Chapter 232: The gardener profession misled me!

After walking around Shadow Town, Rhodes found out a lot of useful information.

For example, many of those foreign souls come from polluted planes. Because the power of decay corrodes everything, many lives are difficult to survive, making those planes a paradise for the undead.

Some people say that it is because the power of the God of the Dead expanded too quickly that the Sun God launched the Divine Kingdom War to stop the continued spread of undead creatures.

Some people even say that the polluting power comes from the God of the Dead, who wants to take the opportunity to annex all planes. Otherwise, why are only the Undead and a few special races unaffected?
Rhodes felt that what they said made some sense.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the God of the Dead's rampant expansion and ruthlessness that the Sun and Moon Gods attacked at the same time, severely injuring the God of Death and putting him into a deep sleep.

This is also the most reasonable inference at present, and it can also explain why there is a scene of the sun and the moon flying in the sky in the Abyss of Death.

There was just one thing Rhodes didn't understand.

You know, according to the rumors, the three gods are all top-level gods, and their levels should not be much different. Besides, it was two against one, so how could the Moon Goddess disappear?
So he remained skeptical about this speculation and felt that it was not that simple.

another thing.

It's news about the new lord who took over Shadow Town.

On the way back, Rhodes heard from passers-by that he was a subordinate of the zombie ancestor, one of the three demigods under the God of Death.

There are three major systems in the Death Abyss: Skeletons, Zombies, and Wrathful Souls, which are further divided into many categories.

The new lord was actually a vampire, and was a subordinate of the original zombie.

So when walking on the street, you can often see many pale and shriveled figures passing by, forming a new guard army with the previous skeletons, which looks quite scary.

“We have to find a way to make money.”

Walking down the street, Rod muttered to himself.

The currency of the Death Abyss is the same as that of the Dream Forest. It is a crystal condensed from soul power. It is the only thing he has found out that can be converted into magic power.

Although he can now mobilize dark elements to cast spells, mobilizing elements to construct magic circles still consumes magic power.

The magic power stored in a magic puppet is limited. Even if not much is needed, it will eventually run out.

"I should have drawn a few more dark elements when drawing the magic conversion array..."

Rhodes sighed helplessly and crossed the street back to his residence.

Just as she was about to enter the house, she saw the little girl and her father in the yard next door, trying to cast magic, and a gray magic circle appeared in front of her.

"What are you doing?" Rhodes walked over and asked.

"Oh, my benefactor, you are back. I am teaching the girl how to summon the contracted undead." The man said with a smile.

There are two types of undead summoned by necromancy magic, ordinary undead and contracted undead, which are simply temporary workers and long-term workers.

Because the summoned undead can only last for a period of time before automatically dissipating, only the undead that sign a contract can exist for a long time.

Therefore, when they are lucky enough to summon powerful undead, necromancers will generally use contract magic to keep them by their side. For example, those powerful undead bone dragons are definitely the best contract objects.

It can be said.

The strength of the contracted undead determines the strength of a necromancer, because it often represents his highest combat power.

"Contract with the undead? Have you summoned the right undead?" Rhodes asked.

"No." The man shook his head helplessly, "I tried several times and all I got were the lowest grade skeletons."

As if in response to his words, the magic circle in front of the girl suddenly lit up, and a skinny skeleton crawled out from the ground tremblingly, holding a bone stick in his hand, which looked like it would fall apart at any time.

【Skeleton Soldiers lv1】

"..."

Good guy.

This is no longer weak.

He is even worse than a small fry and is destined to be cannon fodder.

"Daddy, big brother, can you guys look at this?"

The girl looked over inquiringly.

The man opened his mouth, not knowing how to start, but finally said, "Let's switch to another one. Maybe the next one will be able to summon a more powerful one."

"That's it."

The girl was obviously disappointed, but she still obediently dismissed the little skeleton and continued to close her eyes and try to cast the spell.

Ordinary residents like them don't seek for a very powerful contracted undead, they just need one that is strong enough to help carry things.

As for fighting, don't expect it, that is exclusive to big shots and geniuses.

Looking at the girl who was still working hard, the man sighed softly: "If it really doesn't work, we can only pay someone to help. I heard that the guy next door asked a necromancer for help a few days ago and successfully contracted a mutant skeleton with great strength."

"Can you make money by helping others contract undead?"

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Rhodes immediately became excited.

"Yes, there are necromancers coming to the town every month to help children of appropriate age to contract with the undead. But the price is a bit high. An ordinary undead like me costs five soul crystals, and a mutant undead is even more expensive, costing fifty soul crystals."

As the man spoke, he called over the skeleton that was moving things in the distance. It was also his current contracted skeleton.

【Skeleton Civilian lv5】

Rhodes glanced at the information of the skeleton and asked, "What are mutant undead?"

