‘Soul Captor’ Mondino is a famous necromancer in the North. He has not caused any untold human tragedies, nor has he caused any earth-shattering world-destroying disasters. Instead, he has harvested many souls in the past few decades.
If Mondino had only harvested the souls of ordinary pariahs, no matter how big the trouble he caused, he would not be as famous as he is now. But he did not touch the low-level pariahs at all, and his targets were adventurers with high abilities.
, even the powerful and powerful.
Rumor has it that this 'Soul Capturer' uses a cursed coin to acquire souls every time he makes a move. Those whose souls he acquires cannot escape his clutches, and eventually end up in a miserable state.
"Those rumors are not worth refuting at all. Just think about how many people have been willing to do business with me for so many years, and you know that my credibility is still intact.
There are many people who use their souls as collateral to rent my ability to complete tasks that are usually impossible to complete. Most of them use their opponents' souls to pay for their success after winning. Although some people fail, that has nothing to do with me.
.
In fact, I have a lot of customers, and many times I need to make an appointment or even buy them through bidding.”
The Necromancer's explanation was impeccable, and his ability to 'recognize lies' did not detect that he was lying. Zhou Qingfeng accepted his soul-stirring coin and decided to give it a try when he had time.
Mondino agreed to live in Harmony Village for a while. After all, there are many adventurers gathered here now. These people are eager to make a fortune and are the best potential customers. Someone must be interested in renting the Necromancer's ability.
It's just that the soul quality of most adventurers is too average, and Mondino doesn't like it. But Zhou Qingfeng, as a fellow person, makes him more concerned - how did this young man cooperate with the succubus?
In Mondino's conjecture, Zhou Qingfeng's construction of Harmony Village and attracting a large number of adventurers to gather here should be a conspiracy, just to harvest souls. But he couldn't understand the things in the village, because the young people didn't seem to be doing it.
One-shot deal.
After a month of building a harmonious village, housing heroes from all over the world, and recruiting virtuous people from society, the Black Forest has become a paradise on earth, a paradise on earth. All the heroes are happy and enthusiastic, and have devoted themselves to the great cause of digging for treasures.
If you don't want to explore, you can also accept employment in the village in exchange for rewards. Harmony Village is currently undergoing large-scale construction, which requires a lot of wood, and you can make money by logging.
As the population increased, the village became filled with all kinds of monsters, ghosts, monsters, bandits and traitors. From the priest of the 'Mother of Disease', to the soul-sucking necromancer, and finally to the three-legged cat and the adventurer who scurried around like a one-legged mouse.
.
Fights broke out every three days in the village, and the security situation deteriorated rapidly, causing extremely bad social impact and triggering serious emotional instability among the villagers. Open defecation also reared its ugly head again, and earnest preaching was of no use at all.
Uncle Zhou went out to enforce the law two days ago, and he encountered open provocation and violent resistance. Some adventurers were secretly collaborating to form a gang in the village and become independent on the mountain, with the intention of overthrowing Sir Hugo's wise rule.
"How dare you make trouble under my nose? Do you think I'm the trash in Hong Kong who can only talk and condemn?" Zhou Qingfeng was furious and immediately quelled the chaos - he asked the Necromancer to summon a hundred skeletons
.
Skeletons are moving bones, puppets that follow the orders of the evil master. Their empty eye sockets shine with red light, and they can only accept orders and have no independent ability.
Others use this kind of undead creature to fight, but Zhou Qingfeng uses it to dig out manure and farm land. This brain circuit is always more strange. The village has poor security, and he immediately thought of using skeletons to scare people. After all, this does not cost money.
No need to pay wages either.
But the necromancer refused without hesitation - summoning skeletons is not difficult, but controlling skeletons is very laborious. No one can focus on this after eating all day long. Moreover, the wizard's mental power is limited, and it is impossible to control it.
One hundred skeletons.
"Sir Mondino, how many skeletons can you control?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Seven or eight." The Necromancer reported a conservative number. In fact, he could control ten. But that would force him to concentrate completely and prevent him from performing other spells.
Only seven or eight?
