"Whether I succeed in the end or not, it is my choice. Now tell me, it is better to have a goal that is proven to be possible, even if it is difficult, than not being able to find a goal in the future!" Ai Wen was touched in his heart. This old man seemed to be a nice guy. Unfortunately, Ai Wen's goal was not to be promoted to the vague high-level demon, so he still acted like a passionate young man who didn't listen at all. With a look of helplessness that said, "I've already advised you, it's up to you whether you listen or not." Bard Baal pondered for a moment and said, "Well, if you insist, then I'll tell you, but I have to remind you. In addition to your own qualifications for promotion to a high-level demon, it is said that you also need special conditions and venues. After the great catastrophe at the end of the ancient holy war, all high-level demons and super-level professionals of other races died. You It is unlikely that a complete promotion method will be found in the future. "All the high-level demons are dead?" Aiwen looked shocked. He also knew something about the so-called catastrophe. It was said that it was during this catastrophe. , the residents of the underground world seemed to have been turned upside down, falling from the surface into the underground, with countless casualties. The number of intelligent creatures in the entire world dropped sharply to less than one million, and they have not yet recovered. However, he was not surprised by this tragedy that happened in the great catastrophe. Compared with the countless races that were exterminated because of this, high-level demons were just a small number that could not even be called a drop in the bucket. But if all high-level demons If they are all really dead, then what happened to the Fire Demon Nodra in him. "There's no need to be so surprised, isn't this matter spread throughout the Endless Cave a long time ago?" Old Barr looked at Ivan with interest. "No, I just I just think it's just a rumor. After all, we all have witnessed how powerful the intermediate demons are. The high-level demons are much more powerful than them How could other super-level professionals all die Countless weak creatures have survived, and of them there will always be a few who will survive, at most they will be seriously injured and fall into deep sleep" Ivan explained without hesitation. "Well, from the perspective of smarter beings, this is probably the case, because this is in line with the conventions in their consciousness, but why do you believe my words so much?" Barr was very interested when he heard this. "Well, as you said, smarter beings can see this. Since you have learned all kinds of knowledge since you were a child and have lived in the underground world to this day, whether it is your knowledge of this world or your understanding of nature, They are all above me. I think if my judgment is the same as yours, it is normal. If there is a difference in judgment, it must be that I am wrong. " Regardless of whether this old man's wisdom is so powerful, he can survive difficult times. Having lived to such a long age in the underground world, his own ability is definitely not low. If Ivan said this, even if Balming knew that he was flattering him, it does not mean that he was wrong. "Haha, your words are too exaggerated, but you are right about one thing. There is an inside story behind the death of all super-level professionals. In the final analysis, it is because the nature of the world-shattering catastrophe at the end of the Holy War is too It¡¯s special. Haha, the catastrophe not only affects the environment of the entire world, but also for some special reasons, the more powerful the beings are, the harder it is to survive. Some even lose their souls Haha, I won¡¯t go into details. ¡± Baal looked deeply touched, as if he had experienced it personally, which made Alvin look puzzled. However, when he turned on his talent and checked, the feedback was only a string of yellow runes full of garbled characters. His strength was estimated to be at the same level. It is not too high between level 3 professionals. Thinking about it, there should be no other race that can live so long and live from the ancient jihad period to the present. Ivan understood that this old man must be exaggerating his own status. In the past life, some charlatans liked to speak mysteriously. Yes, people don't realize how serious it is, and they are fooled without knowing it. The old man wanted to pretend, so Alvin cooperated and put on a fascinated expression, which made Barr very satisfied. "Okay, let's get down to business. There are many kinds of high-level demons you want to know about, but if it's just limited to the fire element, then the most famous ones are the fire demon, the violent demon, and the balrog. How about it, now Do you still want to hear about them?" After a while, Barr finished his meditation and spoke again. "This of course, even if it's just a story, I just don't know which one of these three high-level demons is the strongest? Why don't you give me some advice!" Ivan finally waited until Balsun said, "Why?" May refuse. "Well, among the three demons, the demon with the most orthodox and purest use of fire power is undoubtedly the Balrog. You can listen to their story." Barr looked like a coward after hearing this, and thought for a while. Later suggested. "The Balrog? Then let it be the Balrog. Everything will be at your command, Baal!"By chance, the conversation came up? Alvin was delighted. "Then listen carefully to me. According to legend, Balrogs are demons who specialize in the power of fire. They cannot use other types of power, so their use of fire energy has reached the ultimate level. If it weren't for the fact that all high-level demons are partially immune to the fire element, then among the most powerful demons, there must be a Balrog - even