359. Contractual Guarantee?
Archilon, who was sealed inside the magic orb, chattered a lot.
At the beginning, I was still on the topic, and as I talked about it, I deviated to my own life experience.
He was originally an engineer of the Tatis Empire, and when he accidentally entered the mausoleum with the army to repair the walls, he was caught by the Necromantic Sect, and was later transformed into a necromancy.
Due to his rich experience and outstanding performance in construction, design, and management, he was given preferential treatment by the Demon Bone, and was able to skip the sad stage of low-level acolytes and directly become a monk-level existence.
At that time, Achillon thought that he had hit a big luck and met a truly respected master.
But then he realized that although some people seemed to be alive, they were really better than dead.
After becoming a necromancy, you only need to replenish your soul energy to maintain a state of full energy, and you will never know tiredness.
Since becoming a subordinate of the demon bone, Achillon has not rested for a day, basically doing things every day and night, only when his stomach is working, he can dance, listen to songs, and relax.
He himself is quite kind to his subordinates.
Regardless of whether the living corpses and skeletons had the concept of rest in their minds, he would let them lie down and sleep for a while after working for a while.
Either way, Archillon was gone, desperate to escape from the hell.
It's not like he didn't plan to leave the Necronomicon Cult's territory and live as a death wizard outside of the Golden Island.
But there are high-level war spirits everywhere, and he is not a battle wizard, nor has he learned stealth spells, so there is no possibility of escaping at all.
Now, Achillon sees hope!
A mysterious and unknown powerful extraordinaire has appeared in front of him!
Although the meeting process was a little unfriendly, it didn't matter, he was already a dead man, and he could have a new body by sewing and mending with necromantic materials and soul energy.
The key is his soul.
As long as the soul of the dead is immortal, there is infinite possibility of rebirth.
In order to save his soul, Archillon will do anything, even if it is to betray his current boss.
No, phew, what a bullshit boss.
Working on it for so long, it didn't even get paid as it deserved, only spell books, cultivation potions, meditation rooms, and other things.
Achillon was not at all impressed by this.
He wants freedom, and the wealth that comes with it!
"Don't be verbose, get to the point." Li Nuo interrupted Akilon's chatter in a cold voice:
"Tell me, what were you doing? What are the plans for the future of Demon Bone? ”
"Yes~My lord, that's the case, I was manipulating the servants to check the energy pipe network just now..."Achillon's tone was flattering, and the speed of his speech was fast, for fear that if he said slowly, he would cause the existence outside the orb to be disgusted:
"Once I've checked the energy network, I'll mobilize my soul energy and prepare it for tonight's test. As I said, the tower will need to be tested for at least a month before it can function properly. But that damn one, who likes to squeeze the demon bones of his subordinates, has advanced the launching ceremony of the signal tower to tomorrow! If something goes wrong, isn't it still us who work hard to be responsible! ”
Critical information is a logical fit for you.
Li Nuo held down the Shadow Orb and mobilized the Shadow Energy in it to seal Achillon completely.
"Your Excellency, did you hear that? The Demon Bone brought forward the launch of the signal tower. ”
Li Nuo thought about it and said:
"Maybe it's not bad news for us. In the past 22 hours at most, Noreen will have the "Mana Stealing" pattern in the Soul Factory arranged. We can use these magic patterns to interfere with tomorrow's launch ceremony. ”
Li Nuo looked down at the Shadow Orb in his hand:
"If we set our sights on tomorrow's launch ceremony, then this necromancy can't be fine. He had to complete the work assigned to him by the Demon Bones on time to ensure that the launch ceremony would take place tomorrow. What do you think? ”
The Assassination Angel was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Sign a temporary soul contract with Akilon, use his mentality of escaping the Necronomicon Sect, stabilize him, win him over, let him continue working, and at the same time give us an idea of the situation of the Death Steel Soldier team and the Demon Bones. Wait until it's over here."
The assassination angel paused:
"Get rid of him, don't leave him behind."
Li Nuo nodded slightly.
That's what he planned.
Betrayers never end well.
What awaits Achillon in the future is complete death.
Lino reached out and rubbed against the Shadow Orb, loosening the energy shackles within, allowing Achillon to hear the voices outside.
Li Nuo said in a disguised voice:
"Listen, complete the task I gave you and prove your worth."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Without waiting for Akilon's flattery, Li Nuo passed on the woven soul contract book to the past with "spiritual indoctrination".
