Chapter 146: Move All Away
A trace of contempt arose in the heart of the herdsman.
What a nobleman who has no worldly knowledge. He is just here to make money. He is also chanting a spell. If I start first, will I still fall behind you?
The gray-white aura of the dead surged out, gathered on the bone staff, and condensed into a thick bone spear, which was aimed at the noble's shoulder and shot out!
Whoosh——
The bone spear cut through the atmosphere, bringing with it the sound of biting wind, and the force it carried blew up the dust on the ground.
Then a scene that surprised the herders appeared. The bone spear actually penetrated Raven's body, as if Raven did not exist!
The air fluctuated, and Lei Wen, his men and his horse suddenly moved more than half a meter to the right.
This is exactly the effect of the Phantom Shell.
The bone spear drew an arc and drilled into the ground with a clang.
At the same time, Raven also completed the chanting of the spell, and a fireball condensed on the top of the staff, and then roared out!
The fireball was not the usual orange-red color, but black and red like rotting flesh and blood, which made the herder inexplicably feel frightened!
He wanted to hide, but it was too late.
The fireball hit his right hand holding the staff. The bone staff broke and turned into debris under the burning fire!
From the moment he became a herder, he had completely lost his sense of pain, but now, there was heartbreaking pain in his arm!
It wasn't burning his body, it was burning his soul!
As the blood curse becomes more and more closely related to itself, Raven's magic power has also been "contaminated" to a certain extent. Even the ordinary fireball technique is tainted with a trace of the power of the curse.
“Uhhh——!!!!”
A shrill scream came out of the herdsman’s mouth uncontrollably. He pinched his shoulders and shook his arms desperately, thinking It was impossible to dispel the black-red flames.
“Save me——” Forgetting to give instructions from his mind, the herder roared and revealed his last trump card.
In the alley next to it, a second-level bone cavalry suddenly appeared. The light green soul fire in its eyes jumped. As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards Raven!
The bone horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and the speed reached the limit with almost no need to brew. In just a few dozen meters, no magician had time to complete the chanting of the spell.
But Raven remained extremely calm: "Is it open?"
The Bone Cavalry was stunned and made a hollow voice: "...What?"
"Wisdom .”
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of dark green light suddenly lit up on Raven's wrist, illuminating the surrounding environment with the same color.
Fangs as sharp as daggers condensed around Raven, densely packed, as if a giant snake opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth!
Leaven raised his hand and pointed forward, and his fangs were like a swarm of bees or densely shot crossbow arrows, swarming towards the bone cavalry!
The dark green fangs pierced into the armor of the Bone Cavalry and melted one after another. It seemed that there was no harm at all, but the exposed bones of the cavalryman and the horse under his crotch turned green. .
As the white-bone war horse continued to gallop, bits and pieces of broken bones shattered into the air.
With a clang, the scimitar in the hand of the Bone Cavalry fell to the ground, and his metacarpal bones had turned into green fly ash.
Just when he was about to rush in front of Raven, the front hooves of the war horse quietly shattered and fell to the ground. Then, under the action of inertia, a dark green ink mark was wiped on the ground.
This is also the only trace left by the Bone Cavalry in the world.
Second-level magic, "Fang Sting".
The herdsman was still screaming, and Raven slowly stopped his horse beside him.
Turning over and dismounting, Raven drew his sword and cut off the herder's shoulder. There was no blood at the section, only pale bones and gray-black dead flesh.
This can no longer be considered a living person.
This sword freed the herdsman from the pain, but immediately, the sword edge was pressed between his eyebrows: "I ask, you answer."
The herdsman responded with hatred He looked at Raven, wanting to be tougher, but just now Raven was wiped out with a snap of his fingers. The strength and strength of the second-level Bone Cavalry made him unable to harden at all: "You... you promise first, I answered, and you have to let me go!"
"Well, no problem." Lei Wen nodded lightly: "Why do you want to besiege this place?"
"This is Lord Federlan's order." The herder's voice was dry and hoarse: "He asked us to lead a small group of troops to disperse and continue to collect souls for the Lord of Death!"
"Collect souls?" Lei Wen Dao: "There are people everywhere in Xiacheng District, why did you choose this place?"
"Because the owner of this shop is a first-level alchemist! "The herder said: "Our holy religion collects souls not only in quantity, but in quality. A first-level extraordinary soul is worth dozens or hundreds of ordinary people; a second-level extraordinary soul is worth as much as a dozen first-level extraordinary souls." ! "
Raven looked suddenly surprised. The group of undead that besieged the orphanage before was probably attracted by Dean Nightingale. After all, she was a second-level transcendent.
There is also the strange behavior of the undead army before - it is clearly capable of breaking through the city wall, but it has to wait for support to arrive.
I'm afraid it's just to harvest the souls of more powerful people.
But at the same time, another question emerged in Raven's mind: "Why do you need so many souls?"
"I'm just a small character." The face of the herder With a flattering smile: "Your question is not something I can understand."
