Chapter 67: An Unexpected Discovery
Time flies and flies. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since William returned from his appointment at Draenor Manor.
Five days, not too short and not too long, but a lot happened.
The first thing was that Crean, on behalf of the Lester family, sent a lot of 'gifts' to Lei Ao, the third young master of the Monro family, and Lei Ao happily accepted it.
The second thing is that Crean has hired some servants in the Imperial Capital Talent Market, and there are as many as two dozen people. Every day, these servants perform their duties under the management of Crean, and keep the mansion clean and clean.
To William's delight, there was a cook in this group of servants who was very good at his craft, and it is said that he used to be the head of a large family, but because of his age, he was laid off and unemployed.
Thirdly, Kova officially changed her name to William Rest, representing William's entry into the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic and began as a regular student.
Kova was in high spirits and threatened to come back with a top result in the same period. William was very pleased with this, and he believed that his father, Baron Bazado, would be even more pleased to see that "himself" had passed the graduation examination and received the mage badge.
Fourth, Sumera is back.
Appearing in William's bedroom out of nowhere, Sumera smiling. Even though it was late at night and William was already asleep on the bed, Sumera did not hesitate to wake him up.
"You're back?"
William yawned and sat up, glanced at Sumera blankly, and then fell back to the bed: "I'll talk about it tomorrow, you're tired, hurry up and rest, well, that's all." ”
"I'm not tired. Hurry up and show you something. ”
"I don't want to see it, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"If you don't get up again, I'm going to release a magic lightning spell to wake you up!"
When William heard this, he fell asleep and rolled over from the bed again. He looked at Sumera with burning eyes, and wanted to scold her, but he was a little reluctant in his heart, and his teeth itched with hatred.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I apologize to you!"
Sumera chuckled and apologized, reciting a spell and summoning a black portal that was as black as ink, which was the passage to the realm of the undead.
She took off the Ring of the Dead, put it on William's hand herself, and pulled William into the black portal without any resistance.
Circles of ripples bloomed from the black portal, spreading out like a pebble on the surface of a calm lake.
Immediately afterward, the black portal contracted, turning into a black dot, getting smaller and smaller, and finally vanishing.
At the same time, in the realm of the undead.
Sumera's Bone Territory, above the Bone Palace.
William and Sumera descended from the sky and landed steadily on the huge school field outside the Bone King's Palace.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of 'ping-pong' came to William's ears. He looked around and saw that on the huge school field, hundreds of short skeleton soldiers were working in an orderly manner around a huge stove.
This stove is very large, like iron scrap iron, the whole body is pitch black, I can't tell what kind of material it is made of, but the heat resistance is very high. At the bottom of the grilled red stove, there are many long pipes connected to the stone pools.
Skeleton soldiers poured iron ore into furnaces and smelted it. After the iron ore was completely turned into molten iron and flowed into the stone pool along the pipe, skeleton soldiers scooped up the molten iron in the stone pool with a white stone scoop and poured it into the molds on the small stone platforms.
As the molten iron cooled in the mold, a short sword with a rough handle was quickly buckled upside down on the stone platform, and the skeleton soldiers picked up the stone hammer and other tools in their hands one after another, and struck at the rough short sword to correct it.
Just when William's eyelids were lowered, a short sword with an ordinary appearance and a blade that seemed to retain a bit of sharpness was officially born.
"You're going to show me, that's it?"
William asked aloud as he walked as he watched the work of the skeleton soldiers.
Behind him, Sumera said proudly, "Isn't it a surprise? When this batch of weapons is refined, I am ready to refine the iron armor again." ”
"With sharp weapons and protective iron armor, these fragile skeletons are sure to increase their combat power. When the time comes, the first person I will destroy will be the neighbor of my bone territory, the guy called 'Henara', and then adopt its undead knights!"
"I expected that, and I didn't really think there was anything surprising about it. William said with a calm face.
Sumera was speechless.
The two walked in the giant school yard outside the Bone King's Palace, and after visiting for a while, William suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon.
Other skeleton soldiers are all building short swords, but there is one skeleton soldier that has created one iron rod after another.
Every time he created an iron rod, this skeleton soldier took the iron rod in his hand and waved it for a while, and after trying the feel twice, the soul fire in his eyes flickered slightly, and he did not hesitate to throw away the iron rod and continue to build the next one.
When Sumera saw this, she was stunned.
"What, what's wrong?" asked William.
"I didn't let this guy make any iron rods! The molds are all uniform short sword molds, how did he get these rods? It actually carried out my orders in disguise?" said Sumera with a surprised face.
When William heard this, he was full of interest.
He walked over to the skeleton soldier, and after taking a closer look, he found that this skeleton soldier was indeed very unusual.
The soul fire in its eye sockets is much more powerful and darker than the rest of its kind, which obviously means that it is more intelligent.
The most important thing is that the mold it uses has been deliberately modified by it. This is evidenced by the excess chisel marks left on the mould.
"Sumera, I don't think the weapon this guy wants to build is a short sword, let alone an iron rod, but a magic wand!"
William observed for a moment, then suddenly expressed his opinion.
When Sumera heard this, she looked at the skeleton soldier wielding an iron rod, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that what William said made sense.
"Was this skeleton soldier a magician when he died?" asked William.
When Sumera heard this, she circled around the skeleton soldier twice, carefully identified it for a moment, and said, "This guy is the guy who has been looking for the Ring of the Dead all his life, the intermediate necromancer named Picios. ”
William nodded slowly.
He rummaged through the Ring of the Dead, and soon a wand with a blue crystal on the top was removed. He smiled and said to the skeleton soldier, "Little guy, the weapon you want, is this it?"
As he spoke, William raised his wand.
The soul fire in the skeleton soldier's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a look of longing, staring at the wand in William's hand with burning eyes, and never moving away.
"What a clever fellow!" said Sumera, with a look of amazement on her face.
William gave the wand to the skeleton soldier, took out the Red Flame wand himself, and said, "Come, learn from me!"
The skeleton soldier held his wand, and the soul fire in his eyes grew more and more intense.
William waved his Red Flame wand lightly, and recited obscure magic spells aloud from his mouth, and finally with a finger of the Red Flame Wand, a bolt of lightning shot out, shooting into the clearing on the side, lightning flashing wildly.
Skeleton soldiers do the same. It grinded its teeth in both jaws and squirmed, and finally waved its wand in its hand and pointed to the clearing next to it.
The next second... Nothing happened!
Sumera: "......"
William: "......"
"You're thinking too much. ”
Sumera smiled dumbly, "Actually, the skeleton soldiers under my command are all accumulated by our Noqin family for generations. ”
"We had an ancestor in the Nuoqin family, who secretly trained a skeleton soldier for decades, and never taught the skeleton soldier magic, even if she wasted a lot of financial and material resources. ”
"Later, we came to the conclusion that dead things are either born with magic, like powerful bone dragons. Either that, the dead are extremely intelligent and able to teach themselves magic. As for those dead creatures who are born with no magic and low intelligence, it is impossible to teach magic. At best, they can only charge with swords and iron armor, but that's about it. ”
"No, it really retains its habits and uses magic!"
William suddenly retorted, "Although you didn't notice it just now, I saw it. At that moment, it really released a trace of electric arc just now, although it only flashed!"
As he spoke, William demonstrated again, and the skeleton soldiers followed.
This time, Sumera carefully observed the wand in the skeleton soldier's hand, and sure enough, she found that a small arc of electricity flashed on the blue crystal.
What does this mean? This shows that the conclusions of the Nochen family are wrong!
The combat power exerted by skeleton soldiers is definitely not as simple as charging into battle and acting as cannon fodder!
