65 magical pearl

It was only then that the female wizard that Antonya had called out to slowly turned around and looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared with a surprised expression.

Zhao Xu finally recognized the face that was barely visible under the cloak. It was Wang Ningwei, who had left a deep impression on him.

This was their second meeting after a few days.

But Wang Ningwei probably didn't even know that Zhao Xu had already noticed her during the awakening ceremony.

After Zhao Xu estimated the time, he finally understood what had happened.

through the arcane throne, he had met the goddess of magic in the long river of history, causing the throne to be unable to withstand the pressure and be damaged.

the apprentice mages who had awakened in advance thanks to him had been beaten back to their original state, delayed until the throne was repaired.

These two days, the apprentices had become official mages and had come to the square to practice their spell identification skills and casting.

Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief. The Wang Ningwei in front of him didn't have too many extra charm points, so she didn't have the devastatingly beautiful temperament that she had in his previous life. But right now, he could vaguely see that kind of Foundation.

Beauty would add points to a woman's beauty, but when coupled with powerful strength, it would directly reach the point of full marks.

But Zhao Xu didn't feel like he was obsessed at all.

After he had mastered the spell, and after the impact of the power just now ...

He slowly experienced the state of "there is nothing but magic" where he had no desire.

after receiving antonya's instructions, zhao xu had already gathered up his fighting spirit.

in front of him, wang ningwei was no longer a top beauty, but the future number one female wizard in arthur.

"What?" Wang Ningwei's face was elegant and didn't seem to be affected at all.

she glanced at the administrator who had already walked over.

"ningwei, you know them?" A male wizard player also came over and tried to get between Zhao Xu and Wang Ningwei.

Zhao Xu's expression changed. It turned out that Wang Ningwei had never used an alias since she entered the game.

"Respected inheritor." the administrator, who was wearing a gray and gold-rimmed robe, walked over and bowed respectfully to antonya.

"alright, let this female wizard cast her spell on him." Antonya's voice was calm and emotionless.

"why should i?" the male player shouted loudly, the veins on his neck even bulging.

A few other players also gathered around to see what was going on.

Being born on the floating city of Mystra, there were no players of other classes around, so the players from earth were more United.

"Madam, please believe me." at this time, the administrator at the side directly interrupted.

"Please listen to the suggestion of this female wizard and cast a spell on that wizard. i guarantee that this matter will only be of great benefit to you." the administrator's voice was deep and had the ability to move people.

zhao xu shook his head to himself. if it wasn't for the fact that the players from earth had been immune to most of the bewitchment spells over the past year, he would have been able to escape.

The administrator's gesture just now was probably not to persuade her, but to directly use a hint spell to influence Wang Ningwei's mind.

"you guys can go away." antonya raised her voice a little.

It was as if the voice had a great magic power, except for the administrator who respectfully walked to the side.

Even the male player who had stood up for Wang Ningwei at the beginning couldn't help but take a step back.

the players around her were almost intimidated by this aura, and everyone couldn't help but try to guess antonya's level.

"and she's quite pretty." antonya looked wang ningwei up and down.

a pearl streaked across the sky and fell into the pocket of wang ningwei's robe in a perfect curve.

The style that she was wearing now was the one that the players had sewn together with multiple pockets before they could afford to buy a customized magic robe.

as long as you successfully hit him with the force field energy of the 'magic bullet', the thing in your pocket is yours. antonya then pointed at zhao xu, who was standing behind them.

at this time, the curious players who came over to join in the fun couldn't help but discuss.

"that's a pearl?"

"damn, that's 100 gold pieces."

"our medical consumables subsidy is only a few gold pieces a day, and they're just supplies."

"As expected of Ningwei, she was picked out by an NPC boss at first sight."

Wang Ningwei looked at Antonya and shook her head. "I refuse."

Her expression was calm, and she didn't even look at the Pearl.

that's a level 1 mana recovery Pearl, 1000 gold pieces.

antonya laughed as she added weight to everyone's inner thoughts.

all the players around them couldn't help but gasp.

1000GP?

In many cases, it meant different things.

a year later in the game, when all the people on earth had transmigrated to arthur, 1000 gold pieces could allow a family of four to find a place to live and eat for the rest of their lives.

Before transmigrating, it could also allow players to exchange for armor and weapons that could improve their combat power and become the best.

now, when everyone was lacking funds, it was an unparalleled weapon. it was even the key starting capital to gather the players 'forces.

As long as he released a magic bullet, he could obtain the item with a 1000 gold pieces bonus.

The hearts of the players who admired Wang Ningwei were beating fast, and the fire of desire was swaying on the edge of their rationality.

They were getting restless and tried to say, "I'll do it.

"I refuse." Wang Ningwei's voice was light, and it shook the area that had already quieted down.

After she said that, she took out the " Level 1 mana Pearl " from her pocket and walked over to Antonya to return it.

"you don't have enough chips?" Antonya's tone was calm.

"no, i've already used up all my spell slots." Wang Ningwei answered.

"you can use this mana pearl to restore your spell slots."

The administrator who had retreated to the side interjected. He thought that Wang Ningwei didn't understand the power of this strange object.

"I can't guarantee that he'll be safe under the spell," Wang Ningwei answered.

a single magic bullet could take down a mage with low constitution.

some of the surrounding players were already staring at the ownerless mana recovery pearl, wondering when would be the best time to speak.

attacking a player and getting an item worth 1000 gold pieces was just a waste of one of zhao xu's lifestone. at most, they would just have to compensate him later.

who can't afford an account?

"cast your spell on me." Zhao Xu said.

she's my mentor. She just wants you to test my ability. All the risks will be under their control. Don't worry. Zhao Xu said.

Wang Ningwei's way of doing things was out of his expectations. She didn't become a saint warrior, but a mage.

No, it should be said that it was because she was a mage that her strength was enough to keep her alive.

In ancient times, the premise of being a chivalrous hero was to be able to break the rules with martial arts.

"is that so?"

wang ningwei was looking at zhao xu. when she heard zhao xu call her mentor, she let down her guard.

Zhao Xu was looking at Wang Ningwei with eyes as clear as water. It was like a deep spring that made people feel that it was blasphemy to have any evil thoughts about her.

"that's right."

66 Counter spell

"That's good."

After Wang Ningwei finished speaking, she directly held the Pearl in her hand. Slowly, the magical power recovery Pearl lost its usual luster.

it would only be able to condense its original energy the next day.

after her spell slots were restored, wang ningwei's face also looked a little ruder. she walked over to zhao xu and stuffed the mana recovery pearl back into his hand.

this is too expensive. The reward is to restore one spell slot. After she finished speaking, she slowly put some distance between her and Zhao Xu until she was in a suitable position for a mage battle.

At the same time, Wang Ningwei took off the shiny silver necklace on her chest and stuffed it into her pocket.

at this time, other than some ambitious players who were disappointed, most of the surrounding players hurriedly distanced themselves.

from the first day of their training, they had been warned that if they felt that they had cast offensive spells on their companions without permission, they would be expelled from the floating city.

this was also the reason why everyone was casting spells to their hearts 'content in this square tonight.

Now that they finally got to see a battle between mages, how could they not be excited and cooperate?

"it seems like i'm really afraid of killing you by mistake." antonya's voice was transmitted into his heart after zhao xu agreed to it.

"what?"

"the necklace she was wearing performed a ritual. allows the wearer to increase the spellcaster's level by one." antonya explained.

I can use a ritual to increase my spellcaster level by one? "

zhao xu realized that wang ningwei was trying to lower the damage of his magic bullet, but he still couldn't help but be surprised by the ritual.

"yes, my headband of intellect is used to enhance this ritual." Antonya said.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but start complaining in his heart. mentor, then why didn't you just give me the blessing? it's not easy for me to even bring out that ain stone.

"i'll perform a ritual for you. you won't be able to estimate the value. however, if i give you an ain stone with the same effect, you will know what to do and thank me. " antonya put on a show for zhao xu.

zhao xu almost made a sound.

However, he noticed that Wang Ningwei had already stood still and was waiting for him to start.

only then did zhao xu realize that he still didn't know what to do, so he quickly called for antonya.

"Teacher, what do I need to do?"

"Oh, when you were acting cool just now, I thought you had a plan in mind."

Big sister Antonya, someone's going to die.

"Alright, then. You have to be prepared to cast a spell, as long as you successfully identify the other party's spell. I just wanted to use the same spell to cancel the other party's spell."

"it's that simple?" Zhao Xu didn't understand the logic behind this at all.

"If you can kill him, I will give you another piece of magic equipment. let's start now." Said Antonya directly.

the hearts of the people around them immediately tightened, and they were even more uneasy about the magic equipment.

The large circle had attracted the attention of many people, and several managers in the distance were staring in this direction.

The tiles on the ground of the entire underground square were so bright that they could reflect Zhao Xu's figure.

wang ningwei had also entered a different state. she looked at zhao xu with full concentration and started to chant a spell.

Zhao Xu had already read her spell and didn't need to listen to know that Wang Ningwei was going to cast a magic bullet.

After Wang Ningwei took off her necklace, she couldn't knock him down even if she hit the maximum damage of magic bullet 1d4 1 (2-5).

But Zhao Xu couldn't do anything about it. All he could do was look at his character stats.

it was useless for him to recognize this spell. it had to be recognized by the system and connected to the magic source to give him feedback.

As soon as Wang Ningwei finished speaking, the magic bullets were ready to be fired.

wang ningwei was surprised.

She originally thought that Zhao Xu was trying to use a level 1 shield spell to block her magic bullets in an extreme battle of spells.

But to his surprise, at the moment when the energy was about to be fully condensed, there was still no shield in front of Zhao Xu.

the mage players who could reach mystra were all above 16 intelligence, so they didn't leave much for constitution, unless they started with 32 talent points on their first day.

Thinking of this, Wang Ningwei made up her mind and changed her target.

Zhao Xu wasn't blind, but he could roughly see the magic bullet that was about to form in Wang Ningwei's palm.

He wasn't afraid, but that didn't mean his body wouldn't hurt.

The torment of waiting for a verdict squeezed his heart and ground his will.

He suddenly felt the remaining strength in his body surge up again.

the magical domain once again formed a bridge between him and the origin, and zhao xu felt that he had found the right opportunity at this moment.

"What?"

"What's going on?"

"how is that possible?"

countless people exclaimed in shock.

wang ningwei also looked at the magic bullet that had disappeared in her palm in shock.

the birds disappeared before they could even leave a trace in the sky.

antonya and zhao xu also disappeared with him.

there was only one level-one magical power recovery pearl floating in the air and slowly falling.

Finally, it fell into Wang Ningwei's hand and into the spot where the magic bullet had been condensed.

————————————————————————————–

the night sky above the obelisk was bleak, even though many of the castles and towers around it were still lit.

However, from the highest vantage point of the floating city, the starry sky and the three moons filled with mysterious power still occupied a large area of vision.

The air was filled with the smell of rain. Although it could not break through the barrier of the floating city, it still provided some moisture to the land.

"mentor, what was i just doing?"

Zhao Xu suddenly felt his mind go blank. The magic bullet spell slot that Antonya had specially prepared for him had disappeared. At the same time, he didn't see Wang Ningwei's magic missile.

"You know."

"counterspell?" zhao xu said with a hint of suspicion.

"I'm most annoyed by you people who have already guessed the joy in your heart, but still want others to congratulate you again."

zhao xu was already used to his supervisor's straightforward tone, so he didn't really feel anything.

After receiving Antonya's confirmation, it also meant that he had learned another wizard ability.

Counterspell. After successfully identifying a spell, you can use the same prepared spell to cancel out the opponent's spell.

this meant that the day he would leave the floating city was not far away.

"as long as i have the same spell slot, i can cancel the other party's spell?" zhao xu asked antonya for confirmation.

"That's right. counterspell is very powerful and can cancel other people's spells. if not used well, it'll be a burden."

in this world, how could there be so many spells that were prepared exactly the same?

"Teacher, is there no way to make up for it?" Zhao Xu asked.

the books were all very secretive about this, as if they were unwilling to talk about this kind of mage battle tactics.

"yes, a specialty."

"then can i learn it?"

"sure."

when he heard this, zhao xu started to think back to the scene where there was no wizard in front of him who could cast spells.

Suddenly, he remembered another disadvantage of counterspell and quickly asked.

teacher, counterspell can only be used once in a round. If two mages cast spells at the same time, it can't be done. Is there any way to make up for it? "

"yes, a specialty."

"then can i learn it?"

"you can't do that."

Zhao Xu was suddenly a little confused.

"Why?"

"This requires a legendary specialty."

67 the proud son of heaven

"teacher, you can reject me directly next time." After being teased by Antonya for so long, Zhao Xu didn't have the energy to retort anymore.

"I'll try my best."

"teacher, you left that 'magical pearl' to that lady?" Zhao Xu thought about it for a while and decided to ask the question that was on his mind.

currently, there were not many players who could receive 1000 gold pieces as a reward, especially when it was just a simple spell.

"that's right. i remember that the pearl was mine." antonya said.

"instructor, i don't want all of them. I'm just curious as to why you would do that."

"that's because she's the most skilled at using 'magic bullet' in the entire battle. she's also the one who can push you to the extreme and unleash your potential. I picked her, so naturally I have to give her a reward."

When he heard this, Zhao Xu nodded and said, " mentor, I'm not stupid either.

if it was zhao xu who had just started playing the game, he might have believed this.

