Even if Zhao Xu had some guesses, he couldn't predict the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Master?" Lux asked.
"I'm wondering if I have any chance of winning if I'm still in synchronicity." Zhao Xu said his calculation.
"What do you think, Master?"
Zhao Xu shook his head, "Not even one point."
With the synchronization, he only temporarily possesses nine-level spells. He lacks advanced abilities and expertise, and the restrictions are too great.
"Hey, Master, you can't seek death at this time." Lux smiled.
"The existence of the gods themselves is a mistake. They are the souls of the dead. On the one hand, they have power similar to that of gods, and on the other hand, they draw power from the pure hatred of gods."
"The birth of the evil beings themselves is accompanied by pain and distortion. There are many kinds of them, and they are all terrifying beyond imagination. They are also cursed by heaven and hell. Generally speaking, the evil beings will be sealed from birth. What we see now are those that were accidentally released over time or escaped on their own."
Although the evil "Shrinker" was considered a large creature in size, there were a large number of other undead creatures gathered around it, and Zhao Xu didn't see much clearly for a while.
"In other words, the lucky ones are the sons of gods, and the unlucky ones are the evil ones?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but become curious when he heard these secrets about gods for the first time.
Even in the book Gods and Demigods, the mention of "gods" is only in fragments, and many times the wrong reference to gods is used.
"Well, it's not strictly accurate to say this. But the main thing you have to remember is that every divine evil appears in Arthur accompanied by disaster and pain. They have divine immortality and are always killed."
At this time, Lacus directly generated an image of the other party in her mind.
Zhao Xu suddenly felt an image that he could not see clearly with his original vision, and almost made a sound.
The evil "Shrinker" looked like a deformed and incomplete fetal membrane. Zhao Xu could see the characteristics of the undead creature at a glance. The opponent had a moist and swollen body, his eyes were horribly empty, and disgusting smells were constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth. saliva. At the same time, the "Shrunk One" has slender arms with sharp claws at the end, and only a pair of withered legs echoes its name.
"It's so disgusting, Lacus cut it." Zhao Xu said with a frown.
This is an obvious horror movie look.
At this time, the "Amber Coffin" floating in the air had been pulled directly above the "Land of Sleepers" by Night Shadow, and behind it was a dense army of undead creatures with the ability to fly.
"In other words, the horror of divine evil is beyond our imagination?" Zhao Xu said.
"That's right, Master, some of the data panels of mainly the evil ones look similar to those of legendary monsters. For example, the leader of evils, the legendary hundred-armed giant with a challenge level of up to level 57, if you look at the monster's card at a glance, Master, you are not weak at all after reaching level 17."
"However, they themselves also have indescribable and unguessable 'divine templates', just like the 'incarnations' of gods, they can play an unrivaled role. As far as I know, Arthur's divine template , usually with the addition of level 20 priest abilities. Therefore, the combat power is no less than that of the Blazing God." Lux said.
Zhao Xu also frowned.
The servants of Arthur's Blazing Sky are powerful because they have level 20 priest abilities.
The dragon family is also powerful, because after their hit dice are higher, they also have the sorcerer level.
For example, the ancient golden dragon Campas that Zhao Xu once encountered was considered a level 19 warlock.
At this moment, Zhao Xu looked at the twenty-four flying winged night shadows with a challenge level of 14 that were fixed with chains around the sarcophagus. This alone was not something that his current level 5 mage could face.
If he could bring in all the equipment, he might even have a slight chance.
"So Lux, our goal should originally be based on saving people and Iron Will expertise." Zhao Xu said.
It is really difficult to deal with the undead creatures all over the sky.
"Hehe, I mainly want to remind you, Master, that the abomination itself hates the gods. At this moment, he can still remain calm and escort the fragment of the godhead, which itself has extraordinary significance." Lux said.
At this time, all the undead creatures in the "Sleeper's Land", even the most arrogant ghost dragon, and even the lich with the ability to cast spells, are all expressing their respect and belief towards the amber crown in the sky.
Not to mention the group of ghouls closest to Zhao Xu. When the "Amber Coffin" appeared from the sky, they all trembled and knelt on the spot regardless of whether they had time to run out of the cave.
This comes from the god of death, which inherently has great suppression on undead creatures.
This is also the source of the "rebuke undead" ability possessed by evil priests.
"Now, is this 'Amber Coffin' being pulled out to stabilize the godhead?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Wow, Master, your intuition hit again." Lux said with a sigh.
"Lux, you don't have so many intuitions. These undead creatures can't have enough to eat and have nothing to do. Why don't they drag the coffin through the streets? Oh, they don't need to eat. There must be a reason why this coffin can take risks in the air. It's just that they don't die. I remember that the faith provided by living things is very weak." Zhao Xu said, ignoring the other party's flattery.
