Mondino, the Dementor, a well-known necromancer in the Northland. He did not create any untold human tragedies, nor did he cause any earth-shattering catastrophe, instead he harvested a lot of souls in the past few decades.
If Mondino were harvesting ordinary untouchable souls, even if the trouble he caused was bigger, he would not have the current reputation. But he didn't touch the low-level untouchables at all, and aimed directly at adventurers who were not low-capable, and even high-ranking people.
It is rumored that the'soul-grabber' uses a cursed coin to purchase souls every time he makes a shot. None of the souls acquired by him can escape his clutches, and they all end up in a desolate situation in the end.
"Those rumors are not worth refuting at all. Just think about people who have been willing to do business with me for so many years, and I know that my credibility is still fine.
There are many people who use their souls as collateral, renting my ability to complete tasks that are usually impossible. Most of them use the opponent's soul to pay after winning, thus achieving success. Although some people fail, it has nothing to do with me.
In fact, I have a lot of customers, and many times they need to make appointments or even bidding. "
The Necromancer’s explanation was impeccable, and his ability to'recognize lies' did not find him lying. Zhou Qingfeng accepted his dementing coin and decided to try it when he was free.
Mondino promised to live in Harmony Village for a period of time. After all, there are now a lot of adventurers gathered here, these people are red-eyed and want to make a fortune, and they are the best potential customers. Someone must be interested in renting the power of a necromancer.
It's just that the soul quality of most adventurers is too ordinary, Mondino looks down on it. However, Zhou Qingfeng, as a fellow man, made him pay more attention to-how did this young man cooperate with the succubus
In Mondino’s conjecture, Zhou Qingfeng’s construction of a harmonious village should be a conspiracy to attract a large number of adventurers to gather here, just to harvest the soul. But the things in the village made him unable to understand, because young people didn't seem to be engaged in a deal.
One month after the construction of a harmonious village, the accommodating of heroes from all quarters, and the recruitment of social virtues, the Black Forest has become a paradise on earth and heaven on earth. All the heroes are reluctant to think about Shu, passionate, and have devoted themselves to the great cause of digging for treasures.
If you don’t want to explore, you can also accept employment in the village in exchange for compensation. Harmony Village is now engaged in large-scale construction, which requires a lot of wood, and logging can make money.
With a large population, the village is full of all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, bandits, and thieves. From the priest of the "Mother of Plague", to the soul-absorbing necromancer, and finally the three-legged cat, the adventurer who scurrying around like a one-legged rat.
In the village, there were two fights and fights in two days, and the public security situation deteriorated rapidly, which caused extremely bad social effects and caused serious instability among the villagers. There is also the situation of defecating everywhere, and the preaching is useless at all.
Uncle Zhou went out to enforce the law two days ago, but he encountered a situation of blatant provocation and violent resistance. Some adventurers actually connected in secret, wanting to form gangs in the village, independent of the mountain, with the intention of overthrowing the wise rule of His Excellency Hugo.
"How dare to make trouble under Lao Tzu's nose, when I am the Hong Kong gang of rubbish who will only rant and condemn?" Zhou Qingfeng was furious and immediately put an end to the chaos-he asked the necromancer to summon a hundred skeletons.
Skeletons are moving bones, puppets that follow the orders of the evil ruler. Their hollow eye sockets shone red, they can only accept orders and have no autonomous ability.
Others used this undead creature to fight, but Zhou Qingfeng used it to dig out manure and plant the land. This brain circuit is always more peculiar. The village had poor public security, and he immediately thought whether he could use skeletons as a deterrent. After all, this didn't cost money and didn't have to pay wages.
But the necromancer refused without hesitation—it's not difficult to summon the skeletons, but it takes a lot of effort to control the skeletons. No one will be full all day, nothing to focus on this. Moreover, the spiritual power of the wizard is limited, and it is impossible to control a hundred skeletons.
"Your Excellency Mondino, you can control several skeletons." Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Seven or eight." The necromancer reported a conservative number. In fact, he could control ten. But that would force him to concentrate and be unable to perform other spellcasting.
