Necromancer: A New Era

The next morning, Ming Yin woke up from his meditation, feeling refreshed. He went to the floor-to-ceiling window and stretched his body. Since his soul breakthrough last night, he felt more relaxed during meditation.

There were not many pedestrians on the street outside the window. There were three or two noble ladies in gorgeous clothes, holding small umbrellas that could barely cover their faces, walking and talking with their faces covered. A few servants followed behind them, hurriedly holding up the huge hems of their skirts. It seemed that they were going to attend some upper-class party.

From time to time, a horned beast carriage passed by. Since this place was located in a wealthy area, there was no lively atmosphere and it was a little deserted. At this time, Ming Yin discovered that the beast carriage from yesterday was parked in a corner downstairs, and the beautiful apprentice was standing aside, waiting quietly.

Ming Yin walked out of the room. Chakaer, who was sitting cross-legged at the door, immediately woke up from her meditation and stood up quickly: "My lord, you are up."

"The people from the Magic Guild are here. Pack up and get ready to go."

"Yes, my lord"

Chakaer entered the room and skillfully cleaned up and packed up. After a while, he had finished packing. Mingyin looked at his skillful movements, and said with satisfaction in his eyes: "Let's go."

When Ming Yin and the other person walked out of the inn, the beautiful apprentice immediately came up to them and said respectfully with a sweet smile: "Sir, how was your rest?"

"Not bad! I've worked hard and kept you waiting for a long time."

"You are joking, sir. It is my honor to serve you."

Ming Yin nodded in response, and the beautiful apprentice said: "Then let's go, the caravan is ready, you can set off when you arrive."

"Oh? A caravan? I thought it was a flying monster or some other means of transportation." Chakar asked puzzledly.

"There are flying monsters, but they are too dangerous. After all, it is too far away from the imperial capital. There are many dangerous large monsters in the wild. So it is better to follow the large caravan!"

After a brief conversation, the beautiful apprentice introduced the team going to the imperial capital to Ming Yin. First, there were two major merchants with a total of more than 17 people and ten carriages with goods, two invited mercenary teams with 5 people, and a team of 4 from the Mage Guild who were protecting Ming Yin. The most powerful were the 3th-level water and wind magicians from the Mage Guild, the two 3rd-level captains of the mercenary team, the two guard commanders of the Chamber of Commerce were also 2rd-level, and the rest were 1nd-level, and a few were st-level.

As they were talking, they arrived in front of the team. After a brief introduction, the team slowly set off. The Mage Guild prepared two wingless griffins for Ming Yin and the other man. This kind of griffin is a degenerated griffin. Although it cannot fly, it is very aggressive, smart and humane, and is very popular among magicians.

It was the first time for Chakaer to ride such an expensive mount. Her eyes lit up. She touched this and that. Mingyin discovered that Ariel was also in the magician team. Ariel also discovered Mingyin. As the leading wizard was beside Mingyin, the two had been communicating since they set out. As a level 2 wizard, it was not convenient for her to go up and disturb them.

"I heard from my teacher that you are the disciple of Master Hercules?"

"Yes, I was recently accepted as a disciple by my master, and this time I am going to report to my teacher in the imperial capital."

"Ah~ Your Excellency is so lucky. Lord Hercules is a legendary figure."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with awe and a look of fascination.

"Can you tell me about it? You know, I don't really communicate with the teacher."

"Of course, although I don't know much, there are some stories about them that I can tell you. First, let me introduce myself. I'm Miller Hagrid. Just call me Miller."

Ming Yin also introduced himself: "Cosimo Ming Yin"

Miller was stunned when he heard Ming Yin's introduction, but then he returned to normal.

"Can you tell me about my teacher and his occupation?"

Miller thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, your master Hercules is a 7th-level magician and a 5th-level alchemist. In this world, alchemists are extremely difficult to cultivate and play a very important role. Because alchemists can control pharmacy and prepare powerful magic potions, there are even potions that can directly improve physical fitness and optimize talents. Therefore, alchemists have a very high status, which is far beyond the reach of other professions."

