057 Scroll of Contracted Demon Pet
Dongfeng City, in the city lord's mansion, in the study on the second floor.
City Lord Uther drank fruit wine and looked at the red-robed priest across from him. His face was gloomy, like black juice that had just fainted into clear water: "Your Excellency Beta, you have been really carefree recently. You are teaching writing in the village. , giving teachings, and then you can make a few hundred gold coins in profit by lying down for a month, but we people have to fight life and death outside, and the profits we get are not as much as you."
"Haha, the city lord really loves to joke." Liang Lidong also took a sip of the fruit wine, and then continued: "I only have 15% of the profits. If the city lord's mansion, which has 85% of the profits, does not get as much gold as me, then things will be very complicated. Something is not right. But from the amount of gold coins I got, it can be seen that City Lord, you are not working hard enough, and you have dug less gold."
The city lord shook his hands, slammed the table angrily, and shouted: "If you hadn't deliberately led the people from the temple to the gold mine, why would we have caused so many troubles? Then we can have the gold mine to ourselves. , you and I can both get more money."
"If, as you say, you are the one who can enjoy the gold mine exclusively, not me." Liang Lidong looked at the other party with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "If there are no foreign enemies, once you confirm the authenticity of the gold mine , in a few days, I will definitely die in the wilderness."
Uther's eyes narrowed, and a cold aura surrounded him: "You mean I will betray my promise and kill you?"
"I didn't say you would kill me!" Liang Lidong smiled treacherously: "I just said I would die. You don't need to do it yourself. Besides, the most important thing is that if I die, there will be a reason. For example, he intends to collaborate with the enemy, or he intends to rape a distinguished woman, etc... It’s not easy to find a reason!”
Liang Lidong spends half of the game dealing with a noble. He knows how to disgust an enemy but leave him speechless. Sure enough, Uther's face was so ugly that it was about to turn into black coal. He wanted to slap the table hard, but he resisted. Then he said in a neutral tone: "If you act with a despicable mentality, you will naturally do the same." I think everyone is despicable. I won’t tell you so much. The temple has recently sent many priests and professionals to harass us, and there are many assassins and assassins. Ordinary soldiers have no way of discovering these professionals who are good at hiding in the shadows, and Our high-end combat power is insufficient, so we are very passive now and do not dare to go out and take action casually."
Liang Lidong possesses the ‘Yunlong Blue Eyes’, which belongs to a special bloodline and can see through all illusions, including various invisibility magics and skills. But he didn't intend to reveal his abilities, especially when Uther was still malicious towards him: "You asked me to come back just to deal with these assassins? Although I am indeed better at dealing with assassins, but let me It is also unrealistic for one person to fight against many people.”
Half a year ago, Uther was deeply impressed by the scene when Liang Lidong killed two assassins at once. He had always felt that Liang Lidong had a special method of dealing with assassins. Hearing this, he said: "You don't need to fight with one enemy." Duo, as long as you are there to guard us and prevent assassins from approaching us from the shadows."
"Even so, my role is limited." Liang Lidong said slowly: "If I show up, my information will soon be known to the Temple of Life. Of course they will know that I have killed two assassins. Their assassins will try to bypass me and try to find ways to attack you. I will ignore the other...unless we have two professionals who can target the assassins."
Uther sighed: "If professionals who can deal with assassins were so easy to find, then there wouldn't be so many assassins in the world."
Liang Lidong thought for a while and said: "In fact, it's not difficult. Babara can be counted as one!"
"She has not learned to detect magic." Speaking of his daughter, Uther's face was much gentler: "You also know that the people in the Red Magic Tower have always pursued the ultimate destructive power, and they have tried their best to learn all kinds of magic for themselves. Specialize in fire and learn more fire magic. My daughter is not immune to this in that environment. The fire magic she has learned accounts for more than half of her total magic."
Liang Lidong waved his hand: "I don't mean magic, but magic pets... If Babara can contract a magic pet that can target the stealth profession, I think my pressure will be greatly reduced. Besides, after contracting a magic pet, Babara's combat effectiveness can be increased by at least 30%, which is more beneficial to us."
