Knowledge is power, and it has never been an empty statement for Arthur.
And there are many secrets that have disappeared in Arthur's turbulent history, some of which can even make a mortal become a god on the spot.
This is also the reason why the more than ten types of "knowledge skills" in Arthur's skill system allow countless mages to invest a large amount of points in skill points that are not rich in the first place simply by connecting to the source of knowledge.
Now, an immortal being who is one of the three demon kings who has witnessed the rise and fall of the gods of the previous generation is willing to reveal a piece of history to him. This is an opportunity that countless people dream of but cannot get.
Even if there is a malicious curse from the demon king in front of them, the mages will still work hard for this, and they will not hesitate to go through fire and water.
Only mages who have experienced suffering know that some "knowledge" itself is priceless.
At this time, the demon king Grazt, who was standing behind Zhao Xu, felt Zhao Xu's tacit attitude.
He couldn't help but let out a satisfied laugh, like the sound of lava rolling when a volcano is about to erupt.
"When we first met, you stood up for the mage Frank to get his soul back. At that time, in order to ensure the 'effect of the oath', you attracted the power of the magic goddess Sisylvina on the spot."
"The power of the True God, through the effect of the nine-ring great magic 'Miracle Technique', no, it should be said to be the 'Miracle Technique', formed an airtight cage, blocking my power of the abyss on the spot. Invasion."
"Can you imagine that scene? How humiliating it is for an abyss lord?"
Demon Lord Graz'zt said, with a raised tone and a hint of sigh.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu finally understood.
He still underestimated the cost of "annoying" a demon king.
If Frank, the nine-ring mage, hadn't given him the "Mithril Crystal", the "Legendary Necromantic Staff" and the "Super Magic Instant Scepter" that could bring him subsequent income of tens of millions of gold coins, otherwise this would No matter how you look at it, every business is a loss.
"The gods spread the light of faith, allowing the devout and perseverant among the believers to become priests and perform divine spells. But this also involves cost issues and limitations on the scale of divine power. Otherwise, all the believers will become legendary priests, and Arthur will become a legendary priest overnight. Being able to be completely ruled by a certain god, so you didn't know the value of your 'miracle' at that time."
"Although I noticed that you relied on the ability to be possessed by the Holy Spirit to perform powerful magical arts. However, every miraculous technique can only be performed after the scrutiny of the gods, or it itself can With the endorsement of the gods.”
"It is the sin of a priest to use magic to kill innocent people indiscriminately. But using miracles to wipe out the lives of a city will only show the power of God's will. The church of the good god will not even say a word of nonsense. , but will crown you a saint.”
Zhao Xu just curled his lips in disdain.
The demon lord Graz'zt has been delaying talking about that long ancient history. He only talks about it and even deliberately instills in him the concept of "collapse of the Taoist heart", but he looks down upon it. Zhao Xu has been influenced by Arthur for ten years.
To put it bluntly, no one on earth can betray his or her own class.
As for Arthur, there is no existence that can betray his true camp.
The gods of the good camp will only start from the good camp and will not use evil tricks to do things that go against the camp.
This is also the reason why mortals have great faith in gods and respect priests.
"So at that time, I was very curious as to why the goddess of magic, Sisylvina, favored you so much. Especially since Sisylvina's style is not like that of some magic goddesses in the universe who descend to earth and get to know ordinary people. The tendency to fall in love and bear the Son of God.”
"As I paid more attention, I also discovered more wonderful elements. You are actually just an ordinary level 1 priest, and you are just a player. The combination of various factors makes me believe that there must be something special about you. "
At this time, the voice of Demon Lord Graz'zt began to become excited and surging, even trembling.
"Finally, my believers in the floating city found out something for me. A mysterious player mage sat on the seat of the former Arcane King. When that man performed the awakening ceremony, colorful streams of light poured down, even… "
"All kinds of speculations have made me turn my attention to your fate."
"Mystra's floating city shuts out the power of most gods, except for the power of the goddess of magic. It is also one of her few 'private territories'. Therefore, she, who has the power of destiny, will first Screened for me."
"And this is the beginning of all our stories, about Arthur's original creation, the legend of the twin snakes of order."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xu seemed to feel the anxious air around him flowing extremely rapidly.
