The Truth of Magic

Chapter 505: The clouds clear and the mist clears, pointing to the treasure

"who are you?"

A woman whose whole body was trembling and whose hands were shaking and could no longer hold the weapon said. Her face, which was originally covered in heavy makeup, had become bloody and indistinguishable, like a crazy woman in the countryside.

It's just that no matter how curious she was, it was useless. Just after a fight, she was defeated, her whole body had lost her fighting power, and her life and death depended on the opponent.

At this time, Zhao Xu unexpectedly remained silent.

In his sight, from the very beginning of the massacre.

The dynamic column kept reminding him that "the fragment of the God of Death is awakening".

This time, every time he killed, he could clearly feel the surge of life energy.

Every swing of his bat was a tribute to life.

Until that moment, he spent a lot of effort and knocked down the fourth sister of the six sisters.

After the death of this level 13 rogue, he was directly promoted to level 8.

Even at the moment of upgrading, the epitome of the God of Death's will faintly appeared behind him.

"Lux, what's going on?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but call out to the semi-silent artifact will.

"Um, what do you want to hear about this, Master?" Lux whispered.

"A fair, objective and rigorous statement." Zhao Xu plugged the loophole on the spot.

"That's because you are full and holding on, and your energy overflows." Lux explained, "Master, you have absorbed too much during this period of time, killing me from beginning to end."

"That's wrong." Zhao Xu immediately pointed out, "I obviously got promoted after coming out of the Palace of Azhuo and killing everyone. How many days has it been?"

"If the killings could really escalate quickly, there would already be level 5 warriors per capita on the battlefield."

"Well." Lux also had a headache, knowing that the Zhao Xu in front of her was no longer as easy to fool as before.

"Main master, you are a player. It is naturally easy to absorb this life energy. Otherwise, you players would not climb so fast. On the other hand, master, you also have fragments of the God of Death. You used to have one mouth here, but now you have two mouths to eat. The efficiency is definitely different.”

Hearing Lux say this, Zhao Xu also noticed something was wrong, "So the sequelae are not small?"

"Hey, Master, how can you say that? If there are really irreparable sequelae, then countless people will shout for me to get level 100." Lux was angry.

"Ha." Zhao Xu said angrily, "Don't think I don't know it was you."

"Hehe, okay." Lux's voice gradually lowered, "Didn't Miss Antinoya give you, the master, a 'Staff of the Realm of Decline' before? I asked you to make do with it before level 8."

"As a result, your master, your strength increased dramatically after you put on this death spell. Coupled with the fragments of the godhead, and I also reduced the consumption a little, you broke through immediately."

"I guess this is what Miss Antinoya means. Otherwise, I will give you a staff in advance to enjoy the next level of four-ring magic. What's the point? It's not to let the master wake up the god of death through killing every day when you cast spells." A fragment of the will of the Godhead.”

Zhao Xu suddenly realized.

Why did Antinoya give him a 50-shot energy staff and plausibly give him two energy shots a day, limiting him to reaching level 8 within 25 days.

"Tell me earlier next time." Zhao Xu warned.

Lux shook her head, "Master, this is different."

"Death is the essential law of this world, just like the cycle of the four seasons, it starts over and over again."

“The ground you sow is their intrinsic destination, not the result of deliberate creation.”

"If pure death is useful, Miss Antinoya asks you to kill all the mutant spiders in the dimensional bag. Wouldn't it be better to ascend to the legend in situ?"

Faced with such rhetoric, Zhao Xu also sighed.

"It seems I have to rush back to Falling Star Town as soon as possible."

From the time he reached level 6 and left Mystra, his basics were not very solid. He was fighting monsters and killing people along the way, without stopping for even a minute during the whole process.

"That's right, Master, settle your romantic debt as soon as possible, go back and retreat for a while, choose the new level 9 mage, then read your notebook, and successfully reach level 9."

"It's time for you to come to an end with all the turmoil in this world."

"Where did I get my romantic debt?" Zhao Xu complained, "What's wrong with me acting bravely and drawing my sword to help?"

"Yes, yes, but we casters should essentially work hard to improve production and strengthen logistics."

Zhao Xu nodded silently, agreeing with Lux's statement.

His eyes also returned to the woman in front of him, who was the fifth of the six sisters.

"Where are the Fleur and Mrs. Ellie you captured are being held?" Zhao Xu asked politely.

"Then you've come to the wrong place."

