"Mr. Shieldling," Roy asked, "you just said it was willing to surrender?"

The shield spirit nodded, and said with a sigh: "Many years ago, an ancestor of our clan had the opportunity to catch a demon reaper, but unfortunately it fell short in the end. ☆→☆→, I didn't expect your luck to be so good. Several conditions that are unique in 10,000 were put together, and it was easy to catch it. ”

"Luck, luck. Roy smiled modestly.

Indeed, according to the shield spirit, it was really lucky that he was able to catch this demon reaper. If it weren't for the mutation in the Dark Basin, if it weren't for the fact that he had the Light Antidote Pill, if he didn't happen to be a necromancer, if he wasn't here and now, he was afraid that such a good thing would fall ten million times, and he might not be able to hit his head.

And as a child, living in the gnome's agency city, Roy is no stranger to the dwarf warlock summoning demons to help fight. I know very well that a demon with a fighting style that suits him and has special abilities is so terrifying for the enemy.

It can be said that most of the combat power of a dwarf warlock depends on the strength of summoning demons.

A powerful demon can increase the combat power of a dwarf warlock by several times, or even dozens of times. There are many examples of low-level warlocks defeating high-level mages and knights as a result.

And this little devil, although the body is fragile. But the mere ability to release the clouds was enough to make Roy's heart itch.

Roy couldn't wait to ask, "By the way, you just said that this guy is willing to surrender?" Does that mean that I can sign a demonic contract with it?"

"Yes," the shield spirit nodded, "There are two types of demon summoning techniques. One is a random summon and the other is a contract summon. ”

He explained, "Random summoning is a temporary secret technique to summon an abyss demon. Its level depends on the level of the summoner and luck. An example of summoning a low-level demon after spending precious materials. Not in the minority. However, it is also possible to summon a very powerful being. ”

As he spoke, the shield spirit pointed at the demon reaper and said, "And if a powerful demon can be subdued, then people are more willing to use the contract summoning technique. As long as you sign a contract with it. Then, it will be your companion for the rest of your life. ”

"However, I'll have to tell you about its pros and cons," Seeing Roy's eyes shining, the shield spirit decided to pour cold water on it first, "Let's talk about the disadvantages first." ”

"First of all, the demon's contract is unique," the shield spirit said, "That is. In this life, you can only make a contract with one demon. ”

"Oh?" Roy asked, puzzled, "but I've seen someone summon a demon squad at once." ”

"Not to mention a demon, even if you summon an army of demons, it's not unusual. The shield spirit shook his head and said, "However, in that case, it is because the summoner has signed a contract with a powerful demon. He actually only has a contract with this demon. The other demons are the vassals of this powerful demon. between them. It is a contractual relationship separately. ”

As he spoke, the shield spirit said seriously, "That's because of that. We gnomes are very cautious in choosing contract demons. Powerful demons must be chosen. Otherwise, I'd rather risk the unknown and use random summoning than casually sign a contract with a low-level demon. ”

"Then it'......" Roy looked at the guy. It's just a first-level demon.

"So, this is something you need to think about," Shield Spirit said.

Roy looked at the little devil and thought to himself.

After all, he is not a warlock who relies on demons to fight, therefore. The idea of summoning an army of demons is appealing, but it's far less practical than the one in front of you who can unleash the clouds. Besides, it is not easy to conquer a powerful demon and make it willingly sign a contract.

He threw the question aside and asked, "What other shortcomings does it have?"

Shield Spirit said: "Secondly, according to our experience, if the demon leaves the abyss, his strength will decrease. It should be no exception. At least, without the addition of these abyssal powers, the scale and power of the clouds it unleashed would not have been so great. ”

Roy nodded. He can accept that.

