Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse Chapter 159

Chapter 159, Long time no see (5,000 words, one update.)

 The rocking chair is at rest.

A figure wearing a dress and a top hat appeared out of thin air.

She has a mature and dignified face, like a lady from a noble family.

 “Glenda!” the woman said softly, snapping her fingers.

 The scene in the basement began to change.

 The mottled walls reappeared with brightly colored wall coverings, and the ground covered with moss and soil became smooth and bright.

 Furniture and potted flowers and plants appeared all around.

This is no longer a basement, but a mansion of a wealthy family.

 Fantasy!

 The change started in person.

 Wu Heng immediately realized something was wrong.

At the same time, in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, a resistance suddenly rose.

 The illusion was shattered, all the missing scenes disappeared, and it returned to the original mottled and dilapidated basement.

 The woman stood up slightly and made a gesture of pouring tea.

Wu Heng glanced at the other party. She probably didn't know that the environment she appeared in was no longer valid.

Still making some actions to match the scene in the environment.

 “My child, has it disturbed my wife?” Wu Heng asked softly.

The woman sat down on the recliner again and snapped her fingers again. Xiaoxiao regained her mobility in mid-air and immediately flew to Wu Heng's side and hid behind her.

He stuck his head out from his shoulders and said, "Uncle, she doesn't look like a good person."

Wu Heng nodded and said nothing.

 The woman opposite looked at her and explained: "It's just that I haven't had any contact with outsiders for too long. I saw her and wanted to ask about the situation outside. It seems that we don't understand the language."

 They are both in the form of ghosts, but the languages ​​they learned during their lifetime are different.

 The novel is in Chinese, but this is the local language.

 The two of them sat together and couldn't communicate at all.

Wuheng is different. It has its own systematic translation, so both parties can communicate.

“Children from my hometown haven't learned the language here yet.” Wu Heng explained and asked, “Madam, you have always lived here?”

 The woman nodded and said softly: "Yes, for many years, some gangs or mercenaries used to come here to do business, but now fewer and fewer people come here."

 Ghosts are difficult to form.

 Requires a special environment and strong mental strength during life.

 It's not just that ordinary people can become ghosts when they die.

 Ghosts are also immortal to a certain extent.

If it were easy to form, those powerful people who are about to reach the end of their lifespan would have formed a ghost family long ago.

The infant spirit that first appeared in the "Mining Village" of Blackstone Town is also difficult to form. It is a newly born child, a dark environment, and a long period of condensation of necromancy magic.

 What appears is also an evil spirit that is violent and difficult to control.

 It is rare for Xiaoxiao and the lady in front of him to form a relationship.

"Have you seen the transactions of those people before? Just let them do illegal transactions here?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

"Appearing in front of outsiders will only cause me more trouble. There is nothing illegal here, as long as it doesn't disturb me." the woman replied.

Wu Heng also agreed.

Medicating one's own business, I am afraid that the commission to clean up the ghosts will soon appear on the association's task board.

The woman in front of me is a smart person and knows not to expose herself to outsiders easily.

 Tap tap tap~!

 At this moment, footsteps were heard upstairs.

 Then came Duke's rough voice, "Captain, are you down there?"

The footsteps are getting closer and closer.

Duke walked down directly.

 The two ghosts disappeared instantly, and Duke only saw Wu Heng sitting on an old chair.

  He scratched his head and said, "Captain, what are you doing sitting there?"

"How is it? Has the identity been verified?" Wu Heng asked.

“We checked, there are two wanted criminals, one has level 3 meritorious service, and the other has a mid-level item reward.” Duke opened his mouth and showed a smile.

 This is quite a gain.

 Not only are there rewards, but there are also meritorious deeds.

 “Where's the goods?”

“A lot of cloth and potions, Marta said they were hallucinogens, and a lot of silver coins,” Duke said.

Wu Heng nodded and continued: "Look around. Both of them should prepare carriages. Count the goods and silver coins and wait for me outside."

 “Oh, okay!” Duke scratched his head again and walked up again.

 Duke leaves.

 Two ghosts reappeared.

