Chapter 518 The Basics of Necromancy
Eh?
That’s not right!
Fang Heng suddenly thought of something and his eyelids twitched.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Dickey. He was imparting skills to a player outside of the game!
Could it be that Dickey was also a demi-human tribe?!
Dickey looked at Fang Heng calmly.
“If it’s a mission in the game, I can help you find a reliable necromancer. He will help you complete the summoning of the soul. Of course, all of this will be paid for, including the casting materials. If It’s all inclusive, I think 4,000 King of Gods’points would be a reasonable price.”
“Our Necromancer Association will be the judge. If the mission fails, all King of Gods’ points will be returned.”
Fang Heng was worried as he listened.
4,000 King of Gods’ points was indeed very expensive.
But if it was possible, he also wanted it to be simpler and spend some money to settle it all.
Unfortunately, in the King of Gods’ game, it was extremely difficult to invade the low-tier from the high-tier.
This was not something that could be solved by simply spending 4,000 King of Gods’ points.
Finding someone to help wasn’t possible.
He could only rely on himself.
“I’m in an elementary game.”
Hearing this, Dickey was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anyone to help you.”
“What if I do it myself? What if I personally learn necromancy and learn the soul summoning skill?”
Dickey didn’t answer. He turned to look at Mo Yunxiao.
Mo Yunxiao nodded at Dickey. “I can be Fang Heng’s sponsor and recommend him to join the Necromancer Association.”
“Of course.” Dickey thought for a moment and said, “After joining the Necromancer Association, we are willing to teach you the most basic necromancy. An entry-level basic subject will cost 2,000 King of Gods’ points.”
Learn!
Fang Heng gritted his teeth.
It was better to learn more skills.
In an elementary game, no one else could be relied on, so he could only rely on himself!
After completing the main storyline ending of District 7, he would be able to earn another round of King of Gods’ points.
This 2,000 points would be his initial investment!
“Alright, I’m willing to learn.”
“You have considered it carefully? Young scholar, learning necromancy will take a long time.”
Long time?
Fang Heng stared into Dickey’s eyes.
Perhaps for others.
But for him, he had a large number of zombie clones. When the time came, he would just farm experience points along the way!
“Yes, I’m willing to learn.”
Dickey stood up and walked to Fang Heng. He stretched out a dry finger and gently tapped Fang Heng’s forehead.
“May you have eternal peace, young man.” (Hint: You have spent 2,000 points to learn basic necromancy from Dickey (Level 1).]
Skill: Basic necromancy.
Skill description: Initial skills of necromancy. Through this skill, you can use some of the tools related to necromancy to learn related necromancy skills.
Skill description: This skill can be upgraded to Level 10 at most.
Dickey put down his finger.
“Please follow me, young scholar. I will teach you the most basic of skills.”
Dickey personally led the two of them back to the hall of the dead.
He walked to the counter and personally helped Fang Heng register the records. Then, he took out a Book of the Dead from the counter and handed it to Fang Heng.
“The Book of the Dead is a basic tool for learning necromancy. If the Book of the Dead is accidentally damaged, you can use King of Gods’ points to purchase it at the counter. A Book of the Dead only costs 30 King of Gods’ points. It’s very cheap.”
Fang Heng took the book from Dickey.
A line of game hints appeared in his vision.
(Hint: You have obtained an item-Book of the Dead (Level o).]
Item: Book of the Dead (Level o).
Current experience points: 0.00%
Current maximum soul capacity of the Book of the Dead: 0/100.
Description: Write your name on the title page and become a follower of the dead. You can become the owner of the Book of the Dead.
Description: The Book of the Dead is a tool needed to cast most undead spells, and it is also a container for storing souls.
Description: The Book of the Dead can be upgraded by devouring souls, the upgrade can increase the maximum number of souls stored, slightly increase the success rate of undead spells, slightly increase the speed of devouring souls, and the success rate of sealing souls.
Description: The Book of the Dead cannot be used by others after binding.
After receiving the book, Dickey left the hall of the dead with the two of them, accompanied by the attendant.
Following another long pathway in the passage, the four of them went down the stairs until they arrived at the second basement.
In an empty room.
Just as he stepped into the room, Fang Heng instantly felt a cold aura assaulting him.
Dickey extinguished the candle flame on the candlestick, picked up a new candle from the counter beside the room’s entrance, and lit it.
“Puff.”
The blue flame flickered.
The burning soul flame illuminated the surroundings.
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched slightly.
Under the illumination of the blue soul flame, he saw that the room was filled with wandering souls.
“I call this place the wailing room.”
Dickey’s tone carried a hint of self-satisfaction, “After the Necromancer Association spent several decades collecting souls, many of the association’s members would use the wailing room to train in necromancy, raising the level of their skills and the abilities of the Book of the Dead.”
“There’s no need to worry. These souls were obtained through official channels, and they were all authorized by the Federation.”
Fang Heng frowned. “Then what should I
do?”
“Yes, pay attention. The red souls are angry souls, while the blue souls are relatively quiet. The white souls represent that their abilities have become weaker and weaker, and the fainter the color, the more likely they are to disappear.”
Dickey casually pointed at the souls floating in the air and continued to explain, “Simply put, the darker the color, the higher the strength of the souls. At the same time, the Book of the Dead will receive more nourishment after absorbing them.”
“The Book of the Dead acts as a container. It can temporarily absorb souls, and it can also devour and digest the absorbed souls.”
“After the digestion is complete, the experience points of the Book of the Dead will be increased, and your elementary necromancy experience points will also be slightly increased.”
“To you, both the improvement of the Book of the Dead and the improvement of your own body are extremely important.”
“So what you need to do is try to integrate these souls into the Book of the Dead and complete the devouring process.”
Fang Heng finally understood the gist of it.
He tried to open the newly obtained Book of the Dead in his hand.
The Book of the Dead was completely blank.
Fang Heng turned to look at Dickey. “Is it very difficult?”
“Difficult?” Dickey shook his head repeatedly. “Not at all. It’s not difficult at the beginning. Souls whose will is already so weak that they are on the verge of dissipating are often easily attracted to the Book of the Dead.” “But as the strength of the soul body increases, they will become more and more disobedient. Necromancers often need to spend a lot of time to collect a relatively high-level soul.”
“As I said before, learning necromancy is a very boring process. In most cases, it requires a lot of time to practice.”
