329 Chapter 328 Immortal Binding rope

Zhao Xu looked at the red-painted building in front of him, and more than ten guesses appeared in his mind.

He could basically guess the reason why the half-purgatory creature, Peter, had deliberately come out. If he dared to fly into the sky, he would definitely be shot down like a target.

Only the wind could travel freely in the skies of Mystra.

For Peter, who wanted to escape, he had to look at the underground of Mystra. There was a dense and wide sewer network there, and it was the only place he could escape to in the darkness of Mystra.

if the other party had some special means to shield themselves from detection, they would have a chance of survival as long as they could get out of mystra before the pursuit arrived.

according to peter’s guess, the ” process time ” from when he contacted the police officers of mystra to when the police officers arrived at the scene, collected information, and then sent it to rose cross was the time that the other party wanted to fight for.

And if the other party rashly started a battle with him, unless they could take him head on, the shockwaves would attract the city guards, which would only shorten the time.

instead, he would allow himself to report the case and follow the procedure to delay the matter.

at the very least, he would have to explain his suspicion to the garrison.

In fact, if he had not appeared rashly, Peter might have been able to slowly clean up the entire scene and finally escape by disguising himself.

The brutal torture and killing that had happened in the living room made Zhao Xu suspect that there was some sort of special ritual going on there. It wasn’t just a case of burglary like he had initially thought.

that was why zhao xu didn’t rush into the house right now. he just stood guard outside.

Once any strange creature barged into the house, he would attack.

As for ” Peter “, who was pressed down and tightly held, he was not too concerned.

with his strength of 10, it was basically impossible for him to break free from the control of the soul catcher, which had a strength of nearly 30.

moreover, the soul catcher had night vision, so it was impossible for peter, who had normal intelligence, not to know. even so, the other party still used a spell-like technique. in fact, it meant that he could only try it as a last resort.

it was a spell that did not require any action.

as for the other possibilities, even if peter managed to become a first-circle sorcerer through some other means ...

In a situation where he couldn’t use it while being caught, because most spells required posture, he definitely couldn’t use it.

In his previous life, a warrior like Zhao Xu would mainly rely on his grappling to suppress his opponent and prevent them from casting any spells.

In the end, Ellington took Zhao Xu’s ” Senior Inspector ” badge and as expected, he immediately skipped through a series of procedures and a whole team of twelve Rose Cross members rushed over. Behind them were the guards who had followed them.

Unlike Mystra’s city guards, which were all mages, Rose Cross ‘members were mainly mages and priests. They were also paired with other corresponding classes, and their combat power ranged from Level 3 to level 20.

According to Clinton’s description, the leader of the team was a level 5 middle-aged priest. Most of his team members were around Level 3 or 4, so they should be able to handle most situations.

this was also the quick response team that rose cross had prepared in mystra. it was convenient for them to intervene at the first moment when evil creatures appeared. at the same time, they were also equipped with various magic items for emergency support.

there was once a low-level team under the hands of a powerful demon close to the legendary level, the ” balor, ” who relied on magic items to escape and survive until a high-level mage and priest came to help after several rounds.

Mystra’s guards were sealing off the scene. Most of them were only Level-1, so they could only seal off the area for show.

When the priests of Rose Cross rushed over, they also noticed the scene. A Soul Catcher was suppressing a human who had already transformed into a half-purgatory creature.

to put it bluntly, it was a dog-eat-dog fight.

although they had a rough idea of what had happened, most of the people in the team couldn’t help frowning when they saw the undead creature, soul catcher.

Half of their daily tasks were to eliminate these undead creatures.

But as they frowned, everyone in the team also looked at Zhao Xu.

to be able to control a challenge level 11 soul catcher meant that the other party was a powerful wizard.

In the city of Mystra, powerful mages could be simply referred to as powerful people, also known as rulers.

Zhao Xu didn’t waste any more time. He immediately communicated with the middle-aged cleric on the spot and clarified the commanding relationship between the two sides.

When the team of priests found out that Zhao Xu was the owner of the badge, which meant that he was the ” high inspector ” of their organization, they immediately felt a deep sense of respect for him.

” you guys use the tools to tie up that half-purgatory creature first. ” Zhao Xu said.

