As a result, Kemp missed and bumped into the table behind him.
Kemp stared blankly at the emerging corpse and said, "Oh right, Diana, you're dead."
Leo's eyes were indifferent as he asked, "What's your name?"
"Diana".
"How did you die?"
He died from blood loss after having both legs severed.
Do you know who cut off your legs?
"I don't know, but the person who killed me was wearing a white robe, which looked a lot like a wizard's attire."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Kemp's eyes, and he said, "It really was a wizard. I knew it was a wizard who killed my family."
Leo remained unmoved and asked, "How did the wizard who killed you manage to kill you?"
"He was accompanied by two burly men. These two men tied me up, and then he took a long sword and cut off both of my legs."
Leo asked, "Did the wizard you encountered use any magic?"
"no."
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Kemp's eyes.
The clothing that Diana described did indeed resemble that of a wizard.
But since he's a wizard, killing one person certainly doesn't require the help of two strong men.
Moreover, wizards are usually solitary beings; even when they occasionally act together, they are always with other wizards.
A wizard, accompanied by two burly men, was aiming to sever the legs of a mortal woman with a sword... Even Kemp, who was filled with rage towards the wizard, realized something was amiss.
Kemp asked, "What about our son? Was our son killed by them too?"
The phantom did not answer.
This is a spell cast by Leo; she only obeys Leo.
Leo repeated what Kemp had said.
The phantom said, "My son was killed in the same way as me."
Leo dispelled the illusory image and said, "Alright, that's enough."
Kemp spoke up, "Wait, wizard, let me say a few more words to Diana."
Leo shook his head and said, "That wasn't part of our deal. I was only responsible for finding out what happened at the time."
Kemp's eyes flickered as he said, "Let me speak with Diana a few more words, or I won't take you to find Grandpa Elise's body."
Leo glanced back at Kemp and said, "If you're threatening me, I admit you're quite bold. But it's also possible you're very confident in your abilities and are trying to test a wizard's patience."
At this moment, Kemp, who had not felt any threat from Leo, began to tremble, his heart filled with fear.
The slight magical pressure released by Leo was enough to intimidate these mortals who had no spiritual energy and low physical strength.
Under the pressure of the magic, Kemp lowered his head and replied, "I...I understand."
Leo withdrew his magical pressure, turned around and said, "Now it's time for you, Mr. Camp, to fulfill my conditions."
Kemp watched Leo's retreating figure, then called out to him, "Wizard, aren't you going to explain yourself? You wizards have killed so many people for your experiments, don't you have any reaction at all?"
"No," Leo said coldly. "Even if a wizard did that, he is him, and I am me."
"Also, not every wizard is as gentle as I am."
Leo's tone remained unchanged.
But what he said made Kemp realize that he was also a wizard.
Leo said, "You should be glad you sent a wizarding genius to the Tower of Dawn, otherwise you'd be a corpse right now."
"Alright, now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
Leo said impatiently, then turned and left the house.
Camp was left looking confused and puzzled.
He didn't know who to believe.
A wizard? Or perhaps Earl Laurent?
But in Camp's eyes, neither of them were good people!
Grandpa Elise's body was buried in the ground, in the hills behind the town.
Kemp pointed to the tombstone ahead and said, "That's Grandpa Elise's grave. I don't know what you're planning to do. But if you act rashly..."
Before Kemp could finish speaking, Leo raised his hand, and the magical hand transformed into a giant sword, piercing through the soil with a loud boom.
As the stab struck, there was a sound of thick wood being pierced.
Leo withdrew his magical hand, and a crater appeared before him, containing a pierced coffin.
Upon seeing this, Kemp exclaimed in a panic, "Wizard, you are blaspheming the dead! You will be punished!"
Leo ignored him and used his magical hand to remove a part of the corpse, a remnant that could be used to cast necromancy, and then used his magical hand to transform it into a large shovel.
After a couple of quick touches, the grave is refilled.
After doing all this, Leo turned and left.
He ignored Camp next to him.
Leo returned to the cabin in Camp where he had just been, and Bose was still waiting for him.
Leo grabbed Bose and said, "You're coming with me to the Tower of Dawn."
"...My lord wizard, I've said everything I need to say. Please, please spare me. I truly never intended to do anything detrimental to you from the very beginning. Please, please, spare me."
Leo pretended not to hear and took off immediately.
A secret building inside a mine in the Lord Laurent estate.
Hundreds of civilians dressed in linen clothes gathered here.
The commoners' eyes were filled with hatred for the sorcerer.
The portly Earl Laurent patted his belly and said, "Sir, everything is as you see. We have gathered over five hundred decapitation soldiers, each of whom has cultivated divine power and is equipped with sacred medicine. Even if the wizards of the Tower of Dawn were to come in person, they would likely suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of these soldiers."
Beside Earl Laurent stood a figure dressed in a white robe.
Earl Laurent looked at the figure, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Well, now that we've reached this point, my task is complete. The rest is up to you nobles to do yourselves."
.
"Hehe, Mr. Chosen One, with this help, I believe we will definitely be able to reclaim ownership of this continent from the wizards. We nobles are the true rulers of this continent! At that time, we will also make your Divine Will Cult the sole religion of the Socratic Empire."
Some religions also existed in the countries of the former Twin Continents.
Some of these religions have an influence that even surpasses that of a large country.
But with the arrival of the sorcerers, these religions were completely eradicated.
Wizards do not need faith.
This self-proclaimed chosen one from the Church of God's Will brought divine medicine and power to Earl Laurent and other nobles.
In exchange, once the nobles drove away the wizards, their Socratic Empire would adopt Divine Will as the sole religion within the country.
The one favored by the gods turned around, preparing to leave.
But at that moment, a shadow of malice flashed in Earl Laurent's eyes, and he said, "Wait, Mr. Chosen One, there is less than a month left before our battle with the Tower of Dawn. Why don't you stay in my territory and watch the great battle between our noble faction and the Tower of Dawn?"
"Or do you also think we have no chance of winning?"
