This was a difficult choice. Although I repeatedly reminded myself not to fall for the old man's trick and that I couldn't agree to his request, the temptation I faced was simply too great.
For a newbie like me who often visited the Resurrection Cloister, the Undead Space was definitely the best place to go. I didn't have to be alone in a daze anymore. I could cultivate in another way so that my strength wouldn't be too far behind others. With the skills of two combat classes and the Hell Skeleton Horse, he should be able to help Wind.
However, I still had a deep sense of wariness towards this damned old man in front of me. This old man was definitely not a kind person. He would ingratiate himself and lure me with benefits. He even gave me a top-grade pet and insisted that I sign another contract. What was going on? Why couldn't he make me a Necromancer? If I'm not willing, there will always be someone willing to do it. With his status as the dignified Death God, is it worth spending so much time on a small character like me? I'm not so arrogant as to think that I'm the reincarnation of the Undead God. The Undead race relies on me to revitalize themselves. They can't do without me.
"This…Lord Grim Reaper, I'm just an insignificant person. Why do you have to waste so much time on me? If you have the time, you might have already recruited a few believers. With such good benefits, there will definitely be many players who want to become a Necromancer.”
" No, no." The old man hurriedly explained to me," Little brother, you're saying this because you haven't completely understood yourself. You don't know the huge potential that exists in you. I told you long ago that you are a genius with outstanding talent: Your innate intelligence is the highest, five stars, and your storage belt has top-grade attributes. With your high spiritual power, you're definitely a treasure among the necromancers. It's rare to see you in a hundred years. What's even more rare is your innate skill,'Undead Summoning'. This is originally something that can only be learned by a Level 5 Great Necromancer. You have to complete an extremely difficult mission, unlike you, who has already mastered it as soon as you changed your profession. It saves you a lot of trouble. Moreover, most people's innate skills were below level 3. The opportunity to have a level 5 skill was definitely something that could only be encountered by luck!”
The old man paused for a moment before continuing,"Undead Summoning is one of the most powerful skills in Undead Magic. It's also a buy one get one free and comes with the Soul Contract spell. The innate skill allows you to increase the success rate of casting Undead Summoning and strengthen the power of the spell. This means that you can summon more and more powerful Undead creatures to help you in battle with the same strength. One had to know that the only way to win in a battle was to bully the weak with the strong and fight against the few with the many. With a powerful undead army protecting you, the chances of you being killed by others would be smaller. Moreover, there was a high chance that you could master and use the ultimate secret of summoning the undead, the Death God's Banquet. This was not a realm that anyone could reach. You had to at least advance to the ninth level of the profession, the Grand Magus Saint Undead, to be qualified to learn it. As for whether you could use it, it would depend on your innate talent. Under these conditions, suitable candidates were extremely rare. Otherwise, why would I have to be so humble?”
"Is this 'Death God's Banquet' that important?”
"Of course, this is a skill that is related to the development of our Undead race. With this magic, I can appear in the human world and ruthlessly attack the arrogance of those birdmen. I can revive the reputation of the Undead race and rebuild the glorious image of our Undead race in front of the world. If it wasn't for the fact that there were only a few necromancers in the past who had the strength to cast this spell, I wouldn't have allowed the Church of Light to grow so powerful. I would have long since destroyed their temples and destroyed their churches. The so-called " Angel Descent " was just a paper tiger. It wasn't even enough.”
The old man was exaggerating, but it did make some sense. Actually, I didn't think that the power of the undead was evil. There was no distinction between good and evil in power. It was the human heart that determined good and evil. Becoming a Necromancer wasn't a big deal. As long as I was righteous, upright, and powerful enough, I wouldn't be afraid of anyone.
"Then why sign another contract? Didn't you sign it just now?"
