The Truth of Magic

Chapter 201: Notebook Truth (3/3)

Zhao Xu was about to open the sub-space bag and check the internal structure.

Suddenly Lux said, "Master, this thing belongs to you anyway. If you open it now, you will easily get some lingering aura."

After hearing what Lux said, Zhao Xu stopped trying to reach in and grab a handful.

The "Dimensional Bag" is not comparable to Zhao Xu's "Howard Convenience Bag". If it can't do what he wants, something will automatically appear above for him to take.

But no matter how rubbish the contents were, Zhao Xu had at least gained something at this moment.

He began to fold and put away the sack-like "dimensional bag".

Although the dimensional bag itself has a similar appearance, Zhao Xu still determined that the bag in front of him was the "Dimensional Bag II", which was worth about 5000 GP and had 2 cubic meters of space. It could hold two tons of tap water alone.

Even if there were only a few gold coins in it, Zhao Xuda wouldn't be losing money just by getting this bag.

After all, I had just defeated monsters and basically relied on unprofitable trading with artifacts.

"Strange, Lux, why didn't I upgrade this time?" Zhao Xu said to himself at this time.

He used to be able to level up smoothly even through chatting and spanking.

This time, I finally defeated a monster with a challenge level close to level 20, but there was no reward at all

Otherwise, when Zhao Xu reaches level 4, he will be able to obtain attribute points and continue to increase his intelligence to 22 attributes.

"Ah? Master, did you make a mistake?" Suddenly Lux said with a smile, "I have already obtained the harvest, such as the 'Book of All Laws'. My probability of directional deformation has reached 31% now." , isn’t it awesome?”

"1%." When Zhao Xu heard this increase in probability, it was better than nothing.

But it also means that maybe one day Lux can change the artifact he wants at will

But at this moment, doubts arose in his mind.

"Lux, do you want to upgrade too?"

"Yes, Master, in my true complete form, I can freely transform into any artifact, and there are more than one." Lux said softly, "So I need your support, Master."

"Moreover, Master, you can also go and take a look at this altar. There are secrets on it." Lux suggested.

"Otherwise, when Mystra's people come in, this place will definitely be sealed off, and Master, you won't be able to explore it so freely."

Zhao Xu also turned his attention to the altar at this time and slowly walked forward.

The altar of Naraku, the God of Death, is sculpted from a giant piece of green stone. In addition to its good conductivity of divine magic, this material is also very resistant to wear and external force intrusion.

After hundreds of years, there are no more sacrifices on the altar, not to mention that the God of Death has long since disappeared, and no one can be found to please the God.

After Zhao Xu got a little closer to the "altar", he discovered that in addition to the runes originally engraved on it, there was also a thin layer of boiling and bubbling blood.

Was it painted with his own blood by the "Deep Hell Demon" just now

Zhao Xu relied on his recent knowledge of rituals, coupled with his knowledge and skill test results in the three aspects of mystery, religion, and planes, to barely guess what the "Deep Hell Demon" had repainted. , in order to seize the dominance of this altar.

"It is to change the direction of the altar from pointing to the abandoned Kingdom of Death to pointing to a certain level in purgatory, or its owner." Lux once invaded the altar, so she immediately Know the moves of the devil.

Zhao Xu nodded. He was worthy of being the devil of the order camp. His class concept was so strong that even Arthur didn't forget to report to his master and submit an application.

No wonder he didn't feel that the other party was very powerful, but he still managed to climb to the high level of an ordinary devil like a "hell fiend".

If it were a race like demons, which is as big as me, the altar would definitely point to its own true name.

But after looking back, Zhao Xu honestly took out the "Zhongxia Spell Notes" from his backpack and copied the ritual spells he saw into it.

At the same time, he took this opportunity to briefly summarize what happened after he came in.

"Lux, is there anything wrong with the notebook in my hand?"

Zhao Xu and Lux confirmed that this notebook was obtained from Andy and was a relic of the other party's ancestor.

"No, it's just an ordinary notebook that can record unlimited content. The copied text will have some spirituality." Lux sensed it and said, "But it has stirred up the death aura of some tombs. I'm afraid that tomb was alive. The master still has some strength."

Some strength

Who can be evaluated like this by Lux must be a demigod or above

When Zhao Xu got the diary, Andy's ancestor recorded the general location of the tomb in the first few pages, as well as a simple sketch of the entrance to the tomb.

If you are passing by that area, you can go in and explore it.

However, he had better lower his expectations. Places that could have been explored by Andy's ancestors hundreds of years ago may now be transformed into resting places for adventurers.

While Zhao Xu was doing his homework, he asked, "Lux, did you drag me in on purpose?"

The reason why he came here naturally started from the fact that he picked up a broken notebook in the gravel.

