The Truth of Magic

Chapter 196 Random Artifact (13)

Zhao Xu was at peace when he heard such an explosive inside story.

In fact, there were many speculations and rumors about the power of the earth in the previous life, and many people thought it had something to do with the seventh prophecy.

But everyone doesn't know the details of the seventh prophecy at all, and all guesses can only be superficial.

However, compared to the fact that the seventh prophecy pointed to a future main god, Zhao Xu suddenly became slightly pessimistic about Wang Ningwei.

There is no other reason, Wang Ningwei jumped out too early, even though the force behind her is the huge mage association.

If there are only two players on the chessboard, it must be the one who makes the first move and gradually oppresses.

But when there are multiple players on the board, sometimes making a fortune in silence is the better way to win.

Showing up too early will only make all the remaining forces that are not dominant adjust their spearheads and target them in unison.

After all, everyone wants the earth candidate selected by their own forces to become the ultimate main god, and no matter how bad it is, it cannot be a hostile force.

In this case, when Wang Ningwei was already outstanding in her previous life, it was the most obvious thorn in the side for those forces who knew the zeroth prophecy and tried to intervene in arranging agents.

For example, Zhao Xu might be the candidate in the first prophecy, as long as he hides Lux well, he can last forever. Even when he is too good, he has to get rid of others' suspicion that he is the main god candidate in the seventh prophecy.

Just as Zhao Xu was thinking about it, he had already walked back to the original crossroads. Zhao Xu originally set up a "magic alarm" here, close to the other three intersections.

From just now until now, this alarm has not been acted on.

Although the "deep hell demon" has spell resistance, the "magic alarm" ignores the immunity and spell resistance. Anyone who walks into the warning area without precaution will trigger it.

"The 'deep hell fiend' is right in the middle of the intersection, and it hides in that altar to perform its rituals. These devils who come to the main material plane are very uncreative, and every time they arrive, they just think about what to do The portal to another world, and I don't want to think about whether I have this ability." Lux said to Zhao Xu through her psychic ability.

"I go to the altar to trigger your transformation artifact?" Zhao Xu asked.

He had the experience of using the "Mind Link" ability to communicate with Antinoya and Leian before, and he was familiar with this process.

"That's right, this is a requirement of the ceremony." Lux said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu felt a headache.

For mages, the most annoying thing is unpredictability.

This means that even his specific battle plan has to be based on many unknowns.

"However, you have six chances." Suddenly Lux said in a flattering tone.

six times?

Zhao Xu came to his senses immediately: "Won't I be resurrected in Mystra?"

The resurrection stone was born to be sent back to the city, and any accident happened to him, he would be resurrected near the temple in the big town.

"The resurrection is in the nearby temple." Lacus smiled triumphantly, her tone seemed to be very proud. She thought about Zhao Xu, "Then master, you only need to wait in the temple for another week until my ability recovers, and then you can continue for the second time." test."

"I can't go out for a week?"

"It can't be done. The ceremony itself rejects the participation of any outsiders and external forces. When new forces intervene, perhaps in order to complete the ceremony, master, you have to challenge the lords of hell."

Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little overplayed.

According to Lux's reminder, after his death, when he was resurrected in the Temple of Creation, he could choose to be resurrected in the temple of Naraku, the god of death, relying on the altar that was still barely in operation.

"Try it three to five times. If the fifth resurrection stone fails, I'll go back to Mystra." Zhao Xu said.

After all, this number is not easy to come by. If he can't win the game of binding the "Eternal Hallows", if he becomes one of the possible candidates for the "Lord God" in the prophecy, he will stop the loss in time.

In fact, it doesn't take the fifth time. After the third resurrection stone is used, Zhao Xu will make a decision based on the details of the challenge, whether to fight until the fifth resurrection stone.

If the scene really does not exceed a 10% winning rate, then there is no need for him to fight for the last two resurrection stones with the mentality of a gambler.

"Master, don't worry, the artifact that Lux incarnates is still very strong." At this time, Lux also started to promote herself.

"Because, all the uncertain things, as the will of the artifact, I can be sure." Lux said.

Uncertainty?

Zhao Xu was suddenly very keen on this term, and then he remembered the deck of cards he had seen in Storage Room 1 of Ital's legacy.

