Chapter 638: Goliath (2-in-1)
Li Shuyi has always been the first to look at Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Rui is not Bai Xiaowen's teammate, and she will not raise any objections.
Bai Xiaowen used the S+ prop: Book of Sublimation on the "Broken Slave Contract", and watching the light shine, his thoughts flew for 0.1 seconds.
Originally, Bai Xiaowen asked for an upgrade to the reward of this S+ elite task, but the "big guy" behind the scenes refused coldly, but in the end, he was given an upgrade reward, and the page of God's gift was upgraded to a book of sublimation. It is also worth paying an extra 10,000 psionic points for this.
From this point of view, the "big guy" behind the scenes got the Grim Reaper's hand bones, and he should be in a good mood.
What Bai Xiaowen wants to complain about is that this "big guy" is afraid that he is a little arrogant...... said that he would not give an upgrade, but in the end he gave it.
A burst of psionic particles enveloped it, and then the light dispersed, and the original broken slave contract had changed dramatically.
[Powerful Follower Contract: S+-level item, sign a contract with humanoid creatures below the boss template (including the boss template) to make them your followers.] The other party must be completely willing to sign a contract (not in a state of confusion, charm, dementia, etc., and must not have a sense of resistance), otherwise there will be a chance of failure, and the higher the level of the other party, the stronger the template, the higher the probability of failure. γ
There is a special note at the end:
"If your template or level is lower than the target humanoid, the chance of contract failure increases, and the greater the gap between the two sides, the higher the chance of failure. β
Follower is a new term for Bai Xiaowen, and he looked up the meaning of follower.
After completing the SS-level elite scavenger mission, Bai Xiaowen's scavenger title was upgraded to the intermediate level. Perhaps for this reason, the rules of the spirit world were quick to give an answer.
Generally speaking, the Awakened can choose a spirit figure or another Awakened Person to make a follower contract so that the other person becomes their "follower".
Unlike minions, followers have their own personalities and wills, and can use equipment, items, and learn skills, which is equivalent to having one more teammate. In addition, followers do not enjoy the master's mental power bonus.
As a master, it is not possible to force the will of the followers to act. However, the master holds the power of life and death of his followers, and with just one thought, he can wipe out his followers.
Also, if the owner dies, so does the follower. So in general, the loyalty of followers is not to be worried.
However, signing a follower contract is not an easy task, and if the other party has the heart to resist, you 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 the follower contract is used on the awakened, no matter how strong the other party is, it cannot be forcibly signed. As long as the other party has the heart to resist, the contract is bound to fail.
"Let's take it for now...... I'm thinking about how to use this thing. β
Bai Xiaowen put away the Strong Follower Contract, and then looked at Golia, who was on the altar, stiff and motionless.
"After all this time, it's time to see how Gloria is doing. β
The three of them walked over to the altar and took a closer look.
Golia's face, neck, and other exposed skin had taken on an eerie dead white, as if she had some kind of skin disease. The black qi is constantly circulating on the surface of her body, and every time it passes through a piece of skin, it will cause a large area of skin tissue to die and fall off.
Such is the terrible power of the curse of death.
If it were a different person, the whole body would have been cursed by death to rot, and the dead could no longer die.
However, above Golia's skin, there was also a faint blazing white flame, constantly chasing the black qi. When passing through the necrotic skin tissue, the blazing white flame will emit a "sizzling" sound, like boiling oil roasting the flesh.
Although the light flame has a purifying effect, after which it stops the decay of the skin, causing it to turn bloodless white, the pain is terrifying to think about.
Goliath has been standing here for a long time, and every second of this time is purgatory.
Her blue eyes were bloodshot at the whites of her eyes.
Bai Xiaowen stood opposite Golia, sighed, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "I'm sorry." β
At that time, Bai Xiaowen was lurking on the side, and Goliath was deceived by the fake prince Richard to get the sealing box. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are the only two people in the audience who know the ins and outs.
If Bai Xiaowen had reminded her, maybe Golia would not have fallen for this and ended up in such a miserable end.
