Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer
Chapter 53: The Dilapidated Village
Wu Ye slowly walked across the large map, unsure of what he'd encounter next. For the past two days, the road had been filled with ruins, none of which looked newly formed. It seemed the refugees were even further away. This reminded Wu Ye of the lie he'd made up earlier, about his village being wiped out. It seemed such villages really did exist. No wonder Thor and the others hadn't found it strange!
Wu Ye sat in the sedan chair carried by the skeletons, gazing at the scenery along the way. It was a land teeming with springtime vitality, overgrown with weeds and bushes, with no signs of human activity at all! Furthermore, it was said that there was no connection between Ster City and Rogge's magic circle. There were no traces of human foot traffic on this land. Could it have been washed away by the rain?
If there were no traces of human activity, where on earth did the refugees come from? The two cities had never interacted with each other, but even though they were one decades ago, the rulers of Ster seemed to have voluntarily given up on forming an alliance with Rogge.
A series of questions appeared in Wu Ye's mind, but it was difficult to know the answers without asking the person involved.
Cascia Office
"Aunt! How could you let Wu go to such a dangerous place alone!!" Vera kicked the door open and started questioning Kasha straight away.
"puff!!!"
Hearing Vera's question, Kasha instantly spat out the wine he had just drunk.
"Where did you hear about this?" Kasha wiped her mouth with her hand without caring about her image. Logically, she didn't tell anyone else!
Seeing Kasha's expression, Vera was convinced of one thing: this was the truth! She actually asked Wu Ye to do such a dangerous thing!
"Today at the training ground, I asked Sister Flavie if she had seen Wu these past few days. She said Wu had gone out for something. Then the more I thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. How could Wu go out for something just after coming back? And Sister Flavie knew about it. It must be something you, Auntie, asked him to do!"
I have to say that Vera's thinking ability and reaction ability are both very high.
Seeing Vera silent for a while, Kasha really didn't know what to say. Why does this little girl always bend her arms outward?
"Don't worry, I asked Akara to predict for me, Wu will be fine." Seeing Vera's improved mood, Kasha suddenly didn't know whether to cry or laugh. This girl is completely trapped! It's obvious that Wu has no interest in you at all!
"Is... is that so? Then what did Grandma Akara say?" Vera slowly calmed down. She stood in front of Kasha and looked at her as if she was interrogating a criminal.
"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Akara told me that people who can glimpse destiny can change the status quo and the future." Although Kasha didn't quite understand, Akara was not panicked, so she was even less panicked!
"Wu? Change the status quo... change the future...?" Vera kept repeating this sentence and walked out of Kasha's office.
Kasha looked at her niece and shook her head helplessly.
At this moment, Wu Ye suddenly took out the unripe fruits he had picked earlier and took a bite.
"Woooa ...
Wu Ye almost threw the fruit away. His face was distorted with sourness! It looked like a mask of pain. This fruit was even more sour than he had imagined.
When his eyes were almost squinting from pain, Wu Ye saw a small village ahead. Rubbing his eyes, Wu Ye was sure that this was indeed a village!
It looked deserted. Wu Ye slowly approached, attempting to use his undead senses to investigate, but found no trace of death. Could it be that the group had already escaped? The relatively recent signs of destruction clearly indicated the work of demons. If it was man-made, it would be more difficult to handle.
"What kind of demon would not kill people but only destroy buildings?" Wu Ye was very curious about how these ordinary people were not killed and fled to Rogge?
A demonic presence was detected at the scene, but it wasn't strong. It seemed to have dissipated over time.
The whole village looks quite large, and the dilapidated brick and stone buildings and various shops all demonstrate the development progress of the entire village.
The chaotic footprints on the ground showed how panicked the group was as they fled. Wu Ye also saw many large pits that looked like footprints! They covered the human footprints. After all, the village was different from Luoge City. Luoge City was paved entirely with bricks and stones, while the village was mostly muddy. Therefore, the depth of the footprints could still be seen, although there was still some water.