A smell like sulfur and gunpowder smoke spurted out from the smoke-shrouded altar in front of him.
"Creation?" Zhao Xu said with surprise.
"That's right. This is a legend about Arthur's original creation and prophecy of destruction. It's just that most of the people who were lucky enough to hear it only heard part of it. Including the original elemental gods, including me. The abyss lords, and even the gods who ascended to the top in later generations, have only a partial understanding of this."
"What are the legends and prophecies about?" At this time, Zhao Xu had already noticed his heart and couldn't help but beat it.
Immediately he asked his question, "Ernest?"
Legends refer to things that happened in the past, while prophecies tell the future.
He only heard about the destruction of the world not long ago when Antinoya took him to visit the elemental god Moszelin.
"Haha. Regarding the specific legend, you have to ask Ernest, who has left Arthur, to tell it again, and then you can know the full text. As for the prophecy, I have heard part of it." Grazte said this. While talking, Zhao Xu could even hear the gnashing of teeth from the other person's mouth.
"Have you ever suffered a loss?" Zhao Xu asked back.
"If the cunning Ernest hadn't intervened and deliberately induced such a prophecy, how could my great Graz'zt still be unable to unify the abyss?"
"Not to mention 'Lord of the Abyss', even becoming a nominal 'Lord' is not possible?" Graz'zt said angrily at this time.
He has extremely powerful control, but when he mentions the past, he still can't hide the resentment in his chest.
"What prophecy did he say?" Even though he knew it was not good, Zhao Xu still couldn't hide the gossip in his chest.
If you can't hear the initial "legend", then it's okay to listen to the subsequent "prophecy".
"Ha." Graz'zt was also a little lonely, as if he could explain to others for the first time the depression in his chest for many years.
"The ancient and immortal existence comes with the world's newborn consciousness, and the abyss will usher in its true master. At that time, the River Styx will flow backwards, and a new bloody battle will spread to the world, determining the final destruction or restart."
"Is there nothing wrong with this?" Zhao Xu turned over the original text and thought about it, but couldn't hear anything wrong.
How could it prevent Graz'zt from becoming the "Lord" back then
Hearing about the destruction of the world, I'm afraid the demons will be very excited.
Chaotic evil has no reason in itself.
And if this prophecy is true, it is an extremely sad "destiny" that will inevitably come true.
Then why is Graz'zt in front of him so excited to fight for the position of "Demon Lord"? Shouldn't he have given up long ago
"It makes no sense, but, but -"
The power in Graz'zt's tone began to fade as he spoke, and Zhao Xu even saw the shadow in front of him shaking.
"But in this way, it wiped out in one fell swoop all the lords who had not witnessed the birth of the world's consciousness, including me.
Relying on a prophecy, I was on the verge of becoming the nominal "communist leader" by relying on power and conspiracy. "
"Those older demon lords came forward with great ambitions, thinking that they were the future masters of the abyss, and they immediately disobeyed my rule."
"The abyss that was originally tending towards integration and going against the nature of chaos, this extremely rare opportunity for unification was directly torn apart by this prophecy."
“…”
After hearing this, Zhao Xu didn't know whether to persuade him or not.
Witnessing the creation of the world, if there is something, there is something, and if there is nothing, there is nothing.
Last time, Ernest used prophecy to make Moszerin, an ancient god who could be said to have witnessed the birth of the world, commit suicide.
And this famous Lord of Darkness - Graz'zt, is famous for his power, but he has nothing to do with "ancient".
If the oldest demon really had the ability, he would have unified most of the Abyss long ago, so where would it be for a rising star like Graz'zt to emerge.
"Then how did you realize something was wrong?"
Zhao Xu asked. At this time, Graz'zt still wanted to board the "Lord". Obviously, the situation was different.
"Because, the lord who heard this 'prophecy' misunderstood. At that time, Ernest spoke this prophecy in the ancient purgatory language. As a result, the lord was too young and did not hear it, so he heard 'hell' It became an 'abyss'."
Suddenly, a flock of crows seemed to fly by Zhao Xu's ears.
Is this meant to be funny
