Chapter 032: Necromancer: Zur
With the permission of the owner of the room, the apprentice gently pushed open the door and saw an emaciated man with long silver hair.
It was a withered, pale man, with very bright eyes, but the sockets were deeply sunken, the silver mess was scattered behind his back, the hair had a terrible texture, and the bloodless skin was like a rough film clinging to the bones under the skin, and he looked like he was on the verge of death. All kinds of signs like this show that it is the long-term stay up late and excessive thinking that have broken down his body, which has led to an extremely serious sub-health state in his body.
He gives people the feeling that his blood is cold and warm.
The thin and weak man raised the corners of his deep, lowered his eyes, looked at the apprentice and Su Hao, his eyes showed kindness, but a creepy smile appeared on his face, this contradictory look and expression can appear at the same time, this may be the change in temperament brought about by the intensive study of necromantic magic.
He pointed to the two poplar seats next to him, and then made a "please come in" gesture.
At the signal of the other party, Su Hao and the apprentice stepped forward, and the two sat down, and then they heard a sudden sound behind them, the piercing creak of the door shaft turning!
Su Hao and the apprentice glanced at each other, their expressions did not change at all, but their eyes showed surprise, they didn't expect that there was a second person living in this room at all! And this second person was almost as quiet as a statue, and when he closed the door, he didn't make any breath or sound at all, not even breathing or heartbeat!
Su Hao turned his head slightly, the corner of his eye looked behind him, and then he saw a strong and thick earthy yellow figure, it had earthy yellow skin, a strong and exaggerated body contour, a rough muscle texture, and a Viking-like facial features, at first glance, it looked like a clay pottery statue that was about to dry!
This is...
The necromancer's long, thin eyes lowered slightly, and he uttered a raspy voice that was tooth-aching, similar to the rubbing of bones, and replied slightly apologetically:
"I'm sorry, it might have scared you. The one behind you is a servant I summoned as the Clay Golem. ”
Clay Golem?
Su Hao then recalled the information about this summoned creature:
The skill of the [Call of the Dead] skill tree, which can only be lit up at level 6 of the necromancer class, infuses the earth with life and soul vitality, thus creating a clay stone demon to serve you. It is a creature made entirely of compressed clay, so it does not feel pain due to damage to the body.
The apprentice glanced at the Clay Stone Demon, then showed a knowing smile and said, "Clay Stone Demon? What a miraculous creation. By the way, Lord Akara introduced us to you and recommended me to visit here. ”
When the necromancer heard this, he smiled mockingly:
"Akara? Oh, that woman... She must have abused the power of the Blind Eye again... No wonder I had a feeling of being spied on, it turned out that she was snooping on me. It's not that easy to find me, you must have paid the price, right? ”
The apprentice groaned for a moment and nodded, "We destroyed the Evil Cave, and then paid another 600 gold coins, and she told me where you are. By the way, my name is 'Apprentice' and this is my friend, and his name is 'Crow'. ”
"Oh? Am I so valuable? Now I have some pleasant feelings. Well, my name is Zur, a master necromancer of the Rasma sect, and I heard that Andariel occupies a monastery in the middle of the Taymor Mountains, blocking the road to the east, so I came here in the hope of contributing a little insignificant power. ”
It seemed that Zur's attitude was very humble, which made the apprentice feel a little surprised, he thought about it, and went straight to the point: "When we cleared the evil cave, we found a black heart, this heart is still beating, exuding indescribable evil power, it seems that the birth of the corpse fire is closely related to it. ”
"Oh? Black hearts? The birth of the corpse fire is closely related to it? Apparently intrigued by these keywords, Nar got up, put on his black cloak studded with hard bones, and said, "Now, please take me there." ”
Although Zur had already gotten up, the apprentice did not move, but said seriously: "Now we can discuss the price." ”
Zur was stunned: "The price? What's the price? ”
"The price for the transfer of that black heart to you, of course."
"Interesting." Zur sat back in his seat, then faced the apprentice, staring at him with a staring at him calmly, as if sitting in front of him was not a stinking necromancer, but a customer who had come to buy something.
After being stared at for a long time, the apprentice said lightly: "The way of equilibrium, there are gains and losses, we are a fair deal, if you can give enough weight, then we will take you to find the black heart." ”
Zur lowered his head slightly, then raised his head, and once again let out a trademark terrifying smile, and said, "Interesting, it seems that you know the core doctrine of our Rasma sect very well: balance. Very well, it seems that this transaction should also adhere to the principle of balance. In that case, can you tell me about your abilities? ”
The apprentice replied, "I'm good at making and manipulating golems made of metal. ”
Zur then took out a rusty bronze dagger from the drawer, held it in his hand, and saw that his palm was filled with lead-gray energy, and poured into the dagger in his hand, just a breath of time, the dagger fell to the ground, and quickly expanded, shaped, and then slowly stood up, a wooden guy covered in spikes and made of steel appeared in front of everyone.
On the other side, the Clay Stone Demon slowly shattered, turning into a pile of wasteland and collapsing.
For unknown reasons, even a master-level necromancer who is proficient in the way of summoning the dead can only maintain the existence of one stone demon at a time.
"This is the skill of the [Call of the Dead] skill tree that can only be unlocked by the Necromancer when he reaches level 24: 'Iron Stone Demon'. If you're a puppeteer who is good at crafting and manipulating metal golems, this skill will be perfect for you. If you still don't trust me, we can sign a contract to ensure that the deal is executed. ”
Zur is right, this world full of magic is indeed not suitable for apprenticeship, but the 'Iron Stone Demon' is an exception, this skill is not only powerful, but also very suitable for the apprentice's profession. Zur was able to use this skill as a bargaining chip, which was already a full demonstration of his sincerity.
The apprentice stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for?" Let's go! ”
