Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 40 Qualifications for becoming a king

Chapter 40 Qualifications for becoming a king (two in one)

The Silver Spirit's ethnic habitat is located on the outskirts of the Cangting Duke's capital, in a valley deep in the mountains.

A long mithril vein runs through the entire valley, and a small half of the vein is exposed on the surface.

Therefore, when Char passed through the warning magic circle set up by the Brunstadt family on the outside and came to the valley——

With his emanating spiritual power, he sensed the extremely rich free metal elements filling the atmosphere.

This is also the favorite habitat of the metal element race, the Silver Spirit.

"If this entire mithril vein is used as a "space pocket", I'm afraid Xiao Ai and I won't have to worry about extraordinary resources until the sixth ring..."

Xia Ya pursed her lips and carefully put away the bold idea in her heart.

Not to mention whether Shining's space pocket can hold such an entire mithril vein, the high-level warning magic circles are not just decorations.

If he really wants to do this, I'm afraid the entire Brunstadt family will have to fight for him.

However, if one day I complete the novice tasks, I might be able to catch up with a big one...

Anyway, the ancient Cangting Kingdom will be destroyed in the future, and it seems that there is no use in keeping this mine. It is better to take advantage of me, the last descendant of the Brunstadt family.

Xia retracted his messy thoughts, and then he continued to expand and expand his spiritual perception.

It didn't take long for Xia Ya to notice the mental fluctuations of several other life forms in his mental perception.

There was no hostility in those mental fluctuations, just a little curiosity.

Xia Ya walked in the direction of spiritual perception, and soon saw several small silver spirits with hazy light spots lingering around their bodies, looking in his direction.

Compared with the quasi-king silver spirits who previously tested the elders, the silver spirits in front of Xia Ya were much smaller in size and momentum. At first glance, they were still in their infancy or growth stage.

Different from the majestic and domineering appearance of the former, these young silver spirits are more refined and delicate.

The two sides are separated by a distance of more than ten meters, and they perceive each other through spiritual perception.

This is Xia Ya's consideration for the choice of his third soul pact pet.

At the same time, it is also the consideration of these silver spirits for their future beast masters.

On the Western Continent, the relationship between beast masters and pet beasts is complicated.

Humans and some humanoid races can cultivate spiritual power, open up the soul covenant space, and become beast masters.

The pet beast can enjoy various benefits of the soul contract space through the contract with the beast master.

Generally speaking, the contract between the pet beast and the master is a mutually beneficial process.

Beastmasters can rely on pet beasts to gain extraordinary power and strengthen themselves.

The pet beasts can accelerate their originally long growth period through contracts. At the same time, when seriously injured, they can also recover and heal in the soul contract space and enjoy the extraordinary material supply of the beast master.

Generally speaking, the strength and progress of pet beasts that have signed a contract are much stronger than their wild counterparts of the same age.

However, since this is a common situation, there are naturally exceptions.

Of course, there are many people in the human race who will do whatever it takes to force their pets to make contracts with themselves...

Among the wild beasts, there is naturally no shortage of beast masters who are hostile to the beast masters. They even rely on their strength to directly use the beast master's soul covenant as a tool to establish the lost beast king of the kingdom of disorder.

Of course, as the guardian race of the Brunstadt family, the Silver Spirit will not reject contracts with members of the Brunstadt family...

But signing an equal contract is like a marriage. The quality of the contract partner will directly determine the development of the rest of life, so the selection process cannot be said to be careless.

The mental contact between the two parties lasted for a moment.

Soon, friendly mood swings were transmitted to the mental perception.

This shows that those young silver spirits have recognized Xia Ya and are willing to make a contract with him.

As elemental beings who are naturally close to nature, Silver Spirits have sharper perceptions than humans.

Therefore, they could easily sense that the soul strength of the black-haired boy in front of them was far deeper and hotter than those of the beast masters who had come before.

In other words, in front of Char, those outstanding people who were originally carefully selected by the Brunstadt family turned into rookies in an instant.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Whether it is a pet beast or a beast master, who doesn't want his contract partner to be as strong as possible?

After all, this world is realistic and money-worshiping, and to the pet beasts, Char as a beast master can be said to be pure, rich and handsome.

On the other side, Xia Ya is also choosing his contract partner.

In his mind, blue information was fluctuating, showing the specific attribute panels of the silver spirits in front of him.

[Race name: Silver Spirit "Silver Armor Evolution"]

[Category: Elemental Species]

[Attribute: Metal]

[Stage: Growth Stage]

[Soul covenant status: None]

[Combat Level: 26 (Level )]

[Racial Level: High King (Level 4)]

[Skills of pet beasts: Elementalization (Mastery), High-speed Healing (Mastery), Slashing (Proficiency), Elemental Wave (Proficiency), Metal Strengthening (Proficiency), Super Hardening (Proficiency)]

A very excellent attribute panel, in line with the racial level of a high-level king, and it has already reached the combat level of the late extraordinary level in just the growth stage.

As for the pet's skills... Needless to say, "Elementalization" and "High-speed Healing" are the subordinate skills of "Super-Speed Regeneration".

Slashing and elemental fluctuation are standard damage skills in the fields of magic and physics respectively. Their status is roughly similar to the "fireball" skill of the wizard in traditional Western fantasy novels. It is nothing special, but everyone can do it.

