"Of course not."

The skeleton mage shook his head repeatedly, "Francis is slightly stronger than me, and he has the [Shadow Clone], a relic of the Lich King.

If you want to obtain the Thunder Crystal, you must first defeat Francis, take his body, and then absorb the Thunder Crystal from his body.

Can you do it? ”

Li Ang bowed slightly, "No problem." ”

The skeleton mage breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "In that case, I will tell you all the information about Francis."

Francis had left behind a large number of thunder hedrons in the pre-cataclysmic world, as many as five.

I've already absorbed three of them.

In recent times, I've been trying to condense the fourth Thunder Crystal.

But he never succeeded, but because of his mental overdraft, he was seriously injured.

According to my speculation, it is likely that Francis still has a small number of soul fragments left behind, hiding nearby. ”

"Oh, so you don't have any thunderbolts anymore, do you?" Leon narrowed his eyes.

"No... That's right. ”

The Skeleton Mage swallowed and said with difficulty, "However, I still have a few pieces in my storeroom. ”

"Pantry?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows and said, "You have stored so many thunder crystals, and you have built such a dilapidated house, just to hoard thunder crystals?" ”

The skeleton mage said bitterly, "I don't want to either, but I need money and cultivation materials. ”

“……”

Li Ang was silent, and only after a while did he say, "In this way, you lend me the storage room for a while."

I'll swap out two thunderbolt hedrons, how about this deal? ”

"Two?!"

The skeleton mage was pleasantly surprised, and then hesitated, "You...... Are you really willing to use two hedrons to help me advance to the transcendent realm? ”

Li Ang laughed: "The stronger your strength, the less pressure I have." ”

The skeleton mage's gaze moved away from the spar in Leon's hand, and the deep gray eyes rippled slightly, and he muttered, "If I lend you the storage room and guarantee the ownership of the contents of it, can you let me stay here?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Ang readily agreed.

"Great."

The Skeleton Mage said excitedly, "We sign the contract, and the deal is made. ”

"Uh-huh, the contract is established!"

Leon recited the incantation expectantly, a new contract in his mind.

The skull mage's life imprint is shared with Leon, and he is able to read the contents of the contract, which stipulates that the skull mage must obey Leon's call.

When Leon is in danger, he must give his full assistance. If he breaks his promise, Leon can drive out undead creatures at any time and deprive them of their freedom forever.

"I agree, I agree!"

The skeleton mage nodded repeatedly, "You take me back to the castle first, and we'll discuss the specifics slowly." ”

Leon shrugged, "Okay." Didn't you just say that you were seriously injured and couldn't walk, and I carried you back to the castle? ”

"Uh, no......"

The skeleton mage's face froze, "No need, I still have one leg to run." ”

"OK~ Then you can keep up, pay attention to the soles of your feet."

Leon waved his hand and walked in the direction of the stairs, "What's your name?" ”

The skeleton mage hesitated for a second and whispered, "I...... My name is Aldra and I am a necromancer. ”

"You've got two legs left." Li Ang reminded lightly.

"Uh, ahem...... Aldera explained with a dry cough, "my legs have been blown off, and all that's left is the skeleton...... No, it's only half a section left, and it's hard to stand......"

Leon rolled his eyes, "Okay, let's go, don't delay time." ”

……

After a stick of incense, the castle is on the second floor.

Spacious and spacious, poorly furnished living room.

Li Ang sat cross-legged on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and a cigarette in his mouth.

Aldra sat on the single sofa next to him, covered in black mist, exuding a suffocating cold aura.

Although he appeared to be extremely weak, Leon remained cautious and ready to attack.

A dark blue ghost fire flickered in Aldra's eye sockets, "Francis, why did you choose to come to me?" ”

Li Ang exhaled a strong puff of green smoke and said lightly, "You are the spokesperson sent by Francis?" ”

"No, I'm not."

Aldra shook his head, "I'm still a lich at heart, not with Francis. ”

Hearing this, Leon glanced at Aldra in a little surprise.

