After returning to Sao city from the water element plane, rod plans to check the condition of Xia'an. In the room at the top of the evocation tower, he meets maxika, who is invited by Rowling.
The moment she saw rod, she trembled. She seemed to find something terrible. She raised her finger to rod, but she couldn't say anything for a moment.
"What's the matter, prophet?" Noticing what was wrong with maxika, rod asked.
"You're... Tainted with evil..." she said word by word.
Rod snorted coldly: "where do you think you are now? Elacia? I'm sorry, elacia is full of evil now, and I brought it with me. "
"No... I didn't mean that." "The breath that exists in you is not ordinary evil, but ancient and primitive. The first evil in the world, the crime of the necromancer, is not worth mentioning. There is only one who can possess this evil... "
Rod touched his head. "Please explain it in a language I can understand. I really can't understand you."
"You've been in touch with that being." "The one mentioned in the prophecy, the devil who has brought down the final judgment to the world... You are stained with the breath of that being," she said
"You mean, Lucifer kriegen..." hearing what the prophet said, rod understood her meaning.
"Shh! Don't mention the name Maxika let out a burst of exclamation, and the Amethyst on her head flashed. She quickly stopped rod's words, "this name symbolizes curse and bad luck, and nothing good happens when she mentions it."
I don't understand why the prophet reacted so much to the name. Rod didn't intend to hide the blood praise. He still needed some advice from the prophet.
From the ring of space, he took out the dagger which was blessed by the devil's power. Looking at Marcia, rod said, "I have indeed come into contact with that being. He seems to have poured his own power into my treasure and finally helped me out of danger."
According to the system log, the change in [blood praise] comes from the devil's power. There is no problem with rod's statement.
Hearing rod's words, maxika's face changed: "this is not good news. It has been mentioned in the prophecy that before the final judgment comes, whoever gets the power of the devil will belong to his followers, who will offer their own blood and soul to lead him to come. "
"It's a pity that I'm not his follower, and I don't have any idea of anything to offer him." Rod said with a sneer, "I once helped him solve a thorny problem in the future. This is the reward I deserve."
"Now you may not be his follower." "Look at the demonic weapon in your hand," sighed Marcia. "It's so evil and powerful that even an artifact can't surpass it in some ways."
"He saw your potential. In order to make you his followers, this gives you such powerful weapons. Once you get lost in the power of this weapon, you will not be far away from becoming his followers." She added.
"Although this force is powerful, it is far from touching me." Rod said in a deep voice.
The only power that can move rod's heart is the power of the system, the will of the real hero, and the powerful artifact. Few other forces can affect rod at this time.
"That's right, but the way demons lure humans is ever-changing, especially for those who don't want to lose their power, it can work easily."
Deeply aware of rod's attitude towards power, explained maxika.
"You have experienced the power of demon weapons. If one day you suddenly find that the dagger in your hand returns to its original state, and the power in it no longer exists, will you tolerate the loss of this power? What price will you pay to regain this power? "
"Although I will not be moved by this power, I will not tolerate it being taken away at will." Rod said coldly, "what will I pay to regain this power? I will gather the undead creatures under my command, and even if I come to the deepest part of hell, I will take back my power. "
"What a crazy idea," sighed maxika. But it's possible to rely on undead creatures to deal with hell creatures. "
"A long time ago, when the world was invaded by hellish creatures, a special hero was born. In my impression, he is the most powerful vampire in history. All creatures within his sight, whether human beings, angels or hell demons, will be forcibly transformed into undead creatures, except the existence of the same hero. "
"Countless bats cover his body. No legendary creature can get close to his body. He walks like a real God coming."
The words are full of reminiscence, she added.
"I always believe that with the strong love in my heart, heroes can turn everything around, do what other creatures can't do, and defeat all the enemies in front of them, whether they are good or evil. Some people call this kind of love "heroic will". In any case, it's just a change of address. "
"Then, what is the love in your heart? Hero rod Looking at rod in front of her, she asked.
Watching from the empty sockets of maxika's eyes, rod felt strange, as if she was not looking at herself, but something behind her.
Rod fell into silence for a moment. Instead of taking the words from maxika, he changed the topic and asked, "if the vampire hero you said is really so powerful, there must be some records about him in Diya. Unfortunately, I have never heard of him. What's the name of the hero? Erich
"Of course not Ehrlich. Ehrlich is not a vampire." But he was a contemporary of Erich. I have looked up all the classics of Erathia, and there is no record of the deeds of this hero. Maybe the legend about him only exists in the word of mouth of those liches. "
Just then, the purple crystal on the top of maxika's head suddenly sparkled.
"I found something interesting." "Not long ago, Ehrlich's consciousness revived, and the lich, who had died many years ago, was reborn in this era," she said slowly
