Interlude: Secrets

Richard's barbarians and desert warriors worked together, moving all the bodies off the carriages they'd been brought over in. Zendrall sprayed some antiseptic medicine on them before casting some spells. The corpses were drained of their moisture, but they didn't shrivel too much and retained their original appearance. At level 12, the necromancer could handle a whole slew of bodies at a time. He only needed five rounds to go through all 206. That being said, he disapproved of Richard showing the corpses off in public. In his eyes, such a thing was pointless. Who would be frightened by a body? Richard should just have left them to him. These were obviously all veteran soldiers who had trained long enough to have sturdy bodies. They could become elite skeleton warriors in his hands, forming an army of level 4-5 beings who could wield sword and shield.

At his level, Zendrall could restrict the level drop from when his army was alive to only two or three levels. If he prepared meticulously and used several supplementary potions, he could even avoid the drop entirely. However, the resources such an act would consume would be immense, and it was only worth it when creating warriors of darkness. He hadn't gotten high-grade materials in a long time, but Richard only smiled at his complaints. Weak undead creatures like skeleton warriors weren't anything in the mage's mind. Every mage could use spirit summoning spells, so using a few in small-scale battles was no issue. However, a horde of undead would make it evident that a necromancer was serving him.

Necromancy was a taboo on Faelor, comparable even to demonology and second only to planar invasion. It had taken much effort to blend into the locals, and Richard did not want to attract the gods' attention for a useless army of skeletons. By this point, he had a much better understanding of Faelor’s pantheon. Although he was indeed an invader from another world, his limited strength had marked him as an insignificant threat. Sinclair had come quickly on his heels, and given her many large-scale wars with the allied armies of Circe and Neian, she had inflicted significant damage on the churches in the Sequoia Kingdom. Any eyes that had been following him had been attracted to her. And now, the deal with the Direwolf Duke solved any issue of identity. There was no further news regarding the first invaders, and the people of the Whitecliff Duchy quickly forgot about an invasion by some insignificant force. He was basically a mosquito to the gods. Annoying, sure, but tiny. He would not be able to cause any trouble, and even if he went missing, they would only assume he died in some dark corner. One would slap a mosquito if it bit them but wouldn't care even if it flew away. The gods felt the same about him.

Richard returned to his residence; what he needed now was to meditate and restore his mana. However, just as he
