The Truth of Magic

Chapter 330 The Eternal Life of Alien Creatures

"Is there a problem?" The middle-aged pastor Gotha gave Zhao Xu a surprised look, thinking that the other party found something wrong.

"No, it's just that I suddenly remembered an old friend. Today is the day when she becomes a trainee pastor, so I suddenly feel a little emotional." Zhao Xu said.

When the middle-aged priest Gotha heard these words, his thoughts changed instantly.

In terms of worshiping the goddess and abiding by the teachings, he dare not be called the forefront of his peers, but he will never lag behind others. This can be imagined from the fact that he was selected to join the ordinary emergency response team of the "Rosie Crucifix", and he can also become the captain.

But Gotha also knows that if there is no other opportunity in the future, it is unlikely that he will continue to break through and reach the five-ring priest standard that can be appointed as the archbishop of churches in other regions.

It's not that he's not religious enough, it's that everyone is too religious.

As long as there is no problem with the brain, in a world that can witness the great power of the gods, unless they have other channels of ability, they will obediently kneel down and serve the gods.

Even when the ancient gods were not manifested, even if there were no gods, they had to create the image of gods.

The mages rely on the invisible magic net to obtain spell slots, and they can be more self-confident.

And these priests, basically all the magic comes from the goddess.

Therefore, each priest is completely meticulous in his belief and worship of the gods, without any discount, which also forms an endless loop.

If there is no chance, it is really difficult for the gods to pay a little more attention to themselves simply by relying on daily morning prayers and evening prayers.

And Gotha knows that sometimes it is possible to find another way.

Such as the "Senior Inspector" mage in front of him is his shortcut.

The opponent's power is enough to help him.

Perhaps, this is also a hint from the other party to himself. Because Goda took the initiative to ask questions throughout the whole process, and the other party answered.

After several thoughts raced through his mind, Gotha hurriedly whispered: "Mr. Inspector, I happen to be in charge of the training of trainee pastors at the church."

"As long as you tell me his name, I can give some doctrinal explanations to your old man within my ability, as long as you don't dislike my little knowledge."

After careful consideration, Gotha still said these words with a cheeky face.

"Thank you for your concern, Pastor Gotha. I will trouble you if necessary." Hearing this, Zhao Xu politely thanked the other party.

It was hard for these pastors to speak so politely. The explanation of the doctrine was actually to hint to Zhao Xu that he could help Zheng Xinyun within the limits of the bottom line.

But for this situation, Zhao Xu also understood and was not surprised.

After all, this world can't just be a simple killing of monsters. As long as he intervenes in this society, he will meet different people asking for mercy.

Because of his power, others will flatter him and make various arrangements for him.

In his previous life, he was a sheriff in a small town, and he also had to face the political ecological environment at his level.

And the rogue who understands this point secretly laughs at himself, the captain, who finally knows how to speak. On the other hand, the paladin, who was standing on his body holding a long sword, was still meticulously vigilant about the situation inside the door, and didn't care about their discussions at all.

Elleton was still wondering why the middle-aged pastor suddenly brought up this topic, but after thinking about it slowly, he gradually understood.

It also made his heart start beating.

If he had been sitting in the classroom and studying at ease like before, then he would not be able to get in touch with these things at all.

But just by following his mysterious class guide, he directly witnessed a tragedy, and at the same time came into contact with Mystra's extraordinary power.

The "Rose Cross" troops, which are more mysterious than the city guards' magic guards, are almost adjacent to him, and they are ready to enter the exploration together.

"ah--"

At this moment, the wooden door that was originally closed had been pushed open by the rogue, and the bloody scene in the hall immediately caught everyone's eyes.

Even though this team code-named "Zhukong" has seen many storms, seeing this scene is a bit unacceptable.

After taking a deep breath, Elleton also began to tell about everything they encountered after entering the room.

When Zhao Xu has a direct younger brother who can command, he can also save trouble and only supplement the other side in the minor parts.

"Expert, follow me to take a look." Pastor Gotha said to the player behind him, a burly man with a beard.

The expert pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, and walked forward with a tool bag containing knives and pliers.

He is the only support job in this team. However, he mainly specializes in professions (physicians), professions (coroners), and crafts (anatomy), medical treatment, etc.

