Chapter 224: The Irresistible Temptation (Part I)
"Salin, this doesn't look like you!" Rex said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. It seems to be a little tasty.
Saleen's face flushed, his performance was too obvious. Rex went straight to him, and he didn't even know what to say.
"You still have time to think about it, let's go to the third temple first, there will be no danger there, and then send the coordinates back here for the mages to calculate. It will take three months at the earliest to get results. In order to go to the main shrine, I have specially prepared a lot of materials and equipment, you can take a look at it first and consider who to bring to help. ”
"Help? What do you mean?" Salin didn't understand, because there was no defensive magic array in the temple, and no matter what magic array it was, it would have stopped working for tens of thousands of years.
"Don't you know? The Black Sky Demon God, who was hunted down by the Four Great Empires, disappeared into the Purgatory Desert. Even if the Black Sky Demon God didn't survive, he would definitely leave something dangerous behind. Black magic, you should understand, until the root cause is completely eliminated, the demon god will not disappear. ”
"You don't think that there are people around me who can deal with the Black Sky Demon God, do you? Even the Three Kings can't do it. ”
"Three Kings?"
Salin briefly talked about the origin of the three kings, Rex thought about it, and said: "The three kings will definitely not be able to deal with the Black Sky Demon God, but the most terrifying thing about the Black Sky Demon God is not magic. It's his hand-to-hand combat ability. Imagine a monster with the power of a hundred shikas, and then add the weirdness of Neris and the dark magic. But the Black Sky Demon God must have died, and what we may encounter is only the descendants of the Demon God. ”
Isn't that terrible, the Earth Dragons are still the descendants of the Dark Dragons, and the difference in strength is hundreds of times.
"But, Rex, you know what's in the main temple. You have to tell me now, or I won't let anyone else go on my adventures. ”
Saleen suddenly calmed down, and he continued: "These people who follow me should not give everything unconditionally. I'm a magician, and I have to give them fair treatment. ”
"It's nothing, the goddess Myers has four trees, the Tree of Life, the Tree of Elements, the Tree of Knowledge, and the Tree of Taboo. In the main shrine there are the seeds of these four trees. ”
Salin suddenly became dumb, these four divine trees have supreme divine power. If you get a leaf of the Tree of Life, the divine power in your body will hardly be extinguished, no matter how serious the consumption is, as long as you don't die. That left hand will be restored to its original state.
It's just a leaf, and if it's a fruit, if you eat it, you're afraid you'll live forever.
If you have the Elemental Tree, you will be the strongest magician, at least no matter what forbidden spells you use, you won't put pressure on yourself.
What about the Tree of Knowledge? That will give you infinite wisdom and instantly see through the secrets of this world. If you have the Tree of Knowledge, you only need to use one level 1 magic to break all the high-level magic.
If you have the Forbidden Tree, you will upset the balance of this plane and give birth to a new god. It's unthinkable?
"Aren't these four trees already withered?" Salin's voice was hoarse, no matter how good his mentality was, he couldn't be indifferent to the news.
In the history of the continent of Myers, although Myers was not the creator, he was the first god born in this plane. Each of the four sacred trees she owns is equivalent to a doppelganger of the goddess.
"How do you think the Purgatory Desert came about? The Lord of Radiance wanted to come to the Myers Continent to take advantage of it, and forcibly descended despite the constraints of the plane's rules. That time, four sacred trees were on fire. The Purgatory Desert was created. The Lord of Radiance almost fell, and never dared to descend on this plane again, only to let his followers spread the teachings. ”
The news was even more shocking, and Saleen didn't ask Rex how he knew about it, as the history of the Grykos family was very old, dating back to the Second Dynasty. With such an ancient bloodline, it is normal for some secrets to be handed down.
Sarin tried to calm himself down and asked, "Rex, let's assume it's true, there are four divine tree seeds there, but how many years will it take for this seed to grow into a divine tree?"
"It won't be too long, one or two thousand years at most. ”
Saleen breathed a sigh of relief, and Rex continued, "But I have a way to make them grow in a few years. ”
Salin smiled bitterly and said, "If you tell me this, I won't be able to go." ”
"Why, if you don't talk about our friendship, I can't even mess with your teacher. If you don't want to go, I'll get someone else to help you. Of course, you don't want the four sacred trees. Rex gave a rare sly look. She had calculated that for the sake of the Elemental Tree alone, Salin would not be able to refuse the invitation.
"I have only one question, who else knows about the seeds of these four trees except you?"
