Chapter 4 Target Cemetery

Before the two summoned creatures disappeared, Donald was protected by the infantry Clinton and successfully hunted two second-level monsters and five first-level monsters. It was already ten in the afternoon, and it was getting late, and Donald was about to go home immediately.

Even with the powerful force protection of Clinton, who can face the third-level monster head-on with the strength of the Black Iron High Level, he would not dare to stay in this dangerous forest at night to spend the night. You should know that in his previous life or in this world, most wild animals basically choose to move at night, especially those carnivorous creatures.

Following the direction of the arrival, Donald hurriedly returned to the old house in town before nightfall. Butler Kod, who had been worried for a day, immediately came to meet him.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Donald smiled and comforted him a few words, then pointed to the infantry soldier who followed him and said:

"This is Clinton, the Knight attendant I collected on the road. Cod, go and clean up a room. From today on, Clinton will be our retainer!"

Although the butler could not tell the strength of a warrior, the man in front of him, who was wrapped in steel armor weighing at least three hundred ropes, was so eased to move, and his strength should not be much weaker.

The only thing I worry about is the loyalty of this person. No matter how confident the young master seems to be in him, he will not object. I will observe it for a while before I can argue. After all, their Merina family is too weak now, and it is better to have such a powerful warrior in front of him to shock those sluts.

However, Cod still pulled Clinton to carefully interrogate his origin. However, Clinton was originally a person created by Donald. Although it is essentially no different from the humans born and raised in this world, he can even combine it with women in this world to have children.

But the difference is that since his birth, he has been the most loyal attitude to Donald in his soul, and he will never blink at all when he dies for his master. When the Book of Truth created him, he only gave him basic common sense of life and strong sense of combat. As for other aspects, he naturally would not waste energy and give it boringly.

So this man seemed a little silly during his conversation, and he had little enthusiasm for other things except for the master and the fight.

Kod asked for a long time, but couldn't tell me why, but Donald made a promise, and then he let go of his doubts and prepared dinner.

Donald did not intend to reveal the secret of the Book of Truth, even if he was closest to someone like Cod, Donald did not intend to reveal it. After all, the reason why secrets became secrets is that no one knew it. The more people knew it, the greater the risk, and the more they knew it, it would not bring any benefits.

As a knight attendant, he is already qualified to eat with his master, not to mention that this person himself has that strength. Clinton followed Donald's order and put the food in front of him into his mouth in a stern manner.

Even if Donald spoke, he would only answer words like "yes" and "follow the order". It was completely no fun to eat with such people. Donald quickly ended his supper.

The butler came up to clean up the tableware, and at this time, two bells rang out from the town outside.

"It's night, the young master has a good rest. I'll prepare the bath water!"

"Go! Kede, you have a good rest, tomorrow you will sell the monsters we hunted!"

Donald nodded, knowing that this was the night watchman in the cemetery outside the town was ringing the bronze bell, reminding the townspeople that night had arrived and not leave the town at will. This world is often dangerous in the wild at night, especially in towns like Red Maple Town, near the periphery of the Green Cloak Forest. Therefore, alarm bells are set up in towns and villages to remind the people.

Thinking of the night watchman and the cemetery outside the town, Donald suddenly slapped his hands excitedly.

"Cemetery? By the way! How could I not have thought of this!"

This world, like his previous life, does not pursue cremation, but hopes that the dead can be buried in peace and the soul returns to the kingdom of the dead.

Therefore, whenever someone in the town dies, the only priest in the town will be invited to pray and blessings. Then the king is buried in the cemetery outside the town. This creates a situation where the corpses in the cemetery are vulnerable to negative energy, resulting in the emergence of undead and undead creatures.

Generally speaking, local lords will invest every year to hire a priest from the church to attend the cemetery, so as to appease the dead, and purify the cemetery to avoid mutated undead creatures and cause harm to the ranks.

The altar in Hongfeng Town is only a clergyman, an elderly junior priest, who is responsible for conveying teachings to the people in the town and the two surrounding villages. Others include presiding for funerals, treating patients, etc.

The church institutions in this world are divided into temples and altars. Except for the main temples, they are generally built in the holy land where the true gods come first, other temples are distributed in large and small towns in each diocese, donated by local believers or funded by lords.

The altar under the temple is an altar with a holy emblem or statue of a god engraved with gods. It is simple to build and does not cost much. It also has the functions of some temples, so it is generally built in small towns and villages.

Although the most marginal territory in the North County like Red Maple Town, although it has developed well, it has only built an altar. The cost of building a temple is too high. Even a small temple is more than five times the price of building the Lord's Mansion in Red Maple Town. This price makes it impossible for both generations of Red Maple Barons who have not changed their stingy personality to spend a lot of money to build it. According to Donald's understanding, the businessman noble believed not as a true god, but the great Kingsol!

