Nicolid seemed to be in a good mood and even whistled softly. Of course, he was in a good mood, not only killed Dong Shangjue as he wished, but also set out to make demons with a hundred enemies. If used wisely, he will deter the Quartet.

Immediately after the successful assassination of the Eastern Shangjue, the Assassins responded to Nicotid, including the ravages of the Sparrows. In response, Nikoyid negotiated with Dai Xingquan Li to ask for the surrender of the demon, and the latter readily agreed. Nikoride was overjoyed to have obtained a powerful weapon, and despised Dai Xingquanli's lack of intelligence, and such a treasure did not know how to use it. Dai Xingquanli is also relieved that she threw the ominous sparrow on Nikorid, and despises Nikorid, mistaking poison for fine wine. Of course, the contempt on both sides is not manifested.

Filled with joy, Nikorid led more than twenty elite assassins, Shar-Pei, and the sparrow trapped in a large box to a nearby cellar.

The crowd lit torches, and the person walking in front used shimmering magic to illuminate the spiral staircase. The four walls look like they are very old. The "Temple Snake" is the best in the archaeological industry, and there are a few other teams but they are not famous, and the small ruins here were discovered by the unnamed archaeological team under the Nikorid.

Although it is called a "ruin", there is nothing in it or any cultural heritage, so one wonders what was the reason for building such a deep cellar in the first place.

In fact, this small cellar is the "underground altar", which is the garrison room. The most important part of the underground altar is the king's tomb, and it is difficult to rely on the solid metal façade alone, so it is expected that a garrison room will be built directly above the king's tomb to prevent tomb robbers from entering. On the day when the "Hundred Years of Prosperity" disappeared into thin air, the "underground altar" had not yet been fully built - the queen's tomb had already been completed, and the king's tomb had not yet been officially completed, because the king was old but still in good health. Therefore, the huge cave where Yuan Huang and the others faced hundreds of metal puppets before was so empty, the king did not enter the tomb but sat on the throne, and the garrison room directly above was empty.

Today, the garrison is used as an ancient cellar and one of the most secluded secret strongholds in Nicorid.

"It's perfect for ceremonies!" Nicotid stretched his arms and turned around to reveal the "landscape" of the spacious basement—empty, eerie and vaguely filled with the smell of blood that had only recently dissipated.

Shar Pei was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Ritual?" ”

"From this moment on, you are about to become the new owner of the sparrow. Excited or not? Unhappy? Do you want to thank me? Instead of looking back, Nicorid bent over and stared up at Shar-Pei, his smile genuinely pleasant as his face turned upside down.

"The boss really loves to laugh, how can this be done? Changing Hands? Unheard-of. Shar Pei felt a chill down his spine. He had never been able to comprehend Nicoid's thought circuits before, and even more so now. This boss...... The brain is very abnormal.

Nikorids laughed, "Answer me, who is the greatest contract mage in the world?" ”

"It's you."

It wasn't Shar Pei who answered, but more than twenty Assassins around him.

"So, just wait and see." Nicotrid smiled and patted Shar Pei's cheek, making a few crisp sounds that echoed through the basement.

The Assassins began to prepare. The walls of the basement were filled with torches, a large circle of spells was carved on the floor, and props such as candles and animal bones were placed to enhance the power. When everything was ready, they carried the large chest to the center of the circle.

The Assassins looked at Nicorid.

The latter nodded.

Open the lid suddenly!

It wasn't that the Assassins were too quick to open the lid of the box, but that the sparrow struggled to break free while the box was unlocked. The sealing barrier that had previously bound it was still in effect, nearly a hundred almost transparent silk threads tied to every inch of its body, holding it firmly, if it hadn't been for that, it would have flapped its wings and leapt into the air. The enchantment caused the sparrow to be in agony, unable to maintain its form, and constantly emitting a whining sound like a fingernail scraping glass, which was very harsh.

It had been greatly damaged, and the other demons had already been sealed, but it was still struggling and refusing to give up. The size has shrunk to the point where it is the size of an adult's forearm, not counting the tail feather.

