Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Looking at the stack of papers that Dr. Booker took out, Zhuang Xuteng shook his head slowly, but didn't take it, but said: "It's useless for you to do this. Shadowing spells and other things are taught in schools. You Nor is it the only one who can provide intelligence information. Don't you know what kind of energy they can get you here and protect you until now? They want you to prove sincerity, not ability. In my opinion, ability can Create and buy, so sincerity is the most precious."

"Just make me a disguise, I still can't survive after I go out!" Dr. Booker waved the stack of papers, almost stuffing them directly into Zhuang Xuteng's arms, and said, "These, these are all worth reading , that can’t be taught in schools.”

"Don't pester me, I'm not the one who makes the decisions." Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and almost knocked the stack of papers away.Seeing Booker's flustered look, he finally sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll pass it up to you, but I don't guarantee whether it will change. What do you want from the result of the disguise, such as wanting to follow the change?" A celebrity's plastic surgery can now be brought up."

Booker just wanted to avoid being recognized, saying that he had no other requirements at all.Looking at his appearance, Zhuang Xuteng was basically sure that he was honest, and the rest depended on whether the documents he handed in this time were valuable.

The implantation of disguise is not to lie to him.Zhuang Xuteng learned a lot from the doctors and implant salesmen there during his covert protection mission in the Second Hospital, including various basic implant surgery services.Booker definitely can't go to the Second Hospital for plastic surgery. Regular hospitals need to register their identity, keep information about their appearance, etc., which will definitely expose him.But Dr. Jian Hei at the plastic surgery hospital didn't have so many procedures, as long as he brought Booker and the surgery fee, he didn't need to worry about anything else.

After returning home, Zhuang Xuteng started to check the information he got this time after replacing the meat buns with new food and water.He looked very carefully and focused, and Roubao noticed this, put down the toy in his mouth, tiptoed to Zhuang Xuteng's feet and sat down, rolled up, and put his head against his leg.

"Good..." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed the meat bun with his feet, and when he saw the cloth mouse being thrown aside, he had a plan.He released the wraith servant and ordered it to perform repetitive tasks: when the cloth was placed on the ground within one meter of Zhuang Xuteng, pick it up and throw it out.

So the meat bun has something to do.It doesn't understand what's going on with the Wraith Servant, it just doesn't want its toys to fly around.The snow leopard pounced around the house, catching the cloth mouse everywhere, and then brought it back to Zhuang Xuteng.After tossing and tossing for a long time, Roubao finally discovered a rule: as long as he doesn't loosen his mouth or hug the cloth mouse, it won't lose it.

After absorbing enough resentment, Zhuang Xuteng can finally upgrade the servant of the resentment, let it leave him, and do some simple work.The servant's weight-bearing capacity has been slightly improved, and it still follows the rule that the farther the distance is, the smaller the strength will be.This reduction has a lower bound, related to the total amount of grievances that make up a thrall.If a humanoid servant with the same size as Zhuang Xuteng is made, no matter how far away it is, it will have a load of about two kilograms.

Don't underestimate the load of these two kilograms, it can already support many things, such as transporting grenades, installing bombs, opening and closing doors, making noises or teasing snow leopards.At present, Zhuang Xuteng can create a wraith servant in the shape of a cow or a horse at one time, which can carry a load of eight kilograms and can move within 2000 meters around him.As he continues to improve his spell ability, the servant will become stronger and stronger, until he becomes a demon spirit that can switch between reality and reality, has his own simple consciousness, and can release the attacking spirit of wraith strike.

Martial arts and spells walk on two legs, Zhuang Xuteng has already made up his mind to do so.He sought knowledge from Dr. Booker's articles, and those about shadow spells inspired him a lot.Even if these spells cannot be cast without the cooperation of the corresponding implants, Zhuang Xuteng can still benefit from spell composition and spell thinking.

A certain spell should be classified into a certain category, what function it should achieve, what its shadow rune should look like, and what kind of implants it needs to cooperate.This knowledge seems to be superficial, but there are laws in it, and it has been slowly explored by many people for a long time.Although Dr. Booker didn't talk about these laws—his specialty is deciphering ancient languages, and he can only use a few of them in spells, and he is not a person who specializes in spells—but Master Lich has talked about the overall laws and laws of necromancy. Functional layout.Using the knowledge in that set of theory to understand the setting of the shadow spell, there is no discomfort at all.

"The origin of the knowledge about shadows is the exploration of the Shadow Realm, which is the hometown of the Lich Master. So the origin of the shadow magic is also the spells of the Lich Master?" Zhuang Xuteng recalled the content of the history class, and quickly found out explained. "Shadow Followers are the resources of Shadow Realm. Are these resources left over from spells? From this perspective, Shadow Follower spells are the modified version of Shadow Realm spells in this world."

