Chapter 428: The Submissive True God
“What else do you have to say, Mr. Seth?” Seeing that the other party’s thoughts fell into a long silence, Brian reminded him appropriately.
At this moment, the relationship between the two people was really broken. The other party dared to secretly plot to kill him. If it weren’t for his strong physical strength and a certain amount of luck, he would have done this long ago. Killed by Saluk Lich.
As the price for framing himself, Brian did not hesitate to destroy the body of the witch and let her soul return to the phylactery, despite the blockage of Seth's thoughts. This was one of the prices he paid. one.
It can be seen from the angry look on the other side 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 this ancient evil god explains it.
"The matter has come to this, and I have nothing to say." The old voice of Seth's clone sounded in Brian's mind through the Holy Emblem.
As if to gain sympathy from the other party, his words seemed particularly desolate.
What else could he say? The plan he had planned for thousands of years had failed, completely, and there was no room for recovery.
For a moment, Seth was almost disheartened and wanted to live in seclusion in the witch spire and never care about the world.
But when I thought that the evil god Set of the Mulhorand pantheon had never given up the idea of killing himself and then devouring his divine power, an uncontrollable anger emerged in my heart unconsciously.
He is unwilling to do so and must not lie down because of this. Even if he wants to live in seclusion and never leave the world, I am afraid that the evil god Seth will not let him go.
One day, the other party will definitely find his hiding place.
He cannot hide for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he still had to find a way to restore his divine power. This had become his obsession and the meaning of his existence to this day. How could he give up so casually? .
Although the plan failed, at least he has swallowed part of the divine power of the serpent god Marshak, and added a chosen one. He only needs to wait for the stupid servant killed by Brian to resurrect from the phylactery. , and restore strength, He 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 draw him over to help you deal with the Mulhorand divine system, which is also a good choice.
It’s just that... what makes Seth hesitate is what kind of benefits he should offer to attract his attention again, which makes him a little difficult.
"Since I have nothing to say..." Of course Brian didn't know that Seth was secretly starting to pay attention to himself at this moment. He looked at the Holy Emblem in his hand and felt that the other person's silence was like a head. He was not afraid of the dead pigs boiling water, so he said with a slightly cold expression:
"Then do you think I should immediately destroy this Holy Emblem that is of no use to me at all?"
Although the added attributes of this Holy Emblem are quite good, after this After a series of events, he realized that this thing was a hot potato. As long as the Holy Emblem was in his hands, he would be monitored by Seth at all times. It would be better to destroy it directly to save trouble.
Of course, he also had another purpose in doing this, which was to see whether this Holy Emblem was important to Seth.
After all, not only was He able to hide his thoughts and divine power here, he even added a new elect to himself through the Holy Emblem.
Does that mean that the undigested divine power that Seth took from the snake god Masak in the snake city is also hidden in it.
If that's the case, he might be able to use it as a bargaining chip to threaten Seth.
“You dare!”
Seeing that the other party did not look like he was joking, Seth looked shocked, with uncontrollable anger in his thoughts, and was finally suppressed by him. Go back and say in a slow and meaningful 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 snake of creation. The Chaos War of the Dawn Era , it was I who led the ancient gods to repel the wild gods, and sealed all the remaining wild gods in the world of Abel, and you, just a humble mortal, dared to threaten a true god, can you think clearly about it? "The consequences?"
Now he has no power to resist Brian's threat. If this holy emblem is directly destroyed by him, then he will seize it from the snake god Marshak this time. Without the divine power, it would be impossible to bring back the Wuji Spire in the Chultan Peninsula, and it might even be possible for Marshak to absorb it again.
Not to mention that all the work was in vain, and there was a possibility that Marshak could use his remaining divine power to track him down to where he was hiding, thus provoking an enemy for himself for no reason.
Having the threat of the evil god Set was enough to give him a headache. Naturally, he didn’t want Marshak to worry about him anymore.
But now He can't stop any of Brian's actions at all. He can only pull out a big flag, try to scare him, and then let him negotiate with him calmly.
Of course Brian didn't know what he was thinking, and it hit Seth's clone's vitals like a snake. Seeing the other person's angry look, he said disdainfully:
< br>"True God? Stop patting yourself on the back and say something useful, otherwise I will really ruin it."
With that said, he brazenly prepared to inject arcane energy into the holy emblem.
In fact, during the battle with the Saluk Lich, he had this Holy Emblem when he asked the golden dragon Paralandax to prepare to awaken the mind of Seth who was deliberately sleeping. He has a general understanding and a deep understanding that with his current strength, it is simply impossible to completely destroy this holy emblem cast by divine power.
Unless he takes it back, and then brainstorms, let other good-aligned priests use the power of their own gods to destroy it.
Of course it was impossible for him to waste a lot of time doing these irreparable things that completely offended the evil god Seth.
It’s simply thankless.
Although the opponent once wanted to kill him, he avoided all attempts. In this case, when he killed the Saluk Lich, his anger was almost gone. After letting him calm down during the short exchange, he naturally tried his best to maximize the benefits he could get from Seth.
After all, one thing Seth said was right.
He is indeed the snake of the world known as the 'Serpent of Creation', which represents the evil side. From the time when 'God the God' Io created the world of Toril to the present, most of the things that have happened have been forgotten. But in the chest.
