Chapter Twenty-Three: The Necromancer
The wild elves who were injured first had already lost a lot of physical strength, and their spirits were on the verge of exhaustion after using a variety of psychic techniques continuously, and after seeing the complete failure of the strongest special move, they finally couldn't support it and fainted.

"This brave adventure is not over yet!" Xiao Xing chanted a spell from afar and cast a purification spell on the black-robed necromancer, "Come on, fight gorgeously for the membership card." ”
The white light flashed, and the gloomy necromancer's eyes shot gray light again, he stood up and shook his loose hat, and an ugly face full of pimples and mottled wrinkles was exposed, and then a hoarse voice came with the wind, "You despicable monsters, you dare to destroy the appearance of this mage, and anyone who sees my true face will only have a dead word!" ”
"It's rare, it's just such a bad look," Xiaoxing pouted, "It's not allowed for people to look at it, could it be that your face is shown to others, and you are broken?" ”
"Xiaoxing, can you be more elegant?" Xiao You sighed, "From his face that left traces of vicissitudes and witnessed the ups and downs, I can imagine that he has a bitter and tragic life experience, a psychology of self-abandonment, a childhood shadow that is so heavy that it cannot be dissolved, a sad memory that is so suppressed that it is breathless, and a rebellious complex that regards depravity as sublimation and decay as nobility......"
"Brother, have you figured out where he came from?"
"This necromancer was ruthlessly robbed of his family by a fire when he was a child," Xiao Yu said slowly, "but no one could have imagined that he would be so obsessed with the taste of blazing flames that he would pour some kerosene on himself from time to time to draw a match, saying that he could enjoy the hot pleasure and the thrill of the scorching heat." At present, he is trying to find the person who set the fire, although he claims to want revenge, but anyone with a discerning eye understands that he wants to understand the true meaning of *. ”
"It turned out to be a madman who liked it*, who set fire to his house?"
"Who else is there besides the white bishop Bamb of the Holy See of Souler? Only this god of lamps can turn incineration into an art, and let all creatures set on fire with kerosene fall under his control as if they were addicted to drugs. ”
The high-spirited chief raised his double-sided axe, "Old man, the Sprinkle family just doesn't kill minors, if you want to find death, come over." ”
"Stupid bullhead, do you think that one more rabble of men will be able to win against me?" The necromancer raised his withered right hand, "I'm going to show you what a real army is!" ”
"That's right, use your necromantic summoning technique to command the undead monster to chop this big cow into mashed meat." Xiao Xing nodded in agreement, "Don't be like the stupid elf in front of you, using a bunch of fancy and unrealistic spiritual victory methods. ”
The black robe snapped its fingers, and a rancid smell suddenly filled the air, and at the same time there was a noisy footstep on the ground. Soon, the footsteps reached the outskirts of the village, and a large number of undead creatures gathered forward came into the eyes of the Duchy's subjects: skeletons with only skeletons, rotten and festering corpses, zombies with hardened bodies, and ghosts with devoid bodies......
"Ahh Xiao Xing shouted in surprise, "The best necromancer I've ever seen before, can only summon about a hundred undead creatures from the ground at a time, this guy not only summons hundreds of centaurs, but also the average quality is not bad, and the variety is also very complete, and, what's even more incredible is that this is actually an instantaneous spell, no casting time and spell chanting action at all!" ”
"This undead force was actually ambushed by him in advance on the left, and he rushed over when he received the signal."
"Brother!" Xiaoxing turned around angrily and stomped his foot hard, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Oops...... Xiaoxing, why are you stepping on me? ”
The minotaur sneered, "This little thing is not enough to warm up the family." ”
"Gegegege", the black-robed necromancer let out a piercing shriek, "Idiot, do you think that the experience of fighting living creatures can be used today?" Even if you smash them up and chop them apart, they'll still come back together and keep fighting. You still have so many men, can you protect them, and when they are killed, they will immediately become part of my lovely army of the undead. You can think about it, it's comfortable for a friend who has just been fighting intimately by your side to wave a weapon of hatred at you the next moment, right? ”
"Shaman!" The Minotaur simply didn't bother to pay attention to him, leaned over and patted Oripas, who was already covered in cold sweat.
"So, that, Captain, what's the matter?" For the first time in his life, the half-elf, who had always been afraid of ghosts, had seen so many ghosts alive, and all the ghost stories he had memorized were aroused, and countless miserable and terrible death scenes were churning in his mind, so that his face was as gray as a marquee.
"What else are you asking?" Seeing his demented appearance, the minotaur picked him up and yelled in his ear, "Stupid, of course you are presiding over the sacrifice and surpassing the soul." ”
"Captain, there are a lot of expenses to do things, have you negotiated the price with the family of the deceased?" As soon as there was a question of economic interest, the shaman immediately regained his senses.
"Where is the family of the deceased here, you idiot who doesn't even want your life for money, hurry up and get down to business!"
The half-elf with a grumbling stomach had no choice but to reluctantly start the funeral ceremony, and hundreds of undead creatures became hundreds of clearly priced goods lists in his eyes at this time, "It's all business, it's all business, and it's all given away." ”
"It's over," Xiao Yu turned and left the ledge, "This is the end of the journey of this group of adventurers. ”
"Brother, can it be that reciting a few verses can make so many necromantic creatures disappear?"
