The Truth of Magic

Chapter 497 Looting

The Lord of the Northern Alliance in front of him looks like a mature middle-aged man in his forties, and the beard at the corner of his mouth is still somewhat charming.

In order to demonstrate the alliance's advocacy of force and its determination to defend the front line of the Icefield Mountains to the death, Tang De also specially wore a light chain mail chain shirt at the party this time, with a custom-made handle pinned to his waist representing the command of all alliance legions. Commander Sword".

He was the only one who showed off in the whole party, but no one would object to this behavior.

When you reach a high position, whether it is a word or a deed or a basic dress, there are meanings behind it.

At this time, Zhao Xu, looking at the Lord Tang De, whom he admired so much in his previous life and had never doubted from the bottom of his heart, felt the urge to throw the spell at that face for the first time.

Maybe it's just what Zhang Qi complained to him after crossing.

The moment he felt that he became the person he once hated was the moment when he knew that the other party was behind the scenes, but he was still able to sit down and negotiate a deal with peace of mind.

There is no doubt that Tang De must have a means similar to a spiritual barrier to protect himself at present.

Such as the "hidden eye" worth more than 100,000 gold coins can do this, which is also the basic magic item that the masters of Arthur's major organizations will equip.

"Mystra, Mage Association, Mage of the Four Rings, Midsummer."

At this moment, Zhao Xu introduced himself.

As he uttered each word, that not loud voice, like an extremely hot and hot iron, made the entire lake boil on the spot, spewing out countless bubbles, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.

"It's him?"

"The owner of the artifact?"

"What?"

"That's right, it was the mage who repelled the siege of hundreds of people that night. I remember it was called Zhong Xia."

The sounds of exclamation suddenly came one after another, as if waves were surging one after another, and all eyes in the venue were locked on Zhao Xu.

It's no wonder that these guests who already have a little status made a surprised sound at this moment.

Because the name "Zhong Xia" can be said to be the current hot spot in the league.

Especially the deeds he did after he came out caused a storm, and made people look forward to the power of the artifact.

Zhao Xu was a little surprised. He noticed that Tang De's gaze looking at him seemed to be shining with a golden light, and the original afterimage disappeared immediately.

It turned out that everyone didn't know.

"Wow, isn't that strong?"

"At this age, he is already a Master of the Four Rings, and I don't know which family he came from."

"Your news is slow. Others are players, and the current first person. You have absolutely given up on this thought."

Following the popularity of these words, the gazes of the noble girls in the banquet hall finally became calmer.

For these girls who have not yet faced the responsibility of marriage, tonight was originally a preliminary "search".

Countless outstanding young people gathered here in the high-level league of Oru City.

And what Zhao Xu said was that the magic weapon was so powerful and the sorcerer's reputation was so powerful, it was all false to these innocent girls.

However, he actually repelled hundreds of attackers who coveted the artifact that night, and his power proved that he was a first-class powerhouse.

This is what makes countless noble girls dream about it.

As for the possibility of wandering around the world following him, it may be a plus point for girls with heroic complexes.

But after hearing the identity of this player, many aristocratic girls who had just aroused their reveries were shattered.

Even many outstanding young people with dissatisfied gazes looked at Zhao Xu softly.

Only the guests who secretly sent someone to take action that night, and even made plans, silently looked at Zhao Xu and thought about the next plan.

At this moment, Zhao Xu understood why everyone's astonished gazes did not seem to be fake at all, or it was really the first time they heard him appear.

He couldn't help looking to the side who was smiling triumphantly, and it was Frey who had introduced him.

Obviously, from last night to now, Zhao Xu and others have not received any search and attention for detection spells, and it was Freire who put in the effort.

He concealed the news, insisting that the guards and city guards release the news a whole day late.

This also made Zhao Xu re-evaluate Freire's ability. In his previous life, his sister died in childbirth beside Tang De, and Frere was quickly excluded from the noble circle of the alliance.

Now it seems that to be able to stand firmly at the top for a period of time and make a name for himself, his methods will not be so simple.

"It's such an outstanding talent, I'm really blind."

At this moment, Tang De approached Zhao Xu directly, and a strong scent of incense came from him. Immediately, he firmly held Zhao Xu's hand, looking very happy and courteous as a corporal.

At the same time, he turned sideways, looked at the numerous guests in the banquet hall, and said loudly, "Everyone, I have something to announce here."

"Previously, the Palace of Eldraine fell from the sky and fell into the Twilight Forest and had a big explosion. At that time, there was a news from the center of the explosion that there was an artifact inside."

"Even the countless adventurers present all agreed that it was Mr. Zhong Xia who obtained the ultimate artifact."

