MTL - Necromancers Are Frantically Stationing Troops In the Apocalypse

Chapter 22, Skeleton Crossbowman

Altluk may be tough and refuse to admit his teammates.

 But the deacon said so, so there is nothing wrong.

 Let the city hall praise a necromancer. It seems that it really played a big role in this mission.

 Sensing something was wrong with a few people, the deacon asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. Congratulations to Captain Altluk for recruiting a capable member." said the captain of the third team.

 “Thank you.” Altluk thanked him.

The deacon also continued: "This time the matter involves the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Except for the fourth team, all other teams are ready to assist Blackstone Town in apprehending the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

 “Yes!” everyone responded and left the conference hall.

 …

On the other side, Wu Heng took the skeleton to Dongcheng District.

 On both sides of the main road leading to the East City Gate are stalls one after another.

ˆ form a market with a very local style.

 The trophies of the mercenary group, the goods of the village, or some shops will also take out the items for sale during this time.

  If possible, you can set up a stall. If not, lay a piece of linen or leather on it, and it will be considered a stall.

Wu Heng arrived late, found a place on the edge, spread a piece of cloth, and took out all the things one by one.

 Mainly looted glasses.

The same things were placed on the stall.

Then he stood up and shouted: "Take a look, take a look, the black-hearted boss ran away with his sister-in-law. The glasses that were originally priced at 1,200 are now worth 50 coppers. First come, first served. The stall will be closed after the goods are sold out."

 Everyone who heard the shouting cast doubtful glances.

After listening to it again, I finally heard something like running away with my sister-in-law.

 I don’t understand what kind of goods can be related to the boss’s sister-in-law.

He then moved forward to see what he was selling.

Soon, the shouts attracted many people, who surrounded the stall several times.

 “All fifty coppers?”

“They are all fifty coppers, you can pick them as you like, they are convenient for drinking water, and they look good at home.”

"The boss really ran away with his sister-in-law? Didn't he take anyone else with him?"

“It’s not important. If you don’t buy it, you’ll just be left with the rest.”

 “How do these look like they have been used by people?”

“It gets dirty when you touch it, just go back and brush it and it’ll be fine.”

"I want one."

 “I want three, and I’ll drink from a glass too.”

 Once someone starts, the others behind will also spend money to buy.

This price is definitely cheaper than the glasses in shops, and the pattern and style are also better-looking than ordinary cylindrical ones.

It’s definitely good value for money here.

 The reason why we set this price is not because we really plan to make a lot of money.

These are all looted, and it would be a pity to throw them away. The only people who can come here to buy things are ordinary residents or villagers from remote villages.

 Leave it alone, why not sell it cheaply to everyone so everyone can use it.

 Amidst the various shouts from Wu Heng, this stall has become the most popular.

More and more people gathered together. They didn’t know what was going on, so they came here to watch the excitement.

Wu Heng kept collecting money, and soon the glasses on the stall were sold out.

 Many people didn't get it and slapped their thighs in anger.

 The people in the other stalls were dumbfounded.

what's the situation?

 The stall is closed now?

 Everything was sold out as soon as I sat down.

"No, I'm sorry." Wu Heng took a roll of stall cloth and put it away directly, and continued: "There will be another batch coming in a few days, and the price will still be the same as this place. If you need it, you can come and take a look. It’s convenient for everyone in the family to use.”

After packing up his things, Wu Heng took the skeleton and was about to leave. As soon as he stood up, several people gathered around him.

It's from several stalls nearby.

"Sir, if you don't have time, you can sell the goods to me directly. It will still be the same price and save you the time of a trip." One of them said.

 “Sell it to me, I can give you a higher price.”

"I have a physical store here. As long as the supply is stable, I can sell it for you..."

Wu Heng understood the purpose of these people and planned to resell the goods.

 This actually does not cost him anything, and it also saves time.

 But after thinking about it carefully, I decided to forget it. There is no guarantee when I will sell it next time, and it is difficult to explain the continuous production of goods out of thin air.

 There is no factory behind him, they are all moved from another world.

 If someone really wants to investigate, problems will arise.

He refused directly and said, "Sorry guys, it's hard to tell whether there will be goods next time, so we can't cooperate."

A few people heard that there was no goods in the back, so they did not continue to pester. They only left a few words that they could sell it to themselves if there was goods, and then each returned to their own stalls.

Wu Heng got up and started walking along the stalls.

Within just two steps, there were shouts from behind, "The boss ran away with his sister-in-law and took the goods to pay the bill."

The shouting people were stunned at the same time and looked at each other angrily.

Wu Heng looked back and continued walking forward.

This place is much more lively than the night markets in the modern world. Not to mention the weird and weird things sold, I didn’t go very far before I saw several groups of real people competing against each other.

