307 With the Devil - Deal
Meanwhile, in another town near the Arcane Ring, a team of first-year apprentices is facing the same predicament as Charlie's team.
In the center of the town was a circular defensive array, and outside the array, the corpses of gnolls, bad demons, and eye demons were piled up in the shape of a small hill, and traces of magic could be seen in the end, and most of the defenders were also lying in pools of blood, covered in bruises, some dead, some dying.
Only a bright golden shield in the center of the circle firmly protected one person, and the surface of the shield was rippling with beautiful runes, constantly exuding heart-palpitating energy, and the shield looked so stable and strong that it was unbreakable.
And this survivor is undoubtedly the most important successor of the thousand-year-old empire, Prince Weining.
As the second in line to the throne, he felt the pressure from the Grand Prince Ryan, who was the most similar to the Crimson King Charles the Great, the eldest son, and had a group of unwavering supporters in the royal court.
All this time, Charles the Great has not expressed his attitude, so Wei Ning does not know whether he is Ryan's whetstone or the opposite, and the Emperor uses Ryan as a benchmark to inspire him to continue to grow.
Perhaps, Charles the Great does not have a real decision in his heart, and is still observing the performance of the two.
Recently, Ryan and Charlie have become friends and have become closer to Elsa, which makes Wei Ning feel isolated, and a strong sense of crisis arises.
Therefore, the connections and achievements of the Arcane Ring are extremely important and become their own plus, after all, the Arcane Ring has recruited the children of the wealthy and powerful families with the highest wealth and power in the thousand-year-old empire, and Wei Ning needs to open up some situations in the academy to save the disadvantage.
Wei Ning originally rushed to the academy with great ambition, but who knew that he would encounter an unprecedented invasion crisis of the Arcane Ring, and what he didn't expect was that he would encounter countless enemies when participating in a seemingly safe mission, and after a fierce battle, he fell into a dead end, which made Wei Ning sigh that fate was impermanent!
Wei Ning really doesn't want to die, there are still a lot of glory and wealth waiting for him in this life, even if he can't be the emperor, with Ryan's temperament, it is expected that he will be a small fiefdom of the free king.
I tried the teleportation function of the crystal apprentice badge, but it had no effect, and the emergency call signal was also sent, but there was no news, Wei Ning's heart tightened little by little, although the eighth-order protective magic in front of him could still support it for an hour, but after that?
"Little thing, I don't know if you are too lucky, or too unlucky, the only great lord among the ten lords, the great Blutarus, was bumped into by you. A smug laugh from a huge will echoed in Wei Ning's mind.
Wei Ning forced his composure and responded, "Are you the Great Lord of the Devil, is that the most powerful existence in Hell?"
"Well, little thing, you're very good at talking, but I'm not the strongest, but I'm ...... Well...... It's strong. You don't have to worry too much, the space in this area is locked by me, and any teleportation magic will be useless, and those magic signals are even less likely to fly out from under my nose. ”
The existence in front of him may only be able to deal with a few Dharma Venerables, if the news of the request for help can be sent, there may be a glimmer of life, however, when it unveils the ruthless reality, Wei Ning's heart sank deeply.
"Is it up to me that the great Lord Blutarus is in the mood to talk to one of my humble little characters?" a bold conjecture popped up in Weining's mind.
"No, you're still far from being begged by me, you are a bunch of ants, which one is bigger and which is smaller, I don't care, it's just that I see a strong desire to survive in your eyes.
Desire is a good thing, it can be transformed into a powerful motivation, in a sense, it is food, it is the source of energy.
It's just that if the disparity between desire and one's own strength is too great, there will be a big problem! And I see this kind of desire that does not match your strength in your eyes!"
Wei Ning let out a scorching breath and said, "Yes, it's a pity that I'm going to die soon, and I still have a lot to do!"
"Do you want to live?"
"Yes. ”
"Have you thought about what to ransom your life for?"
Wei Ning muttered: "I am the second in line to the throne of the most powerful empire on this continent, as long as you give me a chance, maybe I will give you unimaginable rewards in the future!"
"Sounds interesting. ”
"It's that much fun, I have so many ways to prove myself!"
"No, you don't have to prove it, I know pretty much everything about you.
I know that you love a woman, very deeply, but she seems to like another person, so you are cruel to him, and you are even more jealous of him, jealous that he is better than you in all aspects except that his background is inferior to you!
