Chapter 865 Reason

"'Horcrux'? Similar to a lich's 'soul box'?"

Dean looked at the slightly mottled oil painting and asked subconsciously.

He felt a peculiar difference in the oil painting, which was somewhat similar to the rumored 'soul box', but Dean had never seen a lich in the true sense.

So, not so sure.

In fact, although Godez has the records and legends of the Lich, just like the giant dragon, the Lich has already disappeared into history.

And some rumored undead creatures similar to liches are just stronger undead creatures.

Zombies, possibly skeletons.

Or simply it is the product of wizards' failed and successful experiments.

And Dean doesn't know if there are liches in other planes in the astral world.

After all, among the many astral planes, he has only been to Rirolle.

"It's similar, but different. At least I can be sure that I'm not an undead creature. Undead creatures can't reproduce, and they are all maintained by soul fire, and I don't need it!"

Gray smiled lightly, his sky blue eyes were shining with charming eyes, definitely not the chilling, cold fire of the soul.

"A similar place?"

Dean pondered the question.

"As long as this painting is destroyed, I will die! On the contrary, as long as this painting is not destroyed, no matter what, I am immortal-whether it is cutting by a sharp blade, burning by fire, or frost by ice, The crushing of 'Yuan' is useless! My only weakness is this painting! And this is my sincerity to you... Similarly, I don't mind if you try it yourself!"

Gray said so.

"is that so?"

Dean took a deep breath and asked back.

Although Dean had such a guess before the question, he was still surprised when the other party explained.

The ability of the other party is really very strange.

strange arrived,

Even Dean was amazed.

However, there should also be limitations.

Otherwise, the other party would not come to him for so-called cooperation.

Looking at the mottled surface of the oil painting, Dean thought silently.

As for the other party cheating again?

Naturally, Dean would not completely trust the other party. At least due vigilance is a must.

"This painting represents your life, but judging from it now, your 'life' is not very good!"

Dean pointed to the mottled surface of the painting.

"That's right, it made me an 'undead body'. But it couldn't withstand the invasion of the years, although I tried my best to avoid this becoming my weakness when I made this painting—just, some Things always go beyond what people expect, and I'm no exception!"

Gray nodded. There was a look of sadness on his face.

Obviously, there are some stories in it.

However, Dean is not interested in such stories.

He is more concerned with the present.

"You want me to help you restore this painting? I'm sorry, although I can paint, I don't think my painting can help you achieve the result you want at all!"

Dean said so.

The other party had made it clear from the very beginning that they wanted to seek cooperation with him.

So naturally, there must be something in him that is valued by the other party.

Maybe it's the fearlessness of those under the crown, or maybe it's strength, but Dean instinctively feels that there should be something else that makes the other party take such a risk.

after all. The actions of the other party at this moment are completely pushing themselves to the opposite side of those under the crown.

And, just because of a stranger who met once!

No sane person would do that.

Unless there is a compelling reason.

Dean wanted to know why.

Compared with the 'sincerity' shown by the other party, Dean is more willing to find,

"It's not to restore the painting, but to find the tools to restore the painting!"

Gray said, and then, there was obvious hesitation on Gray's face, obviously he was thinking about whether to say something.

But Dean didn't urge him, he just picked up the teacup and waited quietly for the other party's answer.

The other party wanted something from him.

The initiative is in his hands. Dean is naturally not in a hurry.

After a while, Gray looked at Dean.

"This is one of my biggest secrets, and I hope Lord Zelgon will keep it a secret—whether you agree or not!"

Gray said solemnly.

"We can sign a contract!"

Dean answered.

"No, no, there is no need to sign a contract. You only need to agree verbally, Your Excellency Zelgon!"

Gray waved his hand.

"Just verbal? No need to sign a contract?"

Dean looked at each other in surprise.

"A verbal agreement that seems useless is far stronger than an indestructible contract—I hope that our future cooperation will be sincere and not a so-called contractual cooperation... This really makes it difficult for us to achieve what we should Level, it is very likely that this mission will fail! And for me... if I fail, I will die!"

Gray said with a wry smile.

And Dean looked at the other party's wry smile, noncommittal.

Dean didn't quite believe the other party's words at the moment!