"This is the ultimate soul contract. Generally speaking, the person who signed it must be at least a level 5 profession. They have already been officially recognized by our undead race and become core members. If you sign it, you can give your soul even more power. Even with your current weak strength, as long as you don't encounter the Pope, a Cardinal, or a Holy Knight, no one can destroy your soul. This is also to better protect you. You are a genius that I personally selected, and you have also obtained an extremely precious super pet, the Hell Skeleton Horse. You are the hope of the Undead race to rise again in the human world. If anything happens to you, it will be a huge loss for the Undead race! You wouldn't want to reach a very high level, but because of an accident, all your previous efforts would be wasted and you would be beaten back to your original state.”
The old man's words deeply moved me. After thinking about it and weighing it over and over again, the results were all positive. There was nothing more suitable for my development than becoming a Necromancer. The damned old man didn't say anything else. He just sat there quietly, waiting for my decision.
After much hesitation, I finally picked up my pen and signed my name on the Ultimate Soul Contract. I hoped to become stronger, not only for Wind, but also for my unfulfilled dreams.
As the petals scattered and the music rang, the old man raised his glass excitedly to celebrate the successful completion of his first business. I clinked wine glasses with the old man and couldn't help but feel as if I had been deceived. It was as if I had missed out on something, but I couldn't think of anything. This old man seemed to be getting smarter and smarter.
What happened next was much simpler. First, he gave me a badge that represented a Necromancer. He should have given it to me from the start, but because this old man wasn't too familiar with his business, he forgot about it. He only gave it to me now. There was a skeleton holding a magic staff engraved on the badge, representing the profession of a Necromancer. The badge was red, indicating that it was a Level 1 profession. As one's level increased, the color of the badge would also change. In order, it was red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, silver, and gold. The badge I obtained was also a good item. It actually had the additional attribute of "HP recovery speed increased by 5%." This was an extremely useful attribute. Even the old man lamented my good luck. The items I obtained all had some top-grade attributes. However, unless I wanted to reveal my true identity as a Necromancer, I couldn't wear this badge on my chest, and it wouldn't work without it. Sob sob, why am I a necromancer that can't be seen in the light?
After I dripped my blood on it, I hatched the Hell Skeleton Horse. It was a pitch-black skeleton pony, and every bone of it was shiny black. Its entire body was covered in dark red flames, and it nestled beside me. It was lively and lively, and it looked very cute." Evolvable, Mountable ". It was not bad. Anyway, the old man said that it would evolve in the future and gain more attributes and skills. He looked pretty good, but he was a little too small. He was less than a meter tall, and he couldn't be ridden for the time being. He said that he would need some time to grow, which made me curse the old man in my heart.
Then, there was the most important thing-learning Necromagic. This was the foundation of survival and could not be neglected. Currently, I can only learn two types of Necromagic: The skill "Soul Contract" and the Level 1 Profession Skill "Fire Scale Bomb" were included. There was no need to talk about the Soul Contract. It was the most basic spell of Undead Summoning and could increase the limit of one's mental strength. However, it was only effective against Undead creatures." Fire Scale Bomb " was the lowest level of attack magic. It produced a ball of phosphorous fire to attack the enemy. It could attach to the enemy's body and burn for a while, increasing additional damage. However, the range was relatively short. If he wanted to learn more advanced magic and improve his strength quickly, he could only work hard to increase his experience points and strive to advance as soon as possible.
The old man gave me a simple introduction to the basic situation of the Necromancer. The nine levels were Apprentice Necromancer, Beginner Necromancer, Intermediate Necromancer, Advanced Necromancer, Great Necromancer, Necromancer Mage, Necromancer Grand Mage, and Necromancer Saint Mage. Promotion quests below Level 5 were completed in the Undead Forest in the Eastern Continent. From Level 6 onwards, one had to teleport to the Western Continent, pass through the Death Canyon there, and reach the Undead Castle to complete the Promotion Quest.
I secretly cursed him for being a pervert. If he didn't have a strong backing, entering the enemy's base camp like this would be a narrow escape!
