Chapter 5 Breakthrough! Great Mage
In the prefecture government office, bedroom, Xue Tian put down all the common affairs and focused on studying the magic books. "Life Stealing", "Summoning Skeletons", "Bone Spear Summoning", "Plague", "Skeleton Archer", "Vine Entanglement", "Skeleton Mage Summoning", "Frost", "Fire Explosion Technique", etc. are the skills that the necromancer must learn.
After reading the introduction of life-stealing skills for a long time, Xue Tianmo chanted a spell, tried to output magic power, and activated the spell. A dark green beam of light ejected from his hand. Just like the undead mage in the game, the spell actually found the living creatures in the room by itself. The only black cat was hit by the spell before he could escape, and his body was motionless as if it was paralyzed. Xue Tianyan saw that less than a few breaths, the cat quickly shriveled and died. The green light returned to his body again, and a strong vitality also followed it into his body, which was an unexpected gain for Xue Tian.
"Is this another kind of immortality? It's much more advanced than vampires." Xue Tian, who tasted the sweetness, felt that he should catch a few more test items to try. Well, I'll send someone to secretly catch a few death row prisoners to try. He just felt that he should have gained about a year of vitality, because cats have weak vitality, and humans must always be stronger. "Depending on the strength of vitality, steal a third to tenth of vitality into several uses" this sentence in the book made Xue Tian very eager to try.
"Skull summons, skeleton mages, skeleton archers, the prerequisite is that there must be corpses around. Just pull a few more death row prisoners over." Looking at the key points, steps, formations, and continued to look at other skills. The day passed again. Until the evening, the time for the servant to call the meal outside the door was coming. After asking the master to have a meal, Xue Tian woke up from his cultivation state and asked the servant to bring the meal in.
"You go and call Li Yuan."
"No." The maid named Chunxiang by Xue Tian responded timidly. No wonder, this girl was only 15 years old and was in junior high school in her previous life. However, she was not so happy in this era. She was just a refugee. Xue Tian still remembers that when she took Li Yuan shopping in the city to understand the people's conditions, she was slapped with grass on her parents' head and begged others to buy her. The little girl, like her family, was dirty, and her whole body was smelly. Others covered her sleeves to avoid it. Xue Tian sighed that the people's livelihood was so difficult that she ordered Li Yuan to recruit her whole family into the mansion to do things. Then he urged Sun Shao to send the people's notice he had come up with her and read it every day without delay.
"Master." Li Yuan came to Xue Tian and bowed slightly.
"Well, you go to the cell tonight to pull thirty death row prisoners, cover their heads, remember to lock your hands, and quietly send them in while there is no one."
"Master, is this?" Li Yuan was stunned when he heard Xue Tian's order. What's going to do? Is there anything special about the death row prisoner?
"Um?"
"Damn it, little, damn it." Li Yuan slapped himself twice, his face flushed and then took his leave.
"How interesting it would be if Li Yuan was sent to the throne and the Tang Dynasty came to the world in advance. Haha." Xue Tian laughed happily when he thought of this.
"By the way, you can try the accuracy of life stealing. Can you steal only a little bit of the opponent's vitality at a time..." Xue Tian suddenly thought of it, and then activated the spell again, flashing a green light in the air. Those who didn't know thought he was casting the Avada Sauvignon Curse.
Li Yuan got on the carriage and asked the coachman to go to the cell outside the city. The coachman ran wildly and arrived not far away from the cell in less than an hour. There could be seen two hanging lanterns from a distance. There were shadows under the lanterns. "Who? Stop!" A thin and tall prisoner, a little pale-faced and thin-skinned, wearing coarse cloth jailer costume, held the standard spear tightly in his hand and walked forward a few steps.
Li Yuan stepped forward and shook his hand and slapped: "Your dog eyes are blind. I am the housekeeper of the Palace Master. This is a token." The tone was indescribable.
The jailer was slapped, looked at the token again, and instead of anger, he was happy: "Master, did you slap your hand just now? I deserve to die, slap," he slapped himself twice again, "I deserve to die, I apologize to you. What instructions do you have to come here?" He smiled flatteringly and held the "Master" who was obviously younger than him.
"Well, you guys have some vision. Go, prepare thirty death row prisoners for me immediately. Remember to cover their faces and tie their hands with ropes. Go quickly."
"No." The thin tall man took the order and went to the prison to report to the prison chief. He couldn't make the decision on such a big deal.
"Li Head, Li Head." The thin tall man panted and rushed to the prison head who was drinking.
"What are you doing? I'm so anxious. Those who don't know think it's burning. There's no straight face." Li Tou, who was drinking with a bowl, scolded.
"Outside... a housekeeper from the Mansion of the Lord of the State Council came outside, holding the Mansion of the Lord of the State Council in his hand, saying that he was coming here to interrogate thirty death row prisoners."
"What, is there such a thing? Take me to see this manager quickly." Li Tou was eager to climb a big tree.
The two hurriedly trot to the prison door and saw Li Yuan wearing gorgeous clothes at first sight. "Little Li San, Zuo Daniu has met the general manager."
