Chapter 43: Is It Really That Powerful?
"Duke Tony knows his father?" Trunk asked, a little strangely
"That was more than twenty years ago, and the first time I knew your father's name was in the internal exchange arena of all the Empire's higher schools, and that year's exchange tournament, your father showed the Empire his military prowess that the world has attracted attention. And I got to know your father after that,' said Duke Tony with a sigh
"The empire needs to be a skilled warrior, but it also needs a marshal who can command hundreds of millions of soldiers, Duke Viola is old, the empire's army needs a capable, charismatic successor, and your father is the talent that the empire needs, it's a pity! He finally rejected His Majesty's kindness, he said that he wanted to fulfill the dream that had been buried in his heart for many years!"
"Hey", Duke Tony said with a little regret: "If it weren't for your father's insistence on realizing that dream in his heart, I think he would have become the second duke of the Bligh Empire, canonized by His Majesty Blay XIII, including me."
"Father's dream! yes, my father's dream has never been realized!", Trunk's sad face was full of loneliness.
Looking at the young man with a sad face in front of him, Duke Tony realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Trunk, you are still a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, I see that your fighting spirit level seems to have reached level 7, so your magic cultivation should be about the same!", Duke Tony pointed to the level 5 skeleton that was still dangling in the room, "Why did you summon some level 5 skeletons, instead of summoning level 7 like the skeleton next to you?"
"Because I can only summon skeletons at level 5, I only recently started to practice magic", Trunk spread his hands and said helplessly, "To be honest, I wasn't very interested in magic before, so I didn't learn much about magic, but recently for some reason, I just liked magic." I think that if you can cast some magic or summon some helpers when you are fighting, then your combat power will increase a lot. ”
Trunk, stood up, walked to Thanatos's side, patted his arm, and said: "His name is Thanatos, and he has been promoted to a level 7 undead by his own strength, he will become my best helper in the future, because he is different!", Thanatos After hearing Trunk's words, the soul fire in his eyes burned with raging flames, and his life was more than fighting! In the past, he fought for himself! Now he only fights for Trunk!
Duke Tony was a little surprised, because Thanatos's reaction was so human!
The undead above the Holy Order, Duke Tony has seen too much, and the undead of the Holy Order can also speak some simple human language, and as their strength continues to grow, they will become more and more humane, but I have never seen an undead who has not reached the Holy Order so humane, and this alone can be seen that the skeleton talent in front of him is really good.
The competition in the undead world is so fierce that the difficulty of an undead wanting to grow up with the necromancer who summoned him can be described as ascending to the sky.
Although Duke Tony is very optimistic about Trunk's future, Duke Tony is not too optimistic about the future of Tanatos. Because since he was born, whether it is recorded in history books or legends, he has never heard of a very powerful necromancer who can slowly grow up with a low-level undead creature step by step with him.
Before the undead are promoted to the Holy Rank, they may be able to successfully advance to the Holy Order by relying on some powerful equipment given by some wealthy necromancers. But after the Holy Rank, even if they are equipped with holy weapons, they can't be promoted smoothly, any holy weapon, in front of the endless Holy Rank undead creatures, it is a joke!
Thousands of years of facts have proved one thing, that is, no necromancer can take an undead creature and grow up in the undead world step by step, either the necromancer's cultivation surpasses the undead creature he summoned, or the undead creature he summoned is overwhelmed by endless other undead creatures in the undead world.
A powerful necromancer can love the undead creatures they summon as much as they love their own lovers! They can also give all the help they can to the undead creatures they summon.
But they will never be able to protect the undead creatures they summon in the same way they protect their own children!
There is indeed a spiritual imprint between the necromancer and the summoned undead, and the danger of the undead can be felt at any time. The undead are wounded and can be summoned to their side immediately, but what about after they are summoned to their side?
Unlike the realm of the undead, every place is filled with a rich dark element, which can make the undead recover from their injuries quickly. However, if you want to recover from your injuries in the Star Realm, you can only spend dozens of times as long as the Undead Realm to slowly repair, and of course, necromancers can also urge their spiritual power to mobilize the surrounding dark elements to help the injured undead speed up their recovery from their injuries.
Help once, help twice, help three times? This necromancer is either a madman or a fool!
Because the next help may be his death date next year! A magician who has exhausted his mental power is a lamb to the slaughter.
