Chapter 178: The Archbishop (1/4)

Andy, a tall and thin man who was standing in front of the bonfire at the beginning, presided over the ceremony, looked at the man in a cloak that shone like starlight with a pale face.

At this moment, he couldn't react to what was going on.

The four companions who came with him, who had just been transformed into zombies by the evil spirits, had turned into humans in the blink of an eye, and heard their heavy wheezing voices again.

And the other four young men and women who followed the tall and thin young man Andy also had a look of surprise on their faces.

Although they just passed out suddenly for some reason, the cold and piercing feeling before losing consciousness told them that it was definitely not just a simple coma.

And why did this mysterious male spellcaster appear here?

Because Zhao Xu used a spell on the evil spirit, the spell on the invisible ring became invalid on the spot, and his figure also appeared in front of everyone.

He gently pinned the "protective staff" he had just cast back to his waist, and then lifted the "time travel talisman", and sure enough, after using the only ability of the day, the sand of the small hourglass at the bottom of the amulet was sucked back into the mouth of the bottle, and the fine sand was slowly flowing downward.

Until tomorrow arrives, that is, before all this fine sand flows to the next bottle, the power of this amulet cannot be restored.

At this time, Zhao Xu also realized the powerful power of the "Expulsion Technique" of the "Protective Staff", and with the blessing of the level 20 caster, basically for these otherworldly creatures, they will expel whoever they see.

Compared to the original "secondary spell invalidation enchantment", there are too many initiatives.

Destroying the enemy is the most powerful means of defense.

"Andy, what's going on? What just happened to us? The slightly chubby young man at the beginning asked directly.

Zhao Xu also stared at the tall and thin young man Andy at this time, waiting for the other party's answer.

I saw Andy suddenly kneeling down with his head in his hands, he had tears on his face, and cried: "I don't know what's going on, just now, after the spirit said that he wanted my friend as a sacrifice, you fell directly to the ground and died." ”

"Then I told it that I wanted you to come back, and then it agreed, but you turned into zombies and stood up, and then said that Lisa and the others would also become like this, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it would be like this."

The man, Andy, sat slumped on the gravel floor, leaning against the black sack that had been used as a sacrifice to hold the animal, and the original black-covered book was scattered all around.

The impact in just six seconds hit him deeply, and even he said this with a choked tone.

At this time, the four young men who came with Andy were all terribly white, and they all had frightened expressions.

They didn't expect that they would come back from a walk between life and death.

Just listening to Andy's words, it should be that they have now turned into that evil undead creature, how can they still recover and become humans?

This means of reconverting the undead into humans is exactly what they are pursuing in tonight's ritual – resurrection.

At this time, the four of them couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu, as if they understood something.

After her emotions calmed down, the freckled woman asked Zhao Xu, "This spellcaster, did you prevent this disaster and save us?" ”

Zhao Xu saw the other party and straightened out his thoughts three or two times, and sure enough, the students of the civilian college that specialized in cultivating civil servants in Arthur were different, and it also saved him from having to waste his tongue again.

"Well, just now, that evil spirit, after harvesting your lives, directly turned you all into undead creatures, and I used a spell to reverse this disaster."

Zhao Xu said lightly.

After hearing Zhao Xu's answer, those people officially confirmed that they had indeed been pulled back from the realm of the dead, and they all fell into a state of loss for a while.

The young men and women in front of them were all first-level civilians or scholars who were only killed, and their health was basically below 10HP, so it was not surprising that they were directly killed by that evil spirit.

The effect of creating undead creatures that the opponent casts later is not a spell with a high ring.

For example, the priest's magic "manipulating dead corpses" can achieve this effect, and basically the life dice of low-level zombies are only 1HD.

That spell can manipulate zombies or skeletons with four times the caster level HD, and by the time Zhao Xu is level 6, he has a level 7 caster level at that time, and as long as there are enough corpses, he can manipulate a full team of 28 zombies.

So in many places, waves of the undead broke out, and graves in the countryside were dug up, mostly by these evil priests or mages.

The Good Priest is unable to unleash this evil spell, and most of the residents of Arthur have little access to the Evil Priest, although the infamy of the undead disaster mostly falls on the mage.

"We are truly grateful to you for your rescue, Mr. Great Spellcaster, my father is a clerk in the Mystra Chamber, and if you don't mind, I would like to beg you to pay a visit to my house so that my family may thank you." The slightly chubby young man came back to his senses at this time and was busy thanking Zhao Xu.