Raven nodded slowly, touched it on his belt, and immediately grabbed an ancient scroll in his hand.
This scroll was obtained from Heleti's treasure house. Since then, I have not had time to study it in detail. After taking a look at it occasionally, I can only conclude that what is recorded on it is a kind of necromancy magic. More specifically, it is Difficult to judge.
Throwing the scroll in the face of the herdsman, Raven said: "Help me interpret this scroll, if you dare to do anything strange..."
A syllable was spit out from his mouth, and the black-red flames glowed in Raven's mouth. Blooming in the palm: "Death is not your only ending."
The herder shuddered and reached for it The scroll unfolded: "Oh, I, I understand, there are some words hidden on it, but you need to see it from the perspective of an undead creature."
"What about the effect?"
"I don't know..." the herder quickly explained: "I really don't know! I, I can't read!"
Raven was speechless for a moment.
On second thought, yes, if you were really literate, how could you easily join an organization with no future like the Death Hand?
Putting away the scroll, Raven said: "Answer me the last question, and I will let you go."
The herder's eyes flashed with light: "Say it!"
"Tell me all the magic you have mastered."
As a herder, although he can use magic, it is all instilled by the Necromancer. He only knows how to do it, but not why.
The four elements of spell casting are spells, gestures, magic operation, and mental power. The first two can be described, but the latter two cannot be easily conveyed in words.
This is a problem for others, but it is different in front of Raven.
Because he has the Eye of Truth, he can observe the movement of magic and spiritual power.
If it doesn’t work once, try several times!
First-level magic is not that difficult. Even if the details are incomplete, you can study it slowly when you go back.
About an hour has passed. After Eric and other soldiers cleared the surrounding area and received it, Raven has basically clarified the two methods of casting first-order necromancy magic.
One of them is the "Bone Spear Technique" that the herder used before, and the other is the "Heart of Fear", which can turn the bravest warriors into grass chickens.
"Okay, let's go." Raven put away the sword.
The herder was still in disbelief for a moment. When he saw Raven making no move, he propped up his body with one arm, rolled and crawled out, and ran away.
Then, he heard a familiar spell in his ears - the one he chanted before.
Without the intention to blame Raven for breaking his promise, the herder took great strides and ran outside.
However, before he ran a few steps, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and a thick bone spear penetrated the clothes under his ribs, and the huge force nailed his whole body to the ground!
"Tsk, it's crooked. Sure enough, the mental part needs to be adjusted."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The herder heard Raven's voice behind him, and a desire for survival came to his mind. hope.
But the next moment, he only felt a soft sound behind his head, and then saw the tip of the sword between his eyes.
Shouldn’t you let me go if I miss one hit? This was the shepherd's last thought, and then his consciousness fell completely silent.
Putting away the long sword and shaking off the dried brains stuck to the blade, Raven looked back at the alchemy shop:
"Old Bucky, if you don't Come out and I will set your shop on fire!”
Not long after, an old man who was even thinner than the herdsman opened the door and walked out. He looked to be at least seventy years old, with sparse but still curly old white hair on his head.
After scratching his head, Bucky looked at Raven in surprise: "...Is it you? Raven?!"
"You kid got out of here!"
Eric corrected from the side: " It's Baron Raven!"
"I heard that you were taken away, and I thought you had offended some noble lady." Bucky blinked and rubbed his hands again: "I didn't expect it. , Have you really become a noble?”
Bucky is the owner of the alchemy shop "The Goblin's Cabin". He can survive in the lower city, of course, both black and white. Sometimes Raven will sell some stolen goods to him. The two of them have a certain friendship.
Remembering Raven's usual style, Bucky suddenly became vigilant: "Raven, my store has been almost destroyed, there are no good things left, and there are not many gold coins!"
"We are separated, right?" Raven smiled: "What kind of money are we talking about in our friendship?"
A kind of An ominous premonition arose in Bucky's heart, and he did not believe that Raven would change his mind: "Then what do you want?"
"Meng'en City is too dangerous now, God knows what troubles will happen next. Lei Wen said: "On the contrary, my Eagle Territory is located in the northwest of Nord Province, so it is guaranteed to be very safe."
Bucky's eyes widened.
He now understands that this boy Raven is not interested in his store, but in him as a person!
He had never heard of the name Eagle Leader. God knew what kind of remote country it was, and he didn’t want to go there.
Furthermore, he had tampered with snacks a few times after receiving goods from Raven. He wouldn’t be able to bear it if he was brought to Raven’s territory and the old score was settled!
"Raven, Baron Raven, I think my place is quite safe, and I remembered that I still have a safe in the basement, which has some savings, otherwise you see..."
"Oh, and this, you should have told me earlier." Raven patted his forehead: "Flav!"
Flav immediately stepped forward: "Lord Baron!"
"Hurry up and bring people, Mr. Bucky needs Pack up all your things, don’t miss a single thing! We, the Eagle Leader, must not treat our guests badly!”
Bucky couldn’t argue for a moment: “No, I, you...”
< br>How shameless!