Although the Marta in front of him was defeated by Zhao Xu in one blow, he still said stubbornly.

"Don't be stupid." Zhao Xu smiled back, "If it weren't for your eldest sister being a high-level mage, and this is also the altar of the gods that your second sister, who is a priest, believes in, otherwise you think the alliance would not be able to locate it? "

"Or are you really so kind to take them for exchange?"

Mages have powerful positioning methods such as "biological positioning" and "perception of position".

In fact, Master Nash, who knew the Nine Rings of Fleur and Mrs. Ellie, could quickly detect their locations as soon as he took action.

However, if there is a sword, there is a shield. There are also methods for Arthur.

Those who want to kidnap wealthy people to do big business are just seeking death if they are not prepared to block detection methods.

There are still various kinds of kidnapping and trafficking in Arthur's world because ordinary families simply cannot afford the casting fees of hundreds or thousands of gold coins.

Especially when the mage does not know the location target, the conditions required are even more stringent.

Zhao Xu's words were also very simple, that is, the other party would either bring the two of them with him, or they would be locked up here.

Because this place is protected by magic and even divine power, it will not be detected and located.

"Oh, then you can just look for it." Marta glanced at the surrounding situation.

Her eldest sister, second sister, and third sister have gone out for this large-scale kidnapping against the alliance and are no longer here.

The fourth sister of the wanderer who stayed at the base camp died not far in front of her. The sixth sister was the first to encounter him and is now missing.

The subordinates around them, these strong backbones who had followed them for many years, were even more dead and injured, and they could not even make a cry alive.

The only thing she hoped for was that the three sisters could sense something was wrong here and rush back immediately.

"Then if you think they are here, you can go search for them. There are indeed slaves and hostages we captured down there, but you can see if there are Fleur and Ellie." Marta couldn't help laughing.

It was as if he was mocking the man in front of him, who was trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but was in vain.

"Originally, you could make a deal with us and exchange the location of our lair for the two of them. But now it's too late."

As she spoke, Marta looked at Zhao Xu with extremely ferocious eyes, "They are probably very important to you. When my sisters come back, they will go to the secret place to punish those two prostitutes."

"They are now unscathed, but because of your current actions, they will never want to live a good life again."

"Just wait. A month later, you may see them in the lowest brothel with their faces disfigured and their hands and feet cut off."

As she spoke, Marta looked at Zhao Xu with extremely proud eyes, expecting his painful and worried look.

But Zhao Xu remained extremely calm, as if the other party was just threatening the flowers and plants.

It turns out there is another hiding place.

In other words, the six sisters' treasure trove.

Suddenly a possibility flashed through Zhao Xu's mind, and he disdainfully said, "I don't believe you dare to slap the alliance's face like this."

Kidnapping is one thing, but torture to the point of disability is another.

As Zhao Xu spoke, he started the skill of "covering up spells", and the spellcasting movements turned into dancing with his fingertips.

At the same time, he also activated the "silence" ring in his hand to conceal the sound.

This made Marta look like he had simply changed the position of the badge on his chest.

But in fact, at this time, Zhao Xu had completed the third-level paladin and fourth-level priest spell "Discerning Lies."

As Zhao Xu's focused attention fell on Marta, who was sitting on the sand with a lifeless look, he faintly gained the ability to tell whether the other party was lying.

Marta already knew that her life was as weak as a candle in the strong wind and could be extinguished at any time.

With difficulty breathing, her hatred for the executioner in front of her continued to grow, and she suddenly cursed: "Stop pretending to be stupid, Tang De dares to send you here, are you really pretending to be like a little white sheep? You don't understand anything?" "

"It was Tang De who broke his promise first and took action!"

[Appraisal: Not a lie]

Listening to this inconsistent dialogue, Zhao Xu did not show any confusion at all. Instead, he couldn't help but smile. He looked confident, and he looked like Tang De's confidant.

The magical skill of "detecting lies" does not reveal the truth, nor can it detect unintentional mistakes or last resort excuses.

As long as Marta felt she was not lying, the spell would not be revealed.

At this moment, Zhao Xu stood on the loess soil stained with blood, looking in front of the fifth sister Marta, who was arranged to torture slaves and hostages because she was not very smart.

He bent down and said, "Isn't it just Kuroze? What's the big deal? He's just a dog under Commander Tang De."

"You are not allowed to insult my father!" Marta suddenly shouted!

