Rhodes is standing outside the tomb, waiting for the vampire to return from the tomb.
Rhodes remembered that there should be a special prop in the sleeping coffin of a creature like a vampire. Since the tomb was filled with gas produced by burning flames, Rhodes could not enter it himself, so he could only let the vampire enter and take it out. While the vampire was moving the barrier blocking the road in the tomb, Rhodes also recalled what happened previously.
At the end of the previous day's battle, Rhodes planted a spiritual mark in the consciousness of the dying vampire. Under the pressure of death, the vampire surrendered to Rhodes.
With the spiritual imprint, Rhodes can completely command the vampire. It can be said that the life and death of the vampire is completely controlled by Rhodes at this time.
Mastering the spiritual imprint is equivalent to mastering everything about undead creatures. With the spiritual imprint, the necromancer can control the undead creatures to do anything, regardless of the type of undead creatures.
Undead creatures with their own consciousness, even if they choose to be loyal to the undead lord, will not be easily imprinted by the necromancer.
Undead creatures like vampires will not be willing to be controlled by a necromancer unless their lives are threatened.
The vampire's spiritual imprint occupies a total of 3 points of Rhodes' spiritual attributes.
Based on his previous experience in controlling undead creatures, Rhodes knew that if he chose to kill a vampire, he would get 300 experience points.
As the character level increases, more and more experience points are needed to upgrade the rank. For the current Rhodes, 300 experience points are only enough to increase the character level by 1.
Through the strength shown by previous vampires, Rhodes is confident that by controlling vampires, he can easily gain more than 300 experience points.
When checking the system log, Rhodes also saw the achievements he had made in the battle.
"You obtained the racing achievement [RIP]."
"[Rest in Peace]: All the undead creatures you control (at least 10) were killed in a battle. The basic reward is 2 points of control spirit"
"You have obtained the racing achievement [Conquer the Undead]."
"[Conquer the Undead]: Control an undead creature one level higher than you. The basic reward is 2 points of control spirit."
The control spirit brought by the racing achievement allowed Rhodes to return the spiritual attributes of controlling vampires. On the contrary, Rhodes' control spirit increased by 1 point.
After the battle, the seriously injured vampire used his remaining vitality to forcibly devour the flesh and blood of the other undead creatures, then fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until a day later.
After waking up, the vampire showed the powerful undead attributes of undead creatures. The large amount of flesh and blood allowed the vampire to recover. Although the combat power has not returned to its peak state, it can now move freely, and there is no trace of the serious injury and death from yesterday.
While waiting for the vampire to wake up, Rhodes not only meditated, but also sorted out the items he had obtained.
After taking back the space ring from the items placed next to the tomb, Rhodes looked through another book "Basics of Pathfinding" that he got from Eliot, and found two parchments sandwiched between them.
Rhodes took it out. The first piece of parchment was a little worn, and the paper was dark brown. Based on his past life experience, Rhodes knew that what was drawn on it was a map of the continent, but most of the locations only had a rough topography and a
Place name.
The second one was more complete, with some terrain drawn on it, and landmarks represented by various partial symbols. Most of the positions on the paper were empty. Rhodes guessed that this should be the map near here drawn by Elliot. After reading "Fundamentals of Pathfinding", Rhodes will be able to understand the map drawn by Elliot based on the landmarks and terrain recorded in the book.
After studying for a long time, Rhodes understood the scope represented by this map. The scope shown on the map was not too large. It was almost based on the tomb diverging outwards. There were even several villages and towns around the tomb marked.
It’s clear.
At this time, Rhodes observed that an
In addition, as if to remind himself, there are obvious warning marks in all directions on Airot's map.
After reading "Basics of Pathfinding", Rhodes also received a system prompt.
As in the previous life, all special skills are difficult to obtain through learning. Reading from a book, Rhodes only obtained 3% progress in the basic pathfinding technique. But there is no difference between 3% and 0, as long as no skill points are spent to learn it.
Pathfinding still has no effect.
At this time, Rhodes, who was waiting for the vampire to return, began to check his character attributes:
Achievements: Warrior's Heart, Beginner, Brave, Blood of Heroes, Journey, Necromancer, Undead Controller, Rest in Peace, Conquer the Undead】
Just when Rhodes was checking the attribute panel, the vampire also brought up the props that Rhodes wanted and returned to Rhodes from the tomb.
Rhodes took the prop handed to him by the vampire and played with it.
This is a black crystal with a rough surface. A large part of the crystal is worn away in the middle, and the inside is turbid. The flames did not bring any harm to it. On the contrary, the crystal is releasing death energy outwards all the time.
Rhodes knew that this was the item he was looking for, the Soul Crystal.
The undead crystal will release death energy all the time. Based on this characteristic, it can have a very good effect whether it is transforming undead creatures or improving the level of undead creatures.
This kind of prop is generally common in Dia, favored by necromancers, and is expensive. Just like the piece in Rhodes' hand, even if it is damaged, there is not much energy contained inside, and it still requires hundreds of gold coins to obtain. A truly high-purity soul crystal is difficult to obtain even with thousands of gold coins.
The output of Revenant Crystals is very small, and most of them are produced in cursed crystal mines. How to make Revenant Crystals in large quantities has always been a topic studied by Necromancers.
Putting the Soul Crystal into the space ring, Rhodes led the vampires and walked towards the forest according to the records on the map.
After leaving the tomb where he woke up, the direction Rhodes took was exactly the same as the direction Ellott took when he returned.
