Chapter 185
The students from the Magic Academies played a great role in the battle . Although the academies had taken them out to see the world and get experience but all of them were second-rank magicians . The attack power of second-rank magician was much stronger than the attack strength of a second-rank warrior . It was the reason why Xiao Yu had brought them to the Dark City . The role that these magicians could play at the crucial moment couldn’t be replaced by grunts or elf archers . It would be much harder to kill ordinary undeads or skeletal fiends if there were no magicians .
Master Alma said that the shiny particles on the ground were the Necromancer’s Essence . Everyone was stunned and Xiao Yu was first to inquire: “Necromancer’s Essence? What is this?”
Master Alma replied: “It is said that the Necromancer’s essence appears in places where there are lots of undeads . This essence is left after their death . It is very valuable thing for alchemists but it very hard to find them . ”
“No shit! It turned out to be such a cool thing . . We made it big this time!” Xiao Yu replied .
Lin Muxue immediately pinched him .
Xiao Yu immediately changed the way he talked: “We are so lucky to get such precious items . Master Alma, can you please enlighten us with the ways these essences could be used?”
Master Alma took a long breath as he looked at the small shiny crystalized essences: “Magical Explosive Arrows could be made out of these…”
“Explosive Arrows?” Xiao Yu almost jumped up .
He was very clear about the notion of Magical Explosive Arrows . They were similar to small missiles in terms of power . A large Magical Explosive Arrow could be launched from a ballista and could destroy a gate 2000 meters away from the same ballista . It would be a strategic weapon if its produced . Moreover, even if Xiao Yu couldn’t produce large ones then he could make lots of small Magical Explosive Arrows . What would happen if he equipped Tyrande with those arrows?
“What ya staring for? Hurry!” Xiao Yu looked at the grunts who were expert scavengers . They began to pick the essences and put them in empty bottles to be stored in interspatial rings .
“Master Alma, you know that my territory’s strength is relatively weak and I need powerful weapons to enhance my strength . . So I won’t give you anything from these essences but I can compensate you . ” Xiao Yu said .
How could he let these treasures to fall into the hands of others?
Master Alma smiled: “Oh . . Although you have the essences but you don’t have a strong alchemist to refine them for you . ”
Xiao Yu was stunned as indeed he didn’t know any alchemist who could refine the arrows . He was from a modern world . So he knew that even if he had materials to make hydrogen or atom bombs those couldn’t be made without a scientist . It was same with the alchemists in this world .
“Don’t worry . I’m not proficient in alchemy but I can introduce you to a friend . We will be called quits for this as you can think of it as compensation for so many things you have done for me . He is a good alchemist but I can’t promise that you can get his services . It will depend on you . ” Master Alma said with a smile on his face .
Xiao Yu was excited about the offer . He was planning to use all kinds of things he could to sway the person over to his territory . At the same time, grunts cleaned the area and not even a drop of necromancer’s essence was left .
“This essence should be dropped from the undeads that we have killed . We are going to encounter danger but it means we can get a lot of essences… There are more dead so we can’t go back . . Alright, lets get in!” Xiao Yu said . All the students from the Magic and Knight Academies yearned to continue to travel inside .
Xiao Yu had ability and strength to protect them . Moreover, they knew that he wouldn’t abandon anyone which brought a sense of security . They had experiences countless battles but no one had died . Moreover, people from this world wanted glory more than the life . They had killed a fourth-rank beast and had even went into the lair of a Lion Scorpion . Moreover, they had fought countless undead . All of them would be boasting and showing off their feats back at the cities and towns they lived .
“How can we get in if the gates are buried underground?” Lin Muxue asked .
Xiao Yu smiled: “The gates are blocked but I know a passage that will take us inside!”
The others listened to Xiao Yu but didn’t understand why he was so confident about the issue .
“Once I had a map of Dark City which described the entrances to it . I know that there is a flight path which connects the Dark City to outside . ”
“Flight path?” They were stunned as they didn’t understood the term .
Xiao Yu continued to explain: “In the ancient times the adventurers didn’t walk to far away places but instead used Griffins, Horned Eagles, Bats and other flying creatures . The Dark City had a flight path for those creatures to enter and leave the city . ”
Everyone was shocked to hear Xiao Yu’s answer . They began to imagine about the legendary ancient times where people used flying creatures to travel . Now, there were few places where they tamed flying creatures but those numbers could be counted with fingers of one hand .
Xiao Yu was familiar with the entrance because of the game! He had played it and used to enter the place with a bat . He had traveled to the Undercity (the one below the Lordaeron) with a guild back then .
They encountered undeads along the way . They killed few ghosts, skeletons and Skeletal Fiends but the number of enemies wasn’t much . The grunts collected all the essences that were dropped out of them .
Finally, the group was able to find the entrance . It had changed a lot but Xiao Yu knew that it was the entrance as he looked at the collapsed hole .
