"Mr. Shield Spirit," Roy asked, "did you just say that it was willing to surrender?"
The shield spirit nodded and sighed: "Many years ago, an ancestor of our clan once had a chance to catch a demon reaper, but unfortunately he failed in the end.☆→☆→, I didn't expect your luck.
So good. Several unique conditions came together, and I caught it easily."
"Luck, luck." Roy said modestly, smiling brightly.
Indeed, according to what Shield Spirit said, it was really luck that he could catch this demon reaper. If it weren't for the sudden change in the Dark Basin, if he didn't have the light detoxification pill, if he didn't happen to be a necromancer, if he didn't happen to be here at this time
, I'm afraid that such a good thing may not happen to me even if it happens ten million times.
As a child, Roy lived in a dwarf's gauntlet city. Roy was no stranger to dwarf warlocks summoning demons to help in battles. He knew how terrifying a demon with special abilities that suited his fighting style could be to his enemies.
It can be said that most of the combat effectiveness of a dwarf warlock depends on the ability to summon demons.
A powerful demon can increase the combat effectiveness of a dwarf warlock several times or even dozens of times. There are countless examples of low-level warlocks defeating high-level wizards and knights.
Although this little devil is fragile, its ability to release dark clouds is enough to make Roy feel itchy.
Roy couldn't wait to ask: "By the way, you just said that this guy is willing to surrender? Does that mean I can sign a devil's contract with it?"
"Yes," Shield Spirit nodded and said, "There are two kinds of demon summoning techniques. One is random summoning, and the other is contract summoning."
He explained: "Random summoning is to temporarily use secret techniques to summon an abyss demon. Its level depends on the level of the summoning technique and luck. There are many examples of low-level demons summoned after spending precious materials.
However, it is also possible to summon very powerful beings."
With that said, the Shield Spirit pointed at the Demon Reaper and said: "And if a powerful demon can be subdued, then people are more willing to use the contract summoning technique. As long as you sign a contract with it. Then, in your lifetime,
It will become your partner."
"However, I have to tell you about its advantages and disadvantages." Seeing Roy's eyes shining brightly, Shield Spirit decided to pour cold water on it first, "Let's talk about the disadvantages first."
"First of all, the devil's contract is unique," Shield Spirit said, "that is to say, you can only sign a contract with one devil in your life."
"Oh?" Roy asked confused, "But I've seen someone summon a team of demons at once before."
"Not to mention a demon, it is not unusual to summon an army of demons." The shield spirit shook his head and said: "However, in that case, it is because the summoner signed the contract with a powerful demon. He actually
We only have a contract with this demon. The other demons are vassals of this powerful demon. There is another contractual relationship between them."
As he spoke, the shield spirit said seriously: "Because of this, we dwarfs are very cautious when choosing contract demons. We must choose powerful demons. Otherwise, we would rather take unknown risks and use random summoning than to do it casually.
Then I signed a contract with a low-level demon."
"Then it..." Roy looked at it, this guy was just a first-level demon.
"So, this is something you need to consider," Shield Spirit said.
Roy looked at the little devil and thought about it.
After all, I am not a warlock who relies on demons to fight. Therefore, the idea of summoning an army of demons is attractive, but it is far less practical than the guy in front of me who can release the dark clouds. Moreover, it is necessary to conquer a powerful demon and make it willing.
Signing a contract is not easy.
He dismissed the question and asked, "What other shortcomings does it have?"
Shield Spirit said: "Secondly, according to our experience, the demon's strength will decrease when it leaves the abyss. It should be no exception. At least, without the supplement of the power of the abyss, the scale and power of the dark clouds it releases would not be so large.
big."
Roy nodded. He could accept this.
Shield Spirit said: "Third, after each summoning, the demon needs at least three days to rest and store up power. This guy mainly relies on the power of transforming the abyss to release the dark clouds. I think its quiet period will be longer than that of other summoned demons.
Longer. What's especially important is that its body is very fragile. Once it is sent back to the abyss, you won't be able to summon it to fight for at least a year."
Roy thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is no problem with any of this."
"Of course," Shield Spirit said, "After all, this is the first Demon Reaper captured in history. No matter what, this opportunity cannot be missed. I am just saying this to make you mentally prepared."