"This place has good feng shui." Xiao Yu sighed meaningfully, "So they can die early and be reincarnated early." ”
"Brother, I see it differently." Xiao Xing looked at it carefully for a while, "Those dead things don't seem to have dissipated, but they haven't continued to attack. Hey, they seem to have switched sides. ”
Xiao Yu walked over again, "Generally speaking, the result of a certain sect's transcendent souls should be to take these spirits to the heaven where they believe in gods. ”
"Yes, I know, why don't the undead here go to heaven after being overtaken?"
"The gods of the seventh planet have never occupied a dominant position on this planet, so they have never been able to establish a reincarnation system," Xiao Yu thought with a frown, "The souls of their people can only be collected by some methods temporarily, and this totem can obviously store souls." ”
"What's the use of this pillar to collect souls?"
"For this totem, the soul is the power of its operation, which can activate its various divine effects," Xiao Yu paused, "The soul power contained in it can even be used to resurrect people who have died recently and whose corpses are intact. ”
"So, why doesn't it want the souls of these undead creatures, is it dirty?"
"Almost, the totem is also compatible with the absorption of souls." Xiao You patted his head vigorously, "I understand, after the transcendence just now, the control of these undead creatures has been transferred to the hands of the totem, but the artifact is unwilling to absorb their souls, so the command is given to the chief, shaman and other agents. ”
"Oh, hehe," the shaman excitedly ordered the newly recruited skeleton zombies to surround the black-robed mage, although the mage kept unleashing all kinds of advanced necromantic magic, but this kind of spell almost always had a significant effect on the living, and the damage was limited if it hit his own family and horses. Not long after, a rotting corpse knocked down the mage from behind with a bone club, and the rest of the skeletons immediately kicked the "sandbag" wrapped in black cloth for a long time.
"Enough, enough," the half-elf stood from his dead men, and called out to a few tall camel men to tie up the three righteous warriors, and officially declare the right to seize the prisoners of war.
The corners of the prince's mouth, whose intelligence had been reduced by half, were still salivaing, and the wild elves who had both physical strength and energy were also unconscious, and only the black-robed mage understood the situation.
"How much money do you have in your treasury?" Oripas leaned over and asked the necromancer.
Rolling his eyes, the black robe replied angrily, "No, I still owe a huge debt." ”
"How can it be that this is not the same as this principality...... Hey, do you think I'm going to be fooled if you say that? ”
"As a court with a chaotic lifestyle, all the usual daily expenses are white, how many can you find a king who will not owe debts these years?"
"Oh, that's right." The Governor nodded, beckoning people to come over, "These captives are useless, I will strip them of their clothes, search their things, cut off their limbs and pickle them first." The two small fine-skinned tender meat can be sold as yellow beef; This old guy is tough and thin, so he has to sell it as buffalo meat......"
"You dare to insult the noble and sacred bull-headed clan!" The minotaur was furious, "I said that the two little ones were sold as half-elf meat, and the old one as half-human meat!" ”
"Isn't half-elf and half-human the same thing? And they are originally elves and humans, and they are not half-bloods. ”
"Then elven meat is sold as elven meat, and human meat is sold as human meat." The Duke added, "Also, I, the Duchy of Clark, do not allow fraudulent transactions such as selling elven meat on human heads. ”
"Captain, you really don't have common sense, elf meat is more expensive than human flesh, how can we do something that loses money."
"Are you here the Duchy of Clark?" The black-robed mage suddenly asked.
"That's right, this bull head is the wise and powerful Duke Clark, who is so tall and mighty that it is incorrigible."
"Why do they call you Chief again?"
"Can you manage the pluralistic system of the country's real government, which is both a principality and a tribe?"
The necromancer shook his head, "Your Excellency, I am willing to pay the ransom in exchange for the personal freedom of the three of us."
"Didn't you say your treasury was empty?" The half-elf looked skeptical, "What do you use to redeem yourself?" ”
"I have something around me that I can pay for."
"Hahaha-" Auripas laughed loudly, "now that you are a captive, and everything belongs to us, why do you exchange your freedom for property that is no longer yours?" ”
"Do you have what it takes to open a mage's storage bag?" The black robe sneered, "What you can't use is also waste in your hands." Why don't we each take a step back, you make an offer, and after I pay the ransom, you let us leave as we are. ”
"Oh, you're so confident." The Governor held out a finger slightly, "Bring ten thousand gold coins." ”
"No problem." The mage agreed.
"Wait, what I just said doesn't count, it's fifteen thousand......"
"Yiyi!" The Duke interrupted him harshly, "Our principality has to be trustworthy in dealing with foreign countries, how can you be as impermanent as you." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Duke." The black robe staggered and stood up, and took out a bill, "This is 10,000 gold coins, please check." ”
"This piece of torn paper is worth 10,000 gold coins?" The half-elf snatched it away, "...... It's a state bond, what's the use of this thing, who knows how long this country will survive? Wait, why do I look familiar? ”
"This is a bond issued by your Duchy Clark itself, you won't deny it, right? And I won't collect the interest on this 10,000 gold coins from you, so I will pay it off. ”
The minotaur took the bond from Olipas' hand and tore it apart a few times, "Alright, you guys go." ”
"Captain, didn't you let them go for nothing?" The Governor exclaimed excitedly, "I was not prepared to pay those debts in the first place. ”
"Get out of the way, less!"
"Your Excellency, there is one more thing, our mount ......"
"They are now legal citizens of the principality, and they are also excellent subjects of the tribe, and they have settled here and taken root, and they will not go back with you."
"But Your Excellency Duke, we just said okay, I paid the ransom, and you let us leave 'as it is'......"
"It's like the Sprinkler robbed you," the minotaur glared, "Get out of here, don't talk nonsense!" ”
