Chapter 2: Dragon Treasure
Shadows silently coalesced in the corners, wisps of black mist tumbling and surging on the ground, slowly rising around the sacrificial altar, and finally forming an impenetrable black shadow in the sky above.
This strange scene and evil posture are like the appearance of the final boss in the game.
Ashley seemed to have a telepathy, and she cautiously turned her head, and sure enough, she saw the "god" she once believed in.
"Shadow Dragon" Hakarin was still the same, only one eye appeared from the vast shadow, and then with the momentum of a king with dragon might, he looked at Lin You in front of him.
"I thought it was who, but it turned out to be you again!"
Hakarin's first sentence gave Lin You the feeling of seeing an old acquaintance, and also dispelled the faint concerns in his heart.
He thought that Hakarin would come up and ask about the soul of "Spring", but he didn't expect that this guy didn't care, and he didn't even look at the soul box for a while.
"Hello, God of Shadows, we're meeting again," Lin You approached it very familiarly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much!" ”
"Humph! Is it? Hakarin's big eyes were full of distrust, "I'm busy, human! I don't have time to make small talk with you. ”
"I'm not gossiping!"
Lin You stepped forward and pushed the soul box forward, "With a pious heart, with a prayer and gratitude for the grace of God, I offer my soul to the great God of Shadows, and I beg for a gift, please 'God' for a favor!" ”
He pretended to fold his hands and bowed twice.
"Humph!" Hakarin sneered, "That's a nice thing to say......"
"Hehe," Lin You smiled maliciously, rubbing his hands like flies, "Look, I'm so religious, you can take this soul, and then throw me something you don't like, give me more, I can accept it!" ”
Hakarin's eyes fell on the soul box, and he said in a sullen voice: "You guy, you can play new tricks every time...... 'Eighth Illusory Sun' is a loyal executor of the sect, you killed him, and you still dare to ask me for a reward, I really don't know if you are stupid or bold." ”
"No, I'm neither stupid nor bold, hehe, it's based on trust and worship of your dragon product!"
Lin You grinned and patted the "dragon fart" with no bottom line, bent on getting the reward in his hand.
Hakarin naturally knew what was going on in this man's head, and he wouldn't believe his "faith", but he just felt that this human being, although greedy, spoke quite nicely......
"Hmph, you're really different as a human being, I haven't seen you for a few days, this encounter is actually in the realm of the gods, if I hadn't seen that familiar box, I thought it was a god who deliberately angered me......"
Its eyes looked around, "Divine Domain that I've never seen before, this can't be yours, right?" ”
"How can I do this!" Lin You explained, "This divine domain has been broken like this, and there is only this place left, so I will borrow it." ”
"Borrowed? I think it's occupied! What about the 'God'? ”
"Uh...... He's dead. ”
"Hehehe...... You daredevil fellow! ”
Hakarin smiled heartily, and Lin You seemed to understand something when he saw his reaction.
He asked tentatively, "Don't you like the Eternal Sect's plan to 'create gods'?" ”
"Of course!" Hakarin replied very dryly, "Isn't the gift and protection of the ten demon gods enough?" These humans are always thinking about expanding their power, and I don't like it! ”
Lin You was overjoyed after hearing this, "Then ......!" ”
Seeing his eager little eyes, Hakarin exhaled heavily, "Forget it! No more with you! ”
Lin You nodded vigorously in agreement, with a look of anticipation, he liked the boss who paid the money quickly.
"Tell me, what gift do you want for this soul sacrifice?"
"What kind of gift do you want...... Lin You was slightly stunned, "Huh?" Can this still be wished? ”
"Of course not, but you can talk about it, maybe I have something in my collection."
"Then I'll have to think about it!" Lin You lowered his head and thought about it.
There are a lot of things you want, but if you let him choose only one, it will be tangled.
"I'll have to think about it!"
Lin You wandered around the room, walking round and round, and after a long while, he still didn't come up with it, Hakarin's eyes followed him, and his eyes were dizzy, and finally he was a little impatient.
It urged, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
"Don't worry!" Lin You turned his head and his gaze happened to fall on Ashley, who was staying on the side, and then he thought of what reward he should want.
"Hakarin," Lin You said, pointing at Ashley and turning to the Shadow Dragon, "I want her to eat like a normal human, can you do that?" ”
"Huh?" When Hakarin and Ashley heard this, they were surprised.
(?′?`?)
