Chapter 309: The Heart of the Undead, a studious outlier, a negative energy realm

"Claudia, what is that 'Tear Stone' that condensed after Helen's demise?" Instead of dwelling on the topic of the Marquis of Blood, Moriarty suddenly smiled.

"Well, you know you won't let go of 'my' loot."

Glaring at each other, Claudia's palm stretched out, and in the white palm was a gray teardrop-shaped spar. And under the transparent crystal is a swimming black smoke, which flickers and closes, and occasionally shows a ghostly face similar to Helian, with empty eyes and a slightly open tongue, as if praying for something.

"This is the 'heart of the undead' condensed by the soul of the high-level undead after death, and it contains the power of death. Moreover, Helens is a high-ranking priest of the 'Grim Reaper', so it still contains a little faith in its undead heart, so I advise you not to treat it as ordinary magic material at will. The Blood Count looked at the tearstone in his hand, salivating slightly, but handed it to Moriarty anyway.

"Yes." Moriarty didn't directly reach out to take it, but looked at it for a moment and nodded: "How useful is this heart of the dead for you?" ”

"Of course!" Claudia's eyes lit up, but she didn't explain much.

"Well, it can be yours."

"Really?"

The Blood Earl seems to be unconvinced. In any case, a heart of the dead is a rare high-level material, and it has a different meaning for the priesthood. And now that the other party is sending it away without saying a word, is it planning to "buy people's hearts"?

"Of course, after all, you killed Helens." Moriarty looked at the other party's suspicious expression and smiled again: "But." I have one condition. ”

"You speak."

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, whether it is in Dejia or Erathia.

"I'd like to borrow your Necronomicon book." Moriarty said.

"Necronomicon!? Do you want to change classes to become a necromancer!? The Necronomicon is the necromancer's spellbook, and Claudia was immediately surprised when she heard that Moriarty wanted to read it.

"Hehe, you're thinking too much." Moriarty shook his head.

"That's right. You already have a specialization-level fire elemental realm projection, and your future prospects are extremely vast, so naturally you don't need to transfer to another completely unfamiliar realm. ”

"I just wanted to refer to the magical knowledge and magic skills of the 'Necromancy'." Moriarty was completely blunt.

"You don't think necromancy is a deviant way? Or evil crimes? ”

Claudia looked at Moriarty, who had a calm face, and blinked strangely. Now she knew that the other party was from the Orthodox Academy of Magic in Bracada. It is customary to hate the necromancers of Deja. At the very least, it should be dismissive.

"There is a distinction between orderly and chaotic in the nature of power, and there is a difference between good and evil in those who use power, but these should not be the shackles that imprison us from exploring the world." Moriarty looked at the Blood Count and said in a deep voice, "If one day." You are also interested in learning about the four elements of magic. I would be more than happy to be your mentor. ”

"You're right... It's true? "Hear Moriarty's words. The Blood Count's eyes suddenly brightened, and they were even more burning than when he faced the heart of the dead just now.

"Nature is true." Moriarty nodded earnestly.

"So, sir. Allow me to learn magic from you! ”

As if her long-cherished wish had suddenly come true one day, Claudia jumped to her feet, and then solemnly bowed to the sherding in front of her for the first time as a magical latecomer.

Seeing Count Blood's solemn expression, Moriarty realized that the other party was also an outlier among necromancers, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"I'll give you back the Necronomicon tomorrow." Taking a lacquered spell book with a red and black cover from the Blood Count, Moriarty calmly pocketed it, then took out a copy of "On Elemental Meditation" and a study scroll, and handed it over: "This is the basic book of elemental magic, if you are interested, you can try to read it first." Try to think on your own if you don't understand, with your second-level necromancer's foundation, you should be able to understand it, if you really don't have a solution or hesitate, ask me questions. The other scroll says 'Fire Magical Defense', so learn and master it as your first Tier 1 elemental spell. ”

"Yes." In the face of magic learning, Claudia's expression was unusually serious, and there was no longer the usual arrogance.

"Well, then you can go back to the airship first, and the second cabin will be for you to use for the time being. If you don't have to, don't come out at will, after all, this is Erathia, and ordinary humans are still afraid of the 'Dejia people'. Moriarty contemplated.

"Yes."

Having taken the Heart of the Dead and receiving Moriarty's promise to teach her elemental magic, tonight was enough for Claudia to make a blood salute and vanish.

