Chapter 99 Death Law, Demon Army Invasion?
One week later.
There is news about the high-priced bounty posted by Rennes at the Adventurer's Guild.
Someone is willing to exchange the Holy Word Priest inheritance for a large sum of money.
However.
That person is not very satisfied with Rennes' offer.
They hope to negotiate with Rennes in person.
Upon receiving the news.
Rennes immediately went to the Adventurer's Guild.
However.
That person is not in the Kingdom of Lancelot.
But in the Kingdom of Cascos, more than 100,000 kilometers away.
In this situation.
Rennes can only use the image transmission magic circle set up by the Adventurer's Guild to communicate with the other party.
Paying a fee of 50,000 gold coins for its use.
The image transmission magic circle is activated.
Appearing before Rennes is a middle-aged man wearing high-quality magical armor.
His muscles are bulging, he has a beard, and his black-brown long hair is casually draped.
He looks quite wild and domineering.
Clearly, he is a very powerful transcendent.
"You are the one who posted the task, offering a reward for the Holy Word Priest inheritance, right!"
"I currently have a batch of Holy Word Priest knowledge books obtained from ancient ruins."
"Although the inheritance is somewhat incomplete and can only be practiced up to the 13th level, it contains several Holy Word command spells."
"I'm sure you understand the value of these command spells."
"Name your price!"
After the image connection, this middle-aged man gets straight to the point without any nonsense.
Upon hearing this.
Rennes' eyes also light up.
As one of the rare offensive skills of the Holy Word Priest profession, the spells of the Holy Word command series are extremely powerful and mysterious.
They can be cast quickly and without a spell attack trajectory.
They cannot be dodged or resisted.
One can only rely on their own physical attributes to withstand them.
Take the most representative Holy Word spell, the Death Command, for example.
After using it, the opponent is immediately subjected to a death judgment.
If their physique or spirit fails to pass the test in any way.
The recipient will immediately die on the spot, completely dead.
It is even more terrifying than the infamous instant death spell, Death Finger, of the Lich.
And the creator of this death decree.
A semi-Divine Grade Saint Word Priest named Mosca once used this Saint Word decree to instantly kill an ancient evil red dragon.
Therefore, he became famous in the Roland Continent.
Of course.
Rennes also knew that there was no such top-level faith decree spell in the Saint Word Priest inheritance that the other party was preparing to sell.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to sell it.
And he definitely couldn't afford it.
He asked.
Sure enough.
The effects of the several faith decree spells in the other party's Saint Word Priest inheritance were all ordinary.
They were just a few decrees that deprived the opponent of their five senses and inflicted pain on them.
Of course.
Even ordinary faith decrees.
Due to the characteristic of being unable to resist and only being able to endure, their value was still considerable.
After pondering for a moment.
Rennes gave a quite high price.
"Ten million gold coins! This is the highest price I can offer."
Upon hearing Rennes' offer.
Upon hearing this.
A hint of satisfaction appeared on the face of the middle-aged man across from him.
This price had already exceeded his expectations by quite a bit.
Without hesitation.
He directly chose to accept Rennes' offer.
After reaching a consensus.
The two immediately began the transaction.
Although they were separated by over a hundred thousand kilometers, the Adventurer's Association had set up a teleportation magic array internally.
It cost over a hundred thousand gold coins to borrow it.
The teleportation array flashed.
A large box of books appeared in front of Rennes.
He asked the people from the Adventurer's Association to help identify them.
After confirming that there were no problems.
Rennes handed over ten million gold coins to the middle-aged man through the teleportation array.
The transaction was complete.
"Brother, you're straightforward!"
"I gained a lot from this transaction. Let me give you some free information as well!"
"The Abyss demons have been very active on the Roland continent recently!"
"There might be a demonic disaster in the coming years."
After delivering this message, the middle-aged man didn't wait for Rennes to react.
He left directly.
The transmission of the image transfer magic array was interrupted.
Rennes didn't pay attention to this.
At this moment, Rennes's attention was fully focused on the news the middle-aged man had just delivered.
Demonic disaster.
As the name suggests, it is a disaster caused by demons.
Through the Abyssal gods opening dimensional channels, a massive army of demons runs from the Abyssal plane to the Roland continent, burning, killing, and plundering.
Reducing everything to ashes.
Every time a demonic disaster occurs, the death toll of humans on the Roland continent is at least in the billions.
Even legendary powerhouses will fall in large numbers.
After all,
Among the demonic army that makes up the demonic disaster, legendary-level demons are never lacking.
It can be said that
This is an extremely terrifying natural disaster.
Upon hearing this bad news,
Rennes's originally cheerful mood of obtaining the inheritance of the Holy Word Priest was instantly gone.
"It seems that I need to make some preparations."
Rennes let out a heavy sigh and thought to himself.
He didn't know the details of the middle-aged man, so he naturally couldn't completely believe his words.
But preparations still needed to be made.
Wasting a little money
Is still better than being caught off guard by the demon army.
Thinking like this,
Rennes put the box of inheritance books related to the Holy Word Priest into his spatial ring.
Then, he hurriedly left the Adventurer's Association.
And returned to the Habs Manor.
Rennes immediately started to purchase large quantities of food and iron ore.
Especially food, it was of utmost importance.
In case a demonic disaster really occurs,
Under the threat of the demon army, the food production of the Lance Duchy will definitely decrease significantly.
It's necessary to stock up on food.
Otherwise, even if one doesn't get killed by the demons, they will starve to death.
As for iron ore, let alone mentioning it.
Whether it is for forging military equipment or repairing weapons, it is necessary to use it.
Moreover, these two types of resources can be considered as hard currency.
Even if there is no magical disaster, it won't lose much money.
After instructing the matter of acquiring supplies, Rennes temporarily put aside the uncertain news of the magical disaster.
Turned his attention to Anna instead.
After all.
Now that he has obtained the inheritance of the Holy Word Priest profession, it is time to cultivate this girl with unlimited potential.
Although Rennes is not a priest by profession, he is a paladin who practices both magic and martial arts.
Not only does he possess a cultivation level of 14th stage in Dou Qi, but his proficiency in magic has also reached the level of a 10th Grand Magician.
He is exceptionally knowledgeable and insightful.
Understanding the transmission of the Holy Word by the pastor is not a problem.
With the guidance of teacher Rennes, it is not a problem.
In addition to her excellent qualifications, Anna cultivated the extraordinary power of the Holy Light in her first practice.
She officially became an apprentice of the Holy Word pastor.
Feeling the energy fluctuations of the Holy Light coming from Anna's body, Rennes was also somewhat shocked.
Don't be fooled by the fact that you just stepped into the extraordinary gate and think it's nothing.
In reality, ordinary people with some talent who want to enter and become an extraordinary apprentice need to put in tremendous effort.
According to the memories of the previous life.
Back then, in order to advance as a knight apprentice, I had to work hard every day to temper my body and practice qigong.
It took a year to successfully cultivate the first trace of fighting spirit.
And Anna?
She succeeded in less than an hour.
This is the power of being close to an epic-level magical talent.
"Lord Rennes, look, I successfully completed the Holy Light History!"
After finishing her first practice, Anna joyfully reported the good news to Rennes.
"Very good! Keep it up!"
Rennes was also generous with his praise.
He didn't misjudge her.
Anna really has the potential of a legend.
Such an amazing performance in her cultivation.
As long as nothing unexpected happens along the way, she will most likely step into the legendary realm in the future.
Thinking of this, Rennes became even more determined to marry Anna and have children with her.
