Casting spells

If you can go there in person, it will be of great benefit to the construction of the magic theory that is still being explored, or to absorb new knowledge and viewpoints from it.

But unfortunately, he didn't have enough time to complete such a dangerous long-distance trip, so he could only suppress his eager curiosity, turned around and said to the frightened soul in a meaningful tone: "Dear Derry , can you please tell me how to use this interesting little thing? Since you have come all the way from Asshai, you must know how to make it exert its power, right?"

"No! I don't know!" Derry shivered subconsciously, shaking his head desperately.

"Oh? Are you sure? You must know that lying is not a good thing, especially lying in front of me." Zhang Cheng gently stroked the sharp sword of the soul arrester and threatened.

He would not believe that someone would risk their lives across the entire known world without knowing how to use the so-called "Tears of the Queen of the Deep Sea" to come to this high tower that has been dust-sealed for thousands of years .

"Damn it! Don't force me! I can't say it! I really can't!" Derry started yelling like crazy.

Staring at the tormented eyes of the other party, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled, and comforted him while laughing: "Relax, don't be so nervous, I didn't force you, I just wanted to make a suggestion that is beneficial to both parties. You just need to tell me how to use it, and I will release your soul. Don't worry, no third party will know about this matter except you and me. What's more, after the idiot outside is solved, I will It will disappear for a long time, and the organization behind you will never know that you have revealed some secrets that should not be revealed."

"Really?" Derry opened his mouth in disbelief.

As an unlucky guy who has lost all his hole cards and even his soul is held in the palm of others, he naturally cannot easily give up this life-saving straw, even if this straw may be broken at any time.

"Of course! You have been with me for so long, when have you ever seen me break the promise I made? Not once! So you should trust me." Zhang Cheng nodded sincerely.

He didn't even realize it, but with half a year of experience in the world of ice and fire, his mentality had already undergone a change unconsciously, from the original cautiousness to the present calmness under any circumstances. Analyze the opponent's psychology, and then react quickly to make the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to you.

In fact, right now, he grasped Derry's eagerness to get rid of being controlled by others, and wanted to get the usage method of "Tears of the Queen of the Deep Sea" from his mouth.

As for fulfilling the promise, he didn't think about it from the beginning.

Because in his subconscious mind, there is always a ruler to measure the value of things. When the value of fulfilling the promise is lower than the standard in his heart, he will choose to honor the promise he made generously, no matter whether it will lead to his own failure or not. Damage to the interests of.

But when the value of fulfilling the promise is higher than the standard in his heart, he will not hesitate to show the other side, which is to tear up the agreement, or even kill the guy who made an agreement with him.

Whether it is keeping the promise or tearing it up, it is not absolute for him, and it can be changed anytime and anywhere. The current situation undoubtedly belongs to the latter...

Derry obviously didn't know that half of his foot had fallen into the abyss of death, and he was still thinking about what Zhang Cheng did during the time when the two got along.

In the end, he was surprised to find that the young man in front of him didn't seem to have broken any promises, at most, he had added some verbal loopholes in the promises in advance.

After thinking about this point, he impatiently proposed: "Give me a promise! Guarantee that as long as I tell you how to use it, you will immediately release my soul."

"I promise that as long as you tell me how to use it, I will release your soul immediately." Zhang Cheng repeated the other party's request without thinking.

The expression on his face was so sincere that no one would believe that the guy with this face would soon tear off his disguise and reveal his terrifying fangs.

"Okay! Very good!" After getting the assurance he wanted, Derry breathed a sigh of relief, and began to explain in a somewhat vague tone: "As you can see, the tear of the Queen of the Deep Sea is a tear made of pure energy. We don't know exactly how it is formed, but one thing is certain, that is, only women can resonate with it."

"You mean... unless I change my gender, I will never be able to use it?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Gender restricted!

Is there a more incredible magical item in the world than this?

According to the basic theory of Dalaran, the reason why all magical energies repel each other is mostly due to the fact that the two energy properties are opposed to each other, such as holy light and shadow, nature and evil energy, etc., and the mages use Arcane is a relatively neutral energy, which can not only simulate elemental energy such as frost and flame, but also simulate various forms of energy such as shadow, nature, and death.

He didn't understand why an energy substance with water elemental energy as its main body would have such a weird gender restriction, which was completely unreasonable.

"Yes! According to the records in the organization and my private research, it does only resonate with women, and the purer its age and heart, the better. In addition, I suggest you find a master for it as soon as possible, otherwise If you wear it on your body for too long, it will have an uncertain effect on you. I only know so much, you can now fulfill your promise and release my soul." After that, Derry's soul slowly floated up , indicating that he wants to leave immediately.

There was a strange light in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he responded with a half-smile: "Sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise. Eat him, soul-destroyer!"

