I have one more World of Warcraft Necromancer than you

Chapter 259 All the treasures are in the big house

Without any souls, Lorraine killed several sentinels without absorbing any vengeful spirits. He initially thought that the appearance of vengeful spirits wasn't always a sure thing...

It has now been confirmed that these stealthy Syndicate assassins were merely shells.

The Soulless...

When order collapses and evil flourishes, zombies, ghouls, and demons will swagger into the world. Those with weak wills, a fear of death, and lacking in character and ability, are easily reduced to puppets...

Become a demon's spokesperson... a servant or a vessel sacrifice.

In the eerie Dren Manor, Lorraine and her apprentice were still somewhat confused.

The woman named Nancy whom I met by the lake earlier was Vesas's wife, and the man was Vesas's grandfather. They did indeed have spirits, and their bodies were normal. They were definitely living, breathing humans who had been living in seclusion by the lake.

The dozen or so Syndicate assassins killed so far were almost all puppet zombies... These seemed to be tools controlled by the Syndicate's special magic.

I just heard the name 'Duke' in the barn. There seem to be several dukes within the Syndicate... 'Duke' probably doesn't refer to a specific person, but rather a title similar to a leader or official rank.

Among the executioners killed in the Dalaran pit was a fellow called "Duke".

The Syndicate bandits all followed him, and at the time, Lorraine hadn't intended to spare any survivors, letting them be overwhelmed by his own army of death. Now he understood the importance of information; if only he could use magic to extract memory images like Master Aegwynn...

I wonder if Ms. Aegwynn will be able to teach me the memory retrieval technique when I return to report this time...

The teacher said that traditional monks do not have this skill.

That spell is probably Aegwynn's own secret technique or a Guardian's unique skill. For now, you can simply go back and learn portal magic; that would be much easier. You wouldn't have to trek through mountains and rivers to return to Undercity...

"Oh! I think I learned a spell from the legendary Undercity last time! Teacher, I remember now... I learned how to teleport to Undercity!"

The teacher was taken aback. "Have you studied this before?"

"I've studied it! I'm sure... Let me think..."

The apprentice interrupted his teacher's analysis. He seemed to recall that, before setting off, among the traditional spells he had mastered, besides the few offensive spells he frequently used, there were Arcane Intellect, Blink, Polymorph, Evocation, Magic Missiles... and also Teleportation: Undercity!

"Sigh, after all that trouble, you can't even use the spells you've clearly learned. Well, disciple, you can't blame me... I'm so busy, I really can't remember them... You let me possess you, and I'm almost at full skill level... Sigh, right, I can do that too."

.......

"Teacher...no!"

"What's wrong? What do you mean the teacher can't do it? The teacher can definitely do it! A real man doesn't say he can't..."

Lorraine rummaged through the package... After the initial excitement came helplessness...

He carefully recalled the teleportation magic he had learned: Undercity... The detailed description of the magic was to leave one's magical beacon at the desired location... to construct a spatial passage so as not to get lost in the plane... and one must inscribe a runestone or use a runestone with pre-inscribed coordinates in order to use teleportation.

Closing the spellbook, Lorraine realized he had forgotten two crucial steps: setting up a spatial beacon or purchasing runic markings...

That thing can use the Undercity's dedicated passage or create its own node that can be accepted by mages; otherwise, any mage could teleport to Undercity at will, so Undercity's magic defenses must be very good.

The fortress, personally overseen by Lady Aegwynn and built under the guidance of the Forsaken mentors in the Magic Quarter, naturally wouldn't have any obvious weaknesses...

Although Lorraine has learned the spell for one-way teleportation to Undercity, he still cannot teleport back to Undercity because he lacks the complete runic markings and beacons.

"Haha, you idiot, don't blame me for that. I reminded you that whether it's Hearthstone or teleportation spells, including the Spell of Wisdom, you need to buy materials, bind the target, and lock it in. You forgot... so don't blame me."

"Teacher, did you say that? You didn't, did you?"

"Said!"

"no!"

