nChapter 55: Intelligence Mystery Lock

nTranslator: Lonelytree

nAt the same time.

nThe cloak on his back also became bigger and thicker.

nThe Dark Night Cloak was originally just a pitch-black cloth, but now there were two pieces of red velvet material at the bottom and around the neck.

nSoldier now looked like a big shot.

nMatthew thought for a moment and decided to change Soldier’s contract to a more advanced one.

nThe current Soldier was the same as the other skeleton soldiers. He had signed a temporary contract with Matthew. He could be summoned and abandoned at any time.

nThe advantage of this contract was that it was cheap.

nHowever, it was not conducive to the long-term tacit understanding between the necromancer and the summoned creature.

nMatthew had been watching to see how Soldier could be strengthened. Now, he felt that Soldier was qualified enough to use up one of his contract slots.

nIn the future.

nSoldier, like Peggy and Phily, would become Matthew’s exclusive contracted Undead Summon!

nContract replacement successful. Your contract slot-I, exclusive contract creature 1.

nCurrent number of contracts: 3

/5

nYou have paid 1 Soul Crystal as a reward for Soldier’s hard work for the next three months. Your summoned creature, Soldier, is extremely grateful. His loyalty to you has increased to 105!

nThanks to your discerning eyes, great nurturing, and generous funding, Soldier has shared his ability, Dark Night Cloak, with you!

nDark Night Cloak (Weakened): You can enter a strong invisibility state anytime and anywhere. After entering the invisibility state, you cannot be selected and cannot be attacked. But there is a possibility of being accidentally injured by ranged attacks.

nDuration: 45 seconds

n“I’ve practically raised Soldier myself. It’s much kinder than Phily!”

nMatthew was very emotional.

nDark Night Cloak was Soldier’s trump card.

nThis was one of the few abilities Matthew could use.

nAlthough there was a time limit and its effects were weakened compared to the original version, it was still an excellent escape skill.

nAt least it was much stronger than the Invisibility Ring that Matthew had obtained before!

nImmediately.

nMatthew tried it a few times in the room.

nAfter activating the Dark Night Cloak.

nHe felt as if he had entered the water.

nHe was surrounded by a sticky, flowing medium.

nThere was a deep barrier between him and the material world.

nHowever, it could be broken at any time.

nCompared to the Invisibility Ring, which limited his movement when hidden, Matthew could walk at normal speed under the Dark Night Cloak!

nMatthew even deliberately walked towards Eli.

nThe Ancient Tiger’s senses were indeed sharp.

nHe jumped up at once, his nose twitching. Then, he lay back down lazily.

n“Next time, remember to take a shower or apply perfume.”

nEli proudly commented, “I’ve long remembered your scent. Necromancer, your invisibility might not be bad, but I’ve said it before, we Druids are the kings of the jungle!”

nMatthew shrugged and walked away.

nHe believed that not everyone had a sensitive nose like Eli’s.

nNext, he tested the cooldown time of the Dark Night Cloak.

nSeven minutes.

nThe Dark Night Cloak could only be used for a second time after 7 minutes.

nThis was a little too long.

nHowever, considering that this was an ability that had been exchanged with a soul crystal.

nMatthew was still feeling contented.

nMatthew returned to the Moonlight Woodlands.

nSomewhere in the third level of the underground hive.

nA strong wind blew.

nIt blew away the thick pile of fallen leaves on the ground, revealing the ghastly white bones of varying degrees of decay underneath.

nSamantha stood at the edge of the tunnel and said, “These corpses have already been purified. You don’t have to worry about whether they are still infected by the Violent Zerg.”

nMatthew nodded.

nHe didn’t waste any time and immediately began to summon his underlings.

nNot long after.

nA group of skeleton soldiers who were trembling but still full of spirit appeared in front of Matthew.

nA total of 12.

nThis was the maximum number of undead creatures Matthew could maintain, not counting exclusive contract summons.

nThe maximum number of summoned creatures could be increased.

nOnce he completed his next advancement, then the number would be 18, which was the current number 6.

nIn most cases, the maximum number of summoned creatures of a Necromancer strictly followed this formula.

nOnly a few people could break through the limit.

nThey had either mastered the relevant powers, had ancient artefacts, or were Legends.

nThe Undead Calamity was not so easy to activate.

nMost necromancers lived their long lives cautiously.

nThey were no different from ordinary mages.

nMaybe even poorer.

nSamantha informed Matthew through Ella that she had yet to organize all the information she had collected about the Su Country, but she could take Matthew to replenish the skeleton soldiers first.

nConsidering the impending storm in Rolling Stone Town, Matthew agreed.

nWhile controlling the unfamiliar skeletons, he pretended to ask casually, “Why don’t I see Eli?”

nSamantha said coldly, “I’ve already broken up with him.”

nMatthew was shocked. “Wait. You two were a couple?!”

nIt didn’t seem like it.

nIt didn’t look like it at all!

nMatthew recalled some of the details and scenes he had seen when he met the two of them. He would believe it if it was said that Eli was interested in Samantha, but to say that they were a couple…

nWhich couple was so unfamiliar with each other?

nSamantha didn’t seem to want to talk too much about this topic..