Robbery civilian men! It’s simply lawless!
He really doesn’t want to leave with Raven!
However, Raven no longer gave him a chance to speak. After giving the order, he directly mounted his horse and went out for a walk.
The biggest gain today, apart from the two first-order magics, is this Bucky.
Although he is only a first-level alchemist, he is a genuine alchemist and can skillfully prepare various first-level magic potions, including healing potions.
It’s okay if you haven’t seen him before. Now that you have met him, how can you let him go?
Now, I have my own alchemist, and he looks more and more like a noble!
Seeing that communication was impossible, Bucky had no choice but to accept his fate and began to supervise the moving movements of Raven's soldiers.
"Be gentle! That box is full of healing potions. You can't afford to pay if it's broken!"
"Hey, that's not how you hold this bottle. Put it down and hurry up. Put it down and I’ll do it myself!”
"Don't!...Forget it, just move it, please, throw it into the trash can, no need to move it."
There are a lot of things in Bucky's store, and it wasn't until night that they were completely packed and moved. Arriving at the villa of the Silver Hand Brotherhood.
The moment he saw the villa, Bucky felt a lot more balanced.
The Silver Hand Brotherhood was kept in obedience. Manson was as obedient as a follower. In comparison, his treatment was much better.
And Raven did not touch his safe, which is also an important plus point.
It's not that Raven suddenly doesn't love money anymore, it's that he knows that since he wants to use people, he can't offend them too harshly.
Otherwise, it would be so funny if a noble was poisoned by his own alchemist.
That night, Raven returned to the temporary camp and learned about the respective results of the coalition forces and the Fox family.
Needless to say, the Fox family has been making great progress all the way, but the coalition forces paid a heavy price for their blind optimism. They did not gain much from the war, but the losses were not low. Each legion lost thousands of people in the battle. up and down.
But this did not dampen their enthusiasm, and they were "kind enough" to ask Raven about the results of his battle.
Of course, Raven put on a grimace and expressed deep regret for his "little cleverness" in acting alone. Unsurprisingly, he received a lot of "care" that looked like sympathy, but was actually gloating about his misfortune.
They don’t know how hard it is for Raven to hold back his laughter!
Of course Judra didn't believe that Lei Wen would suffer, but he didn't expose it because he had gained a lot of military exploits, and even got a herder's emblem. For this reason, he quietly told Lei Wen Wen showed off.
According to him, this kind of emblem represents more military achievements than a dry human head, oh no, there are too many "skulls".
What he didn’t know was that Raven had collected more than a dozen of these things.
The war continued, with new developments every day. The large forces continued to launch offensives, and Raven continued to sweep through the lower city.
On the fourth day after the Fox family arrived, the coalition forces finally reached the edge of the Bone Spire. Although they wanted to demolish it, they were eventually stopped by the Bone Dragon, but it also greatly inspired the coalition forces. morale.
The size of the undead army in the city is getting smaller and smaller, and it is now less than one-fifth of what it was when it first entered the city.
At this moment, in the middle of the Death Hand army, Sachni summoned Parihir and Fedilan.
“Even if the withering fog continues to be maintained, the army will be completely destroyed in two days at most.”
"The war is coming to an end."
Hearing these words, both Parisiel and Fedilan lowered their heads at the same time.
Fedilan said unwillingly: "We haven't lost yet! There is also Lord Gregory!"
"Fedilan!" Sacheni raised his voice: "This The outcome of this war has been determined, and you still have to fight for your own selfishness , Is it a waste of the soul that should be dedicated to my lord?”
Every time the Bone Dragon appears, it must consume a large amount of soul as a supplement, otherwise there will be worries about backlash. Now as the war becomes more and more intense, Tough times, this investment began to make ends meet.
Federico argued: "But... at least kill Tyrone, or Montreal?!"
Sachenni sighed: "I also want to dedicate their souls to my Lord, but they They are all too cautious. One lives in the castle and cannot leave, and the other has more than just a family heirloom of molten embers. ', there is still the archbishop of the false god standing next to him. "
"Remember, what we want is war and death. Now that the process has been completed, we have collected millions of souls. The result does not matter. It’s important.”
As soon as this was said, Feidilan stopped arguing.
Sachenni looked at Parisiel: "Our mission has been completed, but you can't return to the kingdom of our Lord yet. Go ahead and work with Lord Gregory to deliver the Holy Emblem to' "The great altar', the soul in it will definitely be able to release a layer of shackles for my Lord."
Parisiel nodded heavily: "Lord Sacheni, I will definitely fulfill your request!"
She began to recite the incantation in a low voice, and soon, a gust of wind pressure blew away the dust, and the bone dragon inside Gauri fell to the ground.
Pali Hill climbed onto the back of the bone dragon and looked at Sacheni with respect in her eyes: "May you find eternal rest."
Sacheni said quietly. Said: "May we all find eternal rest."
Hu——
Gregory flapped his wings and flew into the deep night.
In mid-air, a crow turned into black smoke and disappeared.
