Chapter 24: The Emperor's Bone Claw
"Okay, now we're partners for the time being, tell me what you want is there. Layton said.
The White Bone Emperor looked at Layton with a sense of successful conspiracy, feeling like he was being calculated by the hairy boy in front of him, and shook his skull to disperse these strange thoughts.
With his eyes closed, he carefully perceived, and said, "You step back to that pavement, Benjun needs to get closer." ”
Layton found that since the White Bone Emperor separated a wisp of soul fire, the entire soul body seemed to have become a little illusory, and it seemed that this equal contract still had a great binding force on its soul body.
But why don't I feel that way, I just feel a little dizzy. He couldn't help but speculate: Is it because I am a living person, and the damage is not as obvious as that of the soul body?
Leighton followed his instructions and retreated to a stall that specialized in selling skeletons and undead, with Hima and Wanba following him.
Hima said suspiciously, "Do you want to buy a skeleton undead?" I suggest that you better get it yourself and then enslave it. ”
Layton asked curiously, "Is there any difference with this?"
Wanba coughed, stepped forward and said, "Of course it's different, the undead slave who is subdued by force can sign a contract of servitude. It is a means of direct control of the origin of the soul, it is safe, and it will never be betrayed. And the undead who are bought cannot sign a contract of servitude. It can only be controlled by simple speech, and it is not possible to do what you want, and sometimes it can get out of control. ”
"Okay, I see. Layton nodded.
Layton still stood in front of the stall and looked around.
Hima looked at Layton looking like he was looking for something and said to him, "Are you looking for something?"
Layton shook his head and said, "It's okay, just take a look." ”
He couldn't help but say to himself: Am I so obvious? Even they can see it, okay, keep it casual.
The White Bone Emperor said excitedly: "Right here, I have a very strong feeling, the third skeleton soldier on the left. ”
Layton walked over to the third skeleton soldier, looked at it carefully, and didn't notice anything different.
"Are you sure that's it? I don't see anything wrong. Layton said suspiciously.
The White Bone Emperor tightly covered his soul perception on the skeleton soldier, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "This is it, the bone claw part of the left hand." ”
Layton looked over without a trace, and sure enough, he saw that the bone claw part of the skeleton soldier's left hand was a little out of place with the bones on his body, revealing a chilling murderous aura.
Layton casually pointed to a skeleton soldier and asked the boss, "Boss, how do you sell skeleton soldiers?"
"Ten Star Spirit Coins. A low, hoarse voice like grinding teeth came.
When Layton looked up, he realized that the paving owner's body was shrouded in a loose gray robe, and most of his face was obscured from seeing clearly. The flesh and blood of the exposed arms had long since dried up and turned grayish-brown, which was extremely terrifying. Looking at the scene in front of you, you can imagine what kind of face the person under this gray robe will be.
"Then I want this skeleton soldier. Layton said, pointing to the third skeleton.
"Fifty Star Spirit Coins. The hoarse voice came again.
This voice sounded like a broken fan, whirring, and the three people who listened to it were sour.
Layton showed some dissatisfaction and said: "Just now it was still ten Star Spirit Coins, why is the price increasing now, is it a deception." ”
"Little brother, don't you know, although this is a skeleton soldier, its combat power is directly catching up with the second-order skeleton warrior, and a pair of bone claws are rare opponents in the same rank, it can be said that it is a hundred with one block. It's a special skeleton I stumbled upon when I traveled deep into the hinterland of the Bone Wasteland. If it weren't for its low rank, I believe it could have been sold for a better price. The paver owner said slowly.
Layton touched his pocket, his face was a little embarrassed, he forgot to carry it in a hurry this time, and he only had thirty Star Spirit Coins on his body, and all the belongings obtained from the Dungeon Hall were stored in the space ring, and now they were hung around his neck and hidden in his clothes, so it was really difficult to take them out.
Layton calmly said to the boss, "This skeleton soldier is too expensive, I don't think it's worth the price." ”
The shopkeeper had already seen the shyness in his pocket, and his withered arm pointed to a sign that read "No bargaining".
"Little brother, you can't afford it!" the stall owner sneered, raising an eyebrow.
