179 the archbishop
Andy, the tall and thin man who was standing in front of the bonfire and hosting the ceremony, looked at the man in the cloak with a pale face.
he still couldn’t react to what had happened.
his four companions had just been turned into zombies by the evil spirit. how did they turn into humans in the blink of an eye? he could hear their heavy breathing again.
The other four young men and women who had followed the tall and thin young man, Andy, also had bewildered expressions on their faces.
they didn’t know how they had suddenly fainted, but the bone-piercing cold they felt before they lost consciousness told them that it was definitely not a simple coma.
And why did this mysterious male spell caster appear here?
Because Zhao Xu had cast a spell on that evil creature from another world, the spell on his invisibility ring had lost its effect on the spot. Naturally, he was able to appear in front of everyone.
he gently put the magic staff back on his waist and then picked up the time backtrack talisman. As expected, after using the ability once a day, the sand in the tiny hourglass at the bottom of the amulet was sucked back into the top of the bottle, and the fine sand slowly flowed down again.
Before the next day, when all the fine sand had flowed to the bottom of the bottle, the talisman would not be able to recover its power.
It was at this moment that Zhao Xu finally experienced the power of the repelling spell of the protective staff. with the support of a level 20 spellcaster, he could basically expel these ordinary otherworld creatures.
It was much more active than the other spells on the staff, such as ‘secondary spell nullification barrier’.
As expected, eliminating the enemy was the most powerful defensive method.
“andy, what happened? What just happened?” the slightly chubby young man who started the conversation asked.
zhao xu was also staring at the tall, skinny young man, andy, and he was waiting for his answer.
andy suddenly knelt down with his head in his hands. his face was full of tears as he cried, “i don’t know what happened either. just now, after the spirit said that it wanted my friend as a sacrifice, you all fell to the ground and died.”
“then i told it to ask you to come back. it did agree, but the result was that you guys turned into zombies and stood up. then, you said that lisa would become like this later and that i’m really sorry. i didn’t know it would be like this.”
the man named andy was sitting on the gravel ground limply, leaning against the black sack that contained the animals as sacrifices. the book with the black cover was also scattered on the ground.
everything that happened in just six seconds had a deep impact on andy. he was even choking with sobs when he spoke.
At this time, the four young men and women who had followed Andy here all had frighteningly pale faces. They all had frightened expressions.
they had never thought that they would come back from a near-death experience.
However, after listening to Andy’s words, they should have already transformed into the evil undead creatures. How could they recover and become humans?
this method of turning undead creatures back into humans was the purpose of their ritual tonight-resurrection.
At this moment, the four of them couldn’t help but look over at Zhao Xu as if they had suddenly realized something.
After she calmed down, the woman with freckles on her face asked Zhao Xu, ” Mr. Spellcaster, were you the one who stopped this disaster and saved us? ”
zhao xu saw that she was able to sort out her thoughts so quickly. as expected, students who had gone to a civil service academy in arthur that specialized in nurturing civil service talents were really different. it saved him the trouble of wasting his breath.
” yes, that evil spirit just now turned you all into undead creatures after taking your lives. i used a spell to reverse this disaster. ”
Zhao Xu said calmly.
after hearing zhao xu’s answer, the group of people finally confirmed that they had indeed been dragged back from the kingdom of the dead, and they all fell into a daze.
the young men and women in front of him were at most level 1 or 2 commoners or scholars. their health points were basically below 10HP, so it was not surprising that they were killed by the evil spirit.
the effect of creating undead creatures that the other party used later was not a high-circle spell.
For example, a priest’s level 3 divine spell, corpse control, could achieve this effect. Basically, the health dice of low-level zombies was only 1HD.
that spell would allow him to control zombies or skeletons that had four times the spellcaster’s HD level. at that time, he was at least a level-7 spellcaster. as long as he had enough corpses, he could control a team of 28 zombies.
as a result, undead waves broke out in many places, and the graves in the countryside were excavated, mostly by these evil priests or mages.
good priests couldn’t cast such evil spells, and most of the residents of arthur didn’t have much contact with evil priests. Of course, the infamy of the undead disaster mostly fell on mages.
In areas where magic was undeveloped, mages were not well-liked, and there was a deeper reason.
great spellcaster, we are truly grateful for your rescue. My father is a clerk in the Mistra government office. If you don’t mind, I beg you to pay a visit to my house so that my family can thank you. The slightly chubby young man came back to his senses and quickly thanked Zhao Xu.
the other people all looked at zhao xu with grateful expressions. andy, who was in charge of the ceremony, also came back to her senses and quickly knelt down in front of zhao xu, thanking him for saving them from this tragedy.
