  Chapter 8 Elliot

Elliot has always considered himself lucky.

As a child, the village was captured by robbers. The robbers sacked the village and burned the entire village. Elliot escaped by hiding in a dry well.

After wandering all the way in the forest, as an ordinary teenager, it is estimated that he either starved to death or was eaten by wild beasts. But in the forest, Elliot can always find food with good luck, maybe the wild fruit that can be picked, or the rotting corpse left by the beast.

One time, Elliot was forced into a tunnel by a group of wild beasts, and when he was curled up waiting to die, he suddenly found that the wild beasts hesitated to come forward, and finally gave up the food in his mouth. Choosing to leave, the gloomy and cold aura coming from the tunnel has always been fresh in Elliot's memory.

It wasn't until Elliot, who became an undead mage many years later, came back here, only to find that this was a tomb that had been placed for an unknown period of time, and there was a middle-high-level undead creature sleeping in it.

There is also a time when Elliot was found in the forest after fainting from starvation, and the people who found him took him back to the village where he lived. The man did not express disgust for Elliot's status as a vagabond, and even proposed to adopt him, while Elliot showed an unworldly appearance, and took his money and food while he was sleeping a few days later to continue. wandering.

After wandering like this for a long time, Elliot came to the gathering place of the undead mage: Dia, just in time for the day when the undead mage Academy was widely accepting apprentices. As long as you have the heart and will to become an undead mage, you can join the undead mage Academy and become an undead mage apprentice. That's how Elliot entered the Undead Mage Academy.

After becoming an apprentice, Elliot found out that things are not as simple as he imagined. Learning any kind of knowledge in the Undead Mage Academy will cost gold coins, and the Academy will also forcefully release some tasks to check. The strength of the undead mage apprentice.

Without the gold coin learning skills and the ability to complete quests, Elliot ends up in the undead mage Academy and ends up being sent to experiment with undead transformation.

Elliot clearly remembered that there were about a dozen people who participated in the transformation with him at that time. Apart from the apprentices who were also unable to complete the task, there were many people he had never met. Elliot didn't know what happened during the transformation, only that there was only one apprentice who survived in the end.

Elliot didn't feel the specific changes that this transformation brought to the body. He only knew that after the experiment was completed, he got a bulging bag of gold coins.

With this money, Elliot learned about meditation at the Undead Spell Academy, as well as some of the basics of being an Undead mage.

But after Elliot has learned a few spells, the money is running low. No way, in order to continue to learn knowledge, Elliot can only find a way to take some tasks to earn gold coins.

At this point, the tomb he had encountered while wandering appeared in Elliot's consciousness. The tomb of a powerful undead creature is sleeping. If it is used well, it can create a lot of undead creatures. Undead creatures are valuable in their own right in addition to fighting, and there are places in any town in Dia to exchange undead creatures for gold coins.

Thinking of this, Elliot is ready to go. Because the wandering time was too long, Elliot could only roughly remember one direction, and the specific location of the tomb could not be determined. To find it was undoubtedly seabed.

But Elliot didn't think too much about it, just as he had escaped death many times before, Elliot believed that his luck would help him find the tomb.

As Elliot expected, it took him a few months to find the tomb in Elliot, near Dia.

Then it is a slow accumulation. Like other undead mages do, Elliot goes out of his way to increase his undead creatures. Whether it is a passing traveler or the residents of a nearby small village, Elliot releases magic to kill them, and uses the tomb to quickly transform the undead creatures.

When the strength accumulated to a certain level, with these undead creatures under his hands, Elliot began to slaughter the surrounding small villages.

In order to deal with the possible resistance in the village, Elliot began to attack the village at night each time. Due to the ignorance of the villagers and their fear of undead creatures, Elliot can defeat the basic defenses of the village very well.

Even if he encounters a professional who can deal with undead creatures in the village, Elliot, who is hidden in the dark, often only needs to release the magic dive arrow in succession, and he can be seriously injured. This is also because the rank of the professionals in the village is too low. During the attack on the village, Elliot has yet to meet a senior professional.

After attacking the small village, Elliot further strengthened himself by transforming the corpses of the villagers into undead creatures, and then he set his sights on ordinary villages.

After a successful raid, Elliot finds a natural hero among the villagers the undead creatures are about to slaughter. This hero has no training and is not even comparable to the Skeletons in the beginning. But with her heroic potential, Elliot knew she'd found a treasure.

Undead mage can make dead heroes into high-level undead, but Elliot's current level is obviously impossible. Reason tells Elliot that the best thing to do is to sell her. A born hero, her heroic status and growth are doomed to her high price.

After disposing of the corpses in the village, Elliot went to a nearby town and sold the hero to the continent's largest transport and sales slave organization: Freelance Chamber of Commerce. Of course, this town is just a branch of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce in a remote area.

Elliot, who got a huge amount of gold coin, once again felt his luck. After destroying five or six villages, the property and the transformed undead creatures were worth only a few hundred gold coins. Got 4000gold coin.

After that, there is some purchase, and the gold coin is exchanged for the item you need the most. On the way back, Elliot also noticed that someone was following him, but finally saw his undead creature and retreated because he didn't know his strength.

"The benefit this time is enough for me to learn until the official undead mage, so I will return to the Academy after disposing of the last undead creature." Elliot, who was about to return to the tomb, thought so.

…………

The warning brought by the perception broke Rhodes' original quiet and peaceful state of mind. As if a rock had plunged into the water, rippling the surface of the water, Rhodes immediately exited his meditative state.

Opening his eyes, Rhodes knew that the undead mage apprentice had returned.
