Banner of the Evil God

After the little brother-sister drama, Tuyan and Tessa said goodbye and left, returning to the magic tower to think about what to do in the future.

Originally, Tuyan's life goals were nothing more than two things. The first was to completely revive his sister, and the second was to work hard to become a demigod so that he could accompany his sister forever. Other things such as "making a lot of money to buy all kinds of clothes for Tessa" were just byproducts of the process, and there was no long-term goal.

Now, his first goal has been achieved, and it has been achieved perfectly. As for the second goal... Is it so easy to achieve a demigod? This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

Moreover, he has no idea at all now, and his strength is still far from the peak of legend. The second goal and so on, let's put it aside for the time being, and it won't be too late to work hard when he reaches the peak of legend.

Now he is thinking about how to use his necromancy in production.

Theoretically, he could summon skeletons by himself, hundreds or even thousands at a time - it was not a burden for him. As long as he was provided with food and lodging, and given enough bones as materials, summoning tens of thousands would not be a big deal.

But... these skeletons he summoned would only obey his own orders unless they were taken away by the "Dominate the Undead" spell.

This is an important feature of low-level undead, mechanical.

To put it bluntly, the reason why low-level undead are loyal, brave, never afraid, and never betray is that they have no thinking ability at all, just like a car or a knife, which can be regarded as a simple tool.

Of course, if no one controls them, low-level undead will often show strong aggressiveness to all living beings due to the conflict between positive and negative energy - this is why the Ash Forest often erupts with a tide of skeletons.

The undead created by Tuyan also have this nature of attacking the living. If he leaves them too far away and cannot provide new orders in time, then after they execute the original orders for a period of time, they will be dominated by this nature and turn into terrifying monsters.

This is the biggest problem that bothers him.

How to control low-level undead for a long time after he leaves? This is a major problem in necromancy, and no wizard has yet solved it.

Tuyan is no exception.

If he can solve this problem, he can go to the underworld to control low-level undead everywhere, let them gather together, build the kingdom of the dead, and thus impact the realm of God.

Theoretically, the hope of success is actually quite high.

Unfortunately, this is not possible, he really can't do it.

So he had to change his perspective and consider the means of "when I leave, I can easily hand over the command to others".

This is not difficult. The predecessors of necromancers have already considered this possibility and have developed a variety of solutions. The cheapest solution is the so-called "command undead scepter".

The name of the Commanding Dead Scepter seems very impressive, and it can be made very impressive. However, in most cases, the necromancers just pick up a piece of locust tree branch, engrave a simple control array on it, and then engrave the corresponding control array on the dead soul that needs to be controlled, and that's it.

This thing was originally used by rookie apprentices to control a few dead souls for protection, or to allow them to manage a few dead soul servants. Who would be willing to spend a lot of effort and cost to create a high-level magic weapon that can control a large number of dead souls?

That's definitely a brain full of water!

Tuyaan can certainly make such a magic weapon, but the problem is that he is alone and the production efficiency is not very fast.

It's not that this scepter is troublesome to make, but this magic weapon needs to be matched with the control array on the dead soul, which means that an additional set of control arrays needs to be engraved on the dead soul, which is really a matter of effort.

Tuyaan thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a good way. Finally, he thought that instead of thinking hard at home, he might as well go out and ask places that need workers to see if the people who actually work have any good opinions.

After all, things are for them to use, and skeletons are for them to manipulate, so they have the most say.

With this idea in mind, he took Tessa out of the magic tower and came to the relatively backward gold rush town among the three towns of the Northwest Republic.

Gold rush town had not been able to develop much before, until the special breeding in the past few years, it was considered a truly reliable way to make money. However, special breeding requires a lot of manpower, but the income is not very stable, which makes the mayor Dios Almark very distressed and he doesn't know what to do.

Tuyaan's visit made him feel honored, and he smiled from ear to ear, saying that he would hold a sumptuous banquet to welcome him-even if it was a necromancer, this was a legendary wizard after all!

Tuyaan was not interested in the banquet. He directly explained his purpose and asked if his ideas could help the gold rush town.

Mayor Almark pondered for a long time. He frowned, then thought about it, but then shook his head. Then he seemed to have an inspiration, and after thinking carefully for a while, he smiled and nodded.

"I have an immature idea." He said, "Can these skeletons be used for excavation work?"

"Of course, but it can't be done very finely." Tuyan said.

"It doesn't matter if it's not precise." Mayor Almark laughed, "The special breeding in our town is all underground. The biggest problem at present is that the scale of the farm is too small - our town's population is insufficient, and there is not much money to hire people. Everyone can only spare some time to dig after taking care of the farm. The slow progress is almost crying... If the skeleton can come to dig the underground farm, I think it can be of great use!"

Tuyan was stunned for a while, and said: "What I want to ask is, do you have any ideas to solve the problem that the skeleton will not leave me The problem of obedience. "

"This method is very simple, just draw an area, don't get close to them, and let them dig slowly there. "Mayor Almark said with a smile, "Want to attack living people? There are no living people around, what can they attack..."

"According to you, the reason why the skeletons are disobedient is because the instinct to attack the living prevails, right? If there are no living people around, then they will not attack and will always follow orders. "

Tuyaan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, his face full of admiration.

"I can't believe that the mayor of a small town can be so smart!" He sighed deeply, "I always claim to be smart, but compared to you, I am actually nothing!"

Mayor Almark naturally smiled and humbly, and the matter was finalized.

The next night, Tuyaan and Mayor Almark selected a suitable piece of land, manipulated the skeletons he summoned, and began to dig.
