Chapter 338: bait

After Leian blurted out, novice players may still be a little confused.

But the original priests Blanche and Matthew, including the two six-ring mages who followed to intercept the succubus, all looked deeply at the "legendary necromantic staff" held in Zhao Xu's hand.

Then his eyes fell on Zhao Xu again, as if he wanted to analyze something.

The shape of the staff itself is in the style of the Necromancer faction. It is made up of finger bones one after another. It will give you a creepy feeling when you see it in the middle of the night.

Normally, Zhao Xu doesn't need it, and he doesn't put it next to his pillow to sleep with. He usually carries it in his backpack and wears it around his waist when he's on an adventure.

If it does not have any magic power, the priests of the goddess will consider it an evil weapon and destroy it after coming into contact with it, and most of the priests of the goddess will not carry such a staff that looks extremely evil.

But now, in addition to feeling a little uncomfortable when they looked at the staff, they were also secretly frightened by its price and the losses behind it.

For a time, there were even more speculations about Zhao Xu's identity. Even if it was a descendant of a giant from the Mage Association, it would be too extravagant to deploy such resources.

According to a secretly circulated adventurer's guide record, and based on the oral accounts and text file statistics of countless adventurers over thousands of years, on average, the wealth that can be harvested from encountering a level 20 challenge level monster is about 80,000 gold coins.

In addition to gaining fame, how many times do you have to kill "The Hell Fiend" in order to get the wealth that can buy this staff

"That's not right. It's just that we players are poor and have never seen the world. Why do these high-level priests and mages look so surprised? Is it possible that one million gold coins is the ceiling for magic equipment in this world?"

"It's hard to say. I've never heard of a piece of equipment worth millions of gold coins. Two hundred thousand gold coins is already an exaggeration."

After listening to the analysis of several observant players around him, a player sitting in the center who had switched from a paladin to a priest and was wearing the original blue linen shirt said with emotion: "One million gold coins can be used for a lifetime." In fact, it’s not expensive, and many magic equipments are even passed down as family heirlooms.”

For Arthur, a "full-body armor" worth thousands of gold coins is equivalent to the "house" of the earth, and a giant sword of fifty to hundreds of gold coins and a refined giant sword is equivalent to the "car" of the earth. Basically, it is equipped with a With this set, ordinary civilians can have a good fight with professional warriors.

And further up, there are "magic items" whose durability and power have been greatly improved. They are also very valuable "heirlooms" in Arthur. Ordinary families can only pass down and inherit weapons and armor.

Therefore, after everyone travels through time, giving a piece of magic equipment, even if it costs several thousand gold coins, is an extremely valuable gift.

"Then if I had this staff, how handsome I would be. A near-legendary succubus. If asked to drive away, I would kill him." A trainee priest player saw the staff in Zhao Xu's hand. , even if the shape is a bit strange, he is still swayed by it.

If they sell this kind of equipment to rich players, they can get millions of dollars back in exchange.

"No, you are not willing to use it." The original linen-shirted priest retorted, "If it were only a million gold coins, those priests would be amazed, but they would not stay there for so long. With this pattern, they There are still some.”

Hearing this, several trainee priests around him immediately turned their attention to the player. Even Zheng Xinyun, who didn't care much about gossip, couldn't help but listen.

"Because the staff only has 50 rounds. Except for a few staffs, most staffs are no different from fire sticks after they have consumed their energy."

"That is, for this staff, even if it is calculated based on the minimum price of 1 million gold coins, 50 rounds of energy are equivalent to 20,000 gold coins on average. If it is the kind that consumes two rounds of energy at a time, then using a spell will cost double 40,000 gold coins. Gold coins. Are you willing to burn one magic equipment at a time?"

When the linen-shirted priest finished these words, the surrounding players became silent, and they didn't even dare to look at the staff in Zhao Xu's hand.

If that kind of thing is used every time, if the cost is not recovered, it is an extremely extravagant waste.

At this time, Leian also noticed the rhythm of sometimes uproar and sometimes silence from the players, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

At this time, he looked at the remaining people and whispered: "If the church cannot find the succubus within an hour, it will beg for a miracle."

Leian himself was from the Mage Association, so he didn't have a deep feeling about this. However, when the priests standing opposite heard this, their faces flushed and looked ashamed.

Apparently being tricked to this point by a succubus with a divine weapon and the power of the abyss, they all gritted their teeth and wanted revenge.

However, Zhao Xu understood that this was actually excusable.

In fact, if he hadn't gone to look for traces of Peter today and obtained information about the succubus.

So today, the headquarters of the Goddess Church will be like the incidents that have occurred in many churches in history. Something is lost or someone goes missing, and then an investigation is initiated but nothing comes to an end. The loophole can even be reused.

