Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2557 - 1927: Artifact Spirit (Double-Length)_2
"Sir, you got it right. I have indeed completed the task of the magic mirror!"
Su Ran said cheerfully, not intimidated at all by the look on the Evil Sovereign’s face.
"Nonsense!"
The Evil Sovereign didn’t believe it and immediately questioned, "The magic mirror fragments are scattered across the ancient battlefield and the Dragon Domain. These places are incredibly hard to find, how could they be gathered so easily? Tell me, what’s your reason for coming here?"
"Sir, I’m telling the truth. Why do you still doubt me?"
Su Ran took out all the magic mirror fragments and handed them over to the Evil Sovereign, "Look, task completed."
"..."
The Evil Sovereign stared at the piece of fragment, momentarily stunned.
"Ahem."
After about six or seven seconds, the Evil Sovereign coughed awkwardly a couple of times, collected the fragments, and the displeasure on his face vanished, leaving only embarrassment.
"Skeleton Lord, your skills are impressive. Finding both the ancient battlefield and the Dragon Domain in such a short amount of time is unbelievable!"
The Evil Sovereign sighed with admiration, his gaze at Su Ran had changed.
"Sir, not only have I collected all the magic mirror fragments, but I also obtained this!"
Taking advantage of the moment, Su Ran took out the Demon King’s Order, "I got this in the ancient battlefield. Please, have a look."
"This is..."
Upon seeing the ancient Demon King’s Order, the Evil Sovereign lost his composure. He took the token, flipping it over several times before exclaiming, "This token hasn’t been seen in hundreds of thousands of years. Skeleton Lord, you truly have an amazing ability!"
"Sir, I heard from the Demon King in the ancient battlefield that if I give the token to you, you’ll promise me a request, right?"
Seeing the Evil Sovereign not mentioning the rewards, Su Ran had to bring it up proactively, lest the old guy thinks he’s unaware and pockets the reward. That wouldn’t do!
"Speak, what request do you have? Feel free to ask."
The Evil Sovereign put the token away and said in a solemn voice, "As long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll try to fulfill your request."
"Well..."
When it came to rewards, Su Ran was a bit conflicted. He heard from the Demon King that he shouldn’t be too greedy, or it would anger the Evil Sovereign. Thus, seeking a God-Demon Device or God-Demon Pet skills were off the table. He had to settle for something else.
As his gaze fell upon the Evil Sovereign, inspiration struck him, and a plan formed in his mind.
"Sir, I’m a Skeleton who values emotions. Having contacted you over these years, I’ve grown accustomed to your presence and can’t bear to see us part. How about this, I don’t want the reward, just for you to remain in the territory, alright? My request isn’t high; stay here for fifty years, and by then, if you still choose to leave, I won’t hold you back."
Su Ran spoke sincerely, pouring all his emotions into his words. Even he felt moved by his own speech.
Exchanging a token for fifty years of the Evil Sovereign’s protection is not just worthwhile; it’s a huge gain!
He was willing to give up even the Supreme Demon Artifacts if it guaranteed the Evil Sovereign stayed in the territory!
The timing of the appearance of this Demon King’s Order couldn’t have been better, providing a legitimate reason to retain the Evil Sovereign in the territory, a deal better than any reward!
It’s worth noting that a human lifespan is a hundred years, but the Evil Sovereign was different, having lived countless millennia. To it, a mere fifty years was but a blink of an eye, with nothing to worry about. This indirectly lowered his demand, and using the Demon King’s Order should be enough.
Su Ran was confident about this.
"Skeleton Lord, I didn’t realize you had such deep feelings. Very well, I’ll agree."
The Evil Sovereign didn’t make things too difficult for Su Ran and agreed promptly. "When it comes down to it, I’ve gotten something out of this arrangement. The territory has the Strange Demon Bone Cauldron for protection; my presence here seems a bit redundant."
"Impossible!"
Su Ran immediately retorted, "Sir, don’t be modest. You’re the stabilizing force in my territory. Only with you here do I have confidence in resisting the Ghost Clan’s attacks. Besides, it’s thanks to you that the territory has been held. Without you, it would have changed hands long ago."
