A few seconds later, as Jason breathed, white puffs of breath began to appear.
At the same time, in the shadows in the distance, a trail spreads out.
The path is pale.
Built entirely from human bones.
The thigh bones serve as supports, the entire ribs serve as the road surface, and the skulls serve as street lights.
Every meter forward, green flames will light up in the skull's eye sockets.
After a few breaths, the trail appeared in front of Jason's feet.
Click, click.
Amidst the sound of bones rubbing together, a skeleton kneeling on one knee appeared on the bone path in front of Jason's feet, holding an open letter on the raised hand bones.
The letter paper was an old yellow color, with curly writing on it——
New friends:
I have prepared fine wine and delicious food.
I hope you can accept my invitation.
Gravekeeper
Kr1342.8.29
…
Jason didn't pick up the letter. He twitched his nose.
There is a faint smell of wine and a hint of food.
Especially the latter!
It is ‘food’ in the true sense of the word to him!
Therefore, Jason stepped onto this bone path without hesitation.
The moment Jason took a step forward, the rising skeleton disappeared.
When Jason's feet stepped on the bone path, the entire path began to move, like a conveyor belt.
Soon, Jason, who was standing on the Bone Trail, passed through the streets and alleys of Terte and entered an unknown place.
The surrounding land is barren.
Dry plants.
The exposed ground has long since dried up and cracked.
This is not the landscape near Terte.
At least, Jason hasn't seen it.
Instead, it’s a bit like the ‘small world’ of the evil dragon Doyle.
But, it's a little different.
Because, this is not complete enough!
It doesn't have the sense of completeness of a 'small world', it's a bit like an incomplete copy.
Jason looked around and commented secretly.
About two minutes later,
A huge cemetery appeared in Jason's field of vision.
The cemetery in front of us does not have any external walls, and we can clearly see the layers of tombstones of different shapes. In the center of the cemetery, a tombstone that is a thousand meters high stands there, like a mountain peak.
The tombstones surrounded by layers showed a slope, and the bone path began to move upward.
Jason stood firmly on top.
Ignoring the raised handrail.
By the time the Bone Trail came to a stop, Jason was already standing in front of the mountain-like tombstone.
Under the tombstone, a rectangular table covered with a white tablecloth has been prepared.
There are high-backed chairs on either side of the table.
In the middle of the table, there is a black vase.
There is a bouquet of pale yellow chrysanthemums inside.
"Nice flower, isn't it?"
"I bought it at Turte's flower shop this morning."
In a slightly old voice, a thin old man with white beard and hair came out.
The opponent is not only skinny, but also a little stooped, and he is holding a cane in his hand.
Jason looked at the other person, not surprised at all.
As early as when he set foot on the Bone Trail, Jason sensed the other party's existence.
No matter how hard the other party tries to hide, Jason's perception at this moment is that there is nothing to hide.
Jason looked at the other person.
The other party was also looking at Jason.
Then, he shook his head and sighed.
"Jason, you are younger than I thought!"
The other party sighed.
Then, he raised his hand and motioned for Jason to sit down.
He walked straight to the seat on the other side.
Jason and the other party's high-backed chairs moved away automatically without having to do anything personally.
Jason looked behind the high-backed chair.
The faint shadow was extremely clear in his perception at this moment.
The other party was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and a red bow tie. He meticulously pulled out his chair, bowed to Jason, and made a gesture of invitation.
Ghost attendant?
Jason thought.
"Most of the time, ghosts are less troublesome than living people."
"Loyalty is unparalleled."
"That's what I thought when I created the [Corpse Whisper Contract] - unfortunately, the original creation was not perfect and was a bit rough."
The hunched old man opposite said this.
The words are self-effacing.
However, what he didn't expect was that Jason nodded.
"Well, it's indeed rough."
The rickety old man:???
He just humbled himself, and then, shouldn't Jason also be polite?
Then, he brought up today's topic.
And now?
He couldn't react. His words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
He could only cover it up with bursts of dry laughter.
"From the perspective of the 'Night Watch', Jason, what do you think of the [Corpse Whisper Contract]?"
