Shameless Warlock

Zula didn't describe in detail how his father went crazy and was finally buried by his own hands in the cemetery where the relatives of the Ratman tribe were buried for generations, but Xu Nan could feel the huge emotional fluctuations hidden under his seemingly flat tone.

This was something he had never felt before, and it was quite novel.

"This has something to do with the bard's ability."

"According to the description in the Pink Book, I am now in the advanced stage of Desire Apostle. It is normal to have this kind of reaction. This profession itself is very sensitive to the human mind, and emotion capture naturally has a related bonus."

Xu Nan listened quietly, although there were many thoughts in her heart, she did not interrupt Zula's narration hastily.

According to him, when his father was dying, he still insisted that he had heard the call of the gods, and the gods promised him that he could lead him and the Itka tribe out of this dark abyss and grant them eternal relief...

But the Ratmen, who were tortured by the devil day and night, were not willing to believe what Zula's father said, and neither did Zula himself; they thought he was crazy - the main evidence came from the well he dug with his own hands. anything!

After his father died, Zula took people to the dry well many times to investigate, not to mention the power of the so-called gods, and there was no sign of any mysterious power.

In the end, he made the place a no-go area with grief.

In the days that followed, the Rat People entered a darker age, and Zura, who had just grown up, obviously couldn't protect the tribe like his father—they encountered three attacks by dark creatures within a month, and were once on the verge of extinction.

By this time, however, the Itkarats had displayed astonishing resilience.

Generations of emerald radiation, although to a certain extent made their nerves sensitive and fragile, easy to be bewitched and tempted, but it greatly developed their intelligence; and survived the temptation and torture of the devil Ratfolk possess a super strength of will that their brethren lack.

Relying on this willpower, a leap-like evolution occurred within the Ratmen: a large number of Ratmen realized the magic-like ability, and a small number of Ratmen's bloodlines changed, becoming as powerful as professionals.

In this process, Zula's own progress is the most obvious. With the help of various books left by the rat-men priests of the past generations, he successfully broke through himself. If calculated according to the laws of the general world, he is actually a fourth-level spellcasting Those who are one level later than Jiang Yuan are stronger than Xu Nan!

This evolution brought the ratman tribe back from the brink of extinction, and the angry devil finally disappeared, but everyone knew that he did not leave. He was still wandering in this seemingly cursed land. When weak, give a fatal blow.

"Sounds like a hide-and-seek rat..."

Hearing this, Xu Nan couldn't help pondering: "Since your tribe has undergone such an evolution, shouldn't that devil dare to come to you again... I guess, the Well of Illusion has changed?"

This is obvious.

In Zula's narration, his father dug the Well of Illusion himself, and there was no abnormality at the beginning, but what Xu Nan saw in the rat man's farm before was not a normal ancient well.

Sure enough, Zura nodded:

"The well . . . has undergone a very horrific change."

"About three years ago, when someone was fetching water, he heard a strange sound in the ancient well. He leaned over, but saw the face of a very scary woman! The woman greeted him with very strange words, claiming to be a god. The messenger of her will come to guide the lost. Everyone who sees her trembles and loses the ability to move!"

"By the time I rushed over, the woman had disappeared."

"Although I don't know her specific origin, I guess it must have something to do with my father's madness. I searched a lot of books, but found nothing; then I simply stationed near the Well of Illusion, every night, I can hear The girl's crying and singing, the two mixed together, actually made me have a thought of surrender and fear..."

Zula's expression became very serious: "I have fought with devils and know their details; but the existence in the Well of Illusion is something darker than devils. I tried to use divination to trace her origin, but I was hindered. Seriously injured!"

Is it so powerful?

Xu Nan muttered a little.

Zula, a spell-like professional who belongs to supernatural evolution, since he said that he can use divination, then he must be very specialized in related fields.

The backlash of divination that can seriously injure a Tier 4 professional has an astonishing background, at least it has a godhead or something similar!

If this is the case, it is indeed the same as what Zula said, and it is not comparable to the devil.

"After this incident, I read a lot of books—although our ancestors were slaves, they learned a lot from the magical civilization. These things happened to be mastered by me and came in handy smoothly."

"The magic circle sealing technique near the ancient well that you saw earlier is my masterpiece."

Speaking of this, Zula couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Since the seal is completed, I only need to reinforce it regularly, and that terrifying existence has never disturbed us easily, but occasionally I still hear the girl's singing, but This is nothing compared to the pain before."