Several other people also showed grateful looks towards Zhao Xu, and Andy, who presided over the ceremony, also shook his senses and hurriedly crawled towards Zhao Xu, glad that the other party had saved the tragedy.

Zhao Xu looked at the other party and knelt down respectfully in front of him.

For a while, he remembered that he had been a justice magistrate, and those ordinary villagers could only express their gratitude to themselves with this kind of etiquette towards the gods.

He was a little lonely in his heart, and pointed out a few people, "There is no need for invitations." It's this ritual that summons evil otherworldly creatures, and you haven't learned the details in the future, so don't touch this summoning. ”

Although he was not sure if the summoning ritual was directed to the devil and demons, after all, they were the best at seducing and deceiving the souls of the inhabitants of Arthur on the main material plane.

However, he could very well that the spirit body possessed by the otherworldly creature was not strong, but this kind of ritual that ordinary people could perform was too dangerous after all.

Even a group of mages are prepared when they summon entities from otherworldly creatures, which is why mages have specially developed the "Otherworldly Oath" spell that can deal with otherworldly creatures.

With the sense of happiness for the rest of their lives after the holiday slowly faded, the five people with good family conditions and education slowly became clear-minded.

At great cost, even at the cost of their own lives, they were unable to resurrect Lisa from that evil otherworldly creature.

But although the face in front of them was not clear, whether it was the voice or the demeanor that was completely similar to theirs, it could resurrect them from the perspective of the dead.

Born in Mystra, they reacted immediately, didn't it mean that the caster in front of them was actually a priest who could cast the five-ring magic "resurrection of the dead"?

Thinking of this, the faces of several of them became more and more pale.

Performing evil rituals in vain and being stopped by the priest of the good god, this matter will not be easily revealed.

If they could do it openly, they wouldn't have to come to this kind of grave wasteland so remote from Mystra.

"My lord, are you a priest?" The freckled woman asked in a low voice, with a look of horror on her face.

She already imagined that she would be expelled from school the next day, and that her family would be humiliated by her.

"Well, I'm the priest of the Goddess of Magic, and you can call me 'Wind'." Zhao Xu said softly, while pinning the holy emblem that Archbishop Sosi gave him to his chest.

And the layman may not understand that these people from Mistra almost turned black when they saw the holy emblem shining with a special glow under the torch of this badge.

Although the emblem is still the style of the probationary priest, its edges are engraved with a new bauhinia flower spike pattern.

This is the coat of arms of the diocesan archbishop, the highest patriarch of every church.

Above that, there is the cardinal class at the top of the Church that rules the entire diocese.

The emblem of the goddess will only shine for those it recognizes.

An ordinary person, even if he picks up the Holy Father's emblem and pins it to his chest, will only be dim.

This is also the reason why pastors never have to be afraid of being replaced.

The five of them were a little relieved when they heard that the other party was indeed a goddess priest, after all, they were not jealous gods like the god of justice and punishment.

But after seeing the archbishop-level badge of the other party, the original hot mind was half cold.

The archbishop of a goddess doesn't even have to do it himself, as long as he speaks, all the information and various ins and outs of their family will be sent to each other's table.

Therefore, they will not be able to escape.

And at this time, the slightly fat man with the best family status among the five people said in a somewhat trembling tone: "The fifth-level divine technique 'Resurrection of the Dead' cannot resurrect undead creatures......

The faces of the five suddenly changed again.

The resurrection of the dead cannot resurrect undead creatures, as well as people killed by instantaneous death spells.

That is to say, I thought that the person in front of him had at least used the seventh-level divine technique "Resurrection Technique" to save them.

The spell material is a diamond worth 10,000 gold coins and a handful of holy water.

And it's four seventh-level divine techniques in a row!

Suddenly, the five of them were a little dizzy, and their eyes were full of reverence when they looked at the mysterious priest in front of them.

This proves that the mysterious man in front of him is not accumulated by years of merit, but is the kind of priest who is deeply favored by God and is in a high position.

The five of them also knew at this time that they might have met a future candidate for "cardinal".

Characters of this level, not to mention Mystra, even if they are placed in the whole of Arthur, they are all big people who are in the sky, and they are all equal or even higher status in the face of kings and lords.

Seeing that everyone looked stunned for some reason, as if he had just cast a confusion control spell.

Zhao Xu also tried his best to show a kind expression, "Can you hand me that black book?" ”