However, after mingling around for a full ten years in his previous life, he had thoroughly understood one of Arthur's many rules.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

there must be a deep reason behind every windfall.

warlocks were considered one of the less difficult types of spellcasters, but that was only because they had powerful bloodlines.

if he wasn't a transmigrator, he would only feel that the benefits he had received were like cheats that were hot to the touch.

"I suddenly feel that you're quite mature." Antonya said in admiration.

"think about it, why would she have that 1 spellcaster level necklace?"

Zhao Xu was suddenly stunned.

at that time, he was in the middle of a battle and didn't have the time to react.

" she's also one of our targets? " zhao xu couldn't help but think of himself as one of the members of the final scroll.

" she's the focus of the sorcerer's association, not us. " Antonya corrected him.

"In fact, you players have been fighting in Arthur for a year, even with the Lifestone to test and make mistakes. What level do you think the vanguard will reach?" Antonya said,

Zhao Xu had already received the cheat sheet from his previous life, so he hesitated for a while before he replied, " "Level 5."

this was the result of everyone's calculations when everyone transmigrated in his previous life. the remaining players were all scattered players above level 10.

"that's right, but i can tell you that there will definitely be players above level 10." antonya said.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt as if he could hear the deep, furious howls of the wind coming from the calm night sky.

"you saw how extraordinary that female wizard called 'ning wei' was, and even took the initiative to help her. what about us, who have been observing for half a month? The Association didn't create a record and analyze all of you for no reason."

it was at this moment that zhao xu realized that the entire wizard association wasn't as simple as he had thought.

Even Zhao Xu was able to react in an instant and decide to invest in her.

Didn't the Sorcerer's Association prepare to invest a long time ago?

Blue star's venture capital funds would find companies with good prospects to invest in because they represented future growth in wealth.

In Arthur, profession levels were the number one productive force.

perhaps, in his previous life, all the high-level players in the blue star forces were basically selected representatives by the major forces.

For the natives of Arthur, it was already considered extremely fast for them to reach level five in a year.

the players on earth did not have the lifestone to try and make mistakes, and if they died, they could start a new account, so it was impossible for them to achieve this.

Did those players above level 10 not have the resources of a major power to support them?

did this mean that wang ningwei was a player chosen by the mage association?

Their meeting today was not a coincidence, but fate?

"Mentor, isn't this too much of a conspiracy theory?" zhao xu couldn't imagine that there was a huge net behind all of this.

"You're thinking too much," antonya laughed out loud.

"you're the main person i'm responsible for. it was just a spur of the moment idea for me to let you get in touch with her earlier today." antonya said.

"She will definitely become the leader of your group of players. It's a pity that you have not come into contact with her when you are training in the floating city. It's better to be friends than enemies."

"so that pearl of magical regeneration is the bond that will be formed between us the next time? because she will return the pearl to me?"

for the first time, zhao xu felt as if he had been blessed.

he could faintly feel that his true intelligence had increased slightly.

however, he also admired the foresight of the sorcerer association. in the future, when wang ningwei represented earth's forces to visit the northern alliance, the northern alliance would treat her according to the level of the monarch.

the sorcerer's association had directly selected one of the future leaders of the blue star's forces.

in other words, the two complemented each other. with the help of the wizard association, wang ningwei was able to become the leader of the forces on the blue star.

zhao xu was a little thick-skinned and wanted to ask why she didn't pick him.

although he didn't like to deal with those trivial matters, this strong sense of power was enough to make everyone feel light.

"Instructor, why was Wang Ningwei chosen?" zhao xu quickly asked. this was an experience that could be copied.

antonya glanced over at zhao xu as if she could read his mind.

"wang ningwei's human reward specialty is 'leadership',"

"I've never heard of this specialty?" zhao xu asked curiously.

"let's put it this way. the president of our association of mages has this specialty. And he also has a legendary leadership specialty that's one level higher." Antonya said.

" it won't make you cast another spell, but it will allow you to have many powerful companions. "

"on the day of the awakening ceremony, i put on a cloak for you, so no one will recognize you. Today was the first time you met that girl. She didn't know that you were special, but she was able to resist the temptation of a rich girl. She even cooperated with you because of your answer."

even if you didn't have any feelings for her, you still spoke up to persuade her because you knew it would be good for her.

" i was thinking of voting-" zhao xu suddenly couldn't finish his sentence.

why did he want to invest in it and not replace it?

"remember, some of the abilities of specialties surpass the effects of magic and are similar to special abilities. some people are born to be close to others, gather the majority of their strength, and get the support of the majority."

Zhao Xu let out a deep breath.

each cheat-like life had its own characteristics.

he couldn't possibly use up all the cheats in the world.

In his previous life, he had only managed to reach Level 5 after ten years of hard work, but those geniuses had managed to reach level 10 in a year.

now that he was standing higher than the other players, he couldn't possibly tolerate the fact that there were a few hills next to him.

He wanted to be the strongest in Arthur. No matter how the world changed, he would be the sharpest blade.

68 the path of a mage

Over the next few days, Zhao Xu focused on increasing his power level and didn't come into contact with the other players again.

After Antonya's explanation, he finally found out that his magical domain resonated with the source of magic, which was one of the three main domains of a priest.

This had caused him to instantly upgrade his spell identification skill to Level 4.

antonya had also set up the rainbow light orb to determine this.

At the same time, he was immediately sent to take a "magic bullet" like a sheep being driven. This was also to make use of the remaining power of his origin as soon as possible so that he could directly master the ability of "counterspell.

The only aftershock of this incident was that some players who had witnessed it in the underground square posted on the forum.

That post focused on the fact that Zhao Xu had spoken Mandarin and didn't speak the common language at the time, as well as the fact that the female wizard's magic bullet didn't work.

in the end, they came to the conclusion that zhao xu was a player who had mastered counter-spells. this made a lot of forum players scoff at this.

this was because no player had been able to master this ability since the server was launched.

This was a feat that not even the vanguards who had become Level 1 mages on the 7th to 14th days had been able to accomplish.

It would be hard to believe that such a genius had appeared in Mystra, a city that had taken 20 days to become a mage.

The only thing Zhao Xu did was give a like to the comments that were refuting the original poster.

at the same time, the activation of his magical domain allowed zhao xu's own knowledge domain to finally show some signs of being able to communicate with the source of knowledge.

zhao xu spent most of his time every day reading through all sorts of books in the floating city's library.

compared to the time when he had only managed to level up his level 1 knowledge (mystical) after much difficulty, basically every knowledge skill was leveled up very quickly.

After completing the knowledge skills, he also ended the remaining additional languages.

In the end, Zhao Xu followed Antonya to the seventh floor of the obelisk-occult cross.

the entire obelisk was the tallest tower in the floating city, and it was also the base of the final scroll.

the obelisk itself had been modified to expand its space, and at the same time, countless magical barriers had been set up around it. basically, if one wanted to enter, they would have to use a teleportation gate without a level-five teleportation spell.

"teacher, this place is quite luxurious." zhao xu said as he looked around antonya's usual office.

putting aside all the golems that were patrolling outside, just the set of bone-shaped armor in the living room that exuded a fearsome aura was enough for zhao xu to look at it carefully for a long time.

in his previous life, what warriors wanted the most was this kind of incomparably tough and fierce full-body armor.

on earth, it was on the same level as houses and cars.

antonya probably wouldn't be able to wear this kind of armor even if she was a wizard. it was even possible that the armor didn't provide as much defense as her own spells.

"Don't touch it, it's a substandard god weapon." Antonya warned.

Over the past few days, after his focus skill had been upgraded, Zhao Xu had felt that he was able to keep his cool even when something big happened.

When she heard this, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"a substandard god weapon?"

"that's right, this armor is pretty good. it's immune to a lot of negative states, but there's a failure rate of arcane spells, so we mages can't wear it. it's a pity that you're a mage too, otherwise it would suit you. with your priest divine spells, you'll be a weapon on the battlefield."

zhao xu couldn't help but walk around the armor. " mentor, aren't you afraid that it'll be stolen? "

"Experts who can break through to this level will only steal from the lowest level. What's the point of coming here? it's just a broken lesser divine artifact."

"what's there?"

"What do you think we should be called?" antonya chuckled.

Zhao Xu nodded and finally understood. It turned out that the legendary Scroll that their faction was guarding was placed at the bottommost level of the obelisk.

It involved the secret of every goddess of magic's Ascension.

zhao xu would often think about all sorts of small details that seemed off, and now that he was here with antonya, he finally couldn't help but feel curious.

He said in a low voice, " master, you blocked all detection and divination spells here, right? "

"Nonsense. even divine power might not be able to hear this." Antonya continued, " the greatest value of that armor as a divine weapon is that it can interfere with divine power after being enhanced by legendary spells. if you say the god's real name here, they may not hear the rest. of course, don't seek death, i don't want to attract the god's attention."

when he heard this, zhao xu finally felt a lot more at ease. so it wasn't because he was handsome.

"teacher, since the scroll involves the secret of becoming a god, why didn't anyone secretly read it?"

The city walls could stop the enemies on the outside, but they could not stop the rebels on the inside.

no matter how high he climbed, he was still a follower of the goddess. how could it be more comfortable than being a master god?

antonya was looking at the new official documents from that day.

"I'll put it this way. Basically, every legendary-mage in the 'final scroll' has seen that scroll. Thus, the secret of becoming a god is known to everyone."

zhao xu suddenly felt that this topic was a little too important for a level 1 player like him, but he couldn't help but be curious.

he looked at his priest's divine power and saw no signs of disappearing. he quickly asked, " isn't that even stranger? "

At this moment, Antonya carefully sized up Zhao Xu. usually, people only dare to ask about this kind of thing when they're about to become advanced Wizards. You're quite brave.

after antonya had explained all the things to him a few days ago, zhao xu's state of mind had taken a huge leap forward, and he wasn't as cautious and cautious as he was in his previous life.

"mentor, that is?" zhao xu raised his voice slightly.

" come over and learn your next specialty. after that, go out and gain experience. " antonya said angrily.

Zhao Xu realized that this was the first time Antonya didn't give him a direct answer.

In the past, even if it was a legendary secret, Antonya's personality was to be Frank.

He had a vague feeling that the organization " final scroll " could win over so many powerful legendary mages because it was not as simple as guarding the scroll itself.

"you have two other specialties, right?" antonya asked softly.

zhao xu nodded. " i still have to decide on the level 1 talent and the human talent reward. "

before this, he had already chosen 'bizarre foresight' and 'spell proficiency' for his two flaw specialties.

" then tell me, what other abilities do you want to improve? " antonya asked.

"Mentor, didn't you say that you can arrange the specializations?"

" idiot, you can decide the order of learning first and learning later. besides, our arrangement is just a rough scope. we didn't set it so firmly. in any case, they are all very strong. "

when he heard this, zhao xu started to feel a little conflicted.

he examined his spell panel and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What did he lack the most?

mages had very few spell slots every day, but now that he had more priest divine spells, he could make do with them.

suddenly, zhao xu's eyes looked at the spell slots that he had prepared.

"mentor, is there a specialization that can increase the degree of freedom? like bizarre forethought, i can cast whatever spell i want to." zhao xu asked.

"Yes,'multi-talented spellcaster'."

69 the last day

After spending so much time with Antonya, Zhao Xu had come to understand something.

any of the terms that antonya mentioned were ones that he had no impression of in his previous life, and they were usually all extremely powerful specialties.

He could even hear the words 'congratulations on obtaining a new cheat'. .

He didn't think that he would be able to make another fortune from Antonya before he left the starter village.

Then Antonya began to describe the effects of this specialty to him ...

[specialty: multi-talented spellcaster

[prerequisite: able to cast spells spontaneously.]

[ effect: use two spell slots of the same level to cast a spell that is one level higher than the one you know. ]

"Spontaneous? what you know?" zhao xu was a little confused. "mentor, this isn't a mage's specialty, is it?"

"That's right, this was originally a Warlock's specialty," antonya said in a soft voice.

Zhao Xu heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder she was so spontaneous.

warlocks and mages used the same, or perhaps even more, arcane watches, but they had never been as good as mages.

This was because they could only choose a limited number of spells to fuse with their bloodline, and a few spells at every level would not be enough to deal with most situations.

However, warlocks could cast spells on their own, which meant that they could cast any spell they knew without any preparation.

"Teacher, a wizard needs to prepare spell slots, but they don't have the ability to do so on their own." Zhao Xu corrected him.

however, he couldn't help but have an unpredictable guess in his heart.

could it be that antonya would give him the ability to cast spells on his own?

Then he wouldn't be called a mage, but an Archmage.

Basically, every mage's brain would think about what spells to prepare for that day's adventure. Sometimes, they could only prepare some commonly used spells to cope with the changes.

"You have the ability to cast spells spontaneously." Antonya began to cast a spell to create the ritual materials as she spoke.

"teacher, i can't possibly multi-profession as a level 1 warlock, right?" zhao xu said. at this point, he had already taken up two of the level 1 classes for the double elite.

if he wanted other classes, he would have to wait until he reached level 2.

"You guys, since you have the character card, why don't you take a good look at the character card's profession abilities?"

zhao xu quickly scanned the area, and his pupils immediately contracted. he had noticed that he had the priest ability.

Zhao Xu was a little confused. but this spontaneous casting only means that I can turn any divine spell into a healing spell.

