Chapter 180: A Game Within a Game (3/4)

Fortunately, at this time, there was no longer a death squad attacking this deserted tomb, otherwise he would have to be scared to death on the spot when he saw a colorful light suddenly appearing in front of a tombstone.

The way to open this infinite page tome is to give it a name on the cover.

Therefore, Zhao Xu deliberately wrote it by hand, which is also the powerful effect of the first-level spell "Identification Technique".

Otherwise, the most common way for ordinary adventurers to ponder the effect of a piece of magic equipment is to wear it and feel what specific enhancements it has brought, such as Zhao Xu's star cloak

However, for some start-up magic items, there needs to be a designated way to excite, and generally most magic items will indicate the activation method on it, such as Zhao Xu's "invisible ring" with the word "tapping" written on the inner ring of the ring.

For example, if you want to jump with a "jumping" ring that strengthens your jumping ability, you can only experience the feeling of lightness in the air if you try to jump with it.

At this moment, when the colorful light disappeared, Zhao Xu touched the book he named as a notebook again, and suddenly had a feeling of blending.

Zhao Xu gently flipped through the notes, looking at the records left by the ancestors of the Andy family before, he directly cleared and erased them.

In the future, whatever Zhao Xu writes on it will slowly disappear, but when Zhao Xu reads it, the text on it will automatically appear.

Andy's previous consciousness, Zhao Xu had the impression that the library also had a legend, so naturally he dissipated the specific content of the ritual by the way.

It's just that when he dissolves to Andy's ancestor who brought back the note, he hesitates, squinting and studying the words left by the other party.

Looking at the content, it can be analyzed that when the other party took this notebook to record, he had already left the tomb, and most of them were some long-distance scenery, as well as longing for their relatives' hometown.

But what caught Zhao Xu's attention was that the other party's description of the tomb had already been explored by adventurers, and even many traps had the corpses of former adventurers remaining.

In this way, Andy's ancestor was able to get back a magic notebook, and even looked at the other party's description, that receipt was definitely not expensive, otherwise there would be no need to use a carriage to carry it.

Generally, a large tomb with burial goods, if you can still find things and there are many casualties among the explorers, it means that there are still treasures in that tomb that have not been explored.

In particular, the diary contains the general location of the tomb and a simple sketch of the entrance to the tomb.

Zhao Xu looked at the sketch and fell into deep thought.

He had seen the mysterious symbol at the entrance of the tomb.

He was transported back to the Dark Ages by Antinojas, and the priest he saw performing the savage sacrifice was deep in thought, and his face was painted with the symbol.

It's not a tomb of an ancient elemental god, is it?

Zhao Xu looked at the position below, it was a month to walk from Mystra, and it was not a particularly far, but it was not something he would be able to go there for a while now.

However, Zhao Xu didn't think much about it at this time, and hid the rough map and the picture of the tomb entrance into the invisible page of the note.

Then I plan to erase the records of the scenery along the way.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's eyes froze.

Ordinary people may not be able to see it yet, but Zhao Xu, as the owner of this notebook, can clearly feel the difference between each word on it.

In these two pages, there are some words that are written down with great force, but each page of the notes is so thick that no trace can be seen from the back.

However, if you put a thin layer of charcoal on it, you can tell which characters are the deepest by the color of the charcoal on the paper.

Zhao Xu naturally didn't need to be so magical at the moment, he clearly felt the structure and texture of each text in this book, and naturally he could clearly understand which words on the other side could be forced.

Zhao Xu also slowly pieced together the scattered words at this time, in order-

"I'm cursed."

"Don't use that summoning ritual that has been passed down from the family!"

"That will summon a real demon!"

Zhao Xu suddenly felt a chill behind him, how could there be so many summoning rituals in this world.

This means that the man Andy was deceiving him, and that the ritual was not what he saw at all from the slate of the mystery shop.

Zhao Xu stood up abruptly and ran in the direction where the five young men had disappeared.

At the same time he began to take out the candle from his pocket, which had burned a small head.

If someone were to appear in the cemetery at night, he would hear a sudden "boom" of wind, accompanied by a gust of air blowing past him, as if someone was rushing in front of him.

In the end, Zhao Xu ran until he was a little out of breath when he was 14 physically fit.

He saw four bodies lying on the ground in front of the stream he had come from.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's whole body was invisible, holding a protective staff in one hand and a candle in the other.

Before Zhao Xu could take a few steps closer, his hand holding the staff tightened.

