Chapter 150 The Demon King’s Reward
Sano originally thought that Luo Yan would be somewhat embarrassed after seeing him, if not embarrassed. After all, he was deceived into coming here.
However, what he never expected was that the Demon King was thicker-skinned than he thought, and he didn't even think there was any problem at all?
Looking at Sano who seemed to be stunned, Luo Yan said with a smile.
"How is it, are you used to the life here?"
"It's okay..." Sano swallowed and replied truthfully, "The environment here is not much worse than hell, but the wind is a bit stronger and the sky looks a bit turbid."
Luo Yan nodded and sighed softly.
“This is indeed a problem. This planet has been almost destroyed by the indigenous people living here, and what is left is just such a rotten land. It cannot even be self-sufficient in the most basic living resources. Food and water have to be transported from the necropolis. I even couldn't help but wonder how these local monsters survived. "
This sentence can be said to be in Sano's heart. He really doesn't understand the use of this rotten land, let alone the point of staying here.
Especially because this is a place of chaos!
out of fear of Chaos and out of self-protection, he, who never went to the temple on weekdays, was actually as devout as a fanatic, spending half an hour every day praying behind the group of lizardman acolytes.
Not even just himself, he also did it with his subordinates!
However, just when Sano was feeling aggrieved, the Demon King standing in front of him suddenly changed the subject and revealed the matter so lightly.
Seeing the Demon King turn around and leave, Sano was stunned.
This is gone?
log through up in the air Hearing the voice coming from behind, Luo Yan stopped and turned around to look at Sano who seemed to have something to say.
"Is there anything else?"
Sano hesitated, then spoke after a while.
What does a planet mean? Planet Kaa? Is this still the continent of Os? Or is it near the dimensional desert? Luo Yan was slightly startled when he heard this. He quickly realized that the world he lived in had not completed a circumnavigation of the world.
“Planet... is naturally a planet, which literally means stars moving in the universe. If you find it difficult to understand, you can think of it this way. We live in a vast universe, just like a big tree with leafy branches. No matter in our life The world, or the world of chaos, is just a leaf on this tree. "
If we want to talk about it from the most basic principles, it will take a lot of time, and even if he understands it in the end, it will not make any sense.
"So the stars above our heads... all correspond to the same world?"
Luo Yan nodded and said.
"Yes, but not all worlds are alive. The vast majority of planets are dead, without souls and consciousness, with only endless crustal movement and monotonous physical and chemical reactions. Even the greedy chaos has no interest in these planets."
Sano looked at him blankly, seeming to be stunned by this grand background for a moment.
However, he quickly came to his senses and continued to speak.
"But this is different from what we agreed. I came to the necropolis to work for you. The employment contract did not say that I would go to the planet Kaa——"
"But it didn't say I wouldn't go, right?" Luo Yan blocked his mouth with one sentence, "And this is also part of the necropolis. I don't think this violates the contract between us."
Looking at Sano who was speechless, Luo Yan did not intend to continue bullying him. After all, he still needed him to work.
Should we make some additional investments?
This guy can't escape here anyway.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yan had an idea in his mind and continued.
"How long have you been at the silver level."
I don't know why the Demon King asked this, Sano was stunned for a moment and said.
"Almost five years."
Luo Yan nodded.
"Five years...if you haven't neglected to exercise in these five years, then the silver level will probably be the upper limit of your life."
"..." Sano didn't know what expression to use to face this sentence, let alone why the Demon King suddenly mentioned it.
Just when he was confused, Luo Yan suddenly smiled mysteriously, looked at him and said.
"Do you want to become stronger?"
Sano shrugged his shoulders.
"No one wants to, but this is not something I can do if I think about it."
Only gods can see the level of the soul. Mortals cannot see the level of their own souls, but they can feel it indirectly.
When he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the silver level bottleneck, he realized that his soul level only had so much.
In fact, silver is not bad either.
Most high-level demons are only silver-level. Only families with a long history and pure blood can give birth to demons above gold.
Besides, he is just an orc, not even a demon. The vast majority of orcs don't even have extraordinary powers. Just like humans, bronze level is already the ceiling for ordinary people with ordinary backgrounds.
Just like the life stages that everyone goes through, Sano has gradually accepted his mediocrity after touching his ceiling.
However, at this moment, the Demon King standing in front of him lit a fire in his heart...
"I can let you break through the bottleneck of silver."
The voice was like the whisper of the devil.
Or, that is what it is!
Even though he understood that this was impossible, Sano could not help but feel an expression of excitement on his face... although it was quickly replaced by doubt and self-deprecation.