However, they were relatively restrained. They did not draw their swords, but just greeted each other with their fists in the face.

 Walked around and stopped in front of a stall. The stall owner is a middle-aged man wearing leather armor, with herbal horns and five spears placed in front of him.

The spearhead is made of metal and the spear shaft is hardwood.

　　It should be used by nearby villages to drive away wild animals.

 Adventurers do not know how to use wooden weapons when fighting, and can easily be cut in half.

 On the contrary, it is easier to use against wild beasts.

 “How to sell the spear?” Wu Heng asked.

The stall owner looked up at him and said casually: "Two silver coins can also be exchanged for something."

 “I want all of these, can it be cheaper?”

“You want them all? Why do you want so many?” The stall owner looked up at him.

 “Can I give you a cheaper price?”

“I’ll buy them all for 10 silver coins, and I’ll charge you 9.” The stall owner continued.

Wu Heng paid directly and bought the five spears.

Seeing that the other party was generous, the stall owner continued: "If you like the rest, I'll cover it all and make it cheaper for you."

 “I’ll have a chance next time.”

　　Picked up the spear he bought, carried it with the skeleton Bassen, and walked towards his residence.

 …

　　After solving the dinner problem, Skeleton Basson went to the zombie world holding the purchased spear.

 The familiar rotten stench hit his face, but it gave him a sense of security of returning to normal life.

 The human world is too complex.

 In the mission in the mining village, the owner of the mine was actually the mastermind behind it, and almost killed the entire investigation team.

 The most difficult thing to guess is the human heart.

 You don’t have to worry about this in the zombie world.

When we arrived at the top of the building, the skeleton warriors stood upright on the top of the building. Only the skeleton dogs were running around non-stop, and no undead looked calm at all.

 “Bring those corpses over.” Wu Heng ordered.

 The skeleton warrior in front of him took action, dragged the corpse in the distance and threw it at his feet.

There are four corpses in total. The people who attacked me in Mining Village yesterday selected a few and brought them back.

In addition to the corpses, there were four iron swords, two crossbows and some crossbow bolts.

These are worth a lot of silver coins.

　　The armor and clothes on several people were stripped off, revealing patterns that resembled wolf heads.

 Should be a mercenary or a member of a gang.

 Only these organizations often have this kind of uniform tattoo on their bodies.

  It should be the same as giving a family name when playing games. It helps to unite and identify one's own people, and it also adds prestige.

I just glanced at it and didn’t look at it more.

These have nothing to do with him. Even if it is a big gang, they will go to the Blackstone Town Guards to settle accounts.

  Directly release [Bone Slave Technique].

 The flesh and blood fell off, and the four skeletons stood up.

 They are two skeleton swordsmen and two skeleton crossbowmen.

 The Skeleton Swordsman has one level 6 and one level 5, while the crossbowmen have two level 5 swordsmen.

　　Specially looked at the attributes of the crossbowman.

  【Skeleton Crossbowman】

ˆ [Level: 5 (0/3000)]

 【Attributes: Constitution 12, Strength 14, Agility 14, Intelligence 9, Perception 8, Charisma 5.】

　　【Characteristics: Empty skeleton, basic soul. 】

  【Experts: Hunter aiming, coordinated attack. 】

　　【Ability: One-handed sword specialization (basic), hand crossbow specialization (intermediate), light armor specialization (intermediate), lock picking (basic), trap disarming (basic). 】

　　【Hunter Aiming: Focus on aiming, and the attack will become extremely accurate. 】

  【Coordinated attack: Having rich experience in teamwork, you can better cooperate with teammates/allies to attack. 】

 All four skeletons have basic souls, and blue firelight flickers in the empty eye sockets.

 The attributes of crossbowmen are mainly hand crossbow specialization and proficiency.

There are long -range arms on my own side.

 The swordsman’s attributes are not special either.

　　【Expert: Precision Swordsmanship. 】

  【Ability: Two-handed sword specialization (intermediate level), light armor specialization (intermediate level), medium armor specialization (intermediate level). 】

　　is not bad either.

Wu Heng looked at the four skeletons and said to the sixth-level skeleton swordsman: "I will be called Jian Yi from now on."

He then said to the swordsman and crossbowman on the side respectively: "You are the second sword, you are the first crossbow, and you are the second crossbow."

 Four skeletons nodded their skulls.

 In this way, you will have six skeletons with souls.

Teddy the Skeleton Dog, Basson the Skeleton Thief, as well as Sword One and Sword Two and Crossbow One and Crossbow Two.

 “Go and put on your armor first and put on your own weapons.” Wu Heng ordered.

 The four skeletons walked aside and began to put on their stripped off equipment.