"No, Master. In fact, from the beginning, I was lying in the sarcophagus, sleeping, and I didn't wake up until you entered there. Otherwise, how could I let the 'Phantom Demon' roam around here? ." Lux denied.

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Xu's first reaction was to activate "Secondary Swift Burst", but he had just used "Higher Swift Burst".

He has not yet accepted the penalty of being stunned for one round, so naturally he cannot cast a similar spell again.

However, Zhao Xu was not slow to react. He took out the notebook from his pocket and threw it away from the altar.

At this time, Lux had just overdrawn a power transformation artifact, and she would be unable to support him in the short term.

At this moment, Zhao Xu took out the "Protective Staff" and stood ready to stare at the notebook he picked up from the gravel pile that was specially led to him here.

Suddenly, after the notebook that Zhao Xu had dropped on the ground shook, a group of spiritual bodies that were too light to be seen slowly seeped out of the notebook. Finally, it stabilized in the air and began to reorganize. Slowly Become humanoid.

"Ghost." Lux reminded.

Zhao Xu also looked wary at this time, looking at the ghost that suddenly appeared.

But now that he is at the third level, he is no longer as weak as he was at the first level.

The ghost's body is a middle-aged man. His face is painful, but he can't hide the military aura in the corners of his eyebrows.

Zhao Xu knew that he had met a colleague from his previous life.

"Why did you deliberately lead me here?"

Zhao Xu asked.

After all this time, Leian still couldn't find this temple through the stone sundial, and he couldn't tell that this ghost had this ability.

"Mr. Zhongxia, you don't have to worry about me. My wish has been fulfilled and I will dissipate on my own later." The ghost bowed to Zhao Xu and expressed his gratitude.

As it spoke, its peripheral vision looked at the dregs that were in a state of decay after the devil's death, and had now become a very small mess.

It's not that Zhao Xu doesn't want to take care of it.

But as long as the devils do not die in Baator Hell, then no matter what, the dregs of their bodies after death will continue to shrink until they are annihilated.

Then wait a hundred years and be resurrected in hell.

What kind of devil they will become at that time will depend on whether their former owners give them face.

Zhao Xu roughly understood several key points of the matter at this moment, but he did not say more, but continued to wait for Ghost's explanation.

Anyway, if the other party doesn't have to prove himself in a hurry later, then he has to continue to discuss it.

"I think you also know that I am the commander of the Southland Banner Corps who was tempted by the devil and sacrificed his soldiers four hundred years ago." The ghost said with a face of shame.

"It's you who is stupid."

Zhao Xu retorted calmly.

The military is a far more closely connected organization than a team of adventurers.

Zhao Xu also had many brothers in his previous life. During the demon sealing battle, everyone trusted each other with life and death. Naturally, this kind of betrayal was even more disgusting.

If the other party is a refugee with no clothes and no food to eat, it's okay to be tempted in order to survive. How can he care so much if he is going to die.

However, as a high-level commander, he himself was educated and fell into the manipulation of the devil. He eventually became a ghost and could not escape.

Zhao Xu would not understand and sympathize with the other party because he had fallen into a state of ghost that could not be transcended.

"Indeed, I am stupid." The ghost blamed himself.

"After nearly seventy or eighty soldiers were sacrificed, when the dead bones of a certain soldier were dug up, the entire legion fell into an uproar. Slowly, soldiers began to escape every day."

"Finally, I expressed to the devil that I could no longer continue the sacrifice, but in return I received ridicule from the devil, saying that I had sold my soul to them for revenge, and that I would only become one of their own kind after death."

"I was not reconciled at that time. On the one hand, I felt that my power was getting stronger and stronger every day, and my appearance became more and more like the devil. On the other hand, I was afraid. So later, I committed suicide in front of this notebook. Sure enough, I really didn't change. as a devil, but succeeded in becoming a ghost.”

"Mr. Zhongxia, you killed the devil, and I understand my wish. The rest of the content is recorded in this notebook. I also hope that you can keep this piece of our family's legacy for me until now. The token brought out from the tomb."

The ghost suddenly said excitedly: "That bitch married me for this thing in the first place, so how could I let them get their wish? They could never guess that the thing they are pursuing so hard is what I bring with me every day. The broken notebook on my body, hahaha... "

Before the ghost finished speaking, the mist-like spirit body that had condensed into a ball couldn't hold on and dispersed in all directions.

"It thought wrong and broke away from the protection of the notebook. Its soul will be reorganized, then fall into hell and be reincarnated as a devil." Lux said silently.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn't say much.

When people make mistakes, they will naturally pay the price, it's just a matter of time.

At this time, he also walked to the notebook where the ghost disappeared and revealed its true appearance.

In other words, its shape and appearance are similar to the "Midsummer's Spell Notes" that Zhao Xu obtained from Andy -

Exactly the same.
