The Truth of Magic Chapter 181: The strongest detection and perception position (four/four)
When Zhao Xu heard it, he knew that Lei An was not only curious, but also had to judge his own thoughts.
In fact, if he hadn't gradually increased his knowledge recently, otherwise he might not be able to sort out the whole line of thought.
At this time, Zhao Xu really needs Lei An to verify his judgment. He handed the notebook in front of Lei An.
The notebook is no longer complicated. It seems to be a tablet for Zhao Xu to manipulate. There are only three lines of warnings from the ancestor Andy.
Just at the beginning, Zhao Xu has already told the pastor in charge about his recent experience, including the origin of this diary.
While looking at the holy emblem on Zhao Xu's chest, the priest of the "Rosic Cross" did not dare to say to him that he wanted to collect it.
just incidentally helped Zhao Xu to do some tests, and after confirming that it was not the devil's item, he returned it to him.
"You mean, that Andy's ancestor met the devil in the tomb and got ridden?" Lei An asked along Zhao Xu's thoughts.
However, Zhao Xu shook his head, "It is Andy's ancestor. In the tomb, he found a problem with his own blood."
"In other words, he already understood the ambiguity that his bloodline would bring, so he warned in his notebook."
At this time Lei'an frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"There is a proverb on the earth, ‘Don’t add it if it’s not necessary’."
"Why can't Andy's ancestors have something to say well? They have to use this method of deliberately writing a few words hard, leaving a mark on the notebook, and dare not even say those three sentences directly in the notebook? "
Zhao Xu looked at Lei An with his eyes at this time, "This means that the other person can't help himself."
"Boy, it's not that your knowledge has risen, but your IQ has risen." Lei An couldn't help approaching Zhao Xu at this time, and kept looking at his head.
Zhao Xucai didn't bother to talk to Lei An's jokes. Usually he relied on his spell equipment to face the scenes he was capable of, and naturally crushed the past, thinking about what he thought.
But when you are in a disadvantaged situation, for a wizard, IQ is even a weapon even stronger than a spell slot.
"So the only explanation is that Andy's ancestors have discovered that there is a devil in their blood that will awaken at any time. He even has to beware of that devil and dare not leave an obvious warning." Zhao Xu sighed. Said.
It's a pity that he hadn't noticed those three lines the first moment he saw the notebook, otherwise this tragedy would not happen.
"Floating City has this kind of mirror that can see through deformation and disfigurement and even blood factor. I guess there is also the tomb. Andy's ancestors took similar things and found that they saw the face of the devil, so they naturally reacted. Come here." Lei An added background knowledge he didn't know to Zhao Xu.
"So I suspect that Andy’s frightened attitude at the time was not that the devil was disguising. It was that the devil in his body was still in the latent stage, but he could already quietly change his state and even his memory, so Andy I said it was a ritual copied from a slate"
"After I was far away, the devil who gained power from the ritual revealed his original appearance and took over Andy's body."
At this time, Zhao Xu squatted down a bit and picked up a stone on the ground that had only been tainted with blood. "I have confirmed the ritual. It is indeed a ritual for summoning alien creatures. But if it’s Andy with a devil People of the bloodline come to show it, and the established alien channel will also transmit the power of the devil, so that the devil's factor in their bloodline will be strengthened, and the devil will wake up."
At this time, Lei An couldn't help but glanced at Zhao Xu in surprise. Most people guessed that the essence of the ritual was to summon the devil, and then the devil took over Andy's body by the way.
I didn't think that Zhao Xu could still stick to his own ideas, thinking that the summoning ceremony only summoned alien creatures.
"I just received the notice, that the Andy kid clan has been monitored. Experiments have proved that their blood is indeed the blood of the devil. I know by relying on the information sent to me after other people's actions. What about you. Don't say you guessed so accurately." Lei An couldn't help saying.
The premise of reasonable inference, there is enough chain of speculation at that time.
Zhao Xu shook his head, "I told you that in that booklet, the ancestors of the Andy clan portrayed many useless rituals, proving that they were very interested in occultism, but for so many years , But there is nothing about spells. So I doubt that their family themselves dare not become wizards."
It is commonplace for a mage to come into contact with alien creatures because of his own spells. But if you have blood, the risk will also increase exponentially.
In contrast, the pastor still has God watching, but it is not so dangerous.
"I found out that you have to let you stay in a dangerous situation a little longer, so as to make your brain work more." Lei An joked.
"Then tell me what to do next?" Lei An continued to test.
"Naturally, the devil was dug out." Zhao Xu looked serious at this time, and his aura was completely different.