"I've been waiting for your order for a long time! You don't know how delicious his soul is, it's like a delicious meal in front of you, it's simply an unbearable temptation."

The licensed Shadowblade, a very rare joke, unleashed a black mist that engulfed Derry.

Even though he struggled, howled, and cursed desperately, he was finally pulled into the sword bit by bit, leaving only a relief of pain and despair at the end of the hilt...

Chapter 248 Hint from the Demon Sword

"How does his soul taste? How is it different from ordinary people?" Zhang Cheng asked with great interest, admiring the lifelike relief on the hilt of the sword.

Although he has read many books related to necromancer magic and souls, he has not learned too much in this area, let alone discerning such extremely complicated things as souls.

"Ah! This is a taste that has been precipitated by time, it is a dream intertwined with shadows and life..." The soul restrainer tried to express his feelings at the moment in the form of an aria.

This is obviously not what Zhang Cheng wanted to hear, so he immediately interrupted: "Stop! Tell me directly how his soul is different from normal people. Speak in human terms, try to be as simple and clear as possible."

"Oh, well, well, you are really a guy who doesn't know how to appreciate it. You must know that my previous owner liked it very much when I spoke in this tone. She thought it was very stylish and could better bring out her own uniqueness. It's different." The soul arrester complained in a low voice regretfully.

As the number of devouring souls increased, its intelligence level increased day by day, and it even began to form a human-like personality, far less gloomy and terrifying than when it first awakened.

"But she's dead! You don't want me to learn from a loser, do you?" Zhang Cheng asked sharply.

He will never forget the essence of the magic sword, and he will never forget that the opponent tried to drag him into the dark abyss several times, so he is always vigilant in his heart.

Undoubtedly, the soul arrester knew this very well, and retorted with a light smile: "What's wrong with the losers? Didn't the world you were in originally have a famous saying that failure is the mother of success. Losers are not useless, they also have their own advantages , at least in my opinion, she enjoys life far more than you, and knows when to be nervous and when to have fun. You have to understand that everyone's nerves have a limit, and maybe you are better than most people Patience, but keep the current state, it won't take long before it will break. By that time, it will be too late for you to relax."

"Hmph! You speak as if you know me very well." Zhang Cheng curled his lips pretending to be disdainful.

He is not an idiot, so he is naturally not ignorant of the importance of combining work and rest. Proper relaxation can not only rest the tense nerves, but also greatly improve the efficiency of subsequent study and research.

But the problem is that his current situation is really not very good. To be precise, he is in danger. He is surrounded by enemies who are watching him, or people with evil intentions. How dare he let down his guard so easily? This suicide is no different.

"Well, anyway, you are the master, and it's your right to choose what you want. I'm just making some suggestions. In fact, you don't need to be wary of me like a thief all day long. After all, our interests are bound together. Only you Only by going far enough in this dangerous situation can I have a chance to get back the important part I lost." The soul arrester explained meaningfully.

"The missing important part?" Zhang Cheng keenly grasped an important word.

"Yes! The me you see now is not my full posture. It is too early to tell you these things, and I will tell you the answer when you are strong enough. You just need to keep in mind that the real test It’s coming soon, it’s best to prepare quickly, whether it’s strength or psychology, otherwise I guarantee that death is not just the end, but the beginning of pain.” After all, the magic sword seemed to fall into a deep sleep, There was no more movement.

Zhang Cheng stood where he was, savoring the hints revealed in the words of the soul restraining messenger, and quickly smiled and said to himself: "Is it a real test? Then come! I want to see who it is What is the purpose of manipulating all this behind the scenes..."

No fear of the unknown!

Some are just a strong expectation and desire!

Even he himself didn't know why he had such a feeling, as if what was waiting for him was not a difficult challenge, but an opportunity.

Carefully putting away the "Tears of the Queen of the Deep Sea", Zhang Cheng came to the hardwood staff inserted in the groove, stretched out his right hand and stroked the dragon crystal that continuously released bright light around, and then sighed in a voice that only he could hear: "What an interesting energy storage technology! If time permits, I really want to visit Yasha in person. It's a pity..."

As the last word fell, he suddenly injected a burst of energy into the largest dragon crystal on the top of the staff.

moment!

The weak balance that was not very stable was broken on the spot!

The huge energy stored inside vented out like a wild hurricane, and a huge energy vortex quickly formed around the staff!

Everything touched by the vortex was sucked away and crushed, turning into a pile of residue floating in the air.

What's even more frightening is that the vortex is still getting bigger and bigger with the continuous overflow of energy. After a while, the foundation of the towering tower was shaken, and some supporting walls began to tilt and collapse.

Seeing this ancient building that existed for tens of thousands of years being destroyed by himself, Zhang Cheng had no sadness or joy on his face. He just returned to the top of the tower before it completely collapsed, and rode Kuro Kerba back to the top of the tower. above the blue sky.
