"Sir, why don't I go to the neighbors and ask first?" Seeing Zhao Xu frowning, Eliton hurriedly gave his own suggestion, "Because there are too many fallen leaves on the path in the garden, it seems that there has been no one for a while, maybe they have gone far away." ”

"Nope." Zhao Xu shook his head, "Approaching the breakthrough promotion, no matter how irresponsible parents are, they will not let their children go far away." ”

Unless it has been unable to break through for many years, it will choose to go out and try the opportunity.

Otherwise, most people are honest and stay in a place where they can ask for advice and help in time, and it is safest to break through in that way.

In fact, even if Zhao Xu and his group of players succeed in advancing to level 1 mage, it is worth going to the forum to post a celebration, and then usher in a wave of congratulations and the envy of the mage apprentice.

Two or three months after the start of the service, this behavior is also not outdated.

And the Arthurs became mages, and it was even more difficult.

Even a family of talented mages will set up a banquet to entertain their relatives and friends after their descendants become mages.

The emphasis on mages is one of the reasons why this area of Mystra has become the most developed place for magical civilization.

Eliton looked at Zhao Xu and looked at the height of the iron gate of Peter's house, thinking that the other party was going to climb over, and hurriedly said, "Sir, if you want to turn over, it's better for me to do it, your identity is not suitable." ”

As he spoke, he also looked around the streets and alleys to see if there were any patrolling sentinels.

"What do you think?" Zhao Xu looked at Eliton, this kid shouldn't be addicted to crime.

Zhao Xu instantly glanced at the spell bits on his body, which were basically quite complete.

The Mage Four Rings are also the Poet Three Rings' Detective Technique, which allows him to directly perceive Peter's situation when he has a certain amount of information.

However, Zhao Xu is not yet level 6, and he can't release the three-ring magic technique, so naturally he didn't cast the magic version of the poet's spell.

He chose to secretly check if there was anyone in the room.

Sanhuan's "Eagle Eye Technique" can do this for him.

Eagle Eye and Sharp Ear, as the best of the three-ring prophecy (detection) spells, are not garbage spells on paper to enhance his vision or hearing.

Instead, he can directly arrange a magic induction field in a designated place at a distance of about 200 meters from his caster level.

He doesn't even have to see that place, as long as he knows the specific coordinates or understands the place in his heart.

If the obelisk didn't block the detection spell, Zhao Xu wouldn't have to go into the tower to cast a spell and use this spell to spy on the situation in Antinoya's office.

Therefore, the means of shielding the detection system have also become the standard configuration of some hidden places. Like many mage guilds, there are similar rooms for confidential conversations.

Naturally, Zhao Xu was not good at directly using the spell of "Eagle Eye Technique" to peek into the situation of his student Peter.

If it weren't even for the fact that he couldn't let go of his sexual suspicions, he should have turned around and left at this time and waited for the next visit.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu decided to settle for the next best.

He directly pulled up the cuffs of his coat, freed his hand, and directly used the professional ability of a "multi-talented spellcaster".

Immediately, Zhao Xu's two second-ring spell positions fused into the "sharp ear technique" of the third ring in his hand, and by the way, he avoided a casting time of up to 10 minutes.

Zhao Xu, who had no intention of peeping, also decided, as long as he couldn't hear the breathing of someone in the room, then he would turn his head and leave.

And Eriton noticed that Zhao Xu was casting a spell, so he stood quietly beside him, guarding against the anomalies around him.

As Zhao Xu's spell was released, an invisible and traceless magical energy flew directly into the house, ignoring any blocking walls.

Then an invisible magic sensing field spread out at the location chosen by Zhao Xu, and began to follow Zhao Xu's will to collect the sound information in the room.

Eliton noticed that Zhao Xu's face had become a little weird, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Mr. Midsummer, what's wrong?" ”

"It's weird, it's the sound of dripping water." Zhao Xu felt a little surprised.

"And heavy breathing?"

"But there was no moaning."

Zhao Xu's face became a little wrong.

It's just that at the same time, Eliton also looked at Zhao Xu with a strange face.

And Zhao Xu had no time to pay attention, and hurriedly called his Soul Prisoner Demon to come over.

If the evil undead creature "Soul Prisoner" dares to show its head in the open in Mystra, it will be directly killed by the passing spell guards, and then take it to receive the reward.

Fortunately, the Soul Prisoner Demon itself is a cross-dimensional otherworldly creature, and its usual habit is to hide in the "Spirit Realm" or "Star Realm" to follow travelers, waiting for the Yin people at any time.

Therefore, the Soul Prisoner Demon usually hibernates, and when Zhao Xu has an order, he rushes over from other spirit realms or astral planes, which are intertwined with the main material plane, and then appears in the main material plane.

