Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

"It seems that I am really old. Only old people are sentimental and always like to tell others about their past." Old John stood up holding the skeleton's hand, and walked towards the valley where he built the altar again, "I don't It should always be denied, shouldn't it? Besides, some other people should know, once, what happened to us."

Suddenly he stopped, turned slightly and looked at Zhou Lingke, "Laugh and despise my madness, but I am not the culprit. Those who think they are in control of everything must bear at least half of the responsibility. Actually... I originally I just want to be an old pedant who has been buried in the pile of books all his life."

Zhou Lingke stood there looking at Old John's back, suddenly he didn't know what to say, until he was patted on the shoulder.

"!" Zhou Lingke was startled, and turned around to see Xia En.

"What's wrong? I've been standing there in a daze."

"How long have you been here?"

"I came when the guards and John were fleeing."

"Don't say anything." Zhou Lingke frowned, and he didn't find out after coming here for a long time.

Xia En shrugged: "You were too focused and didn't notice it. Don't change the subject. The story just now made you think differently?"

"It's not the story just now, it's the last few words of Old John when he left." Zhou Lingke frowned even tighter. "On the one hand, I disagree. After all, how the road goes is up to you. But On the other hand... I was thinking if you were gone, but I knew there was still a glimmer of hope to find you, what should I do? Do I keep looking for that glimmer of hope, longing for a miracle to happen one day? Will it be unknowingly, it will be on the crooked..."

"Snapped!"

"Don't think about it." Xia En, who had just slapped Zhou Lingke, said seriously, "If you really do that, even if a miracle happens, after I see you, I will kill you first and then commit suicide. Me and You, you are just two mortals. If you really have such a big battle, it is just for you to seek self-comfort. For me, if so many lives are really involved, it is just because of the sentence "You Love me', I really can't bear it. What's more, John is sad when the guard is gone. You are sad when I am gone. Unless life is too failure, whoever is gone will be sad for him, why bother? Do unto others, do not impose on others."

"But what if you are really gone?" Just now, when Old John was being stubborn, Zhou Lingke also started to dig into the horns.

Xia En sighed, hooked Zhou Lingke's neck with his hand, and held him in his arms: "How old are you? You won't find another one if I'm gone?"

"Why do you..." Zhou Lingke, who was hugging him well, immediately became anxious when he heard Xia En say this, but just as he raised his head, Xia En pushed him back again.

"I said something wrong. If you don't find one, then if it's too uncomfortable to be alone, come to me. In the next life, we will be brothers."

"I don't want to have incest with you, I'm still a neighbor, childhood sweetheart."

The two talked nonsense for a while, and when their stomachs growled, they realized that it was already noon.However, even Old John, who left, didn't remind them to make breakfast...

On the second day after the conversation, Zhou Lingke was finally able to summon a skeleton soldier. No, what he summoned was lower than a skeleton soldier, a skeleton cow.Old John thought it was fresh and ran over to see that magicians majoring in necromancy in this world are generally divided into two different routes of development, plague and summoning.

Many necromancers who take the route of plague are very popular with all countries.Because these mages are not only proficient in spreading diseases, they are more proficient in healing and control.In addition, the necromancers themselves know more about bones and internal organs than some professional doctors, so these necromancers are also called undead saints, or death priests.

The necromancer of the summoning route, as the name suggests, calls for help from the plane of the undead through exchange.However, this helper of the necromancer is different from other summoning magicians. He must sacrifice bones or corpses, destroying the rest of the dead and destroying corpses. This is also an extremely immoral thing in this world.Compared with the former, the reputation of the necromancer who specializes in this department is much worse.In order to obtain stronger power and more summons, these mages generally cooperate with those big countries-the dead prisoners of their own country and the corpses of enemy soldiers are the materials of these mages. They are called undead summoners, or serve the dead.

The two branches plus the masters of dual practice, all the people who learn necromancy add up, and they are collectively called necromancers.In any case, summoning skeleton soldiers is the most basic spell, even the mages of the plague branch can do it.And it is very useful, because it can drive skeletons into some hard-hit areas that living people cannot enter, or directly let skeletons bring the epidemic into hostile countries.

but!Unless some special restrictions are made when summoning, the skeleton soldiers summoned will be human bones, otherwise they will not be "soldiers".

When it comes to Zhou Lingke, the absolute is not so absolute.He chanted a spell on a bone that John had removed from his control. What rose up was not a bone, but the ground on the side cracked, and a cow from this world came out.This kind of cow is five meters long and two meters tall. It has long hair on its body, but it has scales from the back of its head to the tailbone. Its tail is the same as that of a lizard, but its head is like a rhinoceros. There are two horns on its nose , and there is one in the middle of the forehead.

This kind of cattle looks much more ferocious than the earth's cattle, but in fact it is docile and friendly, and it is one of the most important livestock in this world.Zhou Lingke summoned such a skeleton of a cow. It was indeed taller and mightier than the skeleton soldier, but in this case, whether his spell succeeded or failed, Old John couldn't tell.

Even Zhou Lingke canceled the call of the cow, and if he called again, it was still the cow that got up.Old John restrained the bones of the cow, Zhou Lingke continued, the cow couldn't get up, and the bone of a peach cat and rabbit clicked over the soil and jumped out.

"It seems..." Old John's expression is definitely holding back a smile, "It seems that you are likely to create another branch of the necromancer, the animal bone summoner."

"..." Just laugh, Zhou Lingke didn't take the old man's ridicule seriously, but what made him a little depressed was why Xia En was laughing too?

On the fourth day of the conversation, Zhou Lingke and Xia En, who were preparing breakfast, were startled by an explosion. They ran out of the dining car and saw the smoke and dust rising from the explosion.After that, the voice never subsided, and even approached their direction bit by bit...

That same day, Old John came to see them.

"The altar is almost ready, and it can be activated the day after tomorrow." Old John handed Zhou Lingke a map, "Originally, that should be the time when you leave, because in the next half month, I don't need to eat anymore. .It was my intention to let you go at this point, but apparently, even I overestimate myself sometimes."

Should he be said to have excessive self-esteem, or excessive arrogance?

But at this time, Zhou Lingke and Xia En didn't want to say anything more. They were looking at the map, which marked a route in an inaccurate way.

"Mangtan's geographical location is not very good, but it is the most realistic country. As long as you can work, you will have a way to survive."

Saying so-and-so is very realistic, generally speaking, it is a derogatory term. Although it is translated, in the language of this world, what John said and their world should also be commonly used derogatory terms.But here, it is a compliment.

Zhou Lingke and Xia En are two, one is an apprentice of a necromancer... and the other is a demihuman.Different countries have different views on them. In terms of their personalities, whether they are respected or despised, it is not a good place to go.A realistic place is also a pragmatic place, no one cares about the imaginary, such as your identity, or what you look like.

"Thank you..." Zhou Lingke put away the map, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Teacher."

Although Old John's original intentions were not very good, and he was an anti-human murderer, but during the less than half a month of getting along with him, Old John should be considered good to him and Sean.He didn't hurt them, but gave them a lot of benefits.Even if he still doesn't agree with Old John's actions, as a beneficiary, Zhou Lingke now thinks that he must call this teacher.

"Don't thank me too early, you won't be able to leave now. In the best case, my sacrifice is successful, and you will be able to leave by then. If it doesn't work, then..." John spread his hands, which meant that he didn't say anything Metaphor.

On the seventh day, two headless horsemen led the two of them towards the valley, because the battle was getting closer and closer.
