The three of Leighton walked slowly through the outer part of the City of the Dead. Although it is only an outer city, it is not as desolate and dilapidated as imagined, but bustling with people and rivers.

The outer city is not only lined with shops, but also has some specific mobile areas dedicated to setting up stalls.

There are many types of things sold in the mobile area, and most of them are obtained from the undead realm. Some take out the captured undead and sell them, some sell some natural treasures, and some even sell some unknown dark spells and so on.

Most of the vendors here have hideous faces, and they are all the most vicious. When the three students walked in, there was a sense of a lost lamb straying into the tiger's den, and the atmosphere became a little tense in vain.

Wanba looked left and right, and couldn't help but whisper: "This is the outer city of the City of the Dead, which is notoriously mixed, I heard that there were often black eating black in the past, let's be careful." ”

"It's okay! Now the management of the City of the Dead is much stricter than it was back then, they are fierce on the surface, but they are actually a vulnerable group here. Hima said disapprovingly.

"You know this?" asked Layton.

"Of course. When I was a child, my grandfather brought me here to play. It's just that I didn't like the atmosphere here, so I rarely came. Jima said.

"Then tell us what you know. Wanba looked at Hima with a blank look and said.

Layton pricked up his ears as well, ready to listen.

"Okay, then I'll open your eyes. As far as I know, the City of the Dead is divided into two districts, the inner city is heavily guarded, and it is an important gathering place for dark mages, mainly for some important sacrifices and inheritances. It is rumored that the Dark Temple, which once dominated the entire continent, is hidden somewhere in the inner city. The inner city is forbidden to all outsiders without the permission of the city lord. ”

Ji Ma looked at the two people in front of him listening carefully, couldn't help but be a little amused, cleared his throat, and continued: "Don't look at this city of the dead is located in the undead realm, and its prosperity is no weaker than those capitals in the Holy Dragon Continent. For example, the outer city in front of you has major trading houses, dark magic associations, auction houses, taverns, mercenary halls, and so on. And the area where we are currently located is the place where the stalls are set up in the outer city. Generally, some dark mages have obtained resources in the undead realm, and they are placed here to set up stalls to facilitate the completion of transactions. ”

"Why don't you just sell it to the firm?" Layton wondered.

When Wanba heard this, he talked eloquently, "You don't know about this, first of all, no matter what business bank, it is always purchased at a low price, and secondly, some things have just been discovered, and they don't know its use at all, and they can't easily set the value, so it is conducive to the derivation of this kind of market, and it is better to kill the big boss." ”

Ji Ma gave him a blank look and continued: "Besides, there are twelve major areas that have been explored by the undead realm so far, and there are still many areas that have not been detected. For now, many undead races, natural treasures, etc., have not yet been fully developed. Whoever dares to guarantee that he will know everything. ”

"So, buying something here is a piece of luck. There was once a seventh-order magician who looked away, and the seller blew a rotten flower into a dazzle. The magician didn't think much about buying it with 5,000 Star Spirit Coins, and finally found that the gloomy cemetery of the undead world was full of this kind of flower, which had no practical effect except for being good-looking, and made the seller make a lot of money at that time. ”

Hima paused and continued to explain, "Of course, there are people who make a lot of money here. There was once a buyer who recognized a thousand-year-old soul eater fruit at a stall and easily obtained it with only twenty Star Spirit Coins. You must know that a thousand-year-old soul devouring fruit is the main material for the seventh-order undead to be promoted to the eighth-order undead, and it has no price on the auction house. So, it's all about luck here. ”

Layton dragged his chin in his hand and mused, "I see. In general, a lot of things in the undead world are useful, provided that their value can be developed. And now we are at a stage where we don't understand the specific value, so it's profitable. ”

"It's really smart, and you can make it a little bit. Hima nodded, complimented, and continued, "That's why so many people want to try their luck here." ”

"Then let's hurry up and try our luck!" Wanba said excitedly.

"Okay, we'll have to hurry, we'll have to assemble at the gates in an hour. Hima reminded the two.

For some reason, at the mention of shopping, Layton felt that Jima's eyes were glowing, and her whole body was full of energy.

