"I have to admit that the story you made up is very tempting, but it's not enough to convince me." Guradam thought for a while and sneered, "If you said that you saw these two ancient magics from a lost ancient book, I would still believe it a little. The inheritance of the ancient grand master … don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"In my opinion, just kill him directly. Why are you talking to this ignorant skeleton?" Paglio interjected disdainfully.
"Be patient, my partner." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "I just want to find a candidate to recreate the glory of the ancient undead magic. Give him the final time to choose."
Partner? Paglio's attitude and Chen Rui's address made Guradam secretly shocked. This guy is actually 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 Dragons, the ancient grand master thing doesn't seem to be a lie …
"Do you remember how your life box was damaged?" Chen Rui wanted to add fuel to the fire. He took out a bottle of black potion and uncorked the bottle. "Or do you know what potion the Fountain of Resurrection is used to make?"
The breath emitted by the black potion made Guradam shudder. Yes, it is this terrifying potion. At that time, my soul essence was severely damaged with an unimaginable effect! Wait, that was the Fountain of Resurrection just now, then …
"Resurrection Potion!" Guradam was shocked and blurted out.
He finally confirmed his long-standing suspicion. What kind of poison can cause that kind of damage to the soul essence in the life box? It's actually the black potion that has been lost for 7,000 years … No, including the 2,000 years in the Silent Night Wetland, it should be nearly 10,000 years!
Not only that, even the famous potion grand master Rosenbach from more than 9,000 years ago was said to stop at the Eternal Potion. Now, this enemy actually has the Resurrection Potion that represents the highest achievement of pharmaceutics!
Other than the inheritance of the ancient grand master, the corpse necromancer couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
Once this guy announces his pharmaceutics achievement, he will definitely shock the entire Demon Realm and become the most popular grand master.
It was just that Guradam didn't know that Chen Rui's other identity as a trio-specialized mechanic master had already shocked the entire Demon Realm.
Guradam's gaze toward Chen Rui changed a little. The first potion grand master of the Demon Realm in 10,000 years, and he got the inheritance of the ancient grand master … No wonder even such powerful Dragons recognize him as a partner. In that case, the system of ancient necromancy magic … was real? In that case … Reviving the glory of ancient undead magic was not a lie!
Guradam felt a burst of heat in his heart. His previous determination to die had already been reduced by more than half. If he can inherit the ancient undead magic system and carry it forward, then he will truly become the top undead magic person since ancient times!
After a moment of silence, Guradam finally made a choice. Now that he had been forced into a dead end, even if he self-detonated, he wouldn't be able to perish together with his enemies. He could only die a worthless death. Moreover, the Ancient Undead Magic System was too tempting. He couldn't help but be tempted.
"Powerful Dragons, I can sign a contract with you." Guradam groaned, "It's not a master-servant contract, but an equality contract. According to that guy, we can be in a cooperative relationship. "
"In your dreams!" Paglio snorted coldly and revealed his murderous intent, "Skeleton, in the current situation, you are not qualified to mention the word 'equality'! If it weren't for my partner, I would have destroyed you long ago. This Lord hates stubborn fellows the most. Since you're so insistent, then … "
As soon as he finished speaking, the power in the poison dragon's territory suddenly doubled. The oppressive force made the corpse necromancer's defense circle smaller and smaller. In fact, Paglio was also a cunning guy. He understood that Chen Rui had other plans. This tough attitude was just to cooperate with Chen Rui.
If it was the previous corpse necromancer, he would probably detonate his phylactery under the determination to die with honor. But now, under the coercion and temptation of Chen Rui and Paglio, Guradam's desire to survive took over. It was difficult for him to return to his previous mentality of being determined to die. He hurriedly shouted, "Subordinate contract! This is my last bottom line. My life is longer than the Dragons. I can use endless time to study undead magic. I must not interrupt it because of some accident. "
The subordinate contract was a high-level contract, second only to the equality contract. It was equivalent to the restrictive relationship between the monarch and his subjects. If the two parties signed a contract, the subordinate Guradam had his own intentions. He generally obeyed orders and couldn't betray, but Paglio also couldn't control his life and death. Once Paglio died, the contract would be terminated. It wasn't like the master-servant contract where the master could control the servant's life and death. Moreover, when the master died, the servant would also die.
