After a while, Lu Ran was sent by Hei Yu to a room with a separate courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion.

After sending Lu Ran away, the necromancer Hei Yu left in a hurry.

Tell Lu Ran that if he has any problems, he can find her next door.

"This guy, what's going on?"

"Social phobia?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be very afraid of him, Lu Ran was speechless.

Damn, I'm lucky enough that I'm not afraid of you when I come to the Undead camp, but you're afraid of me!

Lu Ran shook his head. What kind of world is this?

In fact, there is another reason why Lu Ran dared to come to the Undead camp.

Generally, in this kind of secret realm with camp confrontation mode, after selecting a camp, as long as the trial-taker does not take the initiative to die, he will usually be bound to the camp for the duration of the mission.

There will be no situation where you are stabbed to death by your own people.

Infinite City will arrange the identities for you, just like how it arranged the identities of restaurant apprentices for Lu Ran and others.

In addition, in this kind of camp confrontation mission, the strength of the trial-taker will definitely influence the situation of the camp confrontation.

In other words, the strength of the trial-takers, placed in their respective camps, is also a high-end force that can play a key role.

Otherwise, the trial would be meaningless. Generally, the outcome of the confrontation between factions is determined by the trial-takers who enter, not the NPCs.

Therefore, at this time, whether it is the imperial military or the Death Cult that occupies Ming'an City, their strength will not be too strong, and there will be no characters that the trial-takers will find difficult to fight against.

Although Lu Ran was a little worried before, after talking with missionary Gao Li, Lu Ran was completely relieved.

Because Gao Li's position was indeed not high. He was just a missionary who had no way of contacting his superiors and could only passively wait for contact. He could not be an expert.

The other party's statement that they can only be contacted "in a month" also shows that high-end forces will not appear near Ming'an City in a short period of time.

Lu Ran judged that the group of people who chose the Imperial camp at this moment should also face the same situation. The Imperial troops with them might be just a small force with no experts.

As an official force, the situation might be better than theirs, but it should be limited.

“As long as there is no Level 3 Beast Tamer in the enemy camp, there shouldn’t be any problem in breaking through the mission.” Lu Ran analyzed as he stood in the courtyard.

All of their trialists are level 1 beastmasters, so the highest beastmaster from the Star-Moon Continent that can appear in the faction confrontation is probably only level 2. Otherwise, if a level 3 beastmaster appears, then there will be no chance for the trialists.

"However, to be on the safe side, we should improve our strength as much as possible before the other party makes a move."

Lu Ran looked at the necromancy notes in his hand, sat on a wooden chair in the yard, and began to read them.

After taking a general look, Lu Ran showed an expression of "as expected".

This basic necromancy and description are exactly the same as the Death Resurrection skill card he possesses.

They are all means of transforming dead contracted pets into undead life.

But apart from this, there are some other things, such as the record of "Necromancer Skills"!

It also records Gao Li's training experience, such as the experience of developing necromancy skills.

After reading it once, Lu Ran was convinced that this thing was of no use to him.

What the missionary said made sense. After all, even if he learned it, he couldn't kill General Ha and King of Death and transform them into undead.

Besides, Lu Ran is the kind of person who believes that "only when the soul and body are complete" is the most perfect state.

Therefore, even if he wanted to contract a undead pet, he was prepared to go with Manager Ying to find those pets whose physical bodies were no longer sufficient to sustain life and had to be transformed into undead pets.

Instead of directly transforming normal life into undead.

However, through the conversation with Gao Li just now, Lu Ran heard for the first time that there is a necromancy that can preserve the body and cultivate the soul at the same time.

This is quite advanced.

But it makes sense when I think about it.

Spirit and soul are part of life itself.

Most advanced creatures can exert pressure with the help of spiritual power even if they do not have a spiritual system.

Well, as long as you have the corresponding skills, there is no reason why you can't use the power of the soul.

However, compared to mental power, soul power may be more difficult to control while retaining the physical body.

