Chapter 630 The Nine Dragon-Slaying Heroes and the Necromancer
Under the two bright moons, even though Lei Xiao was smiling, what he revealed was a deep chill.
Although the other party looked harmless, Lei Xiao would not be fooled by the other party's appearance or words of defense.
You must know that the most important reason why necromancers have a bad reputation throughout the continent is that they are ruthless and cunning, and practice by killing innocent people.
This can be seen from the initial killing of the beetle in the woods of Kongqing Town, the killing of Baron in the Grand Duke's Mansion of Shanjing Principality, and the necromancer who cast a death curse on Benson before his death.
One or two.
What's more, this guy suddenly appeared not far from the territory, which undoubtedly posed a considerable threat to himself and his subordinates.
Looking at the chilling smile on Lei Xiao's face, a hint of fear appeared on the wheat-colored face of the female necromancer, and she quickly responded: "Back to the human race, my little girl's name is Lina. The reason why I came here is,
I am following my master’s orders and preparing myself to devote myself to cultivation here.”
"Follow your master's orders and devote yourself to cultivation?"
Staring into the other party's big frightened eyes, Lei Xiao remained expressionless and continued to ask: "So, you came here alone?"
"That's right, my little girl is alone and has no other companions!"
I saw the female necromancer, who was still lifted up by the tiger stick and suspended in mid-air, nodded heavily.
Just when Lei Xiao heard this, Hong Ye's clear voice came through his words: "I would like to report to the lord, the three subordinates have searched the secluded place inside and outside, and there is no trace of it."
Found traces of others."
"Very good, just wait in the dark."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Judging from the current situation, the necromancer who calls herself Lina does not seem to be a big threat, and her words do not sound like lies.
However, the most critical issue is still unresolved.
That is, it is impossible to summon such a large undead army just by relying on the opponent's third-level peak strength.
In addition, there is no clue as to why the other party took the initiative to destroy the undead army.
"Master Human Race, if you have any questions, please ask the Master Human Race. My little girl will definitely tell you everything you know!"
Directly opposite, seeing Lei Xiao not saying a word and always looking at him carefully, the necromancer who called himself Lina couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes. The panic on his face was even worse. His tearful eyes said: "Please also invite the human race
Sir, please don’t kill your little girl!”
"Good guy, how can you make me look like a bad guy when facing a notorious necromancer?"
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, and then said: "Tell me about what happened just now."
"Returning to the human race, sir, my daughter never expected that things would develop to such an extent."
I saw another complex expression of embarrassment and confusion on Lina's wheat-colored cheeks, and she responded: "The cave where the little girl was just now was the secluded place of the little female teacher. Originally, the little girl planned to follow the teacher's orders.
, I have devoted myself to practicing here, but something incredible happened."
"Unbelievable thing?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.
"To be honest with you, Sir, before my daughter left, the teacher taught her a total of three new spells. The first was to remove the clay warriors who were the outer guardians of the hermitage, and the second was to remove the guardians at the gate of the hermitage.
Shimen people, the third way is to activate the hidden protective measures in the secluded place."
Necromancer Lina blinked her long eyelashes, then frowned slightly and said: "However, when the little girl stepped into the seclusion and chanted a spell, preparing to first remove the defense of the outer guardian clay warriors, she did not receive any effect. According to the teacher,
As he said, those clay warriors should come out to greet the little girl..."
After hearing what the other party said, although Lei Xiao still looked scrutinizing on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little bit amused in his heart.
Needless to say, those third-level clay warriors with considerable strength had already been evaporated by Hong Ye's breath of dragon.
"Because before leaving, the teacher solemnly warned my daughter that the overall strength of the clay warriors here is much higher than that of my daughter, and the danger is very high. Therefore, seeing that the spells were fruitless, my daughter thought that she had put the three spells in the order
I misremembered, so I quickly chanted the second spell."
As she spoke, Necromancer Lina's expression became more and more puzzled, and she continued: "As a result, the second spell did not have any effect..."
