Chapter 140 Two Souls in One Body
Chapter 141 Two souls in one body
He has magic stones. Not to mention other things, a single high-level magic stone can easily be exchanged for more than 10,000 ordinary magic stones.
But as a last resort, Richard didn't want to use high-level magic stones.
After all, there are very few of these things on the market, and almost every time they appear, they are purchased at a premium.
Therefore, this high-level magic stone is easy to acquire, but it is difficult to acquire it again.
Moreover, Richard currently only has one high-level magic stone left, which is the key to being transferred to the blind fishman tribe, and it cannot be exchanged easily.
As for the other unnecessary items in his bag, if you put them together, they only amount to about 10,000 magic stones. It seems that he is unable to get all three items.
Richard thought for a while and decided to see how many magic stones [Wind Spirit Pendant] could sell for first.
So, Richard pretended to be reluctant to leave, and painfully took out a prismatic transparent crystal pendant from his arms.
"Director Boris, I wonder if your auction house is interested in acquiring this [Wind Spirit Pendant]?" Richard said, turning around and solemnly handing the Wind Spirit Pendant to Boris beside him.
When Boris saw Richard's expression, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that this pendant must be a more precious witchcraft prop than the [Wrath of the Storm] just now. He immediately raised his hands respectfully Take it and observe it carefully.
The next second, Boris looked surprised. This was actually an extremely rare top-level defensive witchcraft item.
From a practical point of view, it can be said to be no less than [Mimetic Bracer]. He didn't know why the other party wanted to sell it.
However, from the perspective of the auction house, of course, such a good thing should not be missed. Boris pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Dear guest, can I test the effect of this [Wind Spirit Pendant] now?"
"Of course." Richard nodded.
"Thank you." Boris immediately muttered a few short syllables according to the description on the explanation circle.
In an instant, a light cyan wind elemental shield enveloped his whole body, and the wind energy in his legs was particularly strong. This was caused by the superposition of the swift wind and the wind elemental shield.
In an instant, Boris was in the VIP room and running as fast as flying.
A few seconds later, Boris returned to his seat with a rosy face and said, "Dear guest, our bank is willing to pay 5,000 magic stones to purchase this [Wind Spirit Pendant], how about it?"
Richard was secretly happy. This was nearly 500 magic stones higher than he expected. However, he still showed an extremely distressed and reluctant expression. He frowned and said, "Director Boris, this price seems a bit low, right? What if? If that’s the case, I won’t sell it.”
"Don't! Don't! VIP, look at 5,500 magic stones, this is my lowest price." Boris said quickly.
Richard was silent for a while.
The girl next to her clenched her fists, nervously looking at Richard's meditative face, and shouting in her heart: "Promise, promise,"
After a long time, Richard nodded.
Both Boris and the girl breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly.
In fact, Richard was already happy in his heart, which was much higher than he expected. This was of course a good thing.
Looking at it this way, after selling these two pieces of equipment, I can get a total of 9,000 magic stones. With the more than 4,000 magic stones on hand, 13,500 is basically enough.
"Director Boris, I want these three items you just showed me!"
"What? All the distinguished guests are here?" Boris was stunned for a while, and the girl next to him opened her mouth in surprise.
The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
It seemed that both of them were shocked by Richard's arrogance.
13,500 magic stones is a huge amount of money no matter where you put it.
For the girl and Boris, this is a double blessing!
Boris calculated quickly in his mind, and after a moment, he said to Richard: "Dear guest, your two items total 9,000 magic stones, and you still need to make up the difference of 4,500 magic stones. It would be more convenient for you to pay the remaining part. ?”
From the perspective of the auction house, Boris, as the director, hopes that Richard can come up with one or two more good things to pay for the final payment.
In this case, you can make more money by selling it through the auction house.
Richard thought for a moment, and found that apart from the high-level magic stones and intermediate magic stones, there were only about 4,000 ordinary magic stones left on his body.
He immediately left more than 1,000 pieces in reserve, took out 3,000 magic stones and gave them to Boris.
Seeing Richard actually take out the magic stone to pay the remaining part, this made Boris a little disappointed.
In the end, there were still 1,500 magic stones left. Richard thought about it briefly and took out a bunch of hemostatic potions, healing potions, and primary mental power recovery potions from Mu Ken at Gurus Academy to use them.
This immediately made Boris and the girl happy again.
For them, the profits from in-kind deductions are definitely more substantial.
