Chapter 239: Xerxes the Deceiver
Inujuro talked endlessly and threw all the secrets he had dug out from Xerxes to Su Jing.
Su Jing knew that Xerxes didn't tell the truth, but the highest level of lies was that 99% were true, and only one percent were false. This made it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The division of strength of the evil god kingdom mentioned by Xerxes, the number of troops they arrived, the number of strong men in the army, etc., all of which were fine. If Su Jing followed this arrangement, he would definitely be able to reduce his own losses.
Xerxes was indeed a friend of the Prince of the Frando Empire. He was also famous in the empire and was a free wizard.
However, his nickname was not told by Su Jing that in the Flanders Empire, his nickname was the deceptionist.
Xerxes did touch the rules of time, which was taboo by the Gods' Court, but he had the protection of the royal family and would not be caught and burned to death. Of course, he tricked the royal princess into bed, the problem was that he was a married man.
Moreover, the princess's man was a great prince. He offended the powerful legendary warrior and did not want to stay in the imperial capital, so he took the initiative to ask for his orders and came to Dongqin.
Anyway, the oracle has been promulgated, and his behavior will reduce the attention of the Divine Court to him.
However, he misjudged the strength of the Eastern Qin Empire and thought that if the Eastern Qin Empire had not been far away, he would have been conquered long ago. He did not participate in the army attacking the borders of the Northern Region, but knew that Dong Qin was arranging heavy troops there, even if he won, he would have won miserably.
The intelligence department of the Evil God Kingdom was accurate, which made him think that he would hardly encounter resistance when he went around Yizhou. The army attacking Yizhou had a total of millions, and it would not be possible to take it down in one day when facing a desolate and remote city.
Xerxes came purely for speculation. Once he was the first to capture the city of the Eastern Qin Empire, all his previous sins would be offset. The Divine Court would even absorb him into joining. No matter how much he hated the Divine Court, he had to be careful when facing the Divine Court.
If it weren't for the protection of the royal family, he would have died long ago.
Xerxes planned to exchange real information for real information from the Eastern Qin Empire, which is even more important. After all, the expedition to Yizhou was a partial army, and it didn't matter even if it was all damaged.
The plan for the Eastern Expedition was decided by the oracle. The power of the country was to destroy the Eastern Qin. The millions of troops were not the elite of the imperial army, but the army of a few kingdoms.
If he could get first-hand information from the Eastern Qin Empire, Xerxes would have any reward after returning, and he might even be allowed to enter the temple to study the code of the gods.
As for how to deceive Su Jing, this is very skillful for him. Before he surrendered, he used magic to seal part of his memory and forged a new memory. These are what he had prepared for a long time.
After being caught, he doesn't care even if he signs a magic contract. His magic can deceive the contract. This seal will probably be lifted in one month, which is enough for him to get information.
Unexpectedly, Inujuro used his unique method to break the seal in Xerxes' brain and asked everything.
Xerxes was so angry that he could not cry. How could there be such a top-notch person in the Eastern Qin Empire? All the most shameless guys in the world are not as scary as Inujuro.
Funny, Xerxes the deceiter.
Su Jing muttered, saying, "Can he still see people?"
"Yes, I just destroyed him mentally. His body was still intact." Inujuro replied to Su Jing.
"You've been on the top floor?"
"Well. The environment there is better, the scenery is beautiful, and the space is large enough. The old monks are busy with your affairs and don't bother me. It's really..." Inujuro licked his lips, and was still savoring the wonderful days.
"I'll go and have a look." Su Jing asked Inujuro and Yingyang to follow him, but did not call Su Mu, but called Jun Wuxie.
Jun Wuxie is now full of energy. Last time he rushed to the camp, he had a brilliant record. He killed more than 30 knights and had no number of soldiers.
Moreover, Jun Wuxie is used to wearing armor now. This armor is specially made for Qi Refiners. The true qi is imported and the action is unhindered. During the battle of the hundreds of schools, the Qi Refiners of the Taoist Sect did not wear armor, and there were heavy casualties. In order to fight against military strategists, he studied Qi Refiners' armor.
Over time, many casual cultivators have long forgotten the difficulties of the Taoist sect and have become less used to armor piercing again.
On the tenth floor of the Buddhist Battle Tower, Xerxes' eyes were dull and half lying on a chair. There was a short table in front of him, with dishes and pot of wine on the table. There were towels and chopsticks next to him, but they didn't move.
Seeing Su Jing come in, Xerxes made a sound in his throat, but he couldn't tell what it was.
So pitiful!
Su Jing had this idea when he saw Xerxes for the first time.
