Necromancer: A New Era

Tang Yue was riding a huge moose, a magical beast unique to the Elf Forest. Although it was called a moose, it was actually a violent creature that always had strong hostility towards races other than elves. However, under Tang Yue's control, the moose seemed unusually docile. Tiffany and the Dark Dragon were also traveling with him, but they followed on foot.

Their destination was the distant natural elves. Although the territory of the sun elves adjacent to the natural elves was not too far away, even for ordinary people, it would take a whole year to reach there. Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. In two months, they were almost reaching the outskirts of the Forest of Life.

At this moment, Tang Yue and the other two were crossing a hilly area, which was the habitat of the Peaks. The Peaks, as recorded in the book, were a race with low intelligence. They looked somewhat similar to the Pigmen, but were not as aggressive. Despite this, they were still a foreign race hated by the elves. Although the elves maintained elegance and politeness on the surface, they secretly sneered at these creatures and were even unwilling to give them the title of "human" when naming their race.

Since entering this hill, Tiffany has been covering her mouth and nose, obviously she is disgusted with this kind of place. Tang Yue saw this and couldn't help but secretly mock in his heart: "What a noble elf."

He suddenly decided to give Tiffany a small punishment. So he stopped the moose and said calmly, "We will rest here tonight."

Tifaniah was obviously stunned. As the former Sun Elf King, when had she ever rested in such a simple and even somewhat disgusting environment? The stench here almost made her unable to breathe, but she did not dare to complain at all. As Tang Yue's slave, she had long been accustomed to obedience and endurance.

She endured the stench in the air, silently chose a relatively sheltered place, and began to build a tent to rest in. Her hands trembled slightly, but there was no expression on her face, she just silently completed her work.

Tang Yue looked at her with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that this punishment might be a bit too much for her, but he also wanted her to understand that she was no longer the high and mighty Elf King, but a slave who needed to obey him.

As night fell, the hilly area fell into silence. Tang Yue sat cross-legged in the tent meditating, but due to Ariel's death, he was unable to enter a meditative state, which made him very distressed.

Thinking of the different treatment he had given to Tifaniah along the way, he didn't know if his decision was right or too cruel. But he knew he had to do this. Ariel had never made any mistakes. She just wanted to find a place for her family to live. But she was brutally slaughtered by the elves who claimed to be noble. She couldn't be forgiven for this. Besides, Ariel had to say so herself.

At this moment, Tiffany might be crying silently in the corner of the tent, or thinking about her future. But no matter what, she could not go back to the past, and could only accept the reality, accept this new identity and life. All the elders and saint-level masters in the tribe were forced to sign the contract, and death was just a thought for Tang Yue. Thinking of this, she felt even more powerless. At this moment, she could only do her best to serve Tang Yue, hoping that he could not cut off the inheritance of the Sun Elves.

It was late at night, but Tang Yue couldn't fall asleep or meditate. He could only take out the magic book and start studying the 7th level necromancy.

After spending a night in the stinking hilly area, Tang Yue finished his research early the next morning. He walked out of the tent and saw that Tiffany had prepared breakfast and was quietly waiting for him.

There was no more disgust in her eyes, nor was there the gesture of covering her mouth and nose as yesterday. Instead, there was a calmness and obedience. Tang Yue looked at her, feeling a little strange. What happened that night? He was just slightly curious, but he didn't ask.

After breakfast, the three continued on their way. Groups of Pigs gathered together, wearing a few pieces of animal skins or grass, holding simple weapons in their hands, standing on a high place not far away and watching them. Although they obviously recognized that there was an elf among them, the fear of the elves in their bones made them dare not approach. A few young Pigs looked at them with curiosity.

Tang Yue looked at these Peaks and was a little curious: "Tifaniya, go catch one and let us have a look."

"Yes, Master!"

The Sanctuary-level Tiffany returned to Tang Yue in just a few breaths, and a skinny Pickle who was almost scared to death was thrown to the ground.

Tang Yue looked at the little guy without saying anything, just looking him up and down. The little guy was wearing almost no clothes, with only a piece of bark draped around his waist on his thin body. He was holding a stick full of teeth marks, and the way it was made was obvious.

