Chapter 29: Ed the Undead (Part II)
In the process of chopping the bones to go, a large pile of bones was scattered throughout the hall.
"This road. ”
The green ghost Ed (Eder) points to the side of the wall.
Once Darion (Darian) went through all the bones, he found that there was indeed a door.
"I don't think it's a trap," Conou said, looking at Ed suspiciously.
"Of course not. ”
Ed waved his hand.
"Honey, you go in first. ”
He complained, but he went anyway.
Darion cautiously opened the door and entered, saying, "There are no traps. ”
"You go first. Conou said that he pushed Ed with his demonic sword.
Ed (Eder) went first, and Conou followed him.
Just like the name of the dungeon, it is a laboratory.
Bookshelves are filled with all sorts of unknown drugs, and tables are littered with specialized books on drugs or magic.
On the one hand, Ed's body was completely frozen and kept in a glass tube.
"I'll ...... Have that skeleton over there. ”
Ed pointed to a skeleton in a doctor's robe.
"You know what happens to me if you cross me, right?" Conou asked.
"Of course. ”
Ed enters the skeleton and it becomes reality.
"Please sit down. ”
Ed pointed to the table and chair.
Conou, Darien, and Eder sat at the table.
Ed said, "I need some tea... I wasn't ready for this because it's been a long time since I last hosted guests. ”
Although the jaws of the bones remain fixed, they can still hear sounds from the head.
"Who cares. Give me the money!"
"Yes, I'll give you money. As a therapist, I get a lot. ”
"How much?"
"I used some of that money to fund my research, but there should still be about 5,000 gold coins. ”
Conou
5,000 Coins!
That's 50 million yuan. (〜$50,000)
"Good. If you give me fifty million, I won't kill you," Conou said.
"In exchange..."
"In exchange?"
Conou frowned and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
"Please do me a favor," Ed said.
Conou is ambivalent
"It would be a painful thing, but if it could be exchanged for 5,000 gold coins. ”
He really just wanted to kill Edel and get over it.
However, at the mention of 5,000 gold coins, he couldn't make an easy decision.
"Let's hear what you're going to say first," Conou said.
"Please move my body to Deborah's temple, Goddess of Death. If you do this for me, I'll be happy to give you 5000 gold. ”
Once he's finished, a task window pops up.
[transporting Eddard's body]
Ed did everything he could to heal himself, but nothing worked.
Now he has only one choice. He must find the goddess of death and beg for forgiveness.
If you move Ed's body to Deborah's temple goddess of death, you will receive a great fortune.
Difficulty: Nightmare
Conditions: Ed's body must remain intact.
Reward: 5,000 gold. Books on medicine and witchcraft.
Failure: Eder's body cannot remain intact, otherwise Edel will become an evil spirit.
Conou, who read the details of the mission, drew his sword.
"What kind of pursuit is this!?"
Does he look like he knows what Deborah's temple is like?
No one knows exactly where it is.
All he knew was rumors. It's located somewhere mean, on the border of hell.
What kind of place is meanness?
Shen Songshen (Song Lishen), a professor of geography at Peking University, is unable to change his location and is currently researching the topography and geography of Alth as another user.
His published article "Alth is bigger than China" contains information about Alth's topography and geography and is a global bestseller.
Of course, Conou also read it.
In this book, Song Lishen chooses seven of the most dangerous places in Arth, and the "hellish hell" despicable is definitely one of them.
Of course, Song Lishen himself has never been mean. He read all kinds of literature on the matter, listened to the speeches of the National People's Congress, and then guessed what meanness looks like.
As hell, Despicable contains monsters that are at least level 300 and is a place with no sunlight.
In addition, Song Lishen suspects that the environment is so harsh that no one or user can survive indoors.
It's just a hypothesis, so it could be even worse than he suspects.
In other words, he needs to reach at least level 300 to enter the mean, which will take a long time.
There are a lot of questions. If Edel is killed by another user, or if he has any problems with his body, or if he has a change of heart and goes into hiding, it's basically pointless.
Instead of solving all the troubles, kill Edel and get at least the first reward for clearing the hidden dungeon.
"Rest in peace!"
Conou, who had decided, swung his sword.
"Ahh
The chair he had been sitting in was split in half.
If Eder can't avoid a blow soon, he should now be the one split in two, not the table.
"Well, you dodged. ”
Conou approached Eder, exuding murderous intent.
"I'll give you 1,000 gold in advance!" Ed said hastily.
Ddook.
Conou, who had been preparing for a follow-up attack, stopped.
"1000 gold?"
"Yes, a thousand gold! Even if you take everything here, you won't make a hundred gold!"
