Zhao Xu looked at the small red-painted building in front of him, and no less than a dozen conjectures had emerged in his mind.
He could basically guess the reason why Peter, a half-purgatory creature, came out on purpose. If he dared to fly into the sky, he would definitely be shot down like a target.
Only the wind can travel freely in the high sky of Mystra.
For Peter, who wants to escape, he has to look to the underground of Mystra. There is a dense and spacious sewer network there, and it is also the only place where the darkness of Mystra can escape. .
If the opponent has special means to block detection, as long as they break out of Mystra before the pursuit comes, they will have a chance of survival.
According to Peter's guess, the "procedural time" between him contacting the Mystra police officers, the police arriving at the scene, collecting information and then transferring it to Rose Cross for processing is the time the other party wants to fight for.
And if the other party rashly fights with him, unless he can forcefully defeat him, otherwise the fluctuations caused by the city guards will only shorten this period of time.
Instead, if you allow yourself to report the crime, and then follow the procedures according to the procedures, you will be able to delay it even longer.
At the very least, he would have to explain his suspicion to the police department first.
In fact, if he hadn't appeared rashly, Peter might have been able to slowly clean up the entire scene and finally escape by disguise.
The brutal torture and killing that took place in the living room made Zhao Xu also suspect that there was a special ritual inside, and it was no longer just a case of break-in and theft as he had mistakenly thought at first.
So Zhao Xu didn't rush into the house at this moment, but was just on guard outside.
Once any strange creature breaks into the house, he will take action boldly.
As for "Peter" who was pressed to the ground and held tightly, he no longer cared much.
With just a dozen or so of the opponent's strength, it is basically impossible to break free from the control of the soul-prisoning demon with nearly 30 strength.
Moreover, the soul-capturing demon itself has dark vision. It is impossible for Peter, who is of normal intelligence, not to know that. Just because the other party is still casting spells like this actually means that he can only act as a doctor.
In other words, spell-like spells do not require action components.
As for other possibilities, even if Peter finds another way to become a first-level mage.
When he is caught and unable to cast, he will definitely not be able to cast it because most spells require action postures.
In the previous life, the main way for warriors like Zhao Xu to defeat first- and second-level mages was to suppress the opponent by grabbing and preventing them from casting spells.
In the end, Eliton took Zhao Xu's "Senior Inspector" badge and immediately skipped a series of procedures. A whole team of twelve "Rose Cross" members rushed over, followed by others. of security personnel.
Unlike the Mystra City Guard's "Spell Guard" system, which is all mages, the members of Rose Cross are mainly mages and priests, with other corresponding professions, and their combat power levels range from level 3 to level 20. have.
At this moment, according to the situation described by Eliton, the team was led by a middle-aged priest of level 5. Most of his team members were around level 3 or 4, which was enough to deal with ordinary situations.
This is also the rapid response team that Rose Cross maintains in Mystra, so that they can intervene immediately when evil alien creatures appear. At the same time, they are also equipped with various magic items for emergency call support.
There was once an example of a low-level team that was under the control of the nearly legendary and powerful demon "Barlow Balrog" and relied on magic items to survive until a high-level mage priest came to support after a few rounds.
At this time, Mystra's security personnel were blocking the scene on the outside. Most of them were only at level 1 and could only perform a formal blockade.
When the Rosicrucian priest team rushed over, they also noticed a scene at the scene. A soul-capturing demon was suppressing a human who had transformed into a semi-purgatory creature.
To put it mildly, it’s dog bites dog.
Although they roughly guessed what happened, most of the people in the team couldn't help but frown when they saw the undead creature Soul Capture Demon.
Half of their usual business is to exterminate these undead creatures.
While frowning, everyone in the team also looked at Zhao Xu's figure.
Being able to control a "Soul Prisoner" with a challenge level of 11 means that the other party is a powerful mage.
In the city of Mystra, a powerful mage can be abbreviated as a strong one, also known as a person in power.
Zhao Xu didn't waste any time. He communicated with the middle-aged priest on the spot and clarified the command relationship between the two parties.
When the priest team and others knew that Zhao Xu was the owner of the badge and the "senior inspector" of their organization, they all stood in awe.
