Chapter 235: "Martial Immortal Body" and "Martial Immortal Formation"
Chapter 235
"Hmm... the energy level is not low."
Hercules looked down, his tone calm, yet it contained an unquestionable majesty.
"Being subjected to this level of tracking magic by a formal god... I am actually quite interested in the relationship between the Spirit Eye Wizard and this matter."
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He already knew that the Spirit Eye Wizard possessed the "remains of a formal god".
Now they have sent a third-level wizard like Lin En to visit with treasures. It is obvious that they are cautious and dare not show up easily. They are afraid that Hercules will kill people and steal the treasures.
This is reasonable and normal.
But because of this, Hercules saw more from Lin En at this moment.
This mark not only proves that the Spirit Eye Wizard and Lin En had direct contact with the god, but also... the energy level is so high that it is definitely not a trophy "obtained by chance".
That was not about picking up a divine body, but about confronting a living god head-on.
He didn't know what happened in between, but the result was certain.
That god has fallen.
The tracking magic he cast before his death was cleverly transferred to Lin En.
This detail gradually outlines the truth of the whole matter.
The Spirit Eye Wizard not only faced the living god in person, but also ultimately won the game.
However, the final blow of the god's dying counterattack was cleverly passed on to Lin En, the "stand-in", by the Spirit Eye Wizard.
In this way, the whole game becomes clear.
Hercules narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had already made up his mind: Lin En was just a chess piece.
The mission of his trip was most likely just to deliver messages, deliver items, and test on behalf of the Spirit Eye Wizard.
What's more, when his hand touched Lin En's shoulder, he had already realized the other person's age, which was close to five hundred years old.
At such a young age, he is only at the early stage of the third-level great wizard, which is enough to show that Lin En's qualifications are not high.
If it weren't for the spiritual eye wizard behind the scenes fanning the flames, it would be difficult to even reach the current level.
Everything is closely linked and supports each other, making Hercules more and more interested in the Spirit Eye Wizard himself, while his attention to Lin En suddenly dropped to the lowest level.
Swoosh! As Hercules retracted his hand, the divine mark that emerged seemed to be attracted and slowly sank into Lin En's body and disappeared.
As if noticing the shock and uneasiness that flashed across Lin En's eyes, Hercules shook his head slightly and said calmly: "The mark on your body has an extremely high energy level. Even if I want to break it by force, it will cost a lot."
He paused, and said in a calm tone as if he was advising an elder next door: "Obviously, you can't afford the 'price' of asking me to take action."
After the words fell, Lynn's heartbeat inexplicably stopped.
But Hercules did not continue to put pressure on him. Instead, he quickly retracted his gaze and spoke in a casual but dignified tone:
"Okay, take out what the Spirit Eye Wizard gave you."
At this moment, he did not have the arrogance of a high-level wizard, nor the indifference of a dark wizard.
On the contrary, his whole body was as gentle as a spring breeze, and his attitude was so gentle that he almost looked like an elder.
But this does not mean true kindness, but rather a sense of self-confidence and control of a strong person.
With his identity and status, he no longer needs to rely on oppression to achieve his goals.
What he really cared about was the transaction itself and the secrets behind the Spirit Eye Wizard.
To him, Lin En was just the "messenger" of this game, and it was not worth it for him to disrupt the balance and do something as brutal as searching his soul.
On the other hand, Lin En also noticed the change in Hercules' attitude.
The other party's undisguised indifference and insight did not make him feel humiliated, but instead made him secretly relieved.
Because this was exactly part of his plan.
Lynn deliberately showed his "chess piece" side to focus Hercules' attention on the "Spirit Eye Wizard".
The low-key and passive attitude he created just matched the other party's judgment.
Hearing that Hercules wanted to personally check out the strand of black hair, Lin En did not hesitate and directly took out the long, shiny black hair from the space ring.
The hair was still as fresh as new, with a cool glow flickering between the strands, and even a faint fragrance, as if it contained the lingering aura of some god's divinity.
Hercules just made a slight move, and the long hair flew up uncontrollably and fell into his palm.
He lowered his head and gazed, his fingertips slowly brushing through his hair, his expression calm yet focused, as if he was sensing the divine fluctuations contained therein.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his eyes showing a little more understanding: "This should be... the aura of the authority of the Demonic Network."
