Chapter 188: A Deal with the Undead
"Hello, Master Kruman!"
Sun Licheng took two steps and walked towards a group of men in gray robes.
Seeing Sun Licheng coming over, the leading man took off his hood, revealing a skull head, and the ghost fire in his eyes was extremely bright.
"Hello Sun Licheng, I'm Kruman from the Holy Shield Academy of the Undead. ”
The skeletal head held the staff in his hand, and after standing still, he nodded to Sun Licheng.
Although Sun Licheng was not very accustomed to the undead, he had been with Barak and the skeletons for a long time, and when he saw that Kruman was a skeleton, he did not show much surprise.
In accordance with the tradition of the Goblin Kingdom, he leaned down to salute Master Kruman, and then led the people of the Holy Shield Undead Academy to the headquarters of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Looking at the busy crowd and skeletons along the way, Master Kruman couldn't stop nodding, he could see that the sandmen and skeletons got along well on this construction site.
When I entered the engineering headquarters, the first thing that caught my eye was Sun Licheng's newly made giant south-to-north water diversion project drawing. On this map, a long winding dragon sets off from the Boulder Mountains and heads north, passing through the Blue Sea Oasis and the Date Oasis before reaching the Stone Bridge Fort, which completely runs through the northern sand sea.
"Your Excellency Sun Licheng, when I received Barak's letter, although I believed in my disciples, I still had doubts about whether you would be able to complete such a project. But today I saw your team, especially this picture, and I was convinced that you are absolutely sure that you will be able to complete this great project. ”
Standing in front of the map and looking at it for a long time, Master Kruman couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, you're overrated. ”
Sun Licheng replied humbly as he invited everyone to sit down.
After drinking Sun Licheng's special tea on both sides, Master Krumman explained his intention.
In this world, the undead are considered a symbol of evil, and the necromancer has come out of his own turf, which is a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and fights.
In such a harsh living environment, because the necromancer can summon skeletons and has an immortal body, he barely found a place on this continent, survived tenaciously, and built some undead academies.
Kruman has lived for more than two thousand years, even older than some of the younger gods. If it weren't for the necromancer on the plane that he remembered, he might have been in the divine realm.
But no matter how hard the necromancers tried, the worldly forces resisted them until Barak met Sun Licheng.
When he saw Barak in the letter saying that he had been invited to participate in a great construction project, Master Kruman was tempted to find the sea of sand on the map and found that it was a barren land, but in any case, it was an important step for the necromancer to move towards secular society.
In order to check that place for himself, Master Kruman spent a month arranging his work, and when he was finally free and ready to set off, the news came that the demon legion had invaded the plane.
The news caused a huge repercussion in the Aegis Academy of the Dead, and the necromancers generally believed that a gifted student and a great project had died in this way.
What everyone didn't expect was that the demon army was defeated by the backward and barbaric sandmen, and what was even more surprising was that the god of knowledge and diplomacy also descended on that place to personally pray for the blessings of the sandmen, and the south-to-north water diversion project began again.
No matter how much people don't understand, one thing is agreed, and that is to go there and see how necromancers fit into secular society.
"Dean Kruman, allow me to address you like that. I think you'll be more able to represent the interests of the Necromancer community in this way. ”
After listening to Master Kluman's introduction, Sun Licheng thought about it and said.
"Of course, my child. It is because of your presence that I see the opportunity for the necromancer to grow. ”
Master Kruman replied with a smile, but in Caroline's eyes, it was still so terrifying.
"I think the key to Barak's ability to integrate into the Sand Sea is that he has formed a close working relationship with other Sand People in his labor. Let the sandman see that in addition to destruction, the necromancer has a strong ability to build, and is an extremely reliable partner. ”
Sun Licheng said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, he talked about the rapid escalation of Barak's undead summoning because of his labor, and emphasized at the end: "I have heard a saying that 'labor creates man'. In the light of Barak's situation, I would say that it is labor that creates true masters!"
After listening to Sun Licheng's speech, the eyes of all the necromancers lit up, most of these people were no longer living creatures, and even some of them were like Master Kruman, who had no body, but their pursuit of magic was still so hot.
After seeing Barak's progress and listening to Sun Licheng's summary, the wizards deeply agreed.
"Your Excellency Sun Licheng, do you think this is good, for the sake of this South-to-North Water Diversion Project, our Holy Shield Undead Academy will provide support as much as possible. In return, I hope you can convince the sandman to let us live in this sea of sand, I don't know what you think?"
Master Krumman asked.
"I think it's feasible, although the sea of sand is a forbidden area for life, for undead creatures, it is no different from other places. I think that with the addition of necromancers, the problem of labor shortage of sandmen can be greatly alleviated, and I think they will be able to figure it out. ”
Sun Licheng thought about it and gave Krumman a satisfactory answer.
After sending the necromancers down to rest, Sun Licheng convened a meeting of the sand chiefs, and the topic of the meeting was whether the sand sea was open to the necromancers.
What Sun Licheng didn't expect was that the sandman was very tolerant of this matter and had no objections.
Sun Licheng thought about it and understood, after more than a month of common labor and life-and-death battles, the sandman had become accustomed to living with Barak and his skeleton soldiers. Especially with the skeleton soldiers, both the transportation of materials and the labor intensity of the sandmen have been significantly improved.
In this case, it is logical to accept Barak's teacher.
After the meeting, Sun Licheng hurriedly informed Kruman of the results, and the immortal old monster looked very excited.
He shook Sun Licheng's hand and said gratefully: "Although we necromancers are also a type of mage, we have been forced to wander outside the mainstream world, and we have also been bullied by other mages, especially those mage countries and mage cities, and even encircled and suppressed us from time to time. With the Sand Sea, we will be able to grow and thrive here, and let the world know through our actions that we necromancers are not demons. ”
Looking at the old guy who was trembling with excitement, Sun Licheng patted his arm from time to time to express comfort, and when his mood stabilized, he whispered: "Master Kruman, I am very interested in magic, and I also like the undead summoning technique, I wonder if you can teach me?"
"Of course there's no problem! As long as you want to learn, I'll leave it to you!"
After listening to Sun Licheng's words, Kruman agreed without thinking about it, which made Sun Licheng very happy.
However, he looked at Master Kruman's skeletal head, and had another question, and asked cautiously, "Master, I have learned necromancy and will not become like Barak and you, right?"
