Travels of the Necromancer

In front of my eyes is a perfect body.

Judging from the broken armor, his identity should be a knight. He is about 20 years old, with healthy honey-colored skin, good muscle lines, full of vitality but not too strong, short brown hair, and the color of his eyes... um, because he is closed for a while. No, in terms of appearance... From the general aesthetic point of view, he is quite handsome, but I personally think it would be more perfect if it can be so ordinary that the person who wrote the arrest warrant can't find such things as "characteristics"...

Of course, many other corpses lying here and there on the ground also meet the requirements, because the above conditions are secondary, and the most important thing that surprises me the most is that this body matches my soul very well!You must know that some necromancers have never found a body that can match their soul to such a high degree in their entire lives.

Hehe, who said that people who learn undead magic will be haunted by bad luck?I feel that my luck is really great. I was thinking about changing my body just now, and I picked up such a perfect body. I am no less lucky than going out to pick up an artifact.

So, I happily moved this body into my magical space with the Levitation Charm, and began to prepare for the soul transformation.My magic space was made by the teacher himself. Using my space ring as the key, if I open it once every ten days, it can last for about an hour.The speed of time flow in the magic space is different from that outside the space. One hour outside the space is equivalent to ten hours in the space. That is to say, I can use it for ten hours after replenishing energy for ten days.It sounds like it's not cost-effective, but this is already a breakthrough research result of the teacher. It is not bad for people to stay in an ordinary magic space for a few minutes.

Therefore, the study of magic is endless, and compared with it, the lifespan of human beings is too short.Faced with such contradictions, many necromancers would choose to become liches like my teacher did, abandoning their human identity in pursuit of eternal life.Although doing so will reduce the necromancer's resistance to light-type magic, the benefits are obvious: it is easier to communicate with the undead, the power of undead magic increases, immunity to most spiritual magic, immunity to piercing physical attacks...

Soul conversion is much more dangerous.Also, no matter how good a match is found, the body can never be better than the original, so the process of conversion is bound to cause wear and tear on the soul.Even if the necromancer's soul is strong enough to negligibly wear and tear, it may happen that the soul and body repel, resulting in sudden death.After the soul conversion is successful, the matter is not over, because after the lifespan of the new body is up, another new one must be found, which is far worse than becoming a lich once and for all.

But there are also good reasons for me to give up becoming a lich: if I become a lich, my body will be skeletonized, so I can no longer enjoy the fun of food.I remember three months ago when the teacher said that he had built the reincarnation altar to help me become a lich, that's what I answered him.The teacher was fully understanding at the time, but he kicked me out of the swamp the next day.

In fact, I think that in the past 20 years, the teacher must have regretted accepting me as an apprentice, because he had to squeeze out precious research time to take care of me. I remember every time he helped me catch murlocs in the swamp as a child. During dinner, his eyes were red and he looked reluctant.I thought I would be kicked out by him in a short time, but I didn't expect to be able to stay in the swamp for so long.Of course, if you think about it carefully, 20 years is indeed not a "long time" for a Lich whose life is almost infinite.

This makes me have to lament that communication between different races is really difficult.The teacher must have been a lich for so long that he forgot how wonderful it is to eat.

Do you sit in an aristocratic restaurant and use a delicate silver knife and fork to cut the steak into fingernail-sized cubes and chew it slowly in your mouth, or squat in the cheapest restaurant while drinking beer and tearing the meat off the chicken drumsticks? It is not important, what is important is to feel the process of filling the hungry stomach with food. The feeling of satisfaction is a supreme enjoyment that cannot be replaced by anything.

Thinking of this, I feel a little hungry again, but now I should prepare for the soul transformation first.The risk of soul transformation is extremely high, so it takes a long time to prepare, but most of this time is spent on finding a suitable body and materials for making soul medicine. The real soul transformation process only takes a few minutes.Now that I have a suitable body, I have already prepared the soul medicine. After drawing the magic circle, the preparation work is considered complete.

It's just that when I turned around, I suddenly discovered a new problem - the original owner of the body has not left, which means he is not dead yet.

Uh, I seem to have forgotten to explain that when I picked him up just now, he was in a near-death state: he was stabbed in the chest, which was a fatal wound, and there were some other fragmentary wounds, the amount of blood bleeding probably accounted for the entire blood of an adult A third, and depending on the situation he had been lying in the woods all night.I thought he wouldn't last long, but until now, although his lips were blue and his limbs were cold and his breathing was weak, he was still alive.

Should I praise this person for his high physical fitness, or should I lament this person's tenacious vitality?For a person with such a strong desire to survive, after death, the soul is likely to become a resentful spirit lingering in the world, or pollute the body to become a walking corpse.Normally I would be happy to accept a powerful wraith, but now the value of the body itself is much higher to me.

I frowned and thought about how to make the former owner's soul leave the body quickly.Of course, I can give him the last blow, but this body will be mine in the future, and attacking him makes me feel like I am committing suicide.

Undecided, I knelt down with a frown, and said to the current owner of my future body in a discussing tone, "Please hurry up and die!"
