Chapter 468 You Can’t Learn the “Longevity” Magic Ritual
The atmosphere in the carriage was frozen.
On top of the frame of the luxurious carriage, two magic casters were the first to notice the abnormality inside the carriage.
A look of horror filled his face!
These two are renowned in the Imperial Magical World, and are Fluder's direct disciples, great magicians who possess 4th-tier magical abilities.
"teacher?"
The middle-aged magic chanter exchanged glances with his companions, suppressed his inner shock, anger, and panic, and asked in a relatively calm voice.
The other magic chanter has already activated the props on his body, ready to launch a magic attack at any time.
Rolling~
Rolling~
The eight-legged horse snorted as it pulled the luxurious carriage along the main stone road of the imperial capital. The wheels rubbed against the ground, vibrating gently.
"Nothing." A faint and old voice came from the carriage.
The two magic casters breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions were extremely grim.
Being able to serve by the teacher's side!
Listening to the teacher's teachings is an honor for the entire empire... no, it is an honor for all magic casters.
Warriors like Gazef of the Kingdom and Renas, the traitor of the Empire, performed on the battlefields this autumn.
Let the two of them become famous throughout the kingdom!
Speaking of magic casters.
No one can be like the teacher, whose fame is no longer limited to the country, but spreads to all countries.
This is the strongest magic caster in the empire, and the most outstanding magic caster in every nation—the "Triple Magic Caster" Fluder Paradine!
His talent and strength have already reached the level of the legendary thirteen heroes.
This is a living legend!
The two of them actually didn't notice that someone had sneaked into the carriage. Such irresponsibility and negligence were enough to greatly reduce their status in the teacher's heart!
in particular……
Is there any leakage and loss of imperial intelligence?
Silence reigned inside the carriage.
Fluda's eyes became dim, his drooping eyelids covering half of his eyes as he stared at Tang Zheng, who was dressed mysteriously opposite him.
【Zhilanong】?
This is a mysterious secret society that was supposed to be little known to the public, but the outbreak of the Hill Incident made this organization completely known to outsiders.
now.
This organization has long been labeled "evil"!
"Leader?"
Fluder looked up and said in an unfathomable, steady voice, "The 'leader' I know of isn't you."
Rumor has it.
The leader had died in the hill incident, and there were also rumors that he hadn't died. Regardless of which information was true, Fluder didn't care.
What really attracted him!
During the hill incident, the leader seemed to have used the power of 7th-tier magic, which was beyond the level of magic he currently knew.
"This is a meaningless topic."
Tang Zheng did not deny it and made a hoarse voice transformed by magic props.
"It's a stupid question."
Fluder was silent for a moment, then continued, "Then tell me your purpose, leader."
The person in front of me!
He could easily deceive four warriors with keen perception and his two magic-chanting disciples, and even appeared out of thin air in the carriage without him noticing.
Such means.
It is really meaningless to worry about whether the other party is the leader of [Zhilanong]!
This is an extremely dangerous person.
He is also a magic chanter whose level is no less than his!
Fluder's wrinkles were as deep as ravines, radiating from the corners of his eyes to his temples. Although his expression was calm, there was a deep sense of vigilance in his eyes.
"For now, we can judge that the other party has no hostility."
"Given the current state of the empire, it is not advisable to make enemies with such a powerful magic caster who can evade detection and is adept at hiding."
"But, if..."
Hidden under the sleeve, a magic ring on the finger was triggered.
Wow——!
Delicate satin cuffs covered the palms, blocking out the faint magical light.
"It has been more than 200 years since the establishment of the Bahas Empire."
"And you, Mr. Fluder, have supported emperor after emperor and witnessed the rise of this nation. You are truly remarkable."
Tang Zheng exclaimed in admiration and said curiously:
"I am very interested in the magical ritual of immortality developed by Mr. Fluder. This is why I have come here so hastily."
to be honest!
Tang Zheng is skeptical about whether the "magic ritual of immortality" developed by Fluder himself can really bring true immortality.
I see!
Fluda's tense nerves relaxed as Tang Zheng's purpose became clear.