"That's true, but this kind of spontaneous casting is considered to have met the prerequisite." Antonya explained, "ever since the era of disasters, many of the rules have changed. After that, the ability of a priest to cast spells on their own will fulfill the requirement of this specialty.

however, there aren't any mages who have double elites. They only have one class, so it's rare for them to multi-profession as a level 1 priest. Naturally, they didn't notice this.

antonya had already used a pen made from a mysterious material to draw the ritual's magic circle on the ground.

Zhao Xu started to realize that there were some things that no one would know before they had tried it out.

if there really was a specialty library in front of him, he might have missed treasure mountain.

after a while, the entire ceremony was completed, and zhao xu sat down on the most important star position.

After Antonya lit up the incense, she started to chant an incantation behind him.

as the incantation started to ring in zhao xu's ears, he started to feel a little sleepy.

Slowly, just as Zhao Xu was about to lower his head and nod, the sudden movement of the joints woke him up.

he immediately woke up and turned around to look. antonya had already wiped away all the engravings of the ceremony.

"how long have i been asleep?" zhao xu asked. he felt like his throat was a little dry, as if he had slept for a long time.

"It hasn't even been one round yet." Antonya explained, " most warlocks 'specialties are like this. you've already obtained it. "

When he heard this, Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief. If only all the skills and specialties in the world were like this.

zhao xu suddenly realized something. " mentor, does that mean that i can now use level 2 spell slots? "

According to the specialty's description, he could cast a level 1 spell at the cost of two level 0 spell slots.

Or, he could use two level 1 spell slots to cast a level 2 spell.

at the same time, he could freely choose the spell he wanted to cast, just like a warlock.

this was the freedom he wanted.

" that's true, but you don't know any second-level spells, so it can only be used to surpass magic. " Antonya said.

and don't even think about it. This is not enough to satisfy the advancement requirements. The catastrophe hasn't broken the rules of Arthur yet.

zhao xu nodded in surprise.

then, antonya handed zhao xu a small booklet and said, " take this. this is the rest of your abilities. you'll have to learn them on your own, so there won't be any more ceremony-related awakenings. "

zhao xu took-look at it and saw that it was written in the dragon language: " spell endurance and how to prepare-supreme magic spell. "

It was the invincibility specialty that could last a spell for an entire day.

however, even if he learned it, it would be useless. even if the spell could last for a rank 0 spell, it would still have to wait until he had a rank 6 spell slot.

"instructor, it's useless for me to learn this. i can't use it before i reach level 11."

" just take it if i tell you to. you don't have any spell slots to use even if you learn instant cast or extreme effect. " Antonya instructed, " this book is very important. Go back and drip a drop of blood on it. That way, only you will be able to see the words.

"however, those words will only be displayed once. if you can't remember them, don't flip through the pages. The content would disappear after flipping the page. at the end, there's also some knowledge on how to prepare spells with specialties. you can just take a look for yourself."

Zhao Xu took note of Antonya's warnings. This was also the first time he had come into contact with such a special magic book.

he went back to practice this metamagic feat. even though he couldn't use it for the time being, antonya wouldn't do anything to him.

However, from the other party's tone, he definitely wouldn't wait until he was level 11 to use it. He even suspected that he wouldn't be able to use it for many levels.

he would just take it as taking one less flaw.

"alright, congratulations. I've already completed my studies as a mage." Antonya suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

When he heard this, Zhao Xu suddenly stopped. He had only been here for less than half an hour.

does this mean that he can leave the novice village?

Zhao Xu, who had thought that he would have to learn for another week, almost didn't know how to react.

he was still planning to stay here and get some inside information.

"As for the rest of the skills, you can slowly improve them when you're on your own adventures."

the final scroll's member, secret inheritor 'zhongxia', as the inheritor, I'm now giving you a mission. antonya said to him seriously.

"..."

70 The path of return

As Zhao Xu stood in Hurricane city, he once again felt the familiar feeling of a bustling commercial town without any traces of magic.

this was more like the world where the people of arthur lived.

hurricane city was considered the hub city to the north of the broken sky mountain range.

This city, which was said to have been destroyed by a storm spell cast by a legendary wizard, had become extremely prosperous after nearly a hundred years of reconstruction.

Every day, countless caravans would set off or return from the city, transporting the materials from the dozens of towns under the jurisdiction of the Tianbei Business Alliance.

But after the sense of familiarity passed, Zhao Xu looked at the map of the entire sky broken mountain range in his hands and felt a slight headache.

the mission antonya had given him was very simple-

she had thrown zhao xu from mistra, which was south of the broken sky mountains, to hurricane city, which was north of the broken sky mountains.

he wanted him, a level-1 character, to return to the city of magic, mystra, without teleportation.

the distance between two big towns was hundreds of miles in a straight line, not to mention the huge risk of crossing the broken sky mountain range.

even with the power of the tianbei merchant union, they had not been able to open up a safe relay road.

Zhao Xu estimated that by the time he returned to Mystra in half a month, he would have already become a level 2 wizard, and he would be able to advance to become an archivist with his other class.

In the last six years of his previous life, Zhao Xu had participated in countless outdoor adventures, so he wasn't worried at all when it came to his experience.

the only problem was that his health points were not high enough to allow for mistakes.

after zhao xu had become a cleric, his health dice had become d6, which was the same as a cleric's. even though it wasn't as good as a traditional cleric's D8, it was still enough to make a wizard's D4 look bad.

His health points were now at 8 HP, which was a huge increase of 2 points, and his back was also tougher by two points.

a legendary wizard with only 1 hp dared to run amuck in arthur because they were immune to all kinds of damage.

With Zhao Xu's 8 HP, just the aftershock of the attacks would be enough to send him to the Temple of Life creation, let alone taking a round of concentrated fire in the wild.

But dying was another way for Zhao Xu to complete his mission. He would just be resurrected in Mystra anyway.

However, he was afraid that he would not get any good rewards in the future, and it would greatly delay the progress of his own upgrade.

after thinking about it for a while, zhao xu decided to carry his howard sack and walk into a secret alley in the north of the city.

This was the latest message that appeared on Zhao Xu's character stats.

[ adventurer zhongxia has performed a priest 'knowledge' check. Check result =1 (priest) 3 (intelligence)D20=138=12, greater than difficulty DC10, received 'generally widespread legend'. the details are as follows:

compared to traditional priests, priests who practiced taoism were weaker in martial arts than in culture.

[ knowledge ] was a special ability that a cleric had. It was similar to the Bard's [ obscure knowledge ]. Zhao Xu's knowledge skill level was low, and it was more focused on specific problems.

Therefore, it was not as fast as the ability 'literacy' to directly understand the local legends.

he immediately knew the most convenient place for him to go through those ordinary rumors.

the location of the secret alley in the north of the city was very remote. the surrounding buildings were densely adjacent to each other. the entire area lacked direct light, and the ground was somewhat damp.

A few people who looked like lackeys were standing at the end of the street and chatting. They glanced at what Zhao Xu was wearing and didn't pay any more attention to him.

However, Zhao Xu's target was none other than them. He walked straight over to them and said in a low voice, " I need a ticket to the southern capital.

The southern capital was located in Hurricane city, which referred to the Magic City of Mystra.

mystra's reputation was so great that ordinary people didn't dare to rashly mention her real name.

One of them was a tall, skinny man who was wearing a linen shirt. He looked at Zhao Xu's robe and said disdainfully, " "what capital do you have?"

"Spell caster, Take Me To Your Leader." Zhao Xu said calmly.

the contemptuous attitude of the people around him suddenly froze. the leader lowered his eyebrows and said, " "My Lord, please follow me."

Zhao Xu didn't say anything and just followed them.

After returning to the town of these mortals, Zhao Xu's experience from his previous life came in handy again.

He was no longer acting like a student who was being taught by Antonya.

He could tell at a glance that these people dressed like minions were mostly ordinary people who had not received professional training, which meant that they were Class 1 civilians.

He wasn't even at the level of a class one martial artist.

and martial artists were already the weaker version of warriors.

Being unable to become a warrior and turning to a martial artist with lower requirements was the ecosystem of the most common people in Arthur.

zhao xu walked for about ten minutes before he arrived at a lively bar. this was also where the leader of the underground forces in the secret alley, caesar, was located.

When he was going upstairs, Zhao Xu took a look at his surroundings and realized that all the sentries, both in the open and in the dark, had indeed been set up.

but when zhao xu went to a place he was unfamiliar with, he would probably first figure out the route he would take to break out of the encirclement.

He had three of the killer moves that Antonya had given him in his bag, and his reward would be deducted for every move he used.

however, if it was really inappropriate, he would use it without hesitation.

Caesar, who had been sitting in the corner and chatting with his friends, sat up straight when he heard his subordinate's report. He sized up Zhao Xu and said, " you're the one who's going to the southern capital? "

Zhao Xu nodded.

"Earth players?" An ordinary person like Caesar would be able to tell at a glance.

After a month of exposure, the Arthur natives were used to calling these earth adventurers players.

It was the aura that Zhao Xu was giving off that made Caesar think that he was a resident of Arthur just like them.

"that's right." Zhao Xu said.

currently, the players had yet to get involved in too many organizations, and many organizations liked to arrange for players to be their peripheral fighters.

They dared to risk their lives and not fear death, and it was very practical.

"Oh, you earth players should know more about the situation in the Tian Nan mountain range."

I know that the two towns at the foot of the North Mountain are trying to break away from the business union. Basically, regular business travelers have given up on their plans to cross the southern mountain range in the near future. That's why I came to you.

At this time, only these underground forces "smuggling groups still dared to risk crossing the sky broken mountain range.

They were the only ones who weren't afraid of backstabbing and dared to bring outsiders along.

it seems that you've inquired about it before. Then, Mr. Spellcaster, how much are you willing to pay for such a ticket? " Caesar said after thinking for a while.

As a public security officer in his previous life, Zhao Xu had raided the hideouts of these underground organizations more than once, and he had killed more than three of them on the spot.

In addition, he had a trump card in his backpack, which gave him a psychological advantage.

if he really wanted to haggle, he could even charge a escort fee.

however, these were all worldly possessions. reaching mystra was more important to him.

"When we encounter a battle, I'll join in and provide magical support. However, if the situation doesn't look good, I'll leave the battle on my own."

after hearing the other party's words, caesar was relieved. this was his bottom line.

It would not be difficult to kill this spell caster if they really turned hostile, but the subsequent troubles would be too great.

a few days ago, a player from the neighboring power had stolen the wallet of a player from earth and was discovered.

On the spot, thief's head gathered his men to drive the players away.

who knew that that night, the female adventurer would be able to gather dozens of adventurers of various professions to besiege and kill the thief organization?

the players in the alleyway nearly paled at the mention of this incident.

they were here to earn money, not to cause trouble.

" the few adventurers from earth in the bar are also going to the southern capital. i think you're probably of the same status as them. later on, you'll join their team and act together. "

71 chapter 71-make do with each other

zhao xu looked at the four players who were sitting around the bar counter, and they were also looking at him.

a warrior wearing leather armor and carrying a big machete, a rogue holding a dagger, a bard in the corner, and a female trainee priest?

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel his heart ache a little when he saw the warrior's equipment.

the warrior class was really too poor. in the early stages, they had to choose the cheaper weapons and armor. even though they could wear heavy armor, they could only choose light armor with low defense.

There were also obvious scratches on the leather armor, and they didn't even have the budget to repair it.

Caesar's man left after giving them the time and place to meet tomorrow.

Zhao Xu just sat down and said, " let me introduce myself. I'm zhongxia, a spellcaster. My destination is Mystra.

"fengye, level 1 warrior. same destination." the warrior's voice was very rough.

"Rainbow, Level 1 rogue, same as above." the rogue was still a young man, probably not even in college.

" south pole frog, level 1 bard " the bard was about the same age as zhao xu, and he was probably also skipping class to play games.

"Youyou, cleric apprentice." when the cleric saw zhao xu, she couldn't help but shrink back a little.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown when he heard the last word 'cleric apprentice'. He had guessed right.

miss cleric hasn't finished her training yet. There's no need for her to get involved in this mess.

they were all players, so there wasn't much to be polite about, so zhao xu went straight to the point.

This wasn't a spring outing, and they were going through the entire Broken Sky Mountain range. He didn't plan on saving any of the three trump cards that Antonya had given him.

"no, youyou is the reason why we must go to mystra." the warrior maple leaf said. he was the team leader.

Although it was still daytime, a group of adventurers had just returned with a full load. The atmosphere of the entire Tavern immediately reached a climax, directly suppressing their voices.

"Tell me?" Zhao Xu, who had been around for a long time, knew very well that he had to pull out every single thorn before he went on an adventure.

who knew what kind of mine would explode on the road?

"mr. spellcaster, you're just in our team. if you don't want to cooperate, you can hide behind us if we encounter any danger on the way. As long as the three of us don't fall, you'll be absolutely safe." the bard, the antarctic frog, said.

zhao xu laughed in his heart. it would be a pity if someone so enthusiastic didn't become a saint samurai.

However, this team was able to speak without the captain's permission, so it was obviously not the kind of team with high discipline. It was more of a group of friends.

He didn't have to worry about the four of them attacking him at the same time.

as long as they didn't attack together, he was confident that he could kill them separately.

"No, I'm just curious. Even if the journey is smooth, it may take half a month. You can level up, but what about the trainee cleric?"

as zhao xu spoke, his gaze fell on the priest yoyo, who was wearing a priest's robe.

