Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 60 Demigod's Bet

The summoning ceremony has begun.

The first is the enlightenment spell. This time, Xing Tianyu clearly felt that the spiritual power required to activate Ignaz's circle was far higher than that of the previous Graham's circle. The three of them chanted for more than ten minutes. It was only when the runes on the huge magic circle were all lit up that the incantation of the spirit was revealed. Although spiritual power is inherently difficult to detect, the extraction of so much spiritual power at one time still made the three of them They all felt very weak, especially Xing Tianyu, as a summoner, he could feel a kind of emptiness in his body as if he was about to be drained, a feeling of incomparable burnout, which came to his mind involuntarily.

Xing Tianyu sighed in his heart, even if it was strengthened with the activated blood, it was still a bit reluctant to summon a demigod—even a weaker father's blood demigod.

Suppressing that feeling of weakness, Xing Tianyu recited the spell to summon Baros.

【A powerful existence from Atlantis】

[The blood of the gods, the outstanding craftsman, the greedy gambler, the extraordinary fantasy creature]

【I welcome you with kindness, I praise you with prayers, and I ask you for help in difficulties】

[In the name of the contract signed between you and my ethnic group and the ancient times]

【I pray that you come to this world】.

As Xing Tianyu recited the summoning spell, a spot of light suddenly appeared in the center of the Ignaz circle, and all the energy circulating in the circle immediately condensed towards that spot, and the spot became bigger and bigger , gradually turned into a ball of light, the ball of light was constantly rotating, and an energy vortex soon appeared, which was completely different from the opening of a crack before, the vortex frantically absorbed the energy in the surrounding air, this It also made the three of them feel weaker and weaker. Ning Wenrui even half-kneeled on the ground. Xing Tianyu's hands holding the Book of Other Worlds kept trembling, as if he was about to fall down at any time. He gritted his teeth and persisted. , Qin Ming said in his heart, Qin Ming, I will go all out to save him, if I can't do it this time, I will be benevolent, and then don't blame me.

Finally, the vortex calmed down, and in the vortex, a passage leading to a completely unknown world appeared.

A tall and straight figure came out slowly from the passage. He looked almost indistinguishable from a human being. He was wearing a gorgeous golden robe and holding a book in his hand. He looked like a human scholar. A pair of golden ram horns on his head made him look a bit magical.

His face looked very handsome, with a peaceful expression, looking at the smiles on the faces of the three, as if the three were old friends he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Good morning, all summoners, I am Baros, the son of Bareliak, the god of craftsmen—I am willing to serve you."

Thank goodness it's finally out!Xing Tianyu saw Barros walking out, and immediately relaxed his body. The transmission channel finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the energy collapsed rapidly, turning into an energy ball in the blink of an eye. The energy ball turned into a point, and then disappeared suddenly Gone, even the runes on the summoning circle were completely dimmed.

All three of them were panting heavily, as if they had been holding their breath for a long time. Baros seemed to sense the weakness of the three of them, so he waited patiently for a while until all three of them had recovered a bit, and then asked politely : "Then may I ask you to call me here, what can I do for you?" Baros said with a smile, just like a waiter waiting for the master's order. This kind of gentle attitude made the three of them feel relieved involuntarily. It seems that this demigod is really easy to talk to.

"Well, Barros, right? First of all, thank you for accepting our call. The thing is, we need your help to repair something. If possible, help lift a curse by the way."

Xing Tianyu said, pointing to the broken statue of Qin Ming placed next to the summoning circle.The three of them had already dusted the statue with a layer of flour for identification. It was white, and with the severed head and arms, it looked very miserable.

Nabaros glanced at the statue, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He walked over slowly and turned around the stone statue, "Is it the curse of petrification? Uh, and it was broken, oops, you guys are really too careless. If it's just the curse of petrification, it's not very It's hard to get rid of, but now you broke the statue, so it's a little troublesome."

None of the three spoke, this matter is indeed a bit embarrassing, and on the other hand, Xing Tianyu vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be trying to manipulate them, and from the other party's tone, he felt that the other party seemed to have a solution, because Barros only said that it was a bit troublesome , but didn't say it couldn't be done.

Sure enough, Nabaros smiled slightly, "But this is not too difficult for me. I can repair the statue, remove the curse on your friend, and bring your friend back to life."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but Xing Tianyu was not so optimistic. It is impossible for the other party not to pay.

Sure enough, Baros changed his voice, "However, to repair such a statue and revive him, I need to consume a lot of power and resources, so what are the respected summoners going to use to pay the bill?"

