Lin Nai was dumbfounded. He knew that the Mist God was a rather abstract god, but he never expected that this old man could pull off such an outrageous trick...
The island of the dead was filled with the wailing and howling of ghosts.
The old man was having so much fun that he stood up and kept patting Ten Souls on the shoulder next to him: "Brother Ten Souls, you're not so reserved, come and dance with us!"
"..." Ten Souls said coldly.
Lin Nai finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice: "Cough cough cough..."
The figure turned around, saw Lin Nai, and its eyes lit up: "Oh, Lord White Death is here! You've come at the perfect time, sir! Would you like to join our party?"
Lin Nai: "...No need."
"Hey, Ying, I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
Upon hearing this, Mist God Gaiying said, "Let's talk business... Okay then."
With that, He waved his hand and said, "Let's all rest for a bit. We'll talk after I finish talking with Lord White Death."
It was clear that the ghouls and shadow wolves were exhausted, and upon hearing this, they were almost moved to tears, collapsing to the ground with a sense of relief.
The figure approached Lin Nai, his face crinkling with wrinkles, and said with a smile, "My lord, what important matter do you wish to discuss with this old man?"
Linnaeus paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and was about to speak.
The figure then said, “My lord, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. Just ask if you need anything. As long as you don’t want to borrow my divine power or contract my soul, I will definitely help you with anything else.”
Linnaeus: "..."
"I just want to borrow your divine power." Lin Nai didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and went straight to the point.
"No." The Mist God grinned, answering almost without hesitation. His expression remained kind, and the smile made the wrinkles on his face fold up again.
Linnaeus: "In exchange, you can name your terms, and I can help you fulfill your wish."
The Mist God thought for a moment: "Hmm... but this old man has no wishes."
"......"
Lin Nai suddenly realized that it would be much more difficult to fool this Mist God than when he fooled the Ten Souls.
As Merz said, the gods are proud and will not easily make a pact with humans or sell their souls to others.
The process of capturing the Mist God and bringing him back to the Sea of the Dead was extremely easy; in fact, it was as if the old man had voluntarily surrendered himself.
But this old fox is different from Shi Hun. Shi Hun has a very strong belief. Hundreds of thousands of years of hatred have piled up in his heart, and his lost wife and children are all points that Lin Nai can use.
But this Mist God is different. This old fox is completely unyielding and has no desires at all. Beneath his seemingly kind and gentle smile lies an unfathomable heart.
Linna said discontentedly, "You've been eating and living here in my Sea of the Dead for free, you can't just not pay any rent, can you?"
The Mist God said with a wronged expression, "How can you say I'm eating and staying for free? Look, since I came, the Sea of the Dead has become so lively. It's not like it used to be so lifeless. Look at the inhabitants of the Sea of the Dead behind me, they're all smiling so happily."
"..." Linnai turned around and looked at the ghouls and shadow wolves.
The ghouls and shadow wolves both cast weak, helpless, and pitiful glances at Linna.
“Even Brother Ten Souls, who used to be such a lonely god,” the shadow said, hooking his arm around Ten Souls’ shoulder. “Look at him, isn’t he much more cheerful now?”
Shi Hun remained expressionless, looking disgusted, but as a god with burdens, he couldn't simply push away the senior.
Several veins bulged on Linnaeus's forehead.
Okay, you cunning old fox.
Linnaeus smiled, but in his heart he was already plotting to order all the inhabitants of the Sea of the Dead to isolate this glib old man, so that this ancient god who had lived for tens of millions of years would know what the wickedness of human thoughts was!
Let Him know what it means to be subjected to the cold violence of the dead, to be bullied in prison, let this old thing taste the feeling of dying alone for hundreds of thousands of years...
However, at this moment, the figure changed the subject again, and said with a smile, "Actually, Lord Carlos, if you really want to borrow my divine power, it's not impossible."
Lin Nai raised an eyebrow.
"What are the conditions?" He knew this old guy definitely wouldn't suffer a loss.
"As for the conditions... I haven't thought of them yet." The shadow said with a smile, "It's not too late for you to fulfill them when I've thought of them."
Lin Nai narrowed his eyes; this old man was indeed cunning and shrewd.
First they refused, then they made demands, and they still wouldn't say what they wanted. Tsk tsk, what a tug-of-war!
He had already drawn upon His divine power in advance, so that when He wanted to raise the price later, Linnaeus would have no choice but to accept His terms, even if he didn't want to.
In comparison, Totsuki is definitely more innocent and adorable.
"Lord Carlos, please rest assured, I know what you are worried about." The figure still had that kind, smiling expression: "I will not make any excessive or difficult demands on you."
"How about this... if you're still not comfortable, we'll add another constraint."
"Whatever conditions I propose in the future, they can only be within your capabilities and do not violate your principles. What do you think of that?"
Linnaeus fell silent.
That's more like it.
If the Mist God were to propose any conditions that would greatly displease him, he would have a reason to refuse.
"Deal," Linnaeus said.
Thus, Linna successfully signed a contract with the Mist God, Gaiying.
The contract is for a period of one hundred years.
Linnai tested the abilities of Mist God Gaikage on the spot.
The Mist God, Gaiying, is the god who governs clouds and mist, and can primarily control three colors of mist.
One type is white mist, whose main ability is concealment. It can minimize one's presence and consumes the least amount of soul power to cast white mist.
The second type is red mist, whose main ability is to cause illusions in enemies. The mist also contains toxins, making it a combination of poison and hallucinogenic attack.
The third type is black mist, which is a mist primarily used for killing. It has the highest concentration, the strongest direct destructive power, and can be materialized. It is also the mist that consumes the most soul power.
Lin Nai let out a deep breath.
This would further increase his chances of winning the college freshman competition.
