One hundred and sixty-seven, the diary of a shepherd
Town Union February 16, 941
The wind passes through the castle from the south
I am obsessed with magic, and the sweet wine of magic makes me intoxicated and addicted. The family has a lot of savings, enough for me to learn magic. Although my father left early, his identity as a sir still gave me the respect I deserved.
I want to learn magic well. Now all lords are seeking powerful mages, and they are well treated and have a bright future.
Yana, the most beautiful girl in the village, also looked at me differently. I felt that her eyes were unusual for me, and I was not bragging.

This morning, the whole village was filled with an ominous atmosphere. The news came from Gulin City in the north. A mage summoned the army of undead, and he rebelled! The army of undead everywhere was coming from south to north, and it was unstoppable.
What a crazy guy!
Since the long night of fighting between the towns and towns, there has never been such a big mess. And I heard that the undead army has now captured many towns in the north and is about to arrive in Guanshan Town.
This is bad news. If there is the only benefit, it is that Yana will come to accompany me often because she says that my strength will make her feel safe.
Yet, my magic can easily defeat a bunch of skeleton soldiers.
Gods bless you and hope that the army of undead will not come to us.

Early this morning, good news came from the north. Under the alliance of dozens of legendary powerful men, the undead army was completely defeated. The crazy mage Sherman will also be burned to death in Gulin City next week.
The two-year shadow and two-year depression are finally going to dissipate today!
Thanks to the gods, thanks to all the legendary powerful men who defeated that evil mage.
But I always feel that there is something in my eyes, whether it is uneasy or something else when I look at me, but I don’t know what it is.
I didn't see Yana all day.

All the clouds dissipated, but for me, it was the beginning of darkness.
News kept coming, and the court wizards of the various lords were fired because of Sherman's affairs.
I felt a vague premonition in my heart.
Yana hasn't come to me for a long time, and she came here once today, but I saw dodging in her eyes.

Light rain
The news was so broken that it could not be broken any more. All the lords and mages were fired. Many mages were arrested for no reason and burned to death in the town square. Some towns even prepared to propose laws prohibiting mages from entering the city.
I don't understand that Sherman is unforgivable, but there are countless mages who have died in the war against him. Why can't people see it?
Ordinary people fear, hate, and curse the mage. In their eyes, the mage is synonymous with disaster.
I have never seen Yana again, and I have also seen fear and disgust in the eyes of the villagers.
The village chief talked to me, and he hinted at me in a vague way that he wanted me to leave the village.
But where else can I go after leaving the village? I rejected him, but the look I looked at them...
I may have been there for a long time, but I still don’t understand what the mage is wrong. I have used magic to protect them. Can’t they remember it?

I was indeed driven out. They feared my magic, so they spent a lot of money to buy banned potions from the pharmacist, and then mixed them in honey water to let Yana trick me into drinking.
I had no way to use magic at all, and then they rushed in, cursed, and spoke ill. Even the son of the village blacksmith broke my two ribs. He had a crush on Yana, but he didn't dare to put a single fart in front of me.
But at that time, he was as proud as a dog who picked up bones.
The village chief stopped them, and then they tied stones on me and threw them into the river in the darkness of the night.
The cold river water made me understand that what they feared was not the mage, but just fear of all powerful and unknown fools.
Fortunately, I have always regarded myself as one of them, and I should have been enlightened!
Just when I thought everything was too late, my magic power was restored. It must be that the villagers bought the ban potion that they bought in order to save money.
What I am good at is the spell of Frost. Once you can use magic, the water will not kill me!

rainstorm
I decided that I would make everyone pay the price.
Pay the price for their cowardice and ignorance.
Looking at this village I once lived, I didn’t even have the slightest desire to show mercy.
The heavy rain helped me, and I only used to turn the downpour into hard ice, and they would take their lives by the cold and suffocation in their sleep, and the entire village would turn into ice sculptures tomorrow morning.
It is my last kindness to prevent them from dying in torture, just like the village chief who is kind to me.
But the guards will definitely come to cause trouble for me, so I have already decided to go to Hekou Town overnight, which is said to be relatively relaxed to the mages.
I have a plan to make the world pay the price for what the mage does.
I want to resurrect Sherman!
I want to make this world remember the fear of being dominated by mages again, and I want them to pay the price!

After more than sixty years of preparation, it is finally completed!
I pretended to be a stupid and ruthless old man, and successfully deceived everyone's eyes and ears.
It took me sixty years to prepare for the ritual of resurrection, search for lost spells, search for taboo ritual materials, and prepare sacrifices.
Although the situation of the mage has improved in the past sixty years, it is not enough. The lord still dares not hire a mage, and people's prejudice against mages still exists.
And I have to find what I have endured!
The time is about to ripen, and I can start the ceremony when the next moonlight is dimest.
Forty-four sheep's heads, bear's liver, half-hearted tongue, rock eagle's feathers and other piles of materials.
But the sacrifice is still two strong souls short of the offering.
After thinking about it, only the guards are the most suitable. They are the strongest people in various towns and villages, and it is most suitable to use them as sacrifices.
However, how to guide them into the wilderness without disturbing more guards is a difficult problem, but I always think of a solution...
