- At dusk, sitting in the well-decorated, comfortable and stable carriage, Lady Margaret was having a heated relationship with the young and handsome coachman - realizing that she could not use the unique advantages of being a woman to stay. Next, she diverted her attention from the new lord who was not interested in her at all, and instead began to seduce the coachman who would be responsible for transporting her out of the viscounty - it had been less than a day since they met. , the attitudes shown by each other are already very familiar, almost like good friends who have known each other for many years.
She is quite satisfied with the current situation. In name, it was to ensure that she would have a worry-free life for the rest of her life, but actually as a reward for not cooperating with that organization called the Faceless Men, the new lord gave her a large sum of silver coins and jewelry, enough for her to stay in Junshan Palace. Maintain a superior new life anywhere in the country. With this wealth, little Edward, and her maid, she promised to leave the Viscounty of Rosen and never come back.
Lady Margaret was originally planning to set off in the morning, but the new lord reminded her that Little Edward's identity was very sensitive, and arranged for her to set off after the sun had set, so that she could leave the viscounty before dawn to avoid trouble. In order to protect the safety of life and property, she fully agreed with this and had no doubts about the meaning of this arrangement.
"I know you must remember" After saying some polite words to wish the other party a safe journey as usual, Du Ze seemed to have mentioned this topic inadvertently. "the agreement we made."
"Of course, I remember it very well, Mr. Duze." If Lady Margaret had cared about what happened at that banquet, she would definitely not be able to face the new lord so naturally, but she has never been interested in political issues. . "Your generosity is irresistible." She smiled and patted a small box full of jewelry next to her. "Edward will change his last name to mine," she said. "No one will ever know about his relationship with the Lawson family."
"That's the best. Finally, I wish you enjoy your new life, Mrs. Margaret." Du Ze nodded towards the other party.
The coachman who drove the carriage was a handsome young man. He talked humorously and knew how to please women. He easily won the love of women. He was much younger than Lady Margaret, a native of the viscounty, and had no living relatives. When he passed by the new lord, he looked at the new lord and cast a grateful look - this kind of opportunity to spend a long time with a rich and lonely aristocratic widow did not come around all the time. As long as he can please Lady Margaret, he can become a member of the wealthy class. Although he could not become a noble, he would be satisfied as long as he no longer had to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.
I wish you success.
The new lord also gave a look that even a man could understand.
When the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the western sky, the carriage left Rosenborg and headed west along the road. That's the direction to other territories. After acquiring a large amount of wealth, Lady Margaret did not plan to return to her hometown, but planned to start over in a new place.
While the carriage driver tried his best to please the noble lady sitting in the carriage with words, he vaguely felt something following behind the carriage. He thought it might be some kind of wild beast, and even hoped that the wild beast would appear soon, so as to give him a chance to show his bravery, reliability and masculinity in front of Lady Margaret. Hanging on his waist was a somewhat blunt old long sword, which was a relic left to him by his father. Coupled with his skill, it should be enough to deal with an animal that looks a bit threatening, such as a lone wolf or a wild dog.
This journey may not go smoothly
After bidding farewell to Lady Margaret and having dinner, Du Ze came to his new room - it was the room that belonged to the lord, not the guest room where he lived before. After Lady Margaret left, the servants had carefully cleaned the room, replaced the pillows and sheets on the big bed, and adjusted the furniture in the room according to the new lord's preferences.
Sitting on the big cushioned chair, Du Ze opened the human skin book, wanting to try to learn more about the knowledge recorded in it. He felt that he had almost mastered the creation of the Dark Warrior.
Turning to the chapter about the Dark Warrior, he continued to turn to the next page and found that there was a record of an undead creature tentatively named the Shadow Warrior. According to the author, the shadow warrior can be roughly understood as a 'more powerful dark warrior', but strictly speaking this is a 'completely wrong way of understanding for laymen'. Shadow warriors are by no means simple undead like dark warriors, but some kind of special and magical creation between living creatures and undead. It combines the advantages of living beings and undead, and avoids some of the shortcomings of both. In a sense, it is 'almost perfect'.
It can be seen from the records of the author of the human skin book that the author has such feelings about himself.?Very proud of the invention.
"However, I have not actually created a shadow warrior because I can't find a way to completely preserve the soul. According to my actual calculations, to achieve the ideal effect, it should be necessary to extract the soul directly from the living body, using magic or other means Keep it in some kind of special container-" the author of the human skin book wrote later: "-I am fully confident that as long as this last problem is solved, the creation of shadow warriors is completely feasible in theory. ."