"I'm not interested in becoming an undead..."
"It's not about becoming an undead, and it has nothing to do with the rituals of the undead."
"I know what this guy has misunderstood," Luo Yan shook his head slightly and continued with a smile.
"You will obtain spiritual sublimation in your own identity... Generally speaking, this can only be achieved after your life ends and returns to the embrace of His Majesty the Demon God."
"Then how did you do it?" Sano looked at Luo Yan with a suspicious face, obviously not intending to eat this piece of cake.
However, Luo Yan did not share his experience and just smiled faintly.
"I'm the Demon King, I just upgraded to a silver-level soul. This little thing is very easy for me."
One million faith points are not cheap. Luo Yan only had 3 million faith points after saving for so long.
Most of this is the income after the duel in the Magic City, including the faith value contributed by the audience, including the faith contributed by some demigod-level old monsters who admired him, and the legends about him that were later spread in the Magic City, etc.
In the past, Luo Yan would indeed feel physical pain, but now he is no longer what he used to be, especially since he is holding a planet with unlimited potential in his hands!
Not to mention the demon god Bayali, even the "God of Machinery" Lint Isaac who gave him the godhood has never been able to do such a good thing!
Considering that the lord Octor on the first level of the maze is all gold-level, the ranking of this "colonial governor" cannot be too low.
Luo Yan planned this, but Sano was still full of doubts about whether he could fulfill his promise.
Is it possible for a demon king to do this kind of thing?
Sano had no idea for a while.
After all, this is the only Demon King he knows, and the other things he knows about the Demon King are fragments of information from hearsay.
For example, he remembered that the demon god Bayali seemed to have been the demon king.
But just because of this, the Demon King has the same power as the Demon God, which sounds a bit too far-fetched.
Just as Sano was thinking about it, His Majesty the Demon King, who was standing in front of him, had already stretched out his right hand and pointed his index finger at the center of his eyebrows.
Before Sano could realize what was happening, he felt a hot stream of warmth pouring in from the Tianling Gai, and then filled his body in just a few breaths.
A warm feeling enveloped him, and he felt indescribable relief and joy all over his body, as if every pore was breathing!
For a moment, he even felt like he was back in the embryo again...
The unprecedented joy and comfort lasted for about a minute.
When he opened his closed eyes again, he suddenly found that the whole world seemed to be a little closer to him, and the light from his eyes was like lightning!
Feeling the surging power all over his body, Sano looked at the Demon King in surprise, his voice trembling uncontrollably due to excitement.
"You...what have you done?"
Gold level!
The bottleneck that could not be broken through for many years was actually broken through in an instant!
He could not wait to go to the mountain outside the castle to find a monster to try his skills!
Looking at the excited Sano, Luo Yan said in an understatement yet majestic tone.
"Like I said, it's just a matter of upgrading to a silver-level soul. It's not a difficult thing for me."
After completing the upgrade, Sano's soul has been marked with his own godhead, in other words, he has become his own chosen one.
At the same time, Luo Yan opened his attribute panel, and a dark green pop-up window quickly appeared in front of him.
Physique: 129
Strength: 146
Agility: 60
Intelligence: 16
Spirit: 40
To be honest, this is the first time Luo Yan has seen the attribute panel of a gold-level player.
After all, the players are still far behind. Sarah and Arakdo are still in the development stage, and he himself has just broken through to silver.
Although he had expected that the gold-level data would be incredible, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw the three-digit physique and strength.
I hope this investment will not be a loss!
Sano's expression was instantly moved, and the excitement and admiration in his eyes could not be described in words.
This Demon King... didn't lie to him? !
This noble lord can really see the level of his soul! Not even just seeing it, but changing it!
As we all know, only gods can see the soul level!
Reminiscent of the content of the prayers of the acolytes some time ago, Sano suddenly had a realization in his heart -
This guy might not be an ordinary demon king!
He knelt down on one knee piously, lowered his proud head, and there was only humility in his eyes.
"Thank you for your gift! My sword will always be loyal to you! Until the end of time!"
He was so unbelievable before, how pious he is at this moment.
And he believed that not only himself, but anyone after seeing that amazing miracle would be as impressed as he was.
With just one finger, he broke through the bottleneck that he had been unable to break through for several years!
He simply could not imagine how powerful the demon king in front of him possessed!
When he thought that he had previously judged that this gentleman was nothing more than a silver-level necromancer, he felt a sense of shame in his heart.
Being an enemy of such a terrifying existence...
The Dragon family must be crazy!
"...This is the power I have given you in advance. I hope you can use it properly. If you can complete the task I assigned you, I will give you more rewards."