Zhou Qingfeng realized that the other party was not telling the truth, so he doubled Mondino's control ability, but it was less than half of his own - when Inisha sent over twenty skeletons, he could control them effortlessly.
"Then summon ten skeletons for me."
"No problem, please pay for a red crystal."
"It's too expensive."
"Actually, I'm more curious about how you would place so many skeletons?"
Placement?
It was really troublesome for Zhou Qingfeng to place the skeleton in the past. He couldn't run around with the skeleton behind his back every day. He could only move it between the two planes of time and space, and then pull it out to drive when needed.
"How do you necromancers place the undead creatures you summon?"
"Necromancers have always been hated by Cranvor, the God of Death. Do you know why?"
Zhou Qingfeng immediately mobilized the 'occult' knowledge in his mind and suddenly realized, "You place undead creatures in the underworld?"
The underworld is the territory of Kelanvor, the god of death, and the destination of all the dead. The basic skill of the necromancer is to open the passage to the underworld. The undead creatures they summon often originate from the underworld and are also placed in the underworld.
This behavior is tantamount to forcibly disturbing the peace of the underworld. Of course, the god of death hates it very much. However, for thousands of years, there have been too many dead people in the underworld, and even the powerful Kelanvor cannot control it. As long as it does not disturb the underworld too much, it will be treated as a watch.
Gone.
"Sir Hugo, if you really need skeletons, I can summon some for you for free. It's no problem to summon a hundred. But I think you may need a plane stone with the underworld."
Mondino stretched out his monster arm from under his black robe, and in his palm was a black stone—fuck, another plane stone. Can this thing be wholesaled?
Zhou Qingfeng asked in confusion: "Where did this stone come from?"
"I refined it."
"Can you make this stone?"
"Of course, this is the basic ability of our necromancer. Set the time and space coordinates, open the passage to the underworld, and create a space that is not noticed by the gods. It costs about 15,000 gold coins of magic materials to create a plane
stone."
Contact another plane?
Zhou Qingfeng was a little tempted and asked: "With this stone, can I go to the underworld?"
"No." Mondino categorically denied, "The underworld is the world of the dead. Unless you are a level 30 demigod, you will definitely die if you go there.
The underworld is full of negative energy, and most creatures and items in the main material world are either dead or decaying in it. You can only use it as a storage place for controlled undead creatures, and summon them when necessary."
This sounds like a space for storing undead creatures.
"How much does this stone cost?"
"An orange crystal."
Orange crystal? That’s 10,000 points.
Zhou Qingfeng suddenly felt that the e-commerce plane stone that Succubus had sold before was too expensive. It was topaz that cost 100,000 points. He sent a message to Medeisi in his mind, complaining that the other party's price was too high.
Medeisi retorted without hesitation, "The plane stones leading to the underworld are all in ruins. I have at least a dozen. But that mysterious plane stone cannot be used by others, only you can use it. Such a special thing, I
As long as you have one topaz, it’s cheap.”
Zhou Qingfeng was suddenly stuck. He asked about the price of Succubus's Underworld Stone, and found that Mondino's was actually cheaper. In order to promote the sales, the Necromancer promised to send a batch of skeletons and ghosts as gifts.
There is no pressure in the Harmony Village in the other world, and everything is gradually going on the right track. A large number of Northland adventurers are pouring into the Black Forest with the hope of making money. With the support provided by the Harmony Village, the exploration of the elven ruins is making new progress every day.
We will not return to the real world for the time being and freeze the GDP task time. Zhou Qingfeng plans to build the Harmony Village first, and when the village can provide more raw materials, everything will fall into place. After all, there are many resources in the forest, but human development capabilities are too poor.
.
I spent 10,000 points to buy a plane stone connecting the underworld, and got a group of skeletons and ghosts. The balance of the points was only over 20,000, entering the dangerous red line, but it should still be bearable.
As the days pass, the power increases little by little, and life becomes so leisurely. Everyone feels that the situation is getting better and better, and is full of hope for the future.
Just three months later, Harmony Village was about to complete all construction. But without any warning, hundreds of thousands of goblins in the black forest suddenly poured out in a manic manner, directly drowning Zhou Qingfeng's hard work.
Everyone in the village died without a burial place.