For this reason, the temple of the Giant Rock City and the old priest in the town were a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the merchant noble. The former was dissatisfied with Baron Red Maple's attitude towards the temple, while the latter was dissatisfied with the dissatisfied because he was sent to this place without any harm and encountered a stingy lord.

"I remember the last time I purified the cemetery was before last autumn harvest festival. I treated the Baron Red Maple with the attitude of old Colifoe toward Baron Red Maple. I guess the purified one would not be so clean. So after nearly a whole year, the cemetery should have changed a bit. I can get it inside and take a look!"

It’s not that Donald cares about the safety of the cemetery. His purpose is not to purify the undead, but to collect the soul fire of the undead creatures and destroy them is just a by-pass.

So he quietly ordered Clinton. After Silver Moon rose in the air and most people in the town fell asleep, the two of them quietly left the old house with their butler Keder on their backs, climbed over the wooden wall, and headed towards the cemetery outside the town.

Humans' fear of the dead is the same in any world. In the huge Red Maple Town Cemetery, there are only elderly night watchers guarding it, so with the help of Clinton, Donald easily avoided the night watchmen in the doorman and sneaked into it.

The atmosphere in this cemetery was quiet and gloomy, giving Donald the same feeling as if he had encountered the wasteland of undead creatures in the forest.

"It seems that there is a great possibility that there are undead creatures here. Clinton, let's go there. When we encounter undead creatures, just defend and try not to take action!"

“Yes, Master!”

Taking Clinton as an infantryman, Donald carefully walked towards the older cemetery area.

The two generations of lords of Hongfeng Town have been established for more than fifty years, and are still a young territory. However, it can be traced to a hundred years ago. Hongfeng Town was just a small village. Despite this, there are too many tombs in the cemetery area. Many civilians did not have tombstones after their deaths, but were simply buried in the cave. Most of the dead decayed with time.

With the induction of energy by the Book of Truth, Donald found the place with the most abundant negative energy. There was only a small broken tombstone, which seemed to be a mass grave, and was the earliest cemetery in the cemetery.

"It's here!"

Donald took out a first-level magic core and opened the summoning list of the Book of Truth.

"Come out! Sandworm!"

A two-foot-long earthy creature appeared at Donald's feet.

This thing is wrapped in a layer of soft and tough leather armor, with a hideous head and a body that looks like an earthworm, like a combination of a cobra and an earthworm.

This is the wild creature Dune insect that appeared in the Warcraft expansion film, referred to as insect killing. This creature living in the desert can be said to be a type of Warcraft. It can spray sand and stone attacks. It has not excellent attack power, but it has powerful ability to dig and drill, and is an excellent expert in lurking and sneak attacks.

Donald summoned it out, and he was interested in this guy's ability to dig the ground.

If he wants to test whether there are undead creatures here, he can't dig a grave by himself, right?

Watching the sandworms burrowing around in this old grave, throwing out one or two rotten bones from time to time, Donald silently said in his heart:

"Don't blame me, you have been dead for so long, and your soul should have returned to the Kingdom of the Dead, and maybe you have been reincarnated. You don't have to care about these bones!"

You can't say that after the sandworm's tossing, an immortal creature was really brought up.

But this undead creature looked a bit miserable. As soon as the skeleton with only half of the body crawled out of the soil, two ribs fell off and were almost about to fall apart.

In Donald's merciful gaze, Clinton stepped forward and removed the skeleton a few times, leaving only the skull with the soul fire for his master to collect.

After receiving this broken skeleton with only twenty units of soul power, no matter how the sandworms struggled, there was no movement in this cemetery. Donald had no choice but to leave.

"Forget it, I didn't have much hope. Tomorrow we will go to the cemetery outside the Giant Rock City, where the resources must be more abundant than this!"

He took the initiative to dissipate the sandworms and let the Book of Truth regain the remaining energy, and then Donald took Clinton to return home.

When passing a newly built tomb, a dark and cold breath suddenly came to my face. The attacker was very fast, and Clinton, who had been keeping alert, was not satisfied and slashed towards the shadow with one sword. If it were a normal creature, it would probably have been split in half by Clinton, but the shadow was split into two after being attacked by Clinton, and then it was unscathed and merged into one and continued to attack the target.

This accident left Donald unavoidable. He had no time to dodge the front and was penetrated by the other party on his left shoulder.

"Damn it!"

After being attacked, Donald saw the enemy's true appearance, which turned out to be a blurred figure floating in the air and ready to go.

"It's a ghost!"

Unexpectedly, the light of the willows and flowers were bright, and the result of searching for the undead creature was not expected, but now a ghost appeared unexpectedly.

Ghosts are also called ghosts or ghosts, which are almost the same thing. They are undead, not undead creatures.

Although both the undead creatures and the undead spirit have the word "Immortality" and are also in the same camp, the two are still different in essence.

