Chapter 8: The Corpse Snatchers

There are cemeteries in every city.

The tombs of the nobles were richly built, strictly managed, and guarded. The slum cemetery in the north of the city is much more desolate.

The slum cemeteries in every city belong to the city's public welfare projects, and there are very few officials in charge of this area who are not corrupt, so the manpower hired is strictly insufficient.

The slum cemetery has always been quite dilapidated, and it is a gathering place for all kinds of thieves, robbers, and grave robbers.

……

In the middle of the night, the crescent moon rises on the branches.

Marven and Anna quietly appeared at the southwest entrance of the slum cemetery.

Of course, he didn't come to rob the tomb. These poor poor people did not live a good life for a few days, and their bodies were often not at peace after death. Even if Marven was short of money, he wouldn't have hit the corpses of these poor creatures like those crappy grave robbers.

He had come to find the caretaker of the slum's cemetery.

Yes, there is also a caretaker in the slum cemetery, but this caretaker is hired by the town hall for a small amount of money, and is only responsible for daily care, and it is extremely irresponsible.

Through the search of Guò's memory, Marven knew that the guard's name was [Hesse], and he was a strange old man.

Marvin remembers the name.

"Not long after the server was launched, the first second-order elite boss that was blown up by someone seems to be this ......"

"Corpse snatcher, Hesse. He has been using his position as a cemetery caretaker to steal the few remnants of value from the poor. He sold the corpses to necromancers hiding in the desperate hills north of Riverbeach City for a pittance payment. Eventually, in a transaction, he obtained the necromancer's books, and since then he has become a blasphemous who can summon the dead, a corpse snatcher destined to be hated by various righteous gods. ”

Hesse, the corpse thief, Marven's target is him.

If you follow the current historical process, the service will be launched in half a year. Maybe the current Hesse has not yet obtained the secret of the necromancer and evolved into a terrifying second-order hex.

It's worth the gamble.

Marven silently estimated his own strength. A second-class ranger, but with the experience and memories of the Night Master; A level 5 half-elf warrior - on the way he asked Anna about her rank and came to a surprising result.

It turned out that Anna had been a fifth-level half-elf warrior for a long time, and because she had been busy with the affairs of the White River Valley, she didn't have time to return to the place where the half-elves gathered to find a qualified mentor to advance to a more powerful second-order class. Her strength is quite good, which is why Marven has survived so far!

"A fifth-level half-elf warrior has at least 12o points of life, and has a racial trait, a professional specialty and a personal specialty, as well as quite a lot of powerful skills, it's just a level fighter."

In the face of Marven's inquiry, Anna had no reservations, and told Marven about her characteristics, expertise, and various skills.

The common skills of the warrior [Shun Chop], [Basic Block], [Double Combo], etc., are all very useful skills in battle. Anna's basic skills are quite good.

As for one trait and two specialties, they are also enviable in Marven's opinion:

[Race Trait: Sword Mastery]: Your sword mastery level is +1

[Class Specialty: Tenacity]: As long as you don't encounter lethal/maiming damage, the damage effect will not affect your actions.

[Personal Specialty: Precision]: Your sword is always aimed at the enemy's vital point.

Anna's racial trait is quite rare, and it is almost exclusively found among pure-blood elves, half-elves are very rare, and it can be said that her luck is quite good. It is very difficult to improve the level of swordsmanship mastery, and it requires years of training and accumulation. Without this racial trait, Anna's swordsmanship mastery level is [Swordsman], but with the addition of the racial trait, she directly became a terrifying [Swordsman].

Marven knew that even among second-order professionals, it was rare for them to have such a high level of swordsmanship mastery. Master of Swordsmanship means that Anna's swordsmanship is almost invincible in a close confrontation!

The two specialties of [Tenacity] and [Precision] are very useful in combat. The former frees people from the impact of pain on continuing to fight, ensuring continuous combat effectiveness and survival rate; The latter allows her to stab the opponent's fatal or maiming vital points more lightly, resulting in greater lethality.

In any case, the strength of his half-elf housekeeper exceeded Marven's expectations, which made him more confident about his next move.

……

Slum cemetery, secluded cabins.

The dim candle flame was accompanied by the creaking sound of wood, and a tall figure was working hard.

It's just that the object of his cultivation is a girl with a pale face and no blood!

The girl's eyes were blank, and pus was even flowing from her eye sockets, but the tall figure remained unmoved.

Outside the window on the side of the side, two figures watched the scene silently.

Even Marven didn't expect that when he and Anna found the hut where Hesse, the caretaker of the slum's cemetery, lived, this guy was actually raping ~ corpses.

It's a loss of conscience!

That girl, the corpse is not decomposed very badly, it should have died of some kind of disease, which is undoubtedly the best tool to vent his desire in the eyes of the corpse thief Hesse!

