Chapter 658: Second Inscription
Trying to suppress the urge to worship Duan Chen as a teacher, the old village chief cautiously asked tentatively: "Sir, now that the inscription needle has been refined, I wonder if Mr. is interested in trying the inscription?"
"You mean to ask me to engrave the Black Moon Demon Pattern for your Moon Demon Village?" Duan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "But I have never helped someone engrave the Demon Pattern before, aren't you worried that I will fail?"
"Sir's understanding of the way of the magic pattern makes the old man stunned, if even Mr. can't succeed, then the old man really can't think of who else can succeed in this world. The old village chief immediately sent a hot sycophant.
However, Duan Chen was unmoved, and said lightly: "It's not impossible for me to help you with the inscription, but if it fails, I won't be responsible." ”
"This is natural, if the inscription fails this time, I will bear the consequences alone, and I will not implicate Mr. The old village chief said solemnly, and immediately summoned the villagers.
In front of everyone, the old village chief directly asked Tuman to worship Duan Chen as his teacher, which made many villagers puzzled.
However, the old village chief praised everyone like a fanciful compliment, and everyone listened to it in a fog, so he reluctantly accepted this fact.
As for Tu Man, he had long realized that Duan Chen's cultivation was not ordinary, so he had no resistance to worshipping Duan Chen as a teacher.
After all, for the demon race, strength is fundamental, and if you can worship under a powerful monk, it will be a good thing.
However, when he heard that Duan Chen turned out to be a "highly attained" inscription master, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The other villagers also had mixed reactions to this, especially when they heard that the old village chief planned to ask Duan Chen to help inscribe the new magic pattern, all of them showed suspicion on their faces, obviously some of them couldn't trust Duan Chen's craftsmanship, but out of trust in the old village chief, no one objected to this.
But then Tu Ning and the other village teenagers no longer dared to get close to Duan Chen as before, and out of respect for the inscription master, they all began to become cautious in front of Duan Chen.
"I believe everyone knows that inscriptions are not necessarily successful, and there is a risk of failure, and the same is true for inscriptions with new inscriptions. ”
Without waiting for Duan Chen to adapt to his new identity as an inscription master, the old village chief said directly to the point: "However, Mr. Lu has a deep knowledge in the way of magic patterns, and the probability of failure is very low, so you don't have to worry." ”
In order to let everyone accept Duan Chen, the old village chief spared no effort, but it was a matter of his own children's lives, so all the villagers present were a little undecided, and no one dared to be the first to eat crabs.
Duan Chen had expected this, he looked at Tu Man who was standing aside, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
The Black Moon Demon Pattern is an improvement of the Seven Demon Lords on the basis of the Moon Demon Pattern, and it is the most suitable for the villagers of the Moon Demon Village, and Tu Man's talent is enough to rank first in the entire Moon Demon Village, otherwise the old village chief will not let him worship him as a teacher.
However, Duan Chen didn't take a fancy to this, he took a fancy to the magic pattern on Tuman's body.
During this time, he looked through the demon classics provided by the old village chief, and found that the inscription is not only once in a lifetime, on the basis of the first inscription, the demon can also carry out a second inscription, or even three inscriptions.
It's just that the more times the inscription, the greater the difficulty, and the greater the risk of failure, once it fails, it will directly lead to the abolition of the previously engraved magic pattern, so generally few demons are willing to take the risk of trying to make multiple inscriptions.
However, the Black Moon Demon Pattern is an improvement on the basis of the Moon Demon Pattern, which greatly reduces the probability of the failure of the second inscription.
Therefore, Duan Chen plans to try to give Tuman a second inscription, and believes that if it succeeds, Tuman's strength should be able to get a great improvement.
After all, Tu Man now only has the cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, and this strength is placed in the Moon Demon Village, and he can be regarded as a top master, but if he wants to follow Duan Chen to walk in the Southern Regions in the future, the cultivation in the late stage of foundation building is obviously far from enough.
Therefore, in Duan Chen's plan, it is also imperative to improve Tuman's strength.
Of course, there are many ways to improve his strength, as for whether to improve through the second inscription, Duan Chen is ready to hand over this choice to Tu Man.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "Everyone, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
When the old village chief heard this, he immediately stopped persuading the villagers, and walked to Duan Chen's side with a respectful face: "If Mr. has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
The onlookers suddenly stirred slightly.
Even though they had accepted Duan Chen's identity as an inscription master, they still felt a little unaccustomed to seeing the old village chief respect him so much.
Duan Chen was also very unaccustomed to it, but considering the future, he still pretended to be reserved and said: "The Black Moon Demon Pattern and the Moon Demon Pattern are of the same origin, so theoretically, on the basis of the Moon Demon Pattern, the probability of failure will be greatly reduced if the Black Moon Demon Pattern is used for the second inscription." ”
After a slight pause, he looked at Tu Man and said: "I intend to make a second inscription for Tu Man, if he can succeed, his cultivation can be improved by at least two small levels, but if he fails, the price is not low, how to choose, you can decide for yourself." ”
Then, Duan Chen elaborated on the advantages and disadvantages of the secondary inscription.
