Yu Bin, who returned to the undead clan, did not rush back to Naxxramas as soon as possible, but came to the royal city of Diar, the capital of the Dia Empire, through the teleportation array.

Unlike the capitals of other races, the capital of the undead is not popular with undead players, and few undead players enjoy activities in a megacity like Diar.

On the one hand, the reason for this is that this kind of super-large city is huge, and the various functional areas are not only far apart, but also oriented to high-end groups, and it is difficult for ordinary players to find something suitable for themselves in it, similar to the Champs-Elysées in Paris where you can't find a beef ramen shop. On the other hand, because of the special situation of the undead race, unlike other races, the undead who rely on the soul fire to exist care more about the essence of the soul than the hypocritical appearance, therefore, the undead NPCs are not as pleasant to the player as humans are, and the player is obviously not willing to ask for trouble and stick a hot face to a cold ass.

To the north of the royal city is the royal palace, which is much taller than any other building, occupying almost two-fifths of the royal city's area, and to the right of the royal palace is the residence of the high-ranking nobles of the Dia Empire.

Compared to humans, who rely on blood and bloodline to determine the inheritance of nobles, the so-called nobility of the undead is more like a hybrid of interests and strength, and it is impossible for the corpse witches to sit and talk with stupid zombies, and the black knights are not willing to exchange combat skills with the ghosts who wander around all day.

Walking to the door of an inconspicuous villa, two huge obsidian statues guarded the entrance, these were two heroic gargoyles, Yu Bin could clearly feel their strength through the soul fire.

"I'm Ice Whisper Dry Bone, and I'm asking to see Speaker Andrew!" Yu Bin didn't feel that it was a loss of identity to salute the two statues, and the most important thing in the undead clan was to be clear when he had to be a grandson.

The obsidian gargoyle's eyes rolled, glanced at a bone token in Yu Bin's hand, and moved out of the way.

Walking through the garden decorated with ghost grass and soul flowers, Yu Bin pushed open the small door on the side of the villa, and a ghost was waiting for him behind the door.

"The master just has time, you better not make the master wait too long!" The ghost butler said as he led Yu Bin towards the study on the second floor of the villa, the dim magic torches made the passage in the villa look like an entrance to hell, as if in the darkness not far away, there would be a huge mouth waiting to devour any stranger who broke into this place at any time.

Opening the door of the study, the ghost butler stood respectfully on the side of the door and motioned for Yu Bin to go in by himself: "The master is inside!" ”

Yu Bin nodded at the ghost butler, although he had been here several times, this ghost had always had such an attitude.

The study was filled with shelves full of books, all kinds of exquisite scrolls and translations were arranged in a mess, and the huge magic chandelier filled the whole study with bright light, making the whole study not much inferior to the magnificent auditoriums of mankind.

Andrew sat in a round-rimmed chair with a few books on the low desk at hand, seemingly killing time in this way.

"Every time we meet, you surprise me!" Raising his head and looking at Yu Bin, a smile appeared on Andrew's handsome face, "Congratulations, little guy, it looks like you have successfully stepped into the fourth order, do you have any feelings?" ”

"I'm flattered if my evolution from a humble reptile to a fragile moth deserves your congratulations!" Yu Bin replied respectfully, "Greetings, Your Excellency Speaker Andrew, may your midnight be as peaceful as death!" ”

Andrew smiled and narrowed his eyes, it seemed that the Speaker preferred to observe people through his eyes rather than soul fire: "That's why I like to talk to you, you're different from the other newborn undead, always holding the utmost humility. Tell me, what do you want me to do today? You know, little one, we have a good relationship, but that's not a reason for you to squander my kindness! ”

"Of course! I understand this very well! Yu Bin didn't talk nonsense, took out two things from his backpack and put them on the low desk.

Andrew put down the book in his hand, picked up one of the pieces of purple ooze like plasticine, pinched it in his hand and looked at it: "Essence of the Magic Pool? ”

"Your knowledge terrifies me!"