Akilon was shocked by this intricate psychic magic, unparalleled shock.
No matter what, he's an eight-ring necromancer.
According to the book, any wizard who casts a mind spell on him will inevitably be consumed by his magical heart filled with frost and death, without exception.
But now, this mysterious existence in front of him actually avoided the influence of the magic heart and stuffed a soul contract book into his brain!
What an incredible act.
Wait, could it be the work of this Shadow Orb...
While reading the soul contract book in his mind, Akilon secretly observed the orb that sealed him.
The scientific name of this bead is called "Shadow Imprisonment Orb", which can block the target's ability to cast spells, which should include the function of suppressing the magic heart.
Maybe it's such a magic orb that makes his magic heart fail to take effect on the mind spell.
Akilon quietly noted this.
He read the Soul Contract several times.
Seeing that the other party clearly wrote the clause "obedience in exchange for freedom" in the contract, Akilon was reassured.
At the very least, he will be able to save his soul until this soul contract is terminated.
"My lord! I am willing to accept your contract! Please release me so I can sign it! Achillon shouted out of the orb.
"When you come out, be honest with me."
Li Nuo slapped the orb with his right hand, grabbed it, and pulled Achillon out of it and threw it to the ground.
Archilon walked in vain, his body was wounded, and he was extremely weak, relying on the bone staff he had summoned, so that he did not fall to the ground in embarrassment.
He glanced at the mysterious man in front of him.
It was a humanoid creature covered in a black cloak.
Lino didn't pay attention to Akilon's gaze.
He took out the fountain pen and scroll, wrote the contract on the spot, and then threw the scroll to the other party.
Achillon grabbed the scroll and dipped his finger bones in the plasma in the magic pocket to sign his name on the scroll.
When it was time for Li Nuo to sign an autograph, Achillon couldn't help but snoop with his spare eyes.
Li Nuo snorted coldly, which frightened Achillon to tremble, and then Achillon was honest.
The name is signed, the contract is established, and it is divided into two, which are shot into the minds of Li Nuo and Archilon respectively.
Since then, Li Nuo has temporarily reached a cooperative relationship with this ghostly necromancer.
"Listen, now do what you have to do. Until tomorrow's launch ceremony begins, you will still be a subordinate of the Demon Bone, in charge of the Soul Factory's assistant sacrifices. ”
Li Nuo raised his right hand, raised his index finger and said:
"In the meantime, you'll have to do one thing for me, and that's to find out about those coiled metal skeletons. If they make any moves with the bones, you have to report them to me in time. ”
"Body, coiled .. Metal skeletons? Achillon recalled:
"My lord, are you talking about the Dead Steel Soldier from the alien sky?"
Akilon shuddered suddenly, thinking of many things.
He seemed to understand what the mysterious man in front of him was doing!
It is very likely that the other party is a hired wizard hired by the "Pillar of the Leylines" to spy on intelligence!
There have been cases of hired wizards being discovered by the Necromantic Sect in the past.
How do you say that, when you find a cockroach at home, you actually have a nest hidden in the house!
This should be a big cockroach in front of me, ah no, it's the most powerful hired wizard, so it can easily take down itself.
At this moment, Akilon's heart was more vigilant.
Although he has never left the Necronomicon Sect, judging from the rumors, the hired wizards are a bunch of people who don't spit out bones.
Maybe after completing the mission, he will be killed by the other party.
After all, as long as they are willing to bear the price, either party can take the initiative to tear up the soul contract.
I'll have to prepare in advance...
Achillon was thinking quickly when he suddenly felt a cold light fall on him.
He shuddered again, came back to his senses, and hurriedly introduced the origin of the Dead Steel Soldier.
"yes, that's what I mean by these guys." After listening to Akilon's introduction, Li Nuo said:
"Keep an eye on them and don't miss any important information."
Achillon pondered in his heart for a few seconds, and talked to Li Nuo about his difficulties:
"My lord, I am a priest in charge of the soul factory. If I don't have a Demon Bone Summoning, I can't go to Seclusion..."
Li Nuo knew that Akilon had other thoughts in his heart:
"Say, what do you need?"
Akilon gritted his teeth and said:
"I feel like the soul contract between us should add some leverage, because the risk of me facing the demon bones is too great."
As long as the punishment on the contract is increased to the point that the other party cannot bear it, Achillon is not afraid of the other party's remorse.
But it's dangerous and easy to anger.
When Achillon said this, his heart trembled.