"Third, after each summon, the demon needs at least three days to rest and store his strength. This guy mainly relies on the power of transforming the abyss to release the clouds, and I think it will be silent for longer than other summoned demons. Most importantly, its ontology is very fragile. Once someone is sent back to the abyss, you won't even want to summon it to fight for at least a year. ”

Roy thought for a moment and smiled, "None of this is a problem. ”

"Of course," said the shield spirit, "this is the first Demon Reaper ever captured, after all. No matter what, this opportunity cannot be missed. I'm just saying this to prepare you. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Tell me about its advantages." First and foremost, of course, there are clouds. Although this thing has a fire source pill restraint. But who would usually carry the Fire Source Pill with them? With the undead warrior and your realm, ordinary people only have the share of escaping. ”

"Secondly, this thing works wonders against an army of size. A dark cloud, more effective than any kind of large-scale magic. As it happens, you're still a magician. It works even better if you use wind magic or water magic. ”

"Third, its power may decline from the outside, but this abyss is its home field. With it, you can probably walk sideways!"

What the shield spirit said, Roy had actually thought about it a long time ago.

However, he still listened to the shield spirit happily, and was more or less satisfied.

The communication between the shield spirit and Roy is all about knowing the sea. The soul link of the Roytong guò skeleton can be seen, and several machine spirits can also see it.

However, if you want to sign a contract, you can't rely on a few skeleton soldiers.

At Roy's command, the skeleton soldiers escorted the Demon Reaper out of the cave and towards the Stone Forest.

As the shield spirit said, most of the demonic reaper's power lies in the clouds, and a small part lies in its eerie roots.

And the skeleton soldier was not afraid of the clouds, not to mention, and also cut off at least hundreds of its rhizomes in the previous battle, and it was not shallowly injured.

The little devil was escorted down the mountain.

In front of a Death Knight Commander and two Skeleton Generals. It didn't even have a chance to escape.

When he walked up to Roy, the little devil looked pitiful.

Above its sharp fangs, which protruded from the corners of its mouth, were large, frightened, helpless, teary eyes. His ears drooped, and his hands hung honestly on the sides of his fat body.

The lower body, which was originally composed of hundreds or thousands of blood vines, had turned into the shape of the lower limbs of ordinary little demons. However, it is shorter, and the soles of a pair of feet with long claws are slightly inward, forming an inner figure-eight.

If you are soft-hearted, I am afraid that when you look at its appearance, you will not bear to do anything to it.

However, Roy knew how terrible this guy was.

If it hadn't been for the fast running, I'm afraid that the Ice Star Squad, plus several other mercenary squads, would have been wiped out in this stone forest.

Present. Roy followed the contract technique taught by the shield spirit, bit his finger, mobilized his magic, and drew a six-pointed star in the air, while reciting a spell. A drop of blood turned into a slender strand, driven by a mysterious force, forming a series of symbols.

Moments later, the six-pointed star turned into a contract phantom filled with strange words. Flew towards the little devil's eyebrows.

Looking at the contract, a trace of struggle flashed in the little devil's eyes. But. After seeing Roy and the skeletal leader staring at him, the spikes on its back slowly fell, and it closed its eyes in obedience, allowing the contract to burrow into its brow.

A blinding light bloomed.

Roy saw between himself and the little devil's divine sense. Thin lines of blood appeared. The blood line is like a net, and there are mysterious symbols sealed on it.

In the middle of the symbol, the phantom of the contract was silently suspended.

Soon, the flickering symbol disappeared into the contract paper, and then. A mysterious soul link is generated between Roy and the little demon. At this moment, Roy not only had complete control over what the little demon was thinking, but also knew its real name.

Munda Berridge Batanriales Consver............

It's a name made up of more than 1,200 bytes.

The true names of the demons were formed naturally from their birth, like a code of bloodline inheritance. True names are the fatal crux of demons, their most precious secrets. In their lifetime, they will not tell anyone their real names.

Because, as long as you grasp its true name, it is equivalent to mastering its life and death. Even a small child who is powerless can kill them lightly.

This is why, among the many human summoning companions such as war pets and undead creatures, demons are the only ones that are bound by a guò contract. As long as the real name is revealed when the contract is formed, there is no possibility of reversal. Of course, if the contract is led by itself, then the person who signed the contract cannot see its real name.

When the name came to mind, Roy immediately felt a natural affinity with the little devil. It's like blood is connected.

"By my true name, Munda will always be loyal to you, my master. Instead of saluting, the little devil hugged Roy's thigh, his fangs bulging, and his big eyes flashing and shining.