"First use tools to tie up the half-purgatory creature." Zhao Xu arranged.
As a commander, the most convenient thing is that he no longer needs to do many things personally, he only needs to arrange them.
After hearing Zhao Xu's arrangements, four people, mainly soldiers, who were responsible for controlling the enemy after the war, also stepped forward.
The ranger directly took out a rusty iron ball with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters and threw it at Peter, who had become stronger.
Peter, who had been tightly controlled, could not move or dodge at all, and just watched the iron ball hit him hard.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu immediately waved his hand to signal the soul-prisoning demon.
The soul-capturing demon immediately released its arms like giant claws of a crab, and its entire body retreated step by step, slowly disappearing and returning to its original spiritual world.
But Peter thought that there was a problem with the other party's connection, so he hurriedly spread his wings and planned to fly away at low altitude.
When he rushed out at first, he didn't dare to fly in order to cover up others' eyes.
But now I can't care about that much anymore.
However, the rusty iron ball that hit him without injuring him swung the wire behind him and directly wrapped tightly around Peter's body.
Every time Peter tried to struggle, he felt the deep pressure from the wire, which penetrated one after another, causing him to fall to the ground like a rice dumpling again, unable to move.
He could only roar and open his mouth wide, as if he wanted to bite something, but he was unable to do anything.
"Sir, is this?" Eliton exclaimed, some kind of guess already popping up in his mind.
"That's right, Bi Laruo tied the immortal rope." Zhao Xu said.
The Bilaro Binding Immortal Rope is a magic item that can automatically bind the enemy. With more than 20,000 gold coins, it can automatically bind the enemy as long as it is thrown into it.
And if you want to break free from it, you have to pass a strength test of at least thirty levels of difficulty. Generally there is no strength above 30, and there is no chance at all.
Of course, most people rely more on their own agility and the "escape" skills they practice to escape. The difficulty of escape is also close to 30 levels. It's just that Peter didn't break free from the grasp at the beginning, so naturally he couldn't use his escape skills to break free from the rope.
"Actually, wouldn't it be the same with shackles?" Eliton thought with a frown.
"You are the only one who is smart." Zhao Xu said, "Your shackles can only fix your feet or hands, but the opponent still has wings. And in that case, his movements are only limited, not incapable of movement."
"The most important thing is that as long as the iron ball tied with the immortal rope is thrown, it will take effect directly."
At this time, the warrior who specialized in grappling lowered his body and checked that there was nothing wrong with the Immortal Binding Rope before he felt relieved.
He whispered to the other companions, "That adult looked too young, and he just got the senior inspector badge. I don't know if I can become a trainee inspector when I retire, and then I will be a junior inspector." I can’t even think about it.”
The ranger who had just thrown the iron ball that hit the enemy smiled contemptuously, "Do you know that there is a rigid standard for senior inspectors?"
"What? It doesn't matter if you have enough points?"
"To kill a powerful demon or demon, such as the Hell Fiend with a challenge level of 20, you have to do it alone."
The three people who heard this couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhao Xu, the priest captain who was communicating with them.
It seems that a first-level mage has already performed legendary feats at a young age
But Zhao Xu, who was in the center of his sight at this time, didn't pay attention. He asked the middle-aged pastor in front of him: "Well, do you understand?"
The middle-aged priest was currently wearing a full-body armor in a state of combat readiness, and the mace in his hand was also sharp.
As soon as he saw Zhao Xu, he understood the other person's past achievements, so he was extremely respectful from beginning to end.
He knew that the strong man in front of him was not much different from a legend, so he nodded quickly, "Understood."
"Then take action. Let's go inside and investigate. Caution comes first." Zhao Xu asked again.
At this time, the other four people responsible for the restraints also came over, pulling the half-purgatory creature Peter and asking him to come over and identify the scene.
The wanderers in the team also hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the door before Zhao Xu.
Just when the door opened again, the smell of blood greeted us again.
Zhao Xu suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted all over his body and felt a slight numbness.
He immediately turned back and looked at the location of the Temple of the Goddess of Magic.
At the same time, the legendary necromancy staff fastened by a buckle on his belt also shook.
His first "potential" believer, who changed history, finally came online.
