Casting spells

Edwin VanCleef visibly hesitated for a few seconds before pressing on, "What can you offer the Brotherhood?"

"A lot! First of all, I have good alchemy and can concoct potions for the Brotherhood. Secondly, I have the power to summon and control demons, which can provide the Brotherhood with good combat power. Finally, and most importantly One point, I can never be a spy of Stormwind City. I believe you should be very clear that it is impossible for me to be accepted by those high-ranking nobles in Stormwind City with my appearance, so the possibility of me being a spy is almost zero." He said, Zhang Cheng smiled confidently and spread his hands.

In order to conceal his identity, he did not reveal that he was still a mage of the Kirin Tor Council from the beginning to the end, and even the violet ring, which symbolized his identity, was taken off and hidden.

Edwin VanCleef nodded thoughtfully: "That's right! You are a talent that the Brotherhood needs. But I would like to ask one last question, what do you want from us?"

"My request is very simple, a quiet place to live, some special materials that need to be consumed for research, a set of alchemy tools, three meals a day, that's all." Zhang Cheng pretended to be downcast and set out the conditions.

"Yes! From now on, you are a member of the Brotherhood. As a test, your first task is to prepare thirty bottles of primary life potions. I will send the materials and alchemy tools to your room later... "

Chapter 323 Selection

Under the arrangement of Edwin Van Cleef, Zhang Cheng got a simple house in the dead mine.

Although it was just a wooden house built with dry templates, it was enough for him who was constantly being corroded by evil.

Without any hesitation, he concocted thirty bottles of primary healing potions in less than an afternoon, proving his worth to the Defias Brotherhood.

You must know that people who master alchemy have always been important reserve talents of various countries and forces, and they are by no means thieves or warriors who can be sacrificed as consumables casually, so most of the suspicion about spies has disappeared, and the rest It is routine to send people to watch for several months.

However, Zhang Cheng obviously didn't care about the two masked men guarding the house outside the house 24 hours a day. All he could think about was how to control the spreading demonization. He devoted himself to learning and researching evil energy and shadow energy, frantically absorbing the demonization. All knowledge and power related to warlocks.

Under his crazy and cruel torture, O'Care finally revealed the truth.

It turned out that the evil energy that invaded the body was not only evil energy, but also contained a mutilated demon soul. Although this demon's soul was still asleep due to heavy injuries, it was still enough to have a terrible impact on the body of a mortal.

The original purpose of the orc warlock was to transform Zhang Cheng into a demon form first, and then use the technique of enslaving demons to turn him into his own servant.

But what he never expected was that Zhang Cheng was not the kind of fledgling young sorcerer. When he sensed something was wrong, he decisively gave up some magic circuits and quickly built the magic circuits needed by a warlock to cast spells. , directly extracted his soul.

"So that's how it is... Is there a demon's soul living in my body..." Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes and muttered softly after learning the truth.

Obviously, there are two choices before him at the moment.

One is to completely abandon the warlock power obtained at the cost of fire spells, and extract the evil energy in the body together with the demon soul.

The advantage of doing this is that there is no danger, and with the departure of the evil energy and demon soul, his mutated body will return to normal, but the disadvantage is that he can only cast frost and arcane magic in the future.

As for the other option, it is nothing more than retaining the power of the warlock and reaching a symbiotic relationship with the demon's soul.

In this way, not only can he obtain powerful power far beyond that of ordinary warlocks, but he can also use fel-like fire spells to make up for his losses.

Most importantly, the demon's soul is inherently a constant source of energy. Although it can only provide two kinds of energy, fel energy and shadow energy, it is still a good hole card.

The only problem that needs to be solved is that the sleeping demon soul will wake up one day. At that time, it will definitely try to lure him to degeneration, and even secretly try to fight for the dominance of the body.In addition, the demonization of the body is also a troublesome thing. At most, it can only be limited to a certain part, and there is no way to eradicate it.

Just when Zhang Cheng was frowning and weighing the gains and losses, a petite figure appeared near the window at some point, showing half of his head and staring at the room with wide eyes. The eyes were a little curious and a little scared.

"Vanessa, is that you?" Zhang Cheng asked without looking back.

As an idler who had lived in the Dead Mine for two weeks, it was impossible for him not to know Edwin Van Cleef's "famous" daughter.