As a commander, the most convenient thing was that he didn’t need to do many things by himself. He only needed to make arrangements.

after hearing zhao xu’s arrangements, the four people who were in charge of controlling the enemy after the battle and were mainly warriors also stepped forward.

The Ranger took out a rusty iron ball with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters and threw it at Peter, who had become strong.

peter, who had been firmly controlled, could not move at all to dodge. he could only watch as the iron ball hit him heavily.

when zhao xu saw this, he immediately waved his hand to signal to the soul catcher.

The soul Catcher immediately let go of its crab-like pincers, and its entire body slowly retreated back into the spirit world.

Peter thought that there was a problem with the connection, so he hurriedly spread his wings and planned to fly away at a low altitude.

When he first rushed out, he didn’t dare to fly in order to hide.

But he couldn’t care about that now.

However, the rusty iron ball that hit him did not hurt him. It swung the wire behind him and directly entangled Peter’s body.

every time peter tried to struggle, he would feel the deep pressure coming from the iron wire. it seeped in continuously, causing him to fall to the ground like a rice dumpling again, unable to move.

He could only roar and open his mouth as if he wanted to bite something, but he was powerless.

“sir, this is?” ellington exclaimed, his mind already filled with some conjectures.

“That’s right, bilaro’s Immortal Binding rope.” zhao xu said.

the god binding rope was a magic item that could automatically bind an enemy. it cost more than 20000 gold coins, and as long as it was thrown at an enemy, it would automatically bind them.

and if he wanted to break free, he had to pass at least a level 30 strength check. Generally, without a strength of 30 or more, there was no chance at all.

Of course, most people relied on their own agility and the ” escape ” skill they had cultivated to escape, but the difficulty of escaping was close to level 30. It was just that Peter didn’t break free from the grasp at the beginning. Naturally, he couldn’t use his escape skill to break free from the immortal Binding rope.

“Isn’t it the same to use shackles?” Ellington thought with a frown.

“You’re smart.” zhao xu said, ” your manacles can only hold his feet or hands in place, but he has wings. and if that’s the case, he’ll only be restricted in his movements, but he won’t be unable to move. ”

“the most important thing is that as long as you’re hit by the iron ball of the immortal binding rope, it will take effect immediately.”

At this time, the warrior who specialized in snatching lowered his body and checked that there was no problem with the immortal Binding rope. Only then did he feel relieved.

he whispered to his other companions, ” that lord looks too young. he got the badge of a senior inspector just like that. I don’t know if I’ll be able to become a Probationary Inspector when I retire. I don’t even dare to think about becoming a Junior Inspector after that.”

the ranger who was responsible for throwing the immortal binding rope iron ball to hit the enemy just now smiled contemptuously. ” do you know that there’s a hard standard for being a senior inspector? ”

“What? Isn’t it fine as long as you have enough points?”

it’s to kill a powerful demon or devil, such as the pit fiend with a challenge level 20. And you’ll have to do it alone.

When the three of them heard this, they couldn’t help but turn around and look at their cleric Captain who was talking to Zhao Xu.

first-circle mages look young enough, but they’ve already achieved legendary-level?

but zhao xu didn’t seem to mind. he said to the middle-aged priest in front of him, ” “hmm, do you understand?”

the middle-aged priest was currently in a full-body armor in a state of combat readiness, and the mace in his hand was also showing off its sharpness.

The moment he saw Zhao Xu, he knew what he had done for the country in the past, so he was extremely respectful from the start.

He knew that the expert in front of him was not much different from a legendary, so he quickly nodded. understood.

” then let’s move. we’ll go in and investigate. being cautious is the first thing we need to do. ” Zhao Xu said again.

at this moment, the other four people who were in charge of restraining the beast also walked over. they pulled the half-purgatory creature, peter, and asked him to come over and identify the scene.

the rogues in the team also quickly walked forward and pushed open the door before zhao xu did.

when the door was opened again, the smell of blood hit him.

Zhao Xu’s entire body suddenly felt as if it had been electrocuted, and he felt a little numb.

he immediately turned around and looked at the temple of the goddess of magic.

At the same time, the legendary Necromancer’s staff fastened on his belt also trembled.

His first ” potential ” believer had changed history and was finally online.
