Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 159, Long time no see (5 words, one update.)
The rocking chair is still.

A figure wearing a dress and a lady's hat appeared out of thin air.

Her face was mature and dignified, like a lady from a noble family.

"Glenda!" the woman said softly, snapping her fingers.

The scene in the basement begins to change.

The mottled walls, brightly colored wall coverings reappeared, and the floor covered with moss and soil became smooth and bright.

Furniture and potted flowers and plants appeared all around.

This is no longer a basement, but a mansion of a wealthy family.

Fantasy!

Changes begin in person.

Wu Heng immediately realized something was wrong.

At the same time, in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, a resistance suddenly rose.

The illusion was shattered, all the missing scenes disappeared, and it returned to the original mottled and dilapidated basement.

The woman stood up slightly and made a gesture of pouring tea.

Wu Heng glanced at the other party. She probably didn't know that the environment she appeared in was no longer effective.

He is still making some movements in line with the scene in the environment.

"Did my child disturb Madam?" Wu Heng asked softly.

The woman sat down on the recliner again and snapped her fingers again. Xiaoxiao regained her mobility in mid-air and immediately flew to Wu Heng's side and hid behind her.

He stuck his head out from his shoulders and said, "Uncle, she doesn't look like a good person."

Wu Heng nodded and said nothing.

The woman opposite looked at her and explained, "It's just that I haven't had any contact with outsiders for too long. I saw her and wanted to ask about the situation outside. It seems that we don't understand the language."

They are both in the form of ghosts, but the languages ​​they learned during their lifetime are different.

The small novel is in Chinese, this is the local language.

The two of them sat together and couldn't communicate at all.

Wuheng is different. It has its own systematic translation, so both parties can communicate.

"Children from my hometown haven't learned the language here yet." Wu Heng explained and asked, "Madam, you have always lived here?"

The woman nodded and said softly: "Yes, for many years, some gangs or mercenaries used to come here to do business, but now fewer and fewer people come here."

Ghosts are difficult to form.

It requires a special environment and strong mental strength during life.

But it's not like ordinary people can become ghosts when they die.

Ghosts are also immortal to a certain extent.

If it were easy to form, those powerful people who are about to reach the end of their lifespan would have formed a ghost family long ago.

The infant spirit that first appeared in the "Mining Village" of Blackstone Town is also difficult to form. It is a newly born child, a dark environment, and a long period of condensation of necromancy magic.

What appeared was also an evil spirit that was violent and difficult to control.

It is rare for Xiaoxiao and the lady in front of him to form a relationship.

"Have you seen the transactions of those people before? Just let them do illegal transactions here?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

"Appearing in front of outsiders will only cause more trouble for me. There is nothing illegal here, as long as it doesn't disturb me." The woman replied.

Wu Heng also agreed.

The task of meddling in one's own business, fearing that it would be a cleanup of ghosts, soon appeared on the association's task board.

The woman in front of her is a smart person and knows not to expose herself to outsiders easily.

Tatata~!

At this time, footsteps sounded upstairs.

Then came Duke's rough voice, "Captain, are you down there?"

The footsteps were getting closer.

Duke walked right down.

The two ghosts disappeared instantly, and Duke only saw Wu Heng sitting on an old chair.

He scratched his head and said, "Captain, what are you doing sitting there?"

"How is it? Has the identity been verified?" Wu Heng asked.

"After checking, there are two wanted criminals. One has a level 3 meritorious service, and the other has a mid-level item reward." Duke opened his mouth and showed a smile.

This is quite a gain.

Not only are there bounties, but there are also merits to be won.

"What about the goods?"

"A lot of cloth and potions, Marta said they were hallucinogens, and a lot of silver coins," Duke said.

Wu Heng nodded and continued: "Look around. Both of them should have prepared carriages. Count the goods and silver coins and wait for me outside."

"Oh, okay!" Duke scratched his head again and walked up again.

Duke leaves.

The two ghosts reappeared.