I really want to get this advanced necromancy technique...

Lu Ran was in deep thought.

If he could really get it, he would like to let Dark Crow practice the power of soul.

Because the thing about curses is that they are hard to defend against. Compared with physical and elemental attacks, mental attacks are already difficult enough to defend against.

If there is a soul curse, wouldn’t it be even more difficult?

By then, General Crow will be a cause of worry to both humans and ghosts.

The game is extremely weird!

Lu Ran had a confused expression, but... he felt that it would not be easy to obtain advanced necromancy through the channels of the Cult of Death.

The missionary had no way of contacting the headquarters, and he could only stay for a month, so the journey was basically over.

And even if he could get it, he was not from the Star-Moon Continent, so he could not practice it directly.

"If I perform a little more extreme during the breakthrough mission, not only eliminating all the trialists on the opposite side, but also defeating the imperial army alone, is there any hope that I can get an SSS score and obtain the super rare beast control skills like the first time I broke through the secret realm?"

"Since I have chosen the Undead faction, then is it possible that I can be rewarded with a high-level necromancy technique?"

Lu Ran guessed for a moment, but quickly shook his head. Not to mention the difficulty of fighting an enemy alone, rewards were also random, so it was better not to have too high expectations.

You can try, but don't expect too much.

These two paths basically place hope on the outside world.

"never mind."

"Advanced necromancy was also developed by humans. I have basic necromancy, so why can't I study soul power in depth by myself? Even if I don't get a reward, maybe I will have a chance to develop similar abilities on my own."

"Ha! Boss! The King of Sudden Death!"

Lu Ran's brows relaxed and he summoned out both Mr. Ha and the King of Sudden Death.

Anyway, in this breakthrough secret realm, apart from the breakthrough mission, there is nothing particularly important. Lu Ran plans to use his free time to study soul power with President Ha and King of Sudden Death.

After summoning the two pets, Lu Ran looked at the soul-calming slate brick in his hand.

"King of sudden death! Don't resist." Lu Ran had just patted Mr. Ha, but there was no response. According to the missionaries, it was because Mr. Ha's soul was gifted and extremely strong that his soul could not be patted out by this mineral.

In addition, soul talent is also related to comprehension. This is the first time Lu Ran has heard of it.

Mr. Ha’s comprehension is indeed not low. Lu Ran feels that if this statement is correct, then if advanced necromancy can be developed in the future, perhaps Mr. Ha’s comprehension can be further improved by strengthening his soul.

And the violent death king...

"Roar???" The King of Death was confused, and Lu Ran threw a brick at him. The next moment, the King of Death's soul was smashed out.

"Wakawa..." However, what surprised Lu Ran was that the soul of the King of Sudden Death was not the same size as its body. Instead, it was only a red-eyed eagle lizard half the length of an arm, very small.

Depend on.

It doesn't matter if you are photographed.

How come the soul has shrunk compared to the body?

Lu Ran couldn’t tell what was happening to the King’s soul that had died suddenly.

But…less than a minute after being filmed, King Sudden Death looked like he was about to die suddenly, and his lizard soul quickly returned to his body.

"Wow!" The King of Death sat down on the ground, gasping for breath with a look of fear on his face.

"Woof!!" Mr. Ha beside him showed a mocking expression, laughing at the sudden death of Wang Laku, whose soul was actually knocked out by a stone.

"Roar!!!" The King of Death bared his teeth, with a miserable face, looking at Lu Ran sadly, thinking that the sneak attack was unethical.

However, even though he was in such a miserable state, King Sudden Death found that Lu Ran was still laughing beside him! ! "Interesting." After a moment of surprise, Lu Ran did smile.

"It seems that the power of the soul is hiding a lot of secrets." Lu Ran held the soul-calming stone in his hand and smiled happily.

"It was the right choice to choose the Undead camp."