Layton had a plan, turned to the two and said, "Forget it, I won't buy it, let's go." ”
As soon as he heard that he was leaving, a powerful coercion erupted from the shop owner's body, and the gray robe on his body bulged, revealing his original face under the gray robe. It was a dry bone that seemed to be wrapped in a layer of skin, like a dried corpse.
The powerful middle-level magician's coercion was revealed, like a mountain pressing down on the three of them in an instant.
The owner of the stall said viciously: "I have seen something, I want to leave if I don't buy it, and I can't help you today." ”
The three of them were only first- and second-order magicians, how could they withstand the momentum and coercion of middle-level magicians, gritting their teeth and resisting.
Ji Ma's face turned red, and she looked at the shop owner in front of her, her face changed greatly, and she said, "It's not good, this is an evil magician." ”
Wanba was only at the first level, and his body was about to be crushed. At this time, when he heard that the other party was an evil magician, he trembled in a faint voice: "I have it here, buy it, buy it, you quickly withdraw your coercion." ”
Layton wanted to get away with it and bargain, but he didn't expect that the other party would not play his cards according to common sense at all, but was forced by the other party fiercely.
After instantly retracting the coercion of his aura, the paver boss immediately regained his smile as if his face had changed, but this smile was more ugly than crying.
The three of them seemed to have unloaded a thousand pounds of boulders, and their bodies were a little spasmodic.
Wamba asked, "Layton, how far are you?"
"Twenty Star Spirit Coins. ”
Wanba took out twenty Star Spirit Coins from his body and handed them to Leighton.
Finally, Layton bought the skeleton undead, and the three of them quickly left the stall, not daring to stay another minute. Walking to a safe place, Layton sincerely said to Wanba: "Thank you, return to you." ”
"That's what you see. Wanba said with a wave of his hand.
Layton looked at Hima and asked, "By the way, what is the evil mage you just mentioned?" ”
Ji Ma's face became unusually serious, and she said solemnly: "As we all know, most magicians usually join some magic academies, special organizations, etc., in order to better cultivate. However, in order to cultivate more freely, some people usually choose to explore their cultivation alone, just like a lone ranger. This type of people tend to be arrogant, like to be reclusive, and have quirky personalities, but they are generally very strong. Most of the evil mages among the dark mages will go crazy because they have not received orthodox magical knowledge, just like the stall owner just now, who has become a dried corpse. ”
Wamba then added: "Such people are hardly bound by the world, and often go on a killing spree according to their own preferences, and the elders of the family have warned us that we must avoid the edge of the evil magician, and remember not to provoke them. ”
Leighton asked the two, "Isn't he afraid that the guards in the City of the Dead will expel him?" ”
Ji Ma shook his head and said: "Of course he doesn't dare to make trouble in the City of the Dead, but there are many conspiracies and tricks of this kind of person, and when he leaves the city, he will face all kinds of plots, so this kind of person, try not to provoke." ”
After listening to the words of the two, Layton nodded, finally having a general understanding of the evil magician.
The three of them walked quickly towards the city gate, followed by the skeleton soldiers they had just bought for fifty Star Spirit Coins, ready to meet with the Night Soul Master.
Along the way, Layton walked behind Hima and Wanba, conversing with the Bone Emperor in his mind.
"You've got this thing in your hands, what to do with it now. Layton asked.
"Don't worry, I'll help you get rid of a little trouble first, you have been tracked by the evil magician just now, and there is a black mark on the cuff of your shirt. ”
Hearing this, Layton looked down at the sleeve of his shirt, and sure enough, there was a black circular mark. Frightened, he once again had a clearer understanding of the evil magician.
The White Bone Emperor didn't know how to use it, and after the soul was lightly covered, the mark was quickly erased.
The shopkeeper on the other side of the distance was stunned, and then continued to hide under the wide gray robe as if nothing had happened.
The White Bone Emperor felt the bone claw and said happily: "Haha, it is indeed the bone claw that this monarch has lost." Suddenly, a powerful suction force rushed out of the undead monument, sucking the bone claw into the undead monument and disappearing.
Layton looked up nervously at the two of them, but fortunately he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
What he didn't know was that in a hidden room in the inner city of the City of the Dead, an old man in plain clothes suddenly raised his head, sensed around, and muttered to himself: "Hey, I obviously felt a powerful aura just now, why is this gone?"