Seeing that the Evil Sovereign had agreed to his terms, Su Ran felt much more at ease, meaning he no longer had to worry about the Evil Sovereign abandoning the territory.
"Skeleton Lord, since you treat me so sincerely, I’ll assist you during the Soul Fusion, so I can accept this token with peace of mind."
"Ah? Thank you so much!"
Su Ran looked at the Evil Sovereign in surprise, not expecting a token to have such a significant impact, even affecting the magic mirror task. It was an unexpected delight!
"No need for thanks."
After saying this, the Evil Sovereign didn’t say more, gathering the three fragments of the magic mirror together.
"Wooosh!"
In an instant, purple light flared, nearly blinding Su Ran’s titanium alloy eye sockets.
Under Su Ran’s intense gaze, the three fragments began to slowly fuse before his eyes. Moments later, the cracks vanished, and the magic mirror became a complete entity, as good as new.
Oh my, the shattered mirror has been restored!
Su Ran couldn’t resist casting the Detection Technique on the magic mirror, wanting to know its properties, as the fragment’s properties suggested the magic mirror was crucial to the rise and fall of the demon race, highlighting its significance.
If he had the ability to repair the magic mirror, there was no way he would submit it just to complete a task. It would be treasured like a precious gem!
Since the magic mirror belonged to him no longer, he could only admire it briefly as Su Ran’s Detection Technique scanned the mirror, revealing its attributes at once—
[Magic Mirror] (Supreme Demon Artifact)
Attributes Unknown.
"Oh my goodness, Supreme Demon Artifact!!!"
Though the mirror’s properties were invisible, the term ’Supreme Demon Artifact’ alone reflected its immense value.
Staring at the violet mirror, Su Ran was filled with envy. To complete the task, he handed over a Supreme Demon Artifact, no wonder the Evil Sovereign was so excited!
Luckily.
The Evil Sovereign was one of their own, ensuring the magic mirror continued to serve the territory, and this was sufficient.
Once he realized this, Su Ran felt much more balanced internally. The stronger the Evil Sovereign, the greater the deterrent it posed, combined with the protection of the Strange Demon Bone Cauldron, let’s see if the Bloodsucker Venerable dared to invade!
The territory’s development had reached this point, gradually becoming what Su Ran envisioned, leaving him quite content.
"Skeleton Lord, now that the magic mirror is restored, this Artifact Spirit Scroll is yours."
After obtaining the magic mirror, the Evil Sovereign was in a very good mood, filled with goodwill when he looked at Su Ran. "Summon the ghost carriage, and I’ll help you with the fusion!"
"Thanks a lot!"
When Su Ran heard this, how could he hesitate? He promptly took out the ghost carriage, signaling the Evil Sovereign to begin the fusion.
With the Evil Sovereign personally handling it, Su Ran had no concerns, eagerly awaiting the manifestation of the complete ghost carriage.
This complete ghost carriage was comparable to the Demon Tower, its rank probably no less than the magic mirror. The Artifact Spirit Scroll had a chance of acquiring an artifact spirit, also potentially unleashing enhanced effects on the spirit. This was an unpredictable factor. However, with the Evil Sovereign performing the fusion, surely the system would give some consideration?
Yet.
The greater the hope, the bigger the disappointment.
Just as this thought crossed Su Ran’s mind, the Evil Sovereign used the Artifact Spirit Scroll.
Unfortunately, it didn’t yield an artifact spirit, only unveiling the effect to enhance an artifact spirit.
That’s a disaster!
Faced with this outcome, Su Ran was deflated. After all the effort, venturing through the ancient battlefield and the Dragon Domain, this was the result he got. It was hard to swallow this reality, leaving him speechless.
"Skeleton Lord, do you have any extra artifact spirits? This enhancement effect only lasts for three minutes, it would be a pity to waste it!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The Evil Sovereign was also somewhat disappointed with the result. Since it had already happened, it needed to be addressed, or the loss would be even greater.
"Sir, it’s precisely because I didn’t have any artifact spirits that I undertook the task. Now, where am I supposed to get an artifact spirit for you?"
Su Ran said weakly. Asking him for an artifact spirit now, wasn’t that making things difficult?
