Chapter 4 "Rank" and "Revised Again"
'Thank the gods for giving me food......,' Huey prayed quietly as he sat down in front of the three cracked, but still blue soul fires in front of the burning bone rat skull, clasped his hands to his chest.
As a hungry undead spirit, there may or may not be enough to pray like this before eating. If he hadn't been born into a family of priests, maybe he probably wouldn't. But he was always a man who was born and raised in a family of priests, and worked in the Holy See until his death. Prayer before eating may have become an instinct engraved in his soul, right? Maybe in the future, this habit will disappear completely, or it may be that he will always pray like this in the future.
'Thank you to the god of light...' he finally finished his prayer after enduring his hunger. Can't wait to pick up one of the three bone rat skulls. Instinctively, he placed it in front of his skull and sucked it hard.
He used "Soul Drain" on the bone rat skull in his hand to devour the soul fire.
"Soul Drain" is the gift of the undead, which can devour the soul fire of another undead or the soul of a dying person!
The soul fire in the bone rat's skull poured out frantically from the bone rat's eye socket under the absorption of "soul sucking", and drilled into the hole in Xiuyi's eye socket and nose.
Between Xiuy's skull and the bone rat skull in his hand, a dark blue silk thread was formed.
The dark blue soul fire of the bone rat entwined and wrapped Xiuyi's already dim light blue soul fire, and an unprecedented wonderful feeling swept through the soul fire. It's a strange feeling, and it's weird. It's the biting ice, but it's warm and cozy. It's like being buried in the snow by someone else, and it's like soaking in a hot spring. It's wonderful, it's weird.
In fact, the soul fire of the undead is a very strange thing, it will change color due to the emotions of the undead, when the mood of the undead is normal, the soul fire is a cold dark blue, when the spirit of the dead is angry, the soul fire will turn a scorching crimson, and when the spirit of the death will be desperate, it will turn into a terrifying deep black. Of course, soul fire is not just something that expresses the emotions of the undead, it is also the root of the existence of the undead, the soul.
The stronger the undead, the darker the color of its soul fire, the surrounding temperature will be lowered by the cold of the soul fire, and the weaker the undead, the weaker the soul fire, when the soul fire is extinguished, it is the time when the undead perished!
If a dead soul does not ignite the soul fire, then it is incomplete, the wisdom of the undead is stored in the soul fire, and the undead who do not ignite the soul fire are not worthy of wisdom, name, memory, and power.
It's like the difference between a soulless person and a soulless person. Both are human beings, but the difference between the two is enormous. The former is the same as the earth and rocks on the ground, while the latter is the crystallization of intelligence and living things.
When an undead spirit ignites a soul fire, the Grim Reaper will bestow different powers on it. The mage gives two beginners of necromancy, the warrior gives weapons and armor to the underworld, and the archer has a bow and a quiver with forty-four arrows.
In the world of living beings, forty-four is a very unlucky number. Forty-four days after the creation of the world, the creator god died of exhaustion of his strength. Later, under the siege of forty-four corpse witch kings, the god of the underworld was shot to death by the poisoned arrows of the god of death, and thus fell. Therefore, the beings of the spiritual realm believe that forty-four is the number that represents death. Of course, I don't want to mention that.
Although there is not only one type of undead in the underworld, skeletons are the largest and most numerous undead in the underworld, and they receive gifts that are unimaginable for other types of undead. But there is one thing that is bad about skeletons, and that is talent, all races have talent, and of course the undead also have it.
The talent of the skeleton is related to its own profession, the talent of the skeleton warrior "sword mastery", which can make the skeleton warrior better master the knight sword, giant sword, one-handed long sword, short sword, and dagger in the opponent, the talent of the skeleton archer is "accurate", so that the skeleton archer can hit more than 87% of each shot, and the talent of the skeleton mage to which Xiu Yi belongs is "mana control", which is a high degree of mana control. And the "soul absorption" used by Xiu Yi against the bone rat is a common talent of all undead. These talents of skeletons seem to be very powerful, but other types of undead have 2 or 3 talents, plus "soul drain", and can have up to 4 talents!
Therefore, although the skeleton is numerically superior, other types of undead have the advantage in talent, and the skeleton has become the base of the undead pyramid.
After about ten seconds, the soul fire in the bone rat's skull had been devoured by the "soul absorption", and the eye sockets that were originally shining with a faint blue light had turned into a pair of small black holes.
The hand composed of the skull tightly grasped the bone rat skull whose soul fire had been extinguished, and pinched it to pieces.
Xiuyi's soul fire, which had already devoured a bone rat's soul fire, had become darker in color, but it had not yet returned to its original depth, and it seemed that this bone rat was not enough to restore Xiuyi's soul fire to normal.
'Fortunately, the fireball technique blew up the bodies of the three bone rats at one time, otherwise, they would have to starve. He thought as he picked up a dark black bone rat skull that had been devoured by his companion's soul fire and began to devour his soul fire.
After devouring the soul fire in the skulls of the remaining two bone rats, Xiuyi's soul fire has completely returned to normal and no longer feels hungry.
The soul fire was extinguished, and the empty bone rat skull inside was crushed and thrown aside. Xiui stood up, looked at the cave full of bones, and began to explore. He wanted to find a small piece of Stygian Copper, or the remains of a skeleton warrior whose soul fire had been extinguished, but whose weapons were still there. Of course, the latter idea is a bit unlikely.
After all, once the remains of a skeleton warrior with weapons and equipment, even if there are them, they will not be picked up by him, whether it is the living world or the underworld, as long as they are equipped, there are many things for beginner warriors to cut down fifth-order mages or archers.
Neither a low-level mage nor a low-level archer would be an opponent of a low-level warrior who wears a heavy knight or is agile. Of course, the rank of a mage or archer cannot be higher than the fifth rank, otherwise, the warrior will have only one fate, and that is to die without a place to be buried.
The warrior is a one-to-fifth-order, very restrained, bow two professions, but from the sixth order onwards, the warrior will become a profession that is defeated by the law and the bow, so that the fifteenth order that has been wanted will not be restrained by the law and the bow. There are pros and cons.
The three classes of Dharma, Bow, and Warrior are divided into 30 ranks, and when they are ranked 1st to 5th, they are called Warrior, Mage, and Archer.
From the sixth to the tenth order, it is the Swordsman, the Warlock, and the Ranger.
From the eleventh to the fifteenth order, it is, the Great Swordsman, the Magister, and the Jungle Ranger.
At the sixteenth and twentieth levels, it was knights, archmagisers, and marksmen.
People who have reached the twenty-first to thirtieth rank are all beings who have attained transcendent sanctification, and their names are respectively. Juggernaut, arcane spells, and life-chasing marksmen.
The profession of pastor has only three titles: pastor, priest and bishop, which are 1 to 10, 11 to 20, and 21 to 30.
Among the warriors of the undead, the name of the archer is no different from the above, except that the undead are added before the title.
But the mages in the necromancers are completely different from the above, the mages in the necromancers are divided into two factions, necromancers and necromancers, it sounds like necromancers are higher than necromancers, but in fact, they are the same as the title of the first to fifth order. The only difference between the two is that they believe in gods, a necromancer is a mage who believes in a god other than the god of death, and a necromancer is a mage who believes in the god of death. The latter is considered heretical by most religions, while the former is not considered heretical.
The Necromancer faction is known for Necromancer, Necromancer, Lich, Grand Lich, and Lich King.
The Necromancer lineage is the Necromancer, Necromancer, Corpse Witch, Great Corpse Witch, and Corpse Witch King.