It took the little guy a long time to recover. When he saw the strange creatures and the noble elves, he mumbled something and imitated kneeling as if begging for mercy.

Tang Yue frowned. He couldn't understand what the little guy was saying, but judging from its actions, it seemed to be begging for mercy. But doesn't that mean they have low intelligence?

Seeing that Tang Yue seemed confused, Tiffany said respectfully, "Master, the Pigs don't know the languages ​​of other races. Only the wise men in their tribe can learn the common language of the continent."

"Oh? Then let's go find a talking Piglet!"

"Yes! Master!"

The next moment, Tiffany disappeared from the spot. Tang Yue looked at the little guy who kept begging for mercy, thinking. The Pigs who were watching from a distance saw the elves suddenly disappear, and they surrounded Tang Yue and the others with a clamor, holding various sticks, stone clubs and other weapons.

The Nether Dragon seemed to sense the provocation and released the 7th level aura from its body. The scene instantly became extremely quiet. The tall and mighty Nether Dragon turned into a terrifying creature. The enormous pressure made these Pigs drop their weapons and flee in all directions. The little guys kneeling on the ground were so scared that they peed their pants and were completely unable to get up and run away.

Tang Yue let these pigs escape, he just wanted to understand the situation and characteristics of this race. Books and rumors said that the pigs were of low intelligence, but judging from their actions such as covering their privacy, making weapons, and begging for mercy, their intelligence should not be low.

After a long while, Tiffany hurried back. An old Pig tribe member was brought close to her by her power.

Judging from the way the old man was dressed, he was obviously intelligent. He was dressed in linen, like a human farmer. He had a white goatee, a not very tall body, and a large pig's head. He had a slightly fat belly, and had human arms and five fingers, but a pair of pig's trotters.

At Tiffania's signal, he saluted Tang Yue skillfully and said, "Good afternoon, sir!"

Tang Yue looked at the old Pig in surprise and asked, "Do you know the common language of mankind?"

"To answer your question, sir, I learned from a wandering poet who came here. He lived in our Pig tribe for two years."

Tang Yue nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Are you Pigs really as mentally retarded as the rumors say?"

Old Pig shook his head quickly, "Sir, this is all a misunderstanding of us by other races. We Pigs are just simple and don't have so many tricks."

Tang Yue raised his lips slightly, "So, you are also a wise race."

"Of course!" Old Pig straightened his chest, "We Pigs also have our own culture and traditions."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Tang Yue immediately became interested.

A hint of pride flashed in the old Pig's eyes. "For example, our weapons are simple but unique. Our dances and music are not as gorgeous as those of other races, but they are also full of our Pig style."

Tang Yue smiled, thinking that this Pig tribe was quite interesting. He looked around and found that the Pig tribe members who had originally escaped were slowly surrounding him again, their eyes full of curiosity.

"It seems that they are not so afraid of us anymore." Tang Yue turned to Tiffany and said, "Let him go."

Tiffany nodded slightly and loosened the restraints on Old Pig. Old Pig stretched his body and saluted Tang Yue again.

"Thank you, sir. If you need anything, please let me know."

Tang Yue thought about it, took out some food and water from his space ring and piled them on the ground, then said to Old Pig, "These are my little token of appreciation."

Old Pig was so grateful that he kept thanking him after receiving the food.

"You guys go back first." Tang Yue waved his hand and continued forward with Tiffany and Minglong.

The voice of Old Pig came from behind, "Sir, please take care..."

Only when Tang Yue and his companions were no longer visible did the little fellow dare to run over and said to Old Pig, "Chief, what kind of creatures are they?"

"Are these the humans I told you about? That female one is an elf!"

"Elf?" The skinny Pig obviously didn't know who it was. The little guy with low IQ couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

The old Pig didn't explain any more and just looked at the direction where Tang Yue and the others were going. After a long while, he ordered all the Pigs to start carrying food and water.

The little Pig jumped up happily, completely forgetting that he had just been scared to death. His eyes sparkled. The food exuded an enticing aroma that he had never seen before...
