The Truth of Magic

Chapter 615 The Devil's Device, the Land of Death and Life

"The founder of the Nine Swords?"

This name almost made Zhao Xu unable to lift his head.

For Zhao Xu, who had already made up his mind to postpone the five-ring magic and directly switch to the nine swords from the magic route of the double elite profession, he suddenly felt a strange feeling of "worshiping".

In particular, this old man still looks so like the legendary figure of a strong man with unkempt appearance and supernatural powers.

"I don't read much, but don't lie to me." Zhao Xu shook his head immediately and said, "I've read all the genealogies of the Eastern Empire. From the founding of the country to the present, there is no one named Ying Bubai."

Not long ago, he met Ying Ergou, the current powerhouse of the Eastern Land Empire. The other party's seniority has caught up with the founding group, and there is no "no" generation in the generation after him.

Immediately, the old man in front of him stroked his gray beard and laughed heartily, "When magic became a system, that was before the establishment of the magic empire."

"If the Nine Swords System hadn't gone through hundreds of years of accumulation and formation, where would the Eastern Earth Empire come from?" After finishing speaking, the old man Ying Bubai looked at Zhao Xu's face, "Even the descendants of those big families in the Eastern Earth Empire, You may not be able to read the entire chronology honestly, it seems that you are also interested in joining our Nine Swords system."

"That's right."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it was just as if he was dozing off, and someone handed him a pillow.

It would be too much of a coincidence.

"But you are already a mage, do you want to take the route of 'Master Yufeng'? Then I have to remind you that although Mage Yufeng is the best in the Nine Swords Advancement, but at level 1 and level 6 both Unable to improve the arcane level, it may not be a good deal for you mages who are one step away from heaven and earth."

The old man looked at Zhao Xu with deep eyes and said.

"Mr., before I talk about the details of Nine Swords, can I ask a question, where is this place?" Zhao Xu realized that it might become Nine Swords School if he went around, so he quickly turned back to the topic.

"Ah."

But the old man shook his head contemptuously, "Young people are impetuous. They must know all kinds of dharmas in the world, and they will all lead to the same goal in the end. If you and I are discussing, how do you know that it is not the same thing?"

As he spoke, he paused the thick wooden sword in his hand. On the originally soft soil, there was a dull noise on the ground. In an instant, the old man's whole body exuded a certain "uniqueness" feeling, which was not visible at all. The slightest flaw.

It also made Zhao Xu hesitate for the first time. If he wanted to attack the old man in front of him, from which aspect should he make a breakthrough.

Like facing a mountain, like facing an abyss, this is a kind of oppressiveness from the heart.

"Please advise." Zhao Xu also said humbly.

He had already realized that the old man he met this time was different from the strong Arthurs he had met before.

"The question you asked involves another question, and it also involves why you were hunted down and why there are so many undead creatures in this land."

Speaking of which, the old man sat on the ground indifferently, with his right hand still holding the wooden sword just now, as if he couldn't let it go at all.

"Have you heard of the 'Devil Lord Device'?"

After a long time, the white-haired old man opened his pupils again, and the light in his pupils instantly turned into lightning, which penetrated directly into Zhao Xu's heart.

"What kind of ability is this?" Zhao Xu was instantly surprised.

In this short moment, the old man instilled all the knowledge points about the Demon King's device into his mind, which immediately disturbed the domain of consciousness in his mind like a paste.

All kinds of concepts, like gunpowder kegs being sprayed, exploded in all directions, spreading all over the sky.

"So, these are all a question. But I also confirmed one thing, you are indeed very curious, my friend, very good, very good."

As he spoke, the old man continued to stroke his long beard, "This is one of the abilities of this 'ancient weapon' in my hand - 'preaching'. It can save another person many years of effort by means of 'enlightenment'. know."

"Similar to our sorcerer's one-ring spell'Scholar's Touch'?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but compare.

The Scholar's Touch can be called a quick-start book for a scumbag and a friend of a top student. It can transform the content of a book into a general impression and instill it into the mind of the recipient.

"Look at what I told you first, and then ask questions." Suddenly, the old man seemed to be compared by Zhao Xu with a ring of magic, and he flashed up to his waist, turning his head away with the appearance of "rotten wood can't be carved".

