Chapter 66: Dark Inheritor
After entering the door, Ma Yingjie looked at this place he had longed for with disappointment, and found it so dilapidated.
There was a mahogany table with a missing leg, two paint-peeled mahogany chairs, a small cabinet as tall as a person, and an old bed. The quilt on the bed was not folded but piled up randomly. You could also see a corner of Playboy, Star and other magazines. On the cover page, a hotly dressed modern girl was looking at Ma Yingjie with a beaming smile on her face.
"Ahem, this is toilet paper. I threw it on the bed because I had no place to put it." Seeing that Ma Yingjie noticed her hidden magazines at a glance, Carilla's face turned red.
But Carilla was secretly glad in her heart that she had hidden away Jin Ping Mei, A Few Things Between My Girlfriend and I, The Splendid Moulin Rouge, and the Dark Entertainment Industry, otherwise she would have brought shame to the players.
"Not complete, these are decades old. I'll give you a complete set of "Wandering Between AV and VA" someday. It's definitely better than Jin Ping Mei or something like that."
"Hehe, you really misunderstood. I'm too old to be in that mood. God, I'm not lying." I only believe in the gods of fire and water. It's none of my business whether God blames me or not, Kerila thought to herself.
…………
"Come, kneel down." Carilla walked to the cabinet, fumbled around on it for a while, then turned to Ma Yingjie and said.
"What did you say?" Ma Yingjie looked at Carella with hostility. This old guy was not playing tricks on him, right? With the intelligence of the NPCs in Blood Cry, they could do anything.
"Kneel down, otherwise how can I perform the advancement ceremony for you." Seeing that Ma Yingjie had misunderstood him, Carilla pointed to the cabinet that she started to move.
After a sound of "Hela La", a strange man with a pitch-black body, six wings and a snake in his hand appeared in front of Ma Yingjie. Next to this strange man were some strange characters written in some strange articles that Ma Yingjie could not understand.
"Is this an angel?" Although he was reluctant to associate the ugly guy in front of him with an angel, the fact proved that Ma Yingjie really had no other choice.
"This is the Fallen Snake Angel, the founder of the Undead profession. All Undead professions must worship him to advance." Seeing Lu Hao's look, Carilla said without a trace of joke on her face. From this, it can be seen that Carilla has the awareness of being a great magician.
While cursing this god who appeared out of nowhere in my heart, I did as Carilla said. The cold ground gave me a refreshing feeling, which rose from my kneecaps to my whole body.
Kerila, who was acting as a statue next to him, began to perform some strange rituals on Lu Hao, chanting some spells that Lu Hao couldn't understand. Judging from the few characters that occasionally popped up that Lu Hao could understand, it should be a high-level sacrifice.
Suddenly, Carilla took out a magic wand from somewhere. The wand was a dark black in color, and its simple shape carried some kind of magical energy.
A strange pattern covered the entire staff, and on the top of the staff was a statue of a six-winged fallen angel. The fallen angel was chained to the top of the staff, with its jet-black wings spread out vigorously, its face ferocious, and two sharp teeth exposed from the corners of its mouth, extremely weird.
Just when Lu Hao was wondering why Carilla, as a great magician of the light camp, had a staff that was very strange in shape, Carilla's dry voice sounded without any emotion.
"Reborn in the rune of the scorching sun... annihilated in the exchange of yin and yang... the desperately struggling dark seeker, trudging through darkness and light..."
Carilla's chanting was intermittent but gave people a sense of coherence, as if he had finished it in one breath. Ma Yingjie felt a sense of oppression in his chest, as if an evil energy was eroding his soul. This energy was lingering in Ma Yingjie's body bit by bit.
"Darkness is your homeland, our great King Satan... The hand of darkness holds up the darkness of the entire world. Wake up, Guardian, follow the footsteps of your predecessors and become the inheritor of darkness..."
When she recited the spell to this point, beads of sweat began to appear on Carilla's forehead and the skin on her face began to turn pale, but she continued to recite it.
“………………Dark inheritance…………”
After reciting this sentence, beads of sweat began to roll down Carilla's face, and her face turned pale in an instant, like a piece of white paper that had been rendered too much.
As Kerela's spell was completed, the six-winged fallen angel holding a snake on the wall suddenly emitted a scarlet light in his eyes.
This ray of light shone on Ma Yingjie's body, and Ma Yingjie felt an irresistible pressure. He was wrapped in this power like a newborn baby, allowing this power to run rampant in his body.
"call!"
The red light in the eyes of the six-winged fallen angel disappeared as abruptly as it appeared. Ma Yingjie immediately felt the pressure on his body lighten and his limbs were relieved. At this time, the system prompt also sounded at the right time.
System prompt: Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the Dark Inheritor. Great Dark Inheritor, follow the devil's footsteps to liberate the evil thoughts in your heart.
System prompt: You have obtained the Necromancer's advanced skill, Drain Life.
Drain Life: When attacking a target, absorb the opponent's HP and make it your own, 20 points each time, lasting for 10 seconds. This skill cannot be upgraded.
This life-draining skill feels very similar to the Vampire's Kiss, the only difference is that this skill restores your own HP, while the Vampire's Kiss restores the vampire's HP.
"What profession is the Dark Inheritor?" Ma Yingjie looked at Kerila in confusion. He had played a lot of games before, but he was very unfamiliar with the profession of Dark Inheritor. Wasn't he a necromancer? How did he suddenly become a Dark Inheritor?