"Well, this can still stabilize the fragments of the godhead." Lux said.
In fact, undead creatures are immune to a lot of negative effects, ranging from shock to paralysis, and they don't need to eat, sleep, or breathe. It can be said that it is a template that can be used once and for all.
Therefore, every year there are many mages who pursue immortality but lack low-cost channels. Even if they know that they will fall into the evil camp, they resolutely choose to become "lich".
These lichs are also one of the undead creatures that pose the greatest threat to Zhao Xu in the town below.
The enemy of a mage is often another mage.
"Master, there is actually hope. If I transform into a divine weapon, I might be able to steal some of the energy from the fragments of the godhead."
Lux looked at the "Amber Coffin" and sighed with emotion.
This moment may be their closest opportunity to get closer to godhood in the next ten years.
At this time, neither the Mage Association nor the will of the gods have intervened, and they even plan to permanently seal this demiplane and put it aside until an opportunity in the future can be opened.
"It's better not to take action now." At this time, the large army was still in mid-air, and Zhao Xu didn't know where the other party would go in the end, but he didn't dare to move lightly at this moment.
"They will eventually escort the 'Amber Coffin' to the Temple of Death in the town." Lux said, "Wang Ningwei and Eswig are most likely hiding in a building in the town below."
"After the fusion of the two planes, it is estimated that many things have changed." Lux judged based on her own knowledge.
"What about my 'Iron Will' specialty?" Zhao Xu said in surprise.
He had just suppressed his nausea and crawled through this corridor. It could be said to be some kind of exercise.
But now that the two planes merged and the original trial levels turned into nothingness, then he would lose the opportunity to obtain "Iron Will."
In particular, Zhao Xu felt the expertise provided by the "Spell Truth Fragments" and that he would need a lot of metamagic expertise after reaching level 6.
Even if he is given 10 expertise slots now, he can arrange them clearly.
But the actual situation is very cruel. He can only obtain expertise every three levels in multiples. From level 6 to level 18, there are only 5 levels-based expertise.
Other expertise can only be provided by advanced professions, just like a mage can obtain one metamagic expertise every 5 levels, which is basically pitiful.
"Well, that expertise, Master, will be automatically obtained when you leave this demiplane. This is one of the reasons why the association lets you come in." Lux said.
"Because the nature of the plane has changed?"
"Well, no matter what, I'm afraid that the master, you, Wang Ningwei, and Eswig are the last three candidates in this world to obtain the 'Iron Will' through the gift of plane power. As long as you can leave alive, the will of the demiplane All the remaining expertise and spirituality will be poured into you." Lux said.
"wrong."
Suddenly Zhao Xu's expression changed.
"Actually, once we enter the plane, we should be targeted by the 'artificial god of death'. Why do we still receive gifts from the will of the plane?"
"Originally, the association allowed me to come in based on the premise that it had special means. But in the end, they didn't give me any special means."
"In this case, either Wang Ningwei and Eswig are more important than me and can sacrifice me to gain their chance of survival. However, Teacher Antinoya also felt free to let me in, which negated this possibility."
"Another possibility is that the association actually has the confidence to allow me to successfully leave, so it simply allows me to get this 'expertise gift'."
Zhao Xu analyzed it word by word.
He also realized that Lux, more or less, was not hiding something from him, but was selectively revealing it to him.
"Lux, can you tell me the truth?" Zhao Xu said.
Suddenly, the artifact spirit Lux in Zhao Xu's mind let out a long breath, "Master, when did you confirm this suspicion?"
She knew that Zhao Xu definitely did not raise doubts after hearing that he would definitely get expertise, but because of his own statement, it was the last brick in the chain of speculation.
"From the moment we enter the stone gate, we need to break the spell." Zhao Xu said.
"Although I haven't learned much about it, there are three other encryption methods mentioned in modern times, but they have not been applied. This means that the encryption was not set up by the association's senior mage." Zhao Xu said.
After thousands of years of accumulation of magical civilization, the entire building is basically very solid. Most mages are doing repair work, or even building their own towers within the building.
Lux introduced him to a total of 23 spell encryption theories, but skipped three that were only added in modern times. The coincidence was a bit too much.
Lux continued to sigh, "Master, because this involves a shameful past of the association, they didn't tell you."
"The first half of this demiplane of the 'Scavenger Mine' is where Naraku, the God of Death, once suffered 'torture'. It is the 'Place of Divine Punishment'. The second half is where the God of Death completed his revenge and Killing, so this is also the ‘place of becoming a god’.”
