Coming out of the Walter Hotel, Hadley soon found himself in a shop that sold magic scrolls.

In front of the store, there are all kinds of paper related to magic items, such as memory crystal balls, gravity magic scrolls, fire-based pyrotechnics, light-based healing techniques, and wind-based flying wings......

Suddenly, Hadley stared at a piece of paper, a small smile on his face.

On the top of the paper, it is the Soul Contract Magic Scroll that is introduced. Although the price of the Soul Contract Scroll is not detailed, it is indicated that there are various levels of Soul Contract Scrolls for sale at this store.

Hadley raised his feet and walked into the store, only to see a middle-aged fat man lying on a recliner outside the counter, with half-squinted eyes, as if he hadn't noticed Hadley's arrival.

Hadley, of course, didn't believe that the other party hadn't noticed his arrival.

Being able to open a store in Finlay City is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Just like himself, although he also got a small shop through Yale, it was only in the civilian area, and he did not dare to be in a prosperous place like Finlay.

Because even if Yale can help him get a store, it will be coveted by many people. If someone else finds out his true identity and background, it is difficult to say what the other party will do.

Therefore, having a shop in the bustling area of Finlay City, and selling magic scrolls, is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. It's just that from the appearance of this person, I can't see his strength, and I can only guess from his body shape that the other party should belong to the category of magicians. After all, no warrior would be a fat man, unless the other party was a Sanctuary powerhouse.

Hadley doesn't mind this attitude either, after all, many of the people who visit the store are not necessarily real buyers. It's also possible to just look at the fresh.

Moreover, his current appearance is that he is a well-dressed young man. Like Hadley's current outfit, in Finlay City, but it is said that if you grab it on the street, it is a lot.

"Boss, how many gold coins do you have to control the soul scroll below level 7?" Hadley asked directly.

"Oh, young man, what level of demonic beast do you want to control?" The middle-aged fat man finally opened his eyes, sat up and asked.

"Huh? What, boss, what's wrong with this? Hadley didn't know what he meant by that.

"Haha, young man, I would like to kindly remind you that the strength of the demonic beast is too low, I suggest that you still don't cast the soul contract casually!" The middle-aged fat man said with a smile.

Hadley understood, the other party should be worried that he was a young master of a certain family, maybe he felt that he had a magical beast more majestic, so he also wanted to control a magical beast, so he came to buy a soul contract scroll.

However, the soul contract that humans can cast on Warcraft is not unlimited. Otherwise, on this continent, the powerful human beings would have been desperately trying to catch the demonic beasts for soul contract control, instead of forming any escort team and knight order.

Although there is no clear record of how many magical beasts a human can control by the soul at most, there are many books that record human control of magical beasts. Among them, someone specifically listed the ten most famous human beings, and the number of soul contract demonic beasts was also recorded in detail.

Hadley collected records of this.

First place: Wen Lites, the Holy Demon Guide of the Light Department, about 15,000 years ago, the soul controlled a fire phoenix in the holy realm, 7 ninth-level ice snakes, and 6 eighth-level silver armor rhinos. Later, his soul was damaged, he was in a state of madness, and was killed by a demonic beast controlled by his soul.

This is also the first and only one recorded in the history of the Magnolia Continent who was killed by a demonic beast controlled by his own soul.

As for whether there are any other people, there is no record, maybe there is, maybe there is not, or there is no famous one, so it is not recorded by the people of the time.

This is also the reason why Winrittus is ranked first.

Second place: Han Ganton, a level 9 great magic guide of the dark department, about 10,000 years ago, his soul controlled 2 level 9 demonic beasts and 37 level 6 demonic beasts. He died unexpectedly and was in the city at the time of his death. There were no aftermaths of the battle, and the surface of the body was intact. It is speculated that he may have died of a mental breakdown.

Third place: Qili Mans, a female level 9 great magician, about 12,000 years ago, 3 soul control level 8 magic beasts, 1 level 7 magic beast, and 13 level 6 magic beasts. Died in full view of the family gathering. Like Han Ganton, the surface of the body is intact. It is also speculated that he may have died of a mental breakdown.

Fourth place: Unknown level 9 Great Demon Guide, about 8,000 years ago, the soul controlled 28 level 6 flying magic beasts, and the cause of death was unknown. Just because he fell from the flying monster at that time, he was seen from a distance, and his body was smashed into bloody mud.

……

Tenth place: Gu Haiqila, the Wind Saint Wizard, about 6,000 years ago, the soul controlled a Sacred Domain Mighty Giant Ape, and then the Mighty Giant Ape died in war. Once again, the soul controlled a Sacred Land Black Bear, and soon after, the Earth Black Bear was killed in battle. The third time the soul controlled 2 level 9 wyverns, and soon after, Guhaiqira died in the middle of chasing a team of mercenaries. When it was discovered, only part of the body remained, and the rest of the body was eaten by demonic beasts, judging only by weapons and clothes. And was hunted down by the mercenary team, the strongest one, only level 7 warriors. Later speculation was that he may have died in an accident, as his weapons were not damaged. Later, it was statistically included in the list that Ning was dying of mental breakdown.

The main reason why Gu Haiqila, as a powerhouse of the Holy Domain, was only ranked tenth was that there were only 4 demonic beasts under his soul control before and after. And the first two demonic beasts died one after another.

At that time, when Hadley saw this record, he also had his own speculation.

Because Hadley remembered that in the original book, when Lin Lei first participated in the demon assessment, he met a person who was not weaker than the seven-star demon, named Ulnison, who was very powerful in soul and could refine 'soul leeches'.

But this is such a character, who later appeared with a group of subordinates, and among the less than 100 subordinates, only some of them called him 'master'. Others just call him an adult. His men are weaker than him. If it was really possible to control others without limiting the soul, Ulnison would have already controlled all the souls of all his subordinates, after all, no matter how loyal his subordinates were, they would not have obeyed the subordinates controlled by the soul.

