Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1253 Divine Grace Substitutes Increased Orders
"I might not be able to answer this question before I bought the Holy Deed of Resurrection, but now, I can tell you clearly that the answer is actually very simple——"

Having said that, Cliff paused on purpose, which really made Xia Duo feel a little nervous, but fortunately, Cliff didn't make any routines such as "I'll tell you when I come back from the ruins of dreams".

After realizing that Xia Duo was quite concerned about this issue, he immediately told the truth:

"If the death priest is unwilling to pay the grace, then the buyer can provide the grace he has!"

That's it?

Xia Duo did not expect such a result, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible. Resurrection needs to consume divine grace, so who is not consumed?

However, compared to the priests who follow and serve the Lord of Death all their lives, how much divine grace can buyers with their own careers get?

Just like Xia Duo, the way he can obtain the Lord of Death's grace is mainly to formulate laws related to burials, improve the order of death, or attack illegal (not approved by the Lord of Death) undead creatures everywhere, clear negative energy, etc. .

But if you want to accumulate the divine grace needed for the [Holy Deed of Resurrection] through this method, then you really don't know how long it will take!

The most important thing is that there is no quantitative standard for how much grace you can get by doing these things, and it is all up to the Lord of Death to decide.

It may be enough to kill an undead creature casually, or to eliminate an undead crisis; it may be enough to kill all the undead creatures on the main plane, and there is not enough resurrection grace.

This is what discourages people the most. Unlike magic, it is what it should be, and there will always be a clear realization process.

Cliff can save enough resurrection grace, but at the same time he is the priest of the Lord of Radiance, which is almost equivalent to eating inside and outside. Combined with what Cliff mentioned before, his research on the resurrection of the dead is a privilege of the (Lord of Radiance) divine grace.

Xia Duo speculates that perhaps Cliff's resurrection (Lord of Death) grace is simply a deal between gods and gods, and it is completely pre-determined!
"Could it be that Cliff is the son of the Lord of Radiance?"

Xia Duo immediately thought of the case of the resurrection of the son of Yahweh on earth, and then looked at Cliff's resurrection three days after his death, which really had a hint of imperial order in it.

"Can't think, can't think!"

Xia Duo resolutely gave up this too dangerous idea, and he originally wanted to ask Cliff about the death and resurrection process, but he couldn't say it in the end.

"I understand, thank you Lord Cliff for your guidance."

Afterwards, Xia Duo changed the subject and said, "About the exploration of the Dream Ruins, when are you going to set off again?"

"There are still some trivial matters to be dealt with in Sevington and the territory, but we will definitely leave this month!" Cliff gave an approximate time and said at the same time:

"I think the last time we encountered indigenous hunters in the star world, it is very likely that the time of departure was wrong. The prophecy mentioned that we can only obtain the power of death in the 'prosperous and blooming season'. We went early."

In Netheril, if the "prosperity and blooming season" refers to a specific month, it generally refers to June, but if it does not refer to a specific month, it undoubtedly refers to the time when spring and summer flowers bloom the most.

The latter is usually closely related to the climate and does not have a fixed time point or period. It may be earlier than June, may be in June, or may be later than June.

The last time Xiaduo and Cliff went to the astral world was in the last few days of May. At that time, the temperature had just warmed up. There might be early flowers that had bloomed, but they definitely could not be called "blooming flowers".

It failed that time. If we insist on using prophecy to explain it, maybe it was really early. It was neither June nor "prosperous and blooming".

Xia Duo thought about it, and felt that Cliff's speculation might be somewhat reasonable, but the point was that he couldn't convince Cliff not to believe in that prophecy.

So I could only follow the other party's words and said: "In this case, I will wait for your news in the southern border, and hope that this time I can successfully reach the Ruins of Dreams!"

"Arrival is definitely possible!" Cliff's eyes were full of confidence, not only because of his own prophecy, but also because——

"Your Excellency Thorne, the Eternal Holy Spirit, is recovering on the main plane. He has promised me that he will still take us to the Ruins of Dreams this time.

"But when we get to the Dream Ruins, everything will be up to Lord Xiaduo!"

"Your Excellency Cliff, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to find the prophesied 'authority of death'!"

If it is confirmed that there are residues of [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] in the ruins of the dream, then Xia Duo will be very confident in finding the content related to the resurrection spell.

After all, when he entered this time, he was just an ordinary high-level mage different from the last time. When a senior arcanist enters it, as long as he shows enough ability and merit, it is not difficult to come into contact with the resurrection spell.

The specific situation will not be known until he enters the projection plane, but Xia Duo already has some ideas about his plans after entering.

……

While talking, Xia Duo's luxurious lunch had been delivered to him, and Cliff stopped talking at the right time. The two finished their lunch quietly, and then left separately.

Back at the Arcane Union, Xia Duo met Derrick who was going to report to his temporary residence at the door of the library. Besides Derrick, he was also the Lord of Harlan whom he had just contacted.

However, the Lord Harlan at this moment is not the desperate and tragic gambler that Xia Duo had seen before, but the corners of his mouth are turned up, his eyebrows are raised, as if he picked up a hundred demon-slaying arrows by the side of the road.

Xia Duo didn't intend to inquire about it at first, but Lord Haran himself took the initiative to mention it—"Lord Xia Duo, do you know? The Great Arcanist Cliff is not dead, he has the Holy Deed of Resurrection, and he has returned from resurrection!"

"Oh? Really?" Xia Duo was thoughtful.

He and Cliff went to the Star Realm together, and then Cliff had an accident, which is not a good thing, and it stands to reason that Lord Harlan would not take the initiative to mention it in front of him.

But now that the other party suddenly mentioned this matter, it was hard for Xia Duo not to associate him with Cliff.

Such a connection really makes sense. Before Lord Harlan thought that his big backer, Cliff, was dead, and some support might be gone, so he desperately wanted to gamble, or he was rejected by the already negotiated order. I got stuck and had to blog.

But now that Cliff is alive, there's no need to put all his eggs in one basket.

Xia Duo thought to himself, does the other party still want to cancel the contract of manufacturing the demon-slaying amulet that has already been signed?Or is there another variable in the deal of the Demon Slaying Arrow for Harlanside Manor?

But the fact is——

"I have an old relationship with one of Mr. Cliff's students, and I got some orders from him. I would like to ask if the Tower of Time can accept more OEM orders."
