Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tale of the Ghost
"When I was young, my farm was destroyed by the orcs, and my wife and children were taken captive to roast food, and I escaped by narrowly running through an underground secret passage not far from the orc's lair to a place called the Golden Apple Garden, where I got a golden apple, which made me a civilian hero overnight, and I came out of the secret passage and returned to the village, only to find that a giant invasion was taking place in the village. The village chief gave me 300 soldiers, asked me to help him defeat the cliff giants, and promised me a hefty bounty of 5,000 silver coins as long as I could complete the mission. I fought with the cliff giants for three days and three nights, and all 300 soldiers around me died, and I should have died at the hands of the giants like the soldiers, but fortunately, the golden apple at that time gave me a kind of name called 'broken' The ability of my fist can restrain the cliff giant, so that it has not dared to punch me for three days, but the giant's body is indeed too strong, I have exhausted the means and methods and still can't win it, until the last day of the battle, a strong spear shot from the distant sky, accidentally nailed the giant to a boulder, taking this opportunity, I broke its face with a punch, and captured him. "In this way, you are also a character. Bai Quanyu said.
The ghost said: "After I defeated the giant, I went to the village chief to ask for a bounty, but the village chief arranged a crossbowman in the hall to kill me, and ordered a soldier to carry my body back to the dry well in his backyard to bury it. ”
"However, what is the use of knowing your life deeds, I just received a chronicle of the Nolan Empire, and there are many stories written in it. Bai Quanyu continued to stare at him.
At this time, I saw that the ghost suddenly turned from sitting cross-legged to kneeling on one knee, and pleaded: "My lord, the little one has told you so much, I hope that I can return to the adult, please my lord, for the sake of this ghost's unintentional offense and such pitiful sake, give me a chance to live in the next one." ”
Bai Quanyu watched his movements, and almost laughed, he didn't have dragon magic power on his body at all, he didn't expect that he could fool a fool like this? It's too simple, of course, he can't expose the hollowness under his serious appearance at once, and this person also gives him a particularly hypocritical feeling. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You said you want to submit to me, but I heard that most of the heroes will offer their 'sub-hero orders' when they submit to heroes, if you really want to submit to me, what about your sub-hero orders?"
The ghost said sincerely, "Your Excellency, you are right, but after I died, my Hero Order was gone, so I can't offer you the Sub-Hero Order. ”
He touched his chin, thought for a while, and asked, "Then are you now a soldier or a hero?" “
"You can only surrender as a soldier. “
The ghost suddenly changed his words and said, "If the adults are willing to help me, I have a way to change back to being a hero." “
"You said you could turn back into a hero?"
"Yes, if the adults are willing to help, I have a way to turn me back into a hero. “
He thought for a moment and replied, "For the sake of you being the first person willing to mess with me, I am naturally willing to help you, but how to help you." ”
"As long as the adults can help me find a hero who is almost dying, and when the time comes, the adults kill him in front of me, and I will have a way to take his body and the hero to return to life. “
"Isn't this the rumored snatching?"
"What is a snatch?"
Bai Quanyu waved his hand and said, "No, you don't have to care about my words. “
The ghost continued, "The conditions for seizing the body are very harsh, and it must be completed within 1 minute after the opponent's soul leaves the body, so I asked the adults to capture him and kill him in person.
After listening to it, he thought to himself: It seems that the success rate of this seizure is also very low, when he obtained Bai Quanyu's body, it took him 3 hours to know where the hands are, where the feet are, where the heart is, and where the mind is.
"Brother Ghost, don't you think it's good to be a soldier, what kind of general and hero, in fact, I think you are very promising to be a small soldier by my side. ”
The Ghost understood what he meant, and his faith in his sacrifice was very low, but he wanted to return to this world more than anyone else.
"My lord, I am willing to take risks, I have been at the bottom of the well for more than 10 years, and I have occupied no less than 100 peasant bodies, from the first seven or eight hours of adaptation, to now it only takes 30 seconds to fully master the other party's body structure. ”
"You mean, you've taken the bodies of more than 100 people, and what about the hard things I stepped on ......?"