Thinking of Mo Si of Miluo Island again, he seems to control the winners of the hundred victories, and he also has to be graded, and only the most potential and high strength will be controlled by his own soul.

From these two people alone, it can be determined that soul control is also limited, but what this limit is should be decided according to the controller's research on the soul. It shouldn't be based on the strength of the soul controller.

If it is based on strength, the main god will not accept the messenger of the main god, and directly control the Shura-level powerhouse with his soul. Because, even if it is a Dzogchen superior god, it is countless times weaker than the main god. But none of the Dzogchen is controlled by the human soul.

Thinking of the Great Perfection powerhouse who could make soul fragments, Dennington, said to Beirut that if he didn't try, he didn't dare to guarantee that he could ecstasy the elders of the Qinglong clan, the elders of the Qinglong clan, that is, the strength of the seven-star demons. And just ecstasy, not to mention soul control.

It is speculated that if Dennington encounters an elder who is good at soul in the Qinglong clan, he may fail to lose his soul, not to mention the soul control Shura-level powerhouse.

And the main god is extremely strong in terms of will and power, and once compared to the ability of the soul, it is a different matter. Just like Beirut is the main god, and he is still a god eater, but the soul fragment has to be made by Dennington for him.

Looking at the hell again, there are very few strong people who go to the soul to control a group of subordinates, and for countless billions of years, the soul controls the good and bad of others, which has long been thoroughly studied.

Thinking about it again, it is recorded in the history of the Magnolia Continent that those level 9 great magic guides or the powerhouses of the holy realm, no matter how strong their spiritual power or soul power is, they should not have reached the god level, so their research on the soul can imagine how weak it is.

With a clear understanding, Hadley certainly doesn't mess around.

Looking for the little leopard before, the main thing was to use the other party to hone his combat skills, so that his strength could reach level 9 combat power before the day of destruction. can help Lin Lei, at least you can sneak attack on the periphery and seriously injure or kill a level 9 powerhouse.

As for making the little leopard his helper, Hadley didn't have much hope in this regard. Because he knew that the more he went on, the little leopard would be less and less helpful to him, even if the little leopard became a holy realm demonic beast, it would not help him very much.

Because in the Holy Domain, the stronger the strength, the more you will comprehend the mysteries of the law. Without the strength of the Sacred Domain's limit, in the Sacred Domain, you can't walk sideways. Not to mention that there are god-level powerhouses in the Magnolia Continent.

Unless you encounter a super divine beast like Beibei, no matter how powerful the soul contract demonic beast is, it won't be of much help in terms of combat.

And Hadley was not prepared, and he wanted to accept a group of demonic beasts as his subordinates.

It's just that I need it at the moment, and the little leopard is just right. Therefore, Hadley's belief is to only accept what is suitable for him, not what is strong. Even if Beirut gave him a head snake, he wouldn't be able to use it, and one Shenwei might be shocked to death.

Since he guessed that this middle-aged fat man was kindly reminded, he naturally did not have any unhappiness in his heart, so he replied with a smile.

"Boss, it's a level 7 demonic beast that is underage!"

"Oh, a minor Warcraft, it's still a level 7 Warcraft, not bad, young man, you're lucky!" The middle-aged fat man guessed that Hadley should be a disciple of some big family.

"Come, this soul contract scroll is very suitable for you, only 12,000 gold coins!" The middle-aged fat man smiled, stood up, pulled out a magic scroll from the counter, and handed it to Hadley.

"Didn't you say that it would only cost 9,000 gold coins at most?" Hadley didn't take the magic scroll handed by the middle-aged fat man, but made a surprised expression.

"Nine thousand? Which bastard is talking nonsense? Finlay City doesn't have such a low price! The middle-aged fat man saw that Hadley did not accept the magic scroll handed by him, so he secretly said that it was not good. Even the voices of the speakers became louder.

"Finlay doesn't have such a low price, meaning there are other places?" Hadley didn't expect that he would hear more information from the middle-aged fat man when he said it casually.

"Uh......" The middle-aged fat man's hand shook, and he almost dropped the magic scroll in his hand to the ground. The expression on his face suddenly became a little unnatural.

"I really didn't expect this kid to react so quickly!" The middle-aged fat man said secretly in his heart. However, his face returned to normal in a flash.

"Young man, let me tell you clearly, if it is in the Magnolia Empire, this soul contract scroll can indeed be bought for 9,000 gold coins, but, you know, it is far, far away." The middle-aged fat man looked like he was kind enough to explain.

"But in our Holy Alliance, in Finlay City, even if I have a relationship, the price I bought is 10,000 gold coins. For the sake of your first time, I'll give you a discounted price, 11,000 gold coins. Okay, you can buy it, no, let's do it next time! ”

Hadley shook his head and sighed lightly, secretly slandering in his heart, it seems that he still suffers a little bit from his appearance as a young man.

Under normal circumstances, it is 10,000 gold coins, but if it is exchanged for an adult, the other party should not increase the price. At first, I thought that the other party was kind enough to remind me. Unexpectedly, when it came to doing business in a blink of an eye, the other party was like a different person.

Perhaps, because he thinks too much, the other party may first give himself the impression of a good person, and then slaughter himself, and let himself thank the other party. Alas, forget it, an extra 1,000 gold coins will be 1,000, maybe you will change stores, and this will also happen. It's as if he bargained and earned 1,000 gold coins. It's a lot better to think about it this way.

After Hadley figured it out, he decisively took out the magic crystal card and handed it to the other party. After the transaction is completed, it is time to leave and quickly return to the Walter Lite Hotel.
