"I have to admit that the story you made up is very tempting, but it's not enough to convince me," Guladam said with a sneer, "If you saw these two words from a lost classic Planting ancient magic, I still believe a little bit, the inheritance of that ancient great master... don't you think it's too ridiculous?"
"According to me, just kill it directly. What's the point of fussing with this ignorant skeleton?" Pagliu interjected disdainfully.
"Be patient, my partner," Chen Rui smiled slightly, "I just want to find a candidate who can reproduce the splendor of ancient undead magic. Give him the last time to choose."
partner? Pagliu's attitude and Chen Rui's address made Guladam secretly startled. This guy turned out to be a dragon knight? But the difference in strength between the two sides is too huge, how is it possible? Judging from the tone of the dragon clan, the matter of the ancient great master does not seem to be a lie...
"Do you still remember how your phylactery was damaged?" Chen Rui deliberately added fire, took out a bottle of black potion, and uncorked the bottle, "Or, do you know that the fountain of resurrection is What kind of potion is it used for?"
The aura of the black potion made Guladam shudder. That's right, it was this terrible potion, which severely damaged his soul essence with its unimaginable effect! Wait, the previous one was the Fountain of Resurrection, so...
"Resurrection Potion!" Guladam blurted out with a big shock in his heart.
He finally confirmed what he had suspected all along. What poison could do that kind of damage to the soul essence in the phylactery? It turned out to be a black potion that had been lost for seven thousand years... No, counting the two thousand years in You Ye Wetland, it should be nearly ten thousand years!
Not only that, even Rosenbach, the famous master of pharmacy more than 9,000 years ago, was said to be able to stop at the eternal potion, but now this enemy has a resurrection potion that represents the highest achievement of pharmacy!
Apart from the inheritance of the ancient great master, the Lich couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
Once this guy announces his achievements in pharmacy, he will definitely shock the entire devil world and become the hottest master figure.
It's just that Guladam didn't know that Chen Rui's identity as another three-line master craftsman had already shaken the entire demon world.
The way Guladam looked at Chen Rui changed a bit. The first master of pharmacy in the devil world for thousands of years has been inherited from the ancient master... No wonder, even such a powerful dragon clan recognizes him as a partner. So, that ancient system of necromancy—is it true? Then... the words to reproduce the glory of ancient undead magic are not empty words!
Guladam only felt a burst of heat in his heart, and his previous desire to die had already been reduced by half. If he could inherit the ancient undead magic system and carry it forward, then he would become the real first person in undead magic since ancient times!
After a moment of silence, Guladam finally made a choice. Now that he has been pushed to the last corner, even if he blew himself up, he couldn't die together. He could only die worthlessly. Besides, the ancient undead magic system was too tempting to be tempted.
"Mighty Dragon Clan, I can sign a contract with you." Guladam mused, "It's not a master-servant contract, but an equal contract. According to that guy, we can be a cooperative relationship."
"It's a good idea!" Pagliu snorted coldly, showing his murderous aura, "Boneless, in the current situation, you are not qualified to mention the word 'equality'! If it wasn't for my partner, I would have already Destroy you. My lord hates the stubborn guy the most. Since you are so persistent, then... "
As soon as the words were finished, the power in the poisonous dragon's domain suddenly doubled, and that oppressive power made the Lich's defense circle smaller and smaller. In fact, Pagliu is also a cunning guy, knowing that Chen Rui has other plans, this kind of tough attitude is nothing more than singing bad faces.
If it was the previous corpse witch, under the determination that he would rather die than be destroyed, he would probably detonate the phylactery with his heart, but now under the coercion and lure of Chen Rui and Pagliu, the idea of survival in Guladam's heart Occupying a dominant position, it is difficult to return to the previous mentality of death, and hurriedly shouted: "Subordination contract! This is my final bottom line. My life is longer than that of dragons, and I can use endless time to study undead magic. It must not be interrupted by some accident."