so, the Balrog is still the most terrifying in the eyes of those foreign races. Demon." Ai Wen nodded in understanding when he heard this. It is said that water and fire are ruthless. The instant lethality of water is almost the same, but fire is different. Ordinary races do not have the immunity bonus of fire like high-level demons. "The Balrog's appearance is similar to that of the fire element Oh, you don't know what the fire element looks like? Well, then imagine a demon that is on fire. You can always imagine this Okay, Balrog usually With their aura restrained, except for their skin being a little whiter, they seem to be no different from ordinary demons. However, once they release all their aura, a flame field will instantly form around them, and everything within a hundred meters will become extremely hot. "At this time, just the gas they exhale, combined with their flame field, can form a tornado and kill ordinary intermediate demons. In addition, they can also instantly cast all fifth-level demons. The following fire magic, and there are almost no quantitative restrictions on the use of fire magic below the third level. In addition, depending on their strength, they can shorten the chanting time and emit magic of the sixth or even seventh level or above " "Uh, how short? This In this era, casting fifth-level magic is almost the pinnacle that a mage can achieve. How can I possibly know how long it will take to cast magic of level six or above? As for the power, it is even more powerful. It's unimaginable to me" Barr kept talking for a long time, like a character in a fairy tale. At the beginning, Alvin was fascinated by what he heard, but afterward, the more he listened, the more inexplicable he became. In the past year, Ivan has only seen Maize use two kinds of magic. One is the first-level magic fireball technique, and the other is the second-level magic fireball technique. I have never seen those so-called third-, fourth- and fifth-level magics. , not to mention the much stronger sixth and seventh level magic, but he could still imagine the power of the Balrog from these simple numbers. When he thought more deeply, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and felt that the fire in his pocket was The pebble he placed might turn into a ball of hot magma at any time and engulf him. "So, then, since the Balrog is so powerful, isn't there any powerful way to save his life? It can't really be that unfortunate and all of them will die in the catastrophe you mentioned, right?" Finally, after Barr paused, he said Taking a sip of wine to moisten his throat, Aiwen immediately asked. He must find out the true identity of the pebble in his hand. Otherwise, holding the pebble in his hand but not daring to keep it, and throwing it but not willing to throw it away, he was afraid that I will have insomnia from now on. "As for the way to save one's life from the catastrophe of the world Strictly speaking, it is not impossible. In fact, all high-level demons whose strength is close to the limit have similar ways to save one's life, that is to throw away all the strength and body. Only by peeling off a little bit of the purest soul origin and the demon essence and blood in the heart, and then sealing yourself, can you escape the disaster. After tens of millions of years, by chance, it is possible to break the seal and be reborn. " "It is said. This is the soul reincarnation technique that is only available to the most powerful group of high-level demons." Baal looked at Ivan and seemed to mean something, and then changed the topic: "But by reborn through this method, the memory of the previous life can still be retained. How many, is a question, and even apart from the name, whether it can be regarded as the original devil is also a question, so you have to understand that when I say that they are all 'dead', I am not talking nonsense. "Although Ivan is not. I understand why those demons can only survive the catastrophe by abandoning their strength and body, and even most of their souls, and I don't understand why a seemingly down-and-out bard knows this secret, but He felt guilty, so naturally he didn't dare to ask, let alone dwell too much on this issue. He could only nod his head in agreement, looking like he was yearning for it. "I see So if a demon is promoted to a high level now, will he also" Although Aiwen doesn't dare to ask questions in this area, it doesn't mean that he doesn't dare to ask other questions. He is not a fool. Hearing Baal repeatedly mention the world-shattering catastrophe and its difference from ordinary natural disasters, he naturally became concerned. But don't just release the Balrog Nodra from the seal. Nodra If he died just because of that so-called special influence, then he would be at a huge loss. "That's not true. So many years have passed since the world-ending catastrophe, and the residual impact on the world has been very small. If you are promoted to a high-level demon now, at most, the strength you can exert will be limited, but there will be no life-threatening consequences. Danger - as long as you can really succeed in promotion, you will definitely become the strongest demon in the world."Er looked at him teasingly. "Haha This, is it so difficult? It seems that I really have to think about it in the long term." Ai Wen said with a sad smile. "The prodigal son can never be replaced by gold. His statement made Barr seem very pleased, and he finally saved another lost boy, well, although he didn't seem to give up completely. I continued to listen to the story of Bal in the jihad for a while, and I had already got the news of the news she wanted, and it was already late to leave. Watching Ivan's leaving figure, Old Barr narrowed his eyes, took a sip of wine comfortably, and after a long time suddenly murmured in a low voice: "The Balrog What an interesting little guy"
