Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2505 Refusal of Treatment
Savile and Iolum were saying this over there, and Xia Duo finally "woke up" to Nya's affectionate calls.

Because he was worried that Niya's acting skills were not good enough, he just arranged for Nya to try not to talk. Just now Nya's performance was not bad, but now that he wakes up, there will inevitably be a risk of revealing his secrets.

So, when Xia Duo woke up, he coughed up a mouthful of blood forcefully and pulled out a puddle of blood froth in mid-air. This was something he had not discussed with Niya beforehand, and this body had been sealed in Hengchun Square. For a moment, I really thought that something happened to him, and immediately cried out nervously, this time the voice was much more emotional than when he just came:
"Xia Duo, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"I, I'm fine, it's just that the blood stagnated in my chest before, it's much more comfortable to spit it out. Where are you all, where is the assassin? Have you caught it?"

In Xia Duo's "Victim Character Design", although the assassin launched a fatal blow at the last moment before the seal, if someone can make a timely move, they can still intercept certain information.

At this time, Xia Duo asked the assassin if he had caught it. In fact, he was asking if he had any clues about the assassin and found out the identity of the assassin. Regarding this question, Niya finally entered the silence of the established procedure.

Just as Saville was about to speak, Iolum took the initiative to stand up and explain a few words. As long as the assassin's clues have been found and it is related to the demons, let Shaduo not worry. This matter was investigated to the end.

Xia Duo relaxed after listening, and then fell into a coma naturally. Seeing this, Nya immediately sobbed obediently. Iolum stepped forward to check, and then told Nya, Saville and Ba Digard, Horn:
"Xia Duo's soul breath is still very weak, and it's not without cost to think that this kind of backup is not free. The restoration ceremony at Severton is ready, why don't we let them come here now?"

Seeing that Xia Duo woke up, Badigal actually didn't want to carry out the recovery ceremony anymore. The preparations for the ceremony and the completion of the ceremony required a completely different price for the two progresses.

Not to mention anything else, the life of Archbishop Benedictus who came here voluntarily is about to end. It is the grace and holy power that keep him in his current state. Once the grace and holy power are consumed too much, perhaps the end of the ceremony will be The passing of this venerable elder.

In addition, there is Carter, the death priest. As far as he knows, Xia Duo should not have bought the [Sacrifice of Resurrection]. Under such circumstances, the cost of forcibly resurrecting or restoring the soul is much higher than normal.

If you can, just use conventional means to maintain it.

Badigal or the Seven Towers, although they don't want Xia Duo to die, they are not kind enough to hope that Xia Duo can recover perfectly. A crippled Xia Duo may be more in their interest.

Therefore, Badigal said with a look of embarrassment: "Benedictus Archbishop and Priest Carter came here for the resurrection of Xia Duo. Now that they have come alive, it may be a bit inappropriate to let them come over. If it is only for recovery, it is better Send Shaduo to the great temple in Severton, where the environment is conducive to the recovery of souls."

Hearing this, not only Iolum and Savile, who were obviously biased toward Shadow, frowned, but even Horn, the Seven Towers' own man, was a little displeased.

This is all ready for the recovery ceremony. Even if the resurrection is not needed, the ceremony itself has a powerful recovery effect. It is a bit embarrassing to give up suddenly after it has been completed.

But Horn can also understand Badigal's thoughts. Recently, Xia Duo has been too active in Severton, stealing the limelight from the Seven Towers. Although he is in trouble now, life itself is temporarily safe, so the suppression will follow. here.

But on the other hand, Horn never thought of being the speaker of the Seven Towers himself. There is a big gap between the Kiran High Tower and the other six forces in the Seven Towers. field.

For a long time, Zilan High Tower's status in the Seven Towers is not to say that it is a marginal person, at least it can't go to the mainstream. It was only because it followed the princess closely in the past that it seemed more active, and now it is the norm.

But Horn is not without pursuit at all. The bloodline sequencing project is the big killer he uses to overtake and return to the mainstream. Moreover, the era of the new covenant is coming, and the relationship between the seven towers can no longer be as harmonious as it used to be.

The most obvious reason is the proliferation of parliamentary power. The Seven Towers can no longer gain external supernormal advantages through internal consensus. Each of the Seven Towers needs to win over other great arcanists and even lords as much as possible.

In this case, the competition between the seven towers has become stronger, and even if they finally get the speaker's seat, it is not as great as the benefits brought by the competition.

The reason why Horn is dissatisfied with Badigal's behavior is undoubtedly that he has regarded Xia Duo as a possible partner for cooperation in the future. Although the closeness of this cooperation relationship will not exceed the internal relationship of the Seven Towers in the past, it is still different from the new one. Compared with the relationship between the seven towers in the covenant era, it may not be much inferior.

And not only Xia Duo, but also potential collaborators from the three planes of Tianshui and the main plane, but among all the collaborators, Xia Duo, who has a special bloodline, is almost a natural ally of Kiran Tower.

In this case, if you don't know how to fight for it, then Horn, the master of the Kiran Tower, will be too incompetent.

It's just that Horn's opinion has not been finished yet, but Niya, Xia Duo's wife, took the initiative to express her rejection, because Niya knew Xia Duo's intentions very well, and she was unwilling to have too much contact with the priest under such circumstances.

As for going to the Great Temple to recuperate, that's even more impossible.

"Does Lord Xiaduo also think that accepting the healing of the holy power will cut off his path to ascension?" Horn asked curiously.

In fact, Netheril already had a clear answer to this question. Before the princess ascended to the gods, she had introduced many times of holy power healing, but she still succeeded in ascending to the gods.

For this kind of problem, as long as a counter-example is enough to prove its fallacy.

People who generally think that receiving holy power healing will cut off their path to godhood are only those who are extremely confident in magic and extremely conceited of themselves. They don't really think that this behavior will cut off their path to godhood , but they are too extreme and want to compete with the gods everywhere.

The most typical one is Vader. His most widely circulated sentence in Netheril is "God is but a stronger arcanist". After Vader said this sentence, many people in Netheril also used it. This sentence to encourage yourself.

But Vader is the only one who really refuses any holy power healing or other effects.

Horn knew that Xiaduo and Vader had gotten closer recently, and it would be too worthless if he was influenced by Vader to reject the holy power. People in the divine ceremony more or less sensed the holy power of the princess, but Xia Duo, a key participant, has never been there. Perhaps the intention to refuse has appeared long ago.