The next two high-level skills "Metal Strengthening" and "Super Hardening" represent that the silver spirit in front of you will be more focused on physical combat. Both of these skills are used in close combat. Big killer.

All in all, this is a very standard front-line fighter, which can be called a quality inspector on the confrontation road. It just meets Char's requirements for the third soul contract to complete the frontal combat capability.

However - it still feels a bit too standard.

It's not weak, but it doesn't have any special features. It always feels like it doesn't match my unique style of pet beasts.

When the time comes for a group fight, the little ferret puts on a robe with a black background embroidered with red clouds, and Shining puts on a robe with the fourth generation of gods tattooed on it. The new pet beast doesn't even know what to wear.

Xia Ya silently put the silver spirit in front of him on his spare list, and then looked at the other silver spirits.

"Growth stage, level 28, specialization in spellcasting... has the same high-level damage skill "Silver Meteor" as the quasi-king Silver Spirit of the assessment elder. "

"It's okay, but it doesn't meet my requirements for the third soul contract. If it's just a pure spell turret, its location would basically overlap with Silver."

……

"Infancy stage, level 19, specialization in the perception system, high-level passive skill "Omen", can get premonitions from the star realm from time to time, the content of the omen is random, in other words, whether it is good or bad depends entirely on the face..."

"If I were really a European emperor, I might choose it. Maybe I could pick up some sixth- or seventh-level extraordinary materials through omens, and achieve financial freedom overnight."

"It's a pity that no matter how many times I try to read myself, I still know clearly in my heart that I am a non-chief..."

Xia Ya silently shed African tears in her heart and passed the option in front of her.

He went down the valley and saw many silver spirits in their infancy or growth stages, suitable for contracts.

But overall, there was nothing that particularly surprised or dazzled Xia. "It seems that the most suitable one for me is the Silver Spirit from the beginning."

“I just don’t know if I would be rejected because I used it as a spare tire if I went back to look for it.”

Just when Xia Ya stretched himself and walked down the valley, he was about to go back and find the silver spirit contract from the beginning.

His eyes suddenly paused slightly.

Only a faint clanking sound was heard from the hillside not far away.

Xia Ya went down the hillside and came to a dense forest.

In the open space in front of him, there was a petite silver spirit waving something at a huge piece of metal ore.

The sharp blade collided with the hard black iron ore, making a clanging sound like gold and iron clashing, and sparks flying everywhere.

When Xia stood still at the foot of the hillside, he realized that the little silver spirit in front of him was different from the other silver spirits he had seen before.

Obviously, there is no permanent disability for elemental beings. It only takes time and replenishing energy to repair the injury... But the left arm of this little silver spirit is empty for some reason.

There was a dim yellow light lingering in the incomplete area, and it seemed that some kind of dirty and inexplicable power had eroded into the wound on its left shoulder, preventing the regeneration of the silver element in it.

But the most concerning thing is the body of this little silver spirit.

Obviously all the Silver Spirit races have pure and beautiful bodies of bright silver... But the whole body of this little Silver Spirit was infected with a red color that looked like blood.

Even the silver sword on its right arm, which was made of flowing metal, was penetrated by vermilion blood, and every time it swung the sword, it brought out a red light.

Compared with its kin who are the darlings of nature and elements, the appearance of the little red silver spirit in front of it is no longer so pure and flawless, but instead has a trace of filthy evil.

In Xia Ya's mind, lines of information that were completely different from before emerged.

[Race name: Silver Spirit "Twilight Corrosion State"]

[Category: Abyssal species, polluted species]

[Attributes: metal, darkness, sword]

[Stage: infancy]

[Soul covenant status: None]

[Combat Level: 7 (First Level)]

[Racial Level: High King (Level 4)]

[Pet beast skills: Filthy Blood (entry level), Darkness (entry level), Slash (otherworldly), Sword Bone (mastery), Burning Blood (mastery), Overlord's Heart (entry level)]

The Silver Spirit has a combat level of only level seven.

With the racial identity of the Silver Spirit High King, even a newly born Silver Spirit will usually have at least an awakening level combat level. The little Silver Spirit in front of him can be called an alternative among the alternative.

This means that the so-called "Twilight Erosion State" is obviously not a good mutation direction, and that filthy atmosphere greatly limits the growth of this red and silver spirit.

What made Char secretly frightened even more was the word "otherworldly" proficiency written behind the skill "Slash".

This was the first time that Char found a skill in a wild, ownerless beast that went beyond "perfection" and reached "otherworldly" proficiency.

Although it is only a low-level "slash" that can be upgraded relatively easily...but to reach this level, it requires unimaginable training.

In order to help Yin develop Tsukuyomi, Xia Ya spent five years just to improve Yin's "Charm" skill to perfection. Even so, the final breakthrough still relied on the help of the system. Completed.

What's more... it was an achievement achieved entirely by one's own perseverance without the supervision and assistance of a beastmaster, let alone the assistance of extraordinary materials.

The little crimson silver spirit did not notice Char's arrival.

It just continued to swing its sword towards the huge piece of metal ore, and among the flying sparks, a clear slash slowly emerged.

This is not a whim, but a habit day after day, year after year.

Only in this way can the most common and often overlooked "slash" be raised to such a high level.

"interesting."

Xia Ya's eyes fell on this little silver spirit wielding a sword.

He did not disturb the other party, but just continued to check the skill panel of this little silver spirit.
