Chapter 339: Transaction
This rhetorical question of "Lei An" directly made Zhao Xu's whole person creepy, as if he looked at the mirror in the middle of the night, but found that the person in the "mirror" acted differently from himself.
Zhao Xu directly activated the communication ability of "Mind Link" in his heart, and constantly conveyed information to Lei An.
He needs to judge at what point Ryan started to be dropped.
Is it the moment when the other person returns to the classroom?
Or just the moment when I almost tripped over the elevator door.
It's about whether others know what happened to him.
If Lei An from the moment he returned to the classroom was fake, then Zhao Xu could only gamble and commit suicide directly in addition to his deep sense of fear.
And if it has just been dropped, then all hope is still there.
After some feedback, Zhao Xu's heart did not get any echo, and the pretender next to him did not laugh at him for doing more.
This also somewhat relieved him.
At this time, in the alchemy elevator, there were metal mirrors compacted with thick forged steel plates all around, faintly reflecting the figures of the two of them.
But now it seems that Lei An, who was originally about the same height as Zhao Xu, seems to have a pair of bat wings behind him in the reflection, and at the same time, the floor numbers on the panel are also directly stuck and no longer change.
Zhao Xu also couldn't feel the weightlessness in the descent process.
He and a creature disguised as "Ryan" were trapped in a confined space.
Even Zhao Xu suspected that this was not the alchemy elevator he had originally entered.
"Introduce yourself first." The person beside Zhao Xu said in an elegant tone: "I have many titles, but for the sake of convenience, you still call me the Immortal Black Lord 'Grazt'." ”
Hearing the last syllable, Zhao Xu, who already had a sense of familiarity at the moment when the other party spoke, was even more confirmed.
He turned his head at this point, and saw that Ryan's original bohemian face had blurred into another one, with an angular appearance, with a sense of handsomeness that penetrated the heart, and at the same time exuded a dark charm that was difficult to resist.
Although its skin was a little dark, its eyes shone with a strange green light, and its sharpened ears and protruding yellowish fangs highlighted its demonic identity.
"Projection?"
has reached this point, and Zhao Xu's mentality is also calm.
He didn't expect that this demon lord, who had always wanted to conquer other layers of the abyss and become the only sovereign, would come to the "Sacred Heart Cathedral" in Mystra so rashly.
The original "succubus priest" can also be said to be a private provocation.
Now this kind of visit is directly a kick on the nose and face, and it is not an exaggeration to trigger a divine war.
Zhao Xu, who had already consumed the "Time Regression Talisman" and was unable to teleport to other places, decided to deal with this Abyss Great Monarch first after thinking about more than ten thoughts in his mind.
Instead of rashly using the "Super Demon Instant Scepter" in his hand to directly stimulate the "vaporized body" to gamble, see if you can escape by relying on the "vent" of the alchemy elevator.
"Heh, what's the weight?" Grazter suddenly said in a strange tone, "Especially for you now. ”
"Then you paid your Succubus Priest believer, not just to make small talk with me here, right?" Zhao Xu immediately changed the topic and tried to pull the initiative back.
"Oh, looks like you've reacted too." The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is indeed no better than any other place, and if I want to be so close to you without being disturbed, I can only let my little believer sacrifice himself and take the initiative to attract all the eyes around you. ”
Grazter spoke of his experience of actively driving his near-legendary succubus priest to his death, but his tone was very flat.
A legendary chess piece, in the eyes of them at these levels, is no different.
"As for me, I'm naturally here to visit you." Grazter said, "The last time you took his wife's soul from me for that idiot, I lost a Legendary Mage-level slave after all. ”
"You can figure it out." Zhao Xu was not the slightest excited, his mentality continued to remain calm, and he did not try to correct the fact that the other party was only nine rings in the first place.
He was clear.
As long as Ryan is not subdued, it is only a matter of time before he finally finds this mysterious space.
At this time, Zhao Xu had already noticed that the steel iron plate of the alchemy elevator had begun to appear distorted like a wave.
Obviously, it's not just the mysterious power that is distorted, it's the space that is beginning to blur.
That is, he may no longer be in Mystra.
This point, from the very beginning, Zhao Xu did not get the echo of Lei An's "Spiritual Link", so he could roughly judge it.
Psychic link is a five-ring spell that can communicate with the mind in a group, and Zhao Xu's three rings can already cast a "one-on-one" secondary psychic link.
