Chapter Ninety-Five: Ending and Counting
After dealing with the guards guarding the slaves in the passage, the mages set their sights on the cages where the slaves were being held on either side.
One by one, the sturdy cages were opened by the powerful means of the professionals. However, the necromancers did not open the cage to save these slaves, but for the sake of the mission.
Some of the slaves were good-looking slave girls, while others were mostly strong men, the best laborers for heavy labor. Of course, there are also a few workers with special skills and fighters with a certain combat power.
In the cage, the slaughter began again, and the domesticated slaves slaughtered in screams and fear, driven by the necromancers. The bodies were all removed from the cage and piled up in the passage.
The black-robed mages were neither nobles nor slave traders, these slaves were wealth to others, and in the eyes of the necromancers, these valuable slaves were just some ordinary necromantic magic materials.
There were piles of corpses in the passage, adding up to no less than two hundred.
After the battle, the undead creatures returned to the undead plane one after another, leaving only partially broken bones on the ground. After the necromancers loaded all the corpses, they also cleaned up the entire chamber of commerce, and took away all the broken bones one by one, and also left some of the symbols of the noble families of Damo City.
In this way, once someone from the Chamber of Commerce comes to investigate the news, he will definitely be able to target the suspicion on the aristocratic forces who have conflicts with the Chamber of Commerce.
In just over an hour, it was naturally impossible for the effect of the soundproof enchantment magic to disappear so quickly.
A group of black-robed mages took advantage of the night, most of them left Da Mo City, and only a very small number of them did not leave, and continued to stay in Da Mo City to investigate the rumors after the operation, looking for new targets and more opportunities for action.
After the operation, Locke did not stay in the city, but left Damo City with a group of necromancers.
In the base of the necromancer organization, the mysterious Lord Zhen reappeared in front of Locke and his group of black-robed mages.
Lord Zhen had already known the actions of the black-robed men of the Dao Dao tonight, and they had already been waiting in the huge cave where the necromancers often gathered.
"Everything went well in the operation. When the black-robed leader saw the teacher appear, he immediately stepped forward to report the results of the operation, and handed over a magic bag containing a large number of corpses and supplies while reporting.
The mysterious Lord Zhen reached out and took the magic intent handed over by his subordinates and probed into it, and a large number of materials and corpses inside naturally fell into the spiritual power of Lord Zhen.
"Good job. The mysterious Lord Zhen stretched out his hand and shook it, and the piles of corpses in the magic bag immediately appeared in the cave, and then disappeared in an instant. After collecting a large number of corpses collected by his subordinates, Lord Zhen returned the magic bag handed over by the black-robed leader again.
"We still need more corpses, as long as you can collect enough corpses, you can become my disciple like the original Fa. After encouraging the black-robed leader and making a promise to the other necromancers, Lord Zhen disappeared into a tunnel in the cave again.
Locke couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw the mysterious powerful mage leave.
The reason why Locke participated in the operation this time and came to the base with these necromancers to return to his life was that he hoped to find an opportunity to find out where the corpses collected by these necromancers were placed.
However, in the end, all Locke got was a worthless word of praise and promise, and there was nothing to Locke.
Locke's occasional interactions with other necromancers also failed to find out where the large number of corpses collected by the Order were stored, and Locke was equally unsure of what they were used for.
However, in Locke's opinion, for himself and the necromancers, the only use of the corpse is probably to release the dead qi for himself and other necromancers to refine and absorb to increase the accumulation of undead magic in the body, or to refine alchemy potions that supplement the magic of the undead.
Of course, Locke also knew that necromancers can summon undead creatures through corpse release, and of course, the strength of the undead summoned through corpses is closely related to their strength level during their lifetime. And some powerful necromancers are even able to unleash the Necromancy, the ultimate version of summoning necromantic magic.
The only thing Locke knew was that Lord Zhen collected corpses for the stronger beings in the mage organization, and even in the mage organization, there were many high-level necromancers like Lord Zhen who collected them for a powerful being in the organization.
However, Locke didn't care what the powerful beings in the organization needed a large number of corpses to do, Locke only knew that he needed the massive amount of dead qi released by these corpses for him to refine and absorb, and replenish the undead magic power he needed.
When the mysterious Earthquake was gone, Locke left the necromancer's base alone and returned to his permanent burial place. Here, with the existence of the mysterious Shock Lord, Locke did not dare to wantonly summon undead creatures to slash and devour the soul-devouring fire. Once discovered by Lord Zhen, it is naturally impossible for him to hide in this necromancer organization, and even if Lord Zhen is interested in him, he will only have the only way to escape back to the undead plane.
In the night, after Locke returned to the burial place, he took a bottle of alchemy potion, and the little undead magic consumed in his body instantly recovered to nearly its heyday.
In the darkness of the night, Locke summons undead creatures, and then defeats them in a very short time.
And when the magic power in Locke's body is consumed more than half, he will swallow two bottles of alchemy potion again to replenish the undead magic power he consumed in a very short time.
As more and more undead creatures were defeated by Locke's devouring soul fire, Locke's spiritual power became more and more powerful. The spiritual power that originally extended out of the Lu was more than 600 meters, and it continued to extend farther away, and in a blink of an eye, the distance that extended out of the Lu was already close to 700 meters.
After devouring the soul fire of eight sixth-level undead creatures in a row, Locke stopped summoning the undead creatures.
Devoured eight more sixth-level undead creatures, which also caused the undead alchemy potion stored in Locke's magic bag to shrink a lot again, and after only a few hours, seven more bottles of undead alchemy elixir were consumed.
Originally, Locke had nearly thirty bottles of undead alchemy elixir, but after just a few days, half of them were consumed, and at this time, there were only fourteen bottles of undead alchemy elixir in Locke's hand.
Because Locke had a premonition that the crisis was approaching, it became more urgent to improve his strength.
Devouring and fusing so many soul fires of the same level at one time also made Locke's soul fire surge, but Locke clearly knew that this was by no means the feeling of being about to advance, but the feeling that appeared when the soul fire skyrocketed and was not pure and stable enough, in this case, if Locke's soul fire wanted to advance and transform, the soul fire that needed to be devoured would only be more.
Even if Locke consumed all the remaining undead alchemy potions on his body in one go, it would be impossible for his soul fire to transform and directly advance to the seventh level of undead creatures. Unless Locke can directly summon high-level undead creatures and devour their soul fire when he feels like he has been promoted, this is absolutely impossible for Locke now.
After stopping summoning undead creatures, Locke naturally put a bone frame into the altar space, this time, Locke summoned a total of nine sixth-level undead creatures, but even if Locke was fully prepared to raid the other party, there was still an undead creature soul fire escaped back to the undead plane.
Before slumbering and meditating, Locke naturally counted the large amount of materials he had harvested this time, and the parts of these materials that Locke could discern were worth thousands of gold coins, and there were many more materials that Locke could not estimate the price of.
Locke believed that the batch of materials he had looted was estimated to account for half of the treasury of the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce branch in Damo City. However, although the necromancers knew a lot about the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce in Damo City, their minds were all focused on the corpses of the guard soldiers in the Chamber of Commerce and the corpses of the dungeon slaves, and no one cared about the lack of supplies in the Chamber of Commerce.