The other party didn't even have the most basic Holy emblem of a priest on his chest.

in the early stages of the church of gods, when they caught priest players 'behavior, even a disrespectful punishment would be considered light.

Only a dead pig like Zhao Xu, who wasn't afraid of boiling water and had the guts to take back his Level 1 divine spell, would dare to swagger around and put the Holy emblem in his pocket.

actually, it was me who changed my faith. The priest at the side finally spoke up, his voice filled with an indescribable weakness.

Zhao Xu's eyes twitched. The priestess looked quite pretty, and she looked exactly like a girl-next-door.

if his sister had known that arthur's priests could be buffed with divine spells and use a warhammer to fight monsters head-on, she probably wouldn't have worn this robe so easily.

the priest changed his religion? " Zhao Xu thought back to the term.

" don't tell me you changed your religion after receiving almost half of the training? " Zhao Xu started to have a bad feeling about this.

"youyou only changed it after she got the divine art." Rogue rainbow, who had been silent all this time, explained.

Zhao Xu had lived two lives, and all he wanted to say right now was six.

did they really think that the church of the gods was a restaurant, where they would leave after eating their fill?

it was no wonder that the woman named youyou couldn't transfer to the church in the area of the tianbei merchant union.

zhao xu didn't even need to check his religious knowledge to know that the pattern on this youyou's robe belonged to the goddess of business and wealth.

her destination was mystra. it was clear that yoyo was going to join the goddess of magic's faction.

the goddess of business and wealth and the goddess of magic were on the same side, so it was a taboo to change sides internally.

Priests who received divine spells were allowed to return to their faction's faith if they wanted to. As long as the faction's power could supply divine spells, they would not lose anything.

this was also a backup plan that zhao xu had left for himself.

If you switched sides to the gods of the enemy forces, then the other party would also settle this matter for you. If they could take you in, they would definitely give you enough bargaining chips.

However, if they were to switch to a God of the same faction, they would have to undergo a test of faith.

Fortunately, this probationary female priest had not officially become a level 1 priest, and had only received a divine spell.

Therefore, the difficulty of the test of faith was to climb over the mountains and walk to Mystra step by step.

If she really became a level 1 cleric and changed her sect, it would be hard for her not to fight a few demons.

it was no wonder that the other three players had bitter looks on their faces. they had finally managed to cozy up to a healer, but now they had to deal with more problems.

"Mr. Zhongxia, what about you? you said you're a spellcaster? which spellcaster is it?" The warrior Maple Leaf asked.

"Me? i'm a spellcaster." zhao xu started to make things up. he couldn't just say that he was a double elite.

or if he made up a story that he was a level 1 priest and a level 1 wizard, then the forum would be blown up tomorrow.

The team in front of him did not have a priest. Once the battle started, he would have to use a healing spell to expose his identity.

Zhao Xu thought about it and decided to let it go. After all, this girl was going to be a priest of the goddess in the future.

he just hoped that when the clergymen of the church saw that he had escorted a young priest for thousands of miles, they would at least compensate him.

"mr. mage, you're lying." suddenly, a cleric apprentice hiding in the corner said.

"What?" zhao xu didn't expect that his lie wouldn't even last for 30 seconds.

" i've read the church's classics, and there's no 'spellcaster' profession. "

zhao xu grinned. it was true that they were family.

he loved to read so much when he just entered the game. it was indeed a pity that he did not rely on the goddess of magic, who had the divine title of knowledge.

" oh, oh. i remember it wrong. he called me teacher, right? " zhao xu thought about it for a moment and decided to use a spellcaster class that wasn't really suited for combat.

The expressions of the four players on the other side suddenly froze. It seemed like Zhao Xu was the one who really needed them to take care of him.

A few days after the server opened, some players were unable to adapt to the 11 basic adventure classes and switched to other common classes, such as martial artists, instructors, prominent families, and experts.

the common point of these common professions was that they were relatively weak.

Lacking in combat power was already a rather polite statement.

A few of them started to understand what was going on. They understood that Zhao Xu was too embarrassed to say anything and had chosen a noob class to make do with it.

" alright then, mr. zhongxia. tomorrow, we'll meet at the time and place mr. laco just set. is there a problem? "

"No, I didn't," Zhao Xu replied decisively.

"good, let's have a pleasant cooperation." The warrior Maple Leaf said.

at this point, he no longer had any interest in learning what spells mr. zhongxia had.

72 the eve of the journey

caesar's convoy was scheduled to gather outside the town before dawn and set off. in order to prepare for the divine and arcane spells, zhao xu had to come online two hours earlier.

he didn't cast much yesterday and kept all his spell slots, so he didn't need to spend time preparing them.

But Zhao Xu, who was in the good faction, still obediently changed the spells he prepared after getting to know his four friends.

Multi-talented spellcaster could help Zhao Xu bypass the restrictions of preparing arcane and divine spells, but the price of two spell slots was quite high. A poor kid like Zhao Xu still had to be thrifty in the early stages.

preparing a spell usually required a quiet environment, so zhao xu found a normal room in the bar he was in the day before.

In Arthur's towns, most of the taverns and inns were operated as one. Ordinary civilians wouldn't stay there for no reason. Most of them were visited by adventurers. Hence, it was the easiest place for players to gather information.

After Zhao Xu finished meditating and praying, he started to clean and check his weapon.

the bag that antonya had given him in the beginning was actually filled with a lot of adventure supplies.

Although there were basically no magic items, there was a wide variety of them, enough to meet one's adventure needs.

the light crossbow in his hand was his next long-range weapon. one shot with 1d8 damage was much higher than his level 0 spell.

This was also the reason why mage players were criticized for being inferior to dogs at Level 1. Their damage spells were not even as high as normal attacks or arrows.

However, this 35 gold pieces light crossbow was not something that even Mage players could purchase in bulk.

it wasn't that the players were stingy and didn't want to spend money on equipment, but they couldn't afford arthur's crossbows.

One gold coin could only be exchanged for 10 arrows. Basically, every empty shot meant that a silver coin had been dropped from the wallet.

after he checked how smooth the handle of the light crossbow was, zhao xu loaded an arrow and waited.

then, he polished the rough parts of his wooden stick and fastened it to his waist with a buckle.

in zhao xu's previous life, he could actually use a two-handed greatsword very well, but right now, the special feature of the cleric class only gave him the " expert in light weapons " stage.

Unless he was willing to spend more of his specialties, it would be impossible for him to reach the " expert " realm when he used a military weapon like the greatsword again.

if he used it forcefully, he would lose the feeling of being one with his martial arts, and it would be harder to hit his opponent.

He looked at the hourglass and saw that it was almost time for the appointment, so Zhao Xu packed up his things and went straight downstairs.

at this time, the players were already online and were waiting for him in the carriage outside the tavern.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows a little. Caesar was still an honest man. He was even willing to ask his men to drive a carriage to send them out of the city to meet up.

zhao xu said goodbye to fengye and the others, then got into the carriage. the wheels of the carriage wobbled as it slowly drove out of the city.

with an outsider like zhao xu around, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. the team that had been very friendly became silent.

Zhao Xu had ridden on wild horse carriages many times before, so he wasn't surprised.

he re-examined his character cards and began to think of various plans.

when he had played against antonya earlier, he had been given guidance without a time limit, so he had been able to play his moves calmly and even back out.

it was the first time many players experienced a battle in the wild, a real life-and-death confrontation. their movements would be distorted, and it was not uncommon for their weapons to fall to the ground.

but as he looked at his character stats, zhao xu started to frown.

that line of [potential points: 0/5] had not changed since its appearance.

Zhao Xu could only sigh. In the eyes of the final scroll, this ability was even more powerful than a double elite.

Unfortunately, he could only recover it by leveling up, or wait for the day when he could cast a spell to recover his potential points.

The only thing he could do now was to imagine how he would defeat all the players in the future.

"Mr. Zhongxia, why didn't you become a Bard like brother frog in the beginning? big brother frog also didn't pass the apprentice training at the beginning, so he can cast spells even if he's a poet. "

the priestess, who was sitting in the corner, saw that zhao xu was frowning and deep in thought, so she spoke up to break the silence in the car.

when zhao xu heard this, he raised his head and was a little stunned.

Little girls these days had such a personality, but they still had to hit a sore spot.

The level 1 spell list for priests and the level 1 spell list for Wizards had some overlapping parts.

The players could tell at a glance.

Yesterday, he was afraid that he would cast a priest divine spell and a wizard arcane spell, which would arouse suspicion, especially when there were spellcasters like bards and priests in the field.

that was why he used the name "mentor," a class that the players were not very familiar with.

As long as he used it, he would righteously say that it was his mentor's spell.

zhao xu was well aware of the dangers of the wilderness, and he was also afraid that admitting that he had some skill would affect the judgment of these players.

the road ahead of the caravan was still fine, but if they really ran into danger in the sky broken mountain range, zhao xu was pretty sure that they would most likely die.

in arthur's wilderness, there was no mention of monsters respawning by region. After frequent conflicts, the merchant team would become the focus of countless monsters.

The aftermath of the battle, the smell of wounded blood, and the startled birds were all signals to those monsters.

Therefore, if the situation wasn't right, it would definitely be the best situation for everyone to run away.

If Zhao Xu was given Level 7, then he would still barely be able to play the role of a Tiger in a Wolf's Den.

Now that he was Level 1, he was more of a self-help person.

zhao xu went straight to the underground organizations 'smuggling caravans because he didn't want to feel too much pressure when he ran.

in the face of evil, the good camp also knew how to run. those who didn't run were called paladins.

Zhao Xu thought about it for a moment, but he still replied, " "Because I caught a cold that day."

Upon hearing this, rainbow, who was busy counting the caltrops in his hands, looked up at him.

"What does it matter?" the priest yoyo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if I don't choose a poet or a teacher." Xu Zhao said with a smile.

The entire carriage immediately fell silent again.

Zhao Xu was actually feeling pretty good about this. If he didn't say this, this little cleric girl would probably ask him what spells he had prepared for the day.

When that time came, Zhao Xu wouldn't be able to say anything, and he wouldn't be able to say anything either, so it would be better to establish a cold and indifferent image from the start.

he would protect his own life, and he didn't need to befriend these players to get them to protect him.

On the forums, there were already quite a few star players with powerful specialties.

if everyone received the same training, you would be different. if you learned additional specialties and spells, you would become special.

there had been posts on the forums about zhao xu becoming a cleric in a day, but the popularity had only died down after the thread starter couldn't provide any new evidence for the past two days.

fame represented income for people on earth, but for someone like zhao xu, who had a lot of money, it was just a burden.

In an instant, the wheels that came to a sudden stop broke the silence in the car.

zhao xu was the first to pull open the curtain and get out of the carriage.

However, when he saw the carriages of supplies in front of him under the light of dawn, he suddenly had a headache.

it would be a blessing from the goddess if there were no accidents on this trip.

73 The enemy in the forest

as one of caesar's subordinates, luck also participated in the transportation of the merchant group.

He was the leader of Zhao Xu and the other players, so he brought them to meet up with Noah, who was in charge of the smuggling operation. Then, he told them to follow the 13th carriage.

There were almost twenty carriages in the entire caravan, and there were dozens of people escorting them. Basically, each carriage was assigned a few people.

The atmosphere of the entire group was very solemn, as if they were not escorting goods but prisoners.

when the sun was a little brighter, luck walked over and said to the warrior maple leaf, "from now on, the eighth carriage will be under the charge of the four of you. i don't care what the reason is, unless leader noah gives the order to give up, i'll confiscate the security deposit if you lose this cart of goods. there's no need to even talk about those who are following us to the southern capital."

"what about the spell caster? he doesn't count?" Hearing that luck only mentioned the four of them, the Rogue rainbow cried out.

"he's different from you guys. he's just going with you and taking care of each other. when necessary, he'll also provide support with spells. you've received a reward, how can you be the same?" Luck couldn't help but raise his tone.

zhao xu looked closely at the four of them. if they dared to take this kind of item, they would be digging their own grave. he just didn't know if the four lifestones were worth the reward.

it was actually common for players like them to hitch a ride. they didn't even need to freeload on the most basic food and lodging. if they had something to do, they would work and split the loot. if they had nothing to do, they would safely reach the destination.

also, you must report to me clearly the so-called log-in and log-off time of you players at night. You must also follow leader Noah's request. Once the time is up and we don't see you after half a quarter of an hour, our team will continue to move forward. You guys do as you see fit.

luck repeatedly reminded him about this, and the captain, maple leaf, repeatedly agreed.

and you, Mr. Zhongxia. Although we won't force you to keep watch, I hope you'd better sleep near the caravan, in case you project yourself again and find out that we've already left.

zhao xu didn't have any objections and nodded in agreement.

arthur's players could sleep in the game, but the risk was that if they were attacked at night, they would be very passive and would have to get up before they could even put on their armor.

therefore, many solo players would choose to go offline in the wild after leaving the battle. basically, the time before they went online was equivalent to teleporting back to earth, so there was no risk.

however, this caravan needed someone to keep watch at night. if they were attacked, they would have to move at any time. if they went offline, they would be in a passive position. that was why lake asked maple leaf and the others to set up a tent and sleep in arthur at night.

after lacko returned to the front, fengye began to assign the night watch arrangements to his team members.

After a while, the entire smuggling caravan officially set off.

