Chapter 326: Sinker

"Sir, should I ask the neighbors around?" Elliton saw Zhao Xu frown and quickly gave his own advice, "Because there are too many leaves on the garden path, it seems that it hasn't been for a while. There are people, maybe they are away."
　　 "No." Zhao Xu shook his head, "I am approaching a breakthrough and promotion, and irresponsible parents will not let their children go far away."
　　 Unless it has been unable to break through for many years, I would choose to go out and meet opportunities.
　　 Otherwise, most people are honest, staying in a place where they can ask for advice and help in time, so that breakthrough is the safest.
　　Actually, even if Zhao Xu and his group of players successfully promoted to Level 1 Mage, it is worth going to the forum to post to celebrate, and then welcome a congratulatory look and the envy of the mage apprentice.
　　 Two or three months after opening the service, this behavior has not been outdated.
　　 It is even more difficult for Arthurs to become wizards.
　　 Even the talented mage family will set up a banquet to entertain relatives and friends after their descendants become mage.
　　 The importance attached to the mage is also one of the reasons why this area of ​​Mystra can become the most developed place of magic civilization.
　　 Elliton looked at Zhao Xu looking at the height of the iron gate of Peter's house, thinking that the other party was going to turn over, and quickly said, "Sir, if you want to turn over, let me do it. Your identity is not suitable."
　　 As he said, he also looked at the surrounding streets and corners to see if there was a guard patrolling.
　　 "What do you think." Zhao Xu looked at Elliton, this child is not addicted to sin.
　　 Zhao Xu glanced at the spell slots on his body for an instant, and they were basically complete.
　　 The fourth ring of the mage is also the detection technique of the third ring of the poet, allowing him to directly perceive Peter's situation with certain intelligence.
　　 However, Zhao Xu hasn't been level 6 yet, and he can't release the three-ring magic, so naturally he hasn't used the magical version of the poet's spell.
　　, who retired and sought second place, he could choose to secretly check whether there was anyone in the room.
　　 Sanhuan’s "Eagle Eye Technique" can do this for him.
　　Eagle Eye and Sharp Ears, as the best three-ring prophecy spells, are not garbage spells that strengthen his sight or hearing on paper.
　　 Instead, he can directly arrange a magic induction field in a designated place at a long distance, with his caster level being within a radius of about 200 meters.
　　 He doesn't even need to see that place, as long as he knows the specific coordinates or knows the place in his mind.
　　 If the Obelisk hadn't shielded the detection spell, Zhao Xu would be able to cast this spell to spy on Antinoya's office without going into the tower.
　　 Therefore, the means of shielding the detection system has become a standard configuration in some hidden places. Like many wizard associations, there are similar rooms for confidential conversations.
　　Naturally, Zhao Xu couldn't directly use the spell "Eagle Eye" to spy on his student Peter.
　　Even if he couldn't let go of suspicion that there was a problem, he should turn around and leave at this time and wait for the next visit.
　　After thinking about it, Zhao Xu decided to retreat to second place.
　　 He directly rolled up the cuffs of his coat, freed his hands, and directly used the professional ability of "multi-talented spellcaster".
　　 Immediately, Zhao Xu's two second-ring spell slots merged into the third-ring "sharp ear technique" in his hands, which also avoided the 10-minute cast time by the way.
　　 Unintentionally peeping Zhao Xu also decided that as long as he could not hear the breathing of someone in the room, he would turn his head and leave.
　　 And Elliton noticed that Zhao Xu was casting a spell, and stood quietly beside him, guarding him for the abnormalities around him.
　　As Zhao Xu's spell was released, a magical energy flew directly into the house, ignoring any blocking walls.
　　 Then an invisible magic induction field spread out at the location chosen by Zhao Xu, and began to follow Zhao Xu's will to collect the sound information in the room.
　　Elliton noticed that Zhao Xu's face had become a little weird, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Midsummer, what's the matter?"
　　 "It's weird, it's the sound of dripping water." Zhao Xu felt a little surprised.
　　 "And heavy breathing?"
　　 "But there is no moaning sound."
　　 Zhao Xu's face became a little wrong.
　　 At the same time, Elliton also looked at Zhao Xu with a strange expression.
　　 And Zhao Xu had no time to pay attention, and hurriedly called his prisoner soul demon to come over.
　　 If such an evil undead creature like "Prisoner Soul Demon" dared to show up in Mystra, it would be bombarded and killed by a passing spell guard, and then taken to receive a reward.
　　 Fortunately, the prisoner soul demon itself is a transplanet alien creature, and its usual habit is to hide in the "spiritual realm" or "star realm" to track travelers, and wait for the yin at any time.
Therefore, the prisoner soul demon usually hibernates. When Zhao Xu gives instructions, he will drive over from other spiritual worlds or star realms, which are intermingled with the main material plane, and then appear on the main material plane. .
