Chapter 477

"Lifespan." Anxi Wodas said in a low voice with a complex expression, "The lifespan of a holy soul wizard is actually limited, and it cannot be nearly immortal like a god."

Ren suddenly realized.

All this time, he had ignored the message, but it wasn't his fault. Holy soul wizards can live for a long time, very long, so long that no holy soul wizard has died so far. This makes people have an illusion that holy soul wizards are immortal, and it is almost becoming common sense.

Master Ogulev is the most famous example. As the first holy soul wizard in history, he lived for more than two thousand years, the same life as the empire.

Wren has read many history books about the history of Arrenus, including the history before the New Era.

These history books mention the overlords who once ruled the world, such as giant dragons and giants, elves, dwarves, etc., and those above the holy rank have a particularly long life span, and can live for dozens of centuries.

Especially the great mages of the elves are most often compared with the holy soul wizards.

In the third era, many elf archmages have been active for thousands of years. The most famous ones lived from the beginning of the era to the end of the era. There are even archmages who have survived the darkness for thousands of years and are still alive and alive Thousands of years!

These long-sighted archmages misled Ren, making him think that holy soul wizards could live for so long.

"Teacher, what is the lifespan of a holy soul wizard?"

"About 2,000 years." Anse Wodos was not too sure, "The lifespan of a wizard varies from person to person, with different experiences and different degrees of soul transformation, all of which will affect the length of lifespan."

"So short!"

Ren's face was stunned, this was much shorter than he expected.

Legendary high-level wizards can live to nearly a thousand years. Logically speaking, it is so difficult to be promoted to a holy soul wizard. How to say, the life span will be doubled, and it will be extended to three or four thousand years. Those elf wizards can live for tens of thousands of years Woolen cloth!

"This is caused by the blood soul curse."

Anse Wodos explained with a bitter face: "The lifespan of a transcendent mainly depends on two factors. One is that the body can maintain vitality, and the other is that the strength of the soul does not decline."

"The innate lifespan of our human beings is not as good as other races, and the soul was tortured by the blood soul curse when it was the weakest. The foundation is weak. Even after the soul grows stronger again and again, and even the curse is lifted, the essence of the soul is still flawed and decays. Faster, more difficult to resist the erosion of the long river of time."

"Holy soul wizards have many ways to keep their bodies alive, but there is no particularly good way to deal with the decline of their souls."

"Based on the condition of my own soul, two thousand years is almost the limit." Anxi Wodas looked very relaxed and indifferent when talking about his life span.

Ren watched quietly. The teacher's appearance only seemed to be old, but his body was much better than most people, comparable to a legendary melee superhuman. He remembered that the teacher was born in 1242 of the new calendar, and was promoted to a holy soul wizard in 1334. Now it is 2530 of the new calendar, and he can live at least another 700 years, which is still far from the deadline!

The teacher doesn't have to worry about lifespan yet, however, Master Ogulevi is different.

No one knows exactly how old Master Ogulev is, but everyone has heard the rumor that Master Ogulev was born before the establishment of the empire. When he was young, he had a deep contact with Emperor Alfa and witnessed it with his own eyes. Witness all the historical events of the empire so far.

And the empire was established in the 221st year of the new calendar, that is to say, the age of this "first wizard" is at least 2300 years old, or even older!

This has exceeded the upper limit of the lifespan of the holy soul wizard.

Ren searched in the mobile phone library, but failed to find the time of birth of Master Ogulevi, and asked curiously: "Teacher, how old is Master Ogulevi?"

"This may only be clear to him."

Anxi Wodas shook his head, and replied with some hesitation: "According to my speculation, he may have been born around 160 in the new calendar."

"160 years!"

Ren made a quick calculation and said in surprise: "Master Ogulev is already 2370 years old. How did he do it?"

Before Anxi Wodas could answer, he thought of another person, the Great Sage Congerald.

The second oldest holy soul wizard in the Supreme Council, the time of birth is clearly recorded. He was born in 265 of the new calendar, about a hundred years later than Master Ogulevi. His age also exceeded the lifespan limit of two thousand years.

