Chapter 164: Vol 3 Recap (As Narrated By a Future Historian)

An excerpt from the biography of Hugo Greenwood.
Chapter 17
The Necromancer
For all the praises the Mother of Medicine had garnered over her lifetime, little did the masses know that she used to be a despicable necromancer back in her youth. It was only thanks to Hugo Greenwood’s influence that she turned her back from the dark path, devoting herself to the creation of alchemical medicine instead. And using the otherworldly knowledge she received from her dear husband, it led to the health revolution we are currently enjoying in this bountiful age. Life expectancy had doubled over the last hundred years and all the diseases and illnesses thought to be incurable became something a healer at your nearest alchemical shop could cure, for not only she revolutionized the science of medicine, but the techniques of alchemy as well. With automated factories mass-producing potions of all kinds day and night, some countries could even afford to give them away for free.

And yet, such blindingly divine accomplishment came from a dark, cruel place, for as a child, Felicia Myne lost her entire family at an early age to an illness*, and she was forced to fend for herself**. With no ally on her side, she gravitated to dark magic, and eventually, necromancy, as she suffered from trauma from the deaths of her family and village, resulting in her desiring a world where everyone could live forever. It led to her exile from the Magocracy, her settling on Fiania to do her research, and then being hunted down by the Church’s Inquisitors, as I have written in previous chapters. Suffice to say, without the presence of Hugo Greenwood, we would have lost a brilliant mage and alchemist that day, and we all need to thank his kindness and unprejudiced mind for that, who was willing to risk his life and reputation to save her, even knowing that she was a necromancer who had puppeted a living corpse as the king of Fiania all this time.
Some said that all of Hugo’s wives were outcasts in one way or another and they all fell in love with him because of his accepting nature, unlike the society that had scorned them. I believe Felicia exemplified this trait the best amongst all of them.

**details regarding the trials and tribulations she has suffered will be included in our biography regarding her, coming out at the next new moon
