The Truth of Magic

Chapter 341: Promises about the future

Views:

Professional level can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of countless people. Even the simplest "Level 1 Priest" is an insurmountable barrier. When Grazt comes here, he is directly promised the "Legendary Priest".

Arthur's priest can also cast "legendary magic" after reaching the legendary level.

Once upon a time, "dossier scholars" discovered that the "cursed stone tablet" that could be passed down was a legendary magic.

However, everything a pastor has comes from God and some of his own efforts.

When a priest reaches "legendary", the price God needs to pay is close to a high price, so there are not many legendary priests who truly survive in the world.

Even if the succubus is close to being legendary, it is only close to the challenge level after adding its original "succubus" strength. The succubus itself is only about the seventh-level priest.

At the same time, this is not the first time that Zhao Xu has heard about the temptation of Legend's "cake".

But it was definitely the calmest time he had ever felt.

When Antinoya mentioned the legend to him, she kneaded the flour for the cake first and waited for Zhao Xu to spend a lot of energy to "fry" it.

Unlike Grazte, who just came up with a picture.

After all, the reputation of the Abyss Demon is too bad.

The devils in hell at least know how to abide by the "contract" on the surface, and are deeply restrained by the power of "order".

All devils and devils who can betray their own camp are countless existences in history.

In particular, Zhao Xu thought of what was described in the "Overview of the Abyss Lords" he read that time. Graz'zt always liked to bring non-human creatures such as lions, succubi, and six-armed snake demons with him when he went out.

Not to mention that Zhao Xu himself received a kind education since he was a child. When Graz'zt gave him the priest level, he turned into a creature like a succubus, which made him want to cry without tears.

In particular, the succubus itself has a common name in Arthur - the banshee that absorbs essence.

According to rumors, the high-level priests under Grazt are all women, which makes people even more chilling.

Not to mention that he became the other party's pastor, directly controlling life and death.

Therefore, Zhao Xu never considered Grazte's suggestion from beginning to end.

Instead, what made him curious was the other party's motives.

After all, he is not in a situation where troops are approaching the city, and the opponent is suppressing him. Instead of him, Zhao Xu, went into the abyss, got to Graz'zt's lair, and directly threatened and forced the other party to take some action.

Ever since the succubus priest took the initiative to show up and draw away the power of most "priests", Grazt has been making arrangements to seek an opportunity to meet him.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu felt as if a pocket of cold water had been poured all over his body.

From the time he entered Arthur, one line of Zhao Xu's way of thinking remained unchanged.

Even if sometimes he is led by the situation, he always adheres to this concept.

In layman's terms, if you can go straight to a road, why do you need to take a detour

If you really want to negotiate with him or recruit him as your younger brother, after Zhao Xu and Artoria's "synchronization" ended, until he returned to Mystra and went out to find the mage tower, he spent a lot of time in the process of The state of a person wandering outside.

Grazite has many spies on Arthur's surface. Whether he projects it himself, or allows priests and other agents to have enough opportunities to contact Zhao Xu.

It doesn’t have to be in this critical moment.

It's like directly claiming that there is a bomb on the plane that the other classmate is about to board in order to save him from having a meal.

Too much force.

It means that the other party must contact him at this moment, or even later, it may expire and become invalid.

Zhao Xu, who had originally planned to refuse even if he died, suddenly became curious after thinking about this and asked: "Transactions are like two sides of a silver coin. I'm afraid I don't have the life to take the reward from the legendary priest."

Hearing Zhao Xu let go, the green light in Graz'zt's eyes brightened even more. He said with a bewitching smile: "Don't worry, we demons are not like humans who have to fight for the day and night. Endless life makes time The scale is very vague to us, and often our transactions span several generations of your human family."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he actually wanted to say sarcastically, "I believe you are a big-headed idiot."

They all hurriedly came to block him before he left the church, and they didn't waste time.

"But, Lao Ge, you still haven't told me what I need to pay." Zhao Xu didn't want the other party to blur this focus.

As for this demon king, although it was only a projection of himself that came to Arthur, and his power was greatly limited, he was still a little surprised to hear Zhao Xu call it that, as if it was just a chat between friends.

