Every city had a graveyard.
The graves of the nobles were luxuriously built, strictly managed, and specially guarded. The cemetery for the poor in the north of the city was much more desolate.
The cemetery for the poor in every city was a public welfare project. The officials in charge of this area were rarely corrupt, so they were severely understaffed.
The cemetery for the poor had always been dilapidated, and was a gathering place for thieves, robbers, and grave robbers.
…
It was midnight, and the new moon was hanging above the branches.
Ma Wen and Anna quietly appeared at the southwest entrance of the cemetery.
Of course, he wasn't here to rob a grave. These poor people didn't have a good life when they were alive, and their corpses often didn't have peace after death. Even if Ma Wen was short of money, he wouldn't be like those bad grave robbers who wanted to rob the corpses of these poor people.
He was here to find the guard of the cemetery.
That's right, the cemetery for the poor also had a guard, but this guard was hired by the city hall for a small amount of money. He was only responsible for daily supervision and was extremely irresponsible.
Through his memory search, Ma Wen found out that the guard's name was [Dark Forest], a strange old man.
Ma Wen remembered this name.
"Not long after the server opened, the first grade 2 elite boss that was killed seemed to have this name …"
"Corpse Robber, Dark Forest. He used his identity as a cemetery guard to steal the remaining value of the poor. He sold these corpses to the Necromancer hiding in the Hills of Despair to the north of River Beach in exchange for a small reward. In the end, he obtained the Necromancer's book in a trade, and from then on became a blasphemer who could summon the dead. He was destined to be hated by all sorts of righteous gods. "
Corpse Robber, Dark Forest. Ma Wen's target was him.
According to the current history, the server would open in half a year. Maybe Dark Forest hadn't obtained the Necromancer's book yet and evolved into a terrifying grade 2 Warlock.
It was worth a gamble.
Ma Wen silently estimated the strength of his side. A level 2 ranger with the memories and experience of the Master of the Night, and a level 5 half-elf warrior. On the way, he asked Anna about her level, and the answer he got shocked him.
It turned out that Anna had been a Level 5 Half-elf Warrior for quite some time now. However, as she had been busy dealing with the matters in the White River Valley, she had not had the time to return to the Half-elf settlement to find a qualified instructor to help her advance to a stronger Tier 2 class. Her strength was quite extraordinary, which was also the reason why Ma Wen could survive until now!
"A Level 5 Half-Elf Warrior has at least 120 HP. Moreover, it has a Race Trait, a Profession Specialty, and a Personal Specialty. It also has a lot of powerful skills. It's simply a super fighter."
In the face of Ma Wen's inquiry, Anna did not hold back and told Ma Wen about her characteristics, specialties, and various skills.
The common Warrior skills [Cleave], [Basic Block], [Double Combo], and so on were all very practical skills in battle. Anna's basic skills were quite good.
As for the one characteristic and two specialties, in Ma Wen's opinion, it was also enviable:
[Race Trait: Swordsmanship Proficiency]: Your swordsmanship proficiency level + 1
[Profession Specialty: Toughness]: As long as you do not encounter fatal or crippling damage, damage effects will not affect your actions.
[Personal Specialty: Precision]: Your sword is always aimed at the enemy's vital points.
Anna's Race Trait was quite rare, and it almost only appeared among pure-blooded elves. Half-elves were very rare, so it could be said that she was quite lucky. It was very difficult to raise the level of swordsmanship proficiency. It required years of training and accumulation. Without this Race Trait, Anna's level of swordsmanship proficiency was [Swordsmanship Expert], but with the bonus of the Race Trait, she directly jumped to the terrifying [Swordsmanship Master].
Ma Wen knew that even among Tier 2 professions, there were very few who had such a high level of swordsmanship proficiency. Being a Swordsmanship Master meant that Anna's swordsmanship was almost invincible in a battle of equal strength!
As for [Toughness] and [Precision], these two specialties were very practical in battle. The former could prevent the impact of pain on continuing to fight, ensuring continuous combat power and survival rate; the latter could make it easier for her to stab the opponent's vital points or cripple them, resulting in greater lethality.
In any case, the strength of his half-elf housekeeper exceeded Ma Wen's expectations, which made him more confident in his next move.
…
In a secluded wooden house in the poor cemetery.
The dim candlelight was accompanied by the creaking sound of wood, and a tall figure was working hard.
However, the target of his ploughing was a young girl with a deathly pale face who didn't have any blood in her!
The girl's eyes were lifeless, and pus was even flowing out of her eye sockets. However, the tall figure was still indifferent.
Outside the window on the side, two figures silently watched this scene.
Even Ma Wen did not expect that when he and Anna found the house where the caretaker of the poor cemetery, Hessian, lived, this guy was actually raping a corpse.
He was simply devoid of conscience!
The girl's corpse had not rotted too badly, so she should have died from some kind of disease. In the eyes of Hessian, this was undoubtedly the best tool to vent his lust!
