Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The choice of the mysterious ancient spiritual beast contract
Andre felt the changes in himself. At this moment, he had already entered the ranks of bards and became a member of this highly respected group.
It is true that there are significant differences between bards and ordinary people. When it comes to physical fitness alone, Andre is already keenly aware of the obvious difference. He only felt that his body became lighter and lighter, as if he could dance with the wind, and his five senses, including vision and hearing, were nearly twice as sharp as before. It was as if the whole world had become extremely clear in his eyes, even the smallest details. No sound or the dimmest light and shadow could escape his perception, as if he had been given a new, otherworldly insight.
"In this federation, bards are divided into nine levels." Andre thought to himself, and many details about the level division of bards emerged in his mind.
"Levels one to three are junior bards. They have just glimpsed the door and begun to appreciate the wonders of this profession. Levels four to six are intermediate bards, who have mastered more advanced skills and strength. It should not be underestimated; a seventh-level bard can be called a senior bard, with a high status and is highly respected by everyone; and an eighth-level bard can already be respected as a bard master, often Being qualified to serve as a professor in those prestigious universities and impart knowledge and skills can be said to be highly respected."
"As for the supreme ninth-level bards, they are all powerful men who have obtained the title of glory. Each has a resounding nickname and is respected by thousands of people. They shine like bright stars in the world, becoming the goals pursued by countless people and legends in their hearts. "
"Further up, there are the legendary king beast bards. Each of them is an extraordinary person who writes legendary stories. Their life experiences have been adapted into countless dramas and poems, which have been widely circulated. Even a hundred years after his death, he is still remembered by people and often mentioned, becoming a legend among generations. "
"For now, I have just awakened my original core talent. I have not yet begun the formal training of a bard, and I have not yet gathered star power in my body. Strictly speaking, I am not even a first-level bard." Ender Lie frowned slightly, feeling a little worried in his heart, feeling a little confused about the future path of cultivation.
"The bard's training..." When he thought of this, Andre suddenly felt a headache. At his current age, it is obviously slim that he would have a slim chance of being admitted to one of those prestigious star pet academies for further studies. After all, he has already passed the appropriate age for admission. Unless he can show extremely outstanding talent and performance, he may have a chance to be specially recruited. But how easy is this?
Most of the training knowledge required by junior bards comes from various star pet academies. Although there are some training methods of bards circulating on the Internet, they are just superficial and only stay at a relatively superficial theoretical level. As for the specific practical operations, there are no examples at all, which makes it really difficult to start. .
"Is it possible... that you want me to go back and ask Isabella for advice?" As soon as the thought came to Andre's mind, he immediately shook his head, as if to drive the thought out of his mind. When he thought of Isabella's face that always had an arrogant expression, Andre knew that the possibility of the latter being willing to teach him was almost negligible, and could even be said to be completely zero. No, to be precise. He was afraid that not only would he not be able to teach him, but he would also mock him mercilessly. Just thinking about that scene made him feel embarrassed.
Andre shook his head again and thought to himself, no matter what, since he has become a bard, the first priority is to make a pet beast first. Fortunately, he still knows a thing or two about the basic knowledge of making pet beasts. This is not an inscrutable mystery. Anyone who knows a little bit about pet beasts will probably know something about it.
"The number of pet beasts that a bard can contract is closely linked to his mental power. The stronger his mental power, the more pet beasts he can sign a contract with, and the strength of the pet beasts can also be stronger!" Andre Thinking silently in his heart, he remembered this quite clearly.
"Generally speaking, bards cannot make pets that are two levels higher than themselves. Otherwise, the powerful mental oppression will make people fall into madness and lose their reason. In severe cases, they may even become completely stupid. The consequences are really unimaginable." Andre knew the stakes. At this moment, he was not even a first-level bard, so the range of pet beasts he could contract was extremely limited.
Fortunately, there happens to be a pet beast in his shop. Thinking of the Skull, Andre couldn't help but hesitate. This little guy doesn't really seem to have anything special about him, but if he signs a contract, it feels like he will occupy a valuable position. After all, every time a contracted beast is formed, the mental pressure on the owner will increase.
"If we were to purchase other pet beasts, most of the pet beasts with high-level bloodline would only stay at the first level for a very short time. With my current strength, if I cannot improve it in time, I am afraid it will drag down the pet beasts and inhibit them. If it grows normally, that would be a sin." Andre frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. It seemed that he didn't have much choice, and he could only choose a low-level pet at the moment.
Fortunately, you can still terminate the contract when your strength improves in the future. Although the termination of the contract is quite heavy on the mental burden and will cause the person to lose combat effectiveness within three days, fortunately, with the protection of the pet shop, the sequelae are not too troublesome in comparison. .
After making up his mind, Andre no longer hesitated and walked towards the front hall.
Snap!