After this explanation, the author also gave a special undead spell, and wrote proudly that this spell was completely created by himself. The effect of this spell is to transfer a well-preserved soul into a fresh carrier through an extremely complex method and give it a new form of life. This is a necessary process to create a shadow warrior.
The structure of this spell is completely different from the spells with similar uses that Du Ze has learned.
Du Ze does not think that the spells he masters are simplified versions of the former. They are obviously two different spells. He carefully memorized the information about this special spell, preparing to learn it first and then slowly understand its uses. Compared with the production of dark warriors, the production of shadow warriors seems simpler. The corpse used to create the shadow warrior does not need to be processed. It only needs to be kept as fresh as possible, and then the soul is infused with this special spell, and the creation of the shadow warrior is completed.
"The soul of the shadow warrior must be absolutely intact -" the author of the Human Skin Book wrote: "-otherwise it is not a shadow warrior, but something indistinguishable from a zombie."
Just like the problem encountered by the author of the Human Skin Book, Du Ze was unable to actually create a shadow warrior because he also did not know how to extract and preserve a complete soul.
When a living being dies and the soul overflows from its body, the soul will be damaged to varying degrees. This damage is irreversible and inevitable. Even if a creature's soul is collected immediately after death, the collected soul will still be incomplete. Magicians speculate that this may be due to the impact of the death process on the soul, causing it to be damaged and begin to gradually break. Researchers of necromancy have always hoped to find ways to avoid this damage in order to improve the quality of raw materials and manufactured undead servants, but no one has been able to find a truly feasible way.
Turning over the chapter about the shadow warriors, Du Ze wanted to find some more practical content to learn, but the back was completely blank - only about a quarter of the pages in the human skin book recorded information, and the following pages contained information. The pages are blank. For some peculiar reason, the author did not finish the book. This is an unfinished magic book.
"Damn it."
Du Ze muttered something and closed the human skin book. He rubbed his dry eyes, shifted his body's weight back, and relaxed against the back of the chair. His guardian knight sat on a chair next to him, looking also a little tired. It had taken hours to read and understand what was going on about the Shadow Warriors, and it was already midnight. "Yulia" He turned his head and looked at his guardian knight, and found that the other party was also looking at him. "I'm going to go to bed."
"Um."
Yulia¡¯s response was simple. She was still sitting in the chair. Ever since she swore she would never leave Du Ze again, she really did it and followed Du Ze almost all the time. For this reason, in the past week, she has not had a good meal or a bath, and has insisted on sleeping on a chair or even a carpet.
"Look, there are two dark warriors here. They can be on alert at any time and can also keenly detect anyone sneaking close to here." Du Ze tried to persuade Yulia to have a good rest. This isn't the first time he's tried to do this. "You can leave for a while, take a shower, sleep in bed, and adjust yourself, instead of letting yourself become physically and mentally exhausted during the long vigil like now. That is not conducive to protecting others."
"Um."
Yulia agreed that this statement was indeed reasonable, but she still did not want to leave. In order to avoid being persuaded by the other party, she simply responded with the simplest method, thereby reducing the possibility of being persuaded.
"Okay, but you should at least take off your chain mail - you've been wearing it for a whole week." Du Ze sighed. "I'm afraid you have forgotten what it feels like to sleep in a bed." He pointed to the large bed prepared for the lord. "It's very spacious. Apart from the space required by an ordinary person, it is also enough for a knight to sleep on it together with her horse, isn't it?"
This suggestion made Yulia hesitate a little. Wearing heavy chain mail all day is not comfortable, and sleeping on a chair or carpet for a night can also make your muscles sore. She has been feeling uncomfortable these past few days, which will undoubtedly affect??Performance in combat. For these reasons, she almost agreed to Du Ze directly, but then she remembered that this was not in line with her status, and because of other important reasons, she couldn't do this.
"No." She replied briefly: "I sleep on the chair."
"Either you sleep on the bed, or I ask the servants to add another bed." Du Ze stood up, as if he really wanted to call the servants.
"etc!"
Thinking of that embarrassing scene, Yulia immediately changed her mind. She had heard those rumors - those despicable and false rumors about the relationship between her and Du Ze - and she knew that almost everyone in the castle believed it to one degree or another. A guard knight of the opposite sex who follows the lord at all times is suspicious enough. If there is another extra bed, people will definitely misunderstand it and think it is a cover-up. Although she holds herself to the standards of a warrior most of the time and even tends to ignore this, when faced with this kind of problem, she can still remember that she is a woman.
"I agree." When she said this, she felt a little nervous for no reason. "This is to better fulfill the duty of the guardian knight." She quickly found a logical reason for herself. "It's my responsibility to keep myself in good shape."