Boom!
The door of the small wooden house was kicked open, and the furious Anna directly threw Ma Wen's previous battle plan to the back of her mind.
She was already furious.
Towards this kind of person who blasphemed the dead, she, who had a strong obsession with mental cleanliness, would only leave him one path!
That was death!
Anna's footsteps were extremely fast, and she rushed over, slashing down with her sword!
Cleave!
The tall Hessian was agile, and he actually dodged the slash and jumped down from the bed.
His face was twisted, filled with anger and surprise.
He didn't know why someone would interrupt his ceremony at this time!
"Pitiful half-elf girl." Hessian's deep voice sounded, "Since you destroyed my ceremony and made this corpse lose its value, then use yourself to make up for it!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of dark flame flew out of his hand!
"Damn, it's actually [Corrosive Fire]!"
On the other side, Ma Wen who had snuck in through the narrow window saw the dark flame, and his heart sank.
Corrosive Fire was a level 2 spell, and it was the signature ability of an Enchanter. Being able to instantly cast Corrosive Fire meant that Hessian had officially become an Enchanter!
Even if the current him was not an elite model half a year later, it was still quite troublesome.
Anna was shocked and ducked. The Corrosive Fire instantly melted a large hole over a meter in diameter on the wall!
This dodge gave Hessian an opportunity, and he suddenly sprinted, increasing the distance between him and Anna.
The small wooden house was actually quite big, with several rooms. Hessian escaped to the living room, and stood behind the sofa.
Low-level spellcasters did not have many close-combat methods, so they could not let warriors close in.
However, once there was a distance, spellcasters who had a large number of high-damage low-circle spells would undoubtedly have the advantage.
Unbeknownst to him, a thick magic book had suddenly appeared in his hands.
At this time, Anna rushed over, but it was as if she ran into a wall!
Gas Explosion!
A spherical wave of air burst out from where Hessian was, and everything in the surroundings was overturned!
Anna was no exception!
She staggered and fell to the ground.
Although Anna had decent strength, she was very inexperienced in fighting with spellcasters!
Hessian grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"You're dead, * sshole."
In a corner where he was not paying attention, Ma Wen was attentively staring at the ring on his hand.
It was a black diamond ring, and if Ma Wen remembered correctly, it was a glimmering item!
Its effect was to instantly cast a spell that did not exceed the user's casting level! The restriction was that it could only be used once every three days!
"So he can't instantly cast Corrosive Fire!"
"This is the effect of the black diamond ring. He is stalling for time, and then he can cast a more powerful spell. "
"He is not a level 2 Enchanter, but a level 1 Enchanter who is inclined towards darkness!"
As everyone knew, an Enchanter's defensive spells were very limited.
Spell slots for low-ranked Wizards were very tight, and they could at most guarantee three defensive spells in their spell slots. Among them, Corrosive Fire and Gas Explosion were considered.
Ma Wen took a deep breath, knowing that he could not be anxious.
Anna attracted Hessian's attention. The half-elf girl's level was not low, and it gave him a certain amount of pressure.
This was an opportunity. He had to grasp it well.
The prerequisite was that Hessian cast the last defensive spell.
Anna climbed up from the ground, and with a light shout, she dashed forward, and the longsword in her hand steadily pierced towards Hessian's heart!
This was the full strength of a level 5 Warrior, and Hessian's spell was not ready yet. If he was stabbed, the spell would undoubtedly be interrupted!
His face showed a trace of helplessness, and he gritted his teeth, turning the spell book to the first page!
After a few short words, a thick layer of light yellow armor floated on Hessian's body!
Level 0 spell, [Low-Ranked Wizard Armor]!
Ma Wen's eyes lit up. This was the third defensive spell!
* Bang! *
The longsword stabbed into the armor, almost piercing a hole!
However, the rebound from the Wizard Armor caused Anna's wrist to tremble, and she almost lost her grip on the longsword.
Hessian took this opportunity to take half a step back and complete the spell he had prepared!
In an instant, strange roars rang out continuously.
Outside the small wooden house, there was a hustle and bustle.
Hessian's body gradually turned into nothingness, and his voice was full of pride, "Enjoy the feast of the zombies. After your body is torn to pieces, I will enjoy your soul …"
Anna looked outside the window in shock and anger.
Outside the house was a dense mass of zombies summoned by Hessian!
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the house.
"Didn't your teacher teach you that the Wizard is at their weakest when they use [Nihility Shift]? Mr. Hessian? "
The cold scimitar was placed on Hessian's neck, and it easily broke through the floating Wizard armor, cutting a large hole in Hessian's throat!
Black blood gushed out like a fountain!
Hessian's head fell to the ground!
Ma Wen walked out of the shadows, stepping over the Wizard's corpse, and looked outside the window with a stern expression.
"We're in trouble, cursed zombies! Seal the doors and windows immediately!"
