"Shadow Binders can wield the power of fire and shadow at the same time," Tam said calmly.
"That's true." Bo Cheng nodded and turned his head to look at Dani strangely. He found that her body was slightly bloated and could not help but ask, "Are you wearing armor?"
"Chainmail. Other than being a priest, I'm also a knight."
"Hehe, we're really alike. I'm also a swordsman." Bo Cheng patted the short sword at his waist and said with a smile, "After that incident, it's safer to carry a sword when going out."
"Lisbon is an exception. Too many people have seen the gold coins on him," Death Priest Corbett from Khol said calmly.
Almost every race that didn't have a single god had their own Death God. For example, the Stranger of the Seven Gods, the Wild Lion of the Barren Land, and the Black Goat were the Death Gods worshipped by the people of Khol.
For the Church of the One God, such as the Red God Church, Lahlo was the God of All Creation — the King of Light. He was also the Death God — the Shadow Lahlo.
"Speaking of Lisbon …" Bo Cheng stroked his beard and asked the Shadow Binder, "Wizards' corpses have magic power. As the number one genius of the younger generation, Lisbon's corpse is even more valuable. Can I buy his corpse? I might be able to create a Fire Wizard Corpse Demon. "
Damn, I was just praising you for your magnanimity. You've revealed your true colors in just a few sentences?
Danny was infuriated by the Shadow Binder's refusal. However, Tam nodded without hesitation and said, "Sure, as long as you pay your family a reasonable price."
"Hehe, even Westeros know that Prince Bo is never short of money." The Fire Warlock behind Bo Cheng laughed.
Well, Bo Cheng came from the Bo Dynasty of Barren Land, a branch of the royal family. Calling him a "prince" was an exaggeration, but he was definitely rich.
Bo Cheng nodded proudly and said, "I'll buy Lisbon's corpse at twice the market price."
"Uh, isn't Lisbon our companion?" She couldn't help but interrupt.
"That's why I'm paying twice the price." Bo Cheng glanced at her and said calmly.
"When we're alive, we study others. When we're dead, we'll be studied by others. That's our fate." The Shadow Binding Knight's tone was casual, as if he was saying something like, "If you're alive, you have to eat."
Danny fell silent when she thought of the dried corpse of the wizard (her husband) that Widow Queers had given her.
However, after a short while, she was driven by curiosity and asked, "What is a Corpse Ghost?"
Bo Cheng thought for a moment and explained, "After ten thousand years of research, the Barren Land Necromancer Association discovered a natural truth. When a person dies, the body will lose part of the 'Yang Spirit' and at the same time give birth to some 'Yin Spirit'.
The so-called 'spirit' could be seen as the unique active factor of living beings. It was an important factor that differentiated spiritual beings from non-living beings such as stones, seawater, and soil.
When a person is alive, the spirit in his body is all Yang spirit. When a person dies, part of the Yang spirit transforms into Yin spirit, and the Yin spirit and Yang spirit mix together. As the corpse slowly decays, the amount of Yin spirit and Yang spirit will decrease, and finally return to nature completely. "
After explaining a lot, Bo Cheng was dismayed to find that the six people in the audience were all confused. Danny and Tam were wearing masks, so he couldn't see their expressions.
He sighed and turned to Danny and asked, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"You're saying it clearly. I'm not stupid. How can I not understand?" Danny said in a light tone.
The other eight people looked at her strangely. This girl might be very talented, but she didn't have any magic power. She didn't even know a single spell. She was quite thick-skinned.
Although they thought so, Tam and the other six people in the audience nodded slightly. They even looked as if they understood something.
After all, the novice Shadow Binding Knight had said it. Anyone who wasn't stupid could understand.
No matter what, they didn't want to be treated as a fool.
"However," Danny dragged her tone and said hesitantly, "Master Bo, you seem to have made a mistake. The loss of a corpse's internal spirit isn't linear with the degree of decay."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"At the moment of death, a person will lose more than half of their spirit. After that, it will stabilize at a certain level. After that, it will start to decrease linearly."
Danny indeed understood. Although she didn't know how the people of the East Continent researched it, their ten thousand years of research didn't go to waste. The so-called spirit should be spiritual quality. The Yin spirit and the Yang spirit should be referring to the different colors of the spiritual quality.
Before meeting Bo Cheng, she had always thought that the colorful particles were essentially the same. It was just like how sunlight was divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple by a prism. However, they were all part of sunlight.
After hearing the necromancer's words, Danny finally understood. Even if the purple and red light were part of sunlight, their wavelengths were different and their effects were different.
"How do you know?" Bo Cheng asked suspiciously.
He personally experienced it from burning corpses.
"'Saint Bailey's Ravings'," Danny said proudly.
"What's that?" Bo Cheng and the others were confused.
However, the Fire Warlock was stunned for a moment. He said in shock, "The ravings that Saint Bailey said before starving to death?"
"What's going on?" Bo Cheng looked at his followers.
The Fire Warlock pondered and said slowly, "Have you heard of Bailey who was blessed by the gods? After discovering that his wife and cousin were having an affair, he had been fasting and praying in the Holy Church, hoping to get help from the Seven Gods.
Perhaps he was confused by hunger and said a lot of nonsense during that period. However, the monks insisted that Saint Bailey was enlightened by the Seven Gods.
That's right. His wife was stolen and he starved to death. It would be terrible if word got out. Of course, the Seven Gods would help their own 'sage' to cover it up.
In short, some monks recorded some of the words that Saint Bailey said before he died. The manuscript was called 'Bailey's Ravings'.
