The Truth of Magic - Chapter 201
201 The truth behind the notebook
zhao xu was just about to open the dimension bag to check its internal structure.
suddenly, lacus said, ” master, this thing is yours anyway. if you open it now, it’s easy to get some residual aura on it. ”
after hearing what lux said, zhao xu finally stopped trying to reach in and take a look.
!!
the dimensional bag wasn’t like zhao xu’s howard’s convenient bag. it couldn’t make whatever he wanted appear on top of it for him to use.
But no matter how trashy the things inside were, Zhao Xu had at least gained something.
He started to fold the sack-like ‘multi-dimensional bag’.
Even though the dimensional bag looked similar, Zhao Xu could still tell that the bag in front of him was a ” dimensional bag II “. It was worth around 5000 gold pieces and had 2 cubic meters of space. It could hold two tons of tap water.
even if there were only a few gold coins in it, zhao xu wouldn’t lose out too much just by getting this bag.
After all, they had just fought monsters, so they basically relied on divine weapons to do business at no cost.
strange, Lux. Why didn’t I level up this time? ” zhao xu said to himself at this moment.
In the past, he was able to level up smoothly by chatting and farting.
this time, they finally managed to kill a monster with a challenge level close to 20, but there was no reward at all?
Otherwise, Zhao Xu would have been able to get an attribute point when he reached Level 4 and increase his intelligence by one more point to 22.
“Ah? Master, did you make a mistake?” suddenly, lacus said with a smile, ” i’ve already obtained the rewards. for example, the probability of my book of ten thousand spells’s directional transformation has reached 31%. isn’t it amazing? ”
“1%?”When Zhao Xu heard this, he felt that it was better than nothing.
However, this also meant that maybe one day, lacus would be able to transform into any godly item he wanted?
but at this time, a question had already welled up in his heart.
“lacus, you want to level up too?”
Yes, Master. In my complete form, I can transform into any divine weapon, and not just one. Lacus said softly, ” that’s why I need your support, master.
” also, master, you can also take a look at this altar. there are secrets on it. ” lacus suggested.
” otherwise, when mistra’s people come in, this place will definitely be sealed off. master, you won’t be able to explore so freely anymore. ”
zhao xu also turned his gaze towards the altar and slowly walked forward.
The altar of the god of death, Nairo, was made of a huge piece of green pyroxene stone. This material not only had good divine spell conductivity, but it was also very resistant to wear and tear and external invasion.
after hundreds of years, there were no more offerings on the altar, not to mention that the god of death had long passed away, and there was no one to please the gods.
after zhao xu got closer to the altar, he noticed that aside from the runes that were originally carved on it, there was also a faint layer of boiling and bubbling blood.
Did the pit fiend use his own blood to paint this?
Zhao Xu used the ritualistic knowledge that he had been learning recently and the results of his mystical, religion, and plane knowledge skills to sort out the reason why the pit fiend had redrawn the content of the altar. It was to take control of the altar.
” it’s trying to change the direction of the altar from the deserted death god’s kingdom to a certain level in purgatory, or its master. ” Lacus had invaded the altar before, so she knew what the demon was doing right away.
Zhao Xu nodded. As expected of a demon from the order faction. The concept of hierarchy was so strong that he didn’t forget to report to his master and apply even after transmigrating to Arthur.
no wonder he didn’t seem too strong, but still managed to climb to the top of a normal devil like a pit fiend.
If it were a race like the demons that were not as big as their own race, the altar would definitely point to their real name.
But even so, Zhao Xu still obediently took out Midsummer’s spellcasting notes from his backpack and copied down all the ritualistic incantations he had seen.
at the same time, he took the opportunity to briefly describe what had happened since he came in.
“lacus, is there anything wrong with the notebook i’m holding?”
zhao xu and lacus confirmed that this notebook was the one he had taken from andy, and it was an item left behind by andy’s ancestor.
“no, it’s just an ordinary notebook that can record an unlimited amount of content. the copied text will have some spirituality.” After sensing it, lacus said, “however, I’ve been tainted by the death aura of the tomb. I’m afraid that the owner of the tomb was quite powerful.
a little bit of strength?
to receive such an evaluation from lacus, wouldn’t he be at least a demigod?
when zhao xu got his hands on the diary, the first few pages of the diary showed that andy’s ancestor had recorded the general location of the tomb and a simple sketch of the entrance to the tomb.
If they passed by that area, they could go in and explore it.
however, he had better lower his expectations. the places that were explored by ancestor andy hundreds of years ago might have been transformed into places for adventurers to rest.
Zhao Xu was doing his homework as he asked, ” “Lacus, did you pull me in on purpose?”
The reason he could come here was naturally because he had picked up a broken notebook in the gravel pile.