Hurricane city was destroyed by the aftermath of a legendary spell, and the center of the spell was outside the city.

after nearly a hundred years of natural evolution, this place had slowly recovered its hilly terrain.

zhao xu roughly checked the map and used his knowledge (geography) skill to help him make some judgments. he estimated that during the night, they would have to travel through this forest that wasn't very dense.

compared to normal caravans, which could pass through the post roads set up by the merchant union, this smuggling caravan could only open up a path by themselves.

"youyou, why don't you sit here?" Captain Maple Leaf pointed to a corner of the carriage. There was still half a seat there. Adult men like them definitely couldn't sit there, but Youyou could.

no need, brother Fengye. I have enough Constitution. after walking a few steps, he said slowly with sweat on his forehead.

the carriages of this caravan were basically fully loaded. the tire marks were very deep, and the last few had to cover up the traces left behind at intervals.

under these circumstances, zhao xu and the others naturally didn't have a spare carriage for them to use.

But if Zhao Xu was a level 5 wizard and promised to provide protection, then leader Noah would definitely be willing to do so.

Zhao Xu's 14 points of Constitution also ensured that he would be in a good mental state during this journey.

Basically, the higher one's physique was, the stronger their endurance would be.

back on earth, zhao xu might have felt tired even after running 1000 meters, but with his 14-point physique, even 3000 meters was a piece of cake for him.

"Youyou, did you know that when I was training as a mage, a fun teacher told me that after he reached level five, he had never tried to touch the ground with his feet when he was adventuring in the wild." The poet, the Antarctic frog, teased the girl.

"Why?"

"hehe, about that." just as the poet was about to answer, he suddenly saw zhao xu looking around at his surroundings, so he asked, " "Mr. Zhongxia, Did you know?"

zhao xu was still thinking about the best escape route when he heard this. he couldn't help but answer, " "level 1 spells include summoning a mount, and level 3 spells include phantom foal. If your spellcasting level is high enough, it can cover a day's journey."

"That's right." the poet, the antarctic frog, said lightly, but did not continue.

zhao xu almost wanted to turn around and look at her expression, but he held himself back.

zhao xu mumbled to himself. could it be that he was trying to test if he was really a spell caster?

were players that cautious now?

Summoning a Mount was an arcane spell, not a divine spell, and only Zhao Xu was able to cast it.

The poet did have a list of Level 3 arcane spells, but he would have to wait until level 8 to cast them. He just didn't know if this poet could last until level 8.

if zhao xu were to cast the summon mount spell right now, with the aid of his ain stone and his delayed spell talent, eight hours would be more than enough.

but the reason why zhao xu was now walking instead of riding a horse was because he hadn't learned this spell yet.

The level 1 arcane spell scrolls that Antonya had given him were still lying quietly in his backpack.

suddenly, the entire caravan began to slow down.

the leader of the caravan was noah, and only the few of them were qualified to ride horses. the speed of the caravan was also controlled by them.

Zhao Xu looked at the forest in front of him, which was much denser and more exuberant than before. Then, he turned around and looked at the things that were being pulled on the carriage.

he hurriedly activated his " literacy " check and the knowledge (nature) check to ask questions.

This time, Zhao Xu's luck was still pretty good. He passed the check and got the answer he wanted.

Zhao Xu looked at his information panel and could only sigh. Luckily, this was a reasonable trouble.

"do you know noah?" zhao xu asked, but he was looking at wanderer rainbow.

the other three all shook their heads, and after thinking for a while, rogue rainbow said in a low voice, " " the boss who was in charge of this is dead. he came from another gang to take over the territory and only recently took over. "

At this time, the entire team had completely stopped, and the four people knew that something was wrong no matter how stunned they were.

Zhao Xu could only hope that before Noah started doing this kind of business, he would understand the situation at the various ports.

He didn't want to face the anger of a group of Druids.

74 The might of nature

"brother fengye, what's wrong?" she looked around and realized that the attendants who were escorting the caravan were also very nervous.

"There might be some obstacles ahead. Youyou, you don't have divine power. Hide." the warrior maple leaf began to arrange the positions of the other three members.

the players just didn't have any experience, but they weren't stupid. after almost a month of fighting, they already had some basic combat knowledge, so they didn't need zhao xu to explain the positioning.

Zhao Xu gently opened his backpack and touched the mark on his back. After he was sure that it was still there, he relaxed a little.

of the three killer moves antonya had given him, one of them had been attached directly to his back.

it would be triggered if he had an accident or activated it by himself.

as long as he didn't use the lifestone, the remaining ones would become part of his reward.

So every time Zhao Xu used it, he was overdrawing the future rewards.

but zhao xu was very confident that as long as he didn't get killed in an instant, he would be able to deal with most of the situations for at least 250 minutes when he activated the trump card that he had behind him.

his deepest impression of this mark was that antonya had paid the price of a legendary spell to speed up the production cycle from 23 days to 23 minutes.

This was only to speed up time, and it did not involve the materials and specialties required for the production.

antonya was able to check on his body's condition, so naturally, it didn't affect him, but zhao xu knew that his character's lifespan had definitely been shortened by 23 days for no reason.

When he thought about how he could strive for eternal life in the future, he didn't care about the price. Otherwise, it would be too stupid to wait for half a month for this mark.

great guardian of the forest, we do not mean to offend you. Please allow us to pass through. This is our treasure. noah finally opened his mouth.

his voice reverberated throughout the forest, and a few of his personal attendants hurriedly carried the boxes they had prepared.

"The guardian of the forest?" the rogue whispered.

"It's the Druids. I'm afraid there's a secret Druid society here. I only know their route now, or else I could have made preparations." the poet, the antarctic frog, sighed.

It was easy to defeat a single Druid, but it would be troublesome to defeat a group of Druids. Arthur often said that all the Druids in the world were one.

even the fearless players wouldn't dare to destroy the forest in arthur.

" that's not right. druids wouldn't rashly stop a caravan. is there a problem with these goods? " the priestess said as she looked straight at the carriage.

However, all the goods in this fleet had been tightly wrapped in oilcloth, not letting a single bit of air through.

"don't tell me it's some animal fur or tiger's penis or bear's gallbladder?" rogue rainbow had already made a bad association.

"no, don't treat these gang members as fools. you know that there are tigers in the mountain, but you still choose to go to the tiger mountain?" The poet. Frog denied.

Zhao Xu stayed in the corner and listened without saying a word, but his evaluation of this team had increased by half a point.

When encountering something wrong, being able to analyze it rationally instead of panicking was considered a pass.

At this moment, the roar of a Lion suddenly erupted in the forest.

"It's a Druid's animal companion." rogue rainbow quickly said. compared to zhao xu and the others, he had already used his listen to detect where the lion was.

"Which type?" zhao xu quickly asked.

"It's a Lion," The Rogue rainbow was confused.

but zhao xu didn't have to ask any more questions.

Many of the caravan's followers were already trembling, and even a warrior player like maple Leaf could not help but gasp for breath.

It wasn't that something strange had happened in front of them. Instead, the ten-meter-tall oak trees around them had been uprooted and turned into towering Tree Men.

No one dared to move, for fear that an unexpected sound would signal the start of a massacre.

immediately after, the oak tree men began to wave their hands and animated the motionless oak trees around them.

as if it was undergoing mitosis, the oak tree men suddenly flipped twice. there were nearly 40 to 50 of them.

the overwhelming pressure of the numbers was slowly tormenting everyone's heart.

zhao xu was able to keep his calm even in the face of such a big situation, but he still couldn't help but say, " Was there a need to?

however, he didn't even need to do a knowledge check this time. at least, he was lucky enough to find the content that he had read when he upgraded his knowledge (nature) skill.

" hey, poet, how come there's no movement at all and this oak tree army just popped out? if they had these six spells, they could easily defeat the current army of players with one move. "

However, the poet. Frog's " Yi Wen knowledge " had just failed the check, and he didn't cast any knowledge (nature) skill. He was helpless in this situation, so he could only keep quiet.

"they were hiding there from the start." zhao xu explained.

The people around him immediately looked at him.

" how is this possible? my detection skill has already reached level 2, and with my 2 points of perception adjustment, how can i not see such an obvious treant with my 4 detection bonus? " Rogue rainbow couldn't help but raise his voice.

" the treant's hiding skill in the forest has a race bonus of 16. " Zhao Xu said calmly.

even if the treant's hiding bonus was negative, with the race bonus, his skill confrontation would surpass rainbow's, a noob rogue.

but at this moment, zhao xu and the others 'attention was drawn to what was in front of them.

A Druid riding a ferocious Lion walked out from the depths of the forest. Behind him, the shadows of the forest were even more indistinct. It was obvious that there were many people lying in ambush.

the druid's face was simple, as if there was a raging fire beneath it. at the same time, the leather armor he wore had all kinds of branches wrapped around it, and the violent lion below his knees revealed its fangs.

"what's the level of the lion rider?" the warrior, maple leaf, hurriedly asked upon seeing this.

Most of the level 1 Druid players were still riding horses, driving dogs, or driving camels. How could they be compared to the level of Lions?

"i think it's level 7?" The priest began to recall.

Zhao Xu looked at the priestess and laughed to himself. This was the disadvantage of relying on memory and not skills.

he also didn't want them to underestimate this druid and the tree man army in front of them, so he said, " "this is a berserk lion. only a level 10 druid would have one."

after saying that, he looked at the surrounding oak tree men and said, " "these tree men were summoned by the level 6 druid divine spell 'oak guard'. these tree men can be used to summon two more of the same tree men. Don't underestimate it, it's a monster with a challenge rating of 8."

Zhao Xu said. The treants probably didn't know what he was talking about, but when he mentioned challenge level 8, these Level 1 players basically knew.

the challenge level was suggested by arthur to challenge this type of monster. it was recommended to have four adventurers above level 8.

Although this evaluation was not very accurate after the era of disasters, and the combat power of monsters of the same challenge level could be as different as heaven and earth, it was still a reference value.

"let's escape according to the situation." Maple said in a low voice.

Although the Druid didn't say anything, it was impossible to have a proper conversation with such a gesture.

Noah, who had been intimidated by the Druid's might, continued to raise his voice. Lord Druid, please allow us to pass. I'm willing to pay a sum of money for the maintenance of nature, and I promise-"

"get lost!"

75 Thunder summon

yes. the Druid glanced at Noah. I have to recall the last person who tried to bribe me, Otmar, after destroying nature.

Luck, who was following closely behind Noah, almost lost his grip on his legs and fell off his horse.

when the surrounding followers heard the name "destroying nature," their faces turned pale.

Looking at the oak tree Men around them, no one could resist the great Druid's anger.

after taking a deep breath, noah gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, as if he could draw the courage he was once familiar with from it. he said seriously, " your excellency otmar druid, how can we even talk about destroying nature? we're just transporting some supplies to the border. "

The Druid Otmar looked down at Noah and said in disdain, " "I don't care about your dirty tricks. I only know that your convoy can't pass through here."

"the items you sent over last time have already destroyed half of nanyu forest. We've discussed and agreed that all resources that are to be used to get between caso city and butan city will not be allowed to pass through beiyu forest."

hearing this, noah's face turned pale. he quickly said, " Sir, you know that we've always been very careful in protecting the forest, and even every time-"

get lost. If it weren't for your leader, I would've been from the Tianbei merchant Union.

After saying that, the Druid otmaris saw that Noah still did not give up and immediately began to chant an incantation.

[ adventurer's spellcraft check on druid otmar 7D20=719=26, exceeded dc20, successfully identified as level 5 divine spell thunder summon ]

zhao xu saw this post flash by and he was stunned.

This Druid really did what he said?

The highest number of lightning strikes was 15 consecutive 5d6 (5-30) damage. No one's health points could withstand such a devastating attack.

In the face of such a scene of a high-level spellcaster chanting, Maple Leaf and the others were completely stunned. They didn't know what would happen next.

however, no one dared to move or do anything that would cause a misunderstanding.

these oak men were enough to destroy them.

Before the knife Hit them, they would hope that things could turn around.

zhao xu looked at the druid, who was casting a spell, and at the clouds of lightning that were gathering in the sky.

none of the level 1 arcana and divine spells he had could solve the current predicament.

If it was a level 3 lightning summoning spell, he could still Dodge it if he ran 70 meters away.

But this Level 5 Thunder summon spell had a range of 300 meters, and there was no way Zhao Xu could pull away from it in six seconds.

This was the tragedy of being a level 1 wizard in Arthur-low health, short legs, and weak spells.

if he was lucky, the warrior maple leaf would probably be able to take it with his 12 hp, but zhao xu's 8 hp was basically not much of a chance.

The entire damage curve was close to a normal distribution, with the probability of 15 or 16 points of damage in the middle being the highest.

if he only managed to hit 5 – 7 points of damage, it wasn't just the goddess of magic who favored him, but also the goddess of luck.

Zhao Xu didn't dare to have such thoughts, so he immediately took out the killer move that Antonya had given him from his backpack.

he was still reluctant to activate the trump card that was hidden behind his back.

Zhao Xu's Howard's haversack could allow him to take out whatever he wanted, and he didn't even need a second to get it. He felt the courage that came with the item in his hand.

but at this moment, there was a loud explosion, and the druid's spell was completed much faster than zhao xu had expected.

a bolt of lightning struck a spot three meters away from them.

the 10-meter-tall trail of lightning caused zhao xu's face to turn white. however, he was calm on the inside and stuffed the thing he was about to take out back into his pocket.