However, after Aegon the Mediocre King — the cousin who stole his virgin wife — ascended to the throne, he burned all the information that defamed the Targaryen royal family. No one knew what Bailey said before he died. However, some people also said that some of the manuscripts were hidden by the monks of the old town. "
My fellow townsman, you're awesome. You've solved this problem and saved me a lot of effort. Thank you!
Danny echoed, "I only saw some broken pages. Unfortunately, I didn't understand what they were saying. Now that I heard Master Bo Cheng's explanation, I immediately understood."
She didn't spill the beans, but she had revealed information that she shouldn't have.
The key was that if she pretended to be confused, the 'expert' wouldn't talk to her in depth.
"But the Seven Gods are fake," Corbett said with a frown.
"The Targaryen bloodline is real. Perhaps Bailey really communicated with a God of Wisdom from another dimension," the Shadow Binder said calmly.
"Master Bo Cheng, please continue. What's after the Yin Yang Spirit?" Danny urged.
Bo Cheng didn't want to talk about it anymore. After all, no one could understand it. What was the point?
However, he found that not only could Danny understand it, but she also gave him a new theory. He couldn't help but be interested.
"Before the Necromancer Association was established, we scholars only hoped to solve the mystery of life and death. We never thought of creating ghosts or other undead creatures."
"You also want to live forever?" Danny asked strangely.
"Also?" Bo Cheng asked doubtfully. He then shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "Who doesn't?"
"That's right. Master, please continue."
"At first, the scholars didn't notice the difference between Yin Spirits and Yang Spirits. They only had one thought: after death, one would lose their spirit. But if they added spirit to a corpse, could they bring the dead back to life, or even live forever?"
Bo Cheng was excited, as if he had transformed into a scholar who explored the mystery of life and death ten thousand years ago.
"I'm afraid it'll be very difficult," Danny sighed.
She had thought of this before and had even tried many times. Unfortunately, not to mention corpses, even living people couldn't accept her spirit.
"Sigh, it's not difficult, it's impossible. After all, the Association didn't succeed even after ten thousand years of research. They only created a bunch of by-products." Bo Cheng sighed dejectedly and said slowly, "During the research, the scholars gradually discovered the difference between Yin and Yang Spirits.
Living people can only accept Yang Spirits, while corpses have a stable entangled Yin and Yang Spirits.
When the scholars tried to break the balance between Yin and Yang and extract all the Yang Spirits, the scholars became necromancers, and the corpses became zombies that could move and listen to orders. "
"So that's how it is." Danny was very happy. She didn't come to this gathering for nothing.
Or rather, Kui Xi's prophecy was very accurate. She should go to the East, to Asia to understand the truth of the world.
Of course, Danny also realized that Asia wasn't the main point. The main point was to communicate more with supernatural people.
Although this world's supernatural power was a bit weak, and there was an embarrassing incident where a mage was stabbed to death by a thief, the wisdom accumulated over thousands or even tens of thousands of years couldn't be underestimated.
It was all because this world's magic was too low, and the mysterious professionals were too miserable.
"I wonder if Master Bo Cheng is interested in exchanging protective skills with me?" Danny asked shamelessly.
"You want to learn necromancy?" Bo Cheng smiled faintly.
"Ahem, Leila, shadow binders control the power of fire and shadows. You can learn the fire wizard that you got from Lisbon, but necromancy can't coexist with it." Tam reminded.
"Hey, I haven't officially become a shadow binder yet!" Danny shouted.
Tam turned around and stared at her coldly, as if asking, 'I've invested so much effort in you, and you want to betray your master?'
Bo Cheng waved his hand and smiled. "Priest Leila, I'm sorry, but you're not a native, and necromancy secret arts are rarely taught to outsiders."
"Why?"
"A rule left behind by our ancestors."
“.....”
Tam was silent for a while, and said slowly, "There are necromancers from other schools in Asia. Leila, if you really want to learn necromancy, I'll introduce you to a few corpse robbers."
"Corpse robbers?"
"Necromancers need corpses, and corpse robbers know where their customers are."
"You're a good person, Tam!" Danny said affectionately.
"Necromancers and shadow binders can help with dragon hatching," the shadow binder said faintly.
"Uh …"
Bo Cheng frowned and said, "Necromancy originated from the barren lands, and only the wizards from the barren lands' Undead Association are accepted. As for the other wild wizards … Even the tolerant Asia doesn't allow necromancers to move around openly, and some places even kill them. Miss Leila, you have to be careful."
"Why?" Danny asked curiously.
"Wild necromancers have no restrictions, and their witchcraft theories are incomplete. They pursue power over wisdom, and their actions are too inhumane.
You have to understand that the Undead Association doesn't want to create terror, and our most fundamental pursuit has never changed — immortality. "
Moon Singer glanced at the entrance of the hall, and said softly, "Malacho is here."
Everyone looked over and saw a muscular man in black armor walking toward the stage with heavy steps.
The muscular man was wearing a full body armor, which was matte black in color. His steps were steady and powerful, and he looked very heroic and domineering, like a victorious general who had just returned from the battlefield.
"He's Malacho, the leader of the Tiger Party who's been in the limelight recently. At the same time, he's also the commander-in-chief of the allied army in Volantis, so he often wears armor to attend meetings and put on a show! There are hundreds of Volantis here, and all of them have the right to vote, "Moon Singer whispered to Danny.
"Yeah."
Danny's gaze was fixed on the Gith people behind Malacho, who were wearing golden tasseled toka robes.
"Why are the Gith people following Malacho? I heard that Malacho has always rejected the Gith people's invitation, and the Gith people are also staying in the Elephant Party's Nessisor mansion, "she said doubtfully.