"There is no one else, and it was only after my father's death that I got this news from the Ring of the HRE. If I die, the person who inherits the Ring of the HRE will pass on the news. ”
"If I had known, I wouldn't have asked. Salin said sullenly. This secret is only heard by himself. This is not a good thing, and it is not something to boast about.
"Salin, you're getting bolder!" Rex sighed. She found that Saleen had lost his former sharpness.
"No way, there are many people who follow me, and I have to be responsible for them. ”
"You don't look like a Scorpian. Rex immediately understood what Saleen meant, changed to an intimate tone, and teased Saleen. She had also experienced this kind of transformation, so she understood Saleen's words very well.
"Okay, don't talk about that, take advantage of the absence of anyone else, tell me your plan. Saleen knew that he couldn't go if he didn't go, and Rex told him the secret, and if he didn't go, there would be too much trouble.
"To go to the main temple, it takes about twenty people, and there will definitely be damage, so you have to be mentally prepared. Rex's words were a little cold, but Saleen understood. This kind of adventure sometimes depends on luck, not that if you are strong enough, you will be fine. Maybe in ancient times, humans could not take the gods seriously, but now, a purgatory desert. It will make most of the strong people of the human race stay.
"Salin, it was quite dangerous, but now that you have a ready-made magic chariot, it is much safer. But the skeleton war horse can't enter the purgatory desert, and the breath left by the goddess will make the soul of the skeleton war horse burn directly. If we can get a mechanical undead cart, we can save a lot of time in the Purgatory Desert. ”
"Mechanical undead, ask the Three Kings for yourself, what kind of monster is that. We can't control it at all. ”
"There are no uncontrollable undead, as long as they get one out, after we subdue it, I will send all the great magicians to calculate a safe contract formula. Forcibly capture it. ”
Rex's idea was absolutely whimsical, but that's how the original summoning technique was created, forcibly capturing a creature, then using a magic formula to calculate its weaknesses, and the mage designed a contract suitable for the creature. However, in the future, there were countless branches of contract magic, and most species had a common contract formula, and no one used this stupid method anymore.
This is not something that anyone can do, at least with a large number of mages like Rex.
"Okay, the matter of the mechanical undead, for the time being, I will take Shika, Neris, and Zola, and you will be responsible for the rest of the people. Saleen made his choice quickly.
The people around him, Schika and Neris can be trusted, and Zola's swordsmanship is the most powerful. Although this person is not in tune, his combat effectiveness is beyond reproach. If Sika and Neris don't use their special abilities, let alone defeat Zola, they won't even be able to make a move in front of Zola.
From this point of view, Zola may not be able to defeat Neris and Schika, but if they kill together, Zola will definitely surpass the two women next to Sarah. By the time Neris had killed ten of her enemies, Zola might have killed more than fifty. Moreover, Zola is a sword master, and after being blessed by magic, the effect is far greater than that of Neris and Sika, two people who don't know sword qi.
Saleen chose this way, and he didn't want to take the magician of Shrig Island. After all, this adventure is more dangerous for the magician. There are so many mages around Rex, so let them all come out.
Rex smiled, and she comforted Salin: "This time I went back, the teacher prepared a sufficient amount of magic liquid for me, as long as the person is not dead, I can even let the wounded bathe in the magic liquid." ”
Salin showed a hint of warmth, the eighth-level magician can make magic liquid, and there is a limit every day. Rex's teacher had prepared so much liquid. It would take a lot of time, and it would even affect his practice.
"I will bring two fifth-level mages, four fourth-level mages, two black iron sword masters, and the rest of the people are all high-level sword masters. By the way, there's also a cook. Rex said with a smile.
"Cook?"
"The one I picked up in the west town of Holy Rock City is the Hercules who has the strength of Sikabi. ”
"Hah!" Salin remembered, the straightforward fellow.
Having chosen a candidate, Rex and Salin continued to discuss the equipment, Rex had prepared a lot of equipment before returning, but knowing that Salin had mastered the alchemy of Shuiyan, Rex reformulated a plan for Salin to refine magic armor for all the swordsmen who accompanied him.
Next, Saleen and Rex began to measure the coordinates of the temple and began to build a teleportation array in and around the temple. The teleportation array of the temple is very small, and it can be set up first, this teleportation array cannot teleport living people and living creatures, only items, and it is relatively easy to set up. Salin and Neris and Sika confessed to Rex, and to Zola, he did not tell the secret of the four sacred trees, but only told Zola that the adventure was definitely worth it.
Salin couldn't help it, he didn't want to deceive Zola, and he couldn't tell him the truth. The fewer people know Rex's secret, the better.
