505 The clouds and fog have dispersed, pointing to the treasure
“Who are you?”
A woman who was trembling all over and her hands were shaking so much that she could not hold her weapon steadily said. Her face, which was originally covered in heavy makeup, was now stained with blood, making her look like a crazy woman from the countryside.
However, it was useless no matter how curious she was. In the exchange just now, she had been defeated and lost the ability to fight. Her life and death depended on the other party.
Surprisingly, Zhao Xu didn’t say anything.
In his eyes, from the beginning of the slaughter, the entire battle had been going on.
The status bar kept reminding him that ” Reaper Godhead fragment awakening ” was happening.
This time, he could clearly feel the life force gushing over with every kill he made.
Every swing of his staff was an praise to life.
Until that moment just now, when he put in a lot of effort to knock down the fourth sister of the six sisters.
After the death of this level 13 rogue, he directly advanced to level 8.
The moment he leveled up, a miniature of the will of death appeared behind him.
“Lacus, what’s going on?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but call out to the divine artifact’s will that was in a semi-silent state.
“Um, about that, master, what do you want to hear?” Lacus said in a low voice.
“A fair, objective, and rigorous statement.” Zhao Xu immediately closed the hole.
“that means you’re too full to do anything and your energy is overflowing.” Lacus explained, ” master, you’ve been killing from start to finish and absorbed too much.
“that’s not right.” Zhao Xu immediately pointed it out. I only managed to level up after I came out of the palace of Azur and killed many people. How many days has it been? ”
” if killing could level up so quickly, then the average level of warriors on the battlefield would have been level 5 long ago. ”
“Well, about this.” Lacus was also having a headache. She knew that Zhao Xu wasn’t as easy to fool as he used to be.
“The main thing is that you’re a player, master. You’re naturally able to absorb this life force easily. Otherwise, you players wouldn’t have been able to climb so fast. on the other hand, master, you still have the death god’s divine fragment. in the past, you only had one mouth here, but now you have two mouths to eat, so the efficiency will definitely be different.”
When he heard Lux say this, Zhao Xu also felt that something was off. so you’re saying that the side effects are quite severe? ”
hey, master, how can you say that? if there really is an irreversible after-effect, countless people will shout for me to level up to 100, okay? ” Lacus was indignant.
“ha.” zhao xu was annoyed. ” don’t think i don’t know that you’re the one behind this. ”
“Hehe, it’s done.” Lacus ‘voice gradually lowered. didn’t miss Antonya give you a’ staff of the realm of decline ‘before, so that you could make do with it before you reach level 8? ”
“In the end, your master’s power increased dramatically after you cast this death spell. With the divine fragment and the fact that I’ve also reduced your energy consumption, you immediately broke through.”
I’m guessing that’s miss Antonya’s intention as well. Otherwise, what’s the point of giving you a staff in advance to enjoy the next level of a level 4 divine spell? it’s all for the sake of letting you awaken the Shard of will from the god of death’s divine persona through killing every day when you cast spells.
Zhao Xu finally understood.
Why did Antonya give him a staff with 50 energy shots, and even said that she would give him two energy shots a day, giving him 25 days to reach level 8?
“You should tell me earlier next time.” zhao xu said.
Lacus shook her head. master, this is different.
death is the law of this world. It is like the cycle of the Four Seasons.
“The land you spread is their ultimate destination, not a result deliberately created.”
if dying alone is useful, wouldn’t it be better if miss Antonya asked you to kill all the mutated spiders in your dimensional bag and then ascend to the legendary level? ”
Zhao Xu also sighed when he heard this.
it seems like I have to hurry back to Starfall town.
Ever since he had reached Level 6 and left Mystra, his Foundation had not been very solid. He had been fighting monsters and killing people all along the way. He had not stopped for a moment.
that’s right, master. Quickly settle your romantic debt and go back to turtle up for a while. After choosing a new level 9 wizard advancement, read that notebook of yours and successfully reach level 9.
“It’s time for you to put an end to the troubles in this world.”
“Where did I get the romantic debt?” Zhao Xu said, ” what’s wrong with me being so brave and helping out? ”
yes, yes, yes, but we spellcasters should, in essence, work hard on production and strengthen logistics.
Zhao Xu nodded silently and agreed with what Lux said.
his gaze returned to the woman in front of him. she was the fifth sister of the six sisters.
where are Flay and Madam Ellie, who you’ve captured, locked up? ” Zhao Xu asked politely.