The subordinate contract is a high-level contract, second only to the equal contract, which is equivalent to the restrictive relationship between the monarch and his ministers. If the two parties sign a contract, the subordinate Guladam has his own intentions, and generally obeys orders and cannot betray him, but Pagliu also cannot control his life and death. Once Pagliu dies, the contract will be terminated; Like a master-servant contract, the master can control the life and death of the servant, and when the master dies, the servant will also die.
Pagliu showed a thoughtful look, looked at Chen Rui's eyes, and replied: "Yes, but your contract is not me, but him."
"Him?" Guladam was taken aback. If he signed a subordination contract with a powerful dragon clan, he would accept it in his heart. However, this guy in front of him is just a big demon king. By the way, last time he was only a demon king...
Guladam suddenly remembered, last time, this person hadn't reached the peak of the Demon King level, how could he reach the Great Demon King level so quickly? time in between...
"Yes, it's me." Chen Rui knew the reason for Guladam's hesitation: "I am the inheritor of the ancient great master. Similarly, I am the only one who knows the system of ancient undead magic in the entire demon world. Actually, this is beneficial to you, mine Life is definitely not as long as that of the dragon clan, even if you die, your contract time is only a few hundred years."
Guladam thought about it quickly, and the last sentence was correct. If he signed a contract with the Dragon Clan, he would probably have to surrender for tens of thousands of years, but the time to sign a contract with this "Demon Clan" must be much shorter. Besides, this person bears the inheritance of the ancient great master, at least he is already a master of pharmacy, and his potential is quite terrifying. In just a few months, he has soared from the level of the devil to the level of the great devil. It's a humiliation. Judging from the current passive situation of our own side, signing a contract with this person is the most perfect result.
In the end, Guladam made up his mind and signed a subordination contract with Chen Rui. The poor corpse witch didn't know that he had been cheated. Due to the symbiotic contract, under normal circumstances, the subordination time would at least tens of thousands of years.
However, Chen Rui really didn't make long-term plans for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years later. We will talk about the future.
As a condition for signing the contract, the corpse witch proposed to turn Yankou Village into his own experimental base. This was an ancient battlefield, and there were many powerful dead souls and bones. It was transformed from the skeleton of a rare strong man. Originally, there were two such top fear knights, but the one guarding the altar to the west was killed by Pagliu.
Chen Rui pondered for a while, discussed with Athena for a while, and agreed. Originally, Yankou Town was a remote town, barren and backward, and Chen Rui and Xi Ya had long planned to rebuild the towns in the territory. Yankou Town was one of the objects that needed to be relocated in the plan. This requirement seemed to be quite difficult , In fact, it is just pushing the boat with the current.
After the contract was signed, another item was added to the spiritual link of the super system, which was subordinate to the contract. This contract is somewhat similar to Samuel's blood oath of light, which can be truncated and cancelled.
Now that the affiliation has been confirmed, Chen Rui didn't make a fuss anymore, and told the skill system of the Necromancer in Diablo 2 from memory.
This used to be one of his favorite games, so those materials are remembered very clearly, and some of the contents have been modified appropriately. For example, the summoning and transformation categories include skeleton soldiers, zombies, ghosts, skeleton mages, horror knights, etc., and the ghost dragon, the ultimate undead unit in Heroes of Invincible (this has already shown its face in Xilang Mountain anyway), as for the vampire stone demon and so on are omitted for some reason.
Some things in the curse category overlap with dark magic, and Chen Rui selectively added or subtracted some of them. As for the bone armor, bone prison, poison explosion, and corpse explosion in the bone and toxin category, he explained it in detail.
This complete magic system has brought considerable inspiration to Guladam. Those magic and attack forms are somewhat unbelievable, but some can be realized in a short time, and some can be further improved and innovated. The two red lights in the Lich's eyes were shining brightly, and the reluctance in his heart to be forced to sign the subordination contract was immediately forgotten, and he wished to start trying immediately. However, the most important thing right now is to recover the soul essence in the phylactery first.
After the domain dissipated, the fog in the town gradually dissipated, and the comatose people gradually woke up and returned to normal.
It's just that there are some things that need to be clarified.