Lu Ran said, "King of Sudden Death, don't be sad. Your soul strength is not weak. It just seems that it is not suitable for switching to the dead spirit system. The adaptability is not good. However, I didn't plan to train you and Mr. Ha to the dead spirit system."

"It's just that I have made another new discovery now."

"Not training towards the dead spirit system doesn't mean you can't strengthen your soul power."

"Soul power is suspected to be related to comprehension. If Mr. Ha wants to integrate the absolute comprehension characteristics in the future, it is obvious that the stronger the soul power, the better the fusion effect will be, and the higher the potential for evolution."

"As for you, King of Sudden Death, the souls of most lives are similar in shape to their bodies, but yours is a little different. Do you know what I'm thinking of?"

King Sudden Death and Mr. Ha both had puzzled expressions.

"Your training route has always been towards the dragon type, preparing to change your 'species'. Your body and spirit have been replaced with a large amount of dragon blood because you often eat dragon food, and your mental deterrence has also been transformed into dragon power."

"However, from the beginning to the end, we never thought about cultivating your soul level as well."

"A complete dragon is not only a dragon in body and spirit, but also a dragon in soul, right?"

"Perhaps, during a period of evolution, your soul will gradually become a dragon because of the evolution. But if, before the evolution, your soul form is cultivated towards the dragon form, then, will the evolution result be more perfect?"

"Perhaps the reason why the beastmasters of Blue Star have been unable to breed dragons is that they have neglected the cultivation of the dragon's soul and only focused on the bloodline and spirit."

"Of course, it is also related to the fact that Blue Star does not have a stable means of strengthening and cultivating souls. If there were a dragon soul crystal, perhaps this point of view could be confirmed. Unfortunately, there is none."

When King Sudden Death heard Lu Ran's words, his brain started working quickly. At this time, Mr. Ha next to him patted him.

"Woof!"

Tell King Sudden Death that if he can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it and let Mr. Lu, the external brain, figure it out. They just need to wait for the research results.

"Roar!" King of Sudden Death nodded, it makes sense.

At this moment, Lu Ran was indeed very excited.

I feel like I've discovered something incredible.

Soul is related to understanding! The creatures transformed into sub-dragons through resources only have their blood and spirit transformed, but the soul form has not changed much! This may affect the transformation into a dragon.

At this moment, Lu Ran was somewhat glad that he had discovered these two pieces of information so early.

Otherwise, after evolving, although Mr. Ha and King of Death may be very strong, it is definitely not a perfect evolution.

If we can strengthen their souls before they evolve, the evolution should be more perfect.

"But the only known way to strengthen the soul is to devour souls. The souls of different life forms are different types of necromancy resources..."

But soon, Lu Ran started to have a headache again. He couldn't let President Ha and King of Death eat souls, right?

Undead pets eat souls because they are undead creatures and rely on eating souls to grow and survive.

But on his side, the pet beast hasn't turned into a dead spirit yet, but it's already devouring souls. Lu Ran feels that this makes him look more like a villain than the other side and the Cult of Death.

Compared to myself, the necromancer is nothing.

"Eating pork and chicken is cruel enough. That's how nature works. There's no essential difference between eating souls and these things. The only difficulty is that souls are more 'toxic'. If the 'impurities' cannot be removed, whether it's eaten by normal life or undead, it will bring certain side effects."

"If you want to strengthen your soul power by eating souls, you have to change this difficulty and transcend and purify the soul consciousness."

"Then, my direction of strengthening in this breakthrough secret realm is also very clear."

"Try to see if you can remove the impurities in the soul through cooking and turn the soul into a dish."

"If it is possible, then we will have the means to strengthen the souls of President Ha and King Sudden Death, and we can also assist Dr. Gu in establishing a stable undead organization. By then, I will have great power in it."

"He can even become the founder of the Undead System on Blue Star and formalize the Undead System."

Originally Lu Ran was just thinking about it, but now, he couldn't wait to find some soul cooking.

All of the above are still plans. Lu Ran has no idea whether it will succeed. He feels that there is little hope, but he has to try.

