Gifts...

A sense of weariness crept into Electrolux's eyes. After a long silence, he finally spoke, asking, "Would you be willing to become my disciple and inherit my mantle?"

"Of course I'd like to!"

Liu Yuan agreed without hesitation.

To put it bluntly,

He had been waiting for this moment for far too long!

He desperately wanted to become Electrolux's apprentice!

"Don't you think about it more, kid?"

Electrolux's lips curled into a smile. But after remembering something, that seemingly normal smile gradually turned into something more like a grimace.

"I have something to tell you, kid. In my lifetime, I committed some unforgivable sins."

A rare hint of melancholy appeared on Electrox's face. "Would you like to hear my story before making a choice?" He even added a "joke" when he got to this point.

"I won't shortchange you on your gift."

Oh?

Liu Yuan was slightly surprised.

Isn't becoming an apprentice a gift?

But after the initial surprise, ripples appeared on the surface of the sea. This was because Liu Yuan's consciousness had entered the sea of ​​consciousness and immediately sat down cross-legged.

He sat up straight and said in a sincere tone:

"Actually, I don't need to listen. If that story has any scars on your body, reopening them would undoubtedly be painful. But if you feel that talking about it will make you feel better right now, then I'm happy to be your listener."

is it?

At that moment, Electrolux felt a slight flutter in his heart.

So, Electrolux then recounted the portion of his recovered memories in a calm tone. Perhaps even he didn't realize that he spoke as if he were an observer.

Liu Yuan realized this.

But there was no hint whatsoever.

By the time Electrolux finished telling his story, his eyes were filled with a sense of desolation. "Do you think I am a deeply sinful man? My past sins are impossible to wash away."

"No, I think you're a good person." Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan shook his head. However, he added at the end, "At least to me."

Ding!

Liu Yuan gave Yi Lao a "good guy" card.

"Elder Yi, you see, since we met, although I have helped you, before I helped you, didn't you also prepare to abandon your remnant soul to save me? Isn't that the act of a good person?"

"Besides..."

At this point, Liu Yuan suddenly changed the subject.

"The sins you speak of were clearly committed by the original self. What does it have to do with your remnant soul? Besides, death absolves all debts. Now that you're dead, these matters should be put to rest."

Electrolux: "..."

Although it sounded a bit like he was being a scoundrel, it has to be said that Liu Yuan's answer not only surprised him, but also warmed his heart and made him feel at ease.

Once he understood this, his previous dejection vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of carefree ease.

"Well said!"

"The true self is the true self, and I am me. The karma of the past should be swept away by the wind with death."

Electrolux's smile was incredibly relaxed at that moment.

"I can't see as clearly as you do."

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

Liu Yuan replied casually, then asked with considerable concern, "Then, how about inheriting your mantle..."

"Hehe." Electrox chuckled, "As long as you don't mind, I'm willing to teach you everything I know."

"No problem, no problem..."

Liu Yuan waved his hand repeatedly.

Perhaps necromancy is indeed not very useful, but in his view, one can apply the same principles to other situations.

Magic is great! I must learn magic!

"Very well! Then I am willing to impart all my knowledge to you."

Seeing this, Electrox began to explain his magic. "I possess two great forms of magic: one is the light magic I possessed before my fall, and the other is the necromancy magic I possessed after my fall. Logically speaking, the light magic is most suitable for you."

"However, during my lifetime, I had already passed on the magic of light. In addition, due to the subsequent fall, it was rejected by the light and its power is no longer what it used to be, and it is only a smattering of its former glory."

"As for necromancy, it is extremely dangerous. It involves toying with the dead and manipulating souls. If one's mind becomes unstable, it is easy to fall into the abyss of evil. In severe cases, one can become a local demon."

Which one do you choose?

Wow—that's interesting!

But only children make choices.

The adults' answer is...

"I want them all!"

"Both?"

Electrolux laughed and cursed.

"You're quite greedy, kid."

"Greed is good." But Liu Yuan wasn't ashamed of it; instead, he smiled, "You get more this way."

"But the risks are also great!"

Electrolux tapped a note.

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."

At this moment, Liu Yuan's decision was not changed by Electrolux's reprimand.

"Elder Yi, I have my own path to walk. I study magic only to enrich my knowledge, so that I can draw inferences and have more options for my future development."

Electrolux stared into Liu Yuan's eyes and could tell that Liu Yuan wasn't joking.

Finally, he nodded slightly.

"It's good that you think that way..."

He reached out and patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder.

"I look forward to your achievements."

"Just you wait, old man." After saying that, Liu Yuan glanced at the remnant soul of Electrolux and pointed at it, saying, "When the time comes, I will rebuild your body."

"Very well, very well!" Whether it was boasting or not, Electrolux felt that Liu Yuan had put his heart into it. "In that case, I should give you the gift."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan eagerly awaited the answer.

The so-called gift,

Could it be the undead demiplane?

Just as he was pondering,

With a wave of his right hand, Electrolux brought Liu Yuan's consciousness back to his body from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of gray energy emerged from behind Liu Yuan's head and re-manifested as Electrox's figure in the room. Then, a slightly ethereal staff about two meters long appeared in his hand.

This staff is made of black, white and gold metals intertwined together. Black represents pure death, gold represents holy light, and white represents the power of summoning.

At the top of the staff is a huge crystal, which is carved into the shape of a skull and is entirely white.

Electrox gripped the staff in his hand. With a gentle wave, golden runes rapidly appeared.

While isolating the noise inside the room,

"boom--"

A large black door suddenly appeared!

This is not the end.

"Squeak—"

The moment the black door opened, a sense of deathly silence and a chilling aura instantly surged out from inside.

Just then, Electrolux's voice rang in Liu Yuan's ears: "Beyond this gate lies the undead demiplane I created. It contains a wide variety of undead creatures, including these—all gifts from me. Go in and take a look..."

With that, he led Liu Yuan inside.
