Chapter 183 During the next few days, Anfey and his team wandered in the forest . Necromancers now knew of their existence . The forest was big and thick, and Anfey was always cautious and alert, which made it hard to locate where Anfey and his team were in the forest .
When necromancers gathered as a group, Anfey would keep a distance away from them . Once a necromancer set out on his own, he would very likely experience a surprise attack by Anfey . After this happened a couple of times, necromancers chose to leave Anfey alone and allow him to wonder in the forest . They stopped bothering him . "A new day! I would like to praise this world," Riska said loudly as he looked at the reddish sunrise in the distance . He sounded like a bard who was sentimental about life and had so much understanding of the world . "Ok, come down . You do not look like a poet . " Suzanna smiled as she walked toward Anfey . "Anfey, here you are . " Anfey took the bread from Suzanna and started to eat it bite by bite . "I do not look like a poet?" Riska did not like Suzanna’s comment . He turned around and asked, "Who looks like a poet? Anfey?" "Of course . " Suzanna felt Riska’s question was stupid . Of course, she believed Anfey looked like a poet . In Suzanna’s eyes, Anfey was a treasure with so many different sides . He was assertive when he was on mission . His assertiveness was tough and manly to Suzanna . When he was in thought, Anfey’s eyes sparkled with wisdom that only philosophers have . Anfey’s sweetness and gentleness made her melt when he was with her . Anfey was just perfect in Suzanna’s eyes . Up to this point, Anfey had never let her down or made her sad . "Nah, he does not look like a poet . He looks like a country bumpkin," Riska murmured . It was the kind of impression Anfely left everyone when he walked into Saul’s house for the first time . Back then, Anfey did not know anything about magic . He smiled to everyone and asked all kinds of questions . He liked to give compliments about things he had never seen before . He looked like a fool to everyone . "Who are you talking about? I think you are a country bumpkin!" Anfey laughed . He did not mind what Riska’s comments, but Suzanna did . "Me, I am talking about myself . " Riska immediately corrected his mistake after seeing Suzanna’s mad face . He released levitation magic and landed in front of Suzanna . He held his right hand out . "Where is my share?" "You do not have a share . Go read your poem," Suzanna said . "Don’t do this to me . I am hungry . " Riska put on a smile to please Suzanna . Suzanna rolled her eyes at Riska . She took out a piece of bread from the bag and tossed it at him . After catching the bread, Riska was about to take a seat on a nearby branch, and then noticed Suzanna and Anfey sitting close to each other . He sighed and stood up, "I am not going out with the two of you if there is another assignment . " "What do you mean?" Suzanna did not know where that comment came from . Steel had to go through high heat to be made . Capacity was built by practicing hard . Shamelessness was developed by doing a lot of shameless things . When Anfey started to date Suzanna, Suzanna felt fast heartbeats and blushed if Anfey sat next to her . As time went by and they had been together for a while, Suzanna got used to sitting next to Anfey . Sometimes if Anfey did not go find her, she would go find Anfey, just like what happened today . "Look at you . You are together all the time," Riska sighed . "Don’t you think you should consider others’ feelings . For example, consider a single, talented, junior magister’s feelings?" "You…" Suzanna blushed . She nudged Anfey to ask Anfey to argue with Riska since she was not good at it . "Your feelings? Sure, it’s my bad . " Anfey smiled . "Great if you understand it," Riska said proudly, "I am very forgiving . I can forgive you . No problem . " "After we go back to Moramatch, I definitely will make it up to you . Riska, what kind of girl do you want?" "What kind?" Riska was a rookie at dating . He felt a little embarrassed talking about what kind of girl he liked . "I do not have specific criteria for a girl, as long as she treats me well . " "Be more specific, Riska . Don’t you like smaller girls?" Riska was a head shorter than Anfey . That was why Anfey asked that question, since most men did not like their girlfriends to be taller than themselves . "Yeah," Riska said .
"Do you like blond or dark-haired girls?" Anfey asked . "Either is fine," Riska said . "Do you like shy or aggressive girls?" Anfey asked .
