This thing was once very popular in White Rock City, and it was used by necromancers as a marker to classify, mark, and arrange the undead.
This can reduce the mental loss of the Necromancer when arranging troops.
In addition to spell identification, some nameplates also come with some secret words, which can only be deciphered by necromancers who have mastered White Rock City's unique interpretation method.
This can also be regarded as an Easter egg or trap left by the lonely necromancer for his kind when he was wandering outside.
Matthew took off the nameplate and tried to decipher it. Soon, a line of shining fonts appeared in front of him——
…
"If I hadn't become a necromancer, would things have been different?"
…
Matthew frowned and said an incoherent sentence, which only vaguely revealed his regret after becoming a necromancer.
But at the same time, he also became a little curious about the owner of the nameplate.
"He may also be from White Rock City, but necromancers usually don't like the hot and humid weather, which will make the undead that are already difficult to keep clean even more difficult to handle. Why is he here?"
Matthew's gaze went deep into the swamp.
At this time, Lao Jitou, who had been wandering around the giant anaconda in the forest for several times, also came over:
"This snake came from the depths of the Bitter Swamp. It should have swallowed more than one zombie along the way, otherwise it would not have moved so slowly."
"This is not good news."
Hearing this, Luo Lan, who quietly returned to the team at some point, interrupted: "Why? Isn't this a good thing? Even if it can show off its power in the depths of the swamp, doesn't it mean that the swamp is already very safe?"
Lao Jitou glanced at him:
"It could also be a fluke, and the traces of its journey are very obvious. Maybe something terrible will be attracted by it."
Lorraine's eyes widened.
Before he could continue to speak, Lao Jitou suddenly asked: "Where were you just now? Didn't you say you wanted to fight alongside Matthew?"
Lorraine looked at him innocently: "Please, I can help too! You don't really want me to fight the monster hand-to-hand, do you? It's degrading. And I think it's very dangerous for an old man like you to be chased by such a big snake.
, so I wanted to support you, but you ran too fast and I didn’t catch up."
Lao Jitou smiled and said nothing more.
Matthew's gaze was cast further away, where, on the road where the forest giant anaconda crawled, seven or eight zombies were wandering over. Among them, one of the zombies accidentally stepped on the air, and his lower body was deeply injured.
The ground sank into the mud pit of the swamp. It struggled violently and soon sank deeper and deeper.
Matthew saw that they all had nameplates hanging on their necks, so he wanted to take action.
But this time Lao Ji Tou moved faster.
Still using the short knife used to chop down trees, he stepped forward and slashed at the zombie's neck with a sharp move.
Puff puff!
Lao Jitou's steps were steady and his sword skills were skillful. He chopped down the zombies to the ground almost one by one.
Although the undead's combat power will be greatly reduced after losing its master, Old Ji Tou's smooth processing can make Matthew take a high look.
He had never had the opportunity to see this guide take action head-on before, so he was always unsure about Lao Ji Tou's strength. After this round, Matthew initially judged that he was at least a third-level ranger or ranger, and should still be able to master it.
acquired the skills of some indigenous occupations.
This is very rare.
You know, this rainforest does not welcome northern druids, rangers and other professions.
If Lao Jitou can blend in like a fish in water, there must be something special about him.
After killing the zombies, he did not keep the nameplates as his own, but handed them all to Matthew:
"If you are useful, take them all, but remember, it is best not to show your identity as a necromancer in front of the Jango people deep in the rainforest. They may not do anything to you, but they will definitely hold a grudge.
. Those on the periphery like the Yuka tribe are better off, because they did not participate in the war to encircle and suppress the Necromancer."
Matthew nodded and thanked Lao Jitou, then took out a rag and wiped the nameplates clean, reading them one by one.
…
"If you ask me, zombies are much cuter than humans. They just want to take a small bite of you, and a small bite will satisfy you;
As for humans, if humans bite you, that bite is just the beginning."
…
"Those natives are really annoying, why don't you just take a nest of their young feathered serpents?
Beating gongs and drums every day is so annoying!
I have to give them a little warning, but I can't ruin the reputation of the Necromancer too much. Well, just use the corpses of their compatriots to make a Stitch Monster!
No, two!"
…
"A surprising discovery - if you terminate the relationship with an undead creature that has been contracted, it will take 72 hours before you can re-sign the contract with him!
This is truly an unprecedented discovery!
What is the significance of these 72 hours? Is it a cooling-off period after a breakup?
Haha, but the genius in me discovered the latest use of this rule!
Most of the undead creatures that can be contracted by us are spiritual, and they will take the initiative to ask for soul crystals, and we usually pay monthly.
Based on this, we only need to terminate the relationship when the monthly salary is paid, then lock it up for 72 hours to prevent it from getting lost or being abducted, and then re-sign the contract - according to my observation, most undead creatures are re-signing
After signing the contract, the previous salary arrears will be forgotten.
The undead who don’t need wages are so cute!
