Chapter Twenty-Five: The Necromancer
"What should I learn?"
Wu Mo asked with some curiosity, but Nova just stared at the skeleton for a long time, as if she couldn't hear any sound at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It wasn't until Wu Mo asked for the third time that she slowly looked away, stared at Wu Mo, and responded word by word.
"What you have to learn is to summon the undead. ”
Huh? Learn to summon the undead, isn't that just like you, becoming a necromancer?
How can that be, necromancers are representatives of evil.
If you're the same, how to go out to meet beautiful women, it is estimated that you have to live in fear every day, maybe you will die young because of this.
"I can refuse, this is too unlikeable. ”
"You must think that necromancers are evil, spurned and despised, right? ”
Nova raised her eyebrows, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she spoke softly.
"Indeed, on the surface, necromancers are synonymous with evil. But have people ever wondered why so many people are willing to learn such an evil profession?"
"In fact, necromancers not only give their users great powers, but also give them the opportunity to see the person they have in mind again. ”
"Like your Astor?"
Nova didn't respond, just turned her back, her shoulders twitching slightly, and a sad mood filled the air.
"Actually, the war against our necromancers happened very suddenly and strangely, many people have just come into contact with this profession, and they have never even seen the undead, so they slowly turned into dust on the battlefield with regrets in their hearts. ”
Wu Mo opened her mouth, wanting to respond to something, but found that she seemed to have suddenly suffered from aphasia, and she couldn't spit out a word, so she could only listen quietly.
"Astor is the reason why I chose the Necromancer path, and the others have different reasons. ”
"Originally, we just wanted to meet someone, but we don't know when it started, and someone's purpose changed. Purely for the sake of the pursuit of power, to become the existence of a deterrent party. ”
"Later, in order to gain more power, some people did not hesitate to kill on a large scale, and artificially created a large number of corpses full of resentment. ”
In pursuit of power, he did not hesitate to kill, no matter how you look at it, this one looks like those tyrants in ancient times, and those bantams.
"Damn it, this kind of person is definitely innocent. ”
Wu Mo finally spoke, and Nova in front of him stopped trembling, turned around and glanced at him with a little gratitude.
"Anyway, it's not too urgent, I'll tell you my story, you don't mind. ”
Mind? mind, there's nothing to mind, I'm not in a hurry anyway, and you didn't tell me how to summon the undead.
Wu Mo sat down very casually, although she was guilty in her heart, she smiled and signaled that she could.
Nova also sat down and spoke softly, her soft voice, like a beautiful piece of music, echoing all around.
It turned out that her encounter with Astor had been many years ago.
At that time, she was just a twelve-year-old girl, and she met Aster, who was seventeen years old at the time, during an inadvertent trip.
At that time, Astor was already a well-known ranger in the vicinity, and with two swords, he successfully completed many bounty orders.
The meeting between the two seems to have been arranged by fate, and Astor has been in Nova's town for eleven years, and no one knows the exact reason except for Nova.
Unfortunately, he still left, without hesitation, because he found the answer he wanted to know most. ”
Nova suddenly lowered her head, said a little gloomily, and then fell silent again. Soon, she crossed her knees, clasped her hands, buried her whole face between her knees, and sobbed quietly.
Cry, the sadness in your heart needs to find an excuse and place to release after all, otherwise it will become a sarcoma in your heart, tormenting you deeply in your lonely and helpless night.
Wu Mo secretly scolded herself, opened her hands slightly, and came to her with some hesitation. After a moment, he sighed quietly and hugged her softly.
"Life is like this garden, flowers bloom sometimes, people walk impermanently. No one knows if the people you meet at this intersection will accompany you to the next intersection. So when you feel like crying, just release it to your heart's content, otherwise you will get more and more uncomfortable. ”
I don't know how long it took, Nova finally stopped crying and gently pushed Wu Mo away.
"Thank you, I feel so much better. Actually, I don't know why, but I have to tell you this, maybe it's because you, like Aster, are men with resolute eyes. ”
Nova whispered, then wiped the tears from her face and continued her narrative.
Asteta hears of an evil dragon that is responsible for displacing him and becoming a homeless orphan.
When he confirmed that the dragon's lair was indeed across the river from the town, he silently packed his bags, and without even telling Nova about it, he just left a letter and crossed the river alone.
Nova waited for five days, and in the end she was a body with severe burns, like half a black lump of wood, and the other half of her body was only a skeleton and a corpse mixed with viscous liquid and flesh.