"Of course the former kind of girls," Riska answered . Anfey gave it some thought . "Oh, you like this kind of girl . She has black hair and big eyes . She is small and shy . She would just peek at men and dare not look at men in the eye . She would smile with her mouth covered when she feels happy . She is timid and scared to death if she were attacked by aggressive magic beasts or faced with other threats . That would give you a chance to be her hero . She is very obedient . Once she likes you, she would follow exactly what you say . Even when you asked her to kneel down to serve you, she would not hesitate for a second . " "Yeah . " Riska felt something weird about Anfey’s words, but did not take it seriously . "Trust me . I can find you one in our legion," Anfey said, smiling . "Who are you talking about? Do I know her?" Riska felt even more weird since there were only a few girls in the legion . He could not think of any girl who fit Anfey’s description . "Don’t you trust me? Don’t worry . I will pick a girl from gnomes when we get back," Anfey said . "Gnomes?" Riska almost fell from the tree . "You look so excited . Are you that happy?" Anfey asked .
"Ok, ok, Anfey, I am begging you to shut your mouth . " Riska helplessly waved his hand . He just realized Anfey was playing with him . No wonder Anfey stressed out small girls . Gnomes were indeed the smallest in terms of their body type . "You don’t like gnomes? Dwarves fit into your criteria as well," Anfey said . "F*^k those dwarves!" Riska stood up . "Let me take a walk over there . If you like dwarves, you can keep them as long as Suzanna does not mind . " "Wait a second," Anfey said . "I cannot wait . " Riska released his levitation magic as he shook his head . When he turned around to look at Anfely, he was shocked . Anfey’s smiles had gone, and he had put on a serious look . "Anfey, what happened?" Suzanna noticed the look on Anfey as well . "Not much . Today those necromancers should take large-scale action," Anfey said slowly . Not long ago, he sensed an evil spirit from the Evil Abyss screaming and struggling . Obviously, the evil spirit he sent out had been found by a necromancer . That necromancer must have the ability to attack an evil spirit and at least have the ability to kill a low level evil spirit from the Evil Abyss . "How do you know?" Riska asked in surprise . "Let’s get ready for it . " Anfey did not respond to Riska . It had been a clear day, but suddenly it was getting dark . The dark clouds were in all kinds of weird shapes . They looked like pieces of lead floating in the sky . They were getting bigger and bigger and connected together at the end . The clouds covered the whole sky . Looking from the ground, the sky looked like it had turned into a gigantic turtle shell hovering in the sky . This kind of darkness was not as pitch dark as late night, but made people feel worried . Even the wind slowed down in the forest . It seemed that the wind even took on a lot of pressure . Riska saw groups of zombies walking out of Kekkai and stepping into the forest . The Kekkai behind the zombies used to give Riska headaches, and now was disappearing at a speed that could be noticed by the naked eye . Riska hurried to switch the angels Eyes of Sky to the areas he wanted to watch the most but could not see . The thick dark fog had moved away and showed the real scene behind it . Riska was confused since he did not see anything but bones everywhere . "They have finished it," Riska murmured . "No matter what it was that the necromancers wanted to do, they have finished . " "Not exactly . " Anfey shook his head . "Necromancers sent out all the zombies . They must want to do something big . Maybe this is what they really wanted to do the whole time . " "Anfey, did you notice we still could not sense the Breath of Death even though those zombies had left Kekkai?" Suzanna said in a worrying tone . Anfey and Riska looked at each other . They could see the shock in each other’s eyes . Necromancers were powerful, and their potential had no limit, but they did have a fatal flaw . Once they used the death magic, they would be hanging a plate on their neck, saying "Come to kill me . " The more death organisms necromancers would call out, the more powerful they would get . Of course, they expose themselves in a shorter time . If that senior necromancer could hide his magic surges when he called out the death organism, it meant death magic had reached a milestone in their magic . People usually would not feel terrified if their enemies were not easy to beat, since there were one person in their legion who definitely could beat them . However, it was terrifying to have an invisible enemy . "What do those necromancers want to do?" Riska sounded like he was asking himself . He looked confused . "I don’t know what made them take such a large-scale action . " Anfey shook his head . "I have no other way but secretly following them . " "Riska, I feel…" Anfey hesitated for a second . "Those zombies seem different . " "I have noticed that as well . " Riska nodded . "When those death organisms reach a certain number, necromancers would add contract incantation to death organisms to better control them . It is nothing . It is only used to prove the ability of that senior necromancer . "
