Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

Chapter 16 The Contract of the Dead

"What to do?"

Zhang Yao asked.

"A chef will ask you to do nothing more than help him find ingredients, serve food, clean up kitchen waste, etc..."

Cheng Shen Shen Ropeway.

"Serving? Who's serving?"

Zhang Yao said in shock.

"Why do you think there is a cook in the castle?"

Cheng Shen asked rhetorically.

"Well……"

Zhang Yao was stunned and thought, ghosts also want to eat?

"Either of those two possibilities, there's only one thing you have to do - find the ingredient and try to get your hands on it.

It may have information about other 'tenants' in the castle. Knowing this will be of great help to your survival, but this matter will definitely be very dangerous, and you will die if you are not careful."

After Cheng Shen explained the pros and cons, he stopped talking.

Let Zhang Yao make his own decision.

He gave enough reminders.

But this is all based on thinking about the problem from his own perspective.

Everyone's personality and ideas are different.

If it were him, he would definitely choose to fight. It has never been Cheng Shen's character to sit back and wait for death or let nature take its course.

But not everyone has the determination to take the initiative to break the current environment.

Hang up communication.

Cheng Shen stayed by the campfire to warm his body for a while.

For a long time, he plucked up the courage to approach the well. After being mentally prepared, he quickly stuck his head out and looked down.

Gone.

Gone?

Hope it never comes back...

Cheng Shen sighed secretly.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Cheng Shen's movements suddenly froze, and cold sweat suddenly flowed down. He saw a bloodless face hanging in the iron bucket hanging on the edge of the well through the black water.

Stare at him.

"I……"

Cheng Shen held back his beautiful Chinese words.

etc!

Something is wrong...

It seems that this bucket of black water was not left by the female corpse to monitor him.

It's because the bucket was given the power of rules by the system and was blocked in the Black Sea...

Cheng Shen didn't know why he suddenly had such an idea.

immediately.

He realized.

This is most likely a psychological suggestion given to him by the system. This barrel of black water was deliberately left by the system for him!

but,

Why does the system do this?

Could it be that it is hinting to itself that although strange things are scary, as long as you find the right method, you can intercept their power and use it?!

"I see."

A look of wisdom flashed in Cheng Shen's eyes.

"It seems that the curse conveyed by those corpses is not directed at me personally, but at the system behind me..."

"Fate?"

"I seem to be close to the truth..."

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Hesitate for a moment.

Cheng Shen still stayed away from the well.

He didn't have a container suitable for holding the bucket of black water, and he didn't trust carrying such a terrifying thing with him. It was just a pity that the well was a well, and he didn't dare to use it again after what happened.

"The acceleration scroll can be used later. When the missionaries compile the information book, maybe we can get some useful information..."

"Let's dig the cellar first..."

Cheng Shen pondered.

Bread and raw meat have a short shelf life at room temperature.

Although storing it in a territory treasure chest can greatly slow down the rate of decay, it will only last for a few days at most.

He opens the trading market.

Search tool.

He immediately discovered that there were several shovels for sale. Cheng Shen spent one gold coin to buy two of them, then looked through them and saw another special prop.

【Contract of the Dead】

【Props】

[Level: Normal]

[Explanation: After use, two skeleton servants can be summoned. The skeleton servants only have low intelligence and are 100% loyal to the summoner. They can execute some simple instructions. The skeleton servants will never grow due to their quality.]

[Price: 5 gold]

This item can be regarded as a directional unit recruitment scroll.

But the actual value is not high.

Because the skeleton servant's level is too low, its combat effectiveness is basically zero. If it were followed by the word "warrior", it might still be able to sell for some money.

Its only value is as a production unit.

But its inability to grow limits its potential.

Like other units of the same level, whether they are farmers, miners or low-level elves, they can continue to grow and become advanced units.

In comparison.

This contract of the dead is like a child's toy.

However, it also has advantages.

Can be used repeatedly.

It is not a one-time prop like a scroll.

Although the maximum number of skeleton servants that can exist at the same time cannot exceed two, the advantage is that even if it is damaged, it can be replenished at any time. Buying this contract of the dead is equivalent to having two permanent tool men.

This adds to its value a lot.

Cheng Shen bargained with the seller for a while and finally decided to buy it for 3 gold.

[Obtain: Contract of the Dead!]

What he started with was a dark gray parchment scroll. The surface of the parchment scroll was carved with black lines, forming a profound and mysterious six-pointed star pattern. As soon as he got it, Cheng Shen immediately felt familiar.

This is……

A prop made with strange power?!

Cheng Shen was shocked.

That ominous aura was exactly the same as the coldness and deathly silence he had experienced when he came into close contact with the female corpse in the well!

It's just that the energy contained in this contract is so weak that it's almost imperceptible.

Sure enough, strange power can be used...

Cheng Shen's eyes flashed.

Who made this contract?

Is it a system?

Or a survivor who gained great power earlier?

Although he was uneasy, he felt a strong interest in his heart.

Choose to use.

Whoosh!

Streams of dark gray air suddenly emerged from the center of the parchment scroll, intertwining and intertwining in the sky, forming a half-meter-large vortex.

Within the vortex.

A majestic and vague statue of a god stood vaguely.

But before Cheng Shen could see clearly, his eyes were obscured by a dim whiteness.

Click, click.

Two skeleton monsters made entirely of human skeletons walked out of the whirlpool, with two green will-o'-the-wisps glowing in their sleek and terrifying heads.

"Buzz buzz..."

They bowed stiffly, and Cheng Shen caught a strange wave, which was automatically translated in his mind as:

"See your lord!"

The parchment scroll behind him lost its strength and fell to the ground. Cheng Shen stepped forward to pick it up and noticed that the original ominous aura had dissipated a lot, and it seemed that it was used to maintain the existence of the two skeleton servants.

He put away the parchment and looked at the two properties.