However, Bai Xiaowen had scruples and chose forbearance. This was where he felt ashamedβafter all, Goliath was one of the few noble spirits he had ever met, kind, upright, and steadfast...... With all the Western chivalric virtues in the usual sense.
[And she is beautiful and has a good figure...... Bai Xiaowen silently added in his heart.
Of course, even if Bai Xiaowen had a strong sense of justice at that time and stood up to stop Golia, saying that Prince Richard was an impostor, it would be difficult to gain Golia's trust. If he gives up the stealth state of the Night Raven Feather, it is even more likely that he will be besieged by Richard, Golantis and others, which is too dangerous.
With two elite side quests above the S rank, and having achieved the last step, Bai Xiaowen will never allow himself to make mistakes.
After all, how can I help Goliath so that my heart is better?
Bai Xiaowen stared at Golia's blue eyes. Goliath was watching him too.
"Hiss ......"
A hoarse voice rang out from Golia's throat, but alas, it wasn't a sentence at all.
This level 8 leader powerhouse, under the double torture of the curse of death and the power of light in his body, couldn't even say a word, and his vocal cords were probably broken.
Bai Xiaowen sighed and said: "This shows that Golia's actual situation is more serious than it seems, she is not only damaged by the skin on the surface of her body, but it is estimated that her internal organs have also been tossed to death." β
"It's pathetic. Li Shuyi turned her head a little unbearably.
"Her soul is crying," Qiao Rui said with her eyes slightly closed, rubbing her eyebrows, "She wants you to take matters into your own hands and end her pain." β
Although he couldn't move or speak, from Golia's blue eyes, Bai Xiaowen could also see three words:
Kill me.
"Okay. Bai Xiaowen sighed, maybe killing Golia and ending her torture was the best choice.
And at this moment, Delifa's voice came from the black soul stone, which sounded directly in Bai Xiaowen's mind:
"Master, I have to warn you that if you kill her, the power of the Grim Reaper's curse is likely to be transmitted to you. β
"Huh?" Bai Xiaowen was startled, and lowered his raised hand, "Are you sure?"
"I've been dissecting the vampire Maharaja Marcus's memory fragments, and in the process, my sealed memories have recovered a little," Delifa seemed to change a little and whispered, "The Grim Reaper's Curse carries the restless will of Naraku, the Grim Reaper, and will not disappear with Golia's death. β
"So what to do. Bai Xiaowen asked.
"The host had the option to leave as far as possible. According to my assessment, Golia's blessing of light power in her body will continue to wear away the power of the Death Curse, and it should be a stalemate for a long time...... Maybe when the time comes, the power of the Grim Reaper's curse will be worn out. β
"If the power of the Grim Reaper's curse is consumed, will Golia still live?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Delifa's tone: "Master, a mortal cannot survive the decay and necrosis of his body. β
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 earlier? or kill Golia, and then use the resurrection water to resurrect her. β
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and refused: "No, the Resurrection Divine Water is too precious, it is equivalent to the second life of the spirit creature, and it can't be used up like this." Moreover, killing her will cause the Grim Reaper curse to be transferred to us. β
Bai Xiaowen is very sensible, and he will not use up this precious gold prop because of momentary sympathy. He did feel sympathy and even sorry for Golia, but not to the extent that he was desperate to save her.
When he drew the resurrection divine water, Bai Xiaowen had an idea that this golden prop should be left for Cecilia of the white stone collar as a guarantee.
Unless he encounters a benefit that is much higher than that of the Resurrection Divine Water, Bai Xiaowen will consider using it in advance.
Rescuing Goliath, of course, is profitable, but the benefits are too low. If Goliath 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 level and template of the target cannot be higher than that of the user, and Goliath's level of up to level 8 is destined to not meet the requirements for the use of the contract.
"If the master wants to end her suffering, he can also consider another way. β
Say. β
"The master can transform Goliath into a death knight!"
"Didn't the master get a 'frozen heart' after killing the Death Knight Kyle? The owner can place the Frozen Heart in Goliath's chest to replace the necrotic heart. β
"And then, what about the Grim Reaper's curse?"
