Taking a warhorse from the castle, Liang Lidong rode on the mountain road at night while Joan Of Arc flew in the sky. There were no clouds in the sky, and the moon was very bright. Although it was late at night, the view was quite good. The cool mountain wind blew through Liang Lidong's body, taking away some of the heat in his body. He was not in a good state now. His body heat was only a small problem. The real problem was that there was a woman in his head who kept talking.
Liang Lidong had indeed absorbed the Necromancer's soul fragment, but it wasn't something that was easy to enjoy. If it was the soul fragment of an ordinary person, he could crush it into pieces in minutes, but the soul fragment of the necromancer was different. It contained the ability and knowledge of the profession. To digest it, he needed enough time and a relatively safe environment.
Although Uther had become his knight, Liang Lidong did not fully trust him. If he died, Uther would die as well. It seemed to be a deterrent, but there would always be people who did not believe it, or who would do something unimaginable. This was not the game world, and Blondie and Whitey were missing. If he died like this, it would be very difficult for him to come back to life. Otherwise, Blondie would not have told him to hide so many times.
Now, it was safer to go back to the temple to rest.
The mountain road was winding, sometimes going up and down, and the woman's voice in his head became clearer. Liang Lidong began to feel a little dizzy, but at this time, he was not far from Reed Village. It was about a ten-minute journey. But it was also at this time that he suddenly noticed a pink beam of light suddenly appeared in the eastern sky. It went straight up and down, piercing the sky and the earth.
Liang Lidong stopped his horse and looked at the beam of light in the distance. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Joan Of Arc, do you see that beam of light?"
Joan's puzzled voice came from the spiritual channel, "Huh? Master, what beam of light are you talking about? "
"The pink beam of light in the east is so obvious. Can't you see it?"
"I only see a few stars!" Jeanne said angrily, "Master, I'm not sure. Can you not make such a silly joke? "
Joan Of Arc could not see it! Liang Lidong covered his left eye with his left hand and then moved it away … The Cloud Dragon's Blue Pupil could see through all illusions. In other words, this light beam was enchanted with illusions to hide from the world's detection. In fact, Liang Lidong had seen such a strange situation in the game before. For a period of time, players could not stand the feudal system in the game.
During the Frenzy, many players and NPCs developed, but then several pillars of light descended from the sky. Following that, the professionals of the various Holy Temples began to band together to annihilate the players and NPCs who intended to 'revolutionize', regardless of whether they were good gods or evil gods.
Now that he saw this beam of light again, Liang Lidong knew what was going on.
Oracle!
It was unknown which god had given the order to his believers. However, this matter had nothing to do with Liang Lidong. Although the beam of light looked very clear and exaggerated, he knew that the place where the oracle was issued was very far from here. It should be across several countries. Moreover, oracles were generally related to religious wars, so he did not know which two gods were preparing to start a war.
Liang Lidong patted his swollen head and decided not to think about it anymore. He urged his horse to move in the direction of Reed's village.
By the time he returned to the village, the pink beam of light had also disappeared.
The village had not changed much after nearly a month, but the road in the village had been paved with bluestone. The sound of horseshoes falling on the flagstones created a crisp sound. Although the sound of warhorses galloping was pleasant to hear, it was actually very disturbing. When Liang Lidong returned to the Holy Temple from the entrance of the village, almost all the people in the village were woken up.
Many people looked out of the window drowsily, but when they saw Liang Lidong, they crawled back to sleep.
The gate of the Holy Temple was closed, but it was not locked. But it was not locked. When Liang Lidong entered the Holy Temple, he found that Belin was not resting in the backyard of the Holy Temple. He heaved a sigh of relief. He closed the door of the Holy Temple on his own initiative and went to bed. Before entering the spiritual world, he issued a defense order to Joan Of Arc. No one was allowed to enter the Holy Temple, including Kail and Belin.
It was not difficult for spellcasters to enter their own spiritual world. As long as their willpower was above 7, it would be fine. In the spiritual world, many strange things could be seen, such as human-like but non-human-like life forms. These things were actually illusions of the user's obsession or thoughts. Liang Lidong pushed away an eyeball with tentacles and found the woman who was chattering non-stop in his spiritual world.
