Chapter 120: The Second Contract (Part 1)

Daniel is not only practicing on the sixth floor of the Magic Tower these days, but also thinking about the relationship between himself and Salin.

The third-level necromancer is close to the fourth-level elemental mage in combat power. Especially when he has winged skeletons, he doesn't believe that Salin is much better than him.

Even followers have their own dignity. Daniel doesn't want to be called by Salin. The best way is to improve his strength as soon as possible. As long as he advances to level 4, Salin will advance to level 5 at the same time, and is also a great magician, the advantages of the undead mage will be more obvious.

The contract constraint is nothing more than that he cannot hurt Salin and cannot betray him in any way. But as long as his strength is strong enough, Salin cannot force him to do something unreasonable.

Daniel has been studying the ghost fog monster that was broken by Neris, analyzing what kind of undead creature was hidden on the island. When he remembered which magician was on the island, Daniel had the idea of ​​subduing the undead creature privately.

Salin tried to destroy the balance on the island, but he was not worried. On the surface, he was doing it clearly, but in fact he knew clearly that if the seal was loosened, he had to work for at least one month in a row to kill all the ghost fog monsters on the island. However, he did not expect that Salin, an elemental mage, also guessed that there were important undead creatures on the island.

Moreover, Salin's current attitude surprised him. He thought he was very important to Salin, but Salin had no scruples and did not give him any face. He directly talked to him about respect.

Salin didn't care about Daniel's face, and he slowly said, "We Skochenya believe in contracts, and we don't believe anything else. I signed a contract with you to the greatest respect for you. Have you thought about it? Rex will be impatient after waiting outside for a long time."

If Daniel was still in Dongulas, he would definitely sneer at Salin's attitude. But his escape over the years made him understand many truths. Even the necromancer is nothing. Without a backer, it is too difficult for a mage to live a free life.

His property was confiscated, half to the royal family of Dongulas, and half to the Holy Church. His family and slaves were killed, captured, imprisoned, and exiled. Everything he had disappeared, and the only thing left was his winged skeleton.

Now Salin told him that he would take away his winged skeleton and that he no longer had the desire to resist as he used to.

Salin is right, this is a transaction, and whether it is fair depends on what he thinks. If he feels unfair, he shouldn't have signed a contract at the beginning. Since he has signed a contract, he shouldn't have complained about the temptation that Salin gave him.

When you cannot resist, choosing to obey is not too difficult. Most of the time, people fight to the death because they are not used to obedient life. This kind of thing is easy for the first time, the second time.

Salin looked at the little bit of firmness in Daniel's eyes gradually dissipated, and sighed in his heart. But he was not Rex. Rex had a great ideal, and his ideal was very small. He just needed a group of people to help him and Rex do things. He gave Daniel the opportunity to make him his friend, but Daniel was not sure.

Daniel repeatedly tried to deceive and conceal, but Salin was not angry. This was a natural reaction that people should have. But since Daniel made such a choice, Salin could not regard him as a friend who could ignore his interests.

Salin could give Aini a whole piece of black hair crystal, but asked Daniel to exchange for an unfair contract for a piece of fragments. Because Aini chose to date him instead of trying to deceive him. This is a very rare thing for people like Aini. Sometimes, becoming friends with someone is not because this person is a good person, but just because there is a wonderful fate between you and him.

Aini is definitely not a very good person, and he can also be said to be ruthless. But he never did anything to hurt Salin. When the two met, their situation was very bad, and this might be fate. If we met at another time, Aini and Salin might become irreconcilable enemies.

In contrast, Daniel is a relatively peaceful person, just a little selfish. But he is a person like him, but he cannot be close friends with Salin, and the two sides are even full of conflicts.

Daniel never tried to take the initiative to hurt anyone. He was treated unfairly and did not use undead magic to revenge. He just escaped from Dongulas and wanted to start his life again. Otherwise, he lurked in the Dongulas Empire and could use undead magic to kill many nobles who pursued him and the nobles' leaders.

This is all within the scope of the magician's revenge, and Daniel did not do this.

"This undead creature... is very powerful. The first time I saw something sealed with the ghost fog of the entire island, it was at least an eighth level undead creature. And this undead creature should have returned to the undead plane after the death of the undead mage, but now it is stuck here because its power is too strong to pass through the narrow plane coordinates."