Rumble!

The door of the cabin was kicked open, and the enraged Anna directly left Marven's previous battle plan behind.

She's out of anger.

For such a person who desecrates the dead, she, who has a strong spiritual cleanliness, will only leave him a way!

That's death!

Anna's footsteps were extremely fast, and she rushed forward and slashed down with a sword!

Shun Chop!

The tall Hesse was nimble and skilled, and he actually dodged it and jumped out of bed.

His face was contorted, full of anger and amazement.

He didn't know why, at this time, someone would come and disturb his ceremony!

"Poor half-elf girl." Hesse's deep voice rang out: "Since you have ruined my ritual and made this corpse lose its value, then make up for it yourself!" ”

He jerked his hand, and a dark flame burst out of his hand!

"Damn, it's [Corrosive Fire!] 】”

On the other side, Marven, who sneaked in through the narrow window, saw the dark flames, and his heart sank.

Corrosive Fire is a two-ring spell, and it's a sorcerer's signature ability. Being able to corrode fire in an instant means that Hesse has officially advanced to a sorcery!

Even if he is not an elite template in half a year, it is quite tricky.

Anna was taken aback, lowered her head and ducked, and the corrosive fire instantly melted into a large hole in the wall with a diameter of more than one meter!

This dodge gave Hesse a chance, allowing him to sprint and widen the distance between him and Anna.

The cabin is actually quite large, with several rooms. Hesse fled to the living room and stood behind the sand.

Low-tier casters don't have a lot of melee countermeasures and can't be melee-handed.

However, once the distance is reached, the caster with a large number of high-damage low-ring spells will undoubtedly have an advantage.

I don't know when he suddenly had a heavy spell book in his hand.

At this time, Anna rushed over, but it turned out to be as if she had hit a wall head-on!

Airblast!

A spherical wave of air burst out from where Hesse was, overturning everything around him!

Anna is no exception!

She stumbled and fell to the ground.

Although Anna has good strength, she is very inexperienced in fighting spellcasters!

Hesse grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

"You're dead, **."

And in the corner where he was not looking, Marven was staring intently at the ring on his hand.

It was a black diamond ring, and if Marven remembered correctly, it was a shimmer item!

Its effect is to designate a spell that is no more than its own cast level in an instant! The restriction is that it can be used once every three days!

"It turns out that he can't instantly corrode fire!"

"This is the effect of a black diamond ring. He's stalling for time so he can cast more powerful spells. ”

"He's not a second-order sorcerer, he's just a first-order dark illusionist!"

Illusionists are known to have limited talisman spells.

Low-level wizards are tight on spell slots, and they guarantee a maximum of three talisman spells in their spell slots. Among them, corrosive fire and air explosion are counted.

Marven took a deep breath and knew he couldn't rush.

Anna attracts Hesse's attention, and the half-elf girl's rank is good, giving him a certain amount of pressure.

This is an opportunity. He had to get it right.

The premise is that Hesse throws the last talisman spell.

Anna got up from the ground, let out a soft snort, and rushed forward, and the long sword in her hand stabbed steadily into Hesse's heart!

This is the full force of the fifth-level warrior's blow, Hesse's spell is not ready yet, once it is stabbed, the spell will undoubtedly be interrupted!

There was a hint of helplessness on his face, and he gritted his teeth and turned the spell book to the first page!

After a few short bytes, a thick layer of pale yellow armor hovered over Hesse's body!

o Ring Spell, [Inferior Wizard Armor]!

Marven's eyes lit up, this is the third talisman witchcraft!

Bang!

The long sword stabbed into the armor and almost pierced a hole!

But the rebounding power of the wizard's armor also made Anna's wrist shake, and the long sword almost didn't hold steady.

Hesse took advantage of this opportunity to take half a step back and complete the spell he had prepared before!

Suddenly, a strange roar rang out.

Outside the cabin, there was a bustling sound.

Hesse's body gradually dissolved, and his voice was full of pride: "Enjoy the feast of zombies, I will enjoy your ......soul after your ** is torn to pieces"

Anna looked out the window in shock and anger.

I saw that the black pressure outside the house turned out to be all zombies summoned by Hesse!

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the room:

"Didn't your teacher teach you that when you are doing the [Void Transfer], you are the most vulnerable time for the sorcerer? Mr. Hesse? ”

The icy scimitar rested on Hesse's neck, easily breaking through the suspended wizard armor, and then slicing a large hole in Hesse's throat!

Black blood gushes like a spring!

Hesse's head fell straight off!

Marven stepped out of the shadows, stepped over the dead corpse of the sorcerer, and looked out the window with a stern face.

"We're in trouble, cursed zombies, lock the doors and windows now!"
