Chapter 223 Chapter 221 Advanced Learning
"What are you talking about? What touched the threshold?" Zhuang Xuteng looked behind him nervously, but did not notice any changes. Stone pillars engraved with runes stood quietly and supported the main hall. Outside the hall door was the void shrouded in black mist.
The Lich Master leaned forward slightly, with stars twinkling in his black eyes: "There is a sense of illusion and magic near you, a bit like a magic circle, so I said I touched the threshold a little. What is that?"
It couldn't be anything other than "Deer Hunter", so Zhuang Xuteng introduced it to Master Lich. At the same time, he thought of two strange points: How did the Lich Master sense the so-called illusion magic circle from the outside world, and why did the Lich Master not directly see the Deer Hunter device?
In the past, Master Lich could directly understand information about the outside world through his eyes. For example, it helped Zhuang Xuteng remember the appearance of clothes in other worlds. Is it not possible now, or has Master Lich not paid attention to it recently?
By the way, Dr. Truth Booker called for help in prison for half a month, but Zhuang Xuteng did not receive any reminder. Not only did the Lich Master not tell him this, but the key was that he didn't feel anything. What does this phenomenon mean? Zhuang Xuteng stared at the Lich Master for a while, thought about it, and finally decided to ask him.
"I am recovering and you are getting stronger, which means that the two of us will become more and more independent." The Lich Master said: "Super computing martial arts and dormant martial arts use your skin organs to strengthen your sense of touch and improve your awareness of yourself. Control. The skin envelops you, and greater self-control envelops you, which weakens my ability to perceive the outside world through you.”
Sounds like a good thing - Zhuang Xuteng thought to himself.
"On the other hand, the shadow energy you provided me allowed me to gradually recover. I am a lich, and my heart is harder than stone, colder than steel, and it will inevitably become more and more closed, and eventually Being completely unaffected by the outside world means that the two of us are becoming more and more independent mentally, but we are still together physically.”
Zhuang Xuteng immediately asked: "How far have you recovered? If you leave now, will I be paralyzed?"
"I have recovered one thousandth percent. I estimate that when I recover fifty percent, I will be able to move freely without your help. As for you, you will definitely no longer need me before I can leave you." Lich The master tapped the throne lightly with his fingers, which was his habitual action when he felt a little irritated. "I can be sure of one thing now: I can't fully recover, because a part of me has been fused with you forever, and that part can't be brought back."
Zhuang Xuteng immediately expressed his position: "I'm sorry, but this is beyond my control."
"You don't need to apologize. I was the one who made the mistake in the first place. You never harmed me." Master Lich sat up straight again and said, "The only thing I'm dissatisfied with you about is that you are too much for my requirements." Weak. But now there is a good opportunity for me to train you through the illusion outside."
"It's great to be taught by you, but why do you need me to become stronger? What exactly do you want?"
"It's good that you are still vigilant enough, but it's not necessary. From a long-term perspective, your needs and mine are exactly the same, but you haven't realized it yet." Master Lich said: "Let you become stronger. There is only one reason at the moment, and that is not to die. People like Cassandra can easily kill you, and there are many of them. Even if you lower your requirements, you will only die in front of the Famine Stranger. If you only have this level, I don’t have much confidence in returning to 50 percent.”
"You make sense. Master Lich, I never seem to have asked: What will happen to you if I die before you recover?"
"I will choose the next host. If its physique is suitable, then I can continue to try to restore myself. But there are very few suitable people. I have observed through you. So far, there are only ones that are barely equivalent to one-third of your quality at most. .You call it the Purple Man.”
Zhuang Xuteng's eyes widened and he asked, "The purple-skinned man also has a zombie constitution?"
"The purple-skinned man is a corpse. A corpse has no constitution. It is just modified to accommodate another person's thoughts." Master Lich said: "I can temporarily exist in the purple-skinned man, but its quality is very poor and cannot be used. I improve. So far, you are still my only rational choice."
"Thank you for your affirmation, but I want to know more about the purple-skinned man."
"Manipulating the corpse is an essential skill for the Necromancer, and it is also the most iconic ability. You can also learn it - as long as you study hard." The Lich Master avoided the question of making the purple-skinned man. , and turned to necromancy. "Although you can't become a true necromancer, but..."
"Why not?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.
