The Truth of Magic

Chapter 340 Trading

"Lei An"'s rhetorical question directly made Zhao Xu's hair stand on end, like looking at a mirror in the middle of the night, only to find that the person in the "mirror" was acting differently from himself.

Zhao Xu directly activated the communication ability of "Mind Link" in his heart, and constantly conveyed information to Lei An.

He needs to judge at what moment Leian was switched.

Was it the moment the other party returned to the classroom?

It was just at the moment when he almost tripped over the elevator door.

This is related to whether others know that something happened to him.

If Lei An was a fake from the moment he returned to the classroom, Zhao Xu might have to take a gamble and commit suicide besides his deep sense of fear.

And if it has just been swapped, then all hope is still there.

After some feedback, Zhao Xu didn't get any echo in his heart, and the pretender beside him didn't mock him for unnecessary actions.

This somewhat relieved him.

At this time, in the alchemy elevator, there are metal mirrors compacted with thick forged steel plates all around, vaguely reflecting the figures of the two of them.

But now it seemed that Lei An, who was originally about the same height as Zhao Xu, seemed to have a pair of bat wings behind him in the reflection, and at the same time, the floor numbers on the panel were directly stuck and did not change.

Zhao Xu also couldn't feel the weightlessness of the descent.

He and a creature disguised as "Leian" were trapped in a confined space like this.

Even Zhao Xu doubted that this was the alchemy elevator he came in in the first place.

"Let me introduce myself first." The person beside Zhao Xu said in an elegant tone: "I have many titles, but for the sake of convenience, you should call me the immortal Wu'an Lord 'Grazt'."

Hearing the last syllable, Zhao Xu, who had already felt a little familiar the moment the other party spoke, was even more sure.

He turned his head at this time, and saw that Leian's original unrestrained face had blurred into another face, with sharp edges and corners, with a sense of handsomeness that penetrated the soul, and at the same time exuded an irresistible darkness charm.

Although its skin looks a bit dark, its eyes are shining with a strange green light, and its sharpened ears and protruding yellowish fangs further demonstrate its identity as a demon race.

"projection?"

Having reached this point, Zhao Xu's mind is calm.

He didn't expect that the demon lord who had always wanted to conquer other layers of the abyss, the "Grazit" who became the sole lord, would come to Mystra's "Sacred Heart Cathedral" so rashly.

The original "succubus priest" can also be described as an act of private provocation.

Now this kind of door-to-door visit is just a push on the nose and face, and it is not an exaggeration to trigger a battle of gods.

Zhao Xu, who had already consumed the "Time Retrospective Talisman" and could not be teleported to other places, thought about more than a dozen thoughts in his mind, and decided to make a fool of himself with the abyss lord first.

Instead of rashly using the "super magic instant scepter" in his hand to directly stimulate the "gasification form" to take a gamble, see if he can escape by the "vent" of the alchemy elevator.

"Heh, is it important?" Grazte suddenly said in a strange tone, "Especially for you now."

"Then you paid your succubus priest followers, not just to chat with me here?" Zhao Xu immediately changed the subject, trying to bring the initiative back.

"Oh, it seems that you have also realized it. The 'Sacred Heart Cathedral' is really no better than other places. If I want to be so close to you without being disturbed, I can only let my little believer sacrifice himself and take the initiative to attack and surround you. All eyes must be drawn away.”

Graz'zt talked about his experience of actively driving his near-legendary succubus priest to die, but his tone seemed very flat.

A legendary chess piece, in the eyes of their level, is nothing more than that.

"As for me, I came here to visit you." Grazte said, "The last time you took back his wife's soul from me for that idiot, after all, I lost a legendary mage-level slave gone."

"You can figure it out." Zhao Xu wasn't agitated at all, and his mentality continued to remain calm, and he didn't try to correct the fact that Frank himself was only nine rings.

On the contrary, he is very clear.

As long as Leian is not subdued, it is only a matter of time before he finally finds this mysterious space.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had noticed that the steel plate of the alchemy elevator had begun to twist like waves.

Obviously, it's not just the mysterious force distorting, but this space is starting to become blurred.

In other words, he might not be in Mystra anymore.

This point was roughly judged from the fact that Zhao Xu did not get the echo of Lei An's "Spiritual Link" from the very beginning.

