Chapter 565 Mr. Tang, What Is the Price? (7K)
A pair of long legs.
This was Tang Sen's first impression of the female mage in front of him.
Like most spellcasters, the female mage also wears a long robe, but it is a coquettish purple color, and it is not as loose as ordinary robes. The waist is tightened, wrapping the slender waist, and coming from the thighs. The bottom is slit, and the white jade-like long legs are exposed from the slit without any scruples.
It's more like a dress than a robe.
Of course, in conjunction with the other party's extremely young and beautiful face, this robe does not look out of place on her at all. At most, it only feels that this person's appearance in this mage tower is more out of place.
Seeing the three Tang Sens who were led by the magical creation, the female mage stood up from behind the long dining table. Only then did Tang Sen realize that the other party was extremely tall.
Judging from her facial features and other characteristics, she should be a pure human being, but she is a head taller than Tang Sen.
"A lich with such an interesting form of existence? This is the first time I have seen it." She first looked at Xue Xue and said bluntly: "Your perception is very keen. I am indeed very strong and very rich."
She looked at Varro again: "As for who is stronger, me or the Queen of the Pit Demon Network? I have fought against her, and the gap between her and me is indeed huge."
This female mage didn't seem to care about the so-called social etiquette at all. She expressed her views on Xue Xue and Varo first, and finally turned her attention to Tang Sen and said:
"What you just said, the idea of using 'rules' to describe 'divinity' is very interesting. People who have never understood gods will not realize this."
She opened her arms and said: "The divine power of gods is omnipotent, creates all things, and plays with life and death. This is what normal people think."
Tang Sen heard the undisguised sarcasm in her tone.
"Spell itself is also a form of building rules, but in essence, spells are based on studying the rules of all things in the world and trying to use the power of the rules, and divinity is the rule itself." Tang Sen said the first thing after meeting the female mage In one sentence: "This is why it is difficult for magical means to fight against divinity."
"That's right." The female mage seemed very happy and said: "Never try to use fireball to deal with gods who hold the priesthood of fire, because that will only make the fireball hit your face. But what's interesting is that, in addition to being omniscient and omnipotent, Except for the Creator God, the priesthoods held by other gods are limited.”
"But the types of spells that a spell caster can master are unlimited."
She began to talk endlessly about her understanding of the relationship between gods and spellcasters. Tang Sen would interject a few words from time to time, and the two seemed to be having a great conversation.
As a result, Varro became embarrassed.
He stood aside, neither standing nor sitting. He swore to God that he had never faced such a strange meeting.
It doesn’t matter if you invite guests to the restaurant instead of the living room. It doesn’t matter if you don’t introduce yourself at all and just say some strange words. Why are you suddenly standing and chatting like this now?
Just let me sit down!
The dining table was covered with exquisite and delicious-looking food that was constantly exuding fragrance. This fragrance penetrated into Varro's nasal cavity, causing his mouth to continuously secrete saliva——
This adventure has been too long for Varro. Apart from a dormant pseudo-monster, he didn't eat any delicious food during the journey. The temptation of these foods was simply torture.
Varro's lips moved, wanting to interrupt the conversation between the two, but he didn't dare.
Listen to what this female mage just said. Has she ever fought against Rose?
Even though she said that there was a big gap between her and Rose's strength, the fact that she had fought against that chaotic and evil god and now she was standing here intact was enough to explain the problem!
Moreover, Mr. Tang just mentioned that this female mage might have a weird temper, and the first impression of the meeting also proved that this was indeed the case. Varro was really worried that if he rashly interrupted the other party, he would be imprisoned and suffer all kinds of torture. A strange torture -
Varro heard that, no, even some female mages he had experienced had some strange habits.
He looked at Xue Xue for help, but he soon had the urge to slap himself.
How could this lich who could spend countless hours in the Time Dragon be impatient to wait? Moreover, she didn’t even need to eat!
Fortunately, Varo's torture did not last long, and there was a magical creature present.
