Chapter 55: Intelligence Mystery Lock

At the same time.
The cloak on his back also became bigger and thicker.
The 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.
Soldier now looked like a big shot.
Matthew thought for a moment and decided to change Soldier’s contract to a more advanced one.
The 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.
The advantage of this contract was that it was cheap.
However, it was not conducive to the long-term tacit understanding between the necromancer and the summoned creature.
Matthew 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.
In the future.
Soldier, like Peggy and Phily, would become Matthew’s exclusive contracted Undead Summon!
[Contract replacement successful. Your contract slot-I, exclusive contract creature +1.]
[Current number of contracts: 3/5]
[You 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!]
[Thanks to your discerning eyes, great nurturing, and generous funding, Soldier has shared his ability, Dark Night Cloak, with you!]
[Dark 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.]
[Duration: 45 seconds]
“I’ve practically raised Soldier myself. It’s much kinder than Phily!”
Matthew was very emotional.
[Dark Night Cloak] was Soldier’s trump card.
This was one of the few abilities Matthew could use.
Although there was a time limit and its effects were weakened compared to the original version, it was still an excellent escape skill.
At least it was much stronger than the Invisibility Ring that Matthew had obtained before!
Immediately.
Matthew tried it a few times in the room.
After activating the Dark Night Cloak.
He felt as if he had entered the water.
He was surrounded by a sticky, flowing medium.
There was a deep barrier between him and the material world.
However, it could be broken at any time.
Compared to the Invisibility Ring, which limited his movement when hidden, Matthew could walk at normal speed under the Dark Night Cloak!
Matthew even deliberately walked towards Eli.
The Ancient Tiger’s senses were indeed sharp.
He jumped up at once, his nose twitching. Then, he lay back down lazily.
“Next time, remember to take a shower or apply perfume.”
Eli 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!”
Matthew shrugged and walked away.
He believed that not everyone had a sensitive nose like Eli’s.
Next, he tested the cooldown time of the Dark Night Cloak.
Seven minutes.
The Dark Night Cloak could only be used for a second time after 7 minutes.
This was a little too long.
However, considering that this was an ability that had been exchanged with a soul crystal.
Matthew was still feeling contented.
Matthew returned to the Moonlight Woodlands.
Somewhere in the third level of the underground hive.
A strong wind blew.
It blew away the thick pile of fallen leaves on the ground, revealing the ghastly white bones of varying degrees of decay underneath.
Samantha 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.”
Matthew nodded.
He didn’t waste any time and immediately began to summon his underlings.
Not long after.
A group of skeleton soldiers who were trembling but still full of spirit appeared in front of Matthew.
A total of 12.
This was the maximum number of undead creatures Matthew could maintain, not counting exclusive contract summons.
The maximum number of summoned creatures could be increased.
Once he completed his next advancement, then the number would be 18, which was the current number +6.
In most cases, the maximum number of summoned creatures of a Necromancer strictly followed this formula.
Only a few people could break through the limit.
They had either mastered the relevant powers, had ancient artefacts, or were Legends.
The Undead Calamity was not so easy to activate.
Most necromancers lived their long lives cautiously.
They were no different from ordinary mages.
Maybe even poorer.
Samantha 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.
Considering the impending storm in Rolling Stone Town, Matthew agreed.
While controlling the unfamiliar skeletons, he pretended to ask casually, “Why don’t I see Eli?”
Samantha said coldly, “I’ve already broken up with him.”
Matthew was shocked. “Wait. You two were a couple?!”
It didn’t seem like it.
It didn’t look like it at all!
Matthew 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…
Which couple was so unfamiliar with each other?
Samantha didn’t seem to want to talk too much about this topic..
