Chapter 8: Ellot

Ellot always thought he was a lucky man.
When he was a kid, the village was captured by robbers. After the robbers looted the village, the whole village was burned down. Ellot escaped because he was hiding in a dry well.
After wandering all the way in the forest, it is estimated that ordinary teenagers were either starved or eaten by beasts. But in the forest, Ellott always had the luck to find food, maybe wild fruits that could be picked, or rotten corpses left by beasts.
One time Ellot was forced into a tunnel by a group of beasts. When he was curled up and waiting to die, he suddenly found that the beasts hesitated to step forward. Finally, he gave up the food at his mouth and chose to leave. Her cold breath has always made Ellot remember.
It wasn't until Ellot, who had become a necromancer for many years, returned here that he found a tomb that had not been known for a long time, and a mid- to high-level undead creature was sleeping in it.
There was also a time when Ellot was found out by the people in the forest after being hungry, and the people who found him took him back to the village where he lived. The man did not express his disdain for Ellot’s wandering identity, and even offered to adopt him, and Ellot showed an unfamiliar appearance, and took him while he was asleep a few days later. Money and food continue to wander.
After wandering in this way for a long time, Ellot came to the gathering place of Necromancer: Diya, just in time for the apprenticeship of the Necromancer College. As long as you have the heart and will to become a Necromancer, you can join the Necromancer Academy and become an apprentice of Necromancer. Ellot entered the Necromancer Academy in this way.
After becoming an apprentice, Elot found that things were not as simple as he thought. Learning any kind of knowledge in the Necromancer Academy would cost gold coins, and the Academy will also forcefully issue some tasks to test the strength of the Necromancer apprentice.
Without gold coins to learn skills and the ability to complete missions, Ellott in the Necromancer Academy eventually fell into the experiment of being sent to perform undead transformation.
Ellott clearly remembers that there were about a dozen people who participated in the transformation with him at that time. In addition to the apprentices who also failed to complete the task, there were many people he had not seen. Ellott did not know what happened during the transformation, only that he survived except for himself, and there was only one apprentice.
Ai Luo Te did not feel the specific changes that the transformation brought to the body, only knew that after the experiment was completed, he obtained a bulging bag of gold coins.
With this money, Ellott learned about meditation at the College of Necromancer and some basic knowledge as a necromancer.
However, after Ai Luo Te learned a few spells, this money is not much left. No way, in order to continue to learn knowledge, Ellot can only find ways to take some tasks to earn coins.
At this time, the tomb that was encountered during the wandering process appeared in Ellot's consciousness. The tomb of a powerful undead creature is sleeping, if used well, it can create a lot of undead creatures. Undead creatures are valuable in addition to fighting. In any town of Diya, there are places where undead creatures can be exchanged for gold coins.
Thinking of this, Ellott was ready to go. Because the wandering time is too long, Ellott can only roughly remember one direction, and the specific location of the tomb cannot be determined. It is undoubtedly a needle to find it.
But Ellott didn't think so much, just as he had escaped many times in the past. Ellott believed that his luck would help him find the tomb.
If it was really what Ellot expected, he spent several months to find the tomb in Eri near Diya.
Then it slowly accumulates. Like other necromancers, Ellott tried his best to add his own undead creatures. Whether it's a traveler passing by or a resident of a nearby small village, Ellott releases magic to kill them, and uses the tomb to quickly transform undead creatures.
After the strength accumulated to a certain level, with these undead creatures, Ellot began to slaughter the surrounding small villages.
In response to the possible resistance in the village, Ellott began to attack the village every night. Due to the villagers' ignorance and fear of undead creatures, Ellott can well defeat the village's basic defenses.
Even if a professional who can deal with undead creatures is encountered in the village, Ellott hidden in the darkness often only needs to release the magical arrows one after another to be seriously injured. This is also because the rank of professionals in the village is too low. In the process of attacking the village, Ellott has not met senior professionals.
After attacking the small village, Ellott further strengthened his strength by transforming the corpses of the villagers into undead creatures. Subsequently, he focused his attention on the general village.
After a successful attack, Ellot found a natural hero among the villagers whose undead creatures were about to slaughter. This hero has not experienced training, and at first it was not even as good as a skeleton soldier. But with her heroic potential, Ellott knew she had found the treasure.
Necromancers can make dead heroes into high-level undead, but it is obviously impossible to complete at the current level of Ellot. Reason told Ellott that the best way was to sell her. A born hero, based on her heroic identity and growth, doomed her high price.
After processing the corpses in the village, Ellot went to a nearby town and sold the hero to the largest transport and slave trade organization on the mainland: the Free Trade Association. Of course, this town is just a branch of a freelance chamber of commerce in a remote area.
Ellott, who received the huge amount of gold coins, once again felt his luck. The value of the property and the undead creatures after the destruction of five or six villages were only a few hundred gold coins. Selling this hero got 4000 gold coins.
Then came the purchase, and exchanged the gold coins for the items they needed most. On the way back, Ellott also noticed that someone was following him, but in the end he saw his undead creature and retreated because he didn't know his strength.
"The gains of this time are enough for me to study until the official Necromancer. Dispose of the last undead creature and return to the academy." Ellott, who was about to return to the tomb, thought so.

The warning brought by perception breaks Rod's originally quiet and peaceful state of mind. As if the rock fell into the water, splashing the surface of the water with waves, Rhode withdrew from meditation the first time.
Opening his eyes, Rhode knew that the Necromancer apprentice was back.