While laughing, the rickety old man quickly came back to his senses and said.
"have."
"Very rough."
Jason nodded again and said.
The rickety old man was suffocated.
The hand placed under the tablecloth was clenched into a fist.
What he just said as "rough" was self-effacing.
Now, Jason is grabbing him and chasing after him.
You must know that at the beginning, with his vision and strength, he was able to create a secret technique like [Corpse Whisper Contract], which was really something extraordinary. Even now, he is quite proud of it.
Even some of his old enemies who usually look down upon him still admire his talents.
Even though he didn't say it, he knew it.
But now?
A mere junior actually mocked him again and again.
Really...
calm!
calm!
Don't ruin the situation in front of you because of a momentary dispute of temper.
"That's right, that's right."
"It's a little rough."
"So, I perfected it over the next few days."
As he spoke, the rickety old man raised his hand.
Suddenly, a piece of text floated above the rectangular dining table.
Densely packed.
It also comes with many images.
Not only are they numerous, but they are also extremely complex.
Jason was stunned as soon as he saw it.
Of course, that's not what happened to Jason.
But because——
[Discover the full version of the ‘Corpse Whisper Contract’, yes/no, it consumes 2000 satiety, 100 points of excitement for food promotion, and 5 points of pleasure for food? 】
…
The text in front of him was what made Jason stunned.
The rickety old man obviously misunderstood.
Looking at Jason in a daze, he raised his hand again and the text pattern immediately disappeared.
He was not worried about Jason remembering the complete [Corpse Whisper Contract].
You know, it took him more than ten years to re-research this after he became the origin of the 'Gravekeeper'. The theoretical text just displayed exceeds a million words, not to mention the patterns.
No matter how talented you are, you can't remember it at a glance.
This was one of the reasons why he dared to show it to Jason directly.
And another reason?
Of course it’s ‘bait’!
The ‘bait’ that attracts Jason!
Now it looks like the effect is pretty good.
"Jason, as a new member among us, you may not know much about the world we live in now - it is much more complicated than the world others live in, not only in strength, but also in power, as well as some new
the rule of."
"I would like to be your guide and let you know these new rules."
"Do not misunderstand!"
"These rules are not rules!"
"It's a way for you to continue to be strong..."
The rickety old man showed a rather kind smile.
“There is no such thing as a free lunch, what do I have to pay?”
Jason leaned back slightly and asked while choosing to perfect the [Corpse Whisper Contract].
"Alliance!"
"We need an alliance!"
"At the same time, the 'career' you are about to create must have a shadow of 'gravekeeper'!"
"Of course!"
"I will also tell you more about the power of the 'Gravekeeper'!"
"Including the just completed version of [Corpse Whisper Contract]!"
The rickety old man finally revealed his purpose.
Of course, this purpose is disguised in many ways.
He won't reveal his true purpose.
Once you say it, you will never stop.
Of course, this is not cheating!
He also paid.
However, what you pay and receive, the latter far exceeds the former.
It's probably like throwing out a sesame seed and harvesting a mountain of gold.
The rickety old man looked at the thoughtful Jason without disturbing him.
But he is confident.
He believed Jason would agree.
Because, the current Jason has never understood their world at all.
I have never had any contact with those guys.
They have no idea what is really important at their level.
Of course, so what if we come into contact?
It's impossible for those guys to tell each other such a secret.
Or……
Those guys had the same plan as him.
The only one who's a bit troublesome is that bastard 'Night Watcher'.
However, the other party is now held back by a card game and has no resources to spare.
So, now is my best chance!
Thinking of this, the rickety old man became more and more anxious, but he still kept a smile on the surface.
At this time, Jason sat up straight.