She almost bit her teeth into pieces. If her legs had not been injured by Zhao Xu, she would have climbed up and bit Zhao Xu at this moment.

[Appraisal: Not a lie]

The dynamic column still coldly fed back the results of the spell to Zhao Xu.

But Zhao Xu stood here in a daze for a while.

It turns out that the "treasure of the underground forces in Oru City" that Kuroze told him before he died was essentially the "treasure hiding place" of the six sisters themselves.

Their father-daughter relationship makes everything indistinguishable.

Obviously, the business goddess in the city can guarantee the storage of money.

Kuroze also had to take off his pants and fart to store his property. Naturally, he had "large amounts of property from unknown sources" and many "magic items" that needed to be hidden secretly.

Even the six sisters who squatted there from time to time could avenge Zhao Xu once they encountered him.

Many, many things all make sense after being strung together by this thread.

Why did the six sisters take the risk of kidnapping Tang De's wife and daughter? They were using their abilities to warn him and to ask him for an answer.

Because with Kuroze's ability in Oru City, after ruling out many suspicions, only Tang De can achieve such "flawless".

Let them suspect that Tang De is the mastermind behind this.

If Tang De's explanation could prove that it was not him, it would satisfy the six sisters. Then it wouldn't be a problem for them to direct a heroic rescue operation to make Tang De's prestige even higher.

At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head, he was still a little immature.

Before Zhao Xu showed up, anyone in the entire city of Oru was likely to be the candidate to kill "Kuluoze".

After Zhao Xu jumped out of the banquet, no one thought about what happened that night.

But Tang De, who had mastered the entire intelligence of Oru City, knew very well that this was done by outsiders.

Naturally, the new Zhao Xu is the most suspicious.

So this time Tang De arranged for him to escort the exchanged hostages to the destination agreed upon by the six sisters.

Essentially, he was put in the trap of a tiger, and the elders of the six sisters used magic, blood ties, and even divine grace to test whether he was the real murderer.

As a lord, there is no fear that he will not enter the game.

And if he is not, a player with the highest level who has proven that he can kill everyone without relying on artifacts is also worth using the position of "Lord" to win over.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu walked up to the fourth of the six dead bandit sisters.

This rogue who specialized in latent assassination was indeed the most threatening person he encountered after entering this cave lair.

It's just a magic dagger, but it's not enough to tear away the "100% damage" cancellation ability of Zhao Xu's "Star Cloak".

Before the power of Zhao Xu's cloak is leaked, all those who assassinate him at close range will pay a bloody lesson.

"The dead talk."

After squatting down, Zhao Xu silently stretched out his fingers to touch the opponent's forehead to cast this spell.

Anyway, it is the instinctive conversation with the corpse, and the presence or absence of the soul does not matter.

"Haha, naive, do you think we haven't considered the consequences of being captured? Why do you think our base camp can be preserved for so long? Do you think it is really a gift from God?" Mata Bing did not miss this opportunity to mock Zhao Xu. .

"interesting."

Zhao Xu nodded.

The spell he just used was to temporarily restore a little life and intelligence to a corpse, thereby realizing the possibility of conversation.

But the fourth sister in front of her had corpse spots all over her body, and her corpse mutated at an alarming rate.

"A bunch of pathetic people." Zhao Xu shook his head, "The moment she died, she was transformed into an undead zombie. It was obviously your eldest sister's plan. Just to prevent you from leaking secrets after your death, you have to fight hard enough."

"That's right, so don't even think about getting any news from me. I just want to wait until this moment to make you despair, hahaha..."

As she spoke, Marta continued to spit out black blood, bit the poisonous capsule hidden in her teeth, and committed suicide on the spot.

"I know where your treasure is hidden, isn't it under the Frost Falls on Black Blood Peak?"

Zhao Xu said suddenly.

Marta, who was about to lose consciousness, had her pupils wide open and kept pushing her legs hard, as if she wanted to get up.

"Strange why I know?"

"It's very simple. I killed Kuroze."

"Boom." After hearing this last sentence, Marta's legs lost strength, her eyes turned white and she stared straight at the gravel roof of the grotto, with an unbelievable and ferocious look on her face.

Zhao Xu touched his head. It seemed that murder was a bit cruel.

But then, just notify the Holy Guard Knights to come here to rescue the hostages.

As for him, he is going to his own harvest land.

The six sisters and Kuroze collected the "treasure" that they had been operating for many years.

I know it’s three chapters away, so I’ll make up for the 4k first.
