Chapter 695 Pandora’s Box


As a relatively mild holy light spell that shares water magic with water spells, there is no additional penalty even for forbidden spells.

On the other hand, the forbidden spell Xu Lai learned was far less powerful than the lightning storm Tahan learned.

The biggest limitation of Holy Persuasion is that it can only be used once a month, and because there is no water magic, it requires 1,000 mana points to be used once.

1000 mana points is an extremely high price, and ordinary physics professionals simply cannot afford it.

Even Xu Lai, with the super talisman in the glove compartment, has only 860 mana points.

This is after visiting many buildings, including the Alliance of Angels and the God of War Statue, with 26 points of all attributes superimposed.

In other words, even if Xu Lai carries an all-powerful talisman with him, it is not enough. He must add a talisman specially designed to increase mana.

Of course, if he only needs temporary release, he can also find some magic wells, magic creeks, magic whirlpools and other buildings to visit.

These buildings can double their own magic power and are not restricted by the upper limit, which is equivalent to giving a temporary magic power quota.

However, these do not have the insurance of carrying a magic talisman with you, and it is impossible to wait for the time to use it before searching for the magic well everywhere.

But if he was equipped with a magic talisman, Xu Lai would definitely take one from the glove compartment.

His glove compartment is now equipped with four fixed pieces of equipment: Holy Bottle of Vitality, Dragon Icon, Card Medical Gem, and Super Amulet.

The only remaining position is to choose between the Fire Spirit Ball, the Hand of Destiny, and the Shackles of War.

When using Doomsday, equip the Fire Spirit Ball, usually carry the Hand of Destiny, and when in special need, equip the Shackles of War.

Any one of these pieces of equipment is much more useful than a magic amulet.

Unfortunately, the spells carved on the top of the pyramid are random and unknown.

Otherwise Xu Lai might not learn earth or fire magic, but instead learn water magic.

Without the water magic bonus, although the basic power of the forbidden spell is exaggerated, it is incomparable to the forbidden spell with the ultimate water magic bonus.

Even if no other special effects are needed, as long as the power is increased by 75%, it is almost equivalent to doubling the power of the forbidden spell.

However, Xu Lai didn’t quite understand the effect of this divine persuasion.

He could understand the part about the undead.

As dead creatures anyway, even divine persuasion cannot revive them.

The power of the Holy Light and their origins restrain each other, killing them directly and causing them to self-destruct, causing greater damage to other undead around them.

This is also a great killer weapon if used properly when fighting against the undead.

In the latter part, Xu Lai didn't quite understand the persuasion of other enemies. It seemed to be a spell that could force the other party to become a member of his side, and it was not a mental spell.

In addition, the persuasive effect of this spell is permanent for ordinary-level creatures, while it is temporary for elite-level creatures.

Ordinary creatures generally refer to recruiting units, and non-professionals are farmers, businessmen, scholars and the like.

The elites are professionals, people like captains who have certain abilities or status.

Needless to say, nobles, heroes and the like, spells are completely ineffective against them, which means they cannot control the leadership.

There is a sacred transformation here, which is what Xu Lai least understands. The key is that this transformation seems to be permanent.

If it weren't for this spell, which could only be used once a month, and Xu Lai only had puppet creatures like Jin Ren in front of him for the time being, he might have planned to try it now.

While Xu Lai was sketching out the spells and studying them, Roland had already taken the knights who had rested for a while and had dinner and rejoined the battle.

Before Xu Lai could figure out the spell, a large group of them were teleported outside the pyramid.

The pyramid in front of me has no defenders anymore, and the Sphinx has turned into dust.

But the most precious thing in the pyramid has been taken away by Xu Lai.

The forbidden spell stopped glowing the moment Xu Lai recorded it in the spell book.

If Xu Lai touches this pyramid again, it will be displayed as visited and he will be asked if he wants to visit again.

For things like the Cemetery of the Undead, if you visit it for the first time, it will be fine. If you can’t find anything on the second visit, your morale will be greatly reduced.

This is true for warrior tombs, shipwrecks and the like. Xu Lai has already been fooled once.

As a place for the dead, the pyramid naturally has the same effect.

Moreover, for a building of the level of the pyramid, if you visit it once, the morale damage will be extremely high. Xu Lai will naturally not bother with this.