The three of them wandered around the stall area with great interest, looking east and west, and were very happy.

As he passed by a shop that sold skeleton undead, a voice suddenly sounded in Layton's head.

"Wait a minute, stop. ”

Rayton stopped when he heard this, and looked around for the direction of the sound, and soon discovered the source of the sound—the White Bone Emperor in the Monument of the Dead.

"Benjun sensed that there was a skeleton of my body nearby, so go and look for it. ”

"Hmph, what does it have to do with me. Don't forget that you wanted to take me away, and now you want me to help you find your bones. Could it be that you will increase your strength and continue to murder me in turn, I am not so stupid. Layton frowned, displeased.

All of this conversation took place in Layton's mind, and Hima and Wanba didn't notice it.

"Benjun admits that he did covet your body and wanted to take it away. It's just that now Benjun has changed his mind. The White Bone Emperor paused, lowered his body and said, "There is a better way now, neither to take away your body, nor to let this monarch continue to be sealed in the Monument of the Dead." ”

"Oh, let's hear it. But Layton's face was still full of wariness.

"It's very simple, you help Benjun find the lost bones. This monarch can help you cultivate the Dark Origin Emperor Technique, allowing you to break through to the Holy Rank as soon as possible and break the parasitic spell in your body. ”

"You said it easy, how can I believe you. Layton still didn't look convinced.

"It's simple, equal contract. The White Bone Emperor said calmly.

"Equal contract, how do I know if you're going to cheat. ”

"Bastard, how can this gentleman be a junior. "No matter how good the White Bone Emperor Jun Rao is, he is also a little annoyed at this moment.

"Do you have a better choice? Not to mention that I don't take your body, you won't be able to pass the ancient parasitic spell alone. If nothing else, if you don't reach the Holy Rank within ten years, you will inevitably become a walking corpse, an undead puppet. ”

Hearing this, Layton's body shook suddenly, although his face still did not change, but deep in his heart there were already waves, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"It's just your one-sided words, how can I believe it. ”

"It's simple, dig your consciousness deep into the depths of your soul and you'll find some Stygian Sea Beast sigils. ”

Layton glanced at him, tentatively digging his consciousness deep into the depths of his soul, and sure enough, he found a black mark with a tentacle monster engraved on it, but it was tightly wrapped in a hazy light.

When he saw that mark, Layton actually knew in his heart that the White Bone Emperor had not lied to him.

He didn't have the right to choose, if he didn't agree to him, he would need to worry about the backlash of the White Bone Emperor from time to time. At the moment, the best thing to do is to promise him, sign an equal contract, and slowly slow down.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Leighton quickly made a decision and said simply: "I can promise you, but if I find out that you dare to deceive me, I will destroy this body, and I will not let you succeed." ”

In the darkness, he couldn't see the White Bone Emperor's face clearly, but from his voice, he could tell that he was angry. After all, as the overlord of the undead realm, he is now threatened by a junior, and no one can feel good. In fact, this is also Layton deliberately trying to stimulate him to test whether he really signed an equal contract.

At that moment, the White Bone Emperor suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Then prepare to start." ”

The soul of the White Bone Emperor chanted one after another obscure incantations, as if they came from the distant darkness, and in the darkness, it was like a solemn oath that could not be violated, producing a six-pointed star magic array.

"Primeval Demon God, please listen to my wishes, I, the Emperor of Bones, will make an equal pact with Leighton Harris. From now on, Leighton Harris must do his best to find my bones, and I will teach him the Dark Origin Spell. If there is disobedience, the soul will be scattered. ”

Immediately, the White Bone Emperor separated a wisp of soul fire and merged into the six-pointed star magic array and disappeared. Seeing this, Lei Du made an oath and separated a wisp of soul fire and melted into the six-pointed star magic array.

The five-pointed star magic array in the void received the soul fire of the two, and suddenly it flourished, and the magic continued to flow, forming a brilliant six-pointed star rising into the sky, and then gradually disappearing into the void in his mind.

Layton could feel it, and in the darkness it felt like there was an invisible hand, connecting him to the White Bone Emperor.
