Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 27 The Butler's Trial
[Warning: trigger emergency battle]

"It's over, I want to be handsome and play myself into it."

After Wang Yue entered the hall, the door behind her was closed, and the surrounding windows were several meters high, so it was almost impossible to escape.

"Are you really going to defeat this monster?"

The prompt box of the skeleton butler popped up again in the center of the game interface.

[Skeleton Steward: It is indeed a fifth-order skeleton monster powerhouse, you have to find a way to get it done]

【grade:? ? 】

"Think of a way, that box of gold coins."

The butler on the opposite side is already approaching. Although it doesn't have a weapon in its hand, the human-shaped skeleton obviously has a certain amount of wisdom, and it is dozens of times more troublesome to deal with than [Scorching Larva].

A box of gold coins was taken out of the package and thrown on the ground. Wang Yue let the skeleton cannon fodder delay forward, and ran to the distant gate to distance herself.

Before his skeleton approached, the butler just raised his hand, and purple smoke shot out from its arm, smashing it to pieces like a giant snake.

[Elementary skeleton damage: 999 (crushed)]

【Your summoned object has died】

"No, shouldn't it be open to money?"

At present, the butler has no intention of stopping, and continues to press on.

Looking at the reminder of its elite template, plus its level of two question marks, Wang Yue retreated again and again, her back was already against the stone gate.

"It's too bad, I'll at least leave him with a wound before he dies."

Put on the [Dark Healing] effect on herself, and draw out the [Bone Spur of Pain], Wang Yue began to make the final struggle.

"Undead call."

This is already the 10th time he has summoned [Elementary Skeleton]. With the increase in the number of uses, the reading time has also changed from the initial 1 minute to 3 seconds.

The new cannon fodder came to him, and the two started sprinting towards the butler at the same time.

[Warning: Dark Torrent]

The same purple smoke hit Wang Yue again.

It seemed to be a dark attribute spell, and his own fire resistance was useless. With his blood volume less than 100, he was destined to be instantly killed.

"I lost it."

The newly strengthened weapon received special treatment when it first appeared on the stage. Anyway, the props would return to her after death and resurrection, so Wang Yue threw it away without hesitation.

【Damage caused: 1】

[Corrosion effect has taken effect]

"My life is worth it."

Wang Yue, who lost her weapon, opened her arms and closed her eyes to welcome the attack.

Dark energy has attack effects such as corroding the skin, piercing the bone, and piercing the heart. Wang Yue gritted her teeth and prepared to endure the pain for a moment.

"It seems... to block the perception?"

After waiting for three seconds, Wang Yue felt that there was no abnormality in her body.

In the next second, he heard the sound of skeletons falling apart.

When the bones stopped making noise, the sound of "cracking" coins came from my ears.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy stone door slid on the ground, and the sea breeze blew by his ears.

The salty smell of the sea wafted to his nostrils, and there was a slight smell of burning kerosene in the air.

"Isn't it an emergency battle?"

Wang Yue opened her eyes suspiciously.

In front of him, [Skeleton Steward] had already opened the box of gold coins.

The skeleton is counting money, its health bar has changed from red to yellow, and it will not attack for the time being.

"I've waited 100 years for a new owner."

Some people are blinded by money, but some skeletons regain their sanity because of money.

If it weren't for the steward's words, Wang Yue would have almost forgotten that she is the owner of the castle.

"That's right, you should be my steward now, tell me how to get close to the dragon in the castle."

The butler looked up at Wang Yue, but immediately lowered his head and started counting the money.

"Facing that dragon is too dangerous for you, and I won't let you pass."

[Mission Objective: The Trial of the Steward (0/3)]

[Mission Reward: Teleport Pocket Watch - Scale of Twilight]

The butler covered the box full of gold coins, then walked up to Wang Yue, and stretched out three bone fingers.

"Three trials, I will tell you what the dragon likes after I finish it."

"Okay, I accept the test."

After Wang Yue accepted it, the skeleton butler put down the gold coin in his hand.

