Paglio snorted coldly, "The strong are respected. I will spare your lives. As the price, you will become my servant. There is nothing to talk about such a simple thing."
Chen Rui shook his head calmly, "Our fates are already connected. If you kill us, it is equivalent to forcing yourself into a desperate situation. So, between us, it is an equal relationship of transaction and cooperation. There can be no distinction of master and servant. We are bound together for good or bad. "
Paglio said disapprovingly, "I only know that your little lives are in my hands. It is already a great kindness to give you a way out. If you dare to be verbose again, Sir Paglio will eat you all now!"
Chen Rui stared at Paglio for a while, and his voice suddenly rose and fell, "What joy is there in life? What is there to fear about death?! Since I accidentally fell into the Demon Realm, I have already gone all out. Although I am a weak human, I am also a real man. I will never give up my remaining dignity to survive! "
Athena's eyes suddenly lit up. The more the life and death situation, the more she could see a person's quality. The thin back of the human seemed to become tall. This is true courage! If it were Allen or Joseph of the Alvin Family, they would have been scared to the point that their legs were soft.
In Paglio's view, this human was clearly putting on a rogue attitude – I am unlucky to fall into the Demon Realm. I may die at any time. Anyway, I have a rotten life. I will spend it with you today.
Chen Rui had the experience of opening an online store. There were some people on the Internet who gave the worst evaluation of the online store to achieve the purpose of extortion. They were called professional bad evaluators. The seller, especially the seller of the new store, was a vulnerable group in this situation. Chen Rui had encountered several such guys. After dealing with them, he lost money and gained a lot of knowledge.
He knew that Paglio was now afraid of both sides, and he wanted to use him to get out of trouble. Therefore, he deliberately put on a posture of being unafraid of getting wet to reverse his weak position. If he hadn't seen the situation clearly, even if Chen Rui had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't have dared to risk his life.
Sure enough, the poison dragon didn't attack. Instead, he frowned. Chen Rui took the opportunity to add, "I, Chen Rui, swear by the dignity of the humans in this world that I really want to help the poison dragon Paglio remove the seal. If you disobey, your body will be crushed and your soul will dissipate. "
Hearing such a heavy oath, Paglio was surprised. He didn't know that the title in the first sentence was exaggerated. Chen Rui wasn't a human of this world. To put it bluntly, he was just blackmailing people, no, blackmailing dragons.
"Paglio, I'm willing to help you remove the seal, but not only do I want to live, but I also hope to get your friendship and help. In order to show my sincerity, I can tell you the biggest secret of my immunity to poison."
If the previous negotiation was like giving a sweet date after hitting a stick, then it was like giving medicine after the sweet date.
The poison dragon stared at Chen Rui for a moment, and he finally nodded, "Human, your eloquence is far better than your strength. If you can really show your sincerity, Paglio can consider signing an equal contract with you. "
Seeing Chen Rui suddenly jump from an absolute disadvantage to an equal position, Athena had an incredible feeling. This is facing a giant dragon!
Both wisdom and courage are the only commendatory words she can think of to describe this human. Chen Rui didn't know that he had unintentionally established a high image in Athena's heart. His favorability was enough to overlook General Allen at the city gate.
Chen Rui's "sincerity" was nothing more than repeating the story of the grand master and the primordial world. He adjusted some small details, and the structure was more mature than the temporary patchwork. The poison dragon was obviously more difficult to fool than Aldas. He kept silent, but Athena was fascinated by it.
In order to further gain the trust of the poison dragon, Chen Rui contributed a set of novel gadgets.
He drew three vertical and three horizontal lines on the mud, a total of 33 squares. Except for the center, he pressed a hole in each grid, then he picked up some stones and put them in the holes as chess pieces.
The poison dragon looked at this thing in surprise. He thought that he had never seen such a thing in thousands of years of experience. Chen Rui used the grand master's alchemy deduction tool as a guise to explain the game of Solitaire.
The game was said to be invented by an aristocrat who was imprisoned in the Bastille before the French Revolution. It soon became popular everywhere. The gameplay was similar to checkers. It was played by one person. The pieces that were skipped would be removed from the chessboard. As the game continued, the fewer the steps, the better the remaining chess pieces. According to the number and position of the remaining chess pieces, it was divided into 6 levels. The highest was the grand master level that Chen Rui defined.
Solitaire, Huarong Dao and Rubik's Cube were known as the three incredible miracles in the intelligence game industry. Athena wasn't very interested in this kind of nerve-racking game, but the rather scheming poison dragon was different. He immediately became interested. If it weren't for the equal contract, he couldn't wait to try it.
