Seeing Andy and the other four suddenly appear in front of him, Zhao Xu was slightly stunned.

Zhao Xu, who had cast this spell in the final scroll space, knew that this spell was only able to let the caster see the specific historical process by himself.

Just like when he casts the "Detection Magic", only he, the caster, can see the specific aura.

And now they can still see this scene, and naturally Wren also cast an illusion to show what he saw.

As Zhao Xu expected, the five people finally walked to the stream, and when they were about to step on the stone pier to pass, suddenly the four young men all showed frightened looks, and fell directly to the ground, unable to move.

And the man named Andy, with a hideous look, went up to finish off his former companions one by one.

Among them, the slightly chubby man who had tried to invite Zhao Xu to visit, whose father was the clerk of the Mystra Government Office, suddenly fled forward with a frightened look.

But the man didn't run a few steps, and his whole body froze like a statue.

It's like a spell that binds you alive.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning.

This effect is naturally the ability released by the devil who has crossed over.

Generally powerful monsters, in addition to their own characteristics, will also have special abilities, supernatural abilities, and spell-like abilities.

Like the target Blazing Heaven Divine Servant that Zhao Xu once transformed, it itself has the spell-casting ability of a level 19 priest, but it also has a spell-like ability.

These spell abilities correspond to spells of the same name, but there are restrictions on how often they can be used, such as being cast at will, once a day, or once a year.

Like the level 20 Deep Hell Purgatory that Ryan mentioned earlier, it has the ability to cast spells-level nine-level spell "Prayer Technique", but it can only be cast once a year.

For example, the Deep Hell Purgatory does not have the ability to teleport to the other world, and if he thinks of Arthur's main material plane, he can only use the "Prayer Technique" of the once a year opportunity to simulate the otherworldly teleportation to reach Arthur.

But this also means that the opponent's main body will not be able to go back until a year later when this kind of spell ability is restored.

This also means that the demon possessed by Andy has spell-like abilities such as immobilization.

Among them, the lowest level is naturally the priest's second-level divine art, and it is also the "human immobilization technique" of the mage's third-level arcane art, and the higher level is the seventh-level arcane "group human immobilization technique" and the ninth-level arcane "group monster immobilization technique".

Eventually, Andy fled across the stream with a bloody ritual after a simple ritual of killing and sacrifice.

After showing this scene, Ryan also obtained Andy's portrait information, and he once again performed the eight-ring arcane magic of IQ "Sensing Location" on the spot.

Until he finished casting his spell, his whole person had a solemn look.

After a while, Lei An raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Xu, and asked, "Do you have any speculation?" ”

Zhao Xu fell into deep thought, "Among the immobilization spell abilities, the most common demons are naturally the Spiked Demon that challenges level 11, and the Deep Hell Purgatory that challenges level 20. ”

Because the devil has maintained Andy's human form from beginning to end, and has not transformed into his own body, it is not possible to directly judge this.

"Which one do you guess?" Ryan continued.

"Hellpurgatory." Zhao Xu said with a slightly hesitant look.

"Well, congratulations, that's right, judging by the residual traces at the scene, as well as the feedback from our personnel in Mystra, it's the 'Deep Hell Purgatory'." Ryan laughed.

"And he is also a 'Deep Hell Purgatory' with a high rank, and just now he deliberately killed those four people, in fact, to cover up its next traces through a ritual." Ryan said.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu's eyes also crossed the stream, looking at the terrifyingly dark depths in the shade of the trees in front of him.

From time to time, the bushes swayed gently with the night breeze, as if it were the "Deep Hell Purgatory" standing there staring at them.

And Zhao Xu's face was also heavy.

Being able to have special rituals and even pay attention to resisting the devil in the perceptual position can be said to be definitely not nameless in purgatory.

This means that the other party may not only be 18HD, but may even be the kind of person who has evolved the life dice, the kind of strong person who has both professional levels.

Ordinary "Deep Hell Purgatory" alone can cast several kinds of spell abilities at will every day, including the Seven Rings Negative and the instant death spell "Blasphemy Language".

This spell does not take into account anything, and only determines the effect of the spell based solely on the difference in the number of life dice between the caster and the recipient.

For example, Zhao Xu only has 3 levels, that is, three life dice, that is, 3HD, compared to the other party's life dice of at least 18HD, the difference is more than 10HD.

And in the spell effect of the blasphemous word, the HD gap is zero, that is, it is in a state of vertigo, just like Zhao Xu's previous rapid explosion.

