Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse Chapter 173

Chapter 173: The consortium can protect you

 In terms of portrait, there are some differences from the former Blackstone Town Arnel.

 He has a beard and his hair is much longer than before, but the outline of his face is still recognizable. He is Anel.

 Perhaps he was not the captain and had been in depression for a while, or he might have dressed up like this to disguise himself.

But what is certain is that he is his old colleague, Anel.

He has not been in the Blackstone Association for a long time, and he has not had much contact with Anel.

The key point of conflict between them lies in the deacon 'Yazd'.

At that time, 'Yazd's plan against him failed, and Anel, who was guarding the door, attacked him.

 It is certain that Anel is a close associate of 'Yazd'.

 Know some plans.

Anel's attack was unsuccessful, and he was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he left Blackstone Town directly after leaving a letter to the team.

 Said he was going back to his hometown.

 But now it seems that he did not do what he said in the letter.

 Come to Luntam City.

 He left Blackstone Town earlier than himself, and probably arrived at Luntam City earlier.

This had to make Wu Heng start to doubt his purpose of coming here again.

 As for the last assassination, was it an accidental encounter or was it prepared in advance?

“Captain, do you know him?” The leader of the Scorpion Claw Gang asked Wu Heng after identifying the portrait.

“I don't know him, haven't you seen him before?” Wu Heng shook his head and asked.

 Anel, related to the matter of his being taken away from his body.

In Blackstone Town, he didn't want this to be too obvious, and he feels the same way now.

 The leader looked at his younger brother, "Stop **** drawing."

"Boss, look at what you said. If that person doesn't know, then he just says he doesn't know. It's just making up what a person does." The younger brother immediately defended.

 “Yeah, that's right.”

The leader of Scorpion Claw sat on the straw mat and thought for a while, then continued: "Captain, this matter must have something to do with this kid. Why don't you go and tell the deacon that we have found a clue? You have to arrest someone to make up for your mistakes. If you catch this person then, you won't have to worry about it, right?"

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows but did not refuse.

"Well, that's right. I'll inform the deacon. It's up to you what to say."

 “Okay, thank you very much, captain.” The other party thanked him immediately.

Wu Heng walked out of the dungeon directly and went to the deacon's study.

Talked briefly to Deacon Gomez what had just happened.

Gomez then met with the gang leader and listened to his ideas.

  Looked at the portrait.

 But it was obvious that no one in Luntam City knew Anel.

 After some discussion, it was decided to release the gang leader and continue investigating the matter.

Of course, I didn't just let him go without any reason.

  It is necessary to catch or find specific information about this person within a week.

 There is no name or specific information, and a wanted order cannot be issued.

 So some detailed information is needed.

Hearing that he was being let out, the boss of the Scorpion Claw Gang thanked him profusely and promised that if the other party was still in the outer area of ​​the city, he would be arrested even if he was turned upside down.

The deacon didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.

 After saying a few simple words, he let him go.

 At noon, Wu Heng and the leader of the Scorpion Claw Gang walked out of the association together.

“Remember to inform me if anything happens.” Wu Heng said.

"Okay, captain, don't worry, I will help you catch that kid and vent your anger," the other party said.

Wu Heng nodded, "Okay, go back quickly."

The other party nodded, took his younger brother, and left quickly.

Wu Heng stood at the door and looked around.

　　He did not go back to the association, but went directly to the consortium.

 There are two main threats to ourselves now.

 One is Anel, who failed to assassinate himself.

 The second one is the Secret Order who wants to take back the props in their hands.

Wu Heng even suspected that there was some kind of connection between the two of them, otherwise they would not be so close in time.

 But everything is just my own guess.

 There is no substantial evidence.

 In the consortium lounge.

Wu Heng sat on the sofa and rested for a while. The door opened and the person in charge, 'Lecia', walked in slowly. Her appearance and figure were still beautiful.

 “Good afternoon, Captain Wu Heng.” Lecia said with a smile.

Wu Heng also smiled and said: "Has there been any result regarding the skill book commission?"

"Wait a moment." Lecia said, calling the staff to check the commission record.

 The staff returned soon, holding two skill books in their hands.

Lecia checked it herself first, and then handed it to the other party's hand. "It seems that the commission has come to fruition."

Wu Heng took it in his hand and examined it.

 【Bone Arms】【Corpse Cage】. 【Bone Arms】

 (Description: Use necromancy magic to form a bone armor around the user (can be effective at the same time as physical armor, but cannot be effective at the same time as magic protection skills). The armor is formed to provide magic and physical protection for itself.)

  A set of magic skills that can form armor.

