Although the Zhukong team didn't understand what Zhao Xu was aware of, after hearing his instructions, they hurried forward and ignored the blood on the corpses. They untied each corpse and carried it to the lawn outside.
Peter, who saw this scene, was furious and said: "What are you doing? Stop it quickly."
But the Zhukong team definitely ignored his protest and continued to carry out their mission.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Eliton asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly realized that immortality is no longer a problem for the other party. Since he doesn't want to go to the arcane throne, he will basically become a semi-purgatory creature at that time." Zhao Xu explained He said, "Then the other party using his parents as a sacrifice today must be another request."
When Eliton heard the word "sacrifice", his whole body was shocked, and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
"I guess he wants to go one step further and become a real demon. Or, let his family become 'half-purgatory creatures'." At this time, Zhao Xu looked around the living room.
Basically all the doors and windows have been boarded up, and you can even see some items used to ward off evil spirits, such as replicas of holy emblems all over the floor, and bottles of holy water piled everywhere.
Pastor Gotha also sighed, "It is probably that his parents wanted to perform an exorcism ceremony for him and turn him into a normal human being, but he was killed later. He was too naive, and he actually thought that with his own strength That can solve this kind of thing.”
"That's right." Zhao Xu warned Eliton, "Sometimes, trying to solve a hole by yourself will only make the hole bigger and bigger."
Eliton nodded with a vague understanding.
"Unexpectedly, you can actually guess this." The bound Peter opened and closed his fanged mouth and said, "No matter what you do, you can't stop my Lord's will."
Zhao Xu immediately clenched his fist and secretly sighed, "I've been waiting for you to say this."
"Upgrade control." Zhao Xu shouted directly to Pastor Goda.
Peter never knew how much secrets he had inadvertently revealed to Zhao Xu by the word "my lord", and how much confidence he had given Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu, who had been harassed by the demon king "Grazt" of the Abyss, was planning to take this opportunity to test the will of the Abyss.
Even though he is only a level 5 ordinary mage, at this moment, in the torrent of the great era, he is already qualified to kick the stones around him and make the torrent change slightly.
"What level?" Pastor Gotha asked.
Their team is the lowest response level "blue".
There are "yellow", "green" and even "red" levels above this, but he is not clear about what is above.
"Red." Zhao Xu concluded directly, "Use my name to publish it."
This is also the strongest force that the "Senior Inspector" can mobilize, which means that the next supporting team will have strong men who can at least cast nine-ring spells.
This level is also rare among Rose Cross' resident emergency responders.
More than ten minutes later, a beam of teleportation light flashed directly on the grass in the garden, but Zhao Xu saw his old acquaintance Master "Lei An".
"Are you a lone star in the sky?" Lei An said angrily after seeing Zhao Xu, "I want you to take up a part-time teaching position to get in touch with people from other classes, so you can encounter this kind of ritual?"
Leian wore an extremely simple robe, with only the nine concentric circles inlaid with gold threads on the edge of the robe shining, representing the identity of the visitor as a nine-ring mage.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief." After seeing Leian appear, the members of the Zhukong Team hurriedly said hello to him.
At this time, Zhao Xu also discovered that the team led by Lei An had become mostly pure casters. Except for a paladin, there were no warrior rangers in the Zhukong team anymore.
When Zhao Xu heard the name of the team members, he looked at Lei An in surprise, "Promoted? Master Lei An?"
Only then did Lei An show his excitement and looked at Zhao Xu proudly, "Oh, I'm about to break through to the legend, so I'll be matched with the position now."
"That's why I'm surprised. Why are you here this time?" Zhao Xu continued to complain. The last time he encountered the four corpses of Andy's companions, it was Lei An who he took the initiative to notify.
But this time it was Lei An who came, which was a bit of a coincidence.
"Do you think that if you just ask Jiuhuan to come over, he will cooperate with you so easily. So it must be me, an acquaintance, who took the initiative to apply." Leian said clearly.
In fact, he was also worried that his colleagues did not understand the situation clearly. If they offended Zhao Xu, who was already on an upward trend in the organization, they would suffer a lot.
In the eyes of the Floating City, most of the first to ninth level mages who are unable to cast legendary spells are just local chickens and dogs.
And those mages who have the qualifications to become legendary mages will receive special care. At least they will be resurrected after taking risks and accidental death.
At this time, everyone present who had already overestimated Zhao Xu's power saw that there was no gap between the originally superior deputy commander and the senior inspector in front of them, and it was immediately clear that the other person's reputation was real.
