Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 127 Ulterior motives
……

"Dark Demon God?"

Upon hearing the latest news brought by Han Ji, Zhu Meng and his group had different expressions.

They are all super-class wizards, so naturally they have access to some information about dark forbidden techniques.

The dark plane is far more dangerous than those emperors hiding deep in the demon restricted area!

"Dark forbidden technique, aren't you worried that we will dig our own graves?" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of existence the dark demon god was that needed the call of a million people in this city to descend. If the other party had evil intentions...

"But we are already on the edge of the grave now." Han Ji said.

"And this tomb is moving towards us, intending to devour us all."

"Then, what about the plan to enter the Shayuan?" Du Xiao asked.

"Carry out at the same time." Han Ji said in a deep voice.

"If Fang Gu and his team's plan to enter the Sha Yuan fails, then we'll make this last bet!"

The life and death of millions of people, if there were more choices, he would never dare to pin it on just a few people.

“But if it’s the so-called Dark Demon…” Zhu Meng was still a little worried.

"We have no other choice now." Han Ji said.

"If the plan fails, we will all die. If we survive, I will personally report this matter to the Supreme Magic Association. I, Han Ji, will bear any consequences!"

"But the premise is that we have to survive!"

……

With Han Ji's confirmation, the plan to rush towards Shayuan will continue as usual, and the preparatory ceremony for Daolong to summon the Dark Demon will also be carried out at the same time.

If Fang Gu and the other people in the dangerous village failed to stop Sha Yuan from getting closer, they would die anyway, so they might as well take this last gamble.

Just as Daolong said, even if the summoned dark demon is evil, at least it is their own death that they decided.

If you were swallowed by the evil abyss and turned into a new undead, that would be really frustrating!

On the bell tower, only Lu Cheng and Dao Long were left.

The previous royal guards had all been dispatched, either to maintain law and order in the city to prevent the Black Church from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, or to follow Han Ji to escort Fang Gu and his group.

"Could they really succeed?" Daolong was a little worried.

If these people in the so-called dangerous village really stopped Sha Yuan, their plan would come to nothing.

"It won't work." Lu Cheng rested his chin on his hand and looked at the bottomless abyss outside the city.

He doesn't have any bloodline from the Weiju Village. Even though the Evil Abyss is so dangerous, he won't jump in on a whim. Anyway, later on, the space turbulence will actively throw external life forms into the Evil Abyss. At that time, it will be much easier for him to jump in through the space turbulence.

Moreover, even if he wanted to dance along now, it was impossible.

Xizhe stared at his.

As long as he showed the inclination to risk his life, Xizhe would take him down in seconds.

……

After a long wait, Han Ji and others, who had successfully sent Mo Fan and his group into the Shayuan, returned to the bell tower.

Different from the original, the only people escorting Sha Yuan's team were Han Ji and Lu Huan who was rescued by Lu Cheng before. In order to make these people trust him more, Daolong directly put a short undead buff on them.

Even the monarch undead cannot sense their presence.

With the existence of this magical buff, there will naturally be no situation like in the original book where large numbers of mages rush out to be cannon fodder.

After all, the soul and spirit of a mage are much stronger than those of an ordinary person. The power of faith that a devout mage believer can bring is greater than that of hundreds of ordinary people's devout believers.

It can't be wasted.

These people are far more useful alive than dead.

"Mr. Daolong, what exactly is the preparation ceremony you mentioned?" Han Ji asked.

"A summoning array." Daolong took out the array diagram he had prepared in advance.

"Next, you need to set up a large magic circle in this city according to the above distribution."

"Can you tell me the specific effect of this magic circle?" Han Ji asked.

"The first one is also the most direct one." Daolong pointed to the gradually dimming golden barrier.

"This thing of yours is about to break. My magic circle can temporarily build a new barrier to prevent the undead from getting in for a short period of time. However, this defensive effect is only temporary. I am not sure how long it can last."

