Volume One: Struggling in the Wasteland of Dry Bones Chapter Three: The Consequences of Arbitrary Promises

"It turns out to be like this, the inherited soul fire forms the shell, and the soul that I passed through occupies the inside. 1+1 is greater than 2, which makes the absorption speed of the crimson moonlight energy faster."

Andre, who woke up slowly, was very satisfied with his much stronger bones. At the same time, he had figured out why he absorbed the speed of the crimson moonlight so fast. He also understood the big mistake he made last night. The feeling of being gnawed by insects and ants made him not want to try again, so he was more determined to hunt other undead creatures.

After all, the success rate is much higher now. According to the inherited memory, he is at least a level 1 skeleton mage, and whether he has been upgraded to level 2 is unclear.

The upgraded skeleton mage can go to the skeleton mage temple on the wasteland to learn the undead spells after upgrading. Before level 10, it is free, and after level 10, you can only learn by offering sacrifices to the death god Hades.

The nearest skeleton mage temple is 30 kilometers to the southeast. According to Andre's current walking speed, it can be reached before the crimson moon rises again. There is no sun in the undead world during the day, only the sky-shrouded death curtain.

After weighing the pros and cons, Andre chose to give up the half-dug pit and got up and walked southeast.

Andre was very strange. There were very few other undead on the way, especially the first and second levels that he didn't meet. This is very different from yesterday when he could see at least a full finger bone and toe bone. Andre couldn't think about all of this, and it was himself.

Carefully avoiding the high-level undead, Andre arrived at the skeleton mage temple about half an hour later than expected.

It is said that it is a temple, but it is actually just a weathered stone church-like building. There are two tall stone statues at the entrance of the temple, both of which are skeletons wearing cloaks and holding staffs. When Andre stepped on the stone steps of the temple, there was a red light flashing at the top of the two staffs. After confirming that Andre was indeed a skeleton mage, the red light gradually faded away.

The stone door of the temple creaked and opened, and the dust it raised proved that there was no one inside.

Entering the dark interior of the temple, Andre immediately found the forty crystal wheels, which represents the complete forty levels of the skeleton mages. In addition to the skills brought at birth at level 0, the upgraded skeleton mages can learn forty skills here. Although every kind of undead creature can be promoted to level 24, it can be called a king.

According to the inherited memory, the first wheel disk closest to Andre is emitting a green light. He reached out and moved the pointer of the wheel disk, and his gaze also kept turning. There are about three to four hundred first-level skeleton spells, and the names are densely engraved all around the wheel disk.

Click -

Before Andre could understand the cuneiform text on the wheel disk, the crystal pointer had already stopped, and the spell indicated by the pointer flashed a light. A group of red light flew out and accurately entered his soul fire from his right eye socket.

Bone Regeneration: A supportive spell that summons scattered bones and reassembles the body for the undead.

"Damn it -"

Andre's expectations turned into such a simple consciousness, and it was the most useless supportive spell! Why isn't it a bone spear? Even a bone shield spell would be good!

Andre, who was extremely disappointed, cursed the damn wheel disk in his heart. He didn't dare to curse the death god Hades. The inherited memory told him that a king once expressed a little dissatisfaction with the death god, and the thirty-six-level king was wiped out in an instant. At the same time, the place that was then called the Dry Bone Mountain and is now called the Dry Bone Plain was also flattened.

The God of Death has always been a vengeful god.

Just as Andre was about to leave with his head down, he was surprised to find that the second crystal wheel disk actually slowly lit up. He was indeed promoted to two levels at once?!

Andre immediately had no complaints about learning a useless supportive spell. He ran to the second wheel disk and moved the pointer of the wheel disk.

"Almighty God of Death, please let me draw a better spell! If I have a good spell, I promise to give you a satisfactory offering." Looking at the pointer spinning, Andre nervously opened a blank check.

He had such thoughts when he was alive. For example, every time he bought a lottery ticket, he would pray to all the gods, promising to fulfill a big wish if he won the lottery, etc. Although he promised to make a gold body for XXX immortal, he still didn't win even fifty cents...

With Andre's prayer, the pointer finally stopped, and like before, a group of red light flew into Andre's right eye socket and merged into his soul fire.

Soul Control: It can force undead creatures one level lower than itself to sign a master-servant contract and make them fight for themselves...

Andre was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of this undead control technique. It is different from the high-level undead using pressure to drive low-level undead. After signing the master-servant contract, with the undead control technique, you can even manipulate the subtle movements of the undead servants! This is a capability comparable to having an external body!

The drawback is that according to Andre's current mental power, he can control up to five undead servants at most, but Andre has another advantage - that is, the "Bone Regeneration" he just obtained. Other people's controlled undead servants can only be abandoned if they are damaged, but with a bone regeneration, the undead servant can immediately be revitalized!

But the new problem is that with Andre's current mental power, in addition to the necessary part of controlling the undead servants, he can only release the Bone Regeneration Technique three times a day at most.

Andre has long noticed the Yin-Yang fish in his consciousness sea, and even knows that there is a huge energy inside, but the problem is that he can't draw even a bit of energy from the slowly rotating Yin-Yang fish! The significance of the existence of the red and black Yin-Yang fish is that even if Andre doesn't meditate deliberately, his mental power will recover quickly, especially under the crimson moon.

Although there are many restrictions, Andre is still quite happy. At least his life is much more secure. The next problem is how to get the undead servants.

Andre thought about it and walked out of the temple. After walking a few steps, he turned back and made sure that the third crystal wheel disk did not change color, and then walked out again.

Just as he stepped out of the temple gate, Andre suddenly stopped on the steps, and the soul fire in his eye socket flickered. Andre's skeleton rattled and swayed, almost unable to stand still.

"Remember your promise, when you reach level 10, I want to see the offering that satisfies me. If you can't..."

An extremely cold consciousness almost froze Andre's soul. If it weren't for the Yin-Yang fish rotating rapidly and miraculously absorbing most of the cold, Andre would have ended up with a dispersed soul fire.

"Interesting little skeleton... Remember what I said, you can leave."

Andre finally recovered and the words that were the same as the consciousness just now, but there was no cold feeling, rang again in his mind. Andre felt like he was pardoned and ran away in a hurry.

Finally, he ran to a place where he could no longer see the temple. Almost exhausted, Andre leaned against a withered tree stump, regretting that he wanted to slap himself a few times - he would never make arbitrary worship in the future!
