Chapter 183: Target Altar (2/4)

At this time, the middle-aged mage who had advanced to the "Spell Guard" also looked puzzled, his eyes wandered over Lei An and Zhao Xu, and secretly wondered if it was really deduced by the young mage in front of him?

And not what Ryan and he revealed.

At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes were already brighter and brighter, and the entire logical chain in his mind was connected in series at this moment.

The dopamine secreted by this successful deduction instantly swept away the frustration he felt after witnessing the death of the four young men and women.

"Let's go back to the beginning first, it's understandable that the 'Deep Hell Purgatory' won't go back to Mystra, but why did the other party do it here, and even after the brutal killing, there is no trace of it."

Ordinary people may not be easy to deal with, but with that devil's means, even if it is hundreds of people, the other party has the ability to cover up those corpses.

"It's impossible to guess what choice the chaotic and evil demon makes, but if the demon of order does so, it can only be attributed to the other party's compulsion."

At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes were full of confidence at first, and the other priests present and the three Floating City Spell Guards all looked at him, waiting for his next speech.

At this time, Lei An lowered his head slightly, pondering Zhao Xu's words.

"Originally, it could have controlled Andy and directly chose the 'Advanced Teleportation Technique' to escape. But the presence of these four people, and what I witnessed, made it impossible for him to hide his traces and take Andy away. Even at my request, when I turned around, they would go to the church of the goddess to worship. And even if he killed those four people secretly, one of them had the son of the clerk of the Mistra government department, and he would definitely bring in an investigation. ”

"So it simply sacrificed four people to create a killing that would be discovered, spreading fear to explode the power to support the ritual that concealed its location, and at the same time choosing the vicinity of the stream, I guess also to expand the scope of the ritual."

"This shows that the scope of this ritual is absolutely limited, and that 'Deep Hell Purgatory' is around here because of this."

Zhao Xu said firmly.

At this time, Lei An deliberately shook his head, "This is not necessarily, this kind of concealed ritual can only last for a while, and with the passage of time, that hidden power will eventually disappear, and then the 'Deep Hell Purgatory' will no longer have the power to shield the 'perception location'." ”

"It's just letting it slow down its exposure for ten days and a half months.".

When Zhao Xu heard this, he smiled.

If he hadn't seen the limited duration of the ritual, he might have questioned himself.

But he had seen through it at the outset, and it would have become a strong chain of evidence for his speculation.

"This means that there must be an altar of the devil around here."

After Zhao Xu said it, he found that the faces of everyone around him were still calm.

At this moment, he was in a clear state of mind, and he suddenly understood.

A similar case happened with the "Rosicrucifixion"!

"Smack, smack, smack." Lei An couldn't help but clap his palms, and at this time, he looked at Zhao Xu's expression, no longer the original kind of hanging gaze, but a straight face.

"In 1724, the prince of the Casa Empire disappeared, and it was discovered that twenty of his followers had been slaughtered, and the blood stained the nearby streams. It was the 'Deep Hell Purgatory' who hid in the lair of the altar deep beneath the hunting ground as a ritual of killing. Later, after the legendary mage intervened, he was able to search for the existence of the 'Deep Hell Purgatory'. ”

Lei An looked at Zhao Xu with a satisfied expression, "Now your stage is about to come to an end, and the next thing will be handed over to me." ”

After speaking, he looked at his subordinates with a heroic expression and a determined expression, "Contact the city guards of Mystra, take this stream as the center, within a radius of 20 miles, and search for me." ”

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

Zhao Xu gently took off the VR simulation helmet and rolled down from under the bed.

It was already close to two or three o'clock in the morning, and the power light of Zhang Qi and Chen Sinan's VR helmet had gone out, flashing the standby light.

It shows that they are also asleep at this moment, but they have not taken off the helmet. Another roommate, Liu Hanqiang, was snoring slightly.

Zhao Xu tiptoed, walked softly to the balcony of the dormitory, turned on the faucet to keep it under the small amount of water, took a handful of water to wash his face, and sobered up.

The balcony of the dormitory is not big, on the left is a sink and a washing machine jointly purchased by Zhao Xu and the four of them, and on the right is the door of the toilet and bathroom, and the middle position is about three square meters.

Zhao Xu gently leaned on the stone brick guardrail of the balcony, looking through the weeping branches of the banyan tree in front of him, the girls' dormitory opposite was all lights out and plunged into darkness.