This was a rather beautiful woman, but her face was expressionless, and she just kept repeating a few words. The language she used was not understood by Liang Lidong, but judging from the tone, it should be the language of humans in the south of the Orc Empire.
This woman should be the real appearance of the Necromancer. Although she was only a soul fragment, the soul itself would passively show the original appearance of the character. Liang Lidong's spirit turned into threads and tentacles, dragging this soul fragment woman in front of him, cutting her into pieces once again. Then, he wrapped the fragments together, bringing them with him as he continued to sink into the depths of his consciousness.
Everyone had a "core" in the world of consciousness, which was hidden in the deepest part of the spiritual world. It was the key point of the spiritual world, and also the supporting point of the spiritual world.
The deeper he went into the spiritual world, the more strange creatures he could see. Liang Lidong watched as a river crab with its pincers held a banner that read 'Hand Only' walked past him in a tyrannical manner. Then, he saw the alien Ma Yun tossing four sticks and riding a wheelbarrow around him.
Liang Lidong ignored these strange creatures and continued to sink into the depths of the spiritual world. The surface of the spiritual world was bright, with a warm orange hue, but the deeper he went, the darker the color. Most people's spiritual world was gray, but the depths of Liang Lidong's spiritual world was almost blue. The color of the spiritual world was said to be related to a person's state of mind.
After a long time, Liang Lidong finally reached the deepest part of the spiritual world. There was a square-shaped crystal floating there. Different from the blue surroundings, this crystal was gold, a bright gold, just like Liang Lidong's hair, flashing with a dazzling luster. It was the core of Liang Lidong's spiritual world.
Liang Lidong threw the Necromancer's soul fragment forward, and the shimmering gray fragments attached to the crystal's core bit by bit, gradually dissolving into it.
At the same time, the crystal emitted pulses, randomly shooting in all directions from time to time. Liang Lidong stood in front of the crystal, looking at some impurities in the bright gold crystal, and these impurities were gradually reducing and fading.
In order to completely absorb a person's soul fragment. It must be decomposed and read by the spiritual core. The Necromancer's soul fragment was more tenacious than he imagined. The spiritual core decomposed rather slowly, but Liang Lidong was patient enough. He kept waiting in front of the spiritual core. He watched the spiritual core emit pulses, and watched the Necromancer's soul fragment reduce at an extremely slow speed.
There was no day or night in the spiritual world. After an unknown period of time, the spiritual core completely decomposed the Necromancer's soul fragment, and the knowledge and abilities within it became its own. It became its own thing.
When he woke up, he saw the setting sun shining in from the high window of the temple, slanting on the opposite wall, casting a large orange light.
Liang Lidong sat up, feeling that his lower abdomen was already against his back, so he used the spiritual channel to ask Joan Of Arc, "How many days have passed?"
"Master, you're awake?" Joan Of Arc sounded very happy. "You've been sleeping for two days and three nights. I was worried that something might have happened to you."
"So long?"
Liang Lidong was slightly surprised, but he quickly took out a piece of bread from his Backpack and gathered some water with magic, wetting it. Then, he began to chomp on it. He hadn't eaten anything for two days and three nights. He was already starving. Fortunately, he had prepared emergency food in his Backpack, or he would have to beg for food from the villagers.
Sitting on the bed, he ate and checked what he had gained with his spiritual power.
This Necromancer was indeed quite powerful. A lot of knowledge was recorded in the simple soul fragment, such as the collection and utilization of dark elements, and how to prevent himself from being controlled by dark elements. To prevent himself from losing his mind. Liang Lidong couldn't use those things, because almost all human countries strongly rejected dark magic. Anyone who saw it would immediately be labeled as a demon or a monster. Everyone wanted to beat him up.
Apart from the knowledge of dark elements, the Necromancer also provided a language for Liang Lidong. He now understood the words that the Necromancer's shadow had been muttering.
