Chapter 61: The Necromancer
Seeing that this pale necromancer became more and more excited, and there was no sign of stopping, Bai Qi had to interrupt him, "Your Excellency Mage, it's really a pity that you can't turn this corpse into an immortal ghoul, but it's also helpless, isn't it?" So what does it cost to turn it into an undead zombie? ”
The necromancer was not angry when Bai Qi interrupted him, he just stopped the previous topic and said: "Yes, it's a pity, to create a ghoul, at least a fifth-level warrior is required, and his soul must also be blocked in the body by special spells, although this corpse has practiced some oriental evil arts before his death, which is very suitable for creating immortal life, but it is still a little worse, and his soul has also dissipated, it's a pity." ”
Speaking of this, the mage seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, why don't you take it to the White Bone Mountain?" The Eastern cultivators there can refine it into an Oriental zombie, even the lowest-level white-haired zombie has the characteristics of an undead life, unlike ordinary undead zombies, which will decay into a useless skeleton in three months at most. ”
Bai Qi was a little helpless about this necromancer who didn't have the slightest mysterious and evil temperament, so he could only reply: "I heard that the undead zombies are more powerful. ”
"No, no, ......no," the necromancer shook his head repeatedly, "It's a misunderstanding, in fact, undead zombies are not more powerful than white-haired zombies, it's just that undead zombies can be controlled more directly by mages with spells, while zombies can't do this, they can only be indirectly controlled by something called 'Natal Horcruxes', and low-level white-haired zombies have very low intelligence, which makes them very difficult to control." An undead zombie under the direct control of a mage can easily defeat a white-haired zombie who acts only on instinct, but that doesn't tell the story. Undead zombies are more powerful than Eastern zombies, just the opposite. In terms of strength, they are not up or down. ”
Bai Qi said with a little headache: "Okay, this is the reason why I chose the undead zombies. ”
The necromancer shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have to say, your decision is not wise, this corpse has practiced corpse evil art before his death, although his cultivation is not complete, but if you refine him into a white-haired zombie, it still has a good chance of growing into a green-haired zombie." It was an undead creature no weaker than a ghoul. ”
Hearing the other party's words, Bai Qi couldn't help but move in his heart and asked, "How to grow?" What are the odds? ”
The necromancer said: "I heard that it is in a special negative energy concentration area, burying this zombie in the ground, and after a while, it may grow into a green-haired zombie on its own." ”
Bai Qi asked, "How long is a period of time?" ”
The necromancer shrugged and said, "I don't know, I heard it's been decades." ”
Bai Qi almost rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I can't wait that long to create an undead zombie." How much do I have to pay? ”
The necromancer said, "Oh, it's not cheap, you need to pay five blue evolution crystals plus 50,000 survival points to hold an undead awakening ritual." ”
Hearing this price, Bai Qi couldn't help but hesitate. He asked, "So, what about the combat power of the awakened undead zombies?" ”
The necromancer said: "The combat effectiveness of the awakened undead zombies depends on three aspects, first. The strength of the corpses, most of the power of the undead zombies still comes from their bodies; Second. The freshness of the corpse and its martial arts during its lifetime, after all, the fighting skills of undead zombies come from the instincts that remain in their brains; Third. The caster's magic level and the cost of the Awakening Ritual, which determines how much of the undead zombie's powers and instincts will be awakened during their lifetime. ”
"Your corpse is very fresh, and your brain has not been damaged at all, and I, as a sixth-level mage, is enough to awaken most of the strength and instincts of this corpse during its lifetime, so if nothing else, the undead zombie that has just awakened will have the combat power of a third-level warrior, and after a month it will degenerate into a second-level warrior, and after two months, it will degenerate into a first-level warrior, and after three months, his corpse will completely decay and become an undead skeleton, the combat power of the undead skeleton is very low, and after about a year, it will completely decay."
Bai Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Are you sure that you can maintain a third-level warrior for a month?" ”
The necromancer said displeased, "Of course, I dare to swear by my arcane core. ”
Bai Qi was overjoyed and said: "So what are you waiting for, the deal, let's hold the ceremony immediately." ”
The necromancer looked at him carefully and said, "But, you're not a mage, are you?" And there are no part-time mages either. ”
"Mage?" Bai Qi was puzzled.
The necromancer spread his hands, "Of course, mage, and he must master the first-level necromantic spell 'Control the Undead'. ”
"Uh......" Bai Qiyi was so excited that he forgot about this stubble.
He said with some regret: "Okay, please forgive me. He looked at the corpse and asked with some headache, "Can I leave the corpse with you?" Also, if the ceremony is not held immediately, will the quality of the corpse be reduced? ”
The necromancer nodded and said, "Of course, if the ritual can't be held within three days, then the undead zombie it transforms into will drop by one level, of course you can store it with me, I have a special corpse preservation circle here, which can greatly reduce the speed of corpse decay." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and said: "Oh, if you are not in a hurry to hold the ritual immediately, you can make the corpse into a mummy first, the decay rate of the undead mummy is much slower than that of ordinary zombies, the maintenance time can be doubled, and after being awakened, it is not as stiff as ordinary zombies, and it can retain more of its abilities before death." ”
"Of course, you'll have to pay double the price."
Bai Qi asked, "How long does it take to make a mummy?" ”
"A week."
"Okay, then make a mummy."
The necromancer nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a light curtain appeared out of thin air in front of Bai Qi, and when he looked closely, it was a trading box.
The necromancer said, "You have to pay first. ”
Bai Qi carefully looked at the transaction contract and felt that there was no problem, so he clicked on confirmation, and the system automatically took out ten blue evolution crystals and one hundred thousand survival points from his storage space.
Bidding farewell to the necromancer, Bai Qi left his laboratory and came to the dark corridor outside, he continued to move forward along the corridor, walked dozens of meters, and saw a staircase going upstairs, and two death knights in heavy armor guarded the staircase.
Bai Qi cautiously walked in front of the Death Knight, walked forward for more than a hundred meters, and finally saw the staircase he came up before.
Judging from the distance he has traveled, the length of this corridor is more than three hundred meters, which means that the internal diameter of this necromancer tower is more than one hundred meters, which is ten times larger than it looks from the outside.
Bai Qi didn't dare to stay in this place for long, he hurriedly went downstairs, the hall downstairs was quiet, and he didn't know where the young mage in charge of welcoming guests was hiding.
He walked briskly out of the hall on the first floor, and the two Death Knights at the door didn't move, ignoring him.
Bai Qi left the cemetery much faster than he had come, and returned to First Street through the woods, the barren meadows, and the abandoned houses on the ground of the Soul Shepherd's Shop. (To be continued......)
