"Lei An"'s rhetorical question directly made Zhao Xu's whole body stand on end with horror. It was like looking into the mirror in the middle of the night, only to find that the man in the "mirror" acted differently from himself.
Zhao Xu directly activated the "spiritual link" communication ability in his heart and continuously conveyed information to Lei An.
He needed to determine at what point Leian started being switched.
Is it the moment the other party returns to the classroom
Or just now, I almost tripped over the elevator door.
This is about whether others know that something happened to him.
If Lei An was fake from the moment he returned to the classroom, then Zhao Xu, in addition to feeling deep fear, would probably have no choice but to take a gamble and commit suicide.
And if the package was dropped just now, all hope is still there.
After some feedback, Zhao Xu didn't get any response in his heart, and the pretender beside him didn't ridicule him for unnecessary actions.
This somewhat relieved him.
At this time, the alchemy elevator was surrounded by metal mirrors compacted with thick forged steel plates, vaguely reflecting the two of them.
But now it seems that Lei An, who was originally about the same height as Zhao Xu, seems to have a pair of bat wings on his back in the reflection. At the same time, the floor numbers on the panel are stuck and no longer change.
Zhao Xu also couldn't feel the feeling of weightlessness during the descent.
He and a certain creature disguised as "Leian" were trapped in a confined space.
Even Zhao Xu doubted whether this was the alchemy elevator where he first came in.
"Let me introduce myself first." The person next to Zhao Xu said in an elegant tone: "I have many titles, but for the sake of convenience, you should call me the Immortal Dark Lord 'Grazite'."
Hearing the last syllable, Zhao Xu, who already felt a sense of familiarity the moment the other party spoke, was even more convinced.
He turned his head at this time and saw that Leian's original bohemian face had blurred into another appearance. He had an angular appearance, 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 highlight its identity as a demonic race.
"projection?"
Having reached this point, Zhao Xu felt calm.
He did not expect that "Graz'zt", the demon lord who had always wanted to conquer other layers of the abyss and become the sole lord, would just rashly come to the "Sacred Heart Cathedral" in Mystra.
The original "succubus priest" can also be said to be an act of private provocation.
Now this kind of door-to-door visit is just a slap in the face, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will trigger a divine war.
Zhao Xu, who had consumed the "Time Rewind Talisman" and was unable to teleport to other places, thought about more than ten thoughts in his mind, and decided to make peace with the Lord of the Abyss first.
Rather than rashly using the "Super Magic Instant Scepter" in his hand to directly stimulate the "Gasified Form", take a gamble and see if he can escape through the "vent" of the alchemy elevator.
"Oh, why is it so important?" Graz'zt suddenly said in a demonic tone, "Especially for you now."
"Then you sacrificed your succubus priest followers not just to chat with me here?" Zhao Xu immediately changed the topic, trying to regain the initiative.
"Oh, it seems that you have also reacted. The Sacred Heart Cathedral is indeed no better than other places. If I want to be so close to you without being disturbed, I can only ask my little believer to sacrifice himself and take the initiative to surround you. All eyes need to be drawn away."
Graz'zt talked about his experience of actively driving his near-legendary succubus priest to risk his death, but his tone seemed very flat.
A legendary chess piece, to their level, looks like this.
"As for me coming here, of course I came to visit you." Grazte said, "The last time you took back the soul of his wife from me for that idiot, you ended up losing a legendary mage-level slave to me. ”
"You have settled the matter clearly." Zhao Xu did not get excited at all, and continued to remain calm. He did not try to correct the fact that Frank himself was only a nine-ring man.
On the contrary, he knew it very well.
As long as Leian is not subdued, it is only a matter of time before he finally finds this mysterious space.
At this time, Zhao Xu had noticed that the steel plate of the alchemy elevator had begun to twist like a wave.
It was obvious that it was not just the mysterious power that was distorting, but that this space was beginning to become blurry.
In other words, he may no longer be in Mystra.
This can be roughly judged from the fact that Zhao Xu did not get the "spiritual link" response from Lei An from the beginning.
Mind link is a five-ring spell that can communicate spiritually in a group. Zhao Xu's third-ring spell can already perform "one-on-one" secondary mind link.
The spell itself can span all distances, regardless of the ends of the earth.
Only, it is impossible to cross planes.