“Then you’ve come to the wrong place.”
Even though Marta had been defeated by Zhao Xu in one strike, he still said stubbornly, ”
“Don’t be silly.” Zhao Xu laughed and said, ” if it wasn’t for the fact that your big sister is an advanced wizard and that this is the altar of the God that your second sister, who is a priest, believes in, do you think the Alliance wouldn’t be able to locate it? ”
” or are you really so kind as to bring them to the exchange? ”
Mages had powerful positioning methods such as ” creature positioning spell ” and ” location perception.
In fact, the ninth-circle mage, Nash, who knew Flay and Madam Ellie, could quickly detect their location the moment he made his move.
However, with a sword, there was a shield. Arthur also had a way to counter this.
Those who wanted to kidnap rich people to do big business were simply courting death if they didn’t have any means to shield themselves from detection.
in arthur, there were still kidnapping and trafficking cases because ordinary families couldn’t afford to pay the casting fees of hundreds and thousands of gold coins.
Especially when the mage did not know the location of the target, the requirements were even more demanding.
Zhao Xu’s words were very simple. Either the other party had two people with them, or they were locked up here.
Because this place was protected by magic and even divine power, it could not be detected and located.
“Ha, then you can go ahead.” marta looked around at the situation.
Her big sister, second sister, and third sister had already left for the large-scale kidnapping against the Alliance.
The fourth sister of the Rogue who was left in the base camp had died not far in front of her. The sixth sister was the first to encounter the other party, and now her whereabouts were unknown.
The subordinates around them, who had followed them for many years, were either dead or injured. They didn’t even have the chance to cry out.
her only hope was for her three sisters to sense that something was wrong here and rush back immediately.
“If you think they’re here, then you can go and search for them. There are indeed slaves and hostages we captured down there, but you can see if Flay and Allie are there.” marta could not help but laugh.
It was as if he was mocking the man in front of him for getting nothing.
“You could have made a deal with us, using the location of our base to exchange for the two of them. But it’s too late now.”
As he spoke, Marta looked at Zhao Xu with a ferocious gaze and said, ” they’re probably very important to you. When my sisters come back, they’ll go to the secret place to punish those two prostitutes.
they’re safe and sound now, but because of your actions, they definitely won’t want to live anymore.
just you wait. A month later, you might see them disfigured and with broken limbs in the lowest-class brothel.
As he said this, Marta looked at Zhao Xu with a smug expression and waited for his pained and worried expression.
But Zhao Xu was still extremely calm and treated it as if the other party was just threatening the plants.
It turned out that there was another hiding place.
Or rather, it was the place where the six sisters hid their treasures.
Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Zhao Xu’s mind. He said disdainfully, ” I don’t believe that you guys would dare to slap the Alliance in the face like this.
Kidnapping was one thing, and crippling them was another.
As Zhao Xu spoke, he activated his ” concealed spellcasting ” skill, and the action of casting the spell turned into a dance of his fingertips.
At the same time, he also activated the ‘silence’ ring on his hand to hide his voice.
This made Marta think that he had simply changed the position of the badge on his chest.
But in reality, Zhao Xu had already completed the level 3 Paladin spell and Level 4 cleric spell, lie detection.
As Zhao Xu focused his attention on Marta, who was sitting on the sand and looking lifeless, he slowly gained the ability to tell if she was lying.
Marta already knew that his life was as weak as a Candle in the Wind and could be extinguished at any time.
she found it difficult to breathe, but her loathing for the executioner in front of her was constantly aroused. she immediately cursed, “don’t pretend to be silly. donder dared to dispatch you here, but you’re really acting like a little white sheep? You don’t know anything?”
“it was donder who broke the promise first and started it!”
[appraisal: not a lie]
Zhao Xu didn’t look confused at all as he listened to this conversation that didn’t make any sense at all. Instead, he couldn’t help but smile as if he had everything planned out and that he was donder’s trusted aide.
The divine spell ‘lie identification’ would not reveal the truth, nor could it discover unintentional mistakes or excuses.
as long as marta felt that she was not lying, the spell would not be revealed.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was standing on the blood-stained yellow ground and looking at his fifth sister Marta, who was not very smart and had been arranged to be tortured, enslaved, and taken hostage.
He bent down and said,”isn’t it Klose?” it’s not a big deal, he’s just a dog under commander donder.”
“don’t you dare insult my father!” Marta suddenly shouted!
She gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them. If it wasn’t for the fact that her legs had already been injured by Zhao Xu, she would have crawled up and bit Zhao Xu even if she had to.
[ appraisal: not a lie ]
The status bar was still coldly displaying the results of the spell to Zhao Xu.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xu just stood there in a daze for a while.
so that’s how it was. the “treasure of olu city’s underground forces” that klose told him before he died was essentially the “treasure hiding spot” of the six sisters.
Their father-daughter relationship made it so that everything was inseparable.
the goddess of commerce in the city could obviously keep the money.
Klose also had to take off his pants to fart and store his belongings, so naturally, he had ‘large amounts of property of unknown origin’ and many ‘magic items’ that needed to be hidden.
Even the six sisters who were waiting there from time to time would be able to get revenge for Zhao Xu if they ran into him.
A lot of things made sense after this string was connected.
Why did the six sisters take the risk to kidnap donder’s wife and daughter? they were warning him with their own ability and waiting for an answer from him.
Because with Klose’s ability in Olu city, after eliminating many suspicions, only donder could do such a ” seamless ” job.
It made them suspect that donder was the one behind it.
If donder’s explanation could prove that it wasn’t him, the six sisters would be satisfied. It wouldn’t be a problem for them to direct a heroic rescue operation and make donder’s prestige higher.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but shake his head. He was still too young and inexperienced.
Before Zhao Xu had appeared, anyone in Olu city would have been a possible candidate to kill Klose.
After Zhao Xu had jumped out at the party, no one had thought about what had happened that night.
But donder, who had all the information about the entire city of Olu, knew that this was the doing of outsiders.
naturally, zhao xu, who had just appeared, was the biggest suspect.
therefore, donder arranged for him to escort the exchanged hostages to the destination agreed by the six sisters.
In essence, it was to send him into The Tiger’s Den, and let the older sisters test him through magic, blood relations, and even divine grace to see if he was the real murderer.
A Lord’s position, there was no need to be afraid of him not entering the trap.
and if he was not, a player with the highest level who had proven that he could kill without using a divine weapon was also worth using the lord position to win him over.
After thinking things through, Zhao Xu walked over to the dead fourth sister of the six Bandit sisters.
This rogue, who specialized in stealth and assassination, was indeed the most threatening person he had encountered since entering this cave.
It was just a magic dagger, but it wasn’t enough to break through the 100% damage reduction effect of Zhao Xu’s stellar cloak.
Before the power of Zhao Xu’s cloak was revealed, anyone who tried to assassinate him in close combat would have to pay a bloody price.
“Talking to the dead.”
After he knelt down, Zhao Xu quietly put his finger on the man’s forehead and cast the spell.
In any case, it was an instinctive conversation with the corpse, so it didn’t matter if the soul was there or not.
“Haha, naive. Do you think we haven’t considered the consequences of being captured? Do you think it’s a gift from the heavens that our base camp can survive for so long?” The Marta soldiers didn’t let go of this opportunity to mock Zhao Xu.
“Interesting,”
Zhao Xu nodded.
The spell he cast just now was to allow a corpse to temporarily recover a little bit of life and intelligence, thus making it possible to talk.
however, sister si’s entire body immediately turned into a corpse, and the speed of her corpse’s mutation was shocking.
“A bunch of pitiful people.” Zhao Xu shook his head. the moment she was lost, she was turned into an undead zombie. This was clearly part of your big sister’s plan. She did it so that you wouldn’t leak anything even after you died. She really went all out.
“That’s right, so don’t even think about getting any information from me. I’ve been waiting for this moment to make you despair, hahaha!”
As he spoke, Marta continued to spit out black blood. He had already crushed the poison capsule hidden in his teeth and committed suicide on the spot.
“I know where you hide your treasures. Isn’t it the underground of the Frostfall on black blood peak?”
Zhao Xu suddenly said.
marta, who was about to lose consciousness, opened his eyes wide. his legs kept pushing hard, as if he wanted to get up.
“How do I know?”
“It’s simple. I killed Klose.”
“Thump.” When Marta heard the last sentence, he lost all strength in his legs. His eyes turned white as he stared at the Top of the Rock cave with a ferocious look of disbelief.
Zhao Xu touched his head. It looked like killing someone was still a little too cruel.
However, the next step was to inform the Holy guard Knights to come here and rescue the hostages.
As for him, he was heading to the place where he had harvested his gains.
The “treasure” that the six sisters and kuloze had been hiding for many years.