"I'm more curious about where did you get this?" Andrew pinched the purple ooze with three fingers and looked at Yu Bin thoughtfully.

"The other day, I participated in the Death Challenge!" Yu Bin spread his hands.

Andrew nodded: "I can see that you seem to have changed a lot, and simple advancement has no such effect." ”

The soul fire no longer exists in Yu Bin, who has been replaced by an immortal, and the soul flame burning in his eyes now is just a disguise, just to avoid some trouble.

"As you can see, I ran into some tricky guys in the Death Challenge and came out victorious, and the two gadgets you saw were my trophies." Yu Bin said.

"Tricky guys? You're not going to tell me you're on a death challenge in the Abyss, are you? Since the last Tree of Roots withered more than 83,000 years ago, the entire world has only the Bottomless Abyss that can produce these things in small quantities, and like the size of this magic pool essence in my hand, even in the bottomless abyss, it is not something that ordinary chaotic demons can have, have you robbed the warehouse of a demon lord? ”

Yu Bin replied with a smile: "Actually, I defeated a rather special demon, he is the illegitimate son of the demon lord Demogogen. ”

Andrew took his eyes off the essence of the magic pool in his hand and stared at Yu Bin deadly.

"Modo Dixi, a Tanari demon." Yu Bin shrugged, "What you have in your hand is the collateral he paid to participate in the death challenge. ”

"You beat him?"

"Someone defeated him, and you know, the last thing missing from the death challenge is the illegitimate children of various goddesses of luck." Yu Bin didn't dare to take credit for it.

Andrew took his eyes off Yu Bin and looked at the essence of the magic pool in his hand again: "So, do you know the value of this thing?" ”

Obviously, Yu Bin didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come to Andrew.

"The Tree of Roots is the first plant in the world, they draw nutrients from the will of the nine roots, each Tree of Roots will digest and utilize the nutrients it absorbs, and the residues that cannot be digested are bound by the root system, and over time they will become the essence of the magic pool in front of you." Andrew briefly explained the origin of this thing, although Yu Bin didn't hear anything important from it, "I forgot, you newborn souls are not like us old guys, although the will to die allowed you to be reborn, but it did not give you enough time to accumulate knowledge. ”

"We are not yet on the path of true death!"

Andrew nodded and continued: "To put it simply, the Magic Pool Essence can be used to make you feel the root power, for any existence that has surpassed the limit and stepped into the hero realm, this kind of thing is an unattainable treasure, especially such a large piece of the Magic Pool Essence, you really picked up a big trouble." ”

Yes, it is indeed a big trouble, and Yu Bin thinks so too.

is the so-called guilt, especially in the undead clan, if people know that Yu Bin has such a thing in his hands, those hero-level, legendary-level, and even legendary-level existences who have been unable to go further will probably stretch out their claws to him.

Perhaps seeing Yu Bin's concern, Andrew said with a smile: "I'm glad you made the choice, and I can also give you two choices, you can store this piece of Magic Pool Essence with me, and when you need it, you can come and retrieve it at any time, of course, before you hit the legend, I don't recommend you to use it." ”

"And what about the other option?" Impact Legend is too far away for Yu Bin, Yu Bin doesn't think that he can guarantee to reach this level in this life before the game and reality merge, and there is no difference between the props that are not used and those who do not have this prop.

"What an anxious little fellow! Well, the other option is that I can channel the power in this magic pool essence, and as long as it is almost half, you can instantly cross the mortal realm and touch the threshold of heroes. Andrew's eyes flashed with temptation, and he looked into Yu Bin's eyes and said.

Yu Bin didn't ask where the other half of the power went, Andrew could let Yu Bin enjoy half of the benefits, which was already quite kind, but this was the undead clan!

The temptation of reaching the seventh-order cap in an instant made Yu Bin almost want to agree immediately, thinking that any player would make this decision.

"Before I make this choice, I wonder if I can learn about the origin of another thing?" Yu Bin used great perseverance to stop his urge to agree to Andrew immediately, pointed to a bead with a blue soul flame on the low desk, and asked.

