Arcane Journey

"What else do you have to say, Your Excellency Seth?" Seeing the other party's thoughts falling into a long silence, Brian reminded him appropriately.

At this moment, the relationship between the two can be regarded as really torn apart. The other party dared to murder him secretly. If it wasn't for his strong strength and a certain amount of luck, the Sarukh Lich would have killed him long ago. die.

As the price for framing himself, Brian would not hesitate to destroy the body of the witch, under the stop of Seth's mind, and let her soul return to the phylactery, which is one of the prices he paid.

From the other party's angry expression, it can be seen that destroying the body of this witch must have cost him a heavy price.

Even so, Brian still felt uncomfortable.

As for how to retaliate against the other party next, it depends on how the ancient evil god will explain it.

"This is the end of the matter, and I have nothing to say." The old voice of Seth's clone resounded in Brian's mind through the holy emblem.

As if to win the other party's sympathy, the words were extraordinarily bleak.

What else can He say, the plan that he has planned for thousands of years has failed, the failure is complete, and there is even no room for recovery.

For a moment, Seth was almost disheartened, and wanted to live in seclusion in the spire of the witch, and never ask about world affairs.

But when he thought of the evil god Seth of the Mulhorand pantheon who had never given up the idea of ​​killing himself and devouring his divine power from the beginning to the end, an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart unconsciously.

He is not reconciled, and must not lie flat because of this. Even if he wants to live in seclusion and avoid the world, I am afraid that the evil god Seth will not let him go.

One day, the other party will find his hiding place.

He couldn't possibly hide for a lifetime.

Therefore, he still has to find a way to restore his divine power, which has become his obsession and the meaning of his existence so far, how could he just give up casually. .

Although the plan failed, at least he has devoured part of the divine power of the snake god Marshak, and added a voter. As long as the stupid servant killed by Brian is resurrected from the phylactery and regains his strength, he Then you can continue to plan the next plan to restore strength.

However, the premise of all this is to stabilize this mortal mage first, and if possible, even win him over to help him deal with the Mulhorand god system, which is also a good choice.

It's just... What makes Seth hesitate is what kind of benefits he should throw out to attract his attention again, which makes him a little difficult.

"Since there is nothing to say..." Brian naturally didn't know that Seth secretly began to pay attention to himself at this moment. He looked at the holy emblem in his hand and felt that the other party's silence was like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. , so he said with a slightly cold expression:

"Then do you think I should immediately destroy this holy emblem, which is of no use to me at all?"

Although the attributes added by this holy emblem are quite good, after going through this series of events, he realized that this thing is a hot potato, as long as the holy emblem is in his hands, he will be subject to it all the time. Seth's monitoring, it's better to destroy it directly to save trouble.

Of course, he did this for another purpose, which was to see if this holy emblem was important to Seth.

After all, not only was he able to hide his mind and divine power here, he even added a new elector to himself through the holy emblem.

Does that mean that the undigested divine power that Seth took from the snake god Marshak in the snake city is also hidden in it.

If that's the case, he might be able to use him as a bargaining chip to threaten Seth.

"you dare!"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, Seth looked startled, with uncontrollable anger in his mind, and was finally suppressed by him forcibly, and said in a meaningful and slow voice with an old voice:

"No matter how embarrassed I am now, no one dares to deny the fact that I am the other side of the Creation Snake. In the Chaos War in the Dawn Era, I led the ancient gods to repel the Rage Gods and wiped out all the remaining Rage Gods. They are all sealed in the world of Abel, and you are just a humble mortal, and you dare to threaten a true god, have you thought about the consequences inside?"

Now he has no power to resist Brian's threat. If this holy emblem is directly destroyed by him, then the divine power he took from Marshak, the god of poisonous snakes, cannot be brought back to Chuertan The Wuzhu minaret on the peninsula may even allow Marshak to absorb it again.

Not to mention the busy work, it is possible for Marshak to track down his hiding place with the remaining divine power, and provoke an enemy for himself for no reason.

Originally, the threat of the evil god Seth was enough to cause him a headache, so he naturally didn't want Marshak to miss him.

But the current He can't stop Brian's actions at all. He can only pull up a big banner to try to scare him, and then let him negotiate with himself calmly.

Naturally, Brian didn't know what he said casually, and he directly hit the vital point of Seth's avatar as if hitting a snake seven inches. Seeing the other party's angry look, he said disdainfully:

"True God? You should stop putting gold on your face, and say something useful, otherwise I will really ruin it."

As he said that, he prepared to inject arcane energy into the pilgrimage emblem with bluff.

In fact, during the battle against the Sarukh Lich, when he asked the golden dragon Paralandax to wake up Seth's mind, which was deliberately sleeping, he had a general understanding of this holy emblem and had a deep understanding of it. He clearly understood that with his current strength, it was simply impossible to completely destroy this holy emblem cast by divine power.

Unless he brought it back, and then brainstormed, it might be possible for priests of other good camps to use the power of their own gods to damage it.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to waste a lot of time doing these irreparable things that completely offended the evil god Seth.

It was simply thankless.

Although the other party wanted to kill him for a while, he avoided them all. In this case, when he killed the Sarukh Lich, his anger had almost dissipated.

And during the short exchange, after he calmed down, he naturally wanted to try his best to maximize the benefits he might get from Seth.

After all, Seth was right about one thing.

He is indeed the snake of the universe known as the "serpent of creation" representing the evil side. From the creation of the world of Toril by the "God of God" Io until now, most of the things that happened are clear to the chest.

