Chapter 545 There is another reason
Priests have very strong perception. It is said that people with weak perception cannot hear God’s guidance, let alone use divine magic.
But it is also said that after becoming a priest, as the number of communications with gods increases, the perception ability will become better and better.
There is no clear evidence for either statement, but it is true that the priest has strong perception.
This is not a strong ability of vision, smell or hearing, but is similar to a sixth sense. For example, some people can feel someone staring at them from behind. This is a special perception ability that cannot be explained at the moment.
It is possible that the three of them accidentally set their sights on the Drow Priest when they got closer, or it could just be that the Drow Priest sensed someone moving nearby. In short, they had almost been discovered.
The reason why I say almost is because the invisible magic ball is still effective. When the three of them saw the drow priest looking over, they immediately stopped where they were, not daring to take a breath.
Pastor Zhuoer had a suspicious look in his eyes, as if he just sensed someone, but did not really confirm the location of Aldai and the others.
But this is only a matter of time. Priests have many ways to break invisibility and many ways to detect invisible creatures.
Aldai has already tightened her grip on the staff. As long as the drow priest wants to take action, she will immediately strike first.
At this critical moment, Zola suddenly raised the Holy Emblem, and a dim light spread out in the invisible sphere, wrapping all three of them inside.
Almost at the same time as Zora took action, the drow priest secretly tore open a scroll, and light blue mana fluctuations spread along the rock like a scan.
This should have been able to detect the three people in the invisible magic ball, but when the wave hit them, they passed through them as if they had turned into air.
Priest Zhuoer frowned upon seeing this, as if he felt nervous, and then turned to look at the battle below.
The three people quickly used this short time to successfully get into the cave against the wall.
The drow is a priest, and Zola is also a priest, and compared to the drow who can only tear up scrolls and pretend to be able to cast magical spells, Zora has no restrictions on his spellcasting ability.
She just used 'evade detection', and the effect was literal. If the drow priest could still cast spells, it would not be easy to hide it, but it would not be possible if he could only tear the scroll.
The power of the scroll is, in most cases, weaker than the caster himself. The same applies to the conflict between detection and counter-detection.
The three people who successfully entered the cave had the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. In short, let them continue fighting. We are finally here.
But maybe the invisible fate didn't want them to go so easily. Just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the sharp sound of the wind. When they turned their heads, several stars emitting red light ran towards them, dragging the eye-catching afterimage. Above the cave, large cracks were left, as well as boulders that were constantly shaking.
It looks like it's going to collapse!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"Miss Aldai, are you okay? Tell me where you are injured."
Zola dragged Aldee and Nemea out of the rubble, feeling like dragging a salted fish.
Nemea was lucky and was just recovering from his injuries, while Aldai shook her head and was still a little dazed.
The cave collapsed so fast just now that the three of them didn't even care about maintaining the invisible sphere. They ran all the way and had no time to see where the cave led.
But just when he was about to escape the collapse, he was eventually caught up.
The magic shield that was always attached to Aldee's body helped withstand most of the direct impacts, and successfully allowed Zora and Nemea around her to run out, but Aldee herself was hit by a stone because she was a step too slow. .
Thanks to the magic shield, otherwise your head would be smashed into eight pieces.
After a moment of relief, the dizziness slowly faded away, replaced by heart-wrenching pain.
"My foot seems to be broken." "Lie down and don't move. I'll treat you right now."
Bringing a priest can not only act as a T, but also as a nurse. Zola is the most fluent in using divine magic among the Knights of the Guards, so Aldee picked Zola first on the personnel list.
She first checked Aldai's foot to see if the bones were broken or shattered. After confirming that there was no dislocation but only bone fractures, Zola used healing techniques to treat Aldai.
The dim cave illuminated by the sacred healing light also made the severe pain subside quickly, but the healing technique was not that effective for bone injuries, and it was only an emergency treatment now.
Then she called Nemea and asked her to come closer. Zola clasped her hands together and started the healing prayer while reciting the teachings of the Demon King Cult.
This is a range-type healing magic. It is more effective than healing magic, but it takes time to take effect little by little, so it is not a magic that can be used in battle.
The wounds on the three of them slowly disappeared with the healing aura. Aldai breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as comfortable as lazing in the sun.
The good news is that no one's injuries were serious. Except for O'Day, who suffered a broken bone, they were all just healed wounds. And because the cave collapsed, it was impossible for any of the three parties to pursue them directly.
Bad news.
Aldai and the others had no way out, they had to follow this cave to the dark side.
While she was recovering from her injuries, Aldai thought about what she had just seen.
The appearance of drow is very surprising. There are no drow in the Demon Realm.
What is puzzling is why the drow came to this ruins?
Is it also for the Ring of the Demon King?
Generally, pagans get artifacts in order to destroy and weaken the power of enemy gods.
But there should be no connection between the Demon King God and the Spider Goddess, nor can they be said to be hostile.
Even if the Spider Goddess is unhappy because Li Chengqi has formed an alliance with Eilistraee, let's be honest, you are already on Earth, how can you give orders to believers to come and get the Demon King's Ring?
Aldai thought about it for a while and felt that there were two possibilities.
One is that the Spider Goddess and the Centipede Lord are in an alliance. Since Li Chengqi personally crushed the fangs of the Centipede Lord, the Spider Goddess plans to help her ally regain ground.
This possibility is actually very low. The Spider Goddess is an extremely isolated deity. She has no close allies. The entire Dark Elf pantheon is full of enemies (mainly her children). She has an alliance with the Centipede Lord. It's really hard to imagine.
Another guess is that these Spider Queen's priests intend to please the Spider Queen again.
Once the magic is lost, the social structure of the drow will collapse. While concealing this fact, the priests will definitely actively look for ways to regain the favor of the goddess.
No matter what the means, no matter what the price, the drow will never hesitate.
In this case, the drow may have learned about the existence of the Demon King's Ring from somewhere, and planned to use another god's artifact as a sacrifice to the Spider Queen?
Wait, something's not right.
Aldai suddenly realized that she seemed to be too attached to the Demon King's Ring.
This ruin has shown too many elements that are not related to the Demon King's Ring. It is also a demi-plane, not a real plane.
Could it be said that besides the Ring of the Demon King, is there anything else that the drow or the Glow Ion Yin Cult would care about?