This guy is indeed a lich, and he has lived for a thousand years, and his strength is probably stronger than that of ordinary lichs, even comparable to Francis.

However, Leon never met him.

Perhaps, this is just an old monster living alone in the depths of the cave.

Leon pondered for a moment and asked straight to the point, "Where is Francis?" ”

Aldra frowned slightly, was silent for a few seconds, and said slowly: "Your information is very accurate, and I do obey Francis's orders.

However, he was not in the cave, but in the ruins at the other end of the cave, ready for the arrival of the 'oracle'. ”

"Oracle?"

Leon's heart throbbed, "What do you mean......"

Aldra said solemnly: "Not long ago, a devastating storm swept across the continent. I was ordered by my master to find some rare metals and build an altar for him in order to communicate with the gods......"

"I see."

Li Ang suddenly said, "What is the content of this oracle?" ”

"I don't dare say that......"

Aldra's voice grew weaker, "The oracles of the master are hidden in the forbidden things he has left behind, and outsiders cannot peep into them. ”

"Then there is no way~"

Leon spread his hands, "You just need to tell me, when will Francis wake up?" ”

Aldra sighed and said softly, "I don't know.

But according to his master, he is only one step away from a complete recovery, and he should wake up in ten and a half months at most. ”

Leon rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Francis is a legendary wizard, and his recovery speed is definitely much faster than that of a skeleton mage, and he will definitely return to normal in half a month at the latest.

"Then I'll wait for him." Leon nodded and suddenly asked, "Do you know when Francis advanced to the Legendary?" ”

Aldra shook his head slightly, "I don't know this very well, it is said that Francis broke through the legendary realm hundreds of years ago......"

"Hundreds of years ago?"

Leon looked eccentric, it seemed that Francis had already died, otherwise he would never have retreated to heal during such a critical period.

"In short, I take your word for it."

Leon raised his right arm, and fine scales emerged from his fingertips, turning into sharp blades and slashing towards Aldra.

Aldera seemed to have a premonition of something terrible, and hurriedly shouted: "Didn't you say that it was good to cooperate? ”

Li Ang turned a deaf ear and slashed down with his knife without hesitation.

Chapter 451: Pitch Black Demonic Qi, Rotten Gift

Aldra's figure suddenly disappeared, turning into a cold and treacherous dark demonic aura, burrowing into Leon's palm and merging into flesh and blood.

"Hmm......"

Leon covered his left arm and snorted in pain, his face distorted.

His left arm seemed to have a pitch-black tentacle that spread along his wrist to his neck, piercing into his skin.

The severe pain hit, but Li Ang ignored it, gritted his teeth and said: "Despicable villain, get out!" ”

"Huh,"

A hoarse voice rang out, and Aldra shot out of Leon's body, staying in midair.

His chest collapsed, his limbs broken, and his body covered in hideous cracks, like a mutilated skeleton.

"Your hand ......," Aldra exclaimed, "what did you do?" ”

Leon smiled and shook his left arm.

On his arm, there were mottled black-red cracks, wisps of dark green liquid seeping out.

"You skeletal body......"

Li Ang muttered to himself, "No wonder you are so resistant." ”

The strength of the skeleton mage is actually very average, at most comparable to the peak of a junior apprentice.

However, it is capable of carrying legendary sorcery, and it also has the ability to resist curses and restore damage.

Without the [Rotten's Gift] equipment, Leon estimated that his attack would not have been able to stop it at all, and would have taken a lot of effort.

"This guy...... It can't be a demonic creature in disguise, right? ”

Leon sneered in his heart and turned his head to look at the skeleton mage, "You just said that Francis is about to wake up, which means that his oracle will come soon?" ”

"That's right."

Aldra nodded, "Francis is the messenger of the gods, his will and fate are intertwined, and the oracle is his will.

When the oracle comes, the spirits and souls of the entire hell will be shaken and will rush to the temple to worship and pray for the coming of our Lord to earth. ”

"So exaggerated?" Li Ang was amazed.

"Hmmm......"

Aldra paused and continued, "Anyway, your goal is to rescue Loki......"

