In fact, he was not at ease if Meng Ge was to leave His Highness the Prince's life to a strange young man.
Although he possesses powerful elven magic, he has no knowledge of the secrets of the soul. So if something unexpected happens, he can't figure out what happened, and he can't use any means of remediation.
If there really is a high-level necromancer...such as a trustworthy old friend like Puyus, Meng Ge can completely rest assured that his highness will be treated.
so,
Hearing what Raymond said, he didn't hesitate at all and blurted out, "I know Puius, he will definitely help!"
"Uh...this..."
Of course Raymond knew that this guy knew Puius, otherwise he would not have dared to say such things with 90% certainty. But now that the disease can be cured, the remuneration has not been negotiated yet.
He seemed a bit stingy when he directly reminded him. He could only express it tactfully: "If I want to use this forbidden soul technique, the price I have to pay is quite high..."
"A big price to pay?"
Meng Ge immediately thought of what Puius said back then. Even if this kid mastered the forbidden soul technique, he probably wouldn't be able to master it proficiently. Perhaps it would cost a lot to get him to tell him a method that he was 90% sure of.
?
"If you need any materials to cast a spell, just ask and I will find a way to find them for you!"
This is said with absolute certainty.
After a pause, he probably understood something, and then said: "No matter whether you can solve the disease in my young master's body, I will pay you a satisfactory reward. Of course, to show my sincerity, I can also pay you first.
.”
"No, no, no...that's not what I meant."
Raymond shook his head repeatedly to show that it was not necessary.
It's good that the boss knows this. If he really wants to get paid now, it will definitely be a one-time deal. This is not the effect he wants.
Now that he knew that the people in front of him were high elves that he had never heard of in the game, how could he not seize the opportunity?
This is a special race that truly existed in the mythical period. It’s no wonder that Mengge talks about super-level magic crystals, ancient magic spells, artifacts, etc... With the background of the high elves, with those things, it’s really awesome
normal.
He pretended to sigh and said: "It's just that the spell has some losses for me..."
Probably, after the spell is cast, the meme that has lost thirty years of life can speak again.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the foreshadowing is definitely right here.
"this..."
When Meng Ge heard this, he looked really sorry.
But the stakes were so high that he had to shamelessly request: "Although this request is very rude, I still shamelessly ask my little brother to help. If I can really save the young master, I am willing to pay any price to make up for your losses.
"
When he thought about it, if the boy in front of him wanted to do something that even a powerful necromancer like his old friend Puius could not do, it would definitely cost a lot of money.
Perhaps, that forbidden soul technique really has some huge backlash.
Hearing this, Raymond felt happy. This was the effect he had been waiting for.
After pretending to think for a moment, he nodded and said, "Well, let me send a message to my family first. This soul stripping spell takes a long time, so I can inform them so that they don't have to worry."
Hearing Raymond's promise, Meng Ge's face lit up and nodded: "This is natural."
...
Raymond was not worried about going to Puyos Castle of the Dead, which is said to be "keep away from the living". He even called Boss Enzo specifically to ask if that kind of place was outside his teleportation range.
.
He is the direct fourth generation blood descendant of Enzo. As long as he is in the city, the boss can always sense his presence. If there is real danger, he can teleport and arrive in the blink of an eye.
But in a legendary forbidden land like the "Castle of the Dead", Raymond didn't know what special restrictions there were.
If it wasn't safe enough, he probably could only find an excuse to suggest Mengge choose another place to cast the spell.
But Raymond didn't expect that after Enzo knew that he was going to the Castle of the Dead, instead of worrying at all, he let him go boldly.
Raymond once asked Enzo to make sure he didn't know anyone in the Puyos family.
(In other words, more than a hundred years ago, even if they knew each other, they would still be dead.)
But now the inexplicable confidence in his tone made Raymond confused...
Is it possible that the current boss Enzo is so strong that he can lose his breath every second, and he doesn't even pay attention to Puyos who is blessed by the eleventh floor of the Necromancer Tower?
However, since the boss asked you to rest assured,
Naturally, Raymond would no longer be timid.
...
Not long after, on the battlements of the ancient castle of Puius.
A skeleton guard looked at Raymond and Meng Ge walking from the cliff suspension bridge and shook his head, as if he was lamenting something. The eyes with ghostly orbs floating in them showed an expression of helplessness that was anthropomorphic, and they turned off slightly.
