Chapter 372: The Decision to Take the Initiative
"Actually, you're all thinking, female necromancers must be abominable, right? They were all skinny, with wrinkled skin on their faces and a big hooked nose? You are wrong. In fact, female necromancers are often prettier than ordinary women. ”
Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Ryan smiled proudly.
"When it comes to the study and exploration of the human body, necromancers are far superior to others. Therefore, it is not difficult to change your appearance...... Of course, it's not the kind of transformation with a scalpel, but many other gentler ways to maintain a woman's figure and appearance...... Even necromancers rarely like to surgically transform themselves. ”
Ryan touched his face, looking a little narcissistic: "At least my appearance shouldn't be ugly, right?" This is what I inherited from my mother...... My brother, on the other hand, is more like my father. Of course, it's not ugly, but it's a little more manly. My sister is more like my mother...... She's a real beauty. ”
When it comes to his family, Ryan's love seems to be even more excited.
"Necromancer's families are similar to normal human families—as long as the human families I've heard of are no different from what they actually are. The family will also get together to eat and chat, fight with siblings, and parents will quarrel over trivial matters, and after a night, they will reconcile as before......"
Baker immediately let out a lewd laugh, while Alice looked ignorant. Lydia seemed to understand, her face flushed—and Erin remained expressionless.
"Necromancer's research. It's not much like your research on spells, swordsmanship, and so on. It's the process...... Slightly less acceptable. But apart from that. We are no different from normal humans. However, there must be a reason why necromancers are not accepted by ordinary people...... Those who have transformed themselves into undead or semi-undead creatures live a completely different life than we do. But most of the people in our colony are kind. At least in my mind, it's not as eerie as advertised out there. ”
As a necromancer, Ryan is radiant when he talks about his life. It's no different from those adventurers who chat with people in taverns. It would be more like it if there were two more glasses of ale or something now for Ryan to take a sip from time to time.
"Then why did you leave your settlement and run outside? You know, these places out there aren't very friendly to necromancers. Rice asked another question. After Ryan's narration during this time, Rice's impression of Ryan has also changed a little.
Ryan smiled bitterly: "In the necromancer colony, resources are also limited. After all, corpses don't fall on your head on their own while you're sitting...... A lot of the time, you'll need to collect it yourself. Moreover, the necromancer wants to increase his strength. And it's not just corpses...... A lot of other things are also important. Staying at home every day, it is naturally impossible to scrape together enough materials...... That's why I'm coming out. Of course. The world of ordinary human beings is also something I yearn for...... Compared to our settlements, the world of ordinary humans is much more exciting. ”
And rightfully so. No matter how comfortable a necromancer is, it can't be compared to a normal human city-state or something...... After all, there are too few of them.
Moreover, there are enough ordinary people in human society to show all kinds of colorful lives. And what about the necromancer? In addition to necromancers, they are necromancers......
While there are bold merchants who dare to make deals with necromancers, there are absolutely no daring civilians who dare to settle in necromancer settlements. Because I don't know when, which necromancer lacks real materials, and a twitch of his head will turn him into a fresh corpse......
"You know, in fact, I'm the weakest person in my family. My parents are already in the Golden Rank, and my brother is approaching the Golden Level. And my sister is also a silver high-level...... It's just me, and I'm still a silver mid-level. ”
Ryan said this, with a slight hint of self-deprecation at the corners of his mouth.
"Their talents far surpass mine, and my talents are only average among necromancers. But I can't help it...... They're all necromancers, and there's no way they're going to teach me anything else. It is impossible for me to go to human society to learn other aspects of knowledge on my own...... So, as a matter of course, I became a necromancer. To be honest, I don't particularly like this profession, but now that I'm on a thief ship, it's impossible for me to leave. ”
Everyone understood what he meant. Necromancers are different from other mages, and meditation methods are quite different. Trying to change course is almost the same as starting all over again – too costly.
"Well, Ryan, tell us about the Order of the True God. Why the hell are they going after you? The True God Order is now wanted by the whole continent, and it can be said that everyone is shouting and fighting. If they don't have to, they shouldn't provoke other people's ......."
Ji Ran hurriedly changed the topic. The previous topic was a bit too heavy.
