The Truth of Magic

534 Pale justice

When he heard this, even though Zhao Xu’s heart was already as calm as a Lake, he was still a little shocked.

he didn’t die?

Then how did the ittell dynasty go extinct? And how did the last ‘lost inheritance’ affect the minds of countless ambitious people?

just the treasures of the leader of the underground organization, kuloze, and the six sisters that he had obtained from the capital of the alliance, olu, were enough to make zhao xu’s pockets full.

Although he knew later that The Lost Legacy was a fake vault set up by Ernest back then, he still had to find out.

the treasure vault was later borrowed by the ” coachman ” who had inherited antonya’s family name, which was the old man in front of him, matthew. in the end, he founded the ” itre dynasty. ”

After that, the treasure vault had also returned to Antonya’s hands. He had even managed to deceive her by calling her ” big sister ” and went into the treasure vault to pick out the star Cloak that he was currently wearing.

However, no matter how hard Zhao Xu tried to imagine it, he still couldn’t understand how the legendary wise and powerful founder of a dynasty could be related to the old man in front of him.

Zhao Xu turned his head around and looked at Antonya’s skin that was still a little tender. The barely visible hair on her face had still not faded, and then he looked at Matthew, who had half of his body buried in the ground.

He couldn’t help but wonder why Ernest was so biased back then.

He was only going to cast traceless time on Antonya, but not on the coachman who had been given a family name?

Zhao Xu had already thought of a few spells in his mind.

Just by relying on the Druid’s fourth-circle divine spell, ” final breath, ” he could now replace the old man’s body with a young one, and at the same time, he would not lose his character level and physique.

He would just have to use wish to solve the problem of random races.

“Do you think it’s strange?”

The old man maintained his humble smile as he smiled at Zhao Xu. His eyes were deep and profound, and it was as if he could see through Zhao Xu’s thoughts.

Zhao Xu looked at this old man Matthew, who was a real historical figure and was even the ” main character ” of many heroic historical novels. Zhao Xu crossed his legs slightly and stood up a little straighter.

He still had the respect he should have for his elders.

“no, i didn’t,” zhao xu said.

“in fact, this is also a kind of curse.” old man matthew joked.

“A curse?”

that’s right. Emperor Ernest looked around Arthur for a thousand years. He forced the gods ‘authority to not even take a step out of the temple.

The old man seemed to be lost in his memories, and his eyes began to fill with tears, making people feel his endless reminiscence.

“So, after Emperor Ernest’s disappearance that year, there was a huge change. The gods then made an Alliance and let the death god use his divine power to give it to all the Kings in the world in the future, cursing them to inevitably decline and die.” Matthew, the old man, said. He could not help but cover his mouth and cough.

that’s why I lost the ability to live forever. Even if I change my body, even if I use spells like ‘eternal stagnation’ to fake my death, they can’t slow down the aging of my body and soul.

“The only thing I can rely on with my old body is to use legendary spells to delay the arrival of the day I die of old age. Naturally, the aging of the body can’t be stopped.”

The old man, Matthew, said with a calm expression, without the slightest hint of sorrow.

“Why is it so severe?”

Zhao Xu found it hard to imagine.

However, he immediately realized that even for the elves, who were born with a long lifespan, the king would not be in power for more than a hundred years.

There were even very few emperors who were mages.

The legendary mage of the eastern lands, “Ying ergou,” whom they had encountered before, was probably only a dozen generations younger than the current Emperor of the eastern lands.

It turned out that it was all this curse at work.

When he saw that Zhao Xu had come to a realization, the old man continued to explain, “you might not be able to imagine it, but before Ernest came to the land of Arthur. In the dark Age, where people ate raw meat and drank blood, the Feathermen were skinned and tattooed to be used as canvases for the temple, the skulls were cut off to be used as Holy ritual offerings, and the leg bones were taken as sacrificial staffs. These barbarian actions were completely normal at that time.”

a blasphemous and unintentional word could destroy the entire village and kill everyone.

passers-by who do not believe in the gods will be slaughtered at will.

After saying that, the old man fell silent. when I was born, I was supposed to fulfill my father’s oath to the gods and use my son’s flesh and blood to nourish the gods.

