There is an underground tomb somewhere in the World of All Spirits. This place is strangely quiet and spacious. No one has visited it for thousands of years. But at this moment, there is sudden movement. In the center of the tomb hall is a huge sarcophagus. On the lid of the sarcophagus are a dozen candle lampstands. At this moment, these candles suddenly light up, emitting a faint blue light.
Then, a dozen figures walked in slowly in two columns. Under the illumination of the candlelight, I discovered that these 'people' were not real humans, but human-shaped puppets and machine creatures. They were dressed like maids, with wooden heads on their heads. Each of them held a large mirror, which was strange and unusual.
These puppet maids are arranged on both sides of the stone pavilion, with a total of eighteen. Eighteen mirrors reflected the faint blue candlelight, and soon black shadows appeared in the mirrors.
"How are you, your Majesty?" The figure in the mirror spoke first.
"Everything goes well, Moushuai. We are so lucky to have a genius like you in our Night Dire family." Another mirror echoed, and others also agreed.
"If it weren't for the ingenious plan, the Night Dire clan would have been exterminated by the human race long ago after the Corpse Emperor was sealed. When His Majesty the Corpse Emperor wakes up, we will definitely ask for your credit. There are eighteen kings in the Night Dire clan, and there should be a deputy emperor. A superior commander, this is all what the commander-in-chief deserves."
"This is all a trivial matter. We only need to build a big network. When His Majesty wakes up, we can completely expel the human race from this continent. In the meantime, I hope you will cooperate with me." Night Dire named Moushuai Said modestly.
"Don't worry about looking for a commander. We strictly abide by the strategy of looking for a commander. Add two to show one, add two forces to show one strength, and exert moderate pressure on the human race. At this moment, the human race still naively thinks that we are at odds with each other. Well, I don’t know that the strength of our Night Dire clan is several times greater than theirs. What expressions will they show when we launch a general attack? I’m really looking forward to it.” The figure in the other mirror said with a smile.
"By the way, Moushuai, why do you know so much about the human race? You have even succeeded in inciting civil strife among the human race three times? Your great wisdom is the most powerful weapon of our Night Dire clan." Another person asked curiously.
The man named Moushuai explained: "In the past, when the Corpse Emperor was around, his strategies towards the human race were too domineering and straightforward, and he put too much pressure on the human race. On the contrary, it made the human race condense into a monolith. In fact, compared to the human race, our night dire clan is the largest. The advantage is that they are connected with each other. After all, we are multi-faceted. When the external pressure is low enough, the evil thoughts in the hearts of the human race will appear. They are competitive and greedy. No matter what they do, they must compete for ranking and priority. The interests of the classes are not unified at all, and civil strife will happen sooner or later, provided that they do not feel strong pressure from the outside world and affect their common interests."
"In this case, shouldn't our Night Dire clan show that the weaker the better?" someone asked.
"As the saying goes, there are wise men in the human race. Showing weakness like this will allow them to understand my plan in advance. The current situation is just right. It not only puts a certain amount of pressure on them, but also does not make them become monolithic." Moushuai said. .
"The commander-in-chief is wise, wait until the Corpse Emperor appears, and wait until the next civil war in the human race, we will definitely win the battle in one fell swoop. Commander-in-Chief, what do you think?"
"Haha, humans are the enemy after all, and we must not be careless. But I really like two sentences from human wise men, 'Any strong fortress can be broken from the inside' and 'Humanity has never learned lessons from history,' so in the end The victory must belong to our Night Dire clan!" Moushuai was confident.
In the inn, Zhan Yue was still immersed in the papers, absorbing the basic knowledge of this world.
"The Night Dire family is the mortal enemy of our human race. They are a kind of spiritual creature. They can move freely by inhabiting the corpses of various creatures. They are afraid of the sun and stay day and night. The souls of creatures are their food. They eat souls. Invading corpses is extremely vicious. Human souls are the most powerful and are their favorite food.
In ancient times, Night Dire was even called the natural enemy of mankind. It was not until one strong person was born in the human race that they relied on them to unify the power of the human race and develop many techniques and weapons against the Nightmare, allowing the human race to fight against them. There was back and forth, and we ended up with today's situation.
Nowadays, the daytime belongs to humans and the night belongs to Nightmare. The existence of the Transparency Tower allows humans to sleep peacefully at night, but places where the Transparency Tower cannot shine are still dangerous and non-strong people must enter by mistake.
The special power of the Contractor can cause harm to the spirit body, so the Contractor is the core force against the Night Dire and has a special status among the human race.
Today, the various forces in the World of All Spirits are complex. If divided by country, there are ten major empires as leaders, and the three major chambers of commerce distributed among the ten major empires control the commercial lifeline of the human race. In addition, there are five major alliances that coordinate the combat power of the Contractors. , the eight major academies inherit human knowledge and combat skills.
