The Truth of Magic

Chapter 339 Miraculous Secret

"Say it, do I seem to be the kind of person who doesn't speak strictly? Anyway, I'm also the priest of the goddess, at least I'm more reliable than you." Zhao Xu comforted Lei An.

Leian grinned when he heard that, his words were reasonable but not very pleasant.

Originally, he didn't want to say much about it, but Zhao Xu had reacted a little faster recently and had already guessed a clue.

"Or, the goddess can't perform miracles in the Sacred Heart Cathedral?" Zhao Xu said suddenly.

"I'm going, did the goddess tell you?" Leian was startled, and almost turned his head to look at Zhao Xu.

It's just that as a liaison officer, his daily "negotiation", "intimidation", and "bluffing" skills have all been improved with magic. Naturally, this skill will be fed back immediately, allowing him to forcibly control his facial expressions.

"About a week ago, the Goddess sent an oracle to the Pope. This month, she will only send miracles when necessary. Although everyone doesn't know what's going on, but before the matter is urgent, the church will not Hastily asked for a miracle from the goddess."

"And I don't dare to disclose this news, let everyone know that the goddess is now in a state of half-sleeping."

I see.

Like before in Falling Star Lake, he invited "Miracle" as smoothly as drinking water.

Although there are reasons for him to be "God's favor". But people like the Pope, whose gods are not much weaker than him, would rather compensate him for another "resurrection" than ask for a miracle, which is a bit different in itself.

Only in the situation that Leian mentioned can everything make sense.

It's just that the more he knows, the more he worries.

"Moreover, there is another reason. The abyss and hell have been collecting information on divine power over the years, trying to attack the gods. So for events involving demons and devils, if the opponents are standing behind those few For a lord and king who is comparable to powerful divine power, he will be very cautious when performing miracles. Especially in places like temples, it is easy to resonate, and there are more traces to follow."

Zhao Xu understood this sentence.

That is to say, if it falls too much, Abyss Hell will send more pawns to obtain more information about divine power, which will put the gods at a disadvantage in high-level battles.

At this point, Zhao Xu had already pieced together the whole picture of the whole incident in his heart.

So in this hour, he only needs to run outside, hang the "succubus priest", and prevent the other party from leaving or choose other weak targets.

And one hour is also the time set by many powerful people in the church for them to hunt down the succubus priest.

Give up after more than an hour, and directly intervene with divine power.

"By the way, do you have any strong feelings from just now?" Suddenly Leian asked.

"You mean the divine power of the abyss?"

"Yeah, otherwise, you think I'm really leading you around aimlessly."

Zhao Xu replied simply, "No."

"That's strange, why did the other party deliberately pretend to be a trainee priest?" Leian was surprised.

At this time, he was leading Zhao Xu past some meditation rooms and lecture classrooms, many of which included a few low-level pastors. At this time, they didn't know what happened to the outside world.

"Is there any new information?"

"You're smart, guess what?"

If Zhao Xu's intelligence hadn't improved in the past, he would sometimes be confused when he saw problems, and he needed to sort them out a little bit.

Now, with a 22 intelligence, he basically showed all the outlines in his mind clearly one by one, allowing Zhao Xu to build and analyze the relationship between some clues.

Hearing Leian's rhetorical question, he said speechlessly, "The only one who can investigate now is that 'Peter'. Did you find out why the succubus made him a half-purgatory creature by making extra trouble?"

If the succubus was just trying to cause a commotion, then it made sense.

But the other party wants to do big business in the Sacred Heart Cathedral, so doing things like this, even if the succubus itself is a chaotic camp, doing things is illogical and unreasonable.

Because the succubus brought artifacts and abyssal divine power, it meant that it was a major event involving the abyssal lord "Grazit".

The demons are also famous for their pain of waiting for a thousand years to climb the ranks, and their intimidating power of being punished for a hundred years in the abyss after making mistakes.

No matter how brainless that succubus is, it will act in accordance with the maximization of interests in Mystra.

Leian explained at this time, "In my preliminary judgment, the method used by the other party to teleport to the clone is to consume this 'semi-purgatory creature', and it must be a 'semi-purgatory creature' that is at least a level 1 mage."

