Chapter 28 From now on, I won't be fighting alone

Su Wen understood that he was in big trouble this time.

Like the grading of items, the system also has levels in terms of tasks, which are: simple, medium, difficult, legend and epic. Most of the daily tasks that Su Wen completed the most are simple, and occasionally medium-level tasks can be achieved, and he can barely achieve them with his ability; while side tasks are at least difficult to start, and obviously they will not deliberately reduce the difficulty because of Su Wen's strength. Therefore, they are all marked as impossible to complete by him at this stage, so he had to pinch his nose to receive the punishment for giving up the task and sell the clues to Donald.

Su Wen still remembers that among the dozen side missions he received in the past six months, the simplest "difficulty" level mission also destroyed a huge underground bandit nest. According to the information from Donner, there were at least twenty or thirty high-level knight-level bandits in charge. As for legendary tasks, many of them were powerless, such as the Dragon Cave Relics mission in the Wuthering Mountains in the North - Donald disappeared for more than half a month after getting the clues. After coming back, he never mentioned the results of the adventure. Su Wen knew that this guy was definitely defeated.

At that time, Su Wen only knew that Donald was a high-level magician who could be divided, and he secretly felt that he was overestimating himself. However, after this undead natural disaster, Su Wen had a new understanding of Donald's strength, so how terrible the legendary mission that even he suffered a defeat was naturally self-evident.

And the epic mission above the legendary mission...

Su Wen swears that this is his first time.

According to Su Wen's experience, simple-level tasks are just "easy" daily routines, and medium-level tasks need to be completed at risk. Difficult-level tasks will face a huge force or powerful individual, while legend-level tasks are basically related to the ruins and legends passed down from ancient times. It can be seen that there are worlds of difficulty and background gaps between each task of different levels. So since this "seemingly inconspicuous" epic task in front of you can be systematically described as "may change the historical development direction of the glorious continent", isn't it more out of reach than those ancient ruins?

Su Wen is not a pretentious fool, so when he found out that the system was actually hard this time, and even shamelessly threatened his life, he realized that this was no longer a simple thing to cheat.

This is probably a path that you have to choose.

Su Wen didn't know the principle of the system's appearance, nor did he know what the meaning of the system's existence was, but he knew that if he had not accompanied the system when traveling through time, his fate would be very different from now. He could not have the seemingly amazing magical talent, he would not have met Liticia, he would not have met Donald, nor would he stand here to appreciate a deadly undead natural disaster... So Su Wen would rather believe that this so-called cheating system would not appear for no reason, but would probably be deliberately changing, or guiding his direction.

The simplest example is that seemingly nonsensical sewer rat-killing mission leads to the next incident of Death Mage like a coincidence, but Su Wen would never think that this is really just a coincidence - the system must have known something, and then deliberately dug a hole to jump down, making himself a natural disaster that might change his destiny and become a student of Nicholas Magician.

"So, who are you?"

Su Wen seemed to be talking to himself.

Of course no one would answer, so Su Wen simply stopped thinking about it.

In short, the current mission time is still sufficient, and under the interlocking task chain, it may be a long time to face unsolvable dangers. However, this sticky slime corpse may have to follow him. Moreover, according to the task requirements, Su Wen could not give this demon to the instructor for fostering according to the practice of the apprentice of the Necromancer.

So, when Nikola, who had a very bad face, handed Su Wen the jelly-shaped slime corpse in a silver transparent jar, he was very glad that he did not choose those giant monsters that looked like hills.

...No, why should I be glad? If I choose those giant beasts, this task may actually be avoided!

While complaining, Su Wen began the ceremony of signing the undead contract.

As the name suggests, the undead contract is of course not signed for living creatures. It represents a kind of soul communication, and the soul of the living will not be exposed to play with any communication. Each undead mage can only have one contractor at the same time. They are called demons, either undead creatures or monsters from the Undead plane. Because the soul power of both are particularly strong, even a slime from the Undead plane has the soul strength of more than 90% of the creatures in the Glorious Continent.

Looking at the tiny light spots emerging from the bottle, although a little unbelievable, Su Wen knew that this was something called "soul".

Nikola took a sheepskin scroll, gently cut Su Wen's artery and put half a liter of blood. Then, soaked the entire scroll with blood in the latter's dizzy sight. Finally, when the shallow runes above emitted hazy blood-colored light, the rewinding of the blood-dropping scroll was stuffed into the bottle containing the slime. In an instant, the light spot representing the soul began to merge with the blood on the scroll very quickly. At the same time, Su Wen also felt something more in his mind.

