Servant Of The Necromancer

An Unwarranted Disaster

After listening to Asa explain how his troops were wiped out on the mountain, the knight let out a long sigh and lowered his head in deep thought.

Asa sat in the velvet chair, fingers kneading the soft, smooth velvet.He had only seen this before.The old pedant in the village had that thin layer in the box in which the holy book was placed.When he was three years old, he saw an older child just pinch with his hand, and the hand was beaten until it could not hold the spoon for three days.

Such a noble and beautiful thing was actually sitting under his butt. It made him feel a little strange and a little satisfying

Duke of Mrak went to the Imperial City to attend the military meeting. A young knight who called himself Duke's assistant met him.

The knight's armor and sword were of the highest quality. Asa had seen the insignia of the Holy Knights on his captain before.He was young, handsome, mighty, with an extraordinary air, a noble identity, and a flawless temperament. The captain seemed to be the hero of a story he often heard from a bard when he was young.

It was still a strange and satisfying feeling that such a character was sitting on the same level as him, still meditating on what he had reported, just like the chair, but magnified several times.

"Then you're the only one to break out, be hunted down, fight in the lizard swamp...The knight repeated Asa's story.Speak clearly, slowly and methodically.As if afraid that others can not hear or mishear his words.

Asa nodded." That's it."The journey made him very thirsty. He picked up the pot on the table and poured himself a cup of milk tea.

"Are you sure that you are the only one who escaped?"The knight furrowed his brows and looked at him with a deep and elegant gaze. He slowly asked word by word.It was as if this was an extremely important question.

He was sure of it, but Asa recalled it carefully and nodded. "Yes. Just me." The milk tea tastes good, but the cup is too small. ASA kept drinking and pouring. In fact, he wanted to drink with the spout, but the magnificence of the Duke's mansion and the eyes of the knights made him embarrassed.

The knight relaxed his brows for a moment, then furrowed his brows even harder and asked seriously," Then who did you tell me about this?"

"No."This Asa was very certain.He had been running nonstop ever since he left the swamp.There was even a bandage wrapped around his left wrist.

Thanks to the healing runes and potions in their bags, they were able to walk out of the river and find a dead tree to float to Brakada.When the magistrate found out that the injured was the daughter of Duke Mrack, he immediately found the priests and doctors within a radius of 50 miles.The ribs on Asa's chest had been reattached. He had recovered quite well under the healing effect, but he was a little weak.Because his left wrist was badly broken, it took him a whole day to find a few Butchers and coroners to find the bone fragments mixed in his flesh.Asa fainted three times in pain. He used an astonishing amount of healing techniques and drugs. It wasn't easy for him to return to his original state. The pain was eliminated, but he was also suspected of being disabled.Now, Asa placed all his hopes on the wealth and power of Duke Mrack and the level of the priests in the king's city.

"Then why didn' t you report this matter to the commander of your army?"The knight was still asking patiently and carefully, trying to grasp the slightest detail in his heart.His focused expression was very much like that of a child. He carefully watched Asa with a bit of caution, as if he was afraid that the things in front of him would suddenly fly away.

"Because I don't know who's in charge of my troops."I only saw that I was recruiting temporary soldiers in Brakada, so I went to participate."At first, Asa wanted to ask him about his salary for the past ten days. He wanted to know who he should ask for more than ten copper coins. But when he looked at the cup in his hand, he realized that it was silver. He was too embarrassed to say so."I asked Olivia... who should Miss report this to? She said that the Duke is the military minister of the empire."I just want to report it faster."

"Oh, I see.""Good, good, great."The knight's brows suddenly lit up. He seemed relieved and happy.His smile was as dazzling as the blonde hair on his head. It was very contagious.Most girls' dream lovers were like this.

The knight seemed to suddenly think of something and asked," So Miss Olivia..."

"It's fine. The mayor of Brakada used a convoy to escort her. She' ll be in the king's city in about 20 days."Olivia's cervical spine cracked under the werewolf's grip. As she walked out of the swamp, her injuries worsened and her bones slightly deformed.The priests of Brakada did not dare to make a move. They could only use the healing technique to fix her, then use the splint to slowly send her back to the king's city.

"Yes."The knight nodded."On behalf of the Duke, I would like to thank you for saving Miss Olivia."After a pause, he looked straight at Asa and said in a slow and clear voice," Besides, it's a very right choice for you to directly report this matter to the Duke's Mansion.""I think Duke Mrack will be very happy to know."His blue eyes revealed an expression of joy."Your luck is too good. It's really too good."These words were spoken with great force, as if he was really glad of Asa's luck.