Suddenly Wu Ye felt a presence, as if he was being watched!
"It's really an unpleasant feeling!" Wu Ye murmured.
But I couldn't tell where the person looking at me was.
However, according to the reasoning of detective dramas, most criminals would return to the crime scene to observe the situation, but this is not likely. If it was really the person who did this, they would definitely attack me.
Could it be that he was afraid to take action because he saw the skeletons next to him?
But think about it, how can a low-level Necromancer have more than a dozen skeletons? If you want to have more than a dozen skeletons with normal skill additions, you have to be at least level 20 or 30, and you have to count the Skeleton Mage.
However, Wu Ye should also be thankful that he is special.
If your perception ability cannot sense the opponent, then the opponent may have used a skill to hide his aura. However, this skill can only be achieved by certain special professions, such as assassins!
Wu Ye carefully let the skeletons surround him, standing in the middle. A dozen skeletons could form a not-so-thick bone wall!
An assassin hiding in the dark looked at Wu Ye who was surrounded by skeletons.
"Have you discovered my presence? This kid is quite capable. Humph, but now is not the time to make a move." After saying that, he used the assassin's stealth skill and disappeared on the spot.
After realizing that the gaze had disappeared, Wu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really unpleasant to be stared at just now! Wu Ye was already holding the teleportation rune in his hand.
As the sky grew darker, Wu Ye found a relatively intact house and started a fire.
"Whoa Whoah"
Wu Ye, who was making a fire to keep warm, heard the sound of rain outside. His vision, which was originally clearly visible around him, became extremely narrow under the cover of heavy rain.
Rain and fog rose all around, making Wu Ye feel uncomfortable.
As the cold wind blew in, Wu Ye couldn't help but shiver.
"How come this place is even colder than the Frozen Plains? This isn't even a plateau!"
“Woo~~~Hu~~Hu~~~”
There was a lot of wind blowing in from the gaps in the room, and the sound of the wind was so loud that it was hard not to think of a horror movie!
Wu Ye directly asked more than ten skeleton brothers to stand guard and slightly blocked the air leak in the room. Wu Ye sat by the fireplace and warmed himself by the fire.
There was a lot of dry firewood piled next to the fireplace in the room.
Actually, Wu Ye really enjoys staying home on rainy days and listening to the sound of rain outside. It feels really good to help him fall asleep! But it only works with light rain. If it's a heavy downpour, it won't help him fall asleep at all, it will actually cause him to lose sleep!
The amount of rain determines the farmers' harvest. If there is too much rain, the crops will be drowned, but if there is no rain, carrying water will be a hard job.
However, the area around Rogge has a lot of rainfall and a relatively cool climate. To the east, it's hotter. The most famous desert cities, Lu Ghoin and Caldeum, are both located in the desert.
While eating, Wu Ye looked at the skill book in the light of the fire. Now that he had almost finished reading it, Wu Ye had a new understanding of some basic knowledge!
At this moment, he finally understood why those people's skills could be so varied. Simply put, as long as your proficiency was high enough, you could use a skill in a variety of ways, but the damage might still be the same, just the effect might be different.
When Wu Ye reached level 9, his understanding of skeleton control seemed to have deepened a lot.
However, at present, he could only summon bone spears. But the only progress he had made was that Wu Ye knew how to create bone armor! However, he only understood it after listening to Brother Skeleton's explanation.
Skeleton Brother said that bone armor can actually be created by using one's own mana to first conceive the shape of the bone armor, and then imagine what it would look like wearing it. Then, mana is used to solidify it, just like making a bone spear. The bone spears before were not like the ones now. The bone spears now are the product of one's own optimization. Once it is solidified, it will remain the same after use, but it can still be modified.
After reading for a while, Wu Ye felt his eyes a little swollen. He looked at the fire in the fireplace and thought of the furnace in the blacksmith shop.