"If you transform the Vientiane Impermanence card, can you make sure I have drawn certain cards?" Zhao Xu asked.

"No." Lux immediately interrupted Zhao Xu's fantasy, "Because the Vientiane Impermanence card itself is certain, and there are all twenty-two cards. What is uncertain is you who draw the cards, not me who are the cards themselves. .So I can't change your own uncertainty."

After listening to this somewhat convoluted explanation, Zhao Xu decided to give up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the transformation artifact.

"Master, I suggest you wait for the first time or choose random transformation, try to make the artifact last longer." Lux suggested.

"You mean to bet that a blind cat meets a dead mouse?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Wow, master, it's the first time that master finally looks like a mage." Lux continued to flatter, but it sounded harsh.

At this time, Zhao Xu also thought deeply.

He only knew the standard data of the "Deep Hell Refining Demon". He actually didn't know whether the other party had a part-time job level or not.

Therefore, the target's "deep hell refining demon" may be stronger than imagined.

Even if the other party worked as a level 20 mage part-time, then Zhao Xu could go home and give up the bonding ceremony when the first resurrection stone was used up.

There is a 30% possibility of Lux's transformation orientation, and the price is that the duration is very short, even if the result of the transformation artifact is not what he wants, he still has to bear the short-term price.

But Zhao Xu only needed to deform the same artifact in the three resurrection stones.

Basically, the expectation of his chosen target artifact appearing once in three transformations is 90%, which is enough.

So Zhao Xu could arrange the second to fourth times as short-term directional transformations.

The first time was a random transformation, simply relying on the long-term effect of the artifact to explore the situation of the abyssal demon.

And, as Lux said, try your luck.

The short-term artifact effect may only last for a few rounds. He must squeeze every round of actions to the limit, and the error tolerance rate is very low.

Even if Zhao Xu got the artifact Zhao Xu wanted in the first round of directional transformation, he basically didn't have a high chance of winning in the face of demons who might have other means.

This is why Lux didn't suggest that the first four times in a row were directional transformations.

Anyway, it's just a trial, just try it for a long time, maybe there is still a possibility of winning.

After thinking about this, Zhao Xu also walked straight towards the road ahead, until he reached the extremely dark stone gate.

At this time, Zhao Xu gently pressed his hand on the Naraku holy emblem pattern in the middle of Shimen. It was a huge sickle, which symbolized the harvest of life.

"My lord dies."

Zhao Xu read the password that Lacus told him.

There are too many shielding ritual spells arranged in the place where the altar is located, even if you use the "Phase Gate" to penetrate in, you will suffer counterattack from the altar.

The only safest way is to touch Naraku's holy emblem and read out this password.

The originally dark holy emblem suddenly burst into a crimson light, and the sickle seemed to be forged red, and then a teleportation force injected into Zhao Xu's body through the holy emblem.

The next moment, Zhao Xu appeared in a huge dome-domed sacrificial hall, surrounded by a row of fallen stone statues of Naraku, the god of death.

They all have different shapes, symbolizing the image of Naraku in different periods, only the sickle is always around.

And the one in the middle is an altar that is emitting a faint red light. In front of the altar, there is a nearly four-meter-high pit demon standing.

The whole body of the deep hell fiend is covered with crimson scales, with the flames burning on them, and the huge wings wrap most of the body from behind.

The mouth of the deep hell fiend was all open, and a row of sharp fangs exuded a stench, and two of the most prominent fangs had already touched the chin, and green slurry kept dripping down the fangs.

At the same time, thick black smoke kept coming out of its thick nostrils, as if its body was filled with hot magma.

At this time, the deep prison demon also noticed Zhao Xu's arrival and stared at him with a murderous look.

"Transform!" Zhao Xu ordered Lux ​​immediately.

In an instant, the "energy-inhibiting skin" on Zhao Xu's whole body disappeared, turning into a mysterious blue light that reached the dome of the sky.

Immediately after that group of energy condensed and turned into lightning, it struck down, and the deep and cold arc light illuminated the entire sacrificial hall.

After the blue lightning fell in front of Zhao Xu, it immediately took shape.

As streams of information poured into his body, Zhao Xu already understood what it was.

An artifact that allows ordinary people who don't know spells to cast the spells recorded on it——
