Chapter 2: Ghosts

Tang Mo sat on the bed half-lying and half-leaning, gently stretching the muscles and bones of his whole body, from the perspective of the 21st century, this is already a severe fracture of the whole body, and it is already a great luck to be able to lie in the hospital for a year and a half and heal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But here, it's only half a month, and it's really amazing to be able to sit up on your own. Although my whole body still hurts as if I have been trampled by an elephant, it will not be long before I have to lie in bed all day.

"So, I wasn't trampled on by an elephant, but taught a lesson by a caped ape?" Tang Mo stared at the blonde maid's beautiful big eyes, trying to confirm the correctness of the message.

Cecil puffed out his mouth and replied puzzledly: "It's true that it's a cloak ape, but isn't the cloak ape a docile animal, why would it attack the young master?"

Tang Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, the original owner of this body was really a reckless guy. Or have you been cornered and are trying to break through yourself in this way of challenging the limit? Compared to him, whether it is rock climbing, parkour or bungee jumping, you can be called a sport with the highest safety factor.

Isn't that a gorilla-like animal? Hand-to-hand combat with this kind of guy is really ...... Tang Mo shook his head, unable to accept the fact that his body had been in close contact with the "gorilla".

Victor has been practicing for many years, but he has only barely reached the level of a level 1 warrior, and the cloak ape, which is a medium-sized magic beast with a challenge level of 2!

The so-called challenge level refers to the average level that an adventuring team needs to face a single creature, which must have 5 team members in the best condition, including physical fitness, full spells, and equipment that matches the level. So to challenge 1 Cloaked Ape, you need 5 level 2 pros in good condition!

At the level of a level 1 warrior, to challenge a cloak ape equivalent to the combat power of 5 level 2 professional teams, Tang Mo didn't know how to describe his feelings, do you think you are a "saint warrior"? Are you sure that you are a swordsman and not a brainless berserker?!

Cloaked apes have a layer of leather wings that extend from their wrists to their ankles, and they glide down from the treetops in search of food. Although they occasionally eat small animals, they mainly feed on fruits and nuts.

They have a sense of territory, but rarely take the initiative to attack, and when they do, they usually stay in trees and smash intruders with branches, nuts, berries, etc. It was clear that Victor had completely angered the cloaked ape, and it would come to the ground enthusiastically and have a cordial close exchange with him.

The blood and hair present attested to the fact that the cloak ape was wounded by the sword, but that was the end of it. The sword was quickly knocked down, and the caped ape mastered the grappling (a special ability), and the two sides came up close and close, followed by a one-sided fist that nearly broke the bones of his body. As for the injuries he inflicted on the Cloaked Ape, this medium-sized magical beast has the ability to heal quickly (special abilities), and the slightest sword wound is not a problem for it at all.

A cold voice interrupted Tang Mo's thoughts, this was Aisi who heard the movement and rushed in.

"Master Vic, I'm glad you're awake again. ”

The corners of Tang Mo's mouth twitched, again? Is this mocking? Although he has been dragged back like a dead dog almost every month, as a maid, is it appropriate to talk to his master in this tone? It seems that Victor really has no authority as a master!

Cecil lit the long and short candles on several silver candlesticks on the tall stands in the house, and the small bedroom suddenly brightened. By the candlelight, Tang Mo saw the maid Aisi who came over.

She looked seven or eight years older than Cecil, a young figure in her twenties, long white blonde hair, and unexpectedly soft features, not as cold as her voice.

Ace walked closer and observed Tang Mo's state very carefully. She stretched out her hand, as if to touch Tang Mo's bones so that she could judge their recovery.

Tang Mo looked at this beautiful and hazy palm, as if he suddenly realized something, and suddenly retracted it. Tang Mo looked at Ace in confusion, and she said slightly unnaturally: "I forgot that there is no entity anymore, sorry." ”

What does it mean that there is no substance?Tang Mo slowly reached over, trying to hold her palm, but this time Ace did not dodge, quietly watching his hands approach, touch, and then overlap together.

Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, and remembered something in the depths of his memory, Ace died in an accident ten years ago, and the one in front of him was already a ghost!

Aisi gently withdrew her palm and said with a little sadness: "Although I am wearing a protective positive energy talisman, young master, you are wearing a protective negative energy talisman, but if it is not necessary, do not make physical contact." ”

She paused, then continued, "That's not good for us, although the living and the dead can coexist, please keep your distance. Cecil is perfectly fine if you like, she's different from me, she's ...... Living. ”

Tang Mo was dumbfounded, the memories in his mind continued to wash over his spirit, was Constanta originally such a kingdom? This kingdom believed in the god of death, and after many believers died, they did not have to go to the realm of the dead, but continued to stay with their relatives in the form of undead.