"To this day, the biggest problem of our tribe is still the devil who signed the contract with the gnomes in the first place. His name is Cruz. Although his body no longer appears, he has been using the loopholes in the contract to attack ours. Dreams make us feel uneasy."

"To me, those tricks of his are nothing, but for others, the invasion like water dripping through stone is too unbearable. In addition, I have to put a lot of energy into the Well of Illusion... "

Having said that, Zura sighed heavily.

Xu Nan's eyebrows loosened.

He can probably understand the Itka Ratman's difficulty: they wanted to leave, but there was a lingering devil staring at them and trying to pluck the wool; What a great god, seriously involved Zula's energy.

If things go on like this, if there is no second evolution, the ratman tribe will probably collapse.

"I thought I could be of some help."

Xu Nan thought for a while and said slowly.

Zula was not surprised, but looked into Xu Nan's eyes:

"I know that your origin is extraordinary. Although I didn't use divination, I can perceive it."

"The only thing I care about is, do I, or we, have to give anything?"

Xu Nan smiled:

"Where do you think your most valuable place is?"

Zura was silent.

"It's impossible for an Itka to be anyone's slave again," he said after a while.

Xu Nan shrugged: "I don't need slaves."

"I'm just interested in you guys."

"If you don't mind, I would be happy to invite you to become residents of the Unknown City."

Zura's face was instantly filled with astonishment:

"You... invite... residents?"

"I think your magical talent is very suitable for some of my industries." Xu Nan didn't hide it either: "I plan to develop the emerald mine, but there is a shortage of manpower. I think your people will be very good employees if they are trained. "

"Employee?" Zu La seemed unable to understand this word.

"In short, it means cooperation and mutual benefit."

Xu Nan didn't explain in depth either. It's impossible to become a fat man in one go. He took a fancy to some characteristics of the Itka Ratmen and hoped that they could work for him. But before that, he had to solve the worries of the Ratmen. .

"Then what can you do about that devil?"

Zura wasn't excited either, but calmly raised her own doubts.

Xu Nan smiled and shook her head: "I don't know much about that devil."

"How about, let's start with the Well of Illusion."

...

Ratman Farm, near the Well of Illusion.

Xu Nan appeared here alone, while Zula controlled the wooden crow, and according to Xu Nan's instructions, carefully untied a corner of his seal.

"How sure are you?"

Wood crow looks very prim.

Perhaps because of being trapped by Cruz for an unknown number of years, Zura and the Ratmen overreacted to any extraordinary power.

Xu Nan vaguely remembered the reply she got when she asked Offi about the Well of Illusion that day.

Perhaps, thinking about it in a different way will make a difference?

Such thoughts crossed his mind, and he approached the well.

Xu Nan glanced inside, only to see the bottomless darkness.

In the depths of the darkness, thick fear seems to be condensed. Here, emotions condense into lumps, and seem to turn into tides, as if to swallow all living beings!

"This feeling is terrible, no wonder Zula is so afraid."

Xu Nan muttered something, and couldn't help but open the field of courage to support herself.

According to his judgment, the female face that appeared that day should be the existence of spirits.

"Maybe she is asking for help?"

Xu Nan's mind was wide open.

At this time, it seemed that he felt the release of the seal, and the changes in the ancient well were sudden!

A little bit of light broke out from the darkness, as if someone was trying to push away these lumps of negative emotions, and then climbed up!

"Here it comes! Here she comes!" The wooden crow's voice was ugly.

Xu Nan nodded and signaled, "You can turn off your hearing."

Immediately, he looked into the ancient well, took a deep breath, and started singing loudly!

Requiem, one of the bard's three major songs!

Since it is a soul, let's use a requiem to appease her first!

Xu Nan thought so.

His singing voice passed down the ancient well bit by bit.

Suddenly, the upward trend of the white light stagnated for a while, and after a while, it turned around and rushed down without hesitation!

Under Xu Nan's gaze, those solidified lumpy objects followed the white light, and everything dived rapidly, gradually disappearing from his vision!

The Well of Illusion instantly turned into an ordinary dry well.

"Sure enough, there is nothing that a song can't solve!"

He couldn't help laughing at himself.

At this moment, in his peripheral vision, he found an ancient symbol at the bottom of the well.

This symbol, it seems, somewhat familiar.

...
