"Dear Sir, the last offense was a misunderstanding, and I was also punished. My consciousness was almost broken, and now I have regained some strength."
Only then did Bai Xiaowen realize that the last time the banshee Delifa failed was not because of her own lack of energy, but because of her own counterattack. After much deliberation, it was possible to counterattack Delifa so that she did not dare to use mental attacks wantonly.
, there is only that mysterious bloody eyeball.
"What are you doing here this time?" Bai Xiaowen felt more confident.
"We need soul energy. What I don't understand is that Your Excellency has been unwilling to absorb the soul fire of these skeletons..." the banshee Delifa said helplessly, "Only if you absorb enough soul energy, Your Excellency's transformation
Only then can the job be completed.”
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "These lowest-level skeleton warriors should have the worst soul energy. If I want to change jobs, of course I have to absorb stronger soul energy."
The banshee Delifa hesitated and said: "With all due respect, although you have a strong will hidden in your body, your own strength is a bit weak. Killing a large number of low-level skeleton warriors is already a difficult task for you.
.”
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "No, you don't understand. Someone will help me complete this task."
"Impossible, I have been watching your actions. Before setting off, you did not find anyone to assist you." The banshee Delifa said with certainty.
"You don't need to know this. Now, hide in the soul stone." Bai Xiaowen said. He could feel that this banshee seemed to be afraid of him. To be precise, he was afraid of his left eye.
The banshee Delifa's head was full of doubts, and her image disappeared from the surface of the soul stone.
Bai Xiaowen walked towards the depths of the desolate cemetery. Soon, he saw a new type of bone monster.
Compared to skeleton warriors, skeleton archers have overwhelming attributes in all aspects, and the combat method has changed from melee combat to long-range shooting, more than doubling the threat level!
Bai Xiaowen advanced quietly and did not attack the skeleton archers. Fortunately, the spirit of the undead creatures was relatively low, so if you were careful, you would not be noticed.
After walking a few hundred meters deeper into the cemetery, Bai Xiaowen saw new undead monsters, including skeleton warriors with tall and thick skeletons wearing tattered armor, and sutured abominations with fat and bloated bodies. The challenge level also increased from level 1.
Reached level 2 and level 3.
At the entrance of a deep tomb, Bai Xiaowen even saw a monster wearing heavy armor and riding a skeletal horse. He lost his insight and only got the name "Terror Knight (Elite)", and the rest were all question marks!
"The deeper you go into the cemetery, the more powerful the monsters are." Bai Xiaowen didn't dare to continue walking when he got here. He huddled next to the tombstone in a remote corner and squatted down.
"Master Kevin, since you are here, why don't you show up?" Bai Xiaowen said to the empty cemetery.
It was quiet all around.
"I know you are here. If you don't show up, I will break the soul stone." Bai Xiaowen threatened to throw it.
"How did you know I was here?"
A low voice sounded, and Kevin's figure appeared on the top of a tombstone not far away. He was still wearing a black robe and holding a small wand in his hand.
"I guessed it." Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and told lies.
"Huh. I don't know where the flaw is, but forget it, that's not the point." Compared with when he saw it in the Lord's Mansion, Kevin's voice was a little more sinister, as if he was too lazy to pretend to be anything else with Bai Xiaowen, and said in a deep voice.
He said, "You have waited for three days, so you are very patient. Now, hand over the soul stone, and I will spare your life."
Bai Xiaowen stood up. There was no fear on his face and said: "Master Kevin, your words are at most a lie to a child. We all know very well that you will never let me go."
Since Kevin wanted to take away the soul stone, how could he still spare Bai Xiaowen's life and let him return to Pointed Helm City to file a complaint?
Since Bai Xiaowen has already achieved a respected reputation among the rebels, what he said has attracted the attention of the senior leaders of the rebels and even reached the ears of the leader of the rebels, Ursock.
Even if Kevin is the chief mage and has a high status, robbing a treasure from a highly reputable resistance fighter will still be frowned upon by others and is almost equivalent to betraying the resistance camp.
Even if Ursok wanted to protect him, he had to consider the serious damage to the image of the resistance after this incident spread, so he had to severely punish Kevin.
That's why Kevin didn't take action in Pointed Helm City. Instead, he tricked Bai Xiaowen into this frozen cemetery in the wilderness, where he quietly killed people and seized treasures.
Kevin nodded slightly: "You are not stupid. Yes, I will take your life today. Just obey me and you will suffer less."
Bai Xiaowen chuckled: "Master Kevin, I am indeed far from your opponent. However, I can destroy the soul stone in advance so that you can get nothing."
Kevin shouted coldly: "If you dare to do this, I swear I will pull out your soul and endure eternal torture!"
This sentence is enough to prove that Kevin's previous statement of "not interested in necromancy" is a pure lie.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen was not willing to break his job-changing props, so he said instead: "Master Kevin, I have a condition. As long as you agree, I can give you the soul stone with both hands."
"What conditions?" Kevin said warily, "It's impossible to let you go."
"I don't have such a request," Bai Xiaowen said, "My condition is that within one day from the time I hand over the soul stone to you, you must not do anything detrimental to me, and you must ensure my life safety.
After one day, it’s up to you to do whatever you want.”
Kevin narrowed his eyes: "What good will it do you to live one more day?"
Kevin has been paying close attention to Bai Xiaowen's abnormal behavior in the past few days, and his curiosity is increasing day by day. Driven by curiosity, Kevin wants to find out what Bai Xiaowen is thinking.
"One more day to live is one more day." Bai Xiaowen said insincerely.
"I can promise you. Now, give me the soul stone." Kevin frowned slightly and agreed.
"I'm sorry, I can't believe such a superficial promise. You must swear to the gods!" Bai Xiaowen said seriously.
In Aaron's world, almost everyone has faith. The people of the Empire believe in the Lord of Light, the Vikings in the north believe in the God of War, the elves believe in the Three Goddess, the mages believe in the God of Magic, and the dark creatures believe in various demon gods, etc.
Wait. Swearing to gods is not as casual as people on earth.