Zhao Xu watched as the other party knelt down in front of him respectfully.
for a moment, he recalled that when he had presided over justice as the sheriff, the ordinary villagers had also expressed their gratitude to him with this kind of etiquette to the gods.
He felt a little lonely and pointed out to them, ” there’s no need for an invitation. This is the ritual that summons evil creatures from another world. In the future, if you don’t understand the details, don’t touch this ritual.”
although he was not sure if this summoning ritual was directed to demons and devils, they were best at luring and deceiving until they harvested the souls of the residents of the main material plane of arthur.
However, he knew that the alien creature that had possessed the smoke was not strong, but it definitely had an ancient background. A ritual that could be performed by ordinary people was too dangerous.
Even the mages would be prepared when summoning the physical body of a creature from another world. This was also the reason why the mages had specially developed the ‘binding oath’ spell to deal with the creatures from another world.
as the joy of surviving the disaster slowly faded, the five of them, who came from well-to-do families and had received education, slowly began to have a clear mind.
They had paid a huge price, even with their own lives, but they were still unable to resurrect Lisa.
However, although they couldn’t see the face of the young man in front of them clearly, whether it was his voice or his mannerism, he was completely similar to them, and he could resurrect them.
They, who were from Mystra, immediately reacted. didn’t this mean that the spellcaster in front of him was actually a priest who could cast the fifth-circle divine spell, “resurrection of the dead “?
at the thought of this, the few of them turned even paler.
He had recklessly performed an evil ritual and was stopped by a priest of a good God. This matter would not be easily let go.
if they could do this openly, they wouldn’t have to come to a graveyard so far away from mystra.
“my lord, are you a priest?” The freckled woman asked in a low voice, her face filled with fear.
she could already imagine herself being expelled from school the next day, and her family being humiliated by her.
“yes, i am the priest of the goddess of magic. you can call me ‘wind’.” zhao xu said softly as he pinned the holy emblem that archbishop soz had given him on his chest.
Outsiders might not understand, but these people from Mystra almost had a dark expression on their faces when they saw the Holy emblem shining with a special light under the torch.
Although the Holy emblem was still in the style of a trainee priest, there was a brand new pattern of Bauhinia flowers engraved on the edge.
this was the emblem of the archbishop, the highest patriarch of every church.
Above that was the hierarchy of red-robed bishops, who were in charge of the entire parish.
The Holy emblem of the goddess would only shine for those it acknowledged.
Even if an ordinary person were to pick up the Pope’s Holy emblem and pin it on their chest, it would only be dim and dull.
This was also the reason why priests were never afraid of being impersonated.
when the five of them heard that the other party was indeed a priest of the goddess, they were slightly relieved. after all, he was not a priest of the god of justice and punishment, who abhorred evil.
However, when he saw the Archbishop’s badge, his warm heart cooled down.
An Archbishop of a goddess didn’t even need to do anything personally. As long as she spoke, all the information and history of their family would be delivered to the other party’s table.
they could not escape.
At this time, the chubby man who had the best family status among the five said with a trembling voice, ” “the level 5 divine spell ‘resurrection of the dead’ can’t resurrect the undead.”
the five people’s expressions changed again.
the resurrection of the dead couldn’t resurrect the undead creatures or people killed by instant death spells.
this meant that the people in front of them had used at least a level seven divine spell, resurrection, to save them.
the materials for the resurrection spell were diamonds worth 10000 gold coins and a handful of holy water.
and it was four level seven divine spells in a row!
Immediately, the five of them felt a little dizzy. They looked at the mysterious priest in front of them with eyes full of reverence. This was an instinct of the residents of Mystra.
this proved that the mysterious man in front of him didn’t rely on his years of service, but the kind of priest with outstanding abilities and a high position, blessed by the gods.
The five of them realized that they might have met a potential candidate for the “red robe “.
not to mention mystra, even in all of arthur, a person of this level would be an important figure at the top. they would have the same status as lords or lords.
Zhao Xu saw that everyone was looking at him in awe, as if he had just cast a beguiling spell.
although he didn’t understand what was going on, he tried his best to show a kind expression. “can you pass me that black book?” he asked.