In fact, after Zhao Xu got the "Death Godhead Fragment", he already understood that the legendary necromantic staff in his hand had become a little different.

For example, the original six-ring spell "Advanced Awakening Necromancy" was originally just to create high-level undead creatures, and he still had to go through a command process, and the spell itself could only be released at night.

But that day, in the hands of the mutant staff of necromancy, none of that was a problem.

This also made Zhao Xu a little suspicious that the fragment of the Death Godhead in his hand would just be combined with this Necromancer Staff and evolve towards the artifact route.

In the end, it became the real first artifact in Zhao Xu's hands.

Instead of being like Lux, who has been in a state of death lately, unable to respond to his calls.

"Supervisor, then I'll go find the patrolman." Eliton said nervously.

The essence of Mystra's "spell guards" is to deal with the same mages, and most of the disputes of ordinary people are resolved by the Security Department.

It's just that Zhao Xu shook his head, "It is estimated that calling them to come will also be sent to death, and it will be too late to wait." ”

It was as if the mysterious sound of breathing had sensed him, and then it magically held its breath and disappeared.

Only the sound of water droplets still flowed quietly, falling to the ground and reverberating.

Zhao Xu silently pinned a "Rosaceic" "Senior Inspector" badge.

With this identity, even if he forcibly broke into the mage family, he would not be held accountable, let alone just an ordinary private house.

"Will you pick the lock?" Zhao Xu asked tentatively.

Eliton immediately shook his head.

However, after he saw Zhao Xu turn his head back, he thought that the other party was disappointed in him, and hurriedly said, "Sir, I will learn this skill when I go back." ”

"No, our mages can use spells to pick locks."

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, the spell that he had already memorized in his heart immediately came out casually.

He waved the scepter in his hand and struck lightly against the bolt of the iron gate.

I saw that the gate shook suddenly, and the original lock seemed to be flicked by an invisible hand, and the lock cylinder was directly rotated and untied.

At the same time, the latch on the bolt also automatically rebounded back to its original position, and in this way, an iron gate that could only be broken and opened by brute force was opened by Zhao Xu with a two-ring spell "percussion".

When Eliton saw this, he lowered his head.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu asked.

"No, I just remember that when I was a child, my toy box was locked, and that person opened it for me like this." Eliton said with a hint of weakness in his tone, his fists clenched tightly.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he only sighed lightly.

"The front may give you bad memories, or you don't go in."

"Sir, please let me follow your left and right." Eliton already understood the meaning of Zhao Xu's words at this time, but he still mustered up his courage.

"Then come in."

Zhao Xu had already walked through the garden in front of him at this time, and walked to the mahogany door of the house, and the family crest pattern carved on it could still be seen to be extremely exquisite carpentry skills.

Zhao Xu continued to use the scepter in his hand to open the wooden door in front of him, accompanied by the third babbling sound he heard today.

However, what met his eyes was a bright red, as if they had strayed into a bloody killing battlefield.

The strong pungent smell suddenly lingered, making Eliton's face behind Zhao Xu directly turn extremely pale, as if recalling the unforgettable nightmare he had suffered more than ten years ago.

It's just that when he encountered this scene, he could only grit his teeth and pinch his thighs hard. He knew that the moment he came in, Zhao Xu's test for him was also going on. Because he took the initiative to give up the choice of other assessment methods.

He could only refrain and stare wide-eyed at the still cruel world ahead.

Above the hall where the original pendant was lavishly lit, several corpses that were already indistinguishable were also hanging at this time, swaying slowly even if there was no wind.

The dripping sound that Zhao Xu heard was from them.

And on the blood stain condensed by the dripping material below, stood a man, or rather a male creature.

Black scales had grown on his exposed skin, and even half of his face was covered. Only the scales on the neck fell off a bit, revealing the bright red, disgusting, rotting flesh inside.

The man's eyes were red, and he looked at Zhao Xu and the two with extremely fierce killing intent, a pair of bat-like wings that were as black as if they had been charred kept opening and closing behind his back.

"Peter, Peter, how did he become a demon?" Eliton exclaimed, covering his mouth, that he had noticed the horns rising above Peter's head.

"It's a half-purgatory creature." Zhao Xu said indifferently, "Good people are not right, so they have to take this kind of fork in the road." ”

After saying that, Zhao Xu snapped his fingers lightly and lifted his illusion.

Suddenly, the cashmere coat he was wearing disappeared directly.

Instead, a cloak with a sparkling starlight trail was draped over his shoulders and fluttered with the wind.

Peter, who had already turned into a semi-purgatory creature, also roared and sprinted towards Zhao Xu at this time.