In front of his eyes, words appeared——
[Corpse Whisper Contract. Mastery supplement is complete! 】
[Corpse Contract. Mastery (Complete): An unexpected peek gives you an extraordinary understanding of the dead. Now you can enslave the dead through the contract (the initial number of slaves will be based on your mental power and the number of enslaved souls)
The strength of the dead souls is determined. When you complete the initially determined number of enslaved dead souls, subsequent enslaved dead souls will be able to be grafted on the previous dead souls. The strength of the dead souls that have been grafted will be affected to a certain extent. At the same time, such grafting
You need a complex ritual assistance to complete), mastery options, additional servitude number +1 (this is the additional option obtained when grafting the dead soul, when the original dead soul reaches its own spiritual limit, you can choose to keep it, or you can choose to continue
With grafting summons, you can graft a dead soul that exceeds your own original mental limit, but when the grafted dead soul suffers fatal damage, the grafted dead soul will also suffer fatal damage!】
(Note 1: There are three necessary conditions required to enslave the dead!)
(1, you must know the name of the dead soul)
(2. The time of death of the deceased cannot exceed 1 week)
(3. You must have contact with the body of the deceased - at least unobstructed contact with your fingertips.)
(Note 2: The dead souls have the memory and power of the past, but they cannot resist you.)
(Note 3: When you start enslaving the souls in a complete way, you will not be able to release the souls.)
…
The new [Corpse Whisper Contract] that appeared greatly exceeded the original one.
When the number of dead souls in the contract is unlimited, it is almost a qualitative change!
Moreover, the labeling has also changed.
The original annotation 3 disappeared.
New annotations 2 and 3 have also changed.
"Complete slavery?"
Jason looked at the new labels 2 and 3 and thought to himself.
"How do you think about it?"
asked the rickety old man.
"Sincerity!"
"I need more sincerity!"
"The complete [Corpse Whisper Contract] is good, but what about the others?"
Jason said.
The other party had bad intentions, Jason knew this before the other party showed up.
Before the Bone Trail appeared, he could clearly sense the other party's malice.
And now?
After reading the complete [Corpse Whisper Contract] again, Jason was even more sure.
How could such a guy who favors complete enslavement of others cooperate with good intentions?
I'm afraid what I'm thinking about in my heart is how to enslave him, right?
For such people, Jason directly regarded them as enemies.
However, before that, Jason wouldn't mind if he could get more benefits.
After all, sugar-coat the cannonball, eat the icing, and throw the cannonball back - this is the best tradition.
"You don't believe that I have truly perfected the specialty of 'Gravekeeper'?"
The rickety old man showed no sign of anger, but instead smiled.
Then, the other party raised his hand.
Immediately, above the rectangular dining table, the complete versions of [Reviving Skeleton. Mastery], [Corpse Qi Attachment. Mastery], and [Bone Protection] appeared.
Not only these, there are also three complete versions of [War Puppet], [Malevolent Curse], and [Avatar Body] that Jason has never seen before.
These words and images are also fleeting.
But the words in front of Jason's eyes——
[Discover the full version of ‘Resurrection Skeleton. Mastery’, yes/no consumption of 1000 satiety, 50 food excitement promotion? 】
[Discover the full version of ‘Corpse Attachment. Mastery’, yes/no consume 1000 satiety, 50 food excitement promotion? 】
[Discover the full version of 'Guardian of Bones', yes/no, it consumes 1000 satiety, 50 food excitement promotion? 】
[Discover the full version of ‘War Puppet’, yes/no, it consumes 2000 satiety and 100 food excitement to learn? 】
[Discover the full version of ‘Malevolent Curse’, yes/no, it consumes 2000 satiety and 100 food excitement to learn? 】
[Discover the full version of ‘War Puppet’, yes/no, it consumes 2000 satiety and 100 food excitement to learn? 】
[Discover the complete version of ‘Void Body’, yes/no, it consumes 2000 satiety and 100 food excitement to learn? 】
…
[Resurrected Skeleton. Mastery], [Corpse Attachment. Mastery], [Bone Protection] These three specialties were obtained at the fourth and fifth levels of 'Gravekeeper', and then the new [War Puppet], [
Malicious Curse] and [Incarnate Body] should be the sixth and seventh level specialties of 'Gravekeeper'.
Looking at the series of prompts in front of him, Jason almost said thank you to the rickety old man in front of him.
He just tried it out, but he didn't expect the other party to be so generous.
However, the more this happened, the more certain Jason became.
The rickety old man in front of me has evil intentions.
Jason calmly chose promotion and study, and then asked hesitantly——
