The Truth of Magic

Chapter 341 Promise About the Future

Career level can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of countless people. Even the simplest "Level 1 Priest" is an insurmountable barrier. When he comes to Graz'zt, it is a direct promise to him as a "Legendary Priest".

Arthur's priest, after reaching the legendary level, can cast "legendary magic".

The reproduction of the "Cursed Stele" that could be passed on by the "Archive Scholars" was a kind of legendary magic.

However, everything for a pastor comes from God, and part of his own efforts.

When a priest reaches "Legendary", the price God needs to pay is close to high, so there are not many legendary priests who really survive in the world.

Even if the succubus is close to the legend, it is only after superimposing its original "succubus" strength, the challenge level is close, and the succubus itself is only about the strength of a priest with seven rings.

At the same time, this was not the first time Zhao Xu heard about the temptation of the legendary "cake".

But it was definitely the most peaceful time in his heart.

When Antinoya mentioned the legend to him, at least she kneaded the flour of the cake first, and waited for Zhao Xu to spend a lot of energy to "fry" it.

It's not like a headline party like Grazte who directly uploads a picture.

After all, the reputation of the abyssal demon is too bad.

The devil in hell at least knows how to abide by the "contract" on the surface, and is deeply restrained by the power of "order".

All the devils and demons who can betray their own camp are countless existences in history.

In particular, Zhao Xu thought of the description in the book "Overview of the Abyss Lord" that he read that time, Graz'zt liked to bring inhuman creatures such as lions, succubi, and six-armed snakes when he went in and out.

Not to mention that Zhao Xu himself had been educated in kindness since he was a child. Later, Grazte gave him the rank of priest and turned him into a creature like a succubus, so he wanted to cry without tears.

Especially the succubus itself has a common name in Arthur - the banshee who absorbs the essence.

According to the rumors, the high-ranking priests under Grazte are all women, which makes people feel even more chilly.

Not to mention that he became the other party's priest, directly controlling life and death.

So Zhao Xu never considered Grazte's suggestion from beginning to end.

Instead, what made him curious was the other party's motives.

After all, he is not in a situation where soldiers are approaching the city. It is the opponent who suppresses him. Instead of him, Zhao Xu went to the abyss, copied to Grazte's lair, and directly threatened to force the other party to take some action.

Ever since the succubus priest showed up and led away the power of most of the "priests", Graz'zt has been making arrangements, seeking an opportunity to meet him.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu seemed to have been splashed with cold water all over his body.

From the time he entered Arthur, one thread in Zhao Xu's way of thinking remained unchanged.

Even if sometimes he is led away by the situation, he still insists on this philosophy.

In layman's terms, if a road can be reached directly, why do we need to take a detour?

Really want to negotiate with him, or recruit him as a younger brother, after Zhao Xu and Arturia's "coordination" is over, until he returns to Mystra, and then goes out to find the mage tower, he spends a lot of time in the process of The state of wandering alone.

Grazte had many spies on Arthur's surface. Whether it was him projecting himself, or letting the priest or other agents, he had enough opportunities to get in touch with Zhao Xu.

It doesn't have to be in such an urgent time.

It was as if, in order to keep a certain classmate from having a meal, he directly declared that there was a bomb on the plane that the other party was about to board.

Too much force.

Explain that the other party must contact him at this moment, or even later, it may expire and become invalid.

Zhao Xu, who had planned to refuse at the worst, suddenly became curious after thinking about it, "A transaction is like two sides of a silver coin. I'm afraid I don't have the life to get the reward of a legendary priest."

Hearing Zhao Xu's resignation, the green light in Graz'zt's eyes became even brighter, and he said with a bewitching smile, "Don't worry, we demons are not like humans who fight for the day and night. Endless life makes time The scale of that is fuzzy to us, and often our trades span generations of your human family."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he actually wanted to sarcastically say, I believe you are a big-headed ghost.

They were in a hurry to stop him before he left the church, and it was time to wait.

"But, Old Ge, you still haven't told me what I need to pay." Zhao Xu didn't want the other party to blur the focus.