The language of the little devil is the language of the devil. But after connecting with Roy's soul, Roy was naturally able to understand its words.

It's just that such a allegiance ceremony made Roy cry and laugh.

This little guy actually swore an oath.

"Don't let this guy fool," the shield spirit laughed, "The devil's lies are more famous than our gnomes. ”

"You mean, "What Roy is screwing up on is fake?"

The little devil drooped his head like a poor puppy.

"Not really," said the shield spirit, "that you have signed a contract, and it will not lie when it takes its oath. However, you have to understand that since it has signed a contract with you, it doesn't really matter if you say it or not. Have you ever heard of the Devil's Allegiance Ritual?"

Roy was so smart that when he heard this, he remembered it.

"This little thing is currying favor with me?"

The shield spirit smiled, "I didn't expect it. Its IQ is not the same as that of its companions who have not opened their minds, and in terms of intelligence, it is probably not worse than that of a tenth-level demon. Even if you sign a contract, you just have to watch out for this guy, not because of his betrayal, but because of ......"

As he spoke, the shield spirit shook his head: "It's better for you to experience it yourself in the future." ”

Roy put the little demon down and communicated with his divine sense: "Your name is too long, I will call you a little thing in the future." ”

The little devil lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, "Yes, my master." ”

"I have a few questions for you," Roy smiled slightly, staring into the little thing's eyes, "First question, what the hell is going on in this dark basin......"

One question, one answer. A few minutes later, as a few questions came down, the expression on Roy's face became extremely complicated.

The little thing is the embodiment of the essence of the abyss and the representative of the will of the abyss. Just like the forest is to an elf, it has an almost instinctive understanding of the abyss since it was born. It's fair to say that this place is like its backyard.

Through the answer of the little thing, Roy knew that this dark basin was really composed of sections. And there are a total of seventy-seven and forty-nine sections in the entire dark basin. There are twenty-four in the periphery, sixteen in the middle, eight in the central area, and one in the core area.

Originally, these sections were fixed. But every time the abyss closes, the Dark Basin changes. Or partially, or completely, each section is exchanged and moved, and even the small things do not know the law of change.

What shocked Roy was that these section changes were not naturally formed. Instead, someone turned the entire Dark Basin into a large array guarding the ruins of the Abyss.

The Abyssal Ruins, right in the center of the basin. It was a snow-white mountain with a red peak.

Normally, no one is able to see the peak.

It doesn't seem to exist in the third layer of the abyss, and even if you dig a thousand miles into the ground, you can't find any trace of it.

Only when the abyss closes, the great array of the Dark Basin is activated, and this mysterious mountain rises from the ground.

The entrance to the ruins, located at the base of the peak. To go up, you need to go through a series of criss-crossing passages.

When talking about the ruins of the abyss, the little thing shows two completely different feelings: yearning and fear. It seems that there is something in it that has a fatal attraction to demons. But at the same time, there is also a power that poses a great threat to demons.

And since the ruins have existed, no demon has ever entered.

The ruins are protected by a magical wall. This magic wall is very powerful. Even some rank eight demons couldn't break through the protection of the ruins.

"Rank 8 Demon?" Roy was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "In the third layer of the Abyss, is there an existence of an Rank 8 Demon?"

"Yes, master. The little thing replied respectfully, "Every time the well of the abyss is opened, some powerful lords and generals will take the opportunity to climb up from the main well. ”

"Oh?" Roy's expression became a little solemn.

He knew that the well of the abyss was the passage in the depths of the cave where the little thing was just now, surging with red mist. It's just that it is an ordinary secondary well, there are eight in total, distributed in all directions of the dark basin. The only main well is located in the core of the basin.

This passage is bottomless, communicating with the deepest part of the abyss. The abyss will only open when it is closed.

However, Roy didn't expect that this well of the abyss would not only transport its calm qi to all layers of the abyss when the powerful beings at the bottom died, but also demons would take the opportunity to run up.

This gave him a sense of foreboding.

was digesting the information transmitted by the little thing, and suddenly, the corner of Roy's eyes jumped, and he seemed to have swept something in his afterglow.

He turned his head quickly.

A snow-white mountain with a red top met his widening eyes...... (To be continued......)
