Chapter 290: "Death Spiral" Ritual, the Mysterious "Leader"
Tang Zheng was not surprised to see that Khajiit guessed that the method used to summon multiple angels was the magic scroll.
The mysterious leader who resurrected Khajiit should be able to guess the answer.
"You also know that the third-level magic scroll is very precious." Tang Zheng shrugged.
To use magic scrolls to cast magic, one needs to have the same magic system. For example, if Tang Zheng uses the "Angel Summoning" scroll, he must have a faith-based profession.
Being a "dual spellcaster" is not something surprising.
The Khajiit in front of him was one of them. He was originally a magic caster of the faith system, but later he gave up this power and switched to the magic system.
But in the opponent's career structure, there are also faith-related professions.
Tang Zheng had already considered the possibility of Khajiit's resurrection and used the magic scroll of "Angel Summoning" to disguise himself.
This made Khajiit and the leader behind the other party believe even more that Tang Zheng, the mysterious spellcaster, was only using "Angel Summoning" for disguise.
Not actually good at it.
This is to distinguish him from the "genius alchemist" Tang, an adventurer who is good at using "Angel Summoning".
This is also the moment.
Tang Zheng displayed his magical skills, which was why Khajiit was not surprised at all.
"hateful!"
Khajiit stared at Tang Zheng intently. The other party's casual and disdainful attitude made the staff in his hand creak.
The anger of being killed is not so easy to subside. Even after so long, he still can't forget the coldness when death comes and the powerlessness of struggling in the darkness.
But compared to all this, what made Khajiit resentful was that the other party destroyed everything he had worked for, which was a deep desire for "death".
"It's you, it's you!"
Khajiit exuded a strong negative energy, and his suppressed anger and resentment roared out: "You destroyed everything I have!"
The roar of gnashing teeth echoed in the cemetery in the dark night, giving people a creepy feeling.
Facing the frustrated Khajiit.
"Death spiral." Tang Zheng uttered these four words calmly.
Khajiit's distorted expression paused, and his breathing became faster. He looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief: "How could you possibly know!"
The "Spiral of Death" is an evil ritual mastered by them [Chiranon]. Their leader once turned a city into a place where the undead roamed rampant.
A completely dead city!
This is also the reason why their [Zhilanon] can be known throughout the world and are regarded as enemies and feared by many countries.
But the only people who really know the name of the ritual "Death Spiral" are the members of their organization.
"Are you surprised?"
Tang Zheng stretched out his right arm from his red robe, and a dark bead that looked like an ordinary stone appeared in his palm: "Of course it told me."
Khajiit knew exactly who "it" was referring to. He looked at his former treasure with cold eyes, filled with both fear and desire.
It was a terrifying magical item with independent consciousness. The "Orb of Death" naturally knew everything he had done before.
"That's mine!"
Khajiit took a step forward and then stopped, emphasizing loudly. His already pale and earthy face revealed a hint of complex emotions, mostly greed and desire.
After his resurrection, without the "Orb of Death", he gradually realized that his mind had been affected by it without his knowledge.
Even so!
Without the "Orb of Death", it would become more difficult and even slim to truly transform into an undead being.
In a trance! Khajiit suddenly woke up. He was not stupid and knew that Tang Zheng had brought him here not to "reminisce" with him.
He wanted to kill him! Although Zhilanong only had twelve disciples, except for some real loners, each disciple had a group of disciples who swore allegiance to them.
Even someone with a personality like Khajiit has a group of subordinates.
During this period, rumors spread that a special undead had been born in the "Common Cemetery", and a disciple hidden in "E-Rantel" passed this news to him.
Since his resurrection, Khajiit has been serving beside the leader.
Originally, he was only supposed to stay for a few months, but he witnessed the great being who could be called the "Undead King", the legendary Night Lich "Terror".
Khajiit stayed in the "Undying City", feeling the greatness and love of negative energy.
As a result, after he reported the news to the leader, he was sent away by the leader and asked to investigate "Ye-Rantel" to see whether special undead creatures were really born.
In fact, this is a disguised form of driving people away.
Khajiit felt a little uneasy, but he could only obey orders obediently. After returning to E-Rantel, he obtained information through inquiries.
He vaguely realized that it might be the work of the guy who killed him.
So, after entering the "common cemetery".
Kajit deliberately made some noise to test the waters, but he didn't expect it to be the other party!
Speaking of which.