As he spoke, he changed his subject and said: "Let's talk about its advantages. The first thing is, of course, the dark cloud. Although this thing is restrained by the Huoyuan Pill, who would usually carry the Huoyuan Pill with them? Cooperate with the undead warrior and you
In this realm, most people can only escape."
"Secondly, this thing has a miraculous effect on large-scale armies. A dark cloud is more effective than any large-scale magic. It just so happens that you are still a magician. If you use wind magic or water magic in conjunction, the effect will be
It will be better.”
"Third, its power may be reduced outside, but this abyss is its home field. With it, you can probably walk sideways!"
Roy had actually thought about what the shield spirit said.
However, he still listened to the shield spirit happily and felt more or less satisfied.
The communication between the shield spirit and Roy is through the sea of consciousness. Roy can see it through the soul link of the skeleton, and several weapon spirits can also see it.
However, signing a contract requires a few skeleton soldiers.
Under Roy's instructions, the skeleton soldiers escorted the Demon Reaper out of the cave and walked towards the stone forest.
As the Shield Spirit said, most of the Demon Reaper's power lies in the clouds, and a small part lies in its weird roots.
The Skeleton Soldier was not afraid of the dark clouds and cut off at least hundreds of its roots in the previous battle, causing it to suffer serious injuries.
The little devil was led down the mountain.
In front of a death knight leader and two skeleton generals, it didn't even have a chance to escape.
When he walked up to Roy, the little devil looked pitiful.
Above the sharp fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth were a pair of large, frightened, helpless, tearful eyes. Its ears were drooped, and its hands were hanging on both sides of its plump body.
The lower body, which was originally composed of hundreds of blood vines, has turned into the shape of the lower limbs of an ordinary little devil. However, it is shorter and smaller. The soles of the feet with long claws are slightly turned inward, forming a figure-eight shape.
If you are soft-hearted, you may not be able to bear to do anything to it once you see its appearance.
However, Roy knew how scary this guy was.
If they hadn't run so fast back then, I'm afraid the Ice Star team, plus several other mercenary teams, would have been wiped out in this stone forest.
At that moment, Roy followed the contract technique taught by the shield spirit, bit his finger, mobilized his magic power, drew a six-pointed star in the air, and recited a spell at the same time. A drop of blood turned into a slender blood thread, driven by a mysterious power
, forming a series of symbols.
After a moment, the six-pointed star turned into a contract phantom filled with strange words and flew towards the little devil's eyebrows.
Looking at the contract, a trace of struggle flashed in the little devil's eyes. However, after seeing Roy and the skeletal commanders all around, it slowly fell down with the spikes on its back, closed its eyes in submission, and allowed the contract to penetrate.
Go into your own eyebrows.
A dazzling light bloomed.
Roy saw slender blood lines appearing between himself and the little devil's consciousness. The blood lines were like nets, with mysterious symbols sealed on them.
In the middle of the symbol, the phantom of the contract floats quietly.
Soon, the flickering symbols disappeared into the contract paper, and then a mysterious soul link was formed between Roy and the little devil. At this moment, Roy not only completely controlled the little devil's thoughts, but also
Know its real name.
Munda Beric Batanreales Concefer…………
This is a name consisting of more than 1,200 bytes.
The real names of demons are formed naturally since their birth, just like a code passed down by blood. The real name is the fatal weakness of the demons and their most precious secret. Throughout their lives, they will not tell anyone their real names.
.
Because as long as you master its true name, you are equivalent to mastering its life and death. Even a child with no power to restrain a chicken can easily kill them.
This is why, among many human summoning partners such as war pets and undead creatures, demons are the only ones bound by contract. As long as their true name is revealed when the contract is formed, there is no possibility of going back on it. Of course, if the contract is
The leader is itself, and the person signing the contract cannot see its true name.
When this name appeared in his mind, Roy immediately felt a natural affinity with the little devil. It was like being connected by blood.
"By my true name, Munda will always be loyal to you, my master." The little devil would not salute, but hugged Roy's thigh, with his fangs protruding and his big eyes flashing.