"I don't want the next words to be heard by a third person. Woman, don't try to do stupid things like escaping." The poison dragon glanced at Athena. Chen Rui winked at Athena, and Athena nodded. She came to Alice and Kia and sat down.
The poison dragon cast a sound insulation method, then he asked sternly, "I, the poison dragon, Paglio. Sandro Achilles. Human, tell me your name. "
From Paglio solemnly saying the full name, his attitude had changed greatly. In fact, the poison dragon was also in a dilemma. These people weren't easy to kill, but he couldn't let them go either. If the human really has a mysterious and powerful inheritance, he might be able to lift the seal.
"My name is Chen Rui." Chen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, he truly completed this difficult public relations task.
"Chen Rui, you have successfully won the trust of Paglio," said the poison dragon. "There are some things that I can only tell you after we complete the equal contract. I have thought it through. I want to sign a symbiotic contract with you. In other words, our lives are connected. If you abandon my friendship and trust one day, then your own life will be lost. "
The suggestion of symbiotic contract was beyond Chen Rui's expectation. His mind turned quickly, then he shook his head and said, "I don't have the ambition to be a dragon slayer, but since it is a symbiotic contract, if I have an accident or die of old age, will you die too?"
"An important feature of the symbiotic contract is sharing life." Paglio explained, "Dragons have extremely low fertility, but their lifespan is very long. Some can reach hundreds of thousands of years. I am now 14,000 years old, which is equivalent to the young adult of you humans. After you sign a symbiotic contract with me, you will share my life, so there is no problem of dying of old age for the time being. In addition to this, your physique can also get certain benefits in some aspects. "
Sharing life! Chen Rui was shocked all of a sudden. In the history of China, there were countless emperors and nobles who racked their brains to prolong their lives and live forever, but none of them succeeded. Yet, he could actually get tens of thousands of years of precious life so easily!
Even the royal family of the Demon Realm, if there was no accident, the general lifespan was only one or two thousand years. Ordinary Demons lived for hundreds of years. As for the humans in this world, their lifespan was even shorter. Unless they reached a certain level of powerhouse, otherwise, it was simply incomparable.
"If it is an accidental death, then there is no other way. Just like what you said at the beginning, we are bound together for good or bad." Paglio shook his head. "No matter which one of us encounters an accidental death, the other party will not be able to avoid it. To tell you the truth, my power is damaged, so I can only sign a contract with one person. In order to keep the ancient runes a secret, I originally wanted to kill you and let the female scythe demon be my servant. However, your wisdom and potential made me change my mind. It can also be said that your trick succeeded. "
That was close! Chen Rui wiped his sweat. It turned out that he was really close to death just now.
This was the safest approach for the poison dragon. Their lives were already connected together. Benefits and risks coexisted, so Chen Rui couldn't ignore the problem of the seal. Letting the poison dragon live better was also a guarantee for his longevity.
"I need to remind you that you are risking more than me. As a weak human, I will encounter quite a lot of dangers in the Demon Realm. "Chen Rui thought for a moment and said," If you have already understood this and still insist on signing a symbiotic contract, I agree. "
The poison dragon nodded and showed a meaningful smile, "Then let's believe in the power of the god-level grand master's inheritance for the time being."
Chen Rui also smiled. YY was just YY. It was impossible to be like what was described in some novels where the protagonist was intelligent while the rest of the people were retarded. Those who treated others as fools were the biggest fools themselves.
Although he didn't know how much Paglio believed in the mysterious story, it was certain that this powerful poison dragon had become his first real ally since his rebirth.
The feeling of signing a contract was very wonderful. It was like signing a contract with the other party spiritually, but this contract was automatically effective and supervised by some mysterious "rule". Unless one reached the god-level, one could not reverse or change the power of the rule.
Chen Rui, who successfully signed the symbiotic contract, clearly felt a strange change in his body as if his energy had been greatly expanded. Paglio didn't show any signs of weakness.
"Chen Rui, now you and I are symbiotic partners. The connection is closer than brothers." After Paglio signed the contract, he stopped being polite. "I have to figure out one thing first. Is the female scythe demon your woman? That woman is a great demon with a mutated bloodline. She has great potential and is likely to reach the level of Demon King in the future. "
"No, we're not even friends, but I can't offend her." Chen Rui shook his head. Athena was a beauty, but this joke couldn't be made. The tragedy of the burr puzzle was right there.
The poison dragon showed a meaningful smile, "Then I suggest you get her. The female Great Demon is the most loyal woman among the Demons. As long as you can really get her body and mind, she will follow you loyally and will never betray you. Unless you die, she will never like a second man. If not, our secret can't be guaranteed. "
Chen Rui just knew that Athena's race actually had such a characteristic, but the difficulty of this mission was too high.
