Necromancer Farming Notes Figure Master

"Why are your hands so cold? Are you sick?" Nanaya touched the Duke's forehead curiously.

"Nanaya... didn't you say that as long as there is hope in your heart, the insanity will not break out?" asked the Duke.

"Yes! Everyone in the cult said so. So don't worry, now that I have you all, I won't feel despair anymore. I will live well! Start a new life!" Nanaya waved her little fists and looked full of energy.

But a complex expression flashed in the Duke's eyes. Feeling Nanaya's warm little hand, the Duke held it tighter. Until now, he had understood the meaning of the sinner's ritual.

The ceremony was not intended to verify the psychological endurance of the infected, but rather a test designed to allow the infected to prove their determination.

The Duke calmed himself down and whispered, "Dio, you contacted me now and told me this news not just to make me sad, right? What is your purpose? Feel free to tell me."

"It's easy to talk to smart people. Actually, you have two choices now. The first choice is to spend as much time with Nanaya as possible during these six days so that she can leave without regrets."

The Duke closed his eyes when he heard this. He seemed very calm at this moment.

"I know what you're thinking. Do you think that the history books will repeat themselves, so you can just wait until the next time Nanaya reincarnates to be with her?" Dio said with a smile.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" The Duke had a bad feeling.

"Of course, for beings like you who live and die every day, you may die of old age before the next reincarnation begins. You should know that your 140 years are just two days to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that you live and die every day."

"You!" The Duke felt a little uncomfortable, but soon he calmed down. "Didn't you say that our souls coexist? Will I die before you die?"

"It sounds good to call us symbiotic. Based on the pitiful mass of your soul, I naturally consume 200 of you every day. The soul grows and depletes, so if you die, I won't die either," said Dio.

"Dio! Stop talking! I won't fall for your trick! Maybe the reincarnation here only takes a few months. I can see Nanaya again every few months!"

"Hehe... I'll tell you the truth. According to my observation, the meridians in this furnace are very dense. I even suspect that it has covered the entire furnace."

"According to what the prince said, the short meridian that the scholar discovered has a cycle of 10 days. So according to the ratio, it would take at least 1000 years for the meridian here to cycle once. Of course, this is not long for me, only half a month. But for you, it is enough for you to die of old age 10 times!"

"In other words, after 6 days, you will never see Nanaya again in this life." Dio's cold words shattered the Duke's fantasy.

"No! How could this be!" The Duke did not suspect that Dio was lying to him, because he already had a vague premonition of this.

"So you still want to induce me to break the network node! But this is absolutely impossible! Destroying the node will also destroy the reincarnation! This is even more meaningless to me!" The Duke said uncomfortably.

"Destroy the node? You overestimate yourself. Based on my investigation these days, I suspect that the node here is most likely the bishop. You can't even get close to the bishop, how can you kill her? So I have changed my mind." Dio said.

"Bishop?" The Duke's face flashed with confusion. It was the first time he heard about the bishop. "Since I can't destroy the node, what do you want me to do?"

"Hehe... It's like making use of waste. I don't know if you can succeed, but if you do, you can stay here and accompany your Nanaya forever."

“……” The Duke felt dizzy, as if he had completely lost his direction.

"I want you to become the King of Madness Fire. This is the fastest way to become a god. As long as you become the King of Madness Fire, your life span will be infinite. But I think the possibility is very low. Your weak soul simply cannot bear the weight of Madness Fire." Dio said somewhat listlessly.

"Please tell me, how can I become the King of Madness?" There was a flash of madness in the Duke's eyes.

"...Forget it. I don't want to say anything anymore. You should just accompany Nanaya through these last six days." Dio seemed to have thought of something and didn't want to say anything anymore.

"Why? Are you kidding me?" the Duke asked angrily.

"No, I was just thinking, if you really become the King of Mad Fire, then you will never be able to get close to Nanaya. Even if you come back in the next cycle, do you dare to face Nanaya as the King of Mad Fire?"

"..." The Duke was silent for a while, his mind slowly turning, and then he suddenly asked: "Must I become the King of Mad Fire? Isn't there a golden tree here? Maybe I can try to become the King of the Golden Tree, or the King of the Spiritual Religion?"

"I'm sorry, the Golden Tree already has its own king, and the Spiritual Cult also has its own king. The only vacant position now is the King of Mad Fire." Dio seemed to be really considering the Duke.

"Didn't you say you have a method to become a god? Can you introduce that method to me? I am willing to pay any price!" the Duke said eagerly.

"I'm sorry, I just suddenly realized that the quality of your souls is too weak. The method of becoming a god that I know of is not suitable for you. Unless you complete your soul."

"Then how can I make up for it?"

"The first method is to practice, but according to your size, you will need to practice for at least several thousand years to reach the normal level. Your lifespan is still too short." Dio analyzed.

"What about the other method?"

"Of course it's sacrifice! As long as you sacrifice 20,000 to 30,000 people, your soul will almost reach the level of a normal person in the outside world. However, this method has serious side effects. Your soul will become very complicated, and there is a high probability that you will go crazy."

"But don't worry, there is a method that can purify the soul." Dio slowly guided the topic.

"Haha...you're not thinking of saying it's insanity, are you?" The Duke finally understood what Dio was planning.

"That's exactly right! So, in the end, it seems that you have no choice but to go the crazy route."

“……” The Duke was silent.

But Dio said, "You can decide for yourself. But in my opinion, there are so many girls in the world, why bother with Nanaya?"

"You understand nothing at all! You don't know what love is!" the Duke suddenly burst out.

"Hehe... maybe." Dio fell into silence after saying this.

At this time, the Duke shed tears in pain.

Seeing the Duke crying, Nanaya was startled and she quickly stretched out her little hand to wipe the Duke's tears.

"Why are you crying?" Nanaya was a little confused.

"Wow, wow, wow~" The Duke hugged Nanaya and burst into tears.

"...Ah?" Nanaya was at a loss.

When the world clock rang again, the Duke returned to his room with dark circles under his eyes, but he found that the general was not there.