"It seems that your team members are very obedient." The woman glanced at the stairs.

"The trust is mutual."

"Well, that makes sense!" The woman nodded and continued: "Are you a necromancer? Or some other profession?"

"Necromancer." Wu Heng nodded.

"Why are you here? It seems that mages rarely appear in such chaotic places."

"Assigned by the association, it doesn't matter where I go." Wu Heng replied and then asked the other party, "Madam, did you live here during your lifetime?"

"Well, this is my home!"

"Times are changing so fast now, don't you plan to go out and take a look?" Wu Heng looked up at her.

The woman looked up and watched without blinking.

Wu Heng still smiled and planned to speed up the chat.

She might be able to continue chatting from here, but she still has to go back in front of Guancheng Gate.

They repeatedly tested each other's words, trying to understand some details.

I don't believe that the other party knows that I am a necromancer and deliberately detains 'Xiao Xiao', so I don't have this idea.

In terms of communication and behavior, the other party doesn't look like a wraith.

At most, he is a nosy person who is fine as long as he doesn't disturb me.

Moreover, his own strength should be much stronger than Xiaoxiao.

If you follow yourself, it will also be a help.

"Do you want me to be your spiritual servant?" the woman asked directly.

"Well, this is good for both of us. Madam can also go out and see the outside world. Luntam City may have changed a lot, so we can't stay here all the time, right?" Wu Heng began to persuade.

The woman lay on the lounge chair again and began to wander slowly.

There was a squeaking sound.

He seemed to be in hesitation.

According to her own words, this is her home and she has lived for such a long time.

If you suddenly want to go out, you really need to think carefully.

Wu Heng did not disturb her, but waited silently.

Xiaoxiao was still hanging on his shoulders and said softly: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"I asked her why she bullied my child. She said she had been bored here for too long and wanted you to talk to her, but she didn't understand the language. I said, that's not okay. What if you scare my child? Isn’t this restricting personal freedom?” Wu Heng said while performing an emotional show.

"That's right, when you mentioned her, you scared me!" Xiaoxiao said.

"I told her, but she said that this is her house, and she has been trapped here. No one has come for a long time, so she wants to talk to you. When I think about it, she is quite pitiful."

Xiaoxiao tilted his head and felt that it made sense, "Well, it's so shabby here, and she's all alone, without even a light. It's quite pitiful..."

"So, she just apologized, and I saw that her attitude was pretty good, so I forgive her for you."

"That's fine too."

The two of them turned their heads and spoke, and the woman on the recliner looked sideways slightly.

He turned around and said, "I can go with you, but you must agree to a request."

Wu Heng stopped talking to 'Xiao Xiao' and asked, "What's the request? I need to hear if I can do it."

"When you have the strength, help me kill someone."

"Who? I am the captain of the association, and I have a moral bottom line." Wu Heng emphasized, really afraid that he would ask how many people were killed to complete the ceremony.

The woman smiled slightly and said: "My husband, I don't know if he is alive. If one day he is really alive, you have to help me kill him."

The tone of this sentence was unusually calm.

It seemed that the person speaking had nothing to do with her.

"Is it convenient for me to know the inside story?" Wu Heng asked.

"There is nothing that cannot be said. He killed me, took away all the property, and turned this family into this. As a ghost, I want to seek revenge from him." The woman looked over and asked, "Did anyone touch you?" Is there a moral bottom line? Mr. Captain."

"Well, if the story doesn't turn around, I agree to this." Wu Heng said.

Necromancers and spiritual servants also have a master-servant relationship.

While driving the ghost, the soul power is also nourishing the ghost.

It can be regarded as a relationship of mutual help.

But in each other's roles.

The necromancer is the master and the ghost is the servant.

Even if the other party lies, he still occupies the absolute dominant position in the subsequent roles of both parties, and is not afraid of any problems.

"Well, I am also willing to be your spiritual servant." The woman took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.

Wu Heng nodded and released his mental power to wrap the opponent's body.

Gradually, you can feel that your own soul mark has been left in the woman's soul.

