There seemed to be some deep meaning in Orfa's words, but Sarren could not yet understand what he meant.

Spiritism is one of the foundations of necromancy.

Under the groping of the Thorn Whisperers and Witches of the Elder Dynasties, necromancy can be broadly divided into three categories, namely channeling, withering, and constructing.

Spiritism is mainly the study of soul summoning spells, and necromancers who are proficient in spiritism can even summon powerful Heroic Spirits from other worlds in the universe to assist in the battle.

Blight is a typical spellcaster genre that deals damage to enemies through the corrupting properties unique to necromancy.

The iconic withering spell is Aging, which drains the target's life force in a short period of time, causing enemies to age as quickly as time is accelerated.

The tectonic system is a popular faction in necromancy, and the Drusters have studied it quite well.

The Department of Tectonics is mainly to research and make various constructs, endow them with artificial souls, and act autonomously according to certain orders, which is a bit similar to the intelligent robots mentioned in the barrage.

Constructs are made from a variety of materials, and some people like to piece together abominations of flesh and blood, and then use spells to strengthen them after they are built.

There are also people who like to use spells to strengthen inorganic materials before putting them into production, and the two form a closed loop of contempt for each other and look down on each other.

Relatively speaking, as long as one can ruthlessly abandon the traditional morality of being human, the flesh and blood of living beings are obviously more readily available than high-quality inorganic materials.

Orfa suggested that Sarren first refine one of the three necromantic divisions.

Considering that Saljan has a long enough lifespan, perhaps in the future he will be able to master all branches of all professions.

But God knows how many years later.

A person's energy per unit of time is limited, and at present, Sarayan only wants to practice necromancy to meet the standards first, and as for the selection of mastery factions, it will be discussed later.

According to his personal combat habits, Salian prefers to be psychic.

The Tectonic System takes a lot of time to prepare in advance, and the Withering System that favors the caster is not in line with Sarjan's style.

Psychic spells can create cannon fodder to attract the attention of enemies when necessary, creating more opportunities for Sarean to attack in battle.

It is easy to channel animal souls with low intelligence, and it only takes a week for Salian to get acquainted with it, and he can channel the souls of large and small beasts in a fraction of a second.

But when it's the turn of the soul of the intelligent creature, the difficulty begins to increase exponentially.

"Whew~"

In an abandoned mine near the town of Shawn in eastern Drusva, Sarena breathed a sigh of relief.

After many attempts, he finally channeled the soul of a kobold.

It is so difficult for kobolds with low intelligence, let alone other races with high intelligence.

The kobold skeleton of an unknown number of years old was long gone, and Saléan could only let it stay by his side in soul form.

As Sarren struggled to control the kobold's soul out of the cave and prepare to bring it back to Orfa for his errand, he suddenly became keenly aware of a faint fluctuation in the air currents nearby.

"Who?!"

As soon as Sarean's energy was distracted, the kobold's soul broke free from his grip and rushed out of the cave with a whining monster.

"Brush!"

Two dim cold lights suddenly flashed from the corner of the dark cave, and the soul of the fleeing kobold was stabbed through the head from behind by two daggers.

However, this is of no avail, as physical attacks cannot damage Void Souls.

"Ahhhh Don't snatch my candles! ”

While Sarren was stunned for a moment as he looked at someone who had suddenly appeared, the kobold who broke out of control rushed out of the cave.

"I don't believe it yet!"

The assassination failed, and the female thief with a black scarf and masked face couldn't hold it anymore, and her toned legs kicked hard and chased after the kobold.

"Wait...... Hey~"

Saray rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, even if the female thief used leather armor to wrap herself from head to toe, he could still recognize the identity of the other party from the habit of shooting.

Valeera.

At first, Valera just wanted to joke with Sarjan, but she didn't expect that her impertured assassination did not cause any damage to the target, which made Valeera a little embarrassed.

"This girl is still as strong as before......"

[Hehe~ Are you qualified to say others? 】

[Fifty steps to laugh and a hundred steps, the crow laughs at the pig black. 】

Salian rolled his eyes, pretended not to see the barrage's ridicule, and strode out of the cave.

Valeera's dark-lit dagger shimmered with some faint black energy, slashing at the kobold's soul, finally causing it to let out a miserable roar of pain.

