Necromancer Tasia

This doubt had just surfaced.

A golden Strategy Guide prompt immediately emerged.

(Idiot, do you think only the Undead can become a Necromancer?)

Zong Shen saw this prompt and suddenly realized the truth.

He reached out and swiped the prompt text away.

It seemed he had been overthinking things.

A Necromancer was simply a type of mage and did not belong to any specific race.

"Right, why don't I have any mana?"

Zong Shen raised another question.

(Only those who have completed Mage Apprentice training and awakened a mage talent can become a mage and possess mana.)

(The essence of mana is the manifestation of wisdom and mental power; only powerful wisdom and mental power can awaken a mage talent, allowing one to communicate with the power of different elements and combine them into various spells.)

After reading this, Zong Shen couldn't help but nod.

"Makes sense, that makes sense."

"In that case, I'll just use this recruitment scroll now."

He pondered for a moment in his heart.

He decided to use the recruitment scroll.

With a thought, he clicked to use it.

The recruitment scroll in his hand, adorned with skull patterns, flew out directly.

It landed on the open ground beside Zong Shen.

Streaks of dark green flames began to burn, forming a bizarre skull with two horns.

Then, the dark green flames boiled over, forming a dark green ball of light.

The ball of light began to constantly squirm, twist, and gather, eventually starting to slowly dissipate.

When the dark green light faded away.

A petite figure emerged.

Oh ho, it's actually a girl!

She was wearing an old, black robe.

A short-handled spiked flail hung from her waist by a leather strap.

In her hand, she held a staff that looked like an ancient tree root.

Her golden curly hair trembled slightly.

Her fair face was solemn and calm.

Her eyes were exceptionally bright, as if she had already seen through the boundary between life and death.

This stood in sharp contrast to the image of a Dried Corpse that Zong Shen had previously imagined.

She stepped forward slowly and knelt on one knee.

With one hand bracing her staff against the ground and the other pressed to her chest, she bowed her head in a salute.

"In the name of death and rebirth."

"Necromancer Tasia reports to you!"

"My blood is ready to be spilled wherever you guide me!"

Zong Shen listened to the oath of allegiance.

He also stood up straight with solemnity.

"Welcome to the team, Tasia!"

"Let us build a great territory together!"

Tasia remained expressionless.

She bowed her head in a salute once more.

Then she rose silently and stood to the side.

She appeared somewhat reclusive and aloof.

The three Wolf Cavalry were also secretly sizing up this Necromancer.

Necromancers were a very mysterious existence.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they manipulated the dead, spent their days among corpses and bones, and took pleasure in creating death.

Even Zong Shen had held similar preconceived notions.

However, since she had become his soldier, regardless of her race, origin, or appearance, and without asking about her past, he would treat her equally as long as her loyalty was assured.

In reality, while he was cleaning up the battlefield and checking the loot, he was also carving out time for the Wolf Cavalry and Tie Zhu to rest.

As a lord, Zong Shen was quite protective of his soldiers.

Moreover, in this world of lords.

Everything was displayed in a digitized format.

Zong Shen could clearly understand his soldiers' loyalty and changes in many other aspects.

Therefore, the relationship between a lord and their subordinates in this world was actually quite simple and easy to manage.

It was not as complex as it was in his original world.

Zong Shen cast his gaze toward Tasia.

Her detailed attributes immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Necromancer: Tasia]

[Potential: Excellent]

[Level: lv10]

[Attributes: (Click to expand)]

[Satiety: 80]

[Loyalty: 70]

Tasia's initial loyalty was actually 10 points lower than that of the regular Wolf Cavalry and Night Huntress.

It was only slightly higher than that of the farmers who had just been rescued.

It seemed that the temperament and personality of a Necromancer might differ from those of ordinary soldiers.

Zong Shen pondered this secretly, then expanded the attributes.

[Necromancer: Tasia]

[Strength: 16]

[Agility: 16]

[Intelligence: 32]

[Charisma: 9]

[Health: 335]

[Mana: 400]

[Magic Damage: 48~51]

[Blunt Damage: 30~33]

[Head Armor: 0]

[Upper Body Armor: 12]

[Lower Body Armor: 6]

[Magic Resistance: 6]

[Skills: Summon Skeleton Archer (Summons 2 lv10 Skeleton Archers, costs 50 Mana, duration 20m, cooldown 30m), Magic Effect Amplification (Mana regeneration speed increased by 20%), Double Necrotic Arrow (Chant time 2s, costs 40 Mana, fires two Necrotic Arrows, each dealing 1.5x magic damage)]

(A very powerful Necromancer. If you can obtain a Necromancer skill book, you will be able to teach her more skills.)

(Additionally, the class skill levels of all soldiers recruited via recruitment scrolls are set to lv10 by default. Soldiers trained through high-tier barracks or ruin barracks will also possess some initial class skills.)

As expected of a rare Necromancer; these stats and skills easily crush the previous green elite Necrotic Dead!

Moreover, through the notes, Zong Shen learned one more thing.

That is, soldiers summoned via recruitment scrolls are finished professional soldiers with their own levels and skill levels already at lv10.

However, those trained using farmers paired with a Tier 1 Infantry Barracks are merely blank-slate soldiers.

Of course, there are also those like Tie Zhu, who obtain corresponding class skills and stats directly through class change books, becoming lv1 professional soldiers.

In this world, even farmers actually have value to be cultivated.

Because even farmers have four major attributes and corresponding levels.

Theoretically, as long as Zong Shen is willing, he could even cultivate a super farmer.

"Tie Zhu, in the upcoming battle, you are responsible for protecting Tasia to ensure she can output damage with peace of mind."

Zong Shen turned his head and instructed Tie Zhu.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Tie Zhu could even answer.

Tasia's slightly cold voice drifted over.

"Lord, I do not believe the weak can protect the strong."

"Do not worry about me during the battle; I am capable of finding the appropriate timing to attack."

Her words caused both Zong Shen and Tie Zhu to raise their eyebrows.

Tie Zhu in particular was glaring with furrowed brows; if not for the fact that Zong Shen hadn't spoken yet, he likely would have erupted on the spot.

Zong Shen was surprised upon hearing this, then felt a bit awkward and speechless.

This guy's emotional intelligence was truly low!

He was nowhere near as sensible as the Huntress Luna.

No wonder he could become a Necromancer!

But it didn't matter; to Zong Shen, this was what made it challenging. With a bit more time to get used to each other, he would integrate into the group sooner or later.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then that's for the best."

"Next, let's continue our exploration."

"My intuition tells me that there are still many secrets in this Temple waiting for us to uncover!"

Zong Shen raised his sword and gestured, issuing his command; as the lord, he had to maintain control over everything!