After all, Leian is a famously tough character in Rose Cross. Anyone from a big family who comes to gild their qualifications will be ridiculed by him.
Gotha was even more grateful that he had just acted in accordance with the other party's request and did not follow the process seriously.
As he spoke, Leian handed Zhao Xu a completely gold-plated metal invitation, "Well, remember to come to my legendary promotion ceremony."
Zhao Xu almost didn't understand the situation and took it over with a bit of confusion.
He also didn't expect that Arthur's metal sheet invitation was still well-made, but there was no date on it.
"You don't have time for this invitation?" Zhao Xu asked.
"You kid is ignorant. I am inviting you to attend the ceremony, and feel the elegance of our legendary powerhouse's promotion at that time. I can't guess the fluctuation frequency of the magic network. Anyway, within a few months, the appropriate time will come. , you will definitely know. Then use this card to enter."
"Seeing it up close at that time will help you gain insights into the legend in the future."
Leian said, "And I was busy breaking through at that time. Who is free to entertain you and arrange who can come in and who cannot come in. So you take the VIP card for this close distance first."
In fact, he was beating the drum in his heart, hoping that Zhao Xu could bring Antinoya to watch the ceremony together. The series of artifacts on the other party might be able to help him when he failed.
At this time, Zhao Xu also noticed that the entire Zhukong team was looking at the invitation card in his hand with envy.
Eliton also stared blankly. Even Peter, who had normal intelligence, could only remain silent after hearing what Leian said.
Everyone now understood which circle Zhao Xu was from.
After Leian glanced at Peter, who had turned into a half-purgatory creature, he walked into the room.
At this time, several priests and mages who were also in the middle and high levels he brought with him were already investigating in the living room.
"The other party wants to transform his parents and housekeeper into 'half-purgatory creatures'." A serious-looking priest in black sacrificial robes said, confirming one of Zhao Xu's judgments.
Generally, priests who wear sacrificial robes of this color in the Church of the Goddess represent the role of judging and executing executions.
Leian then waved his hand and said, "Take that kid to be tortured by magic. No matter whether he is alive or dead. No, even if he is really dead, drag him to the temple and resurrect him with the nine-ring complete resurrection spell."
Arthur, "undead creatures", "alien creatures", "elemental creatures", these creatures that will die when their life reaches zero, if they want to be resurrected, they have to use resurrection spells of seven or even nine rings.
After hearing Leian's instructions, a middle-aged mage with a scarred face in the team just smiled with yellow teeth, then walked over and dragged Peter to an open space, and then released the five-ring "Mordenkainen" "Secret Chamber Technique".
In an instant, a darkness that was impossible to see through or detect was condensed in that area, covering the movements of the two of them.
"This is the third case of a 'half-purgatory creature' discovered in the past five years." Leian's face was a little gloomy at this time, looking at the barbed wire on the ceiling that had just fixed the body.
"Purify this place first." Leian looked at the pool of bright red on the ground with disgust and directly ordered the black-robed priest.
Then he pulled Zhao Xu out.
"So violent?" Zhao Xu didn't expect that Lei An didn't analyze the context of the entire ceremony first, but directly solved it violently.
"I'm too lazy to care about so much. What can you do? Or do you think they are pitiful and want to use magic to save them?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Zhao Xu didn't ask any more questions, and for a moment he felt uncomfortable, "Hey, why don't you ask me?"
Zhao Xu gave Lei An a strange look at this time, "No, I realized that you must recognize the ritual circle. Naturally, you don't need to study it anymore. Moreover, you are rushing to destroy the ceremony in a timely manner to save the other party's parents and those others." The housekeeper's servant turned into a half-purgatory creature, right?"
Once it becomes a semi-purgatory creature, it means that the price of resurrection has increased from the "five-level" resurrection spell of the dead to the ninth-level "complete resurrection spell".
"Oh, it's not bad." Leian came closer and whispered, "Now the third-ring mage finally has some knowledge."
"Fortunately, you didn't ask me why I didn't quickly resurrect a few of them with five-ring spells."
At this time, Eliton also came over and wanted to hear what Zhao Xu had to say.
Zhao Xu looked at the people in front of him who were handling the corpses and said, "They did not report it but chose to deal with it on their own. It's not that this is wrong, but that they have to suffer the corresponding consequences if they choose to do so. They have no regrets about life or death." "
"And if I can't see it, I should resurrect myself instead of asking others to resurrect me."
In his previous life, he was one of the members of his family who was unable to resurrect.
He is more able to understand the cruel meaning of the hope of "resurrection".