Ten minutes later, the money and goods were cleared.
With the courtesy of Boris and the girl, Richard walked out of Pete's Auction House with satisfaction.
This trip to the auction house can be said to be a journey of exchanging shotguns for cannons. All of Richard's shady items were replaced with three top-level witchcraft props, which increased his combat power by at least 20%. .
However, his pockets were suddenly very dry, and the remaining thousand magic stones were still used to buy mounts. It felt like he was back before liberation.
At this moment, Richard was a little nostalgic for the people who had given him the spoils.
I hope that next time, the enemy's storm will be more violent!
Richard took two steps and found something wrong.
The eyes of several wizard apprentices around him were a little wrong.
They seemed full of awe, envy and a little greed.
In an instant, Richard suddenly realized.
His knight's long sword [Ice Guardian] was okay. After all, there was a scabbard. The hilt was slightly covered with a robe, so it was not obvious that it was a top-level witchcraft prop.
But [Griffin Wings] was a long bow of 1.6 meters long, and its appearance was extremely cool. It was very eye-catching when it was slung over the back.
If you encounter a wizard apprentice with keen perception, once you get within a few meters of Richard, you can feel the powerful wind element power on the bow.
You can immediately guess that this bow is not an ordinary witchcraft prop.
Richard thought about it and found a leather armor shop. He bought a set of dark bright leather armor, but he still wore a hood to maintain a certain sense of mystery. With a sword on his waist and a large bow on his back, he gave people the first impression of a ranger.
Richard also covered the bow of [Griffin Wings] with a layer of animal skin of some strange creature, which weakened the fluctuation of the witchcraft array of the bow.
The same is true for the hilt of [Ice Guardian]. Without drawing the sword, it is impossible to tell that this is a knight's long sword of the top witchcraft prop level.
In this way, the whole person walking on the road looks ordinary and no longer so high-profile.
Following the instructions on the signboard, Richard came to a mount shop in Andel Market, but unfortunately, the mount shop here did not have more special mounts for sale like the Black Forest Market.
The mounts sold here are either ordinary horses or wildebeests.
According to the clerk, wildebeests are the product of hybridization between ordinary horses and a kind of zebra with horns on their heads.
Richard smiled slightly when he heard it. The zebra with a pair of horns on its head was a horned zebra, a low-level extraordinary creature, almost at the same level as a low-level monster.
The endurance and physique of the wildebeest far surpassed ordinary horses, but not as good as the strange creatures like the horned zebra.
So, Richard spent 25 magic stones to buy a strong wildebeest. At least, it was much better than the nag bought with 4 gold dinars in the small village.
After strolling around again and sweeping up some rare herbal raw materials, Richard was ready to leave the Andel Market and go to Silver Pine Town.
Starting from here, if the wildebeest is driven at full speed, it will take about half a day to reach Silver Pine Town.
Thinking of seeing his family soon, Richard couldn't help but feel a little excited, excited and a little nervous.
However, just as he was riding the wildebeest and walking towards the exit of the market, he caught a glimpse of a strange shop from the corner of his eye.
The shop was quite large. On the sign at the door, there was a group of people, both men and women. The men were strong and the women were beautiful, but they all had a common feature, that is, they were all wearing shackles.
Richard couldn't help but be very curious. It seemed that this was a shop selling slaves?
Pulling the reins of the wildebeest, Richard stopped and hesitated for a while, and decided to go and have a look.
So far, I have been to many shops, but this is the first time I have seen a slave house.
I don't know if there are formal knight-level slaves. If there are, I can buy a few to expand the family's strength.
However, it is strange that many wizard apprentices have entered this shop, but they have never come out.
Richard thought about it for a while and had a rough guess in his mind.
However, Richard went in for a while and returned disappointed.
The slave house mainly sells female slaves, and the quality of the female slaves is quite high. Many of them are young and beautiful, and even many female slaves who were once noble ladies can be found, which are quite popular among wizard apprentices.
After all, most wizard apprentices have limited talents, and many will choose to enjoy themselves in the moment. Some of them cannot bear the pressure and need to vent some dark desires in their hearts.
So, just as Richard guessed, this slave house has a hidden back door. When the wizard apprentice chooses the female slave he needs, he will put on a hood and quietly walk out of the back door.
After all, many wizard apprentices are from noble families and pay more attention to influence.
Sanctimonious? Richard thought about it and couldn't help but sneer. It seems that it is the same in every era.