At this time, Tang De only held Zhao Xu's arm and his shoulder, as if he was a nephew.

Following the reminder from Commander Tang De, the speculation of "artifact" that had been lingering in everyone's hearts was torn apart and spread out on the table.

And the players who were in charge of patrolling and guarding around the banquet hall couldn't help but relax their vigilance at this moment, and looked towards the high platform ahead.

One of the warrior players couldn't help muttering to himself, "This commander can't be so stupid, he thinks he can force our players to hand over the artifact right on the spot?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help pressing down on the standard long sword with one hand.

Immediately, the captain beside him pressed his hand covertly and stared at the impulsive player, "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"

After the two stared at each other like this, the player took back the long sword and explained, "No, I'm just on guard."

The warrior player who just started doing something wrong was a part-time job in the game. After thinking about it for a while, he still surrendered to the reality.

After seeing the opponent stop, the captain in charge of the guard team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These fearless players are indeed easy to use, but they also have their own tempers, and there are also some who draw their swords if they don't agree with each other, which makes him a headache.

After all, the players who were able to successfully screen and enter this high-level banquet hall were more or less candidates who were officially trusted by the alliance and even intentionally cultivated, so the opponent finally stopped.

However, he also became vigilant, and secretly gestured attention to the captain of the other team, who was born in Arthur's native country.

It seems that he still underestimated the prestige of the number one player like "Zhong Xia", and he could attract other players to help him by relying on his name.

At this time, Zhao Xu was put on the grill by Tang De, and he was somewhat surprised. In his impression, Tang De was not the kind of greedy and insatiable person, otherwise he would not be able to ascend to today's high position.

The devil took his faith and his soul after death, but he would not take away his brain.

When he disclosed to everyone that Zhao Xu had obtained the artifact, he must have his own intentions. It was not necessarily that he wanted him to openly hand in the artifact and then promise him a heavy responsibility.

"At that time, the team that successfully entered the artifact at the beginning of the explosion was basically thrown out of the palace when they ascended to heaven in the palace of Eldraine. That instant explosion damage."

"In the absence of internal witnesses, the original arrangement was broken in the Palace of Eldraine, and it took only two days to lift off. At that time, I also thought that Mr. Zhong Xia was the final winner and got the artifact , otherwise it would be impossible to explain that only Mr. Zhong Xia survived and ascended to heaven in advance."

Hearing this, the guests in the banquet hall were all aroused by the commander Tang De, and they all looked at the two people on the front desk in unison.

They have already vaguely noticed that there must be some secrets hidden inside at that time.

In the current alliance, many people were searching for Zhao Xu, not in the name of avenging the hundreds of people who attacked that night.

Instead, as the relatives and friends of the expedition team that entered the palace within six hours, they tried to find Zhao Xu and ask him to explain what happened inside and why all the adventurers who entered died, and only he survived. .

Sometimes it's a mistake not to die together.

When Zhao Xu heard Tang De's remarks, he relaxed. He already knew what Tang De meant.

It's actually trying to sell him in disguise like this.

"However, just now, the 'joint investigation team' formed by investigators sent by the alliance officials and many temples and even the Mage Association has reached a final conclusion."

"The results of this investigation are guaranteed by the many churches of good gods in the city of Oulu."

"The artifact 'Holy Breath' has been ascended to heaven with the Palace of Eldraine. If we really want to get it, we have to wait until the Palace of Eldraine comes down next time."

As soon as Tang De finished speaking, even if he raised his hand, he still couldn't suppress all the discussions in the field.

Waves of sound came and went, wave after wave, unable to accept this shocking news for a while. Even those engaged in news selling wanted to turn around on the spot and pass on the news.

Unexpectedly, no one got that "sacred breath"!

One can imagine how many legendary powerhouses it will attract the next time it lands.

Even in the next few decades, the alliance will inevitably set up guard towers near the explosion area to monitor, and will send back news if there is any change.

"I'm going, it's like this?" A monk player standing guard at the edge of the hall couldn't help but exclaimed. Under the light of the hall, there was still a greasy gleam on his shiny head.

"In this way, this mage Zhongxia is just like that. Without a divine weapon, he's not going anywhere." Another warrior player said dissatisfied.

"Fool." Immediately another person retorted.

"Where did I say wrong, he doesn't have a divine weapon, he doesn't have this kind of super-conceptual equipment, he has two eyes and one nose like us, and he has five resurrection stones just like us." The warrior player said in disbelief.

"So is it wrong for you to be stupid? Did you forget that the Great God Zhong Xia killed hundreds of people who were in ambush that night and managed to break out of the encirclement?"