Not all spells require shadow implant support, it just depends on where their source base is.Most of the spells originating from the Shadow Realm that require the support of shadow implants, but do not require implants, can be found in ancient times, that is, the time before the gods left.To verify this conjecture, he still needs to wait for Morgana to bring him a copy of the ancient magic guide.

After reading too much, he still felt sleepy. Zhuang Xuteng didn't bother to go to bed, so he fell asleep on the table, and soon snored.At this moment, his left hand trembled rapidly, and the Wraith Servant ran out by himself, and slowly condensed in the air, forming the shape of the Lich Master.

"It has absorbed so much grievance, the progress is really surprising." It quietly looked at Zhuang Xuteng who was sleeping on the table, shook his head slowly, and said, "I didn't expect you to work so hard, it's really hard work. What are you looking at? Why? Won't you go to bed and sleep?"

The Wraith Servant of the Lich Master slowly bent down and stretched out his hand. It can be seen that its movements are extremely jerky.In fact, it's not just his movements that are slow, Master Lich's perception ability is also very poor, his effective vision is less than one meter, and his hearing can't distinguish many details.

It's all because the Wraith Servant's level is not high enough, and his function is not strong enough.The Lich Master can wait slowly, but it has not experienced the outside world for a long time, and the curiosity in his heart is hard to suppress.It is not interested in what posture Zhuang Xuteng sleeps in, but only interested in the articles under his body.He vaguely saw some spell runes, which were somewhat similar to the necromancy he was familiar with.It wants to know what it is, is Zhuang Xuteng studying spells?
But before it could move Zhuang Xuteng away, a white shadow flew across, and the Wraith servant was smashed to pieces.Roubao licked his paws, feeling infinitely happy: I finally killed you, the guy who stole my toy!
The shattered Wraith servant turned into resentment, and was reabsorbed by Zhuang Xuteng, and transformed and returned to its place again according to the setting of the magic circle.If Zhuang Xuteng was awake and took the initiative to control, these tasks would be completed soon.It's just that he is still sleeping now, and the speed of the magic circle is very slow. Before all the grievances are sorted out, the Lich Master can't appear again.

Roubao stared at it for a while, but nothing strange came out.It carefully let go of the cloth mouse and put it on the ground, and sure enough the mouse did not move.Completely relieved, it arched forward, got between Zhuang Xuteng's feet, and began to sleep with its belly up.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't know this episode happened at all, he just felt numb on one side of his face, and it was the result of sleeping on his stomach.He checked his phone first. There was no call from Master, Brother Dao, or Lucy, which meant that the retirement ceremony had not yet been called, so he made himself some delicious food, and then continued to read Dr. Booker's article.

After reading it all in one breath, Zhuang Xuteng has already pasted many marks on the paper.This is the habit of the elder brother and younger sister when they were studying. Zhuang Xuteng always messed up the stickers, but not anymore.He read it a second time according to the notation, and at the same time began to take notes, excerpting what he thought was important.In this way, Zhuang Xuteng was busy all day again, and when he looked up again, it was late at night, and he was very hungry.

"Finally finished reading all of them. The new brain is so useful..." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his head, yawning and preparing food for himself and Roubao.Roubao took the initiative to come over with a rice bowl in his mouth, put it at Zhuang Xuteng's feet, then stepped back and stood up, lying on the stove as a supervisor.

"You really don't have any troubles, you are so good!" Zhuang Xuteng stroked Snow Leopard's head, and threw her a piece of washed steak.Although it was only synthetic meat, the snow leopard ate it very happily, swallowing it in three or five mouthfuls.After that, it felt that it deserved a little more for having beaten away the bad guys in the house, so it came to pester Zhuang Xuteng again.

"Don't make trouble, wait obediently." Zhuang Xuteng flicked it on the forehead.Since we are at home today, let’s prepare the snow leopard’s meal well, and make mixed food for it according to the recommended recipe, including carbohydrates, protein, fiber and other nutrients.But Zhuang Xuteng boiled six eggs for himself, added soup with rice made of legion fruit juice, tomato sauce, meat sauce, and popping instant food glue sticks, and sent himself off.

The long-awaited message finally came. Brother Dao asked him to meet at the laundry tomorrow, and then go to the train station to pick up Master.Zhuang Xuteng must show his best condition, so he won't practice more tonight, so let's get a good sleep.Before going to bed, however, he would definitely pack up Booker's papers.

There are two safes in the room, one under the TV.One hides behind the wallpaper behind the microwave.Zhuang Xuteng packed the documents in a sealed bag, carefully removed the microwave oven, untied the trap connected to the palm fire, then lifted the wallpaper and opened the safe, putting all the documents from this time and the last time in it.

If someone does not know this process, he will pull the mechanism when he lifts the wallpaper, and the palm fire will burn the contents of the safe.Since the Lich Master can no longer directly consult his senses and experiences, Zhuang Xuteng must memorize and understand the knowledge by himself, and then relay it to the Lich Master.This was agreed when Master Lich was invited to rescue Dr. Booker. Zhuang Xuteng went to bed and went to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall at the same time to fulfill his promise.