For some reason, Asa felt a little uneasy from the knight's shining eyes. This did not seem to be a gesture of goodwill, and there was a malicious glee flickering within it.Asa asked," Are you...?"

"Baron Clovis Ernie, the captain of the second division of the Holy Knights, and the assistant of Duke Mrack."The knight retracted his gaze, his voice smooth and smooth, and these noble titles were intertwined."Miss Olivia's fiancé."

"Ah?"Asa was a bit surprised by his last identity as a knight.

The knight stood up with his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes shining like blades.There was not a trace of a smile on his face. He was so mighty that it seemed as if this face had never been softened by a smile."Someone come!" he shouted."Take it."

More than 10 fully-armed guards appeared at the entrance of the hall and surrounded Asa.

Asa did not wake up from his previous shock, but he immediately fell into another bigger situation.He stood up and said," Did you make a mistake? I said..."

The knight's hand Knife did not give Asa any time to react and accurately cut into the artery on his neck.Asgard immediately fell to the ground like an empty pocket.

"Bring him into prison and order him to guard him properly."The knight's voice was more intimidating than his gaze. The guards hurriedly sent Asa out."Prepare the horse and token."I have an urgent military situation and want to meet the Duke at the palace."

It was a dangerous good luck for the Duke.Of course it's own.The knight picked up the cup on the table and tried to have a sip of tea, but found the cup that Asa had just used.He picked up the pot and found it empty.

The knight dropped' cup and pointed at the velvet chair that Asa had just sat on and ordered," Throw away this cup, the pot, and the chair."I added as I stepped out of the gate."Don't let me see it when I come back."

Not only were the servants of the duke's mansion efficient, but the horses they prepared were also very fast.In just over ten minutes, the knight arrived at the military conference hall through the guards and met Duke Mrack.

After hearing the knight's short whisper, the duke smiled gently and said to the ministers with a gentle tone," I' m sorry, please allow me to leave.""It's my daughter's business. She was messing around outside and was injured."

In the garden outside the hall, the knight repeated every word that Asa had told him.

Duke narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.His eyes were not big, and he squinted as if he was smiling. He had a neatly trimmed moustache, which contrasted with his slightly plump body. His round face felt like a kind middle-aged businessman who believed that peace was the only way to make money.

"Lord Duke, this matter is truly dangerous. Fortunately, this soldier fell into our hands." Leylin said.Did this mean that something was wrong with them?"We should..." the knight asked.

The smile on the duke's face didn' t diminish in the slightest as he asked the knight," I remember you met them."

"Yes."

"What kind of people do you think they are?"

The knight took a deep breath and revealed an expression that did not match him. He was unconvincedced, he could not hide his fear. It was as if he was thinking of a stubborn youth who had once shocked him.The knight furrowed his brows and insisted," But this is indeed a mistake..."

"No one wouldn't make mistakes, and no one would be able to control everything."As long as I pass a reasonable analysis, I should believe in my feelings and mind. Even if something goes wrong, I don' t need to regret or hesitate."The duke explained to the young knight like a teacher who was giving lessons to his students."Since we believe that they are better at solving such matters than we are, and much more efficient than we are, we can only focus on our own matters.If something went wrong, perhaps there were some uncontrollable factors, such as luck, there was nothing we could do.At the very least, it didn' t seem to be a problem."Right?"

"Yes."The knight listened carefully to Duke.Following such a boss, the biggest gain was that there were many places to learn.

The Duke's eyes were filled with worry." How is Olivia's injury?"

"Was probably fine."The local government sent a convoy to escort her."

Duke looked at the knight and sighed.Then he asked," What did you do with that soldier?"

"In the prison of the city, to be dealt with by you."

The Duke asked," What do you think I will do with him?"

"Kill."

The Duke asked again," Where do you think this soldier is in danger?"

"Leak out what he's been through."

The duke guided the knight step by step:" He's a little more dangerous to us if he's alive for a minute.And since you know what to do with him, you should kill him as soon as possible and reduce his chances of contact with others."

"I want to wait for you to make a decision. After all, this matter is very important."

"Don't be too rigid with the rules. Rules exist to handle things."No matter what the situation is, we must put our judgment and rational analysis first."Duke looked at the knight and said word by word," More importantly, you need to be confident in your judgment."

"Yes."The knight bowed his head and answered with great force.

When Duke of Mrak returned to the chamber with a smile, ministers asked about his daughter's injuries.After thanking all of you for your concern, the Duke suggested that the meeting continue with the topic just discussed:" I am in favour of the general's request for an increase in the financial allocation to his Western clear out the orc tribes.After all, the security of the country and its people is paramount, and it is only right to reduce the budget elsewhere."