"A soul bead condensed by a soul flame is simply the difference between the sand on the side of the road and the silver moon in the sky compared to the essence of the magic pool." Andrew sneered and twisted the soul bead and threw it to Yu Bin, "If I'm not mistaken, the soul flame in this soul bead is split from a newborn soul, pure enough, you can use it to increase your soul power." ”

"How do I use it?"

"Just swallow it!" Andrew said angrily, "Okay, make a choice, little one, I don't have the patience to mess around with you!" ”

Yu Bin put away the soul bead, looked directly into Andrew's eyes, and said after a long while: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency Speaker Andrew, but I still decided not to choose either." ”

"Oh, do you want to take this piece of Demon Pool Essence back?" Andrew was a little surprised and said, "You don't think you can keep this treasure in your own hands by your own strength, do you?" ”

"I'm not so self-conscious, Speaker Andrew!"

"Well, you newborn souls always have all sorts of ideas, and although I don't agree with them, I respect your free will!" Andrew handed the essence of the magic pool in his hand to Yu Bin.

But Yu Bin did not take the essence of the magic pool, but took a step back.

Andrew looked at Yu Bin with a puzzled expression.

"As you said, I don't have enough strength to protect this treasure, I think you are more suitable to have it!"

"You're going to give it to me? Hahaha, little one, you're so much fun! Andrew laughed suddenly, "Your self-knowledge is enough to make you grow, but you'd better put away those dark thoughts, although the essence of the magic pool is a rare treasure in the world, but as the speaker of the Death Council, there is no need for me to violate my own rules for such a thing, don't confuse me with those lowly guys." ”

In the end, Andrew's tone was already a little angry, obviously feeling that Yu Bin's actions had hurt his self-esteem.

"I beg your pardon if you are offended, Your Excellency the Speaker!" Yu Bin saluted, but did not take back the essence of the magic pool.

"Then why are you unwilling to accept the two choices I have given you? Or do you think I take half of it as a payoff? Andrew said coldly.

Yu Bin shook his head: "Even you can't ignore the laws of this world, break through the limitations of the roots, and make me a hero directly." ”

"In that case, why did you refuse?"

"Strength is like wine, intoxicating to it! But the search for power is not an end, but a means! Abandoning the true end for the sake of the means, such a self cannot be recognized by the root forces and step into the noble and noble heroic realm. Yu Bin said slowly, "I admit that the choice you provided made me very tempted, and even shook my belief for a while, but in the end, I still think that only the fruits obtained by my own hands are truly my own harvest!" ”

Bang Bang Bang! Andrew couldn't help clapping his hands: "Not bad, very good!" Little guy, you're really nice! It's been so many years since I've seen a soul as good as you! ”

"You're overrated!"

"No, I mean really! The current undead have long forgotten their original purpose, blindly pursuing strong power, as everyone knows, power is just a prop for us to the truth, compared to other races that can walk on two legs of body and spirit, our undead have only the one-way path of soul fire from the beginning, there is no other choice, the difficulties and obstacles, not really walking on it, will not understand! Andrew said, pointing at Yu Bin, "And now, you have embarked on this right path!" ”

"Thank you for your teachings!"

"I hope you can keep going unswervingly and go further and further!" Andrew stood up and gave Yu Bin a simple chest salute, "May the tranquility of death always accompany you on your path!" ”

"May the will of death follow you in your path!" Yu Bin returned a chest stroking gift.

After Andrew sat down, he finally resumed his initial relaxed tone: "So, little one, tell me what you want from me!" I don't think you will give me such a piece of magic pool essence for nothing. ”

"It depends on what you can give!" Yu Bin was not polite, for the undead, politeness was the most unnecessary.

"Very well, let's do fair trade like a real undead!" Andrew was not angry because of Yu Bin's words, although the undead are terrible and like to rely on strength to plunder the lives of others, but when an undead thinks that you and him are equal, the undead will definitely abide by the principle of fair trade.
