The Truth of Magic

Chapter 484 Demon Ritual

As the first ray of winter morning light entered the window, it awakened the sleeping white dragon Cyrus. Its frequent and rapid snoring last night made everyone around it unable to sleep peacefully.

This also made Zhao Xu go out to take risks in the future from the bottom of his heart. He would definitely put this white dragon who eats a lot and talks a lot of bullshit in a small black room alone, or tailor a silence package for him.

To Zhao Xu's surprise, Freire, the owner of the house, came to visit early in the morning and brought breakfast to eat with them.

At this time, Zhao Xu had just finished preparing his spells, and Vivian and Bailong were also preparing for battle. According to Zhao Xu, during their visit to the Mage Association today, anything could happen.

Ordinary players can be conservative at night and go offline directly, otherwise after the news that he arrived in Oru City last night spread, he might be attacked at night.

Mr. Zhongxia, I'm afraid there are some changes in this morning's plan. Freire looked embarrassed.

At this moment, he was wearing a dark orange fur coat to keep out the cold wind, and he was leaning on a gentleman's cane, but Zhao Xu glanced at it, and there was no trace of magic on it.

Sure enough, if there was nothing to do, Zhao Xu asked on the spot, What's the matter?

Seeing this, Freire said with a bit of entanglement: Because the aftermath of the attack by Flaming Lips last night was not small, the city of Auru is almost under martial law today, and ordinary people are not allowed to go out. The city guards searched for unknown people everywhere character.

The high-level leaders of the alliance are also very nervous about this time, and the intensity of it even exceeds that of ordinary attacks. In my impression, the Baluoyan Demon Attack fifteen years ago can compare with today's intensity.

Including several churches of the main gods in the city have sent bishops to investigate, and several giants of the Mage Association are also going to the incident at the moment. So Mr. Zhong Xia, because the approval of the status requires the presence of the giants of the branch. Maybe you have to go there in person The place where the incident happened last night, or simply stay in the branch for a few days until they return.

Freire looked at Zhao Xu with some expectation as he spoke.

Naturally, this world will not be ridiculously one-or-two, and there is no room for turning around.

It stands to reason that among Zhao Xu's current two methods, the first one is to go to the Flaming Red Lips to pay a visit in person, which will naturally be a bit annoying, as if to intercept him in person.

And the second one went directly to the boarding association branch, just like when he went to Winter City. It is to use the identity of the mage of the association to stay in the dormitory of the mage association of Winter City. It's just that he encountered the Slave Trafficking Incident in Falling Star Town that broke out a few days earlier, so he gave up.

As master Zhao Xu Sihuan also serves as the chairman of the local town, he can naturally stay at the branch with peace of mind. It is also the safest way to wait until those giants come back to contact him. It's just that if he did this, Zhao Xu would no longer have a reason to stay in Freire's house, and it would also make him lose a way to get in touch, which was why Frere's face was troubled.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xu was a little special.

He was really planning to go to the branch to stay overnight, and he could have done so last night.

Zhao Xu, who was carrying a white dragon and a succubus, didn't want to cause too much trouble and attract too much attention. You must know that the legendary mage won Ergou, such a strong man would be curious to see Vivienne, a paladin who was born as a succubus, let alone the city of Oru.

For him, the city of Aulu, where the Nine-ring mage exists, is a dangerous wall. So what if he could take revenge afterwards, what was lost cannot be recovered at all.

Bring Vivienne with you, even if he has such a layer of Association President status, it is very likely to attract attention. During this time, Zhao Xu had some suspicions that it was Ms. Wuyue who was testing him.

As for going to the flaming red lips ruins that Zhao Xu had ruined last night, it was no different from the suspects who returned to the scene of the crime after committing the crime, and the degree of death was extremely high.

He, who was not suspected at first, might be linked together by one. Once Lux's shielding ability fails, Zhao Xu will have to face the nine-ring mage and the legendary powerhouse.

Just as he was thinking about the gains and losses, White Dragon Cyrus was gnawing on the meal served by the maid, tearing off a piece of roasted lamb leg and chewing on it, with his mouth full of food and asked.

What demon traces are so exaggerated?

And Freire, who had received the news a long time ago, could make a look of embarrassment. It's just that Zhao Xu, who he paid attention to, didn't say anything about it, as if he didn't care.