In his opinion, although the Dao pattern and the magic pattern have a lot in common, after all, he is not completely sure whether it is the first inscription or the second inscription.
So he decided to leave this choice to Tuman and the old village chief.
Obviously, the secondary inscription was a bit out of reach for many Moon Demon Village villagers, and they had only heard of it in the past, but no one had ever tried it, so when they heard that Duan Chen was planning to make a secondary inscription for Tuman, they all opened their mouths in surprise.
However, Duan Chen noticed the excitement and nervousness that flashed in Tu Man's eyes.
The old village chief showed a hint of silence in his eyes, the price of the failure of the second inscription, he knew best, he had been engaged in the inscription for many years, and he knew what it meant to Tuman once the second inscription failed.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Duan Chen with a solemn face and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know how sure Mr. is?"
"Fifty percent. Duan Chen replied a little conservatively, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.
Although the actual success is higher than fifty percent, there is still a risk of failure, and once it fails, then Tuman will become a waste person in the future.
Unlike the failure of the first inscription, you can re-inscribe the inscription, once the second inscription fails, there is no turning back, and there is no regret medicine to take.
This is the lesson of the blood left by the personal experience of countless demon ancestors, even the Seven Demon Lords can't change this, at most help Tu Man go on another path and find another way.
On the other side, Tu Man and the old village chief heard Duan Chen's answer, but they fell into deep thought.
The two secretly discussed, and soon made a decision.
I saw Tu Man take a deep breath and said, "Master, the disciple is willing to try." ”
"You'd better think about it again, although I'm somewhat sure, but the cost of the failure of the second inscription is too great, I'm afraid you can't afford it. Hearing Tu Man's such a refreshing answer, Duan Chen began to persuade instead.
"The disciple is not afraid. Tu Man's gaze was firm: "The disciple wants to become stronger, so that our Moon Demon Village can not be bullied." ”
At this time, the old village chief also spoke, and said solemnly: "Please also ask Mr. to fulfill, Tuman is not just for himself, he is also doing this for the village, and please Mr. Give us a chance in the Moon Demon Village." ”
Duan Chen heard the meaning of the old village chief, once the second inscription of Tuman was successful, he believed that they would definitely promote the second inscription throughout the village.
It's just that Duan Chen is not optimistic about this attempt.
After all, even if Tuman can succeed in the second inscription, it doesn't mean that other villagers will also succeed.
However, this is an internal matter of the Moon Demon Village, and it is not easy for him to interfere as an outsider, he thought about it, and then nodded and agreed: "Okay, but I need to prepare for a few days." ”
No one, including Duan Chen, thought that their attempt would have such an impact and changes on the Moon Demon Village in the future.
No one could have imagined that on the other side of the distant Donghua Continent, the Beiyuan Immortal Palace would actually break through the defense line of the demon clan and recapture the Northern Xia Dynasty from the hands of the Demon God Society, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire human race.
You must know that the Beiyuan Immortal Palace only had a negotiation with the demon clan not long ago, and everyone thought that in the short term, the Beiyuan Immortal Palace would not make a move against the demon clan, but they didn't expect the former to be so resolute and directly caught the demon clan off guard.
Originally, the world thought that the good start of the human race's foreign war would take place in the Western Regions battlefield, or in the distant North Sea, but no one expected that the war situation in the Northern Regions, which had been stalemate for decades, would be easily broken in this way.
Beiyuan Immortal Palace reversed its usual low-key appearance, and recaptured the Northern Xia Dynasty with an unexpectedly strong force.
However, the Moon Demon Village is far away in the southern region and is located in a remote area, so such a news is destined to be difficult to transmit.
Even if it is passed on, the current Northern Xia Dynasty has nothing to do with Duan Chen, he is now busy preparing for the second inscription in three days, and he has no time to care about other things.
One early morning three days later, after everything was ready, Duan Chen asked the old village chief to bring Tu Man.
At this time, in a clearing deep in the valley where the village is located, a bronze tripod has already been placed, and the fire is connected to the earth under the big tripod, which is burning through the formation at the moment, making the medicine liquid in the big tripod continue to boil.
During this period, Duan Chen also threw herbs into it from time to time, and from time to time he would also put in a few jars of demonic beast blood, making the originally clear medicinal liquid quickly become turbid, red and black, which was very scary.
And Tu Ning and a group of young people in the village who followed over to watch were all scared green, but some of the older villagers knew that these were good things, and their eyes couldn't help but be full of envy when they looked at Tu Man for a while.
And when they saw the old village chief take out the black flame wolf's magic pill with a painful face and throw it into the big ding, their eyes instantly turned red, and they couldn't wait to rush up to replace Tuman.
"Almost, let's go inside. When the magic pill dissolved in its entirety, Duan Chen couldn't help but nod his head and entered the Great Ding.