"They are mutated individuals with more abilities than ordinary undead, such as an extra weapon, stronger defense, faster speed, etc. The most popular ones should be wizard-type undead, but I prefer the strong ones."

Ordinary residents like them have no hope of ever being able to reach the first level and fight like those big shots.

Therefore, being strong and able to work is the most ideal standard, and mage-type undead are not very suitable for them.

Moreover, the undead who are less than the first level have very limited magic skills, such as weakness and fatigue, which can't play much of a role at all.

But to Rhodes' ears, it had a completely different meaning.

Although he doesn't know how to help others summon powerful undead, he can graft them!
Even the weakest undead, he can use grafting magic to synthesize a more powerful individual, isn't that the same as mutated undead?
Thinking of this, he said, "Maybe I can help create a more powerful undead. Do you want to try?"

"Really?" The man's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know Rhodes' specific strength, since he could contract such a powerful skeleton hound, he must not be an ordinary person.

He immediately said excitedly: "As long as the benefactor can help, I can agree to any request!"

"That's not necessary. Just give me five soul crystals."

"Okay, I'll get ready right now!"

Five soul crystals are the normal market price. The man was prepared and hurried back to the house to search for them.

At this time, the girl had finished casting the spell. After a flash of light, she summoned out a skeleton soldier.

Before she could get disappointed, she heard Rhode beside her say, "Summon another one, don't dismiss this one yet."

"Oh."

The girl didn't understand, but out of trust in Rhodes, she continued to cast the spell and soon summoned another skeleton soldier holding a dagger.

Ok……

Talent is something that not everyone has.

Looking at the two soldiers who were almost identical except for their weapons, Rhode knew that he probably couldn't summon any more powerful ones.

He didn't force it. After looking around and making sure there was no one around, he calmed down and cast grafting magic on the two skeleton soldiers.

And he was careful, using dark elements to cover the life force and completely isolate the breath, making it look like he was casting high-level undead magic.

All of a sudden.

The black light comes on.

The two skeleton soldiers were covered by a magic circle, and their bodies and soul fire began to merge rapidly. The gray bones gradually turned white, and the soul fire became stronger.

The biggest change was that the bone stick and dagger slowly merged with the skeleton's arms, becoming scimitar-like weapons attached to the arms. The body also became taller and looked majestic.

The man who heard the noise ran out of the house, just in time to see Rhodes who had finished casting the spell and the tall skeleton standing in front of him. His eyes widened.

"This... was this done by my benefactor?!"

Compared with his skeleton servants, the undead in front of him was much more powerful. It was even more powerful than the one that the kid next door asked someone to help summon. Just standing there, he could feel a strong sense of oppression.

"It's actually a skeleton!"

The man ran over in shock.

You have to know that white bones are a symbol of the first level, and are many times more powerful than gray bones.

Although the skeleton in front of him had not turned completely white, it was far from being comparable to the gray skeleton.

Moreover, it is a mutant skeleton that comes with its own weapons, so the price is at least ten times higher!
"Okay, let's try and see if we can make a contract."

Rhodes glanced at the skeleton's information.

[Skull Fusion Beast lv9]

It just so happened that she was stuck at the first level, which did not exceed the girl's mental endurance limit.

"Thank you, big brother!"

The girl was obviously very fond of this majestic skeleton, and immediately began to cast a spell on the skeleton according to the contract magic her father taught her.

The man stood aside and watched, very nervous.

fortunately.

With Rod by my side, the whole process went very smoothly.

In less than half a minute, the girl successfully established the contract and obtained her first contracted undead.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much!"

Looking at the skeleton standing obediently beside the girl, the man was delighted and quickly ran back to get out fifty more soul crystals and handed them to Rhodes.

This is his half life savings, but it’s worth it in exchange for a mutated undead!

"It's five dollars, so the rest is just my rent for living here."

Rhodes picked up the five soul crystals and put them away, without asking for more.

"This...that's okay."

Seeing that he said so, the man did not act pretentiously. After thanking him profusely, he came to the girl to check her contracted undead.

Seeing this, Rhodes did not disturb them. He turned around and took the dog back to the other side of the house and tried to absorb the energy in the soul crystal.

"Hope it's useful."

He was feeling very uneasy.

After all, when he was in the Dream Forest, he couldn't absorb soul crystals, and could only use them to replenish magic power at most.

I don’t know if it’s because his soul is special, but even Augla and the others said that his soul level is too high and ordinary soul power is useless.

To put it bluntly, there is no way to gain experience by absorbing soul power.

The gardening profession misled me!

Swah——

There was a flash of light.

The energy in the soul crystal was integrated into the magic puppet. The originally dim magic stone on its body gradually became full, and the magic power was restored to one tenth at once.

"It's really useful!"

Rhodes was overjoyed. After being here for such a long time, he finally solved the problem of magic power supply.

He immediately took out the remaining crystals and continued to absorb them.