"We have an invisibility cloak." Xiao Zhen said, ignoring Ning Wenrui's resentful gaze, he pulled the invisibility cloak out of the iron box.

Shake it off and show Barros.

Burrows nodded noncommittally, "Well, it's an interesting little thing, but it's not of much value to me. I think I might need something more practical."

Xiao Zhen was a little bit embarrassed, "But we don't have any valuable things other than this, why don't we take you an IPAD?"

Nabaros was not interested in Xiao Zhen's IPAD, "This kind of thing can't work in our world, so please forgive me for not accepting it. Besides, it's not that you don't have more valuable things. In fact, I have already thought about it." paid."

"What is that?" Xing Tianyu asked in a deep voice.

"Your lifespan." Baros blinked and said.

"Life?" Ning Wenrui asked hostilely.

"That's right," Barros explained with a smile, "Your friend looks very young, let's assume that he still has 60 years to live, so if I revive him, it means I gave him 60 years of life, and as a reward, you only need to give me 60 years of life. If there are three people, each of you can give me 20 years of life. What do you think?"

Xing Tianyu couldn't believe it, "Can this life be given?"

"Oh, of course, for us demigods, lifespan is like currency."

"But can't you live forever?"

"No, no, longevity is possible, but immortality is impossible. Even the gods cannot avoid death, let alone us demigods. I have used up more than half of my lifespan. It can be said that my life is not long, so If there is a chance to gain some life to make up for it, I would be more than happy."

"Then how much life do you have left?"

"Hehe, not much, there are only more than 3000 years left."

(Damn, the life span of more than 3000 years is not long. Do you want to act like this, your sister?) Xing Tianyu couldn't help complaining in his heart, but Xing Tianyu knew that it was meaningless to say this, and the other party would definitely not work in vain of.

But Xing Tianyu couldn't accept that it would take 20 years of his life to treat Qin Ming. After all, he and Qin Ming were just friends. As Ning Wenrui said, it's okay to lend him money, and it's okay to help him fight. , but paying 20 years of life for an ordinary friend is a bit ridiculous.

"No, no matter what you think, I will never lose 20 years of my life just to save Qin Ming." Ning Wenrui was the first to shout.

But this time even Xiao Zhen didn't say anything wrong with Ning Wenrui, even he couldn't accept such a thing.

Xing Tianyu saw the reaction of the two, but shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't pay such a price, is there any other choice?"

"Well, that's it." Baros didn't think about it, and thought for a while, "It's not that there is no other way, how about this, let's take a gamble, if you win, I will resurrect you for free friends, but if you lose, I can still resurrect your friends, but each of you will give me 40 years of life."

This—Xing Tianyu said in his heart, darling, this is not as good as the one last time, 40 years of life, he is now in his 20s, and if he removes 40 years, wouldn't he be an old man in his 60s?Then there are still a few years left to live.

This time, he didn't even look at his two companions, and shook his head directly: "No, we are only mortals, but you are a demigod. We bet with you, and there is no way to win. This is not as good as the previous price."

Barros still had a smile on his face, and nodded very seriously, "It's not unreasonable to say this. If it's a normal bet, it's indeed a bit invincible. Why don't you do it this way? Each of you three You can challenge me once, and you can choose the way you want to bet, but it must be fair, and as long as one of you wins me, then you will win, how about it, this is fair enough, after all, you have three chances Yes, as long as you win me once, you will win."

This——Xing Tianyu couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. This seems to be a good deal. They have three chances to win, and they can choose their own betting methods. This advantage is too great. The three of them can even choose Using computer games to compare, even if Baros is a demigod, he can't learn how to play computer games without a teacher, but is it really wise to bet against a demigod?It's probably not without reason that Barros made the bet so confidently.

When Xing Tianyu felt a tangle in his heart, Xiao Zhen over there said loudly: "We bet!"

Xing Tianyu glanced at Xiao Zhen, but the other party had a confident face, (Don't worry, I will definitely win this time!) Xiao Zhen's eyes seemed to reveal such meaning.

Ning Wenrui had a troubled expression on his face, but when he put his hand into his coat pocket, a confident smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Go bet, Lao Xing, if you can choose to bet against each other, I will I think we still have a chance of winning.”

Xing Tianyu said to himself, why are these two guys so confident?

But since even the most unacceptable Ning Wenrui said that, it seems that he really has no choice, so he nodded slightly, "Then it's a deal."