"It seems that your team members are very obedient." The woman glanced at the stairs.

 “Trust is mutual.”

"Well, that makes sense!" The woman nodded and continued: "Are you a necromancer? Or some other profession?"

 “Necromancer.” Wu Heng nodded.

"Why are you here? Mages rarely appear in such chaotic places."

"Assigned by the association, it doesn't matter where I go." Wu Heng replied and then asked the other party, "Madam, you lived here during your lifetime?"

 “Well, this is my home!”

“Times are getting faster now, don't you plan to go out and have a look?” Wu Heng raised his head and looked at her.

 The woman looked up and looked at him without blinking.

Wu Heng still smiled and planned to speed up the chat.

She might be able to continue chatting from here, but she still has to go back in front of Guancheng Gate.

They were trying each other repeatedly in their words, trying to understand some details.

  I don't believe that the other party knows that I am a necromancer and deliberately detains 'Xiao Xiao', so I don't have this idea.

 In terms of communication and behavior, the other party does not look like a wraith.

 At most, he is a homebody who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business and will be fine as long as he doesn't disturb me.

 Furthermore, his own strength should be much stronger than Xiaoxiao.

 If you follow yourself, it will also be a help.

 “You want me to be your spiritual servant?” the woman asked directly.

"Well, this is good for both of us. Madam can also go out and see the outside world. Luntam City may have changed a lot, so we can't stay here all the time, right?" Wu Heng began to persuade.

 The woman lay on the lounge chair again and slowly began to wander.

It creaked and creaked.

　　Seems to be in hesitation.

 According to what she said, this is her home and she has lived for such a long time.

 If you suddenly want to go out, you really need to think carefully.

Wu Heng did not disturb her, but waited silently.

Xiao Xiao was still hanging on his shoulders and said softly: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"I asked her why she bullied my child. She said she had been bored here for too long and wanted you to talk to her, but she didn't understand the language. I said, that's not okay. What if you scare my child? Isn't this restricting personal freedom?" Wu Heng said while making an emotional show.

"That's right, you said she scared me at the time!" Xiaoxiao said.

"I told her, but she said that this is her house. She has been trapped here for a long time, and no one has come before she wants to talk to you. When I think about it, she is quite pitiful."

 Xiao Xiao tilted her head and felt that it made sense, "Well, this place is in shabby condition, and she is alone, without even a light, which is quite pitiful..."

“So, she just apologized, and I saw that her attitude was pretty good, so I forgive her for you.”

 “That's okay too.”

 The two of them turned their heads and spoke, and the woman on the recliner looked sideways slightly.

He turned around and said, "I can go with you, but you must agree to a request."

Wu Heng stopped talking to 'Xiao Xiao' and asked, "What's the request? I need to hear if I can do it."

 “When you have the strength, help me kill someone.”

"Who? I am the captain of the association and I have a moral bottom line." Wu Heng emphasized, really afraid that he would ask how many people to kill to complete the ritual.

The woman smiled slightly and said: "My husband, I don't know if he is alive. If one day he is really alive, you have to help me kill him."

 The tone of this sentence is unusually plain.

 It seems that the person speaking has nothing to do with her.

“Is it convenient for me to know the inside story?” Wu Heng asked.

"There's nothing that can't be said. He killed me, took away all the property, and turned this family into this. As a ghost, I want to seek revenge from him." The woman looked over and asked, "Did anyone touch you?" Moral bottom line? Mr. Captain.”

"Well, if the story doesn't turn around, I agree to this." Wu Heng said.

 Necromancer and spirit servant also have a master-servant relationship.

 While driving the ghost, soul power is also nourishing the ghost.

 It can be regarded as a relationship of mutual help.

  but in each other's roles.

 The necromancer is the master and the ghost is the servant.

 Even if the other party lies, he still occupies the absolute dominant position in the subsequent roles of both parties, and is not afraid of any problems.

"Well, I am also willing to be your spiritual servant." The woman took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.

Wu Heng nodded and released his mental power to wrap the opponent's body.

 Gradually, you can feel that the mark of your own soul has been left in the woman's soul.

