《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 17: The Undead Forest.
Advertisement
"Hello, Miss Pastor, do you mind if I sit down," Punk said as politely as possible.
"If a lost lamb is willing to feel the glory of the God of Light, then, of course, it will the Lamb's honor to….., but what do I see here? A mage, who is not qualified to be redeemed, I really hope that the glory of the Light can help me purify this filth." The quiet pastor said a bunch of things like these, with a compassionate expression that made Punk very angry.
"These religious lunatics are indeed a pain in the ass." Even though Punk was very angry, but he was not surprised.
Since the destruction of the Netheril civilization, gods and Mages had always been in a state of the cold war with each other.
The arrogant and self-centered gods couldn't tolerate the mages because of their ideology of " pursuing the truth," which would undoubtedly cause a massive loss of their believer's foundation.
The true mages were mostly supporters of materialism. They were extremely disgusted with the brainwashing of gods and their nonsense. Let alone believe in the gods, the extremist mages even dismissive of the goddess of magic "Mystra."
In front of Punk, the female priest was a brainwashed "pious lamb," and she was also amongst the more morbid believers of the God of Light.
Punk could almost feel her dislike for the Mages, just like finding a bug in your food, which really came from the dept of her heart.
Most of God's priests had this kind of attitude towards mages.
It just happened that Punk also despised this kind of idiot who was utterly brainwashed and could not think for themselves. But even though the female priest's words made Punk upset, he did not want to start a fight with this level 3 priest apprentice because of this.

So Punk just gave a low sneer and made a bonfire for himself, a little far from her.
With the help of magic, the bonfire was lit very soon.
While Punk was heating up the dry food by the crackling fire, he was vigilant toward the female priest who was still praying not far from him.
Punk was pretty sure that this female priest was also here to find the undead forest.
Otherwise, it is hard to explain why a priest, who will love nothing but to worship their gods in the church every day, would appear on this uninhabited and barren wasteland. Although there were such things as "coincidence," but according to him, if the church sent someone to the Aigma Wasteland to fulfill their "Cleanse all evil" narrative, that person should be someone like this female pastor, an overly pious priest.
And Punk also suspects that as the only official professional in Konola City,
Mage McNeesey, was definitely surrounded by spies from the Church of Light.
Otherwise, it was pretty hard for the church to get information about something that required official level spells to obtain, such as the "forest of the undead."
Or else the church had to ask the official priest of Bidland City, to make the prediction. Who stays in the middle of the Kingdom of Camos, two provinces away from the Konola city.
Punk didn't bother to care about the internal affairs of Mage McNeesey. He just wanted to find the undead forest as soon as possible and record the coordinates. As for the secret fight between the church and the Mage's union............ that's not something that Punk could intervene at present.
Sitting by the warm bonfire, Punk was thinking something deeply while watching the dry wood burning red hot inside the flames, and then turned into ash and scattered with the wind.
Finally, Punk decided to follow this priest, because

he was starting to get frustrated with his fruitless search,
and as a priest of the church of Light, who uses the Light attribute, she was undoubtedly more sensitive toward the dark power of the Undeads.
Her search for the undead forest was definitely more efficient than Punk's almost aimless pursuits.
Even though a Mage and a priest dislike each other, to the point of feeling disgusted by each other's presence, but without the conflict of interest, they rarely offend each other randomly.
In addition, most of the lawful priests were upright and stupid characters... ………Punk tilted his head and glanced at the Holy Priest,
……… "She is really gonna be a generous Pathfinder"! Punk took a bite of the rough and unpalatable dry food and thought to himself:
"This fool can be used much better than that cunning fox Kane..."
"It's just a little disappointing that after all that, the old mage failed to guard against the church's nose anyway"! Punk was pretty upset about the Mage Union's news leak, because it is utterly irresponsible toward the member who will perform the task.
Although the process of member selection of the Mage Union is loose, and this was only an apprentice-level mission,
the information breach still doesn't conform to the Mage's consistent and rigorous image.
Punk decided to wait until he found a mentor, then leave this useless Mage Union, but that was all for the future, and now he must concentrate on solving the task at hand!
--------------
Although at first Punk wasn't completely sure if following this priest was more efficient than wandering around by himself, but now, after wandering around in the wasteland for five days with this priest, he actually found the undead forest. If he ignores the disdainful gaze of the priestess along the way, it trip was not that bad.
Originally, Punk wanted to find the undead forest, record the coordinates and leave, but now...
In front of Punk was a small forest, with a size of about 2 or 3 square kilometers; in the middle of that area, all small trees and grass were eroded and created a space about the size of two basketball courts.
On this vast wasteland, this forest barely can be called " The forest of the undead."
The female priest has already yelled out loudly: "In the name of the great God of Light, I—the priest's apprentice Irene Marjie, will purify this unholy land"!
Punk found many strange places in the distance. This undead forest has characteristics that almost all undead places have, such as grey land, pervasive death, wandering undead creatures...
But according to Punk's inference, in this undead forest, the skeletons transformed from human corpses should belong to some dead merchants and the members of their caravans, and some which transformed from the local animals.For example, zombie dogs and ghost rabbits, but for some reason, there was almost no undead animal; instead, there was at least one row of half-reinforced skeletons wandering around.
They were undoubtedly pure human before their death, and the tattered grey clothes and armor on them prove that they were once a group of soldiers; some of the undead were still holding weapons that they used when they were alive.
These rusted weapons were still sharp and exuding grey smoke, which was emanating a biting chill.
Punk, who had collected a lot of information in Konola City, instantly recognized them at a glance. These undeads were holding the standard saber of the army of the Kingdom of Camos, and what they were wearing was also the standard issued soldier's armor from there,
Punk also noticed faint traces of the Griffin inscription of the Kingdom of Camos on the right chest plate of some less damaged armor.
Punk's eyes narrowed slightly, because these undeads were most certainly from the army of the Kingdom of Camos!
