The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0037 Rewards

As soon as he stepped out of the passage, the communication crystal on his body began to heat up and flicker. It seemed that the Master of the Principality had sought him out more than once. He took out the communication crystal and started contacting Brook, the middle-level mage of the principality. It has been half a month since the war, and it is unknown whether the mage group of the principality is still stationed in Ruseran Village. If it has been withdrawn to the city of Valencia, this communication crystal will not be able to contact such a long distance.

Fortunately, the worrying thing did not happen. After waiting for a few minutes, Crystal finally responded. The surprised voice of the middle-level mage Brook asked, "Who? Tell me your name."

Li Xun knew that this was a routine inquiry. After all, he had been out of contact for 15 days, and he did not show up for the final battle. The mage group may have listed him as missing or dead.

"I am Mage Li Xun. I was seriously injured half a month ago. When I was moving to the battlefield, I encountered a necromancer's rout. I was chased by a necromancer directly to the depths of the Avery Mountains. I hid for more than ten days before I recovered. Hurt sneaked back."

"Very well, welcome to your safe return, please hurry back to Rutheran Village!"

"Thank you, I'll be back as soon as possible."

After putting the crystal away, Li Xun reconsidered his rhetoric before rushing towards Ruseran Village with all his strength.

It was extremely safe along the way, because the necromancers, the principality mages, and the army had swept the area many times, not to mention the living people, and even the common small birds and animals were also avoided. Therefore, before the sun set, Li Xun had already arrived in front of Master Brook.

After listening to Li Xun's detailed account of his experience these days, Master Brook comforted Li Xun. Although he missed the final battle, the two standard bone staffs he handed back proved that he had killed him. The two necromancers have contributed a lot.

The timing of Li Xun's return was just right. The mage group set off to return to the camp in Valencia City the next day, and received a banquet from Prince Antria.

Most of the mage teams that went out to encircle the necromancers have returned. Among them, the high-level mage Jose Tiku contributed the most. He not only severely injured the opponent's high-level mage, but also led the mage team to kill 5 low-level mages. The necromancer, the undead servant who almost wiped out the opponent, is the most brilliant of all teams. Due to the difficulty of the necromancer, most of the other teams wounded and repelled, and drove the opponent to the south side of the Avery Mountains, and it was rare to kill the opponent. Among the low-level mages, Li Xun's record is also very impressive. It can be said that it is second only to Jose Tiku's combat achievements of high-level mages. He independently killed two necromancers. With admiration, Li Xun seemed to be on the list of the first army to exterminate the undead harassment, so Li Xun was even more respected.

When Li Xun said that he had been promoted to level 6 and became an intermediate mage in the struggle of life and death, Prince Antria was more interested in wooing him, and he took the initiative to issue a letter of introduction, allowing him to leave the war zone temporarily and return to the capital Pierpont Royal Books It is also a special reward for Master Li Xun to fight bravely.

Li Xun was overjoyed when he heard the words. He had heard for a long time that in addition to the common spells, the Royal Library of the Principality also collected some variant spells and optimized spells. Both the quality and quantity were much higher than those of the local libraries. After repeatedly expressing his gratitude to Prince Antria, Li Xun raised his eyebrows knowingly and vaguely revealed that he was willing to contribute. This made His Royal Highness, who was selecting talents to form his own team, very satisfied, and both parties were happy.

Therefore, after receiving the principality reward on the second day, Li Xun rushed to the capital, Pierpont, under the escort of a cavalry squad.

...

Pierpont City is located in the middle of the Huayu Plain, surrounded by flat and fertile land, and is the main food producing area of ​​the entire Principality. The Mito River, which runs through the plain, has plenty of water and flows near the city of Pierpont, which also brings convenient shipping to the capital.

Proceeding along the road beside the Mito River, Li Xun, who was sitting in the carriage, read books when he was free, looked at the rippling river outside the window when he was tired, and asked about the customs and anecdotes of the accompanying cavalry from time to time, which was unprecedentedly leisurely.

In addition to the developed river transport, there is also an endless stream of caravans on the road. Seeing Li Xun's army escorted by cavalry, they all respectfully rushed to the side of the road to let them go first. From this, we can also see that the quality of the Principality's army is still Very good, very respected by the people.

Miguel, the leader of the accompanying cavalry, is a bodyguard of His Royal Highness. He has probably been reminded by the prince, and he is very enthusiastic about Master Li Xun. During the ten days along the way, no matter whether he stayed in a town hotel or a village house, everything was properly arranged. . So when they came outside the city of Pierpont, the two of them were already acquainted and talked about everything.

Relying on the badge of His Royal Highness and the military's certification documents, Li Xun and his party easily entered Pierpont City before sunset. Ignoring the humanities and customs of the capital, the team turned directly into a small manor in the west of the city, which is also the property of His Highness the Prince.

