The Truth of Magic

Chapter 338 Bait

After Leian blurted out, novice players may still be a little confused.

But the original priests Blanche, Matthew, etc., including the two six-ring sorcerers who followed to intercept the succubus, all stared deeply at the "Legendary Necromancer Staff" held tightly in Zhao Xu's hand.

Then his eyes fell on Zhao Xu again, as if he was about to analyze something.

The shape of the wand itself is the style of the Necromancer faction, which is made up of finger bones one after another. It will give you a creepy feeling when you see it in the middle of the night.

Usually, Zhao Xu didn't need it, and he wouldn't put it next to his pillow to sleep on it. He basically carried it in his backpack and only stuck it around his waist when he was adventurous.

If it doesn't have any magic power, the priests of the goddess will think it is an evil magic weapon and destroy it after touching it, and most goddess priests will not carry this kind of staff that looks so evil.

It's just that now, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable looking at this staff, they are also secretly shocked by its price and the wear and tear behind it.

For a while, speculation about Zhao Xu's identity was even more imaginative. It would be too extravagant for the descendants of the giants of the Mage Association to dispatch such resources.

According to a secret adventurer's strategy record, and according to the oral and written statistics of countless adventurers over thousands of years, an average encounter with a monster of level 20 challenge level, the wealth that can be harvested is expected to be about 80,000 gold coins.

Going out to gain something other than fame, how many times do you have to kill the "deep hell demon" in exchange for the wealth that can buy this staff?

"No, we players are poor and have never seen the world. Why are these senior priests and mages looking surprised? Could it be that millions of gold coins are the ceiling of magic equipment in this world?"

"It's hard to say. I have never heard of a piece of equipment that can cost millions of gold coins. Two hundred thousand is already an exaggeration."

After listening to the analysis of several observant players around, a player who sat in the middle and re-opened his account from a paladin to a priest, wearing an initial blue linen shirt, said with emotion: "One million gold coins can be used for a lifetime. In fact, it is not expensive, and even a lot of magic equipment itself is passed down as family heirlooms."

For Arthur, the "full body armor" of thousands of gold coins is equivalent to the "house" of the earth, and the giant sword of fifty to hundreds of gold coins and the refined giant sword are equivalent to the "car" of the earth. In this way, ordinary civilians can fight back and forth with professional warriors.

And further up, both the durability and the power of the "magic items" have been greatly improved, and they are also very valuable "heirlooms" in Arthur. Ordinary families can only inherit weapons and armor and the like.

So after all the people crossed, giving a piece of magic equipment, even if it was a few thousand gold coins, was an extremely valuable gift.

"Then how handsome I am if I have this staff. A succubus that is close to legend, if you say drive away, you will be driven away. If you don't leave, you will be killed." A trainee priest player saw the staff in Zhao Xu's hand , even if the shape is a little strange, his heart is swaying.

If they sell this kind of equipment to local tyrants, they will get back millions of dollars in wealth.

"No, you are not willing to use it." The original linen shirt priest retorted, "If it is only a few million gold coins, those priests will be amazed, but they will not stay for such a long time. With this situation they There are still."

Hearing this, several trainee priests around immediately cast their eyes on this player, and even Zheng Xinyun, who didn't care much about gossip, couldn't help but listen.

"Because there are only 50 shots in the staff. Except for a few staffs, most of the staffs are no different from burning fire sticks after the energy is consumed."

"That is to say, this staff, even if it is calculated based on the minimum of 1 million gold coins, 50 rounds of energy cost an average of 20,000 gold coins per round. If it is the kind that consumes two rounds of energy at a time, then using a spell will cost 40,000 double. Gold coins. Are you willing to burn one magic equipment at a time?"

When the linen shirt priest finished speaking, the players around him became silent, and they didn't even dare to look at the staff in Zhao Xu's hand.

That kind of thing, every time it is used, if the cost is not recovered, it is an extremely extravagant prodigal.

At this time, Leian also noticed the rhythm of the players' uproar and silence, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this time, he looked at the few remaining people and said in a low voice: "If the church can't find the succubus within an hour, it will beg for a miracle."

Leian himself came from the Mage Association, so he didn't have a deep feeling about it, but the priests standing opposite all blushed and showed shame when they heard this.

Obviously being played by a succubus with artifacts and abyssal power to this point, they all gritted their teeth and wanted revenge.

However, Zhao Xu understood that this was actually justifiable.

In fact, if he hadn't gone looking for Peter's trace today, he would have obtained information about the succubus.

So today, the headquarters of the Goddess Church will be like many incidents that have erupted in churches in history. Something is missing or someone is missing, and then it causes an investigation but nothing happens. Even that loophole can be reused.

