Chapter 323: Choice (I)
Under the arrangement of Edwin Van Cleef, Zhang Cheng was given a modest house in the Death Mine.
Even though it was just a wooden house made of dry formwork, it was enough for him, who was constantly being eroded by evil.
Without any hesitation, it took him less than an afternoon to concoct thirty bottles of primary healing potions, proving his worth to the Brotherhood of Defia.
You must know that the person who has mastered alchemy has always been an important reserve talent of various countries and forces, and it is by no means a thief or soldier who can be casually taken out as a consumable sacrifice, so most of the suspicion about spies has disappeared, and the rest is a routine to send people to keep an eye on it for a few months.
However, Zhang Cheng obviously didn't care about the two masked men guarding outside the house twenty-four hours a day, all he was thinking about was how to control the spreading demonization, and devoted himself to studying and studying evil energy and shadow energy, frantically absorbing and digesting all the knowledge and power related to warlocks.
Under his crazy and cruel torture, Okaré finally confided the truth.
It turns out that the evil energy that invades the body is not only evil energy, but also contains a mutilated demon soul, although this demon's soul is still asleep due to its heavy injuries, it is still enough to cause a terrible effect on the mortal body.
The original purpose of the orc warlock was to first transform Zhang Cheng into a demonic form, and then use the technique of enslaving demons to turn him into his own slave.
But what he never expected was that Zhang Cheng was not the kind of fledgling young mage, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he decisively gave up some magic circuits, quickly built the magic circuits needed by the warlock to cast spells, and directly extracted his soul at the moment he just left the seal.
"I see...... Is there a demonic soul living in my body......" Zhang Cheng, who learned the truth, narrowed his eyes and muttered quietly.
Obviously, there are two options before him at this moment.
One is to completely abandon the warlock power that was exchanged for flame-based spells, and extract the evil energy in the body along with the demonic soul.
The advantage of this is that there is no danger, and with the departure of the evil energy and demon spirits, his mutated body will return to normal, but the downside is that he can only cast frost and arcane magic in the future.
As for the other option, it is nothing more than to retain the power of the warlock and enter into a symbiotic relationship with the demon's soul.
In this way, not only can you gain far more power than ordinary warlocks, but you can also use evil fire spells to make up for your losses.
On top of that, the demon's soul is inherently a constant source of energy, and even though it can only provide two types of energy, evil energy and shadow, it is still a good hole card.
The only trouble that needs to be solved is that the sleeping demon soul will always wake up one day, and it will inevitably find ways to lure him to his depravity, or even secretly try to fight for the dominance of the body. In addition, the demonization of the body is also a troublesome matter, and at most it can only be limited to a certain part, and there is no way to eradicate it at all.
Just when Zhang Cheng frowned and weighed the gains and losses, a petite figure appeared near the window at some point, revealing half of his head and staring at the room with wide eyes, his eyes were both a little curious and a little scared.
"Vanessa, is that you?" asked Zhang Cheng without looking back.
As an idler who had lived in the Death Mine for two weeks, it was impossible for him not to know Edwin Van Cleef's "famous" daughter.
In fact, the little creature spends most of her time in a semi-free-range state, and as long as she doesn't get close to the surface exit, she can go wherever she wants, and occasionally learns the tricks of stealth, sneak attack, and poison from the thieves of the Brotherhood.
However, since Zhang Cheng came, the girl's attention was firmly attracted, especially the wonderful alchemy and magic, which fascinated her deeply.
"Daddy asked me to inform you that you will remember to go to the boat for a meeting after lunch!" Vanessa nodded her little head.
"Oh, I see. Zhang Cheng agreed without thinking.
As one of the few spellcasters and alchemists of the Brotherhood of Phidia, he may have only been a member for a short time, but he also gained the right to participate in decision-making meetings, but most of the time he didn't express any opinions at all.
"What are you doing?" Vanessa, who received the reply, asked instead of leaving, crawling in through the window, with a curious expression.
Looking at this little bit of ghostly cleverness, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "No, it's nothing, I'm making a difficult choice." By the way, aren't you afraid of my looks?"
You must know that when I first foresaw Vanessa, the other party was directly frightened by his half-demon appearance and cried, who would have thought that within a few days, there was a very subtle connection between the two.
"Hmph! I ...... I'm not afraid!" the girl raised her chin with a proud face.
"Hehe, well, you weren't scared, but you cried when you saw my handsome appearance, right?" Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and laughed.
"Phew, you're shameless!worthy of a warlock who deals with demons!" Vanessa grimaced mischievously.
After a few days of getting along, she has gradually learned that the scary-looking young uncle in front of her is not as terrible as she imagined at the beginning, but a very humorous person, and there are many interesting and interesting things in his hands.
"Hahahaha! Thank you for the compliment, Miss Van Cleve. If you don't mind, can you please stay away for a moment? I'm going to do a dangerous experiment, and I don't want you to get hurt accidentally. With that, Zhang Cheng handed a bottle of silver-white potion on the shelf to the other party.
"Hah! no problem! don't forget to go to the meeting!" Vanessa jumped to her feet and snatched the potion, and disappeared into the dim end of the mine.
Looking at her carefree back, Zhang Cheng sighed slightly, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "What a girl with a tragic and bumpy fate, just enjoy it a little more while you can still enjoy the happiness now, it won't be long before everything you have will come to naught, and finally be devoured by a monster called hatred......"
sighed and sighed, but he had no intention of interfering in the fate of Van Cleef's father and daughter.
After a short rest, and a fairly hearty afternoon, he quickly drew intricate patterns on the empty living room floor of the wooden house.
This time, he didn't draw arcane runes, but demonic runes that exuded a strong evil aura.
Obviously, Zhang Cheng intends to try to summon a demon, and whether he can succeed or not depends on luck.
After all, summoning demons in reality is not like in a game, where you only need to complete a series of tasks and then pay for a soul shard.
The ritual of truly summoning demons is extremely dangerous and complicated, and the strength of the summoned demons is also different for different quality soul fragments......
