Act XVIII: The Authority of Death

The caravan was eventually drafted without surprise.

Now that it has been learned that the necromancer is nearby, almost no one dares to go on the road alone. Even if he was very reluctant to give up the mercenary team to which his caravan belonged, Wales had to choose to let them fight off the necromancer's surprise attack with the female knight captain. It's just that at present, they lack spellcasters, they can only let Su Chen and Kodil, two half buckets of water, resist the necromancer's spell sneak attack, although Su Chen is very unconfident in himself, but Kodir seems to be the opposite-he is too confident in Su Chen.

"You're the best spellcaster I've ever met." Kodir said to Su Chen, "The previous battle has proven your excellent talent, and I believe you will definitely be able to deal with that guy." ”

"He should be the strongest of the necromancers raging in this grassland, I have such a hunch." Su Chen was not so optimistic. If it was possible, he really wanted everyone to go to the Northland Fort to ask for help, but since the female knight chief said that they would not have the opportunity to go to the Northland Fort...... Then there should be no chance, right? To be honest, Su Chen still didn't understand what the reason why these necromancers were so rampant.

Necromancers, even ordinary mages who only study necromancy, are not welcomed on this continent, and many organizations, including the Church of the True God and well-known mage organizations throughout Asia, have collectively rejected the existence of necromancers. And any mage who dares to spread death on the continent will be sanctioned...... So many necromancers, including lichs, live in shady corners – like a bed bug.

But the necromancers who appear here are not like that. They hunt and kill living beings with impunity, but their methods are not like evil mages born in the shadows, they are more like ordinary people who suddenly gain power, only know how to pour out their obsession with power, and thus become a puppet of power.

And just when Su Chen was a little puzzled, he suddenly found that he had another buff on his body, this buff was written [Unknown Gift], and its content was [Necromantic Spell Exemption Determination Difficulty +1].

And when Su Chen subconsciously looked at the young man in the caravan who was constantly casting his gaze at him, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, he thought about it carefully, and then walked towards the young man with a step.

……

The young man was the only survivor that Su Chen and the others rescued from the village.

He was sitting on the roof of the caravan's carriage, staring blankly at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. After he woke up, many of the caravan had spoken to him, but he had never responded, as if he were dumb. Wales said that this teenager may have suffered a big change, so his personality is a little introverted, and it will be fine after a while, so everyone left a little space for this teenager to be alone.

It's just that when the young man was sitting on the carport, his eyes kept looking at Su Chen, and when Su Chen really walked over, the young man's face that seemed a little too white involuntarily showed a look of horror, but he didn't run away, but just watched Su Chen climb onto the roof of the carriage and sit down beside him.

The boy subconsciously moved his ass to the side.

"Hey, don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you." Su Chen said this, and under the young man's scrutinizing gaze, Su Chen continued: "It's different from those other necromancers. ”

The young man looked at Su Chen with a look of panic in his eyes, and then Su Chen continued: "Now I have met at least 3 necromancers, and two of them are rookies in the arcane...... And their lives were ended by my own hands, and after ending their lives I gained some of, well, strange abilities. For example, my necromancy spells are much stronger now than I used to, and of course there are more strange things, such as the fact that I feel someone's eyes watching me, and the fact that I met a strange woman before. She told me that there was only one winner......"

"That village—" Su Chen pointed to a distant place, vaguely the hometown of the young man, the Ukor's stubble that had been destroyed by the necromancer.

"The people of that village are dead, but you are alive. There weren't many zombies in the tavern we entered, but when we carried you out, all the zombies in the entire village were alarmed. So I couldn't help but think that maybe the zombies were trying to kill you, and they almost succeeded, they managed to trap you in that room, but you used a method to temporarily eliminate the zombies' sense of you, so there weren't many zombies in that tavern. They don't feel your presence, so they all leave where they came to find you. But when we recite you, the Necromancy fails, and the zombies find their target again. ”

"And who is going to kill you? I think...... Maybe it's another necromancer. This is a ritual of raising Gu, where people who have obtained the qualification of necromancer kill each other, and in the end, there will only be one survivor, and he will gain immense power......"

"Death Authority."

The young man suddenly spoke, Su Chen turned his head a little stunned, he didn't expect the young man to speak, and at this time, since the young man spoke, he didn't pause and continued: "There are a total of 9 authorities, and 9 people have been handed over. Killing this person directly gives the other person authority, and killing other innocent people, the more you kill, the stronger the power of the authority. A person with authority, even a common person, can gain the power to cast arcane powers. A person who has collected 9 powers can directly become an archmage who can cast the 9-ring arcane, and even if he does not collect 9 powers and kills enough people, he can also cast the high-ring arcane...... Of course, it is not obtained immediately, it will take a little time, so the wielder of the authority of the killing wild will not become an archmage immediately, but they will become stronger and stronger as time goes on. ”

"As far as I know, there are only three people alive with authority." The boy buried his head in his arms, curled his body, and said, "I, you, and the one who is after us—the one who has the most power. ”

"Why are you telling me this?"

Su Chen said curiously, "Since I am also the holder of authority, and you are too, then it is possible for me to kill you." ”

"I ......"

The boy sighed and said, "I'm tired, really. ”

If you don't kill, there is no spell, and Su Chen has killed 2 people now, and he has only received a reward of +1 for the difficulty of exemption. If you want to get a spell...... For example, the undead ignore spell, so what kind of price does it cost?

How many of the corpses that were with the boy in front of him were killed by this boy?