Directly across from him, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, but still did not make a sound.
Naturally, the two stone knights guarding the door of the hermitage had already fallen to the one-shot kills of Tiger Stick and Red Night.
"Seeing that the second spell had no effect, the little girl's head short-circuited for a moment, and she recited the third spell without hesitation. As a result, she successfully activated the hidden defense method of the seclusion..."
At this point, Lina sighed softly, her eyebrows lowered and she said, "This is how we got into a big disaster."
"So, the summoned army of undead monsters turned out to be a hidden defense measure in the secluded place?"
After listening to the female necromancer's words, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
"Sir, that's exactly what it is."
Lina looked like she had done something wrong, lowered her head and said: "Originally, the teacher warned the little girl that this third spell can only be used in times of crisis, and with the little girl's strength, she can only do
It is impossible to completely eliminate these undead monsters without letting them run around freely."
"In this case, there is only one solution that I can think of, which is to reduce the number of undead as much as possible first. If you repeat this for a period of time, they will be completely eliminated."
Sighing again, Lina continued: "After all, for ordinary people, these monster corpses are too terrifying. Once an innocent person or small animal is injured or even dies, the little girl will feel guilty for the rest of her life."
"So that's the case. In this way, things can indeed be explained clearly."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao had a "face covering" expression in his heart, and said a little speechlessly: "Is this guy really a necromancer? People who don't know, think he is a holy light who saves lives and heals the wounded.
Where's the pastor?"
Immediately afterwards, another look of confusion and awe appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
According to this guy, his teacher's strength has obviously reached the fifth level.
Otherwise, it would never be possible to deploy such an exquisite hidden defense method.
For the safety of the territory and subordinates, it is best to investigate everything clearly.
"Japanese knotweed, let's put her down for now. We only need to suppress the flow of magic power in her body."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded towards the burly man in front of him.
"As you command, my lord."
The tiger stick bowed and accepted the order, then put the female necromancer who was picked up like a kitten back on the ground.
"Thank you, Lord Human."
After her feet landed on the ground again, the nervous expression on Lina's face was obviously relieved a lot, and she thanked Lei Xiao repeatedly.
However, due to her petite height, which was not even as high as the waist of the knotweed, she was still restrained by the squatting knotweed, which was a head taller than her, unable to move.
"Okay, tell me about your teacher."
Nodding to the young female necromancer in front of him, Lei Xiao still had a poker face and asked: "If I find out that you are lying, I will not rule out letting you become the true companion of those monster bones."
"My little girl doesn't dare. The teacher has taught me that if you tell a lie, you need countless lies to make up for it. Moreover, you will lose friends if you tell lies, even though the little girl doesn't have any friends yet."
I saw Lina looking confident, but also revealing a hint of loneliness.
After a pause, Lina spoke again: "My little girl's teacher, named Fleming Ken, is a great human necromancer! The teacher's wisdom can be compared to the deepest stars in the night sky, and the teacher's magic power is comparable to
The magic tide that appears from time to time is even more vast and boundless!"
"Flemingen?"
Hearing this familiar name, Ariel beside Lei Xiao couldn't help but asked with confusion on her face: "Isn't that one of the Nine Dragon-Slaying Heroes more than five hundred years ago?"
"That's true."
Orange Bai, who was holding the holy sword on the other hand, nodded slightly and said: "Moreover, it seems that there has never been a necromancer with the same name in the human countries."
"But, according to ancient books, legends and hymns, wasn't Fleming a great summoning warlock? How could he become a necromancer again?"
The doubts on Ariel's delicate cheeks were even worse, and she blurted out again.
"Perhaps, the legend is not what we imagined."
Randall gently stroked his O-shaped short beard and said thoughtfully: "When I was a rookie mercenary, I once heard an old veteran in the mercenary world mention that one of the nine heroes, Fu
Laming's true identity is indeed a necromancer."
"However, because the notorious Necromancer did not match the hero in people's minds, he was described in later documents as a Summoning Warlock."