“Just before I was about to be thrown into the pot of oil, the witch who delivered the child realized that my mother had another child in her stomach. In the end, my younger twin brother took over my fate, and I survived.”

it was master who ended the era of the gods ‘savagery, ended the era where human lives were worse than pigs and dogs, and restricted the bloody side of theocracy.

“He made it so that the gods had to conform to their own divine beliefs and no longer be chaotic and inexplicable evil gods. This is the true wealth he left behind for Arthur.”

Zhao Xu fell silent.

Even a legendary wizard might not be so calm in Arthur.

Matthew knew about the existence of this “curse,” but he was still determined to start a dynasty, and Antonya had even lent him the fake warehouse.

One could only imagine what kind of crisis the storm back then had reached.

Zhao Xu also silently nodded at this old man who had once protected this land to show his respect.

In an instant, the old man’s face bloomed like a flower. He waved his hand and said, “no need, no need. After all, the decree he left behind was for me to protect the young lady and maintain a dormant posture before the real dawn.

As he spoke, he carefully observed Zhao Xu, Antonya’s student, and he couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes.

“very good. compared to the last time i saw you, you’ve actually broken through to four rings so quickly. I’m afraid he’s not far from reaching his fifth ring.” The old man Matthew said with a sigh, “after the magic net became the essence of the world, your breakthrough speed can be said to be rare in the world, even for the players.

“You’re too kind,” Zhao Xu said tactfully.

He had already eaten so many “cheating” resources. If he continued to level up and couldn’t compare to others, that would be too much.

however, I also hope that Mr. Zhongxia can help me persuade the Miss. Old man Matthew suddenly changed the topic.

“What?” Zhao Xu was surprised.

However, before he knew the full story, he would not express too many opinions.

...

“Ha.”

Antonya waved her hand indifferently and turned to face them. I’ll have to go to the ninth level of hell myself eventually.

“Miss.”

At this moment, the old man Matthew said anxiously, ” back then, before master left, he said that he had left you a way out in the ‘bottomless land’ in the deepest part of the endless abyss, which was enough for you to run amuck.

“But the master of the ninth floor, Asmodeus, is an existence that neither you nor I can measure up to. Even master, in the past, had to keep a distance from this undying.”

Zhao Xu was also looking at Antonya in surprise. He didn’t think that Antonya would actually be able to play the joke of going to the abyss and hell on several occasions.

“Teacher, is there anything in hell that you need to get?” Zhao Xu asked.

However, Antonya didn’t answer him directly this time. there are some things that I suspect you’ve already known from the start, but you’ve been hiding them from me.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll have to investigate it myself. In addition, the Nine Hells are so vast that I might not necessarily encounter the Lord of hell on the spot.”

Even with Antonya’s calm confidence in front of the Lords of the Abyss, she still revealed a hint of heaviness when she mentioned the master of the ninth level from the order faction.

This made Zhao Xu remember.

...

He had once encountered the legendary Six-Fingered grazite in that sealed space and was rescued by the goddess sisylvana.

At that time, the other party had also warned him to be careful of this Lord of hell!

And not grazite, one of the top three Lords of the Abyss he had just encountered.

“Miss. the living cellar told me that you took the divine artifact, pale justice, from the warehouse.” Matthew, the old man, had no choice but to expose him. if you’re not sure that you’re going to fight him, why would you need such a divine weapon that can penetrate concept defenses? ”

Concept defense.

This was the first time Zhao Xu had heard this word again after he left the floating city.

For example, his ” starry cloak ” combined with ” reflection immunity ” was already very close to the concept of ” immunity ” to physical damage.

Just like golems, they had ” magic immunity ” and could ignore all spells that ” needed to be overcome with magic resistance.

It was better to stack the numbers until the opponent could not see through it than to ignore it.

Immunity was the strongest defense.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look at Antonya worriedly.

He didn’t know that Antonya was shaking her head in anger. what a Blabbermouth. I should have used the chamber pot as its main body.”

Zhao Xu finally realized that the treasure vault that he had entered before and the creature that had determined whether he was a descendant was actually a living cellar, a legendary creature!

He looked at the old man, Matthew, who had a troubled expression on his face, and the determined Antonya.

zhao xu couldn’t help but ask, ” mentor, what are you going to ask? If Mr. Matthew knows, he won’t have to go.”

“Hmph,” he snorted. At this moment, Antonya said coldly, ” I just want to know if my birth was a trap.

that’s why I need to ask the soul that has turned into a devil.
