Hearing this, Zhao Xu was still a little stunned even though his heart was as calm as the sky was falling.
not dead
How did the Yiter dynasty become extinct? How could the final "lost legacy" affect the minds of countless careerists
Just the treasures of the underground organization leader Kuroze and the six sisters obtained in the alliance capital of Orlu made Zhao Xu very rich.
Although he later learned that the lost inheritance was essentially the "fake treasury" set up by Ernest back then.
The treasure house was later borrowed by Matthews, the old man in front of him, who inherited the surname of Antinoya, and eventually created the "Iter Dynasty".
Later, the treasure house returned to Antinoya's hands. He even called Antinoya "sister" to deceive the treasure house and went in to choose the "Star Cloak" he was currently equipped with.
However, no matter how Zhao Xu imagined it, he still had a hard time understanding how the legendary wise and mighty founder of the dynasty could be related to the old man in front of him.
Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Antinoya's still tender skin, the slightly invisible girlish hair on her cheeks that had not yet faded away, and then looked at the old man Matthews, half of his body already buried in the ground.
He couldn't help but wonder, Ernest wasn't so partial back then
Just cast "Timeless Trace" on Antinoya, but not cast it on the coachman who was given a surname in his own family
Zhao Xu has already recalled several spells in his mind.
Just by relying on the Druid's four-ring magic "Final Breath", he can now replace the old man's body with a younger one without losing his character level or physique.
Then use "Prayer" to solve the problem of random races.
"Do you think it's weird?"
The old man maintained a humble smile at this time and smiled at Zhao Xu. His eyes were deep, as if he could completely see through Zhao Xu's thoughts.
Looking at this old man Matthews, who was a real figure in history and even the "protagonist" in many heroic historical novels, Zhao Xu slightly combined his legs and stood up straighter.
He still has the respect that should be shown to elders.
"No." Zhao Xu said.
"Actually, this is also a curse." Old Matthews joked.
"curse?"
"That's right, Emperor Ernest looked around Arthur for a whole thousand years. He forced the powers of the gods to the point where they couldn't even take a step out of the temple."
The old man seemed to be caught in memories at this time, and his eyes began to fill with muddy tears, making people feel his endless remembrance.
"So, after Emperor Ernest disappeared that year, the gods made a covenant. The God of Death would use his divine power to give all future kings in the world, cursing their inevitable decline." The old man Matthews said, and couldn't help but cover his head. He coughed into his mouth.
"So I lost the ability to live forever. Even if I change my body, even if I use spells such as 'Eternal Stasis' to fake death, it can't delay the aging of my body and soul."
"The only thing I can rely on for my aging body is to use legendary spells to keep delaying the day I die of old age. Naturally, the aging of my body cannot be delayed."
The old man Matthews said with a calm expression, without any hint of sadness.
"Why is it so serious?"
Zhao Xu found it hard to imagine.
But he also immediately realized that even for a race like elves, which is naturally long-lived, the king's reign will not exceed a hundred years.
There are even very few emperors who are born as mages.
The legendary Eastern Earth mage they encountered before named "Ying Ergou", in terms of seniority, the current Eastern Earth Emperor may only be his grandson for more than ten generations.
It turns out that this curse is at work.
Seeing that Zhao Xu was a little stunned, the old man continued to explain, "Perhaps you can't imagine that before Ernest came to the land of Arthur. In that dark age when people drank blood, skinned and tattooed as temple canvases, cut off Skulls were used as sacrificial vessels for sacred rituals, and leg bones were used as sacrificial staffs. These barbaric behaviors were completely normal at that time."
"One unintentional blasphemous word may cause the entire village to be destroyed and everyone was trapped and killed."
"Passengers who do not believe in the gods will be slaughtered at will."
The old man fell silent as he spoke, "The moment I was born, I was originally going to fulfill my father's oath to the gods and use the flesh and blood of my young son to feed the gods."
"Just before I was about to be thrown into the pan, the witch who delivered the baby discovered that my mother had another child in her belly. In the end, my twin brother took over my fate, and I survived."
"It was Master who ended the era when the gods were barbaric, ended the era when human lives were inferior to pigs and dogs, and restricted the bloody side of divine power."
