Wizard Immortal

Chapter 649 The Promise of the Lord of Darkness

"Fate is originally without trace, so it is a good thing to be able to see the traces of fate."

Sitting on the wooden chair, Adir stood up on foot and then smiled, "But rather than watching fate unfold before our eyes, we should participate in it ourselves, step by step, and realize the destiny we see."

"From observer of destiny to architect of destiny, and even change of destiny."

"Change your destiny." Phil paused, as if hearing this for the first time. He froze, subconsciously considering the feasibility of this idea.

"But... is it really possible to do something like this?"

"How will you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Adir smiled and then said, "From a legendary perspective, the world is in perpetual change. All things, living beings, countless particles, and even concepts like time and space are constantly in motion, which is why we have this vibrant world before us."

"Fate is just like any other."

Looking at Phil, whose face was extremely handsome, he calmly said, "So-called destiny is nothing more than the path that a group of people have walked, a trajectory that is constantly changing."

"But when it comes to the fate of an individual, what determines one's future has never been so-called fate, but one's own will."

"The path is always in your heart, and only under your own feet!"

"What you said makes a good point." Phil stood there silently for a long time before smiling and saying, "You've successfully piqued my interest."

"Tomorrow, I'll move over with my luggage, and then we'll head to the Northern Desert together."

"You can even stay in Tam City a little longer if you don't mind."

Looking at Adir, he thought for a moment and then said, "I have lived in Tam City for many years and know many talented friends. If you need, I can visit them one by one and invite them to come with us."

"Thank you very much."

Seeing that Firi had been persuaded by his persuasive words, Adir smiled and said, "Go ahead and do it. If you need anything along the way, just let me know."

He is not short of money.

Putting aside the past, in just these three months, Gruul has been showering him with gifts from time to time in order to express his gratitude.

After hearing the news of his ascension to legendary status, many nobles in Tam City and the surrounding area came to visit him one after another, each bringing generous gifts.

It can be said that even if he did nothing, just by the things he received as gifts, Adir would now be one of the richest people in the world.

"Probably not."

Phil smiled and said, "Your reputation has been quite impressive lately. If people hear that it's you who's inviting them, they'll probably agree without hesitation."

This is the influence of a legendary figure.

A legendary being possesses enough power to suppress the world and create a vast empire single-handedly.

Being able to follow such people is, in a sense, a rare honor and opportunity.

It's like someone who has just been reborn and sees CloudTeng and Ma Huateng before they even started their businesses and became successful.

You don't need to do anything extra, just kowtow and worship.

At that moment, Firi said goodbye to Adir and then hurriedly turned and left.

After he left, another group of people came forward to visit.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Hilna, dressed in the dimly lit church robes, greeted Adir with a smile.

"Two months and thirteen days is indeed quite a long time," Adir smiled.

Hilna was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You remember very well, Your Excellency."

The sunlight shone on the ground and onto Hilna, illuminating her fair and delicate skin. Her long, slightly wavy hair cascaded down her back, and her exquisite and beautiful face wore the purest smile, as if carrying the most sincere and beautiful blessings and expectations for people. The moment one saw her, goodwill would rise in one's heart.

"How is the situation at the Church of Darkness?" Adir asked, looking at Hilna.

"Everything is fine." Hilna smiled. "Thanks to you, the Church of Darkness did not suffer too many losses this time, and most people are still alive."

"As for the loss of some supplies, as long as people are still alive, they will be able to recover sooner or later."

"That's good." Adir nodded.

Three months ago, after rescuing Prince Gruul, Adir did not forget the Dark Church.

Strictly speaking, he had no connection with the Church of the Dark, but out of consideration for eradicating the Church of the Night's Watch, he still went there and completely wiped out the Church of the Night's Watch's forces there.

As a result, he won the friendship of the Dark Church.

"I heard you're going to the northern deserts to explore?"

After a moment of silence, Hilna suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Yes." The news had already spread far and wide, and Adir didn't deny it, nodding in agreement.

