Chapter 40 Cooperation
"Let me tell you, Mr. Doyle!" said Zood, who suddenly jumped off Fianna's shoulder, and stood on the old wizard's desk.
"We are here to seek cooperation. ”
"Oh, ...... cooperation?" the smile that had been hanging on the old man's face slowly disappeared. Originally, I always thought it was just an ordinary demon pet black cat, but I actually crossed the owner and spoke. The old wizard's eyes flickered, as if he had fallen into some kind of thought.
"You, or rather, who are you, and why are you?" said the old wizard at last, slowly sitting back in his place, word for word. It was as if in an instant, the kind and sloppy old man was gone, replaced by another terrible figure.
"As I have already said, we are here to seek cooperation. Zode replied.
"Cooperate for? Why? How, and at least tell me who you're working with?" replied the old wizard coldly, "I don't want to cooperate with some inexplicable being. ”
"For the sake of our Lord, you may have heard of the name of my Lord, as mankind calls it 'the Light of Darkness,' and I have come here in search of sufficient sacrifices to offer to His Great Highness. Zuo Dedao.
"Dark Light, I seem to have heard the name, is said to be a secret sect active in the South......" the old wizard muttered. He suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Zuo De, and asked,
"Bluebeard, you did the pirate thing, right? Is the so-called sacrifice a death ritual sacrificed to the evil god?"
"Ah, no, it's not...... Fianna hastily argued.
"It is true that we did it, and not only that, but we intend to sacrifice all the pirates to the great Lord, and that is what we are here for. Zode interrupted Fianna.
"Go away, for Miss Bilorinli's sake, I won't kill you. But you must leave the lower city immediately, the farther away the better, I don't want to see you again!" the old wizard said lightly, and in the air, more and more intense arcane energy began to emanate, and Doyle showed the strength of a high-level wizard.
"Leave, don't you want to hear about the terms we have prepared for the deal?" said Zode, unmoved.
"No need, there's nothing to say to the believers of the evil gods, you guys go quickly, don't force me to do it. ”
"Hehe, what a pity, originally I wanted to show me the secret of eternal life that my lord gave me......" Zuode shook his head and said to Fianna,
"Then let's go back, maybe a few other chamber leaders are interested. ”
"Wait a minute!" the old wizard exclaimed suddenly, his face cloudy.
"Even you, too, can know the secret of eternal life?"
"Don't you believe me? Fianna, show me your natural abilities. Zode ordered.
"Yes, Lord Zode. Fianna agreed, then faced an uninhabited wall and began to concentrate, and soon, with a triggered spell, a dark arrow of energy rushed into the wall, but nothing happened.
"Shadow Arrow, Standard 2nd Order, Mana...... Wait, how come I didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power?Also, this girl, Fianna, obviously hasn't entered the rank yet, how can she use such a spell beyond the rank?" The old wizard opened his palm and began to probe the spell, and soon, his face changed drastically, and he muttered.
"There's no problem with the body, props, no carrying, etc., is it, blood?"
"It's a rare genius among human beings, and if you're right, take a closer look at her bloodline. ”
Soon, the old wizard prepared a large number of observation props, gathered around Fianna, and while studying carefully, he generally desperately grabbed his hair and muttered incredulously.
"This was originally just a very ordinary human bloodline, how did it become like this?" "The bloodline contains the power of arcane, how is it possible? How is this done?"
"The power of the demonic nature is actually perfectly fused with the bloodline, doesn't that mean that this power can even ...... Passing on to the next generation? incredible, incredible!"
The old wizard was like a child who had seen his favorite toy, dancing for a while, and frowning sadly, he was completely attracted by Zuode's bloodline transformation technology.
After a long time, the old wizard let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and entered a state of thought. The fanatical mood gradually subsided from his face, and he calmly asked Zuode,
"It's really amazing technology, it's breathtaking. But......" he thought for a moment, then continued,
"This bloodline spell-casting ability seems to be maintained by extracting her own origin energy, which is probably a great depletion of her vitality, what does it have to do with what you said about eternal life?"
"That's a good question. Zode replied, "But what do you think it takes to attain the mystery of eternal life, given your power and worth?"
"So, you were there to tease me in the first place?" asked the old wizard gloomily.
"Of course not, the mystery of eternal life is naturally in the hands of my master, and what you see is nothing but the power of my lord's humble servants. And you, if you want to get the ultimate mystery, you have to pay a sufficient price. ”
"How do you prove that what you say is not a big lie. ”
"There is no way to prove it, you can choose not to believe it, or even destroy my powerless projection, and then face the wrath of my lord. Destiny is always in your own hands. Perhaps, you don't have to wait until that time, your body may not last for a few years. ”
The old wizard fell silent again.
"Dear Fianna, I can be alone with this ...... Do you want to talk about it?" Finally, the old wizard spoke, and he actually persuaded Fianna first.
"Absolutely. Fianna glanced at Zode, and seeing that he had no objection, she nodded.
When Fianna left the study, the old wizard suddenly stared at Zuode and said,
"With all due respect, you and your master, Your Highness the Dark Light, are both demons, right?" he thought for a moment before explaining, "I've heard rumors that in the Southern Free City-State Alliance, the Dark Light's followers are extremely secretive and cruel, full of demonic style, so that's why I guess so. ”
"Is there any difference between this?" said Zod, without denying it, "what is the difference between demons and gods in the eyes of you humans? And demons, if you are willing to pay enough, they can give you whatever you want. If it were you, which side would you choose?"
"I seem to have asked a stupid question! In this age when the gods are disgusted with humans, I don't seem to have much choice, are humans really a race favored by demons?" said the old wizard, smirking self-deprecatingly,
"Tell me about your deal, what do you want me to do? Tell me in advance, Captain Bluebeard of the Black Dove is a high-ranking warrior, and my old bones are no match for him. ”
"Old slippery head!" Zuo De thought to himself,
"I'll give you enough confidence. Where's your lab? Can you give me a hand?"
"Of course, I'm willing to serve you!"
