Chapter 238 - The Soul Contract

Chapter 238: Chapter 238 the soul contract

Three days, Zhou Yu, Xiaobao, and secretary Xue Xueyan would have enough time to see all the tourist attractions in this small city. If it had been just Zhou Yu himself, he would probably just stay in the hotel room for three days. But since Xiaobao was also here, and the reason why he brought him there was to relax him, so naturally, he should not stay in the hotel room anymore.

Fortunately, this was not the peak season, and there were not many people, so they could still enjoy the scenery quietly. Suddenly without the little people of the ACG world, which originally could be seen everywhere in any tourist attractions, Zhou Yu was not quite used to it. And the picturesque landscape in the eyes of others was rundown and desolate in Zhou Yu’s eyes. Only by constantly switching the view, could Zhou Yu get the same feelings as others.

It was quite a hassle, but on the other hand, he was able to see twice as many different things in one trip, which made his trip much better than other people.

Xue Xueyan suddenly felt that the words Lin Wan had said seemed to be a little exaggerated. The small boss indeed did not like to talk much, and even if he came all the way to this place, he did not seem to be very excited when he saw the tourist attractions. He was so indifferent as if he was from the local area. But he did not do anything strange, and also did not cause any troubles.

It was also going on a trip, why was there so much difference?

Because Lilith was still worried about her father, it also affected Zhou Yu’s mood as well. Therefore, although he had three days to have fun, he could not enjoy it much. As for whether the Detoxification Source Code could be produced or not, it entirely depended on fate now. A curse that even the people from the Star Light city and the fallen city were not able to remove, to be honest, Zhou Yu did not have much hope for the mysterious man.

However, three days later, the eight trigrams logistics issued a notification sound, ‘your package has arrived’.

The detoxification source code is here? This underground mysterious man is really awesome!

Opening the package, Zhou Yu noticed that it wasn’t the antidote he had imagined. It was a miniature pagoda-style structure about 30 centimeters high. What is this for? Don’t tell me that the mysterious man actually did not develop a cure but make a pagoda so he could bury everyone inside?

Then from the transmission totem came Rubin the Hedgehog’s voice, “we’ve done our best. I’m sorry, we did not find a complete solution. Is Lilith there? She needs to hear what comes next.”

Calling Lilith over and then turning on the speaker mode, “Lilith, after three days of research, we’ve actually found a way to break the curse. However, once this method is used, all the infected people can only exist in spirit form. Whether to use it or not, It’s up to you to decide.”

The spirit form was basically the same as ghosts. And it was probably the same as the guardian spirit of Zhou Miao, which belonged to something that even the mini people in the ACG world also could not touch.

The pagoda was called Qibao Linglong pagoda, and its function was to suck all the Mojibake people in, and after a period of refining, it would completely eliminate the curse. However, those people could only live in the pagoda later on, and usually, they could go out of the pagoda at will, unless they were summoned.

Lilith’s father’s life now was like that of a ghost. They even called themselves the army of the dead, so they should be able to accept it. At least they did not need to kill their brothers every once in a while. So what Lilith asked was, “how can I summon it?”

“It’s very simple. You and your father have the same blood. A soul contract should be very easy for you to do. So you can become a soul summoner and sign a soul contract with hundreds of these souls. Then you can summon them at any time. However, there is one thing you need to pay attention to, that is when spirits are summoned, they will consume energy, and once they use up their energies, they will have to return to the pagoda to replenish it.”

Lilith was finally relieved when she heard that not only could she see her father every day, but she also did not need to worry about the curse.

However, only Zhou Yu had a long face.

Dang-it! All the merchants from Luhua village were unscrupulous. After checking the manual of the pagoda, Zhou Yu immediately felt like he had been scammed. This mysterious man was asking for the development fee of 1000 Moe Coins, and that did not even include the refurbishment fee of the interior of the pagoda.

After all, he could not make them feel like they were locked up in a prison. He needed to at least decorate the pagoda a little bit. So, to upgrade the pagoda, it required Moe coins, and the higher level it was the more expensive it would be. Moreover, the energy replenishment of the spirits also needed to be paid in Moe coins, and the minimum cost per day was 30 Moe Coins.

Although he had made some money recently, he could not just rip him off like that. For this broken pagoda, he had to pay at least 5000 Moe Coins, and then he had to carry on paying the consumption fees every day. This was truly an expensive item.

However, this word could not be said in the presence of Lilith, so when the king of thieves took Lilith to the general and explained everything to him, Zhou Yu complained to Rubin, “you and your friend can’t rip me off like that. What’s the good of this pagoda? Why does it cost so much?”

“Young man, you have a very good deal here. Using 5000 Moe coins to exchange for a code of law, you can’t find any better deal than this. You should know that the starting price of the code of law in Star Light city’s auction house is 5000 Moe Coins. Plus, you will also have hundreds of spirits, and a spiritual summoner Lilith by your side, even A+ class criminals and above would think twice if they wanted to cause troubles in your territory.”

Dang-it! Why didn’t I know that this gloomy guy was so good at negotiation?

Oh well, you get what you pay for. The fighting power of hundreds of spirits was comparable to that of an army. The price of daily maintenance was also similar to a military army. For the future peace of Luhua village, it was indeed not a bad deal to buy one.

Alas, the money he had just earned, was gone by half again.

Looking back at Lilith’s conversation with the general, the general at first did not believe that the curse could be removed so easily, so the king of thieves opened the pagoda in front of him and said sarcastically, “whether you believe it or not, if you want to see the result, try it yourself. But I’m afraid you might have already lost your courage.”

At that moment, a soldier, whose body was almost covered by the curse completely, stood up and said, “Sir, I don’t have much time left, and I don’t want to die in the hands of my brothers. Let me try it!”

Not only him, but also a few other people, whose body conditions were also very bad, also stood out, and wanted to try it. All these years, they had been living in a life that was worse than death, now that there was hope, of course, they would not want to miss it.

The general took one look at these brothers and sighed helplessly, “okay!”

After signing a soul contract with Lilith, the soldier walked up to the pagoda and was sucked in in an instant. After a while, Lilith summoned him, and then he reappeared before the crowd again.

As expected, the curse was indeed removed slightly from his body. It clearly proved the effectiveness of the pagoda.

The survivors of the dragon’s wing army instantly burst into cheers. After all those years, they would finally be free soon. If they could be free, they did not mind becoming spirits. In fact, they were surprised that it would be this easy.

The general looked back at the brothers and knew that everyone had already made up their minds, so he said to Lilith “fine, from now on the dragon’s wing army will serve Luhua village. But there is one condition, that is our flag will still be The Xuanyuan sword flag.”

What a stubborn, old-fashioned general.