The spell itself can span all distances, regardless of the ends of the earth.
Only, it is impossible to cross the plane.
If you want to make this kind of interdimensional call, you have to use the six-ring "Larry Otherworldly Mind Link".
Ryan is not like Antinoya, who can use "potential points" to restore his spell slot at any time, so naturally he casts spells on demand, and if he can save one ring, he will not be one ring higher.
"Don't you think that from the hands of a great Abyss Lord, it is such a light thing to successfully regain the soul without sequelae, right?" Grazt continued to speak in a proud tone.
At this time, it had already turned around and looked directly at Zhao Xu.
And Zhao Xu knew what the other party said, so in order to let the other party fulfill his promise, he performed five miracle techniques in a row, and with the divine skill of the "Blazing Sky Divine Servant" Artoria, he attracted the divine power of the goddess to suppress the other party.
That's why his million-dollar Necromancy Staff and Mithril Crystal were so reluctant.
While completing the task, it is also burdened with cause and effect.
"Then you're going to kill me here for revenge?" Zhao Xu asked rhetorically.
After all, the original agreement between him and "Grazt" was only to ensure that the other party must return the soul of the wife of the Emerald Star Master Frank.
As for whether the other party cannot continue to do so, or even various treaties such as not being able to continue to pursue, there is no detailed agreement.
For the devil, tearing up and jumping is only a matter of a moment, and no matter how much Grazt is like a "devil" who obeys the order, he can't change his own "chaotic" camp.
So Zhao Xu never thought that he got his soul back by guessing the identity of the other party.
"Not really, and for those of you who come from the projection, it is similar to the characteristics of our tower family, and can be resurrected after death. So it doesn't make much sense for me to take your life. ”
"But, mortal." The Abyssal Lord Grazt's tone suddenly became serious.
"You're so content with your current status as a Triple Ring Mage? Think you're a lot more complacent than the other players? ”
"You don't want to get stronger? Possessing monstrous wealth? And to occupy a thousand miles of territory and become Arthur's master? Grazt's tone was suggestive.
Even if players like Zhao Xu have the protection of the gods and are immune to all spells that affect their minds, they still do not damage Grazt's own "bluffing", "intimidation" and "negotiation" skills.
Just a few bland lines, with the blessing of the other party's powerful skills, as if the words themselves have mysterious magic, little by little drilled into his ears and scratched into his heart.
In Zhao Xu's mind, he began to sketch a scene that he had fantasized about in his previous life.
He finally understood that as long as the same words were said in different people's mouths, the effect was different.
"Don't you want to be in charge of your life? We, the Abyssal Clan, will not leave the Abyss after all. We just need Arthur to appear as our agent, a great being who can manifest our will. ”
"You want to buy me?" Zhao Xu asked rhetorically at this time.
Although he didn't know why Grazt was unusual, different from the beginning, as if he wanted to lure himself into accepting the other party's "gift".
It's just that why did he become a "fragrant dumpling" again?
Everywhere you go, there are people who please give gifts?
"Sorry, Mr. Grazt, I'm the priest of the Goddess." Zhao Xu refused with righteous words at this time.
The mage's dealings with demons and demons and devils are never a few.
Actually, there are unlucky people like Frank, but they are not the norm after all.
After all, most of the objects traded by ordinary mages are just ordinary demons or devils, and the Baro Flame Demon, the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon, and the Six-armed Snake Demon can all be said to be the ceiling kind.
Many of these demons and demons have gone through thousands of years of torment in the process of slowly climbing up from the bottom, and there are many arcane treasures of spell notes collected among them, which can often provide some transactions that make mages tempted.
Even Frank, who has reached the level of Grazt, only needs to be ruthless, give up his wife's soul, and let the other party become a demon.
Before signing the actual contract, Grazt was not very easy to deal with the Nine-Ring Mage.
It's not that Grazt's power is untouchable, it's that it projects its power into Arthur's world to conquer a Nine-Ring Mage.
The price paid was far higher than if he harvested or killed a Nine Ring Mage.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xu did not dare to act rashly.
The price Grazt himself paid in order to see him here was more than the direct seizure of the soul of "Frank" at that time.
And after Grazt heard the lines of Goddess Zhao Xu's priest, he suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this moment, an endless black mist filled his back, and a deep and brilliant divine power began to shine from it.
"If you give up that priesthood, I can bestow you a legend."