[Successfully contracted the ghost. 】

Wu Heng was delighted and immediately checked the ghost's attributes.

【ghost】

【Level: 10】

[Attributes: Agility 22, Constitution 18, Intelligence 28, Perception 16, Charisma 26.]

[Characteristics: Invisibility, incorporeal movement, telekinesis, phantom, possession, soul binding. 】

[Invisibility: The haunting ghost can make his spirit body completely invisible. 】

[Incorporeal movement: Entering the incorporeal state, you can pass through other creatures and objects. 】【Psychic pushing: Objects within the range can be affected by telekinesis. 】

[Phantom: Create an illusion through soul power, making the surroundings form an illusory illusion. There is a chance of seeing through it with an intelligence of 25 or above. 】

[Possession: Possess the surrounding 'humanoid' creatures. After the possession is successful, the target becomes incapacitated and loses control of the body. The ghost takes control. The possession cannot be completed if the charm is above 20. 】

[Soul Binding: Apply a confinement effect to the soul target, restricting the ability to move. 】

Level 10 ghost.

This level is not low, not to mention that the survival and upgrade conditions for ghosts are already harsh.

Among the skills, there are three more new skills than 'Xiao Xiao'.

[Phantom] is a skill that creates an illusion and is just released.

[Soul Binding] can impose a confinement effect on the soul body. It should be this skill to trap Xiaoxiao.

Wu Heng set his sights on [Possession].

This skill is really similar to the characteristics of ghosts in traditional ghost stories.

Able to possess living beings and take control of their bodies.

It can be said that this woman is much more powerful than Xiaoxiao.

Of course, Xiaoxiao is still young and has just become a ghost, so there is still a lot of room for growth.

"Welcome to join us, Glenda!" Wu Heng smiled.

"Thank you, captain, please take care of me in the future." Glenda stood up slightly, floating in the air and saluted gracefully.

She really looks like a pretty lady from a noble family.

Just no body.

"Is there anything else you need to prepare?"

"In the secret compartment in the corner, there are some old savings that you can take with you." Granda stood up, walked to the corner, and pointed to the moss-covered stone slab.

Wu Heng pulled out his dagger and pried open the stone slab.

Revealing the wooden box underneath that had rotted away from moisture.

After taking it out and opening it, there were already some oxidation inside, including five gold coins and quite a few silver coins.

It seems that Glenda's previous life was wealthier than most people's.

"Okay, you come back first, wait until you are in the city, and then go see the changes there." Wu Heng said.

"Okay, Captain!"

The woman smiled slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt and got directly into his body.

Xiaoxiao, who was on the side, widened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? How did she get in?"

Wu Heng explained: "She planned to leave with us and go outside to take a look. I saw that she was quite pitiful by herself, so I agreed."

Xiaoxiao immediately asked: "What about me?"

"Xiao Xiao is still Xiao Xiao."

"Then what if she bullies me in the future?" Xiaoxiao asked worriedly.

"Whoever dares to bully my child, I will spank her. If she bullies you, tell me, and I will spank her." Wu Heng promised with a slap on his chest.

"Okay." When Xiaoxiao heard that someone was supporting him, he immediately smiled.

"But we also have to get along well."

"Understood, uncle!"

With a swish, he got back into his body.

……

The ghost matter is resolved.

Wu Heng walked out of the stone building.

The sunshine outside was still bright and dazzling, and there were a large number of corpses neatly placed on the ground.

Every body was searched and valuables were taken out.

There are several boxes placed in the open space on the other side.

You can see a lot of cloth inside.

At the door, there were three carriages.

"Captain, are you having a stomachache?" Duke asked while sitting in the carriage.

"Why are you so upset? Let's sit down there for a while." Wu Heng walked to the trophies and said, "Have you counted them?"

Duke looked at Marta.

Marta said: "The goods are mainly cloth and medicine. As for currency, there are 3 gold coins and more than 1300 silver coins in total."