"I can help Goliath and suck all the negative energy of the Death's Curse into the Frozen Heart, which is a great supplement for her, and can speed up her transformation process." β
After a pause, Goliath said: "However, helping Goliath transform into a death knight costs soul essence, and it is estimated that there is not much left of the hundreds of soul essences that the master has gained from fighting in the Great Mausoleum. Moreover, even if the master can obtain the allegiance of Golia, there is no way to take her out of the Aaronic plane. β
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "End her pain and get the help of a high-ranking leader, Death Knight, in the remaining time...... Would you pay for an S-class special treasure, the Frozen Heart, and a few hundred soul essences? Drifa, are you sure the transformation will be successful?"
Delifa is very confident: "Master rest assured, I have analyzed all the memory fragments of Marcus, which contain the knowledge steps to transform into a death knight, and I will definitely succeed." β
"Okay, let's get started. β
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes, took out the frozen heart, and then summoned Delifa.
The hot body and cool dressed Dementor Banshee Delifa startled Qiao Rui as soon as she appeared.
"Brother Xiaowen has another summoned creature, how can he dress like this?" Qiao Rui looked at Delifa, as if she had seen a legendary bewitching jian......
"Uh......"
βemmm......β
Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen were a little embarrassed.
However, Qiao Rui is a few years older after all, and her receptivity is stronger. After the initial surprise, she looked up and down at Delifa's sexy figure, and said with a smile: "It's really an enviable golden ratio, and these measurements are ...... Men should like this. β
Looking at Qiao Rui's playful smile, Bai Xiaowen inexplicably had an embarrassing feeling of being broken by his sister at *****, which was very ridiculous.
"Ahem, I'm a decent person, Delifa said, and it's good for her to fight. "Bai Xiaowen is serious.
"Heh, man. β
Qiao Rui pursed her lips slightly, "What did you summon her out for?"
The conversation between Bai Xiaowen and Delifa before was all psychic transmission, and Qiao Rui didn't know.
Bai Xiaowen then explained that he was going to transform Goliath into a death knight.
Li Shuyi hesitated for a moment: "Will Goliath be willing to become a death knight? β
Qiao Rui stared into Golia's eyes, and after a few seconds, she spoke:
"Strange, she seems to ...... Very willingly. β
"Good. Drifa, let's get started. Bai Xiaowen ordered.
"Yes. Delifa took the Frozen Heart, then untied Golia's armor and conjured a spirit dagger in her right hand, slicing it open against Golia's chest, revealing the necrotic heart inside......
This scene was a bit bloody, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, as well as Qiao Rui, all turned their backs and walked off the altar.
"I still don't understand why Goliath would want to be transformed into a Death Knight. Li Shuyi was puzzled.
Bai Xiaowen said thoughtfully: "It may be driven by unwillingness and hatred. After this betrayal of Richard, her values may collapse and reshape. How loyal she had been to the Empire before, she hated the Empire now. β
Qiao Rui lightly pressed a finger against the arc of her jaw: "I heard that the death knights are all transformed by genuine knights." The more strong the knight's beliefs are, the stronger he will be after being transformed into a death knight. I really don't know what kind of monster Golia will be transformed into under the curse of death. β
There is also a bonus effect of the soul essence. Bai Xiaowen silently added in his heart.
"Let's not talk about this for now...... Bai Xiaowen diverted the topic, "Senior sister, I remember you said it...... As long as we meet again in the spiritual realm, it means that we are destined. Can I invite you to join my team now?"
Qiao Rui chuckled, this seemingly coincidental reunion was actually a special rush from her, which she believed Bai Xiaowen was also very clear about. However, Bai Xiaowen was still very smart and did not take the initiative to expose it.
Qiao Rui was not pretentious, and readily agreed: "Okay." Does your squad now have a third spot, though?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "Our team was originally only level 2, but after doing the task of raiding North County, we almost reached level 3 with a few hundred team experience. Now it is enough to complete two elite missions above the S grade in succession. β
Bai Xiaowen checked before, when the elite team reaches level 3, there will be a general option of "temporary team member", which just happens to invite Qiao Rui to join.