Usually he is doing his own research in the autopsy department of the Police Department, and sometimes cooperates with the investigation at the scene of the crime. Today, he happened to be on duty in the team, so he came out with everyone.

At this time, Elleton also held his breath, trying to suppress his previous fear, and walked towards the inside step by step with trembling feet.

Zhao Xu gently pressed his shoulder, but Elton broke free immediately.

Then he looked at Zhao Xu embarrassedly, "Sir, I can overcome it."

As he spoke, he took another deep breath, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be qualified to follow you, sir."

The badge of the "Rose Cross" senior inspector that Zhao Xu gave him just now had already made him understand that the mage in front of him must be a big shot in Mystra, or a direct subordinate of a big shot.

Only this kind of strong man can help him take revenge, and he also needs to prove his worth to the other party. Although he was also very moved from the bottom of his heart, this gentleman can still care about himself to this extent.

However, Zhao Xu interrupted the other party's thinking lightly, "Before you can cast spells, stand obediently behind me. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you if you die."

This remark made everyone in the air-chasing team standing beside him feel embarrassed, as if a crow flew by.

But after hearing Zhao Xu's reminder, everyone immediately focused on observing the movement ahead.

Everyone realized that if the inspector didn't rush to explore first, the movement in the house itself might be unusual.

The 4th-level paladin stepped forward slightly. He was wearing a gleaming full-body armor, with only gaps exposed at the joints and the sight of the helmet. At the same time, a heavy steel shield was fixed on his arm to resist possible attacks from the front. Only one right hand was left holding a fine-made long sword and confronting the void.

For the current players, being able to mix with the paladin's equipment at the third and fourth levels is basically content. As for the back, it is to slowly replace the armor, weapons, and shields on the body with magic equipment.

At that time, everyone will have to slowly climb from "+1" magic equipment to "+5" magic equipment.

The road to upgrade equipment is itself endless.

"There is nothing unusual about it. He was hanged first, and then wounds were left on the body." The coroner expert said with a heavy stomach.

This case is probably the most shocking one he has received recently, especially after he understands the relationship between "Peter" who is being controlled outside and these dead people.

There is no doubt that by tomorrow the case will be known in the streets.

"What kind of rituals are these?" The middle-aged priest walked over to Peter, who had turned into a semi-purgatory creature, and asked.

The sound of dripping water that Zhao Xu heard before was dripping from the open wounds of these corpses.

"Hmph." But Peter turned his head contemptuously, ignoring the other party's question at all.

This made the paladin look annoyed, and put his long sword on the opponent's neck, "You scum who killed your own parents, I will purify you sooner or later."

The paladin looked quite young, and the veins in his wrist holding the long sword were already bulging. If it wasn't for his control, the sword would have been cut off long ago.

"When did you find out that you would be transformed into a semi-purgatory creature?" Zhao Xu asked suddenly.

But Peter still pursed his lips, ignoring his inquiry.

"You gave up the awakening ceremony before, evading it because of psychological barriers. I'm afraid you know that after sitting on the throne, the things displayed by the Arcane Throne will expose you, right? For example, summoning demons?" Zhao Xu continued to analyze. .

Elleton also showed envy when he heard the name of "Throne of Offa". That position can be said to be the dream position of all school-age youths in Mystra.

"Since you were able to enter the school and show your talent, it means that you didn't know that you would become the half-human, half-demon form you are now. And the floating city itself is under closed management. Just check the candidates you have contacted within a year." Zhao Xu continued to analyze.

At this moment, Peter's face finally changed a little, but he still restrained himself, trying to stay calm.

"And judging by the domineering expression on your face, I'm afraid you also voluntarily became a semi-purgatory creature." Zhao Xu turned his head slightly and looked at the ruthlessly swinging wall clock in the corner. The time on it was ticking every minute and every second. fade away.

"Sir, besides those powerful places, are there any other semi-purgatory creatures?" Elleton asked suddenly at this moment.

"Oh, semi-purgatory creatures are alien creatures, so they will get the corresponding characteristics of alien creatures." Zhao Xu's thoughts became clear at this moment.

"One of them is eternal life."

Suddenly Zhao Xu's face changed, "Move these corpses out immediately."