Zhao Xu also calmed down and carefully browsed the content that the old man had instilled, bit by bit.

His face also became a little heavy.

Because, this similar feeling is not the "Scholar's Touch", but the specialty of "Wisdom Spellcaster".

However, the next moment Zhao Xu looked at the content about the "devil king's device" that was passed on, he began to show an even more incredible look!

The devil device, as the name suggests, is a tool used by the evil devil to destroy the world, and to reproduce the glory of the doomsday—the best way to destroy the world.

Even from a certain point of view, this device is no less than an artifact specially made to destroy the world.

No matter what kind of magic item it is, the manufacturing formula essentially points to some kind of spell, and the devil's device points to a controlled wish in a certain sense.

At this time, what the other party passed to Zhao Xu was a recipe for the manufacture of the "devil king's device". If he had level 17, it would be a crucial step.

As for the remaining specialties of making strange objects, they can all be simulated with potential points.

However, Zhao Xu frowned, and then he turned his head to look at the traces around him, "Looking at this introduction, the devil's device needs a special manufacturing base, maybe even a manifest area, and there are at least 60% of the raw materials. I haven't even heard the name."

"Not to mention, even if the manufacturing is successful, long-term testing is required to achieve the strongest effect. And this process has to withstand catastrophic failure. What's more exaggerated is that the activation of the device requires sufficient knowledge and skill checks, and even Special 'experiences' or some form of 'magic' and 'psychic power'."

As Zhao Xu said, he shook his head, "These attributives alone make me feel that making a devil's device is probably more difficult than making an artifact with a mortal body. Mr. Ying, what you mean is that there is a devil's device here. Driving these undead?"

"What should be told to you, I have already told you, you can see for yourself." The old man Ying Bubai just paused his head and did not explain much.

Zhao Xu also glanced at ten lines at once, and flipped through the "manufacturing example" at the end in an instant.

"Emerald Revenant Machine - Registered with bones and the flesh of the undead, it can turn corpses within a 3-kilometer radius into zombies controlled by the device owner."

"Mirror of the Dead's Gathering Soul—It looks like a giant telescope, but after the lens is focused, it can project negative energy in the area, similar to causing minor injuries to groups?"

"Magic black hole - can cover the anti-magic force field effect within a range of 5 kilometers, and the construction requirement is at a special magic intersection point."

After reading these few chapters, Zhao Xu felt that the cause of this wave of undead was inseparable from the devil's device.

Even the meteorite that fell from the sky destroyed the entire "Palace of Eldraine" with a radius of 50 kilometers in the Twilight Forest before, and the "anti-magic field" that emitted the same range after that, all have similarities with this "devil king device".

"Senior, what do you mean, there is a 'devil king's device' buried in this mysterious cave, and it is the source of the 'wave of undead' that overturned the entire barbaric dead zone?"

"Even say, it is the culprit of the special environment of the wild and dead land?"

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help clenching his fists. The death of countless people on earth was not caused by a special area formed by the intersection of planes, but by an "artificial" device.

Regarding this, the old man said with regret, "You are very smart, but not smart enough."

"You should think about it the other way around. It's this special area that gave birth to the Demon King's device. This complements each other."

In an instant, Zhao Xu broke out in cold sweat, realizing that he had suppressed his mood because of the number of casualties in the wave of undead that erupted before, as well as the "shadow" that had damaged no less than half of the earth's people because of countless waves of undead in his previous life. The previous detachment.

"Senior taught you a lesson. Is that Demon King device near here?" Zhao Xu asked.

At this time, his eyes were already ignited with raging flames, and he also silently pulled out a scroll case from his waist, holding tightly a scroll embroidered with black and gold secret silk.

Different from other magic scrolls written on parchment, this is also a dragon skin scroll, showing its extraordinaryness.

"Mage Disintegration" magic scroll!

At this moment, Zhao Xu was holding a "tactical nuclear warhead", a "weapon of mass destruction" that could make an archmage howl when activated.

Suddenly, the old man who was still there looked at this scene and shook his head, "It's too cruel for a young man to go out with deadly props that can ruin his family."

"You have to know that if you throw this thing out, it will be an endless situation."

"Isn't this just right for the current situation?" Zhao Xu said seriously.

