Li Shuyi has always followed Bai Xiaowen's lead. Qiao Rui is not Bai Xiaowen's teammate, let alone raise any objections.
Bai Xiaowen used the s+ prop: Book of Sublimation on the "Broken Slave Contract". Watching the light shine, his thoughts flew for 0.1 seconds.
Originally, Bai Xiaowen requested to upgrade the reward for this S+ elite mission, but the "big boss" behind the scenes refused coldly, but in the end he upgraded the reward, upgrading the God-given page into the Book of Ascension. He paid an extra 10,000 yuan for this.
The power points are also very valuable.
From this point of view, the "big boss" behind the scenes got the hand bone of the Grim Reaper and must be in a good mood.
What Bai Xiaowen wanted to complain about was that this "big guy" was probably a bit arrogant... He said he wouldn't give me an upgrade, but he finally gave me one.
A burst of light enveloped the psychic particles, and then the light dispersed. The shape of the originally broken slave contract had changed drastically.
[Powerful follower contract: S+ level prop, sign a contract with a humanoid creature below the leader template (including the leader template) to make it your follower. The other party must be completely willing to sign the contract (must not be in a state of confusion, charm, dementia, etc.
, and there must be no sense of resistance), otherwise there will be a chance of failure, and the higher the opponent's level, the stronger the template, and the higher the chance of failure.】
There is a special note at the end:
"If your template or level is lower than the target humanoid creature, the chance of contract failure will increase. The greater the gap between the two parties, the higher the chance of failure."
Follower is a new term for Bai Xiaowen. He looked up the meaning of follower.
After completing the SS-level elite scavenger mission, Bai Xiaowen's scavenger title was promoted to the intermediate level. Perhaps for this reason, the rules of the spirit world quickly gave an answer.
Generally speaking, the awakened person can choose a spirit world figure or another awakened person to enter into a follower contract, making the other party his "follower".
Followers are different from summoned creatures. They have independent personality and will. They can use equipment, props and learn skills, which is equivalent to having one more teammate. In addition, followers do not enjoy the mental bonus of their master.
As the master, he cannot force his followers to distort their will and act. However, the master has the power of life and death of his followers. He can kill his followers with just a thought.
In addition, if the master dies, the followers will also die. So generally speaking, there is no need to worry about the loyalty of followers.
However, signing a follower contract is not an easy task. If the other party is willing to resist, they will need to force the contract, which will have a chance of failure unless the user's strength far exceeds the target.
Qiao Rui also added that if a follower contract is used against an awakened person, no matter how much stronger the opponent is, the contract cannot be forced. As long as the opponent is willing to resist, the contract will definitely fail.
"Just keep it for now...I'll think about how to use it."
Bai Xiaowen put away the powerful follower contract, and then looked at Gloria, who was standing motionless on the altar.
"After such a long time, it's time to take a look at Gloria's condition."
The three of them walked to the altar and observed it carefully.
Gloria's face, neck and other exposed skin have turned a strange dead white color, as if she has some kind of skin disease. Black air is constantly flowing on her body surface, and every time it passes through a piece of skin, it will
Causes large areas of skin tissue necrosis and shedding.
This is the terrifying power of the death curse.
If it were another person, he would have been cursed by the God of Death long ago, and his entire body would have rotted away, and he would never be able to die again.
However, on Gloria's skin, there is also a weak blazing white flame, constantly chasing the black energy. When passing through the necrotic skin tissue, the blazing white flame will make a "sizzling" sound, like boiling oil.
Grilled meat.
Although the light flame has a purifying effect and will stop the decay of the skin after passing through it, turning it into bloodless white, the pain is terrifying to think about.
Gloria has been frozen here for a long time. During this time, every second has been purgatory.
Her blue eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes.
Bai Xiaowen stood opposite Gloria, sighed, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "I'm sorry."
At that time, Bai Xiaowen was lurking on the side, and Gloria was deceived by the fake prince Richard into getting the sealed holy box. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were the only two people in the scene who knew the whole story.
If Bai Xiaowen had warned him, maybe Gloria would not have been fooled and ended up in such a miserable end.
