Arcane Lord

"If I had purchased [Sacred Covenant of Resurrection] before, I might not have been able to answer this question, but now, I can tell you clearly that the answer is actually very simple -"

At this point, Cliff paused deliberately, which really made Sha Duo a little upset, but fortunately Cliff didn't do any tricks like "I'll tell you when I come back from the Ruins of Dreams".

After realizing that Xia Duo was quite concerned about this issue, he immediately told the truth:

"If the death priest is unwilling to pay the divine favor, then the buyer can provide the divine favor he possesses!"

That's it?

Xia Duo did not expect such a result, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible. Resurrection requires the consumption of divine grace, so who is not consumption?

But compared to the priests who follow and serve the Lord of Death all their lives, how much divine grace can buyers with their own businesses get?

Just like Xia Duo, he can obtain the Lord of Death’s divine grace mainly by formulating laws related to tombs and improving the order of death, or by attacking illegal undead creatures (without the permission of the Lord of Death), clearing negative energy, etc. .

But if you want to accumulate the divine grace needed for the [Sacred Deed of Resurrection] in this way, you really don’t know how long it will take!

The most important thing is that there is no quantitative standard for how much divine grace you can get by doing these things. It is all decided by the Lord of Death.

Maybe you can kill an undead creature at random, or eliminate an undead crisis, and that's enough. Maybe you can kill all the undead creatures in the main plane, and you won't be able to save enough divine grace for resurrection.

This is what dampens people's enthusiasm the most. Unlike magic, what is supposed to be is what it is, and there will always be a clear implementation process.

Cliff can accumulate the divine grace of resurrection, but he is also a priest of the Lord of Radiance, which is almost equivalent to cheating. Combined with what Cliff mentioned before, his study of the resurrection of the dead is a divine grace (of the Lord of Radiance).

Shado speculated that perhaps Cliff's resurrected (Lord of Death) grace was simply a deal between gods and gods, completely predetermined!

"Is it possible that Cliff is the biological son of the Lord of Glory?"

Shado immediately thought of the resurrection case of the Son of Yahweh on Earth. Looking at Cliff's resurrection three days after his death, it really seemed to have a bit of an ordained meaning in it.

"Can't think, can't think!"

Sha Duo decisively gave up this too dangerous idea, and he originally wanted to ask Cliff about the death and resurrection process, but in the end he was unable to say it.

"I understand, thank you Sir Cliff for your guidance."

Afterwards, Xia Duo changed the subject and said: "As for the exploration of the Dream Ruins, when are you going to set off again?"

"There are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with in Sevington and the territory, but we will definitely set off this month!" Cliff gave an approximate time and said at the same time:

"I think the last time we encountered indigenous hunters in the star realm, we probably set out at the wrong time. The prophecy mentioned that the power of death can only be obtained during the 'season of prosperity', so we left early."

In Netheril, if the "prosperous blooming season" refers to a specific month, it usually refers to June, but if it does not refer to a specific month, it undoubtedly refers to the time when flowers bloom the most in spring and summer.

The latter is usually closely related to climate and does not have a fixed time point or period. It may be earlier than June, may be in mid-June, or may be later than June.

The last time Shado and Cliff went to the Star Boundary was in the last few days of May. The temperature had just warmed up at that time. There might be flowers that bloomed early, but they were definitely not in full bloom.

That failure, if we insist on using prophecy to explain it, maybe it was because it was too early, it was not June, and there was no "prosperity and blooming".

Sha Duo thought about it and felt that Cliff's speculation might have some truth. The key was that he couldn't convince Cliff not to believe the prophecy.

So I could only follow the other party's words and said: "In this case, I will wait for your news in the southern border. I hope I can successfully reach the Ruins of Dreams this time!"

"We will definitely arrive!" Cliff's eyes were full of confidence, not only because of his own prediction, but also because -

"Your Excellency Thorn, the Eternal Holy Spirit, is currently recovering in the main plane. He has promised me that he will still take us to the Ruins of Dreams this time.

"But when we get to the Ruins of Dreams, everything will depend on Lord Shado!"

"Sir Cliff, please rest assured that I will definitely do my best to find the 'power of death' in the prophecy!"

If it is confirmed that there are remnants of [Projection Plane Arcane Empire] in the Ruins of Dreams, then Shado will be very confident in finding the content related to the resurrection spell.

After all, when he entered this time, he was different from the last time when he was just an ordinary high-level mage. When a senior arcanist entered, it was not difficult to get access to resurrection spells as long as he showed enough abilities and achievements.

The specific situation will not be known until entering the projection plane, but Xia Duo already has some ideas about his plans after entering.

…

While talking, the luxurious lunch that Xia Duo ordered was delivered to him, and Cliff stopped talking at the right time. The two of them finished their lunch quietly and then left.

Back at the Alfa Federation, Shado met Derrick at the door of the library who was about to return to his temporary residence. In addition to Derrick, he also had Lord Harlan, whom he had just contacted.

However, Lord Harlan at this moment did not look like the desperate and tragic gambler Sha Duo had seen before. Instead, the corners of his mouth were raised and his eyebrows were raised, as if he had picked up a hundred demon-slaying arrows on the roadside.

Shado had no intention of prying at first, but Lord Harlan himself took the initiative to mention it - "Lord Shado, did you know? The Great Arcanist Cliff is not dead. He has the Holy Covenant of Resurrection and has now been resurrected!"

"Oh? Really?" Xia Duo was thoughtful.

He and Cliff went to the star realm together, and then something happened to Cliff. This incident was not a good thing at all. Logically speaking, Lord Harlan would not take the initiative to mention it in front of him.

But now that the other party suddenly mentioned this matter, it was difficult for Sha Duo not to associate him with Cliff.

With such a connection, it really makes sense. Previously, Lord Harlan thought that his great supporter Cliff was dead, and some support might be gone, so he made a desperate attempt to win, or he might be caught by the already negotiated order. I was tied up and had to gamble.

But now that Cliff is not dead, there is no need to go all out.

Xia Duo thought to himself, does the other party still want to cancel the signed contract for the Demon Slaying Amulet OEM contract? Or maybe there are changes in the deal with the Demon-Slaying Arrows at Harlanside Manor?

But the fact is-

"I have an old relationship with one of Lord Cliff's students, and I obtained some orders from him. I would like to ask the Tower of Time if it can accept more OEM orders."