It was the same four men and women who had been sitting around to assist in the ceremony.

And Andy, the man who lied to him, is nowhere to be found.

Zhao Xu was extremely vigilant at the moment.

Even looking at the corpse in front of him, he remained silent and did not go forward to investigate.

His only movement was to keep rubbing the wick of the "Prayer Candle", which had been sprinkled with flammable sulfur, and as long as he twisted it gently, the "Prayer Candle" would naturally be lit.

In the end, Zhao Xu still decided to use a "fortune viewing technique" on himself.

This priest-level necromancy is an evil elemental spell, and he can't use it as a good priest, and can only cast it through the dossier spell bit.

The effect of the spell is similar to that of "Detection Magic", after he released the spell, a fan-shaped diffuse area with a radius of 10 meters appeared in front of him, and immediately covered the four people who were in the end.

Suddenly, the mage fed back to him the information about whether each target in the area was alive, what the specific state was, and whether it was an undead creature.

Indeed, there are only four dead bodies left at this moment.

At this moment, Zhao Xu no longer acted rashly, and even he couldn't guarantee whether Andy was possessed or poisoned himself.

Zhao Xu directly took out a gem that Lei An gave him from his backpack, and then gently pinched it.

--------------------

Ryan stood by the stream with a drowsy face, surrounded by two priests and a paladin, as well as three "spell guards" from the Floating City, all from the same department.

The "Rosicrucius", a joint organization of the Mage Guild and the Church of the Goddess, is responsible for hunting down the evil otherworldly creatures that invade Arthur, especially the Devil and Demon Affairs section.

"I said brother, your luck is too fierce, come out to escort and monitor that group of rookies, you can also encounter this single thing." Ryan yawned.

This "Rosicrucius" involved the union of two organizations, and Ren, as the association's liaison officer in the church, naturally held an important position in it.

At the beginning, he gave Zhao Xu a gem, as long as Zhao Xu crushed the gem, he would be able to get the message and transmit it to Zhao Xu's side.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu used this gem for the first time, and he actually gave him such a great credit.

Although waking him up in the middle of the night did make him a little sleepy, but thinking of this rare case, Lei An's tired mind let go again, and he couldn't help but calculate the specific merits.

"Are all these people saved?" Zhao Xu asked.

Ryan shook his head: "The souls have all been taken away, and no one can come unless the gods intervene." This devil's method is also cruel enough, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen around Mystra. ”

Saying that, he also glanced at Zhao Xu, "I didn't expect you to be so strong now, and the devil didn't dare to do anything to you on the spot." Otherwise, after the other party kills you on the spot, you will be able to use these four men and women as carriers to continue the ceremony. ”

Zhao Xu shook his head, "You don't have to comfort me, after all, I'm not strong enough." ”

At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes looked deeply at the four corpses that had been reined in.

"To tell you the truth, I'm too lazy to comfort a little kid like you." Ryan turned his head to look at the men who were using their spell hands to review.

"It's useless if you're strong, can you protect these four people for a lifetime?" Ryan said contemptuously, "People who can do this kind of unauthorized summoning ritual are themselves stepping into a cliff with half a foot, and it's useless for you to pull them." As long as they are with that Andy, they will die after all. When I came, I couldn't see anything abnormal, otherwise the devil would have been wiped out by us."

As the deputy of the "Rosicrucius" department, Ryan said these dejected words with an indifferent face.

The priest who was standing a little closer on the side couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he just thought of Ryan's usual style, and he still endured it.

Lei An suddenly looked at Zhao Xu with a curious expression, "I haven't explained it to you, you can already guess the ins and outs?" ”

"No, it stands to reason that the direction of the stream here is not the way back to Mystra, how can you tell if the other party is not going back to Mystra first, after all, it should think that it is hiding it well, so it dares to kill people nearby so unscrupulously."

Ryan couldn't help but show a look of "Shibei should be impressed for three days", "You players can't really get the improvement of knowledge according to reason." ”

Zhao Xu also looked at Lei An angrily, "Is it good for me to read books in the library every day during this time." ”

"I'll go." At this time, Lei An also lowered his voice, "I forgot your old identity, so it seems that you are also very diligent, how long has you been watching it in the last day?" ”

He already understood which library Zhao Xu was talking about.

"18 hours." Zhao Xu said, basically he is holding a book borrowed from the library and looking at it when he has free time.

"Then tell me, how did you guess?" Lei An suddenly thought about it and asked Zhao Xudao.
