In Prandal, necromancers specifically referred to mages who studied the dead. In essence, they were still members of the Star and Moon Tower Mage Association. They were mages who used magic and also belonged to the order.
However, after they began to study the dead, they would be regarded as traitors by the Star and Moon Tower and would be wanted by all mages.
Necromancers were quite powerful, but if you chose this profession in the game, you had to be mentally prepared in advance, because this profession could not enter the city and could not obtain the resources that normal players could obtain. They could only obtain resources by killing players or through the black market.
If it was in other worlds, studying corpses was nothing, and maybe surgery would rise because of it.
However, this world had God after all.
Gritterrence was the God of Death in Prandal and the guardian of the dead. The domain of God could not be blasphemed.
Necromancers who desecrated the dead would not only be wanted by the Star and Moon Tower, but also be punished by Gritterrence. Their vitality would quickly drain until they died. Although necromancers used various means to deceive the eyes of God, their living environment was still precarious.
So Tang En could not understand why these mages wanted to court death.
Was it not good to be a mage who was respected by everyone? Every day, there were nobles who scrambled to flatter and send gold coins and girls. They gave up such a good career and insisted on dealing with corpses.
Tang En felt that the necromancers' brains were short-circuited.
After entering the Pale Forest, the surroundings were quiet. Only the rustling of footsteps could be heard in the pale forest. Even Nola, who had always been cheerful, was lying on Aiguin's shoulder, too lazy to move.
Speaking of which, since seeing Aiguin, this little thing had stuck to Aiguin's side, making Tang En worried that this little thing would abandon him.
"Crack."
A crisp sound suddenly broke the silence in the forest. Tang En looked down and could not help but secretly shake his head.
What he stepped on was a pale white thigh bone. Upon closer inspection, the surrounding ground was actually covered with bones. However, because the color of the bones was too similar to the surrounding environment, it was easy to mistake them for bushes. Therefore, he did not notice them at first. The more he looked at them, the more frightened Tang En became.
An extremely cruel massacre had taken place here!
Scattered around were armors, shields, giant axes, war hammers, and giant swords. These things were all broken. The armors were covered with hideous wounds, and the weapons were chipped. It was obvious that they had gone through an extremely fierce battle.
These things had been corroded by the rich elemental energy and had all turned pale white. They no longer looked like metal.
The skeletons were entangled with each other, and some of the skeletons' hands were even directly inserted into the chest of another skeleton. What exactly happened here?
After looking around, Elijah was so scared that her face turned pale and she felt dizzy.
Elijah looked at Tang En pitifully. "Big brother …"
"Alright then …"
Tang En had no choice but to carry Elijah on his head again.
Tang En understood Elijah very well. In this situation, anything could happen. It would not be strange if all the skeletons around them jumped up and attacked them. After all, Elijah was a child. Of course, she would be scared.
The atmosphere here was really strange and oppressive. This was much scarier than the mass graves on Earth. The pale white world made Tang En feel terrible.
This had nothing to do with strength. It was purely the oppressive feeling brought by the environment. It made people's minds run wild. He felt that he was going to have snow blindness.
"What's wrong?"
Aiguin looked back and tilted her head in thought. Then, she handed her left hand to Elijah and asked curiously, "Are you scared? It is said that if humans are scared, they will seek protection. Is that right? "
Aiguin's skin was gentle and delicate. It was impossible to tell that this was the hand of a powerful female elf.
Looking at Aiguin's little white hand, Tang En had the urge to replace Elijah at this moment …
"No need, big brother will protect me."
After sitting on Tang En's neck, Elijah felt a lot more at ease.
After being rejected by Elijah, Aiguin did not care. She said as she walked, "Fear is normal. In places where necromancers appear, there will usually be an aura of fear. If one's mind is not strong enough, it will be easy to be affected."
Tang En admired Aiguin. As an elf who loved life, she could remain calm when seeing bones all over the ground. How strong was her mind?
Tang En forgot that the skeletons on the ground were all human corpses. If there were elven corpses here, Aiguin would also be angry.
Aiguin suddenly stopped and looked around.
Tang En immediately raised his vigilance, "What's wrong?"
Aiguin bowed slightly. Her long golden hair poured down like a waterfall, half of her cheeks. The female elf's eyes were a little sad.
"Why did you bow for them?"
Twain was stunned for a moment. In this world, there were not many people who could make a legendary expert bow, not to mention an Elven Sword Saint to a few nameless human skeletons. He could not understand Aegwynn's behavior.
