Episode 1 The Golden Skull Chapter 15 The Marquis of the Black Warrior (Part 1)
.
Devouring is a basic skill that all undead creatures have. In addition to awakening, devouring is also a way to quickly strengthen the soul.
This was the second time that the black dragon devoured this conscious soul fire. Arroyo had been severely damaged and was about to die, so it was easily absorbed by him. However, this time, unprecedented resistance came from the black warrior.
Perhaps the heart of shattering his soul would be easily absorbed. The black dragon secretly gave in his heart, putting his hands into a knife, ready to stab into the black warrior's abdomen and breaking off his soul's heart.
The black warrior shouted in panic: "No, don't devour me, I'm willing to worship you as yours, please don't devour me!" The most terrifying end of the devoured soul, the undead creature, is shattered, and the soul may be preserved. One day, it may be able to wake up again, but if it is devoured, the undead creature will have to die completely.
The black dragon ignored his begging and stabbed his abdomen with lightning. The black warrior's abdomen twisted strangely, and turned a little wide. The hand knife stabbed into his abdomen, but failed to hit the soul heart inside.
"No, please don't devour me. I am willing to take the soul as the oath and worship you for the rest of my life!" The black warrior said in panic. When he said the words "soul as the oath", a tuft of blue flame floated on his abdomen. This was the fire of the oath of the soul.
The soul oath is the highest vow of the immortal creature. Once established, it will never repent. When the oath makes this vow, the soul will precipitate part of the soul fire and hand it over to the person who is loyal to him. If he controls this part of the soul fire, the life and death of the oath will be completely controlled by the person who is loyal to him. He will be slaves forever and will not repent. Moreover, the oath and the person who is loyal to him also have a joint role in life. If the person who is loyal to him dies, the person who is loyal to him will immediately disappear. This is an extremely unequal slave oath.
The black dragon's heart moved. If this vow was established, the life and death of the black warrior would be completely in his hands. As long as his mind was moved, the black warrior would be wiped out immediately.
The black warrior severely injured Hei Er. It would be difficult to expel the anger of the Black Dragon without killing him. Moreover, this black warrior also has extremely powerful martial arts. The main purpose of the black dragon devouring his soul fire is to gain his memory to learn the martial arts of the Black Warrior.
However, the method of devouring souls has a disadvantage, which is that it is difficult to completely integrate the other party's memories. The black dragon devoured Arroyo's knowledge, but it has not been integrated until now. It will take a long time to completely integrate all memories. Perhaps signing a contract with the Black Warrior and then ordering him to teach martial arts will be a better way.
The black dragon looked him up and down several times, raised his head and sucked hard at the fire of vows he had precipitated, and the flames penetrated into the black dragon's body.
Seeing that the Black Dragon accepted his soul pledge, the black warrior's eyes darkened and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hei Da let go of him, and the one-legged black warrior was left behind and said respectfully in an empty and hoarse voice: "Marrior of Black Warrior Strickleas; Levints; Tuk, see Your Majesty." The black warrior is a noble among the undead creatures, and his names are all long and smelly. And they are all used to calling their master His Majesty, because the emperor of the black warrior is the Black Warrior Emperor.
Marquis?! Male, son, Bo, Hou, Duke, Emperor, Black Warrior clan's strength level, Tuk, who has terrible martial arts in front of him is actually just a Marquis! As expected, he is a high-level immortal creature. A Marquis has the ability to fight ten quasi-gold skeletons alone. If it were a Duke or an emperor, what a terrible strength would he have? Perhaps only by becoming a real golden skeleton, learning the scythe and arrival of the god of death, and awakening his own special skills can he compete with the legendary Black Warrior Emperor.
"Answer my question. How many undead creatures are there besides you?" Black Dragon thought to himself: If there are strong people like Tuk, or even black warriors of the Count or emperor level, then leaving here as soon as possible would be the best choice.
"Back to your Majesty, there are no undead creatures here except me." Tuk responded.
He is the only one?! There is no reason. Except for the immortal dragon, the undead creatures are all creatures that are used to living together. There is no reason to live alone. However, under the constraints of the soul vow, Tuk cannot lie. Why does this happen?
"Why attack me?" Black Dragon asked.