"Don't interrupt me. It's rude and it shows that you are not thinking." The Lich Master said: "In order to learn necromancy, I slowly transformed myself into a necromancy. The process took forty years. Because of you The rules and energy properties of that world are different. My spells cannot be used directly by you. If you want to independently research the method of converting undead, this life will definitely not be enough. Besides, you don't want to become a skeleton or a purple-skinned man. That's right, right?"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded.
"When I was young, I didn't want to do it either, but I got married and had children, raised six lovely children, and then officially started the transformation, and then had the opportunity to pursue the ultimate knowledge - these things, you should be able to think about it yourself, instead of asking stupidly." The Lich Master said: "You don't have enough time to accumulate, and you prefer to practice martial arts, so you can only specialize in a few necromancy spells. Is the Wraith Servant useful?"
"Very useful!" Zhuang Xuteng said: "I saved my life with it, and it can be extended to many interesting uses, such as stealing like a tentacle, which is really convenient! By the way, there is also the Bone Spear, which is also a top spell!"
"Top? You are a person who is easily satisfied." The Lich Master said: "There are several development paths for the servant series of spells to continue to study, such as creating ghosts, casting flesh and blood curses, creating haunting environments, and draining the opponent's emotional thinking."
Zhuang Xuteng's teeth itched when he heard it, and he gradually realized that "easy to satisfy" was not a very positive evaluation.
"Here, haunting and draining emotions are completely specialized and do not require the assistance of other spell series. If you are interested in purple skin people, you can choose the control corpse series of spells. By combining the two, you can also create ghosts, or make corpses more flexible and obedient."
"Uh... you need corpses to practice this, right? Where can I get them?"
"This is not the initial exploration stage of necromancy. Its technology is mature, so there is no need for corpses at all. I will teach you directly." The lich master then gave Zhuang Xuteng a reason that he could not refuse: "If you learn it well, you can control the purple skin people in turn and let them kill each other. In this way, no matter how many purple skin people there are, they will eventually become your fighting force."
"I learned it! "
"Very good." The Lich Master nodded and said, "I will start teaching you two courses now, one is the basics of corpse control spells, and the other is the advanced level of ghost servants. You need to prepare more shadow energy, and it is best to come to study every day. "
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and agreed, but he still had questions: "How long will it take me to not be afraid of purple people? How many series can I specialize in with my energy?"
"It depends on whether you work hard and whether you have the qualifications in this area. I am not worried about the latter, after all, you have taken a lot from me." The Lich Master waved his hand and said, "In fact, you and Truss have limited time. Do you want to continue asking questions or learn?"
Of course, learn!
Zhuang Xuteng has a major advantage in necromancy: his graphic memory is extremely strong, and he can accurately memorize and reproduce spell runes. Of course, there are also disadvantages: none of the Lich Master's necromancy runes can be used directly, and they need to be converted and evolved, and they need to be adapted to the new world through continuous trial and error. In this regard, Zhuang Xuteng has already had some experience and insights, and has summarized some rules, but whether these rules can always work still needs to be tested in practice.
Remember first, then test, this step cannot be omitted. Zhuang Xuteng stuffed some new things into his mind. Although he had not finished learning, he had to stop and continue to strengthen his memory to stabilize this part. After leaving meditation, Zhuang Xuteng had to "arrange the aftermath" for Truss. He immediately called Lucy and asked the real estate businessman about the house.
"The current house is not easy to live in? Don't you want to continue to protect her?" Lucy thought that the meteor had irritated Zhuang Xuteng, and asked quickly.
"No, I don't want to move out. I want other things." Zhuang Xuteng said, "I need a safe house with a complete life supply system. It's better to be comfortable, but it's essentially an isolation prison. I want to put someone in it to ensure that he won't be disturbed or discovered. More importantly, even if he is discovered, it won't be traced back to us because of the isolation house." "Huh... I understand what you mean. It's just a disposable refrigerator prison." Lucy smiled and said, "I don't have such a house, but there are places in Peicheng that provide such services, mainly some remote small hotels with no one. Ask questions, the service is OK, anyway you won't starve to death. They only take cash, and then give you the key and location, and don't ask you any more questions. "
"Is it comfortable to live here?"
"It depends on how much you spend, anyway, you get what you pay for. I'll give you a contact number, and then give them a call, and they will do what you ask. Since you are worried about getting into trouble and getting involved with me, I will only do this for you, and I won't follow up on the rest."
"Thank you, Lucy, you are the best."
"Of course, I am always the best."
