Volume 8 The Rise of the Undead! Chapter 10: A Boy of Unknown Origin
Although the light in the room is sufficient, it can't wash away the oppressive feeling caused by the blockage. [Full text reading.]
The occlusion is just to isolate unnecessary trouble, and the cramped is because in addition to the two living people here, there are also nine other undead who are stiff and active like marionettes, their joints are like rusty iron clips, and their steps are as mechanical as metal puppets, but this kind of movement is much faster than the normal movement that feels like it, as it should be.
"Don't think about how to elicit fighting energy from your body, you are undead, not human, the source of power in your body is in the hedron of your brain, you must learn to use it flexibly. "Athena is very serious about teaching these spirits how to use their bodies properly and exert their powers. After Luo Lan made a promise, she seemed to have unreservedly trusted the latter, which made the former's heart full of conspiracy and deceit seem to add a little guilt.
However, it was only for a moment, and he quickly put this boredom behind him, and his eyes radiated untender indifference.
Luo Lan looked at Athena, looking at her serious and persistent attitude, just like a tutor teaching his students, Xiu Mei would often frown for a dissatisfied action, the corners of her mouth would also be dissatisfied, bending an elegant and attractive arc, she would often go to her ear to stroke the delicate earrings in her ear, the movement was gentle and solemn, as if it was something that needed to be protected at all times.
Such a woman. How did you become a terrifying necromancer for the world?
Athena seemed to be aware of it, she turned her face slightly, and as soon as she touched Luo Lan's gaze, she immediately turned her head back as if she was evading, and said softly, "What are you looking at?"
"Just thinking about a question that concerns you. Luo Lan smiled slightly. This sentence seems to be a bit ambiguous.
"Yes...... What?" Athena's voice lowered, and she seemed slightly flustered.
Luo Lan straightened his stiff waist that had been sitting for too long, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm curious, how did Sempk's fighting spirit be triggered by you?" This is a key question, if it is necessary for the necromancer to trigger the power in Sempk's body, then the value of the undead will be greatly reduced to him.
Obviously didn't expect Luo Lan to ask this sentence, Athena let out a light "ah". She lowered her head, and after a moment she raised it and explained, "It's not Dou Qi, it's not an element, it's the undead Earth Origin Power. Without waiting for Luo Lan to ask, she continued: "When I use necromancy to summon skeletons or zombies, because they don't have any autonomous consciousness, they will listen to my call, and they ......" Athena pointed at Simpuk and the others, and said, "Because you have a mind, and you are still their master." So it's natural to resist my summoning, but I don't have experience in how to resist them, so I can only rely on instinctive reactions. These reactions are precisely made by the undead crystals, and the fluctuations that your Excellency sees similar to the dark elemental are their earthly origin power......"
"Wait," Luo Lan stood up and interrupted her, "In this way, when they encounter the Great Necromancer, won't they have the strength to resist at all?"
"Not really. That's because they haven't learned to control themselves yet. Athena shook her head and said, "Let's take an analogy." If you're asleep, then someone else can manipulate your limbs at will, it's because you're defenseless and unconscious, but if you wake up, if you want to control you, it's a simple wrestling, and a necromancer can do that if he narrows down a wide range of summoning to a single target, but that's true for any creature with less mental power than him. And for the undead who can master their self-awareness. It's not much easier to control them than it is to control a human warrior with strong mental powers. ”
Athena smiled at Luo Lan, who was thinking about it, and said, "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about this. You can see that your undead subordinates have signed a soul contract with you. They do not disobey your orders, this is even beyond the spirit. So you can rest assured. ”
Luo Lan smiled deeply and said, "It seems that after training, we still need a few battles to determine the power of the undead." ”
Athena looked at Sempke, her gaze softened, "It's too early, they're like babies who have to learn more to get familiar with their bodies." ”
Luo Lan had a strange feeling, this undead female mage seemed to love death more than life, he couldn't help but ask, "Athena mage, I want to know, why did you choose the profession of necromancer?"
"Strange, isn't it?" Athena's beautiful eyes showed a gloomy look, like a twinkling meteor falling from the dark stars, and she smiled sadly, "For some unspeakable secret." "She
What did he do, he turned his gaze to Luo Lan's body, and asked curiously: "Why did Ge choose to be a priest?"
