Chapter 120 017: Undead
Lord Hammer God Hercules? Sitting on the horse, Luo Xi was still thinking about the nickname he heard from Angelo.
It seemed to be because of the last time he killed Enrique with a hammer.
After all, in the eyes of others at that time, he was just an ordinary person, but he was able to kill Enrique, who had the strength of a knight, with a single hammer. This incident itself is a legend.
When they arrived at Fengxi City, the mercenaries were still discussing the incident with great relish. A bard in the tavern also heard about it, so he made it into a story and told it everywhere. In this way, Luo Xi inexplicably became famous in the human world.
In a forest west of Fengxi City.
"Gurgle gurgle."
The sound of the wheels turning echoed in the forest, and the wooden wheels crushed two pebbles on the roadside.
A convoy of dozens of people slowly passed through the forest. In the middle were ordinary people who were still in shock, and on the periphery were mercenaries with alert expressions.
Many mercenaries had blood on their bodies, obviously having just experienced a massacre.
Angelo rode up to Luo Xi and said respectfully, "Lord Luo Xi, this place is already under the jurisdiction of Feng Xi City."
In the world of mercenaries, strength is used to determine hierarchy. After knowing that Luo Xi already possessed the strength of a knight, Angelo naturally changed his attitude and the way he addressed him.
After a pause, Angelo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We're safe now that we're here."
Some time ago, a plague broke out in Fengxi City, and after the plague, it was attacked by creatures from the Gray Ridge Mountains in the north.
The successive attacks turned this former capital of the Western Territory into a hot potato. In order to preserve their strength and fight for the domination of the Western Territory, several heirs of the Fernandi family left Fengxi City with their troops one after another.
Without the chaos caused by their gunfight, Fengxi City quickly restored order and became one of the few relatively safe places in the Kingdom of Karel.
"The illegitimate son of the Fernandi family is much better than the other Fernandi." Angelo said with emotion.
Due to the departure of other Fernandies, Carol, who had absolutely no chance of succession, unexpectedly gained control of Windfall City.
Faced with internal and external troubles, this illegitimate son of the noble did not escape or panic, but quickly recruited soldiers, cleared out banditry and crimes, controlled several strategic locations around Fengxi City, and so on.
It was also thanks to his calm operation that Fengxi City was able to get rid of chaos and restore calm and stability in such a short time.
'Carol?'
Listening to Angelo's sigh, the very polite young nobleman naturally came to Luo Xi's mind. At that time, he felt that this guy was a talent and he could seize the opportunity when it came.
'I don't know how he is doing. It must be very difficult to do so many things.'
I got along quite well with this little nobleman, Luo Xi, and was able to be promoted to knight thanks to the Knight's Breathing Technique he gave me.
"I have to pass by Fengxi City anyway, so I might as well meet him on the way into the city."
The purpose of Luo Xi's trip was to go to the human settlement in the Dark Forest controlled area, which was the area north of the Gray Ridge Mountains, and Windfall City was the only way through.
In the evening, the caravan set up camp beside a stream.
Naturally, the mercenaries and other civilians were in charge of setting up camp. After all, there were only a few knights in the entire Red Wolf Mercenary Group, and there was not even a single knight in the current team. Luo Xi could be said to be the possessed guard in this team.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Luo Xi told Carol not to disturb him while he was practicing, and then he went into the tent to do magic research.
He had been itching to try out the necromancy spell that he had been looking forward to for a long time.
"rustle."
In the tent, several cold and stiff corpses were lying naked on the open ground. Luo Xi, wearing a bird-beak mask, was holding a dagger and processing various parts of the corpses.
Blood splattered everywhere, and from time to time there were bursts of grinding sounds as daggers scraped across bones. The scene looked extremely horrific and perverted.
It would be a lot of fun if someone broke into the tent at this time. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Luo Xi set up a barrier spell around the tent, which could effectively block the smell, sound, etc. inside, so that he could know in advance if someone was approaching.
"Completed one effort to process the corpse, time point +3 days."
Soon, Luo Xi finished dealing with a corpse.
This was the body of a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, the daughter of a businessman in this convoy.
When the merchant was attacked by bandits before, he saw that the situation was not good and fled with his personal guards and family. However, he was still caught up by the bandits and hacked to death in the woods. They were the ones that Luo Xi saw being pecked by crows before.
In some ways, the girl was lucky. The bandits were busy besieging the convoy and had no time to do anything to her. Otherwise, a young girl like her would have to go through a lot of torture if she fell into the hands of these bandits. And because of this, the girl's body was well preserved. Except for a pierced heart, there was no other damage. So Luo Xi decisively chose it as his experimental material.
"Two dead soul grasses, one drop of soul solution."
Luo Xi put some auxiliary materials prepared in advance into the girl's body. They were all ordinary materials collected on the road.
Then he drew runes all over the girl's body, and finally picked her up and placed her on a magic circle that had been drawn in advance. Luo Xi's magic preparations were completed.
Next is the moment to witness the miracle!
Standing next to the magic circle, Luo Xi raised one hand and bent his five fingers into claws.
Staring at the corpse in front of him, he slowly recited an obscure spell: "The undead wandering in the dark land. The souls who have forgotten their way home."
“Hoohoo.”
As the spell was chanted, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up from the tent and gathered in Luo Xi's palm. Then, with a "bang" sound, a ball of faint blue flame ignited in Luo Xi's palm.
This is the soul flame, a special substance between the soul and the spirit. It is a bridge between the virtual and the real and drives the energy of the dead.
Holding the ball of fire, Luo Xi turned his palm over, and the fire in his hand immediately fell on the corpse in front of him like water.
A strange scene happened.
These dark blue flames clearly had no temperature, but after falling on the corpse, a series of 'puffing' sounds were heard, and the girl's body actually began to melt little by little, within a few breaths.
The originally delicate skin and flesh disappeared without a trace, leaving only a white skeleton in its place.
When the last character of the spell fell, the dark blue flames all over the body quickly rushed into the skull of the skeleton and burned with a sizzling flame.
at the same time.
With a "click!"
The skeleton that had been lying motionless slowly stood up.