"Oh! No, no, no! The fire can't be extinguished! That thing is coming out! ”

"Huh?"

Saljan raised an eyebrow, and a dodge appeared in front of Valeera.

"Stop!"

Saljan grabbed Valeera's dagger with his half-dragon left hand, metal and scales colliding with a crisp sound.

Valeera's only exposed blue eyes flashed with surprise: "You...... Can you control dragonization? ”

Regaining control of the kobolds scurrying around, Sarjan shrugged, "Let's just forget it, but there are side effects." ”

Hearing this, Valera immediately raised her eyebrows, stared at Sarjan's left hand, which had changed back to its original state, and stepped forward to skillfully grab his long ear.

"You dare to use it casually if you have side effects?!"

"Hiss~"

The sound of the explosion in his ears made Sarren's eyes spin, and he didn't know where he was for a while.

[What is the roar of the lion in Hedong? (Tactical Fallback)]

……

Returning to the Thornwhisperer's Den, Salaen was surprised to find that Princess Gianna had arrived first, and she had set off with Valeera.

"Brother Sarena!"

Less than ten years old, Gianna happily threw herself into Sarren's arms and coquettishly threw herself into her arms, and Valeera's mood was stable, and she was not yet hostile to an underage girl.

After playing around with Gianna, Sarren showed the kobold soul to Alpha.

Orfa looked meaningfully at Valeera, who was following closely beside Saljan.

"This lady is yours?"

"Friends."

Under Gianna's curious attention, Sarren began to talk to the kobolds, and was somewhat perfunctory to Alpha's questioning.

Most of the time, the kobold soul would only mechanically shout about candles, not saying what "that thing" was.

"Don't mess around with kobolds."

Orfa looked at Saray with pity: "What you want to know, I can tell you. ”

"Oh?"

Saljan finally gave up tossing the kobold and turned his gaze to Orfa, temporarily ignoring Valeera, who had a bruised forehead on her forehead.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Hey~"

Orfa sighed helplessly, waved his bear paw to signal all three of them to sit down, and said to Valera with a loving face, "Child, thank you for your hard work. ”

Valeera: "...... It's okay, after so many years, I've long gotten used to it. ”

Sarren: "??? ”

"What kind of dumb riddles are you playing?"

Gianna: "Hee-hee~Brother Sarian is so dull~"

[It's hopeless, chemical castration, it's not as good as a 9-year-old girl who can see it thoroughly. 】

[Don't, it's still usable to rescue it, it's best to use it on me, hehehehe! 】

[Hey! Castle Peak Psychiatric Hospital? I've got your target customers here! 】

【Grass (a plant)】

Sarren really didn't understand why Orfa and Valeera, who had just met, suddenly got acquiescing.

But it didn't matter, he wanted to find out what the kobold was talking about "that thing" first.

"It's a long story, are you sure you want to hear it?"

Sarjan: "Let's make a long story short, let's just say the conclusion." ”

Telling Chloe, who was constipated, to take out Gianna, who was not fit to listen to what was going on, to take care of her, Orfa began to talk in detail.

"The 'thing' they call isn't all unrelated to Inas, it's from the same system as the creature that hurt her, and you've been exposed to them in Nazmir before."

Sarjan's expression suddenly became serious: "Faceless one...... No, the gods of the ancients? ”

"Correct."

Alpha's expression also became solemn: "By now, you should have realized what Inas and your father were looking for, right?" ”

Sarjan nodded heavily: "The Old Gods, and their minions. ”

Orfa took over and continued to explain, "When I first rescued Inas, I didn't know that the evil power left in her body was the power of the void that engulfed the will of the old gods. ”

"As I said, there is no good or evil in the power itself, and the power of the void is no exception."

"In the hands of the Elder Gods, the already strange power of the Void has been transformed into a terrifying force that will harm both the spirit and the body."

"Inas's dragon body is tough enough to heal itself quickly after removing the tentacles, but the wounds on her soul are not so easy to repair."

Orfa reminded earnestly: "Sarjan, don't blame me for pouring cold water, before rescuing Inas, you must be mentally prepared. ”

"Even if Inas's soul is brought back from the gap between the two worlds of life and death, there is a high probability that she will not be able to wake up on the spot." (To be continued)