"It seems that the owner of this long hair is the incarnation of the Demon Net Goddess."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something, or as if he was piecing together the information in his hands.
"Not long ago, the Nightmare Rift Valley did plan an operation against the Goddess of the Magic Web... Now it seems that the Spirit Eye Wizard was also involved."
"As a result, the body of the Lord God's clone ended up in his hands, and he even used it to make a deal with me... Haha."
He smiled softly in his heart, and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"Tsk tsk, Nightmare Rift spent so much effort planning an operation, but in the end the Spirit Eye Wizard reaped the benefits quietly... Interesting."
After all, Hercules is extraordinary, with extraordinary strength and respected status.
As one of the top executives of Furnace Stone, he has a clear understanding of the structure and power of the wizarding world in the South.
Therefore, based on that piece of black hair alone, he was able to guess the origin of the divine body and the game behind the transaction with astonishing accuracy.
Although, if the news that the Spirit Eye Wizard had mastered the body of the Demon Net Goddess spread, the Nightmare Rift Valley would be furious and might even issue a hunting order for him, but what does all this have to do with his Hercules? This body is indeed useful to him, and that is the only thing he cares about.
And once it is confirmed that this is an incarnation of a main god, then its value... will naturally be raised to another level.
His expression froze, and his tone became concise and powerful: "I want this divine body."
"You can tell the Spirit Eye Wizard that I accept this deal."
As soon as the words fell, Lin En's heart was suddenly shocked, and a trace of joy that was difficult to conceal appeared in his eyes.
His biggest goal in coming to Furnace Stone this time was to use the power of a high-level wizard to stabilize the situation and avoid the crisis of Aquila.
Originally, he just wanted to use the name of Ophiuchus to get an identity, but by chance, he bumped into the Hercules, who was at a higher level! And now, not only was the transaction successful, but he even successfully "attached" to the reputation of Hercules, which was far higher than the expected "using tiger skin"! However, just when Lin En was secretly happy and thought that the transaction was successfully concluded, the next sentence of Hercules made him look stagnant and slightly stunned.
The powerful man looked at him with a smile, his tone was relaxed but contained some deep meaning:
"Next, I would like to make a deal with you. What do you think?"
Lynn's mind trembled slightly.
He didn't expect that after deliberately suppressing his presence and disguising himself as a pawn of the Spirit Eye Wizard, he would actually be singled out for attention by Hercules.
Could it be that... he saw through something? Lin En spoke subconsciously, his voice respectful and restrained: "Me? Master Hercules, I am just a third-level wizard..."
But Hercules just shook his head slightly, looked at him with a smile, and said slowly: "Your strength is indeed not important."
"What's really important is the mark of the gods that just appeared on your body."
When he said this, his tone paused, his gaze still lingering on Lin En, with a bit of insight in his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Perhaps you still don't quite understand what the mark means. I can explain it to you briefly."
"In the world of endless planes, although our wizard civilization and the gods' civilization are mortal enemies, it is not always the case that we will engage in war when we meet."
"But you are different."
"Because you bear a mark planted by a Lord God himself."
"This means that as soon as you leave the wizard world, the Lord God will be able to sense you and may even attack you."
Hercules spoke calmly, without exaggerating or deliberately threatening. Instead, he stated the facts in a plain tone, as if he were an elder reminding a younger generation.
"Even if you don't leave the wizard world... the power of the Lord God is far from being as limited as you think. If he really wants to do something to you, it is not impossible."
Lynn was silent.
He knew that Hercules was right, maybe even worse than he said.
If he was really a mediocre wizard destined to stop at level three, then this mark might just be a threat that was "destined not to be triggered."
But, he is more than that.
He wants to break through the Morning Star Wizard.
And once you reach that level, traveling through endless planes and exploring the world's oceans will become the norm.
By then, this divine mark will become a seed of curse that can explode at any time.
Even if you don't die, you will attract unpredictable pursuit and disaster.
Lin En's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly weighed the issues in his mind.
Since this divine mark must be resolved sooner or later, it would be better to first listen to what this Hercules wants to do.
He bowed slightly and asked respectfully:
"Lord Hercules, I wonder what I need to do to resolve this divine mark?"
Hercules was not surprised by this. He just smiled, nodded, waved his hand casually and said:
"Now is not the time."
"As for the divine mark on your body, I have to wait until the Spirit Eye Wizard sends the divine body over so that I can study it before making a decision."