As for the male slaves, Richard took a look and found that most of them were quasi-knights. The few who entered the knight level were either older than his father or northern barbarians, two meters tall and with thick hair, which was too eye-catching in the family.
After hesitating, Richard finally shook his head and walked out of the slave house.
But just after walking out of the slave house, Richard found that the Soul Devouring Demon Spider in his arms suddenly moved, and a spiritual power fluctuation no less than that of an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice instantly emanated from his arms.
This immediately made many wizard apprentices who entered and exited the slave house look at Richard in ranger costume in surprise.
——
Richard was also shocked, and immediately hurried to the only hotel in Andel Market and opened a room.
After entering the room, Richard's face was full of doubts, and he took out the crystal-colored Soul Devouring Demon Spider in his arms and stared at it in a daze.
Because just now, a little girl's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Mother, I can finally speak now."
"Mother? Are you calling me? Are you the Soul Devouring Demon Spider?" Richard muttered in his heart.
"Yeah! But Soul Devouring Spider is too ugly. Mother, can you help me choose a name?" The little girl's excited voice came from his mind.
Richard was silent for a while, but after thinking about it, he decided to correct it.
"Don't call me mother, call me father."
This made the Soul Devouring Spider a little confused, because there was no father in its blood genetic information, and all those who raised it were called mothers.
"What is a father?"
Richard's head hurt a little. He hadn't even married yet, but he had a daughter.
"Similar to mother, I'll explain the details later." Richard asked, "How did you suddenly become able to speak?"
"I don't know either. After this evolution, I can speak. By the way, father." The little girl said stutteringly.
"It's father." Richard guided.
"Father, by the way, father, you haven't given me a name yet!" The little girl said coquettishly.
"Your appearance now is like a piece of crystal, so let's call you Crystal, what do you think?" Richard thought for a while and said.
"Father, I have a sister here who also wants to come out and talk to you?" Crystal continued.
"What?" Richard suddenly felt a little creepy.
When did the Soul Devouring Spider have another sister in its body?
Is it schizophrenia?
Or is it the sequelae of swallowing too many souls?
"When did you have another sister?" Richard asked in doubt.
"After I evolved, my sister woke up. It seems that she knows my father?" Crystal didn't quite understand why.
Richard's mind was spinning rapidly. Could it be?
"Okay, Crystal, then let her out." Richard calmed down and said.
"Dad, if she comes out, I have to go back. I'll give her half an hour." Crystal said reluctantly.
"Okay."
The fist-sized Soul Devouring Spider on the table shook for a while.
"Richard, do you remember me?" A familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a long time sounded in Richard's mind.
Richard was still very familiar with this voice. Isn't this Stephanie!
Sure enough, "Good people don't live long, and bad people are left for thousands of years."
She's not dead!
"Stephanie?" Richard confirmed.
"It's me! I didn't expect to see you again in such a situation."
Richard was silent for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, now I and the Soul Devouring Demon Spider are one body and two souls, and the blood oath contract you signed with it is also valid for me."
Richard was stunned after hearing this, and said: "In other words, you are also my contracted creature now?"
After a silence on the other side, a faint female voice came after a long while: "Yes! Are you satisfied now? Everything I did has become your dress."
"Well, I'm just lucky." Richard touched his nose and said.
"Richard, can you do me a favor?" Stephanie said hesitantly.
Richard became alert instantly.
"What favor? I can't help you with anything big."
"Now Crystal and I are one body and two souls. Every time she comes out, I can only sleep. Can you find a way to find a suitable body for me?" Stephanie explained a little timidly.
"Richard, I have signed a blood oath with you. I am your man. It is good for you that I become stronger. Moreover, you don't have to worry about me playing tricks on you."
Richard's face darkened, and he thought to himself, what do you mean by my man!
However, Richard sensed it and could indeed sense an invisible connection between himself and Stephanie. He seemed to be able to control or order the other party to do anything.
After a pause, Richard asked, "What kind of body? There should be some requirements, right?"
"Can you help me find a female body that is better looking and younger? If possible, it is best to have the blood of the Spider Woman." Stephanie's voice became much happier when she saw that Richard had agreed.
Richard almost fell to the ground when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Spider-woman bloodline? Where do you want me to find it!"
Stephanie saw that Richard seemed a little angry, and hurriedly said: "Spider-woman bloodline, our family usually awakens one every 5-10 years, but the concentration of bloodline may not be as high as mine. I know that there is a 10-year-old girl in our family's side branch, who should be considered my cousin, and she has Spider-woman bloodline."
