Chapter 40: An Irish Town (22) (Update 2) Necromancer...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the music and dancing stopped abruptly.
The Irish mayor and his mysterious mermaid wife appeared in the banquet hall, surrounded by a group of knights and maids.
Gavin Fetan was a middle-aged man with a beard and a physique like a bear, but he had a pair of clear sapphire eyes, which made his temperament friendly and peaceful.
The mayor's wife took a completely different route from the mayor. She dressed very gorgeously and exquisitely, elegantly and noblely. Her
pure golden hair was braided into a single braid, hanging from the left side of her face to her neck.
The top of her body was a slightly off-shoulder puff-sleeved tight jacket, revealing her sexy body. The soft, close-fitting skirt completely concealed her fishtail, and the skirt was embroidered with sparkling gems and pearls.
Mermaids can walk reliably and slide, but the mayor's wife has her own silver stroller inlaid with gems and flowers.
This is the coldest, most classical Western beauty, and the most powerful aura Ye Mo has ever seen. An
absolute real mermaid.
The survivor Bella is also a sexy beauty with a curvy figure, but compared with the mayor's wife on the scene, she is still more than one or two points behind. Maybe the fake appearance assigned by the system also has an impact.
Many men present were staring at her.
Including Arthur and other survivors from Earth, I just saw Arthur, a muscular gentleman from England, flirting with a pretty young maid.
His good looks and sweet and humorous witticisms that were different from this world really made some maids' eyes light up.
Bella, my companion, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
I heard that the wives of the mayors for several generations were beautiful mermaid princesses, so the Irish town has always had a mermaid guard, and the mermaids are one of the main components of the guard.
The guests stood up to greet them.
Mayor Fetan stood at the designated position and spoke like a leader: "You are all the elites or future elites of my Irish town. Welcome to my Gavin Fetan's banquet. I hope you can have a good time at the banquet!" The people
below had different greetings and responses, which were a bit chaotic, but generally they all expressed gratitude for the mayor's invitation or praised the rich food and wine at the banquet.
After the polite words, Mayor Fetan and his wife sat down first.
Others bowed or pulled their skirts to them, and then sat down one after another.
Music and dancing sounded again.
The maids at the service station were methodically serving steaming barbecue or stew. Tonight's Monster barbecue was all freshly killed and grilled.
The banquet had just begun.
But the banquet at this time was more quiet and restrained than before the banquet. It was neither lively nor free. This was probably because Mayor Fetan would talk to each guest "intimately" one by one according to the order arranged in advance.
As elite reserve forces, the survivors were naturally in the back row, especially the two newcomers who were scattered, unorganized and without a team, because the other survivors could still benefit from the mercenary corps.
Ye Mo was not in a hurry. She slowly ate the food that tasted okay with a set of forks, knives and spoons made of Monster teeth. Her appetite was very large now, so she was not worried about overeating from eating too long.
When the plate was empty, the shy maid behind him would add it silently. The service attitude and efficiency were perfect.
Li next door had the opposite appetite of the goblins. He only drank alcohol and ate meat, rarely ate vegetables and fruits, didn't like drinking alcohol, and didn't seem to eat a lot.
The appearance of the goblins seemed a little strange to other races, but compared to Ye Mo, they thought Li was more gloomy and unpleasant, which showed how much damage a person's temperament could do.
Ye Mo didn't reject Li because of this. After all, he was Chinese. He couldn't help but think -
'Golden fingers are sometimes a happy trouble.'
...
Listening to other people's conversations, putting aside official polite words, can help survivors understand the Celtic Continent.
When asking about Arthur and Bella, Ye Mo paid more attention.
Arthur was called a natural swordsman by the mayor of Fetan, which shows that he has a good talent for swordsmanship, and Bella was also praised as a rare dual-type magician in a century. They both went in and out of the inner circle of the Monster Forest.
Although Arthur's only compliment is swordsman, there are so many swordsmen, but only he has been called a "natural swordsman" because he was promoted to a high-level swordsman in a short period of time. He is
the only high-level swordsman among the survivors.