The original events may not be known until many years later, after the factors of the year roll up the aftermath.

But today, at least they have blocked the original purpose of the succubus, and even at this time, the way the other party exploits the loopholes will be patched and then blocked, so that other major churches and organizations will follow after getting the information.

This is actually equivalent to the abyssal forces, sacrificing a "loophole" indicator in their hands, although this "loophole" is definitely not the only one on the other side.

It depends on whether the succubus can take advantage of today's "loophole" and exchange for something of sufficient value.

When Zhao Xu and the others interviewed the old priest, Zhao Xu would be able to tell that the succubus was actually a player disguised as a trainee priest if he stayed longer.

That's why the succubus priest showed up and shot Zhao Xu brazenly at that time.

It itself also chose to kill Zhao Xu when the original goal could not be achieved, in order to waste this loophole in exchange for the final benefit.

Being able to satisfy "Grazzt" and make the abyss lord happy, the succubus might be able to get even more benefits.

As for the "blasphemy" attacking and killing other trainee priests, it was just an extra to kill Zhao Xu.

Lei An was looking at Zhao Xu intently at this moment, obviously he also understood the logic of the whole process.

With the entire Sacred Heart Cathedral on full alert, the succubus has few options to get back his money. After all, he is hated by the abyss lord "Grazet" and is weak enough to let the succubus easily The people who were killed were actually Zhao Xu and a few others.

That's why Lei An has been chatting and beating up with Zhao Xu since he arrived, instead of trying to track down the enemy.

Because his task has changed to "protection".

After confirming with the church, his first priority was to leave with the "Zhao Xu" time bomb.

"Blanche, Matthew, you stay here and take care of them. As for Zhong Xia, you can go with me." Leian said at this time and gently waved to the two who followed him at the beginning, signaling to follow.

Seeing that Leian was about to leave, the elderly pastor who was in charge of teaching and guiding said quickly, "Master Leian, don't these trainee pastors need to be arranged to go to a safe place?"

But Leian waved his hand directly, "If the succubus could replace it with avatars without restriction, then we would have asked for divine power to come down. It won't do anything to you again, or in other words, you are the ones who have left us." Really safe, and Blanche and Matthew themselves will stay to protect you."

At this time, Zhao Xu quickly stepped up and followed Lei An closely.

The succubus didn't try to hide it in other ways, but attacked him brazenly, which meant that the other party had made a decision.

At this time, Zhao Xu was no longer a fisherman, but also a fish caught in the opposite direction. Naturally, he had to follow Lei An every step of the way.

But when he left, he still looked back at the group of trainee pastors.

They didn't know that he had to come back to give lectures these few days, but it was a bit embarrassing at that time.

Because of the cathedral fan lock, once you leave, the spiritual link is easily broken.

Therefore, when Lei An came back this time, he re-arranged the "spiritual link" for Zhao Xu to communicate with each other.

"What's your plan next?" Zhao Xu looked at Lei An as if he had no destination, and led him around floor to floor, and asked.

"What else can I do, divine power is so domineering, you can always hide if you can't provoke it." Leian also felt a little powerless at this moment.

"Or do you wonder why I took you away, or didn't bring you back to the base camp quickly?"

Zhao Xu gently smoothed the ruts on the black sacrificial robe, "If it wants to attack me, it will definitely come back. If so, why should I stay there and implicate others."

"As for not going back to a safe place, do you want the succubus to continue to target me?" Zhao Xu analyzed.

"That's right, although it sounds a bit cruel, it is indeed the situation. For this, the church will compensate you." Leian said, "This compensation will give you one more life from now on, but there is a small price .”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn't have much opinion. In fact, if he hadn't had such a heavy identity, he might have been fooled from beginning to end until the end of the whole incident.

In fact, if ordinary people don't know the truth, they don't have to worry about it.

Rights correspond to obligations, and Zhao Xu received a lot of resource support from the beginning.

But now, the church asked him to stand up to seduce and delay the time, and it was his responsibility to keep the succubus from attacking other trainee priests.

"It's just that I'm a little strange." At this time, Zhao Xu also took the opportunity to ask his own questions.

"What's wrong?"

"I can understand that I didn't pray for the goddess' miracles at the beginning. After all, it wasn't the abyss lord who came to me, but just a legendary succubus. But at this point of labor, the church still insists on not begging for miracles, isn't it? Is there a deeper reason?"

After Zhao Xu came out, he had already heard the commotion nearby, and now the commotion was not small at all.

At this moment, Lei An re-confirmed that the "spiritual link" only existed directly between him and Zhao Xu.

After making sure that Zhao Xu is Zhao Xu himself, he let go, "Next, you have to keep this secret for me."