  There is no record of this skill in the Necronomicon.

 Either it is a relatively unpopular ability, or it is a skill developed after the Necronomicon.

  But among the skills of the 'Mage' camp, there is a skill called [Mage Armor], which provides a magic force field to increase defense.

 The skill in front of me is obviously similar to this kind of magic.

  It should be re-developed using necromancy magic based on the basics.

From Wu Heng's perspective, this skill is still very useful.

 Necromancer sounds evil and scary, but his attributes are still a fragile profession.

 Once you are in danger, it is difficult to achieve the effects of protection and self-rescue.

 Magical skills that can generate armor largely make up for this weakness.

 Can reduce certain risks.

ˆContinue to view the second skill.

 【Cage of dead bodies】

  (Description: A fixed cubic bone prison is formed at a designated location within the casting distance. The caster can control the magic energy to control the bone density.

 If a trapped target cannot break out of the trap using physical attacks, its body and soul will not be able to escape at the same time.

 The casting site has enough bones and will remain in the same state. A cage without bones and formed using necromancy magic will consume its own mental power as the cage continues until it stops casting spells. )

  This is another rare skill.

  I seem to have read the corresponding introduction in the Necronomicon, but I can't remember it clearly. It seems to be a high-level skill.

 I don't know if I can study at my current level.

The things collected by the consortium this time are really impressive.

 The two skills obtained are more practical and advanced than the last time.

The effect of [Dead Cage] is also very simple and easy to understand.

 Use necromancy magic to form a bone prison within the casting area.

Once the target is trapped and the opponent cannot break the cage through physical means, not only his body cannot leave, but even his soul cannot escape the cage.

 In other words, even if the target is in a cage, he cannot escape as a soul.

 This also means being able to imprison ghosts.

 This aspect is quite powerful. Once the opponent is trapped, it will be difficult to have a chance to escape.

I have to say that this skill is still very powerful.

 Especially to trap the soul.

It is impossible to give up the body and escape.

 After reading the two skills, put them back on the table.

Lecia's jade legs were crossed, and her straight white calves were visible under her skirt. She said softly: “Captain Wu Heng, are you satisfied with the skill book?”

Wu Heng glanced at it, nodded and said, "I'm quite satisfied."

"This commission took a little longer, and I'm really afraid that you won't be satisfied." Lecia patted her plump chest.

 “No one meant to delay this matter.”

"Yes." Lecia leaned forward, revealing two full and squeezed ravines under her deep V dress. She said in a coquettish tone: "Captain, the balance is 330 silver coins. These two skill books are not obtained casually. of."

Wu Heng smiled and nodded, pointed out the corresponding silver coins and handed them over, and continued: "You will still help me collect skill books in the future. Money is not an issue, and the time should be shortened as much as possible."

 “Okay Captain.” Lecia put the money away and filled out a new power of attorney.

He raised his head and looked over with a pair of beautiful eyes, "I heard that the captain has been in trouble recently?"

Wu Heng was startled and realized that he was talking about Anel.

He nodded and said, "Yeah, I don't know who shot an arrow at me when I was on a mission. I haven't found that person yet?"

"Actually, the association's 'field envoys' are very risky. They face wanted criminals and criminals. They can reach the level of captain, and they have more or less enemies." Lecia saw the confusion in his eyes and continued: " I'm curious. With your financial resources, you don't seem to need this position, so why take this risk?”

Wu Heng understood what she meant.

 In fact, he also thought about giving up his status as a professional association.

 Opening a small shop by yourself, with a maid waiting by your side, life is actually pretty good.

 But if you think about it carefully, it's actually not that simple.

This world is very chaotic, with fights, robberies and killings, and even on the orc side, there are battles between tribes.

 Many people die in these situations every day.

If you lose your status as the captain of the association, you will only have more troubles.

Perhaps if you open a store today, all the gangs will come over tomorrow to cause trouble.

 It seems that he took a lot of risks by working for the association.

 Similarly, he is the captain of the association, and the association is his backer.

 Except for outlaws, no one wants to be put on a wanted warrant easily.

Without this identity, you have to rely on yourself to deal with any enemy you encounter.

 At that time, it will really be a situation of fighting if you can win, and dying if you can't, with no room for maneuver at all.

Wu Heng glanced at the woman who was still waiting for his answer, smiled and said: "The association recruited me when I was in difficulty, how can I leave easily."

"The captain is quite friendly." Lecia praised professionally and continued: "If there is really a danger one day, and the association is not willing to protect you, you can come directly to the consortium, and the consortium can protect you. Safety."

Wu Heng raised his head, with some doubts and surprise in his eyes.