Cono used the tip of his sword to push the skeleton's jaw (owned by Eder) upwards.
"And there's no time limit to complete the task?"
"Yes!"
"If you become a demon, then I will kill you. ”
Cono wields the Demon Sword.
"Yes. ”
"Okay. If you give me a thousand gold, I will accept it. ”
"I understand. ”
The contract is formed!
Ed (Eder)'s secret laboratory has a secret passage to Altan's mansion.
The floor of the mansion's fireplace opened, and Conou, Darien, and Ed walked through the fireplace.
"I occasionally use this channel to buy books or medicines. ”
The skeleton where he lived was pulled by a robe, and was obscured by a white smiling face.
"This is where I lived a long time ago," Ed added.
"Is this house expensive?" asked Conou.
"They said it was haunted, so it was cheap. ”
"Hurry up, tell me where the money is. Cono, who lost all interest in the mansion, said.
As soon as they left the mansion, they were greeted by the crowded streets of Altan.
"I'm going to leave here and go back to the Colosseum," Darien said. ”
"Okay. See you tomorrow. ”
Conou was so focused on 1,000 gold that he didn't worry about Darion at all.
As Con'ou forced him to stay, Darien quickly disappeared from the crowd.
"Let's go," Conou urged.
"Yes. ”
Ed (Eder) led him to Diana Bank (Diana Bank).
Diana Bank was the first bank and therefore has a long history.
Perhaps that's why the Altan branch of Diana Bank is equipped with a tower clock and is such a luxurious building.
Its trademark, with a coat of arms with a scale and a shield, corresponds to its regal status.
"How can I help you?"
Conou and Edel walked up to the front desk and were greeted by a bank clerk.
"I came with an item that was stored in my personal safe. ”
Ed pulled out a fist-sized gold coin and held it out.
The seal of Diana Banks (Diana Bank) with a scale and shield on it and the number 1403 engraved on the other side.
"Let me call my manager. ”
The manager didn't ask them any questions and just started guiding them towards Eder's safe.
They passed through a passage guarded by security guards and were left on a door without handles.
The manager said, "Please insert the coin." ”
Looking more closely, there is indeed a large enough coin slot inside the door.
As soon as Ed (Eder) inserts the coin, the door opens.
"Then I'm leaving. ”
The manager left.
"Let's go inside," Ed said.
"Hmm. That's weird. Conou muttered as he walked.
There is only one door there, but the safe is connected to another area, depending on the coin to be inserted.
"This is a private safe developed by Archmage Acelini (Achelini). Diana Bank is very proud of this," said Ed Kang, hearing from Ed Kang (Conou).
"And the gold coin is a magical artifact, so it won't activate unless it's used by its proper owner. ”
So what he said was that stealing coins by force would not work.
"What, did you call me a thief?"
Con frowned.
“...”
To him, Conou was a thief.
A thief stole from a ghost!
In any case, there is another door inside the personal safe.
Door with lock.
Edel was about to enter the numbers, but stopped.
This is because Conou is staring at the lock.
"What?" Conou asked, continuing to stare at him.
This is a clear indication that he is not going to turn his head.
"Oops. ”
Ed simply sighed, as if he didn't approve, but despite this, he entered the safe deposit box number.
When the door was opened, it opened.
A golden light shot out from within, and once the door was fully opened, he saw a neat pile of gold bars worth 100 gold.
There are more than 50 of them!
It is actually worth more than 50 million yuan.
"Hey!"
Therefore, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Conor and Eder quarrel inside the safe.
"Give me 1,000 gold first!"
"You have to accept the assignment first," Ed replied.
Conou felt that if Eder had accepted the quest first, he would not have given him 1,000 gold in advance.
And Eder felt that if he gave Conou 1,000 gold now, then he would take it with him and not accept the task.
"It's different from what you told me. You must have said that you would give me an advance of a thousand gold. ”
"You must accept my request to move you forward. ”
Conou gripped the hilt of his sword.
Since Eder is afraid of the Demon Sword, if he threatens him with it, then Edel will definitely give up.
However...
[The use of weapons is prohibited here.] ]
Unfavorable news appeared.
"Combat skills, weapons, and items cannot be used in a person's personal safe!" said Ed proudly.
"Damn. I told you, if you gave me a thousand gold, I would take it!"
"Nope. How can I trust you? So please accept this task. Then I'll give you 1000 gold coins. ”
"I'm even starting to trust you!!"
Their arguments are like two parallel lines that will never intersect.
"Damn skeletons!"
"This sword-wielding thief!"
Conou and Eder stared at each other and continued to fight.
But then, Ed sighed.
"Good. I admit it. ”
As much as he doesn't like Conou, Eder has more to lose by being sent away.
