Chapter 181: The Strongest Detection and Perception Position (4/4)
When Zhao Xu heard this, he knew that Lei An was not only curious, but also wanted to judge his own thinking.
In fact, if it weren't for the gradual increase in his knowledge recently, he might not have been able to sort out the whole idea.
At this time, Zhao Xu really needed Lei An to verify his judgment, and he handed the notebook in his hand to Lei An.
The notebook is no longer complicated, it seems to have become a tablet for Zhao Xu to manipulate, and there are only three lines of warnings from Andy's ancestor on it.
At the beginning, Zhao Xu had already told the leading pastor about the experience he had just had, including the origin of this diary.
And looking at the holy emblem on Zhao Xu's chest, the priest of the "Rosace Cross" didn't dare to say anything to him to confiscate.
Just helped Zhao Xu do a test by the way, and after confirming that it was not a devil's item, he returned it to him.
"You're saying that Andy's ancestors met the devil in the tomb and got haunted?" Lei An asked along Zhao Xu's train of thought.
However, Zhao Xu shook his head, "It's Andy's ancestor, who discovered the problem of his own bloodline in the tomb." ”
"Or rather, at that time, he already understood the ominousness that his bloodline would bring, so he warned in his notebook."
At this time, Ryan's brows furrowed slightly, "What do you mean?" ”
"There's a proverb on Earth, 'Don't add if you don't have to.'"
"Why can't Andy's ancestors have something to say, so they have to use this deliberate way of writing a few words hard, leaving marks in the notebook, and not even daring to say those three sentences directly in the notebook?"
Zhao Xu looked at Lei An with his eyes at this time, "This means that the other party can't help himself." ”
"Boy, it's not that your knowledge has risen, but your IQ has risen." Lei An couldn't help but approach Zhao Xu at this time, and kept looking at his head.
Zhao Xucai didn't bother to take care of Lei An's jokes, usually he relied on spell equipment, and in the face of the scene he was capable of, he naturally crushed the past and thought what he thought.
But when you're in a vulnerable situation, for a mage, your IQ is even more powerful than a spell bit.
"So the only explanation is that Andy's ancestors have discovered that there is a devil in their blood that will awaken at any time, and he even has to watch out for that devil and dare not leave an obvious warning." Zhao Xu sighed and said.
It's a pity that he hadn't noticed those three lines of words at the first moment he saw the notebook, otherwise this tragedy wouldn't have happened.
"Floating City has this kind of mirror that can see through the deformation and disfigurement and even the blood factor. I guess there is also that tomb, Andy's ancestors took a similar thing, and found that they saw the face of the devil, so they naturally reacted. Lei An supplemented Zhao Xu with background knowledge that he didn't know.
So I suspect that Andy's frightened attitude at the time was not a devil's disguise. It's that the devil in his body is still in the latent stage, but it can already quietly change his state and even memory, so Andy said that it was a ritual copied from a stone tablet"
"When he was far away, the devil who had gained his power from the ritual revealed his true face and took over Andy's body."
At this time, Zhao Xu squatted down slightly and picked up a stone on the ground that had only been stained with blood for a short time, "I have confirmed the ritual, it is indeed just a ritual to summon otherworldly creatures." But if it is a person with devil's bloodline like Andy to cast it, then the established otherworldly channel will also transmit the power of the devil, so that the devil's factor in their bloodline will be strengthened, and the devil will awaken. ”
At this time, Lei An couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xu in surprise, how could ordinary people guess that the essence of the ritual was to summon the devil, and then the devil occupied Andy's body by the way.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu could still insist on his own thoughts, thinking that the summoning ritual was just summoning otherworldly creatures.
"I just received a notice, and the Andy Kid family is being monitored. Experiments have proven that their bloodline is indeed the bloodline of the devil. I learned from the information that was passed to me after someone else's action, so what about you? Don't say you're so accurate. Ryan couldn't help but say.
The premise of reasonable inference, there was enough chain of speculation at that time.
Zhao Xu shook his head, "I told you that in that booklet, the ancestors of the Andy clan have carved a lot of useless rituals, proving that they are very interested in the occult, but for so many years, there is not a single content about spells. So I suspect that their own clan would not dare to become mages. ”
Because of their own spells, mages come into contact with otherworldly creatures. But if you have blood, the risk also increases exponentially.
In contrast, the pastor is still under God's care, but it is not so dangerous.
"I find out that I have to let you stay in danger a little longer, so that your brain can spin more." Ryan quipped.
"So what do you want to do next?" Ryan continued to test.
"Naturally, the devil was dug out." Zhao Xu looked serious at this time, and the momentum on his body was completely different.