　　【Successfully contracted ghost. 】

Wu Heng was delighted and immediately checked the properties of the ghost.

 【Ghost】

  【Level: 10】

 【Attributes: Agility 22, Constitution 18, Intelligence 28, Perception 16, Charisma 26.】

  【Characteristics: Invisibility, incorporeal movement, telekinesis, phantom, possession, soul binding. 】

  【Invisibility: The haunting ghost can make his spirit body completely invisible. 】

  【Incorporeal Movement: Entering the incorporeal state and can pass through other creatures and objects. ]    【Psychic pushing: Objects within the range can be affected by the power of mind. 】

  【Phantom: Create an illusion through soul power, causing the surrounding area to form an illusory illusion. There is a chance of seeing through it with an intelligence of 25 or above. 】

　　【Possession: Possess the surrounding 'humanoid' creatures. After the possession is successful, the target becomes incapacitated and loses control of the body. The ghost takes control. The possession cannot be completed if the Charisma is above 20. 】

  【Soul Binding: Apply a confinement effect to the soul target, restricting the ability to move. 】

  Level 10 ghost.

This level is already quite high, not to mention that the survival and upgrade conditions for ghosts are inherently harsh.

  Among the skills, there are three more new skills than 'Xiao Xiao'.

 【Phantom】is a skill that creates an illusion and is just released.

 【Soul Binding】can impose a confinement effect on the soul body. This skill should be used to trap Xiaoxiao.

 Wu Heng set his sights on [Possession].

 This skill is really similar to the characteristics of ghosts in traditional ghost stories.

 Able to possess living beings and take control of the body.

 It can be said that this woman is much more powerful than Xiaoxiao.

Of course, Xiaoxiao is still young and has just become a ghost, so there is still a lot of room for growth.

“Welcome to join us, Glenda!” Wu Heng smiled.

“Thank you, captain, please take care of me in the future.” Glenda stood up slightly, floating in the air and saluted gracefully.

 She really looks like a pretty lady from a noble family.

 It means not having a body.

 “Is there anything else you need to prepare?”

"In the secret compartment in the corner, there are some old savings that you can take with you." Glenda stood up, walked to the corner, and pointed to the stone slab that was already covered with moss.

Wu Heng took out his dagger and pried open the stone slab.

 Revealing the wooden box underneath that has rotted due to moisture.

 After taking it out and opening it, it was already somewhat oxidized. There were five gold coins and quite a few silver coins inside.

 It seems that Glenda's previous life was wealthier than most people's.

"Okay, come back first, wait until you are in the city, and then go see the changes there." Wu Heng said.

 “Okay, Captain!”

The woman smiled slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt and got directly into his body.

Xiao Xiao was on the side, eyes widened, and asked: "What's wrong, what's wrong? How did she get in?"

Wu Heng explained: "She planned to leave with us and go outside to take a look. I saw that she was quite pitiful by herself, so I agreed."

Xiao Xiao immediately asked: "What about me?"

 “Xiao Xiao is still Xiao Xiao.”

"What if she bullies me in the future?" Xiaoxiao asked worriedly.

"Whoever dares to bully my child, I will spank her. If she bullies you, tell me, and I will spank her." Wu Heng promised with a slap on his chest.

 “Okay.” When Xiaoxiao heard someone supporting him, he immediately smiled.

 “But we also need to get along well.”

 “I understand, uncle!”

With a swish, he got back into his body.

 The ghost issue is resolved.

Wu Heng walked out of the stone building.

The sunshine outside was still bright and dazzling, and a large number of corpses were neatly placed on the ground.

Each corpse was searched and valuables were taken out.

 There are several boxes placed in the open space on the other side.

 A lot of cloth can be seen inside.

 At the door, there are three carriages.

“Captain, are you upset?” Duke asked while sitting in the carriage.

“Why are you so upset? Let's sit down there for a while.” Wu Heng walked to the trophies and said, “Have you counted them?”

 Duke looked at Marta.

Mata said: "The goods are mainly cloth and medicine. As for currency, there are 3 gold coins and more than 1,300 silver coins in total."

 In order to facilitate transactions, the silver coins were exchanged for gold coins.