"These humans didn't have to die. But because I didn't come as soon as possible, they died here. "
"No way? These people have been dead for god knows how many years. How could it be related to you? "
Tang En was shocked. The bones on the ground were crushed with one step. It was obvious that they had been weathered. If they were not a hundred years old, they were at least a few decades old.
"No, they died this morning."
Aiguin looked at Tang En and said seriously, "If I hadn't met you yesterday and delayed my journey, I would have killed that necromancer last night."
"Then they wouldn't have died today."
Tang En's heart skipped a beat. At this time, he suddenly remembered a sentence.
Is it my fault?
"You don't have to blame yourself."
Aiguin saw Tang En's embarrassment. She also shook her ears awkwardly and whispered, "Everyone's fate is different. Maybe my meeting with you is the goddess's will."
Nola raised her hand and shouted, "She can't control my fate."
Aiguin chuckled and pressed down Nola's little hand, "Although it's true, I'll be angry if you say that about the goddess."
Nola suddenly closed her mouth angrily.
What she said was indeed the truth. In the world of Prandal, the elves were the creations of the Goddess Nisclaire, while the humans were the common products of the Twelve Gods. The fairies were different. They had already existed in this world when the Gods created life. Of course, they were not natives of this world.
Tang En turned his head and saw Aiguin looking at him gently. There was a hint of expectation in her beautiful eyes. Tang En's heart skipped a beat. No way? Do I really have to do this?
But when he thought about how a legendary hero had bowed to them, no matter how unhappy Tang En was, he still bent down and bowed to them.
"They will definitely sleep peacefully in the arms of Gerry Terence."
Aiguin said softly. Tang En nodded. Aiguin had a better impression of him.
The elves were a race that loved life, whether it was alive or dead. As long as you were full of reverence for life, you would gain their favor. Of course, it was just a little bit.
"But how did the corpses become like this when they died not long ago?"
Tang En was still a little puzzled. This was not scientific!
"There's a necromancer here. It's normal."
Aiguin explained, "They can disintegrate the flesh and extract the residual power in the bones of the dead. Without the support of magic, these bones will become very fragile."
Tang En suddenly understood. He did not know much about necromancers.
So they continued to go deeper into the Forest of Pale.
Not long after, Aiguin stopped again. Even Nola stood up.
"What's wrong?"
Aiguin signaled Tang En to stop talking. "There's a situation in front."
Nola flapped her wings and said, "It's humans — and something that Nola hates."
"It's not convenient for you to fight with Elijah. Wait here. I'll go ahead and take a look."
Aiguin took out two swords and said, "I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she instantly disappeared.
Elijah said weakly, "Big brother, am I dragging you down …"
"Of course not."
Tang En smiled and said, "Bringing you along won't affect my battle."
He looked around. There was no color in the white forest. The vast expanse of whiteness made him dizzy. A person would really go crazy if they stayed in this place for too long.
This made Tang En admire the scientists on Earth who had been in Antarctica for a long time.
"Ka, ka —"
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard. Tang En frowned and took out his sword.
"Ka, ka —"
The sound was getting closer and closer. Elijah subconsciously hugged Tang En's head.
"In this case … it should be skeletons."
The mages of Prandal did not have the time to classify the resurrected skeletons. Besides, there were no Skeleton Generals or Skeleton Elves here. Anyone could see through the strength of the skeletons resurrected by the necromancers with a single glance.
The resurrected skeletons were not powerful enemies. They moved slowly and relied on a pitiful amount of magic and soul power to move. An experienced mercenary could take on two of them at once.
The only problem was that the resurrected skeletons were dead. No matter how you beat them, they would still be dead. To defeat them, the only way was to completely crush them, disperse all the power in their bones, or directly kill the necromancer who provided them with power.
Obviously, the sword in Tang En's hand was not a good weapon to deal with the skeletons. It would be better to change it to a war hammer.
"It's coming!"
Suddenly, a moving skeleton appeared in his field of vision. Tang En suddenly opened his eyes wide. This was the first time in his life that he saw a skeleton that could move by itself. Of course, the ones in the game did not count!
At this time, Tang En felt a little strange.
Scary? Not at all. In front of his strength, these skeletons were just small fries.
Scared? Of course, he was not scared. Although many people on Earth were afraid of ghosts, fundamentally, humans were afraid of the unknown. Being able to see something could overcome their fear.
So what was it?
Looking at the resurrected skeleton walking towards him, Tang En thought for a while and suddenly realized.
As a 21st-century youth who was born in the new China and grew up under the red flag, he had already been baptized by the explosion of knowledge. The first feeling he had when he saw the resurrected skeleton was not fear, nor was it fear. It was — — funny!
Yes, it was funny!