Fortunately, the black-cloaked man in front of him didn't seem to have thought about tearing up the contract, so he easily agreed.
"No problem." Li Nuo took out a pen and paper, revised the contract, and re-signed it with the other party.
Achillon was satisfied.
Li Nuo casually sent him away and disappeared into the shadows.
Archellon returned to the energy center, absorbed soul energy, repaired the damage in his body, and returned to work.
Li Nuo was secretly watching the restless fellow.
He is not afraid that the other party will betray him.
Because the cost of the contract is reciprocal.
In order to prevent Leno from repenting, Archellon has raised the cost of breaking the contract to a point that he absolutely cannot afford to lose.
But as everyone knows, the price in Akilon's eyes is not worth mentioning to Li Nuo...
It's nothing more than spending a lot of energy and soul energy, and Li Nuo is not afraid of the backlash caused by tearing up the contract.
This is the reason why Li Nuo just promised Archie to sign a new soul contract.
Time spent in Achillon checking the energy network and Noreen inscribed in the magic pattern.
Before midnight of the day.
Archilon checked all the energy pipelines and hubs, and went to report to the bones.
Before leaving, he looked around the dark area, but failed to find Li Nuo's figure, so he could only fly into the passage in fear.
Half an hour later, Akilon returned to the Soul Factory, plucking up the courage to take it away towards the shadows where Li Nuo had disappeared.
"My lord, tonight's test is about to begin."
Akilon bent over and said flatteringly:
"The Demon Bone has been presiding over the testing of the signal tower in the Netherworld, and has not left its cavern. As for the group of Dead Steel Soldiers, they were all resting in the cave arranged by the Demon Bones, and the same was true for the Dead Steel Soldiers. It looks like the Dead Steel soldiers won't leave the cavern until tomorrow when the tower is officially activated. ”
After a few seconds, a soft grunt floated from the shadows.
"yes, I see."
Achillon bent down, turned back to the energy center, and began to mobilize soul energy.
The dark green glow of the energy pipeline is becoming exuberant, and soul energy is rushing to the energy center, ready to be sent to the signal tower.
Archilon was worried that he would be punished by the soul contract, and everything he just said was true.
Li Nuo verified it with deconstruction and confirmed that it was correct.
Then, the only thing left for Li Nuo and the assassination angel is to wait.
At the same time, the high-ranking war spirits patrolling the ground received an urgent message from the spider mother.
Brother Luo Fei under the command of the Mother of Spiders and a number of Spider Mother attendants are missing, along with the vanished envoy from the Siren Kingdom.
An operation to find the missing monk and the Kraken envoy is unfolding on the ground.
Several teams of Warriors went underground and questioned Archron, asking about the night.
In his mind, Archon linked the disappearance of the Siren Envoy and the Mother Spider Monk to the mysterious wizard.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and coped with the investigation of the Warrior Spirit team.
The missing monks and Siren envoys might be lying in the magic pockets of the mysterious people at this time, and Archion didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
In this way, the night was spent in anxious investigation and soul energy surge.
The next afternoon.
Noreen sent a message that all the pyramids were engraved with the magic pattern of "Mana Steal".
Leno gives Noreen a box of magic gems and asks her to use them to store the soul energy of the "magic stealing" prostitution.
The Magic Gem has been protected by the Veil of Otherworldhood, so Noreen doesn't have to worry about being discovered.
As soon as Noreen's mechanical spirit had received the magic gem from Leno and left, Achillon approached the shadows and said:
"My lord, the opening ceremony of the signal tower is about to begin. In the last three minutes at most, I'll open the energy pipeline floodgates in the center and send soul energy to the signal tower. According to our soul contract, as soon as the launch of the Signal Tower begins, you will have to let me go, and you will not hurt me until I leave the Necronomicon... I hope you will keep your promises. ”
When Akilon said this, his body trembled, for fear that the other party would regret it.
But after thinking about it, the fine of more than 50,000 soul energy on the contract was not something that ordinary people could afford, and Achillon suddenly had confidence again.
The world is impermanent.
Just as Akilon thought he was safe, the sharp blade sliced through the shadows, with a gray glow, piercing his heart.
Akilon's eyes widened, his hollow sockets filled with disbelief, but he could only die of hatred, and was shattered along with the magical heart.
In the shadows, Li Nuo's heart was shocked!
At the moment when he tore up the soul contract, he discovered something he had never expected before!! (End of chapter)
