Chapter 60 Risk Everything
When Jiang Xiaotan understood Daisy's ability, he vaguely thought of the use of "self-destruction", but he didn't expect that she would use this trick so quickly.
Good guy, you also came through Blue Star, right? You drove a truck under Cardano before your death, right?
"Calm down first and put down the dagger."
While persuading, he raised his hand and made a gesture of casting a spell.
"Stupid, do you think killing me in another way will prevent me from absorbing life energy?"
"No, no, this magic is..."
A warm golden light emitted from Jiang Xiaotan's hand. This was the [Healing Hand].
Jiang Xiaotan was actually prepared. Once the negotiations broke down, he would at least use his healing power to save Daisy from death, then knock her unconscious, stuff her into a cannon, and launch her into the ruins of the old capital.
He would do the same thing if the female necromancer was too aggressive.
"Ms. Daisy, it's better to put down your weapons and let's have a good talk."
Fortunately, Desili was not an unreasonable person. She snorted and put down the dagger.
It’s just that he is still reluctant to give up: “What qualifications do you think you have to negotiate terms with me?”
Jiang Xiaotan also put down his hand that was casting spells and held Xiang Zilan in his arms again.
Because just when Desili summoned the bone spur dagger, this humane little manticore had already begun to arch its body and show hostility. If you don't take care of this poisonous little guy, go up and scratch Desili, the big bomb.
It wouldn't be fun if it exploded.
"I was actually thinking just now that Ms. Desili can summon evil spirits and will not be easily captured by the magic sticks of the Inquisition. She can even deliberately resist being killed on the street and trigger her immortality. But you didn't do that.
, but was taken away obediently and tortured..."
When she said this, Daisly was a little embarrassed, and Jiang Xiaotan also caught the unnaturalness in her expression.
Well, it was probably a sneak attack, and then it was careless and didn't explode.
But Jiang Xiaotan wanted to push her into the good guys first:
"So I infer that you were deliberately taken away because you were afraid that your ability would hurt innocent people. This shows that you are a kind-hearted person at heart who is compassionate and unwilling to hurt others at will."
"Huh, so be it." The female necromancer blushed slightly.
"So, I think we can communicate with you. We might as well treat entering the ruins of the old capital as a business. When doing business, we must always calculate the income, expenses, and risks, right?"
"Income? Expenses? Risks?"
"Yes, if our action succeeds, you will sacrifice your life in exchange for the peace of your soul, right?"
Deslie nodded.
"But what income can we make by working with you?"
"After I die, you can get Kain's yew staff, which is a priceless treasure."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaotan was really moved.
However, everyone knows that there are a lot of treasures buried in the old capital of vampires, but still few people break into the ruins for these treasures because the risk is too great.
Therefore, the focus of negotiations with Daisy is "risk".
"However, we must also consider the risks of action. If we break into the ruins of the old capital and are completely wiped out, not only will we not get any reward, but we will also lose our lives. And you will too
Falling into a near-death state in the ruins, if no living body enters the ruins again, the soul will suffer eternal torture."
This statement shocked Deslie. This was indeed the thing she was most worried about.
"Are you trying to scare me into giving up?"
"That's not the case. We can slowly discuss it, formulate strategies, and avoid risks. As long as the risk is small enough and the income is large enough, we can take the risk."
A certain sage named Ma once said that if you have 50% profit, you will take desperate risks.
"Do you want to take your time?" Desili was a little discouraged.
"At this point, you have lived for more than 100 years, wouldn't you mind waiting a little longer?"
"Mind...well, it's useless to mind."
"That's good. Let me first confirm with you. What level of combat power do you estimate is needed to break into the ruins of the old capital and find the staff safely?"
"I can't say that. In my opinion, it would take at least an army to exterminate the zombies at the door, but you easily exterminated hundreds of them with holy water... Well, speaking of which, holy water is difficult to obtain.
Bar?"
"Uh, yes, this also needs to be calculated as an expense."
For Jiang Xiaotan and others, the holy water is "priceless".
In fact, after killing the zombies, the hunters can make a small profit by recycling the tattered armor and rusted weapons that cannot be melted away. After all, the Crusaders who came to deliver food back then were all elite, and the armor was all made of metal. It would be better to resmelt it.
Can be recycled.
But since we have to negotiate, we naturally have to try to increase our price as much as possible.
"If we only break through the main entrance, we will probably need a lot of holy water. According to the induction of the fragments on my body, the main body of the staff should be somewhere deeper in the ruins."
"In other words, the subsequent risks cannot be estimated at this stage, and the prospects are not optimistic, right?"
"Well, you can say that." Daisy Li was completely led by Jiang Xiaotan.
"Then, there is another question that interests me. Once Ms. Daisy is on the verge of death, how much life force will she absorb around her?"
"If I don't specify, all life within thirty yards of me will be sucked out."
Jiang Xiaotan took a breath of cold air, but he heard the key word "specify".
"So, what if it is designated?"
"I can designate three people in advance and put marks on them. When they are on the verge of death, they will only absorb their life force. If it is not enough, it will absorb other people's life force."
"So, is the life force of only three people enough?"
"Yes, using a mark to absorb life force is more efficient. The life force of three adults is enough to resurrect me."
Jiang Xiaotan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "What a guy, he can self-destruct in a targeted direction."
In this case, the risk can actually be greatly reduced, as long as Daisley takes three blood packs with her when taking risks.
Those colleagues I just captured are very suitable for this job.
"In that case, I have a proposal."
The pragmatic young master smiled and said,
"We can cooperate. But we must proceed step by step and explore the ruins of the camp step by step until we find the staff."
"Step by step?"
"For example, set a small goal first, to wipe out the zombies outside the ruins within a year. After establishing the outpost, go deeper into the ruins, step by step, until you find the staff."
"But in this case, when can we find the staff?"
"You have unlimited life, do you still worry about this?"
"Well, it seems to make sense."
Daisly actually boarded Jiang Xiaotan's pirate ship without knowing it.