"I'll give you a knife and let you kill five hundred pigs all over the mountains and plains, until your knife becomes blunt, and you won't be able to complete three-digit numbers."

"Not to mention, those who dared to ambush that night were all ruthless people who licked blood."

All of a sudden, the few players standing together in a row suddenly realized.

The mage Zhongxia in front of me doesn't have the slightest "artifact", but he has achieved an achievement unmatched among current players.

Single-handedly, they defeated an entire regiment-organized ambush team.

It's no exaggeration to say that such a fierce person is rampant in the alliance.

At first everyone thought it was an artifact, so that's all. Now that we know that it was done by a single player, then the forum and planning must be blown up.

"This kind of combat power is too exaggerated. Is Arthur really unbalanced?" A player couldn't help but sighed. He looked at Zhao Xu with helplessness.

"In general PVP games, it is already strong enough to be able to 1v2 and 1v3, but this is actually 1v1100." The man also took a deep breath as he spoke.

Because those ambushers are "adventurers" like them, not monsters like goblins.

Looking at the reactions of everyone in the audience, Tang De seemed very satisfied, and he patted Zhao Xu's shoulder vigorously, "Next, I have to announce something."

As he spoke, his voice rose, "Seeing how outstanding Mage Zhong Xia is, the love of talents in my heart can't be calmed."

"I declare that as long as I stay in this position for one day, our alliance will do our best to help Mr. Zhongxia obtain the artifact 'Holy Breath' when the Palace of Eldraine is next born."

As he spoke, Tang De raised Zhao Xu's hand vigorously.

The guests present immediately, whether they were high-level members of the alliance or the most ordinary guards standing on the side, all applauded, as if infected by Tang De's personal charm at this time.

Zhao Xu also smiled happily, as if he was very happy with this arrangement.

But he couldn't help muttering from the bottom of his heart. Sure enough, someone like Tang De who could climb up was not something to mess with.

The believers who believe in the demon lord Graz'zt are indeed extremely cunning.

In this way, he tied up Zhao Xu, who was most likely to get the artifact and who knew the most information.

But Zhao Xu didn't have the slightest psychological burden on him.

He is also helpless, Freire seems to protect his information too well.

He actually concealed the fact that he was the president of Falling Star Town of the Mage Association.

If you really want to "cooperate" with him to obtain that artifact, who can get past the Mage Association? Zhao Xu even noticed Freire's slightly changed expression from the corner of his eye at this moment.

Knowing how to pack an item, he successfully sent his sister to Tang De's harem.

Tonight's Zhao Xu was famous, so in order to achieve another blockbuster and let Zhao Xu see his ability, he blocked everything.

As a result, Tang De's impromptu move was immediately restrained by an unannounced news.

At this moment, Freire's throat moved slightly, and he was about to go forward and announce Zhao Xu's other identity.

Suddenly, the guard from behind ran in with an eager look on his face. His forehead was dripping with sweat, and he wanted to go forward to have a private chat with Tang De.

But this kind of rash appearance, leading Tang De's bodyguards, immediately stopped him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tang De said with a wave of his hand.

Freire just introduced Zhong Xia, which made him feel very happy, especially because he needed Zhao Xu to know the inside information of Ai Zhuo's palace.

In this way, he will be able to successfully complete the mission of his master immediately.

"Commander, Mrs. Allie and Miss Fleur, they..."

"What's wrong?" Tang De raised his brows and shouted loudly.

"They were originally staying in Mrs. Allie's house, waiting for Mrs. to change Miss Fleur's new makeup. But Mrs. and Miss just disappeared mysteriously, and waited for our staff stationed outside to find out that it was inappropriate. After entering, I found that they were all gone."

"And all the maids and personal guards in the house died, and a line of blood was left on the wall, saying that it was the work of the six thieves."

As he spoke, he looked at the commander Tang De on the stage in horror.

It's just that at this moment, many people turned pale, and even Frere almost fainted and fell down.

Zhao Xu also fell silent. At this moment, he was not sure whether Mrs. Ai Li and Fleur had secretly experienced this kind of disaster in their previous lives.

If it drags on, this will be an indelible scandal on Tang De.

The Six Sisters of Thieves can be said to be the most notorious group of bandits in the alliance. The six of them became sisters and specialized in robbing young girls.

Even after looting, their methods were extremely cruel, forcing girls into prostitution and selling them into slaves.

If they were a group of people, if they arrived late, they might even have been tortured to the point of insanity.

At this time, Zhao Xu also silently grabbed the super magic instant scepter in his hand.

Six sisters, it's really a bad relationship.

For a while, all kinds of memories from the past emerged in my mind.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xu, who had memories of his previous life, happened to know where the other party's lair was hiding.
