Chapter 2 The Legacy of the Necromancer
Li Qi stepped over the corpse with a torch in his hand. The tomb...he said it was more like a hole made by a mouse, and the more he walked in, the more winding he meandered.
Fortunately, the cave is very simple and there are not even a fork in the road.
It was just that after walking so far, Li Qi's legs ached. He strongly suspected that he had reached the boundary of the porcupine collar. Maybe he could smell the sea breeze after walking for a while.
"A spoiled nobleman!"
He complained and rubbed his legs. Now even if he wanted to regret it, it was too late. He turned around and got nothing, but he might find something by walking forward?
With all kinds of moods in mind, Li Qi finally came to the end. This was a spacious stone chamber with a coffin placed horizontally. A huge magic array was carved under the coffin, but the lid of the coffin had been lifted.
"I guess that rotten guy was here."
He glanced into the coffin and remembered the rotten corpse that was desperately killed by four farmers.
There was only a pile of black glue in the coffin, and a human figure out of white lines.
He searched carefully, unwilling to return empty-handed, and his luck was indeed good, so he found a bag.
The bag sewn from deer skin was filled with gold, weighing about a dozen pounds.
There was also a book on the side. The skin of the book is made of something, and it feels smooth like a girl's thigh.
He stared at the book for a few glances, confirming that there were subtle pores on it.
Li Qi shivered and almost threw the book out.
If the real Baron Li Qi was here, he would probably roar "Evil! Heresy!" and then burn the man's book with a torch, but Li Qi, who came through time, did not think so. He opened the book and slowly read it with the swaying fire of the torch.
At this moment, he sincerely thanked the deceased Baron Leald Clarence. The knight status obtained by the other party's hard work allowed Li Qi to teach him books since he was a child. Otherwise, Li Qi would have a headache when he looked at a string of snake-lined words.
This book comes from a scholar who studied the mystery of corpses despite taboos and attempted to obtain immortality. In the end, he succeeded, allowing the corpses to regain their walking ability. When he presented this technology to other scholars, scholars called him heresy and expelled him.
He hid in the mountains and focused on studying and improving his academic knowledge, but he found that his research results related to corpses had unknowingly far exceeded those of life research.
At the end of his life, this necromancer planned to transform himself into a dead body in exchange for endless time, but judging from the corpse outside... he failed.
In the legacy of the Necromancer, it records how to transform corpses into actionable dead bodies, and in his record, he successfully created more advanced dead bodies with wisdom. He called them ghouls. As he grew older, most of the Necromancers made were ghouls. He disdained to create cannon fodder-like corpses. He even had fantasies about finding a dragon's corpse, but he failed to succeed until he died.
Li Qi looked at the record excitedly. This thing was exactly what he wanted! It was something that could save his life.
Is it taboo to manipulate and study corpses? Go to his four gods!
"10 ounces of gold, if there is salt, the effect is the best. If there is any injury on the corpse, it needs to be filled with gold. If rare magic materials can be added, it may also mutate, but I have nothing now, just gold and corpses, and by the way, there is also a magic circle."
The portrayal of the magic circle is very complicated. Li Qi doubts whether he can complete the imitation in one day. Fortunately, the deceased necromancer left a complete coffin, and under the coffin was a huge magic circle.
"Thank you for the blessings of the four gods!"
Li Qi walked back and dragged one of the four farmers back. If the corpse of the Necromancer was not obviously not meeting the conditions of "complete corpse", he would have been dragged over.
He put the body into the coffin, weighed 10 ounces with the balance in the tomb and placed it on the chest of the corpse, and then filled the wound from the farmer's chest to the stomach with about a pound of broken gold. Now is not the time to feel sorry for gold, and then he covered the lid of the coffin.
He was so tired that he was panting when he checked the body and moved the lid of the coffin.
Recite the mantra, and then just wait quietly.
It was a series of spells that had no meaning and could only make various strange sounds, but after chanting a few sentences, Li Qi found it was very easy to say, and it sounded like "The Orange Painting of Que Dinghe", like the Chinese Konger.
The dark space cannot sense the flow of time.
Suddenly, a trembling sound came from the coffin. Li Qi stood up. He pushed open the coffin lid with difficulty. The heavy coffin lid fell to the ground, making a "boom" sound. The sound rushed out of the cave and was finally swallowed by the darkness.
The farmer's body opened his eyes and looked above him blankly. The gold had melted into the wound on his abdomen, filling the wound with golden scars.
He successfully created a dead body!
Li Qi took out the book and found a small spell developed by the Necromancer during his lifetime to control the corpse without wisdom. He used his will to control the corpse's movements, but this required super spiritual power.
Baron Liqi, who regarded the dead body as his life, chose without hesitation. What's strange is that he was not as difficult as recorded by the Necromancer. The entire spell casting process was very easy and smooth. When he stopped, his consciousness had completely controlled the dead body in the coffin.
"I might be a magic genius"
In Dongxia, it is said that only scholars can study magic, but it is just a private act. Studying magic and arcane is contrary to the beliefs of the sect. In this country, the faith in God and loyalty to the monarch are above everything else, at least on the surface.
After thinking in his mind that he might be able to learn the legendary magic in the future, he turned his mind back. He controlled the dead body to sit up from the coffin, and saw the young baron holding a torch and a white cloth wrapped around him.
Under his long black hair, he was said to have inherited his deceased mother and had a handsome face. Because his father was the former Porcupine Baron, he did not look thin at all.
One consciousness controls two bodies, and there is a little confusion, but after he controls it a little, he finds that the problem doesn't seem to be too big.
"Maybe this is the benefit of the two souls fusion?"
Thinking of this, Li Qi controlled the dead bodies in the coffin and crawled out.
The corpse was clumsy, shaking forward, and slowly getting familiar with it.
"I'll invite the next one, my soldier!" he said.
He controlled the corpse No. 1 to drag a corpse into the coffin. After a while of hard work, the corpse No. 2 was freshly released from the coffin.
In the following time, Dead Corpse III and Dead Corpse IV were successfully born.
Li Qi tried to control the four dead bodies, and in order to accurately control him, he gave up his body and let him fall to the ground and fall asleep.
But even so, controlling four corpses at the same time still seems very clumsy, and you can only make the simplest attack, advance and retreat, and you cannot control your fingers to bend them like you can control your fingers to bend them.
He walked back with four dead bodies, and on the way back he picked up his own scythes, axes, hoes, pitchforks and other farm tools.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he stopped and controlled the dead bodies to stop. Li Qi crawled out of the cave entrance.
It's already dawn.
He turned to look at the tombstone, the groove of the tombstone was completely occupied by green moss.
Pour a glass of water and finally relieved the thirst, but the hunger in my stomach has not subsided.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.
"Sir, I'll wash and change the dressings for you." The voice was very strange, and it sounded like it was the servant of my younger brother Leo.
Rather than saying that it is to come to help with the scrubbing, it is better to say that it is to see if you are dead or not.
Just as the goalkeeper was about to be pushed open, Liqi said: "Let Teacher James come."
"You! Are you awake!" The voice outside the door was startled.
"Let Teacher James come!" Li Qi stressed again, and made his voice sound weak: "I only trust him now!"