Paglio looked thoughtful. He looked at Chen Rui's eyes and replied, "Yes, but your contract partner is not me, but him."
"Him?" Guradam was taken aback. If I sign a subordinate contract with the powerful Dragons, I can still accept it in my heart. However, this guy in front of me is just a Great Demon King. By the way, he was only a Demon King last time …
Guradam suddenly remembered. Last time, this person hasn't reached the peak of Demon King yet. How did he reach Great Demon King so quickly? The time in between …
"Yes, it's me." Chen Rui knew the reason for Guradam's hesitation, "I'm the inheritor of the ancient grand master. Similarly, I'm the only one in the entire Demon Realm who knows the ancient undead magic system. In fact, this is good for you. My life is definitely not as long as the Dragons. Even if I die of old age, your contract time is only a few hundred years. "
Guradam thought quickly. The last sentence is right. If I sign a contract with the Dragons, then I will probably have to surrender for tens of thousands of years. However, signing a contract with this "Demons" will definitely take a much shorter time. Moreover, this person has the inheritance of the ancient grand master, so he is at least a potion grand master. His potential is quite terrifying. In just a few months, he has soared from Demon King to Great Demon King. He is likely to become a Demon Overlord powerhouse in the future, so it isn't a humiliation. Judging from the current passive situation on my side, signing a contract with this person is the perfect result.
In the end, Guradam made up his mind to sign a subordinate contract with Chen Rui. The poor corpse necromancer didn't know that he was tricked. Due to the symbiotic contract, under normal circumstances, the time of this subordination would be 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. He would think about the future in the future.
As a condition of signing the contract, the corpse necromancer proposed to turn Yankou Village into his own experimental base. This used to be an ancient battlefield with many powerful souls and bones. The terror knight with excellent swordsmanship that Chen Rui encountered was transformed from the bones of a rare powerhouse. There were originally two such top-level terror knights, but unfortunately, the one guarding the west altar was killed by Paglio.
Chen Rui hesitated for a while. He discussed with Athena for a while and agreed. Originally, Town Yankou was a remote town which was barren and backward. Moreover, Chen Rui and Jía had long had plans to rebuild the towns in the estate. Town Yankou was one of the objects that needed to be migrated in the plan. This request seemed difficult, but in fact, it was just going with the flow.
After the contract was signed, the spiritual link of the Super System added another item, the subordinate contract. This contract was somewhat similar to Samuel's Blood Oath of Light which could be interrupted and cancelled.
Since the subordination relationship was confirmed, Chen Rui didn't keep him guessing anymore. He said the skill system of the necromancer in Diablo 2 in his memory.
This used to be one of his favorite games, so he remembered the information very clearly. He also made appropriate modifications to some of the contents. For example, there were skeleton soldiers, zombies, ghosts, skeleton mages, terror knights, and so on in the summoning and transformation category. There was also the phantom dragon, the ultimate undead soldier in Heroes of Might and Magic (This had already appeared in Mountain Xilang anyway). As for the vampire, golem and so on, they were omitted due to some concerns.
Some things in the curse category overlapped with dark magic, so Chen Rui selectively added or subtracted a part. As for the white bone and poison category, the white bone armor, bone prison, poison explosion, and corpse explosion, he explained them in detail.
This complete magic system brought considerable inspiration to Guradam. Some of those magic and attack forms were incredible, but some could be achieved in a short time. Some could be further improved and innovated. The 2 red lights in the corpse necromancer's eyes shone brightly. The unwillingness in his heart because he was forced to sign the subordinate contract was immediately forgotten. He couldn't wait to start trying immediately. However, the most important thing now was to restore the soul essence in the life box first.
After the territory dissipated, the mist in the town gradually dissipated. The unconscious people gradually woke up and returned to normal.
However, some things still needed to be clarified.
