112 Artifact
β...... Tacus is on top!"
This is probably the only thing the High Sin Priest can say right now. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no one knows better than him the 'price' offered by the Hellfire Lich - one can even say that this "temptation" - Although the rotting body of the main god Thakus is very oppressive to the believers, as a high-ranking person in the world, the secret records of the previous high priests let him know that the main god actually hated his filthy body that constantly emitted a rancid smell, and for hundreds of years, he had been secretly looking for a way to restore his body to life, but he never found anything, and now there is a flesh-and-blood Stygian Fire Lich sitting in front of him, claiming to be able to help!
If he could really dedicate this method to the powerful Lord God, even if he exhausted his imagination, he would not be able to predict what kind of reward he would get, and he might even be able to ascend to the heavens in one step and become a high-ranking person in the God Domain!
However, after only a moment of excitement, the old man quickly calmed down again.
"I don't mean to offend," he said, first making a more humble gesture to show his respect for the magical Hellfire Lich in front of him, "But, Your Excellency, are you sure that this method can play the same role in the body of the Lord God? A strong man like you may be strong enough in the world, but the power of the Lord God is unimaginable to us-"
"The Divine Realm may be a very distant world for you, but it is not like that for me. β
Linax interrupted him in a 'lich accent' and a flat tone, "By accomplishing this for me, you, and the Tacus you believe in, will get a satisfactory outcome." β
'Not like that for me'?
The High Priest didn't hear what the lich was saying behind him, and all that was swirling in his head was the words. What does it mean to be not so far away from the Divine Domain? If all this is true, it means that the mysterious lich in front of him has already glimpsed the path to godhood, and it is even possible that he already has a fragment of Godhead!
"What are you hesitating about?"
Seeing that the sin sacrifice did not react, Linax moved closer a little, stared into the priest's eyes, and whispered in a deep voice: "Even from the worst point of view, you will not lose anything - you and the priests of the Temple of Death already have a vendetta against you, and if it weren't for the eternal sleep wars again and again, you would have become an undying mortal enemy, so even if the operation fails, the situation will not be worse than now, and once you succeed-"
He slowed down the pace of his speech, as if to emphasize something, and lowered his voice even lower, like a demonic voice ringing in his ears, although the 'Lich Accent' was jerky, but the way he spoke was elegant and mysterious, and the words were full of temptation: "-Not to mention what you have received from me, you have succeeded in seducing the chief priest of the Temple of Death, It is enough to make your Lord God very happy by giving Faharu a great embarrassment, and the reward you can receive as the one who has created it all may be something that even I would be jealous of......"
For a moment, the Sin Priest almost thought that the other party was a follower of the main god Tarkus, and that he was the prey of the temptation - but he had to admit that the lich had a point, and even if he had been deceived and ran away for nothing, he would have nothing to lose, and the two sides were already in tension, and adding a little skirmish would have no effect, and if he did succeed, the huge reward would definitely make people jealous!
When analyzed in this way, it seems that there is no harm in doing this - well, wait a minute!
The sin priest finally came to his senses before blurting out his promise, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. If this thing is really so easy to do, it won't bring so much benefit!Not to mention, Fusek@Ersesent, who can be the chief priest of the Temple of Death-although it is a deputy position-, must have extraordinary abilities, and the usual training of the deceased priests of Fahalu is mainly based on mental power, and their minds are extremely tough, and they belong to the most difficult type to provoke, even if they use forbidden magic at any cost, the result is difficult to predict......
The high-ranking priest who had regained his sanity finally made a sober judgment, and his heart was happy, and Linax, who had been staring at him, immediately saw the change in his mentality, and after smiling faintly, he reached into his arms gracefully and took out a small box:
"As the first step to win each other's trust, and at the same time barely make up for my presumptuous disturbance this time, please use this thing for the time being!"
As if sending out a pebble, he casually opened the box and pushed it in front of the sinful priest, who first looked back and forth between the box and the lich with a vaguely wary gaze, and then his gaze rested more and more on the ring, and suddenly at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly widened wider than his mouth, almost his entire eyeball was rapidly congested, and his heart was beating extremely wildly, and the pressure in his veins was so intense that his entire head trembled slightly, and he himself was unaware of it:
"Card ...... Card...... Card ......"
He struggled to move his tongue, but could not continue. The contents of the box are too shocking, even if the main god Tarkus suddenly arrives, I am afraid it will not be as shocking as this thing brings him!
"Kashmeo's favorite. β
Linax said what he wanted to say lightly, and the Guilty Priest nodded desperately unconsciously, as if the drowning man was finally able to breathe, and took a long breath of air, his face flushed.
"Your Excellency has seen a lot. β
Linax smiled slightly, "Yes, this is the weakest but most terrifying artifact in the legend, the ring that can seduce any soul, Kashmeo's favor...... With it, I believe that Your Excellency is very confident in completing my commission, right?"
"Why?"
The Sinful Priest tried his best to look away, but he only let himself struggle in vain, and the inconspicuous ring lying quietly in the box seemed to have magical power, so that he could not control his eyes at all, and his gaze was firmly glued to it, unable to move: "If Your Excellency already has such a terrible weapon, why do you come to me? As long as you wear it, I am afraid that no one who comes near you will escape the fate of becoming a slave, right?!"