The other holy soul wizards in the Supreme Council are all under two thousand years old, and the youngest black-robed Duke Tuzre is not even two hundred years old.

"And the Great Sage Congerald..." Ren frowned.

"Don't make wild guesses," Anse Wodoss waved his hand, "The great sage has developed a life-prolonging potion that cooperates with the structural transformation of the body to prolong his own life, but the materials are very precious and rare, and other materials are needed. The plane can only be obtained, and only he can use it."

Ren suddenly realized that the great sage Congerald was worthy of being the greatest alchemist in the empire, and he was able to refine life-extending potions.

If this potion can be used by others, it will definitely be the most expensive potion in the world!

"What about Master Ogulev?" he asked.

Anxi Wodas was silent for a few seconds, "This is the secret I want to tell. In order to live longer, he invented a ten-ring spell called 'Ogulevi's Longevity'. Every time he casts a spell on himself Blessing, you can extend your lifespan by about a hundred years, and it can be superimposed infinitely."

"This..." Ren was dumbfounded.

Ten ring spells!

One time can prolong life for a hundred years, and it can be superimposed infinitely. This spell is absolutely worthy of its name. It is enough to make the holy soul wizard live forever and gain unlimited life span!

As a mortal, Master Ogulev can invent such a great spell, and his magical talent and strength are absolutely astonishing.

Then Ren felt something was wrong again.

If this is the case, why did Master Ogulev come up with so many conspiracies? There must be some kind of drawback in this longevity technique.

Sure enough, Anxi Wodas continued: "Although the longevity technique is good, it requires a holy soul-level creature as the casting material, and it must be alive, including the soul and body. Both are indispensable. The casting process is long and complicated, and it is difficult. Extremely high, even a holy soul wizard cannot guarantee 100% success in casting spells."

Ren was taken aback.

Holy soul-level spell-casting materials, which means that every hundred years, Master Ogulev will capture alive a creature above level 20.

If the longevity spell fails, more casting materials need to be captured alive.

Any creature above level 20 is not easy to mess with.

Human superhumans may be the weakest. Those holy-level species, including all kinds of monsters, spirits, dragons, demons and even angels, have no levels, but their souls are all holy-level, and their lifespan is much longer than that of humans. The strength has grown over the long years. For holy soul wizards, it may not be difficult to kill them, but it is not easy to capture them alive.

Moreover, holy-level creatures are generally not independent individuals, and are more or less related to gods. They are either the minions of the evil gods of the abyss, or there are powerful groups behind them.

But with Master Ogulev's strength, it shouldn't be that difficult, at least not too difficult.

Ren was a little puzzled.

Seeing his doubts, Anxi Wo Daosi said: "It's actually very difficult. One is that the failure rate of the longevity technique is too high, and it takes two to three times to succeed once; the second is that the longevity technique has a fatal flaw, which makes Ogule Wei dare not act rashly."

"What defect?" Ren asked in surprise.

"Longevity cannot be constant. It is a continuous spell, but it is only effective for a very long time, up to a hundred years." Anse Wodoss smiled and pointed to Ren's head, "Based on your magic knowledge Think about it, where is the risk?"

Almost without thinking, Ren blurted out, "The longevity spell can be lifted!"

The fixed spell will drop the number of rings, as many as three rings, and as few as one ring, even if the best result is only one ring, the longevity spell will be invalid. Moreover, the higher the number of rings, the more difficult it is to be constant. It is almost impossible for ten-ring spells to be constant. Perhaps only the goddess of magic can do it.

As for persistent spells, no matter how high the number of rings is, there will be times when they fail.

"That's right, your thinking is fast." Anse Wodos praised, and then explained: "All spells may be cracked and eliminated, and the longevity spell is no exception." He shook his head and sighed: "Once the longevity spell fails, , the body and soul will return to the state of the real age, you can imagine the consequences."

Ren could indeed imagine that he must have died suddenly on the spot.

And it's the kind of sudden death that destroys the body, even the soul will dissipate, because the soul maintained by the spell should have perished long ago.

In this way, the longevity technique became a sudden death technique.