"Get up. Go and get thirty death row prisoners here. Don't miss the lord's big deal."
Li San glanced at Zuo Daniu and said, "Go quickly, don't miss the adult affairs. Hurry up!"
Zuo Daniu had no choice but to take the order to do business. Li San was left to curry favor with Li Yuan. When he heard that Li Yuan was also surnamed Li, he began to curry favor with Li Yuan and insisted on recognizing Li Yuan as his elder brother. He also gave him a jade plaque from his ancestors.
"Looking at you, you are also sincere. There is still a shortage of people in the mansion, so you can go back with me. In the future, you will have the benefits of serving your lord." Li Yuan followed Xue Tian for a while, and saw that his eyes were good. He knew that he was a top-notch product and was just a person. The lord never cared about these things.
Not long after, a few jailers took thirty jailers out of the cell. Li San asked Zuo Daniu to prepare the carriage. After preparing the carriage, Li Yuan asked them to take the prisoners to the provincial palace together.
By the time they arrived at the provincial governor's mansion, it was already past ten o'clock at night, and soldiers were guarding the mansion in front and behind the mansion. Xue Tian attached great importance to his safety. There were three teams of soldiers in the mansion taking turns to stand guard, and each team of soldiers had 1,000 to ensure that there was no accident.
"Master, Master." Li Yuan gently pressed the door in front of Xue Tian's room. Xue Tian had already sensed them. "Come in."
"Master, everything is done." Li Yuan was as respectful as ever.
"No, Li Yuan." "You have followed me for a while. Your work efficiency is good, and I am very satisfied. I will first reward you with 200 golden cakes. When you have made contributions in the future, you will reward you." "Thank you for the grace of Master. The little one... the little one..." Li Yuan was so excited that he was a little speechless.
The ancients' feelings were indeed quite sincere. Xue Tian asked him to go back and rest. He walked gently to the backyard. There were very important experimental subjects there.
Thirty death row prisoners lay quietly in the woodshed. They were all knocked out. Xue Tian did not remove the black cloth on their faces, but began to use the technique of absorbing life. A dark green light flashed in the woodshed soon.
After a few hours, Xue Tian finally got the trick clear inside and outside, including the degree of absorption, the unit of absorption, the time of absorption, etc. With his current magic, there is no problem in absorbing ten people at the same time. If he uses it with all his strength, it will only take two minutes to completely steal the life of an ordinary person, which is quite good.
After a night, the sky was slightly white. The vitality of the thirty death row prisoners was sucked clean by Xue Tian. "It's dawn. Just try the technique of skeleton summoning."
He did it as soon as he said that, Xue Tian chanted a spell silently, silently outputting magic power on his body, forming a summoning array on the ground under the corpse. The summoning array soon emitted a blue-black light, and the light penetrated the corpse.
The light disappeared, and the formation disappeared. Thirty dead bodies also stood up. Their flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only the skeleton bodies, and green ghost fires were burning in their eyes. They held a big knife in their hands, which seemed to be a gift.
"It actually succeeded in summoning one time. OK, let's see if it can be done by turning them into skeleton archers." Xue Tian recited the spell again and increased the output of magic. Soon the skeletons were wrapped in blue and black light. "The magic is not enough, damn it!"
It seems that I can only try to convert only half of it first. Xue Tian changed the transformation method and transferred the magic power to half of the skeleton. After a while, the results were achieved.
Fifteen skeleton archers with more magic power than skeleton soldiers appeared. Xue Tian learned from the information uploaded by their spirit that their bows and arrows can shoot a range of 2,000 magic arrows in a day, which ordinary people cannot resist. "It's such a surprise. But I have to make magic enhancement potions first to broaden my magic power. First get the level of a great magician to have the power of a battle." Xue Tian used the primary invisibility technique to hide the figures of the skeleton soldiers and skeleton archers, then left the backyard, returned to the room, and meditated to restore magic power.
It was not until two days later that Li Yuan prepared the various medicinal materials and animals that Xue Tian asked him to purchase. Xue Tian did not explain to him that after getting the things, he would refine magic-enhancing potions behind closed doors and follow the steps in the book.
Half a month later, looking at the black potion bubbling in the crucible, Xue Tian nodded. He refined it many times and finally succeeded. How many precious medicinal materials have been wasted.
After drinking all the magic-enhancing potion in one go, Xue Tian sat down and meditated. After a while, he felt that the tendons and veins in his body were very painful, the sea of spiritual consciousness also expanded rapidly, and layers of dregs were seeped out of the surface of his skin. This was Xue Tian’s most real feeling at this moment. But he had to endure it, one step at heaven, one step at hell. Only when he could endure it was heaven.
One day, two days, three days, if Xue Tian had not let Li Yuan and others not disturb him and prepared enough dry food for one month in advance, he would have been disturbed this time. The thirty skeleton soldiers were also arranged by him to guard the door of the room, and they were still invisible. Once someone forced himself to break through, they would be shot and killed.