The Skull seemed to be so frightened by the sudden movement that it rolled off the chair at the front desk and fell to the ground, instantly shattering into a pile of skeletons. It looked quite funny. However, it quickly reorganized slowly, as if it had some magical recovery ability, but its movements seemed a bit panicked, as if it had not yet recovered from the shock.
When Andre saw this, he couldn't help but feel speechless. This Skull seemed to be very timid. As a demon beast, it was really strange to have such a timid temperament.
"Little guy, you will be my pet from now on." Andre said softly, walked forward, gently picked up Skull from the ground, and carefully placed it on the counter.
Skull sat there blankly, his empty eye sockets staring straight at Andre, with a dull look, as if he still hadn't figured out what happened.
Andre was quite satisfied when he saw it being so obedient and well-behaved. Although the timid pet beast may make people a little worried in battle, the only advantage is that it is easier to tame, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Andre was about to conclude the contract. At this critical moment, the familiar voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind, prompting: "Host, do you choose to purchase the ancient spirit beast contract?"
"Ancient spiritual beast contract?" When Andre heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes full of doubts and surprise.
"The ancient spirit beast contract is actually a kind of star pet contract. It has all the characteristics of the common star pet contracts. However, its uniqueness is that it allows the owner to perceive the emotional changes of the pet beast, as if he can communicate with the pet. The beast establishes a wonderful spiritual connection, and within a certain range, the owner can recall the pet beast to the pet space at any time to protect it from dangers from the outside world, but the premise is that the pet beast is not restrained and restrained. Seal." The system explained patiently, with an extremely serious tone.
Andre was dumbfounded and shocked. He never thought that the contract concluded would have such an unusual effect. In his previous knowledge, there seemed to be only one kind of star pet contract. No one had ever mentioned that besides the regular star pet contract, there was another such magical contract.
Moreover, the pet beast can be recalled at any time. The effect of this contract is too powerful, right? Andre secretly thought to himself that if he had this contract, once the pet animal sensed that danger was approaching, he could immediately recall it to prevent it from falling into danger or even sacrificing its life. For the bard, this was simply a blessing. What a wonderful skill that is like a gift from God!
Thinking of this, Andre suddenly became vigilant and asked quickly: "How much energy does this contract cost?"
"It only takes one hundred energy." The system replied calmly.
Andre was suddenly stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. Just a hundred energy? Such a powerful and magical thing is actually sold at such a low price? You know, the low-level animal trap rings in the store only cost 100 energy.
"This contract is actually a semi-gift, and its actual value is far more than that." The system still said calmly.
"Really?" Andre frowned suspiciously, secretly cursing in his heart. Could this be a deliberate attempt to blackmail me for the hundred energy under the guise of a gift?
"Attention, this is the first warning for inappropriate words!" The system's voice sounded again, with a hint of seriousness.
"Humph, doesn't this mean admission?" Andre sneered. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he also knew that arguing with the system would not do much good.
The system did not respond again, as if it had acquiesced and fell into silence.
Although Andre was still complaining in his heart, after much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and decided to buy this ancient spiritual beast contract. Although judging from the current situation, the benefits of this contract to him have not yet been fully demonstrated, there is no doubt that this ancient spiritual beast contract is absolutely extremely precious and valuable. Moreover, this contract is not a one-time use item, but can be used repeatedly and is effective for all pet beasts. In this way, he will be able to benefit from this contract for a long time to come.
If this contract can save the life of a high-level pet beast in the future, then the hundred energy spent at this moment will definitely be worth it.
As the "-100" prompt appeared, the system's voice came again: "Purchase successful, your ancient spirit beast contract has arrived, please pay attention to receive it."
Before Andre had time to feel sorry for the energy that had been taken away, suddenly, a complex and mysterious mark appeared in his mind without warning. The structure of the mark was extremely exquisite, as if it were carefully drawn with the most delicate lines. Each stroke seemed to carry some mysterious power, slowly engraved in his memory until it was unforgettable and could no longer be remembered. Forgetting seemed to have become a part of his body and soul.
"Use blood as a guide and formation as a contract?" Andre came back to his senses in a daze, only to feel that the method of concluding the ancient spirit beast contract clearly emerged in his mind again. This wonderful method of concluding the contract made him Feel deeply shocked.
It turns out that this method of conclusion does not rely on star power, but requires one's own blood as the contract paper, and then uses those complicated and mysterious stripes to carve it into a formation, which serves as the core content of the contract. The contract thus concluded is extremely strong. Unless the owner actively chooses to terminate the contract, no matter what external force is encountered, the contract will never be severed. Its stability is beyond imagination.
"Aside from the miraculous function of being able to recall pet beasts at any time, in other aspects, it is indeed the same as a regular star power contract, including the fact that when the contract is terminated, the combat effectiveness will be lost within three days." Andre carefully said After feeling it for a while, I understood in my heart that the system had not deceived me. This ancient spirit beast contract was indeed a rare and wonderful thing.