Luo Yan looked down at Sano, his ordinary tone as if he had just completed a trivial task.
However, to Sano's ears, that ordinary sound was like a huge wave thousands of feet high, shaking his nerves.
More rewards!
Could it be——
Is there any way for this gentleman to reach the platinum level? !
Sano could only feel his heartbeat speeding up, and his breathing could not help but become rapid.
That was a level he could not even imagine!
It seems that Mr. Kamu Dragon is only at platinum level?
Although it was only temporary...
Luo Yan was very satisfied with Sano's reaction.
Sure enough, the vast majority of orcs cannot resist the temptation of power...just like most humans cannot resist the temptation of money and power.
After saying this, Luo Yan looked around at the fanatical orcs around him and continued.
"The same goes for you."
"As long as you are loyal enough, you can please me."
Leaving these last words, Luo Yan signaled Sano to get up, and then left here with Sarah who was following him.
After returning to the castle, Luo Yan looked at Sarah and said.
"I plan to go back to the necropolis, are you going to go back with me, or stay here?"
Those bright eyes told him that she wanted to go back with her, and she didn't even want to leave his side for a moment.
But after hesitating for a moment, Sarah still raised her head and said seriously.
"I want to... stay here for a while."
She seemed to be worried that the Demon King might misunderstand something, so she hurriedly added something later.
"Strength is improving very quickly here... Sarah wants to help you as soon as possible."
Luo Yan didn't misunderstand anything, he just smiled and touched her head.
"It is a good thing to work hard, but you should also pay attention to rest."
Although it was a bit regretful that he could not pet the cat for the time being, he respected Sarah's own thoughts.
At the same time, he released the power of faith from the palm caressing Sarah's head, raising her soul level from bronze to silver.
Compared with the expense of upgrading to gold level, the cost of upgrading the soul level from bronze to silver is just water.
One million was spent, and Luo Yan didn't care about the 100,000.
Since the level limit was only increased rather than the actual level, Sarah did not have the same reaction as Sano Blackhand who had full experience points to break through the bottleneck.
She only felt a warm current gently caressing the top of her head, which made her feel comfortable and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
The feeling is like bathing in the warm sunshine. In just a moment, it seems that all the fatigue in the whole body has been cured.
Happily watching Luo Yan take his hand away, Sarah sent him to the teleportation room until the beam of light disappeared into the empty room.
The dark and dense grotto came into view again. In the blink of an eye, Luo Yan had returned from the outpost fortress on the planet Kao to the teleportation room in the necropolis.
Looking at the familiar scenery, Luo Yan took a deep breath, with a happy expression on his face.
"The air here is better."
He only stayed on the planet Kaa for a while, and a thick layer of dust had already fallen on his clothes, as if he had rolled in a circle on the sand.
By the way, before he came back, Oak and the others also came back one after another.
And it was his mount Alacto who brought them back.
It's just that the goblins didn't go here, but to the public teleportation array on the fourth floor of the maze - the one used by the players.
The space there is more spacious.
And he planned to place the thousand "boobulas" in the mist forest as neighbors of the night elves and the adventurers of Mist Town.
Looking at Luo Yan who was hanging his coat on the hanger, Youyou still said reluctantly.
"Master Demon King, you have only known Sano for a few days, and you just upgraded that guy to the gold level?"
"Is there any problem?" Luo Yan said casually, "Most of the gods and their chosen ones have actually met each other. It’s just a face.”
“But...that’s one million faith points! Converted into contribution points, that’s 10 million! Players have to complete the task for a long time.”
Hounding Yuyou’s indignant complaints, Luo Yan smiled.
It's okay to convert it into contribution points.
That thing is just a "player value" he issued based on his faith value, and it is not something that really exists.
"Is there a possibility that NPC is not the object of comparison for players, but part of the player's game experience. Would you be surprised because the royal guard of a certain Stormwind City is level 100?"
Yuyou was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand which Stormwind City Luo Yan was talking about, she thought it was the same thing.
It is really inappropriate to compare players with NPCs.
“But... I still feel that this guy is too cheap.”
Looking at the small-bellied Youyou, Luo Yan said casually.
"There is a saying that goes long-term to catch big fish. On the surface, it seems that we have paid 1 million points of faith, but in fact the price he paid is even greater. And for us, as long as he works hard, the faith points we invested in him will soon be recovered, and we will even gain more."
When speaking of this, Luo Yan paused and continued.
"Don't forget that his soul has been marked by us. From the moment he became the Chosen One, he can't live without us."
Whether Yuyou objects or not, in short, this matter has been decided.
