Chapter 42 Necromancer (Part 1)
Inotia's apprentice wizard's answer reminded Xiao Yu of the childhood of the big villains in the novels and animations he read in his childhood.
After thinking over and over again, Xiao Yu agreed to Inotia's request and decided to give him a chance!
But before that, a tap is a must!
Although Xiao Yu is only a high school student, he is not a virgin boy.
Xiao Yu took off the camera on his shoulder, operated it a bit, and put the screen in front of Inotia's eyes.
With the familiar voice coming from the camera, looking at the familiar figure on the screen...
Immediately, Inotia's face became stiff.
"Your Highness, is this a high-level witchcraft and strange object imager?" Inotia was shocked when she saw the loyal appearance of herself inside: "A strange object without mana fluctuations...even formal wizards can't detect it. It was quietly photographed!"
Soon, Inotia saw a clip of himself declaring that he wanted to become a big shot in the video.
For a moment, Inotia, who was still not as cheeky as Xiao Yu, turned her head and looked away in embarrassment.
Xiao Yu took back the camera and put it on his shoulder.
Then he looked at Inotia: "After watching your video, you should know that there is no turning back."
"Yes, Your Highness." Inotia bowed slightly and nodded: "I have always been worried that I would not be able to gain His Highness's trust. Now that I have a photo in His Highness's hands, I am relieved, knowing that His Highness is really willing to give me a chance."
Inotia replied very sincerely. With this handle in Xiao Yu's hands, it can be said that he will not be able to wash off the mark of Xiao Yu as a giant in his life.
"You are not disgusted?"
Xiao Yu originally wanted to ask this question but felt that it was inappropriate. There is no need to ask many questions directly, and the attitude of the other party has already given the answer.
So, Xiao Yu changed his words and said:
"Then, Inotia, my temporary mentor, I wish you can really become a big shot in this world in the future!"
"Your Highness, I have always believed in this."
After deciding to believe in Inotia, Xiao Yu took out all the trophies he snatched from the Queco family from his portable space.
With the help of Inotia, these things were finally classified systematically, and Xiao Yu learned more about them.
It turned out that the black smoke pot was a magical object of witchcraft, and it could only be used by an apprentice wizard who had at least activated the source of mana.
However, it is different from the rumor at the beginning that witchcraft wonders require the lifespan of wizard apprentices at the cost of it. Under Inotia's explanation, Xiao Yu learned that such rumors come from a reason!
poverty!
Witchcraft wonders are tools created by wizards to imitate world wonders for wizards to use. How can such a precious condition such as lifespan really be wasted at the price?
To activate witchcraft and wonders, magic stones can generally be used to replace the missing mana.
Only those aristocratic families who, in the eyes of the wizards, are poor and have few magic stones, will use the lives of wizard apprentices to reduce the consumption of magic stones.
"That is to say, as long as I get started and have magic stones, can I use the witchcraft wonders?" Xiao Yu asked after knowing this.
"Yes." Inotia nodded: "As a matter of fact, as long as you get started, you can use some simplified witchcraft in addition to strange objects if you have magic stones."
"Oh?" Xiao Yu recalled the griffins controlled by Inotia at the beginning, and said in his heart: "By the way, can I also perform the witchcraft that you used to control those griffins?"
"Your Highness, it uses a simplified version of witchcraft and wonders - Confusion Runes, relying on the Confusion Runes refined by using magic circles to control their behavior. It has little effect on highly intelligent creatures. My lord asked this Is there a monster in my heart that I want to control?"
"Monsters generally have high spell resistance, and the confusion rune refined at the level of my wizard apprentice is very likely to fail!"
"Huh? It's a rune? It's just a prop!" Xiao Yu whispered, "I can use it after you refine it, right?"
"Yes, you can use it as long as you succeed in getting started." Inotia nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, my tutor, let's continue the class. In addition to getting started, let's learn about the confusion runes first."
"As you wish, Your Highness."
…………
While Xiao Yu was eagerly absorbing the knowledge of wizards in the Lilliputian Kingdom, the scouts sent by General Babu also found clues and came to a remote mountain village.
"The traces left near the metal puppet have been found in several other places, and there is no trace of the magic stone." The scout captain held the horse rope tightly and said in a low voice:
"As long as this clue is not broken, the magic stone is probably here."
"Captain, why don't we go over and search for the magic stone immediately?" A young cavalryman eager to make a contribution next to the scout captain asked excitedly.
"Who dares to steal the magic stone from under our noses, how can it be easy to deal with?" The scout captain chuckled and said: "It is a great achievement for us to find the traces, and there is no need to compete with those guards for credit."
"And this credit may not be easy to snatch."
The captain of the scout suddenly shut up while speaking, but it was a group of general guards who had been notified from the mountain village and came over.
Although these guard cavalrymen were not extraordinary knights, they were all vigorous and strong men, riding the best horses in the wilderness, and holding the sharpest spears and short swords in the melting iron castle.
And the armor on them is exactly the same as those on the barbarian warriors. It is a delicious full-body armor transformed from the magical metal bestowed by the great protector of the kingdom!
Boo!
As they approached the mountain village, the war horses sneezed in unison, and immediately sped up at the request of their master, and ran into the seemingly undefended small mountain village.
"Strange! Such a strong smell of blood!"
"People have just died here, and many, many people have died!"
How experienced are the guard cavalry, as soon as they stepped into the mountain village, they all gasped and felt the biting cold in the air!
"Be careful! Don't separate, go and check the wells in the square first!" The guard cavalry gathered together, and stabbed their spears in all directions.
"Hey, they are all elite!" A hoarse voice suddenly came from the mountain village.
Then, as a cloud of black air emerged from the well, dozens of zombies with most of their bodies rotting crawled out of the wooden house.
At the same time, a three-meter-tall rotting grizzly bear and several zombie wolves rushed out of the woods outside the mountain village.
"Damn it!"
"It's a necromancer!"
The guard cavalry all changed their colors.
The scouts watching from a distance also turned their horses and started running immediately!
The magic stone was finally obtained by the hidden necromancer!
My God, this is amazing news!
Big event!
Over the past few hundred years in the Steel City Kingdom, which time has a necromancer appeared, and it was not because of the misery of the people, the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood?
The scouts ran, but the terrible memories of their parents about the necromancers kept lingering in their minds.
Let them speed up their horses crazily, and even break their whips!
They can't wait to fly back to the camp as soon as possible, and inform the protector of the kingdom about this amazing event.
Perhaps vaguely, they subconsciously believed that Xiao Yu, the son of God, could save the kingdom from the catastrophe brought about by the necromancer...
