Chapter 2: Volod the Necromancer
"Hey, stop. I'm not a monster. ”
Worod was hit the head, and he was so frightened that he ran away. It's just that his small body, which is not much different from a skeleton, is really not the material for running. After only a few steps, his already bloodless face became whiter and paler, no different from a dead man.
Lan Wu leaned on a wooden stick, curiously and vigilantly staring at the stranger who sold worse than a corpse. It was the first indigenous he encountered when he came into this world.
The strange man, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wore a gray cloth robe. It's just that the thin little body is wearing this cloth robe that is very suitable for ordinary people, just like wearing a long dress, which is very loose. However, what caught Lan Wu's attention even more was that he was holding a short gray bone in his hand, with a few gray feathers tied to the top.
"You're a mage?" Lan Wu shifted his gaze from the gray bone in Volod's hand to his face, meeting his eyes.
"It's a necromancer." Volod solemnly corrected Lan Wu.
Lan Wu was clear. Necromancers are one of the seven professions in the Darkness. He looked Volod up and down, hesitantly asked, "Necromancers all have to look like dead people?" ”
"You're insulting me!" Volod was agitated, and his bloodless face was a little more flushed. Although the eye sockets are still deep and sunken, and there is not a few more flesh on the body, it looks obviously a little more energetic, like a person.
"I'm sorry." Lan Wu apologized for his kindness. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected is one of his greatest strengths.
After receiving Lan Wu's apology, Worod nodded reservedly: "I accept your apology." Are you a survivor of the village of Thor? ”
Lan Wu shook his head.
Somewhat surprised, Volod asked again: "Are you a professional?" ”
Lan Wu thought about it and decided to remain silent.
Seeing that Lan Wu did not shake his head, nor did he affirm, Volod hesitated. After a long struggle, he took out a scroll from a cloth bag around his waist. Lan Wu's gaze shifted to the gray cloth bag that was only the size of a fist.
"This should be the personal backpack that professionals in this world have." Lan Wu guessed.
"It's the Identification Scroll." Worod shook the scroll and said with obvious confidence: "The village of Thor has just been attacked by a group of Sinking Demons. The Honorable Lord Akara asks all the professionals to go out and save the wretched. So, since you seem to have lost the relevant memories. Then I'll only be able to identify it for you with the Identification Scroll. If you are also a professional, you should follow Lord Akara's orders and join me in the search for the whereabouts of those poor civilians. ”
Lan Wu was as good as a stream, and nodded happily.
With Lan Wu's permission, Volod was visibly relieved. He asked Lan Wu to turn around, unfolding the identification scroll and pressing it against his back. After a little more than a minute, he took the scroll and looked down at it carefully.
Name: Lan Wu
Level: 1
Property points: 0
Health: 45Attack Damage: 0
Mana: 25 Attack Rate: 80
Stamina: 79 Defense: 6
Strength: 15 Fire Resistance: 0
Dexterity: 25 Cold Resistance: 0
Stamina: 15 Lightning Resistance: 0
Energy: 25 Toxin Resistance: 0
Experience: 15/500
Lan Wu saw the densely packed data on the identification scroll, and his heart suddenly changed. Soon he moved his gaze to the bottom row. More important than these attributes is, of course, what skills you have. Skills are the guarantee of rampaging in the dark world.
Unfortunately, apart from the experience stat, there is no other stat on the scroll.
After reading the identification scroll, Volod's spirit was obviously much better. He hugged Lan Wu very warmly, and said with a pleased smile: "It turns out that you are also a necromancer. It seems that God arranged for us to meet. Let's team up and slay the abominable demonic creatures together. ”
Lan Wu was noncommittal. Not to mention the fifteen bug talismans on his body, it is impossible to make them public. This team is a big deal that can't be overlooked. His ideal is naturally the most stable iron triangle - the law of war. If you are a necromancer, then the rest of your teammates are naturally better paladins, barbarians. Volod is also a necromancer, so overlapping with his own position is obviously not an ideal teammate.
Seeing that Lan Wu didn't say anything, Volod hurriedly took out another identification scroll from the space bag and urged, "I am your ideal teammate. Help me identify and let you see my attributes. ”
Lan Wu was as good as a stream, unfolding the identification scroll and sticking it to Volod's back. Soon he felt a faint ripple surging on the scroll. The fluctuation was familiar to him. If you think about it carefully, isn't it the kind of fluctuation that emerged in your body when you absorbed those black qi just now?
Taking down the scroll, Lan Wu looked down and took a closer look. Volod is a third-level necromancer. Those basic attributes weren't his goal, just a glance. His focus is on the skill descriptions at the bottom of the scroll.
Skeleton Resurrection: Level 2, resurrect a skeleton from a fresh corpse to fight for you. Number of summons: 2
Dominate Skeletons: Level 1, increases the quality of summoned skeletons, skeleton mages, and reborn creatures.
