Doris was very depressed. To Mu Hua, she seemed to have no value except for laying eggs.
The cursed spirit is very fragile during its growth stage, so it needs to rely on a strong person.
Those strong men who protect the cursed spirits need the cursed spirits to strengthen their souls, but since they catalyze the souls of others all day long, they naturally have no time for their own cultivation.
Therefore, the cursed spirit also needs to discuss with the person it depends on and appropriately adjust the time it takes to help the other person temper their soul. If it chooses the wrong master, the cursed spirit's life will basically be ruined.
Unlike Tuesday, Doris was more cautious in choosing her dependents. She did not become someone else's dependent, but used her own abilities to hang on to those dependents. Every time she chose a dependent, her standard was the kind of existence that could be relatively equal and mutually beneficial.
Ever since her first possessor was killed by other demons, Doris not only helped the possessor to strengthen his soul, but also tried to cultivate some self-protection abilities.
In order to play to her own strengths, Doris specialized in curses, but unfortunately her curses were only at a high level, and in terms of head-on confrontations, she was actually not very good at fighting.
Now, not only can she help people temper their souls and absorb pleasure, she has finally mastered the distribution of death. These are abilities that are enough to make the Cursed Spirit arrogant and unrestrained in front of other creatures.
But Mu Hua has cursed spirits that are more advanced than hers. They can do everything she can, but their root is still the big devil.
The soul of the Rante demon is very delicate. It is a demon that is good at making potions, but she saw with her own eyes that Mu Hua caught a bunch of vampires and drew blood from them one by one, and then rubbed his chin to make a bunch of life potions.
Fuck! Aren't potions made by rubbing one bottle at a time? This is a magic potion, it requires measurement, and the injection of magic power and soul needs to be adjusted at any time. It's not saline solution, right! ?
Obviously, her potion making skills didn't get any extra points from Mu Hua.
Doris didn't want to become the egg-laying machine in Mu Hua's plan. Although laying eggs was comfortable, it was hard for her to accept having her hands and feet cut off and being kept in captivity.
She was a ghost from long ago. She had lived for a long time and had some private collections. She took out a large amount of ashes and soul fragments, and even a treasured dragon's blood, trying to exchange for a servant contract from Mu Hua.
Well, Doris refined a lot of ashes and soul fragments herself. These were refined because she didn’t want to waste materials when extracting soul dust, but she couldn’t generate undead. As for soul dust, she used it up to refine potions...
Doris has attached herself to many powerful people. Although most of them are dead, her contribution of private collections combined with her tempting abilities have made her successful in finding people to attach herself to.
Unfortunately, this damn human named Mu Hua is a stubborn person. As for the contract, he only needs a slavery contract. He can either accept the slavery or be tied up to lay eggs. He has no other choice.
This human passed on the power of self-healing to her, and told her that he could help her elevate her self-healing to the level of regeneration, allowing her demon form to regain her limbs.
This human took out a large number of Philosopher's Stones, claiming that he wanted to try to turn his dog into Cerberus.
To be honest, she really did not covet the Philosopher's Stone of mankind. She had already evolved to the highest level. She had neither extra blood nor the obsession to break through the shackles of growth.
But with so many Philosopher's Stones and being good at making potions, it shouldn't be too difficult for this human to obtain the warping potion.
With the warp potion, this human won't die too soon.
He is rich, long-lived, and has the potential to grow. Most importantly, there is a "Death" next to him, and this human's disregard for her is not fake.
Our thoughts, mentality, and even our life and death are of no concern to this human being. We are strangled to death by this human being.
In that case, how about kowtow to him?
Look, the higher-level demons have all been knocked down, so if we just give way, it won’t be considered as losing magic if we kneel down, right?
Then, Doris kowtowed to Mu Hua.
Unable to get the title of Thursday, Mu Hua called her Doris when there were no outsiders around, and called her Tuesday when there were outsiders around.
The main tasks are to lay eggs, scratch, and come out to fill the tank for Tuesday when necessary...
Doris' biggest wish now is that the "Real Tuesday" dies quickly.
Why don't you just stay quietly and scratch your master's body when you have nothing to do? Why are you hanging out there?
Die quickly. As long as Tuesday dies, she will probably be able to turn over and sing. She will be the only "death" around her master.
Sooner or later she will replace Tuesday, so we have to stick with the name Tuesday!
Doris secretly encouraged herself in her heart.
However, when Mu Hua introduced Doris to everyone, Tuesday, who had just finished touring the academy and flew back to Mu Hua, was also very satisfied with Doris's size and length. This was the substitute that Mu Hua had found for her to take the blame.
If there is a "force majeure" in the future that forces Mu Hua to surrender his "death", Doris will be pushed out to self-destruct...
Well, this was the task assigned to Doris after she became Mu Hua's follower. She never expected that someone would actually want her follower to "die" and self-destruct. Doris' biggest wish now is that the "True Tuesday" would die quickly.
. . . . . .
Springer Branch.