"If you need any help, just tell us. We have some advantages here."

Hilna nodded and said, "In addition, once you've settled down there, we can also send you some necessary supplies."

"Thank you very much."

Adir smiled and didn't refuse, but looking at Hilna's expression, he asked, "Is there anything you need from me?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Hilna placed her hands on her chest, a wry smile on her face: "You just helped us once, and I didn't really want to bother you again."

"However, this time, because the matter is so important, I have no choice but to trouble you."

"Please speak," Adir said calmly.

"Our Lord is about to descend."

Adir paused, staring blankly at Hilna, seemingly quite surprised.

Although he had long understood that this was an era in which the gods were about to return one by one, and that the silent gods were about to return, and that there was even a manifestation of the Blood Moon God beside him at this moment, he was still very shocked when he heard that a real god was about to descend.

After all, the Lord of Darkness is not a god like the God of Blood Moon, whose very existence has been completely annihilated. Instead, he is a god who has inherited his will and radiance from ancient times.

The impact of such a deity's resurrection would be unimaginable.

"For reasons that are inconvenient to explain, the descent of our Lord was not a physical descent, but merely the manifestation of a wisp of his will."

Looking at Adir before her, Hilna continued, "Even so, the descent of a true god will have a significant impact, and there's a good chance that someone will plot against us."

"So, we'd like to ask you to come and help us out this time."

"Who dares to disrespect a true god?" Adir frowned and asked in return.

"Too many to be true."

Hilna gave a bitter smile: "Ambitious people who try to seize divinity are everywhere, just like that Bloody Knight, and even the churches may not be so benevolent towards us."

"The relationship between true gods is not necessarily friendly, and there is even more competition between churches. In the past years, there have been quite a few churches that have suppressed the dark churches, or those that have been suppressed by us."

"I understand." Adir pondered for a moment, then continued, "What will I gain by helping you?"

"A promise."

Hilna raised her hand, and drops of dim divine power began to emerge on her arm. Then, under Adir's gaze, a vast and complex set of rules and mysteries began to arise out of thin air, mixed with a bit of pure true spiritual power to the extreme, and a majestic aura, like the lofty and majestic will of a god.

"In the name of the Lord of Darkness, we promise that today you stand in our camp, and one day when you ascend the throne, we will stand by your side to protect you from persecution."

"Is that so?" Adir was silent for a moment, then a thought struck him, and he nodded, sensing some kind of mental message. "Okay."

Seeing Adir nod, Hilna immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

A legendary figure, such a peak powerhouse, is always the most important.

Of course, with the Dark Church's long-standing foundation, if it were truly willing to spend a fortune, it could certainly sway some legendary figures.

Legendary figures are easy to find, but trustworthy legendary figures are hard to find.

No one can guarantee that when the weakened Lord of Darkness descends, the legends they seek out will help them resist external enemies, or they will take the opportunity to attack the Lord of Darkness's incarnation in order to seize his divine status.

It is precisely because of this hidden risk that candidates are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The reason Adir was approached by them was because his past deeds had already proven his reliability to some extent.

Even excluding other factors, if he wanted to seize the divine status, he could have easily targeted the Blood Moon God's incarnation beside him, without needing to seek out other deities.

After making a promise to Hilna and personally seeing her off, Adir turned and went to the hall.

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

As he entered the grand hall and looked at Mar before him, he casually asked.

I'm not entirely sure.

In front of Adir, Mar shook his head: "However, although the Lord of Darkness is not a benevolent god, he rarely returns what he promises, so we can trust his promises."

"Being able to confirm this is enough for you, my lord."

She looked at Adir earnestly and said, "The road to the throne is long and arduous. Without the support of pioneers, it is destined to be extremely difficult."

"The Lord of Darkness's promise is a good offer for us as well."

"As for the coming of the Lord of Darkness, it would be best if it succeeds, but if it fails, we can withdraw in advance without suffering too much loss."

Adir nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
