Seeing Frank, a nine-ring mage, gritting his teeth in distress.
Zhao Xu and Lux both felt a sense of expectation that they shouldn't have in their hearts.
"Master, suddenly I want something that the other party is so painful to give." Lux said with some excitement.
"Calm down." Zhao Xu quickly comforted Lux. "We don't have that spell."
But he was also very curious.
Frank took out the "Mithril Crystal" worth tens of millions of gold coins without even a trace of hesitation.
It's just that it's not easy to liquidate, and it's more suitable as a long-term wealth left to future generations. If it really had to be sold, it would only cost a million gold coins.
Arthur has a proverb: Only the gold coins that clang in your hand are the real gold coins.
Even though they knew that they could not actually take out the magic scrolls of "Snap Explosion" and "Advanced Explosion", Zhao Xu and Lux's attention was attracted by the silver hands of "Frank" reaching into the dimensional bag.
"Master, Lux's heart is beating fast."
"Lux, aren't you a divine weapon? If the opponent is dying, you will take out a divine weapon, right?"
"Just take out the artifact and I can devour it." Only then did Lux reveal his true intention.
But before Zhao Xu could be shocked by the meaning behind this sentence, he saw the other party taking out a scepter that Zhao Xu recognized—
Advanced super magic instant scepter!
"Send away the beggar, huh." Lux came to a conclusion instantly.
Zhao Xu looked at the metal scepter, which was almost one meter long, and said coldly: "I have no shortage of instantaneous means."
Having said that, this scepter, which can be used to instantly cast 1-9 level spells three times a day, is actually a magical weapon for the mage.
It allows Zhao Xu to avoid the high cost of fourth-level spell slots required for instant casting.
This is of great significance in spell battles where time is of the essence.
Zhao Xu could only cast one "Standard Movement" spell each round, and then he had to recover and adjust his state.
If he has this "scepter" or learns the "Spell Prompt" feat, he can add an additional "quick" spell within the limit time of this round.
In the past, Zhao Xu relied on burning potential points to "successfully" hit Antinoya after casting a spell "Freezing Ray" and then immediately casting a second spell.
It's just that the scepter that originally made Zhao Xu drool now has little meaning after he advanced to level 6 "Super Magical Spellcaster".
He will be able to super-demon at no cost, but now he feels uncomfortable taking up the hand position while holding it.
"No, no, don't worry, your Excellency, this is just an added bonus." The mage Frank quickly explained.
Then a scepter worth 170,000 gold coins was just thrown away by Frank and rolled next to the 20,000 gold coins that Zhao Xu had just prayed for.
"It's just an addendum, Master. I feel like I won't be able to handle this battle if I don't pay for a legendary item later." Lux's tone also rose.
Perhaps the owner of the treasure house did not expect that the things the two intruders took out were more expensive than every item on the storage shelf.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu saw Frank take out a staff full of cold and deep cold air.
It looks like it is made entirely of fused finger bones, and its shape alone makes people shudder.
"The legendary necromantic staff has four evil spells. It can be said that they are all spells that you, the master, are not very easy to cast at the moment." Lux explained.
"Is that the evil element or the death element spell? But the goddess has part of the death priesthood." Zhao Xu said.
"It's because the goddess has this priesthood that she dares to give you this scepter, otherwise she would be mocking you in person." Lux said, "If you use miracles to simulate those spells, it will impact the blazing god. , maybe the synchronization will be interrupted. And using this staff can avoid it." Lux said.
"The main thing is this staff. Master, you can use it in the future."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu remained expressionless and looked at Frank.
At this time, Frank also made a proud voice, as if the king was showing off the borders of his country.
He took out a silk scarf and gently wrapped it around the staff made of fused finger bones, as if any fingerprints touching it were a stain, and there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"I dug this legendary necromantic staff from the tomb of a certain demi-lich. At that time, it still had more than thirty rounds left on it, but I was reluctant to use it. There are still so many of them today."
As he spoke, Frank couldn't help but hold the slender finger bone staff tightly, "It has four spells, namely the death circle (sixth ring), summoning advanced undead (eighth ring), and the finger of death (seventh ring). Ring), Soul Binding Technique (Nine Rings), you understand its meaning."
"Master, he thought you were a devout priest and would dedicate this thing to the church. Hehe, I guess that's why I picked this one specially."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but whispered to Lux: "It feels a little targeted at the upcoming battle, but the necromancy spells I use with the staff cannot be converted into the giant scythe."
"No, Master, I'm afraid you can." At this time, Lux became serious, "If you use the magic of the God of Blazing Sky, it will naturally not work. But the owner of this undead scepter, the demilich, believes in the God of Death. It’s Naraku’s, so it can be discounted to 10% or 20%.”