"Master, although I know you are in high spirits now, the guests are almost impatient to wait." The magic creation said: "Moreover, if the meat of the Star Boundary Silver Stream Cod King waits any longer, it will miss the most delicious stage."
The female mage glanced at the magical creation with dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "Who is waiting in a hurry? I only have one guest, aren't the other two by the way?"
She didn't care about Varo's subtle expression after hearing these words, and waved her hand nonchalantly: "Forget it, the Star Boundary Silver Stream Cod King is still relatively rare."
She looked at Tang Sen and said, "Then let's eat something first. What you can see on my table are almost all the most precious ingredients in the multiverse!"
She said it matter-of-factly, without any hint of showing off.
The female mage took the lead and sat down at the main seat. The magical creature obviously knew its master very well, so she arranged for the three of them to sit down with thoughtful etiquette. Each exquisite dinner plate flew over and landed in front of the three of them, and the food on the table was knocked. The benefits are distributed on the plate.
"Try the Star Boundary Silver Current Cod King first." The magic creature explained like a butler: "Silver Current Cod is extremely rare and only lives in the most intense places. One finger-sized one can be sold for thousands in the Star Boundary. Gold coins, and Silver Stream Cod King is even rarer. The price of each ounce of this rare ingredient is measured in units of more than 10,000."
“No cooking required, it’s already a delicacy in this world.”
Tang Sen lowered his head and saw the silver, still glowing fish meat placed in the middle of the plate.
Varro couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, and then his whole body was shocked, and his whole face relaxed, showing an expression of extreme happiness.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Although Tang Sen eats everything, he still loves food and has eaten a lot of food in various worlds.
But it was indeed the first time that it was so expensive. Although money was just a meaningless number to Tang Sen, he did not deliberately spend such an exaggerated amount on food.
Picking up the mithril fork, Tang Sen forked the fish into his mouth.
Before you chew it, the fish meat is like a cool stream of water, surging directly in your entire mouth.
Melts in your mouth!
The indescribable sweetness shot up from the roof of his mouth to the heavens, and Tang Sen couldn't help but relax.
"Not bad, right?" The female mage looked at Tang Sen's expression and said proudly: "In terms of eating, I believe that even those gods can't be more professional than me. Of course, those gods probably don't eat much either. "
"It's really good." Tang Sen took a long breath and said, "It almost refreshed my understanding of food."
"Then enjoy it. It's rare for Cuixi to care so much about someone. I've always been curious about you." The female mage smiled and said: "Now it seems that it is not disappointing."
"Care?" Tang Sen was stunned for a moment.
"Don't get me wrong." The female mage said, "I don't care as much as you think. Although I don't mind Cui Xi falling in love, or even getting married and having children, I don't mind her partnering with any race, even devils or devils. But what she cares about is another thing."
"About her feeling like she was having problems with her memory and cognition."
Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There is one person missing from her knowledge." The female mage looked at Tang Sen and smiled: "However, she was able to hear that person's story from her partner Barn, and even those experiences were very important to her. Very familiar, after missing that person, my memories become very distorted."
"She said the man's name was Tang Sen."
Tang Sen was silent.
He knew what happened. The god who coveted Neverwinter City had erased all traces of himself, Neverwinter City, and even the entire world of Faerûn, including the memories of those who had met him.
In the face of divine power, Cuixi will naturally not be spared.
The reason why Baan still remembers it is probably because Baan has been given the Mark of the Dark Lord, and his divine power is not enough to shake the characteristics of the Mark of the Dark Lord.
"Then what?" Tang Sen asked.
"I can't solve Cui Xi's problem for the time being." The female mage said: "I don't know what you have done, but I must emphasize that the existence that affects Cui Xi and even everyone in Faerun is not an ordinary god, there are only a few Only the existence of countless powerful divine powers would make it possible for me to be completely unable to start, or even unable to find any clues."
Tang Sen said sincerely: "I'm really sorry about Cui Xi's situation. This is something I didn't expect."