When Randall said this, he shrugged slightly and said: "These are what the old mercenary said after drinking. No one believed his lies at the time, but now it seems that they are not groundless.
Unknown.”
"Did you slay a dragon? The teacher did tell you a thrilling story about how you and your companions slayed a dragon when you were young."
Lina's wheat-colored cheeks also showed a thoughtful expression as she said: "However, at that time, I was just a grass, so I can't remember it clearly."
"A small grass, what kind of strange adjective is this?"
Listening to the other party's somewhat vague statement, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then asked: "So, your teacher is still alive now?"
"Returning to the human race, that's exactly what it is."
Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Lina responded: "It is precisely because the teacher is planning to travel around again and can no longer teach the little girl that he lets the little girl come out to practice on her own."
"I understand, but the word great seems a little inappropriate when used on the notorious necromancer, right?"
Under the starry sky, Lei Xiao continued to look at the female necromancer in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, and said lightly.
"The teacher is indeed a great necromancer. Back then, he even saved my little girl's entire family."
A look of seriousness suddenly appeared on Lina's little face, and she said: "The human race adults may not know something, but within the Necromancer, there are actually two branches."
"The first branch is the common "human controllers". This group of necromancers specializes in attacking humans or humanoid races to achieve the purpose of strengthening their own cultivation and are good at controlling skeleton warriors."
"The second branch is the rare "Beast Controllers". What is completely different from the first branch is that these necromancers are good at controlling the corpses of monsters. When practicing, they will only target those who attack innocent people.
Brutal monsters will never harm innocent people!"
Having said this, Lina's wheat-colored cheeks showed a touch of pride again, and continued: "And the little girl's teacher, and the little girl herself, are the second branch!"
"There is actually such a difference."
Looking at the other person's proud face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and turned to look at the muscular priest who was standing respectfully.
As a dark healer, he is undoubtedly the one who knows the most forbidden magic among the team.
Noticing the questioning look Lei Xiao cast, Ye Cang understood, then stepped forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and whispered: "Lord, my subordinates have indeed heard that among the necromancers, there are very few who are good at manipulation.
There are special beings made of the bones of monsters, and the strongest among them can even freely control the bones of dragons to fly into the sky."
Having said this, Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued: "Furthermore, I also know a little bit about the cultivation methods of necromancers, which shows that what the other party said is true."
"I see."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then ordered to the Muscular Priest: "Ye Cang, let's go and verify her words to see if they are completely true."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added softly: "The other party may still be of use to us, we just need to understand it clearly, there is no need to make heavy moves."
"As you command, Lord."
Ye Cang bowed gracefully to Lei Xiao, a cold light reflected from the smooth lenses of his glasses, and slowly walked towards the necromancer's position.
At the same time, Ariel took a step forward and said to Lei Xiao in disbelief: "Lord, I didn't expect that Fleming, one of the nine dragon-slaying heroes who was active in the human nations more than five hundred years ago, is still alive.
"
After a pause, Ariel opened her lips slightly again and whispered to Lei Xiao: "Lord, if the matter is true, maybe this female necromancer can help us fight against the famous slaughterer from all the human nations in the future.
Maybe the dragon hero will meet."
"By then, maybe we will be able to get information about the half-elf Chiduo, who is also one of the nine heroes."
After finishing speaking, Ariel's fair face couldn't help but reveal a look of expectation.
"It makes some sense."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Needless to say, half-elf Chiduo comes from the half-elf tribe that was loyal to the Lengyan royal family back then.
Although due to the suspicion of several Lengyan kings, this half-elf tribe that had made great contributions to Lengyan was eventually expelled from the Lengyan Kingdom until they disappeared.
However, there are still a very small number of successors of the Lengyan royal family, trying to find these half-elves who followed the King of Heroes in the wars in the north and south, and restore their reputation. Among them, Ariel is included.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Under the bright moonlit night, Ye Cang had already completed his investigation and walked over with elegant steps.
