Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 431. Tell everyone you are going to die. This is the confidence that Romance of the Three Kingdoms brings me.
Damp, dark, and cramped.

Mo Hao silently observed the surrounding environment and the current location of the contract target, and obtained the required information from it.

The walls were covered with moss and mushrooms, and large patches of mold occupied a small half of the wall.

Basically no one would voluntarily come and live in this kind of environment, so it can be determined that the target was imprisoned in this place.

The only question is whether the target is imprisoned voluntarily or is being held here against his will.

No matter which the answer is, it means that the target is in some kind of dilemma at this moment.

When the other party is in trouble, he or she will inevitably be less resistant to external help, even if that help comes with conditions.

Thinking about it this way, Mo Hao felt that the possibility of signing the contract this time had at least a 30% chance of success. This success rate was based on the premise that the other party was extremely resistant to external assistance.

Mo Hao was thinking quickly in his mind. If the target agreed to sign the contract, then he would help the other party out of the predicament.

Then, through the other party, the resources of this world are collected, or the mark of the heavenly book is given to the target, so as to open up a new blue ocean market and source of materials.

Although becoming a sect leader does not have the guidance of a sorcerer, it is just right for Mo Hao's current situation.

What he needs are the coordinates of more worlds so that the Heavenly Book World can develop faster.

The flickering torchlight tore the surrounding darkness into pieces, and the dim light was barely enough to see the road clearly.

Mo Hao had to admit that this environment looked very familiar to him.

"Why does it feel similar to the first time Naruto saw Kurama? Will I encounter a big iron gate next, and there is a big fox behind the iron gate?"

Soon, Mo Hao arrived at the end of the road, with only one door in front of him.

This time, the target was behind the door. Mo Hao could sense the other party's presence, and the other party also sensed Mo Hao's approach.

Because the contract was run by Mo Hao's power, the way it was operated was relatively direct and rough, and he told the other party with almost no disguise, "I have a job here, let's go over and talk."

Like the fairy lord or queen, they can make people mistakenly enter an incredibly beautiful tower and enter the fairy territory.

As for the existence in the void of the outer realm, it is simply to let some talented and extremely crazy apprentices study the forbidden knowledge books until late at night, and their minds will extend beyond the real world to come into contact with it.

He knocked on the door to let the guy behind it know that he had arrived.

After a two-second pause, he did not receive any permission to "come in," but Mo Hao did not need permission and simply pushed the door open and walked in.

Compared with the environment in the dungeon outside, this room is quite good. At least it has a complete set of beds, tables and chairs. It should be used to imprison some people of status.

After seeing the other person, Mo Hao couldn't help but be stunned.

His hair was as white as snow, but it was not the gray color of old age, but a very natural pure white color.

The strange hair color was not surprising. In fact, Mo Hao was mentally prepared and would not be surprised even if he saw the Deep Diver and the Mind Flayer.

With many powers in himself that lean toward the evil side, Mo Hao is very self-aware and knows that anyone who could be found by the sorcerer's contract is probably not a normal person.

But he was not mentally prepared for a girl with white hair and animal ears in ancient costume.

A pair of furry ears hang flat on its head, but the outline of human ears can also be seen below the temple. Because the animal is sitting, it is impossible to see whether there is a tail behind it.

The other party is not human, at least not a pure-blooded human.

The girl in front of him looked about the same age as himself, but considering that she might not be human, it was difficult to accurately calculate her age. "No... I don't know why you broke into this place..."

Her voice was gentle and peaceful, like that of a lady from a noble family, but one could hear a hint of panic that was hard to conceal.

The left hand is hidden under the sleeve, probably holding a small object that can be used as a weapon.

Is it a broken cup? Or a hairpin?

Not knowing, and there was no need to care, Mo Hao simply sat down where he was to avoid bringing greater fear to the other party.

"You are in trouble, and you will die soon. If you count the time, it will only be a few days."

Since the other party was imprisoned here, he was naturally in trouble. As for the subsequent words, they were completely intended to break down the other party's psychological defenses.

Q: If you want to build a good relationship with someone, what should you do when you meet them for the first time?
Answer: Tell the other person that you are dying, and then say you can save them.

This is how the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was performed.

"No, it won't happen! The young master of the Chiyan Lin family coveted the bloodline of my clan and beat my brother to death after drinking. My father went to complain..."

"If complaining is useful, why do you stay here?" Mo Hao tilted his head and asked, "Is it because the environment here is good and especially suitable for studying?"

"Besides, since your father went to file a complaint and you are still locked up here, it shows that those people don't care about filing a complaint at all."

Mo Hao's calm voice without any emotion sounded again, piercing the other party's defense like a sharp blade, "And since they don't care about your father's behavior, will they let your father have an 'accident' on the way?"

Although the truth of the matter was unclear, what Mo Hao said was not all nonsense. Since the other person's father went to complain to someone, and the so-called Chiyan Lin family locked him up in the dungeon, it already explained one thing.

At the same time, Mo Hao observed the clothes of the person in front of him. There were no large areas of dirt and wrinkles, and his appearance was delicate and pleasant. It seemed that he had just been imprisoned not long ago.

Red marks can still be seen on the wrists. The Lin family must have been very rude when he was escorted in.

Combined with what I said before...

"And most importantly, since the young master of the Chiyanlin family covets your family's bloodline, your father is not around, and you have been locked up."

"How much Qin Huai Feng Yue do you think you will be fed before your father comes back?"

Although he wanted to use more appropriate words like [filled puffs] and [how many kinds of fillings], considering the other party's clothes and the words used, this place is most likely not a very open social environment, so Mo Hao changed to a more elegant way of saying it.

Fear, anger, despair...

In just a few breaths, Mo Hao saw the transition of three emotions. He estimated that the sentence "Qinhuai Fengyue" just now almost made people feel sad.

"Senior please save me!"

After laying so much groundwork and waiting for so long, Mo Hao was waiting for just these words.

"I can save you, but you have to think carefully. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."

Out of the most basic morality and the upcoming cooperation, Mo Hao did not rush to sign the contract, but gave a reminder.

"If you rely on the Chiyan Lin family, you may still be a young lady, and you may also be rich in the future. But if you seek help from me, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