......

"Said!"

"No..."

"It was definitely mentioned..."

"Absolutely not!"

......

The master and apprentice were locked in a stalemate. Lorraine secretly reminded himself that one of the things he had to do upon returning to Undercity was to open a magical portal to Undercity so that he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and embarrassment in the future.

He was just joking when he argued with the teacher.

Teacher Luo Lin suddenly became insecure...

"By the way, have you ever used Hearthstone before...? I'm not sure if its effects are really the same as I remember!"

The teacher seemed to have thought of something more. Lorraine pinched the slightly warm white stone in his bag, felt it for a moment, and then casually tossed it back. He didn't think this thing was as magical as the teacher had described...

Now is not a good time to test it.

After searching every room, I found nothing... This quiet little town, even in broad daylight, felt increasingly eerie.

Even though I am clearly a ghost...

"There's not a soul here! Teacher, let's get out of here..."

"Weren't you going to check if Marcus was in the cellar?"

Lorraine shrugged. "I don't know where the duke was talking about, the cellar!"

"Fool, look at these houses. Only large houses with three or more stories have cellars. Be smart, okay... Generally, the bigger the house, the more likely it is to have mezzanine levels and treasure chests... Remember, this is my experience in exploration. The treasures are all in the big houses..."

Upon hearing this, Lorraine silently murmured, "The babies are all in the big house..."

After looking around, they discovered that a red house near the lake next to the barn was most likely the location of the cellar... There were also many large wooden crates piled up on a small boat outside the red house.

I wonder what's inside...

A pile of sawdust and debris floated on the lake not far away, with what appeared to be a clump of cloth and herbs on top. Lorraine had an urge to fish them out of the lake with a fishing rod, but right now, determining the condition of the cellar was the most important thing.

He plunged into the big red house...

As soon as Lorraine entered the red house, she realized something was amiss!

First, there was a torch burning brightly in the daytime, in a dimly lit corner of the fireplace. Most of the red house appeared cluttered and gray, but from the fireplace with the torch to the doorway, it was noticeably clean... there were even scratches left by heavy objects being dragged along, the scratches extending from the fireplace...

Even a fool could see there was a secret passage behind the fireplace...

"But where is the switch?"

The torch holder, still burning during the day, came into view. Lorraine reached out, took the torch, and turned the handle. The fireplace door opened with a click... revealing a portal...

"That simple?"

......

If only it were that simple... As soon as the secret fireplace door opened, a head popped out, and someone yelled, "What's the panic? The Duke ordered me to deal with this trouble. Tell Baron Vadus to wait for me, I'm coming right away... Don't let my Elisa suffer. She's not a hostage, she's my spoils!"

The shouting masked man froze when he saw Lorraine, and the two stared at each other blankly...

No, it's human eyes staring at spirit eyes...

The man hurriedly drew his knife, but Lorraine leaped forward and kicked him to the ground.

Stepping on the opponent's weapon, I cast Polymorph directly...

Oridon immediately turned into a sheep.

But behind him, there were two more enemies...

Upon seeing their leader subdued, the two guards immediately drew their swords and charged into battle.

Lorraine darted into the room, glancing around. Sure enough, she found a man and a woman in a haystack in the corner. The man lay on the ground, and judging from his battered clothes and hairstyle, "That's right, it's General Marcus!"

When two guards approached at close range, Lorraine immediately used her soul skill!

He wasn't going to waste any more time... he'd just use necromancy. His new ability, [Soul Drain], briefly stunned the target... inducing a bewitching state... It suddenly reminded him that he still had many unused abilities, not just the new spells Aegwynn had given him before his departure.

Even after the Necromancer Rune was upgraded to an intermediate rune, he forgot to use many useful and convenient skills.

Ultimately, they were just too lazy. Necromancers aren't just simple summoners; they're also experts in the realm of souls...

[Soul Possession], two mid-level vengeful spirits surged forth and directly entered the mouths of two soulless guards... They instantly froze, transforming into the guards controlled by Lorraine...