He was tired and lonely, a result of the fact that he had been a ghost for so long. In addition, he had no way to treat his body.
If he lets go of Conou, then he's alone.
"Good choice. Give me 1,000 gold. ”
Conor held out his hand.
However, instead of giving money, Ed gave him something.
[Edel votes for the add-on.] Can you allow it?]
Like a witch who stays in an area forever, a ghost can attach itself to someone and follow them.
In other words, it's like the relationship between a needle and a thread.
"What is this..."
Conou, who was about to be cursed, gained control of himself.
He's the boss's monster. In addition, he used to be a very famous therapist.
In other words, isn't he useful enough to walk with him?
"HP value. Can you fight?" Conou asked, changing the subject.
"Yes. My necromancy is better than normal necromancy. I can cast all kinds of curses, and of course, I specialize in bone magic," Ed replied.
"What level are you at?"
“429。 ”
"What?"
Conou felt he had misheard.
"My physical level is 429. In this skeleton, I can only exert about 80 of my strength. ”
"Can your level go up?"
"I can't be level. ”
"Then it's hard to take him for a long time. ”
In other words, he will eventually become a burden.
"In exchange, if you get a more powerful undead corpse, I can use more power," Ed said. ”
"The Body ...... of the Mighty Undead"
"It's like a lich who has lost a lifeboat. ”
"Let's think positively here, even if we fight together, he won't have any experience.
Cono is gradually warming up to this idea.
"Can you cure too?"
"I can't, as long as I don't retract my body. ”
'This is terrible!'
Ed was once a legendary healer!
If he can also be cured, then he can make some money with illegal medical treatment.
In any case, Eder is definitely useful. And he also has a lot of money.
"I have one last question. If you are attached to me, will you do your best when I fight?"
"If you do your best to find Deborah's Temple!"
"Good. ”
Conou decided to work as hard as a horse. Like Darian!
However, if he is not careful, it is clear that Ed (Eder), like Darion (Darian), will fight against his orders, disobey him or run around.
"If that's the case......"
"Write a contract!"
Conou took a piece of paper from his inventory.
This is the goddess of contracts, the contracts of Sabra. On the back of the paper there is a pot and bottle representing the goddess.
If a contract is signed through Sabra's contract, the game will check if the contract is maintained.
Anyone who violates the contract will be penalized if they do not comply with the contract.
Of course, because of its powerful effects, it cannot be used lightly.
If the contracts are mandatory, unfair, or torn apart, they will be judged accordingly.
The punishment after this assessment is no laughing matter!
"Therefore, you need to do your best to comply with the contract. ”
Conou took out a pen and began to write down the details.
Ed watched from his side.
After the contract was written, Conou signed next to his name.
"Good, right?"
"Yes. ”
Ed nodded, signing next to his name.
The letters engraved on the Sabra Contract began to go dark.
There are no lines that have been deleted.
If there are unfair or inhumane conditions, such as "absolute obedience without any strings attached." or "You will be my eternal slave", then the system will automatically remove these conditions. Not to mention that the contract will be null and void.
However, there were no problems with Conou's contract.
The contract became two, containing the same information as recorded in the Sabra contract.
Both Conou and Eder have checked their contracts separately.
The contents of the contract are as follows.
1. Conou (the former) and Eder (the latter) entered into a contract with the following conditions:
2. The former allows the latter to be attached to him, while the former accepts the latter's demands.
3. The latter will give the former an advance payment of 1,000 gold.
4. The latter, subordinate to the former, will take an active part in the battles of the former and will do their best to assist the former.
5. The latter will undoubtedly obey the former in battle. However, the former's order must be both reasonable and appropriate.
6. The former will do its best to complete the task of the latter. However, if the former has a reasonable and proper reason to postpone the completion of the task, they may do so.
7. If you violate the above statement or break the contract, you will be punished by the other party.
8. After the former completes the task, the contract is completed. However, if the parties reach an agreement before then, the contract can be cancelled.
9. This contract has been notarized by Sabra (Sabra), the goddess of contracts.
[Under contract, Eder is attached to you.] Now, Eder will follow you.
[According to the contract, you have received 1000 gold.] ]
"A thousand gold!"
Kang Ou clenched his fists and asked for 10 million yuan.
At that moment, Eder seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "If you had Sabra's contract, didn't you use it in the first place?"
"Ahh
Conou's face became dazed for a moment.
Seeing this, Ed looked a little dumbfounded.
You fool!
"Hmph. ”
Con Ou shook his head.
Then...!
Edel couldn't see, but Con'ou's expression changed.
He was giggling.
He must be smiling.
Very evil about it!
