Chapter 65 - 64 – Necromancer base.
Chapter 65 - 64 – Necromancer base.
After making the dwarf "Cooperative", we now had a problem.
As mentioned before, I fallowed the necromancer through his tracks as well as found out the poorly made fake wall that hid his passage.
Even if I didn't found it, it would be still matter of time before the guards would have found it.
And going back to the city and covering up the exists is out of the question, since the guards maybe already checking out the sewers. I straight up doubt that place is filled with brainless idiots and wouldn't check the sewers.
The exit of the tunnel is nowhere near our current hiding spot, but the city will be aware that the dwarf had left the city and was in this forest.
They may start making
(I need the dwarf trust later on when I rescue him, so killing innocent people for the experiment was out of questions.)
(I would have to either dwarf or the necromancer.)
(Still… A heart that can make you an being that handles a necrotic mana?)
(I still don't know much about the magic and everything, but when I did little research about the magic in the Dawn city library, I found out there exist different type of manas as well as well as mana types.)
(I don't know much and still don't understand, but take this for example.)
(Humans don't have any elemental mana, but they can use their mana to use fire magic.)
(However the fire elemental mana is straight up mana of fire and it would make way stronger resource for casting a fire spell. Not only that, manas can have different type of natures, but that is quite weird and I still didn't read enough about it…. I only know where is non type, natural, demonic, holy and stuff, but didn't really dived into it since I find out that I cannot even use it anyway.)
(Anyway, the items can contain some elements and they can give different effects and results depending on what you use on crafting. I even tested it myself and confirm that it is possible to create equipment with some elemental boosting power.)
(For example: The mage staff can either increase fire element power or the water element power, if you used water element based materials OR fire element based materials. I even made those kind of items myself, for example the giant sewer rat materials had poison element in them.)
(There are also magic tools, for example like the everyday tools that use magic to operate or for example some of my alchemy tools I use have special magic engravings.
(If you are blacksmith or alchemist you will run into elemental materials sooner or later if not from get go depending on your starting location.)
(Honestly, crafting alone was fun, but the elemental mana did gave a nice mix. It straight up gives you way more possibles.)
(Not only the elements, but the crafting process and tools as well.)
(There are many different tools and ways of crafting as well as the fact that you can use them together and there is also the fact that this world have many different materials with each of their own characterizes as well as ups and downs and depending on how you make it, you can make pretty interesting stuff…. Man... I really like the crafting in here.)
(But anyway. There is definitely a BIG reason why the necromancer want to have that kind of heart inside his body.)
(I don't know how exactly that heart would work nor what effect it could have. It could make him way stronger necromancer, like some sort of pseudo lich or it may be allows him hold some sort special power. I need to do bit research about the mana and other stuff by the look of things in order to maybe understand his goal.)
(As for creating that bizarre object…. It seem that the necromancer is quiet bit confided and he also said he did few test already that worked a bit…... And the dwarf seem to be already thinking about something while holding that blueprint.)
(Is it possible to create this heart thing? And if so, what it will be?)
(It honestly would be a good thing if could-)
"!"
(Wait…. Hm….Oh.)
"…"
"Fuck it." – said doctor.
"Do you mind if I help out?"
"?"
"What do you mean?" – asked necromancer.
"It's just like I said."
"I will help out since you may requite an additional pair of hands instead of those brainless undeads."
"I'm bit of craftsman myself so I can help out a bit."
"Not only that, I need to make sure that the dwarf won't do anything funny. We maybe hold the people of the city hostage with the plague, but that doesn't mean we had enslaved his mind. He may try to do something like for example messing with the artifact intentionally or maybe other stuff."
"It's better if I keep a watch on him alongside you."
"And the sooner we are done with this the better."
"You don't mind it?"
"…."
"Fine." – said the necromancer.
"More hands we have the better and its even better if you are craftsman."
"Okay. But I will need to have time of my own and will probably leave the base often. I need to keep my base in the city operational or that will be quiet problematic for me and in turn you."
"Fuck you…. Fine. I'm fine with you leaving and going out. But we won't be waiting for you when we will be experimenting and everything."
"I'm fine with that." – replied doctor.
"…"
(GOOD!)
(If I research that "Heart" with them, I could use that knowledge for my cyborg modification knowledge.)
(Not only that, this guy knowledge may help me AND the dwarf knowledge may also help me grow.)
(I will steal your knowledge and research for my own gain.)
(Still. If I do this way a lot of time will definitely pass… I may lag again in terms of leveling up…. No.)
(It's worth it.)
(And I will make sure to get everything bit of juicy knowledge and skill from you while also using you two to improve my own crafting skill.)
(The necromancer may realize my intention, but he doesn't have choice since I'm needed in order to keep the dwarf obedient.)
(Not only that, he isn't wrong. The more hands the better and not only that, we need to finish the heart as soon as possible, since even if this place is so well hidden, it doesn't mean it still cannot be discovered.)
(The time limit is unknown and I can also gain the necromancer trust by giving him more support.)
(Not only that, I also need to take care of my workshop and earn money so I can keep it operating.)
(There is also my cyborg research.)
(Those current hands of mine aren't perfect and are still prototypes.)
(It will be a lot of work… But it will be worth in the end!)