Mu Hua explained Doris's identity and the abilities of the withering curse to the "town bosses" who were not dead yet. "Athena is still alive, can you help her gain psychic powers?" Mu Hua only said that Doris could grant pleasure, and did not mention the death gathering. Selma thought of her daughter, and she was more willing to become Athena's guardian spirit.
"It's not possible to enslave demons, but we can probably try to find some demons and sign a servant contract with them." Mu Hua pondered and nodded.
"Servant Contract..." Selma hesitated.
"Don't worry, there is a loophole in the contract. We can kill them after signing the contract. But we need to try. I'm not sure it will work for now." Mu Hua said.
The little demons imprisoned on the Abyss Island refused to accept slavery, but some of the little demons who were assigned by him to supervise were eager for Mu Hua to give them a servant contract.
Those little demons were not abused much, and their job was to prevent other little demons from committing suicide.
Mu Hua plans to use the Philosopher's Stone to evolve them. It doesn't take many Philosopher's Stones to evolve a lower-level demon, and a lower-level demon can enable people to gain psychic physique.
Just ask them to help monitor those who have signed servant contracts with them. I think they should be very happy to do so. If they don't sign, just kill them. They will be killed anyway, so they can be used to refine and recover skill stones.
Try getting some more little demons. It's just a servant contract, so there should always be some demons that hope for a lucky break.
Mu Hua didn't plan to get more for the time being, he just wanted to help the familiar people in the town. What's more, many of these people had lost their entire families.
"What about us? We'll listen to you and be loyal to you?" Old Morey said after Selma. He was the type whose whole family would be left in the cold.
"It seems that I will be awarded a noble title. Do you think it is unfair for me to ask you to be loyal to me?" Mu Hua said to Old Morey unhappily. The loyalty they were talking about had nothing to do with the devil's contract. It was just normal loyalty between people.
“In short, it’s up to you all. You all have the potential to become Faceless Men. If you want to evolve to a higher level, you should at least express your stance, even if you don’t have to sign a contract. That way, I can allocate resources to you in the future.”
"But now you are all undead. If you want to maintain your previous life, you have to defend this town. I think everyone has no objection to standing on my side?" Mu Hua said seriously.
Opinions? What opinions could they have? Everyone had turned into ghosts. Not to mention their daily lives, if they didn’t want to be caught and killed, they also needed Mu Hua’s protection. Although the ghosts were conflicted, no one objected.
"Hehe~~Hehehe~~" A strange laugh was heard, and Pete huddled among a group of ghosts and laughed strangely.
"Mu, you know, today was supposed to be the day when Hobert became the mayor." Old Morey glared at Pete hatefully and said to Mu Hua with some frustration.
"Well, I know, it's all Bobber's fault! Pete, I'll kill you if you do anything bad again." Mu Hua nodded. The mayor, who was once a good person, has now become a ghost who depends on him. He deserves sympathy.
After Mu Hua scolded, Pete didn't dare to continue doing evil. Not to mention killing him, most of the people around Mu Hua could eat ghosts, including Mu Hua himself.
Speaking of which, if Mu Hua ate all the ghosts in Kanes City, he would definitely be able to improve his spiritual attributes.
"So what should we do now? What about my farm?" Ivan asked dejectedly.
"Each of you take some skeleton wizards with you and subdue some ghosts first. Now I need you to manage the ghosts in Cairns City and register them. If you encounter a crazy and disobedient one, just kill it directly."
"Let the Skeleton Mage hold the fort, and let the Ghost do the killing."
"As for everyone's property, that's a matter of after we save the town."
"Now that most people in this town are dead, we must show outsiders that even if we become ghosts, we can still maintain the stability and normal order of this town."
"Only in this way can the Empire accept you and recognize your new identity. Your home, your property, our daily life."
"Everyone remember, what we are doing now is to protect our own home." Mu Hua said to old Morey and his ghosts.
At first, when the ghosts heard Mu Hua say he wanted to kill the ghosts, they were obviously resistant, rebellious, and even uneasy.
But with Mu Hua's explanation, all the ghosts realized that if they could not control Kanes' ghost, if they could not highlight their existence, then they would most likely become wandering ghosts.
After all, the imperial law has clauses about demons, clauses about monsters, and even clauses about liches, but there are no clauses about ghosts.
The ghosts gradually became colder and colder. No matter whether Mu Hua was explaining or inciting them, one thing was right: they had to make the imperial government accept their current form of existence. It was time for them to protect their homes!
As for Mu Hua, including the new city area, there are probably tens of thousands of ghosts in the entire city of Cairns. It is impossible for all these ghosts to honestly accept the fact of their own death.
They are all dead now, and Mu Hua doesn't expect them to be reasonable. In order to avoid unpredictable adverse effects, he must make them settle down as soon as possible.
It is better to let ghosts kill ghosts than for them to do it themselves. Even if there are criticisms from the outside world, it is too much for you to meddle in other people's ghost fights. If you really want to argue, go and talk to the ghosts who are fighting... (End of this chapter)