If you want to make such an interdimensional call, you have to use the six-ring "Larry Alien Mind Link".
Leian is not like Antinoya, who can use "potential points" to restore his spell slots at any time. Naturally, he casts spells on demand. If he can save one level, he will not gain one level.
"You shouldn't think that successfully retaking the soul from the hands of a great Lord of the Abyss is such an easy and hassle-free thing?" Graz'zt continued to say in a proud tone.
At this time, it had turned around and looked directly at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu knew what the other party said, so in order to make the other party fulfill his promise, he cast five miraculous spells in succession, using the magic of Artoria, the "Avenger of the Blazing Sky", to attract the divine power of the goddess Suppress the opponent.
This was also the reason why he felt at ease with his millions-worth of Necromancer Staff and Mithril Crystal.
While completing the task, you also bear the burden of cause and effect.
"Then you want to kill me here to get revenge?" Zhao Xu asked.
After all, the original agreement between him and "Grazite" was only to ensure that the other party would return the soul of the wife of Frank, the master of the Emerald Star.
As for whether the other party cannot continue to take action later, or even various treaties such as whether they cannot continue to pursue the case, there is no detailed agreement.
For a demon, breaking a treaty only takes a moment. No matter how much a "devil" who abides by order, Graz'zt can't change his own "chaotic" camp.
So Zhao Xu never thought that he got his soul back by guessing the other party's identity.
"That's not the case, and for those of you who are projected here, you have similar characteristics to our Tanari clan. They can be resurrected after death. So it doesn't make much sense for me to take your life."
"But, mortals." The tone of Graz'zt, the Lord of the Abyss, suddenly became serious.
"Are you so satisfied with your current status as a third-ring mage? Do you think you are much better than other players and are you starting to feel complacent?"
"You don't want to become stronger? Have monstrous wealth? And occupy thousands of miles of territory and become Arthur's master?" Grazte's tone contained some hints.
Even though players like Zhao Xu have the protection of the gods and are immune to all mind-affecting spells, Graz'zt's own "bluffing", "intimidation" and "negotiation" skills are still intact.
Just a few plain lines, with the support of the other party's powerful skills, it seemed that the words themselves had mysterious magic power, bit by bit getting into his ears and tickling his heart.
In Zhao Xu's mind, he began to outline a scene that he had imagined in his previous life.
He finally understood that the same words, as long as they were spoken in different people's mouths, would have different effects.
"Don't you want you to dominate your life? We, the Abyss clan, will never escape from the Abyss. We just need Arthur to be our agent, a great being who can demonstrate our will."
"You want to bribe me?" Zhao Xu asked at this time.
Although he didn't know why Graz'zt was acting uncharacteristically, unlike at the beginning, as if he was trying to lure him into accepting the other party's "gift".
But why did he become the "hot cake" again
Wherever you go, people are trying to please you and giving you gifts
"Mr. Grazte, I'm sorry, I am the priest of the goddess." Zhao Xu refused righteously at this time.
Deals between mages and demons and devils are never rare.
In fact, there are unlucky people like Frank, but after all, they are not the norm.
After all, most of the objects that ordinary mages deal with are just ordinary demons or devils. The Barlow Fire Demon, the Hell Fiend, and the Six-Armed Snake Demon can all be said to be the ceiling.
Many of these demons and devils have been slowly climbing up from the bottom for thousands of years. There are many arcane treasures of spell notes collected among them, which can often provide some attractive deals for mages.
Even if Frank, who has reached the level of Grazt, can be ruthless, he will give up his wife's soul and let her become a devil.
Before signing the actual contract, Graz'zt was not very easy to deal with this nine-ring mage.
It's not that Graz'zt's strength is unreachable, but that it projects its own power into Arthur's world to conquer a nine-ring mage.
The price he paid was far higher than if he harvested or killed a nine-ring mage.
This was also the reason why Zhao Xu did not dare to act rashly.
In order to see him here, the price Grazte had paid was more than the price he had paid to capture Frank's soul.
After Grazte heard the lines of the Goddess Priest Zhao Xu, he suddenly couldn't help bursting into laughter.
At this time, endless black mist filled the air behind him, and a deep and bright light of divine power began to shine from it.
"If you give up that priesthood, I can give you the legend."
