Chapter 273: Chicken Rib Harvest
Today is the sixth day of Alex's "Seven-Day Covenant" with the Shay.
Early in the morning, while people were enjoying the warmth of the morning glow, a group of people sat helplessly on the cold and damp concrete floor, and the cold air constantly rising from the ground made the crowd of people in different costumes shiver.
This is not the famous slum of the North District, so many people are crowded in one room, which looks very strange. The room had no windows, no furniture, not even a bed.
It's clearly a prison cell.
Yes, this is a cell in the secret basement of the Sword of Sacred Fire. Originally, the warehouse used to store goods here now serves as a prison cell.
Beside them, each placed a piece of hard black bread and a glass of milk without temperature. This kind of treatment is much better than that of most people in the slums. But today, none of them touched their breakfast, but stared intently at a dark gold scroll in front of them.
They were silent. After a long time, an elderly man dressed in black finally couldn't bear the silence anymore and said to another elderly man in black beside him, "Master, should we sign this scroll?" His tone trembled, and it could be seen that he had moved a lot of courage.
The old man in black glanced at the young apprentice and said, "We are the people of the Yin Lord, if we sign, if the adults know that we have reversed the Dark Blade, will we die without a place to be buried!" β
The young man seemed reluctant to accept such an outcome: "However, if we refuse, the Sword of Sacred Fire will not let us out." We've been imprisoned for almost a month now, and if we stay like this, the gap between us and the guys out there is getting bigger and bigger. Moreover, Mistress Renault is not a soft-hearted person. β
The older man in black said: "That Renault is indeed terrifying, but I am even more afraid of the Yin Evil Lord. You're too young to know what the sinister adults do. If you don't compromise, you will continue to be imprisoned at most, and if you betray the Darkblade, then you will face a worse than dead end. β
Suddenly, a voice said: "What is not evil, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay in this ghost place." The man who spoke was a fat magician, and before he could wait for his two companions to speak, he bit his thumb and dripped blood onto the dark gold scroll.
The soul contract is signed.
Then, he carefully picked up the activated scroll, walked to the door, and shouted loudly, "The soul contract has been signed, let me out." β
Two of his companions exclaimed, "Lingyun, are you crazy? It's a soul contract that resembles a slave agreement, when did you fall to the point where you were willing to be an eagle dog? β
The guy named Ling Yun and his two companions were the three robbers that Renault met when he first went to the underground world. Their employer, the businessman Jia Dao, had already taken refuge under Renault's wing. The three of them were imprisoned here for a long time, left unattended. This time, he finally waited for Renault's opportunity to surrender, and the magician Ling Yun couldn't wait to discuss with his companions and signed the contract directly.
The door of the cell opened, and he was greeted by a two-meter-tall giant man, and even more striking was the two battle axes held in both hands, which flickered in the faint light of the cell. Although there were many people in the cell, they were unarmed, and there were many differences in rank, so they were his opponents.
The giant man saw the contract scroll in Ling Yun's hand, and laughed: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, you kid is smart enough, go, a big banquet has been set up outside, and all those who voluntarily sign the contract are eligible to attend the table." β
"Wait......" Ling Yun's two companions were anxious, and they signed the contract one after another. Even the thing that had just mocked Ling Yun was thrown out of the clouds.
The giant man opened his arms and pushed the three of them out the door: "The boss knows that you will make a smart choice. What are you doing with a bitter face? Rest assured, as long as you sign the soul contract, you are the people of the Sword of Sacred Fire. I, Haihu, vouch for my life, and absolutely treat you as my own. As for those who refuse to sign......" He glared back and said, "If you don't know how to take advantage of the situation, you can only stay here and suffer." β
The nine men in black behind them were all chilled in their hearts, but the power of the sinister past prevented them from making a wise choice. However, the young man did not care much, and immediately shouted: "Wait, let me out!" I don't want to stay here! β
Haihu smiled: "Want to leave? Then you should know how to do it. β
The young man in black hesitated, but finally signed the contract.
The old man in black was his master, and said fiercely: "You are killing yourself!" β
The young man said unwillingly: "We have been locked up for more than a month, if the yin evil is as you say, then you should rescue us." If he doesn't save us, it either shows that his strength is limited, or it proves that he doesn't care about our life or death at all. Are you willing to die for such a cold-blooded and ruthless person? β
After saying this, he left with the sea tiger without looking back.
With a bang, the prison door closed, and the remaining eight men in black couldn't help but shake, especially the last sentence.
β¦β¦
"The plan went well." The person who spoke was GΓΌlen.
