Pagliu snorted coldly: "The strong are respected. I spared your lives. As a price, you become my servant. It's such a simple thing, there is nothing to talk about."
Chen Rui shook his head calmly: "Our fates are already connected. If you kill us, you will force yourself into a desperate situation. Therefore, between us, it is an equal relationship of transaction and cooperation. There can be no master-servant distinction. We will prosper together and suffer together."
Pagliu said disapprovingly: "I only know that your lives are in my hands. It is a great kindness to give you a way out. "Stop talking nonsense, Lord Pagliu will eat you all now!" Chen Rui stared at Pagliu for a while, and his voice suddenly became ups and downs: "What's the joy of life, what's the fear of death! Since I accidentally fell into the demon world, I have already given up. Although I am a weak human, I am also a real man. I will never give up my remaining dignity for the sake of survival!" Athena's eyes suddenly lit up. The more at the critical moment of life and death, the more you can see a person's quality. The thin back of the human seemed to become taller. This is the real courage! If it were Allen or Joseph of the Alvin family, I'm afraid they would have been scared to their knees. As the saying goes, you can see the peaks from the side. In Pagliu's view, this human is clearly a rogue attitude-I'm unlucky to fall into the demon world and may die at any time. Anyway, I'm a rotten life, so I'll fight you today. Chen Rui has experience in running an online store. There are some people on the Internet who give the worst reviews to online stores in order to extort money. They are called professional bad reviewers. Sellers, especially sellers of new stores, are vulnerable in this situation. Chen Rui has encountered several such guys. After dealing with them, he lost money and gained a lot of experience.
He saw that Pagliu was afraid of both ends and wanted to use him to get out of trouble, so he deliberately put on an attitude of not being afraid of wet shoes and turned the weak position around. If he hadn't seen the situation clearly, even if Chen Rui had ten thousand courage, he would not dare to risk his life.
As expected, the poisonous dragon did not attack, but frowned. Chen Rui took the opportunity to add: "I, Chen Rui, swear by the dignity of the human beings in this world that I really want to help the poisonous dragon Pagliu to remove the seal. If you violate it, you must be crushed to pieces and your soul will dissipate."
Pagliu was surprised to hear such a heavy oath, but he didn't know that the title in the first sentence was very watery. Chen Rui was not a human being in this world. To put it bluntly, he was blackmailing people, no, blackmailing the dragon.
"Pagliu, I am willing to help you remove the seal, but I not only want to survive, but also hope to get your friendship and help. To show my sincerity, I can tell you the biggest secret of my fearlessness of poison."
If the previous negotiation was to give a sweet date after a stick, now it is to give a golden wound medicine after the sweet date.
The poisonous dragon stared at Chen Rui for a moment, and finally nodded: "Human, your eloquence is far better than your strength. If you can really show sincerity, Pagliu can consider signing an equal contract with you."
Seeing Chen Rui jump from an absolute disadvantage to an equal position, Athena felt incredible, this is facing a giant dragon!
Intelligent and brave, is the only compliment she can think of to describe this human. Chen Rui didn't know that he had unintentionally established a tall image in Athena's heart, and his favorability was enough to look down on General Allen at the city gate.
Chen Rui's "sincerity" is nothing more than repeating the story of the grandmaster and the prehistoric world, adjusting some small details, and the structure is more full and mature than the temporary patchwork at the beginning. The poisonous dragon is obviously more difficult to fool than Aldass, and he has been silent all the time, but Athena is fascinated by it.
In order to further gain the trust of the poisonous dragon, Chen Rui contributed a set of novel things.
Draw three rows of grids on the mud, 33 in total, press a hole in each grid except the center, and then pick up some stones as chess pieces and put them in the holes.
Du Long looked at this thing in surprise, thinking that he had never seen such a thing in his thousands of years of experience. Chen Rui used the grandmaster's alchemical deduction tool as a cover to explain the gameplay of this independent diamond chess.
It is said that this game was invented by a nobleman who was imprisoned in the Bastille before the French Revolution, and soon became popular everywhere. The gameplay is similar to checkers, played by one person, and the skipped chess pieces are moved off the chessboard. The game continues like this. The fewer the steps, the better the remaining chess pieces. According to the number and position of the remaining chess pieces, it is divided into 6 levels, the highest of which is the grandmaster level customized by Chen Rui.
Independent diamond chess, Huarongdao and magic cube are known as the three incredible miracles in the intellectual game world. Athena was not very interested in this kind of thing that was too troublesome, but the scheming Du Long was different. He immediately became interested. If it weren't for the equal contract, he would have been eager to try it.