The carriage passed through a small garden and stopped at the entrance of the villa. The notified housekeeper and male and female servants had lined up to welcome the guests. Li Xun maintained the reserve of a mage, nodded at the saluting servant, and followed the steward's guidance to his room.

After finishing dinner in a hurry, Li Xun lay on the bed and began to sort out the income of the past ten days.

First of all, Li Xun corrected one of his misunderstandings. Due to the slow growth of spirit, Li Xun always thought that he could only control the creatures in the cemetery with spirit power *10, but when he was in Eternal Night City, he had activated his spirit power and easily commanded hundreds of skeletons to act in unison, but he couldn't command precisely That's all. It seems that only the upper limit of his soul space is restricted by his mental strength, not the number of troops he leads. In the future, he will still have the opportunity to command thousands of troops. The only problem is that I need to run around, and what I carry with me is bound to be limited by my mental power. It seems that the ones in the soul space can only be regarded as my own personal guards!

Secondly, the development direction of one's own mage also needs to be established. The classification of mages in this world is very detailed and covers a wide range. The eight major factions are more common: protection, conjuration, prophecy, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transformation. There is no obvious boundary between the spells of the major factions, but there are different biases according to the main attack direction of each person. In addition, there are many special cases, such as warlocks. The spells of warlocks do not need to be learned, but rely on blood, similar to Talented spellcasting. I used to be low-level, and I never refused to come, and I learned whatever spells I could learn. Now that I have reached level 6, I have become a middle-level mage, and I have the capital to start choosing my own path. My advantage is that there are endless creatures with special effects in the cemetery, who are not afraid of life and death, and are not tired. It is a pity that the limitation of the soul crystal cannot play the role of the sea of ​​soldiers, so my choice must match my greatest advantage to let the special effects of the troops come into play. Protection, conjuration, prophecy, enchantment, transformation, and illusion can be ruled out. Necromancy is logically the most suitable for one's own development, making the strong stronger, but it is too "partial". The prepared enemies are likely to make him helpless. It seems that he will choose the evocation system and become an elemental mage. As for specialization, I don’t need it. What I need is comprehensiveness. It doesn’t matter if you are good or not, as long as you don’t be easily restrained by others, you don’t need to pursue maximum damage. Everything will be supplemented by future high-level arms.

After solving his own doubts, Li Xun was finally able to fall into a deep sleep.

In the following month, Li Xun was worthy of being a model mage, and spent his whole life in the Royal Library of the Principality, where books were never borrowed. Relying on the token of His Royal Highness and the greetings from the mage group in advance, Li Xun can read the level 3 spell books here at will, copy the spells he can use every day, read the basic principles, and spend money to let the books read when he is hungry. The library servants sent them in directly, and when they were sleepy, they squatted in the small cubicle of the library for a while, and finally got all the spell materials needed as quickly as possible, and then they could spend time slowly learning and mastering these things. Among them, there are 21 level 3 common spells, 4 level 3 optimization spells, and 1 level 3 mutation spell. Li Xun's knowledge has also become 11 points.

When the haggard Li Xun staggered out of the Royal Library, Miguel, who had been waiting outside, brought shocking news from the front line.

As for the Principality of Novus, the Undead Council sent three archmages to infiltrate the Principality in an attempt to induce a small undead natural disaster with the help of the plague seeds scattered among the 800,000 refugees. They were blocked by the well-prepared 22-level star legendary mage Katie Enni. At the scene of the blood sacrifice. After a fierce battle, 1 of the 3 undead mages died and 2 fled. Among the 2 escaped mages, the body was turned into powder, and only the soul returned with the help of the undead ritual. If you don’t perform the Lich Reincarnation quickly, you may not survive how long.

In the Kingdom of Morrhad, the development of the situation is even more dramatic. The army under the influence of the mages drove nearly thousands of miles, and wiped out more than 2 million undead creatures. The undead council was weak in resistance; on the other hand, nearly 7 million undead suddenly rushed out and surrounded a partial army of 120,000 people from the church. . On December 27, 1218 in the Klein calendar, that is, the 11th day when Li Xun entered the library to study, three legendary liches from the Undead Council appeared on the battlefield, forcing away the "saints" and cardinals of the church, and then the undead The sea submerged the small town held by the partial army. In this battle, the three major churches lost 2 archbishops and 12 bishops in terms of high-end combat power; 108,000 soldiers were killed, accounting for more than 30% of the military force. Near the border of the Kingdom of Jorhad. Afterwards, the three major churches jointly issued a statement alleging that the Mage Guild and the Undead Council had colluded. For a while, the situation on the battlefield mysteriously calmed down, but the war of words between the two forces tended to expand. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this joint military operation to encircle and suppress the undead has existed in name only.