Haihu said: "Unexpectedly, even those nine Yin Demon subordinates agreed to sign a contract, it seems that the Dark Blade is not far from falling." β
Reynolds: "The Dark Blade is not as terrifying as the legend says, except that most people are afraid of the unique 'coercion' of the Dark. β
Indeed, under the threat of "coercion", no amount of numerical superiority will be of no avail. However, no matter how big the threat is, it can't match the current predicament. Between being imprisoned for life, and being retribution by the Darkblade after regaining your freedom, people often choose the latter. After all, one is an inevitable event and the other is a possible event in the future.
Glenn said with some concern: "Even if the shady people are willing to sign the contract, I still stick to my previous opinion, these people are the thieves who spied on intelligence when we first established the Sword of Sacred Fire, and they are all a job change. The combat power is far inferior to that of Ling Yun and the others. I think it's overkill to use the precious soul contract on the nine of them. β
Renault said: "The average level of these people stays at 25, but they naturally have their own unique ability to serve the Dark Blade. What they lacked was resources and time, both of which we did not lack in the Sword of Sacred Fire. β
Haihu grabbed his hair and asked: "I admit that there are many resources, but there is no shortage of time." β
Renault smiled and said, "The so-called time refers to the time used to increase the level. Don't forget, we have things that others don't have. β
GΓΌlen and the sea tiger said at the same time: "Pyramid?!" β
β¦β¦
For the Sword of Sacred Fire, this was an unprecedentedly powerful team, with a core of four people other than Jin Hongming, plus the ten people of the original Ice and Fire Wild Song, and the twelve people who were later recruited in the prison cell, the number reached twenty-six.
Today, they are marching towards the secret stronghold, the pyramid. There are a large number of undead monsters here, and the number of each layer represents the level level of the monsters. Just right for this team with varying ranks.
The team was split into two and led by Renault and Ling Yun respectively. Renault led the most elite team, and Ling Yun was all his cellmates. Maybe it was the relationship that was the first to sign the soul contract, or maybe it was because of his powerful "instantaneous" exclusivity, which made him the captain for the first time. But he was so happy that he finally swept away the resentment of being imprisoned, and began to be truly grateful to Renault and swore allegiance.
This distribution is also due to the fact that everyone has different ranks. The team led by Ling Yun is responsible for clearing the undead from the twentieth to the thirtieth floor; Renault personally led the elite to the sixty-sixth floor.
This time, it can be described as well-prepared. All the equipment is developed in the direction of restraining the undead. Such a large purchase of divine attribute weapons is something that only a large organization like the Sword of Sacred Fire can complete.
Fully prepared, coupled with the strength of the team, it was all expected to be crushed all the way.
Soon, this team was on the sixty-fifth floor, completely annihilating an army of puppet dolls. The so-called puppet dolls are not only because they are human monsters, but also because they are the sharpest thing about using a variety of skills used by players. The use of magic and vindictive spirit was a big surprise for Renault and others. Wall of Fire, Wall of Ice, Call of Wind, Lightning Strike, Summoning of Earthling...... Skills aren't powerful, but they can be used in huge quantities.
Since it is called a legion, the number of people exceeds 100. If it weren't for Renault's concentration of the most elite fourteen people, coupled with a large number of restrained equipment, it would have been impossible to win the victory without paying casualties.
After the total annihilation, most people's main skills were emptied, all the life-saving potions stored in the belt were drunk, and even the durability of the weapon decreased a lot. Of course, the loot obtained was also extremely rich. There are five puppet essences alone.
Puppet Doll Essence: Randomly grants a Qi Gathering ability in Weapon Curse Possession (Fire), Weakness (Water), Weathering (Wind), Static Magnetic Field (Lightning), and Retardation (Earth), for a total of eight Qi Gatherings. Can only be inlaid on weapons.
It seems to be a good attribute, but all the people present are strong, and the five random attribute skills are all low-level magic, and they are also negative magic. Very limited use against powerful monsters or players. And the restriction can only be attached to the weapon, which is tantamount to weakening its value again.
Zhu Chi sighed: "It's all chicken ribs, so it can only be sold." β
Renault doesn't see it that way: "There are no chicken skills in the world, only unsuitable skills." β
Zhu Chi was puzzled: "Could it be that there are people here who specialize in the curse system?" β
Renault smiled, "You don't have to specialize in curses, do you?" β
Looking at the boss's meaningful smile, Zhu Chi suddenly shuddered, and suddenly remembered the scene when he fought with the boss and his fame ability, the title of Fire Resistant, was cracked by the low-level fireball technique, and exclaimed: "Could it be ......you?"
Renault: "Who else but me?" β