"Chee..."

The low noise sounded directly in his brain without passing through his ears. Su Wen's eyes immediately gathered in the transparent jar floating in the air due to the floating technique - the mucus-like slime corpse was still silent, but Su Wen was almost sure that the hazy sound that kept ringing in his mind was exactly what the sticky little guy in the jar was made.

Finally, the light white spots of light completely merged with the blood-colored runes on the scroll, and the hazy sound finally stopped ringing. The liquid in the jar quietly rippled in a curve that was difficult for the naked eye to detect, and then returned to the same stillness as before.

Nicholas raised his palm, and the blood-stained scroll in the jar slowly disappeared like evaporation, and there was not even a trace of blood left.

“The contract is completed.”

He spoke expressionlessly, not looking very satisfied.

"You have a very talent for undead magic. If you want to achieve something, you have to put in more effort." He handed the jar to Suwen again, and Nicholas said to him, "When you arrive at St. Peter's College, you can go to the fourth floor of the library to find Augusto Kenny. He is your senior brother and will be responsible for training you into a qualified undead mage."

"Thank you, Mentor Nicholas, I understand."

Although it was strange why Nikola knew that he was going to St. Peter's College and why there were no undeserved existences like the Necromancer that were not recognized by most people, Su Wen nodded seriously and thanked him very seriously.

However, Donald became dissatisfied.

"A old Nicholas, it was my personal request. Are you planning to give up your stupid apprentice who is still wetting your pants?"

Nicholas, who had half his arm broken, glanced at Donald with a bad face.

"You mean I'm going to let me teach him how to walk step by step? I'm not interested in bringing a toddler baby around, and I don't know when I'll die."

"At least you should give something to express. Oh my God, I have never seen you such a stingy magic tutor!"

“…”

Nikola fell into silence, but soon took out a bone ring from the space pocket, came to Su Wen, and placed it in Su Wen's hand.

“It gives you the ability to protect yourself, but you need to be careful when using it.”

Su Wen thanked again and then saw the identification results that appeared in real time in the system.

"The ring of Bone Spurs Guardian, excellent quality, magic defense 2-5, equipment strength is medium, usage requirements are: Magic energy conductivity is greater than 70; Magic energy storage is greater than 0·1 fee. With enchantment: Reactive Bone Spurs (primary), fire primary bone spurs when attacked by elements to counterattack, forcing the body to consume magic energy, and can be turned off; Bone Spurs simulation (intermediate), actively used, consume magic energy to simulate intermediate Bone Spurs, the power and conversion rate are slightly worse than the standard intermediate Bone Spurs."

Just a glance, Su Wen knew that his cheap mentor was not fooling him.

No matter what market value this bone ring, which is systematically rated as advanced and has double enchantment, Su Wen will never consider changing it to gold coins, because except that this is a gift Nikola gave him, its attributes are too suitable for him now! The use of this bone ring requires Su Wen to achieve, and when it is activated, its enchantment effect requires consuming its own magic energy, rather than the elemental power extracted from mixed magic energy! This is simply a blessing for Su Wen, who has no elemental perception ability.

Well, the only regret is that this ring releases the bone spur technique in the undead magic, and the shape is not so kind, so it is indeed as Nikola's advice to him, and you must be extra careful when using it. However, even so, when you get an enchantment prop that you can actually use perfectly, Su Wen was still as excited as a pie fell from the sky.

He tried to inject a small amount of magic energy into the ring, and soon he saw a sharp bone spur gradually appearing in the palm of his hand. At the same time, the ring itself was heating up rapidly and a faint mist was discharged, which seemed to be digesting and eliminating excess energy.

Feeling a little hot, Su Wen quickly put away the magic energy output and put the ring on his hand. But after thinking about it carefully, he took it off and finally put it carefully in his close-fitting top pocket.

"Since the contract has been completed, I won't disturb you here to receive the goods. The 20% reward will be collected by my accountant clone - it's not too late, I have to go home and go to bed."

Seeing that he had done what he should do, Donald let Nikola go on the verge of explosion, stretched his waist and said. Su Wen was not difficult to understand the latter's gloomy face: Seeing that Donald's clones did not want to give up their spoils at all, plus almost 20% of the reward he paid for wasted, if Su Wen had probably been angry to death...

So, Nicholas, who was driving people not long ago, seemed to have no intention of letting Donald go.

He said coldly: "I almost fooled by you. Where is the spoils of death wizard Vasirian? He had just attacked you."
