Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 10 Persuasion
The old man sat opposite me, poured himself a cup of tea, and took two sips. "How is it? This is the best Maojian tea I have collected. I don't take it out for guests. It tastes good, right?"
I gently put down the teacup, calmly saying, "It's just so-so. I don't know much about the tea ceremony, so I can't say anything good about it."
The old man didn't take it seriously, "Do you think we are a symbol of evil, so you refuse to become a necromancer?"
"That's not the case. As far as I'm concerned, there is no distinction between high and low professions and all races are equal. I have no intention of discriminating against the undead. It's just that your enemies are too powerful. You may not care, but a humble person like me is not capable of fighting against them. I want to live an upright life and don't want to hide in a dark corner all my life and not be able to raise my head." This is my true feelings, not just something I said casually to please the old man.
The old man slapped his forehead and acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "After all this fuss, it turns out that you have no confidence in the strength of the Undead Wizards. Alas, this is all my fault. I wanted you to establish a sense of crisis, so as to encourage you to continue to learn and improve, and strive for self-improvement, so that you can become a great Undead Holy Mage as soon as possible. I was only concerned with exaggerating the strength of the enemy, but forgot to introduce you to the various advantages of the Undead Wizards. You should know that our Undead Clan is the backbone of the counterattack against the Light Clan. Our own strength is also very strong, enough to fight against them."
I didn't comment. I was free anyway, so I just listened to kill time. I thought back to when Afeng was talking to me, I was also a loyal listener.
"The Light God Clan, also known as the Angel Clan in the human world, is actually just some hairy birdmen. They are the natural enemies of our Undead Clan. Many people believe that the power of light restrains our Undead power and that we are at an absolute disadvantage. This understanding is absolutely biased. The so-called mutual promotion and mutual restraint are all relative. Light can restrain darkness, but conversely, darkness can also restrain light. This depends on the strength comparison of both sides. The Holy Power of Light can destroy our Undead Clan, but our Undead Magic can also make those birdmen never reincarnate. I can't do anything to the Angel Clan's big boss, God of Heaven. Michael can't do anything to me, otherwise he would have led his lackeys to raid my lair long ago, and I would not have been able to expand my team and recruit believers here. It's just that most people in the world believe that justice will surely defeat evil, and Michael has established his bright and righteous image first, and under the influence of rumors, it has led to the current situation. In fact, it all comes down to the fact that I am too honest, I don't use so many insidious means, I have too few believers in the world, and I haven't established any power, so I was defeated one by one by those despicable guys, which seriously damaged my glorious image. "
"That's the grudges between you gods, it's none of my business. The fact is that the believers of the angels in the world now have an absolute advantage, and there is no room for the undead to survive. The Church of Light has a large number of people and powerful people. Why should I fight them? I'm just going to die ."
"You can't say that. A powerful undead wizard is not just an ordinary strong man. In fact, he represents a powerful undead army, which is powerful enough to compete with those lackeys of the Church of Light. Why does the Church of Light kill undead wizards on sight? It's not to eliminate the evil in the world and maintain peace as they claim. Are they that great? It's because they are afraid that you will become a threat to them after you become powerful, so they have to act as soon as possible to strangle you, the future holy wizards of the undead, in the cradle."
This is a rather novel statement. I was somewhat interested in it, and couldn't help but perk up and listen to the old man continue.
The old man picked up the teacup, took two more sips, and slowed down his tone. "Honestly speaking, as a member of the Undead Wizard, you are still very fragile now, and you are no match for them at all, but you must not underestimate yourself and ignore your huge potential. You are the representatives of the Undead in the human world, and you have an important mission. Behind you, you have the support of powerful forces in the 'Dead Space' headed by me. You are definitely not fighting alone. To understand this clearly, you must understand the professional advantages of the Undead Wizard."
"You don't need to complete any specific tasks to change your job to a necromancer . As long as you haven't officially changed your job, you will have a chance to see me once you die. The chance is actually very small. It can be said that everyone who can come here to see me is extremely lucky."