"Please forgive me for your sins. I think you are humans." Tuk responded. The hostility between the race of life and the undead creatures has been a long-standing thing. It is not a rare thing for undead creatures to attack the race of life. The skin-revitalizing technique completely covered up the aura of death on the black dragon and others, and Tuk naturally couldn't recognize it.
"Then why are you here?" Why are there undead creatures in the Dark Swamp, and how did he come here?
"I don't know, I was here when I woke up. There is an altar of reincarnation for our black warriors in the middle of the swamp. From the memories of my previous life, I know that I am the guardian warrior who guards the altar. It is my mission to protect the altar to eliminate the close race of life."
Reincarnation altar! There is actually a black warrior’s reincarnation altar here?
Black warriors are not natural undead creatures. They are reincarnated from the undead. The undead is born without body and cannot conduct physical attacks. After many lives with high martial arts become undead, all martial arts cannot be used. Therefore, in the ancient times countless years ago, countless undead mages studied, they created a reincarnation altar, transforming the undead with high martial arts into black warriors, and physically realizing the body, and can conduct physical attacks. The martial arts of their lifetime can be used again.
These undead spirits who became black warriors have outstanding martial arts skills. After countless years of development, they finally became a new undead race outside the undead clan.
The reincarnation altar is the key to the emergence of black warriors. There are not many reincarnation altars in the death world, all of which are holy places for the black warriors. Unexpectedly, there is also a reincarnation altar here!
"What is the black flame that popped up on you just now?" Black Dragon continued to ask. He was still scared of the black flame like Tuk that could increase his power.
"The natural skill of our Black Warrior clan is the dark fighting spirit." Tuk said.
"Why did you only use it once? If you use this skill when you are hugged by Hei Da, you should be able to break free from his control? Why?" This is the most puzzled question in Black Dragon.
"I am only at the level of marquis. Only the emperor of my clan can continue to use the fighting spirit." Speaking of this, Tuk raised his head and looked at the black dragon. The red light in his eyes felt a bit hot, as if he was saying that if his fighting spirit was stronger, the result of this battle would be completely different.
After asking some questions, Tuk answered one by one. Then, under his guidance, we found an empty and dry place to rest for a while. Tuk's injuries were quite serious, and both hands and one foot were cut off, but this injury was not fatal to the reincarnated black warrior of the undead. He could grow again as long as he rested for a while.
Hei Er's injuries were also very serious. His entire upper body was shattered, and only his head and lower limbs could be kept intact. Now the first task is to find a suitable skeleton to install him, but his head and lower limbs have been metallized. After changing to a new skeleton, the newly replaced skeleton will become his weakness for a long time in the future.
It was already night to restore the black muscles with magic, and everyone was asleep.
The daytime of the dark swamp is very dark, and the night is even darker, and you can't see your fingers.
Heilong found a place to lie down, stared blankly into the air, thinking silently, he didn't understand why Hei Er spontaneously jumped out to block the fatal blow for him. Without his orders, Heida and other children would not move. They had no consciousness, and everything was based on the will of the black dragon as the criterion for action. This was something that made Heilong very sad.
The black dragon was born from the battlefield and could think and be confused, but the black-supported children did not, which made him feel lonely. Although Svengol and others had thoughts, they had a human heart, and Tuk also had thoughts, but he was not a similar type to the black-supported children. The black-supported children had never understood why he had thoughts, but the black-supported children did not? Could he be a freak?
Will Hei Er's spontaneous behavior be a sign of the beginning of his consciousness? If that is really the case, it would be great. In the future, someone can communicate with me and share everything about life with me, and I will no longer be a lonely skeleton. The black dragon thought excitedly.
Thinking in a daze, the Black Dragon's thoughts returned to today's battle. To talk about strength, Tuk's strength is almost the same as that of skeletons such as Black Dragon, but with his exquisite martial arts, he was not at a disadvantage at all when fighting eleven quasi-gold skeletons. After this battle, the Black Dragon realized that having strength but not skills, his strength could be so far apart. Now he developed a very strong interest in martial arts in his heart, and he made up his mind to learn martial arts immediately after Tuk's body recovered.
Magic also needs to be learned. Now the black dragon can use too little magic. Immortal sacrifice and living skin cannot be used in combat. The weakness and slowness have no effect on the undead creatures. If we can learn some magic that also works for the undead creatures, today's battle would not be so difficult. Thinking of this, the black dragon searched Arroyo's memory again.
