Chapter 2457: Ping Planting Vegetables

The arrival of the Absolute Balance was no secret to the Skork rebels.

In fact, long before she and the Son of Justice Avery set out from Dunbuya City, Mo Tan had already contacted Chao Yue Kui in the Skork stronghold through a friend's message, and the cat-girl warlock immediately informed Skork, who had already abandoned his own name. So when Juechen Tianping arrived, the leadership of the rebels had already made preparations and solemnly held a welcoming ceremony for the white-haired lady who looked like a bean sprout.

In short - it was a good meal.

Of course, whether it was the dozens of leading cadres who hosted the welcoming ceremony or the non-mainstream necromancers who participated in the welcoming ceremony, the focus of both sides was not on eating. In fact, only the alchemy apprentice Lisa Zalburk, who was brought by Luna to eat, enjoyed the dinner. After all, for a village with scarce resources, just having something to eat was already very good.

You know, before Luna came, even the simplest juice and high-protein food were luxuries. Although the latter solved this problem to a certain extent, considering that she was not sensitive to details such as taste, those nutritious, low-cost, mass-produced foods were very unpopular, at least among children.

Even Lisa, who respected her mentor immensely and idolized Luna, would find ways to delay her mealtimes every day, making herself feel sufficiently hungry before eating so that she would ignore the taste of the food as much as possible.

As Lisa's mentor, although Luna did not learn how to cook for her, she was not completely indifferent. For example, when she learned that there was such a welcome party, although she had some ongoing alchemy projects on hand, she still took Lisa to have a free meal.

So the question is, since the focus is not on eating, what is the focus of this dinner?

The answer is very simple. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that what makes Skork and other rebel leaders and the necromancer who came from the city of Dumbuya both worried is, of course, the 'necromancer', which is a very fashionable and cool upper-class profession in most game works.

After all, in many works, these mysterious spellcasters who fiddle with death and dark forces are portrayed as strong and handsome. It seems that in people's eyes, they are much more popular than those common mages, warriors, and thieves, such as necromancer, demon hunter, death knight, and dark ranger, which sound very strong and powerful.

Even for a long time, this profession, which doesn't sound like a serious job, was a sure win for the protagonist in novels and animations outside of games. If it was added with a background of deep hatred and a lot of grief, and the story wasn't too bad, it could basically attract some fans.

In fact, as an artist who has gained some fame outside the game for the "Chinese-style Dragon Girl" incident, but who thinks he is unworthy of the position, Juechen Tianping has also created many non-main... cough, dark Gothic postmodern works, which have good traffic and response. So when she just became the apprentice of Ms. Elphis Surk, although she was trembling with fear because of her extreme fear of bones, Tianping girl had thought about whether she, who had such a wonderful experience, would make rapid progress after becoming a necromancer and embark on the path of a domineering and cool Dark Empress!

After all, Academy City is a place with a superior status in the entire continent, and Naxxramas Comprehensive College has a strong faculty even in Academy City (after all, there are too few teachers who can survive the teaching exam without being beaten to death, and even fewer students who can pass the exam properly), and his own mentor, Ms. Elphis Surk, is a former dean who has retired to the second line!

Honestly, with the BUFFs stacked up to this extent, it's understandable that the Libra girl would think that she might not be the protagonist. After all, until her first class with Ms. Surk, everything had developed in a frighteningly smooth way.

Unfortunately, after finishing the first lesson, Juechen Tianping discovered a sad fact—

The frightening aspect hasn't changed, but the two words 'kingly way' in front are gone. Not only that, it has even become a way to death!

The reason is simple, mainly because the reputation of the Necromancer profession is really bad.

As for how bad he was, since it has been mentioned several times before, I will not elaborate here. All you need to remember is "Yi Dong usually traveled around the world, not to mention transforming, he even dared not to call a ghost for fear of being beaten to death by knowledgeable people passing by."

Although Libra is a formal student with the support of Naxxramas Academy, the problem is that once she leaves Academy City, her student ID card, which could save her a lot of trouble, will not be so useful. To put it bluntly, once her identity as a necromancer is exposed, let alone whether the heroes who come to fight evil will recognize her student ID card, even if they do, the probability of Juechen Libra surviving and taking out her student ID card is not high.

All in all, she has now deeply realized that in the game [Realm of Innocence], which is a damn logical game, the necromancer is actually a very unwelcome existence. In a broad sense, he can be said to be hated by everyone. Compared with the street rats that everyone hates, the main difference is that there are not as many necromancers as street rats.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After almost being hacked to death outside the city of Dunbuya, Miss Tianping is now a little nervous. For example, when she secretly arrived at the Skork stronghold under the protection of Avery, the first sentence she said to the man named "Skolk" was - I am Juechen Tianping, a necromancer.

And the second sentence is - please don't kill me.

It can be seen that although there are elements of joking and livening up the atmosphere, the Libra girl is obviously really afraid of being beaten. The senior leaders of the [Skolk Resistance] headed by Skork, Batu and others, although they know very well that the other party is here to help, they are also a little worried about her profession.

Unlike Luna Lynch's [Human Alchemy] which is also taboo but unknown to everyone, the Necromancer is not only highly recognizable, but also well-known. For example, if one villain in one hundred thousand bardic stories is an evil alchemist who masters [Human Alchemy], then five out of ten bardic stories will have Necromancers as their villain!

To sum up, if the difficulty of Luna hiding the fact that she knows [Human Transmutation] is equivalent to "a Nanjing person disguising herself as a Beijing person", then the difficulty of Libra girl hiding the fact that she is a necromancer is about the same as "a Tokyo person disguising herself as a Viking".

