"There are undeads under our feet!" Stilwell was shocked, and then he scolded the cold man with a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier... Your duty is to help me avoid these damn undeads. Marcus, I warn you that if you do this, we will all die here."

Marcus's tone did not fluctuate at all. He said to himself: "That woman is not a necromancer, the secret should be in that kettle.

Even I... cannot guarantee that the undead will not approach us every time. But she can easily keep the undead away, even if we step on them, the undead will not move.

I have been patrolling around our camp these nights.

Do you know, what did I find?"

"What?" Stilwell stared carefully at the sand below, for fear that the undead would suddenly emerge from below.

Marcus's tone began to become excited: "It was not until 500 meters away from the camp that I found that there were no undead wandering. Within this range, even if there were no undead buried under the sand, there was no movement... without any resistance.

This is something that all the necromancers I know cannot do. The undead is a very difficult species. The stronger the undead, the more difficult it is to control. But the things in that woman's kettle can suppress the undead indiscriminately. This is something that all the undead mages dream of."

Hearing Marcus's greed, Stilwell immediately persuaded: "Marcus, I warn you that mercenaries have mercenary rules... During the period of employment, a grain of sand that is not ours cannot be put into our pockets.

This is related to the future survival of our brothers.

Since you said Miss Jessica is not a necromancer, then everything in her kettle has nothing to do with us... Let her continue to drive away the undead, and it is difficult to find a job that does not have to work with money. This time everyone can go back safely."

Stilwell's words did not dispel Marcus's peeping at the kettle, and he murmured: "You don't know, you don't know what the things in there meant to a necromancer...

Every time she used that thing to drive away the dead, my heart hurts... If that thing is in my hands, I can control an army of dead spirits.

I can uncover the secrets of the dead, break the boundaries between living beings and the dead... to obtain eternal life.

Stilwell, do you want to obtain eternal life?

If you want to… just grab the things in the kettle for me.”

"I don't want to!" Stilwell said firmly, and he grabbed Marcus's collar and pulled it in front of him, threatening: "Miss Jessica is a 10th-level magician, Sir Charles is a famous adventurer, and he is definitely a strong man... If you have a conflict with them, we may all die here.

And I have no interest in becoming like you. Listen to your voice... I doubt you are still a man now.

Marcus…I warn you!

The honor of a mercenary is the life of a mercenary. If you dare to be unfavorable to Miss Jessica... I will break your head first."

Marcus's body had been lifted from the camel's back by Stilwell. He raised his hand and looked surrendering, begging: "No, no, no... Stilwell, please forgive me, I'm just a little out of my composure.

I promise I won't cause you any trouble.

After so many years, you have protected me, and I will never betray you and our mercenary group."

Stilwell let go of Marcus, and because they deliberately lowered their voices at the end of the team, no one else noticed the conflict between them.

Marcus seemed to be timid and shrank his body on the camel's back. Stilwell glanced at the timid necromancer with contempt and drove the camel forward.

At this time, a black beetle landed on Stilwell's back and found the gap in the clothes and drilled into it.

The expedition team continued to sneak... Jessica didn't know that a crisis was coming quietly.

Sir Charles was still focused on observing the desert terrain, taking photos from time to time, and taking out his notebook from time to time to time to record his discovery. However, no one saw a faint shadow attached to his ears, and the shadow seemed like a little evil demon lying in his ears and whispering.

During the day, the expedition team was heading north. According to the itinerary arranged by Sir Charles, they would first arrive along the Dosan Railway, and then the military airships of the Florminke Empire would release them a supply. After receiving the supplies, the expedition team continued to explore the southeast until they entered the province of Marcelles and ended the expedition across the desert.

With limited conditions and limited manpower, exploring the Dead Desert will be a long process. In order to uncover the secrets of Jessica, Sir Charles formulated a plan to explore the Dead Desert twenty deep. He set the rest and recuperation location in the city of Saroyang, which is convenient for information and materials, and obtained the convenience provided by the Florminke Empire.

It's just that the first expedition is not over yet, and he and Jessica will have to face a crisis.

After nightfall, the expedition team stationed at the top of a large sand dune, with a wide view here. If any undead approaches, they can discover it early and then decide whether to destroy the undead or escape.

When the bonfire is lit, the camels are driven to the periphery of the camp to form a circle, and then the mercenaries take out the holy water and spray it on the camels one by one. At night in the Death Desert, the rise of the dead air will seriously endanger the health of the creatures. The holy water provided by the Viagra has a weak effect of expelling negative states. Although it cannot drive away the dead air, it can prevent the creatures from being affected by the dead air for a period of time.

The camels were properly placed, and the mercenaries also sprinkled some holy water on each other. After sending out the night guard post, everyone gathered around the fire to eat and prepare to rest.

At this time, a small drizzle fell from the sky. After the slightly moist air was sucked in, it made people feel very comfortable... The mercenaries began to be glad that their employer was a magician this time. This large-scale rain magic was simply a magic wand for Jessica.

Let their trip to the desert not be as difficult as before.

Although there are several mercenaries with magic power in the mercenary group, their magic power is all triggered by using low-level magic potential induced potions and combined with some local methods. There is no way to compare with the regular magic academy. Magic power can only allow them to use some combat skills or trigger enchantment techniques in low-level alchemy muskets.