Leon interrupted him and asked seriously, "Did you ask Francis's oracle to bring his coffin board to me?" ”

“…… No. ”

"Huh?"

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Oh, that's it, then forget it." ”

With the help of Aldra, he really wanted to infiltrate Francis's mausoleum, steal the oracle, and take the opportunity to steal the magic crystal.

But since Francis didn't mention it, the task naturally didn't exist, and Leon didn't bother to spend time on Aldra.

“……”

Aldera looked at Leon blankly, "You...... You don't think about it anymore? ”

"No need."

Leon said expressionlessly, "I think you should return to the cellar as soon as possible, find Francis, and tell him what happened here." ”

Aldra grinned bitterly, "I've been trapped here for more than three thousand years, and I can't get out. ”

Li Ang shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "This is your own choice, and you can't complain about others." ”

"You want to kill me?" Aldra stared at Leon.

"Uh, what do you think?"

Li Ang touched his nose, "I have no grievances with you, why should I kill you." ”

A strange smile appeared on Aldra's face, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "You won't kill me, because you want to get the fragment of the treasure in my hand." ”

"Fragments of the Secret Treasure?"

"Yes, every one of us wizards is collecting pieces of secret treasures, but so far, only I have kept them intact."

Aldra said slowly, "If you let me go, I'll give you pieces of the treasure and get you out of here."

It's a win-win deal, and Francis will remember you for your kindness. ”

"How do you know I want a fragment of the Treasure?" Leon narrowed his eyes, "I haven't even seen Francis's face, so I can't talk about any kindness, how can you tell that I'm hostile to Francis?" ”

"Quite simply, your eyes tell me." Ardera's voice remained calm, "I've never seen a wizard whose eyes are as deep and misty as the night sky, and that makes me awe-inspiring and terrified. ”

Li Ang was silent for a moment and said softly, "...... Aren't you afraid of death? ”

"Of course."

"I've lived too long, and I'm tired of the endless loneliness and cold.

I want to do something more worthwhile in my limited life, rather than lying in a cold coffin boringly. ”

"I can help you." Leon said.

Aldra's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became much heavier.

"But I have two conditions." Leon held up two fingers.

"On what terms?"

"First of all, I need a set of clothes, the more upscale the better."

Leon stretched out his finger and pointed to the basement, "Secondly, I need a detailed list of magical materials, classics, books, alchemy allusions, alchemy potion recipes, and a series of other things. ”

"No problem."

Aldra immediately agreed.

"You're so happy?"

"There's nothing to hesitate about."

Alderra's voice gradually became ethereal, as if he was saying to himself, "Although I don't like Francis, I still keep my promise."

Within my duty, I will do everything in my power to help you claim Francis's legacy. ”

"Okay, deal."

Leon smiled, "Also, if Francis's will is very clear, I hope you can inherit the wealth and authority of the gods in his place."

I can help you, but you'll have to help me find clues to the rest of the treasure pieces. ”

Aldra pondered for a few seconds and nodded, "...... Okay, deal. ”

He raised his head and looked Leon in the eye, "One last question, my friend."

Who are you? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you all want to grab my wallet."

Li Ang shook his head and said, "So, please call me boss!" ”

“……”

Aldra was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Okay, boss."

However, I advise you not to try to seize the temple here, which was once the palace of the Lord of Hell and suppressed the core of Hell.

I witnessed a catastrophe that remained sealed and undamaged until it ended. ”

"Oh."

Li Ang bowed slightly, noncommittal.

"And ......" Aldra suddenly hesitated for a few seconds and said, "If you can take the oracle, I will give it to you...... But you have to promise me that you must be kind to it and not let it fall into the hands of the devil. ”

"Okay."

Li Ang waved his hand, "Then you recover quickly, and then lead the way." ”

"Okay."

Aldra closed his eyes, and a thick black mist escaped from his body, turning into a large, hideous skeleton, suspended in the air.

"Follow me."

The skeleton's voice was hoarse and harsh, and it swooped down, sending a gust of wind.

Leon moved slightly, dodging, and disappeared into the darkness.