Really? Why do I feel like seeing you is my misfortune?
"As long as you sign a soul contract with me and go through a simple ceremony, you will become a noble apprentice necromancer. This profession has obvious advantages over other professions. First of all, after death, the soul will come to the 'Dead Space', instead of having to go to the 'Resurrection Corridor' to endure loneliness. Your innate skill is 'Dead Summoning', which means that you can also master another magic 'Soul Contract', which is the basic skill for casting 'Dead Summoning'. In the 'Dead Space', you can use the 'Soul Contract' magic to sign a soul contract with the undead creatures there. This will not only subdue a large number of subordinates, but also improve your spiritual power. You should know that although the 'breathing' of martial arts professions and the 'meditation' of magic professions also have the function of increasing the upper limit of spiritual power, they require long periods of sitting still and concentrating on hard work. How can it be as convenient and fast as ours, killing two birds with one stone? This means that there is a lot more time for practice than other professions. Isn't there an old saying among you humans? Oh, by the way, time is money, and time is life!"
"In the future, you can also use the magic of 'Summoning the Undead' when fighting, and summon the undead creatures that have signed a contract with you to obey your orders and help you fight. The stronger you are, the more powerful the undead creatures you summon will be. The terrifying dark knights and the powerful bone dragons will all bow down at your feet. When you are strong enough, you can even release the ultimate summoning magic 'Death's Banquet'. I, an old man, will show my true self and personally help you deal with the enemy, unless the opponent can summon the Angel of God Michael. If it's any other birdman, even the Holy Angel Gabriel, I won't take it seriously. Since ancient times, might is right. By then, you can rule the world as you please. Who dares to think that you are the symbol of evil and show the slightest disrespect to you?"
I couldn't help but nod secretly. That's true. After dying, practicing in the "Dead Soul Space" is really killing two birds with one stone. The benefits are self-evident. It can help you grow faster than other professions. Especially for a rookie like me who is prone to dying, it is definitely the best choice. As long as you are strong enough, you are not afraid of going anywhere. You have a lot of people, and I have a lot of undead brothers. When the time comes, I can help whoever I want, beat whoever I want, travel the world, and take revenge. It's so cool.
Seeing that I was interested, the old man dropped another bombshell, "Also , the Necromancer is a special hidden profession, so you can switch to a combat profession to hide your true identity. This means that you can have two combat professions, and the result of multiplying them together is definitely not as simple as '1+1=2'. For your enemies, you will definitely be a nightmare."
I was also suddenly moved. This was definitely beyond my imagination. I heard from Afeng that in every game there are always some lucky players who will get hidden professions and have two professions. These players have become top masters without exception. I never thought that I could be lucky enough to become one of the legends in "Tianxia". I am so excited. The dream of becoming a master is finally not far away.
The old man observed the other's expression and delivered a decisive blow. "I have a pet egg of a Hell Skeleton Horse here. It can be hatched after dripping blood to recognize the owner. It will give birth to a Hell Skeleton Horse and become your mount. You should know that except for the Knight who has the 'Ride' skill and can have a mount, other professions can only have a mount if they get a pet with the attribute of being able to be ridden. Good pets are already rare, and excellent pets with the attribute of being able to be ridden are the best of the best! Moreover, the Hell Skeleton Horse is a growth and evolution pet. It can practice with you and become stronger and stronger. There is also a certain chance that it can evolve into the ultimate pet of the Undead, the 'Hell Dragon'. It is definitely a good helper for you to fight and practice. As long as you sign this contract again, it will belong to you."
Another contract was placed in front of me, along with a round pet egg about one meter in diameter, black with a hint of red. The contract only had a few simple sentences, which read: I swear to devote my whole heart and soul to the Holy Spirit of the Undead, to become a loyal believer of the Supreme God of Death, and to never regret it in this life, and to remain faithful until death! It sounded strange, as if it was almost like a contract of sale.
