after reyan blurted it out, the new players might still be a little confused.

But the priests Blanche, Matthew, and the others, as well as the two sixth-circle magicians who had followed behind to kill the succubus, were all staring at the ” legendary staff of death ” in Zhao Xu’s hand.

Then his gaze fell back on Zhao Xu as if he was trying to figure out something.

the shape of the staff itself was in the style of the necromancer school. it was pieced together by finger bones one after another, and it would be creepy to see it in the middle of the night.

Zhao Xu didn’t usually put it next to his pillow when he didn’t have to, and he wouldn’t sleep with it either. He would usually just put it in his backpack and only wear it around his waist when he was on an adventure.

If it did not have any magic power, the priests of the goddess would think that it was an evil magic weapon and destroy it after coming into contact with it. Most of the priests of the goddess would not carry such an evil-looking staff.

But now, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable looking at this staff, they were also secretly shocked by its price and the losses it had incurred.

All of a sudden, many people started to speculate about Zhao Xu’s identity. Even if he was the descendant of a Big Shot in the wizard Association, it would still be too extravagant for him to give them such resources.

According to a secret Adventurer’s Guide record, according to the accounts of several adventurers in the past thousands of years and the statistics of written files, on average, one encounter with a level 20 challenge level monster would give about 80000 gold coins in wealth.

Other than gaining fame, how many pit fiends must he kill in order to earn enough money to buy this staff?

“That’s not right. We players have never seen the world, but why do these high-level priests and mages look so surprised? Could it be that a million gold coins is the ceiling for magical equipment in this world?”

” it’s hard to say. i’ve never heard of a piece of equipment that can cost more than a million gold coins. 200000 gold coins is already an exaggeration. ”

After listening to the analysis of several players with good observation skills, a player who was sitting in the middle and changed from a Paladin to a priest, wearing the initial blue linen shirt, sighed, ” ” a million gold coins for a lifetime isn’t that expensive. many magical equipment are passed down like family heirlooms. ”

to arthur, a full-body armor worth thousands of gold coins was equivalent to a house on earth, and a greatsword worth 50 to hundreds of gold coins and a refined greatsword were equivalent to a car on earth. with a full set, even an ordinary civilian could fight with a professional fighter.

above that, there were ” magical items ” that had a sharp increase in both durability and power. they were also very precious ” family heirlooms ” in arthur. most families could only pass on weapons and armors.

therefore, after everyone had transmigrated, giving a piece of magical equipment, even if it was a few thousand gold coins, would be an extremely valuable gift.

if I had this staff, how cool would I be? a succubus that’s close to the legendary level. I can chase her away as I please, and kill her if she doesn’t leave. a cleric apprentice player saw the magic staff in zhao xu’s hand. even though it looked a little strange, his heart still wavered.

if they were to sell this equipment to the rich players, they would be able to exchange it for millions of dollars.

“no, you can’t bear to use it.” the first priest in linen clothes retorted, ” if it was only a million gold coins, those priests would be amazed, but they wouldn’t be so fixated on it for so long. They’re still capable of this.”

Upon hearing this, several cleric apprentices around them immediately turned their eyes to this player. Even Zheng xinyun, who didn’t care much about gossip, couldn’t help but listen.

“that’s because there are only 50 shots of the staff. Apart from a few magic staves, most of the magic staves are no different from a fire Stick when they use up all their energy.”

” even if the minimum cost of this staff is 1000000 gold coins, 50 shots of energy would be 20000 gold coins on average. if it’s the kind that consumes two shots of energy at a time, then the cost of casting a spell would double by 40000 gold coins. You’re willing to burn one magic equipment at a time?”

when the priest in linen clothes finished speaking, all the players around them had already gone completely silent. they didn’t even dare to look at the staff in zhao xu’s hand.

If the cost was not recovered every time such a thing was used, it would be an extremely extravagant squandering.

reyan had also noticed the players ‘intermittent uproar and silence, but he did not pay much attention to it.

at this moment, he looked at the remaining few people and said in a low voice, ” “if the church can’t find the succubus within an hour, they’ll beg for a miracle.”

Reyan himself was from the mage Association, so he did not feel too deeply about this. On the other hand, the few priests standing opposite him blushed when they heard this, and they looked ashamed.

obviously, they had been toyed with by a succubus with a divine weapon and abyssal divine power to this extent, and they were all gritting their teeth to take revenge.

but zhao xu knew that this was actually excusable.

in fact, if he had not gone to look for peter’s traces today and obtained information about the succubus, he would not have been able to escape.

then today, the headquarters of the church of the goddess would be like many incidents in history. something or someone would be lost, and then an investigation would be conducted but the investigation would end up with nothing. even the loophole could be used repeatedly.

