The writing was also deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the contents on it were still clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The page he casually flipped open was filled with dense text and some illustrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This book records the process of making armor for Skeleton Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeletons, being just bones, cannot wear armor in the same way a normal person would. Therefore, their armor is a kind of skirt armor, essentially a bodice armor, interconnected with downside armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is similar to a lady’s dress, where the lower armor is connected to the upper part, and it’s worn supported by the upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made sense to Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pants that Basen and both Jians were made to tie onto their skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They appeared to be wearing trousers, but in reality, they were held up by straps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the book speaks about armor, which differs from normal trousers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flipping through to another page carelessly, he found information related to ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say this is an encyclopedia of necromancy, recording relevant knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To other classes, or Necromancers with a lineage, this book wouldn’t have much value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the eyes of Wu Heng, its worth was indeed high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you need it?” the stall owner inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“200 silver coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng was taken aback, and exclaimed, “Isn’t that a bit pricey!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>” If you don’ t want it, put it down.” The owner reached out as if to take the book back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng quickly retracted his hand and said, “I’ll take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basen then pulled out a pouch of money and handed it over directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner did not say anything else and took the money, resuming his previous posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying his purchased items, Wu Heng left the black market with Basen and boarded a carriage to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having eaten their evening meal at a crowded tavern,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned to their residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng pulled out the day’s haul and placed it all on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first item was the Organ Jar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire pottery jar gave off a strange feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully placed the bloodshot Level 2 Corpse Core into the jar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sealing the jar, even the cracks were covered with a sealing clay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connecting seam was virtually invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ihope this works!” said Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hoping it would be useful in some way, as the Core would deteriorate in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent the Organ Jar back to the Zombie World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Wu Heng continued browsing the new Skill Book he had acquired. Necromantic magic involves the use of spiritual power and necrotic energy. And to make a corpse rise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is not to change their fate or truly bring the dead back to life, but to use necromantic magic to create a faux life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To summon forth the experiences of the deceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even if the dead come back to life, they aren’ t truly who they once were. Even when relatives are standing in front of them, they won’t show any emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will simply answer five questions according to the rules, and then lie back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, inventing such magic is impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng read the Skill Book until the very last page, and then a notification from the system followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unlock Skill: Communicate with the Dead]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, a skill was unlocked. It’s not like the Swordsmanship Book, which after reading for days showed no progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting the Skill Book away, Wu Heng wanted to take a look at the ‘Book of Necromancy’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the night had grown deep, and he was starting to feel drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly washed up and went straight to bed to rest, planning to continue the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zombie World,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng assigned tasks to the Skeletons and began to read the ‘Book of Necromancy’ he had bought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of browsing randomly like yesterday, he started reading it seriously from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the book, the spiritual power of a beginner Necromancer is very weak, thus the casting of spells and control over the undead are limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beginner Necromancer can control roughly up to twenty Skeleton Warriors at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty?” Wu Heng glanced back at the densely packed skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.487Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","bca7a3f6a6e631d4e2b122edeeb11b027b34db1f1b4b84137472ad3a59eee274","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-66","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-64",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