Instead of spending all your mental power to repair a heavy casualty soul that may not be able to fully recover, it is better to consume a little mental power and re-summon an intact and loyal undead creature in the undead realm.
And even if the undead creatures are repaired and put back into the undead realm again, what awaits him is still to be hunted down, because he may already be at the peak of his level, being chased by hundreds or thousands of undead of the same level, it is difficult to survive, and he still needs to continue to devour these undead creatures chasing him, because only when he fully advances, the undead who are chasing him will stop.
Of course, if this undead is not injured because he is in peak condition, and is chased and killed by dozens of times his skeleton, then please! Give up this useless undead creature quickly, because he can't even fight one-on-one, and if he dies, he will only be injured in one against three, one against five, so he will be injured, it can only be said that he is too weak.
All in all, if an undead creature wants to grow, it must continue to fight in the undead world, and I believe that no necromancer will summon an undead creature, and then let the undead creature follow him every day like a work of art, without sending it back to the undead world. Sent back to the realm of the undead, there will always be a day when you will be besieged by other undead.
Duke Tony looked at Thanatos and shook his head, he didn't want to dampen Trunk's confidence, after all, this skeleton was only level 7 now, and he believed that it would not be too difficult for this talent to be promoted to the Holy Rank.
"Trunk, I'm a little older than your father, you can call me uncle", Duke Tony smiled kindly, "As your uncle, I don't know what you need at the moment, I see that you love Tanatos so much, and I happen to have a set of equipment that undead creatures can use here, so I will give it to you, I hope it can help Tanatos!"
Trunk looked at the set of equipment that Duke Tony had pulled out from the spatial ring and exuded a strong dark elemental aura, and was about to say no, but to be honest, he didn't think it would be of much help to Tonatos.
Duke Tony saw Trunk's look of wanting to refuse, he only said that Trunk was embarrassed to accept it, and he didn't wait for Trunk to speak, and then said, Trunk, you don't have to refuse, I am your father's friend, such a set of equipment is really nothing, I believe that even if your father is here, he will not refuse. ”
To be honest, Trunk, because of years of loneliness, in addition to learning some etiquette between nobles, the real communication with people is still a little strange, facing such a passionate, so eloquent Duke Tony, Trunk, I really don't know what to say, especially how to refuse the gift he sent, thought for a moment, and finally, Trunk still took the gift, and said respectfully, "Then Trunk thanks Uncle for the gift." ”
"Hehe, that's right", Duke Tony smiled, "As for you, I think with your strength, you will definitely be able to easily enter the realm of the division tomorrow, and the academy has everything you need, so I won't do more." ”
Next, Duke Tony chatted with Trunk for a while before finally getting back to business.
"Trunk, the reason why I know about your existence is because of the battle between you and the seventeenth outside the imperial capital", Duke Tony looked a little serious at this time, "I won't tell you, your existence has alarmed His Majesty the Emperor, originally it shouldn't have been me to come to the realm of the division this time, but because of your strong strength, even Your Majesty has a heart of love, so I came here at my request and with Your Majesty's acquiescence, not because of any banquet, but because of you, Trunk!"
"Your Majesty hopes that you can serve the Empire, as long as you can agree, no matter what you ask, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will agree. ”
Stephen, who had been standing silently next to him, was now completely stupid, and if he felt a little surprised at first because Trunk was a martial artist with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, then as the son of a person who was infinitely close to the title of Duke of the Empire, it was indeed a surprise to him.
But what really made Stephen dumbfounded was the imperial invitation issued by His Majesty the Emperor represented by Duke Tony in front of him, listening to Duke Tony's words, it seemed that this invitation was obtained entirely because of Trunk's personal strength, not for other reasons! Could it be that this is a handsome young man on the outside, is it really that powerful?
(This chapter is written with a bit of a headache, mainly about the survival of the fittest in the undead world.) Because of the plot, I didn't explain it too clearly, and I was afraid that some classmates would misunderstand, saying that since it was so difficult to advance, why would there be so many more powerful undead. So I'm here to explain a little that the reason why there are more powerful undead in the undead world is because their growth is based on hundreds of millions of low-level skeletons, maybe millions of saint-level undead can derive a one-person high-level undead, and hundreds of thousands of one-person high-level undead can become an earth-king level undead. Of course, the numbers here are all figurative, just for everyone's understanding. )