"But the problem is that the magic pet contract is quite difficult." Uther sighed, his daughter was his only 'weakness': "Although I am a warrior, I have also asked some magic masters. The magic of the contracted magic pet is More than two hundred years ago, I don't know why it was mutilated... The magic of the magic pet contract that has been handed down now is a castrated version, which is extremely unstable. If there is not enough mental support, it can easily be backlashed by the magic pet, causing irreversible tragedy. "
At this moment, Liang Lidong finally understood why magic pets that every magician should have are so rare.
Uther looked at Liang Lidong with doubts in his eyes: "I'm even more surprised that your mental power is not that strong. At least Babara said that although your mental power is more stable than hers, it's not that strong. , but you have a powerful demon pet."
"Because I am using the full version of the Demon Pet Contract!"
Liang Lidong replied and then started thinking. The magic of Contracted Demon Pet was a magic created by the goddess of magic Lachesis before she became a god. Although the world still knows the name of the Goddess of Magic, the magic pet contract has become a castrated version. Is it the instructions of the Goddess of Magic, or did something happen to her?
Uther suddenly stood up at this time. He looked at Liang Lidong and asked with burning eyes: "Do you know the full version of the magic pet contract?"
Of course Liang Lidong can, but he said: "No, but my family can. They helped me make two magic pet contract scrolls, and I used one!"
"So you still have one!" Uther pressed his palms hard on the table. He leaned over and looked at Liang Lidong: "Your Excellency Beta, if you are willing to give up this scroll, I am willing to give you half of the profit. you."
Liang Lidong raised one corner of his lips and said with a half-smile: "I don't dare to ask for... 15% of the profit. Someone is already planning to kill me. If I give up another 50%, I suspect someone will kill me." Only by crushing bones and raising ashes can you relieve your anger. I originally planned to sell this magic pet contract scroll to Miss Babara, which is why I came here. One hundred gold coins, no price, I don't know if you are willing."
"Yes, why not!" Uther laughed loudly: "But you have to wait a moment, I will ask Baba to come over. She is a magician, and it is up to her to decide whether this scroll is suitable for her to use."
"As it should be, please!"
Uther strode out of the room. Liang Lidong took out the 'Demon Pet Contract' scroll from his space backpack and placed it on the table. This scroll was a work he made overnight using the last bit of alchemy materials he had last night. Although the magic pet contract is only a second-level magic, its modeling is quite troublesome. Liang Lidong also failed three times and only succeeded after his head hurt so much. The material fee paid four times will be counted as no more than one gold coin for a full play, and the labor fee will be counted as two gold coins. This is the public price in the game. In other words, Liang Lidong sold something that cost less than three gold coins for almost forty times the price.
That's why Liang Lidong doesn't pay much attention to money... The biggest advantage between players and NPCs is the asymmetry of information. There is a lot of room for manipulation. Information is money. This is the truth in the 22nd century.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the room. The first person to rush in was Babara. She was panting, and the Alpine snow-capped mountains covered by her black robe kept undulating: "Your Excellency Beta, you have a complete 'demon pet contract'. 'Scroll?' After she finished asking, she saw a scroll on the table, her eyes lit up and she rushed over.
Five breaths later, Uther also walked in. The father and daughter looked around the scroll on the table excitedly for a long time. Babara was seriously feeling the weak magic power fluctuations on the scroll, while Uther was just joining in the fun.
About half an hour later, Babara stood up straight: "I can't tell whether this scroll is authentic or not, but I believe that Sir Beta will not lie to us. We bought this scroll, and I think you should be quite knowledgeable about contracted magic pets. Can you share your experience?"
Liang Lidong talked for a while and then said: "Felines are very suitable to become fire magicians' familiars. They have good speed and combat ability, and they also have the expertise of stealth and anti-stealth, which is a powerful assassination." He is also a good scout. The biggest weakness of magicians is that they are easily attacked by assassins. If you can contract a feline to become a familiar, this weakness will become a thing of the past!"