"Although the memory has improved, I can't guarantee that it won't make mistakes, so I still have to keep it—although it is very dangerous to do so." Zhuang Xuteng said to the Lich Master: "If you think these things are in order and there is no problem, I will Destroy them as soon as possible."

"You can get spell information from him, which exceeded my expectations. He didn't show the state of a spellcaster. I thought he was just a librarian and a text researcher." The Lich Master held the spell with his hands Gill, looking at Zhuang Xuteng with interest, the light in his eye sockets flickered slightly. "By researching these spells, I'm sure I can batch convert necromantic spells into versions that can be used in this world. But..."

Zhuang Xuteng sat on the steps in front of the throne, nodded when he heard the words, and continued: "But shadow follower spells need the help of shadow follower implants, and how these spells work is not enough to look at the spells, it is best To actually experience it.”

"You're right, that's exactly what I thought." Master Lich tapped the armrest of the throne with his finger, and said, "At present we still have a contact person, Hill Lee, she is from the company, and She has already joined the exploration team. She has the potential of a spellcaster, maybe we can start from her."

Zhuang Xuteng thought about it and agreed.Hill Lee is indeed the best choice at the moment. She learns and uses spells. No matter how you look at it, she is a motivated performance and will not arouse suspicion.But Zhuang Xuteng is different. If he shows the ability to cast spells, the company will definitely be confused and investigate: Is the test machine broken back then, or did Zhuang Xuteng improve his spellcasting talent by some means?If it is the latter, Zhuang Xuteng will definitely be "invited" by the company to assist in the research, and Master Lich will definitely be exposed.

"But the question is, Hill has learned the spell, how can we know her experience? You see Dr. Booker, wanting him to say something is like squeezing toothpaste, that Hill Lee can have a good time ?”

"It's up to you," said the Lich Master. "The combination of corpse control spells and wraith servants can produce some interesting effects, and with your zombie physique, it's even more interesting. Lend your body to He, with my help, you can enter Hill Lee's body through the Wraith Servant. She only knows that she is demonstrating the spell, and she never imagined that you would feel the operation of the spell directly through her body."

Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment, and said, "That's not right! The combination of Wraith Servant and Corpse Control does have the effect of occupying the corpse, but it needs to be very close. Are you going to let Hill come over to meet me?"

"Yes, I have this plan." The Lich Master's eyes were shining, and his voice was a little excited. "It's been a long time since I felt the joy of spell energy flowing in my body and spells gradually forming. In addition to satisfying me, understanding the spells of this world will greatly speed up my recovery."

"Let's think about it in the long term." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "We can let Hill become a shadow spell user first, but we must be very cautious when we meet in reality. No matter how you say it, Hill is a member of the company, and is the most mysterious person." Members of the exploration team, it is said that the people there are the strongest in the company. Hill must be under strict protection and surveillance, meeting her...you don't want to send her here, do you?"

"That won't work." The Lich Master waved his hand and said, "I can bring her, but I can't send her back. If you send her back, I can't explain how she disappeared and reappeared."

"I have the same concern." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, and said, "At present, there is really no good way. We can only take one step at a time. Master Lich, in your world, is there any combination of martial arts and magic?" Very good experience?"

"In my world, spells are martial skills, so I can't help you in combining the two. I feel that you are doing very well now, and I can learn from you." Master Lich said a rare compliment, and then changed the topic Lead to an area of ​​concern: "I noticed that the amount of grievances has increased rapidly. What's going on?"

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his face, told his experience in the crematorium, and asked Master Lich if this was normal.

It was obviously just a very common question, and it would definitely not trouble a master of necromancy. Unexpectedly, the master lich was silent when asked.Its body is completely still, including the fire in the eyes that usually fluctuates according to thoughts and emotions, as if the pause button has been pressed.Zhuang Xuteng looked at it for a while and felt something was wrong, so he went up the steps and shook Master Lich.

"Oh? What's wrong with me?" Master Lich trembled a few times and adjusted his state with a long sigh. "In addition to necromancy, there is another category called illusion, and the combination of necromancy and illusion is shadow magic. If shadow follower is related to shadow magic, then it may have some necromancer effects, and also It is resentment. The negative energy of necromancy is harmful to living things, and illusion is easy to cause mental problems. You see, the addition of them is a side effect of shadows?"

"Oh, it makes sense." Zhuang Xuteng looked Master Lich up and down, and asked, "What I don't understand now is: why does such a question make you stunned?"

The Lich Master leaned back, raised his index finger and swayed it slowly, and said, "Stay still like a dead body. This is a normal phenomenon for undead. You just have little knowledge and made a fuss."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded brightly and apologized, but he did not agree with Master Lich's explanation in his heart.
