I have a Synthesizer

Klein, feeling full and satisfied, couldn't help but marvel at the power of arcane mages. Self-sufficiency in food and drink – it was a true perpetual motion machine, not the fake kind.

Arcane mages truly deserved to be strategic-level talent resources sought after by both great empires.

Just as he was marveling at the convenience of arcane mages, danger suddenly arrived.

"Screech!"

A rusty iron sword pierced through the iron-protected window, heading straight for him, emitting a piercing scratching sound.

Immediately following that was the train emitting a "Screech!" of intense braking.

This time, Klein reacted quickly. He immediately grasped his amulet, ready to activate a shield to protect himself at any moment.

However, the rusty iron sword was already grabbed by Mila, who snapped it in two with a "Clang!" using all her strength.

Mila's strength astonished Klein. They were born of the same mother, so how could there be such a big difference?

"Enemy attack!"

A soldier guarding the train shouted, already drawing the longbow from his back and nocking an arrow.

After saying that, the warrior took the lead and rushed out.

After he rushed out, several passengers in the carriage also slightly changed their expressions when they heard the words 'necromancer'.

Without much hesitation, they also followed and rushed out.

These people were all formal professionals and understood very well what it meant to delay too long when facing a necromancer.

His little sister, Mila, also stood up at this time and said to Klein.

"You and Joe wait here, I'll go out."

"Ah? Hey!"

Klein was stunned and subconsciously called out to Mila, but didn't know what to say.

"What?" Mila was very anxious, she didn't want to waste time here.

"Be careful."

Klein's tone softened.

Mila glanced at her two older brothers and shook her head.

"Got it."

After Mila left, Klein looked out the window. The surroundings were already densely packed with skeletons, numbering at least a hundred.

"Bro, I'm going out for a bit too."

At this moment, the voice of the fourth child, Joe, surprised Klein somewhat.

"What trouble are you going to add now?"

Joe's talent was similar to his, belonging to the average kind. With effort, he could become a professional, but it was unlikely he'd achieve much.

But now, what was going on?

Joe didn't explain much and got up to leave, only giving Klein a mysterious smile, leaving him with a back view, and then departed.

Lilith across from them looked at the two merchants who had already hidden under the chairs next to them, then turned her head to look at Klein.

"Now, it's just the two of us left."

"Hmph!"

Lilith chopped a skeleton that had crawled in half with a hand blade.

Putting away her previous innocent appearance, she tilted her head slightly, extended a hand, and said to Klein.

"Mr. Klein, let's reacquaint ourselves. I'm Lilith-Anna. Perhaps we should help each other at this time."

This woman was indeed coming for him, but this time, Klein didn't refuse.

He also put away his lazy look, faced Lilith squarely, and finally extended his hand.

"Just call me Klein. How do we cooperate? Tell me the specifics?"

"Just follow me."

"I can't fight, uh…"

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Klein stopped. It seemed he had to go.

[Temporary Event: Deal with the Necromancer's Attack]

Klein knew very well that the Synthesizer was the best channel for him to become stronger quickly.

These synthesized temporary reminders seemed to require him to discover them himself.

The Synthesizer's rewards were too superior, like the Demon Pendant. This kind of magical item could make him stronger rapidly, that was one.

Second, the necromancer did threaten his safety.

And the third point was that Klein knew that in this chaotic world, combat could never be avoided.

So he was faintly looking forward to the battle.

He didn't know what his choice meant, but looking at the skeleton that had already climbed to the window, Klein had already made a decision in his heart.

"Observe first? My strength is very weak, I may not be able to help much."

"To solve these skeletons, you can only kill the necromancer behind them, so if you want to live, you have to go out and find him."

Twisting the skeleton's neck, Lilith kicked open the iron window with one foot. Her strength was even greater than Klein's younger sister, Mila.

Klein nodded and followed Lilith, jumping off the train.

Ten military professionals, plus some passengers from the carriage, were already engaged in a chaotic battle with the attacking skeleton army.

Although the number of skeletons was large, these professionals were more elite, quickly and effectively clearing these skeletons without any casualties.

"Now it looks like the battle is advantageous. It shouldn't take long to clear these skeletons, right?"

"That guy is using first-order undead creatures to exhaust their stamina. These people lack some understanding of necromancers."

"How do you know so much about necromancers?" Klein asked.

"After fighting them many times, you naturally become familiar with them."

Lilith walked to a shattered skeleton and picked up a rusty iron sword from the ground.

"Too light, I'll make do with it."

Klein glanced at Lilith again, wondering if this woman was trustworthy and what her purpose was in approaching him.

"Don't be dazed, follow me."

Compared to Klein's doubts, Lilith was much more decisive.

Klein didn't hesitate for too long and followed again.

If it was really as this woman said, Mila and these military professionals had fallen into the necromancer's scheme.

If you don't kill the undead creatures, it won't work. If you kill them, you will waste a lot of combat power. It's a proper scheme.

Then if they sit still and wait for death, they will basically only have a dead end.

Klein took out a wooden cane to help himself push away the messy branches in front of him.

Lilith looked at Klein in confusion.

"Staff?"

"No, it's a knife."

Klein slightly twisted the wooden cane in his hand, opened a small buckle, and with a "Clang" sound, pulled out the From Beyond.

Lilith looked at the From Beyond in Klein's hand, then looked at the rusty sword in her hand, her eyes shining slightly.

"Good knife."

Klein glanced at her and gave her a "Don't even think about it" look.

"This is mine."

"? ? ?"

Lilith was confused. What did that mean? Did she care about his broken knife? He was really something.

Annoyed, Lilith turned her head and walked into the depths of the jungle.

… …

After a long battle.

Next to the train, the skeleton army had been almost completely cleared. Almost all ten military professionals were injured, but they finally protected the train.

"Almost done. Four people scout, two people clear, and the others take turns resting."

"Yes."

The person in command was the train conductor of train 19, the warrior who took the lead and rushed out.

Just as everyone relaxed slightly, a neighing sound appeared in front.

A guy wearing armor, wielding a huge war blade, and riding a skeleton warhorse was charging towards everyone.

"Skeleton Knight?"

"Second-order creature… …"

"Scatter!"

Watching the Skeleton Knight already dragging his blade, the train conductor raised his war blade and pushed away an injured colleague.

Raising his blade and going up, all the battle qi was concentrated in the war blade in his hand, facing the Skeleton Knight's war blade.

"Clang!"

A huge force echoed between the two war blades. The train conductor was shocked and flew backwards, and the Skeleton Knight's charge was also intercepted.

The train conductor barely stood. The bones in his hands were already shattered, and several teeth had fallen out, but he couldn't fall down now.

If he fell, then the spiritual pillar of train 19's team would also collapse.

"Dia, go request support from headquarters."

The train conductor said in a low voice, but after a while, there seemed to be no response.

"Dia?"

He turned his head and saw a black sword stuck in Dia's chest, and a black claw was firmly clutching his throat. It looked like he wouldn't live.

Everyone followed the train conductor's gaze and naturally saw this scene.

"Second-order, Skeleton Warrior, the second second-order creature."

The Skeleton Swordsman casually threw Dia's body aside and began to approach everyone quickly.

Each step he and the Skeleton Knight took heavily stepped on everyone's hearts.

For a time, the extremely poor state of everyone, facing two second-order creatures, made the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