　　Actually, after Zhao Xu got the "Shard of Death Godhead", he already understood that the legendary necromantic staff in his hand had become a little different.
　　 is like the original six-ring spell "advanced evokes the dead," originally it was just creating advanced undead creatures, he had to go through a process of commands, and the spell itself could only be released at night.
　　 But that day, in the hand of that abnormal necromantic staff, none of these were any problems.
　　 This also made Zhao Xu a little doubtful, whether the fragment of the godhead in his hand would just be combined with this necromancer, and it would evolve towards the path of the artifact.
　　 eventually became the real first artifact in Zhao Xu's hands.
　　, not like Lacus, who has been in a dead state recently, unable to respond to his call.
　　 "Class guide, then I'll go find the patrolman." Elliton said nervously.
　　 Mystra’s "spell guard" is essentially used to deal with the same mages, and most common people’s disputes are resolved by the Garrison.
　　 But Zhao Xu shook his head, "Selling them to come is probably to die, and it will be too late."
　　 As if the mysterious breathing sound detected him, and then he held it so miraculously and disappeared.
　　Only the sound of water droplets still flowed quietly, falling to the ground and reverberating.
　　 Zhao Xu silently picked up a "Rosic Cross" badge of "Senior Inspector".
　　With this heavy identity, even if he broke into the mage family, he would not be held accountable, let alone an ordinary house.
　　 "Will you open the lock?" Zhao Xu asked tentatively.
　　 Elliton immediately shook his head.
　　 But when he saw Zhao Xu turning his head back, he thought that the other party was disappointed in him, and quickly said, "Sir, I will learn this skill when I go back."
　　 "No, our mage can use magic to unlock the lock."
　　 As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, the spell that was already in his heart immediately came out casually.
　　 He waved the scepter in his hand and lightly slammed the bolt on the iron gate.
　　 I saw the gate shook suddenly, and the original lock was as if the shrapnel was moved by an invisible hand, and the lock cylinder was rotated and unlocked.
　　 The bolt that was bolted at the same time also automatically springs back to its original position. Just like this, an iron gate that could only be opened with brute force was opened by Zhao Xu with a second-ring spell "percussion".
　　 When Elliton saw this scene, he lowered his head.
　　 "What's wrong?" Zhao Xu asked.
　　 "No, I just remembered that my toy box was locked when I was a child, and that person opened it for me like this." Elliton said with a weak tone, and his fists were also clenched.
　　 When Zhao Xu heard this, he only sighed slightly.
　　 "The front may give you bad memories, or don't go in."
　　 "Sir, please let me follow you." Elliton already understood the meaning of Zhao Xu's words at this time, but he still mustered his courage.
　　 "Then come in."
　　 Zhao Xu has already passed through the garden in front of him and walked to the mahogany door of the house. The pattern of the family crest on it can be seen to be extremely exquisite woodworking craftsmanship.
　　 Zhao Xu continued to open the wooden door in front with the scepter in his hand, accompanied by the third babble he heard today.
　　 However, what caught his eyes was a bright red, as if they had strayed into the killing field where blood was flying.
　　 The strong pungent smell immediately lingered, making Elliton behind Zhao Xu extremely pale, as if recalling the unforgettable nightmare he had suffered more than ten years ago.
　　 It's just that when he encountered this scene ~EbookFREE.me~, he could only gritted his teeth and pinched his thigh. He knew that the moment he came in, Zhao Xu was also testing him. Because he took the initiative to give up choosing other assessment methods.
　　 He can only restrain himself, staring wide-eyed, and looking at the still cruel world ahead.
　　 Above the hall where the luxurious lighting was originally pendant, there are also several indistinguishable corpses hanging, even if there is no wind, they are slowly swinging.
　　 The sound of dripping water that Zhao Xu heard was caused by them.
　　 On the blood condensed from the drops below, a man, or male creature, stood.
　　 Black scales have grown on his exposed skin, even more than half of his face is covered. Only the scales on the neck part fell off, revealing the bright red and disgusting rotting flesh inside.
　　 The man's eyes were red, and he looked at Zhao Xu with extremely murderous intent. A pair of bat-black wings that seemed to be charred continued to open and close behind him.
　　 "He, Peter, how did he become a demon?" Elliton covered his mouth and exclaimed at this time. He had already noticed the horns emerging from Peter's head.
　　 "This is a semi-purgatory creature." Zhao Xu said indifferently.
　　 After that, Zhao Xu snapped his fingers lightly, and released his illusion.
　　 The cashmere coat he was wearing immediately faded away.
　　 was replaced by a cloak with gleaming starlight trails, constantly shining on his shoulders, and drifting with the wind.
　　 Peter, who had become a semi-purgatory creature, also roared and charged towards Zhao Xu.
