Chapter 36: The Expected Encounter

"Your Excellency, the last offense was a misunderstanding, and I was punished, and my consciousness was almost scattered, and now I have recovered a little bit of vitality. ”

Only then did Bai Xiaowen realize that the last time the banshee Delifa failed, it was not because of her own lack of energy, but because she was counterattacked by herself. Thinking about it, the only one who can fight back against Delifa and make him dare not use mental attacks wantonly is that mysterious blood-colored eyeball.

"What are you doing this time?" Bai Xiaowen felt a little more confident in his heart.

"We need soul energy, what I don't understand is that Your Excellency has been refusing to absorb the soul fire of these skeletons...... "The Banshee Delifa said helplessly, "Only by absorbing enough soul energy can Your Lordship's transfer be completed." ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "These lowest-level skeleton warriors, soul energy should be the worst one. I'm going to change jobs, and of course I'm going to absorb stronger soul energy. ”

The Banshee Delifa hesitated and said, "With all due respect, although Your Excellency has a strong will hidden in you, its own strength is a little weak. Killing a large number of low-level skeleton warriors is already a daunting task for you. ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "No, you don't understand. Someone will come and help me complete this task. ”

"No way, I've been watching your movements, and you didn't get anyone to assist you before you set off. The Banshee Delifa said with certainty.

You don't need to know that. Now, take refuge in the Soul Stone. Bai Xiaowen said. He could sense that the banshee seemed to be afraid of him. Fear of one's left eye, to be exact.

The Banshee Delifa was full of doubts, and the image disappeared from the surface of the Soul Stone.

Bai Xiaowen walked towards the depths of the desolate cemetery. Soon, he saw a new kind of bone monster.

Skeleton Archer (Challenge Level 1)

Race: Undead/Bone

Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 7, Constitution 6, Spirit 1

Skill 1: Hollow Skeleton (omitted)

Compared to the Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Archer has the attributes of all aspects, and the combat style has changed from melee to long-range shooting, and the threat level has more than doubled!

Bai Xiaowen quietly advanced, not attacking the skeleton archers. Fortunately, the spirits of the undead creatures are relatively low, so be careful not to be detected.

Walking a few hundred meters deeper into the cemetery, Bai Xiaowen saw new undead monsters, including skeleton warriors with tall and stout skeletons wearing tattered armor, and fat and bloated suture body abomination, and the challenge level also rose from level 1 to level 2 and level 3.

At the entrance of a deep tomb, Bai Xiaowen even saw a monster wearing heavy armor and riding a skeleton war horse, and lost the result of an insight, only to get the name "Horror Knight (Elite)", and the others were all question marks!

"The deeper you go in the graveyard, the stronger the monsters become. Bai Xiaowen didn't dare to continue walking when he arrived here, he shrank next to a tombstone in a remote corner and sat down.

"Master Kevin, since you're here, why don't you show up?" Bai Xiaowen said to the empty cemetery.

It's quiet.

"I know you're here. If it doesn't show up again, I'll break the soul stone. Bai Xiaowen was about to fall.

"How did you know I was here?"

A deep voice rang out, and Kevin's figure appeared at the top of a tombstone not far away. He was still dressed in black robes and held a small wand.

"I guess. Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Hmph. Although I don't know where the flaws are exposed, but forget it, that's not the point," compared to when he saw it in the Lord's Mansion, Kevin's voice was a little more gloomy, and he didn't seem to be too lazy to disguise anything with Bai Xiaowen anymore, and said in a deep voice, "You actually waited for three days, but you are very patient." Now, hand over the Soul Stone, and I can spare you from dying. ”

Bai Xiaowen stood up, there was no fear on his face, and said, "Master Kevin, you can deceive children at most with your words. We all know very well that you can't let me go. ”

Since Kevin wants to take away the soul stone, how can he still leave Bai Xiaowen's life and let him go back to Sharp Helmet City to complain?

With Bai Xiaowen's reputation of reverence among the rebels, what he said has been able to attract the attention of the top echelons of the rebels, and can even reach the ears of the rebel leader Usok.

Even though Kevin is the chief mage and has a high status, snatching the treasure of a reputable rebel warrior will still be rejected by others, and it is almost equivalent to betraying the rebel camp.

Even if Usok wanted to protect him, he had to take into account the significant damage to the image of the rebels after the news spread, and Kevin had to be severely punished.

Therefore, Kevin did not make a move in Pointed Helmet City, but tricked Bai Xiaowen into the frozen cemetery in this wilderness and quietly killed people and seized treasures.

Kevin nodded slightly: "You're not stupid. That's right, today I will take your life with you. Obey me, and you will suffer less. ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Master Kevin, I am indeed far from your opponent. However, I can destroy the soul stone in advance, so that you don't get anything. ”

Kevin shouted coldly: "If you dare to do this, I swear that I will definitely drain your soul and endure eternal torment!"

This sentence is enough to prove that Kevin's previous statement of "not interested in necromancy" is pure falsehood.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen didn't want to smash his transfer props, he said instead: "Master Kevin, I have one condition. As long as you promise, I can offer the soul stone with both hands. ”

"What conditions?" said Kevin warily, "it's impossible to let you go." ”

"I don't have this requirement," Bai Xiaowen said, "My condition is that from the time I hand over the soul stone to you, you must not do anything unfavorable to me within one day, and you must ensure the safety of my life." At the end of the day, it's up to you to do with it. ”

Kevin narrowed his eyes, "What's in it for you to live one more day?"

Kevin has been paying close attention to Bai Xiaowen's unusual behavior in the past few days, and his curiosity is increasing day by day. Driven by curiosity, Kevin wanted to figure out Bai Xiaowen's thoughts.

"One more day is a day. Bai Xiaowen said insincerely.

"I can promise you. Now, give me the Soul Stone. Kevin frowned slightly, and agreed.

"I'm sorry, but I can't believe such a superficial promise. You must swear to the gods!" Bai Xiaowen said solemnly.

In Aaron's world, almost everyone has faith. The Empire believes in the Lord of Light, the Vikings in the North believe in the God of War, the elves believe in the Three Goddesses, the mages believe in the God of Magic, and the dark creatures believe in the various demon gods, etc. Swearing to the gods is not as casual as earthlings.