This is his territory, and it was this bastard who destroyed everything he had! Khajiit's eyes were bloodshot again, but his eyes became much clearer. He quickly thought about Tang Zheng's real purpose and said coldly: "You should know my identity, right?"
Since he can learn about the "Spiral of Death" ritual from the "Orb of Death", it should not be a problem to know that he is a disciple of [Chiranon].
even!
The other party might have known his identity from the beginning, which was why they were able to kill him with preparation, or even steal his "Orb of Death".
"I do know something."
Tang Zheng chuckled calmly, and raised his head slightly under the red hood: "It is rumored that Zhilanon is an evil secret society that relies on the undead to take extreme actions and possesses great power."
"In addition to the organization's ruler, the 'Leader', there are twelve powerful disciples. Oh, what a formidable force."
The other party was clearly praising their organization.
But Kajit felt it was a mockery, as his most talented disciple had died at the hands of the other party, and now there were only eleven of them left!
"pity."
Tang Zheng looked around and shook his head helplessly: "It's been so long, and no one else has shown up. I originally thought I could meet the leader of your [Zhilanong] and wanted to cooperate with your leader."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I am very interested in the ritual of the 'Spiral of Death', which transforms a human body into an 'immortal' and achieves a state of near-eternity."
"Long lifespan, power that is close to immortality - this is a realm that the six legendary gods have never been able to set foot in."
"'Curse of death'? No no, this is the blessing of death!"
When Tang Zheng finished speaking, his voice sounded a little excited, but his eyes were very calm, and he even showed a look of regret.
He had just used the "Ninjutsu: Detection" to survey the surroundings, and apart from Khajiit, there was indeed no one else.
Tang Zheng's original plan was to lure out the leader of [Zhilanong], demonstrate his own strength, and use it as proof to join [Zhilanong].
And the reason? It's the "Spiral of Death" ritual and the magic item "Orb of Death".
If he could join smoothly, the matter of Abelion Hill could be perfectly blamed on [Chilanon].
If you are unable to join, you can also cooperate and put the blame on [Zhilanong].
Throughout the process.
It's nothing more than the possibility of conflict with the leader of the alliance [Zhilanong], but Tang Zheng only needs to display the power of the fifth-level magic and summon a few bone dragons.
With the "common cemetery" as the location, the possibility of violent conflict between the two sides and direct fight to the death will be reduced.
in addition!
There is another more real reason. Tang Zheng wants to confirm the identity and strength of the leader of [Zhilanong].
This is a very mysterious person.
It is so mysterious that even with Tang Zheng's current strength, he needs to use the word "vigilant".
Through the analysis of the limited intelligence, it is found that there are many disciples in Zhilanong who have reached the heroic level.
The person Tang Zheng killed in the wetlands was one of them. The fact that the leader was able to suppress this group of people showed that his strength was at least at the "hero level".
If only that were the case.
Tang Zheng didn't need to be described as "alert" based on the only indirect intelligence he had.
Khajiit once arrogantly mentioned that "it is impossible for a magic caster to defeat a bone dragon", but if their leader asked, "Can you say the same thing to me again?", he would lower his head with all his strength.
Through this.
Does this mean that the leader possesses the power to defeat the bone dragon—the seventh-level magic? Tang Zheng was not sure.
In order to defeat the bone dragon, in addition to using magic above the 6th level, you can also attack the bone dragon through summoning magic.
After all, the bone dragon is only a level 16 monster, and its strength is only at the level of a platinum-level adventurer.
"Is this your purpose?"
Khajiit half lowered his head. The shadow cast by the ruined temple prevented him from seeing the other party's expression at the moment. Only his shoulders kept shaking.
Suddenly.
Khajiit raised his head again, his corrupt and old face distorted: "Hahahaha, you ignorant fellow, who do you think you are!"
"Humph, you are worthy of cooperating with the leader, provoking [Zhilanong], and you even dare to appear in front of me, bastard!"
"Your existence has affected the dignity of Zhilanon. If this is your last words, then let it end here!"
Right now!
Khajiit felt that he had completely understood Tang Zheng's purpose. The other party coveted the eternal life of the "immortal".
Most likely it was due to the influence of the "Orb of Death".
As the former owner of this magical item, Khajiit knew too well the influence and bewitching effect that the Orb of Death had on the mind of its owner.
Facing Khajiit, who was laughing crazily and exuding an increasingly strong aura of negative energy.
Tang Zheng stared at the other person quietly, his eyes calm.
This guy's strength level is even lower than before in the ninjutsu detection, but he seems to be overflowing with confidence at this moment.
