Stelvo's anger can be imagined. The old demon had just helped him kill the spiritualist Ximilos, but when he turned around, he had both the Spiritualizing Scroll and the Black Dragon Scales. This had to make Stelvo
Think of the bad side.
For the old demon, this is indeed a hidden branch task. After Stelvo's roar, the system popped up two options for the old demon, one is to return the black dragon scales, and the other is to continue to hold them.
These two choices made the old demon a little embarrassed. If he chose the first one, he would be a little unwilling. After all, it is now possible to control the top BOSS in the game as his own puppet creature through the scroll of souls. If he returns it,
That would be a failure, but if you choose not to return it the second time, there will be a problem. In addition to Stelvo still holding the old demon's shadow map fragments, the old demon actually doesn't know how to use the Scroll of Souls. If
It would be much simpler to just get the black dragon scales and fuse them with the Scroll of Souls, but if you think about it with your toes, it is definitely not that simple.
If the top BOSS in the game could be surrendered by players so easily, wouldn't the other players turn the game company into chaos if they found out about it!?
There must be some other follow-up tasks or some kind of ritual to activate this soul-calling scroll, but now the old demon knows nothing about it. How easy is it to seal and summon the black dragon?
Since it is possible to continue to hold the black dragon scales, but cannot turn the black dragon into a puppet creature as expected, the old demon must weigh the pros and cons.
After much deliberation, the old demon still felt that there was no need to take this risk. If he offended Stelvo, he would not be able to get the fragments of the shadow map back. And from now on, the black dragon might risk his life whenever he sees him.
Launch an attack, or take back the artifact ring immediately. This is really not worth the gain!
So in the end, the old demon chose to return the black dragon scales... When the old demon made this choice, Stelvo's expression immediately relaxed and he said to the old demon: "I'm sorry, I wronged you.
, I apologize to you, but you have to know that things like spiritual scrolls are the same evil existence as spiritualists, and you have to understand my feelings!"
The old demon didn't answer his words, and just said: "Now can you return my collateral to me?"
"Here you go!" The black dragon scales have disappeared from the old demon's backpack and returned to Stervo. Then the old demon's mission this time has been successfully completed. Naturally, Stervo will no longer be able to embarrass the old demon.
He readily handed over the fragments of the shadow map.
After getting back the nine fragments, the old demon breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to compare the three fragments he got from the spiritualist, he heard Stelvo continue to say: "Young Shadow
Tribe, do you know? In fact, your Shadow Clan and I also have a history!"
"The goddess of darkness and the god of shadows have been brothers and sisters since ancient times. Where there is darkness, there will be shadows. Similarly, where there are shadows, there will be darkness. We, the dark dragon clan, have always belonged to the goddess of darkness, Semirus.
Guardians, and you Shadow Clan can be regarded as descendants of the God of Shadows, so in fact, our dark dragons have the same status as your Shadow Clan!"
When Stelvo said these words, the old demon was not too surprised. He knew that this was his opening statement and there must be something else to say next, so he listened quietly.
"Are you looking for the lost Shadow Temple?" Stervo asked: "Don't deny it, I already know it from the fragment of the Shadow Map in your hand."
"During the war between the gods, the biggest enemy under the Temple of Darkness and the Temple of Shadow was the God of Light. Due to their opposing attributes, the conflict between them was also the greatest, but you also know that between the gods
Most of the power of the gods is not much different, so the battle situation that year was actually a fight between the gods, which consumed each other's power completely, and then fell into a deep sleep one after another, hoping to regain their power again.
But at that time, the God of Light played a trick. He secretly retained a little power, and then when the God of Shadows was about to fall into sleep, he sunk his Shadow Temple into the ground and sealed it.
This matter has always been very annoying. In order to allow her brother to return to the world earlier when he regained his strength, she recorded the location where the Shadow Temple sank! Then it spread to the world!"
"You mean, this shadow map was actually created by the Dark Goddess!?" The old demon asked in surprise.
"That's right!" Stelvo nodded and said: "In the human world, the people who want to bring the God of Shadows back the most are naturally you Shadow Clan people. That's why you Shadow Clan people have such a tradition. Every adult
The Shadow Clan members must shoulder the important task of finding the map of the Shadow Temple, but you also know that the inheritors of the power of light are also walking in the world. In order to prevent the God of Light from attacking the sunken Shadow Temple again, so under the Temple of the Dark Goddess
There is one restriction on the shadow map, that is, the person who collects the fragments of the shadow map must get confirmation of her power, and then the map will show the real sunken location of the Shadow Temple! This is to prevent the God of Light from interfering with it!
