Chapter 2 My Nephew Rescued Me
"What happened?!"
With a bang, the door of the house was knocked open.
A bearded man with a sturdy back and a sinister look rushed in. He was holding a long-handled hammer for blacksmithing.
"Skeleton monster!"
After seeing Roja, the bearded man clenched the hammer in his hand, with a trace of obvious disgust and evil in his eyes.
not good! Luo Ya felt bad.
At this moment, several new lines of illusory text appeared in front of him again.
[A young necromancer accidentally resurrected the corpses of his relatives into monsters. The boy's screams attracted the bearded blacksmith Black next door. He was tall and mighty, holding a hammer, greedy and cruel! ]

Ah... is there still a choice?
Roja looked at the bearded man's thick arms and waist, and then looked at his thin arms and legs.
Nephew, save me!
...
"Why did the skeleton monster come here?" Blacksmith Black's eyes were full of disgust and contempt.
That tone was as ordinary as saying why there was a dead mouse here.
In this magical world, various fantasy creatures and monsters are not uncommon.
Low-level monsters transformed from corpses like skeleton monsters, although they look ferocious and terrifying, are even weaker than little goblins, so strong blacksmiths will not be afraid.
Moreover, not far to the east of the town, there is an undead mountain range, in which many undead monsters roam, and the residents of Border Town are very used to it.
"Let me kill this monster."
The blacksmith rolled up his sleeves and took a big step forward. He grabbed Roja's arm with his big hand covered with calluses and raised the hammer high with the other hand.
I protest! Monsters are alive too! Are you a human being who kills people whenever he says?
Roja wanted to resist immediately, but found that he couldn't break free from the man's strong hand.
Seeing that he was about to die under the hammer, he hurriedly stretched out a bone hand to the boy beside him to ask for help.
"Don't touch him! That's Uncle Jules!" Philippe screamed.
The man looked surprised when he heard this and temporarily put down the hammer in his hand.
"You said he was Yule? It turned out that it was his corpse. I thought you had buried him long ago." The
blacksmith did not doubt that the emergence of the skeleton monster was related to the boy. After all, this place is "rich" with such monsters. As long as there is a corpse, there is a chance that it will mutate.
Philip said: "Uncle Brian, please don't kill him. It's just a very weak skeleton monster. Let me release him to the Mountains of the Dead." This is a
monster transformed from the remains and souls of his uncle. The boy is really Can't bear to kill it.
"You want to let him go?" The bearded blacksmith rolled his eyes and held Roja in his hand, "This can't be done! Once I see this monster, it is already my prey. I want to take it into my head." I'll exchange my soul fragments for a glass of beer."
As he spoke, he raised the hammer in his hand again, pretending to hit Roja.
"Wait!"
Philip was so frightened that he hurriedly took out five copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the blacksmith's hand. "Uncle Brian, I'll give you the money, please give it to me."
This was the young man's meager savings, and he took it all out without hesitation.
"For soul fragments, five copper coins are completely enough..." the blacksmith said while taking the copper coins.
However, after stuffing the copper coins into his trouser pocket, a sly smile immediately appeared on his face: "But Philip, I'm going to use its bones to feed the dogs, how much do you plan to pay?" He looked proud
. He grabbed Roja's arm tightly, as if he had caught the boy's weak spot,
"Every bone in Yule's body is worth 5 copper coins. Count you 1,000 copper coins, Philip! Bring the money!"
Philip ! Hearing what he said, his eyes widened in disbelief, "You are robbing! I don't have that much money at all!" The
blacksmith didn't wait for him to refuse, and said directly: "Then remember, you still owe me 995 coins. I will come to you for copper coins at any time in the future!"
He let go of Roja and suddenly pushed him towards the young man, "I will give you a disgusting skeleton!"
Before leaving, he threatened the young man with fierce eyes. : "I am now a reserve member of the Eagle Group. If you dare not pay me, you will end up like your uncle!" The Eagle
Group is the mercenary organization to which the person who robbed and killed Yule belonged.
This mercenary group is powerful, with hundreds of members, all of whom are experienced warriors.
There are not only ordinary humans, but also dwarves and orcs, Amazon female warriors, elf archers, little human mages and other elite members of different races.
Even the lords who manage Border Town dare not anger the Eagle Group. This group of mercenaries are like legal bandits here, and no one dares to speak out.
Blacksmith Black has recently become their reserve member, so he acts very arrogantly.
The blacksmith thought for a while and then said: "Every month from now on, you have to pay me back twenty copper coins. If you can't get it, you have to sell your butt to me to make money. Do you understand?" Seeing the boy's
expression After nodding his head in fear, the blacksmith left here with satisfaction.
He had already planned to force the young man to work as a male prostitute in the Eagle Group in a few days.
This kind of little boy with delicate features and delicate features like a rabbit will definitely drive the beast-like men and women of the mercenary group crazy.
And with the support of the Eagle Group behind him, he was not afraid that Phillip would dare to resist.
After the blacksmith left, Philip stood there blankly, feeling that his future was dark.
After an unknown amount of time, he looked at the skeleton standing in front of him with sad eyes, "It turns out that what was written in that notebook was undead magic..." The young man also understood at this time that
his uncle would probably never come back. .
"Uncle Yule, I will take you out of here to a safe place."
Philip wiped away his tears and took out a set of tops, pants and boots made of the best material from the house for Roja to put on, and put them on for him. A cowboy hat style felt hat.
Roja remained motionless and at his mercy, appearing unconscious.
The Skeleton Monster was originally weak in aggression, and even looked like a dementia when it was first born, so his behavior was normal in the eyes of Philip and the blacksmith.
Afterwards, the boy held his hand and left the town while no one was there on the rainy day.
