Chapter 371: Necromancer...... Family?
The delicate necromancer is called Ryan, and it's a fairly common name. And the dinner that Ji Ran made was obviously very much to his liking.
"Oh my God, it's so delicious...... I've never eaten such delicious food in my life! It's hard to imagine that in such an environment in the wilderness, you can make such a meal that surpasses most restaurants with just a pot and a campfire...... The chefs of those restaurants should collectively kneel in front of you and beg you to accept them! ”
Ryan is very exaggerated about the delicious way of expressing Xiàn, eating all kinds of food in his mouth, and he is full of praise for Ji Ran. From the mouths of the others, he had already learned who was making this dinner.
"You're exaggerating, it's just because you're so hungry right now that these things are delicious. But since you like it, eat more. ”
Others appreciate their craftsmanship, and Ji Ran naturally has to be humble. But a person who meets for the first time appreciates his craft so much that he inevitably feels proud in his heart.
"No, no, no, it's not just because I'm hungry...... Although it is true that I haven't eaten properly for a long time. The group of people chasing me was so annoying that they didn't even have time for me to hunt and get some food! ”
Ryan gulped down the broth and complained about what had happened to him.
"You're being hunted down? Why? Because...... Are you a necromancer? Rice looked at Ryan from the side. He didn't hear what Alice said, but since Ji Ran invited him over, it must show that there is something worth believing in him. But Les still didn't give up his vigilance - a must-have for an adventurer.
"Oh, it's not surprising that you think so. After all, necromancers don't have a good reputation. But this time. I'm really being hunted down for some reason. It was just a night in the Rainbow Canyon in the distance. Why are you being targeted by those crazy people? Even my best work was sacrificed for this...... Otherwise, why would I bring hundreds of skeletons with little combat effectiveness? You know, a skeleton soldier is not even as good as a wolf with sharp teeth in your eyes......"
Ryan was still whining, and it sounded like he had a lot of potential to talk......
“…… Oh, I'm sorry, I digressed as I spoke. In fact, if I'm not mistaken. The guys chasing me should be members of the True God Order. ”
Swallowing a piece of meat in his mouth, Ryan finally revealed the identity of the group that was chasing him.
"The Order of the True God?" Everyone's eyes turned to Ryan at the same time, and the gaze of so many eyes even startled Ryan.
"Uh...... Is there something wrong? Judging by your outfit, it shouldn't have anything to do with the True God Order, right? Ryan still had a smile on his face, but his hand had already reached for the staff beside him.
"We and the Order of the True God...... It's kind of a grudge. Not long ago, we had a battle with the True God Order, and those guys were very difficult to deal with. Les shook his head and tossed the campfire with the branch in his hand.
"I see...... So in a sense, we are also comrades-in-arms? Ryan breathed a clear sigh of relief. If these people in front of you are also members of the True God Order. Then I would be too sad...... It's almost impossible to escape!
He could see that at least two of these people could leave him behind lightly—the oldest swordsman. And the guy who just destroyed hundreds of his skeletons with a strange bolt of lightning.
Of course, his current worries are unnecessary.
"Why did you come across the Order of the True God? And why are they chasing you? Did you break through their actions, or did you ......" Ji Ran looked at Ryan. This guy, although he has a beautiful face, seems to be a restless guy when he speaks.
“…… I said, I don't know, do you believe it? I just spent one night in Rainbow Canyon, using my Headless Horseman and Skeletal Marshal as Guardians. As a result, before dawn I heard the sound of the Headless Horsemann and the Skeletal Marshal fighting, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a group of guys in dark red robes attacking this direction. If I hadn't run fast, I might have been a victim of those madmen by now......"
It's no secret that the people of the True God Cult like to grab sacrifices, and the resurgence of the ashes in recent days has made many forces on the Big 6 even more vigilant. It's not surprising that Ryan knows this.
"So, your mighty Headless Horseman and Skeletal Marshal are all killed?" Rice looked at Ryan.
Ryan shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "That's right, not long after I fled, my powerful men broke off contact with me. After that, I ran away for a long time, and then I escaped from the madmen. In order to protect myself, I could only summon skeleton soldiers all the way, and I managed to save up the family of hundreds of skeleton soldiers. And just ......"
