158. Stabbing

"Sacrifice", a high-level multi-functional magic that makes a wish to a god or demon at the cost of life, increasing the magic and its realm.

Depending on the level of the sacrifice, when the conditions are met, if you use a certain skill and launch the "Sacrifice" at the same time to consume the sacrifice, then the skill will directly reach the full level, except for the probability skill.

If you activate "Sacrifice" while using a Probability skill, the chance of that skill will be increased to 100% at that time, and the XP gained from using it once will be greatly increased, but it will not directly reach the maximum level.

In the past game, Xia Zuo only obtained the "sacrifice" once, but it was not often used, because the cost of the sacrifice was too high, and the result was only for skill upgrades, and it was better to spend it on the altar than to get the time consumed by those costs.

Xia Zuo listened to Rodney's explanation, and also knew that the altar holy water was ineffective against NPCs, and to increase the magic level or realm, the use of "sacrifice" had become an extreme practice for the villains in this world.

Among them, the sacrifices are divided into levels according to the level of biological intelligence, and the sacrifice of a cow is obviously not as high as the income obtained from sacrificing a living person. When the number and grade of the sacrifice meet the skill upgrade conditions, the "Sacrifice" will be successfully activated.

If you don't use any magic during the sacrifice, you'll get a magic crystal, which is different from the magic ore, and that's something else...

The "Sacrifice" magic book kept by the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom of Andu is officially used to deal with disaster weather, such as long-term drought, and court mages can sacrifice a few animals when activating the low-probability skill "Asking for Rain" to increase the probability of rain to 100%; Another example is heavy rainfall or flood season, activate the same low-probability skill - "Clearing" and use "Sacrifice". Etcetera.

The kingdom of Andu has been able to survive years and years in peace, thanks to the existence of this magic.

But there are also villains who are eyeing it, and if the villains have low adaptability to magic and can only learn one or two kinds of magic, then the sacrifice brought by the "sacrifice" is not too big. If the villain is highly adaptable to magic and can learn countless magic, the "sacrifice" will never end.

Just like the feared Aslan.

Rodney recounted to the two of them a widespread and appalling history in which Aslan captured a large number of Andu citizens in order to bring all his skills to the top level, and placed them in the center of the sacrificial circles in a state of inability to resist, and achieved his plot again and again.

In the middle of the story, Rodney summoned one of the guards next to him and whispered to him to go to the palace to pick up something.

The guards then walked away.

"Aslan's notoriety, not only in the kingdom of Andu, but also abroad, I heard it when I was a child when Standy was born, and this is a horror story in the local area," Rodney smiled wistfully, and the shadows of his parents, young companions, and the village came to mind, "If you don't obey, you will be captured by Aslan as a sacrifice, and your bones and flesh will be eaten by the demons." Adults always tell children that they don't know now... Do other villages still say that..."

Xia Zuo looked at his melancholy face, not knowing whether to comfort him.

Long Ge slammed his fist into his thigh, rattled, gritted his teeth and said, "So that's the 'sacrifice' magic?" Who created it..."

"What's wrong? Dragon Song. ”

"Hmm... It's okay, just remembering what happened to the people, it's been 10,000 years, please continue. Long Ge shook his head at Xia Zuo.

Rodney raised his eyebrows with a little interest as she said "10,000 years," but he was about to stop asking, because there was something else to attend to.

"That's a sad story," Xia Zuo sighed, his hands on his knees and ready to stand up, "If Rodney can't help me, I'll have to do it myself..."

"Wait," Rodney interrupted abruptly, waving the returning guard closer, "we're not done yet." ”

Xia Zuo let go and shrugged his shoulders.

"As I said, it's not terrible if a person can and learns a lot of magic, because magic is limited and runs out in a few moments... But the terrible thing is that he has raised all magic to the highest level, which means that no matter how many times he uses it, no matter how many kinds of magic he uses, it will not consume mana, it means infinity, it means doing whatever he wants, and he is not bound by himself and the outside world. Rodney took something from the guard's hand, stood up and walked down the Imperial Front, and approached Natsuzuo, "However, to get there, you also need to obtain the same terrible magic - "Sacrifice", and put the idea of "Raising the Realm of Magic" into practice. ”

Seeing Rodney coming, Xia Zuo stood up uncomfortably, and the former suddenly put his hand on the left side of Xia's neck.

Long Ge watched vigilantly, but didn't smell the hostility.

"What's that?" Xia Zuo felt that there was a hard object in Rodney's palm, separated by it.

Rodney didn't speak, then withdrew his hand and took the hard object back and spread it out in the gloved palm.

"Magic Quartzβ€”" Xia Zuo stared at itβ€”a small piece of white demonic ore mined goods, realizing Rodney's purpose.

"You recognize magic quartz, then you must know that this is an item used for magic detection, the primary color is white, when a person comes into direct contact, it turns to blue to represent that person has water attribute magic adaptability, cyan is ice attribute, red fire attribute, orange wind attribute, golden thunder attribute, brown earth attribute, green wood attribute, and a variety of attributes are layered mixed colors..."Rodney stared at the quartz, observing its change, "All attributes, it's black." ”

Rodney pinched the quartz between his index finger and thumb and lifted it high, which had changed from the initial white and cloudy to the current pitch black.

He was wearing gloves, so this was Xia Zuo's test result.

Seeing this, Xia Zuo frowned.

"So, the concern in Grevelde's letter is true, he said that every magic that tells you can be learned, not just fast... There is no adjustment disorder at all. Rodney suddenly became serious and then pulled out of the distance.

After clapping their hands twice, the soldiers stopped in front of the door of the throne room, crossing their halberds.

"What do you mean... Do you think I'll go to the vault and get the "sacrifice" and do the same thing as the man named Aslan? Xia Zuo changed his previous attitude and asked unhappily.

"Although there are some incidents that do not want the people to be sacrificed, I am more afraid of a person who has reached the highest level of all attributes..."During Rodney's response, four soldiers surrounded him, "Until the rear troops of the Duke arrive and we take full control of the country, please stay in the room I arranged, and don't go anywhere, Xia Zuo." ”

"As I said, I'm only going to find one magic, and it's not harmful to anyone." Xia Zuo reiterated solemnly, "It's hard to imagine that you were very supportive of me at first..."

"I'm rooting for the friend I thought was not very adaptable to magic and had an average ability to learn magic - Xia Zuo, who killed a lot of goblins and saved a village, and that was what he deserved... But I didn't expect him to be able to master any magic with a glance at the spell, and it was too risky to expose the spells of the vault to you. ”

"Then you go and help me find it, use your door magic circle, it won't be difficult to enter the secret vault! Just find the one I want! ”

"No, my Gate Circle can only be opened as far as the eye can see, and I can't see inside the vault," Rodney coldly refused, "I can remember the impressive blow you gave when you killed the Goblin King, and I don't know if it will work if you use that trick against the Gate of the Vault, but I'm not going to take any chances, please stay, Xia Zuo." ”

As soon as the words fell, the four guards clenched their halberds and approached, and the initial escort might turn into an escort, which made Long Ge really smell the danger.

"Do you agree to go with them? My lord Xia Zuo. ”

"Nope." He replied.

The black shadow flashed, the gusts of wind dispersed, and the position of Long Ge shifted from Xia's left and right to his left in an instant, showing the posture of pulling out the spear on his back and half-leaning over to complete the attack.

A drop of blood fell from the tip of the spear, synchronized with the crimson of armor-stained armor from the wounds on the chests of the four soldiers.

Dragon Song's Quadruple Thorn.
