Chapter 385
Dark Alliance
"Mr. Aatrox, I sincerely invite you to join our Dark Alliance. Initially, you will be assigned to serve as my black priest. When you reach the level of ninth-level mage in the future, you can directly take over my position."
A middle-aged man covered in a black robe stared at Zhou Xian earnestly with a burning gaze, his tone full of sincerity. Behind him, several people also dressed in black robes, each of them stood straight like a pine tree, with a solemn expression, exuding a majestic aura that should not be underestimated.
Zhou Xian slowly raised his head and glanced at a few people. In the past few days, the forces that came to win him over were countless. There were people from the four great empires, envoys from the Holy See of Light, and now, even people from the Dark Alliance showed up here.
Zhou Xian couldn't help but secretly gasp, and sighed in his heart that these guys were really daring. You know, this place is the territory of the Holy Alliance, and the Dark Alliance and the Holy Alliance have always been enemies, and they dared to come here so blatantly.
"Sorry, I don't plan to..." Zhou Xian was about to refuse, but an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Yes, hasn't he always been troubled by the lack of dark magic training methods? Now, the people of the Dark Alliance took the initiative to come to his door. If he didn't take the opportunity to "get something for free", it would be unreasonable. He always felt sorry for their "sincerity" that came all the way from afar.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xian's expression changed instantly, revealing an innocent look on his face. He opened his curious eyes and stared at the people who came to recruit him. His tone was full of doubts: "Ah, you are from the Dark Alliance. Several uncles who came a few days ago gave me a lot of magic books. They also said that the magic of the Dark Alliance is not worth mentioning compared to theirs."
"This is complete nonsense! Darkness is the eternal power! The dark magic of our Dark Alliance is the most powerful in the world! Their so-called magic is not even worthy of carrying our shoes! Aatrox, don't listen to the nonsense of those hypocritical people!"
The person who was speaking was very emotional, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of anger, as if those who slandered dark magic were standing right in front of him.
Seeing that Zhou Xian still had some hesitation on his face and did not fully believe it, the leader could not help but frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly waved his hand with a quick movement. Then, he took out a book from his space ring in an instant, strode forward, and handed it to Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian took the book and was instantly attracted by the ancient and mysterious patterns on the cover. He couldn't wait to open it. As he turned the pages, his eyes lit up and his face was full of surprise. He was very excited but pretended to be calm. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, it seems to have some tricks." He was secretly happy that he had not missed this opportunity to get something for free. This dark magic secret book was more valuable than he had imagined.
"What do you think, Mr. Aatrox? The dark magic of our Dark Alliance is not just a reputation, right? This magic book records in detail all the dark magic from level one to level seven, which are the essence of our Alliance. As long as you nod and join us, all the magic resources of the Dark Alliance will be open to you without reservation." The leader stared at Zhou Xian with burning eyes, his words full of temptation and expectation, as if he had already won.
"But, a few days ago, an uncle in red clothes came to me and said that he wanted me to be the Pope." The teasing look in Zhou Xian's eyes disappeared in an instant. He waved his hand seemingly nonchalantly and put the magic book steadily into the space ring. His movements were skillful and natural, as if what he had just put into his pocket was not a precious secret book, but an ordinary thing.
"Pope? How dare you play tricks on me, you little brat!" The leader of the Dark Alliance suddenly woke up from his dream, his eyes widened with anger, the mockery in Zhou Xian's words was obvious. He was furious, everyone knew how respected the position of Pope of the Holy See of Light was, it was not something that could be given to anyone casually, this kid was clearly playing tricks on them.
"Attack! No matter life or death!" The leader gave the order fiercely. He knew that this was the territory of the Holy Alliance after all, and it was not appropriate to stay here for long.
Since the boy in front of him was so ungrateful, don't blame them for being rude and using force directly. In his opinion, the so-called genius who had not yet truly grown up was just a flash in the pan and was not to be feared.
As soon as he finished speaking, the men behind him pounced on Zhou Xian like wolves.
Seeing this, Zhou Xian's mouth curled up slightly, not dodging or avoiding, but just standing there blankly, with empty eyes, as if he was scared out of his wits, totally at a loss. Anyone who saw him would think he was scared silly by this sudden change. "Try to catch him alive." Seeing this, the leader sneered disdainfully, secretly proud in his heart. In his eyes, Zhou Xian was indeed just a child who had never seen the world. Even if he was gifted, he grew up in favorable circumstances, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse. Facing such a scene, he was immediately frightened and stood there. He waved his hand, signaling his men to move gently and not hurt the boy's life.
"Six level seven fighters? That's all you can do. Aren't you, the Dark Alliance, too disappointing to me?"
Zhou Xian raised his mouth, his eyes full of contempt. In an instant, a mighty fighting spirit surged out of his body like a surging wave, and in the blink of an eye it condensed into a solid, substantial shield outside his body, shining like an indestructible armor.
The fists and swords of several people were wrapped in fierce momentum, smashing into Zhou Xian's shield like a storm. However, the seemingly fierce attack fell on the shield, but it was like a drop in the ocean, not even a slight ripple was aroused, and the shield still stood firmly, without any damage.
Several people stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief. They looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and panic. They thought they could easily defeat the opponent, but now they showed such a strong strength. Some people couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the weapons in their hands almost slipped.
The leader's face was like a palette, changing from white to red. He was filled with regret, and never expected that he would be so wrong. He originally thought that he was just a gifted magic genius, but now it seems that the other party is also a powerful warrior. Just look at the fluctuations of fighting spirit, which is powerful and majestic, and it is clearly the momentum of a ninth-level warrior. He secretly groaned in his heart, this is a big trouble.
"Since Mr. Aatrox has no intention of joining us, we won't force him. Let's go!" The leader made a prompt decision, with a hint of helplessness in his words. He knew that with his own strength, although he was sure to subdue Zhou Xian, it would definitely take a lot of time.
After all, they were in the territory of the Holy Alliance, which was the sphere of influence of the Holy See of Light. Once they made a big noise and were discovered, the Holy See of Light would definitely send out all its forces to encircle and suppress them. After weighing the pros and cons, it was better to evacuate quickly.
"Want to leave? That's not that easy, you'd better stay alive!" Zhou Xian snorted coldly, his voice was like a bell, revealing unquestionable ruthlessness. His eyes were like torches, locking tightly on these people, obviously not intending to let them go easily. In his place, if you dare to attack him, you will have to pay a heavy price.
As soon as he said this, before anyone could react, Zhou Xian suddenly stretched out his hand. In an instant, the originally flat ground seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, and it bulged up high.
Immediately afterwards, a huge palm made of mud rose from the ground like a small mountain, and with an overwhelming force, it slapped towards the few people fiercely. Wherever it passed, the air whistled and the dust flew.
"Ninth-level earth magic, Hand of the Earth!" The leader's eyes opened wide, almost popping out of their sockets, his face full of disbelief, staring at Zhou Xian.
"A ten-year-old ninth-level magician? How is this possible! What a ridiculous joke!" He roared in his heart, feeling that the scene before him overturned his own cognition, as if he was trapped in an absurd nightmare and could not wake up.