He smiled softly, with a hint of disapproval in his tone.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. - Green."
Wizard Green, who had been watching quietly on the side, nodded immediately after hearing this and responded, "Teacher."
Hercules looked at him and directly ordered:
"Take this great wizard Lin En back with you to finalize the details of the deal with the wizard with spiritual eyes, and then bring back the divine body."
"Yes, teacher!"
Green obeyed the order respectfully.
Hercules nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, and then said no more.
His figure trembled slightly, and the whole person soared into the sky like a stream of light in the flow of light and shadow. In an instant, he flew towards the star mark that tore through the sky in the sky, and his figure quickly disappeared.
On the platform at the top of the wizard tower, the wizards who were originally watching nervously were also very observant. They immediately returned to their positions and continued to devote themselves to the affairs of the Star Gate.
Lynn and Green stood side by side, silently watching the figure of Hercules disappear like a shooting star.
"Okay, the teacher is very busy. He is very proud of this transaction for taking the time to talk to us. Let's go."
Green waved his hand and turned away.
Lin En originally thought that this trip to Furnace Stone had been successfully completed and that he only needed to return. Unexpectedly, Green led him all the way to the first floor of the library of the Hercules Wizard Tower.
Seeing the numerous bookshelves and classic books all around him, he couldn't help but look puzzled.
Green noticed his expression and explained calmly, "Didn't you reach a deal with the teacher regarding the divine mark? He asked me to give you some information in advance so that you can study it first, so as to avoid being held back when you really need to take action in the future."
Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
By disguising himself as low-key, he was able to evade the eyes of the two Morning Star Wizards, Hercules and Green.
But the price is... now I am regarded as a burden who "needs extra lessons".
Lynn complained in his heart, but nodded calmly and watched Green walk into the library.
Not long after, Green came back with two heavy books and handed them to Lynn.
Lin En looked down and saw two eye-catching titles written on the cover:
"The Body of the Martial Immortal" and "The Martial Immortal's Formation".
Both books are named "Hercules", obviously they are written by Hercules, and their value and level are naturally self-evident.
When Green handed the book over, he explained with a hint of emotion in his tone: "'Martial Immortal Body' is a body-refining witchcraft created by the teacher himself. As the name suggests, it is specially created to temper the body of a wizard."
"And this book, 'Martial Immortal Formation', is a formation book compiled by the teacher. The content is extremely detailed and profound, covering the analysis and construction methods of the teacher's witchcraft formation diagram."
"These two books are closely related to the divine mark on you. I hope you can study them seriously and understand and master them as soon as possible."
Having said this, Green paused for a moment, his eyes fell on Lin En, and he specifically reminded her: "You are also a body-refining wizard. You may not realize the true value of the "Martial Immortal Body" yet, but I can tell you very clearly that its level is far higher than all the body-refining techniques you have practiced in the past."
"You are lucky. You came at the right time. The teacher has just finished perfecting this book "Martial Immortal Body"."
When Lin En heard this, he paused for a moment and couldn't help but have a thought: It's just finished? Could it be... I'm a test subject?
He subconsciously raised his eyes to glance at Green, only to find that the latter seemed to have anticipated his thoughts. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the teacher has just finished this book "Martial Immortal Body", it is the result of his extreme thinking on body refining witchcraft for countless years."
"Unless you can surpass your teacher's level one day, this technique will only be of infinite benefit to you."
"After all, you're not even a Morning Star Wizard yet, right?"
"In the entire Furnace Stone, there are countless wizards who want to learn my magic..."
The implication is that you are being used as a test subject, and you are not worthy...
Lin En was once again humiliated in a "convenient and thorny" way, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt a little emotional.
It is worthy of being the Hercules constellation.
Even before the formal contract was signed between him and me, he had already been so generous as to directly give me this advanced secret technique for me to study.
Of course, Lin En also understood that a being like Hercules would not worry about regretting it at all.
If he really broke the agreement, the other party could easily come to him with just a flick of the finger.
But no matter what, giving gifts directly makes people feel generous.
Afterwards, accompanied by Green, Lin En solemnly signed a heritage contract, which contained mostly routine clauses, such as not disclosing the information without authorization and not leaking core secrets.
The moment the contract rune took effect, the two books truly belonged to Lin En's hands.