"The Dark Inheritor is a person who is called, just like the Holy See of Light has a messenger who spreads the faith of the God of Light. The only difference is that you inherit the faith of Lucifer, the Lord of Darkness." Carilla answered Ma Ying-jeou's question while wiping the sweat from her forehead with her tattered robe.
"The inheritor of darkness? Like the messenger of light? Aren't messengers of light angels?" Lu Hao looked at Carilla in astonishment, and then began to stroke his back. He did not grow wings like a fallen angel. Except for his stronger aura, there was no change in his body.
"Don't touch me, you are a human being. This is just a title. It can only make some NPCs in the dark camp more fond of you. It doesn't increase your own strength much." Carilla seemed to be able to see what Lu Hao was thinking, and explained to him from the side.
"Doesn't that mean increased luck?" Lu Hao said in surprise. He could communicate with the NPCs in the dark camp, so he could find ways to gain benefits from them. The favorability of the NPCs in the dark camp was a good thing, haha.
"Don't think about it yet. There are still skills to learn here, a total of three skills. Also, give me three jars of monkey wine. You can take 500 gold coins for each." Carilla reminded Lu Hao that it was time to learn skills. The reason why she was so kind was of course for the monkey wine worth 100 gold coins per jar.
"How much? How many gold coins were there at most before?" Upon hearing this, Ma Yingjie immediately said with a pained look on his face. Isn't this just ripping people off?
"It was a basic skill before, but now it's an advanced skill, and it's not expensive. Other professions need skill books to learn new skills, but you only need to pay 500 gold coins to directly learn a new skill. You're getting a big bargain." Carilla shamelessly settled the account with Ma Yingjie.
It is true that other professions need skill books to learn skills, but nowadays, except for some abnormal skills, no skill book can be sold for more than 500 gold coins.
"Forget it, five hundred is five hundred, just learn a skill first. I have less than a thousand gold coins on me now, and I used all the money that should have been used to learn skills to buy you wine." Lu Hao knew that he had to learn it no matter how slow he was, so he might as well choose the one that he needed most at the moment. It seemed that the withered Bauhinia owed him one million RMB and hadn't given it to him yet, so he asked her to transfer some directly to his game account.
"These are the skills you need right now." Carilla flipped out a booklet with the words 'Absolute Temptation' written on it. Carilla blushed, and touched another book, flipped through a few pages and handed it to Ma Yingjie: "These are the skills you can learn right now, take a look."
Ma Yingjie grabbed the booklet and looked at the skills listed on it with his mouth wide open. The attack skill he had always wanted to get appeared.
Dark Judgment: Causes an absolute blow of 500 points to the target, with a cooldown of two minutes, doubles the damage to the Sanctuary profession, and consumes 20 MP points.
Light of Wings: Increases movement speed by 20%, lasts for 30 seconds, has a cooldown of five minutes, and consumes 20 MP points.
Dark Redemption: Restores 200 health points to the target, cooldown time 1 second, consumes 50 mp points.
Ma Yingjie looked at these three skills and felt that his spring was about to come. However, the cooldown time of Dark Judgment was too long. Although the attributes were good, it was destined to be a useless skill.
"Ahem." Old man Kerila looked at the changeable expression on Lu Hao's face and said, "Our relationship is not an ordinary one. If you give me three jars of monkey wine, I will let you learn the skills first. As for the money, just give it to me when you have it." Anyway, he was not afraid that Lu Hao would throw it away, so old man Kerila was ready to seize the opportunity to rip Lu Hao off again.
"Deal." Ma Yingjie gritted his teeth and said, he was very eager to get these skills. After making an agreement with old man Kerila, Ma Yingjie went to the system restaurant to buy wine.
There seemed to be few players on the street, but it was not too crowded. After all, most people had not entered the game yet, or some leveling maniacs were leveling outside. The number of people that Ma Yingjie could see was obviously much smaller.
"Shadow." Ma Yingjie was wandering on the street, preparing to buy wine at the restaurant across the street, when a sound of gnashing teeth rang out in the alley next to him.
"Yes, it's me." Without even turning his head, Lu Hao knew it was the withered Bauhinia. Having been together for such a long time, Lu Hao knew quite a lot about this woman, but of course he had not yet reached the level of in-depth understanding.
"I told you to wait for me at the teleportation array, why are you here?" The withered Bauhinia snorted, pinched her waist with both hands, and looked at Ma Yingjie with wide eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense for now. I'm short of money now. Please lend me a few thousand gold coins first." Ma Yingjie said directly to the withered Bauhinia.
"What do you want so much money for?" asked the withered Bauhinia in surprise.
"I was doing an advanced task just now. Now the task is completed. It costs 1,500 gold coins to learn the skill." Lu Hao said.
"You have completed the advanced tasks, and you yourself?" The withered Bauhinia asked back in disbelief after hearing what Ma Yingjie said.
"Yeah, it takes about an hour to go back and forth."
"What level of mission did you accept?"
"It's an E-level mission. You can turn it in once you get 100 zombie claws."
"Oh my god." The withered redbud flower cried out in anger, "Why do I want the Blood Wolf King's head, but you just kill some ordinary monsters?"
"Because I bribed that old man." Ma Yingjie told the Withered Bauhinia how he eliminated other high-level tasks. After hearing this, the Withered Bauhinia cried out in regret: "If I had known it was so simple, I would have done the same. I never thought that the NPCs here could be bribed."
"Where's the money?" Ma Yingjie, who was too lazy to waste time, once again extended his hand to the withered Bauhinia to collect money. The withered Bauhinia generously threw three thousand gold coins to Ma Yingjie. It was indeed a lavish investment.
