The Truth of Magic - Chapter 167
167 Chapter 166-Lu duo
after listening to the old mage, who was also the spirit of the legendary library, speak …
zhao xu thought about it for a moment. after reading someone else’s library, he had to abide by their agreement not to reveal it. that was only right.
He was the one who had sworn to defend magic to the death.
!!
He didn’t dare to cause any more trouble before he figured out the meaning of these oaths.
“can i not swear an oath?” zhao xu asked. he didn’t have any wild thoughts.
The spirit shook his head and refused.
zhao xu realized that the elderly wizard in front of him seemed to have gotten a little stronger, and he seemed to have a lot more power even when he shook his head.
he stared at her directly. “from what i remember, the goddess likes to use female incarnations for some oracles or spirits of divine artifacts. This is also due to her own reflection. Why do you look like an old man now?”
at first, zhao xu thought that since the other party was a library, it wouldn’t be right for him to use the incarnation of this old wizard. However, now that he thought about it, more than three-quarters of the goddess’s choices, including the Pope and Patriarch, were women.
As for the second generation goddess of magic, all of them had chosen women as their popes.
this library was built by the second generation goddess of magic.
In that case, it would be suspicious if the spirit was an elderly man.
“You mages are so paranoid.”
suddenly, the body of the legendary library spirit slowly changed. the original robe turned into a bubble skirt, and the image of the old mage turned into a little girl with chubby cheeks.
seeing the way the spirit was acting, zhao xu’s head started to hurt, and he was starting to regret talking so much.
“Why don’t you turn back?” zhao xu suggested.
“Transform your head. Do you think it’s easy for a spirit body like me to transform once?” The spirit girl sat on the ground in a Huff and looked at Zhao Xu with disdain.
zhao xu also understood that when she turned back into a little girl, she would be removing her transformation, so the difficulty would naturally be different.
“then, how about you introduce yourself? Zhongxia, Level 3 mage.” Zhao Xu said.
“Holy fallen angel, Holy black cat.” The little girl said slowly.
let me think, you’re probably not a godly item. Only a mage’s disjunction can remove a weapon spirit like you.
seeing that the other party wasn’t going to tell him the truth, zhao xu turned around after threatening him. he looked like he was going to start looking for magic books that recorded how to dispel the ritual.
“lu duo.” The little girl said as she looked at Zhao Xu warily.
“Oh, Lu duo.” Zhao Xu nodded.
although this style of naming wasn’t quite like the current mainstream style of mystra, it might not be the case during the second goddess of magic.
“Then why did you pretend to be an old man?” Zhao Xu asked.
“Hmph, it’s all because of you dirty mages. She couldn’t find the exit herself, so she kept pestering me, begging me for an explanation. She saw that I was a little girl who was easy to bully. Don’t you know that even that little boy, oz, has to address me with such respect?” lu duo said angrily.
Zhao Xu didn’t expect to hear President Oz’s name for the second time in just two days, and it was also a quantifier used by others to boost their own value.
but zhao xu looked at the spirit body that the library of heaven’s path had transformed into and saw that it was only as tall as his waist, so it was really difficult for him to show any respect.
it was just like when he first saw that she was a little girl, his tone had become less respectful.
“Then, Lu duo, what’s your opinion of my method?” zhao xu asked as he looked at lu duo, the spirit of the hotel, who was in front of him.
“Well, about this. There were at least ten ways to find the legendary library on this floor, and the remaining three were hidden on the lower floors. Then, according to the way you look for it, you will have to enter at different frequency and take different oaths.”
Then, Lu duo raised her head and looked at Zhao Xu with sparkling eyes.”Although the method you used was not the most effective and the time you spent was not the shortest, you have passed at least. if you swear an oath with me, you can enter.”
“are there any higher level techniques?” Zhao Xu asked.
of course. For example, the smartest person can directly claim that I’m the entrance to the legendary library. Then, he can get the treatment of one entry per day, and he doesn’t need to make an oath. lu duo said proudly.
Zhao Xu didn’t know what to say. If he had seen the little girl transform into Lu duo at the start, he wouldn’t have dared to make such wild guesses.
However, he saw an elderly mage. Who knew if he was a real mage or not? he didn’t dare to be flirtatious.
“Then, let’s discuss this?” Zhao Xu suddenly crouched down until he was at the same level as Lu duo.
he could tell that lu duo wasn’t the kind of old pedantic person who would stick to the rules.
since there was a way to do so without swearing an oath, it proved that it was not a hard condition.
“Discuss?” the dojo spirit, lu duo, looked at zhao xu with disdain. ” wizard zhongxia, please be careful. do i look like the kind of weapon spirit that doesn’t follow principles? ”
zhao xu took out an automatic quill from his backpack, which he had gotten from a mysterious old man for being the fastest to complete a copy scroll.
zhao xu had two of these quills, including the one that antonya had given him. However, after he reached Level 3, his level was still unstable, so he didn’t really dare to copy scrolls, afraid that he would “drop a level” after he finished.
so, two automatic quill pens were a little cumbersome for zhao xu, so he took one out and tried to bribe the spirit in front of him.
but when lu duo saw the automatic quill that zhao xu handed over, she didn’t look happy at all. instead, she said, ” “Do you think that after I become a little girl, my intelligence is like a child’s?”
with that, lu duo waved her hand in the air. a ray of light fell, and hundreds of automatic quill pens floated in the air.