The outpost fortress of Kaa Planet is guarded by a gold-level orc warrior, and there are thousands of players stationed there, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem in terms of safety.
At that time, he will transfer a few more magic crystal cannons, including other imaginative weapons made by professional life players.
If he couldn't hold on to this, then he had no other choice.
"...The arrangements for Kaa Planet have come to an end for the time being. Next, we should solve the problems in the maze." After forcibly ending the previous topic, Luo Yan walked towards the teleportation room and said to Yoyo floating next to him, "We can't deal with Chaos at the same time. , while dealing with Reggie Dragon's old men. "
Judging from Tyrell's strength, those guys are at least gold level, maybe even platinum, but they probably won't reach diamond level... After all, Reggie Dragon himself is only diamond level.
To frighten the platinum-level demons, it is not enough to just upgrade his soul. He must also prepare a more exaggerated stage -
He not only has to make them recognize his identity as a legitimate ruler, but also has to make them believe that he has the strength to be as strong as Reggie Dragon!
Probably able to sense what Luo Yan was thinking, Youyou, who was floating aside, whispered.
"Disguising yourself as a diamond-level expert...is this really possible?"
It is not trying to pour cold water on the Demon King, but at least in its opinion it is too difficult.
Although the soul level is invisible, the strength can be tested.
For example, the previous succubus named Lilith could detect that the Demon King had broken through the silver level with just a few simple physical contacts.
But that guy is a diamond-level succubus. His sense of smell is far beyond that of others, and he also has no sense of boundaries. It seems inappropriate to use it as an example.
Hhearing Youyou's worried remarks, Luo Yan just smiled faintly.
"Have you forgotten what we got from Professor Edonia?"
Yuyou was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask what the use of those magma bugs was, but something suddenly occurred to her, and she fell to the ground in admiration.
"As expected of the Demon King! He is so insidious and cunning!"
"It's good that you know."
Luo Yan replied briefly, then walked through the long corridor and came to the entrance of a newly excavated cave.
He reached out and knocked on the wooden door hanging on the cave. Soon there were heavy footsteps behind the door, and soon a cow head came out.
The moment he saw Luo Yan, Xino's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, as if he had seen a savior, and he excitedly reached out and held his shoulders.
"Luo Yan! I am innocent! You know it! I am more loyal to the devil than anyone else! I am loyal!"
"Really?" Luo Yan looked meaningfully He smiled and said, "I remember that not long ago, a certain terror questioned His Majesty the Demon God's decision in front of me."
As soon as he heard this, Xino was immediately frightened and smiled awkwardly.
"I...well, that was not my intention."
Luo Yan calmly pushed his hand away and spoke slowly.
"Then what is your intention? Do you want to have a fight with me when you have nothing to do? If that's the case, it's no wonder you were targeted by the Flame of Destruction."
Hino hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't say a word to refute, so he could only lower his head in shame.
"I'm sorry, I have realized my mistake. I should not question His Majesty the Demon God's decision, let alone you... You are the most suitable lord of the labyrinth below Thunder County, the unquestionable king of the necropolis! I can I swear in front of the demon statue that I will forever give up the pursuit of this territory."
After this incident, he already had a psychological shadow on this place, and finally realized that this hot magma rock was not something he could control.
In fact, if it hadn't been for his grandfather's instigation, he wouldn't have had to take this territory back.
Having only stayed here for a few days, he could no longer stand the bad environment in this remote and remote area, and he wished he could go back to the devil's capital immediately.
Luo Yan looked into his eyes and reminded him.
"You have no right of recourse, let alone that I have won the duel."
"Yes... you won, you are the undoubted winner!" Xino nodded, looking at him pleadingly and said, "I beg you to be noble... Please help me!"
Luo Yan looked at him calmly, without nodding directly.
Yoyou can see the level of his soul, and at the same time, he can also see that there are some unclean things mixed in his soul.
Luo Yan knew what it was, because there was something similar in Miranda's soul...it was the mark left by Chaos.
The only difference between it and Miranda is that Miranda has defeated chaos and suppressed the pollution of chaos.
And he has just been polluted.
If he returned to the Magic City at this time, he was afraid that he would be taken away by people from the Ministry of Truth as soon as he landed.
But on the contrary, if he can successfully suppress the pollution of Chaos, this ordeal may become his opportunity.
"...I can give you a chance, but you have to cooperate with me to do something."
Hearing Luo Yan's answer, Xino's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, and he said quickly.
"Just give your orders! As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it!"
Looking at Xino, who was patting his chest and promising, Luo Yan had a meaningful smile on his face.
"Then I'll see how you perform."