"The hosts! You are willing to spend such a precious time on me! It's not the first time, but it's still impressive! ”
Ashley covered her mouth and wiped away her non-existent tears, looking pitiful.
Hakarin's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and it also felt a little unbelievable.
"Human, you're wasting a precious opportunity...... Why such a request? If you want a puppet that you can manipulate, I've got something more for you here. ”
After speaking, under the control of its magic power, three humanoid monsters came out of the shadows, their whole bodies were pitch black, and they couldn't see their facial features, if they were hidden in the shadows, they must be difficult to find.
"This is the Shadow Assassins, the amorphous shadow creatures, infiltrating and assassinating are their forte, and similarly, they can also be used as dark sentinels, placed anywhere without being detected, this ...... What do you think? ”
"This is really good!" Lin You nodded, "However, I still want Ashley to restore her basic human sense, at least to taste the food, which is what I once promised her." ”
"Master......" Ashley listened silently on the side, and was moved.
However, Hakarin shook his head, "No, I don't have that ability, she's just a puppet, and there's no way to do things that go against the rules like giving life, but-"
"But what?" Lin You asked.
"—but you can make her a self-discipline puppet. This kind of puppet is different from ordinary puppets, it can imitate all the life activities of living beings with a high degree of self-discipline, including basic perception and complex thinking ability, almost no different from humans, and at the same time abandon the weakness of human beings who are too fragile, it is difficult to be completely killed, I think, this self-discipline puppet may be what you need. ”
"Yes, that's it!" Lin You became excited, "Can you do it?" ”
But Hakarin's answer disappointed him, "No, I've only heard of this kind of puppet, I haven't seen it, and I can't help you, about the self-discipline puppet, maybe you can go to the City of Machines and find the answer." ”
"City of Machines?" Lin You remembered his charged gun from the Machine City, "Okay, I remember!" ”
"So, choose what you want!"
Hakarin said in a roaring voice, "Wealth, power, or power? Is it a weapon for bathing in divine grace? Or is it a drug that gives you great powers? Or is it the all-powerful Shadow Force? Make a choice! ”
Facing the urging of the "Demon God", Lin You glanced at those shadow assassins.
They are indeed strong and appealing, but they are not necessary.
Compared with the shadow assassin who is suitable for assassination, Lin You prefers to have some power that can be obtained on the surface, with deterrent power when necessary, and combat effectiveness in times of emergency.
This kind of power is what Lin You lacks at present.
So, he pitched his idea to the Shadow Dragon.
"I want a team that is absolutely obedient, they can be non-human, but they have to be absolutely strong, and they have to be able to put themselves in front of everyone, eh...... No consumption is even better. ”
Hakarin blinked his eyes and replied leisurely, "Well, this is a normal need, and it is easy to meet, I can give you a thousand shadow warriors to help you easily sweep the human world......"
"No, no, no......" Lin You saw that it had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't have that much ambition, the Shadow Warrior is too dark, I just want some qualified and reliable security guards...... Security you know, right? The kind of ...... that can stand guard in front of my company's door Company, you know what......"
After explaining for a long time, Hakarin finally understood what Lin You meant.
Facing Lin You, who was "unambitious", it was a little disdainful, "Hmph, I thought you had finally opened your mind, but there was still no progress!" ”
It repeated Lin You's "unproductive" request, "It must be obeyed, it also needs strength, and it must be an appearance that is acceptable to human beings...... You've got a lot to do! ”
Lin You scratched his head embarrassedly, "If the requirements are too low, how can you reflect your omnipotence?" ”
Then, he frantically slapped the "dragon fart", making Hakarin smug and comfortable.
Although he knew that Lin You had "ill intentions", he was still very happy to accept these boundless praises.
In the end, Hakarin replied.
"Okay, I'll give you the choice, you give me the answer!"
"I can give you fifty orc warriors, they are very aggressive, but they are quite different from the appearance of humans."
"Or forty dwarven warriors, who are better at being defenders, but maybe not much of a deterrent because of their height."
"Or thirty elven warriors, who are very close to humans in appearance, and are good at using bows and arrows and magic, should be the best fit for you...... The choice is yours! ”
When it comes to this, Lin You doesn't have to think about it at all, quality and quantity are inherently incompatible.
"Of course it's the choice of elves, it's not a choice question! It can be used as a signboard, full of fantasy elements! It's better to be a young and beautiful female elf, hehe! ”