According to this method, you can promise an unlimited number of soul crystals. It's just a picture anyway, so why not make it bigger?
I'm such a genius! Praise me! Praise me!
Hey, even if you praise me, I won’t hear you.”
…
"I'm an idiot."
…
"Ferog doesn't want to talk to me at all.
I'm such a fool."
…
"I'm leaving. The legend of Quetzalcoatl is indeed false. I'm so stupid. After the promotion of Tianlun Palace, how can there be true gods in the world? I want to squeeze some divinity from them, so I might as well go outside.
Looking for evil spirits on the plane!
Maybe I can try to become a god myself, but if I become a god now, will I also be exiled by the laws left by the natural disaster mage?
Hey, it would be great if I were a relative of the natural disaster mage."
…
"I left some interesting things in the swamp. If you are with me, you can go get them, but I can't guarantee that you won't die.
——The eternal undead girl, Dania."
…
After reading it, Matthew had a playful expression on his face.
It seems that the suspected legendary necromancer deep in the swamp is a woman. Some previous clues made Matthew think of Ursul, but Ursul has long been dead.
This Dania should be another powerful necromancer.
The tone of the secret message she left on the nameplate was cheerful and seemed inconsistent with the dull image of the Necromancer, but Matthew knew that this was the norm.
Precisely because I am usually boring, I let myself go in this kind of drift bottle that is similar to that left for my colleagues.
He was somewhat interested in what Danya left behind, but he still had to deal with the angry Rainforest Soul first.
Matthew put away the nameplate, then found the body of the black-backed jackal and began to summon zombies.
There is no point in leaving at this time. No matter where they go, they will be attacked by the strongest beasts recruited by the Soul of the Rainforest.
In this case, when it comes to defensive counterattack, Matthew will definitely choose stronger zombies instead of skeletons.
The moonlight shines, and the chanting continues.
Under the strange gazes of Lao Jitou and Luo Lan, "Silver Moon, Black Back, Jackal, and Zombie" stood up one after another.
The tree skin magic and sacred moon armor on them look so dazzling.
However, neither Lao Jitou nor Luo Lan asked.
They just accompanied Matthew silently, waiting for the next wave of beasts to attack.
The night passed quickly.
The expected comprehensive encirclement and suppression did not come. Matthew only encountered a few sporadic attacks, which did not require his action. A Bing could resolve them alone.
morning.
The rainforest gradually became cloudy.
A dull sound of thunder came from the sky, as if tens of millions of people were beating drums in the clouds.
The atmosphere on the ground became increasingly oppressive.
Matthew knew that this was the spirit of the rainforest exerting pressure on himself by controlling the environment.
The real offensive is yet to come.
It wants to bow its head through various demonstrations.
It's a pity that Matthew has figured out the temper of the rain forest by now.
It is impossible to bow your head.
The only solution for now is to fight to the end and call the soul of the rainforest Daddy!
By the afternoon.
More and more beasts are gathering around the highlands.
Most of the beasts are still watching.
But there were also a few who couldn't hold their temper and had conflicts with Matthew.
After several rounds of fierce fighting.
The beasts suffered heavy losses, but Matthew became more courageous as he fought - he was new to the rainforest and already lacked materials. With the support of his good brothers, he would naturally have an endless supply of undead under his command!
He is now very skilled at summoning zombies and skeletons, and his mana consumption has dropped to a very low level.
Ever since.
Throughout the afternoon, the singing in the highlands never stopped.
At dusk.
Looking at the densely packed undead figures on the edge of the highland.
The wild beasts around them all stopped.
…
"Tip: You used the Undead Summoning Technique to summon a Silver Moon Zombie Tiger!
Current cumulative number of zombies: 56/Number of skeletons: 22"
…
Matthew is actually not very satisfied with this number. He still has mana and negative energy left and can summon more.
But the beasts that live in the rainforest all year round are not fools.
After seeing that the pioneers had become the puppets of the Necromancer, these tigers, leopards, crocodiles and snakes did not dare to get close.
However, they did not go far, but lurked nearby, seeming to be waiting for an opportunity.
Matthew is also very calm.
He would seize every break between the beasts' attacks and take a good rest.
For example, now.
Crackling!
A bonfire in the center of the highland was smoking.
The climate in the rainforest is humid, and this is the scene of wet firewood burning.
Originally, Lao Jitou didn't allow them to light a fire in the forest, saying that doing so would attract real beasts of prey, but it obviously didn't matter now.
Looking at the densely packed undead around them, the two of them also had a clear understanding of Matthew's strength.
"So, if I want to deal with a necromancer like you, I have to kill you all at once? If I just send people to encircle and suppress me, will I be giving you a boost instead?"
Next to the fire, Lorraine was holding his booklet. He sometimes glanced at it, and sometimes chatted with Matthew.
Matthew nodded:
"As long as the threshold is not exceeded, the thing that the Necromancer is not afraid of the most is the human sea tactic. The more powerful the Necromancer is, the more so."