Of course, most ordinary people can only exist in the form of ghosts, and they do not feel any inconvenience other than being afraid of sunlight and rejecting other positive energy and not being able to contact entities.

Professionals, on the other hand, are more complicated, and most of them choose to transform themselves into vampires if conditions allow. Although vampires are not living beings, barely somewhere between life and death, they at least possess entities, can feel the temperature, smell, taste, etc. of the outside world, and most importantly, still have thoughts, which are the most important characteristics of living people.

If you can't meet the conditions for transforming into a vampire, and you don't want to turn into a ghost or something like a virtual body, you have to return to the arms of death. And the bodies they leave behind will not be wasted, and they are often made by special methods to become low-level undead such as zombies and skeletons. Although it is unconscious, unable to think, and has all the other weaknesses of the undead, it is also a comfort to the living, and the specially refined body can also sense the descendants of the descendants who are connected by blood, and will respond to their call to fight when necessary, even if the descendants are ordinary people.

As for high-level professionals, they have more options, such as a powerful high-level warrior with at least 11 class levels, and can consider becoming a death knight after death. Aside from the inconvenience caused by the hatred of positive energy and the loss of smell and taste, this is almost a perfect choice, because the blessing of the Lord God of Death can obtain an additional class level than before death, at least one class level increase, and it is not particularly surprising to increase three or five levels.

If you're a high-level spellcaster, then don't hesitate, the Lich is the obvious choice, and these terrifying undead creatures, along with the Death Knights, form the backbone of the paladins under the command of the Lord of Light.

It's a pity that the Cleveland family does not have the habit of believing in the Lord God of Death, from the original legendary sword saint to the later great swordsmen and great magicians, they all uphold the tradition of not believing in gods. Fortunately, neither the gods of death nor the king of Constanta had any intention of forcing the people to become religious. For them, faith is a gift that does not have to be forced, and the unbelievers must bear the cost of such an attitude themselves, and the bottom line is that they cannot believe in the gods of the opposing camp, especially the Lord of Light.

In fact, the Cleveland family has been on a downward spiral for millennia. Originally, if they could believe in the gods of death, they didn't know how much high-level power they could accumulate for more than a thousand years. But if there is no if, in a country like Constanta, if you don't believe in death, decline is an inevitable end, thinking of this, Tang Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Despite this, Cleveland is only a direct lineage and does not believe in the gods, and does not object to the choice of subordinates and minions, which is not uncommon for Ace to do.

Tang Mo finally has a certain degree of understanding of his current situation, although there are still many things that have not been sorted out, but the most important thing at the moment is, what to do in the future?

Don't be stupid, don't say that this body doesn't have this condition, even if you can become a high-level warrior in the future, can you surpass your father to become a master, or even a sword master? No way! And if you can't reach that height, revitalizing Cleveland is just an empty word.

So what are the alternatives? It seems that the first thing is to learn more about the world. Tang Mo noticed that the table in the center of the bedroom was full of books, and he flipped through them at random, most of them were books on how to practice warrior skills and techniques, as well as some miscellaneous notes, poems, and the like.

"Are there any more books?" Tang Mo asked the two pretty maids. They replied in the affirmative, "Yes." ”

"Where?"

"It's somewhere in this manor, only Cleveland knows the entrance. ”

"Entrance?" Tang Mo asked rhetorically.

Cecil looked at Tang Mo curiously, she felt that the cloak ape must have broken the young master's head. How can you ask yourself about this kind of thing, books are precious things, and the collection of books from a thousand-year-old family like Cleveland is even more priceless, how can you casually let people know where to store them.

Tang Mo understood, he signaled that he wanted to rest, let the two of them go out first, and find someone to inform the Earl of Barisan City that he had woken up.

The two maids obediently exited the bedroom, and Tang Mo quietly recalled the information in the depths of his mind. After a long time, he walked to the fireplace in the house, the fire was not very strong, but it was indeed not extinguished, Tang Mo just put his hand into the center of the flame, as if he was not worried about being burned by the flames.

The flames licked on Tang Mo's hands, but they didn't do any damage. After a while, as if to confirm his identity, the flame turned into a fiery snake and threw itself at the wall behind the fireplace.

Little by little, it was embedded in the black walls, and silver runes lit up on the walls until they formed a circle that surrounded the fiery serpent in the middle. Then the red and silver light brightened, stabbing Tang Mo unable to open his eyes, he felt dizzy, and the two-colored light wrapped Tang Mo and disappeared in place.