The surrounding people had never seen such a meter-thick lightning bolt, and their faces were pale with fear.

after the lightning disappeared, only the light smoke rising from the ground showed the remaining power of the spell.

No one knew that there were at least 10 more.

The earth also began to shake at this time. The Oak Men around them moved one by one and stepped toward them.

"Retreat, turn around." noah had already realized that this druid was being serious, so he quickly shouted. the attendant who passed the order also hurriedly blew the agreed-upon whistle.

zhao xu had already seen through the druid's thoughts, so he wasn't too worried. he just looked around and moved closer to the four players.

these people weren't afraid of death, but it was hard to say for the followers around them. he didn't want to be knocked down and trampled on innocently later.

the team in front of him consisted mostly of noah's trusted aides, and some of them were his brothers who had gone through life and death with him. they had relied on these core members to barely pull the rest of the convoy back.

"follow closely. it's fine. they won't hit us." zhao xu said to the four of them, who were a little flustered but still kept to their duties.

with that, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky.

however, it still didn't hit anyone this time. the surrounding oak men also maintained a steady pace and approached.

the four of them slowly understood that the druid's spell just didn't want to waste time with them and forced them away.

"How extravagant, using this kind of spell to chase people away." Maple Leaf couldn't help but praise the Druid. He looked at the Druid with a hint of nostalgia.

Zhao Xu laughed when he saw the look on Fengye's face. In his previous life, he had also seen that wizard fly in the sky and use a bunch of spells that made the opposing Army Run away like rats.

at that time, he also looked up to it, sighing that if he missed it, it would become eternal, and he would never have the opportunity to learn magic again.

The five of them ran for more than a kilometer away from the Druid before they slowly stopped.

The originally neat convoy was also scattered, and the number of carriages was also reduced by a few.

Covered in dirt, Noah could only go and gather his men, and he didn't have the time to care about Zhao Xu and the others.

"what's in this car?" After rogue rainbow's face regained its color, he couldn't help but look at the things in the truck.

"military weapons, and the materials needed to make them." zhao xu said softly.

Casso and butan want to be independent from the Tianbei merchant Union, and they are both raising their combat power in a way that is akin to raising their troops. Zhao Xu repeated what he had read on the forum.

Of course, they didn't want to fight, but to arm themselves so that the merchant Union wouldn't think it was worth it to take them down.

brother spellcaster, how did transporting military equipment offend these Druids? " the priest yoyo was also panting a little as she spoke.

zhao xu actually wanted to ask if calling him big brother was the current way of greeting people.

however, he still held back and patiently replied, " "It's mainly because the two cities produced military supplies, wantonly cut down the forest to collect stones and wood, and killed animals to collect fur, which angered the Druids. Therefore, any action to help them must have been cut off."

"so it's to be smuggled into caso and butan. i thought we were going to mystra." The warrior Maple Leaf patted his head and laughed.

Zhao Xu just looked at the cargo carriage. From the very start, he could tell that it was some sort of military equipment from the deep tracks that had been deliberately made waterproof, and from the recent battle.

He had also guessed that the destination of these materials was Casso and butan.

Mystra could make all kinds of magic anti-aircraft cannons on her own, so why would a town that had been destroyed by magic have the chance to transport military supplies?

76 Chapter 76 setting up camp

after more than half an hour of reorganization, the entire smuggling caravan finally found the few carriages that had gone missing. After another hour or two, the skilled attendants finally repaired the damaged carriages.

Noah, who saw that there were no casualties, also knew that the spell was the last warning of the Otmar Druid.

If Noah still dared to try to take the original path in the forest, he would not be greeted by a single-target lightning strike that did not hit anyone, but a direct area-of-effect spell.

unlike earth's densely built roads, arthur, which was more primitive and closed, did not have so many good roads for carriages to travel on.

Those primitive forests that had not been opened up, let alone a carriage, ordinary people with a mountain axe might not be able to walk through them.

noah and the others discussed it for a while, and could only use the alternative plan that the original leader had given them, which was to go around it from the side of the iit field.

Compared to NorthIsland forest, which was guarded by the Druids, the biggest problem with the whole of ITT field was that the monsters were more concentrated and more vulnerable to attacks.

this was also a trial for noah after he took over, so he could only grit his teeth and continue.

After the entire smuggling caravan set off again, it was a peaceful time for most of the day. It was not until night fell that the caravan found a place near the stream to set up a bonfire and set up tents.

zhao xu and the other players took the chance to log off to eat and shower, then quickly came back online.

If the team was attacked and left during this period of time, it would be difficult for a few players to survive in the wilderness. Even if they were only a day away from the town, they might not be able to return smoothly.

Handing over the Lifestone and being forced to return to the city had already become a method for many exhausted players to give up on healing.

This was also the reason why players in the early stages of the game tried to form groups and did not venture deep into the wilderness.

late into the night, everyone sat around the bonfire and chatted with each other. after the emergency escape during the day, the original sense of strangeness had dissipated a lot.

the rogue enthusiastically recalled what he had seen during the day, and the other three players also burst into laughter, as if everything was just an interlude.

Zhao Xu just sat there quietly and reflected on his mistakes today.

noah's group of subordinates did not have any spellcasters. they were basically all level 1 martial artists, and there were even level 1 civilians. at best, noah himself was only one or two levels higher.

Of course, they weren't like Zhao Xu, who had a level 4 spell identification skill. He was able to immediately tell that the spell was the upgraded version of the level 3 spell 'lightning summon', the level 5 spell' lightning summon'.

At first glance, Zhao Xu could tell that even though the spell was a continuous attack, it would only hit one spot in each round. Unless the target was very close to the target, the spell would only kill one target.

There were close to 50 people present, so Zhao Xu's chances of hitting the target were actually very low.

This was also the reason why he wanted to find these smuggling caravans. The more people there were, the more targets there would be. If there were any risks, he would have the opportunity to divert the enemy's attention.

but zhao xu had been completely flustered at that time, and he had placed all his hopes of survival on the three trump cards that antonya had given him.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but call himself stupid.

in such a situation, his first target should have been the tree men.

Back then, if he had put on the mage Armor and his defense could reach level 14, he would not have been able to do anything against these level 12 treants.

only when the defense level was more than 10 levels above the attack power could the hit rate be reduced to less than 50%.

but he could cast a level 1 divine spell on himself.

If he cast Holy domain with the aid of the Ain stone and the spell delay, it would last for four rounds. If those treants wanted to hit him, they would have to go through Zhao Xu's spell immunity check. This meant that there was a one-third chance of them missing.

at the very least, he could cast a level 1 divine spell like the hidden fog spell to suppress the enemy's vision.

However, if he had cast a spell at that time, it was likely that he would have immediately become the priority target to be eliminated.

however, it was one thing to take action, and it was another thing to be able to react in time and make a reasonable plan.

After some analysis, Zhao Xu knew that he was still a new wizard. Everyone knew that he had some battle experience, but the difficult part was that he had to make a quick decision and make the best choice.

zhao xu also understood that the plan he had come up with at the start had been a bit of a waste. he hadn't achieved his goal, so he had to continue making adjustments in the days to come.

later in the night, laker told them that there was a fixed person to keep watch for the night, and it would be their turn a few days later.

the players then returned to their temporary tents to rest.

Zhao Xu didn't use up any spell slots today, so he didn't need to rest for another eight hours to recover his spell slots.

And his spell slots wouldn't refresh at any moment. Eight hours before he prepared for the spell, if he was attacked and cast a spell, it would still be counted as a spell slot for the next day.

That was why mages hated night raids, but it just so happened to be a hobby of wild monsters.

even though zhao xu didn't need to sleep, he still quietly took out the books that antonya had given him and started reading.

wanderer rainbow couldn't help but glance at him. "mr. zhongxia, i didn't expect your backpack to be so flat."

"Visual effects." zhao xu just laughed it off.

The book in Zhao Xu's hands was the tutorial on the "spell endurance" specialty that Antonya had given him. He had been making the best use of his time to read it over the past few days, but every time he read it, he would get confused.

as for the techniques for preparing spells, he had more or less mastered them, and could basically match his spells with the effect of 'spell delay'.

Slowly, when the last magic word disappeared from the page, Zhao Xu had finished reading the entire description of the ability.

It was just that this specialty still didn't appear on his character summon card.

zhao xu wasn't discouraged. he gently closed the book and then dripped another drop of blood on it, and the contents of the book would appear again.

However, if he still didn't understand it after three times, then he might have to ask Antonya for help.

It was already close to midnight, and three of the four players were sleeping in their sleeping bags.

The priest Youyou, on the other hand, continued to read her theology books by the candlelight. She was not distracted at all, just like a student taking a college entrance examination.

In his previous life, based on Zhao Xu's sense of responsibility, he would have at least taught her that her studies were more important than her games.

But now, Zhao Xu could only hope that she could take the pressure and focus on the game.

people would often admire those who worked hard for their goals.

zhao xu let out a sigh and continued to take out the magic scroll in his bag-the level 1 arcane spell " summon mount. "

previously, he had been busy reading that specialty, but now, he was afraid that he would have to walk on this plain until he died.

then he'd better treat his legs well and honestly memorize this spell as if it was in his heart.

Originally, these spells would take 24 hours to master and copy, but Zhao Xu had the enlightened spellcaster ability and his knowledge (mystery) and spell identification levels had both reached Level 4, so he wouldn't need that much time to study spells again.

Only if one was really unlucky would they have to read the entire book for 24 hours.

zhao xu applied some cream on his temples that could stimulate his spirit and help him memorize spells, then he started reading the scroll.

The oil in the lamp slowly turned into smoke under the candlelight, and the entire tent was very quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were the snores of the three male players and the flipping of the books by Zhao Xu and the other man.

suddenly, a wave of howls came, accompanied by the sound of an enemy's whistle, hurried and sad.

77 unable to touch

after hearing the whistle, the few people in the tent immediately woke up.

the warrior and rogue maple leaf quickly grabbed the light armor hanging on the side and put it on. fortunately, it was not heavy armor, or the battle would have been over by the time they put it on.

The priest had already stood up and walked over to pull open the tent curtain. She looked out and said, " " it's too dark. i can't see clearly. the bonfires have also been extinguished. "

The entire convoy also started moving at this time. Compared to Fengye and the others, several martial artists were directly wearing armor and sleeping while waiting for orders according to Noah's rules.

ah ... suddenly, another scream was heard, tearing apart the peace that had already been restored.

zhao xu also put the scroll away. even though the process of copying spells into his mind had been interrupted, it didn't affect him too much. however, he definitely couldn't use the scroll to cast any more spells.

immediately after, another terrifying wail was heard.

All kinds of chaotic voices rose and fell.

"run! i can't take it anymore."

"How did I ..."

hearing these terrifying sounds, priest yoyo was completely stunned, and her hand that was originally lifting the curtain also let go.

"Be careful, it's an undead." zhao xu said after some thought.

If it was only a pack of wolves that appeared at night, they wouldn't have been able to beat the people outside so badly that they couldn't fight back.

In this situation, Zhao Xu cast a level 1 arcane protection spell on himself in advance.

The spell's duration was one minute per caster's level, which was enough for him to use.

this spell could also increase his defense and immunity by 2 levels when facing evil enemies, both of which were 10%.

More importantly, spells could provide protection from the mind control and other attacks of evil creatures.

at this time, the few of them had also finished dressing up. the poet grabbed the torch beside him and lit it, ready to go out.

Zhao Xu quickly stopped the poet. He said in a low voice, " "Your performance should be at Level 3, right? If you can, immediately start chanting when you get out. Choose the song 'boost morale'. "

the poet looked at his captain, maple leaf, and after getting the other party's approval, he nodded.

'chant' was a poet's supernatural ability. it could strengthen all teammates who heard the song. even if the poet stopped chanting, the effect would still last for five rounds.

at this time, the warrior maple leaf took the lead and raised his round shield, leading them out.

The entire campsite looked as if it had been destroyed by a storm, and several tents nearby had been pushed down by the people who had been scared away.

The torch they had lit was the only bright spot beside the stream.

The singing of the poet, the Antarctic frog, entered their ears at the right time.

[ adventurer zhongxia has received the buff of the poet's chant " boost combat power. resistance against charm and fear 1 morale. Attack and damage checks 1 morale. Duration of 5 rounds or more. ]

Zhao Xu and the others could finally see a person in a mage's robe standing about ten meters in front of them.

"Ghost!" Zhao Xu, who had seen these terrifying creatures in his previous life, suddenly shouted out.

However, before he could tell everyone to close their eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes. Then, it returned to normal, as if he had suffered some kind of impact.

When he saw this post, Zhao Xu almost couldn't help but exclaim how lucky he was.

of the 7 points of endurance, 2 came from the priest class, 2 from constitution adjustment, 2 from protection from evil spells, and the last point was from the poet's chant.

Even so, there was still a 50% chance that he would be hit. Fortunately, the check result was good and he passed the test.

Otherwise, he would have been severely injured by the three attributes.

"My first three measurements have been damaged." At this time, the Rogue who did not pass the immunity said in pain, " vitality is the most ruthless. It directly deducted 4 points of my attribute, and I only have 5HP left.

"Me too," the poet. mumbled the poet. however, he immediately continued to sing and provide them with combat power.

Zhao Xu's eyes continued to focus on the ghost in front of him. This kind of creature had almost wiped out his entire team in his previous life, and that was why he still had a lingering fear.

just looking at the other party within 20 meters would cause one to be attacked by the other party.

