Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 468 You Cannot Learn the "Longevity" Magic Ritual

The atmosphere inside the carriage froze.

Above the carriage frame outside the luxurious carriage, two magic chanters were the first to notice the anomaly inside.

A look of horror filled his face!
These two are renowned figures in the Imperial Magic World, and are also Fluder's personal disciples, great mages who possess fourth-order magical abilities.

"teacher?"

The middle-aged magician exchanged a glance with his companion, suppressing his inner shock, anger, and panic, and asked in a relatively calm voice.

Meanwhile, the other magic caster had already activated his equipment, ready to launch a magical attack at any moment.

Rolling around~
Rolling around~
Eight-legged horses snorted as they pulled a luxurious carriage along the main stone-paved road of the capital, the wheels rubbing against the ground with gentle vibrations.

"It's nothing." A faint, aged voice came from inside the carriage.

The two magic chanters breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were extremely grim.

To be able to serve by the teacher's side!
Listening to the teacher's teachings is an honor for the entire empire... no, for all magic chanters.

Warriors like Gazef of the Kingdom and Reinas, the traitor to the Empire, performed on the battlefield this fall.

This made the two famous throughout the kingdom!
Speaking of magic chanters.

No one can compare to this teacher, whose fame has spread beyond the country and reached all corners of the world.
This is the strongest magic caster in the empire, and the most outstanding magic caster in all countries—"Triple Magic Caster" Fluda Paradion!

His talent and strength had already reached the level of the legendary thirteen heroes.

This is a living legend!
The two of them were completely unaware that someone had sneaked into the carriage. Such negligence and carelessness were enough to greatly diminish their standing in the teacher's eyes!
in particular……

Is there any leakage or loss of imperial intelligence involved?

Silence reigned inside the carriage.

Fuluda's eyes became inscrutable, his drooping eyelids obscuring half of his eyelids as he stared at Tang Zheng, who was dressed mysteriously opposite him.

【Zhilanong】?
This is a mysterious secret society that should have been little known to outsiders, but the Hill Incident brought the organization to the public's attention.

now.

This organization has long been labeled as "evil"!
"Alliance leader?"

Fluda looked up and said in a deep and unfathomable voice, "The 'leader' I know is not you."

In rumors.

The leader of the alliance died in the Hills Incident, or there were rumors that he did not die. Regardless of which piece of information was true, Fluda did not care.

What truly attracted him!

During the Hills incident, the Alliance Leader seemed to have used the power of a 7th-tier magic, which was beyond the level of magic he currently knew.

"This is a meaningless topic."

Tang Zheng did not deny it, and spoke in a hoarse voice that had been modified by a magical item.

"That's a stupid question."

Fluda paused for a moment, then said, "Then state your purpose, Alliance Leader."

The person in front of you!

He could easily deceive four perceptive warriors and his two magic-chanting disciples, appearing out of thin air inside the carriage without even his noticing.

Such means.

It's pointless to dwell on whether the other party is the leader of the [Zhilanong] alliance!

This is an extremely dangerous person.

He is also a magic chanter whose skill level is absolutely no less than his!
Fruda's deep wrinkles radiated from the corners of his eyes to his temples. Although his expression was calm, there was a deep sense of vigilance in his eyes.

"We can currently determine that the other party is not hostile."

"Given the current situation of the Empire, it is not advisable to antagonize such powerful magic casters who can evade detection methods and are adept at hiding."

"However, if..."

Hidden beneath his sleeve, a magical ring on his finger was activated.

Wow——!
The delicate silk cuffs covered the palms, concealing the faint magical light.

"The Bahars Empire has existed for more than 200 years since its establishment."

"And you—Lord Freda—have supported one emperor after another and witnessed the prosperity of this country. You are truly remarkable."

Tang Zheng exclaimed in admiration and asked curiously:
“I am very interested in the magic ritual for immortality developed by Lord Fluda. This is why I have come here unexpectedly.”

to be frank!
Tang Zheng was skeptical about whether the "immortality magic ritual" developed by Fluda could truly grant immortality.

That's it!

As Tang Zheng's purpose was revealed, Fuluda's tense nerves relaxed.