"Your master's master, Master Field, is a true legend. His story is full of legends."

"Oh? Tell me about it then!"

"Master Field is a 9th-level Holy Domain Mage, one of the Three Holy Pillars of Humanity, and the only three supreme powers left in the human race. Since the mysterious war a thousand years ago, the territory of mankind has shrunk again and again. Now the area where humans can move is only a small area in the east. Most areas of the continent cannot be set foot in by humans without a certain level of strength, and are often harassed and slaughtered by other races. Especially the beastmen, they would launch a war against us every year, plunder us, and capture our compatriots as food or tools for reproduction. Twenty years ago, the chaotic clans of the beastmen were unified, united with two other races, and gathered a large army to invade. , in just three weeks, they annexed one-third of our empire's territory, killed a large number of civilians, plundered millions of people, and even nearly broke through the capital of our Kasmoor Empire. That time, the empire suffered heavy losses. Two legions of people and a magic legion of people were wiped out. At the last moment, Master Field made a move in anger, using a forbidden magic meteor shower, killing beastmen and severely damaging the two holy domain leaders of the beastmen. At the same time, he waved his hand to summon three mountain-like holy domain alchemy puppets, which were invincible. With the reinforcements of the other two empires, they regained the lost territory and severely damaged the foundation of the beastmen. So far, they dare not invade our territory."

Listening to Miller's story, Ming Yin's heart was filled with turmoil, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. It turns out that the teacher's teacher is so powerful! "Then... what is the current level of strength of Master Field?" Miller shook his head, "I don't know the details, but it is certain that no one in the Holy Land can defeat him."

Ming Yin took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at the city that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance, and thought of the scene of the beastmen ravaging, oppressing, and plundering humans just now, Ming Yin had obvious emotional fluctuations. He had not been in this world for long, and most of the time he regarded himself as a passer-by, only caring about improving his strength, striving to cultivate to the level of traveling through dimensions in the legendary stories, so that he could go home.

But after these days, the scenes he encountered along the way, the people and things he saw were all very kind. Every time he passed by a village, he was warmly entertained. When he met a poor family, they would invite him to their home and put the only meat in front of him. The children next to him drooled, but they said sensibly, "The guest eats it." Many stories along the way left a deep impression on Ming Yin. Slowly, he himself did not realize that the world was slowly changing him.

"Brother Miller, can you tell me about the current situation on the mainland?"

"Oh? You like hearing this?"

"Well, I'm very curious about this world. You know I used to live in a small town and had no way to contact the outside world."

Miller nodded and began to narrate: "The world we live in, according to historical records, is made up of three known continents. To the west of the continent, across the endless ocean, there is a continent ruled by the dragons. To the north, across the territory of the beastmen, there is the Endless Sea. To the north of the Endless Sea, there is a continent. It is rumored that the continent is full of treasures."

As Miller spoke, the whole picture of this world slowly opened up in front of Ming Yin. Miller took off the kettle and took a sip, then slowly said, "The continent we are on is called the Apocalypse Continent. It is now the year of the Apocalypse 1290. There are only three empires left in the human race, supporting each other. In the east is our Kasmore Empire, bordering the Orcs in the north, in the west is the Holy Empire, bordering the Protoss, and in the south is the Alliance Empire, bordering many friendly races, elves, dwarves, goblins, etc."

"In fact, in this magical continent, the world is full of magic and fantasy. There are many more fantasy races, including ancient races that have been passed down for countless years as recorded in historical documents, newly born races, and races created by gods. For example, the so-called Protoss now is a race created by gods. Each race has unique abilities and characteristics, forming a complex and diverse ecosystem.

However, the human race is now in a disadvantaged position. Due to their weak bodies, they have become the blood food of other races. They have been living in fear and oppression, and constantly facing the challenge of survival. After generations of unremitting efforts, the current situation has been stabilized, but it is still not optimistic. It is said that there are mysterious demons in the extreme west of the continent, accumulating strength to unify the continent and exterminate all life on the continent.