He needed to call Ryan to come, and he was going to get rid of the troubles forever.
Seeing Lei An's listening look, Zhao Xu continued to analyze, "The devil, an orderly and evil otherworldly creature, is more inclined to use fraudulent contracts to grab the soul of its prey, and this kind of direct slaughter on the spot is more like a demon's method. ”
"It also means that the devil is in a hurry, and he desperately needs to kill to gain power."
At this time, Zhao Xu turned around and looked in the direction of Mystra, "Being able to make that devil give up and continue to go back to Mystra to lurk, and tear his face on the spot can only show one possibility." ”
"Nearby, there is a place where it can live and develop its strength."
At this time, a light breeze suddenly blew in the night, which made the smell of blood that had not been obvious in the air dissipate without a trace, and also made the water surface of the creek ripple.
And the old priest in the high-necked blue sacrificial robe walked over, bowed to Ryan and said, "Captain Ryan, this Mr. Midsummer can analyze like this, and he is also a priest, I think it is better to admit him into our 'Rosicruce'?" ”
Lei An's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't help but nod at Zhao Xu and said, "Do you want to join our righteous army of evil demons?" I see that every time you kid encounters a death incident, that serious attitude is like another person, just joining us to make sure that you are extremely serious every day. ”
The old mage, on the other hand, looked embarrassed, as if something good was said in Ryan's mouth, and it was all irony.
"Yes." At this time, Zhao Xu didn't have the heart to joke.
What he wanted to do most now was to kill the devil.
"Then I'll cast a spell." Lei An said at this time, as he took the book "Midsummer's Spell Notes" in Zhao Xu's hand and weighed it.
Zhao Xu nodded, "It definitely doesn't have a 'Psychic Barrier' now, and we can definitely capture its physical location by using the 'Perception Position'." ”
Lei An smiled contemptuously, "I just hope that it is at least at the level of the Deep Hell Purgatory, if it weren't for this kind of 20-level challenge level devil, Lao Tzu's eighth-level spell would have died." ”
The eighth-level arcane art "Perceiving the Unknown" is one of the most powerful spells for determining the location of a creature or object.
The caster only needs to have seen the target creature, or have something in their hands that the target creature has touched.
For example, the notebook that Zhao Xu handed over, Andy once used it to perform rituals.
Once the spell is cast, the caster will be able to sense the location of the target creature, unless the opponent is protected by the same level 8 spell "Psychic Barrier" or interfered with divine power.
In magic, the Confusion Control faction has always been famous because they can be as small as changing the attitudes of others and as large as directly controlling people's minds and manipulating and modifying memories.
However, the spells of this faction, like all illusions broken by the True Perception Technique, were restrained by the eighth-level spell "Mind Barrier".
At this moment, Ryan officially began to chant the spell spell, and the spell "Sense Location" originally had a cast time of 10 minutes, but Ryan used the special ability of "Spell Guard" "Selective Spell" to complete the spell in just one round.
It's just that as soon as the spell was cast, Ryan frowned.
Zhao Xu was suddenly surprised in his heart, they didn't use the fifth-level spell "Detection Technique" to search for the location of the devil, it was because the Detection Technique was easily shielded by spells, so they used the "Perception Location" that was less disturbed, so it failed?
Ryan shook his head: "It's really evil, after this spell note became your thing, you lost contact with Andy, and the other party is estimated to have become a devil now, reducing the association of the predecessor, so this thing doesn't work." ”
And Zhao Xu looked at the ground at this time, and the goat that was wrapped just now also disappeared, obviously taken away by the devil.
In this case, there is only one way.
They are now teleporting back to find what Andy used in the past, and there is also a problem that it doesn't work for the devil.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at Lei An and said, "Use the ninth-level spell 'Visual Backtracking'." ”
Lei An looked at Zhao Xu with a look of surprise, "You are too evil, don't you, you all know that I just happened to master this spell?" ”
"It's strange that a department like yours in charge of reconnaissance and search doesn't master this kind of spell, right?" Zhao Xu complained in reverse.
Visual backtracking is a ninth-level mage spell, but it is also a sixth-level bard spell, so Zhao Xu can cast it at level 12.
Spells are divided into several scales: days, weeks, years, and centuries, and this kind of what has just happened, with the accuracy of the "day" level, it is completely clear what has happened in this area, as well as the specific content of the conversation.
So through this spell, you can see whether the opponent remains in Andy's form after the killing, or has become a devil.
This also satisfies another condition of the "Sense Location" spell - having seen each other
At this time, Ryan continued to use the "Selective Spell" ability, and spent a round casting the "Visual Backtrack" spell.
Suddenly, the previous killing scene was displayed in front of Zhao Xu and others.