But the gap is more than 10HD, that is, it is wiped out on the spot, and there is no even the most basic immunity for instant death spells.

Therefore, if Zhao Xu rashly went to the other party to theorize, if the other party did not have the idea of covering it up again, it would be a spell to kill him in seconds.

"They just finished collecting information, now go over and take a look?" That's when Ryan suggested.

Zhao Xu also nodded, after all, this was not a detective scene, so at first he didn't go forward without permission to join in the fun.

Even before Ryan and the others arrived, he didn't take a closer step forward in order to avoid being cursed or even destroying the scene.

At this moment, Zhao Xu finally observed up close that Andy, who was possessed by demons, used the blood of four innocent victims to draw a simple ritual circle on the ground.

At this time, a middle-aged mage who had just collected and described information here and was an old man who belonged to the spell guard was about to step forward and briefly report the results of their analysis to Ryan.

However, Ryan did wave his hand lightly to stop the other party's speech.

"Is this a ritual of anti-prophecy?"

Although Zhao Xu didn't recognize the effect of the ritual itself, he was no longer Wuxia Ameng at this moment, and he had some idea of the rune imprints used in some rituals.

For example, summoning rituals must use more runes that involve planes, teleportation, coordinates, energy transmission, etc.

And the rituals in front of you don't all say that they are prophecy detection, but this does not mean that it is a prophecy ritual.

On the contrary, the layout of the ritual is to present the inverted star house pattern, which is entirely for the purpose of anti-prophecy layout.

"That's right." Lei An verified Zhao Xu's judgment.

And the mage who was about to report couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu in surprise.

At first, the shining cloak with the silk thread of the meteor trajectory on Zhao Xu's body had already attracted his attention, and when he saw the badge of the archbishop on his body later, he didn't think much about it.

It's just that now the other party, at this age, also has research on rituals? It stands to reason that the mages of Mystra did not study much about the ritual itself.

Only some senior mages who are dedicated to the study of rituals will know a little bit about this aspect.

Combined with Captain Ren's courtesy to the other party, the spell guard guessed that the other party must be an expert in rituals.

At this time, Zhao Xu stared at the magic circle on the ground and fell into deep thought.

Then he took out his spell notebook again, and by manipulating his own consciousness, he copied the crude sketch of the ritual circle in front of him.

This shocked the "spell guard" who recognized the other party's actions, and most of the scenes involving the devil and demon killing were strictly sealed off to prevent the power of demons and demons from leaking out and causing panic.

For so many years, it was the first time he had seen someone show like this, so he directly copied the content of the scene in front of their "Rosicrucius".

At this time, Ryan still noticed the look of his subordinates, so he explained: "He is our future team member, so this time the information is shared with him." ”

At this moment, Zhao Xu had already fallen into a state of distraction, he took out a copy of "Hundred Rituals in Detail" borrowed from the Legendary Library, and then turned to one of the pages, obviously having read it before.

Zhao Xu had stayed up late to read this book before, and then according to the recommendation in the book, he went to read the book "Teleportation Ritual: The Journey of Herrosga".

In the legendary library, he stayed up until late at night and kept reading various rituals, and all kinds of ritual symbols flew around in his mind.

Even this time to come out to protect those twenty mages, it can be said to be a journey of relaxation.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's eyes fell directly on a certain key node in the ceremony, and the spell note in his hand suddenly appeared like a circle of water waves on the surface of a calm lake at that position.

Slowly, that position zoomed in on the book.

Zhao Xu knew that the ritual was not complete.

In fact, the ritual does not need to be very complete.

It's just that the "Deep Hell Purgatory" has the ability to make the incomplete rituals exert their own abilities, so they use their own spirituality to make up for it.

Zhao Xu began to reconstruct the missing key link of the ritual in his mind.

It's like after a cut is broken into more than a dozen pieces, Zhao Xu has to rely on only half of the fragments to visualize the appearance of the originally intact vase.

In the process of thinking about this, Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the body bag that had been retracted.

Suddenly, my heart was shocked, and some indescribable thoughts surged out of my body.

"That 'Deep Hell Purgatory' must be centered here and hiding around. This killing scene is the center of the ceremony. ”

Zhao Xu asserted.

At this time, Ryan also looked at him with a somewhat incredulous look.

This kid, shouldn't he be a similar case I've read before, and deliberately pretended to deceive him here, right?

It's just that Ryan immediately denied his guess.

The files are still hidden in the Rosicrucian Archive.

At this moment, Lei An couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu with a straight face.