"Morty... Are you really going to use her for a long time? ”

After Claudia left, Guderian finally couldn't help but lean over and ask, even if the other party had saved his life under the sword of the coffin knight before. But after all, it is the Blood Count, a terrifying high-level blood clan, even if he has made a blood core oath and pledged allegiance to become Moriarty's demonic pet, it is still very twisted in the eyes of unknown outsiders, and may even cause rumors and damage the reputation of Olympus.

"Yes." Moriarty nodded: "There are some risks involved, but it's worth taking. After all, the help of a Blood Count is a very powerful complement to Olympus. ”

"But—" The dwarf seemed to be trying to say something.

"Don't worry too much, it's wartime, as long as it's beneficial to defeat the demon invasion, even if the whole country reaches a temporary alliance with Dejia, I think Her Majesty the Queen will consider agreeing." Moriarty shook his head to stop Guderian, was silent for a while, and finally said softly: "And this time, there are high-ranking priests and holy grails of the Church of Light born one after another, I am afraid that even if the demon war finally ends, the Kingdom of Erathia will not be able to return to peace easily." So, now we have to plan ahead..."

"Okay, you're the boss, listen to you." Seeing that Moriarty's expression was worried and solemn, the dwarf could only sigh lightly and say nothing more.

Letting Guderian and Tchaikov leave to rest first, Moriarty excused himself to meditate and stayed alone in a secluded tavern. Slowly arranging the next magic circle to shield detection, he took out Claudia's necromancy book, and then directly put it into the crystal book.

Level 1 necromancy "Possessed by Evil Spirits".

Level 1 Necromancy "Negative Energy Guardian".

Level 1 necromancy "Necro Ray".

Immediately, three new forms of necromancy were fully burned into the Crystal Book from the Necronomicon.

At the same time, a little obscure fluctuation came out of the crystal book, as if opening up the world and stirring the soul of the master. But in an instant, it seemed like a thousand years, and a gray storm swept up in Moriarty's soul. Then from the inside out, the silent roar, in the blink of an eye, it was revealed and manifested in the world.

"Wow!"

It was like a silent tide surging, and in an instant, a new gray realm centered on Moriarty appeared in this material world, which was the realm of negative energy (pseudo).

The gray field was immediately retracted, and Moriarty was pale, as if injured.

Moriarty was surprised that absorbing Claudia's Necronomicon would immediately activate a negative energy realm that only high-level necromancers could possess (Dejia became a Necronomicon). However, he did not dare to present this realm in front of people, otherwise he would inevitably be disgusted or even banished as a necromancer. And just now, although Moriarty tried his best to withdraw the negative energy realm in the first place, just this moment of blessing had already consumed some of his life force. After all, it is the exclusive domain power of the undead, and even if Moriarty has the crystal book and becomes the master of the realm, he will still be attacked and eaten by negative energy, unless he transforms all or at least part of his vital signs into the undead through a special ritual.

"What a chicken rib! How nice it would be if it was to stimulate the only remaining water elemental realm, or if it was to raise the earth or qi realm to the specialized level! ”

After drinking the healing potion and endurance potion continuously, Moriarty let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, the power of the crystal book to stimulate the realm has always been "self-talking", and he has no room for too much complaining, so he can only "be at ease".

However, Moriarty was very interested in the newly obtained three first-level necromancy, and after a short break, he studied it carefully.

"Possessed by evil spirits", the power of the undead is invested in ordinary life forms, so that their life energy is severely disturbed. Although it cannot directly injure or kill them, it can greatly increase the target's physical consumption and interfere with the use of its basic combat power.

"Negative Energy Guardian", similar to the "Elemental Magic Defense" spell, uses negative energy as a barrier to resist other magical attacks, especially against divine attribute power.

The "Necromantic Ray" condenses high-purity negative energy on the front line, directly attacking the target itself, forming a vicious corrosive kill.

"Sure enough, they are all based on negative energy and the power of the undead, creating zào's offensive and defensive spells; Although it is very different from elemental magic, there are only three first-level spells, but they have a cave, which can be seen behind the complete, well-studied, and rigorous necromantic magic system. ”

After a long taste, Moriarty gave his own judgment.

As the night passed, Moriarty spent time in new realms and new spells, and did not stop until Guderian came to him at dawn.

After a night's rest, most of the legion was recuperated. With the exception of the Iron Fist Company, which had suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Midnight Verdict-Gauguin, which needed to be urgently retrieved from Rheinberg and repaired by goblin craftsmen, the other companies maintained full combat strength.

After Clausewitz's preliminary inventory, there were really a lot of materials kept in the town of Sosk, and the detailed figures would need to wait for an expert like Hadro to come and figure them out. (To be continued......)