"The power of magic is full of infinite possibilities." Fluder sighed softly and said calmly:
"Let me refuse. You can't learn."
Speaking like this might offend the other party, but Fluder disdained to lie about it.
"You are not the first to want to understand this magic, and you won't be the last."
"In their later years, successive emperors of the empire sought to achieve immortality through this magical ritual."
Fluder displayed the pride of a sage, naturally raising his arm and resting it on the carriage window sill, which was covered with two layers of silk.
"Unfortunately, they can't do that."
"The prerequisite for using this magic ritual is that you must be proficient in the three magic systems of magic: magic, spirit, and faith."
“This is just the most basic condition.”
Fluder's eyes showed a look of nostalgia.
"The previous emperor of the empire was considered my disciple and a very skilled magic chanter. The current 'Imperial Ministry of Magic' was established by him."
"His Majesty the previous Emperor has spared no effort in promoting magical policies. If possible, I would like him to live forever."
"Unfortunately, the power of this ritual requires special conditions to be met, and it can only be used on oneself. Otherwise..."
Fluder finished his words with a cold laugh.
As someone who has blazed a unique trail,
Fluder was not a selfish person, nor was he someone who liked to shelve advanced magic and technology.
More than 200 years have passed.
There are so many outstanding magic casters and warriors in the empire!
If the immortality ritual could be used on these people, Fluder would have allowed these talents to achieve immortality together, so that they could study magic together.
It can also continuously increase the national strength of the empire. The accumulation of top talents for more than 200 years is enough to crush other countries!
This situation did not occur, naturally because it was impossible to do so.
The luxurious carriage fell into silence again.
Fluder was a little surprised, having thought that his blunt refusal would anger the other party.
result.
The situation was not as imagined!
"Is that so? I think I can give it a try." Tang Zheng's voice was hoarse but still steady.
"hehe."
Fluder chuckled, an old man.
There was a soft "pop" sound!
Tang Zheng didn't seem to care. He slowly raised his wrist and snapped his fingers.
——Bang!
The next moment.
The entire carriage suddenly sank, and the two soldiers driving the carriage and the four guards on the top of the carriage were almost thrown out by the sudden stop of the carriage.
Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people and they easily controlled their forward leaning bodies.
"hiss--"
The eight-legged horse was suddenly given more strength and was forcibly pulled, neighing in pain.
Click! Click!
The wheels on both sides pressed down, creating tiny cracks in the solid stone slabs on the ground.
"teacher!"
"teacher!"
"Lord Fluder!"
“……!”
The faces of the people guarding the carriage changed drastically, and they were just about to take action.
"Keep going."
The old and powerful voice came again from the carriage.
Everyone looked at each other and could only do their own job. The two elite soldiers pulling the cart pulled the reins again to make the eight-legged horse continue moving.
Inside the car.
A thick black tower shield emitting negative energy and covered with cracks stood quietly in the center of the carriage.
Sturdy wooden beams underneath.
Because of the weight of this black tower shield, cracks appeared on it!
"The Death Knight's shield?"
When Fluder saw the all-too-familiar black tower shield before him, an expression of excitement and astonishment appeared on his face.
In the Black Tower in the Imperial Magic Province.
There was a Death Knight imprisoned there, and Fluder had been experimenting on how to control the Death Knight, but so far there had been no progress.
"You should know about the Hill Incident."
"The fundamental cause of such a great disaster is the appearance of the two legendary undead creatures, the Death Knight and the Soul Devourer."
Tang Zheng's voice came from behind the black tower shield, neither hurried nor slow:
"The appearance of the Soul Devourer was an accident."
"However, the Death Knight was created. I think Lord Fluder would be very interested."
It turns out that Alliance Leader Zhilanon participated in the entire process of creating the Death Knight, so he naturally knew everything.
not to mention.
Not to mention creating a Death Knight, Tang Zheng also has the method to directly control undead beings of a higher rank than himself.
The legacy of the [Body of the Abyss] is all in his hands. Those guys are very good at studying the means of manipulating the undead.
"good."
