Chapter 1: Skull Bones Trainee Mage
After walking a short distance, it was indeed a hole.
Ecstatic, Xiao Shumad and Sephiroth quickly walked out of the cave and found that there were barren mountains on both sides, and it seemed that this place should be located in the middle of the mountains and rivers.
"No, Safi, do you notice anything strange about the dark clouds in the sky?" Xiao Shufang said suddenly.
"Young master, I haven't been to the ground, so I don't know." As a wandering thief, Sephiroth has been to many underground cities, but he has never been to the overworld.
"You see the clouds aren't the usual jet-black color, they're a little greenish." Xiao Shumad said with a solemn face: "The mountains here don't seem to have any life at all, and you can't hear the cries of birds and beasts at all. And you see the trees are all bare, it's not winter, how can the trees all wither? ”
After carefully probing the surroundings, Xiao Shufang felt more and more that this place was very strange, compared to the mountain of Ivor that Xiao Shufang had encountered before, this place could be regarded as a ...... Well, lifeless.
"That's right! Dead air. Xiao Shu said thoughtfully.
At the same time, he summoned chicken wings, condensed a bone arrow and shot at a withered tree on the side of the road.
"Necromancy has doubled its power and consumed one-third less mana." Xiao Shufang silently felt it, and said with a solemn face.
"Young master, that tree is very hard, and your magic has only made a small hole." Sephiroth replied.
"I see, this must be the territory of Vidnina's forces, the territory of the undead." Xiao Shu said confidently.
"This is the direction that Vidnina took us in the beginning, and then we chose this direction by mistake, and although we didn't take the main road, we also found the entrance to this place." Xiao Shu thought wildly.
"Kera, Kerra." There was a strange noise.
"Who?" Sephiroth said nervously.
"It's a skeleton." Xiao Shu said wildly.
Then a broken skeleton appeared in front of the two, and as soon as they saw the two, the skeleton rushed over with a rusty iron sword in his hand.
"An abandoned skeleton soldier." Xiao Shumad looked at this skeleton, the whole body was broken, and he walked crookedly, he could see that this skeleton definitely had no owner.
With a slight cast of undead magic, the skeleton knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if it had met its master.
"Huh? This skeleton was actually born with a trace of wisdom. Xiao Shufang suddenly felt quite interested.
"Anyway, I don't care so much, so I'll take you." Xiao Shumad used the undead contract to establish a spiritual connection with this skeleton, and in the future, this skeleton must obey Xiao Shumad's orders and obey Xiao Shumad's orders, which is also the domineering of the necromancer.
However, it is usually targeted at skeleton soldiers who are not as intelligent as puppets, but this skeleton soldier is intelligent.
Through spiritual contact, Xiao Shufang obtained all the memories of this skeleton soldier, and it turned out that this guy was summoned by a necromancer apprentice, but this necromancer apprentice died here.
The skeleton soldier survived, but his body was also torn apart by the wind and rain day after day.
As for why this skeleton soldier was born with wisdom, it was this skeleton soldier who was lucky enough to fall into a cave stained with dead air, and slowly gained wisdom.
According to the skeleton soldier's memory, it should have been a small battlefield left over from ancient times, and the rusty iron sword was picked up there.
As for more information, they can't get it, the skeleton soldiers are only the lowest level of death servants, and they can't recall much after just awakening their memories.
I used necromancy to patch up the skeleton soldier, and the skeleton soldier knelt on the ground to thank him, which was quite interesting.
"So, let's give you a name, let's call it a bone." Xiao Shufang took a name at random, but it made the skeleton soldier bones thank him.
"Hehe, I think you really fall in love with me." The more Xiao Shufang looked at it, the more he felt that this skeleton soldier was interesting, and he also had a little hunch that the skeleton soldier he collected would definitely be more powerful in the future, after all, he was a traverser, and the child of fate was not.