I also know that you have an older brother who is very good in all aspects, and you don't seem to be sure about him, and a prince who can't inherit the throne is basically not of much value.
You're a typical loser, I've seen a lot, but some of them have come out of the shadows with my help. Blutarus chuckled, and his words were a little more provocative.
Wei Ning's body stiffened slightly when Blutarus revealed the secret hidden in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "That's the case!
And the devil - a deal ?!
Wei Ning suddenly flashed such a thought in his heart, which was really a bit absurd, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be a way out of his life, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart when he suddenly grabbed such a life-saving straw.
As for the consequences, for the time being, there is no more serious consequence than the loss of his life, at this moment, Wei Ning did not think about some additional questions, he had seen the terrifying mind-reading technique of Blutarus, and he did not dare to let himself have some disrespectful thoughts, lest it notice.
Brutarus was noncommittal, and muttered, "To borrow strength from me, you have to consider whether you can afford to pay that price. ”
"As long as I can become the monarch of the thousand-year empire, everything is easy to say!"
Blutarus laughed, "Aren't you afraid of betraying your race?"
Wei Ning replied without hesitation: "What does that have to do with me, as long as I get what I want!"
"Oh! What a naked egoist, and your shamelessness has the same demeanor as I did back then. Blutarus laughed.
Wei Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled back, and said, "Then I will agree to my request!"
"Yes, I promise you, give you strength, it will not show up immediately and make people suspicious, but will slowly change your physique and talent, and even your bloodline, and then improve your strength in all aspects.
In order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, you must sell your soul and sign a devil's contract with me, once the contract is effective, if you want to break it, I am afraid that the price will be great. ”
"No problem!" Wei Ning was so excited that he couldn't wait to try that power right away.
"All right, child, open your heart and listen to the devil's whispers!" Blutarus turned into a cloud of black mist, enveloping Wei Ning, and the black air around him went in and out with the breath of his nostrils.
Suddenly, a painful expression appeared on Wei Ning's face, and then his whole body tensed, his eyes cracked, and he asked angrily, "Your Excellency Blutarus, you ...... What are you doing?"
Blutarus said impatiently: "I'm improving your physique, your body is too weak, and you've been hollowed out by women, how can you withstand my strength?!Is it painful? That's only temporary, if you can't stand this pain, what's the big deal?!"
Hearing this, Wei Ning gritted his teeth and persevered desperately, but this pain was really unforgettable, it felt like there were thousands of insects in his body eating his flesh and blood, itching and pain were intertwined, ravaging the nerves everywhere in the body, and it felt like life was worse than death.
Oh, there was another violent headache, Wei Ning snorted, covered his head with his hands, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, and he was half-asleep, as if something was breaking out of the shell in his mind......
The headache lasted for several minutes before it stopped, and the strange feeling on his body gradually dissipated, Wei Ning touched his head, only to find that there were two protrusions of hard stubble in front of his head, which were constantly exuding a hot feeling.
Looking at the surrounding gnolls and bad demons, they all showed a trace of timidity, which was in the face of the eighth-order protective spells
Wei Ning held his head and asked, "What is this?"
"The Devil's Horn, in my race it is a status symbol, and you have gained my power, which is certainly much stronger than those of the inferior races. ”
Wei Ning smiled bitterly: "But how can I hide it!"
"It's your problem. ”
"Great Blutarus, you know, I need my current identity, I need it not to be exposed, to grab more capital. Wei Ning couldn't help but retort a few words, and asked again: "Then will it still grow up?"
"When you grow up, you automatically have the ability to control it, and you can control its size. ”
"I see. ”
"Strength, I have given you, you can secure your power, and if I ask for it, it will be passed on to you through the devil's horn. Now let's sign the contract! ”
Soon, a low groan rippled in the air over the town, and in the turbulent void wind, it did not disperse for a long time, as if the devil was whispering......
The sky was swirling with swirling dark clouds, and the void wind tide on the Demon Pivot Plain was still cold, just blowing on Wei Ning's body, but there was a coaxing warmth, full of gray and white tones, and a solemn scene fell in Wei Ning's eyes, but it was a piece of tranquility.
Wei Ning walked leisurely, wandering on the plains, with a bunch of high-level gnolls' ears in his backpack, this outstanding killing result should be able to hide the impact of the destruction of the entire team!
Wei Ning gritted his teeth and muttered silently: "Charlie, you wait for me! But don't die in the hands of these garbage cannon fodder!"