"Sure enough, it's vermilion! It's so tenacious, and you don't forget to stare at me viciously when you're dying! ”

Nicolid said this, and laughed to himself.

The surrounding Assassins chuckled.

Shar Pei didn't find the point of the laugh at all......

"Huh? Don't you think what I just said is funny? Nycorid suddenly stared coldly at Shar Pei, the only one who wasn't laughing, and asked.

"It's funny, of course it's funny! Hahaha......"

Seeing Shape's smile that was more ugly than crying, Nikorid nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." People should always have a sense of humor, and only those who are full of self-confidence know how to be humorous. So, people have to be confident, you know? ”

Shar Pei shook his whole body and replied loudly, "Yes, boss! He felt that Nicorid was not in his right mind, and there was an indescribable horror.

"Very good, you are very good, you deserve to be a man who has been approved by me." Nikoyid praised again and again, "Don't worry, whether it's funding your comeback reconstruction team afterwards, or money or women, it's all easy to say!" Now answer me one thing, something very important - do you have faith? ”

"Yes!" Shar Pei was worried that if he didn't, his life would be over immediately.

"Do you have the confidence to conquer the sparrows?"

"Yes!"

Nycorid seemed finally satisfied, and ignored Shar Pei and turned to look at the sparrow.

I saw that his hands condensed a huge ball of mana and projected it onto the spirit sparrow's body. Ordinary and pure mana cannot cause any damage until it is converted into concrete magic, and if it is said that it has any effect, it is a battle for "mana infection".

As a mage, learning "mana infection" is the basic of the basics. If there is a flame between two mages and they are casting fire magic at the same time in an attempt to control the flames to be thrown at each other, how can you tell who owns the flames? The answer is "Mana Infection". Whoever pours his mana into the flames first has a first-hand advantage in control, and then the other party wants to pour mana to take away the flames, but they need to pour more to take it away. This kind of behavior of the two sides constantly throwing mana into the target and fighting for control with it is called "mana infection".

If you want to teleport, you need to infect the target location with mana in advance; If you want to arrange a magic circle, you also need to infect the ground with mana; What Nikorid has to do now is to directly control the sparrow itself and infect the sparrow itself with mana. This is a huge project that consumes a huge amount of mana, because the energy of the sparrow is bottomless.

Mana is a thing that is originally colorless and transparent, and it is inaccessible to the naked eye. Nikorid poured all his mana into the sparrow's body, and the momentum was so turbulent that even Shar Pei, who was a warrior, could see it, and the mana was like a transparent "water stream" with a diameter of half a meter that continued to be injected into the sparrow's body.

Nicorid's brows were tightened, sweat pouring down, and the sparrow was in more pain than before. This kind of mana infestation lasted for about a minute. Shar Pei saw this scene and only felt really powerful...... I didn't expect the boss to have such a weight of mana, and his strength was not inferior to Dong Shangjue at all.

"Ahhh Nycoride suddenly roared loudly, using the last of his strength.

Finally, he succeeded, and at the same time sat on the ground, panting like a cow.

The scarlet sparrow had turned blue and white, as if it had been frozen, and its movements were slow. Its entire body was now completely infected by the mana of Nikorid, and it was at the mercy of it. It is said to be "left to the test", but in fact, the magic that Nikorids can do is nothing more than "making a contract".

Unable to wait to regain his strength, Nykorid immediately stood up and regained his momentum, because the control of the sparrow was only temporary, and it had to be held on.

He shouted to the sparrow, "O scarlet sparrow! I now make a "pact" with you! Recognize him again—" said Nicorid, gesturing to Shar Pei beside him, "Shar Pei, your new master!" and shall not be my enemy! ”

It is impossible for ordinary demons to change hands, but the sparrow is parasitic on artifact fragments, and the situation is special and worth a try.

"Keep this covenant and you will be safe! If you disobey, you will be destroyed by my mana until you are wiped out! The decision is yours, so choose now! ”