To facilitate transactions, the silver coins were exchanged for gold coins.

"Let's divide the money. I promised to give these goods to the person who provided the information." Wu Heng said directly.

"Captain, you have the final say, I have no objection." Duke said.

"I don't mind either."

"Well, then divide it like this. Be careful when holding the gold coins. Don't let outsiders see it. Don't reveal your wealth." Wu Heng ordered while dividing the silver coins into three parts.

"clear."

After all parts are finished.

Let the two people move the goods and the body of the 'Wanted Order' to the carriage.

He continued: "You guys go to the roadside and wait for me. I'll be there later."

"Oh, okay!" The two agreed and drove the carriage away.

Wu Heng opened the gate and moved all the corpses into the gate.

Then he went to the roadside to meet the two of them and rushed towards the city.

……

Return to Wrentam City.

Wu Heng asked Duke and Duke to take the body back to the association for autopsy first, while he directly drove two carriages into his shop through the back door.

The carriage was parked in the yard and tied aside.

Horses are also very expensive in this world.

You can rent it from the association. If it is lost or dies, the bounty on the wanted poster will not be enough to pay for the carriage.

Close the back door again.

I went straight to the front hall and took a look.

At this time, many people came into the store.

Some are purchasing individually, and some are planning to order in large quantities. Andwyer is keeping accounts and quoting, while Minnie is introducing the products to some customers who are buying in pieces.

It seems that these things are quite popular here.

In fact, there were only two of them in the store, so it was still a bit difficult.

The Sword One, Sword Two and Crossbow One and Crossbow Two that were arranged were at best acting as guards and security.

Unable to receive guests.

Some more people should be recruited.

But there are really not many people who can be trusted, so they can only let the two of them be busy first.

Wu Heng walked out and whispered a few words to Anderweier.

He left the store directly.

At that time, Weier will notify Wen Mansha to come here to pick up the goods.

……

Finished processing the goods.

Wu Heng walked around two streets and went to the Fengchuicao Tavern.

It was the same tavern where Wu Heng and Duke helped catch criminals wanted for murder and bloodletting.

At this time, there were already some people in the tavern.

The smell of alcohol and the sultry heat hit my face.

Wu Heng walked in and chose a corner to sit down.

At the same time, the newly contracted ghost 'Glenda' was released. Although it was in an invisible state, it could still be felt floating aside.

"Is it any different from before?" Wu Heng asked.

"I don't know. I rarely come to such occasions, but it looks lively." A voice sounded from the side.

"Well, let's take a look first, and then look at other places when we go back." Wu Heng said.

At this time, the female orc boss came over.

He smiled and said, "Captain, I haven't been here for a while."

"Well, business is pretty good here."

"Ma-so-huhu, what are you going to drink? As we agreed before, you can drink whatever you want." The boss said grandly.

"Um, let's have a beer."

"Where are these three gentlemen?" The boss looked at the three figures sitting aside.

"The three of them are my attendants and they don't drink."

"Oh, okay!" The female boss looked around, then came closer and said softly: "Captain, would you like me to find a girl to sit with you for a while."

Forehead…….

"No, I'll sit down for a while and then leave." Wu Heng declined.

"Well, I'll have someone prepare it right away." The orc boss turned and left, and soon brought a glass of beer and a few side dishes.

"Mr. Captain, do you come here often?" Glenda, who was invisible at the side, asked softly.

Wu Heng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: "There was a pervert here who committed murder and bloodletting before. Our team helped them catch the person. In order to thank us, the boss promised to come and drink for free."

"Oh, it looks good. I misunderstood."

The two chatted quietly.

Wu Heng suddenly felt someone watching him.

Looking over in confusion, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man sitting on a seat not far away, looking here from time to time.

Seeing Wu Heng looking over, the man came over directly holding the wine glass and leading his entourage.

Sit down opposite Wu Heng.

With a smile on her face, she twirled the large gold ring with an eye pattern on her index finger.

"Mr. Wu Heng, long time no see."