I saw purple smoke wafting from the steward's body again, and after a burst of smoke blew across the gold coin treasure chest, the gold coins worth a city disappeared out of thin air.

"Black gold in front of me? This task is too tricky."

Although NPCs will release tasks that require gold coins to open, there are not many such expensive tasks.

In Wang Yue's design, a normal game player who upgrades to level 70 can own 20 gold coins. To get this 500 gold coins, [-] studio accounts need to be swiped day and night for a month.

"Prodigal, wasteful. When I get better with the housekeeper, I'll ask him where he hides all the money."

Now that the money has been paid, Wang Yue can only start the task.

"The first trial, kill it."

The butler walked up to the [Elementary Skeleton] that had just been defeated, and poured dark energy into the broken bones again.

Relying on this energy, the scrapped skeleton stood up again. The broken parts were connected together by purple light, and there was a long knife with condensed energy in his hand. Just by looking at it, he knew that it was no longer cannon fodder.

[Tier [-] Skeleton Soldier: Be careful with its weapon, its attack power is extremely strong, and its vitality has also been improved]

【Level: 10】

"God, come to me."

The door has been opened, and the dog eggs outside can come in and help.

After a period of rest, its health has fully recovered, and now both of them are in full strength, and it is no problem to deal with ordinary monsters two levels higher.

"Familiar taste."

When Goudan came out, the butler smelled his breath on him.

This breath was so similar that it even made it think Goudan was his child.

"The trial begins."

The butler retreated to the corner of the hall, and the blood bar of the summoned skeleton soldier turned red, and it immediately started attacking with a long knife.

"Men left and women right, we attack from both ends."

Before Wang Yue let Goudan attack, the anxious skeleton ran towards the enemy from the left, and Wang Yue had to attack with a weapon from the right.

"Forget it, men and women are equal, it's the same everywhere."

The two attacks landed at the same time, and the damage notification floated out at the same time.

[Dog eggs cause damage: 3]

[You cause damage: 16 (restraint)]

【Corrosion has taken effect】

The skeleton soldier waved sideways, Wang Yue blocked it with his rapier, and Goudan blocked it with his arm. Both of them were repelled, but they didn't suffer much damage.

[Damage received: 5 (block)]

"Darkness heals."

After the healing effect hung on Goudan, Wang Yue began to go around and attack the opponent's back.

The weakness of the skeleton soldier is similar to that of a human. The weakness is the back of the neck, the junction of the hand bones, leg bones and the main skeleton, which are all small-scale judgment points. If you want to hit it, you need a little luck.

Look at the dog's egg to pin down the enemy, wait until the opponent's knife is close to the enemy's back, and then stab the back with a sword.

[You cause damage: 32 (restraint) (weakness)]

"Hit in the heart."

The level 10 monster's blood volume has been greatly improved, with a total of 200 health points. After two rounds, the [Skeleton Soldier] has lost a quarter of its blood volume.

But the downside is that most of the damage is created by Wang Yue, Goudan does not yet have the ability to attract hatred, so the enemy began to shift all their attention to Wang Yue.

"Necromancer summons..."

Wang Yue tried to summon a skeleton and Goudan to scrape Sha Sha together, but was interrupted by the opponent's sudden attack. He took up the weapon hastily and failed to block it.

[Damage received: 10]

It was just a wave of the knife, and Wang Yue was thrown heavily towards the distant wall with the rapier.

"It hurts, it hurts."

[Warning: Savage collision]

Before Wang Yue got up, the skeleton soldier's skills had already been activated.

This is the warrior's second charge skill. After a period of fierce fighting, it can be activated and sprint towards the enemy again, and it will cause a stun effect.

"It's over, there's nothing I can do."

The skill took effect, and Wang Yue froze in place.

[Dizziness: Temporarily unable to act due to the effect of savage collision]

[Duration: 3 seconds]

The afterimage of the long knife was seen across the castle hall, and the skeleton soldier holding the weapon had already come to Wang Yue's side and slashed at him.