Anger and hatred made her, who had always been quiet, lose her mind in an instant, and despite everyone's opposition, she crossed the river alone, and finally found the dragon's lair with the familiar mark of Astor's own creation.
It was a mess and devastated, full of sword marks, burns, and paw prints, black bruises on the ground clotted, and pale cyan blood clots, which were said to be the color of dragon blood.
The blood clot was mixed with other things, much like fish scales but the size of a palm, a man-tall light brown corner scattered around the corner, along with several large broken eggshells and a viscous liquid flowing all over the ground.
Nova fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer remember Astor's appearance, and even if someone else brought her a portrait, she felt very strange.
She chose the same wandering life as Astor, leaving the town full of joy and sorrow, and walking alone in this world, until one day, a person appeared in front of her.
It was a man in a black cloak and a black mask on his face, and the only thing he remembered was that the man's hands were as thin as wood, and it felt like a layer of skin wrapped around those finger bones, and there was no flesh at all.
He told Nova that if he did what he said, he would see Astor again one day.
"So, you became a necromancer?"
"No, I was only a member of the Underground Magical Society, and it wasn't until five years later that I actually chanted that spell and succeeded in recalling dead things that shouldn't exist in the world, and becoming a true necromancer. ”
"Can you imagine how complicated my feelings were when I finally summoned a skeleton that was about to fall apart. ”
Then the skeleton came up to me, half-knelt and called out to my master, and it was then that I knew I had succeeded. ”
Wu Mo hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her from continuing to nag.
"What you just meant was that even after becoming a mage, it took you five years to become a necromancer, how could this be?"
Nova nodded, explaining with a serious face.
"Didn't I tell you before, mages release the magic stored in their bodies through meditation, combined with the elemental spirits wandering around, and finally form various powerful magic. ”
"The necromancer is a bit special, and needs to release the power of his soul on the basis again, so as to form the will of the gods, and forcibly summon the soul of the undead that should be buried underground and does not exist in the world......"
And so on, the power of the soul, the will of the gods, and the souls of the dead.
You're talking nonsense here, such a mysterious thing, you actually told me that it was true.
Obviously, these are all plots in novels, how can they appear in reality, how do you explain the so-called soul power?
Nova seemed to understand what Wu Mo was thinking, and ignored his gesture to stop it, and continued to explain.
"I know it might be hard for you to understand, just as hard as I was back then, those words sound outrageous, but it's true. ”
"Well, I won't dwell on that anymore. You said you chanted a mantra before, or you chanted it again and inspired me, and maybe I would have understood. ”
As long as you chant it once, my golden finger will be able to correct it immediately, and when the time comes, I will recite it again, and I guess I will be considered a successful "learning".
Nova suddenly sneered, then responded with a little helplessness and embarrassment.
"That's the biggest problem, I don't remember the incantation at all. ”
"After that successful summoning, I felt breathless, my heart went into arrest, my mind went blank, and I quickly passed out. ”
"After waking up, no matter how hard I tried to remember, I couldn't remember the content of the spell, but I could really summon the undead, and as I became more and more proficient in using them, the undead I summoned became more and more powerful, and even had their own consciousness. ”
Just kidding, you told me I don't remember, so I'll play with yarn.
Although I also know that this round of testing will not be so simple, but now it is too complicated, and there is no way to fix it.
"The so-called soul power is actually very easy to understand, but I don't know if you can comprehend it. Have you ever had a wonderful feeling that it is the first time you have seen someone, but it feels familiar, and that is the feedback of the power of the soul? ”
Okay, eldest sister, the more you explain me, the more confused I become, the soul is such a mysterious term, no matter how you explain it, it is incomplete.
And after you became a mage, it took you five years to comprehend it, so it took me five years to comprehend it.
"By the way, I remember, there's a way to maybe get you to sense your soul quickly, but it's a little dangerous. ”
Wu Mo nodded hurriedly, no matter what danger is not dangerous, let me complete this round of tests quickly.
Nova held her wand horizontally in front of her, then let go of her hand, and the wand floated in the air, spinning horizontally, and the bright red blood droplets slowly spread on the ground, gradually converging into a skull vein.
It was so cold, the surrounding air instantly became cold, and the skull veins gradually levitated, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger all around.
"Who is it that disturbed my good dreams, I am going to eat him. ”