Zhao Xu nodded after listening.

This reveals one thing, the actions of the succubus are not just today.

And Peter thought he had transformed into a powerful "semi-purgatory creature", but it was actually just the fuel for the succubus priest to launch a teleportation replacement effect.

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown.

He noticed that the other party happened to be hiding in the same class as Zheng Xinyun, and he was still taking the trainee priest player route.

Explain what class Zheng Xinyun takes in the next few days, the succubus will follow him like a shadow, taking the same class together.

In the end, they would meet Zhao Xu to give them a lecture, just like the old pastor today.

Could it be that he came here specially to wait for him?

No.

Zhao Xu immediately revised his judgment.

Waiting for him, the civilian academy is a better way to ambush.

It's even enough for the other party to wait for him at Peter's house, instead of being in the most dangerous "Sacred Heart Cathedral".

At this moment, the succubus seems to be uncapturable, lurking in the church at ease.

In fact, the top management of the entire association must have mobilized many legendary mages to study and identify the succubus.

If they hadn't been misled by the intelligence of the "today" operation, acted rashly, and continued to sit on the sidelines, there would have been more than 50% chance of successfully capturing the succubus.

Or the church didn't realize that they would find the succubus so quickly and force the other party to do it.

If Zhao Xu's speculation is correct.

The succubus didn't know who it was looking for, or rather, it just wanted to wait for that "target" to appear on the trainee priest's podium.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but grip the "Legendary Necromancer Staff" tighter.

If everything is as he speculates, the succubus probably hasn't recognized that he is actually the target until now.

"Wait." Suddenly, Lei An waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

With his head down, he kept listening to the feedback from the church's senior management.

"I just discovered that the succubus appeared in the northwest corner of the church. It seems that the other party's target is not you." After a while, Leian reorganized the news he had just heard.

"Now the church has re-laid the encirclement there, and many legendary mages can rush over there. According to the deduced content now, it is estimated that they can trap the opponent for a while."

"According to this, the church has re-arranged. You should go back to a secret base nearby. There are enough Rosicrucians guarding there to ensure your safety."

"Let's go, I'll escort you to the battlefield as soon as possible." After Lei An finished speaking, he took Zhao Xu out of the building, and at the same time he directed the two followers behind him to go to support him first.

But looking at the two sorcerers leaving, Zhao Xu was still a little puzzled.

Because he noticed that the two of them were only between the sixth ring and had no absolute advantage over the succubus.

"They used to provide spell slots." Lei An understood Zhao Xu's confusion and grinned.

"The next step is to perform a legendary spell. We need these middle and high-level mages to provide spell slots and reduce the difficulty of the legendary spell."

It was the first time that Lei An showed admiration in front of Zhao Xu when he said this.

Legendary spells can be said to be unlimited spells.

Whether it is the power or the range of the spell, or even the specific form of action of the spell.

It is also the dream of mages.

It's just that legendary spells are difficult to cast, so in many cases, a bunch of assistants are needed to provide spell slots to reduce the difficulty of casting spells.

At this time, Zhao Xu and Lei An still walked to a small domed hall in the church whose walls were covered with vines and which had not been cleaned at all.

Then the two walked inside, walked over the bright red carpet to the empty second floor, Lei An led Zhao Xu to a hidden corner, and lightly tapped an empty tile .

I saw that the wall that was originally painted white suddenly rose slowly, revealing the gate of an alchemy elevator inside.

"Under the ground is our Rosary Cross garrison. It is usually responsible for guarding certain things, so the setting is relatively remote, and there are more than one entrance, but this entrance is the one closest to us."

Speaking of this, Leian directly broke the control handle on the elevator, and the sealed metal gate opened on the spot, revealing a narrow space more than one and a half meters wide.

Zhao Xu stood in first, and when he turned around, he saw that Lei An seemed to have tripped over something, staggered a bit, but walked in smoothly.

Then the elevator gate slowly closed.

At this time, Lei An and Zhao Xu were standing side by side in the alchemy elevator. They both looked at the numbers on the floor panel, and they jumped one by one, going all the way down to an unknown number of floors.

At this moment, Lei An suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhao Xu with a kind smile and said, "Do you think I look like Lei An?"