In fact, this little guy is in a semi-stocking state most of the time. As long as she is not close to the surface exit, she can go anywhere she wants to go. From time to time, she will learn the skills of two-handed stealth, sneak attack, and poison making from the thieves of the Brotherhood.

But since Zhang Cheng came, the girl's attention has been firmly attracted, especially the wonderful alchemy and magic, which fascinated her deeply.

"Hmm! Dad asked me to tell you to go to the meeting on the boat after lunch!" Vanessa nodded her head lightly.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Cheng agreed without thinking.

As one of the few spellcasters and alchemists in the Phidia Brotherhood, he may have joined for a short time, but he has also obtained the right to participate in decision-making meetings, but most of the time he does not express any opinions at all.

"What are you doing?" Vanessa who got the reply, instead of leaving, climbed in through the window and asked curiously.

Looking at this clever little guy, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "No, it's nothing, I'm making a difficult choice. By the way, aren't you afraid of my appearance?"

You must know that the first time I saw Vanessa, the other party was frightened by his half-demon appearance and burst into tears. Who would have thought that within a few days, there would be a very subtle feeling between the two of them. connect.

"Hmph! I... I'm not afraid!" The girl raised her chin arrogantly.

"Hehe, well, you are not afraid, but you cried when you saw my handsome appearance, right?" Zhang Cheng pursed his lips and teased.

"Bah! You are so shameless! You are worthy of being a warlock who deals with demons!" Vanessa made a mischievous face.

After getting along with each other for a few days, she has gradually realized that the scary-looking young uncle in front of her is actually not as scary as she had imagined at the beginning. On the contrary, she is a very humorous person, and there are many interesting and interesting things in his hands .

"Hahahaha! Thank you for your compliment, Miss Van Cleef. If you don't mind, can you please avoid it for a while? I'm going to do a more dangerous experiment next, and I don't want you to be injured by accident." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng Passed a bottle of silver-white potion on the shelf to the other party.

"Ha! No problem! Don't forget to go to the meeting!" Vanessa jumped up and snatched the bottle of potion, and disappeared into the dim end of the mine.

Looking at her carefree back, Zhang Cheng sighed slightly, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "You really are a girl with a tragic fate, enjoy it for a while now while you can still enjoy it." Well, it won't be long before everything you own will come to naught, and will be swallowed by the monster called hatred..."

Sighs are sighs, but he has no intention of interfering with the fate of Van Cleef and his daughter.

After taking a short rest and eating a decent lunch, he quickly drew complex patterns on the empty living room floor of the wooden house.

This time, what he drew was not some arcane rune, but a demonic rune exuding a strong evil aura.

Obviously, Zhang Cheng intends to try to summon a demon, and whether he can succeed depends on his luck.

After all, summoning demons in reality is not like in games. You only need to complete a series of tasks and then pay a soul shard.

The ritual of actually summoning demons is extremely dangerous and complicated, and the strength of the summoned demons varies with soul fragments of different qualities. Maybe the opponent is too powerful, and it is not uncommon to break free and kill the summoner...

Chapter 324 Selection

There is no doubt that drawing a summoning circle is not an easy task.

Generally speaking, a warlock needs to spend at least an hour and a half to carve the demon rune, and then activate it with blood.

However, in order to ensure safety, especially the part in the center of the magic circle used to restrain demons, it must be checked many times to ensure that there will never be any mistakes.

And this process often lasts for more than three days, and people with cautious personalities will even spend a week to half a month for repeated inspections until no more flaws can be found.

If you want to use it for a long time, you need to go through a series of magical reinforcements.

In short, the rigor of summoning the magic circle determines the life and death of the warlock, so no warlock dares to take it lightly, because the guy who takes it lightly is usually killed by the summoned demon when the ceremony is held for the first time.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng has a very good cheating tool, which is his demonized half body.

With the help of the abnormal state of this half of the body, he doesn't need to check whether the combination of runes is wrong one by one. He only needs to stretch his arm in and feel the resistance encountered, and he can easily judge whether the part bound by the demon rune is working .

In less than two hours, he completed a passage connecting the twisting void in the living room of the wooden house.

Accompanied by the filthy demonic language, the runes around the entire summoning method began to emit dark green light, followed by the terrifying fel flames from the central part.

Through the blazing flames, Zhang Cheng vaguely saw an ugly, distorted face exuding powerful evil power.
