Chapter 35: A Ridiculous Promise
As he spoke, Patch made a "tsk" sound, looking around indulgingly, but in Patch's eyes, he couldn't see anything but darkness and ruins.
"With your ruins, what can pique my interest?" Patch shook her head, sneering heartlessly.
And Dormammu obviously noticed Patch's expression, and said loudly: "Little wizard, although the dark world seems to be dead and silent, there are countless treasures hidden inside, as long as you want, I can give you the corresponding things." ”
After a pause, Dormammu continued, "Wealth, for example, I have enough wealth here to be worth the sum of countless earths. ”
"Huh!" Patch chuckled and asked rhetorically, "Dormammu, do you think that a wizard who pursues the highest truth would covet such worldly possessions?" ”
"You don't care about wealth." Dormammu pondered for a moment, then said, "What about knowledge? ”
"My realm can preserve countless precious magic texts handed down from ancient times, I think these things should be what you need, right?"
"Ancient magic?" Pai pinched his chin and said, "I'm very interested in this." ”
But after saying this, Patch immediately looked up at Dormammu and questioned, "But you don't seem to need to trade with me, with your strength, you don't need to talk to me so much at all." ”
"So, Dormammu, what is your purpose?"
Patch was actually very puzzled in his heart, after Dormammu attracted him to the dark world, he didn't seem to say anything substantive to him except for the matter of the Ancient One, and now Dormammu actually used those precious magic books to tempt him, which had to make Patch wonder.
Looking at Dormammu with a skeptical expression, Patch suspected that there might be some conspiracy he hadn't guessed.
"Purpose?" Dormammu's thunderous voice reached Patch's ears, "Little wizard, what do you think my purpose is?" As the master of the dark world, what purpose do you think I can have? ”
After Dormammu's reminder, Patch quickly reacted.
"Dormammu, you...... You want to use me to devour the Earth? Pache snapped out his hand at Dormammu's massive head and exclaimed.
"That's right." Dormammu admits it frankly.
"It can't be!" Patch's face turned cold, and he flatly refused: "Dormammu, do you think I will condone you to destroy my planet because of that ancient knowledge?" I don't seem crazy enough yet, do I? ”
"Nothing is impossible." Dormammu smiled and said again, "Isn't the ultimate goal of a wizard's cultivation to gain eternal life? And I'm not destroying your planet, I'm just making it my territory. ”
"Little wizard, as long as you help me devour the earth, I can give you eternal life and give you a piece of territory exclusive to your dark world, don't you really need to think about this best of both worlds?"
"Hehe, the fox's tail is finally revealed." Patch thought to herself, sneering inwardly.
"Eternal life? An exclusive territory of the Dark World? Patch scoffed and said, "Dormammu, do you really think of me as a three-year-old?" How can you tell such a clumsy lie? ”
"And as a wizard who pursues the truth, as long as I continue to improve, I will one day gain eternity, why bother to cut off my path and become a mere lord of the dark world."
Looking at Dormammu, Patch had undisguised disdain on his face.
"Keep improving?" Dormammu snorted coldly and said loudly, "Are you sure you have such qualifications? ”
"When I was a wizard, I had the same idea as you, but even I didn't have the slightest hope of glimpsing the supreme realm of magic, do you think your hope is greater than mine?"
Another cold snort, Dormammu's dark purple eyes full of disdain.
"The highest realm of magic?" But when Dormammu snorted coldly, Pache couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Dormammu should never have imagined that he had inherited some of the authority of the main god! The highest realm of magic? It's definitely not the end of the road for him.
And what eternal life? If nothing else, even if he only has the divinity of the main god, Pache can definitely be immortal! Why abandon the path of continuous promotion for the sake of these small interests in front of you?
So if Patchy really listened to Dormammu's temptation, then he really had his brain kicked by a donkey.
But Patchy wouldn't confide in Dormammu, because these secrets were destined to be known only to one person, and that person was Patch himself.
Just to paralyze Dormammu, Patch felt that it was better for her to do something normal.
"You had no hope at the beginning, but that doesn't mean I have no hope." Looking up at Dormammu, Pache said proudly, "And I will not be like you, who will easily abandon the path of truth and throw himself into the darkness, which is not in line with the ideals I believe in." ”
"So, you're not ready to take my advice in the slightest?" Dormammu said lightly.
Dormammu's calm attitude made Patch feel very abnormal, and he looked at his huge head suspiciously, and Patch suddenly felt some uneasiness in his heart.
"Little wizard, to be honest, are you really daring? Almost never before you have anyone contradicted me in my field. ”
Just when Patchy was feeling uneasy, Dormammu's voice sounded again: "If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would have turned into dust by now, but you ......"
"What's wrong with me?" Patch asked.
"But you're valuable to me, so I won't wipe you out easily."
Listening to Dormammu's words, although Patch couldn't see anything on the surface, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Erase me? Are you kidding me? I'm shuttling through the void of the universe, and if you can find me, I'm really a ghost. And if it weren't for the dark energy in the ancient one's body that escaped before, you probably wouldn't have been able to find out where my Void Exchange is.
Patch thought so in his heart, this is not his exaggeration, although Dormammu is the lord of the dark world, claiming to exist beyond time, but in the eyes of Patch, who also has the characteristics of the laws of time and space, his laws of time and space are obviously not very proficient.
And if it weren't for the fact that Dormammu was now stronger than him, Patch wouldn't even be able to come here and listen to his nonsense.
But Dormammu obviously couldn't hear Patch's thoughts, only heard him continue, "Little wizard, I promise that my promise will last forever, and when you figure it out one day, I will welcome you to my world." ”
After a moment of silence, Dormammu added, "I'm sure there will definitely be a day." ”
"I don't think there will be a day." Patch scoffed and retorted, then looked back at Dormammu and said, "And I don't think we have any need to continue." ”
"So, if there's no deal in the future that is beneficial to us, please don't come to me again."
After saying that, Pache didn't wait for Dormammu's response, and the body that appeared with mental power disappeared without a trace.
After Pache disappeared, in the empty dark world, Dormammu's huge mouth suddenly opened a strange arc.
"Funny little guy ......"