He had said so much before that he asked his old friend to devise a scheme to lure that kid into a trap, but he just didn't want to get directly involved with this guy named Raymond.
It's good now. His old friend who was eager to save people brought people directly to the castle.
It doesn't matter if I don't see you.
Puyos knew very well that with the "Haines inheritance", that kid would definitely get into trouble in the future, and he didn't want to get involved in trouble.
After all, after living for so long, he knows that there are some spells in this world that can be traced back to their origins.
But at this time,
The castle door has been knocked.
In the magic tower, the body of Puius sighed slightly and said to himself: "Hey...it seems that the identity of this 'Pius Ten' will not be around for long, and it is time to lay the groundwork again.
'Eleventh Generation' appears..."
He still remembered that when he sent the young man Delos sailing from here more than thirty years ago, he was still called "Pius IX".
...
Whether in the game or in reality, this is the first time that Raymond has personally stepped into the legendary "Ghost Castle" where no living person has ever entered.
When he was walking on the suspension bridge just now, he felt as if he had entered the gate of the underworld. The further he walked, the colder his vest became.
His current perception is so high that it scares people, but the clearer his perception is, the more real the fear becomes.
With every step I took, the temperature seemed to drop a little lower. Once I stepped into the tall black skull gate of the castle, my whole body felt as if I had been immersed in ice water, and I shivered unconsciously.
The surrounding black stone walls are like a cage, locking in the spirit of the undead and giving people a very depressing feeling. The feeling of confinement is as if a giant dragon has broken in and cannot escape, and will be trapped and die forever.
In the castle!
Raymond was vaguely aware that some of the magic restrictions in this castle were ridiculously strong.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone can see this towering eleven-story black magic tower.
But now Lei Meng was feeling a different kind of shock when he looked at the huge thing that was a hundred meters high and was dozens of meters away.
The Puyos family has been blessing undead runes on the magic tower for generations. Over the past hundreds of years, countless super-powerful runes that were once unbreakable have been engraved on this magic tower. To the naked eye, the black tower is shining with layers of dense runes.
The dark light is like a dream bubble, but it is real...
The closer you get, the more intimately you can feel the terrifying undead energy accumulated in the eleven-story magic tower.
Only by entering this castle in person can one understand the terrifying nature of the Puyos family.
No wonder it is rumored that Puyos X, blessed by the Mage Tower, has extraordinary strength comparable to the three generals of the Navy. As far as Raymond saw with his own eyes, that rumor may be a bit conservative... This is the most powerful thing he has ever seen.
Awesome mage tower!
The two of them walked,
Meng Ge saw the fear on Raymond's face, and in order to make him less nervous, he said, "Don't worry, little brother. Although my old friend likes to do some horrible undead magic, he is still very decent."
"hehe..."
Raymond smiled reluctantly when he heard this.
Even so, this gloomy castle still made him feel very uncomfortable. That kind of coercion may have no effect on a high-level extraordinary like Mengge, but for a novice like him, it was like needles pricking the skin!
The most terrifying thing is...he really didn't feel the breath of any living person in the castle!
The rumors are probably true... No living person can enter this ghost castle.
...
Not long after the two entered the castle, a skeleton guard wearing a black robe walked over. It spoke human words and asked: "Mengge, my friend, why did you bring a human in?"
Mengge saw that Puius only sent a skeleton clone to appear, and he knew that he had brought a lot of trouble to his old friend.
He apologized: "I'm sorry, Puyos, for causing you trouble. But I hope you can understand my eagerness to save the young master..."
"No, no, no, I don't blame you, my friend. This little trouble is nothing compared to our friendship."
The skull mage's jaw bones opened and closed, looking very strange, and he said: "I know what happened, please take him into the mage tower."
"good."
Meng Ge nodded and said to Raymond behind him: "Follow me, don't touch, don't walk around... There are dangerous magic restrictions everywhere here, and you will lose your life if you are not careful."
"Um."
Raymond felt his heart tense. Even if no one reminded him, he had no intention of touching these weird-looking magic gadgets in the castle.
Necromancers are indeed the most terrifying group of people in the world. If nothing else, this gloomy atmosphere can definitely scare the shit out of a bunch of low-level supernatural beings. Even though Raymond has such a high "will" attribute now, the system still keeps sending messages.
to prompt.
[Ding! You have been eroded by the breath of the undead, your will is -1, the 'fear' state is superimposed, and all attributes are -1%...]