The sky gradually became brighter, and in the dark swamp, even in the broad daylight, the light was extremely dark.
Recalling Arroyo's memories all night, the Black Dragon gained nothing, which made him feel more deeply that not absorbing Tuk's soul was a correct choice, and it was too difficult to merge a soul of a smart life.
After a night of rest, Tuc's broken hands and feet had regained their bodies, but they were still very fragile. It would take a long time to restore their original strength, but walking is no problem now. With him, the old horse who knows the map, the journey to the swamp becomes very easy.
It turned out that Tuk had lived here for more than 6,000 years. When he woke up, he was still a weak black warrior baron. After more than 6,000 years, he grew to the level of a marquis. Usually, he spent most of his time sleeping, and occasionally he would wake up to patrol the entire swamp. If he found that the race of life entered, it would be eliminated immediately. However, as far as he knew, no one could go deep into the depths of the swamp for more than 2,000 years. The pervasive poisonous fog and bottomless swamp are the nemesis of all races of life.
Under his leadership, the Black Dragon found two mitrils. Unlike other metals, mitrils exist in the veins in the form of oxides, but in a single way. When picked up, it is a pure mitrils and can be used directly without refining.
However, even in mine pits, the content of mitril silver is very small. The two mines collected less than twenty kilograms of mitril silver, which is not enough to make four long swords.
Carrying the twenty kilograms of secret, the black dragon asked Tuk: "There is too little mitr silver. Are there any mineral veins elsewhere?"
"There are a few more places, on the other side of the swamp." The power of the soul vow made Tuk very respectful to the Black Dragon, and he knew everything.
"Black Dragon, why do you want so much esthetic silver?" Svengol suddenly spoke, staring at the esthetic silver in the black dragon's hand.
"Take weapons." The black dragon responded casually.
Svengol took a breath of air conditioner, and used mitral to attack weapons? Is this skeleton crazy? Yiyingsi Misin is worth 5,000 gold coins, and twenty kilograms of mitral is equivalent to 3.5 million gold coins. This is a huge amount of wealth. This skeleton actually used it to fight equipment. Oh my God!
Mithril is a magical material that all magicians dream of. This metal that does not reject magic is a necessary material for making many advanced magic equipment. Svengol has long been jealous. As a great magician, Svengol does not value money. As long as he is willing, any country will welcome him. The treatment given will definitely not be less than 200,000 gold coins a year. The title of Great Magician represents not only strength, but also status.
However, Misinian cannot be bought even if you have money. A magic earring made of Misinian can store one or several magic, store the earth-type magic guardian, and release it in battle, which is equivalent to putting on yourself with strong armor. This is a life more for mages with weak protection. With the storage of buff magic, the primary swordsman can also defeat the intermediate swordsman.
Adding fine iron armor made of 1% mitril silver can change the characteristics of metal repulsion against magic. On the battlefield, magicians wearing metal armor are definitely several times higher than magicians who wear only cloth clothes and leather armor. It can be said that a magician with magic equipment is definitely several times stronger than a mage of the same level without magic equipment. And mitril silver is the best material for making magic equipment.
This skeleton actually wanted to make mitril silver into weapons, which was definitely a tyrant.
"You... are you crazy? You actually want to make Mitsunian into a weapon!" Svengol shouted excitedly.
Svengol rarely loses his composure so much, which makes Black Dragon look at him strangely and says, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Svengol took several deep breaths in a row to calm down his excitement.
"Do you know what Mitsunian does?" Svengol asked.
"You can bless magic." said the Black Dragon.
"Yes, then what's the purpose of making it a weapon?" Svengol asked back.
"You can bless the cursive magic on it." Black Dragon's plan was to use mitril silver to make weapons, and then add cursive magic on it. As for the value of mitril silver needed to make a weapon, he did not consider it at all.
Svengol took a deep breath and said, "So I said you're a waste of doing this. Do you know? There is no need to use weapons made entirely of Misin to bless the magic effect of the weapon. Just add some mitril silver when making it or use magic patterns on the mitril silver pattern on the made weapons to achieve this effect. Moreover, weapons made entirely of mitril silver are very fragile and cannot withstand the force of chopping."
The black dragon looked at Svengol seriously and shook his head. From Arroyo's memory, he only knew that Mitsunami must be used to bless magic weapons, but he didn't know how to add it. Arroyo was just a death summoner, and he didn't understand these crafts.
