We remained there for quite so ti to check on the machine for a little bit more. Since Lucia still can't decide whether to destroy the machine or not, we have no choice but to wait for her. Queen Tanya is patient enough since it's not her final say about this matter and with Lucia still trying to find any clues regarding what happened during her ti of slumber, she didn't force Lucia to any kind of tough decisions imdiately.
As for , I am checking on the skeleton. It might have already been a long ti since the skeleton reached the end of its life, but I can't help but want to learn so information about it. I asked Lucia if it was fine to check on the belongings of the dead and she agreed that it's not really her jurisdiction if I loot the corpse or not.
Despite this being disrespectful to the dead, I decided to continue looting the corpse. Adventurers loot dead bodies, it's always what we do and will always be.
The first thing I did was check the skeleton first. There is bound to be stuck on the skeleton after death but in this case, it seems that was not the case as the skeleton doesn't have anything interesting at all. There is just one necklace dangling on the skeleton's neck but there's nothing interesting to it, it was just a necklace. However, this might be sothing important so I decided to pocket it.
The next thing I did is check the lab coat the skeleton was wearing. The lab coat was not the important part but the pockets it possess. When I checked one of the pockets for anything, I found a little book similar to the necromancer's book that I have been collecting. However, when I tried reading it, it suddenly disappeared from my hands and a system log appeared before .
-You have found the seventh commandnt of the Necromancy Inheritance!
-New abilities have been unlocked and a few unavailable skills can now be purchased!
-[Whisper of the Dead] passive has been unlocked!
The seventh commandnt?! The random booklet I found was actually part of the necromancy pages I have been looking for. I wasn't even expecting things like that but that is a welco thing for . I am not even gonna say no to this blessing!
Opening my skill tree for the necromancer, I found so new skills have been indeed added and there are so skills that can be purchased as well. And as for the passive...
[Whisper of the Dead]
Type: Passive
Info: The skill that allows the user to be capable of understanding the language of the dead and the undead. Instead of hearing deathly moans and groans from the zombies and undead and the clicking and clacking sounds from the skeletons, you will instead be able to hear and understand what they were saying completely.
Note: Talking to the dead has never been this easy before!
The skill was sothing I wasn't even expecting to see. Now, I can easily communicate with my skeletons like I am conversing with normal humans now. it was a massive thing as the undead species are one of the hardest to communicate with and they just randomly groan and moan instead of listening to commands, making so undead very hard to control as they just do not do what you wanted.
I checked out the new skills I got and one of them is sothing I wasn't expecting.
[Seance]
Type: Active
Mana Cost: 100 mp per minute
Cooldown: N/A
Info: A skill that allows the user to draw out the soul or the mories of a certain corpse and extract information or talk to them without resurrecting the dead. In case the [Seance] is too successful, there is also a chance that the user will witness a scene of the corpse they are trying to communicate. However, please be aware that this can corrode the mind and can reduce sanity if used in a prolonged state. [Seance] can also be used to converse with ghost enemies and other phenona that involve the paranormal. However, it can only be used once per corpse, ghost, and other paranormal phenona. The skill cannot be cast again to communicate with them ever again.
Note: You can now be a certified Paranormal Expert!
A skill for communicating with the dead without the need for resurrection? A way to communicate? Isn't this too convenient and too coincidental as well? I am not sure whether my luck was just that good or the reason why it was like this is that I have to indeed communicate with the dead but this is sothing I find good for and everyone else. If I use this skill, I can actually start communicating with the skeleton here and help the others with the investigation. However, the problem is that there is a chance that I will go crazy after using this skill, thus corroding my mind. It's hard to recover on my own with this and the only way to recover is to get a strong attack and suffer the pain.
But still, this should mark the final nail in the head this ti so I called Queen Tanya and Lucia.
"What's going on, Bladeheart? You got sothing?" Queen Tanya tilted her head.
"It seems you are up to sothing, Master. What is it?" Lucia asked.
"I got so skill related to the dead and apparently, this will allow to communicate with the dead and summon their souls once to talk to."
"A skill that allows you to talk to the dead? Is that a necromancy skill? I never heard of a necromancy skill that advanced. Mostly, it was just reviving the dead and making them undead, fully under the control of the one who resurrected the corpse," Queen Tanya was skeptical.
"Apparently, it was a hidden skill. I managed to unlock its hidden trigger for to learn it and I received the skill. I called you guys because I want to see whether this will be sothing good to do. I can only use this skill once on a corpse so I want to ensure that you two agree with what I am about to do."
"Are you planning on using that skill to communicate with this guy here?" Queen Tanya asked.
"Yes. I am still not sure whether you guys will agree to it, but I want to ask you guys since this might help with the investigation and maybe this can also help Lucia get the choice she is looking for a lot faster."
"I don't see why not? I agree with doing it, but ultimately, we needed to ask you, Lucia, this is a choice that you needed to learn as well. Do you want your Master to use the skill and communicate with the dead person?"
I was expecting Lucia to hesitate but I was wrong as Lucia didn't even hesitate once. She imdiately gave the answer to .
"Yes, Master. Use the skill and try to talk with the dead demon here. If we can talk to this guy then I have lots of questions to ask him about!"
With the decision of Lucia imdiately given to , I nodded in response and touched the skull of the skeleton. Channeling my mana, I invoke the skill and activated it.
"[Seance]!
The skeleton glows white and enveloped its whole body. Everyone looks anxious as the skeleton gradually floated in the air. As for , I continue to do the skill. I also read so mana potions with , as well as this, which is a channeling skill that continuously uses mana once the skill is active and will only stop if the user stops it as well.
Once the skeleton floated up, the white energy imbued on the skeleton slowly ford a figure. After a few monts the skeleton that just floated in the air landed back on the ground but this ti, the white energy has fully transford into a person. Or more precisely, a demon.
It was a young man. He retained the lab coat on his body and he looks like a handso one as well if he is born in the real world, he can easily pass as a model or even get scouted to be an actor as well.
"You...it's you Sandro?!" Lucia exclaid and her expression is clearly sothing that she didn't expect.
The soul-like person that Lucia nad Sandro slowly turned his head around and his eyes landed on all of us below him, then his eyes locked on Lucia.
"Wait...Lucia? How are you here?! I am quite sure the tomb was properly sealed! It shouldn't have caused you to co out without soone's help!"
"I already woke up and realized that a thousand years have already passed by. Naturally, the tomb will no longer hold on its own. However, I have so many questions to ask you. What is going on, Sandro? And why are you dead already?"