Fortunately, he had just been successfully exempted, and he would not be affected by the " terrifying appearance " ability for at least 24 hours.

The warrior continued to hold his shield in front of them, trembling. He did not dare to take the risk.

the human-shaped spirit turned around and looked at zhao xu and the others with a cold smile on his face. his ferocious face was barely visible, and it was as if he was in a place between the spirit world and reality.

suddenly, under the faint light of the torch, noah, who had been hiding, held the giant sword in his hands and slashed at the spirit.

The huge sword that glinted coldly in the night slashed into the specter's body without it dodging.

anyone who gave up on dodging, no matter how high their defense level was, would receive a-5 agility penalty. at the same time, only a few bonus points could be effective.

noah's expression changed from ecstasy to shock. his most trusted sword seemed to cut through the air, heading towards the ground without any resistance.

it was as if the ghost in front of him did not exist in the real world.

the guards and followers of the carriage who saw this scene were so scared that they peed their pants.

In their eyes, this spirit was as unsolvable as the legends.

"hurry up and run. you can't hurt the ghosts without a magic weapon." Zhao Xu shouted.

Hearing this, Noah's face turned pale.

He already understood that all power would leave him, and the hard work represented by the countless scars on his body would be reduced to ashes tonight.

however, no matter how unwilling he was, noah hurriedly turned around and fled.

the spirit that was already facing zhao xu and the others felt noah's sword. it turned around in disdain and glared at noah who was running away.

A mysterious power shot out from the specter's eyes. It was silent and traceless, but Noah, who had his back to the specter, felt as if he had been shot in the heart by an invisible arrow. He knelt on the ground and could not move.

Upon seeing this strange scene, the four players 'legs turned to jelly. Even the poet, who was singing to encourage the players, was trembling.

noah was only a martial artist. his level was higher than theirs, and his hp was even higher than the highest-hp warrior on the scene, fengye.

If even he had fallen, then any one of the other five could have been the next to fall.

"don't worry, noah isn't dead yet. you'll only truly die if your hp drops below-10. That's the ghost's 'corrupting gaze' attack. It didn't pass the resistance, so it received 2d10 damage and 1d4 charm damage."

Zhao Xu quickly consoled them so that they wouldn't have to split up and run away before the spirit even arrived.

After hearing that it was the immunity to toughness, at least the warrior heaved a sigh of relief. He, who was at the very front, had just passed the immunity to toughness and blocked the impact of the ghost's "terrifying appearance ".

this successful experience allowed him to recover some of his courage.

in an instant, after the spirit had knocked out noah, it flew towards them without a care.

With that perfect maneuvering and flying speed, a distance of less than 10 meters was not a problem.

No one present had any magic weapons, so they were unable to harm the spirit.

zhao xu immediately started chanting an incantation.

78 Chapter 78 desperation

"magic weapon!"

just as the ghost was about to reach zhao xu, he was able to use his multi-talented spellcaster talent to turn two level 0 divine spells into a level 1 divine spell, magic weapon, and cast it.

zhao xu's hand was still glowing, but he didn't care. he quickly transferred that energy to the sword of the warrior maple leaf.

The knife that had started to have a lot of scratches in just half a month suddenly emitted a bright light, like a glowing weapon.

"1 Magic weapon?" Seeing the weapon information on his character card refreshed, Fengye said in surprise.

Magic weapons were divided into five levels, from 1 to 5. They could increase the user's attack power and damage ability. At the same time, magic weapons could also be attached with other special abilities.

Even the simplest 1 weapon cost 2000 gold pieces. It was not something that the current players could afford. Even Noah, who had been in business for many years, did not have it.

When the spirit saw this, he snorted coldly. His voice was extremely hoarse, like a gust of cold air.

it didn't seem to care about the warrior maple leaf, who was already able to hurt it, and it continued to pounce towards zhao xu.

he already knew who was the biggest threat to him on the field.

brother Fengye, hurry up and hit that ghost. Your weapon can do it. Yoyo, who had learned divine arts, quickly reacted and shouted.

She had lost all her priest abilities and could only hold her shield anxiously.

Hearing Youyou's words, Fengye also came back to his senses. He shouted and made a standard attack move according to the movements he practiced every day. He ran towards the specter and slashed with his sword.

After Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, he couldn't cast any more spells instantly, so he couldn't cast any more spells in the next round. He had no choice but to retreat.

the surrounding priests and rogues also hurriedly raised their shields to protect him, even if they knew they were also in danger.

when the poet. saw this scene, his singing that was boosting the morale of the team stopped abruptly. the morale-boosting effect on everyone immediately began the countdown of five rounds.

The spirit wasn't slow, so it flew around the two of them and headed straight for Zhao Xu.

in just an instant, zhao xu felt the spirit pounce towards him like a bat spreading its wings.

the spirit that had successfully advanced was even more elated. it could already think of how to use zhao xu's hands to kill everyone in the area, just like how it had slaughtered those merchants in the past.

a dark and cold power began to emerge from its soul.

but when the spirit got close and was about to hug zhao xu, the defensive powers on zhao xu's body started pouring out and forming an invisible barrier that destroyed the spirit's power of possession.

[ adventurer zhongxia, your protection from evil ability is in response to the supernatural ability of the ghost's possession and ignores the effects of the devil's soul pot. [ spell duration: 1 minute, 7 rounds of immunity to this effect. ]

When he saw this message pop up, even though Zhao Xu had expected this, he still couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

This was the invincibility of a Level 1 protection from evil spell. He didn't need to be immune, he was directly immune to this effect.

at the same time, the warrior, maple leaf, had finally arrived. he swung his machete at the ghost.

fengye had only seen the powerful warriors in the town with magic weapons. this was his first time holding such a piece of equipment, and his heart was filled with boundless pride.

however, when the blade cut into spectral soul's body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, it did not exert any force.

fengye blinked. he couldn't accept that what he had cut was just an illusion.

"continue. unless it's a netherworld weapon, there's a 50% chance of losing it." zhao xu shouted when he saw this.

This was the scariest thing about spirit world creatures like ghosts. Even if Zhao Xu and the others had magic weapons, there was still a 50% chance that they would miss their attacks.

in fact, this was the result of the specter's choice to materialize. If it did not materialize, the people present would not even be able to see it.

"dizziness!" At this time, the poet frog had stopped chanting and successfully released his only level 0 spell.

However, when the spell's yellow light shot into the ghost's body, it was like rain falling into a stream, with only faint ripples.

zhao xu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. what was the point of using spells that could be used to fight human-like creatures against undead?

but zhao xu didn't have the time to tell the poet. he just continued to chant his spell, " magic bullet. "

A force field missile condensed with magic power hit the ghost's body directly, and the ghost's body shook slightly.

[ adventurer zhongxia cast magic missile, damage 1d4 1=21=3 ]

only force field spells could 100% affect these spirit world creatures without losing them.

But this ghost wasn't like the skeleton that Zhao Xu had seen before, which had less health than average, so this amount of damage wasn't a burden to him at all.

but zhao xu had already managed to get the information he wanted through this attack.

In the end, this specter was just a normal specter and had not reached the point of having luck attached to it.

At this time, Fengye, who had lost one blade, finally swung the second blade, persevering and slashing at the ghost.

however, this time, his attack was deflected by the ghost's deflective force.

The warrior Maple Leaf's face darkened. He did not expect that his attack would be blocked by the ghost's defense.

zhao xu's scalp was going numb. just how much charm did this ghost have?

He was actually able to so easily use his defensive line to block such a powerful attack.

"Foolish." the spirit finally said something, but it was filled with endless ridicule.

it flew away gently and landed in front of zhao xu and the others. then it raised its hand as if it was about to spread death.

[ adventurer zhongxia has performed spellcraft on the ghost in front of him. 7 1d20 =75=12, spellcraft failed. ]

before zhao xu could come back to his senses, he saw a rainbow-like light shoot towards them.

Seven-colored spray!

zhao xu didn't even need to recognize it. he could already recognize this spell that he had used on antonya before.

[ adventurer zhongxia has undergone a willpower check. 4 1d20 =420=24, DC18, successful exemption. ]

zhao xu's body started to go numb, and he saw this notification.

He didn't even have the time to be happy that his luck had reached its peak and passed the check before he realized that his surroundings were silent.

with a single rainbow jet, the ghost knocked out the party of four, stunning them all.

if he didn't pass the immunity test, he would be stunned 2d4 times, then stunned 1d4 times, and then forced stunned 1d4 times.

no matter how lucky he was, he would need four rounds and 24 seconds to recover. if he was unlucky, it would take him 13 rounds and a minute and a half.

This was enough time to send him off.

"Your willpower is too low."

zhao xu said helplessly.

he didn't expect that even the priest yoyo would fall. it seemed that even her class bonus points had been taken back.

now that there weren't any more obstacles, zhao xu was like a delicious meal to the spirit.

The smuggler caravan had long since escaped from the battle.

Zhao Xu chuckled when he saw this desperate situation.

He didn't know if it was his bad luck or the ghost's bad luck to encounter a creature of this level.

79 The candle

The floating city of Mystra, the library of knowledge, a few days ago.

"You were hit by that skeleton? you don't have to keep reading books like how to deal with ghosts to increase your religious knowledge and skills, right?"

when he heard antonya's question, zhao xu just smiled and didn't say anything.

he had once led an entire team to be wiped out by the spirits, so he naturally couldn't tell antonya about it.

"you want to deal with spectral soul?"

Antonya quickly got to the point that Zhao Xu wanted to ask.

zhao xu had always been someone who didn't visit unless he had a reason for doing so, so he wouldn't do something like this for no reason.

"although it's unlikely that you earthlings will encounter ghosts, you can actually ask me directly. i've destroyed more spirits than the author of this book has ever seen." Antonya said.

zhao xu put down the book in his hand and looked at antonya. " mentor, is it possible for the current me to dispel the spirit of a level 1 person? "

"I can't." Antonya said softly, "in theory, a priest can only dispel undead creatures that are four levels higher than themselves. However, the ghost itself had 4 resistance, which was equivalent to a 5HD undead. That's why you can't dispel it. "

Zhao Xu was about to ask him a question in return. Didn't they just say that he would be four levels higher?

However, he quickly realized that with his low priest level and charm, even if he was extremely lucky, he could only dispel 2HD undead at most.

zhao xu couldn't help but let out a sigh when he thought about this.

so what if it could be dispersed?

In his previous life, after they had experienced the ghost crisis, they had immediately hired a high-level priest to destroy and purify it. A few days later, the ghost had still resurrected.

in the end, they had no choice but to seal the hole and never open it again.

" teacher, isn't it impossible to understand why ghosts can resurrect? "

Zhao Xu thought about it and decided to ask the question that was on his mind. By this time, he had already flipped to the last chapter on the resurrection.

"Why is there no solution?" Antonya asked in return.

Zhao Xu immediately spread out his hands and pointed at the picture of the ghost in the book. when a ghost dies, it can undergo a 'level 1d20' check. If it's higher than 16, it can be resurrected. If it's a level 15 ghost, the check's result will definitely be higher than 16, so it will be 100% resurrected.

this was also something that he had been unable to let go of in his previous life.

"Ah, let me correct you. Actually, when the result of the check is 1, there will be a very special situation. "sometimes, even though the numbers can pass, it will still fail. it's just that when 1 can pass and when 1 can't, no one knows. we can only blame it on the world will."

Antonya's eyes lit up as she said this. and you know nothing about the power of a wizard.

" there are ways to seal, control, and even fail a test. "

After hearing this, Zhao Xu felt a lot more confident.

"mentor, why do i feel that your explanation is much more common than this book? It's just a few simple sentences, but this book on how to deal with ghosts keeps going around in circles, giving me a headache. in my opinion, this book should be removed from the category of 'raising religious knowledge'- recommended reading sequence list."

When he saw Antonya explaining things to him, Zhao Xu quickly started sucking up to her and complaining a little.

"oh, the reason why i dare to say that the author has not seen as many ghosts as i do when he writes his book is because-"

"I actually wrote this book when I was young."

——————————————————————–

zhao xu looked at the ghost in front of him with its mouth wide open and it looked like it was going to eat him alive, and he laughed softly.

at this moment, he had already gotten hold of the trump card that antonya had given him.

"you know nothing about the power of a mage."

At that moment, Zhao Xu was holding a small, narrow lantern in his hand, and the space inside was only enough to fit one candle.

however, the candle had already been enchanted. the moment it was taken out of the backpack and came into contact with the air, the ordinary-looking candle spontaneously ignited.

A mysterious aura suddenly gathered around him.

[adventurer zhongxia has lit the neutral good camp's 'prayer candle.' attack checks, immunity checks, and skill checks of the same camp within 10 meters will gain 2 morale points.]

"foreignland-" zhao xu started to mumble the name of a spell that was just as ordinary.

In the blink of an eye, the air around them froze, and even time and space were pulled in. The entire candle began to burst out with infinite holy aura.

A ring that was six to seven meters in diameter and was glowing faintly appeared in the air.

what was even more profound was that behind the ring, a holy aura like heaven began to appear faintly.

It was as if holy light was about to descend upon the earth, destroying all evil and sweeping away all filth.

seeing the scene in front of him, the terrifying experience of the past resurfaced in the specter's mind. it let out a terrified howl on the spot, as if it had fallen into deep despair.

the good thing was that it didn't get the supernatural power of the terrifying wail. it was just that hoarse voice that made zhao xu's hair stand on end.