Since the opportunity was already in front of him, how could he let go of this opportunity to make good use of it. For example, if possible, the evil god Seth might still know the whereabouts of the seven artifacts of the Mechanical Empire Imasca.

Feeling the arcane energy injected into the Holy Emblem, although Seth was not afraid, and could even confidently say that he would not be able to harm himself with these small tricks, he did not dare to take the risk. The other party is in a hurry, no matter what price they pay, they must destroy it, I am afraid that there will be no chance of regretting it.

After pondering for a moment, he immediately understood what Brian's intention was.

As He expected, mortals are just mortals after all, especially those spellcasters who like to call themselves noble. In the face of anything related to their interests, they will act self-righteously and rationally. Favorable choice.

Obviously, Brian didn't really intend to destroy the holy emblem, but wanted to test how much he could pay in exchange.

After figuring it out, Seth, who had lived for countless years, immediately suppressed his inner anger, and calmly and rationally thought of a way to deal with it.

"Ugh……"

He pretended to sigh deeply, as if the next words could wipe out the vicissitudes of history and the desolation of the world, and said:

"That's right, as your Excellency said, the current me is indeed not a true god, but just an incarnation with no memory of a true god, so I tried my best to restore my lost divine power, and this This holy emblem stores the divine power that I took from Marshak, the god of poisonous snakes. I haven't spared time to let it fuse with me. If you destroy this holy emblem, then the divine power in the holy emblem will be destroyed. Because of this, I lost it and returned to Marshak, and at that time, the god of poisonous snakes will search for the location of the witch's spire according to my breath in the divine power."

"So, the importance of this holy emblem is self-evident to me." He then added, "As long as you don't destroy it, you can raise any conditions."

Is it soft?
Is this going to soften up?
Hearing Seth's sincere words that could not find any loopholes, Brian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He didn't expect that his plan to destroy the holy emblem actually hit Seth's vitals by mistake, but he didn't expect that the other party just spat some trash talk in a symbolic manner, and immediately stood at attention and waited for him Go punch him.

This really doesn't look like an ancient god at all.

After all, this is an ancient evil god, representing the evil side of the snake of the universe.

It was a bit overwhelming for him to give in to himself so easily, and he instinctively thought that this guy was secretly brewing some conspiracy.

Seeming to see through Brian's mind, Seth's thoughts said again:
"Your Excellency, don't misunderstand me. I swear in the name of the snake of the universe. What I just said is true. I have no intention of murdering you. After all, the plan I have been brewing for thousands of years has completely failed, and I can see it." , some things cannot be forced, so for me now, the only thing I can do is to continue to live in seclusion in the Wuzhu Spire, secretly accumulate strength, and silently wait for the opportunity to come."

Hearing that the other party dared to swear in the name of the Snake of the Universe, Brian was really moved. He had already begun to believe that the other party might have really given in, and wanted to imitate Gou Jian, the king of Yue.

Of course, even so, he still kept a few more thoughts in mind, after all, he remembered deeply that the other party's previous conspiracy almost killed him.

Even talking about breaking the sky can't change his nature as an evil god. When dealing with these gods, one must be extremely careful.

If you are not careful, you may be sold and still count the money for the other party.

If it wasn't for Brian's knowledge that the opponent's power hidden in the holy emblem would not be able to threaten him at all, and that other Sarukh liches in the ancient city of Olem might have noticed his existence, he would rather pay a certain price , to destroy the holy emblem, and never cooperate with the other party.

Sensing Brian's emotional expression, Seth also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, as he expected, the other party didn't intend to destroy the holy emblem at all, but used it to threaten himself in order to extract more benefits.

It is precisely because He grasped Brian's purpose that he dared to speak out his weaknesses without any scruples in order to gain his trust, and he even did not hesitate to swear in the name of the snake of the universe.

Of course, what he said was the truth, so naturally he would not worry about the backlash of the oath.

After all, at this moment, he has lost all his cards, and he can't make any waves. No matter whether he tells the truth or lies, it will arouse the suspicion of the other party. It's better to be honest with each other, so as to observe Brian His reaction and speculate on his ultimate purpose, and then prescribe the right medicine.

"Don't forget, I'm the owner of the spire." Seth took this opportunity to throw his bait again, "You must have seen the treasure house of the spire..."

"You don't have to mention the treasure house anymore." Brian said calmly, "I've been there before, so I know what's going on inside. As an avatar, you don't have as much control over the spire as you imagined. large, and the treasure trove lies beyond your control."

"Indeed." Seth was secretly surprised that Brian was able to maintain such a calm attitude, and added, "But the location of the treasure house is in the Spire of the Witchfly, which cannot escape, as long as I recover The divine power, there will always be a day when you get the authority to control the treasure house, won't you?"

"Then let's talk about it the day you get the treasure house authority." Brian shook his head unmoved, "Don't use this method of drawing big pies in front of me, I'm afraid in this world , Few people know better than me how to draw big cakes."

"So you often draw big cakes for people?" Seth asked curiously, obviously guessing what the so-called 'painting big cakes' meant.

"No!" Brian denied, "It's because people often draw big cakes for me, which makes my ears callous."

"Then what exactly do you want?" Seth stopped discussing this issue too much, and said straightforwardly, "What exactly do you want so that you can continue to cooperate with me."

"It's very simple. I need to know the whereabouts of the Imaska ​​Seven Artifacts." Brian thought about it inwardly before revealing his ultimate goal.