In the mayor's mansion, Mayor Sheik was sitting on the ground, shivering. His clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
Opposite Sheik was a … skeleton in a robe. Its eyes emitted a gloomy red light, but its cold voice carried a bit of creepy joy, "This fresh body has a high fat content. It's quite good. It can be used as an experimental subject to study corpse explosion."
Sheik thought of the legendary terrible experiment of the undead magician. He trembled and crawled to the side of Athena, "Madam Athena, I'll tell you everything! Please, for the sake of the Saiful Family, don't hand me over to this sir undead magician as an experimental subject! "
Athena showed disgust. Chen Rui stepped forward and blocked in front of Athena. He shouted, "Hurry up! What is the truth about the disappearance of the townspeople and Hikari? "
Sheik lowered his head, and his eyes rolled. He was obviously thinking of an idea. Guradam's cold voice sounded, "I can see that this fat pig is a stubborn type. There's no need to ask. I will naturally know the answer when I extract his soul later."
Who is the stubborn type? When Sheik heard about extracting the soul, he was so scared that he almost peed in his pants. He didn't dare to be perfunctory, so he immediately said it.
It turned out that Sheik relied on the Saiful Family's background. As the mayor, he had been colluding with the defense captain, Hikari, to rule Town Yankou with bloody and violent means. He was like a local tyrant in this remote place.
One day a few years ago, several townspeople discovered a green crystal mine in the middle of Rock Mountain in the west. Sheik identified it as the rare magic material, jade ice crystal. After exploration, Rock Mountain contained a relatively rich jade ice crystal mineral deposit. In order to monopolize this huge wealth, Sheik not only did not report this matter to the Dark Moon City, but he blocked the news and killed the first people who discovered the ore.
However, this matter was still discovered by the defense captain, Hikari. Sheik also knew that this wealth was huge and he couldn't swallow it alone, so he simply pulled Hikari into the team and they shared it. Many townspeople who had committed minor mistakes or even no crimes at all were imprisoned and controlled by Hikari under various excuses. They were forced to go to Rock Mountain to mine ores by cruel means and sold to the Blue Lava Estate and Red Spirit Estate through various channels. Over the years, it was unknown how many lives were harmed. Every piece of jade ice crystal mine that was transported out and every black crystal coin in their pockets were stained with blood and wails.
In order to cover up the black mine of Rock Mountain, the two also fabricated an excuse that there were undead creatures in Rock Mountain and spread rumors, making it a "haunted place" that no one dared to approach.
Who knew that there would be a tiger after climbing the mountain. They didn't expect a powerful undead to really appear in Rock Mountain, which was equivalent to cutting off their long-term source of wealth. They were at a loss for a while.
At this time, it just so happened that Athena took over the sheriff and vigorously reorganized the defense army. The defense captain, Hikari, was asked to return to the Dark Moon City to work. Hikari secretly thought that once he returned, the jade ice crystal mine would probably be monopolized by Sheik in the future, so he immediately proposed a huge sum of money as compensation. Firstly, Sheik was unwilling to pay this huge sum of money. Secondly, he was also afraid that Hikari would repeatedly blackmail him or reveal this matter directly. So, he simply poisoned Hikari and killed him. He pretended to be missing and pushed all the blame to the mysterious event of the undead creatures.
Sheik couldn't let go of the jade ice crystal mine in Rock Mountain. He sent people there several times, but they couldn't eliminate the undead creatures. Then, he reported to the Dark Moon City, wanting to borrow the power of the Dark Moon City to eliminate the undead creatures so that he could control the treasure mine again.
"Bang!" After listening to the truth of the matter, Athena couldn't help but be angry. She slammed her palm on the black stone table, and the solid stone table suddenly shattered. Sheik trembled in fear as he watched.
"Madam Athena, since he told the truth, he doesn't need to be the experiment subject of [Corpse Explosion]." Chen Rui walked to Guradam and glanced at Sheik who was relieved. Suddenly, he showed a strange smile, "However, Sir Guradam, don't you think the most suitable experiment subject for this fat pig is the rotten zombie?"
Guradam nodded and smiled sinisterly. Red light flashed in his eyes. When Sheik heard the words' rotten zombie ', he screamed in fright and simply fainted.