...
Entering the mage tower, no one was talking about it, and we went directly to the topic.
The elf boy was placed on the stone platform, and Raymond began to cast spells to peel off the evil spirit.
This kind of evil spirit entangled in the soul is very troublesome, like threading a needle and thread, requiring people to separate the two spirit bodies that are stuck together bit by bit, carefully and patiently.
During this period, Puius still needs to use his powerful magic power to control the evil spirit from backlash...
A slight mistake may lead to an irreversible mistake.
However, fortunately, the ending has always been developing in the direction that the three of them expected.
Raymond worked sleeplessly for two days and two nights, and finally peeled off the evil spirit and sealed it in his notebook. The "evil spirit" felt very dangerous to him, so sealing it made people feel slightly at ease.
.
After the spell was cast, the big rocks in the hearts of the three people in the mage tower also fell.
Even Puius did not expect that Raymond would master the full-level "Spirit-Restraining General" skill.
When he thought about it, he had just obtained the "Heart and Forehead Bone Powder of the Undead Skeleton War Horse" and he must have just advanced to Sequence 6 [Soul Master], so he must have learned that skill just now.
No matter how talented you are, you can't learn it right away...but this guy showed off a wave of "proficient" soul-peeling techniques right under your nose.
It really puzzled him.
...
The evil spirit attached to the soul of the elf boy was successfully separated, and everyone was happy.
After two days and two nights of non-stop casting, it was true that he was about to collapse. As for the "cost of casting", Raymond didn't dare to fool around anymore.
Before entering the Ghost Castle, he thought that the "lost thirty years of life" joke might be able to deceive others. But after seeing part of the strength of Puius blessed by the Necromancer Tower, he gave up this idea.
A top-level necromancer can easily feel the fluctuations of the soul, including... lies!
This is the subtle feeling that Raymond experienced personally during the cooperative spell casting process.
Not long after,
Just after Mengge fed the boy a few "mysterious potions", the unconscious elf boy opened his eyes immediately.
Raymond could see clearly that the system showed that those bottles of unknown liquid were [Moon Spring Water]!
To his surprise, he did not talk about the restorative power of the spring water, but... the "Moon Spring", the holy spring of the elves known as the "source of magic", "source of wisdom" and "source of life" in myths and legends, is actually real.
exist!
...
This is a completely unfamiliar environment, and the strong aura of the undead surrounding it would make anyone feel very uncomfortable.
The dark air on this elf boy's face faded away, and his handsome and enviable face immediately glowed with radiance, and a noble aura emerged from his handsome brows.
The first thing he said when he woke up was: "General Mengge, where am I?"
When Meng Ge heard him speak, his eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly explained: "Your Highness, we are in the human world now. You have been cursed by the demon priest and have been unconscious, and the elders of the tribe have no way to save you.
After everyone discussed it, I will take you to the human world for help. With the blessing of the goddess of nature, you are safe and sound..."
Your Highness?
Raymond on the side suddenly twitched his eyelids when he heard this title.
Why did the "young master" we agreed to suddenly change to "your highness"?
Obviously, this young man is not an ordinary high elf, he is probably a prince of the elf clan.
However, there is no need to investigate such trivial details as being deceived by a big boss. The more famous the person he saves, the more Raymond feels he will gain for his efforts.
...
After hearing Meng Ge briefly describe the situation,
The Elf Prince asked again: "Have I been unconscious for a long time?"
Mongo: "Six months."
"It's been so long..."
The elven royal family suddenly frowned and asked again: "What about the war?"
Meng Ge: "Not too optimistic. When I brought you to the human world, the demon army had already occupied the Khedir Mountains, and Her Highness Isa was leading the people to fight hard."
"That's very dangerous..."
The elf prince felt a little melancholy, and said to himself: "Sister, it must be very hard for me to resist."
Hearing this, Meng Ge's eyes were covered with mist, and he turned around and said excitedly: "Your Highness, if you wake up, we can launch a counterattack!"
The elf prince nodded and did not continue to ask the questions of the elves. He instead asked: "Did this human save me?"
Raymond was the only living person in the room, so naturally he didn't mean anyone else.
Meng Ge nodded, "Yes, without this little brother Raymond, it would be very dangerous."
"Thank you for your hard work, General Meng Ge."
After saying this, the elf boy slowly stood up.