"The power of magic is full of infinite possibilities," Fluda murmured, speaking calmly.
"If I refuse, you won't be able to learn."

While saying such a thing might offend the other party, Fluta disdained to lie about this.

"You are not the first person to want to learn about this magic, nor will you be the last."

"In their later years, the emperors of the empire all sought to achieve immortality through this magical ritual."

Fluta displayed the proud spirit of a sage, naturally raising his arm to rest on the carriage window sill, which was covered by two layers of silk:
"Unfortunately, they can't do it."

"The prerequisite for using this magical ritual is that you must be proficient in three magic systems: magic power, mental magic, and faith magic."

"This is just the most basic requirement."

A look of nostalgia appeared in Fluta's eyes:
"The previous emperor was my disciple, and also an exceptionally skilled magic caster. The current 'Imperial Ministry of Magic' was established by him."

"His Majesty the previous emperor spared no effort in promoting magic policies. If possible, I would like him to be able to live forever."

"Unfortunately, the power of this ritual requires specific conditions to be met, and it can only be used on oneself, otherwise..."

As Fluder finished speaking, a cold laugh escaped his lips.

As someone who pioneered a unique path,
Fluder was not a selfish person, nor was he one who liked to keep profound magic and technology hidden away.

More than 200 years have passed.

The Empire has so many outstanding magic chanters and warriors!
If the longevity ritual could be used on these people, Fluda would have long ago made them live forever, so they could study magic together.

It can further increase the empire's national strength. The accumulation of top talents' "immortality" over 200 years is enough to crush other countries!

This situation did not occur because it was impossible to achieve.

Silence fell once again inside the luxurious carriage.

Fluda was slightly surprised, as she had thought her direct refusal would anger the other party.

result.

The situation didn't turn out as I had imagined!
"Is that so? I think I can give it a try." Tang Zheng's voice was hoarse, but still steady.

"hehe."

Fruda let out a low, aged laugh.

A soft "snap" sound!
Tang Zheng didn't seem to care, and slowly raised his wrist and snapped his fingers.

——Boom!

next moment.

The carriage suddenly lurched, and the two warriors driving it, along with the four guards on top, were nearly thrown off by the abrupt stop.

Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people, and they easily controlled their forward-leaning bodies.

"hiss--"

The eight-legged horse was suddenly given more strength and was forcibly pulled back, letting out a painful neigh.

Click! Click!
The wheels on both sides pressed down, creating tiny cracks in the solid stone slabs of the ground.

"teacher!"

"Teacher!" "Lord Fluta!"

"...!"

The guards protecting the carriage paled in shock and were just about to take action.

"Continue driving."

An aged yet powerful voice came from inside the carriage once again.

Everyone exchanged glances and could only go about their business. The two elite warriors pulling the carriage pulled the reins again to keep the eight-legged horse moving.

inside the carriage.

A heavy, black tower shield, radiating negative energy and riddled with cracks, stood silently in the center of the carriage.

The sturdy wooden beam below.

The weight of the black tower shield caused it to crack!

"The Death Knight's shield?"

When Fluder saw the familiar black tower shield before him, a look of excitement and astonishment crossed his face.

Inside the Black Tower within the Imperial Magic Department.

There is a Death Knight imprisoned there, and Fluder has been experimenting on how to control the Death Knight, but so far there has been no progress.

You should know about the Hills Incident.

"The root cause of such a great disaster is the emergence of two legendary undead: the Death Knight and the Soul Eater."

Tang Zheng's voice came calmly from behind the black tower shield:
"The appearance of the Soul Eater was an accident."

"However, the Death Knights are created, and I imagine Lord Fluda would be quite interested in them."

As the former leader of the [Zhilanong] alliance, he was involved in the entire process of creating the Death Knight, so he naturally knew about it.

not to mention.

Not to mention creating death knights, Tang Zheng also has methods to directly control undead of a higher rank than himself.

The legacy of the [Abyss Body] is entirely in his possession; those guys are quite adept at researching the manipulation of the undead.

"it is good."

