Chapter 27 Is it because of digging up graves that Ms. Daisy was imprisoned for half a year?
"A necromancer?"
Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow, took the parchment Vanessa handed him, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. What's wrong with a necromancer? I'm not that kind of prejudiced person."
He glanced down at the text on the parchment, which was all densely packed Wörthern script, and he, as a man, did not recognize a single word.
Zhou Qing, without changing his expression, handed the parchment back to Vanessa: "Can you read it for me?"
Vanessa suppressed a laugh as she took the parchment, cleared her throat, and began to read.
Soon, Zhou Qing learned the other party's general information.
Daisy, a necromancer.
Two years ago, the foreign adventurer arrived in Kara City and joined six adventurer parties, but was expelled by his teammates each time for various reasons.
I recently advanced to Bronze Adventurer by accumulating experience through missions.
The overall information is quite brief, containing only name, occupation, and rank.
After all, the Adventurers' Guild only does basic registration and doesn't pry into the adventurers' private lives.
Just then, Hunter, who had been standing to the side as a background figure, suddenly spoke up: "Necromancer Daisy? You're not talking about that filthy Daisy, are you?"
Vanessa's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, clearly realizing that Hunter was telling the truth.
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, and he eagerly urged Hunter, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Hunter lowered his voice and whispered in Zhou Qing's ear, "This Daisy doesn't have a good reputation in the adventurer circle. It's said that she has a severe necrophilia."
"When I used to team up with others and camp in the dungeon, I would often stay up late at night, squatting next to the corpses of monsters, fiddling with them while making eerie laughs, which scared my teammates so much that they couldn't sleep at all."
"Moreover, the way she looked at her fellow soldiers was strange, like she was eyeing something good. Some people said she was eyeing their bodies and had designs on them. Many people were traumatized by her staring, which is why she was always kicked out of the squad."
"I also heard that last year she secretly went to a cemetery outside the city to rob graves in the middle of the night, but she was caught red-handed by the patrolling guards and was locked up for half a year before being released. Since then, no one has been willing to team up with her."
Hunter recounted all of Daisy's dark history in one breath.
Vanessa stood to the side, her head almost touching her snow-white chest, and said in a voice barely audible, "Lord Zhou Qing, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you this beforehand... If you feel it's inappropriate, may I introduce you to three other mages?"
"Inappropriate? Not at all!" Zhou Qing waved his hand dismissively, speaking with utmost magnanimity. "I completely understand!"
"Necromancers deal with corpses and skeletons all day long, so it's normal for them to have eccentric personalities. We shouldn't discriminate against them."
"Besides, it must be tough for them to be surrounded by corpses every day. It's not easy for them."
Vanessa and Hunter were both stunned by Zhou Qing's magnanimity and looked at him as if he were a saint.
Only Zhou Qing himself was making plans.
What's so bad about necrophilia?
This is necromancy!
This is a cool magic spell that can summon skeletons and control corpses, much cooler than those trashy fireball spells and useless wind blade spells!
Besides, it's just tomb raiding, what's the big deal?
Once I learn necromancy, I'll dig up graves every day!
No, how can the work of tomb raiders be described as grave robbing?
It was clearly a private archaeological team.
Zhou Qing had even started to imagine it.
Is the strength of a summoned creature related to the strength of the deceased in life?
If there really is a connection, then I will not only have to dig up graves in the fantasy world, but I will also have to go back to the martial arts world and find the tombs of those ancient martial arts masters to rob!
Those martial arts masters had such terrifying physical strength in life, and their corpses after death would definitely be excellent materials for casting spells. The summoned corpses would definitely have explosive combat power!
Hunter was stunned for a long time before finally managing to say, "Fine, whatever makes you happy."
He realized that Lord Zhou Qing's brain circuits were completely different from ordinary people, and that he was indeed suffering from a serious illness.
Zhou Qing completely ignored Hunter's gaze and turned to Vanessa urgently, saying, "Don't look for anyone else, it's her! She's my destined teammate! Quickly, take me to see this great necromancer!"
Vanessa paused for a moment, then quickly pointed towards the mission hall: "Lady Daisy... she's over there."
Zhou Qing looked in the direction Vanessa pointed and saw a person in a corner of the mission hall, completely covered by a black robe, with his head covered by a hood, making it impossible to see his face, only a pale chin.
She was looking up, intently staring at the task assignments on the wall.
On either side of her stood two tall figures, also shrouded in black robes, motionless, looking like two statues.
Speaking of which, Daisy is quite conspicuous in the mission lobby.
After all, the adventurers around her deliberately kept a distance, no one was willing to get close to her, as if there was some invisible barrier around her.
Zhou Qingxing walked towards Daisy with great enthusiasm. As soon as he got within three meters, a strong stench of corpses hit him, almost making him faint.
Holy crap, this smell is way too strong!
No wonder no one wants to get close; it's practically a mobile biological weapon, complete with a magical barrier that keeps strangers away!
However, the thought of learning necromancy and having the other party as a free henchman instantly made Zhou Qing forget his discomfort. He shouted loudly at the black-robed figure, "Excuse me, is this because of Ms. Daisy, who has been imprisoned for half a year for digging graves?"
"who!"
Daisy shuddered in fright, turned around abruptly, her eyes wide with panic beneath her hood, and looked around in terror. She immediately drew her skull staff, fearing that guards would rush over and drag her back in for another six months.
The adventurers around them had been secretly watching, and seeing Daisy's reaction, they couldn't help but chuckle, with some even pointing and whispering about her.
Daisy's face flushed instantly, not with embarrassment, but with anger, yet she dared not retaliate. She could only lower her voice and ask warily, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Zhou Qing strode up to her, a smile bordering on excessive enthusiasm on his face, and said sincerely, "I'm Zhou Qing, the captain of the Mambo Squad. I heard you'd like to join my team?"
Upon hearing this, Daisy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed.
She stared at Zhou Qing for a few seconds before she realized what was happening.
Mambo Squad?
That's true.
Daisy had just come to the Adventurers' Guild as usual to try her luck and see if there were any unwanted quests when the receptionist told her that a newly formed team was recruiting mages and asked if she was interested in joining.
She agreed without even thinking about it.
After all, mages are different from warriors; they are physically weak and easily ambushed and killed by monsters when exploring dungeons.
Even if she is a necromancer, having two undead servants to help her, being able to explore dungeons alone, and possibly joining an adventurer's party, is still a good thing.