“as the spirit of the library, i can’t possibly copy books by myself. Mage zhongxia, I’m telling you, with your silly attitude, it’ll be hard for you to survive in floating city.” lu duo started to lecture zhao xu.
then, she began to disclose the course of ” the study of the thick darkness of a floating city ” that she had summarized over the years. she also said that she had already taught this course to a few of the targets who came in, and the results were good.
It was as if he was willing to sell it to Zhao Xu at a lower price.
Zhao Xu felt his teeth hurt when he heard this. He didn’t think that his first gift at the floating city would be met with such mockery.
however, this artifact spirit, lu duo, had a higher seniority than the association’s president. if he took out the mithril glitter chip, he would only be ridiculed even more by the evil weapon spirit.
then, sister Lu duo, what do you think I should give you? ” zhao xu pretended to be humble and asked for advice.
At this moment, Lu duo placed her hands behind her back and shook her head like an adult. well, I think your cloak is quite good.
As she said this, she couldn’t help but glance at the star Cloak that Zhao Xu was wearing.
when he heard this, zhao xu couldn’t help but laugh. he said, ” you wish. ”
“sigh, forget it then.” lu duo said indifferently.
“what is the specific oath?” Zhao Xu asked.
since it was not easy to break through from the front, he had to try to break through from the side.
“oh, then i’ll show you.” lu duo suddenly showed a happy smile and snapped her fingers.
a stack of goatskin papers that were dozens of pages thick appeared in the air and slowly landed in zhao xu’s palm.
After Zhao Xu took it, he immediately started flipping through the entire set of oath materials. After a few pages, he was a little stunned.
It was a complete contract from earth. it listed all kinds of ways for him to keep his oath and the conditions for him to not reveal the contents of the legendary library in his life.
at the same time, the oath also stipulated the punishment for various violations, as well as a few extremely harsh and limited exemption regulations.
zhao xu couldn’t help but look at the weapon spirit in front of him. it couldn’t have been that she had been studying this contract for the past few hundred years, right?
“then who hasn’t made an oath?” zhao xu had thought that it would just be a simple oath, but he couldn’t help but be curious as to who would be so lucky.
He had to admit that signing this oath was definitely a burden.
“No one’s here.” Lu duo replied to Zhao Xu with a happy smile.
“no one? didn’t i say that i could just point out the entrance to the library of legends?” Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
“Yes, but I have to admit it first. if i don’t admit it, then i’m wrong.” Lu duo looked at Zhao Xu with the expression of someone who cared about a person with low IQ.
When he thought about this, Zhao Xu finally understood that this weapon spirit had the final say in everything.
however, on second thought, he realized that the library of legends probably had some extraordinary secrets, which explained why there was such a strict oath.
At this moment, Zhao Xu also thought of the books he had seen on the shelf that were similar to ” theory of divinity. If this kind of ancient book involving gods was leaked, it would definitely cause a great uproar.
Since everyone he knew had already signed the contract, Zhao Xu didn’t think too much about it. He took out a Quill from his backpack and was about to write his name on it.
The equipment spirit, Lu duo, had a smile on her face as she watched Zhao Xu put ink on the quill pen and then start the process of asking for his signature. She was secretly happy that she had gained another item in her collection.
but suddenly, when the tip of zhao xu’s pen touched the ancient parchment, lu duo’s expression changed.
“Wait a moment.” she quickly called out to zhao xu to stop what he was doing.
zhao xu looked at lu duo, a little confused. He had just read the entire oath. Although it was all terms that restricted him, there was no such thing as forcing him to buy or sell, or treating him badly.
Was he going back on his word?
Add some new rules?
“well, i suddenly feel that you’re very pleasing to the eye. i don’t need to swear.” then, lu duo hopped over and took the parchment from zhao xu’s hands and put it away.
from now on, you can connect to the library of legends once a day. Just shout the password ‘Lu duo is the most beautiful’. Lu duo said hurriedly.
“lu duo is the most beautiful?” zhao xu double-checked this narcissistic password.
then, his entire body began to fade, slowly turning into starlight and disappearing without a trace.
After she watched Zhao Xu enter the tenth floor, which was the legendary library, Lu duo finally let out a sigh and knelt down.
Slowly, her entire body began to change. Her child-like body slowly turned into a mature woman’s appearance, and her originally loose bubble dress also changed.
“i almost couldn’t maintain the transformation. i thought that children’s appearances were easy to deceive, and i almost got exposed.”
Lu duo couldn’t care less about her posture right now. She looked in the direction that Zhao Xu had disappeared in and muttered to herself, ”
“why do i feel like i’m in deep trouble the moment you signed your name?”
