An hour later.

Joshua came to the dining hall of the castle and sat at a long table filled with all kinds of food.

It's hard to imagine that there are so many fresh ingredients in this castle mainly inhabited by undead creatures.

Joshua poked the barbecue in front of him with a fork, and felt that there were a few maggots crawling inside. After all, the zombie servant standing beside Joshua was covered with rotten meat.

Shirley, who was sitting next to Joshua, was not so particular. She had just lost too many calories and needed to replenish them quickly, so she ate the delicious food on the table very unceremoniously.

Your Highness, I offer you a toast.

Skeleton Lord raised the goblet in his hand, and the crystal clear liquid in it swayed like blood. Of course, this thing was red wine. After Skeleton Lord drank it down, Qiao Xiu watched the red wine in his mouth leak out from his jawbone , and dripped onto the dining table.

Can a skeleton drink really taste anything?

My lord, please speak up if you have anything to say.

Qiao Xiu saw the purpose of Mr. Bones. It was definitely not because of his status that he entertained him with such a big banquet.

Then I'll be blunt, Your Highness... I hope to get the score of the piece of music you just played.

Mr. Bones put down the glass, and the fire of soul in his pupils moved, his tone was not as calm as before, and the intention of longing was very obvious.

Yes, but... there are conditions.

Joshua originally came with this bargaining chip. From the memory of the third prince, the Duke himself had a weird obsession with music. It was rumored that he wanted to get an ancient score from a human mouth. He even helped that human destroy a small country.

Not to mention creatures like liches, whether there is such an evil method of peeping into other people's memories through the soul, just from this rumor, we can know that the skeleton is obsessed with music.

He doesn't have the inspiration cells to create music himself, what kind of cells come from the skeleton.

And this time, Qiao Xiu knew that the reason why Mr. Bones was so obsessed with music was because of that weird piano!

If I'm not mistaken, the Duke can't taste any wine at all, right?

Joshua glanced at the red wine dripping on the table. Drinking like this really doesn't taste any taste. Skeletons have no taste buds, no sense of touch, and no sense of hearing.

The means by which Mr. Bones can perceive the outside world is the soul fire dancing in the eye sockets, which are both his eyes and his ears.

Did you see it, Your Highness? That's right, I have indeed obtained unparalleled power since I became a lich for hundreds of years, but I almost forgot even the taste of my most beloved red wine.

Mr. Bones poured another glass of wine into his empty wine glass. He looked at the swaying liquid in the glass. If he had any shame on his face now, he would definitely show a very self-deprecating smile.

Only that piano... my old friend can remind me of the feeling of being a human being. Even the coldness frozen by frost and snow is much more beautiful than this skeletal body without touch!

After speaking, Mr. Bones put the wine glass back on the table, and Soul Fire looked at Qiao Xiu again.

And that song you just played! Makes me feel the sunshine again! God...I almost forgot what it's like to sit in the sun, it's so beautiful...

After talking about this, Mr. Bones leaned back on the chair a little tiredly.

Power is indeed intoxicating. By sacrificing his own life, he obtained supreme power... At the beginning, he was really fascinated by the incomparable power and the pleasure of manipulating life and death. .

But when the freshness brought by the power is over, what can Gong Gu feel?

This powerful body won't feel tired, so he can't enjoy the comfort brought by sleep, and this body won't be hurt by the heat, so he can no longer feel the warm sunshine.

Having lost his tongue, he almost forgot the delicious taste of roasted meat.

If it weren't for the piano, through the soul, he could continue to find some human perception in the performance, he might have gone crazy because of this body!

It can be said that when Mr. Bones had everything, he also lost everything.

Your Highness, tell me... My little soul tricks are useless to you Chaos Demons, so I accept your deal. What do I need to pay to get the score of that song?

This time, Lord Skeleton is eager to play the Canon that Joshua just played.

He was so eager to feel the warmth of the sun again.

Nothing needs to be paid.

Qiao Xiu shook his head. There are many things that the bone bone can give to Qiao Xiu, such as treasures, money, and powerful servants of the dead, but these are too short-term! Joshua is much greedier than he imagined...

I hope you can submit to me!

Qiao Xiu said this sentence word by word in a very serious and sincere tone.

Mr. Bones was silent for a few seconds listening to Qiao Xiu's words, and then he let out a piercing laugh.

I heard that the third prince gave up the fight for the right of inheritance. I thought you were not interested in such things as rights, but I didn't expect that you were just hiding the truth.

Duke Skeleton quickly misinterpreted Qiao Xiu's thoughts. At this time, he came all the way to recruit him. No matter what he thought, it was to prepare for the battle for imperial power two years later. With the help of him, one of the four Dukes, No matter how useless the third prince is, he still has the power to compete.

No, I'm really not interested in the throne. Governing the country is too troublesome. I am not recruiting you as 'one of the four dukes' or 'Lord of the Lich', but as a 'player' and The identity of a 'musician'. Qiao Xiu said.

Player? The skeleton man is indeed full of interest in music, because music can make him truly feel that he is still alive.

That's right, my lord, are you just content to play alone in such a deserted place? Your performance is really outstanding and shouldn't be buried here! More people should hear your performance, thousands Tens of thousands of people are in one theater. Qiao Xiu said.

This is also the treatment that I know the scores should receive. Believe me, I have works of countless music masters from various countries in my hands. These works should not be decayed in this kind of place. They should be heard by more people! And I think they It is a suitable choice to step onto the world stage under your performance, Mr. Duke.

There are a lot of classic music on earth. In order to spread it in this world, Joshua needs an excellent musician who is proficient in various musical instruments. Isn't the skeleton man in front of him the best candidate?

You mean... there is not only one piece of music score of that level just now? This time it was the turn of the bone bone to be surprised.

More than that, this is the work of music masters from another country, far away.

To describe the earth, Qiao Xiu can only use the vague concept of a very distant place.

The soul fire in Skeleton's eye sockets jumped a few times again, and then a dark box and an old contract floated out of midair.

The dark box contained powerful corrosive power, even without asking, Qiao Xiu knew what it was, the lifeblood of the liches.

Contract, I will give you a quarter of my soul, and you will give me all your music scores to play, and I will not disappoint the masters you speak of. The bone bone said.

Three souls and seven souls, the soul is inseparable, having a quarter of the soul is equivalent to getting half of the life of the bone bone.

Damn it... this lich is really a lunatic, he even gave up his life to get back his human perception.

But living alone in a small black room with no light, no food, and no water for thousands of years, surely life would be worse than death, right?

Mr. Bones is probably living such a life.

Of course, I accept.

There was nothing wrong with that contract, after all, it was written in the name of Chaos, and Qiao Xiu's perception of this kind of magic power was much more acute than his!

A drop of blood spilled from Joshua's fingertips and floated in front of the contract, and then a large amount of dark and transparent mist spilled from the black box and poured into Joshua's drop of blood.

The blood congealed into a dark jewel-like object, which fell into Qiao Xiu's palm and melted, and finally a strange mark appeared in Qiao Xiu's palm.

Relying on this mark, Joshua felt a vague connection with the undead creatures around him.

Fix Ronika for the future master of music...wait

Qiao Xiu also knew the real name of Mr. Bones, and was slightly taken aback. Xiuronika...why doesn't this name sound like a man?

She let out a harsh laugh again, and just raised the glass full of wine in her hand.

Cheers. Miss Lich named Shuronica said.