However, Bai Xiaowen had scruples and chose to endure it. This was something he felt guilty about. After all, Gloria was one of the few noble people he had ever seen in the spiritual world. She was kind, upright, and loyal... in the usual sense.
All the virtues of Western chivalry.
[And she is beautiful and has a good figure...] Bai Xiaowen added silently in his heart.
Of course, even if Bai Xiaowen had a strong sense of justice and stood up to stop Gloria and said that Prince Richard was a fake, it would be difficult to gain Gloria's trust. If he gave up the invisibility of Night Crow Feather, he would be even more likely to be attacked by Richard.
The joint siege by Gladys and others was too dangerous.
With two elite side missions of S level and above, and reaching the last step, Bai Xiaowen would never allow himself to make a mistake.
Having said that, how can I help Gloria so that I can feel better?
Bai Xiaowen stared at Gloria's blue eyes. Gloria was also looking at him.
"Hiss..."
A hoarse voice sounded from Gloria's throat, but unfortunately, it was completely incomplete.
Under the double torture of the death curse and the power of light within his body, this level 8 leader was unable to even speak a single word, and his vocal cords were probably damaged.
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This shows that Gloria's actual condition is more serious than it seems. Not only is her skin damaged on the surface, but her internal organs are probably also damaged to the point of necrosis."
"So pitiful." Li Shuyi tilted her head unbearably.
"Her soul is crying," Qiao Rui closed her eyes slightly and rubbed her eyebrows as she said, "She wants you to do it yourself to end her pain."
Although he could not move or speak, Bai Xiaowen could still read three words from Gloria's blue eyes:
Kill me.
"Okay." Bai Xiaowen breathed out. Maybe killing Gloria and ending her torture is the best choice.
At this moment, Delifa's voice came from the Black Soul Stone, directly ringing in Bai Xiaowen's mind:
"Master, I have to remind you that if you kill her, the power of the death curse is likely to be transmitted to you."
"Huh?" Bai Xiaowen was startled and lowered his raised hand, "Are you sure? How do you know?"
"I have been analyzing the memory fragments of the Vampire Lord Marcus. In the process, my sealed memory has recovered a little," Delifa seemed to have become a little different and said softly, "The curse of the God of Death rests on the God of Death.
Naraku’s undying will will not disappear with Gloria’s death.”
"What should we do?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"The master can choose to leave directly. The further away the better. According to my assessment, Gloria has the blessing of light power in her body, which will continue to wear away the power of the Death Curse. It should be a stalemate for a long time... Maybe by then, the Death Curse will
It’s possible that the strength will be polished away.”
"If the power of the death curse is wiped out, can Gloria still live?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Delifa's tone: "Master, a mortal cannot survive when his body decays and dies."
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly.
Li Shuyi said in the team channel: "Xiaowen, I have an idea... Didn't you draw a bottle of resurrection water before? How about killing Gloria and then resurrecting her with the resurrection water."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and refused: "No, the resurrection water is too precious. It is equivalent to the second life of creatures in the spiritual world. It cannot be used just like this. Moreover, killing her will cause the curse of death to be transferred to us."
Bai Xiaowen is very sensible and will not use this precious golden tool just because of temporary sympathy. He does feel sympathy and even apology for Gloria, but not to the extent of risking everything to save her.
When he drew the Divine Water of Resurrection, Bai Xiaowen had the idea that this golden item should be left to Cecilia of the White Stone Leader as a guarantee.
Unless he encounters a profit far higher than the Divine Water of Resurrection, Bai Xiaowen will consider using it in advance.
Of course, there are benefits to resurrecting Gloria, but the benefits are too low. If Gloria meets the conditions for using the "Powerful Follower Contract", Bai Xiaowen can consider doing so and gaining a Divine Grace Champion Knight as a follower.
However, the follower contract requires that the target's level and template cannot be higher than the user's. Gloria's level is as high as level 8, which is destined to not meet the contract's requirements.
Delifa said: "If the master wants to end her pain, she can also consider another way."
"explain."
"Master can transform Gloria into a death knight!"
Delifa said, "After the master killed the death knight Kyle, didn't he get a 'frozen heart'? This is the source of the death knight's power. The master can put the frozen heart into Gloria's chest and replace it.
Necrotic heart."
"Then what? What about the death curse?"