The ghosts belonging to the undead are different from physical undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies. The latter is mostly formed by the soul returning to the underworld, and the remaining soul marks in the body are stimulated and mutated by negative energy. They are a negative energy creature, which basically has no memories of their lives and are completely a new existence. The ghosts are non-dead spirits who stay in the main world after their souls die because of some resentment and become a collection of negative energy. They have no entity and physical attack power to hate the living and can seize the vitality in the living body through negative energy. The powerful undead spirits have strange abilities that illegal professions cannot resist.

Fortunately, this was just an ordinary ghost. After being attacked by the ghost, Donald felt cold all over and half of his arm became numb. However, he did not need a mage to use the casting gesture like a magician, otherwise he would be restrained by the ghost's surprise attack and basically had no power to fight back.

"Summon the Undead Banshee!"

As Donald finished speaking, a figure that was very similar to the ghost appeared in front of Donald, blocking the ghost's second attack.

The figure seemed like an illusory light and shadow, with dark blue and dark and cold energy flowing around her body. The originally beautiful elf's face was twisted, as if she was suffering endless pain. She was the second-level casting armed banshee of the Undead tribe.

Banshees were once beautiful female elves. When the Kalimdo continent fell, they were brutally killed by demons. Because of inhuman torture, these souls of dead people remained silently in this world, wailing in pain and resentment.

Their terrible voices, the sound that sounded extremely miserable to the living creatures, were regarded as the howling of death. Later, the Banshee became a warrior of the Immortal Legion, attacking the enemy with the power generated by the wailing wails on the battlefield. Their squealing evil screams could be heard for miles.

Seeing that the banshee opened her mouth and was about to attack the attacking ghost, Donald shouted quickly:

"Don't attack, control it!"

The banshee obeyed the orders and used her own talent to occupy it. The ghost figure on the opposite side was stunned at that time.

Whether it is a living creature or a non-dead spirit, except for alchemy puppets and mechanical units, any non-magical immunity enemy unit will be controlled by this skill. When using this skill, the target unit will be unable to move for a few seconds. During this period, the banshee will suffer additional damage. Then the banshee will disappear and occupy the body of the target at the same time, but will not cause damage to the target. Of course, occupying this skill is not invincible. For creatures and heroes above level 5 in the game, that is, the silver-level and silver-level strong people in this world will basically not work. For targets below the bronze level, the success rate depends on the opponent's willpower and soul strength.

Donald was afraid that any attack method would cause damage to the ghost and cause energy to be lost in his body, so it would be most appropriate to use the banshee who is a ghost to deal with its kind.

The ghost, controlled by the Banshee's skill, was still struggling. Donald summoned the Book of Truth and said to it with a sympathetic tone:

"Give up! No matter what you encounter during your lifetime, you will not be able to complete it like this. Even if I don't take action, you can't escape the priest's purification, and you will still turn it into energy and be used by me!"

After saying that, the ghost and the banshee's body turned into black streams and were absorbed by the Book of Truth.

Then, the communication artifact checked the gains just now, and Donald couldn't help but smile and said:

"That's great. A ghost actually has more than 300 soul power. The energy it contains ten times that of the soul fire of the low-level skeleton. This is much stronger than killing skeletons!"

With the gains of this ghost alone, Donald's trip is worth the fare.

Unfortunately, the Book of Truth is not a container that specializes in the soul storage, so it cannot absorb the residual soul power in the cemetery. Otherwise, even if there are no undead or undead creatures, there will be great gains.

Faced with this situation, the Book of Truth gave a prompt that it can be exchanged for the sub-artifact Soul Ball to specifically absorb the soul. It can not only absorb the soul power of living creatures but also the dead undead souls, but also the subtle soul power remaining in the space can be absorbed and utilized to a large extent.

In that case, just find a place where a large number of creatures have died, such as an ancient battlefield or a cemetery, and walk around there, you can gather a large amount of residual soul power. There is no need to be so thankless, and you can easily get a large amount of soul power to create creatures.

Not to mention the exchange conditions for the sub-artifacts are simply out of reach for him now. Even if the special equipment of Soul Ball can be divided into ten Soul Ball fragments like in the game plot, the level of each fragment is at the level of the lower legendary magic equipment, and it is not something he can exchange for now, let alone the complete sub-artifacts need to be given divinity when creating them.

After dealing with the ghost, Donald unwilling to give up and walked around the cemetery several times until he found nothing, and then left with his subordinates at night.

As for the elimination of the undead creatures and ghosts in the cemetery, he would not say it and would not know. He may only think that after the cemetery was purified in previous years, there would be no abnormal changes.

As for the only old pastor who might have found any trace, Donald basically won't worry!

Generally, most of the people sent to remote areas are low-level pastors who are not valued in the church, so naturally they will not work hard to fulfill their obligations. Especially the one who is not very good at dealing with the local lord.

So even if Curliff knew that Donald had done what he should have done for him, the old pastor would only thank the goddess for making him feel much easier and would not arouse any suspicion.