Besides, the hidden treasure of the pyramid, the forbidden curse, has been obtained by Xu Lai.

In addition, after defeating the Pharaoh and the Diamond Man, Xu Lai also obtained the treasure given by the pyramid, a colorful magical box.

[Pandora's Box]: An artifact, after opening it, you will randomly gain or lose experience, gold coins, magic, creatures, attributes, levels, etc.

According to legend, this thing contains greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy, pain, etc., all the most evil things in the world.

But at the same time, Pandora's box also contains the world's most precious hope.

Therefore, no one knows what is inside Pandora's box before opening it.

Xu Lai may obtain a bunch of artifacts, or he may be directly deprived of all levels.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Lai still didn't know whether to open the box or not.

As a human being, Xu Lai was full of curiosity about this thing, but as the leader of a force.

Reason told him that he should not be the one to open this thing.

Of course, it cannot be handed over to outsiders casually, because no one knows what is inside, what if it is thousands of top-level troops.

The person who opens this thing must be someone who Xu Lai trusts enough and who also trusts Xu Lai enough.

Xu Lai glanced at Roland, and after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

In case of deprivation of abilities or the like, although it will have a certain impact on the Knights of the Guards, Xu Lai can still accept it.

But if life and health were deprived of such things, Xu Lai would feel uneasy.

‘Let’s collect it for now. In the current situation, there seems to be no need to use this thing. ’

With Pandora’s Box and the Forbidden Spell, Xu Lai’s return this time has only improved one level, but the harvest is not small.

A gate of time and space, Xu Lai returned to Gray Castle again.

But this time, Xu Lai's earth magic has been upgraded to a high level, which at least saved him the next part of his physical strength and prevented him from making a fool of himself.

But when Xu Lai returned to Gray Castle, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere here seemed to be particularly solemn.

"Your Majesty the King!"

Seeing Xu Lai, the officer guarding the city gate immediately fell to one knee on the ground.

Xu Lai raised his hand to signal others to get up, and immediately asked:

"What happened to Graycastle recently?"

The officer guarding the gate immediately reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have just received a signal of attack and request for help from Little Gray Castle.

The Legion Commander and His Excellency Tahan are discussing the rescue of Little Gray Castle."

Xu Lai was stunned, glanced behind him and said: "Is it the little Gray Castle behind us?"

The officer nodded quickly and said: "Yes, it is the little Gray Castle. , I don’t know the specific situation very clearly.” Xu Lai frowned, Gray Castle was not attacked yet, but the small Gray Castle behind was attacked first.

If the alarm had not been raised by mistake, the only ones who could attack Little Gray Castle would be the demonic forces.

It may be that the previous cleaning was not clean and some demon den was missed.

It is also possible that the demons climbed over from the valley, or flew directly from the sky.

Gray Castle is not far from Little Gray Castle, and Xu Lai’s cavalry rides back and forth quickly, which only takes an hour or two at most.

This is because the roads in the Ashen Valley are narrow and cannot increase speed.

If the road was flat and paved with stone bricks, the round trip would probably not take more than 20 minutes.

At the moment, Xu Lai didn't care about entering the city. He left the archangel behind and rushed to Little Gray Castle with Roland and the others.

But even though Xu Lai and the others were flying fast, they were not as fast as others.

When they reached the halfway point, Elvi had already received the hundred archangels left by Xu Lai, and followed them with the angel army.

After meeting Elvi, Xu Lai had a better idea of ​​what happened.

Little Gray Castle was indeed attacked, and as Xu Lai guessed, it was attacked by demons falling from the sky.

But not many demons came, only about 3,500 people.

In Little Gray Castle, Xu Lai did not leave any specific arrangements, leaving all the arrangements to Reina.

But thinking about it, no matter how much Reina ignored it and left three to five thousand people, she wouldn't be defeated by three to five hundred demons in a short time.

Xu Lai’s guess was not wrong, the demon failed to occupy Little Gray Castle.

But he didn't catch up, because when they arrived, all the enemies just flew away.

Obviously, they have someone keeping an eye on them and they will retreat once they realize that rescue is coming.

Xu Lai, who was already low on physical strength, gritted his teeth and rushed to Little Gray Castle, but he only saw a group of figures flying away in the distance.

