Chapter 45 - Sudden Death King’s Attributes
Necromancers.
Lu Ran finally understood. Necromancers were beastmasters that could control familiars’ souls, which were commonly called ghosts in the Xia Empire.
"Damn."
Lu Ran's scalp tingled as his impression of beastmasters began to shift.
"Hahaha, I was also shocked when I first found out." Zhao Chen laughed.
"It's like we’re in a horror movie. I've heard a lot about it, but I have yet to see a ghost familiar with my own eyes. I might have the chance to see one once I solve this case in Golden Hill.
"Alright, we're here."
As the two chatted, they finally reached the foot of the mountain. During that time spent walking down, Zhao Chen had received about four calls.
Zhao Chen turned to Lu Ran and said, "Do you want to return to your master's dojo first, or go to the Beastmaster Tower with me?
"Actually, never mind. I’d like you to come back to the tower with me. Although Little Wang is quite capable, his investigative ability isn’t that great. It will be difficult for him to find a necromancer and a ghost familiar quickly, given his skill level. We may need backup.
"If everything is going according to plan, said backup should already be on the way. You were the first on the scene, so you may need to give a detailed statement when the time comes."