It was not until many years later, after the aftermath of the factors of that year, that the original incident became known.

Today at least they have blocked the original purpose of the succubus, and even the other party's method of exploiting the loopholes will be patched and blocked, so that other major churches and even organizations will follow after receiving the information.

This is actually equivalent to the abyss forces sacrificing a "loophole" indicator in their hands, although the opponent will definitely not have just this kind of "loophole".

It depends on whether the succubus can take advantage of today's "loophole" in the end and exchange it for something of sufficient value.

When Zhao Xu and others interviewed the elderly priest, Zhao Xu could tell that the succubus was actually a trainee priest player after staying for a while.

So the succubus priest revealed himself and attacked Zhao Xu brazenly.

When it could not achieve its original goal, it resorted to the next best thing and chose to kill Zhao Xu, in order to waste this loophole in exchange for the final benefit.

If it could satisfy "Graz'zt" and make the Lord of the Abyss happy, the succubus might even be able to gain greater benefits.

As for the "blasphemy" attack on other trainee priests, it was just a prelude to killing Zhao Xu.

Lei An looked at Zhao Xu intently at this moment, and he obviously understood the logic of the whole process.

With the entire Sacred Heart Cathedral on full alert, the succubus has few options to recoup its losses. After all, it is hated by the Lord of the Abyss "Grazt" and must be weak enough to allow the succubus to easily The people killed were actually only Zhao Xu and a few others.

Therefore, Lei An had been chatting and chatting with Zhao Xu since his arrival and did not try to track down the enemy again.

Because his mission has changed to "protection".

After just confirming with the church, his top priority was to leave with the time bomb "Zhao Xu".

"Blanche, Matthew, you stay here and take care of me. As for Zhongxia, you can leave with me." Leian said at this time and gently waved to the two people who followed him at first, indicating to follow.

Seeing that Leian was about to leave, the old priest in charge of teaching and guidance quickly said: "Master Leian, don't you need to arrange for these trainee priests to be moved to a safe place?"

But Leian waved his hand directly, "If the succubus could be replaced with unlimited incarnations, then we would have asked for divine power to come down. It will not attack you again, or in other words, after we leave, you are the one True safety, and Blanche and Matthew themselves will stay to protect you."

At this time, Zhao Xu also quickly stepped up and followed Lei An closely.

The succubus did not try to hide in other ways, but attacked him brazenly, which showed that the other party had made a decision.

At this time, Zhao Xu was no longer a fisherman, but had become a fish that was being fished back. Naturally, he had to follow Lei An every step of the way.

But when he left, he still looked back at the group of trainee priests.

They didn't know that he would have to come back to give lectures in the next few days, which would be a bit embarrassing at that time.

Because of the mysterious locks in the church, once you get far away, the spiritual connection is easily interrupted.

Therefore, Lei An came back this time and re-arranged a "spiritual link" for Zhao Xu to communicate internally.

"What's your plan next?" Zhao Xu asked as he looked at Lei An, leading him around one floor at a time, as if he had no destination.

"What else can I do? Divine power is so overbearing. If you can't offend him, you can always hide away." Leian also felt a little powerless at this time.

"Are you still wondering why I took you away or didn't bring you back to the base camp quickly?"

Zhao Xu gently smoothed the scratches on the black sacrificial robe, "If it wants to attack me, it will definitely come back. In that case, why should I stay there and implicate other people."

"As for not returning to a safe place, do you want the succubus to continue to target me?" Zhao Xu analyzed.

"Yes, although it sounds a bit cruel, this is indeed the situation. For this, the church will compensate you next." Leian said, "This compensation will give you one more life from now on, but it is a small price. .”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn't have much opinion. In fact, if he didn't have this important identity, he would have been confused from beginning to end until the whole incident was over.

In fact, if ordinary people don't know the truth, they don't have to worry.

Rights and obligations correspond to each other, and Zhao Xu received a lot of resource support from the beginning.

But now, the church asked him to stand up to seduce and delay time, so that the succubus would not choose to attack other trainee priests, which was his responsibility that he needed to continue to fulfill.

"It's just that I'm a little strange." At this time, Zhao Xu also took the opportunity to raise his own questions.

"What's wrong?"

"I can understand why I didn't pray for a miracle from the goddess at the beginning. After all, it's not the Lord of the Abyss who comes personally, but just a legendary level succubus. But at this point of laboring and laboring, the church still insists on not asking for a miracle. Is it still possible? Is there a deeper reason?”

After Zhao Xu came out, he heard the noise nearby, and now the commotion was not small at all.

At this time, Leian reaffirmed that the "spiritual link" only existed directly between him and Zhao Xu.

After confirming again that Zhao Xu was Zhao Xu himself, he relaxed and said, "Next, you have to keep this secret from me."