"It doesn't matter." The female mage shook her head: "This is no longer just your business."
"How dare you touch my students? If I find out who did it, I will definitely rush into his divine kingdom and crush his divine fire!"
"Of course, I probably can't do it with my current strength." The female mage laughed: "So, before I can do it, I will probably make trouble for his chosen ones and priests first."
Varro trembled.
This female mage is so evil. Is it necessary to protect her shortcomings like this?
Listening to these few words, it was just some changes in cognition, and there was no negative impact at all. This female mage actually wanted to extinguish the divine fire in revenge?
Tang Sen was not surprised by this. If this female mage didn't protect her shortcomings, she wouldn't have been able to give Cui Xi, who was just a third-ring mage, so many magic scrolls.
"Let's not mention these disappointing things for now." The female mage's mood changed quickly, and she suddenly returned to a happy state, saying: "I forgot to introduce myself, so I won't mention my name. It's not interesting. Most people They all call me Violet Master."
"Violet Mage?"
"Doesn't it seem less intimidating?" Violet laughed and said, "I am relatively low-key."
Varro couldn't help but glance at her again, thinking about this mage tower, the palaces surrounding the mage tower, and the legendary astral beasts pulling the mage tower. This person probably has nothing to do with the description of low-key.
Tang Sen didn't feel much about this title. He said calmly: "Mage Violet, I heard Cui Xi say that you seem to have studied Netheril's magic knowledge?"
"Even in the entire multiverse, Arthas' behavior in Netheril is very explosive. Of course I will be interested in Netheril." Violet said: "Of course, I didn't get all Netheril. Riel’s knowledge inheritance, and there is really no way to cast those Netherese spells.”
Tang Sen was a little surprised: "Not even you?"
The female mage in front of me is probably the most powerful spell caster I have ever seen besides those gods.
With the power of mortals on par with the gods, even the great arcane masters of the Netherese era may not be able to compare with her.
"How can the limitations of the Magic Network be so easy to break through?" Violet said casually: "For ordinary spellcasters, the most important thing about the Magic Network may be the word in front of it, but for me, the essence of the Magic Network is a net."
"As long as it is a spell, it is difficult not to be enveloped and restricted by this net cast by the goddess of magic."
"You mentioned it's difficult." Xue Xue suddenly interrupted and said, "Can you cast spells in a place without magic net?"
"That's not that simple." Violet leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair: "I'm afraid you don't quite understand what the Magic Network is."
"The magic web is the most important vocation of the goddess of magic."
"The essence of the magic net is the power that encompasses all the magic elements in the world, and the goddess of magic is the incarnation of the original magic. In other words, where there is magic, there is the magic net."
"Where there is no magic power, if you want to cast spells, you may only have to use magic props, or directly use your own magic power. This is naturally rootless water and unsustainable."
Tang Sen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Violet's knowledge of the magic network is obviously very accurate. The reason why he can bypass the magic network and cast spells is because he never uses external magic elements to cast spells, but directly uses his own magic power.
No matter where there is a magic net, or where there is no magic net, or even where there is no magic power, Tang Sen can cast spells smoothly.
Moreover, Tang Sen's method of restoring magic power is not to absorb magic power from the outside world, but to restore his own extraordinary characteristics that were plundered through the shepherd characteristics. Normal eating or absorption of other energy can replenish it.
It is actually very unfair to use Tang Sen as an example to look at other spell casters.
Hearing Zi Luolan's explanation, Xue Xue nodded: "In other words, as long as you use magic power, it is impossible to bypass the magic network?"
"Only rules can fight against rules." Tang Sen said: "If the power of the rules of the spell structure is strong enough, it may be able to deal with other gods, but it is impossible to deal with the spell itself. The magic network itself is a rule. In other words, the magic network is itself a rule. The net is a product of the divine power of the goddess of magic.”
"It's like using fireball to deal with a god with the flame priesthood. It has no effect." Violet took over: "Using the power of the magic goddess to deal with the magic goddess is naturally impossible."