Ming Yin listened carefully to Miller's narration. This magical continent was shrouded in mysterious power, where magic and technology were intertwined to form a unique civilization system. Ancient ruins and mysterious magic arrays hid endless secrets, waiting for Ming Yin to explore and uncover.

Miller continued, "Relatives between races are now complex and tense, with fierce wars and conflicts often breaking out. Humans are on the edge of this continent, and in order to survive, we have to unite and fight desperately against other races. There has never been any friction between the three empires. After all, we are surrounded by foreign enemies. If humans do not unite to fight against the outside world and a civil war breaks out, the only outcome will be genocide."

"In this world, courage, wisdom and unity have become the key to the survival of the human race. Scholars continue to explore and learn, hoping to find a way to get rid of the disadvantages and achieve the revival of the race, such as the newly emerging demon contract magic."

"What is Demon Contract Magic?"

Chakar was so fascinated by what he heard that when he suddenly heard a new term, he couldn't help but ask.

"It is to use the power of contract magic to construct a space magic circle, summon demons to come and sign a contract to fight side by side. This is a new magic faction developed by Master Field."

"Oh? Is the summoned demon powerful?"

"Of course, the demons summoned by contract magic are generally stronger than most known races. Most high-level demons are born with racial talents, some have fire talents, some have strength talents, and a few have space talents and can perform short-distance flashes. Of course, there are also some ordinary demons who have no talents, but their strength will increase as the caster's own magic power increases. All summoned demons can grow with the caster. As long as the contractor continues to practice, the demon will become stronger and stronger. Therefore, this summoning technique is very suitable for those who want to have a powerful partner. However, using contract magic to summon demons requires a certain price. If the price cannot be paid in time, the demon will backfire. Therefore, you must be cautious when using this summoning technique."

Listening to Miller's story, Chakar's eyes lit up. Summoning a devil?

"Master Maitreya, can I learn?"

"Oh? Do you want to learn how to summon demons? Not impossible. I've done some research on this as well. I can teach you when I have the chance. Of course, it depends on whether you have talent in this area. Hahahaha..."

Seeing that Ming Yin had no intention of objecting, Chakaer said happily, "Really? Thank you so much!"

Just as they were chatting happily, a soldier from the caravan riding a horned beast came forward and said, "Mister Mage, it's getting late. For safety reasons, the commander would like to ask if we can camp here?"

Miller is the strongest in the team, so the caravan’s guard leader will ask Miller for his opinion on everything.

"can!"

"Okay, Master."

In the evening sky, red clouds floated slowly. The sky was red under the rendering of the sunset. The caravan guards were very efficient. They built a temporary camp in a short time. They used cargo vehicles to form a large semicircle and piled many huge stones on the outside to resist the impact of wild beasts. At the same time, they would sprinkle the feces of high-level monsters around to dispel the smell of humans and prevent monster attacks.

A huge fire was built in the center of the camp for everyone to keep warm. Everyone gathered around the fire to talk, eat food, and tell each other about their adventures.

At night, a bonfire was burning in the wilderness, and people sat around it, illuminated by the warm firelight. Their faces were filled with excitement, and a lively atmosphere filled the air.

People gathered in groups of three or four, telling each other their adventure stories. Some were excited, dancing and describing the thrilling scenes; others were quiet, letting the audience immerse themselves in the story. Each story was full of fantasy and thrills, causing everyone to marvel and laugh.

Beside the fire, the breeze blew gently, bringing the tranquility of the night. People's eyes flickered in the firelight, as if one could see their desire for adventure. Their expressions changed as the story progressed, some were nervous, some were excited, and some were in deep thought.

On the outskirts of the camp, several people dressed as guards were patrolling, and in the distance, people who looked like scouts climbed up a tall tree to keep watch.

In order to hurry on their journey the next day, everyone went to bed early and did not speak a word all night.