"Let's divide the money. I promised to give these goods to the person who provided the information." Wu Heng said directly.

“Captain, you have the final say, I have no objection.” Duke said.

 “I don't have any objection either.”

"Well, then divide it like this. Be careful when holding the gold coins. Don't let outsiders see it. Don't reveal your wealth." Wu Heng ordered while dividing the silver coins into three parts.

"clear."

 After all parts are completed.

 Let the two of them carry the goods and the body of the "Wanted Order" to the carriage.

He continued: "You go to the roadside and wait for me. I will go there later."

 “Oh, okay!” The two agreed and drove the carriage away.

Wu Heng opened the boundary gate and moved all the corpses into the boundary gate.

Then he went to the roadside to meet the two of them and rushed towards the city.

 Return to Luntam City.

Wu Heng asked Duke and Duke to take the body back to the association for autopsy first, while he drove two carriages directly into his shop through the back door.

He parked the carriage in the yard and tied it up aside.

Horses are also very expensive in this world.

 You can rent it from the association. Once it is lost or dies, the reward on the wanted notice will not be enough to pay for the carriage.

  Close the back door again.

 Go straight to the front hall and take a look.

At this time, many people came into the store.

 Some of them are buying individually, and some are planning to order in large quantities. Anderweil is keeping accounts and quoting prices, while Minnie is introducing the products to some customers who are buying in pieces.

 It seems that these things are quite popular here.

 Actually, there were only two of them in the store, so it was still a bit difficult.

 The arranged swords, one sword, two swords and one crossbow and two crossbows are at best acting as guards and security.

 Unable to receive guests.

　　Some more people should be recruited.

But there are really not many people who can be trusted, so we can only let the two of them be busy first.

Wu Heng walked out and whispered a few words to Anderweier.

 He left the store directly.

 At that time, Weier will notify Wen Mansha to come here to pick up the goods.

  Finish processing the goods.

Wu Heng detoured two streets and went to the Fengchuicao Tavern.

This is the same tavern where Wu Heng and Duke helped catch criminals wanted for murder and bloodletting.

 At this time, there were already some people in the tavern.

 The smell of alcohol and the sultry heat hit my face.

Wu Heng walked in and chose a corner seat to sit down.

 At the same time, the newly contracted ghost 'Glenda' was released. Although it was in an invisible state, it could still be felt floating aside.

“Is it any different from before?” Wu Heng asked.

“I don't know, I rarely come to such occasions, but it looks very lively.” A voice sounded from the side.

“Well, let's take a look first, and then look at other places when we go back.” Wu Heng said.

 At this time, the female orc boss came over.

 Smiled and said: "Captain, I haven't been here for a while."

 “Well, business is pretty good here.”

"Mso-huhu, what can you drink? As we agreed before, you can drink whatever you want." The boss said in a very grand manner.

 “Well, let's have a beer.”

 “Where are these three gentlemen?” The boss looked at the three figures sitting aside.

"The three of them are my attendants and they don't drink."

“Oh, okay!” The female boss looked around, came closer, and said softly: “Captain, would you like me to find a girl to sit with you for a while?”

Forehead….

 “No, I'll sit for a while and then leave.” Wu Heng declined politely.

"Well, I'll have someone prepare it right away." The orc boss turned and left, and soon brought a glass of beer and a few side dishes.

“Mr. Captain, do you come here often?” Glenda, who was invisible at the side, asked softly.

Wu Heng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: "There was a pervert here before who committed murder and bloodletting. Our team helped them catch the person. In order to thank us, the boss promised to come and drink for free."

 “Oh, it looks good. I misunderstood.”

 The two chatted in low voices.

Wu Heng suddenly felt someone watching him.

Looking over doubtfully, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man sitting on a seat not far away, looking here from time to time.

Seeing Wu Heng looking over, the man walked over directly holding the wine glass and leading his entourage.

 Sit down opposite Wu Heng.

With a smile on his face, he turned the big gold ring with an eye pattern on his index finger.

 “Mr. Wu Heng, long time no see.”

   Thanks to 08a for the tip