"It sounds a bit confusing." Xue Xue said.
"In fact it is." Violet spread her hands.
"Wait a minute -" Varro finally couldn't help but speak: "Why are you discussing these all of a sudden?"
"Anyway, there's no need to deal with the goddess of magic, right? Isn't the Magic Network good?"
"If there were no magic network, there would be big problems in Faerûn and the entire multiverse!"
Violet glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Tang Sen explained it, saying: "It's just an academic discussion, Mr. Varro doesn't need to pay attention."
Violet sneered: "Academic discussion? No, if I can do it, I really hope that the Magic Network thing will cease to exist."
"The truth of magic that I have studied all my life, and the spells I have created, if I want to cast them, do I have to obtain the consent of the goddess of magic and borrow magic power from her?"
"She monopolizes all magic power and imposes many restrictions on spell casters. Shouldn't magic power belong to everyone who can use it? When did it become the private property of the goddess of magic?"
"But..." Varro whispered: "The goddess of magic was born with the emergence of primitive magic power. She and magic power are essentially one."
"These are two different things." Violet said angrily: "Magic is magic, gods are gods, you know nothing."
Varro immediately lowered his head, not daring to continue arguing with this grumpy female mage with extreme ideas.
"Actually, it's not that unsolvable." Tang Sen suddenly said: "I don't have any objections to the goddess of magic. It's just an academic discussion-"
He first folded his armor and then continued: "It is impossible to affect the goddess of magic through any means of magic, but divine power can. The other gods, even those who are hostile to the goddess of magic, are actually They can also release spells without any hindrance. Although they rarely do this, after all, for them, directly using divine power is a more convenient and powerful method."
"You are right." Violet nodded in agreement: "There is only one question."
"Divine power is not easy to obtain. At least my attempts have never been successful."
"Elminster has divine power——" Varro couldn't help but interrupt again.
"Becoming the chosen one of the gods?" Violet sneered disdainfully: "Being a dog for the goddess of magic?"
"you--"
Before Varro finished speaking, he suddenly found that his mouth had disappeared, and his nose was gone, leaving only bare skin.
"If it weren't for Tang Sen's face, you should be fed to the giant beasts in the astral world." Violet said: "I don't mind destroying the anchor points of a magic goddess. Anyway, she has many anchor points."
Townsend has no doubt that Violet has the ability to kill Varo.
He did not stop Violet's behavior. Mr. Varro was really noisy and confused about the situation.
"The divine power obtained by becoming a chosen one is meaningless." After dealing with Varro's noise, Violet resumed her serious discussion posture: "And to pay the price of faith and freedom for this is even more stupid. .”
"How about directly seeking divinity, directly allowing yourself to possess divinity?" Tang Sen said.
Violet: "Become a god?"
"That's right." Tang Sen said: "Master Violet, you wouldn't mind becoming a god, would you?"
"How is it possible?" Violet suddenly laughed: "If I can have this opportunity, I will not let it go no matter what, but...Tang Sen, where does divinity come from?"
"Even if I can defeat some weak gods, it is impossible for me to obtain their divinity. The era when saints walked on the earth has long passed, and the gods' bodies will no longer leave their own kingdom easily. .”
"Over the years, I have tried my best to obtain divine power, hoping to go further with the help of research on divine power, but the only thing I can obtain are some artifacts containing divine power. Because of the difference in nature, as a mortal, I cannot even sense those divine powers. Substance exists, let alone understanding.”
Tang Sen nodded.
In this multiverse, it is indeed difficult to achieve divinity and become a god.
All the gods would not be willing to see a new person appear and compete with them for the priesthood.
Tang Sen pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand, and the figures of Varo and Xue Xue disappeared immediately.
Violet could tell that this was being taken into his demiplane by Tang Sen.
"Interesting method." Her eyes lit up: "I didn't feel that you invoked the magic network. How did you do it?"
"Is there a more convenient place?" Tang Sen just asked without answering her.
Violet stared at Tang Sen for a while, realizing that the other person wanted to say something that he didn't want others to hear.