The ghost smiled coldly and said, "Yes, they are all the corpses of some foolish peasants, oh no, they were all sent by some people who have killed themselves. ”
He cast his gaze on his expression, he had already seen that this ghost had been making up lies, in fact, after his death, it had been secretly building a magic circle for magic sucking, and then secretly tricked the farmers of Shell Village into the well to practice taking the house, including Bai Quanyu, who had just fallen, was also the object of his seizure, but he was lucky enough to burn him out with dragon magic power, otherwise, with the speed and method of his practice of 100 bodies, it was absolutely possible to kill him in 1 minute.
Although it describes how honest it is from beginning to end, how it is cheated by others, how it encounters all kinds of misfortunes, and how it sincerely wants to serve itself, and even tells the secret of the Golden Apple Garden directly in order to win his trust, but he is not a fool, although he was led by the nose by its story at the beginning, but in the end he still knows that this person is not a person who can be collected, and he also knows that this ghost is using him to help it be reborn, judging from his ability to defeat the cliff giant, its ability is probably far above Watt, so once he is reborn, the object of submission will probably be replaced on the spot。
But now he can't refuse its surrender, because if he refuses, this ghost is likely to know that he has been recognized, thus forcing its prototype to be exposed, and in this way, he will be in trouble, because there are only a few drops of dragon magic left in Bai Quanyu's body, and it is not enough to burn someone's arm, so he has been pretending to be serious, which is just to scare him. He thought about it for a long time, and finally spoke: "No matter what, I think I have to help you, if I don't help you, who else can help you, isn't it, but I have to put your name in my hero order first." ”
The ghost's eyes panicked, and he suddenly changed his words: "My situation is quite special, if I am now earned, I will only be recorded as a second-order ghost soldier, so please first ask the adults to find a dying hero for me, and I will be included in your hero order after I am reborn." ”
He sneered in his heart, he didn't know what it was thinking, but after all, it was a disguise, and he didn't care, so he continued: "That's it, there's no way to do it, then it's up to you." But it's hard to find a hero who is dying soon, and you know, heroes are the rarest class in the world......"
The ghost drifted into his ear and whispered, "I know there's a place here where a hero is imprisoned. Before he became a hero, he had killed a lion with his bare hands, killed a tiger, climbed a cliff and attacked the marching Draconian army, and was later captured by the general who guarded the village of Shell and imprisoned in a secret prison. ”
"A secret prison?"
"That's right! He's in the Shell Arsenal right now, and there's a prison made of steel, and he was already well-known by the time I went back to Shell Village. ”
Bai Quanyu was secretly happy, but said quietly: "How can there be an arsenal in this kind of place, and what kind of realm that person is, he can fight with lions and tigers when he was a peasant, I don't dare to imagine how strong his strength is." ”
"It should be the pinnacle of the C-rank! As for the arsenal, you don't have to be surprised, after all, the high-ranking of Tianlong often carries out some unknown plans in various villages."
He coughed dryly and said, "I'm thinking, although my current strength is no problem to mess with you, after all, you are a ghost, and you don't have any attack power, but if you want to mess with that guy, it's still a shortcoming." ”
The ghost said anxiously, "What is missing, sir." ”
He smiled slyly and said, "Shortcomings can help me overcome his treasures." ”
He then sighed and said: "Hey, after all, it's quite difficult, people have been famous for 10 years, and it's not easy to deal with, I don't think it's okay, you can be a ghost soldier, I'm naturally afraid of Hercules." ”
The ghost hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't, don't, my lord, I have treasures to help you defeat him." His eyelids jumped, and he said lightly, "What good treasures can you have,
The ghost 'flickered', and suddenly drilled into the wall of the well, only to see that after a while, a golden circle of light appeared on the wall of the well, Bai Quanyu took a closer look, and found that there seemed to be a hole behind this circle.
After a while, I saw the ghost holding a set of silver-white armor in both hands and sent it out, the moment he saw the armor, his eyes lit up, the process of creating this armor, at a glance, you can know that it comes from the hands of a famous teacher, the structure of the armor is rigorous, the stitching is delicate, and the color of the armor is dull but reveals a noble aura, which is by no means an ordinary soldier can afford to wear.
The ghost said, "This is the armor that was given to me by a general who guarded the Shell Village when I returned to the Heavenly Dragon, and it can be sold for dozens of silver coins in the market. “
"Worth dozens of silver coins! Baby, what a baby. “
Bai Quanyu took the armor ecstatically, and kept stroking his hands back and forth on the armor.