"He made the gods have to conform to their own beliefs about their godhead, and no longer be chaotic and inexplicable evil gods. This is the real wealth he gave to Arthur and left behind."
Zhao Xu fell silent.
Even as a legendary mage, Arthur may not be able to be so calm.
Even though Matthews knew the existence of this "curse", he was still determined to create a dynasty, and even Antinoya lent him the fake treasury.
One can imagine how critical the crisis was.
In this regard, Zhao Xu also silently nodded to show respect to the old man who once guarded this land.
In an instant, the old man's face seemed to be smiling. He waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, no, after all, the original intention he left behind was for me to protect the young lady and maintain a dormant posture when the real dawn comes."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Zhao Xu, Antinoya's student, and the joy on his eyebrows could not be concealed.
"Very good. Compared with what I have seen before, you have broken through to the fourth ring so quickly. I'm afraid the fifth ring is not far ahead." The old man Matthews said with emotion, "After the magic network became the essence of the world, you This kind of breakthrough speed can be said to be rare in the world, even among players."
"That's ridiculous." Zhao Xu said politely.
He has consumed so many "cheating" resources, and if he can't level up as well as others, that would be too much.
"However, I also hope that Mr. Zhongxia can give me some advice, Miss." Suddenly the old man Matthews changed the subject and said.
"Huh?" Zhao Xu was surprised.
However, he would not comment too much until he knew the ins and outs.
"Ah."
Antinoya waved his hands indifferently and turned sideways to face them, "I have to go to the Nine Hells myself after all."
"Miss."
At this time, the old man Matthews said eagerly, "The master said before he left that he would leave you a back-up in the 'bottomless realm' at the deepest point of the endless abyss, enough for you to run rampant in it."
"But the master of the ninth floor, Asmodeus, is an existence that is hard for you and me to estimate. Even the master back then kept a distance from this immortal."
Zhao Xu also looked at Antinoya in surprise at this time. He did not expect that Antinoya had joked with him several times about going to fight in the abyss and hell, but now he actually followed through on it.
"Teacher, is there anything in hell that you must get?" Zhao Xu asked.
However, this time Antinoya did not answer directly, "I even suspect that you already knew some things, but you have been hiding them from me."
"In this case, I have to investigate it myself. And since the Nine Levels of Purgatory is so big, I may not necessarily run into the Lord of Hell on the spot."
Even though Antinoya was extremely indifferent and confident when facing the abyss lords, she also showed a hint of heaviness when she mentioned the Lord of the Nine Levels on the order side.
This made Zhao Xu think back even more.
When he met the legendary six-fingered "Graz'zt" in that confined space, he was rescued by the arrival of the goddess Sisylvina.
At that time, the other party also reminded him to pay attention to the Lord of Hell!
Rather than the top three "Graz'zt" among the abyss lords we just encountered.
"Miss. The 'Activation Cellar' told me that you took the artifact, 'Pale Justice', from the library." The old man Matthews said helplessly, "If you are not determined to fight with the opponent, Why do you need to use such an artifact that can penetrate conceptual defenses?"
Concept defense.
This was the first time Zhao Xu heard this word again after leaving the Floating City.
Just like his "Star Cloak" combined with "Reflection Savings", it is already very close to the concept of "immunity" to physical damage.
Like a golem, it has "magic immunity" and can ignore all spells that "need to overcome spell resistance".
After all, stacking up values until the opponent can't defeat you is not as powerful as ignoring them directly.
Immunity is the strongest defense.
At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Antinoya worriedly.
However, Antinoya shook her head angrily, "What a talkative activation cellar. I should have used a urinal as its body."
Only then did Zhao Xu realize that the treasure house he entered, the creature used to determine whether he was a descendant, was actually the legendary creature activation cellar!
Looking at the embarrassed old man Matthews and the determined Antinoya.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask, "Instructor, what are you going to ask? If Mr. Matthews knew, then he wouldn't have to go."
"Hmph." Antinoya said coldly at this time, "I just want to know whether my birth was designed."
"So I need to ask the soul that has become a devil."
