That face sent a chill down Salin's spine. Even though he was used to seeing monsters and was a Mage, Salin still could not accept that a humanoid creature was so ugly and disgusting.
This guy looked like a human, but his face was rotten. There were two holes where its nose should have been, with pieces of flesh that moved slightly as it breathed. As for its mouth, it simply had protruding teeth, sharp and pale in color. The rotten flesh on its face healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After that, it rotted again, wriggling there.
Abomination dragons and swamp zombies were a hundred times better looking than this monster.
Salin groaned in his heart. Goddess Myers, aren't you being too kind? This is clearly a pure-blooded Purgatory creature, and you're protecting it?
Not to mention Salin, even the two demons felt disgusted when they saw this guy. It was not that there were no ugly creatures in the Demonic Plane. They themselves were not very beautiful. But this monster was simply …
"Cough, Mr. Mage, may I ask, are you believers?" What Salin could not stand the most about this monster were its eyes. They were clear and pure, a stark contrast to its face. He spoke in Ancient Myers, and Salin could understand every word clearly.
The other party was polite, and Salin could not immediately start a fight. After all, the Goddess' Lorgar City was not a killing field. Many guards could be persuaded with words, and there was no need to risk their lives.
"We are not believers of any god." Although Salin said so, he intentionally released a trace of divine power hidden in his left hand.
"Hey, you've finally gotten the Goddess's favor. Mr. Mage, do you want to defeat me and subdue me? Or do you want me to let you out? "The monster asked a strange question.
"What's the difference?" Salin was patient, and he still cautiously kept his distance.
"Defeat me, and I can follow you like the stone soldiers. Let me let you out, and you can go straight to the center of the city, the Temple of Grace. "
"There's a temple here?" Salin was surprised. Although Lorgar City was a maze city built by the Goddess, he had never heard of a temple, because the Goddess did not send any priests here.
"We built it ourselves. The Goddess doesn't know."
Seeing Salin hesitate, the monster said, "Mr. Mage, I won't kill you. I'm different from the stone soldiers. I have wisdom. What's in it for me to kill you? "
Seeing that he was baiting him into a fight, Salin couldn't help but be wary. He asked, "May I know how to address you?"
"Ismail Augustus, I am a traveler from the Purgatory Plane, and I like to collect. Mr. Mage, I have a lot of good collections. " This fellow, who called himself Ismail, spoke in a courteous, brisk manner, and, if you closed your eyes, you might have thought him a genial scholar.
Salin felt a little nauseous. Purgatory Walker? Hoarding? So this is the guy who's best at creating Corpse Monsters and Evil Knights? In the monster illustration book of Myers Continent, the Purgatory Walker was very famous. In many magic notes, experienced Mages warned against attempting to summon this creature.
Salin thought to himself, "If I let you follow me, I'm afraid no one will dare to follow me in the future." The Purgatory Walker would cut a person's body and soul into pieces, haphazardly piecing them together to create a new life.
"What if I choose to leave?"
Ismail smiled, and the rotten flesh on his face almost fell off. He said happily, "The Goddess may not like me to kill you, but you have to leave one of your people behind. I've been starving for many years."
He said it in a relaxed manner, but the two Demons were greatly afraid. Salin obviously couldn't leave Sicar behind, let alone Neris. If he wanted to leave one person behind, he could only choose one of them.
Resist? If they could resist, they would have already escaped.
"I won't leave anyone behind." A bubble appeared in Salin's hand and floated in front of him. He said, "Unless, you can break this bubble."
Salin's original bubbles were used up, and this was a new Water Shield that he created, and he gave it the power of life.
Ismail looked at this translucent bubble, smiled, and said, "Mr. Mage, as a loyal believer of the Goddess, I can't break the divine power she left behind."
The two Demons were originally on edge, but after hearing Salin and Ismail's words, they were slightly relieved. Salin, this master, wasn't that bad, and wasn't as depraved as the other Myers people.
"Then let us pass."
No matter how powerful this Purgatory Walker was, Salin didn't want to keep it by his side. He might not be able to control this monster. Purgatory creatures were born with a master, and as long as the master came, Salin as the new master would be meaningless. Moreover, even if Ismail's master in the Purgatory Plane couldn't come, Salin didn't dare to take the risk.
This Purgatory Walker's level was much higher than his, and he couldn't control its actions. If the interest it collected that day suddenly exploded and killed everyone around Salin, then Salin would really want to cry. This was much more dangerous than demons.