Freire, who paused for a while and couldn't wait for Zhao Xu to pay attention, said with an embarrassed look: It's said, it's just said. I can't guarantee the authenticity, Mr. Cyrus, it seems to be the name of a certain demon lord. In the secret room where the leader of the underground forces died.

As he said that, he lowered his voice, I heard that the other party has a hundred swords in his body, which is a bit similar to the ceremony that the lord believer used to please him, but it is relatively unpopular, and it is usually only seen in certain noble believers.

In an instant, the teacup that Zhao Xu originally held froze slightly.

Is this role reversed? White Dragon Cyrus complained, No matter how you look at it, it should look like that underworld tycoon Ku Luoze killed others and performed rituals to please the devil. Why is he now a sacrifice?

Vivienne, who was a succubus herself, had a lot of research on this aspect, but at the moment she was listening to the exchange between the two very quietly.

But when she heard the key points, she could feel the sharp eyes even through the helmet.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief.

Although he has paid attention to a lot of knowledge related to demonology during this period, his spare time every day is also limited. Regarding the sacrificial ceremonies that the worshipers of Grazit please him, he only knows about a dozen of the most common ones, and he has a little impression of the remaining hundreds.

It's just that last night, when the time was extremely tight, Zhao Xu's execution time was also very hasty when outsiders could search for it at any time.

He was indeed negligent, and did not perform knowledge checks for various situations in detail.

At this time, he looked at the hot tea in his own ceramic cup. Even though there was a stove burning in the room, it still couldn't stop the cold air to cool it down.

Fleur's biological father Tang De was certified by Antinoya and a follower of the demon lord Grazte.

That's why Zhao Xu wanted to frame him like this last night to attract the attention of the church and use their power to suppress Tang De, the leader of the alliance.

But the ceremony that Fleur is performing now is actually an alternative form of a ritual to please the devil. In addition, he left Graz'zt's name at that time, which invisibly directed this power to the other party.

At that time, Zhao Xu was fearless relying on the recovered Lacus.

But the situation now is different.

Was that superficial ceremony an unintentional mistake by Fleur?

Or is it her deliberate doing it.

If Fleur was innocent, in the ceremony, would Zhao Xu attract Grazte's power to make the other party pay attention to Fleur.

In the beginning, because of Tang De, Fu Lei was separated by a layer of membrane. It is not an exaggeration to say that she may become a sacrifice for her father Tang Dexian and Grazte at any time. It's just that Fu Lei lived well in the previous life, and Zhao Xu didn't care much. Worry. Now if it is connected through this ceremony, then Fleur will undoubtedly reveal it in front of Graz'zt.

But Mr. Zhong Xia, don't worry, tonight's party will not be cancelled. The invitation has already been sent. Just come with me tonight. Freire continued to show off his network to Zhao Xu.

After accepting the invitation letter to express his gratitude, Zhao Xu politely thanked the guests, and proposed that in the next few hours, he needed a quiet environment to study and transcribe spells.

For such a common situation of mages, Frere was not surprised. He asked if he needed to provide some transcription materials, and then resigned directly.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, ordered the two of them to remain vigilant, then went straight into the study in the inner room, and locked it gently.

Then he took out the Staff of Passage bought in the black market of the Northern Alliance, and placed it in front of his eyes.

At this point, he had to go see Fleur.

It is not only out of the responsibility of the friendship between the two in the previous life, but also wants to know whether he has been deceived by the other party all the time.

The seven-ring advanced teleportation stored in the staff could allow Zhao Xu to teleport to any location of Arthur without any hindrance, as long as it was not in another world.

The only prerequisite is that he must be familiar with that place.

As for these places in the Commander's Mansion, shielding methods have been imposed at key positions to prevent the detection methods of ordinary spellcasters.

It is equivalent to blocking the magic channel of the other party's familiarity with the Commander's Mansion.

But Zhao Xu really happened to have served as a garrison of the Commander's Mansion in his previous life.

In an instant, Zhao Xu began to meditate and recall those specific places. At the same time, he waved the staff in his hand to activate the power of teleportation.

next moment.

His figure reappeared.

Zhong Xia! A startled voice came, with a strange tone.