Because the distance was too far, I couldn’t see clearly. I could only vaguely see that they were a group of dark demons with huge wings.

"Xu Lai, I'll chase them!"

Elvi rushed over, naturally unwilling to let these demons go.

And with Xu Lai's talent, Elvi is confident that she can intercept these demons before leaving Xu Lai's heroic realm.

“Forget it, if you are ambushed, you will lose more than you gain.”

Xu Lai knows Elvie’s temper. Now he is seriously lacking in physical strength. Even if he is riding on a war horse, he can’t support it. It won't be long.

As long as Elvie chases him, if he happens to be on the edge of his heroic ability, she will definitely rush over without hesitation.

Although Xu Lai only had time to see the back, the speed of the demons left a deep impression on him.

In his impression, he could not remember any kind of demon that could possess such exaggerated speed.

Among the demons, Hellboy and the Great Demons are the fastest, but their method of movement is usually teleportation.

The wings on the back are only used to maintain balance when the teleportation is cooling.

Simply using the pair of bat wings, the speed is faster than the abyss lords, but not as fast as the Winged Demon.

Although the level of the Winged Demon is not high, it can't stand up to someone with a small body, big wings, and no equipment.

If it is a higher-level Wing Demon King, led by a hero who is good at Wing Demons, and carries more acceleration treasures, it is possible to have such a moving speed.

But it would be wrong to say that the other party is a Winged Demon.

The biggest difference between the demons Xu Lai saw and the winged demons was that the wings of all demons were bat wings.

What Xu Lai saw were huge wings in the shape of birds.

"Let's go into the fort first and see what's going on."

Although Elvi is very bellicose, she always listens to Xu Lai's words.

Only this time, Elvi shook her head and said: "Xu Lai, let me catch up and have a look, I promise not to mess around.

If you are worried, I will take the angel The legion is staying here, I will never fight with them."

Xu Lai frowned and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Elvi's abnormality naturally attracted Xu Lai's attention.

Elwee shook her head and said: "I don't know. When I look at the back, I always feel a familiar feeling."

"Is it possible that it is the demon you have fought against before?" Xu Lai smiled.

As long as Little Gray Castle is still in your hands, escaping hundreds of demons is no big deal.

But Elvie couldn’t laugh, she frowned and said:

"Forget it. Judging from their speed, I should have to chase them for a long time. Let's talk about it next time."

Elwee's ambiguous look left Xu Lai confused.

But who is Elvie? She is the only woman in the entire Eagle Kingdom who can pin Xu Lai down on the bed and beat her.

She said forget it, so Xu Lai had no choice but to "forget it".

The incoming enemies withdrew, and the people in Little Gray Castle naturally ran out of the bunker.

Seeing Xu Lai standing outside the city, he quickly opened the city gate.

The king personally came to help, and the remaining people in Little Gray Castle were moved. But as soon as they saw the scene outside Little Gray Castle, tears would fall unconsciously.

The scene that greeted Xu Lai was extremely uncomfortable.

Blood was scattered everywhere, all over the walls, and all over the floor were either blood or minced meat.

At a glance, one can hardly see a complete body.

Even if some large pieces of flesh can be found, there is no way to piece them together, let alone cast a spell to revive them.

“Damn it, these demons are not here to seize the city, but to kill people.” Elvi hit the wall with her palm and said angrily.

The fact that Xu Lai owns the Angel Legion is not a secret. More and more people know about it.

It wouldn’t be strange at all for Kerrigan to know, it would be strange if he didn’t know.

Now that we know that Xu Lai has an angel, if he wants to kill someone, the first thing to do is to destroy the body.

Although this scene was extremely cruel, if it were Xu Lai, he would also find a way to destroy the body.

At most, he didn't use the sword to cut it so bloody, but burned it cleanly with fire.

In the past, Xu Lai was the victor and gained the right to clean the battlefield. The angels could resurrect anyone they wanted.

It cannot be said that he failed this time, but he was indeed powerless.

Not only the angel's resurrection, but also the life magic recorded in Xu Lai's magic book is also of no use in the face of this situation.

"What's going on? What kind of demon attacked you?"

Xu Lai saw Wang Chao coming in a hurry and asked him hurriedly. (End of this chapter)
