Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1197 Chartered Research Beyond Belief
If you want to be resurrected, you must first buy the [Holy Deed of Resurrection], of course you can also buy it later, but the price is higher if you buy it later, even if you buy it first, the price is not affordable for ordinary people.

At least, Xia Duo has never heard of anyone who can buy [Sacrifice of Resurrection] with only gold coins, because resurrection requires a lot of divine grace from the death priest.

Without great benefits, who would sacrifice themselves to benefit others?
There is no such thing as "be willing to do good and help others" in the teachings of the Lord of Death!
But what if a new resurrection technique appeared?

Judging from the fact that Theremin can also experiment alone, it seems that this is pure arcane magic, and does not require the participation of holy power.

This made Xia Duo think of the resurrection spell used by the [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] Resurrection Division, but the power of the gods in the projection plane is not obvious, so mages can resurrect as they want.

But on the main plane, one has to consider the reactions of the Lord of Death and the Priest of Death.

Not to mention the conflict of teachings and ideas, it would be very difficult to deal with the robbing of a single business. Xia Duo didn't believe that Cliff Arcanist hadn't considered these things, but he made such a choice.

Why?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but ask, regardless of Cliff's explanation, "Your Excellency Cliff, wouldn't research on the resurrection of the dead violate the realm of the Lord of Death?"

Seeing that his narration was interrupted, Cliff frowned subconsciously, but because it was Xia Duo, he endured it again. He was silent for a while, and then replied:
"Yes, but I have a reason to do so!"

"Why? If this offends the Lord of Death, what are the consequences?"

Saying that, Xia Duo pointed to himself again, "For example—me?"

He must ask this question clearly, not to mention that he himself has the idea of ​​​​researching the resurrection technique. Right now, what kind of death authority does Cliff want him to find? Isn't this inappropriate for the Lord of Death?
Between Cliff and God of Death, Xia Duo is undoubtedly more afraid of God of Death. If you don't ask this question clearly, even if you agree to Cliff now due to the situation, he will find an opportunity not to implement it.

It's not a self-intentional expedient measure, but naturally you can do whatever you want!
To this, Cliff's answer was——

"There are many reasons for doing this. For you, Lord Xiaduo, are you not interested in the resurrection of the dead at all? As for the consequences, I can tell you with certainty that there will be no consequences! At least for you, That's right!"

for me?After thinking for a while, Xia Duo had some vague guesses in his mind, so he asked tentatively, "Is it related to your identity?"

"you can say it this way."

Cliff glanced at Xia Duo quite unexpectedly, and continued to explain: "The Lord of Death doesn't care about mortals' resistance or research on death, because this in itself enriches the connotation of death and strengthens the divine power of the Lord of Death. So far, no Nether mage has been punished by God because of the life extension spell.

"The resurrection of the dead can barely be regarded as a mortal's resistance to death, but the priests of the gods are no longer within the scope of mortals."

"Then you—"

"The rumors are true. My lord has a good relationship with the lord of death. Because of my lord's existence, I was saved from being punished by the lord of death, but this also consumed my full 20 years of divine grace. However, all of this is worth it!"

At the end, Cliff's face was inexplicably covered with a look called "enlightenment".

Hearing Cliff's explanation, Xia Duo couldn't help being moved. Cliff knew that he was the priest of the Lord of Radiance, but he still insisted on spying on the authority of death. In a sense, this was considered a betrayal.

What else can go beyond belief, beyond the general code of conduct?
Xia Duo felt that perhaps some human instincts, such as love, hate, and fear, were sublimated to the extreme, which made Cliff, an extremely godlike existence, unable to truly "extraordinary".

However, this instead made Xia Duo develop a good impression of Cliff. Compared with the gods who don't eat the fireworks of the world, mortals make him feel more cordial.

Thinking about it this way, in the mouths of Theremin and his son, Cliff, who abides by etiquette, order, and rigid dogma, seems to become cute.

At least, in this meeting, he didn't feel how rigid and dogmatic the other party was. Instead, he was very accommodating and patiently explained to him.

Although this may be due to the need to use him, being able to adapt to changing circumstances can also explain certain problems in itself.

Of course, the fact that Cliff attaches so much importance to the resurrection of the dead and insists on it makes Xia Duo feel a little pressure. This means that even if the "crimson hero" in the prophecy is not him, Cliff is likely to force him to go to that " Dream Ruins".

From this point of view, Cliff is not so cute again!

"Your Excellency Cliff, please continue—"

"I have been studying the resurrection of the dead for a long time, and I have also observed the resurrection ceremony of the death priest many times, but my research is always a little bit away from the real resurrection. The resurrected person can only live for a short time."

Having said that, Cliff's expression twisted for the first time, and he sighed deeply, as if lamenting the difficulty of resurrection.

After sighing, I continued to explain: "As a last resort, I can only continue to consume the grace to predict where the key to resurrection is, so there is the prophecy just now.

"Since then, I have been searching for information related to the 'Crimson Hero' and 'Dream Ruins'. I have already found the Dream Ruins, but the 'Crimson Hero' has never been found. Until today, Stern contacted me. "

After hearing all the ins and outs of the prophecy, the doubts in Xia Duo's heart were relieved a lot. There is no doubt that Cliff was able to have a relationship with the brave because of "Big Xia", and his most iconic robe is crimson.

But this is still a bit far-fetched, and there are still many doubts in his heart, especially when he heard Cliff mention that the "Dream Ruins" had been found, he immediately questioned:
"Since the Dream Ruins have been found, why didn't your lord Cliff go in and look for them yourself? With your strength, if you can't even find them, then even if the so-called 'Crimson Hero' goes in, how can you find them? "

Regarding Xia Duo's doubts, Cliff just shook his head, his eyes darkened: "I have been to the Ruins of Dreams, but I have not found any clues. In fact, if you know the real situation of Ruins of Dreams, you will not It is so simple to think that as long as the Grand Arcanist passes by, he will definitely be able to succeed."

"What's the situation in the dream ruins?" Xia Duo asked quickly.

Speaking of which, he was also really curious about the so-called "dream ruins". Could it be that the "power of death" exists in the underworld?
But if it's your turn to go to the underworld to look for it, what else are you looking for? Just ask the cause of death directly!
