywhere. I'll also send people to check the graveyard. Winterwind is my home after all. I can't watch it be threatened by a Necromancer while I do nothing. "
After saying that, Katerina left first. When Liang Lidong was about to leave the castle to see if he could find any clues about the Necromancer, the fat man from the Guelph family came downstairs. He stopped Liang Lidong and said, "Sir, I've received a message from my family. They've agreed to your terms. They'll send someone to deliver Ancestor Dinah's notes in five or six days."
Liang Lidong nodded to show that he understood. Just as he was about to leave, someone stopped him.
"Mr. Beta, was the mist you used a spell just now?" The fatty asked solemnly. "Also, what about Rex's death? I vaguely heard you talking about a Necromancer from upstairs just now …"
Liang Lidong did not want too many people to know about the Necromancer, because it might cause panic. However, the guy seemed to know something, and it would be pointless to keep it a secret. So, after a brief hesitation, Liang Lidong told him what happened just now. After a brief silence, the fatty said, "I've noticed that something is wrong in the city. It might be related to the Necromancer!"