In comparison, another American wood mage Andre and the Japanese Masao Nakamura were both born in a large mercenary group, but they are much less impressive. The only bright spot is that Masao Nakamura is a relatively rare white magician, and it is his talent that made him join this mercenary group.
An hour and a half passed like this.
Finally, only Ye Mo and his neighbor were left. They had already put their tableware back to their original positions and stopped eating.
Surprisingly, Mayor Feitan asked them both at the same time, praising them with exclamatory words.
"Maria, Li, you two are such interesting and talented young men. I'm glad that such rare talents like you can emerge in an Irish town!"
After listening to them all, compared to others, this was a relatively high evaluation of them, but it was not uncommon.
After all, Mayor Feitan loved to praise people too much, and his praises were all exaggerated adjectives.
"..."
Ye Mo and Li stood up one after another, one tall and one short, and bowed almost at the same time to thank Mayor Feitan for his compliments.
"Don't be polite, just sit down, sit down quickly." Mayor Feitan really likes to laugh. When he laughs, his thick beard will keep shaking, and it has a bit of a comedic effect if you look closely.
"Maria, you are a careful craftsman and a heroic warrior. I believe your parents will be proud of you. Li, although you have awakened your dark talent and become a necromancer, the great wizard god Druid will always bless you." Necromancer
.
Ye Mo blinked his eyelashes. Do necromancers have unstable power that fluctuates up and down and a lingering smell of blood on their bodies? I haven't seen it, so I can't compare it, and I can't understand it.
Dark mages are rarer than light mages.
Among them, those who can control the undead are even rarer, but this skill makes Li almost rejected by everyone in the town. People are afraid that after they die, their souls will not be able to reach Avalon.
Avalon is the same as the Avalon in Western European mythology on Earth. It is the habitat of souls, a place similar to the underworld. It is said that after a person dies, the soul will go there.
Ye Mo was curious:
"What does the soul look like?"
Mayor Feitan's words also made everyone present understand that the two newcomers in front of them were a rare goblin warrior and a rare dark necromancer.
They are indeed special enough.
Ye Mo silently learned Li's facial paralysis skills to resist the scrutiny of these strong men.
Mayor Feitan praised them a few more times before letting them go and raised his glass to toast everyone present and the druids.
The mayor's wife also spoke for the first time.
Although she only spoke a few short words, her voice was very penetrating and charming. Even those present with weak willpower would be confused for a long time.
Including women.
Could this be the voice of the legendary mermaid Siren? It is surprisingly consistent with the Western medieval navigation stories on Earth.
Ye Mo's mental strength is very high, and the voice only sounds good to her. While relying on her acting skills to fool people, she can also distract herself to analyze the mermaid's racial talents and skills.
Seeing the reactions of the crowd, the mayor's wife curled her red lips, smiled beautifully, and drank the wine gracefully.
Mayor Fetan didn't seem to notice anything unusual. He drank the wine with a big laugh, breaking the silence of the party. Some people coughed with red faces and raised their glasses to cover up their previous gaffe.
...
There was a relatively free period of time at the party, which was called "social time".
During this period, the mayor and his wife went down to the center of the circle to dance once. It was a circle dance. Ye Mo, who had no artistic talent, was not sure if this was a social dance on Earth.
Bella, Arthur and the others were having a great time.
Ye Mo's mind was not on this. It was so rare to meet so many high-level craftsmen and alchemists. Naturally, he wanted to talk to them and solve some of his doubts.
Thanks to Master Ian's repeated instructions, her greetings and consultations went smoothly.
Even the Goblin Craftsman did not stop him. An old Goblin with a slightly shallow green beard said, "Little guy, Ian said that you might be a genius who can help Goblins to advance."
Ye Mo: "..."
She felt a little disappointed, disappointed that she had failed Master Ian's expectations.
She was destined to leave.
...
The climax of the entire banquet should be when Mayor Feitan asked the knights to bring up the gifts for the warriors and wise men.
Important note: The warriors and wise men here do not include potential people, but those who have passed the test of Mayor Feitan.
As a future elite reserve, Ye Mo certainly does not have this benefit.