Richard was speechless for a while, it is true that it is difficult to change a person's nature.
"Stop! Let's discuss this later. By the way, besides a female body, there should be other conditions, right? Can you, like Crystal, directly perform special abilities similar to occupying a body?"
"Well, the biggest difficulty in the future is that we need to find someone to perform the spirit reincarnation ritual, or Richard, you can learn to perform the spirit reincarnation ritual. This witchcraft is not easy to find, but... I heard that someone at Gurus College should know this witchcraft."
It can't be such a coincidence, Richard thought to himself. After he killed Muken, he happened to find that Muken actually knew this rare witchcraft, so Richard learned it without much effort.
After a long time, Richard said faintly: "Let's discuss it later."
——
Rosby County.
Silver Pine Town.
At this moment, more than half of the houses in Silver Pine Town were destroyed, with broken walls and ruins, and some houses were emitting bursts of black smoke.
It looks like a small war.
Only the Castle of Clavier stood tall, as if it had not been involved in the war.
In addition to the fully armed guards on the castle wall, there are three men in full knight armor, watching the huge monster that looks like a crab and a bit like a spider wreaking havoc in Silver Pine Town.
The middle-aged knight in the middle with a frown on his face is Richard's father, Baron Clavier, and to his left is Richard's brother Levi.
"Father, are we just going to watch this monster wantonly destroy Silver Pine Town?" Levi looked at the houses, which were easily destroyed by this huge monster like building blocks, and his heart was bleeding.
You know, this is the hundred-year fiefdom of the Clavier family. The family has been operating and building for a long time to build Silver Pine Town into a prosperous appearance.
But now, it has been destroyed by this huge monster.
"Mr. Duan, who has the strength of a second-level wizard apprentice, is not the opponent of this monster, let alone us. Moreover, the shell on the surface of this monster is extremely hard. We have tried the human wave tactics, but it is meaningless except for increasing casualties." The sheriff Knight Rawlins explained.
After a pause, Knight Rawlins added: "But Lord Duan has sent a letter to the Ignis School for help, but I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive."
"Levi, don't be too impatient." The baron said in a low voice.
Baron Clavel's face has aged a lot. A few months ago, when the Ignis School informed the baron that his second son Richard died in a battle with the underground race, the old baron didn't say a word on the spot.
But for three consecutive days, the old baron didn't sleep, but stood blankly in front of the study window.
When Levi comforted his mother and went to visit the old baron again, he found that his father had aged a lot in an instant. His originally black hair had turned gray in three days. It can be seen how much the death of his younger brother Richard had hit him.
Maybe there is a thorn in the old baron's heart!
Because he thinks he made a wrong choice, not only did his second son Richard lose his life, but he also pushed the Clavel family into danger with his own hands.
Otherwise, if the family still had the promise from Wizard Ceres, the monster in front of them would definitely be easily solved.
"Lord Baron, I heard from Lord Duan that even if this monster came, it might not be a match for an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice. Fortunately, you had foresight and asked me to evacuate the people in the town to the castle first. At least the people in the territory have basically no casualties at present." Knight Rawlins reported.
"By the way, I arranged three more cavalrymen yesterday to report the situation to Earl Harris of Rosby County. I believe that after receiving the news, the Earl will send reinforcements in time."
"Rollins, you think too simply. Not to mention that the road from Silver Pine Town to Rosby County has been blocked by the sudden appearance of monsters. Even if the cavalry can arrive smoothly, how can you guarantee that Earl Harris will send reinforcements in time." The old baron looked ahead and said faintly.
Levi's face changed immediately, and he said, "Father, are you saying that this kind of powerful monster may also appear in other places in Rossby County?"
Rollins' face changed immediately. Yes, Earl Harris may be in a state of panic at this moment.
"Maybe some places are more critical than ours." The old baron nodded.
"Indeed, if it weren't for Lord Duan and these large crossbows in the castle, I'm afraid this monster would have broken through the castle gate a few days ago!" Thinking about the situation at that time, Knight Rollins couldn't help but still show fear.
"By the way, how is Lord Duan's injury?" asked the old baron.
Duan was injured by the shock wave generated by the monster's exaggerated large claws hitting the ground in the battle with the monster a few days ago, and his injuries have not healed.
"The injury is not light, but after another day, it should be fine for movement, but it will be difficult to fight!" Levi shook his head and said.