"I'm a brilliant necromancer." Volod was visibly nervous, and his tone was obviously a little lacking.
"Why did you choose me as your teammate?" Lan Wu did not give a direct reply.
"Because ......," replied to Volod's pale face, which was a little more flushed, and he replied in frustration, "because they all call me the unlucky Volod." The professionals who teamed up with me, every one of them had good luck. The luckiest one was a fall and a broken finger. ”
"The unluckiest one?" Lan Wu gets to the bottom of it.
"We were encircling a tribe of Sinking Demons, and he was blocked by my skeleton and thrown into the Cauldron of Sinking Demons." Worod bowed his head in frustration: "Although we rescued him, I was kicked out of the team by them. ”
"Understandable." Lan Wu nodded. Whoever encounters such a pig teammate will be decisively rejected.
"That'...... Never mind. Follow me and you'll be out of luck. "Volod himself didn't expect much. After all, his reputation in Rog's camp is terrible.
"Not necessarily." Lan Wu turned around and went back to the tree, picked up the muddy T-shirt, and walked back: "Let's go." I need to level up as soon as possible to learn the first skill. ”
Volod was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic, and hurriedly asked: "You really agreed to team up with me?" ”
"Hmm." Lan Wu nodded: "At present, I have no other choice but you. Of course, you can also choose. I don't even have a weapon at the moment. In other words, you're the only one to strike when you encounter monsters, until I level up and learn the first skill. ”
"No problem." Volod nodded repeatedly, for fear that Lan Wu would reject him.
Thus, a team was formed. Lan Wu took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and introduced himself: "Lan Wu, twenty-five years old. Not...... He's a necromancer. ”
"Volod, seventeen years old, is also a necromancer." Volod introduced himself reservedly and proudly.
Having gained his teammates, Volod looked very happy. Along the way, he chattered non-stop. Although it was a little noisy, through his verbosity, Lan Wu had a general understanding of the current situation in this world.
"Humanity has fallen to this point?" Lan Wu learns that Camp Rog is one of the five last human strongholds, as described in the game. With a population of only about 5,000, it is also the weakest stronghold.
"It's far worse than you think." Volod took a few quick steps to meet a rotting corpse slowly moving in front of him. The bone staff in his hand was short, but it hurt well.
Lan Wu witnessed Volod, a skeleton of bones that could be blown down by a gust of wind, and fought with this rotting corpse extremely fiercely. Only four blows in a row, the rotting corpse screamed and fell to the ground with a bang.
Volod stood in front of the carrion, raising his staff and muttering to himself. Soon the carrion swelled. With a snap, a gray-white skeleton crawled up from the ground with a bone knife.
"It's the same as in the game." Lan Wu was clear. At this moment, a wisp of black air wafted in. With that previous experience, he calmly accepted what Volod called the experience of demonic energy.
Worod beckoned Lan Wu to come over. He pointed to the pool of rotten flesh on the ground that was turning into demonic qi and sighed, "The undead creatures in front of us used to be just like us. It's just that they were infected by demonic energy after they died, and they became such filthy undead creatures. As long as there are corpses, they will continue to emerge, attacking our newly opened camps and slaughtering our civilians. ”
"They're just poor creatures. The most abominable are the filthy demons of destruction, and the abominable demonic creatures. They're just creatures of demonic energy. They will regenerate in a steady stream before defeating the body. Therefore, those of us who are professionals will be given a mission after receiving the gift of the gods and obtaining the inheritance of the profession. ”
"Destroy those demonic bodies and give humanity a new lease of life."
When he said these words, Volod's expression was solemn, not at all as lifeless as before. He looked up at the east and said solemnly, "When I became a proud necromancer, I set a goal for myself. Before the age of twenty, you must defeat Andariel and obtain the qualification to go to Lugoin. My parents were waiting for me in Lugoin. I will always remember the encouragement they gave me before leaving. ”
"The premise is that you have to go up to at least level 20 first." Lan Wu did not affirm Volod's ideals, nor did he deny it: "You are taking the pure summoning route, and the resurrection of low-level skeletons will not bring you strong combat power." Without a skeleton that is strong enough, it will be difficult for you to take down Andariel. After all, you can't find the right teammates. ”
"Well, if I don't have enough strength, I won't rashly challenge Andariel." Worod looked resolute, and was clearly aware of his current situation.
"Huh? Don't have a bang? Lan Wu looked at the last bit of black qi submerged into his and Worod's bodies respectively, and was a little surprised.
"Some undead or demonic creatures contain less demonic energy in themselves. This is normal. Worod quickly walked forward with the skeleton he had just summoned.
Lan Wu felt that Volod was a bit like he was running away. He thought about it for a moment and didn't say much. After all, the most important thing at the moment is to level up as soon as possible and learn the first skill.