"When I have the opportunity, I will instill it in you with the power of death, and I will find you a good skeleton to help you refine it." Xiao Shufang's words, the bones were grateful again.
Anyway, he has the bone bag given by Vidnina in his hand, and although the skeleton soldier is the lowest-level death servant, it is the easiest to promote.
As long as there is pure death qi instilled, the soul fire is expanded.
As well as refining the bones of the whole body to improve the strength of the bones, you can upgrade.
Of course, this method is okay at the lower level, but it will cost a lot later.
Because it costs twice as much to not upgrade as the previous tier, and the price of upgrading the first tier is much more expensive than recruiting other classes of the same tier, so few people do this.
It's a bit like spending money on refinement in a game, spending a lot of money and failing is the end of nothing.
But Xiao Shufang didn't care, after all, this bone bag was white, and the small bones fit his eyes well, in short, it wasn't bad money.
With a small bone familiar with the nearby terrain, it was quickly descended the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Shufang encountered a group of necromancers.
As for why Xiao Shufang could tell that they were necromancers, it was because they had a group of undead servants in front of them, most of whom were also skeleton soldiers.
However, many of them were third-order skeleton soldiers and fourth-order mid-stage skeleton warriors, and according to the number of them summoned, Xiao Shufang found that this group of necromancers should all be fourth-order apprentice mages.
If the official necromancer who has reached the fifth order can summon the walking corpses of the fourth order, of course, it is also possible that these necromancers are slow to walk and are unwilling to summon the walking corpses.
However, they will not surpass the sixth-order necromancer at the highest, because most of the sixth-order necromancers like to summon ghosts.
Ghosts are not only fast and able to fly, but they are also good at stealth, powerful attacks, and most importantly, immune to a number of physical attacks.
After walking in, Xiao Shufang found that these necromancers were quite young, and it seemed that they were indeed a group of apprentice mages, and they probably came here to explore, but it seemed that they also came out of the mountains, and they should have gained a good harvest from their happy appearance.
Before Xiao Shufang could speak, a group of necromancer apprentices came up to greet him.
"Apprentice necromancer Beverly, I wonder what this little brother and this dark elf are called?" The lead apprentice necromancer was the oldest of the all, and he looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.
However, Xiao Shufang knew that necromancers were often prone to aging due to factors such as their hearts, and he also knew that this Beverly was estimated to be fourteen or fifteen years old at most, and he seemed to be a very talented guy to the point of apprenticeship of necromancers.
"Necromancer Edward, this is my follower." Xiao Shufang understood that his dress and the identity of the dark elves of Sephiroth next to him looked suspicious, so he had to point out that he was officially a necromancer.
"Huh?" As soon as they heard that Xiao Shufang was actually an official necromancer, those trainee necromancers immediately began to talk about it.
After all, Xiao Shufang looks very young, and his summon is still a broken-looking skeleton soldier, so it won't be bluffing.
However, Beverley, who was standing closer, saw the bone bag that Xiao Shufang deliberately exposed.
Beverly was immediately taken aback when he saw the style of the bone bag, it was a high-grade bone bag, a magic item that only high-level necromancers could afford, and this young-looking necromancer definitely had a high-level necromancer mentor or above. (Because necromancers don't have much family value, they don't have any big families.) Most of the focus is on the mentoring relationship. )
In this way, it makes sense for the followers of the Dark Elves to be able to do so, although the Dark Elves are rare in the realm of the undead, but they are not impossible.
"I've seen adults." Beverly saluted very simply, and the other apprentice necromancers saw that Beverly had saluted, and they also saluted with suspicion.
"I don't know where you're going, can I go along?" Xiao Shu was anxious to find the city, and at the same time inquired about the news, it was a good opportunity to enter the city with these simple apprentice necromancers.
"Yawei City, not far from here, we are very honored to be able to walk with you." Beverly said flatteringly.
"Well, let's go together." Xiao Shu said wildly and reservedly, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, was his guess right?