Those powerful mages in ordinary times, even if they have been promoted to legend, are still polite to him.

And some arrogant adventurers, if they are lucky enough to break into the Silver Palace, will indeed say some rude words to him.

Usually, he will turn him into the lowest level coward, and then throw him into the bloody battlefield to become fertilizer for the land.

After a long time, Graz'zt returned to his original smile, "Mr. Zhongxia, I just need your promise at some point in the future."

In an instant, the heavy fog in Zhao Xu's mind seemed to be swept away by these words, becoming a vast sea and sky.

Even in this brief second, Zhao Xu felt the slight vibration of the fragments of the Death God's personality deep in his heart.

Many vague memory fragments, like glass bottles shattered on the ground, turned into shining silver chips, and then were swept away vigorously and entered his heart.

Zhao Xu was already very clear.

Graz'zt needs a promise from him.

A promise that had to be made in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Mystra, a promise that had to be made before he left the church today.

No matter how he strictly limits the scope of application of this promise, the other party just needs such a chance.

50% is asking him to be a second-rate boy, and 50% is asking him to hand over something.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu seemed to see his whole body, as if there were faint threads of contract oaths, connecting him.

Zhao Xu seemed to be a puppet, pulled by these tiny silver threads. Slowly, these threads pointed to a certain position.

It's not the disguised "Lei An" in front of him, but the completely unfathomable black shadow behind him.

"Master, this is the oath of the will of the abyss." After obtaining the fragment of the godhead, Lux, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly woke up and spoke.

"Well, Lux, you always show up so 'timely'." Even though he knew that life and death were on the line, Zhao Xu still couldn't help but want to complain about his own artifact that sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared.

"Hey, Master, you have to be patient. After a while, you can see a very cute Lux. And Master, you have to speed up the upgrade process. This will also help me integrate the Death Godhead as soon as possible. Fragments." Lux spoke happily, not caring at all about what Zhao Xu said.

"Is this what you showed me in reality?" Zhao Xu finally returned to the topic at this time.

From Graz'zt's perspective, Zhao Xu was lowering his head in deep thought, as if considering whether to accept its suggestion.

"That's right, Master. The problem now is that if you dare to be conceited or say a few more words, it will become an established reality in this space created by Graz'zt. At that time, he will make you give up the godhead you have obtained. , you can only do this." Lux said in a serious tone.

"I know."

Zhao Xu also looked solemn at this time.

After just figuring it out, he and Grazt, the Lord of the Abyss, didn't dare to say any more nonsense, lest the other party misinterpret it into some kind of explanation.

"Lux, is there any way you can get me out of here?" Now that Lax appeared, Zhao Xu also turned to this artifact that automatically surrendered to him.

"Well..." After hearing Zhao Xu's question, Lux also fell into deep thought.

"Master, there is something wrong."

"How to say?"

"Master, I am a divine weapon."

"What?"

"Master, how come you have such confidence to challenge God with the things God has created for you?"

"Lux, I suddenly have doubts about your status in the seven prophecies."

"Hey, master, don't look at you. You are only three rings, what kind of opponents have you encountered?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu was helpless. After all, Arthur is not a game that simply fights monsters based on levels. Those monsters will not be divided into areas based on their level.

When walking in the adventurous wilderness, it is also a common way for players to die by being sprayed to death by an evil dragon that is just passing by and is in a bad mood.

"How?" Suddenly, Graz'zt interrupted Zhao Xu's thoughts, and his tone began to sound cold.

"Actually, you don't have to think about procrastinating, someone will save you." Graz'zt seemed to be full of confidence, "Or are you so afraid to go against your goddess's will?"

After Zhao Xu heard this, he ignored him at all.

After seeing the layers of threads of fate, he already knew that the devil wanted to induce him to make a "false promise" to delay time.

It can be said that from the beginning of the communication between the other party and myself,

It's already being laid out.

In order to let myself get used to this kind of atmosphere, I finally agreed casually.

"Master, do you have any tokens of the goddess? Throwing them out might have some effect." Lux suddenly suggested.
