Travels of the Necromancer

In the red magic mist, the neighing of horses was heard from a distance, followed by the sound of hurried hooves.The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, but slowly slowed down in front of me.

The first thing to emerge from the fog was the black spear tip, and then the head of the skeleton warhorse.No, it's not a war horse. An ordinary war horse doesn't have such a horn in the middle of its forehead, and its mane and front hooves are burning with flames...it's actually a nightmare!

I couldn't help but clenched the wand of grievance in my hand, speeding up the chanting.Nightmare approached with graceful steps, and the figure riding on Nightmare's back slowly emerged from the thick fog.Black boots, black full body armor, and a black helmet. There is nothing under the helmet, only two clusters of red flames are beating and watching me.

The magic circle for capturing undead creatures can be simply divided into two parts, which necromancers call "bait" and "cage".To capture undead creatures of different levels, the bait and cage used are different.Skeletons and walking corpses can be used as bait as long as fresh meat is used, but in order to capture high-level undead creatures, I use my own undead crystals as bait.But my magic circle was broken many times before, so tonight, I decided to capture it myself.Only when I saw the scene in front of me did I know how normal the previous failure was.

Death knight!The death knight who controls the nightmare just appeared in front of me.The proud, cold, and firm figure, against the backdrop of the huge blood moon in the sky, takes one's breath away.My heart was immediately occupied by tension and excitement. Even the teacher never had such a perfect collection.

However, this is the most critical moment, and the more this is the time, the more I cannot make mistakes, and the efforts before a slight mistake will be in vain.So I quickly calmed down and continued singing.

The death knight stared at me for a while, then rode the nightmare and approached slowly.A high-level necromancer like the death knight basically retained his intelligence. He was obviously aware of today's unusualness, but he couldn't resist today's bait.Because today's bait is me.

Necromancers can increase their power by devouring undead, and for necromancers, the flesh and soul of necromancers are also sacred objects, which can enhance their power to make them advanced, and even help them become the king of the undead world .

Nightmare has already stepped into the magic circle, because I haven't finished singing, so the words on the periphery of the magic circle are dimmed, but the strong pressure of the magic circle still makes its pace slower and slower.In order to avoid failures like the previous two, this time I spent a whole day writing a complex magic circle composed of triple magic lines, which can be called the most gorgeous cage, and I think it should be worthy of the guest in front of me.

Suddenly, the nightmare accelerated violently, and its horn slammed into the first magic barrier I set up to protect myself.In an instant, the transparent light curtain that originally flowed with red brilliance turned into a blazing wall of fire, surrounding Nightmare and its master.But Nightmare was originally a dead spirit that walked on fire. It was not afraid, and rushed through the wall of fire with a neighing sound.

The second magic barrier I set up is an ice belt more than ten meters wide.A belt of ice surrounds me, smooth as a mirror.But as soon as Nightmare's front hooves stepped on the seemingly calm ice surface, it was immediately wrapped in white frost, and the frost quickly spread upward along its legs.Nightmare let out a piercing neigh, and the flames on his body suddenly exploded. He raised his head and pulled out his front hooves from the ice, and stood up on his two hind legs.Then, the front hoof fell heavily, and the ice surface under the hoof also melted.Every step after that, Nightmare stepped on after accumulating strength, and every step left scorched black marks.It just walked out of the ice belt step by step.

And the last barrier that Nightmare faced was a transparent light curtain similar to the fire barrier.But this time when its corner hit, the barrier didn't spark, but bounced back softly.Nightmare took a few steps back and sprinted again, but was bounced back again.So it tried another location, and got the same result.

This is the wind magic barrier I am best at. No matter where it is attacked, the flowing wind elements will gather immediately, repair the damage and block the attack back.Because I am afraid that summoning bread will scare away the prey, I regard this heavy magic as my last protection.

After circling the barrier with no results, Meng Nightmare became agitated and kept pawing the ground with her hooves.At this time, the death knight made his first move. He first reached out to appease the irritable nightmare, then raised his gun, and stabbed at the barrier.

This shot is not sharp, it can even be said to be extremely slow, I can clearly see how this shot pierces the magic barrier.But this time the pierced part of the barrier did not heal, but gradually expanded, and finally the entire barrier disappeared.Because that shot not only penetrated the barrier, but even the space was slightly distorted, the wind element could not flow again to repair the barrier,

Is this the spear that pierces the sky? Although it can't completely tear the space apart, this kind of martial skill is enough to make him the leader of knights in any country on the mainland.I looked at the knight in front of me fascinated, and said the last syllable of the incantation.

In an instant, the runes on the outermost edge of the magic circle lit up together, turning into countless chains, winding and colliding in the air, and finally condensed into a large golden net, covering the knight and his mount.

Nightmare woke up and struggled in the net, but it was too late, the door of the cage was closed.The net kept shrinking, and then turned into magic script again, which was printed on the knight's armor, as if it was originally a pattern on the armor.After a burst of intense light, the pattern disappeared, and the knight was still sitting on the back of Nightmare, his proud, cold, and firm figure remained unchanged, but he already belonged to me.

Only then did I dare to relax. He is only a few steps away from me now. If I was a step slower in completing the spell just now, I probably wouldn't be able to stand here.I turned around my knight several times, and I really liked it more and more.But when I tried to send him back to the Dark Marsh, he didn't follow my orders.

Undead creatures generally do not leave the place where they died, which is also one of their instincts.But after necromancers signed a contract with the dead, they would prepare a safer sleeping place for their servants, where they would wait for their summons.Now there are more and more adventurers in Skull City, and it is not a safe place, so I want to use the magic circle to send the death knight back to the dark swamp, but he is obviously unwilling to leave.

"Why don't you obey my orders, knight?"

"Your Excellency, I cannot follow your order, because there is something I must protect here." The death knight's voice was low and magnetic, but extremely flat, without any ups and downs, as if without a trace of emotion.

"What do you want to guard?" This situation is a bit like earthbound spirits, and the obsession that binds them must be resolved before they can leave.Of course, I can punish the undead who disobey orders, and even extinguish their soul fire, but I don't want to hurt such a perfect collection in front of me.

"I don't know." When answering this overwhelming answer, the death knight was still serious and serious.After all, it is not a complete soul, and it has long forgotten what to protect, but its obsession with protecting the matter itself is always the same.Knights are stubborn creatures, living and dead.

"You should protect me now, your master." I replied casually, while thinking about how to persuade a stubborn knight.It's really nerve-wracking, why don't you let Noah come over and communicate with him?OK, I admit I'm joking.

"The guarded thing... protects the master..." the knight repeated, and suddenly got down from the nightmare.With the sound of metal armor colliding, he walked to a place three steps away from me, knelt down on one knee, and stroked his chest with his right hand: "I, Naus, swear allegiance to you, my master. For the rest of my life, my Both courage and wisdom will serve you, and my sword will swing for you."

Just admit me as the master so easily?It's just that the way he used is not like the necromancer admitting the contract with the necromancer, but like a knight loyal to his lord.I stared blankly at the scene in front of me.What the knight said was about the oath of allegiance in his day, and it seems that I should find a sword and lay it flat on his shoulder at this time.

Just when I was in a daze, the knight suddenly took my right hand and put it on his lips—to be exact, where the original lips were.Then he stood up, bowed to me again, and led Nightmare towards the teleportation circle.

Until the knight and his mount disappeared into the teleportation array with the light, I was still wondering: what happened just now?