It has to be said that it will not be so simple to be able to become a high-level person in a certain organization, and the evil sacrifice in front of him can still maintain his sanity even in the face of the legendary artifact at his fingertips - although his image is no longer visible.
β...... It's a pity,"
Listening to the words of the sinful sacrifice, Linax was silent for a long time, and then spoke again in a gloomy tone: "I am too close to Kashmeo to be its master. β
Too close to Kashmaio?
The sin priest's gaze finally moved away from the ring and returned to the lich, only to increase in surprise again - too close to Kashmeo?
β...... Demigods!"
He muttered to himself, looked at the lich standing there indifferently, and suddenly felt the urge to put 'Kashmeo's favor' on his fingers, and then laughed maniacally, taking the demigod in front of him as his slave!
Whew, whew......
The idea was so tempting that he took several deep breaths of air in a gaffe before finally dispelling the idea - a strong person who could endure a long and great pain to become a Hellfire Lich, and even gained a partial godhead, if he would make such a low-level mistake, it would be an extremely incredible thing, and there must be some tricks left in his hands!
"So, I had to find another temporary owner for it, and naturally, I thought of you and my target old enemies - in fact I was glad to have chosen a suitable time to be here, and if I met all the same daredevils as I had just done, I am afraid it would have taken me a lot more effort. β
Linax's performance continues. The magical genius of the dragons, the dragon lich so powerful that he could rival Sanin, and who really possessed some godhead, now pretended to be a strong man of a similar level, of course, he was at ease, and he showed the strong confidence and condescending posture that could not be disguised to the fullest, and the evil sacrifice believed it all without even the slightest suspicion.
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, it's what you might lose and what you might gain. His fingers danced gracefully, and the box containing the 'Kashmeo's favor' slowly floated in the air: "The old verse used to say that even the gods had to be constantly faced with choices...... And now, the time has come for you to choose: take the ring and tempt Vorsec to betray Faharu, and then receive my thanks and the reward of the mighty Tarkus, or be burned clean by my fire and disappear from this world once and for allβyou can begin. β
With the last syllable, the strange black flame silently flourished again, and the sin sacrifice seemed to hear the miserable howl of countless souls in it, and couldn't help but tremble visibly, and the hands entwined by the black silk cloth subconsciously clenched and let go, and the fluctuations of faint divine power began to gather.
"And, I have to remind you, there is no third option here. β
Linax made a few graceful movements, seemingly casually, and secretly activated the shielding device made by Fifian, and then saw the evil sacrifice in front of him suddenly freeze, and a look of horror and disbelief appeared on his originally calm face: "You know, I'm too close to those dazzling gods," he continued to speak blandly, as if it were a trivial thing he had just done: "For my safety, I learned how to avoid their gaze a long time ago- It's just a little trick, but it works, doesn't it?"
It's not just that it works well......
The Evil Priest stopped his secret movements in frustration and put his hands down. During that time just now, he was shocked to find that his sense with the main god had actually disappeared, as if a person who was accustomed to the light was suddenly locked in a dark room, and the feeling of helplessness was almost breathless, and he couldn't help but feel a little hopeless about his future after realizing the power of the lich in front of him.
In fact, as a high-ranking priest of a god in the world, his performance should not have been so bad, but in addition to the factor that the other party is too powerful, there are also some historical reasons:
Tacus, who is in charge of conspiracy and assassination, is strong and has a strong sense of revenge, and can use endless plots to drive the other party crazy for a long time, so almost no one wants to provoke such an existence, even other gods, so that the priests of these temples are more and more like intermediaries who contact the outlaws for their employers, and after thousands of years of accumulation, they have become like this.
Moreover, it is impossible for any other person, not even another demigod, to be so unscrupulous in front of him, but it is a 'Hellfire Lich', whose ability to burn all souls, along with memories, makes it completely free from the problem of leaks!
β...... It's time. β
In the midst of the cranky thoughts of the sin sacrifice, Linax indifferently spoke again: "Now, Your Excellency, please tell me your choice. β
Choice? There are still options!
The high-ranking sin priest showed a bitter smile, then coughed dryly, solemnly straightened his robe, and without the slightest hesitation, picked up 'Kashmaio's favor' and quickly brought it to his fingers.
β...... Very good. β
Linax smiled with satisfaction, "The ring has my Hellfire attached to it, and the sealing time is three days, and when my soul core is damaged, or for more than three days, it will burst out and burn your soul away. β
The High Priest's expression was not surprised, as if he had known about this arrangement for a long time.
"For three days, you can use the ring as you please, but I must warn you that in order to avoid being detected by its owner, I had to suppress its power, so the effect will be reduced. β
Linax got up to leave, and then added a sentence seemingly nonchalantly. Fifian, who claimed to have specialized in ancient crafts in the future, was familiar with these treasures, and although the imitations were strikingly similar in appearance and atmosphere, the effect of the materials used in them could only be said to be unsatisfactory.
"Yes, I will always take your commands to heart. β
He lowered his posture, and the lich finally nodded slightly in satisfaction, turned gracefully, and strolled away along the path he had come, while behind him, the High Priest of the Temple of Decay of Tarkus looked at his finger with a peerless artifact, and there was no trace of excitement.