Hussein, I want revenge. I want to kill all your descendants. Not a single one will be spared.
The surname Hussein. It was the Desert Kingdom to the south of the Orc Empire. It was the surname of the royal family. Liang Lidong had seen some introductions of this country in the game, but because it was too far from his territory, he had never been to the Desert Kingdom.
The most unfortunate thing was that there was no memory of the phylactery in the Necromancer's soul fragment. If he knew where the phylactery of the Necromancer was, Liang Lidong would definitely try his best to destroy the phylactery. Only by destroying the phylactery could the Necromancer truly die and sleep forever.
After eating two pieces of bread, Liang Lidong felt much better. He opened the door of the temple, and a group of children rushed in.
They obediently sat on the benches in the prayer room of the classroom, waiting for Liang Lidong's teaching. No one spoke, and no one made any noise.
Liang Lidong knew that perhaps because he hadn't taught for more than ten days, these children had begun to thirst for new knowledge. But it was already late, so he casually said a few words and asked Kail and Belin to stay. The other children could go home first.
"Belin, you've done well recently." Liang Lidong was not stingy with his praise. "I can see that your supervision of the young and strong is very effective. I've already seen it when I came back. The village's bluestone path is well paved, and the quality is excellent. You've also healed many people, and your strength has increased. This is a lot. I'm very happy."
Belin was a little surprised. "Teacher, how do you know so many things?!"
Because of the temple's system, there was a detailed record of the character's behavior. Of course, Liang Lidong could know what Belin had been doing in the temple recently.
Then he asked Kail, "You should be good at sword stabbing now. Now you can learn sword cutting."
Although Kail was full of joy, he was much calmer. "I see … Teacher, there's something I should tell you."
"Oh, what is it?"
Kail scratched his head and then said, "Jerry said that his brother Hank has been losing money recently. Just like teacher said, Hank's wealth has never exceeded one gold coin since that day. But because of this, Hank is full of hatred for teacher. He seems to want to harm teacher. Jerry often overheard his brother mumbling to himself that he is trying to frame you. "
It had to be said that if it weren't for Kail's reminder, Liang Lidong wouldn't even remember that Hank existed. He said with a smile, "Don't worry. People like Hank will never achieve great things. Even if he wants to harm people, he can't do it."
At this moment, Hank, whom Liang Lidong and Kail mentioned, was running in front of an unbelievably handsome man with rabbit ears.
"Master, the priest of the Evil Spirits shamelessly said that you're no match for him at all, and that you're illegitimate …"
The unbelievably handsome man was a half-elf. He said indifferently, "He wants to say that I'm an illegitimate child, right? It doesn't matter. Let him speak. But Hank, are you hurt? As a member of the family, your safety is much more important than my personal honor. Get up and go to your room to rest. I'll have someone send you this month's commission and equipment maintenance fee. "
"It feels like you, my great master." Hearing that he could put money in his pocket, Hank wasn't happy. Instead, he was a bit depressed. He walked to his room sullenly.
But at this time, the half-elf suddenly asked, "What's the name of the priest of the Evil Spirits?"
Hank suddenly became excited. "His name is Beta. He's a toy boy. He's not very strong. Unfortunately, I don't know magic, and he's bewitched too many farmers. Otherwise, I'd definitely cut off his head and give it to the master to avenge the Snow Family.
"Oh, Beta, is that really your name?" The half-elf looked a bit strange.
"One hundred percent sure!" Hank said with his head down.
"Go and rest. I'll take care of this."
After getting the confirmation from his master, Hank excitedly went back to his room.
After seeing that Hank had gone far away, the half-elf said to the maid beside her, "Ask Doug to go to Reed Village and check it out. If he sees anything magical, bring it back. Also, make sure to get all the information about Beta. Do it in private. Don't let him notice us."
"Master, that Hank was lying. Why didn't you expose him?"
The half-elf smiled and said: "Everyone will lie, so will Hank, this is not a strange thing, it is better to say that my attention is not on him at all, but on the evil god believer from his mouth, who seems to have special abilities 'Beta'."
