The Truth of Magic

Chapter 339

339 The secret of the divine miracle

tell me. Do I look like the kind of person who doesn’t keep his mouth shut? I’m the goddess’s priest, after all. At least I’m more trustworthy than you. Zhao Xu consoled Reyan.

Reyan grinned when he heard that. His words were not very pleasant to hear.

originally, he didn’t want to say much about this, but zhao xu had been reacting a little faster recently, and he had already guessed at the context of the clues.

” or is it that the goddess can’t create a miracle in sacred heart cathedral? ” Zhao Xu suddenly said.

” d * mn, did the goddess tell you that? ” reyan was shocked and he almost turned his head around to look at zhao xu.

However, as a Liaison Officer, his daily ” negotiation “, ” intimidation “, ” Bluff ” and other skills had all been enhanced with magic. Naturally, these skills were immediately reflected back, allowing him to forcibly control his facial expressions.

“About a week ago, the goddess gave the Pope an Oracle. Within this month, she will only send down miracles if necessary. Although no one is clear about what is going on, the higher-ups of the church will not rashly ask for a miracle from the goddess before the matter is of utmost urgency.”

and we don’t dare to reveal this news and let everyone know that the goddess is now in a half-asleep state.

So it was like this.

Back at fallen star Lake, he had invited miracle as easily as he had drunk water.

even though he was ‘blessed’ by the gods. however, the pope and the others were not much weaker than him in terms of divine favor. they would rather compensate him with another form of “resurrection” than ask for a miracle, which was a bit different in itself.

Only the situation Reyan had described would make sense.

however, the more he knew, the more he would worry.

“There’s another reason. it was the abyss and hell. over the years, they had been collecting information on divine power and trying to attack the gods. Therefore, for matters involving demons and devils, if the other party was backed by a few Lords and Kings who were comparable to great divine powers, the descent of a miracle would be very cautious. Especially in a place like the temple, it’s easy to cause resonance, and it’s easier to trace.”

Zhao Xu understood what she meant.

the more they surrendered, the more pawns the abyss and hell would send to obtain more information about the divine power. this would put the gods at a disadvantage in the high-level battles.

By this point, Zhao Xu had pretty much put together the whole picture of what had happened.

so in this hour, he just had to run outside and hang on to the succubus priest, not letting him leave or pick any other weak targets.

an hour was also the time set by the many experts of the church to capture the succubus priest.

If it exceeded an hour, they would give up and directly use divine power.

by the way, have you felt any strong feelings since just now? ” Reyan suddenly asked.

“you mean the abyssal divine power?”

” that’s right. otherwise, do you really think i’m going to take you around aimlessly? ”

Zhao Xu replied, ” “I don’t have this.”

” that’s strange. why would the other party deliberately disguise himself as a cleric apprentice? ” reyan was surprised.

At this moment, he was leading Zhao Xu past a few training rooms and lecture rooms. There were quite a few low-level priests scattered around in the group, and they didn’t know what was going on in the outside world.

“is there any new information?”

“You’re smart. Guess what?”

If Zhao Xu’s intelligence hadn’t increased in the past, he would still be confused when he looked at problems and would need to sort them out bit by bit.

now that he had 22 points of intelligence, he could clearly see the outline of all the veins in his mind, and he was allowing zhao xu to analyze the connections between the clues.

hearing reyan’s question, he was speechless. ” the only person we can investigate now is peter. have you found out why the succubus wanted to cause more trouble and turn him into a half-purgatory creature? ”

If the succubus was just trying to cause a commotion, then it was reasonable.

However, the other party wanted to do a big business in Sacred Heart Cathedral. Even if the succubus was from the chaotic camp and did things without logic, it still didn’t make sense.

this was because the succubus had brought along a divine artifact and the divine power of the abyss. this meant that it was a major matter that involved the lord of the abyss, grazite.

The demon race’s pain of waiting for a thousand years in order to climb up the ranks, as well as the threat of being punished in the abyss for a hundred years after making a mistake, were also well-known.

No matter how brainless the succubus was, she would still act in Mystra in order to maximize her benefits.

reyan then explained, ” from our preliminary analysis, the other party’s method of teleporting to the clone is to consume these ‘half-purgatory creatures’, and they must be the kind of’ half-purgatory creatures ‘that are at least level 1 wizards. ”

Zhao Xu nodded after he heard this.

