Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 9 Self-destruction
"Summoning the Dead", slowly reporting my innate skills to the dead old man, I also accepted my fate. It's okay to be unhappy in real life, but I didn't expect to be a bad luck in the virtual world. Afeng, Afeng, it's not that I don't want to help you as a brother, I really want to kill the enemy, but I can't save the situation, I can only sigh!
"What, it's really 'Summoning of the Dead', are you sure?" The old man's expression immediately became nervous, and he asked again.
It's over. If there is anything worse than running into the god of death, it must be running into a hard-of-hearing god of death. This damn old man, his ears are not working well, why doesn't he retire and go home to rest? In this state, how can he fight against those bright gods? The boss is not doing his job well, and it is us, the younger brothers, who are implicated. He is immortal, how can we survive?
"Aren't you a god? Can't you check my information yourself? Don't tell me you don't have this ability." If I can't even do this, then I, as the boss, am such a failure.
"Of course you can, but according to the rules set by the gods, we must respect the personal privacy of players. We cannot use the power of gods on ordinary people unless it is necessary. So unless you authorize us, otherwise..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, I'll just show you." He kept whining and nagging, and the more you looked at him, the less godly he looked.
A dark light flashed in the old man's eyes, and I suddenly felt as if I was being seen through. My heart went wild and I felt uncomfortable. No wonder they were forbidden to use it indiscriminately, the side effects were too obvious.
The old man let out a "tsk tsk" of amazement, then stared at me with shining eyes, as if he had found a treasure. "Genius, what a genius! I am indeed wise and discerning. I am extraordinary from the very beginning. I discovered a talented and qualified guy like you to promote my lineage of necromancers. I have a chance to master the ultimate summoning of the undead. I will be able to hold a banquet on earth soon, haha!"
Facing the hysterical old man, I was too lazy to say anything more. Let him be crazy, I want to be clear-minded. I should quickly complete the remaining procedures and go wherever I need to go, as long as I can stay away from him.
"Old man... Oh, Lord Death, if you have anything else to ask of me, please tell me right away. I can't always monopolize your office time and waste your precious office time. There may be people waiting in line to see you. Don't be too selfish. Give others more opportunities, right?"
The old man finally regained his composure and groaned for a moment, "Well, what you said makes sense. In order to fight against those hypocritical and self-righteous guys, I must seize the time to recruit my followers and quickly expand the ranks of undead wizards in the human world. If there are more guys like you, the day when my undead lineage will flourish will not be far away."
You're just a bunch of bullshit. I'd be surprised if I believed you! You're still making progress. I'm already happy that you can keep your life and not die so often. The Church of Light is such a powerful force. I won't go crazy with you in the fight against them.
"You have to remember that in the eyes of most secular people, we the Undead are an evil existence, especially the Church of Light in the Western Continent, who regard us as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, and will kill us if they see us. So you must be careful in your activities in the human world. Before you have powerful power, you must try your best to hide your identity as a necromancer and be careful to avoid people from the Church of Light. Fortunately, you are in the Eastern Continent, and the influence of the Church of Light has not yet expanded. Before players reach the fifth-level profession, those priests and knights of light can only stay in the church and cannot move freely. As long as you do not actively enter the churches in various cities, they cannot pose a threat to you..."
"Wait, did you just say that the Church of Light also exists in the current Eastern Continent?"
"Yes, but the continents haven't started communicating with each other yet, so they are just a decoration, just for show, and can't move freely for the time being. But you still have to stay away from those places as much as possible. Their holy light power is the nemesis of us undead. If you are killed by other powers, only your body will be destroyed, and your soul will go to the 'dead space' to wait for resurrection. But if you are killed by holy light, it is possible that your soul will be destroyed as well."
"What would happen if the soul was destroyed?" An idea came to my mind, as if I saw a ray of hope, and I asked impatiently.
"The consequences of having your soul destroyed are very serious. It means that all your previous efforts will be in vain. You will lose everything and have to reincarnate and start your life all over again in Tianxia."
"Yeah, that's great, I can finally be free!" I couldn't help but cheer, accept the baptism of holy light, welcome the destruction of my soul, and start all over again. What could make me more satisfied than such an ending? I want to be a great knight, guard Afeng, and fight the evil "Playboy" to the end!
"You old fool, don't say any more. I have decided not to be a necromancer. You should find someone else to spread your greatness among the people!"
"Why?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? The Church of Light is so powerful, how can I defeat them? Besides, I have to hide my identity secretly. What's the point of being a human being if it's so hard?"
"But you've already signed the soul contract, you can't cancel it, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Isn't there the Church of Light? They are stuck in the church and can't get out, so I should be able to go in. Under the illumination of the holy light, my body and soul will be sublimated. Even if I fail once, it doesn't matter. I can try a second and third time until I succeed. Then, I can reincarnate and be reborn as a human being. I don't think I will be so lucky to meet you again after my rebirth."
“This…that…”
The old man was dumbfounded and could not say anything for a while. Humph, NPC is NPC. Although it is endowed with intelligence close to that of a human by the computer, it is still far behind the human brain. In the end, it still could not defeat me. Haha, no wonder so many people try their best to defeat others. It turns out that winning feels so good.
The old man finally understood, and came to my side in a flash. He put his arm around my shoulder with a smile on his face, "Little brother, let's talk it over. Why are you making a decision so quickly? Think about it more. What's wrong with being a necromancer? The benefits are good, the salary is high, and even if you die accidentally, you won't feel depressed. It's much better than many professions."
I've had enough and really don't want to waste my time dealing with him anymore. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I've made up my mind. There's no point in saying more. Just tell me how to leave."
"Brother, don't be so anxious. You have to wait six hours for your resurrection. It's still early. Look, we've been here for so long, and I didn't let you rest. I have some top-quality tea here. Sit down and have some tea, and we'll talk slowly."
In the blink of an eye, a sofa and a tea table appeared beside me. There was a set of tea sets on the table. Everything was arranged in a very high-end manner. The old man even brewed a pot of tea for me himself.
I hesitated for a moment, and thought that it was true. Anyway, I still had to wait for a while before I could be resurrected. Instead of going to other places and enduring loneliness, I might as well enjoy it here first. The environment was good, there was tea to serve, and there were people to chat with. Everything was free, which was definitely much better than the "Resurrection Corridor". The dead old man was just trying to use a delaying tactic and try to persuade me. As long as I was determined and let him talk eloquently, I would be determined not to be moved, and he would not be able to do anything to me. When the time of death came, I would raise my hand and say "bye-bye", and I would be able to get rid of evil and return to the big family of light.
Thinking of this, I took the teacup with peace of mind, turned around and sat on the sofa, squinted my eyes, smelled the tea, sipped it, and left a lingering fragrance in my mouth. It felt so good !