Delifa said: "I can help Gloria and absorb all the negative energy of the death curse into the frozen heart. This will be a great tonic for her and can speed up her transformation process."
After a pause, Gloria said: "However, helping Gloria transform into a death knight will consume soul essence. The master has gained hundreds of soul essence points from fighting in the mausoleum. It is estimated that there will not be much left. Moreover, even if the master can obtain
Gloria’s allegiance cannot bring her out of the Aaron plane.”
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "End her pain and get the help of a senior leader Death Knight in the remaining time... Can I pay for this with an S-level special treasure Frozen Heart and hundreds of soul essence points? I can accept it. Germany
Leafa, are you sure the transformation will be successful?"
Delifa was very confident: "Master, don't worry, I have analyzed all the memory fragments of Marcus, and they contain the knowledge and steps to transform the death knight. I will definitely succeed."
"Okay, let's get started."
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes, took out the frozen heart, and then summoned Delifa.
Delifa, the seductive succubus with a hot figure and cool clothes, startled Qiao Rui when she appeared.
"Brother Xiaowen has another summoned creature, why is he dressed like this?" Qiao Rui looked at Delifa, as if she was seeing a legendary and voluptuous creature...
"Well……"
"emmm..."
Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen were both a little embarrassed.
But after all, Qiao Rui was a few years older, and her ability to accept was stronger. After the initial surprise, she looked up and down Delifa's sexy figure, and said with a smile: "What an enviable golden ratio.
And these measurements...men should all like this."
Looking at Qiao Rui's playful smile, Bai Xiaowen had an inexplicable embarrassing feeling of watching his sister break him. This feeling was very ridiculous.
"Ahem, I'm a decent person. Delifa said that dressing like this will help her fight." Bai Xiaowen said seriously.
"Oh, man."
Qiao Rui curled her lips slightly, "What did you summon her for?"
The previous conversations between Bai Xiaowen and Delifa were all telepathic transmissions, which Qiao Rui didn't know about.
Bai Xiaowen then explained that he was going to transform Gloria into a death knight.
Li Shuyi hesitated for a moment: "Will Gloria be willing to become a death knight? Her original profession was the Divine Grace Champion Knight."
Qiao Rui stared into Gloria's eyes and said after a few seconds:
"It's strange, she seems...very willing."
"Okay Delifa, let's start." Bai Xiaowen ordered.
"Yes." Delifa took the frozen heart, then untied Gloria's armor, transformed her right hand into a spiritual dagger, and cut it open against Gloria's chest, revealing the necrotic heart inside...
This scene was a bit bloody. Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and Qiao Rui all turned their backs and walked down the altar.
"I still don't understand why Gloria would be willing to be transformed into a death knight." Li Shuyi was confused.
Bai Xiaowen said thoughtfully: "It may be driven by unwillingness and hatred. After Richard's betrayal, her values may completely collapse and be reshaped. She was so loyal to the empire in the past, but now she is so loyal to the empire.
How hateful."
Qiao Rui gently pressed a finger against the curve of her jaw: "I heard that death knights are all transformed from real knights. The stronger the knight's faith during his lifetime, the stronger he will be after being transformed into a death knight. I really don't know what happened to the curse of death.
Under the influence of , what kind of monster will Gloria be transformed into?"
There is also the bonus effect of soul essence. Bai Xiaowen added silently in his heart.
"Let's not talk about this for now..." Bai Xiaowen changed the subject, "Senior sister, I remember you said... as long as we meet again in the spirit world, it means we are destined. Can I invite you to join my team now?"
Qiao Rui chuckled. This seemingly coincidental reunion was actually the result of her coming here specially. She believed Bai Xiaowen was also aware of this. However, Bai Xiaowen was still very smart and did not take the initiative to expose it.
Qiao Rui didn't show any pretense and agreed readily: "Okay. But, does your team have a third spot now?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "Our team was originally only level 2. After the mission of surprise attack on Beijun, we were just a few hundred points short of reaching level 3. Now we have completed two elite missions of S level and above in succession, which is enough."
Bai Xiaowen had checked before that when the elite team reaches level 3, there will be a general option of "temporary members", which can be used to invite Qiao Rui to join.