Luo Lan coughed and said, "I'm actually very afraid of death, I almost died in a duel, and when I become a priest, I can at least save myself at a critical moment." ”
Hearing this untruthful remark, Athena couldn't help but smile slightly, and the perfect face revealed a distant and mysterious beauty in an instant, which made Luo Lan lose his mind for a moment.
Luo Lan sighed slightly, he felt that he had said enough today, and some of them were meaningless, which was an incredible phenomenon for him. So he made a noble salute and said, "It's time for me to show my face in the castle, too long a time here will arouse the suspicion of some people, and Master Athena can leave at will through the secret passage." ”
He had barely reached the door of the dark room when he heard Athena whispering behind him, "Is that the beautiful goddess?"
Luo Lan turned his head and smiled slightly, he didn't explain, opened the door and walked straight out, but when he was covering the door, he vaguely heard a faint sigh.
In another corner of the castle, a maid exclaimed in surprise, "What a beautiful boy!"
A big boy of about fifteen or sixteen years of age was in front of the side door of the castle, with bright blonde hair on his head, two eyes with a feminine softness, and a mischievous and flattering smile at the corners of his mouth, exuding the vitality of the rising sun, and those who saw him believed that if it were seven or eight years from now, there would be another young man in the world who was brave and captivating to young girls. It's just that his condition doesn't seem to be very good at the moment, and his hand is simply bandaged with burlap, and the red blood stains are leaking out, and it is still spreading.
The maid immediately grabbed the young man's back as if distressed, helped him to Xue Lin, and whispered, "Miss Xue Lin, he seems to be very injured." ”
With the end of a holy light technique, and sending away another civilian who came to seek treatment, Xue Lin, who was slightly tired, rubbed the corners of her forehead, slowly turned her beautiful face, and slowly stretched out her hand, and the maid immediately took her hand and guided it to the young man's arm.
The boy seemed to flinch in pain, and the maid immediately patted him lightly on the back as a sign of comfort, and then allowed Sherin to untie the bloody linen.
A deep blood groove was exposed to the air, and the place where the flesh rolled was as terrifying as an open mouth, and the tender tissues and blood vessels inside could already be seen. The maid immediately opened her mouth wide, and then turned her face away, as if she could not bear to look at it again.
Just by touching it, Xue Lin knew the severity of the injury, this incision was precisely in the position of the tendon, if it deviated a little more, then this hand would be completely crippled. However, if such an injury is encountered, it is generally the same as the result of the above if it is not treated by a clergyman. Delicate, she discovered a detail, whether it was untying the sackcloth or touching the wound, the young man actually did not say a word.
She knew how much pain such an injury would cause, and she had heard too many patients wailing in front of her, and she couldn't help but secretly appreciate that this was a strong teenager.
She put her hand on top of the wound, silently reciting the holy prayer in her mouth, and as the white light floated out, the terrible wound was closed and restored little by little.
The young man moved his mouth and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Xue Lin said softly, "How so?"
The young man's immature face flushed slightly, and he seemed to be embarrassed and said, "I was accidentally cut by a sickle when I was harvesting rye." With that, he suddenly coughed violently
Xue Lin frowned, she immediately used a spiritual exploration technique, and said in surprise: "Your chest seems to be blocked by some energy, what's going on?"
The young man was stunned, he recalled it, showed a frightened look, and said, "Maybe, it could be the demon worm, right?"
"What?" Xue Lin was taken aback and said hurriedly, "What color?"
"Probably, it's black......" the boy said.
Xue Lian showed a solemn look, took his hand and said, "This kind of injury must be treated for several days in a row, you can't go back." ”
"No, no," the young man shook off Xue Lin's hand, and then ran towards the door, but before he could take a few steps, the sky spun around, and he suddenly fell to the ground unconscious.
There was an exclamation around him, and the boy heard Xue Lin shouting anxiously, "Quick, help him to my room, he may have been poisoned by the demon beetle." Suddenly, he felt a lot of people coming to help him.
It's just that no one paid attention, and under those closed eyes, a faint sly smile was slightly emerging from the corners of the young man's mouth.