He can only look at the crystal coins, gold coins, gold and silver jewelry, high-level monster crystal cores, rare potion materials, high-level weapons, defense equipment, etc. in the box with an itch in his heart. The elites got the advantage and expressed their deep love for the Irish town with all kinds of rainbow farts.
The reserve elites are eager to move and hope that they can always get the favor of the mayor.
This is the most important purpose of holding a banquet, to show their own financial and military strength in order to attract talents.
After the banquet, the elites who attended the banquet thanked Mayor Fetan and his wife for their hospitality, and under the leadership of maids or knights, a few left the manor, and most went to the castle next door to rest.
They can choose to live in the manor for a short period of time to obtain resources. Only
the first batch of newcomers were left at the banquet.
Coincidentally, except for Ye Mo and the white magician Masao Nakamura, all the elites in this world, even the magicians, are combat mercenaries, either potion masters or swordsmen.
Ye Mo is a part-time swordsman, and I heard that Masao Nakamura also has a certain melee ability.
So the test question given by Mayor Fetan to the new warriors is to enter the inner circle of the Monster Forest.
Ye Mo asked Watson's uncle about this situation.
After each banquet, the elite newcomers who are famous for their martial arts will all face a training mode mission test-usually going deep into the Monster Forest to accumulate experience and broaden their horizons.
Because this mission is highly dangerous, the knights of Mayor Fetan will join in.
Even with the presence of the knights, this test is still somewhat dangerous. The invitee can refuse, but few will. Most people regard this invitation as the highest honor of their lives.
Danger and opportunity coexist.
All those who participate in the mission and survive will have their strength greatly improved, and those who pass the mission can also receive different rewards from the mayor, and even join the first-level guard team with welfare benefits.
"My brave warriors, you have one day to think about it. Give me your answer at breakfast the day after tomorrow." Mayor Fetan suddenly said to Ye Mo, "Maria, whether you participate in this test or not, the workshop and library of Fetan Manor will be open to you tomorrow."
Ye Mo was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you."
"Not only Maria, Jack, White, Bella...you can all visit the non-restricted area of the manor tomorrow, compete with the knights, and learn from each other."
After leaving the words, Mayor Fetan took the arm of the mermaid lady and left in the embrace of knights and maids.
The remaining mercenaries looked at each other.
At this time, the maids who led the way came forward to ask, they had already tidied up the resting rooms.
...
It was the first time in Ye Mo's life that he lived in such a tall and noble ancient castle.
Her room was on the middle floor of the castle facing east. The area was at least four times that of her house on Earth. It was particularly spacious and the items and furnishings inside were clearly visible.
There were three dim magic lights on the wall, and in the center was a large and soft bed. The wall heater had just been turned off. In the open closet were brand new pajamas, skirts, and armor suitable for goblins.
When the maid asked her if she needed a bath, Ye Mo learned that there was a special warm water bathroom on this floor, which was controlled by a fire magic circle. Magic is really a good skill that can be used everywhere.
Ye Mo refused the maid's personal service. After a simple bath, he returned to the room and stood in front of the window to look into the distance.
Under the indigo night sky, the crescent silver moon and the bright stars rarely appear at the same time, which is beautiful and dreamy.
This night seemed to satisfy Ye Mo's princess dream from who knows how many years ago.
After rolling around childishly on the big bed in the center of the castle for many times, he finally carried all the books to bed and started tonight's battle.
There was no other way, the time sponge had to be squeezed a little more.
Now Ye Mo has finished reading "Basic Magic Circle" and "Alchemy 'Balance'". Among them, the drawings of basic magic circles have been drawn 100%, and 17% have been experimentally operated. The
remaining books include Master Ian's Notes, "Advanced Magic Circle", "Special Magic Circle", "Entering Real Alchemy", "Basic Alchemy Theory", "Space Array", etc. These all require long-term learning.
Especially about the theory of alchemy.
Ye Mo didn't know if she would get the system skill book reward after leaving the dungeon. She couldn't bet everything on the unknown. If it didn't work, she could only rely on her high memory and memorize the whole book.
It was another all-night study night.
She didn't go all out like this in the college entrance examination. Fortunately, she liked these.
