After carefully carving runes on a withered yellow skull that had been cleaned, Chen Mo threw the skull into the cauldron that was being boiled in the laboratory.
According to the requirements in the spell book, Chen Mo was supposed to prepare a crucible similar to the witch's soup pot in fantasy movies.
But obviously that kind of thing is not easy to find, so Chen Mo could only use the soup pot found in the church kitchen to make up for it.
Fortunately, the large stainless steel soup pot has enough depth and volume, so it can barely be used.
After all, this is not a fantasy world. The conditions are limited and everything is kept simple. Even if it takes him a month to accumulate materials, he can only make do with what he can make do.
In the soup pot at this time, in addition to the skull that Chen Mo had just thrown down, there were also messy things that Chen Mo had collected during this period, such as obsidian, cat tails, bat wings, and dead people's fingers. It looked very full.
The sense of sight of an evil wizard.
But in fact, most of these things are of no use. They are just Chen Mo using various animal carcasses that he can find and placing them in the basement according to the "animal carcass materials with negative energy" written in the spell book.
A product artificially generated in a negative energy environment.
Although adding it to the soup pot can also increase the negative energy content of the pot of soup, it is really hard to say how much effect it can have overall.
But anything is better than nothing, otherwise Chen Mo can only try to catch a few zombies outside and throw them into the basement to see if they can spawn stronger undead creatures, and then chop them up to make soup.
Of course, even though a soup pot is used, the cooking is basically the same as making soup, but the ingredients are a little weird, but this pot of soup is not for drinking.
Even a necromancer doesn't have such a good appetite to drink such messy stuff.
Perhaps for some more traditional wizards or witches, it is normal to use these things to brew potions, and they can pour the brewed potion into their mouths without any pressure, but Chen Mo is still indifferent to this.
Unless he was overwhelmed by the resentment and various negative emotions in the negative energy he absorbed during meditation, otherwise, as a normal person, he would never take a bite of something weirder than Lao Ba's secret hamburger.
of.
In fact, although there are magic potion recipes in spell books, they are basically relatively normal things, and it is rare to use various ingredients that sound weird to make soup.
The pot of soup Chen Mo cooked was just a special solution used to make a magic prop called the Soldier Card.
The so-called soldier card is one of the props used by low-level necromancers that can effectively control a large number of undead creatures.
The effect is simple and crude, that is, the soul and will of the undead creature are bound to the carrier of the soldier card, so that the mental pressure that should have been borne by the soul of the necromancer is borne by the soldier card itself.
As for the production method, it is also very simple. Just like Chen Mo is doing now, soak the sign made of white bones or wood or stones with special properties into the boiled negative energy solution, and then issue commands to it.
For the Necromancer spell, just add it to the soldier card and that's it.
Because the method was simple and there were no accidents during the production process, Chen Mo successfully harvested his first magic item.
"The upper limit of control is sixty? That's a bit low!" After checking his first work, Chen Mo curled his lips helplessly.
After spending almost a month of work and consuming a lot of materials, he finally came up with such a thing, and naturally he was not satisfied with it.
You must know that according to the description in the spell book, the upper limit of undead creatures that can be controlled by a standard soldier card is usually more than 200, and if the quality is good, it can even reach 500.
Even if the materials he used were relatively simple and makeshift, they wouldn't be reduced to just this much.
But the thing has already been made, and Chen Mo can't say that he will dismantle it and redo it. In that case, all the materials accumulated in this month will be wasted.
Fortunately, the quantity of sixty is not unusable, and this thing can be upgraded in the future when better materials are available. It's just that the foundation is a bit poor, which is not a big problem.
Seeing that there was still some negative energy solution left in the pot, and thinking that he could make another soldier card, Chen Mo thought about it and summoned a zombie, making it kneel in front of him.
Holding a knife, Chen Mo looked at the zombie with gray hair and a face that had begun to rot. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mo cut its scalp.
This zombie is wearing a priest's robe, so it should be no surprise that he is the priest of this church.
The main reason why Chen Mo wanted to cut open its scalp was to obtain its skull as a material for making soldier cards.
According to the records in the spell book, the bones of clergy have better qualities than ordinary people, and it is easier to transform powerful undead creatures from their corpses and souls.
So Chen Mo wanted to see if this priest, who should have been a devout believer during his lifetime, could bring him some surprises.
As for the soldier card just now, he made it out of an ancient coffin board dug in the cemetery behind the church. The skull thrown in happened to be the owner of that coffin, so it could be regarded as the original soup.
He cut open the priest's scalp and peeled it away to reveal the blackened skull. Even with a gas mask on, Chen Mo felt that the smell was a bit strong.
However, he didn't think too much. He picked up an electric drill nearby and carved runes on the priest's skull.
Chen Mo did not cut off the skull because he planned to try a more complicated production method.
If it was him a month ago, he might not have the strength to try it, but after a month of practice, he felt that he could probably complete this production.
The most important thing is that the magic circle in the basement itself is used to create a mana pool for the mage tower. Chen Mo only needs to activate some of the runes in it to directly extract the negative energy accumulated in the basement.
Although the negative energy gathered by the magic circle did not create a mana pool, the accumulated negative energy only made the basement haunted, but once Chen Mo did this, there was a high probability that the basement would be drained directly.
, causing the magic circle to be scrapped.
Therefore, Chen Mo could only use it as a backup method and try his best to use his own magic power to solve the matter.
Of course, if the magic power is really insufficient, Chen Mo will not be stingy about using the negative energy in the basement.
The worst case scenario is to find a hospital, get some blood and re-draw a magic circle.
Although this would add a lot of unnecessary work and trouble to himself, it was not a price he could not bear.
