HAIL THE KING !
Chapter 73.1: The Means of a King (1)
After Fei heard everything the witch said, he had some idea of what was going on.
The so-called Mythical Ruins were similar to buried pirate treasures. If anyone was lucky enough to find the unexplored Mythical Ruins, they would obtain magic devices, training scrolls, and much more from the era of the gods and demons. And if those items were used properly, even if the so-called Eindhoven Empire tried to fight against Chambord, Chambord would not be afraid.
“Alright, you've talked a lot. Now give me that map! "Fei stretched out his hand and smiled," Mr. Elvis, you're right. Looks like we'll have a lot of chances to work together .... Uh, but before that, give me the map so I can check it out. What if the map and what you said were all fake? "
"Haha ..... Cough, cough ..... Hehehe, young man, do you think I'm an idiot?" The witch coughed a mouthful of blood as she spoke with a mocking expression on her face. "I was worried that once I handed over the map, I would turn into a corpse. ”
Fei was not angry at all. He crouched down and patted the mage's shoulder and winked as he said, "How is it possible? Lord Elvis, I've sworn to the God of War with my honor as King; how can I deceive you? Plus, in order to explore the Mythical Ruin in Chambord, I will need powerful witches and warriors to help me. You're exactly what I need. Hahaha, we have similar interests and need each other's help. Why should I kill you now? "
After hearing Fei's words, the mage began to hesitate.
Throughout the ages, there were two things in the Azeroth Continent that one should not stain; the first was the Knight Principle, and the second was the Honor of Kings, and the second was the King, especially the kind of oath Fei made to honor the King for the God of War. Initially, Elvis would trust Fei, but for some reason he felt that the king in front of him was a bit vague and slimy and not very reliable.
Fei's expression turned cold after he saw Elvis' doubt.
He 'humped' as he stood up and suddenly switched to Necromancer Mode. Clouds of cold and dark death energy surrounded him. Fei raised his hand and pointed to a location. "Crash!" Something extraordinary happened; the eyes of the mage were wide open and his eyeballs almost fell from his head.
In the splashing blood, the demon skeleton held a bone shield and bone blade out from the dead mercenary corpses. The skull makes a “retak” sound every time it moves; it is the sound of bones rubbing against each other. With two black holes in the eye sockets and white bones, it looked like a demon from hell.
Necromancer – 【Raise Skeleton】.
"Ah? You ..... ”The magician began to tremble as if he was cold. "You are....... . actually the evil undead witch? I'M ME. I……"
Fei slightly frowned.
He surprisingly felt a familiar energy from the magician. It was also a dark death energy. Although it was weak and quite hidden within the body of the mage, it could not remain undetectable in front of Fei who possessed the strength of a level 6 Necromancer.
“Haha, this is very unexpected. Mr. Elvis, you really know undead magic. I won't say anything more. If you hand over the map peacefully, we can still work together cordially and explore the ruins together, even if you die, your soul cannot escape from my palm. I've got a lot of ways to "fix" and torture your soul. You'll give me a map sooner or later, so why do you want to get through all the pain and trouble? "
The white clouds of death energy swirled crazily in Fei's palm. Fei tried to put on a sinister and sinister look as he threatened the mage.
Fei honestly felt like he was a super villain in superhero movies and tortured a sidekick to get secrets about that superhero. “You don't have to go through all this ....”. Fortunately, he's not the Joker and the witch isn't Robin.
The witch stared at the ferocious skeleton and hesitated a little. He finally handed the map to Fei. Even though she was tortured a little, she still had enough magic power to open her own storage ring. Fei's incentives and threats made the witch hesitant, but she ended up making the difficult decision. He raised his hand and a folded map made of mysterious materials appeared in his hand. “Young people, this is a map. You have to be the man of your words. Without a four-star mage, you would never be able to open and explore the Mythical Ruin. You won't get anything from killing me. ”
The map was not small; it was a square map of about 3 yards (m) on each side. It was made of an unknown yellow material and felt light. The map itself had weak floating power; fei shook the map, causing it to completely open itself in midair. Mountains, hills, rivers, lakes, forests. It contained a large area and various circles and colored dots marked many areas. The notes on the map have strange characters. Fei felt like those characters were familiar, but he had no idea where they came from.
Although this was Fei's first time seeing this map, his intuition told him that Elvis had not given him a fake map to deceive him.
Fei waved his hand; "Crack!" The skeletal warrior was crushed into a pile of bone fragments. He also switched from Necromancer Mode back to Barbarian Mode. The thick death energy surrounding him disappeared as if it had never appeared.
This change made the mage's eyes glow in greed.
He was not a talented mage; he followed and studied under the moon ranked master Ferdinand for over twenty years, yet he was only able to achieve the power of a four-star mage. He was once ridiculed by everyone in the Manchester Empire. However, due to his greed for power, he could not resist studying the undead magic that could advance and give him power quickly. As a result, he was shunned and banned by "Master" in the – Continent of the Holy Church. For fear that others would find out about it and send him to the fire pit, he hid the magic power of his corpse in his body carefully and no one knew about it yet. The main reason he left the Manchester Empire and traveled to the Continent was to hide from the powerful higher-ups and priests in the Imperial Capital. Fei's method of hiding the magic power of his corpse in his body gave him great hope. If he could learn his methods, he could then train and study undead magic to its limits and not have to worry about the priests knowing it.
Upon seeing the bone fragments on the ground, Elvis was slightly relieved.
It seemed like the young man before him had no intention of killing him; he was needed for Ruin's exploration. “It's good. After I recover and recover my strength, I will pretend to cooperate with this king and slowly control Chambord in secret, as well as find out how he hid his undead magic power. At that time, I will sneak attack and kill him by surprise.... Hehehe, I can monopolize the resources in the ruins and no one will know. ”
“Young man, I've given you a map, please heal me quickly. I can't help it anymore .... ”Four-star magician Elvis reminded Fei.
"Ah? Okokok. I was the one who according to my words...... ”Fei folded the map back into a small box and put it into the storage room on his belt. He then took out a bottle of 【Healing Potion】, crouched down and said, “Mr Elvis, I'm happy to cooperate with you. Once we join forces, we can keep the ruins to ourselves. Ha ha ha……"
“Haha, young man, you made the right decision. ”Elvis finally relieved. He smiled, but an undetectable evil flashed in his eyes.
“Unfortunately, you made an incorrect decision ....” Fei's expression suddenly turned cold and his hand instantly grabbed the mage by his neck. With some power, "Crack down!" Elvis's spinal cord and throat broke into pieces.
"You……"
The signs of life slowly disappeared from Elvis' eyes. His was stunned until his death and the smile on his face still had not faded. Never in his wildest dreams would he understand why the young king in front of him dared to kill him. He knew that the king needed a powerful magician to open and explore the Mythical Ruins. How and where could the small Kingdom of Chambord recruit a suitable magician?
Of course, if he knew that Fei had the confidence and ability to advance to a four-star mage in Diablo World, he would not hand over the map so easily. Also, Fei did not swear on the God of War by Alexander's name and soul, but how Elvis could tell that the real Alexander and his soul were gone.
"With a snake like you, how can I try such an impossible cooperation?" Fei shook his head and whispered.
This witch named Elvis has devastating power and has a strong background. Also, with his evil thoughts, Fei did not dare to heal him back to full health. If he became careless for a moment, he would lose the entire game and be bitten by a poisonous snake. At that time, the downfall of the kingdom and the slaughter of civilians would occur in a matter of seconds. The story of the farmer and the snake was told by Aesop thousands of years ago. Fei wasn't stupid enough to use his warm body to save the ferocious poisonous snake.