So she nodded and said meaningfully: "I knew that you must have a secret when being targeted by such a powerful god."
"Come with me."
She opened a portal and walked in.
Tang Sen followed and passed through the portal. Tang Sen found that he had also entered a demiplane. It was empty, not even land, just nothingness.
Violet closed the portal and said, "Here, even the gods can't possibly know what happened."
She said with some pride: "There is no magic power, no matter, this is a vacuum, completely isolated from the outside world, and no perception can take effect in it."
"There are still some." Tang Sen did not say these words to avoid ruining the friendly atmosphere of the conversation.
This space, at least, could not isolate Tang Sen's sense of the Dark Lord's mark.
"It's quite spacious here."
Tang Sen looked around, then looked at Violet again, and said, "Master Violet, I have something that you should be interested in."
"I'm already looking forward to it." Violet smiled: "Although, there are probably not many things in the entire multiverse that interest me."
"But, you are so special, maybe you can give me some surprises."
"I believe you won't be disappointed." Tang Sen's consciousness sank into his mind space.
A huge body suddenly appeared next to the two of them.
"How can you use spells in this demiplane?" Violet was startled, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the huge body: "Wait, is this a giant?"
"No, it doesn't seem like it. The feeling she gives me is a bit strange."
"Her name is Cory Busso." Tang Sen didn't let Violet guess for too long and directly gave the answer: "A god."
This was the reward that Townsend brought out when he entered the world of Pirates of the Caribbean for the second time. Because he later obtained the deception divinity, and he also had the divinity of Cory Busso, he didn’t think much of it. The divinity of the ocean is repeated.
It's really too weak.
However, no matter how weak it is, it is still a complete divinity that can mobilize the core of the power of rules.
"God?" Violet couldn't help but get closer and looked at Cory Busso carefully: "This is not the same as the god in my impression. Whether it is her form of existence or the sense of oppression she gives people."
"She's too weak."
Violet smiled and said: "Tang Sen, this joke is very interesting. I almost believed that you really took out a god. But I can guarantee that this thing can't even compete with my student Cui Xi. Maybe she will be defeated by a meteor explosion." Gone."
"There is no such weak god. Even the body of the god is enough to crush this thing countless times."
She pointed at Tang Sen with her finger and said, "Don't worry, I don't mind. After all, your behavior is a bit cute. You act like a child solemnly taking out a candy from his pocket."
Tang Sen smiled helplessly and said, "Master Violet, I won't joke about important things."
"He is indeed weak, but his essence is no different from all the gods you know."
Violet's smile faded slightly: "Are you serious?"
"You will see it, Master Violet." Tang Sen walked up to Cory Busso, raised his hand, and the green light lit up.
The dissociation technique decomposed Corybuso's body without any hindrance, leaving only a divine light in place.
Violet was stunned.
"This must be the first time you have seen divinity with your own eyes, right? Master Ziluolan." Tang Sen waved, and the trace of divinity flew over and floated in front of Violet: "Touch it, and you will be able to possess divinity and use divine power. "
"Of course, it is too weak to directly allow you to condense your divine personality and become a true god. But, it is a good starting point, isn't it?"
Violet first stared blankly at that trace of divinity, then raised her head and looked at Tang Sen.
"No joke?"
"no."
"Is this really divinity?"
"Absolutely true."
Violet took a deep breath.
"Mr. Tang, this is really a surprise."
She raised her hand, but stopped when she was about to touch the divinity: "I like your little gift very much, but, Mr. Tang, what is the price?"
Tang Sen's smile brightened and he said, "Actually, if you absorbed it directly, there is no way I can take it out again."
"Besides, this is your territory——"
"Don't think of me as one of those chaotic and evil guys." Violet said angrily: "At the very least, I am still willing to follow certain orders. For example, if you want to gain, you have to pay."
"So, tell me the price of obtaining this trace of divinity. The value of this thing has far exceeded the bond between us because of Cuixi."