Since the opportunity has been placed in front of him, how could he let go of this opportunity to take advantage of it? For example, if possible, the evil god Seth might also know some of the seven artifacts of the Mechanical Empire Imaskar 's whereabouts.
Feeling the arcane energy injected into the Holy Emblem, although Seth was not afraid and could even confidently say that these small means alone could not harm him at all, he did not dare to take the risk. The other party is desperate. No matter what the price is, they must destroy it. I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to regret it.
He pondered for a moment, and then 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 interests, they will be self-righteous and rational in what they think is the best. Correct and the best choice for you.
Obviously, Brian did not really intend to destroy the Holy Emblem, but wanted to test how much he could pay in exchange for benefits.
After figuring it out, Seth, who had lived for countless years, immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly and rationally thought of a way to deal with it.
"Alas..."
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:
"Yes, As your Excellency said, I am indeed not a true god now, but just an incarnation of the true god's memory. That's why I have tried so hard to restore the lost power, and this holy symbol contains It stores the divine power that I took from the snake god Masak. I have not yet made time to integrate it with me. If you destroy this holy emblem, then the divine power in the holy emblem will be lost, and it will be lost again. When I return to Marshak, the snake god will search for the location of the witch spire based on the divine power that is tainted with me."
"So, the importance of this holy symbol. To me, it's self-evident." He then added, "As long as you don't destroy it, you can raise any conditions."
Succumbed?
Are you giving in now?
Hearing Seth's sincere words that found no loopholes, Brian was shocked to the spot and didn't know how to answer.
He didn’t expect that his plan to destroy the Holy Emblem would actually hit Seth’s vital point by mistake. He didn’t expect that the other party just spat out a symbolic trash talk and immediately Stand at attention and wait for yourself to hit Him.
This doesn’t look like an ancient god at all.
After all, this is an ancient evil god, representing the evil side of the World Snake.
It was really hard for him to adapt to being so easily surrendered to him, and he instinctively thought that this guy was brewing some conspiracy secretly.
Seemingly seeing through Brian's thoughts, Seth's thoughts said again:
"Don't misunderstand me, I swear on the name of the Serpent of the Universe, what I just said is true. I have absolutely no intention of murdering you. After all, the plan I have been planning for thousands of years has completely failed. I have finally put it aside. Some things cannot be forced. So now, the only thing I can do is to continue. Living in seclusion in the Wuhu Spire, secretly accumulating strength, silently waiting for the opportunity to come."
Hearing that the other party dared to swear in the name of the World Serpent, Brian was really moved and began to believe it. , the other party is very likely to have really given in, and then wants to imitate King Gou Jian of Yue and try his best to survive.
Of course, even so, he still kept a few more thoughts in mind. After all, he vividly remembered that the other party's previous conspiracy almost killed him.
Even talking about breaking the sky can't change the fact that he is an evil god. When dealing with these gods, you must be extremely careful.
If you are not careful, you may be sold and still counting the money for the other party.
If Brian hadn't known that the other party's power hidden in the Holy Emblem would not threaten him at all, and other Saluk Liches in Orem Ancient City might have noticed his existence, He would rather spend a certain price to destroy the Holy Emblem than cooperate with the other party.
Feeling Brian's expressive expression, Seth secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As he expected, the other party had no intention of destroying the Holy Emblem at all, but was just using it to threaten himself in order to extract more benefits.
It was precisely because He had grasped Brian's purpose that he dared to speak out his weaknesses without any scruples to gain his trust, even swearing in the name of the Serpent of the Universe.
Of course, what He told is the truth, so he will not worry about the backlash of his oath.
After all, now that he has lost all his cards, he can no longer make any lies. No matter he tells the truth or lies, it will arouse the other party's suspicion, so it is better to be honest with him directly. Use this to observe Brian's reaction and speculate on his ultimate goal, and then prescribe the right medicine.
“Don’t forget, I am the master of the Witch Spire.” Seth took this opportunity to throw out his bait again, “You must have seen the treasure house of the Spire...”
< br>"Don't mention anything about the treasure house anymore." Brian said calmly, "I have been there and naturally know the situation inside. As a clone, you have no idea about the control of the spire. It’s so big, and the treasure house is beyond your control.”
"Indeed." Seth was secretly surprised that Brian could maintain such a calm attitude, and then added, "But the location of the treasure house is at the Wuji Spire. It can't escape. As long as I wait for my recovery With divine power, there will always be a day when you can gain control of the treasure house, right?”
“Then let’s talk about it when I and you gain access to the treasure house.” Brian shook his head unmoved. , "Don't use this method of painting a pie in front of me. I'm afraid there are few people in this world who know the method of painting a pie better than me."
"So you often give people "Drawing a pie?" Seth asked curiously, apparently having figured out what the so-called "drawing a pie" meant.
“No!” Brian denied, “People often paint cakes for me, and my ears get calloused.”
“Then what do you want?” Seth stopped discussing this issue too much and said straight to the point, "What do you want in order to continue to cooperate with me."
"It's very simple. I need to know the whereabouts of the seven artifacts of Imasca." Brian thought about it secretly in his heart before revealing his final purpose.