"I don't want a third person to hear what I say next. Woman, don't try to do stupid things like running away." Du Long glanced at Athena. Chen Rui winked at Athena, and Athena nodded, came to Alice and Jia and sat down.
Du Long used a soundproofing method, and then asked seriously: "I, Du Long, Pagliu Sandro Archilcas. Human, tell me your name."
From the fact that Pagliu solemnly said his full name, his attitude had changed greatly. In fact, Du Long was also in a dilemma. These people were not easy to kill, nor could they be released. If humans really have a mysterious and powerful inheritance, they might be able to lift the seal.
"My name is Chen Rui." Chen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he truly complete this difficult public relations task.
"Chen Rui, you have successfully won Pagliu's trust," said the poisonous dragon, "There are some things that I can only tell you after we complete the equal contract. I have thought it through and want to sign a symbiotic contract with you. That is to say, our lives are connected. If you abandon my friendship and trust one day, then your own life will also be lost."
The suggestion of the symbiotic contract was beyond Chen Rui's expectations. His mind turned quickly and he shook his head and said, "I don't have the ambition to be a dragon slayer, but since it is a symbiotic contract, if I have an accident or die of old age, you will also die?"
"An important feature of the symbiotic contract is sharing life," Pagliu explained, "The fertility of the dragon race is extremely low, but the lifespan is very long, some can reach hundreds of thousands of years. I am now 14,000 years old, which is equivalent to the young and middle-aged of you humans. After you sign a symbiotic contract with me, you will share my life, so there is no problem of dying of old age for the time being. In addition to this, your physique can also get certain benefits in some aspects."
Share life! Chen Rui was shocked. In Chinese history, there were countless emperors and nobles who racked their brains to prolong their lives and achieve immortality, but none of them succeeded. However, he could easily obtain a precious life of tens of thousands of years!
Even the royal family of the demon world, if nothing unexpected happens, generally has a lifespan of one or two thousand years, and ordinary demons have a lifespan of hundreds of years. As for humans in this world, it is even shorter. Unless they are strong to a certain level, they cannot be compared at all.
"If it is an accidental death, then there is no way. Just like what you said at the beginning, we all prosper together and we all suffer together." Pagliu shook his head. "Whether one of us encounters an accidental death, the other party will find it difficult to avoid it. To tell you the truth, my power is damaged and I can only sign a contract with one person. In order to keep the secret of the ancient runes, I originally wanted to kill you and let the sickle demon be my servant. However, your wisdom and potential made me change my mind. It can also be said that your trick succeeded."
What a close call! Chen Rui wiped his sweat. It turned out that he had just walked through the gates of hell.
Poison Dragon This is the safest way. The lives of the two have been connected together, with coexisting interests and risks, so Chen Rui is even less likely to ignore the issue of the seal. Being able to keep Poison Dragon alive better is also a guarantee of his longevity.
"I need to remind you that you take a greater risk than me. As a weak human, I will encounter quite a lot of dangers in the demon world," Chen Rui thought for a moment and said, "If you have learned this and still insist on signing a symbiotic contract, I agree."
Poison Dragon nodded and smiled meaningfully, "Then let's just believe in the power of inheritance of that god-level grandmaster."
Chen Rui also smiled. YY is YY, it is impossible to be like some novels, where the protagonist is intelligent and the rest are mentally retarded. Those who treat others as fools are the biggest fools themselves.
Although I don't know how much Pagliu believes in that mysterious story, it is certain that this powerful poison dragon has become his first real ally since his rebirth.
The feeling of signing the contract is very strange, just like signing a contract with the other party in spirit, but this contract is automatically effective and supervised by some mysterious "law". Unless you reach the god level, you can't reverse or change the power of the law.
Chen Rui, who successfully signed the symbiotic contract, clearly felt a strange change in himself, as if his energy had been greatly expanded, but Pagliu did not have any abnormal symptoms such as weakness.
"Chen Rui, now you and I are symbiotic partners, and the connection is closer than that of brothers and sisters." Pagliu signed the contract and stopped being polite. "I want to figure out one thing first. Is that sickle demon woman your woman? That woman is a big demon race with mutant blood. She has great potential and may reach the level of demon king in the future."
"No, we are not even friends, but I can't offend her." Chen Rui shook his head. Athena is a beautiful woman, but this joke is not allowed. The tragedy of Kong Mingsuo is there.
The poisonous dragon smiled meaningfully, "Then I suggest you get her. The female great devil is the most loyal woman in the demon clan. As long as you can truly get her body and mind, she will follow you wholeheartedly and will never betray you. Unless you die, she will never fall in love with a second man. If not, our secret cannot be protected." Chen Rui only then knew that Athena's race actually had such characteristics, but the difficulty coefficient of this task was too high.