"As for more information, I don't have the time to explain it to you slowly. If you are willing to do it, do it. If you are not willing, forget it. I'd better leave as soon as possible."

He has as much space-shifting magic as he wants.

Even if he wanted, he could transfer the entire city and the land together.

Although the magic in this world was terrifyingly destructive, it was far inferior to the magic he mastered in terms of practicality. The funniest thing was that the magic civilization in this world could even worship a small resurrection spell as a god.

If a person is resurrected with his soul intact and his body preserved, wouldn't it be enough to just have hands?

In the world of dark wizards, if you can't even perform the resurrection spell, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself a wizard!
……

Although many high-level officials expressed dissatisfaction under Daolong's tough attitude, Han Ji, as the person with the highest status and authority in the ancient capital, still forcibly suppressed those voices and arranged for his mages to carry out the steps according to Daolong's instructions.

"Thank you for saving me before." Lu Huan walked up to Lu Cheng and said solemnly.

"If there is anything I can be of use to you in the future, Lu Huan will never refuse."

Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a simple thing. If you really want to thank me, please help me later."

Lu Huan has a very high reputation in the ancient capital. Saving this person will make it much easier to persuade most of the magicians in the ancient capital.

"Really, is there any problem?" Lu Huan was a little worried.

He had also heard of some dark forbidden techniques, but these things were expressly prohibited by the magic associations of the five continents.

This dark demon in front of us, who needs the call of millions of people in the ancient city to come, is so dangerous...

"You have to understand one thing. What I am doing now is gambling with my life." Lu Cheng said dimly.

"The ancient capital is gone. I am associated with the dark forbidden arts. I will definitely be targeted by the Supreme Magic Association you mentioned."

"Gudu is alive. After making such a fuss, will I still have a good life in the future?"

"I have ulterior motives? Damn it, can you please have some brains?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the bell tower, and several senior executives who had been whispering just now also shut their mouths.

Indeed, what Lu Cheng is doing now is of no benefit to himself at all!
Save the ancient capital? Become a hero?
Come on, how could people at their level not know the impact of this matter?

Even if Lu Cheng really saved the ancient capital, the dark forbidden technique, this thing...

But, why did Lu Cheng go to such great lengths?
"Take your time to guess." Lu Cheng stood up and walked downstairs.

"It's better to discuss and come up with a unified conclusion. Let me see how powerful your imagination is."

"..."

……

On the streets of the ancient capital.

After leaving the Clock Tower Magic Association, Lu Cheng approached Asharuya again.

And Asharuya, who knew the whole situation through her own intelligence connections, was somewhat confused about Lu Cheng's actions.

For him, no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, no matter whether the ancient capital can be saved, the negative impact far outweighs the positive impact!

Moreover, with Xizhe here, Lu Cheng can leave safely, so why would he do these things...

"You can't figure it out either?" Lu Cheng asked.

"I really don't understand." Asharuya said.

"Your current behavior is completely asking for trouble and is a thankless task."

"I think so too." Lu Cheng nodded.

If you ignore his secret plans and only look at what he does on the surface, his behavior really doesn't make sense.

Of course, it’s not completely unreasonable.

If we regard him as a saint who is able to sacrifice himself for others, then all this is justified.

But, do you think in this direction?
will not.

People love to imagine, and they like to imagine in a dark direction.

People would rather believe that he risked his life for an ulterior motive than regard him as a saint.

Therefore, Wen Tai, who was able to create an image of a saint for himself worldwide, was truly terrifying in his methods and scheming!

A true saint will not be worshipped or understood by the world. A saint recognized by everyone is definitely not pure!

"Then what are you doing this for?" Asharuya asked puzzled.

"Whatever you think I am doing, that's what I am doing." Lu Cheng shrugged.

"I won't interfere with other people's judgments. Forcibly changing other people's opinions is ultimately false. Only your own judgment is your truest thought."

"If you believe me, then I don't need to say anything more."

"If you don't believe me, then everything I say is nonsense."

"I'm not interested in things that need to be maintained with great care."
