Chapter 156: Soul Servant (3rd Update)
Gavin didn't know what to say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although most of the spell runes on this sword have been eroded and consumed with time, and the sealed fire element energy in it has almost been lost, the material of this sword alone is about equivalent to more than half of Gavin's net worth, and this is because of the treasure of the Snake King.
Without counting the Mithril Mine.
Gavin was unceremonious, and put the Burning Iron Heavy Sword in the dimensional bag.
The sword is his.
Then he looked up at the Skeleton Swordsman, wondering what to do with it.
He thought for a moment, then frowned, looked at the skeleton swordsman, and asked lightly, "Tell me, who are you." Of course you can choose not to answer, but I think you know the results. ā
The soul of the Skeleton Swordsman was clear, a middle-aged human, about forty years old, and he looked majestic.
The soul showed his pre-death appearance, dressed in ordinary, not armor but ordinary cloth, which led Gavin to speculate that the Skeleton Swordsman was likely a Juggernaut during his lifetime, a warrior class that chose no armor and only weapons.
No wonder this sword rebelled against itself!
Juggernauts often establish a special connection with their own weapons, and Juggernauts will even transfer a part of their life force to the weapon, so that the weapon has more wonderful abilities, and only he can use it.
If the weapon is damaged, the Juggernaut himself will also take a lot of damage!
The Skeleton Swordsman was furious when he saw Gavin put away his weapon.
He wanted to resist, but to no avail, the lone wolf's "tremor shock" completely controlled him.
He was clever enough to quickly recognize the situation and calm down, though his face seemed very confused.
He replied, "I...... I can't remember...... I...... Who is it? ā
His language organization skills are much better, although he is still incoherent, at least not upside down, and it seems that he is very adaptable and has regained some of his linguistic memory.
Gavin frowned.
The super perception told him that the Skeleton Swordsman was not lying, and that there was clearly something wrong with his soul.
In the depths of the ground, fighting against the vampire demon vine for so many years, his soul energy has been consumed, his soul has weakened a lot, and his memory has problems, he can't remember who he is, but the combat skills are engraved in the depths of his soul, and it seems that he has never completely forgotten it.
"What do you remember? Tell me. You're smart enough to understand that the reason I didn't kill you was because you were valuable. Tell me everything you know. Do you want to be a new person? If you satisfy me, maybe I can satisfy you. Gavin's voice was flat.
He had a new decision.
The Skeleton Swordsman has an extraordinary background, and at least some of his abilities have been preserved during his lifetime. Keeping him as a servant would be a very powerful helper.
I didn't dare to enslave him before, because this guy's soul is very strong, so his spirit must not be weak, and Gavin is not sure that he will pass the spiritual judgment of the Death Technique.
Not now.
But now that it's been taken, there's always a way to drain it. Besides, if it really doesn't work, you can still coerce and induce, there will always be a way to make it succumb.
He wanted to know everything about the Skeleton Swordsman, because this guy was not simple, and maybe there were some relatives and friends still alive, and if he recognized him, he might get himself in trouble.
Although the Skeleton Swordsman has a memory loss and a serious loss of soul energy, his soul is not actually injured, and unlike Squeak's situation, at least there is no mental defect.
If it is in the physical category, Squeak belongs to the missing arm and broken leg, and the skeleton swordsman is equivalent to starving for more than ten days and dying, the two are not the same thing at all.
The skeleton swordsman is very smart, but the memory of wisdom seems to have disappeared, like a child with super intelligence, a blank sheet of paper, who does not know how to deceive, and will not deceive others.
So he immediately replied, "Pegasus...... Vine...... Red Fire ...... I don't remember. ā
Gavin shook his head and smiled wryly.
The Skeleton Swordsman has severe memory loss, and almost all of his memories are lost.
But that's fine, a blank piece of paper is left to paint on its own, and it won't be too difficult to completely subdue it.
I just don't know if his memory will slowly recover as his soul slowly recovers.
"Surrender to me and become my servant, I will make you a new man, and I will find a way to reforge and enchant your iron-burning heavy sword, and the power will not be weaker than before, or even stronger."
Gavin released his mental fluctuations, and his voice became very cold: "I can even help you recover your soul and restore your memory." Surrender, or die! ā
His fingers quickly outlined, and spell runes quickly appeared, and then combined in some mysterious way, forming a special spell model, which was also mixed with a wisp of Gavin's soul.
It's the Soul Pact, a simple, but costly spell.
Merge a wisp of your own soul into a specific rune, and then merge with the other person's soul. From now on, the other party will be his servant, and he will never be able to betray him.
However, once the soul servant dies, then the master will also lose that soul.
Even for the lone wolf, he did not use the soul contract, but chose the death technique.
The art of death is unreliable, and it is possible to break free from control.
However, Gavin treats the lone wolf as a companion rather than a pet, and the lone wolf is very trusting and attached to him, which of course does not have to be.
The reason why I chose to use the soul contract is because the soul of the skeleton swordsman is too strong and the spiritual power is too strong. The effect of the Death Spell depends on the mental difference between the master and the servant.
Hank and Barton's mental strength is much worse than Gavin's, so Gavin is not worried that they will betray.
But the Skeleton Swordsman's mental strength is probably no weaker than his own, and the Death Technique is not reliable at all.
There is a precedent for forgetting mages.
Back then, the Lich King of the Western Dead Kingdom was suddenly hit hard, and the Forgotten Mage took this opportunity to lead a large number of undead creatures who had awakened their wisdom to break away from the control of the Lich King's service and death skills, and established the Church of the Forsaken, also known as the "Forgotten Church".
That time, the Lich King was devoured by the spirit, and his soul was traumatized, and he has not recovered until now!
A legendary creature standing at the top of the legendary throne fell to a hundred places!
Gavin didn't want to end up in the same fate as the Lich King.
So he chose the soul contract, even if he lost a part of his soul for it.
The soul contract makes the master and servant more intimate, and the subtle soul level will also make this relationship stronger.
10,000 years ago, the seven generals of the Eternal Night Hades were all his soul servants.
Seven is a very wonderful number for magic. Seven minions, so that the Lord of the Eternal Night has the peak strength and power.
Being a human again and retrieving memories is undoubtedly something more important to the Skeleton Swordsman than freedom.
He didn't think long before he agreed.
The rune took a wisp of Gavin's soul and merged into the soul of the Skeleton Swordsman, and Gavin had the first soul minion.
