The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 175: Chapter 158, Long Time No See (5000 words, First Update)._2

If she went with him, it could be a help.

“Do you want me to be your spirit servant?” the woman asked directly.

“Hmm, it could be beneficial for both of us. You can go out and see the world, Lundham City might have changed a bit, and you can’t always stay trapped here, can you?” Wu Heng began to persuade.

The woman lay back down on the lounge chair and started swinging slowly.

Creaking as it moved.

Seemingly caught in hesitation.

According to her own words, this place is her home, and she has been living here for a long time.

To suddenly step out, she really needed to think about it.

Wu Heng didn’t interrupt her and silently waited by her side.

Xiao Xiao still hung on his shoulder, whispering, “Uncle, what are you guys talking about?”

“I asked her why she was bullying my child. She said she’s been bored for too long here and wanted you to keep her company. But we can’t communicate, so I said that’s not acceptable. What if she scared my child? That’s a violation of personal freedom!” Wu Heng explained, using emotional gestures.

“Exactly, you tell her. She scared me back then!” Xiao Xiao chimed in.

“I told her, but she said this is her house. She’s been trapped here for a long time and hasn’t had any company for so long. So she wanted you to talk to her. When I thought about it, I felt quite sorry for her.”

Xiao Xiao tilted her head, feeling that made quite a bit of sense, “Hmm, this place is so ragged, and she’s all alone without even a lamp… she is quite pitiful….”

“So, she just apologized, and seeing she had a rather good attitude, I forgave her on your behalf.”

“That works too.”

The two of them were chatting, the woman on the lounge chair turned slightly to give them a glance.

She turned her head and said, “I can go with you, but you must promise me one request.”

Wu Heng stopped talking to ‘Xiao Xiao’ and asked her, “What request? I need to hear whether it can be done.”

“When you are powerful enough, help me kill a man.”

“Who? I’m the team leader of the association, I have my moral bottom line.” Wu Heng emphasized, afraid she might propose something like a ritual requiring the death of countless people.

The woman gave a faint smile, “My husband. I don’t know if he’s still alive, but if he is, I want you to help me kill him.”

The tone of these words was unusually calm.

As if the man she was talking about had no relation to her.

“May I know the background?” Wu Heng asked.

“There’s nothing to hide. He murdered me and took everything I had, turning this home into what it is now. As a ghost, I intend to take revenge on him.” The woman looked over and asked, “Has this touched your moral bottom line? Sir Captain.”

“Well, if there isn’t a twist in the story, I agree to your request.” Wu Heng responded.

The relationship between a Necromancer and his spirit servant is that of master and servant.

The Necromancer commands the ghosts while his soul power nourishes the ghosts.

It is a mutual aid relationship.

But in their roles,

The Necromancer is the master, and the ghost is the servant.

Even if she were lying, considering their respective roles further down the line, he would always have the absolute right and had nothing to fear.

“Very well, I am prepared to be your spirit servant.” The woman took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Wu Heng nodded, using his spiritual power to envelop her body.

Gradually, he could feel his Soul Mark imprinted inside her soul.

[Successfully contracted a ghost.]

Wu Heng was delighted and immediately investigated the ghost’s attributes.

[Ghost]

[Level: 10]

[Attribute: Agility 22, Vitality 18, Intellect 28, Perception 16, Charisma 26.]

[Traits: Invisibility, Ethereal Movement, Push by Thought Power, Illusion, Possession, Soul Binding.]

[Invisibility: The ghost can make its soul completely invisible.]

[Ethereal Movement: Enter ethereal state, allowing you to pass through other creatures and objects.]

[Push by Thought Power: Can affect objects within range by thought power.]

[Illusion: Creates an illusion with soul power, forming a virtual illusion around, which can be broken by intelligence above 25.]

[Possession: Possesses ‘humanoid’ creatures around, causing the target to fall incapacitated and lose control of the body, the ghost gains control, charisma above 20 can’t be possessed.]

[Soul Binding: Places a restriction effect on a soul target, limiting its mobility.]

A Level 10 Ghost.

This level was already considered not low, and given the harsh conditions for a ghost’s survival and levelling up.

There were three new skills compared to ‘Xiao Xiao’.

[Illusion] is the skill used to create the illusion, which she had just cast.

[Soul Binding] can place a restriction effect on souls, which should be the skill she used to trap Xiao Xiao.

Wu Heng’s gaze fell on [Possession].

This skill was quite similar to the classic characteristics of ghosts in traditional ghost stories.

It could possess sentient beings and take over control of their bodies.

Needless to say, this woman was much more powerful than Xiao Xiao.

Of course, Xiao Xiao was still young and just became a ghost, her potential for growth was still high.

“Welcome to the team, Glenda!” Wu Heng smiled.

“Thank you, I look forward to your guidance, Captain.” Glenda gracefully rose, hovering in the air to show her respect.

She truly resembled a fine lady from high society.

Just without a body.

“Do you have anything else you need to prepare?”

“In the secret compartment in the corner of the room, there’s some money I saved. You can take that with you.” Glenda stood up, walked to the corner, and pointed to a moss-covered stone slab.