"I have written down your words and will write them directly into the work in the future. Well, Matthew the Brave said - Necromancers are fearless!"
Lorraine replied casually.
Matthew looked at the still lazy look of his great enemy, and couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity in his heart.
This day comes to an end.
Matthew also saw Lorraine fighting wild beasts.
To Matthew's expectation, the poet was not only good at playing the flute.
His close combat skills are also quite impressive.
In the afternoon, Matthew saw with his own eyes that he knocked down a tiger with his bare hands!
The poet showed a calm temperament when he was attacked by ferocious beasts. Even if he faced a siege, he could quickly find a breakthrough and distance himself to protect himself.
The only thing that puzzled Matthew was...
Lorraine has never used a melee weapon from beginning to end—to be exact, he has never used any other weapon except the light green flute!
This also resulted in him not killing even a single beast with his own hands.
At best, it would only be a serious injury.
"This can't be caused by some bard spirit, right?"
Matthew complained in his heart.
In addition, he also noticed that Luo Lan loved to read the pamphlet, and he would concentrate on it every time he read it.
But according to Matthew's observation, the book was very thin, and it looked like it only had a dozen pages. Lorraan had been reading it non-stop in the past few days. Even if he read it slowly, he should have finished it, right?
But he didn't.
He is still watching it now.
Matthew became more and more curious.
So he took advantage of the moment when the beasts were quiet and asked:
"Loran, I have two questions to ask you. Well, if it's about privacy and you don't want to answer, just pretend I didn't ask."
Luo Lan became interested instantly:
"Oh? Matthew, after pretending to be cold for so many days, are you finally willing to admit that you are interested in me?"
Matthew hasn't said anything yet.
Next to him, there was a cough from Lao Jitou.
The two of them looked at each other. Lao Jitou stood up and said:
"I'll go to the side and you guys can chat."
Even so, he didn't walk far, and turned sideways towards the two of them, his ears slightly perked up.
Matthew smiled:
"I'm very curious. You clearly had several opportunities to kill the beast in the afternoon, but you didn't do it. Why?"
"And that booklet in your hand. What interesting things are there in it that attract you so much?"
Lorraine thought for a while:
"These are indeed my two secrets, but if Matthew opens his mouth, it is not impossible to tell you."
"But secrets between friends should be exchanged with each other. I will ask you two questions later, and you must answer them truthfully."
Don't wait for Matthew to agree.
Luo Lan was a little embarrassed and said:
"The reason why I don't kill is not because I have mercy on others, but because I have a slight hemorrhage.
It's not that serious, but it also affects my concentration and thinking.
When I saw the Plaguebringer's head in Zeshui City before, I was completely confused.
To be honest, the sight of blood only made me less focused.
But if I killed a beast with my own hands and saw the blood splattering, I might faint!
As for this booklet.
It’s actually a priceless magic item that helps me stay focused.”
As he spoke, he handed the booklet over generously.
Matthew opened it and found that every page inside was filled with exquisite portraits!
The portraits are all of topless women.
These women may be smiling or angry, with different expressions, and their appearance may not be very good-looking, but they have one thing in common -
They all have quite plump breasts.
"Do you think this thing can keep you focused?"
Matthew couldn't believe it.
But the next second.
…
"Tip: You read Lorraine's "Book of Plumpness", your concentration +1 (your spell casting success rate is greatly improved)"
…
Matthew was silent for a moment.
"This magic prop is quite special."
He handed over the pamphlet.
Luo Lan smiled gently and asked enthusiastically:
"Now, it's my turn. First question, what's going on with that owl on your chest?"
Matthew replied readily:
"Her name is Ella. She is not in good health at the moment and is recuperating at my place."
Unexpectedly, Luo Lan's eyes lit up:
"she?"
Matthew looked at him confused.
"You have a close relationship?"
Lorraine's eyes became full of appreciation.
Matthew thought for a while:
"That's right."
Luo Lan slapped his thigh suddenly and praised:
"I had already guessed that you were of the same kind!"
"You can even attack an owl, that's fine, Matthew, he is indeed a necromancer, he's having a great time!"
Matthew's face darkened.
He just wanted to explain something.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly turned completely dark.
A penetrating roar came from the distant sky.
A black shadow quickly swept across the sky.
Suddenly the strong wind raged on the high ground!
at the same time.
There were heavy footsteps coming from the depths of the rain forest, as well as the roar of a large number of falling trees!
From the west, the sound of river water could be heard.
Ella popped up a little head and exclaimed:
"Matthew Matthew! I feel something terrible crawled ashore from the river over there!"
…
"Warning: The spirit of the rainforest is about to launch a final siege on you!
You are about to encounter the "original relic: Fengshen Pterosaur (LV15)"!
You are about to encounter the "Mutant Lord: Pied Giant Crocodile (LV15)"!
You are about to encounter the "original relic/mutant lord: Steel Teeth Tyrannosaurus (LV16)"!"