The Purgatory Walker didn't collect equipment and materials, but the parts of all kinds of creatures. Don't be fooled by its rotten flesh, but it liked fresh parts.
"Mr. Mage, I'm a believer of the Goddess. Even if you don't trust me, you should at least trust the Goddess, right?" Ismail said patiently.
Salin thought to himself, the Holy Church is a bunch of bastards, and every one of them is probably ten thousand times worse than the God of Light. But he couldn't say that, after all, as a mage, he still had a certain degree of respect for the Goddess Myers.
"Also, after passing this stage, there are still a few more stages. Without my help, you definitely won't be able to reach the Blessed Shrine," Ismail revealed again.
"Didn't you say that I could be sent over?"
"If you leave someone for me, of course I'm willing to send you over. If you just leave like this, and you don't even leave me a person, how can I go against the Goddess' will and let you enter the shrine easily? "
Salin complained in his heart. If that was really the case, he had no choice but to accept him.
Nelis whispered in Salin's ear, and Salin nodded and said, "I can accept you, but you have to sign a contract with me."
Ismail laughed, and green mucus sprayed out of the holes on his face. This mucus fell on the ground and slowly solidified, like many gems.
"Give me the contract!"
"Wait here."
Salin took out a blank scroll. This blank scroll was a high-level blank scroll that Ainphent's parents gave him. He originally planned to make a forbidden spell scroll in the future, but now he had no choice but to use it on Ismail. This was because Salin felt that using a normal scroll to write a contract would not make this guy abide by it.
Because the difference in level was too big, it was difficult for Salin to control the entire Purgatory Walker. But his contract would naturally have a trap. As long as this Purgatory Walker triggered the trap, he would become a slave just like the three Monarchs.
Salin hurriedly finished writing the scroll, left his spiritual imprint, and threw it to Ismail. Ismail didn't even look at it. A string of divine characters flew out of his eyes and entered the scroll. The scroll instantly turned into flying ash. From his point of view, such a weak mage would not be able to do anything to him.
The two demons didn't know the whole story, but this idea was obviously Nelis's, so they didn't dare to oppose it. Sicar knew how Salin had deceived the three Undead Monarchs, so he was very relieved. After signing the contract, Salin said, "Your appearance is not very suitable to follow me. You have to change it."
Ismail's nose twitched in embarrassment and said, "Please."
Nelis grinned and leaned forward, casting the ultimate transformation spell on Ismail. This time, she didn't dare to do anything funny. After all, Ismail was stronger than her. Salin hadn't completely controlled him, so he only turned him into the image of a two-meter-tall, muscular man.
Ismail was originally wearing a black robe. Now, he looked a little like an adjudicator of the Vatican.
In order to dispel Ismail's wariness, Salin directly asked, "You said you collected a lot of things. Let me see."
"Yes, Lord Salin." Ismail directly threw out two things from his sleeve. Salin's eyelids twitched when he saw them. One of them was alright. It was a piece of armor that he had seen in the encyclopedia. It could be tied to the forearm, and was made of the rarest chaos crystal. This chaos crystal could not be used to amplify magic, but its strength surpassed any kind of metal. It was a very good piece of armor.
These two pieces of chaos crystal were carved into the shape of curved leaves. They were the standard armor of the Temple Guards under the Goddess of Nature. This armor could be used by Zola. Zola was good at fighting, but his skills were not suitable for using a heavy shield. This bracer could be used as a shield. If Zola was a believer of the Goddess, it could be even more useful.
Salin wasn't paying attention to this rare piece of armor. He saw something else and was secretly delighted.
It was a greenish-yellow gourd the size of a palm. It had not been processed at all, but Salin knew that it was a Fusion God. It was already a waste to use his Fusion God to make water. With the other gourd, he could make water puppets at level-seven.
"I know that Lord will be a little resistant to my little toys, so I won't take them out. These two are a gift from the Goddess. Please accept them, Lord," Ismail said politely.
Salin took the Chaos Bracer and Fusion God and nodded.
"You must know what the guardian of the next level is, right?"
Ismail said, "Lord, it's a Wyvern, only level-seven. It's not small, but it can be used as a coolie."
Salin could hear his arrogance. Although this Wyvern was a sub-dragon, a level-seven Wyvern could still kill level-eight magical beasts. He asked, "Then what's your level?"
"Yes, I was level-nine when my life wasn't exhausted. Now, I'm probably still level-eight, "Ismail answered seriously.
"Then I'll leave the Wyvern to you," Salin said with a smile.