And this demon lord, although it was only his own projection descending on Arthur, and his own power was greatly restricted, but he was still a little surprised to hear Zhao Xu call it that, as if it was just a chat between friends.

Those powerful mages on weekdays, even if they have been promoted to legend, are still polite to him.

And some arrogant adventurers, if they were lucky enough to break into the Silver Palace, would indeed shout a few unkind words at him.

Usually he will be turned into the lowest level coward, and then put into the bloody battlefield to become the fertilizer of the land.

It took a long time before Grazte regained his original smile, "Mr. Zhong Xia, I just need your promise sometime in the future."

In an instant, the fog in Zhao Xu's mind was swept away by these words, and the sea and sky became vast.

Even in this short second, Zhao Xu felt the slight tremor of the fragments of the god of death in the depths of his heart.

A lot of vague memory fragments, like glass bottles shattered on the ground, turned into silver chips, were swept away vigorously, and entered his heart.

Zhao Xu was very clear.

Graz'zt needs a promise from him.

A promise that had to be made at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Mystra, a promise that had to be made before he left the church today.

No matter how strictly he modified and limited the scope of application of this promise, the other party just needed such a chance.

50% is to let him be a boy, 50% is to let him hand over something.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu seemed to see his whole body, as if there were faint threads of contract oaths connecting him.

Zhao Xu seemed to be a puppet, drawn by these tiny silver threads. Slowly, these threads all pointed to a certain position.

It wasn't the "Lei An" pretending to be in front of him, but the completely unfathomable black shadow behind the other party.

"Master, this is the oath of the will of the abyss." Lux, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly woke up after getting the fragment of the godhead.

"Here, Lux, you always show up so 'timely'." Knowing that life and death were at stake, Zhao Xu still couldn't help but want to complain about this magical weapon that sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared.

"Hey, master, you have to be patient. After a while, you can see a very cute Lux. And master, you have to speed up the progress of the upgrade, which will also help me integrate the god of death as soon as possible. Fragments." Lacus said in a cheerful tone, not caring about Zhao Xu's words at all.

"These are the ones you showed me?" Zhao Xu finally got back to the topic.

From Grazte's point of view, Zhao Xu was lowering his head in thought at this moment, as if wondering whether to consider accepting its suggestion.

"That's right, master. The problem now is that no matter how much you dare to be hypocritical, or say a few words, the space created by Graz'zt will become an established reality. At that time, he will let you give up the godhead you have obtained." , you can only do this." Lux said with a serious tone.

"I know."

Zhao Xu also looked solemn at this time.

After he had just figured it out, between him and the abyss lord, Graz'zt, he dared not say a word of nonsense, for fear that the other party would misinterpret it into some kind of explanation.

"Lax, do you have a way to get me out of here?" Now that Lax appeared, Zhao Xu also turned to this artifact that automatically took refuge in him.

"Hmm..." After hearing Zhao Xu's question, Lacus fell into deep thought.

"Master, there is mainly a problem."

"How to say?"

"Master, I am an artifact."

"What?"

"Master, how do you have the confidence to challenge God with the things God created for you?"

"Lax, I suddenly doubt your status in the seven prophecies."

"Hey, master, if you don't look at you, you're only the third ring, so what kind of opponents do you meet?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu was also helpless. After all, Arthur is not a game that simply fights monsters based on levels, and those monsters will not honestly stand according to their own levels and divide them into regions.

Walking on an adventurous wilderness, it is also a common way of death among players to be sprayed to death by a bad dragon passing by.

"How?" Suddenly, Grazte interrupted Zhao Xu's thoughts, and his tone began to be a little cold.

"Actually, you don't have to think about procrastinating, someone will save you." Grazte seemed to be full of confidence, "Or are you just that afraid to violate the will of your goddess?"

After Zhao Xu listened, he didn't respond at all.

After seeing the layers of threads coming from fate, he already knew that the devil just wanted to induce him to delay the "false promise" for time.

It can be said that from the beginning of the communication between the other party and oneself,

It is already in the layout.

In order to let himself get used to this atmosphere, he finally agreed casually.

"Master, do you have a token of the goddess or something? Throwing it out may have some effect." Lux suddenly suggested.

keepsake?