He glanced up at Ji Ran.
“…… Another quarter was lost. ”
Ji Ran also shrugged his shoulders: "Although I want to say I'm sorry, but in fact, you brought it on yourself." If you honestly come out and ask us to share dinner, we will never skimp on such a small amount of food. ”
Ryan sighed, "yes, you can think that, but I can't. I'm a necromancer - what would happen if I was revealed by the adventurers? If I had a large army of the undead, adventurers would shy away. But if I'm alone, I'll easily become a trophy for adventurers......"
He smiled bitterly: "I don't want to hang up so early, I don't have a girlfriend yet!" ”
Everyone laughed. This necromancer was very cheerful, and it was a pleasure to chat with him, completely different from the rumored necromancers.
Everyone slowly became acquainted, and all kinds of strange questions were slowly raised.
"I said Ryan, is it true that necromancers like to make real things out of fresh corpses, as the legend goes? If there are not enough fresh corpses, they will even go to slaughter the village or something by themselves? ”
Ryan glanced at Baker, who asked the question, saw his curious face, confirmed that he didn't mean to embarrass himself, and answered him.
"There are necromancers who do that, but it's a very small minority, and it's just as disgusted by most necromancers. After all, necromancers are human beings - or were human beings, and they don't take human life so cheaply. Fresh corpses are really needed...... But it doesn't have to be human. And even if it is human, necromancers have many means of obtaining them - such as picking them up in war-prone areas - and they can often be rewarded. Places with more adventurers are also good places to get corpses - although many have been mutilated by monsters. ”
As a necromancer, it is a matter of course to use corpses to actualize...... This is one of the reasons why most people hate them. But as long as the necromancer doesn't kill people to find test subjects, or steal the corpses of other people's burials, they won't be noticed by many people.
Anyway, those corpses are useless, and they will be eaten by monsters and beasts or something—and it's the same if they are picked up by a necromancer, isn't it?
"By the way, Ryan, why did you become a necromancer?" Ji Ran asked Ryan. When he first got along with Victor, although Ji Ran also learned a lot about the secrets of the necromancer from him, he didn't ask him this question - after all, at that time, he was just an assistant.
"Why became a necromancer?" Hearing this, Ryan was silent for a moment, and then laughed.
"Your father is a necromancer, your mother is a necromancer, your brother is a necromancer, and your sister is a necromancer - what reason do you have not to be a necromancer, you say?"
Hearing his words, everyone was in an uproar - could this be a family of necromancers?
"That's right, my family can be regarded as a family of necromancers. In fact, among the necromancers, there are not many families like ours. Ryan confirmed everyone's speculation, and then told some of the secrets of the necromancer - of course, this should not be important, otherwise even Ryan's words would not be able to be revealed lightly.
"You know, ordinary people don't think very well of necromancers. But necromancers are also human beings and have all kinds of normal physical needs...... For example, the opposite sex or something. However, it is almost impossible to find a normal person to be the spouse of a necromancer. ”
As he said this, Ryan had a helpless smile on his face.
"So, necromancers are more inclined to internal digestion. The combination of a male necromancer and a female necromancer is a matter of course. ”
And at this time, Baker interjected: "Female necromancer? There will be women...... Want to be a necromancer? ”
Ryan didn't express any dissatisfaction with Baker's words, and seemed to be used to this situation: "That's right, there are indeed female necromancers. It's not too much, but in my necromancer colony, it's a quarter of it. The percentage has been rising lately, and it may be at some point that necromancers will become a separate species. ”
The last sentence is of course a joke...... Even in this world, most people know that a union that is too close by blood is quite detrimental to future generations...... Such a small circle of necromancers could not have the ability to form a society on their own.
Moreover, necromancers cannot be described as "species" - after all, necromancers are human beings - or have been human beings. If it's an ethnic group, it's a little more appropriate.
"My father was like that, he married a female necromancer, and then left my brother, me, and my sister."
Ryan looked at the fire, and there seemed to be a smile on his face in the red glow. Obviously, his family must have given him very happy and warm memories. (To be continued!)