One or two percent
It sounds like very little, but think about it from another perspective.
The death circle kills creatures in an area and then awakens them as undead.
The spell "Summon the High Undead" can also summon the "Soul Prisoner" with a challenge level of 11.
They are all spells that can help him cause a snowball of killing on the battlefield.
Maybe the final calculated efficiency would be higher than his own kills with the giant scythe.
"Do you think the price of these two scepters is enough?" Frank asked in a somewhat humble tone.
Frank knew that without these two scepters, his strength would be weaker.
But once there is a spell that allows him to cast spells intuitively.
There is no need for him to continue to waste time here.
"Lux, it's hard to get off the tiger." Zhao Xu pretended to be thinking at this time, pondering the gains and losses involved.
"Master, there are more ways to cast spells using intuitive actions than this in the world. He couldn't recognize the triggering method you just used. But I have to think about it, what method is there?"
"Fortunately, I know." Zhao Xu almost gritted his teeth.
"Hey, Master, you are actually more knowledgeable than me? It's unbelievable."
"'Force Scholar' has the means to achieve it, but he has no potential points and cannot advance." Zhao Xu said.
"Then you can't blame us."
"Lux, if this continues, we will fall into the 'chaos' camp sooner or later." Zhao Xu complained.
"Hehe, it's okay. Chaotic Good is also a priest of the Goddess of Magic, and we are not greedy for his things, so we will not become evil." Lux defended, "We are not greedy for his things, but if he is willing to give the secret Tell us, and we will tell him the way to Mystra."
When Zhao Xu met Xiao Qi at the Molin Stone Monument, the other party also offered him the profession of "Force Scholar".
It's just that his potential points belong to the enhanced version of potential points.
It even covers some of the professional abilities of the "Force Scholar" itself, so it has not been adopted as his advancement.
But it is still undeniable that the professional ability of "Force Scholar" to change spells into "intuitive spell casting" is extremely domineering and powerful.
Any spell can be thrown out in front of others.
Compared with using "Swift Explosion" and having to endure the stun effect of "Swift Explosion", it is more convenient than just one or two things.
After Zhao Xu thought about it, he said to Frank: "I have an advancement that can be achieved."
But as soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, Frank suddenly sat back on his original chair, as if all his strength had been drained.
The originally shiny skin all over his body became extremely dull.
He shook his head in frustration, "Advancing, it's a pity that I have reached my limit."
"That means he ended his path to legend." Lux added in due course.
"Why do you have to look for this method?" Zhao Xu suddenly realized that things were not that simple.
At this time, Frank, the nine-ring mage, suddenly held his head and huddled deeply in the shadows.
"I want to get my wife's soul back."
"I was once a talented mage. I made very fast progress in learning magic and became a fourth-ring mage at the age of thirty. But I know that my lifespan is not long enough for me to continue on this path."
"So I made a deal with the devil and got the immortality advancement of 'Emerald Star Master'."
"It's just that the devil misinterpreted the agreement and took away my wife's soul. After that, I realized that some people are far more valuable than magic."
"In the end, the devil told me three things. He wanted me to realize one of them and return my wife's soul to me."
After hearing these words, Zhao Xu suddenly fell into silence.
On the verge of despair, he begged the devil, but in the end the devil took away something more important.
It seems that this is a tragedy that is repeated all the time for these people who made a deal with the devil.
"What are the other two items?"
"Become a legendary mage." Frank said with difficulty.
"It's more than that." Suddenly, Zhao Xu exposed this point directly.
This clearly shows that the devil needs a capable mage.
At this moment, Frank looked like a gambler who had lost all his fortune in gambling. He didn't even have the strength to raise his head.
"Yes, after achieving one of these points, I can serve them for another three years."
Zhao Xu mocked: "Are you sure you can really get your wife's soul back after three years of service? Now that you are in the Nine Rings, you don't have the confidence to go to the Nine Hells to retrieve the soul. I'm afraid the other party is also a lord-level devil in hell. "
Frank shook his head in frustration, "It is the disguise of a certain lord of hell, and it has been communicating with me under a false name, so I have no idea how to go to hell to find it.
"Master, let him contact the devil. If we do this, I might be able to turn into the Book of All Laws later." Lux said angrily.
"Aren't you overdrawn?"
"Hey, I've gained some strength after being so angry with this coward Frank. At worst, I'll just have to lie down for another 14 days."
"I just learned the 'Iron Will' specialty and fought the 'Abyssal Demon', and now I have to fight the incarnation of the Lord of Nine Hells?" Zhao Xu felt that he had gone a little too far with this turn.
Just thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said to Frank: "You communicate with the devil, and I will 'talk' to it."