Mind link is a five-ring spell that can communicate in groups, and Zhao Xu's third ring can already cast the "one-on-one" secondary soul link.

The spell itself can span all distances, far and wide.

Only, it is impossible to cross planes.

If you want to make this kind of cross-plane call, you have to use the sixth ring "Larry's otherworldly mind link".

Unlike Antinoya, Leian can use "potential points" to restore his own spell slots at any time. Naturally, he casts spells according to his needs. If he can save one ring, he won't increase one.

"You don't think it's such an easy thing to successfully recapture the soul from a great abyss lord, right?" Grazte continued to say in a proud tone.

At this moment, it had turned around and looked directly at Zhao Xu.

And Zhao Xu knew what the other party said, so in order to let the other party fulfill his promise, he performed five miracles in a row, using the magic spell of "Spiritual Goddess" Artoria to attract the divine power of the goddess Overwhelm each other.

This is also the reason why he received his million-dollar Necromancer Staff and Mithril Crystal with peace of mind.

While completing the task, it also bears the cause and effect.

"Then you're going to kill me here to get revenge?" Zhao Xu asked back.

After all, the original agreement between him and "Grazit" was only to guarantee that the other party must return the soul of the wife of Frank, the emerald star master.

As for whether the other party can't continue to fight, or even various treaties that can't continue to pursue, there is no detailed agreement.

For the devil, tearing up the treaty is a matter of an instant, and no matter how much Graz'zt is like a "devil" who obeys order, he can't change his own "chaos" camp.

So Zhao Xu never thought that he got his soul back by guessing the identity of the other party.

"That's not the case, and for you players who are projected, they are similar to our Tanari family. They can be resurrected after death. So it doesn't make much sense for me to take your life."

"But, mortal." Graz'zt, the abyss lord, suddenly became serious.

"Are you so satisfied with your current status as a third-ring mage? Feeling that you are much better than other players, and you are starting to be complacent?"

"You don't want to become stronger? Possess monstrous wealth? And occupy thousands of miles of territory and become Arthur's master?" Graz'zt's tone hinted.

Even if players like Zhao Xu had the protection of the gods and were immune to all mind-affecting spells, they still did not damage Graz'zt's own "bluff," "intimidation," and "negotiation" skills.

Just a few plain lines, under the blessing of the other party's powerful skills, it seems that the words themselves have mysterious magic power, and they got into his ears and scratched into his heart little by little.

In Zhao Xu's mind, he began to outline a scene he had imagined in his previous life.

He finally understood that the same words would have different effects as long as they were spoken by different people.

"Don't you want to let you rule your life? Our abyss family will never leave the abyss after all. We just need Arthur to appear as our agent, a great existence who can manifest our will."

"You want to buy me?" Zhao Xu asked back at this moment.

Although he didn't know why Grazte was uncharacteristically different from the beginning, as if to lure himself to accept the "gift" from the other party.

But why did he become a "sweet pastry" again?

Wherever you go, there are people to please and give gifts?

"Mr. Grazte, sorry, I am the priest of the goddess." Zhao Xu refused righteously at this time.

There have never been rare transactions between mages, demons and devils.

In fact, there are unlucky people like Frank, but it is not the norm after all.

After all, most ordinary mages trade with ordinary demons or devils, that's all. Barlow's flame demon, deep hell demon, and six-armed snake demon can all be said to be ceiling-like.

Many of these demons and devils slowly climbed up from the bottom have experienced thousands of years of suffering. Among them, there are not a few collections of spell notes and arcane treasures, which can often provide some tempting deals for mages.

As long as Frank, who has reached the level of Grazte, can be ruthless, give up his wife's soul and let her become a demon.

Before signing the actual contract, Graz'zt was not very good at dealing with the Nine-ring mage.

It's not that Graz'zt's strength is untouchable, but that it projects its power to Arthur's world to conquer a nine-ring mage.

The price he paid was far higher than what he had harvested or killed a Nine Ring Mage.

That's why Zhao Xu didn't dare to act rashly.

In order to meet him here, Graz'zt had paid more than the price he had paid for "Frank"'s soul.

Grazte, on the other hand, couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Goddess Priest Zhao Xu's lines.

At this time, an endless black mist filled behind him, and a deep and bright light of divine power began to emerge from it.

"If you give up that priesthood, I can give you a legend."