It wasn’t until many years later, when the initial events of that year were swept up in the aftermath, that the first event could possibly be known.

at the very least, they had managed to block the succubus’s initial goal today. even the way she exploited the loophole would be fixed and blocked. thus, the other major churches and organizations would be able to catch up after receiving the information.

This was actually equivalent to the abyssal forces sacrificing a ” loophole ” indicator in their hands, although the other party would definitely not have only one ” loophole “.

let’s see if the succubus can make use of today’s ” loophole ” to exchange for something of value.

when zhao xu and the others were talking to the elderly priest, zhao xu could basically tell that the succubus was actually pretending to be a cleric apprentice no matter how long they stayed.

that was why the succubus priest had immediately revealed herself and attacked zhao xu.

it was also under the circumstances that it couldn’t achieve its original goal, so it had taken a step back and decided to kill zhao xu. it had wasted this loophole in exchange for the final benefit.

if grazite was satisfied and the lord of the abyss was happy, the succubus might be able to get even more benefits.

As for blasphemy’s attack on the other cleric apprentices, that was just an extra part of what happened after he killed Zhao Xu.

Reyan looked at Zhao Xu intently. It was obvious that he understood the logic behind the entire process.

Now that the entire Sacred Heart Cathedral was on high alert, there weren’t many options for that succubus to recoup her losses. After all, the only people that grazite, the Lord of the Deep, hated and were weak enough for the succubus to kill were Zhao Xu and a few others.

That was why Reyan had been chatting away with Zhao Xu ever since he arrived and didn’t try to track down the enemy.

Because his mission had already changed to “protecting.”

After confirming with the church, his top priority was to take Zhao Xu, this time bomb, and leave.

“branch, matthew, you two stay here. as for zhongxia, you can come with me.” Reyan said as he waved at the two people behind him, signaling them to follow.

seeing that reyan was about to leave, the old priest in charge of teaching and guiding him quickly said, ” Wizard Reyan, don’t we need to arrange for these trainee priests to go to a safe place? ”

reyan simply waved his hand. ” if the succubus could replace us with incarnations without limit, we would have asked for divine power to descend a long time ago. it won’t attack you again, or rather, you’ll be truly safe once we leave. branch and matthew will stay behind to protect you.”

At this moment, Zhao Xu also quickly followed Reyan.

The succubus didn’t try to hide in any other way, but attacked him brazenly, which meant that she had made her decision.

by this point, zhao xu was no longer the person who was fishing, but the fish who had been fished up instead. he naturally had to follow reyan closely.

However, when he left, he still turned back to look at the group of trainee priests.

They didn’t know that he had to come back to teach in the next few days, but it would be a little awkward then.

because of the church’s defense, once they were far away, the mental link could easily be cut off.

So when Reyan came back this time, he re-established a ” mind link ” that allowed Zhao Xu to communicate with his heart.

“What’s your next plan?” Zhao Xu asked Reyan as he led him around the building as if he had no destination in mind.

what else can we do? Shen power is so overbearing. If we can’t provoke it, we can hide. Reyan also felt a little helpless.

“Or are you wondering why I took you away, or why I didn’t bring you back to the base camp?”

zhao xu gently smoothed out the marks on his black robe and said, ” if it’s going to attack me, it’ll definitely come back. if that’s the case, then why would i stay there and get other people involved? ”

” as for not returning to a safe place, is it because you want the succubus to continue targeting me? ” Zhao Xu analyzed.

“That’s right. Although it sounds a little cruel, it’s indeed the situation. For this, the church will compensate you later.” Reyan said, ” this compensation will give you an extra life. It’s just a small price.

when zhao xu heard this, he didn’t have much of an opinion. in reality, if he didn’t have this important status, he would probably have been fooled from the start to the end of this whole incident.

In fact, if ordinary people did not know the truth, they would not have to be afraid.

his rights and responsibilities corresponded to each other, and zhao xu had received a lot of resources and support from the very beginning.

and now, the church wanted him to step out to lure the other priests and stall for time so that the succubus wouldn’t choose to attack the other apprentices. this was his responsibility to maintain.

“It’s just that I’m a little curious.” Zhao Xu took the opportunity to ask his own question.

“what’s wrong?”

“I can understand why you didn’t pray for the goddess’s miracles at the beginning. After all, it’s not the Lord of the Abyss who personally came, but just a legendary succubus. However, at this point, the church still insists on not begging for miracles. Is there a deeper reason?”

after zhao xu came out, he could already hear the commotion around him. it wasn’t a small commotion at all.

Reyan made sure that the ” mind link ” only existed between him and Zhao Xu.

After he confirmed that it was Zhao Xu himself, he said, ” from now on, you have to keep this a secret.