This revealed that the succubus’s operation wasn’t just today.

Peter, who thought that he had transformed into a powerful ‘half-purgatory creature’, was actually just the fuel for the succubus priest to activate a teleportation to replace the clone effect.

zhao xu couldn’t help but start to frown.

He noticed that the other party happened to be in the same class as Zheng xinyun, and he was also a trainee priest player.

it meant that the succubus would follow zheng xinyun like a shadow and attend the same classes for the next few days.

In the end, they would run into Zhao Xu, who would come over and give them a lecture, just like the elderly priest they had met today.

Could it be that she had specially come to wait for him?

no.

Zhao Xu immediately corrected his judgment.

Waiting for him would be a better way to ambush him in the Civilian Academy.

He could even wait for Peter at his house instead of the most dangerous place, Sacred Heart Cathedral.

At this moment, the succubus seemed to be invisible and was lurking in the church.

In fact, the higher-ups of the Association must have selected many legendary mages to study and locate the succubus.

If they hadn’t been misled by the information about ” today’s ” operation and acted rashly, they would have had a more than 50% chance of successfully capturing the succubus.

perhaps the church did not realize that they would find the succubus so quickly and force her to take action.

if zhao xu’s guess was correct ...

The succubus didn’t know who it was looking for, or rather, it was just waiting for the ” target ” to appear on the podium of the trainee priest.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the legendary undead staff in his hand.

if everything was as he had guessed, then the succubus most likely didn’t recognize that he was the target.

“Wait a moment.” Suddenly, Reyan waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

he kept his head down, listening to the feedback from the higher-ups of the church.

I just found traces of the succubus in the Northwest corner of the church. It seems that the target is not you. after a while, reyan sorted out the information he had just heard.

the church has already set up a new encirclement there. Many legendary-mages have already rushed over. According to the contents of the deduction, we should be able to trap the other party for a while.

based on this, the church has made new arrangements. You’d better go back to a secret base nearby. There are enough Rose Cross members there to ensure your safety.”

“Let’s go. I’ll quickly escort you there and then rush to the battlefield.” After Reyan finished speaking, he took Zhao Xu with him and left the building. At the same time, he also ordered the two men behind him to go over and provide support.

But Zhao Xu was still a little confused as he watched the two wizards leave.

This was because he noticed that both of them were only at six-ring and did not have an absolute advantage over the succubus.

“They’re there to provide spell slots.” reyan understood zhao xu’s confusion and he grinned.

next, we’re going to perform a legendary spell. We need these mid and high-circle Wizards to provide spell slots and reduce the difficulty of the legendary spell.

as reyan spoke, this was the first time he showed an expression of admiration in front of zhao xu.

Legendary spells could be said to be spells with no restrictions.

whether it was the power or the range of the spell, or even the specific function of the spell.

It was also the dream of mages.

It was just that legendary spells were difficult to cast, so many times, a bunch of assistants were needed to provide spell slots to reduce the difficulty of casting.

at this moment, zhao xu and reyan were still walking over to a small round hall in the church. the walls were covered in plants and vines, and no one seemed to have cleaned it up.

then, the two of them walked in, crossed the bright red carpet, and walked up to the empty second floor. reyan brought zhao xu to a hidden corner and lightly tapped on a certain empty tile.

the wall that had been painted white suddenly rose slowly, revealing the gate of an alchemy elevator.

one of Rose Cross’s bases is underground. It’s usually in charge of guarding something, so it’s set up in a rather remote area. There’s more than one entrance, but this one is the one closest to us.

reyan then pulled the control lever of the elevator, and the metal gate opened, revealing a narrow space that was more than a meter wide.

Zhao Xu immediately went in first. When he turned around, he saw Reyan stumble over something and stumble a little, but he still managed to walk in.

Then, the gate of the elevator slowly closed.

reyan and zhao xu were standing side by side in the alchemy elevator. they were both looking at the numbers on the floor panel as they jumped down one by one, and they kept going deeper and deeper into the ground.

At this moment, Reyan suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Xu with a kind smile. “do you think i look like reyan?”
