Now, Xiahou Yan is completely confused.

This is not the unexpected effect of the resurrection technique - Elliot Igor, a noble young master, was famous for his idleness and lack of professionalism when he was studying at the Mage Academy: he almost failed all the exams in the serious magic class, but Elliot was particularly curious about those taboo magic.

For example, necromancer spells, curses, and demon summoning rituals...

This is probably why, before Elliot left the school town, he took away a large package of banned books.

When I was in the city, Elliot had actually tried the resurrection technique in necromancers - of course not for people, but for a dead cockroach.

The resurrection technique was cast very successfully. A cockroach that had been dead for two days was resurrected into a single in the room...

Zombie cockroach.

Yes, death cannot be reversed. According to the existing magic theory, the true "resurrection" does not exist - the so-called "resurrection technique" in necromancers, whose function is to resurrect people into zombies controlled by the caster.

This is also Xiahou Yan's purpose: Since the combat ability of zombies is linked to their strength during their lifetime, then after the master-level swordsman Alice is cast, he will surely become a powerful zombie, thereby replenishing the combat power most needed by the team at present?

——Turning a dead person into a zombie is undoubtedly a decision that goes against ethics, but it is the only way out under the current circumstances.

However, after Xiahou Yan made such a great determination to recite the spell of the resurrection technique to Alice, he found out...

...It seems that something is wrong?

According to the "Essence of Necromancer", the sign of the effect of the resurrection technique is that the phantom of the god of death appears above the target corpse. According to Eliot's memory, when the dead cockroach was resurrected, you can indeed see a black human figure wearing a hooded and a sickle briefly appearing in the air.

But this time, after he finished reciting the spell of the resurrection technique, the one who appeared above Alice's body was a completely different but extremely familiar figure-

Long robe with wide sleeves, beautiful beard and black beard, bead curtain and crown...

Is this the King of Hell?! Xiahou Yan stared at the wide-body fat black-robed official who appeared and disappeared in a daze. Then he lowered his head and stared blankly at the wound in Alice Comstock's throat, as if he was stitched by invisible needles and threads, healing as fast as before.

Then, the female swordsman's long eyelashes trembled for a moment, and then two tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Xiahou Yan stretched out his hand in a blank mind, trying to wipe away the two tears, but saw Alice slowly opening her eyes.

They were eyes as blue as the sea. Xiahou Yan's hands were frozen in the air and dared not move.

Then he heard a slight sound like a mosquito:

"Sir Elliot, I... want to eat jerky meat."

Xiahou Yan felt his brain explode with a bang - what is the jerky meat!

And, can zombies speak?!

Xiahou Yan staggered back two steps, and even the book "The Essence of Necromancer" fell to the ground. He watched Alice Comstock sit up hard from the wool felt, and then looked here with her big blue eyes.

"That..." Xiahou Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Eliot... Lord?" Alice Comstock asked softly, somewhat confused, his voice a little hoarse at first, but soon returned to normal, "Where is this? Has the corpse tide faded?"

"This is... the campsite of the convoy." Xiahou Yan looked at the "zombie" who was too "vibrant" and reluctantly replied, "The tide of corpse has been temporarily dumped by us... Alice? How do you... feel?"

"I..." Alice wanted to answer the Lord's question, but she felt a little confused, so she covered her forehead with her hands, "I remember... I should have died in the tide of corpses... Then, in the dark, there seemed to be a voice saying, "My Lord wants to resurrect me, and then I woke up..."

Resurrection? Alice Comstock read the word again in his heart, and then suddenly realized it.

"Mr. Elliot?" Alice looked at Xiahou Yan in surprise, "It was you... who resurrected me?"

She vaguely remembered that her lord seemed to be a magician...

——By the way, can the magician still resurrect the dead? The female swordsman, who is seriously lacking in magic knowledge, is a little confused.

"It's true that I resurrected you..." Xiahou Yan replied with difficulty, feeling a fever on his face, "Sorry, I can't ask for your opinion, but we really need you now, so I tried to use a resurrection technique..."

Alice was stunned for a moment, then smiled, bowed to Xiahou Yan and said:

"Mr. Elliot, thank you! Alice Comstock, Captain of the Eagle Vacation Castle, is willing to continue serving you!"

He also serves the wife. The female swordsman said silently in her heart at the same time, feeling a warm feeling surge in her chest.

Xiahou Yan then breathed a sigh of relief. He focused on his energy and carefully looked at Alice's appearance.

The wound on the female swordsman's throat had been completely repaired by the resurrection technique. The white skin was exposed in the middle of the broken collar, as if there had never been a fatal injury there; Alice supported the ground with her hands and sat obliquely on the sheepskin felt, her chest slightly undulating as she breathed.

Except for being slightly weak, this female swordsman seemed to be no different from that of ordinary people.

However, her face was still as white as snow, as if it was not a bit bloody.

"Please forgive me." Xiahou Yan hesitated for a moment, but still approached Alice and reached out to her face. When his fingertips touched Alice's face, the female swordsman trembled for a moment, but did not resist.

So Xiahou Yan pressed his hands tightly on Alice's cheek, and immediately felt a biting cold in his palm.

——No doubt, this is not the body temperature that a living person should have.

"Big, sir?" Alice looked up at her lord, resisting the shame and trembling in her heart.

Xiahou Yan pondered for a moment, then put down his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Captain Alice, do you... have a heartbeat now?"

Alice was stunned for a moment, then stretched out the index finger and middle finger of her right hand and gently placed it on her left wrist.

No pulse.

The female swordsman raised her head blankly and looked at Xiahou Yan.

Xiahou Yan stretched out his hand again and pressed it against the neck of the female swordsman - also, he could not feel the pulsation of his arteries.

Out of courtesy, he did not test Alice's heartbeat in her chest, but he knew what the result was.

"Ai, Lord Elliot!" Alice asked in panic, "What does this mean?"

Xiahou Yan felt a mess in his mind. He pondered the words and sentences, slowly squatted down, and looked at Alice's blue eyes and said:

"Captain Alice, there is no real resurrection in the world. What I cast on you is the resurrection technique in necromancer. According to theory, it should turn you into a zombie who is unconscious and completely obeying my commands. But as you can see, the effect of the spell now seems to be special... 'OK' - you still retain the memories, thoughts and emotions of your life; but..."

Xiahou Yan licked his lips and made a conclusion difficult to tell:

“…But you don’t seem to be considered a living person now.”

Alice lowered her head and chewed carefully at the Lord's words.

Just when Xiahou Yan thought that this girl who was only twenty-one years old and suddenly lost her body temperature and heartbeat would cry or be hysterical, she raised her head and smiled brightly again:

"Mr. Elliot, do you know what the oath of allegiance to your father when I joined the Eagle Brewer Guards?"

"What is it?" Xiahou Yan asked.

Alice Comstock recalled the scene at that time, and the beautiful figure of Duchess Anna Igor appeared in her mind. She looked directly at her current lord and recited with a smile:

"'Alice Comstock here swears to offer my loyalty to the Igor family... life and death."
