Gelmir said to the ghost floating above the coffin.
What he just cast was the third-level necromantic magic "Conversation with the Dead", which is also better known as "Necromanticism".
All dead souls awakened by this spell, whether they were enemies or friends in life, must listen to the caster's questions and answer his questions truthfully.
The dead cannot lie, and as Gelmel said, "sometimes they are more useful than the living."
"First of all, you have to tell me, what does the key to the Holy Ax Hall look like?" Gelmir asked the soul of King Olaf.
The ghost in the sky was silent for a few seconds, then slowly opened his mouth to answer, his voice cold, stiff, and intermittent.
"The key is...a piece of jade, in my hand."
"Lord Gelmir, that piece of jade has been stolen by Basaka!" General Schroeder couldn't help but interrupt.
Gelmir glanced at him coldly, signaled him not to interrupt with his eyes, and then asked the dead soul: "How to open the seal of the Holy Ax Hall with this piece of jade?"
"The jade itself is not important... what is important is the incantation carved on the jade..." the dead soul said quietly, "as long as the incantation is recited correctly and the blood of royal Olaf is added, the seal can be opened...
"
"This sounds very interesting." Gelmir smiled half-heartedly, "Since this jade was originally kept in your hands, I think you must still remember how to read the incantation engraved on it, right?"
"Yes, of course I remember..."
"Really? I don't believe it! Unless you read it to me face to face."
Under Gelmir's deliberate inducement, King Olaf's ghost actually recited the incantation to lift the seal of the Holy Ax Hall.
Gao Fei watched this scene from God's perspective, and felt chilled in his heart.
The incantation recited by the dead soul was accurate to every syllable, and Gelmir could hear everything clearly, so he successfully deceived the unblocking incantation with such ease.
Gao Fei sighed with mixed emotions. He had to admit that this world is very cruel to the kitchen knife profession. No matter how fierce it is in the early stage, it will inevitably be crushed by the spellcasting profession in the second half.
He went through life and death, fought bloody battles, and almost lost his life before he could get the jade. Gelmir solved the problem with a simple spell. The gap was really huge!
In this game world, if you have strong magic power, you can do whatever you want!
Gao Fei was deeply shocked and then came up with an idea.
In fact, whether in the game world or in reality, the kitchen knife profession such as the berserker is generally dominant in the early stage. However, as the level increases, the huge growth potential of the spell caster becomes apparent, gradually replacing the status of the kitchen knife profession.
Gao Fei doesn't want to get worse day by day and end up being reduced to being a tool for his caster teammates. If he wants to change his destiny, he has to consider changing to a track that can go further.
After completing the long module "Prince's Revenge", Gao Fei no longer wants to play the pure chopper profession. He can consider giving priority to the warlock, mage, priest or druid modules that can obtain 9-level magic.
Based on your own experience and the help of your teammates, as long as you manage to get through the most difficult early stage of the game, the later stages and the higher the level, the more advantages the spellcasting profession will have.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Gao Fei continued to watch the progress of the plot in the tomb chamber.
Gelmir wrote down the unsealing spell and nodded with satisfaction. He first canceled the "necromantic spell" and allowed Karl Olaf's soul to return to the corpse, and then applied the 6-level necromantic magic "Awakening the Undead" to the corpse.
, transforming the corpse in the coffin into a "resurrected corpse".
Different from low-level undead creatures such as "zombie", "resurrected zombie", as its name suggests, can retain part of its memory, professional abilities and spell-casting abilities. In addition, it can also obtain a variety of advanced undead talents, and its comprehensive strength can even exceed
while alive.
Gelmir not only cast a spell to transform King Olaf's body into a "resurrected corpse", but also implanted a command deep into his soul:
"Karl Olaf, I order you to hunt down Basaka Olaf, cut off his head with your own hands, and bring it back to me so that I can use his blood to open the seal of the Holy Axe."
"As you command, my master!"
The resurrected corpse stood up from the coffin, bowed deeply to Gelmir, and made a hoarse voice.
General Schroeder seemed reluctant to be upstaged by this living dead, and whispered to his boss: "Master Gelmir, this skeleton is so tattered that it is difficult to even walk. He is really capable of killing Basaka."
·Olav?”
"Don't underestimate this resurrected corpse, Schroeder. He has retained most of his strength and combat experience. He just lacks a handy weapon."
Gelmir used "Mage's Hand" to pick up a battle ax equipped by a skeletal minotaur from the ground, and cast a 1-level spell "Demonized Weapon" on the battle ax to temporarily upgrade this refined weapon.
Give the magic weapon of 4 to the resurrected corpse.
Then, Gelmir used "Calling the Dead" again, gathering the shattered bones in the tomb, regenerating six tall and mighty skeleton minotaurs, and ordered them to follow the resurrected corpse of King Olaf and pursue them.
Kill Barthaka Olaf and his party.
The resurrected corpse led the skeleton minotaurs out of the tomb and followed the tomb passage where Gao Fei and others escaped.
Gao Fei wanted to continue to spy on the next actions of Gelmir and General Schroeder, but the cutscene ended here and the perspective switched back to the stone room where he and his companions lived. The system prompted them that they had finished their short rest and it was time.
Continue on the road.
Gao Fei was not in a hurry to set off. He first opened the Astrolabe Monster Manual and looked at King Olaf who had come back from the dead.
