Chapter two hundred and twenty-five, Shiryō

After trekking in the Gobi for about half a day, cold Nebula is looking for a shady place to sit down and rest, eat some dry food and drink the manna peculiar to the elves to replenish his strength.

Looking around at the vast expanse of the Gobi, trying to find a suitable place to rest, the cold nebula suddenly found that there seems to be a small city not far ahead...

"Can there be a city in such a place? Can there be a mirage in the GOBI? " Cold Nebula said so, but still stepped forward to the small city standing in the Gobi.

When the cold Nebula came to the so-called small city against the fierce wind on the Gobi, there was no embarrassed smile. The so-called "city" in front of us was really a little pitiful, perhaps such a complex can not be called a city at all, but at most a small town with a half-high rampart.

From the collapsed gate can be seen, the town has been abandoned for a long time, the walls are full of peeling marks. Through the fallen gate you can see that the town's central street has been overgrown with weeds and the houses along the street have fallen into disrepair. It looks like it has been abandoned for many years.

"Oh, the original is the ruins of the Gobi Ah... " Cold Nebula looked at the eyes of this kind of careful, self-care muttered a sentence, then want to step into this has been abandoned town.

But just as the cold Nebula was about to step into the town, it felt a gust of wind and shivered uncontrollably.

"Hmm? How can there be such a feeling... " shivering in the hot sun on the Gobi, it was a strange feeling, and the cold Nebula took extra care not to enter the deserted town through the collapsing gate, but to take two slow steps backward and back again.

"In that case... let me see if this town is real or not! " Cold Nebula waved his hand and took off his hooded shawl, a pair of wings on the back of the shaking up, straight into the air.

As the cold nebula hovers in mid air on the pair of wings behind it, it becomes clear that this abandoned town, which has been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, is in a state of disrepair, as the cold Nebula shook its head to find a place to rest around the dilapidated town, it suddenly saw a place that made him feel very suspicious.

There was a room in the northwest section of the town that seemed out of place with the rest of the town, in a town neatly divided into four sections by cross street, although the material and style of the buildings in these towns are very similar, when Cold Nebula sees this house, it just feels different from the other houses around it.

"Angry! Angry! " Cold Nebula suddenly realized why the house was so prominent when he first saw the town!

Compared with the other dilapidated houses in the town, the house is old, but it still stands, the doors and windows are still intact... The doorway of the path seems to have been artificially stepped out of a long thin path, and around the street is full of weeds seems a little out of place...

"Is there anyone living here? " Cold Nebula's first thought when he saw the room was that it was inhabited, if not, the room was probably as dilapidated as the rest of the town.

Flitting slowly from the sky to the ground, the cold Nebula's heart still kept thinking, this has been abandoned town has people living in it? The people who live here are not ordinary people... Well, one more thing is better than one less thing, and who wants to live here has nothing to do with me, and it is only right that we should hurry to the principality of Vicomara and find that naughty and unreliable high priest. With this in mind, the cold nebula planned to continue on its way, bypassing the shabby town.

But just as the cold Nebula took its first steps, it felt a sudden tremor in the ground beneath it. Then the cold Nebula saw that the ground on the inner side of the town gate, not far from him, had been breached, a ghostly arm protruded from the ground and startled the cold nebula that stood outside the town.

But to the cold Nebula's surprise, this ghostly arm was just the beginning, and the next minute, there were thousands of these bones sticking out of the ground...

"What is this? A ghost? In the middle of the day? " After looking at these skeletons writhing out of the ground, ... Cold Nebula finally relieved, these from the ground to climb out of the bones is not a ghost, but in western mythology legend of the Skeleton Warrior...

The bones were clad in worn armor, with their characteristic, rusting, skull-and-bone helmets, and in their hands, or in their hands, rusty swords and worn shields that smelled of blood, or holding a long halberd that has a whiff of decay in its hands, it's no different from the skeleton soldiers depicted in fantasy.

How did these disgusting things get out of the way? Is it because he was just floating in the air when he was hidden in the abandoned town of the mysterious figure to see? Is that why he's got so many skeletons against him?

Who can summon a skeleton warrior... ? ... Is there a necromancer hiding in this abandoned town?

Cold Nebula gets a chill when he thinks there's a wizard named Shiryō hiding in this abandoned town. During a conversation with the elven elder, cold Nebula learns that, in this area, there are two types of human fighters, the low-level fighters and the fighters.

The low-level fighters have the usual professions of magician, warlock, sage, thief, ranger, swordsman, Berserker, and so on, while the high-level fighters are the ones that humans have advanced professions.

So-called high-level professions are very rare, even the elven elder knows not much, but in the elven elder told Cold Nebula limited in a few high-level professions, ... Contains an evil class that conjures the bones of the dead, the SHIRYŌ.

In contrast to some other professions, where fighters are only allowed to hone their skills for growth, the growth of Shiryō also requires an extremely mysterious substance, which is corpse gas, the necromancers of Shiryō are only strengthened by the cultivation of their dead minions in the presence of the corpse gas, which is why some necromancers become more powerful, he often chose to slaughter village after village in remote and savage areas, using the corpses and gases of his victims to refine his army of corpses to fight his battles. So whether humans, orcs or elves, are very resistant to this necromancer, and the necromancer who practice necromancy is classified as a kind of evil, is the enemy of all intelligent creatures.

In this mysterious continent, Shiryō is one of the fighters, and is the kind of powerful fighters, but this fighter is the continent of the three racial system of common condemnation.

It goes without saying that the various tribes with great clearances with the Terrans, even the same elven people who advocated the peaceful coexistence of all races and the upper-class royal aristocrats of the same terran race, down to the common people, all hated such fighters as master Shiryō, the reason for this is that Shiryō practices in such a way as to be feared.

To train themselves with the other combatants in order to enhance their own strength, so that they become superior to the existence of other species in this world, master Shiryō made himself stronger by increasing the number of Golems he summoned.

If you want to be an ordinary fighter, you have an innate condition, either you can feel the force of the elements, or you can develop a fighting spirit in your body, and if you can't feel either of these two forces in your body, no matter how hard you practice, you'll always be just a simple fighter.

Shiryō, on the other hand, did not need to feel any elemental force in his body to become Shiryō, nor did he need to develop a fighting spirit, the necromancer's manual of the NECROMANCER, which is said to be the most evil of all, can be used to make a master of Shiryō.

In other words, anyone who is cruel enough can become a Shiryō, given a certain opportunity. Why be cruel enough? Since the Golem summoned by Shiryō through the occult requires human bones as a base, this has led some necromancers to speed up the construction of their golem units... And started killing off other races in remote areas, even human ones... ... which is why almost every power on the endless plains has wiped out master Shiryō.

But even with all the world's clamor against necromancers, there's no way to stop paranoid people who don't have the ability to develop a fighting spirit in their bodies and feel the power of the elements from becoming so called fighters. To walk the path of the necromancer...