"
The old demon nodded suddenly. It turns out that's the case. No wonder the Shadow Clan mentor said that even if the shadow map fragments are gathered together, they must be enlightened by the dark power.
"As the guardians of the Dark Goddess, our Dark Dragon clan has also received instructions from the Dark Goddess!" Stervo said: "Our Dark Dragon clan has never had many people, so the Dark Goddess also sent the fragments of the shadow map to us.
He gave some to us for safekeeping and told us that if there is a Shadow Clan member who hopes to collect the fragments of the Shadow Map, we can provide him with appropriate help!"
The old demon was a little excited when he heard this. Could it be said that the shadow map fragments can be obtained from Stelvo?
Sure enough, Stelvo then said: "You can take a look at which fragments you are still missing. If I have some here, I can give them to you!"
The old demon quickly took out the fragments in his backpack and compared them. Except for the nine fragments he got back from Stelvo, among the three fragments he got from the spiritualist Ximilos, only one was a duplicate, and the other two were duplicates.
It is something that the old demon does not have. In other words, the shadow map fragments that the old demon holds this time are eleven in total. Only the last one is missing, and the old demon can complete the map!
So, he quickly said to Stelvo: "There's only one left!"
"Oh!?" Stelvo was a little surprised. Naturally, he didn't know that the old demon had obtained three fragments from Ximilos, but after hearing what the old demon said, he would not ask why the nine fragments that were returned to him before were
Zhang, now there is only one missing piece, he just nodded and said: "Then tell me which one it is, so I can see if there is this one among the fragments I keep."
The number on the map was some kind of strange text that the old demon didn't recognize. However, this did not hinder his communication with Stelvo. All he had to do was show him the fragments.
"It turns out that what is missing is the fragment of map No. 7!" Stelvo laughed and said: "You are lucky, among the fragments I keep, there happens to be No. 7!"
After saying that, he turned around and rummaged through the treasure box he was guarding for a while, and then handed over the seventh fragment.
After getting the seventh fragment, the old demon was a little excited. With this fragment, he might be the first Shadow Clan player in the game to collect all the fragments... After getting all twelve fragments,
A burst of light suddenly emitted, and then appeared directly from the old demon's backpack in mid-air. A burst of black light flashed, and the twelve fragmented maps merged together in an instant.
A roll of yellowed sheepskin map fell out of the brilliance and fell into the hands of the old demon. At the same time, the system sent a prompt: "Congratulations, you have obtained the complete shadow map. Please go to the shadow clan mentor to receive the reward and
Follow-up tasks.”
Now the old demon can't wait to return to the city, and then return to the original Huaxia server to hand in the mission, but when he was about to leave, he heard Stelvo say: "In addition, I also
I want to tell you something!"
"Under the God of Light, there are twelve archangels. They are the most powerful arms of the God of Light. But do you know? These twelve archangels have no shadows!" Stelvo blinked and said: "
Do you know why?"
How could the old demon know this? So he shook his head.
"That's because the shadows of these twelve archangels were deprived by the God of Shadows!" Stervo said with some sigh: "The power under the Temple of Shadows is the power to control the shadows of all creatures in the world. This
It is an incredible ability. After the twelve archangels of the God of Light were deprived of their shadows, these shadows actually had the same power as the original body, and were completely obedient to the orders of the Temple of Shadows. And the shadows of these twelve archangels
The shadows have also become the arms of the God of Shadows!"
Stelvo pointed at the old demon and said: "In the mouths of you Shadow Clan people, these twelve shadows are called the Twelve Saints!"
The old demon immediately remembered that the mentor of the Shadow Clan had indeed said this before. He never expected that the origin of the Twelve Saints would be like this!
Stervo continued: "The God of Light only hates the God of Shadows, and most of the reason is because of this incident. The twelve archangels he created were actually used by the God of Shadows. This was originally
The God Realm can be said to be a big laughing stock, so when he sank the Shadow Temple, he also sealed the twelve saints in it!"
Having said this, Stelvo stared at the old demon and said: "If you want to go to the Shadow Temple to inherit the power of the God of Shadows, then you will most likely have to face the Twelve Saints. If you can't
If you pass their test, then your trip will be in vain! With your current small body and strength, it will be almost 100% in vain!"
"What should we do?" the old demon asked. He knew that there must be a reason why Stelvo said this, and maybe Stelvo could give him some advice.
Steyer raised his head and said: "It just so happened that you also obtained the Scroll of Souls from the Spiritualist. Although I don't know how you got it, but since you can fulfill your promise and return my scales, I will
Let me give you a piece of advice. Use the Scroll of Souls to get yourself a shield. A shield that can resist attacks for you at critical moments. You cannot compete with the power of the Twelve Saints. Without this shield, you are very powerful.