Over the next two days, the Rosicrucian would gather forces to search the entire area.

Even Wang Ningwei and their mage team, which was originally going to kill the robbers, will be called up again as soon as they go online tomorrow and directly participate in the search for the Demon Altar on the spot.

Naturally, these people were not involved in the pursuit of the demon, but only to find traces of the altar.

Even Zhao Xu's task directly became to participate in the search.

This is also Zhao Xu's suggestion to Lei An as a member of the "Rosicrucifixion" trainee.

Zhao Xu really wanted to solve this matter from the beginning to the end and participate in solving it himself, so after considering his next guardianship task, he directly suggested that Lei An make changes.

Naturally, needless to say, it was also agreed by Ryan.

And Zhao Xu unknowingly discovered that he had also become an existence that could influence players to release tasks.

Maybe one day, it will be his turn to issue tasks to the players.

However, in this way, the tacit understanding that Zhao Xu and Wang Ningwei finally established to know each other was in vain all of a sudden.

In fact, tomorrow, those new mages will not know that the original source of everything was because Zhao Xu searched for the unexpected situation in the vicinity for them, and they accidentally encountered an incident of demonic possession and killing, which caused their own mission to be changed.

According to Wren, the ownership of the two magical items, the "Eternal Wand" and the "Invisibility Ring", can already be obtained by virtue of the discovery he made.

However, the other item will be given as a reward to the person who finds the clue to the altar.

This also somewhat relieved Zhao Xu, but it also meant that he had to take the lead in the search team next.

The value of the two magic items in Zhao Xu's hand is among the top ones among the magic items obtained by the current players.

The only thing that's a bit regrettable is that the devil, an otherworldly creature, is inherently immune to fire elemental damage, so his "Fireball Eternal Wand" is really in vain.

At this time, Zhao Xu no longer had the need to keep it secret, so he took out his mobile phone and briefly posted tonight's experience to the group, telling Wang Ningwei and Eswig.

In particular, he emphasized the cause and effect of the ritual and the power of the "Deep Hell Purgatory".

Tomorrow, the "Rosace Cross" will naturally redivide them into groups, and then Zhao Xu will also need the two girls to help him get the remaining magic item.

After completing these, Zhao Xu also continued to stand.

Before he knew it, he had a slight influence on Arthur, especially the city of Mystra.

Tonight's incident will certainly be briefly written into a report by the "Rosicrucian" book in the future, and secretly sent to the major churches of good gods and major organizations for notification.

Speaking of which, the "Deep Hell Purgatory" was also unlucky to meet Zhao Xu, otherwise the other party should have successfully completed the ritual tonight, and then continued to go to Mystra to lurk, and then secretly develop the power of hell.

Suddenly, there was a vibration sound in Zhao Xu's mobile phone.

[Eswig: Your experience tonight is a bit bizarre, I knew I wouldn't go on patrol with you. 】

[Wang Ningwei: Mr. Midsummer is indeed very good, like an unsung hero, he stopped the devil from hiding. 】

The two women are smart people, and from Zhao Xu's brief words in an instant, they felt how many confrontations Zhao Xu had experienced tonight.

And being able to directly cross the Floating City, so that their group of players can directly change the task and be recruited, is also because of a suggestion from the person in front of them.

In fact, ordinary people, even if it's a graveyard in the game, they will feel intimidated just by getting close.

It is only Zhao Xu, a warrior who has cut down the undead in his previous life, that he can be so fearless, sitting next to the cemetery and slowly flipping through the newly obtained notes.

[Eswig: In a few days, why are you involved in a mission to save the world, and we are still only stopping at the level of eliminating the bandits. 】

[Midsummer: Blow lightly. 】

[Wang Ningwei: Haha, it's rare that Mr. Midsummer is so modest. 】

And after Zhao Xu and the two women exchanged business, and then after the explanation of the two women, Zhao Xu also understood why the two didn't do much when they encountered the goblin group during the day.

It turned out that everyone wanted to go together.

However, this matter also turned the page directly, and the three of them began to carefully communicate about tomorrow's specific plans.

Later tonight, in the process of communicating with Lei An, Zhao Xu had a slight clue about the map, and decided to focus on those places first, which is why he needed the assistance of the two women.

His gaze fell on a watchtower at the edge of the stream in a sketchy map for the two girls.