Fluder raised his withered hand and gently stroked the black tower shield in front of him, as if he were stroking some rare treasure. He spoke excitedly:
"But let me tell you in advance, if you can't learn it, it's your problem!"
Tang Zheng smiled hoarsely and said, "Of course."
——The next period of time.
Suddenly, I felt more fulfilled and even started a daily routine of going back and forth between home and school.
Rely on the [player's] abilities.
Tang Zheng originally thought that he could easily obtain the ability of "immortality", but in the end, Fluda did come up with a very complicated ritual.
The means of magic rituals are not skills, so they cannot be quickly mastered by consuming skill points.
but.
With the passive ability of [Magic Transcendant], even the most complicated rituals would only be a bit troublesome for Tang Zheng.
Aside from the conversation with Fluder.
Every once in a while, Tang Zheng would go to the depths of the valley again to check on Juesijieming's adaptation status.
Through previous research.
Tang Zheng had long discovered that people from other worlds had a more obvious advantage than players when they were demoted.
When a player drops a level, they need to consume experience points to upgrade. The experience points required to upgrade from level 1 to level 2 and from level 2 to level 1 and then upgrade back are the same.
The natives of the other world are different.
The level they drop after death is essentially a loss of life level, which can be restored through training.
That is to say.
It is very difficult for the natives of the other world to increase their strength (level 1 → level 2), but if they drop in level, it is relatively easy to raise it back.
In the words of my previous life.
It is very difficult for athletes to break through their own level, but it is much easier to undergo rehabilitation training to their normal level after being injured.
Tang Zheng’s arrangement for the ultimate death.
It will first drop 5 levels to make room for [Cursed Knight] to improve quickly.
——The lower earth month.
December 31st.
Time has come to the end of the year, and Juesijieming's "career cleanup" stage has been completed, from the original "level 88→level 82".
Theoretically, only 5 levels need to be dropped.
However, even with the highest-tier resurrection magic, "9th Tier: True Revival," the character will still drop two levels after resurrection.
The only professions that Tang Zheng could guarantee to be washed away by the ultimate death were [Bandit], [Assassin], and [Executioner].
As for which one, and how many levels did they drop?
Tang Zheng couldn't be sure.
The capital of the Silian Theocracy.
In the deep underground palace.
tread!
tread!
Juesijieming was wearing black short boots and stepping on the smooth stone slabs, playing with a brand new nine-ring toy in his hand.
In the empty palace-style corridor, the sound of footsteps could be heard from time to time.
"You're finally back."
A sound like a sigh of relief came from the front of the passage.
"oh."
Juesijieming raised his head and saw the genius captain in front of the passage. He nodded casually in response, then lowered his head again and continued to play with the nine-ring chain in his hand.
Ding ding dang dang~
The sound of metal rings colliding with each other continued.
Captain Shenren felt a little helpless when he saw this scene. Juesijieming had disappeared for half a month.
If it weren't for him covering for him, Juesijieming's disappearance would have been discovered by those chief priests long ago.
This is also the reason why Tang Zheng asked Juesi Jueming to return to the Church.
One is that I was away for too long.
Secondly, as the year draws to a close, the chief priests of the Church will inevitably have contact with the gods.
kindness?
Captain Shenren narrowed his dark red pupils. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he faintly felt that Juesijieming's aura was a little weak.
He knew that Juesijiemu's disappearance was related to that mysterious and terrifying man.
Juesijieming was disassembling the Nine Rings with great interest, but when he passed by Captain Shenren, he stopped.
“Ah~”
Juesijieming reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden gift box. He tossed it to Captain Shenren and said, "I almost forgot."
Bang!
Gift?
Captain Shenren caught it with one hand and looked at Juesijieming in confusion and surprise. He had known the other party for such a long time, but this was the first time he received a gift from him.
"He gave it to you."
Juesi Jueming continued walking forward without looking back, speaking lazily and waving his hands:
"Also, let me tell you, Happy New Year. Haha, what a strange etiquette blessing."
Captain Shenren stared blankly at the gift box in his hand, showing a rare look of bewilderment: "That man..."
