Chapter 8 Elliot

Elliott has always considered himself lucky.

When he was a child, the village was captured by robbers. After the robbers ransacked the village, he burned the entire village. Elote escaped by hiding in a dry well.

After that, he wandered all the way in the forest, and if he was an ordinary teenager, he would either starve to death or be eaten by wild beasts. But in the forest, Elliot was always lucky enough to find food, perhaps wild fruits that could be picked, or rotting corpses left over from beasts.

One time, Elliot was forced into a tunnel by a group of beasts. Just as he was curling up waiting to die, he suddenly found that the beasts hesitated to come forward. In the end, he gave up the food on his lips and chose to leave. The gloomy aura of Elliot has always been fresh in his memory.

It was not until Elote, who became a necromancer many years later, returned to this place, only to find that it was a tomb that had been placed for an unknown period of time, and a middle-high-level undead creature was sleeping in it.

There was also a time when Elliott was found by people in the forest after he fainted from starvation, and the people who found him took him back to the village where he lived. The man did not express disgust for Elliot's status as a vagabond, and even proposed to adopt him, while Elliot showed an unworldly appearance, and took his Money and food continue to wander.

After wandering like this for a long time, Elote came to the gathering place of the Necromancer: Diya, just in time for the day when the Necromancer Academy was widely accepting apprentices. As long as you have the heart and will to become a Necromancer, you can join the Necromancer Academy and become a Necromancer apprentice. Elliott entered the Necromancer Academy in this way.

After becoming an apprentice, Elliot discovered that things were not as simple as he thought. Learning any kind of knowledge in the Necromancer Academy would cost gold coins, and the academy would forcefully issue some tasks to test the strength of the Necromancer apprentice.

Without gold coins to learn skills, nor the ability to complete tasks, Elliot was eventually reduced to being sent to experiment with undead transformation in the Necromancer Academy.

Elliott clearly remembered that there were about a dozen people who participated in the transformation with him at that time. Apart from the apprentices who were also unable to complete the task, there were many people he had never met. Elote didn't know what happened during the transformation, only that there was only one apprentice who survived in the end.

Elliott did not feel the specific changes that this transformation brought to his body. He only knew that after the experiment was completed, he had obtained a bulging bag of gold coins.

With this money, Elalt learned about meditation at the Necromancer Academy, as well as some of the basics of being a Necromancer.

However, after Elliot learned a few spells, the money was not much left. No way, in order to continue to learn knowledge, Elliot can only find a way to take some tasks to earn gold coins.

At this time, the tomb that he had encountered in the wandering process appeared in Elliot's consciousness. The tomb of a powerful undead creature is sleeping. If it is used well, it can create a lot of undead creatures. In addition to being used for fighting, undead creatures have their own value, and any town in Diya has a place to exchange undead creatures for gold coins.

Thinking of this, Elliot was ready to set off. Because the wandering time was too long, Elliot could only roughly remember one direction, and the exact location of the tomb could not be determined.

But Elliot didn't think so much, just like he had escaped death many times before, Elliott believed that his luck would help him find the tomb.

If it was as Elliot expected, it took him a few months to find the tomb in the territory of Eri, which is close to Diya.

Then it gradually accumulates. As other necromancers do, Elalt does everything he can to increase his undead creatures. Whether it is a passing traveler or a resident of a nearby small village, after Elliot releases magic to kill them, he uses the tomb to quickly transform the undead creatures.

Wait until the strength has accumulated to a certain level,

With these undead creatures under his command, Elote began to slaughter the surrounding small villages.

In order to deal with the possible resistance forces in the village, Elliot began to attack the village at night each time. Due to the ignorance of the villagers and the fear of undead creatures, Elote can defeat the basic defense of the village very well.

Even if he encounters a professional who can deal with undead creatures in the village, Elote, who is hidden in the dark, often only needs to release magical arrows one after another to seriously injure him. This is also because the rank of the professionals in the village is too low. In the process of attacking the village, Elliot has not yet encountered a senior professional.

After attacking the small village, Elote further strengthened his strength by transforming the corpses of the villagers into undead creatures. Then, he set his sights on ordinary villages.

After a successful raid, Elalt discovers a natural hero among the villagers the undead creatures are about to slaughter. This hero has no training and is not even comparable to the Skeletons in the beginning. But with her heroic potential, Elliot knew that she had found a treasure.

The necromancer can make dead heroes into high-level undead, but it is obviously impossible to complete it at Elot's current level. Reason told Elliot that the best way was to sell her. A born hero, her heroic status and growth are doomed to her high price.

After disposing of the corpses in the village, Elote went to a nearby town and sold the hero to the largest transport and slave trade organization on the continent: the Freelancer Chamber of Commerce. Of course, this town is just a remote branch of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.

Elliot, who got the huge amount of gold coins, once again felt his luck. After destroying five or six villages, the property and the transformed undead creatures were worth only a few hundred gold coins, but he sold the hero and got 4,000 gold coins.

After that, there is some shopping, and the gold coins are exchanged for the items that you need the most. On the way back, Elote also noticed that someone was following him, but finally saw his undead creature and retreated because he didn't know his strength.

"The profit from this time is enough for me to study until the official necromancer. After dealing with the last undead creature, let's go back to the academy." Elliot, who was about to return to the tomb, thought so.

…………

The warning brought by perception broke Rhodes' original quiet and peaceful state of mind. As if a rock fell into the water, causing ripples on the surface of the water, Rhodes immediately exited the state of meditation.

Opening his eyes, Rhode knew that the necromancer apprentice had returned.