He planned to go to the wilds of Ming'an City, find some pheasants and rabbits, knock out their souls, and try cooking them.

Of course, before there are definite experimental results, Lu Ran will definitely not let Mr. Ha and King of Death try to eat souls. He still needs a test subject!

"Oh, right, let's find Hei Yu and let her pet be the sample first. She should have a dead pet, right?"

Thinking of this, Lu Ran went to visit Hei Yu, a subordinate of the missionary Gaoli.

"What's wrong?" Hei Yu, who had been guarding the house next door, came to find Lu Ran not long after seeing her, thinking that Lu Ran had encountered some difficulties in learning necromancy.

"Ms. Kuroba, what do you think of the necromancy system?"

"Or rather, why did you choose to become a necromancer."

However, when Lu Ran came over, he started by asking some very philosophical questions.

Hei Yu stood there in a daze, then shook his head and said, "Just this question?"

"right."

"When I was fleeing the war, my pet died to protect me, and I was on the verge of death. But in the end, I was saved by Master Gao Li. He taught me necromancy and helped me revive my pet. So, I became a necromancer."

"Most necromancers just want to revive their pets." She looked at Lu Ran and said, "Wanting to revive their pets and let them continue to 'live' in the form of undead, in my opinion, this is normal."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"That's right." Lu Ran grinned and said, "I think so too. The necromancy system is a very normal attribute, no different from other systems. Power has no distinction between good and evil. It all depends on the person who uses it."

"However, compared to the normal cultivation system, the necromancy system does have significant side effects."

Hei Yu said: "This can't be helped. There are gains and losses. We can only try our best to ensure that our devoured souls don't affect our minds."

She looked at Lu Ran. Gao Li said that Lu Ran had good talent and would definitely be trained at the headquarters. She thought about it and said, "Maybe..."

"Perhaps, we need someone to solve this dilemma!" Lu Ran spread his arms, eyes shining, and began to speak: "I believe that the Undead System will be the key force to reform this empire and the key force to change the beast control field. At this time, if someone can find a way to eliminate the drawbacks of the Undead System, then this system will be able to develop uprightly without being discriminated against by anyone."

"I want to do it, but I don't know much about the necromancy system. Next, Ms. Kuroba, can you help me?"

"Uh." Hei Yu was stunned. This was not what she wanted to say. What was going on with this King of Sudden Death? But Lu Ran's words did shock Hei Yu's heart. She didn't expect that Lu Ran, who had not yet officially joined the Cult of Death, could have such a great awareness.

For a moment, Hei Yu was in turmoil, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Ran changed a little.

Having joined the lifeless Cult of Death for such a long time, apart from the missionary Gao Li whom she highly recognized and respected, Lu Ran was the second person who was quite different from the others that she had met.

"How can I help?" she asked.

"That's what I just said... Actually, I'm also a chef. I want to see if I can remove the impurities from the soul by cooking it." Lu Ran smiled kindly.

"I want your undead pet to be a food taster... After all, my pet is not yet undead, so asking them to taste the food may not give us a more comprehensive feedback."

Hei Yu: ??? After all this fuss, you’re still cooking souls! And you even thought about letting normal pets eat souls! ! ! Are you a devil? ! Hei Yu’s eyes went dark, and he subconsciously took a step back.

"Are you serious about taking a step back?" Lu Ran's mouth twitched, and he said, "This hurts me a lot. Maybe no necromancer has done this before, or maybe someone has tried but failed. But for a new field to develop, someone always has to keep trying and try again and again. Abandon your prejudice, Miss Hei Yu, I need your help!"

"It is our duty to rectify the name of the dead."

"You are, are you serious?" After saying that, Hei Yu was silent, feeling that it was a pity for Lu Ran not to become the Holy Son of the Death Cult. This guy is different from himself... He is simply a natural necromancer! PS: Thanks to the leader of Xueyue Huashi, thank you for your support! (End of this chapter)