Compared to. What the other party said before, this time, there are fundamental loopholes.

oral agreement?

Sign a contract?

As long as you're not an idiot, you know which to choose.

As for playing the due level and combat power?

Under the constraints of the contract, Dean believes that he can exert his due level and combat power. After all, the power of the contract is mandatory.

It didn't work for Dean though.

Or...the other party knows this?

Such thoughts rose from the bottom of Dean's heart, and then Dean looked at the other party.

However, there was nothing abnormal in the other party's expression.

Or is there any restriction that prevents the other party from signing the contract?

Dean wondered.

And when this guess appeared, Dean became more certain in his heart.

The other party should have certain restrictions on the contract!

However, Dean did not say so.

He just shrugged and said, "I'm willing to keep it a secret for you!"

"I trust your words!"

As Gray said, he was about to tell his secret——

"Your Excellency Zelgang, have you seen the remains of 'God'?"

However, before speaking, Gray asked a rhetorical question.

"The remains of the 'God'? Have you ever seen the remains of the real 'God'?"

Dean froze for a moment, and glanced at Gray, who nodded.

And that surprised Dean again.

Because, the so-called 'God' remains. Most of them are cemeteries after the fall of 'God'.

'God' itself is already the pinnacle of existence.

Compared with the legendary creatures, they are even rarer and rarer.

And the creatures that can fight with the'God' are naturally the same, not only have strong strength. Also has great wisdom.

Therefore, the fall of a 'god' means that most of the opponent's wealth, including believers, will be received by the victor—in fact, the battle of gods recorded in several biographies that Dean has read. It is for believers.

And the existence of believers itself creates the 'power of faith'.

Dean didn't realize the magic of the 'power of faith'.

But will not deny it.

The person in the prison of the dragon can be exchanged at such a high price, which is enough to prove the value of the 'power of faith'.

And because of this, 'God' is also extremely difficult to kill.

Because, they can use the 'power of faith' to heal themselves.

In other words, unless you die on the spot, the 'god' should be immortal.

Fight to the death, all are accepted.

Just hurt. You can use the 'power of faith' to heal your wounds.

Under such a premise, the existence of relics such as "God" is almost impossible.

But it is not absolute!

Dean looked at Gray, and a daze appeared in his eyes.

By this time, Dean finally understood why Gray came to him alone.

Dean can be sure that if such news is known by several subordinates of the other party, then that Quentin Crown Prince will also know about it.

After all, the value brought by this news is definitely a great reward.

The opponent's subordinates. An irresistible reward.

As one of the other party's secrets, the other party obviously didn't want to do this.

Therefore, the other party needs to find some people who are not afraid of those majesties, or who are not so fearful.

And the newly joined Tianshang and Mordis are excellent candidates.

certainly. And... him!

That's why the other party paid so-called 'attention' and appeared in front of him so appropriately.

"I discovered this ruin by accident! I couldn't believe it when I found it, but as I explored and harvested step by step, I realized that I had found the greatest treasure in my life——I The immortal body, the technology of the puppet, and even the knowledge that isolates the people from investigating, all come from there!"

Gray began to tell.

"I spent nearly two decades there, but I was still on the periphery and couldn't get into the core at all-at that time, I was just a guy who had just stepped into the gold level, and I didn't have enough patience! So, I left , roaming around the astral world and various planes, thinking that even if I don’t rely on them, I can achieve what I want, but the fact proves that this is just my naivete!”

"So, I am going to go back there! However, I suddenly found that even if I want to go back there, it has become very difficult-under the watchful eyes of me, it is impossible to leave at will! Any change in me , will let me step into the land of eternal doom! Therefore, I can only wait anxiously!"

"Your Excellency Zelgon, do you understand this kind of suffering? My heart feels like being bitten by insects every moment--that ruin will only appear at a certain time every ten years, and every time it appears The time for me is only less than ten days! Under such restrictions, my waiting has become even longer, until... this war!"

Speaking of this, Gray's breathing became short of breath.

"This war coincides with the time when the relics appeared, and it will not attract the attention of others—but I know that I still need a helper, and you, Your Excellency Zergang, have appeared!"

"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Dean sighed.

At this time, Dean finally understood why the other party was willing to take such a big risk and stand on the opposite side of those under the crown.