He straightened out his somewhat wrinkled robes, performed an ancient high elf salute towards Raymond's chest with a serious face, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Raymond Warrior. I, Igor Georg Ki
Hitler is extremely grateful for your assistance."
"You're welcome."
Raymond said quickly.
Although the other party looks young, he is obviously a prince of the elves and has a respected status. What's more, as a mythical race like the elves, they can easily live for thousands of years. Although the boy named Ige in front of him is not yet an adult
, but there are probably some who are 180 years old.
Use honorifics and you won't suffer any loss.
After a pause, he added: "I just tried my best... Moreover, without Lord Puius, I would not have been able to successfully cast a spell to rescue His Highness."
The work is done, and everyone sees your contribution.
Therefore, when you should be humble, you still have to be humble.
The benefits cannot be exclusive. At this time, if you give a local snake like Puius a sense of presence, the favorability of all parties will increase quickly.
Hearing a new name, Eagle was slightly confused.
Obviously, there was no fourth living person present.
Meng Ge promptly explained: "Puius is Wei Chen's only friend in the human world. He is a powerful necromancer."
By saying this, Iger obviously sensed a certain existence in the mage tower.
He raised his head and said toward the top of the tower: "Mr. Powerful Magician, thank you for your helping hand. The elves will remember your kindness for generations to come."
"Your Highness Ige, I'm sorry that I can't go down to the tower in person. Mengge is my most sincere friend, and I will not refuse his request. I feel honored to be able to gain the friendship of the elves..."
Puyos's voice echoed in the magic tower. Even at this time, he had no intention of showing up.
Raymond also became more and more curious about what this "Pius X" looked like.
...
After some thanks,
Meng Ge and Prince Ige were anxious to return to the Elf Secret Realm to participate in the decisive battle, so the topic naturally turned back to rewards.
Watching people leave,
Of course, it was impossible for Raymond to go back with them. This "friendship of the elves"...he planned to cash it out first.
Now that he has just won more than 20 billion gold coins, there is no shortage of money for the time being. As for the ancient forbidden spells and magic, they are of little use to him as a swordsman. Divine weapons? If you give him such a thing, he won't be able to use it now, and there are
With the magic sword in hand, although other artifacts are powerful, they are not urgently needed.
At this time, he suddenly thought of the [Moon Spring Water] just now, and immediately realized what he wanted.
"Um...Your Highness Ige, have you ever heard of these three things: 'Heart of the Dragon', 'Tears of Odin' and 'Moon Stone'?"
These are the three god-level materials needed for Colin Cruz's alchemical body.
Raymond had asked his third uncle before, but no one had heard of these things. Apparently there were several big guys in front of him, so maybe he could find out if he asked.
"Of the three things you mentioned, I only know about the 'Moon Stone'. It is a gemstone born in the 'Moon Spring', the holy spring of our elves, and contains powerful natural power..."
Prince Ige obviously understood what Raymond wanted, and said instead: "If it were before, there would be no problem in giving you one. But now the demons have invaded, and the Moon Spring has been captured... I want to get the moon.
I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a stone.”
Hearing this, Raymond frowned slightly. If the princes of the elves said it was difficult, then it might be really not easy to get it. Finally, he found out the whereabouts of an item that Colin needed, and now...
.There seems to be no hope?
At this time, Ige said firmly: "This time I will lead my master in a decisive battle with the demons when I go back. If I win, I will send someone to Moon Spring to collect a 'moon stone' and bring it to you."
Obviously, this tone has the feeling of being generous enough to die.
If it fails...all bets are off.
...
In the end, no reward was negotiated.
Instead of getting some useless things that are not urgently needed and being left behind, it is better to store this "elf friendship" somewhere and leave a chance for the future.
Raymond worked hard and came back empty-handed.
Even, from beginning to end, he never saw Puyus himself.
...
I said goodbye to a few people in a daze, and left the Ghost Castle in a daze.
that moment,
When Raymond walked on the empty street, he felt like he was waking up from a big dream.
"Eh...that's not right! How could someone like me, Yan Guo Mao Lei, become helpful and philanthropic...without any intention of repaying anything in return?"
Could it be that he was brainwashed by undead magic?
...
Just after Raymond, Eagle and Mengge walked out of the Castle of the Dead,
A certain half-human, half-ghost "corpse witch" on the eleventh floor of the mage tower muttered a few words to himself: "Teacher, your descendant has appeared..."