Allenus has a very famous spell called "Dispel Magic". Although its initial ring number is as high as five rings, and it is a very rare transcendent element, among wizards and mages above legendary, many people Mastered.

Especially for the wizards of the Nether faction, in their concept of casting spells, "dispelling magic" is almost an indispensable spell.

Many combat methods require the use of "disarming magic".

There are even some Netherist wizards who build their own combat mode around "dispelling magic". They strip away the opponent's protective spells and magic items as soon as they make a move, and then add an instant death spell, or a ring number and High spells, simply and neatly kill the enemy.

If Master Ogulev was hit by the "dispelling magic", if he failed to save himself, he would die instantly.

He is the founder of Nether Floating Void City, but he is most afraid of Nether School wizards. I have to say, what a big irony!

Not only that, the "anti-magic force field" also has a similar effect.

There are also dead magic areas, magic absorption, forbidden magic rune circles, etc. Ren alone knows no less than ten methods that can eliminate spells, all of which can invalidate the longevity spell, leading to the sudden death of Master Oglevi on the spot .

I believe that there are not a few places like this in Netherpai Empty City.

Master Ogulev may not even dare to walk around in his own floating city, let alone go out to take risks and fight with others.

If this fatal weakness is grasped by the enemy, it will be too miserable.

Ren couldn't help but sighed and shook his head, thinking of a detail, "Teacher, hasn't Master Ogulevi been seen in public for a long time?"

"Yes." Anse Wodos nodded, "I haven't seen his real body since more than four hundred years ago. Every time the Supreme Council discusses things, he only projects an image, and when he needs to take action, he will Let his students do it for him, or send out his clone."

"No one knows where his real body is."

Anxi Wodas thought back for a few seconds, "Combined with this incident, I even suspect that he is no longer in the empire."

"Will it be in the New World?" Ryan guessed.

"possible."

Anse Woldas fell silent.

The Liches of the Dead Knot Seal are hidden in the New World, and there is another minion organization of the Lord of the Dead, and the Scourge is also entrenched on the northern ice sheet of the New World. If Master Ogulevi is hiding in the New World, after hundreds of years, I don't know how many conspiracies he has come up with.

Ren sighed secretly.

In order to survive, Master Ogulewei is definitely not willing to be subject to the "Longevity Technique". The first holy soul wizard in the history of mankind has to be timid and hide his head and show his tail. This kind of feeling must be uncomfortable. Moreover, the casting materials for the longevity technique are not easy to find.

If you want to live longer without relying on longevity, you must either become a god or transform yourself into a lich.

Conferring gods can be met but not sought, and the difficulty is even greater.

Transforming into a lich is very simple, as long as you turn to the Lord of the Dead. Such a price is not insignificant, but also crazy. Once the matter is exposed, the countless glory and fame in his lifetime will disappear in smoke.

No matter how high the previous prestige was, the degree of being reviled was just as ruthless.

Ren didn't know what Ogulev was thinking, and he couldn't guess whether he had become a lich now, but what Ogulev did to Wezeland, as well as the damage caused and The threat is real.

If this news spreads, one can imagine the shock it will cause in the empire.

"Teacher, what should we do?" Ren asked.

Anse Wodos supported his forehead, lost in thought, and didn't reply for a long time. Ren has never seen the teacher like this before, and knows that this may be the most difficult decision in the teacher's life.

In a quarter of an hour.

Anxi Wodas finally made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "These are all our guesses, and we are still not sure whether he has really fallen. Before there is no real evidence, we can't act rashly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Ren nodded silently, and he thought the same.

"The first thing to do is to confirm the current situation of Master Ogulev." Anxi Wodas stood up, "At least you have to see his real body with your own eyes before you can make a judgment."

"Leave this matter to me, and you don't need to worry about it."

"All investigations must be done in secret, let alone disclosed to anyone, so as not to alarm him." Anxi Wodas said seriously.

"I understand, teacher."

Ren nodded solemnly. A holy soul wizard of unknown level would not dare to provoke him even if he had ten guts. The farther away he was, the better.