"If only I knew this! Those crazy people, I just slept there, I didn't recruit anyone, I didn't mess with anyone! My Headless Horseman and Bone Marshal are also carrying out guardian orders, and if others don't take the initiative to attack me, the Headless Horseman and Bone Marshal won't attack them at all! As a result, these madmen chased me for a long time, and killed my headless horseman and skeleton marshal! ”
Sure enough, Ryan's attention was pulled over at once. Obviously, he was now full of resentment towards those True God Cult members.
"Maybe you're carrying something that the True God Order has to obtain?" Rice looked at Ryan. The True God Order isn't trying to sacrifice a necromancer, are they? From the point of view of being a sacrifice, necromancers do not have any advantages...... It's not at all as good as the dragon sisters.
"No...... I came out this time, and I basically didn't bring anything too valuable. The most precious thing is probably this staff. But this is made with the alchemy technology of the necromancer, so those people in the True God Order shouldn't be able to use it, right? ”
Speaking of this, Ryan was also puzzled.
"On the contrary, my undead men have basically been killed by the True God Order. Strange to say, they were chasing me closely, but when my Headless Horseman and Skeletal were all dead, they didn't chase me anymore......"
Hearing this, Ji Ran quickly exchanged glances with Rice. A powerful summon for the Necromancer! Perhaps, this thing is the goal of the Order of the True God!
Necromancer's powerful summons can sometimes even surpass those of necromancers. As a child of a family of necromancers, even if Ryan's talent is not so good, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to obtain a few powerful undead subordinates.
The Headless Horseman and the Bone Marshal are actually level 6 undead, and Ryan's strength is only level 5......
Powerful undead often possess a different kind of energy. This is different from the energy used by normal mages, who use energy absorbed from another world. It is this energy that guides them to be extremely difficult to kill, and at the same time has great power—and of course, it also guides the Light as their weakness.
However, what the True God Order wants to summon is an extraterritorial evil god...... That guy was originally the opponent of the Holy Light, so he shouldn't care about that. And those energies of the other world may also have a considerable effect on summoning him!
"It's disgusting that they killed all the powerful undead that my father and mother had given me! For a long time after that, I guess I'll only be able to defend myself with skeleton soldiers. And what they do...... You've just seen that. Hundreds of them can be destroyed at once, what's the use of really meeting a master! ”
Ryan's current resentment is indeed not fake, the Headless Horseman and the Skeletal Marshal, any one of them can crush his hundreds of skeleton soldiers to pieces. When facing the strong, the former's help is obviously much greater than the latter's - skeleton soldiers are almost completely ineffective for the strong.
Ryan ...... When were you hunted down? Les stared at Ryan intensely.
Ryan didn't realize what the news of the True God Order meant to Rice, so he was a little uncomfortable with Rice's gaze: "It's just yesterday, what's wrong?" I ran all day today, and I was lucky enough to come across an ancient battlefield that summoned so many skeletons. And then I was hunting here and smelled the broth......"
"That place you're talking about, Rainbow Canyon?" Ji Ran didn't give Ryan a chance to continue chatting, and quickly asked.
"Yes, it's that Rainbow Canyon not far away. You know, it's a beautiful place, especially now, with so many flowers blooming there......" Ryan seemed to have a bit of an artistic cell, and when he said the scenery of the Red Canyon, there was a look of intoxication on his face.
"But those abominable Cults of the True God have now taken over there! I don't know what they're going to do there, but it's conceivable that those crazy people are definitely not going to do anything to make people happy...... Maybe it's going to summon the so-called true god clone, who knows? ”
Ryan's resentment against the True God Order has not been eliminated at all.
Ji Ran glanced at Rice, and Rice also nodded at him.
"We'll go over there tomorrow and see what the hell those guys are up to! If given the chance, we can't let their actions succeed! ”
Ji Ran nodded and echoed Rice's words: "As for the actions of the True God Sect, we just need to destroy it, and that's right!" ”
With Elith's hatred for the True God Order, how could he possibly let go of this group of True God Order's guys? And the strength of the other party can even allow a guy like Ryan to escape...... Then there will be no threat to them!
“…… You guys...... Is it crazy? And to take the initiative to provoke those crazy people? I admit that I am unlucky, you are not going to help me get revenge, are you? Theoretically, this is not possible...... So, you have a grudge against the Order of the True God? ”
Ryan's mouth grew in surprise on the side, but soon, he understood something. (To be continued......)