"It makes sense, but the premise is that you have enough scrolls to destroy a total of ninety-nine demon king devices in this cave." Suddenly the old man showed a mysterious smile.

Ninety-nine!

This cold and cruel number almost made Zhao Xu unconscious.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

Because of Zhao Xu's dual elite professions, the will of the professions alone was at level 13.

You must know that level 20 mages only provide level 12 will saves.

Not to mention the resistance bonus of level 5 great sage vestment, the luck bonus provided by the wealth of level 10 relic explorer, as well as the Ain Stone (level 1 performance), a ring of faith spell (level 5 morale), It is directly the 38th order.

So at this moment, the firm willpower in his heart is beyond everyone's imagination.

Even if an archmage cast a five-ring "mentally retarded spell" on Zhao Xu, he wouldn't suffer that kind of disaster.

"It's strange why there are so many?" The old man looked at the silent Zhao Xu and said.

"No, I'm surprised why you, old man, told me so much." Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Especially the knowledge that I just preached, if I exaggerate it, I can re-enact the devil's device."

"The so-called courteous people must ask for something. It's not the old man. Are you this kind of enthusiastic person?"

The premise is that he is level 17, Zhao Xu said silently in his heart.

"Well. That's right."

At this moment, the old man Ying Ergou stood up abruptly. Looking at the rock-like barriers around him, he shouted, "Then why didn't I know that back then?"

In an instant, the muscles and muscles all over his body seemed to swell, as if there was boundless strength hidden under his stooped and thin body.

"I'm telling you this mainly because you're going to die, or it's not much different from being dead."

The old man's words revealed a ruthless tone, as if the sky had broken through the sky.

"These ninety-nine demon king devices full of death and killing are all made by another me who is a mage."

"And as the master of Nine Swords, I created the hundredth Demon King device, but it was used to imprison me."

Speaking of the old man, he looked at the loess that seemed to be floating with dust all the time, "The source of the drive of the devil's device is the dragon crystal vein deep in the ground, and this device of mine is essentially swallowing and sinking, so the wearer When the dragon crystal appears nearby, you will be automatically attracted to complete the cycle of the dragon crystal."

"Since you are attracted to this place, you can't get out, because this place is used to imprison me as a mage, and you, a mage, have no hope of breaking through."

As he spoke, the old man shook his head, "What's more frightening is that after the other me wakes up, he will use you, so for the sake of the world, I have to kill you first, and let this land swallow you up."

"Think about it, if you die after knowing the cause and effect, don't you feel that your death is also valuable and you have made a contribution to this world?"

At this time, Zhao Xu became more and more surprised as he listened. He didn't expect the old man to decide his life and death with just a few words.

Just watching him raise the wooden sword, even Zhao Xu, who was already almost physically immune, couldn't help feeling flustered in his heart, and said quickly, "Old man, you're schizophrenic, maybe I can use 'memory' Spells' to correct you."

Unexpectedly, the old man continued to shake his head and walked towards him, shaking the wooden stick in his hand, "The other me is a legendary mage. Do you think he knows this kind of pediatric magic, but he hasn't dispelled my thoughts so far."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. After all, you seem to have something to do with An girl, so I won't make you suffer."

"You just eat my eight-stage White Crow Hammer honestly, and pass out."

Zhao Xu hurriedly argued, "You have the strength of iron heart, that's different."

Suddenly, the old man stopped walking, "Did Antinoya tell you? It's really worrying, don't you remember that I swore not to reveal it? Everyone in Ernest's line takes it as their own." oath to fart?"

"etc!"

At this moment, Zhao Xu shouted.

Because the moment the old man swung his sword, he already felt the power of the "anti-magic field" repressed.

His life-saving spells such as "Shivering Touch", "Swift Burst", and "Bouncy Ball" all lost their power in an instant.

"I'll tell you one more thing. The rule of this place is that as long as you think about casting a spell, you will be banned."

"It's all right if you know the secret of the 'power of iron heart', let's bring it under the dirt together."

"Dragon Break!" At this time, the old man suddenly changed his moves.

In an instant, the shadow of the wooden sword came towards Zhao Xu's forehead.

"It was the final scroll that told me."

The wooden sword hangs in the air.