Only seven or eight
Zhou Qingfeng noticed that the other party was not telling the truth. He doubled Mondino's ability to control, but it was less than half of his own. At first, Enisa sent more than twenty skeletons, and he didn't have any trouble controlling it.
"Then call me ten skeletons."
"No problem, please pay for a red crystal."
"It's too expensive."
"In fact, I'm even more curious about how you want so many skeletons to be placed?"
Placement
Zhou Qingfeng's placement of skeletons in the past was really troublesome. He also couldn't run with the skeleton behind his ass every day, he could only move between two time and space planes, and then pull it out when needed to drive.
"How do you necromancers place the undead creatures you summon?"
"Necromancers have always been disgusted by the death god Cranvo, do you know why?"
Zhou Qingfeng immediately mobilized the "occult" knowledge in his mind, and then suddenly realized, "You put the undead in the underworld?"
The underworld is the territory of the death god Cranvo, the home of all the dead. The basic skill of necromancers is to open the passage to the underworld. The undead creatures they summon often originate from the underworld and are also placed in the underworld.
This behavior is tantamount to forcibly disturbing the peace of the underworld, and death is of course very annoying. However, for thousands of years, there have been too many dead people in the underworld, and the powerful and divine Cranvo can't manage it. As long as it doesn't disturb the underworld too much, it should be invisible.
"Your Excellency Hugo, if you really need skeletons, I can summon some for you for free, and it's okay to summon a hundred. But I feel that you may need a plane stone with the underworld."
Mondino stretched out the monster's arm from under his black robe, with a black stone in his palm—fuck, and another plane stone. Can this thing be wholesaled
Zhou Qingfeng asked suspiciously, "How did this stone come from?"
"I refined it."
"Can you make this kind of stone?"
"Of course, this is the basic ability of our necromancers. Set the space-time coordinates, open the passage of the underworld, and open up a space that is not noticed by the gods. It costs about 15,000 gold coins to make a plane. stone."
Contact another plane
Zhou Qingfeng was a little tempted, and asked, "With this stone, I can go to the underworld?"
"No." Mondino categorically denied, "The underworld is the world of the dead. Unless you are a thirty-level demigod, you will definitely die if you go.
The underworld is full of negative energy, and most of the creatures and objects in the main material world are either dead or decayed in it. You can only use it as a storage place for controlled undead creatures, and summon them when necessary. "
This sounds like a space for undead creatures.
"How much does this stone cost?"
"An orange crystal."
Orange crystal? That is 10,000 points.
Zhou Qingfeng suddenly felt that the e-commerce plane stone sold by Succubus was too expensive, it was a topaz with 100,000 coupons. He sent a message to Maydes in his mind, complaining that the price was too high.
Meidaiss did not hesitate to sneer, "The plane stones leading to the underworld are all rotten, I have at least a dozen. But that mysterious plane stone can't be used by others, only you can use it. Such a special thing, I As long as a topaz is cheap for you."
Zhou Qingfeng suddenly got stuck, he inquired about the price of the succubus of the underworld plane stone, and found that Mondino's was cheaper. In order to promote sales, the necromancer promised to send a batch of skeletons and ghost gifts.
There is no pressure in the harmonious village of another world, and all affairs are gradually moving on the right track. A large number of Northland adventurers poured into the Black Forest with the hope of making money. With the support provided by Harmony Village, the exploration of the elven ruins has made new progress every day.
The real world will not go back for the time being, and the GDP mission time will be frozen. Zhou Qingfeng plans to build the harmonious village first, and when the village can provide more raw materials, everything will come naturally. After all, there are a lot of resources in the forest, but human development ability is too poor.
Spend 10,000 points to buy the plane stone that connects the underworld, and get a batch of skeletons and ghosts. The balance of counting coupons is only more than 20,000, which is a dangerous red line, but this should be bearable.
As the days passed, the power rose a little bit, and life was so leisurely. Everyone feels that the situation is getting better and better, and they are full of hope for the future.
Just three months later, the construction of Harmony Village is about to be completed. But in the absence of warning signs, hundreds of thousands of goblins in the Black Forest suddenly rushed out frantically, directly overwhelming Zhou Qingfeng's efforts.
Everyone in the village has no place to die.