The little devil's language is devilish. But after connecting with Roy's soul, Roy can naturally understand its words.
However, this kind of loyalty ceremony made Roy dumbfounded.
This little guy actually took an oath.
"Don't be deceived by this guy," the shield spirit said with a smile, "the devil's lies are more famous than us dwarves."
"You mean, what Roy stretched out his hand to twist was all fake?"
The little devil drooped his head like a poor puppy.
"That's not true," the shield spirit said, "you have signed a contract, and it will not lie when it swears an oath. However, you have to understand that since it has signed a contract with you, it doesn't really matter whether you say these things or not.
Have you ever heard of the Devil’s Rite of Allegiance?”
Roy was so smart, he came back to his senses as soon as he heard this.
"Is this little thing trying to please me?"
The shield spirit smiled and said: "I didn't expect it. Its IQ is different from those of its companions who have not yet opened their minds. In terms of intelligence, it is probably no worse than a tenth-level demon. Even if you sign a contract, I'm afraid you will have to
Be wary of this guy, not because you are afraid of betrayal, but..."
As he said that, the shield spirit shook his head: "You'll have to experience it yourself later."
Roy put the little devil down and communicated with his spiritual consciousness: "Your name is too long, I will call you little thing from now on."
The little devil lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Yes, my master."
"I have a few questions to ask you," Roy smiled slightly and stared into the little thing's eyes. "The first question is, what is going on in this dark basin..."
One question, one answer. After a few minutes, as several questions came down, the expression on Roy's face became extremely complicated.
The little thing is the embodiment of the essence of the abyss and the representative of the will of the abyss. Just like the forest to the elves, it has an almost instinctive understanding of the abyss since its birth. It can be said that this place is like its backyard.
From the little thing's answer, Roy knew that this dark basin was actually composed of sections. There were seven or forty-nine sections in the entire dark basin. There were twenty-four on the periphery, sixteen in the middle, and
There are eight areas and one core area.
Originally, these sections were fixed. But every time the abyss closed, the Dark Basin would change. Either partially, or entirely, the sections would change and move, and even small things would not know the rules of the changes.
What shocked Roy was that these plate changes were not caused by nature. Instead, someone turned the entire Dark Basin into a large formation to protect the ruins of the abyss.
The ruins of the abyss are located in the center of the basin. It is a snow-white mountain with a red peak.
Normally, no one can see this mountain peak.
It does not seem to exist in the third layer of the abyss. No trace of it can be found even if the ground is dug thousands of feet.
Only when the abyss is closed and the formation of the Dark Basin is activated, will this mysterious mountain rise from the ground.
The entrance to the ruins is located at the bottom of the mountain. To go up, you need to pass through a series of criss-crossing passages.
When talking about the ruins of the abyss, the little thing showed two completely different emotions of yearning and fear. It seemed that there was something fatally attractive to the devil. But at the same time, there was also a power that had a fatal attraction to the devil.
A great threat.
Since the ruins existed, no demon has ever entered.
The ruins are protected by a magic wall. This magic wall is very powerful. Even some eighth-level demons cannot break through the protection of the ruins.
"Eighth-level demons?" Roy was stunned and asked strangely, "Are there eighth-level demons on the third level of the abyss?"
"Yes, Master." The little thing replied respectfully, "Every time the Well of the Abyss is opened, some powerful lords and generals will take the opportunity to climb up from the main well."
"Oh?" Roy's expression became a little solemn.
He knew that the Well of the Abyss was the passage filled with red mist deep in the cave where the little thing was just now. However, it was an ordinary auxiliary well, with eight in total, distributed in various directions in the dark basin.
The only main well is located in the core area of the basin.
This channel is bottomless and communicates with the deepest part of the abyss. It will only open when the abyss is closed.
However, Roy did not expect that this well of the abyss would not only transport the static energy of powerful beings at the bottom to all layers of the abyss when they died, but also demons would take the opportunity to come up.
This gave him an ominous premonition.
Just as he was digesting the information conveyed by the little thing, Roy's eyes suddenly twitched and he seemed to catch something in his peripheral vision.
He quickly turned his head to look.
A snow-white mountain peak with a red top reflected his gradually widening eyes... (To be continued...)