Fluder raised his withered hand and gently stroked the black tower shield in front of him, as if touching some rare treasure, and said excitedly:
"But let me make this clear beforehand: if you can't learn it, that's your problem!"

Tang Zheng smiled hoarsely, "Of course."

—The time that follows.

Suddenly, their lives became much more fulfilling, and they even started a routine of going back and forth between two points.

Relying on the abilities of the [player].

Tang Zhengyuan thought he could easily obtain the ability of "immortality," but in the end, Fluda did indeed create a very complicated ritual.

The methods of magical rituals are not considered skills, so they cannot be quickly mastered by consuming skill points.

but.

With the passive ability of [Magic Transcender], even the most complex rituals are just a bit troublesome for Tang Zheng.

Besides his interactions with Fluta.

Every so often, Tang Zheng would return to the depths of the valley to check on the adaptation status of Jue Si Jue Ming.

Based on previous research.

Tang Zheng had long ago discovered that people from other worlds who were downgraded had a more obvious advantage than players.

Players need to consume experience points to level up. The experience points required to level up from level 1 to level 2 and from level 2 to level 1 and then back up are the same.

The natives of this other world are different.

When they die, they lose levels, which is essentially a loss of life level, and can be recovered through training.

In other words.

It is extremely difficult for natives of this other world to increase their strength (from level 1 to level 2), but it is relatively easy to level up again after losing a level.

To use the words from a past life.

It is extremely difficult for athletes to break through their own level, but it is much easier to rehabilitate and train back to their normal level after an injury.

Tang Zheng's arrangements for absolute death.

The idea is to first drop 5 levels, making room for the [Cursed Knight] to level up quickly.

—Lower Earth Moon.

12 month 31 day.

As the year draws to a close, the "job reset" phase has been completed, transitioning from level 88 to level 82.

Theoretically, you only need to drop 5 levels.

Even the highest-ranking resurrection magic, "Rank 9: True Revival," will still cause the user to drop two ranks after resurrection.

The only thing Tang Zheng could guarantee was that the professions that would be completely wiped out were the [Bandit], [Assassin], and [Executioner].

As for which one it is, and how many levels will be dropped respectively?

Tang Zheng was unable to confirm it.

The religious capital of the Silian Theocracy.

Deep within the underground palace.

tread!
tread!
The black ankle boots, worn by the character Jueshi, tread on the smooth stone slabs, while he plays with a brand new nine-linked ring toy in his hands.

Footsteps echoed intermittently in the empty, palace-style passageway.

"You're finally back."

A sound of relief came from the front of the passage.

"Oh."

Zesshi Zesshi raised his head, saw the divine captain in front of the passage, nodded casually in response, then lowered his head again to continue playing with the nine-linked rings in his hand.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~
The sound of metal rings colliding continued.

Captain Shenren was slightly helpless when he saw this scene. It had been half a month since Zesshi Zesshi disappeared.

If it weren't for his cover, the high priests would have discovered Jue Si Jue Ming's disappearance long ago.

This is also why Tang Zheng made Jue Si Jue Ming return to the Holy Kingdom.

First, the time spent away was too long.

Secondly, as the year draws to a close, the priests of the theocracy will inevitably have some contact with the divine beings.

kindness?
The captain of the God-like team narrowed his dark red pupils. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely sensed that the aura of absolute death was weakening.

He knew that Jue Si Jue Ming's disappearance was related to that mysterious and terrifying man.

Zesshi Zesshi was enthusiastically disassembling the nine-linked rings when he stopped in his tracks as he passed Captain Shenren.

"Ah la~"

Zesshi Zesshi reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden gift box, tossing it to Captain Shenren: "I almost forgot."

boom!
Gift?

Captain Shenren caught it with one hand, looking at Zesshi Zesshi with a mixture of confusion and surprise. He had known Zesshi for so long, and this was the first time he had received a gift from him.

"It was given to you by him."

Zetsu no Shiki continued walking forward without looking back, his voice languid, and he waved his hand dismissively.
"Also, let me tell you, Happy New Year, oh, what a strange greeting."

Captain Shenren stared blankly at the gift box in his hand, a rare look of bewilderment on his face: "That man..."
