Make the dragon great again

Chapter 24 Sign a contract with me

When it comes to dungeons, it always seems to be related to undead creatures and the like, but Adrian, who is the master of the dungeon, has never seen many undead creatures in his life.

Back when Adrian was just "born" and there were many low-level monsters thriving in the dungeon, the deeper layers were used as a cemetery by the upper-level monsters, and some undead creatures were born because of this, but all Just some walking corpses and skeleton soldiers, the wise ones have none.

Therefore, the mummy in front of him who is a lich and whose soul is a magician is the first intelligent undead creature that Adrian met.

Of course, it may not be considered a real undead creature, at least the soul has not completely fallen into darkness.

After Edmund finished talking about his experience, he seemed to let go of some obsessions in his heart, and the already weak soul fire became weaker.

"...Sir, it seems that you are also a powerful magician, but you may not be able to deal with Alvarez, so it is enough for you to bring this news out..."

Seeing that the fire of soul in his eyes seemed to be extinguished at any moment, Adrian said quickly:

"You don't want to talk now, otherwise your soul will be completely dissipated."

The 'mummy' sat up straight tremblingly, and said weakly:
"No, it doesn't matter anymore, I should have been unable to hold on long ago, it's just the strong obsession in my heart that made me hold on until now, but even so, my soul is getting closer and closer to a real undead creature, If it hadn't been for Your Excellency to come, I would have planned to annihilate myself before I fell completely..."

After a pause, after a short rest, Edmund continued:

"...In the process of pulling out the staff and breaking the seal just now, my soul has actually been severely injured again, and it will be completely dissipated in a short time."

Adrian looked at the staff in his hand, thinking that when he was about to forcibly pull out the staff just now, Edmund didn't stop himself, probably because he had already had the idea of ​​self-destruction.

As for Edmund himself, it is estimated that he lost all confidence after being tortured by decades of seals. After telling the latecomers the key information, he now has a mentality of "I'll let it flood the sky after I die"...

However, Adrian didn't want this heroic magician to just disappear.

For one thing, the other party was a member of the highest judging group of Gotalin, and based on the original intention of not wanting to conflict with Gotalin in the short term, Adrian still wanted to save Edmund and make friends with Gotalin;

Secondly, the lich itself is a trouble, but it is only a trouble and a threat to the nearby Gaia species country. To Adrian, he is both a dragon and a dungeon master. What is he doing?
To put it bluntly, if the Lich Alvarez messed up the area around the Great Mullion Forest, wouldn't it be more conducive to Adrian's own wretched development?
Of course, Adrian wants to save Edmund, but the main reason is another reason...

From the descriptions of Keren and others and Edmund, it is not difficult for Adrian to imagine that the Lich Alvarez, the undead army under his hands spread everywhere like a tide, and he is also the master of the dungeon. Envy is impossible;
As a pure-blooded ancient dragon, Adrian's pride from the depths of his blood prevents him from filling the defense force of the dungeon with a large number of low-level monsters, but at least the nine-story dungeon, in his vision, is Each floor must have a "floor master" who can be placed on the table;
Adrian bestowed Fay, Glenn, and Olin, the three inferior dragons, with their own origin blood, with the idea of ​​cultivating them into layer masters who can act independently;
In front of him, Edmund Howard, whose soul is trapped in the body of a lich, whose identity has been replaced by others for decades, is weak and about to die, but has the personality of a hero-level magician, in Adrian's view, is very likely to become him The potential of the subordinate masters.

"You really don't want to live?"

There seemed to be some kind of magical power in Adrian's light and fluffy words, which attracted Edmund's trance thinking at once.

"Live? Hehe, if possible, of course I want to live, but my original body has probably been transformed by Alvarez, and there is basically no possibility of changing it back. If I rely on this body, I will sooner or later. Fallen into undead creatures..."

Edmund's weak soul, stimulated by invisible forces, uttered his true thoughts deep in his heart.

To put it bluntly, as a heroic magician and a member of the Supreme Jury of the High Tower, he certainly didn't want to disappear like this, but it was also the pride of being a heroic magician that made him unwilling to use an immortal biological identity survives;
In addition, the original body has been occupied by the Lich for decades, and the hope of regaining it is slim, so after explaining the funeral, I have a death wish and plan to kill it all...

'If I know the magic of the soul, maybe I can stabilize his soul body. '

Adrian was embarrassed for the first time because he didn't understand systematic magic.

"I can indeed look down on most creatures just by talent alone, but I can't stop learning systematic magic knowledge..." Adrian secretly alerted.

Looking at Edmund, who had stopped talking, Adrian asked:
"I don't know the magical knowledge of the soul, and I can't help you now, but if you have a way to maintain your soul but need help, you might as well tell me."

The green fire in the empty eye sockets of the mummy jumped slightly, and Edmund's weak voice came out slowly:

"...As long as I can leave this lich's body, I will not continue to be corroded and polluted, but over the past few decades, my soul body has already been weakened, and once I leave the things I rely on, it will immediately decline..."

"So, do you need an object that can entrust your soul?"

"That's right, at the same time, after my soul body leaves this lich's body, I also need someone who understands soul magic to help protect me..."

The soul fire in the mummy's eye sockets moved slightly, and "looked" at the long-handled staff held by Adrian.

"...This staff is made of the heart of the Nether Tree, and it was also my personal belonging. It is enough to enshrine my soul, but you don't know soul magic, so it's still..."

"Do you understand magic in this area yourself?" Adrian interrupted him.

"...Yes." Edmund gave an affirmative answer after silence.

"Then, if you describe the magic to me, maybe I can learn it right away?"

The fire of the soul turned and looked at Adrian. The mummy was originally "stunned", so I couldn't see Edmond's expression clearly at this time, but Adrian could still feel his emotions...

When Adrian said this, it was naturally because he planned to directly "command" the magical effect in Dragon Language. The success rate cannot be guaranteed, but it is worth a try.

"But before that..."

Adrian suddenly changed his voice.

"I need to sign a contract with you..."

……

To be continued (there will be another update later).

　After thinking about it, I still think it’s better to compress the word count, because newcomers with 20 words will be put on the shelves automatically, and I missed the recommendation this week. According to the current development of the word count, at most three recommendations, if the score is less than strong, it will be put on the shelf directly. At that time, it is estimated that there will only be about 3000 collections, and the standard hits the street... So I thought about compressing the number of words, and getting one more recommendation before the "big limit" of 20 words... Don't start!
