Dante said to Hawking in a very serious tone: "Hawking, I will tell you my true identity now. From now on, you must be loyal to me wholeheartedly. Otherwise......"

"Huh? What the? Boss? Hawking was clearly not mentally prepared, and perhaps in his opinion, Dante was nothing more than a big spendthrift.

Dante didn't care if Huo Jinming didn't understand, raised his right hand, stretched out his fingers, pressed Hawking's forehead, and began to use the power of the demon king to inject him with the demon king's mark.

"Ah...... This...... What is this strange feeling? Hawking was stunned by the new boss's strange behavior. The power of the demon king began to flow from Dante's body through his fingers to Hawking's body. The Demon King's mark began to form on Hawking's forehead.

Stephen Hawking joins the Demon King's Army, and his attributes are as follows:

HP 5,000,000, Physical Defense 30%, Full Magic Resistance 20%.

Hawking's usual method is to use his own quick-build equipment to create a mini-turret, which automatically performs a quick ranged physical attack on the target, which can shoot twice a second, and each attack deals 10,000 physical damage.

Hawking made up to four mini-turrets during the battle. Each turret has 2,500,000 HP, 30% physical defense, and 20% full magic resistance. Once manufactured, the turret will automatically paralyze after a minute, and Hawking must be asked to recreate a new one.

Mini-turrets are not affected by "Shadow Clone Level 2" and "Time Surge".

Hawking himself has no hand-to-hand combat ability, only the skill of repairing mini-turrets.

Hawking's ultimate kill is "3,000 kills", quickly creating a huge magic bomb on the spot, throwing it at the enemy, causing a wide area of 350,000 fire damage, while stuning all enemies hit for a second, and burning 5% of the enemy's mana, dealing the same shadow damage. Damage from burning enemy mana is not increased by combo and critical hits.

“……”

Dante saw Hawking's attributes and skills and thought he was very interesting, and he was a very good support force. Hawking didn't know what was going on, so he could only stand there in embarrassment, staring blankly at the new boss pointing his finger at his head.

Dante felt that he had injected the power of the demon king into Hawking, and now he could talk to Hawking telepathically.

Dante withdrew his finger and asked Hawking, "How?" Do you know who I am? ”

"Ah...... This...... This ......," Hawking said in a very excited tone, looking at his hands, "I feel a steady stream of strength!" It's an amazing feeling! Boss...... This ......"

"Answer my question!" Dante swallowed his ramblings in a very dignified tone, and asked, "What is it in that mechanical ball of yours?" Be honest! ”

Hawking thought for a moment, touched his pants pocket, made sure that the mechanical ball was still in it, and replied: "Report to the boss......"

"Call me master in the future." Dante interrupted him again unceremoniously.

"Yes, master!" Hawking bowed to the Great Demon King and said, "Report to the master, the little thing inside is something I picked up a long time ago outside Gem Harbor. ”

"You...... You didn't lie to me, did you? Dante heard Hawking's answer and didn't believe it. He didn't believe that a helpless scrap wood man like Hawking could "occasionally" find the corpse fragments of the ancient demon god in the wild, and bring them back safely, then keep them quietly, and finally put them into the mechanical ball he made.

He was very dissatisfied, moved the iron sword on his back, and said to Hawking very sternly: "You must not deceive your master, otherwise you will be dismantled!" ”

"Oh, how dare I? The master spares his life! Seeing this, Hawking was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I will never dare to lie!" It's the piece I picked up occasionally in the wild. That was a long, long time ago, probably ...... Let me think about it...... It was about four years ago. ”

What the? Four years ago? As soon as Dante heard the phrase "four years ago", his mind immediately remembered what Chen Xiaoyao had said.

Four years ago...... Chen Xiaoyao said that he was attacked by a group of bloodthirsty trolls in the Valley of Thorns four years ago, and was rescued by another special troll, only to end up surround the two. The lifesaver is killed, and the pandaren are rescued by the other pandaren and the Gem Harbor patrol who arrive later.

In between...... Is there any connection?

Dante thought about it and felt that there must be some connection between them. Thinking of this, he continued to ask Hawking: "Go ahead." Take it easy. ”

Hawking nodded and said, "At that time, I had just joined Grande's company. Once, I went out in the evening to collect some berries to make lubricant for machinery and equipment. At that time, I had just arrived in Gem Harbour and was unfamiliar with the place, so I accidentally got lost. In a bush, I found a terrible corpse! Speaking of this, Hawking stopped talking, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He seemed to remember the scene and felt very scared.

"Corpses?" When Dante heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What corpse?" ”

Hawking swallowed and said, "It's the corpse of a male troll, and he looks very tragic!" There was a big hole in the stomach, the internal organs flowed to the ground, a very distant blood mark was dragged on the ground, and the neck was also cut by a knife! In short, the weight of the taste on the scene makes it impossible to look at it directly! Hmm......" At this point, he made a gesture of wanting to vomit.

The corpse of a male troll? Dante remembered the troll lifesaver that Chen Xiaoyao said, and felt that the two trolls should not be one person. Wasn't that life-saver disemboweling and eaten?

Hawking continued: "I was so frightened that I almost peed my pants. However, I noticed that in the pocket of the troll's corpse, there seemed to be a bulging bag. So, I had the courage to go over and turn it over, and it turned out to be a very small bottle. ”

"Very small bottles?" Dante thought for a moment and asked, "What's in the vial is that little piece from the mechanical ball?" Really? Those liquids are also ready-made in small bottles? ”

Hawking nodded and said, "The liquid is not exactly a ready-made thing in a small bottle anymore. When I took out the vial, I noticed that there seemed to be a wolf around me. That's so dangerous! The wolves must have been attracted by the corpses of the trolls! I put away the vial and ran for my life, and finally escaped back to Gem Harbor. The troll corpse must have been eaten by the wolves. ”

"Hmm." Dante continued, "So, where is that little bottle now?" Have you been blown to ashes by that explosion you had earlier? ”

"I didn't ...... Master, listen to me slowly! Hawking hurriedly said, "That little bottle is very strangely made, and there are many strange patterns carved on it. When I brought the vial back to the lab, I unscrewed the lid of the vial and found it filled with liquid and small pieces. However, after a few days, I noticed that the small bottle began to change and actually cracked on its own. At first, a very small crack appeared, and the liquid inside began to leak out. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped talking, as if he had thought of something difficult to say.

"Go on!" Dante impatiently reminded Hawking, "Don't fuck mother-in-law! ”

Seeing that the owner was a little angry, Hawking hurriedly continued: "I don't know if I unscrewed the cap of the vial to trigger some mechanism, anyway, I always feel that since I unscrewed the cap, the vial has been obviously touched, and then it began to crack automatically." I used to keep the little bottle in the drawer of my desk, but later I used to smell a strange burning smell when I was working. Looking around, it turned out that the small bottle in the drawer had started to leak liquid, the liquid was so corrosive that it had burned a small hole through the desk under the drawer! Speaking of which, Hawking was already in a cold sweat. He had to stop first and wipe his sweat again with a hand towel.

“……”

Dante could imagine the scene from his words. The liquid containing the fragments of the corpse is likely to resemble the well water in the Silver Moon Well. It's just that the amount of water in the Silver Moon Well is very large, which relatively dilutes the magic power, and the liquid in that small bottle is very small, so it is contaminated by the magic power into an extremely corrosive magic solvent.

Hawking seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly said: "Master, terrible things are still to come!" ”