In the mayor's mansion, the mayor Shi Ke was sitting on the ground, shivering, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
On the opposite side of Shi Ke was a... skeleton in a long robe, with gloomy red eyes, and a cold voice with a bit of eerie joy: "This fresh body has a high fat content, which is quite good." , can be used as an experimental product for studying corpse explosion."
Thinking of the frightening experiment of the legendary Necromancer, Shi Ke climbed up to Athena in three trembling steps and two steps: "Master Athena, I will tell you everything! Please, for the sake of the Cypher family!" Come on, don't hand me over to this Lord Necromancer as an experiment!"
Athena showed disgust, Chen Rui stepped forward, stood in front of Athena, and shouted: "Hurry up! What is the truth about the disappearance of the townspeople and Ximan?"
Shi Ke lowered his head, his eyes rolled around, obviously thinking about it, Guladam's cold voice sounded: "It can be seen that this fat pig is a stubborn type, don't ask, I will pull out his The soul will naturally know the answer."
Who is the die hard type? When Shi Ke heard about the extraction of the soul, he was so scared that he almost peed in his crotch. How could he dare to be perfunctory, so he said it immediately.
It turned out that Shi Ke, relying on his background of the Saifo family, as the mayor of the town, has been collaborating with the captain of the defense, Seaman, and ruled Yankou Town with bloody and violent means. In this remote place, he is like a local emperor.
One day a few years ago, several townspeople accidentally discovered a green spar mine in the middle of Rock Mountain in the west. Shi Ke identified it as a rare magic material, jade ice crystal. In order to monopolize this huge wealth, Shi Ke not only did not report this matter to Darkmoon City, but blocked the news and killed the first person who discovered the ore.
However, this matter was discovered by the defense captain Seaman. Shi Ke also knew that the wealth was huge and he couldn't afford it alone, so he simply asked Laximan to join the group and the two shared it together. Many townspeople who committed small mistakes, or even no crimes at all, were detained and controlled by Seaman under various pretexts, and forced to go to Rock Mountain to mine ore by cruel means, and sold them to Blue Melt and Red Nether through various channels. territory. In the past few years, I don't know how many lives have been killed. Every piece of emerald ice crystal ore transported out, and every black crystal coin in the pockets of the two are covered with blood and wailing.
In order to cover up the black mine in Rock Mountain, the two also fabricated an excuse that there were undead creatures in Rock Mountain, spreading rumors and making it a "ghost land" that no one dared to approach.
Unexpectedly, they finally met a tiger when they went up to Deshan. They didn't expect that a powerful undead really appeared in Rock Mountain, which meant that they cut off the two people's long-term source of income, and they were at a loss for a while.
At this time, Athena just took over as the magistrate and vigorously rectified the defense force. The defense captain Seaman was asked to return to Darkmoon City to serve. Ximan secretly thought that after returning, the Jade Ice Crystal Mine might be monopolized by Shi Ke in the future, so he immediately asked for a huge sum of money as compensation. First, Shi Ke was unwilling to pay the huge sum of money, and secondly, because he was afraid that Seaman would repeatedly blackmail or reveal the matter directly, he simply poisoned Seaman to death, pretended to be missing, and pushed all the blame to the undead On the mysterious event that the creature appeared.
Shi Ke still couldn't let go of the Emerald Ice Crystal Mine in Mount Rock. He sent people there several times but couldn't eliminate the undead creatures. Then he reported to Dark Moon City, intending to use the power of Dark Moon City to eliminate the undead creatures so that he could control the treasure again. mine.
"Boom!" Athena couldn't help being angry after hearing the truth of the matter, she slapped the black stone table with her palm, and the solid stone table suddenly shattered, making Shi Ke tremble with fear.
"Lord Athena, since he told the truth, he doesn't need to be an experimental product of corpse explosion." Chen Rui walked in front of Guladam, glanced at Shi Ke who was amnesty, and suddenly showed a strange smile: "However, Lord Guladam, don't you think the most suitable experiment for this fat pig is a rotting zombie?"
Guladam nodded, and laughed sinisterly, his eyes were red, and Shi Ke screamed in fright when he heard the word rotten zombie, and passed out simply.
