Chapter 43 The Boy and the Skeleton Monster
"My partner who was born in hell, please answer my call and come to me from afar..."
Philip recited a spell, and the magic circle carved on the ground emitted a wave of magic power.
This shows that the spell is half successful. The target will definitely perceive the summoning message. Whether it wants to come or not is another matter.
...
On the other side, in the cave,
"ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding..." Roja was poking at the rocks with his spear crazily.
Damn, this pile of rocks is finally about to be cleared.
After several days of hard work, long-term energy cannon bombardment and several excavations in colonial costumes, the place is finally open.
Even the skeleton moose had already fallen into a weak state due to firing too many energy cannons in succession, and was put back into the mount space to rest.
"Ding ding ding..."
[Lancery (Elite 496/1000)]
Roja used a lunge and lunge to break the rocks while improving his proficiency, and was about to break through the 500 mark.
Just a little bit off, a little bit off...
Just when he was concentrating on "quarrying", a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind.
Um? This is...
Roja stopped and felt it carefully.
At this time, lines of illusory text appeared on the panel:
[The Skeleton Knight sensed the summons of the contract partner "Necromancer Philip", but the other party's magic power was not enough to support such a powerful existence transmission] [Mission: Contract Summons
! ]
[Option 1: Philip, I want you to help me practice! Note: Send an undead to Philip to help him increase his magic power. The total magic power increase will be converted into free points according to the original contract content. Difficulty: D, reward: experience +50, strength +0.2]
[Note: The strength of the undead chosen to be teleported should be within the range of Philip's magic power - about the level of a newly born skeleton monster]
[Option 2: Philip, go play in the mud! Note: Ignore Philip's call. Difficulty: E, Reward: Experience +10, Strength +0.1]
[Note: Please complete the selection before the summoning spell ends! 】
It turns out to be Philip!
Roja felt a rare sense of intimacy.
It can be inferred from the description of the options that the boy is in a secret environment and is not in danger.
So this summoning is probably just a simple experiment.
There are only two options, and there is almost no need to think about it. The improvement of Phillip's magic power is also good for him.
Hmm, does it turn out that controlling more undead can increase a necromancer's magic power?
This is really powerful, but there should be limitations.
Roja touched his chin.
The only thing he had to consider was where to find the monster sent to Phillip.
Time was limited, but this was deep in the Undead Mountains, and the weakest monster was probably ten times stronger than the newly born skeleton monster... Suddenly
, he had a flash of inspiration and came to the entrance area of the cave.
The previous skeleton, whose identity was a mystery, lay quietly in place.
The only robes, boots and accessories that could possibly identify him were all stripped off by Roja. The
other clothes were also completely torn, exposing the dark yellow bones all over his body. It is estimated that no one would be able to tell who he really was during his lifetime.
Logically speaking, without the protection of the pendant, this skeleton should have turned into a skeleton monster long ago.
The strange thing is that although Roja could see a faint aura on his body, the dead body did not stand up again.
Could it be that it has been too long and osteoporosis has occurred?
No matter what, the only thing that can be sent is this skeleton.
This may not be considered a monster, but it would be good for Philip to study the mysteries of the human skeleton when he has nothing to do. Besides, what if this counts as completing the mission?
Roja knelt down and picked up the bones that had long since fallen apart.
With a thought in his mind, magic power surged in front of him, and a blue circular magic circle covered with complicated patterns appeared on the ground.
This is Philip's summoning spell, and the other end is connected to his house.
"Wow."
Roja threw a bunch of loose bones in his arms, then picked up the remaining ones on the ground and threw them in.
【mission completed! Experience +50, Strength +0.2]
He clapped his hands.
OK, mission accomplished.
I hope Philip will not dislike this gift too much.
...
The following inner monologue belongs to a skeleton who was the "High Priest of the Church of Light" during his lifetime:
"My name is Wallace, and I am the favorite illegitimate son of the most powerful cardinal of the Church of Light, so I I will definitely be a cardinal in the future, with many mistresses and illegitimate children." "
That year, when I was promoted to the position of high priest, among the gifts I received was a diary of the legendary dragon knight, the cat-woman Kate." "
I I was very curious about the dragon's lair, and imagined that there might be a lot of gold coins and gems buried in it, so I took some guards and set out to find the abandoned lair of the dragon Triss." "Unfortunately, we found Triss's abandoned lair
. In the lair, I also ran into a necromancer who was practicing secretly in the Mountains of the Undead. Of course, the fiercest battle broke out as soon as the two parties met." "The necromancer was seriously injured and escaped. My guards also died on the spot. I escaped with my equipment
. When he got to Triss's lair, he soon couldn't hold on and died, and his soul hid in the pendant and fell into a deep sleep."
"I don't know how long it took, but the pendant was broken. I woke up and found that my body had turned into a withered skeleton. Woohoo! I turned into the undead I hate most! Or an ugly and weak skeleton monster!"
" Moreover, I didn’t dare to move at all, and even used secret techniques to extinguish my soul fire, because there was an undead that was much stronger than me. I felt that he could kill me with just his eyes. Although I hate undead, But I'm more afraid of death..."
"Until this day, the undead came again and threw my body into the summoning circle! Guess what I see now? Holy light! Another damn undead Mage! Still a poor kid!"
Wallace's skull rolled twice on the ground and stopped shaking. A pair of empty eyes stared at the boy with a face full of horror.
"What, what is this?!" Phillip looked shocked.
Of course he would not mistake a withered skeleton for his contracted undead, but he just couldn't figure out why this thing appeared.
"Could it be that other garbage was accidentally sucked in after the summoning failed?" The young man murmured to himself, speculating.
"You actually called me trash!" Wallace was a little angry.
In this case, his mind changed quickly:
"I don't want to die! I have become undead anyway, and the Holy Light cannot blame me for falling into darkness...
" As such a weak skeleton monster, it is better to follow a necromancer. s Choice.
"But the premise is that I can't be used as cannon fodder by him! I have to show my precious value!
"Humph, a little kid from a poor background, and has never seen much of the world. I showed a little bit of ability, but he still didn't treat me As a legendary ancient heroic spirit, treat me with respect? "
Thinking of this, under Philip's surprised gaze, Wallace began to piece together his body.
After a while, a skeleton stood up.
It stretched out a finger gracefully and slowly carved a deep inscription on the wall. Magic words.
This scene left the young man stunned.
Just when Wallace was quite satisfied with his hand, he said,
"What kind of monster are you doing! Stay away from me! Water Water Technique!"
A high-pressure water flow as thick as a finger hit his forehead, sending his head flying. Get out!
Thanks to "psycho" and "K2 Metallic Paint" for the point reward