"Then why do you want the Winged Skeleton to absorb the ghost fog? What are the benefits of doing this for the Winged Skeleton?"

"There is no benefit. If the undead creature is conquered, it will be worth it even if the Winged Skeleton cannot continue to advance."

"You are really not a qualified magician." Salin used a very serious tone this time, even as if he was scolding. He should treat his first contract creature as if he were friends, and kept allowing it to grow. If Neris wanted anything, Salin would definitely do his best to help her complete it.

Salin could also feel that although Neris had various secrets and was still trying to add trouble to him, as long as he encountered danger, Neris was definitely the first to rush forward to protect him. In the battle with the Black Deacon, Neris attracted all the evil spirits attacking Salin alone, which was actually risking his life. For a demon, this was too rare.

"I'm not like you. You have a lot of opportunities and good inheritance. My teacher doesn't care much about me at all." Daniel said sadly.

"Daniel, your teacher, don't owe you anything." Salin became more and more disappointed with Daniel. He could not have expected that a magician would complain about his teacher. For Salin, the teacher is his father and his support.

"Sarin, you have everything, of course you will say that, I have nothing now." Daniel's face turned red and he fought angrily.

"Is that right? Maybe you are right, so you can use the winged skeleton to suck the ghost fog. I will capture this undead creature for you, but you need to sign a second contract."

"The second contract?"

"I want your winged skeleton. Since you don't need it, you might as well give it to me."

"What do you want it for?"

"Don't forget, I have a friend, and I am also a necromancer." Salin replied with a smile. He suddenly figured out that since Daniel cannot be a friend, why should he be worried about Daniel's mistakes? How Daniel thinks and how to live is his own business.

Daniel hesitated. If the Winged Skeleton is well trained, it will become a powerful undead creature in the future. However, the undead creature on this island can directly capture the manipulator. The combat power of the Winged Skeleton is now only at level 5, while this undead creature may be at level 8.

It is not difficult to recover this suppressed power. You can make the new contracted creature a powerful undead in a few years at most. The Winged Skeleton takes at least twenty or thirty years to cultivate. It is nothing if the Winged Skeleton is given to Salin. Anyway, after absorbing the ghost fog, the Winged Skeleton will be directly promoted to level 6, and it will be difficult to continue to be promoted in the future.

"I promise you." Daniel did not hesitate anymore.

"Well, then I'll write a contract." Salin took out a blank scroll and began to write the contract. This time, he did not leave any room for Daniel on the contract. As long as Daniel obtains the second contract creature, the Winged Skeleton will immediately become his contract creature.

Daniel has read the content of the contract, signed it, leaving a soul mark. This is impossible to repent. As long as his second undead creature is captured, the winged skeleton will no longer belong to him.

Salin sneered in his heart. Daniel was very good at calculating, but if he wanted to compete with him, he had to at least have several times more knowledge than himself. The Winged Skeleton left Daniel and would no longer gain the power of the undead flame and completely cut off contact with the undead plane. Not to mention advancing, it would be good if he didn't die completely in the future.

Daniel's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt the unwilling roar of the winged skeleton in the flames of the dead. It was not an ordinary undead creature. It had wisdom and had a wonderful feeling for Daniel, that is loyalty. After being beaten back to the undead plane by Salin's magic, it was worried about Daniel's safety and kept guarding the coordinates of the undead plane, waiting for Daniel's summoning. Otherwise, how could Daniel have such good luck to summon it to the Meers continent.

"Okay, Daniel, can you start now?"

"Okay, let's go to the sixth floor." Daniel seemed to be ready long ago. Salin knocked on the broken door of the Magic Tower, summoned people outside, and followed Daniel to the top of the Magic Tower.

The sixth-layer magic circle has been re-drawn by Daniel, and clearly identifiable magic patterns are stacked layer by layer. Daniel stood in the center of the magic circle, and the undead flames behind him were released, and the winged skeleton soared into the air, pressing against the top of the magic tower, making a shrill howl. The red light in its eyes became dimmer and dimmer, and finally turned into a pitch-black color.

Salin retreated to the entrance of the building and looked at Daniel calmly at the casting of the spell. Daniel pointed at the ghost fog outside the window and said to the winged skeleton: "Go, go and absorb the power of the undead and open the seal!"