“no, master. in fact, i’ve been sleeping in that stone coffin since the beginning. i only woke up after you entered. Why else would I let a pit fiend swagger around here?” lacus denied.
When he heard this, Zhao Xu’s first reaction was to activate lesser Swift burst, but he had just used advanced Swift burst.
He hadn’t yet accepted the punishment of the one round of stun, so he naturally couldn’t cast this similar spell again.
But Zhao Xu’s reaction wasn’t slow either. He immediately took out the notebook from his pocket and threw it away from the altar.
at this moment, lacus had just overused her power to transform into a divine weapon. she would not be able to support him in a short time.
zhao xu immediately took out his protective magic staff and stared at the notebook that he had picked up from the pile of sand that had led him here.
Suddenly, the notebook that Zhao Xu had thrown to the ground trembled and a faint, almost invisible spirit slowly seeped out from the notebook. It stabilized in the air and started to reform, slowly turning into a human.
“ghost.” Lacus reminded.
zhao xu was also on guard as he looked at the ghost that had suddenly appeared.
However, he was now at level three, not as weak as he was when he was at level one.
the spirit’s true form was a middle-aged man. he looked like he was in pain, but he could not hide the aura of a soldier from his brows.
zhao xu knew that he had run into a colleague from his previous life.
“why did you deliberately lead me here?”
zhao xu asked.
after so long, reyan still couldn’t find the temple through the stone sundial, so he couldn’t tell that the ghost had such an ability.
“mr. zhongxia, you don’t have to worry about me. my wish has been fulfilled. i’ll disappear on my own later.” the spirit bowed to zhao xu and said to show his gratitude.
As it spoke, it glanced at the pile of decaying residue from the devil’s death, which had now become a very small lump.
it wasn’t that zhao xu didn’t want to care.
instead, as long as the devils didn’t die in the hell of baator, then no matter what, the remains of their corpses would continue to shrink until they were annihilated.
then, he would wait for a hundred years to be resurrected in hell.
At that time, the level of demons they would become would depend on whether their former master would give them face.
Zhao Xu now had a rough idea of the key points of the situation, but he didn’t say much. He just continued to wait for the ghost to explain.
in any case, the other party wouldn’t use the destruction of his soul to prove his words, so they would have to continue discussing it.
I think you know that I’m the commander of the southern flag Army who was tempted by the devil and sacrificed his soldiers 400 years ago. the spirit said with an ashamed expression.
“You’re the one who’s stupid.”
Zhao Xu retorted calmly.
The Army was an organization that was far closer to each other than the adventurer teams.
zhao xu had many brothers under his command in his previous life. during the demon-sealing war, everyone had entrusted their lives to each other, so this sort of betrayal was naturally even more disdainful.
if the other party was the kind of vagabonds who had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies, it would be fine if they were tempted to survive, but they would not care so much when they were about to die.
However, as a high-level commander, he had been educated and had fallen into the devil’s manipulation. In the end, he had become a ghost and could not escape.
Zhao Xu wasn’t going to sympathize with her just because she had already been reduced to a state where she couldn’t escape.
“Indeed, I was stupid.” the ghost reproached himself.
after sacrificing almost seventy to eighty soldiers, the entire Army fell into an uproar when the bones of one of the soldiers were dug out. Slowly, more and more soldiers began to escape every day.
” in the end, i told the devil that i was unable to continue with the sacrifice, but i was mocked by them. they said that i had sold my soul to them for revenge and that i would only become one of their kind after death. ”
“at that time, i wasn’t satisfied. on one hand, i felt that i was getting stronger and stronger every day, and my appearance was becoming more and more like a demon. on the other hand, i was afraid. So, I committed suicide in front of this notebook. As expected, I didn’t turn into a devil, but a ghost.”
“mr. zhongxia, you’ve killed that demon, and my wish has been fulfilled. The rest of the content is recorded in this notebook. I also hope that you can help me keep this token that has been passed down from my family to this day, taken from the tomb.”
The ghost suddenly said excitedly,”that b * tch married me for this thing. How can I let them have their wish?” they’ll never guess that the thing they’ve been searching for is the broken notebook i carry with me every day, hahaha yingluo.”
Before the ghost finished speaking, the mist-like spirit body that had condensed into a ball could not hold on any longer and dissipated in all directions.
“it’s wrong. it has escaped the protection of the laptop. Its soul will reform, and it will fall into hell to be reincarnated as a devil.” lacus said quietly.
when zhao xu heard this, he didn’t say anything.
When people made mistakes, they would naturally pay the price. It was only a matter of time.
At this time, he also walked to the notebook that had revealed its true appearance after the ghost disappeared.
Or rather, its shape and appearance were very similar to the Midsummer’s spell Journal that Zhao Xu had taken from Andy.
it was exactly the same.