Indeed, if the Libra girl had not been out to enjoy the scenery the whole time, there would probably not be any problem. After all, unlike Yidong, she is a living person with a good family background and does not have that bad zombie smell. But the problem is that she knows very well that she is not here to sightsee at the [Skolk Resistance]. In fact, there is not much light to see here. The overall style is so miserable that insurance companies are unwilling to sell accident insurance outside the game.

So, after some discussion, both parties unanimously decided to conceal the situation of Juechen Tianping from everyone. During this period of time, Tianping girl will temporarily live in the small woods in the south to brew her evil and dark plan -

“It’s actually bone hyperplasia.”

Juechen Tianping shrugged his shoulders and said with relief on his face, "What a pity. The area around Skork Village is very 'clean'. This is not good news for a necromancer like me who specializes in bone control."

The cat girl sorcerer leaning against the door, who was called to the grove by Juechen Tianping through a friend message, shook her ears and asked curiously, "You say it's a pity, so why do you look so happy?"

"Because wild skeletons are bad civilization, when people die they should be cremated and turned into ashes, and ashes are good civilization!"

The Libra girl rolled her eyes and sighed deeply. "But objectively speaking, a place like this where there are basically no corpses to use is really hard for a necromancer like me who is only good at one subject. To be honest, even in Heifan's Dunbuya city, there are a lot of 'materials' around that can give me nightmares at night."

At this moment, Luna, who was boiling some weird vegetable juice, suddenly said, "I remember there was a cemetery in the village. Is it empty?"

Juechen Tianping: “…Ah?”

"Didn't you say that it would be difficult to perform without the corpse?"

Luna gently stirred the pot in front of her at a fixed frequency and said casually, "Logically, there should be a lot of corpses in the cemetery. And I heard that Skork has only settled here for a few years, so the corpses there should be relatively fresh. They should be good material for you, right?"

“Ugh—”

At this moment, Reina, the girl who was huddled in the corner of the room with her friends, suddenly shuddered. She looked at the 'Mojia' who had won everyone's respect these days with lingering fear, her eyes full of disbelief.

Not only her, the two boys, Dagran and Lot, also looked unhappy. To be honest, after things were explained clearly, they had already changed their views on the profession of Necromancer. As a result, Luna almost ruined the Libra girl's image as a genuine good child with just two sentences.

"What are you talking about!" Fortunately, Juechen Tianping, who had just been forced to shut down by Luna's chat, quickly woke up and made a sharp cry: "How perverted do I have to be to let these warriors fight side by side with their grandmothers!" If that were the case, I would be the first one to be hacked to death!

Hearing this, Luna turned to look at the four children in the corner and asked, "Does your grandmother have a grandmother buried in the cemetery?"

The children all shook their heads in unison and said in unison: "No."

"look."

Luna gave a smile that seemed a little proud, but also seemed to be nothing: "There's not much milk in it."

"The question is whether it's too milky!"

Juechen Tianping slapped his thigh hard and continued to scream sharply: "The problem is that I can't just play with the corpses of other people's relatives and friends!"

Luna nodded: "Oh."

"oh!?"

Seeing that the other party accepted her statement so nonchalantly, and had no intention of further discussing it, the Libra girl almost suffocated to death.

"Luna is like this. You have to get used to it. Once you get used to it, it will be fine."

As a person who has experienced this, Chao Yue Kui kindly comforted the seemingly pitiful, weak and helpless Necromancer, and then asked: "So what exactly do you mean by bone hyperplasia? Is it a medical term?"

Juechen Tianping patted his chest, managed to calm down, and explained seriously: "That's not the case. To put it simply, it is a special kind of undead magic. The principle... is to make the skeletons multiply continuously. Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, it is actually no different from other spellcasters in constructing positions."

"I'm a warlock, which is also a spellcaster."

Asayuki Aoi subconsciously tucked her tail between her legs and said honestly, "I think the difference is quite big."

"It's already pretty good. Don't forget that I'm a professional. Unlike those undead mages who take wild paths, the skills we learn are all natural and pollution-free. They are healthy and new concepts of necromancy."

Juechen Tianping pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a dead look on his face: "You can understand it as, I will carry some bones with me, bury them in the ground when needed, and then use the undead magic to make these bones continue to multiply, just like planting vegetables."

Chaoyue Kui tilted her head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't connect the two things, growing vegetables and bone hyperplasia.

So, the Libra girl explained further. In simple terms, she could multiply a small amount of bones into a large amount of bones in a way that did not damage the environment and did not violate ethical and moral conscience. As a necromancer specializing in holding, if she wanted to play a role, she must have enough bone resources. So since coming to Skork, this diligent necromancer has been committed to transforming the environment of the grove in the south. As a result, she was almost scared to tears by a few children who sneaked into the "construction site" today.

"We were wrong..."

Reina bowed to the seemingly nice necromancer sensibly and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, witch sister. We won't sneak over to disturb you next time!"

"Sister Witch...what's that name?"

"So, witch lady?"

"Damn it, I actually understood it."

"So can you forgive us?"

"I don't blame you in the first place. Alright, alright, go back now. Remember not to tell anyone about me!"

"Thank you, witch granny!"

"Call me sister..."

"Thank you, witch sister!"

"Believe it or not, I eat children!"

"Um, this Necromancer sister..."

"what?"

"Can you teach me the magic of necromancy?"