The World of All Spirits has established different organizations according to different types of contract holders. The Spirit Contract Alliance only accepts spirit contract holders, the Beast Contract Alliance only recruits beast contract holders, the Soldier Contract Alliance only recruits military contract holders, and the latest recruitment The Jade Mountain Alliance of Miscellaneous Contractors, there are many benefits to joining these alliances. There is also the Zhixuan Alliance, which only recruits strong people and is composed of absolute human elites.
Zhan Yue played with the red gem left to him by the Goddess of Light, and discovered that his power of 'light' could be transformed into more intense power of fire through this 'gem'. I saw him clenching the gem in his right hand, and then activated his power. The original light fist turned into a fire fist, and he almost set the room on fire with one punch.
"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door, and it was the waiter coming back to cross over.
"Sir, the boxing gloves you requested have been prepared. Please check them." The waiter handed a boxing glove made of orange animal skin to Zhan Yue.
"This glove is made from the skin of the fire raccoon beast. It is not afraid of flames and can be customized exactly according to your requirements." The waiter said with some envy.
"Okay, come on down, you did a good job." After paying the reward, the waiter left happily.
Zhan Yue looked at the glove carefully. The glove has an open-finger design. It is very convenient to expose the fingers after wearing it. There is an inlay in the palm of the glove, and Zhan Yue installed the gem.
"From now on, this thing will be my contract object." Zhan Yue has already thought about how to hide it from the outside world. This gem is his contract object, and his fire ability is also born from this. After all, there is such a thing as a flame gem in this world.
"If the outside world knew that I had the same light ability as the goddess of transparency, I'm afraid it would cause an uproar. No wonder this woman would leave this gem to me. However, she didn't explain anything. Wasn't she afraid that I wouldn't discover the use of this gem? Or do you still have confidence in me?" Zhan Yue was speechless, the goddess of transparency left too hastily. But it's useless for him to worry. Staying here with his humble strength and not holding him back is the greatest help.
"Let's go, first go to the Yushan League branch to register. In terms of gems, I should be considered a miscellaneous contractor. Only those who have registered in this world can be considered as formal contractors, and there are many benefits. Otherwise, I will be ignored by others wherever I go. He is as fearful as a gangster."
Soon after, Zhan Yue arrived at the Yushan League in Rising Sun City and subconsciously walked towards the central door. What greeted him was a young and beautiful woman.
"Hello, are you here to register?" the woman said with a professional smile.
"That's right, I'm here to register the deed, and my deed is a gem." Zhan Yue said truthfully.
The woman's smile froze, "Um, this is the Registration Hall of the Military Contract Alliance. If you are a member of the Military Contract Alliance, please go out and turn left."
In an instant, everyone in the hall looked at Zhan Yue. Some people just thought it was funny, and there was another dumbfounded man. Some people had a sarcastic expression on their faces.
"Boy, don't delay this girl from doing her business. The bastard contracter should go to the room on the left to register." A strong man said. He was holding an ax in his hand. He had just awakened as a contracter. He looked at the exhibition with some displeasure. Joy.
Zhan Yue's expression changed. Did the mixed contract person have any original sin? Is it necessary to be so insulting? The soldiers' condescending attitude and sense of superiority made Zhan Yue unable to complain. He was too lazy to get to know them and went out without looking back. The house on the left is far less domineering than the one in the Military Covenant. The old man who looks after the house is lazily lying on the table and taking a nap.
"Old man, I'll apply for the deed certificate." Zhan Yue said politely.
The old man opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and looked at Zhan Yue curiously, "It's rare for someone with a mixed contract to register in Rising Sun City."
"Um? What happened to Rising Sun City? Isn't it good to register here?" Zhan Yue was confused.
The old man kindly said: "There are hundreds of cities in the Eastern Kingdom, and the number of experts in Rising Sun City is second only to the Imperial Capital and the Academic Capital. There is no chance for those with mixed contracts to get the qualifications to enter the Imperial Academy. If you have some strength, you should find a place at the back. Register in the city and fight for a spot there."
Only then did Zhan Yue understand why the Hall of Contractors, which should have more people, was empty. Those people had gone to other cities to register for a better 'prospect'.
"That's it. Who made me destined to the City of the Rising Sun?" Zhan Yue is not interested in the qualifications of any academy at all. Waiting for the Goddess of Light to come back to teach him in person will not be much more powerful than that of any academy.
The old man's eyes lit up. He was worried that he couldn't find the enemy, but someone came to his door. The task assigned by the Yushan League was finally completed. "This is your own decision. Don't say I didn't remind you."