Inujuro leaned out his head behind Su Jing and said viciously: "Young Master, don't be deceived by him, he is pretending to be pitiful. If you don't believe me, I'll let him perform for you?"
Xerxes immediately sat upright and said seriously: "Marson Su, I am your prisoner. Should I stand and answer your questions, or stay here?"
"Xerxes the deceiter?" Su Jing asked.
"Yes, I am Xerxes, the deceiter."
"You plan to use your information to exchange for information from the Dongqin Empire, and then go back and get promoted and make a fortune?"
"Yes, that's what I plan."
"Then what new plans do you have now?"
"I plan to defect to you and fight for you," Xerxes replied.
"Why?"
"After a brief analysis, there is no such person as yours in the Kingdom of Gods. Yours obviously have complex components, and he is not an exception. The Kingdom of Gods has become more and more boring for thousands of years, such as gods, royal families, and that's all. A diverse country will inevitably produce strange geniuses. No one is suppressed, and the number of your strong men will be three to five times that of ours. Including those priests of the gods, I'm afraid that nothing can be changed."
"What kind of calculation method is this?" Su Jing was surprised.
"I studied the history of the kingdom of the gods and concluded that when the gods had not yet arrived, there were many races, splendid cultures, and extremely complex professional systems in that era. Now we have fewer and fewer things left, knights, magicians, and priests. There may be only these three."
Su Jing nodded. From an evolutionary perspective, such a structure tends to self-destruction.
"I just happen to need an army of cannon fodder. Well, do you know the charming technique or something?" Su Jing had some knowledge of magic from his intelligence.
"I can't do it, really can't. If you ask me to persuade me to surrender, it's better to let him." Xerxes pointed at Inujuro. Su Jing suddenly realized that he had changed.
When he first saw Xerxes, Su Jing felt Xerxes was particularly clean, from the inside out. Now, Xerxes gave him the feeling that it was turbid and fragile.
This guy Inujuro has defiled a good magician. Alas.
"No, I don't need you to persuade you to surrender. Your charm technique is only used during battles, and it will give the people I recruit. Let them burst out with enough combat power. In addition, I want to learn your charm technique, memory seal technique, and time law."
"It's not the same thing, you can't learn it."
"Don't worry, I will learn it soon." Su Jing smiled happily. Other qi refining scholars can't learn it because magic and Taoist techniques are two systems. And his true qi of dragon and snake can simulate all energy operation. His six-Dao Divine Mirror can tell the details of all magic and remember it. As long as he gets familiar with it slowly, he can get it.
As for using magic to fight, Su Jing never thought that magic is of course powerful, but unfortunately there is less change. High burst means a lot of consumption.
A Qi Refiner with the same combat power, one is better than three magicians.
Su Jing learns magic to find a real cracking method, and also to understand the laws of heaven in the kingdom of evil gods in magic. Once this is analyzed, the magician will not be worth mentioning in front of him.
Xerxes said that his magic touched the power of rules and the law of time. Su Jing was very interested in this. With the Six Paths of Divine Swords, his research speed would be hundreds of times that of Xerxes.
"If you are willing to spend your time here, I will follow your will. But what should I do if you can't learn?"
"If you can learn, if you can't learn, you will have no value for existence. Let me think about how I should arrange your life during this period. Xerxes, the deceiter, maybe, I should build a prison for you."
"Your will is everything." Xerxes stood up and bowed to Su Jing.
Su Jing suddenly appeared in front of him, and slapped his head. Xerxes had turned into a black shadow and got into the dragon and snake eight-level pot that Su Jing took out.
Su Jing laughed and looked inside. Xerxes was thrown into the space represented by the Dui hexagram.
Su Jing said to Hukou: "Xerxes, stay in there first, and when I need you, I will release you."
Xerxes's body was swept away, his eyes were gloomy, looking at the small outlet above his head. He had already pretended to be perfect, why didn't he get his trust?
"Why?" Xerxes tried and spoke to that.
"Because, you have no faith." Su Jing replied plainly. He remembered the disputes about faith in his previous life. Many people believe that only by believing in a certain religion can one be called a person with faith. But Su Jing believes that faith is the source of a person's strength and the driving force for his progress.
His faith is family, nation, country, and glory.
These things are not reflected in Xerxes.
"Damn it, why do I believe in those gods!" Xerxes roared angrily. Su Jing smiled and sealed the pot mouth.
This guy really regards faith as faith in God.
Xerxes shouted loudly in the Eight Realms of Dragon and Snake Pot, using all his might, never get Su Jing’s response again. Only then did he realize that he had done something wrong. That was that he naively thought that he could test his wisdom to control everything.