He needs to call Lei An to get rid of the troubles forever.
Seeing Lei An’s listening look, Zhao Xu continued to analyze, “The devil, a lawful and evil alien creature, is more inclined to use a fraudulent contract to grab the soul of the prey. This kind of direct killing on the spot , It’s more like a devil’s technique."
"This also means that the devil is very urgent, and it urgently needs to kill to gain strength."
At this time, Zhao Xu turned around and looked in the direction of Mystra, "It can make the devil give up and continue to go back to Mystra to lurch, and tear his face on the spot, only to explain one possibility."
"Nearby, there is a place where it can live and develop its strength."
At this time, a breeze suddenly blew in the night, causing the **** smell that had been wafting insignificantly in the air to dissipate without a trace, and it also caused waves of waves on the surface of the stream.
And the old priest wearing a high-collared blue sacrificial robe came over and bowed to Lei An: "Captain Lei An, this Mr. Midsummer can analyze this way and is also a priest. I think I might as well absorb him. How about he entered our "Rosic Cross"?"
Lei’s eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn’t help but nodded to Zhao Xu, “Would you like to join us as the righteous teacher of evil spirits? I see that every time your kid encounters death, that kind of The serious attitude is like another person, just join us to ensure that you are extremely serious every day."
and the elderly mage looked embarrassed, as if anything good was said to Lei'an, it was just ironic.
"Yes." Zhao Xu didn't even think about joking at this time.
What he wants to do most now is to kill the devil.
"Then I'm here to cast the spell." Lei An said sternly at this time, saying that he took the "Midsummer's Spell Notes" in Zhao Xu's hand and weighed it.
Zhao Xu nodded, "It definitely does not have a ‘mind barrier’ now, and we can definitely capture its location on the ground by using the ‘sensing position’."
Lei'an smiled contemptuously, "I hope it is at least the level of infernal fiends. If it is not a 20th-level challenge devil, Lao Tzu’s eighth-level spell will be lost."
The eighth-level arcane spell "Perception of the Unknown" is one of the most powerful spells for determining the location of creatures or objects.
As long as the caster has seen the target creature, or has something in his hand that the target creature has touched.
Like the notebook Zhao Xu handed over, Andy once used it to perform ceremonies.
After the spell is released, the caster can feel the location of the target creature, unless the opponent has the same eighth-level spell "mental barrier" protection or divine power to interfere.
In magic, the confounding faction has always been famous, because they are as small as changing the attitudes of others, as large as directly controlling people’s hearts, manipulating and modifying memories.
But the spells of this faction, just like the true knowing spells break all illusions, are restrained by the eighth-level spell "mind barrier".
At this moment, Lei An officially began to chant the spell spell, and the "perceive location" spell was originally cast for 10 minutes, but Lei An used the special ability "selective spell" of the "spell guard" for only one round. Finished the spell.
just after finishing casting the spell, Lei An immediately frowned.
Zhao Xu’s heart was suddenly surprised. They did not use the five-level spell "Detection" to search for the location of the devil. It is because detection is easily shielded by spells, so they used the "Perception Position" which is less disturbed. Also failed?
Lei'an shook his head: "It's a wicked one. After this magic notebook becomes your thing, you lose contact with Na Andy, and the other party is now estimated to become a devil, reducing the relationship with the predecessor, so this This thing doesn’t work."
And Zhao Xu looked at the ground at this time~IndoMTL.com~ The goat that was wrapped up just now disappeared, apparently taken away by the devil.
In this case, there is only another way.
They are now teleporting back to find the things Andy used, and there is a problem that it doesn't work for the devil.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at Lei An and said: "Use the ninth-level spell to "visually retrospect"."
Lei'an looked at Zhao Xu in surprise, "You are too evil, do you know that I just mastered this spell?"
"You, the department responsible for investigation and search, is it weird if you don't master this kind of magic?" Zhao Xu murmured in the opposite direction.
Visual Backtracking is a 9th-level wizard spell, but it is also a 6th-level bard spell, so Zhao Xu can cast it at 12th level.
Spells are divided into several scales: days, weeks, years, and centuries. This kind of thing that just happened, with the accuracy of the "day" level, it is completely clear what happened in this area, as well as the specific content of the conversation.
So you can use this spell to see whether the opponent has maintained Andy's form or has become a devil after the killing.
This also satisfies another condition of the "perceive location" spell-have seen the other party
At this time, Lei An continued to use the "Selective Spells" ability and spent a round of time casting the "Visual Backtracking" spells.
Suddenly, the scene of the killing was displayed in front of Zhao Xu and others.
