The shining coins radiated an eerie light on the table.
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at it, first stretched out his hand to calm the agitated old Borg, and then turned to the Necromancer and asked: "Soul Captor? Can you explain to me the origin of your nickname?"
Ever since he had the ability to "identify lies," Zhou Qingfeng has loved chatting with others. He can judge other people's mental states from their words and take the initiative in conversations.
In fact, lies also come with information. At least you know what others want to hide or mislead. When the amount of information is large enough and the lies are eliminated enough, the truth cannot be hidden.
In the eyes of others, Zhou Qingfeng is now very friendly and likes to chat with everyone. Because he can get the bottom of things during chats. The more information he controls, the stronger his rule will be.
The Necromancer laughed, but he was calm, "Because I have absorbed the souls of many people, others gave me such a nickname."
"I guess that nickname is very appropriate."
"Yes. But I never force others, nor do I cheat. I believe in fair dealing, and all consequences are made clear. It's just that stupid people never admit this. They only see that I took away the soul, but never
Don’t talk about the benefits I gave you.”
Take away the soul?
Zhou Qingfeng suddenly felt something in his heart and asked: "Are you dealing with the existence of the abyss or hell?"
The red light in the eyes of the 'Soul Capturer' flashed. This time he did not make a sound, but asked Zhou Qingfeng secretly with his soul vibrating: "Do you also know those extremely evil guys?"
Zhou Qingfeng looked at the other party with a sneer, and whispered: "I know a succubus from the abyss, and it is always tempting me to send it a powerful soul. I wonder if you will be the same?"
The necromancer seemed to have seen his comrade, and his tone became sharp and urgent, mixed with joy as he asked: "Unexpectedly, you know a succubus? I have always wanted to summon a succubus but never succeeded.
I know an old hag who lives in purgatory. Compared with succubi, old hags are too ugly. Their skin is covered with granular sarcoma, their faces are as old as dehydrated oranges, and their hair is like rotten waterweed. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
......,too ugly."
Zhou Qingfeng had a strange feeling. After having a common topic, the necromancer suddenly became talkative. The two of them could even be friends. He teased: "You are already like this, why do you care about beauty and ugliness?
.”
The Necromancer shouted angrily: "Do you think I want to become like this? I was also a normal wizard back then, and I was all killed by that old hag. I was called the Soul Captor just to satisfy the old hag's demands.
The endless demands for the soul.
Brother, I want to remind you as a person who has been through this before that you must always be careful when dealing with those extremely evil guys. Otherwise, you will become like me, and there is no point in regretting it.
In order to obtain souls, those evil guys will set up countless traps for you, constantly oppressing you, and making you miserable. If you have any doubts about your transactions with the Abyss in the future, you can ask me. I have too much experience in this area.
enriched."
The necromancer was full of bitterness. It was rare to find a 'friend' like Zhou Qingfeng who shared the same problem with whom he could talk. He said a lot of things in one breath. The latter looked at the other party's shameful appearance and nodded to be more vigilant.
....
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. In the future, we can work on a special research topic called "Characteristics of Evil Creatures and Rules of Soul Trading." I believe there will be great gains." Zhou Qingfeng even took the initiative to extend his hand...
The Necromancer chuckled, and it was so ugly. He also nodded repeatedly, indicating that we could have more exchanges in this regard in the future. Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the strange coin, "Your Excellency, continue. I am very interested. "
Purgatory is the territory of the devil, but there are more than just devils in purgatory. The old hag is also an extremely cunning and evil creature, but most people don't know much about it, let alone make deals with it.
"I found an ancient altar during an adventure, and it helped me contact an old hag in purgatory. It wanted souls, and I wanted arcane knowledge and spell-casting materials. We met each other's needs.
At the beginning, the transaction was very pleasant. But as time went by, my advancement became slower and slower, and I needed more and more materials. In the end, I even had to mortgage my soul to the old hag, and then I lost my life. It ended up like this now.
But the evil old hag would not be satisfied with this. She asked me to collect more souls. I had to find a way - I made this kind of soul-absorbing coin. Anyone who controls the coin can borrow the arcane spell I prepared. and ability.
Every time I provide a gray soul, I can use all the zero-level magic tricks I prepared that day. The red soul corresponds to the arcane spells below level one, the orange soul corresponds to arcana spells below level two, and so on. I can provide up to level four arcana spells, which correspond to green spells. soul."
Hearing this correspondence, Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said: "This kind of transaction is too cost-effective. A fireball wand only costs 5,000 gold coins, and it can spray ten shots in one breath. Can the fireball wand be exchanged for ten topaz? One You can’t even change it.”
The necromancer did not expect Zhou Qingfeng to break the relationship directly, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He quickly said: "For people who can't cast spells..."
Zhou Qingfeng interrupted forcefully, "I might as well spend money to buy a fireball staff, it's cheap and easy to use."
The Necromancer was not annoyed and continued: "The soul-absorbing coin also allows you to use all my abilities, which is equivalent to becoming a Necromancer. My abilities are not only about casting spells, but also include my decades of knowledge. "
"Some people who live for decades are still useless." Zhou Qingfeng still shook his head, "You are called the 'Soul Capturer', and in the end you must have taken away the souls of the people who used this coin. No, no, among them There must be a trick hidden there, what a shame."
The Necromancer waved his hands repeatedly, "No tricks, no tricks, it's all fair trade. As long as you use the coins and pay the corresponding souls, there will be no problem at all. Having more abilities at critical moments will actually make you live longer. .”
But Zhou Qingfeng just shook his head, shook his head, and shook his head again, and said: "I would rather not have a power that cannot be directly controlled. Mr. Mondino, if you are here to sell soul-absorbing coins, you might as well join my team directly."
"What?" The Necromancer was a little stunned.
"As long as you don't do evil, my village can be your place to stay. You can come and go freely, and I won't interfere. If I need it, I may make demands on you and pay you."
Mondino suddenly laughed, "Sir Hugo, you seem to be only a level two necromancer, while I am a level seven necromancer. Are you recruiting me?"
"You can say yes, you can say no." Zhou Qingfeng was noncommittal, "I am very interested in the ability of a necromancer, but I will never force it."
Mondino fell into deep thought and then asked: "I heard rumors that you had a fight with the goblins and defeated the double possessed by the evil god. Is this true?"
"Please decide for yourself whether you have or not." Zhou Qingfeng just smiled, "Oh... that's right! You are a necromancer, can you summon skeletons?"
Mondino felt that this boy was asking questions knowingly.
Zhou Qingfeng gave a high-five and shouted excitedly: "I really like skeletons."