"Oh right! Don't I still have that skill stone that I haven't used yet? Let me see..."
Wu Ye took out the amulet of the Fallen Demon's Heart. At this moment, the Fallen Demon's Heart had turned into something like crystal, but it was the kind with many thorns.
Wu Ye then took out the skill-granting stone and thought carefully about the production steps that Uncle Jordan had mentioned at that time.
The Heart of the Fallen was carefully secured with an instrument, and then the smelting magic circle was used on the skill-granting stone. In an instant, the skill-granting stone changed from a prismatic gem into a pink mist. However, under the effect of the magic circle, the mist did not dissipate but gathered together.
Wu Ye's forehead began to sweat as he slowly wrapped the mist around the Heart of the Fallen Demon. This step consumed too much of his mental energy.
The moment the petrified mist touched the Heart of the Fallen Demon, it was like a fish meeting water. It instantly enveloped the Heart of the Fallen Demon and then slowly merged together!
About a minute later, the blue Heart of the Fallen Demon gradually turned into pink.
Wu Ye checked the properties of the Heart of the Fallen Demon with trepidation.
[Heart of the Fallen Demon]
+1 Extra Fast
+1 Capture
----
Wu Ye became excited instantly when he saw the Heart of the Fallen Demon had an extra skill. He remembered that there seemed to be an introduction to this skill in Kane's manuscript!
【Capture】
Randomly seize one of the enemy's buffs for your own use for ten minutes. The enemy cannot gain the bonus of this buff again while it is seized.
Mana cost: 50
Cooling time: 30 minutes
----
Wu Ye was so shocked that he was speechless. This skill! You say it's useless. But it works! And if it's useful, it's random!
I don’t know what effect this skill has on monsters. If I can seize the special attributes of dark gold monsters for ten minutes, it will be an epic enhancement!
Wu Ye happily put the amulet into his backpack. He was actually quite glad that none of those rubbish skills appeared. Otherwise, it would have been a waste!
This skill that has no occupational restrictions is really very friendly to Wu Ye!
Wu Ye was lying in bed at the moment and began to fantasize. If the big pineapple had a flame-enhanced attribute, and then he took it away, and its flame enhancement disappeared, wouldn't it be funny!?
Or for monsters with hardened skin, will they also become fragile after taking away this attribute?
Not to mention encountering immune monsters, what if they were to encounter a single physical immune monster?! Thinking of this, Wu Ye's smile gradually turned lewd. Ten minutes of physical immunity would be incredible! In close combat, apart from the additional damage, physical damage alone wouldn't impress him!
Wu Ye, who was having a big dream, fell asleep happily on the bed.
At this time, he didn't know what kind of difficulties and challenges he would encounter in the future.
At this moment, deep in hell.
"Weak human, how dare you come back?"
A large red-skinned lizard sat on his own throne, and demons stood on both sides of the hall.
"Great Lord of Terror, your faithful servant. Nicholas brings you good news!"
Nicholas stood in the middle of the hall, while Della stood aside in silence. He knew that the two of them could not turn against him yet. They could only serve Diablo humbly.
"Speak!" Flames spewed from Diablo's nostrils. He seemed very impatient.
"If you can give me some pure water of the Styx, I can find a way to make your projection descend upon the Sanctuary with even greater power. By then, no human will be able to contend with you!" Although Nicholas looked calm at the moment, he was still a little panicked inside. The water of the Styx could indeed enhance the strength of Diablo's projection, but that was not what he wanted to do.
"Weak human, do you think I'm so easy to deceive?" Diablo sat on the throne and looked at Nicholas below jokingly.
"I dare not deceive you, great Lord of Terror. Because the restrictive power of the World Stone is too strong, you need to add the Water of the Styx when casting the spell. This way, you can deceive the rules of the World Stone and make your power even stronger!"
"Humph! Go away! Go find it and get it!"
