The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 87:, Is There Any More Wish left?_l

Yuli opened the instant noodle lid and asked while slurping, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” Wu Heng then replied.

He still found it hard to believe the records in the Book of Necromancy.

What a coincidence it was.

He hadn’t been in Black Stone Town for long.

The series of missions he had accepted strangely matched the records in the book.

According to the owner of the Mining Village, someone had taught him how to raise spirits three years ago.

Since it involved spirits, it was concluded that a necromancer was behind it.

Therefore, the mastermind behind this must have started planning at least three years ago.

Once the infant spirit was obtained, Bawudong from the Church of Divine Punishment and the magician who steals children had their heads delivered in a row to Black Stone Town.

All of this made him quite suspicious.

The necromancer who died last night was probably the stall owner he met in the black market.

Seeing the goods he sold, and the large number of carrion he had transformed, he was likely a necromancer for a long time.

But he had no chance to lay out and collect these things.

So why did he die?

“What did you say when you just came in?” Wu Heng asked Yuli.

“What did I say?” Yuli looked up at him with noodles hanging from her mouth.

“You mentioned something about what your aunt was doing.”

“Oh, my aunt went out for work, so I came to hang out with you,” Yuli replied.

“You also mentioned something about the necromancer. What was it?” Wu Heng continued.

Yuli frowned and then said, “Oh! The kingdom and the guild take this matter very seriously. If they don’t catch the necromancer, they’re going to send an investigation team.”

The kingdom indeed placed great importance on necromancers.

They were forcing Black Stone Town to reach a conclusion.

Therefore, a necromancer had to die.

Wu Heng felt a chill run down his spine.

“What’s wrong with you again?” Yuli asked again.

Wu Heng wanted to share his findings with her to reduce his psychological pressure.

But in the end, he closed his mouth.

It wouldn’t be too hard for Secret Speaker to control all information about Bawudong and the magician who steals children, together with Slyther’s power in Black Stone Town.

It wouldn’t be too hard to lay out plans either.

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to chat.” Wu Heng closed the book in his hand and smiled.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Yuli looked at his instant noodles.

“Yes.”

He opened the lid, chatted with Yuli while eating his noodles.

Noon.

Someone knocked on the door of their residence.

The guild had informed them to go to the guild to cremate the bodies.

The number of dead bodies last night was not small, and given the weather and the threat of the necromancer, the bodies needed to be burned as soon as possible.

However, Wu Heng had already suspected that the necromancer was just a scapegoat, and this felt like someone was intentionally trying to get rid of the evidence.

But for all this, he had no substantial evidence.

Moreover, people from the guild and the town hall were no longer reliable.

He and Yuli went to the guild.

When they entered the lounge, Autruck and Cavina were already there.

Seeing them come in, Autruck smiled and said, “Wu Heng, these are the books found in the stone castle of the Necromancer yesterday. Our guild can give them to you first to look at, just return them after you finish. Consider it a reward for the assignment.”

With that, he took out a few Skill Books and put them on the table.

There were three Skill Books in total.

They were all old and yellowing, and looked older than him.

[Corpse Manipulation Skill][Evil Explosion Skill][Fireball Technique],

Two belonged to the necromancy faction, and the Fireball Technique was an attack skill.

[Corpse Manipulation Skill] is a spell that enslaves carrion, belonging to the same category as his own ‘Bone Manipulation Skill’.

The difference isn’t too significant.

However, carrion naturally has a serious plague effect, so among living and necromancers, the ‘Bone Manipulation Skill’ is more commonly used.

[Evil Explosion Skill] is the same move that made corpses explode and release poisonous fog last night. He didn’t think much of it when reading the introduction in the Book of Necromancy.”

But the effect at the scene was a bit exaggerated, seems quite useful against the living.

The Book of Necromancy also recorded a ‘Corpse Explosion Technique’, which caused the corpses to explode with enormous force.

It was practically an invincible move.

If the carrion rushed up and you hit it, it would chase after you; if you killed it, it would still explode and kill you.

Last but not least, was the [Fireball Technique], which was a high-level skill, different from the basic ones in the game. It would generate a stream of flames and burn everything around.

Overall, except for [Corpse Manipulation Skill], the other two were quite good.

“Oh, good, thank you.” Wu Heng took the three Skill Books.

Autruck continued, “The rewards and merit for this time will be distributed after being calculated, which may take some time.”

“Okay, we’re not in a hurry,” Yuli answered readily.

Autruck nodded, looked back at Wu Heng, and said, “Your merit should be higher. If you can get another level 3 merit, you may be appointed as the team leader by the headquarters earlier, and then you could have your own team members.”

“Our team is good enough,” Wu Heng responded.

Yuli thought for a moment, then asked, “Leader, what about our merit?”

“We will also have ours, but it would be less than Wu Heng’s.”

After all, the necromancer was killed by Wu Heng in the end, so his merit would be higher. As for the rest, if they didn’t show any special performance, they would also have merits, but not as high..