In an instant, the ghost ran for its life. It was already dead, and it seemed to have seen something more terrifying than death.

It was as if there was a flying sword with a force field following it like a shadow.

the spirit didn't even turn its head. it didn't have any attachment and disappeared from the limited view of the torch.

zhao xu looked ahead without his night vision, but he couldn't see the darkness further into the distance.

zhao xu sighed a little, but in the end, he didn't manage to finish his sentence.

The glowing disc lost the support of its power and slowly began to shrink again.

night fell upon the earth again.

This prayer candle could burn for four hours, and Zhao Xu had just recited a few simple words and it had already lost a small chunk of its flame.

Zhao Xu couldn't care less about the pain he was feeling. He just stood there in the cold wind and looked straight ahead.

He only let his guard down after a minute or two when the protection from evil wore off.

zhao xu immediately extinguished the candle in the small lantern.

zhao xu smiled as he looked at the " god's prayer candle " in his hand that had scared away the ghost just by lighting it.

sure enough, the power of spells was just that powerful.

and that was only the aftermath.

In fact, it was not the candle that had scared the ghost away, but the level nine spell behind the candle-gate between worlds.

just now, as long as he said the name of the spell, the candle would instantly burn and turn into a gate between worlds, from which powerful creatures would be summoned.

Antonya had introduced him to a few powerful creatures at the time and asked him to familiarize himself with them so that he could remember their details.

One of them was the blazing Angel, also known as the blazing God's servant.

this kind of level 23 challenge rating creature not only had powerful combat power, but also was equivalent to a priest who could cast level 9 spells.

Basically, they were invincible existences in Arthur's non-legendary realms.

He could even fight an immemorial Dragon, let alone a mere specter.

zhao xu shook his head, but he still turned around and helped the people who had fallen to the ground up.

Report chapter Comments

80 the aftermath

Zhao Xu helped the people on the ground up one by one, but the few people who had lost consciousness still didn't wake up.

he also walked over to take a look at noah.

noah's hp was probably the highest among everyone present, but he had barely managed to withstand a single attack from the spirit and was on the verge of death.

he was waiting for someone with medical skills to give him a hand since his condition had not stabilized yet.

zhao xu had healing spells, so he couldn't be bothered to throw skill points at heal.

He just wanted to have the ability, not to make a name for himself as a healer.

but when he saw that the four of them only woke up after almost five rounds (30 seconds), zhao xu started to realize how difficult it was to cast spell immunity. the effects were different when it was cast by different people.

Zhao Xu only had 3 intelligence adjustment, so when he cast the spell, color spray, the difficulty would only be 101 (spell level) 3 (intelligence)=14, which was only DC14.

At least half of Fengye's group would be awake if they were hit by this. They wouldn't be completely annihilated.

however, it was also because fengye and the others were unconscious that he took out a divine item like the god praying candle.

the most primitive way of using the prayer candle was that a priest could light it when preparing a spell. when they obtained a divine spell, they could be regarded as a priest two levels higher.

for example, zhao xu could prepare divine spells just like a level 3 cleric.

if he cast a spell while the candle was lit, then he could cast spells like a level 3 priest.

a candle that could last for four hours was actually enough for zhao xu to act as a level 3 cleric for four days.

It was just that the God prayer candle had consumed all its ingredients in an instant to release the level nine spell, gate between worlds, which was too domineering.

If an ordinary person obtained the magic scroll for the level 9 spell gate between worlds, they would need to use the magic Device skill to use it, but the match was enough for the God praying candle.

before the catastrophe era, the god praying candles had once been in an overwhelming situation. many powerful creatures in the other world could not bear the disturbance and were busy being driven by a mysterious force to rush to the scene to save the situation.

this powerful resentment eventually affected the world's will, making the god prayer candle not only difficult to create, but also a forbidden item.

the selling price of 8400 gold pieces before the age of disaster was only because its cost was 4200 gold pieces. the selling price was set at twice the cost, and it was not something that could be bought at this price.

Zhao Xu didn't dare to take it out so easily. In fact, when he saw the Druid, he wasn't even holding a God prayer candle in his hand because this thing was a troublemaker.

if noah had not fallen to the ground unconscious and many of the caravan's followers had not fled in all directions, he would definitely have used other ways to solve the problem.

The natives of Arthur weren't kind NPCs that would give you missions, nor would they clap for you just because you were an outstanding character.

It was never news for players to show off their wealth and be robbed by native rogues.

he didn't want to be sold out when he arrived at butan city and caso city.

a single candle might not be enough to stir up great power, but the channels behind the candle represented many things.

therefore, sometimes, the players being weak was also a kind of comfort.

But Zhao Xu's heart ached a lot after he had used up so much energy just now.

naturally, he would not summon a top-notch angel like the seraphim just to fight a ghost.

zhao xu had chosen to use the god praying candle because only the god praying candle could scare away the ghost with a small price.

the only price to pay was that the god's prayer candle, which was only 80 to 90 percent of its original length, would only have an 80 to 90% success rate the next time it really wanted to cast the gate between worlds.

"sigh, another one is gone." The priestess muttered to herself after she woke up.

She was still a little dazed, thinking that the stiffness of her body just now was a new experience after her resurrection.

when she took a closer look at her surroundings, she said in a slightly shocked tone, " now the lifestone has changed its special effect. brother maple leaf, look, we're actually resurrected on the spot. "

however, when she shook the figures around her, she realized that they had not recovered from their shock.

She immediately came to her senses. ghost!

yoyo, who was filled with fear, used her short neck to look around, but there was no sign of the ghost.

"Wake up. the ghost is gone." Zhao Xu said helplessly.

Yoyo's performance was a typical example of giving an opportunity but not wasting it. She could turn the enemy's control time into two rounds.

"miss priest, do you have any healing skills? if you have it, go and treat the leader over there and see if you can stabilize his condition."

of course. Brother spellcaster, do you know that before I got divine spells, I used healing skills to restore everyone's condition? "

Zhao Xu just laughed when he heard this.

It seemed like this clumsy-looking priestess wasn't that useless after all.

with the buff of the healing skill, the player could get twice the natural recovery effect. In other words, 8 hours of medical care could recover 2HP, and 24 hours of rest could recover 4HP.

even though it was a drop in the bucket, it was better than nothing.

and since color spray was just a negative status control skill, zhao xu wasn't worried that the players would die from it.

After a while, Fengye and the other two slowly woke up. Noah's injuries were stabilized and he regained consciousness under the help of yoyo's medical skills. However, he couldn't move too much for the time being and could only rest for a while.

The next morning, Noah finally dragged his broken body and gathered the rest of the people.

Last night, many people had only seen the ghost at close range, and they could feel that the most sensitive three measurements, strength, agility, and physique, had decreased.

This was like a terrifying curse that destroyed the minds of most people. Even a few of Noah's trusted aides only dared to come back to check on the situation after an hour.

Some had their attributes reset to zero, and fell into different states of helplessness, paralysis, or even death.

at daybreak, there were already four bodies covered in white cloth on the ground.

But Zhao Xu wasn't a Saint. He only had one candle, so he couldn't always use a candle to cover his head.

Not to mention that by the time they finished dressing and went out, the battle situation was already more or less settled.

so, zhao xu could only silently pray for the warriors who had lost their lives that night and hope that they could return to the divine kingdom where they believed in the gods.

Not to mention, the situation at that time had already fulfilled the principle of emergency evacuation in the adventure Convention, so it was understandable that the players had fled directly at that time. It was reasonable to go to the Tribunal of the God of justice.

but after regrouping the team, noah didn't ask zhao xu about any details at all.

even the entire team looked at him with a faint sense of awe.

after last night's chaos, many of the damaged goods had to be disposed of on the spot, so a spare carriage was vacated.

fengye and the other three players also basked in zhao xu's glory, so they got into the same carriage as him.

but after everyone sat down and the driver started driving off, they all looked at zhao xu curiously.

Report chapter Comments

81 The mission

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu asked in return.

This carriage, which had originally been specially removed from the back cover to become a cargo container, had taken Noah's followers nearly an hour to restore it to its original state.

the only thing lacking was that the wheels would shake as they walked, and even the carriage would make a sound of friction.

the road in the entire field was still very flat, but fengye and the other three were not thinking about this rare carriage treatment.

they all looked at zhao xu with a mixture of admiration and confusion in their eyes. it was as if they were trying to see what was so different about his average-looking appearance that had 13 points of charm.

The current progress of the players was clear and obvious. The only ones who were heard to have been promoted to Level 2 were mostly Warriors and barbarians who were more inclined to the combat system.

just like spellcasters, who had just graduated and were preparing to reach the peak of their lives, they might not even be able to complete the allocation of their skill points and specialties, let alone level 2.

Arthur's character stats were too clear. Everyone's abilities were clearly defined.

so they couldn't understand how zhao xu had been able to go beyond that limit.

To outsiders, it was just a game.

But for many Arthur players, this was a kind of life.

"if i said that the spirit left on its own, would you believe me?" Zhao Xu said after thinking about it.

Fengye and the others shook their heads in unison, with Youyou shaking the most.

but everyone was looking at zhao xu with a strange expression. They didn't expect Zhao Xu to be so unwilling to take credit for saving everyone.

Powerful players would always be bathed in the gaze of others.

arthur's only chance to top up was to get an extra set of clothes for 300 yuan.

"what if i say it's 'dispel'?" Zhao Xu thought about it for a bit and then continued.

"big brother zhongxia, we can't dispel such high-level undead creatures." said youyou.

zhao xu didn't think that this unassuming little sister of his as a priest would one day be so lucky.

Ghost wasn't a high-level player. Whether he could dispel undead depended on the undead's Hit Dice, which was HD, and not on their challenge level.

however, ghosts had the ability to dispel, which was equivalent to undead creatures with 4hd.

"This is actually one of my missions." zhao xu started to look like he was in deep thought, as if there were a lot of things that were going on in his mind.

Even the most serious warrior, Maple Leaf, couldn't help but turn his body, which was originally guarded against the door, to the inside so that his ears could better hear the sound.

"Can you guys keep this a secret for me?" zhao xu suddenly raised the bar by a few decifetes.

The four members of the team nodded like chickens pecking at rice, looking at Zhao with enthusiasm and desire.

Gossip had always been a weapon to lower the defenses of humans.

this involves a period of history that exceeds a thousand years. Zhao Xu started to construct.

When she heard this, she was the first to take a deep breath. It was as if she had been transported to the great era of destiny a thousand years ago.

the train carriage that was originally made of steel plates suddenly became filled with magic, and zhao xu's voice kept echoing in their ears.

It was every player's dream. When they met an NPC, they would tell him, "I have a mission for you that will determine the fate of this world.

"a few days ago, i was still an ignorant apprentice." Zhao Xu looked up at the slightly breezy roof of the car.

The poet, the Antarctic frog, suddenly felt that the zhongxia in front of him was more like a poet.

"that day, my teacher was about to leave me. at the last moment, she had a serious expression and gave me a mission."

"for generations, my teacher has been carrying a heavy mission of sacrifice. he is both a guardian and a shackle."

"now, they finally have a chance to change, a chance to be free."

"As long as I can bring a certain ... To Mystra."

"This concerns the fate of our entire Guild. this concerns the future of the entire organization."

zhao xu deliberately used the word 'double level' in the common language of arthur to make sure that the conversation was real as he spoke words that could be misinterpreted.

in truth, the mission was to escort him back to mystra.

as for the future of the guild of fate, zhao xu would definitely have a part to play in it, but he would only take up a very small part of it.

it was only natural that he would be able to free himself. as long as zhao xu could become an advanced wizard, he would naturally be able to take over the work of other wizards. wasn't that enough to free them?

"Waa." Before the Wanderer could ask Zhao Xu what that was, the priest yoyo exclaimed first, and her eyes were shining as she looked at Zhao Xu.

The lonely male protagonist left his home, just to complete his teacher's last words. During this period, he encountered the wild Druid who summoned a storm to blow away the forest and escaped unscathed. He also encountered the mysterious spirit of the undead Lord who scorched the earth and left all his rooms empty. He was scared away by a single attack.

the male protagonist was able to survive because he had four brave adventurers supporting him from behind. they were full of courage and wisdom, and they helped the male protagonist overcome all difficulties.

the story of "this male lead clearly carries a mission but is unusually calm" had already rippled in her heart.

"So, for this escort mission, I have a few one-time use items. they are all very common daily use items, but they can have miraculous effects in certain situations. this is also where our organization's foundation lies."

so I hope you won't disclose my secret, in case I'm targeted by some existences who have connections with the organization.

"Otherwise, I could have gone there alone, and I wouldn't have to take the risk to find a smuggling team." After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he emphasized on the words 'smuggler caravan'.

the four of them immediately blushed.

it was not a glorious thing to work for a smuggling caravan.

there was a reason why most of the people in this smuggling caravan were martial artists and not formally trained soldiers.

The warrior looked down on him.

not to mention that fengye's team also had youyou, a believer of the goddess, who dared to smuggle with bodyguards.

The pastors and Paladins of good gods could pull every arrow that went astray back to the right track.

"we messed up something and owe a huge sum of money." fengye said in a low voice.

when he heard this, zhao xu thought to himself that it was no wonder they dared to take this bus. it turned out that they were in debt.

This group of players didn't even take a look at why this smuggling team didn't bring a single Hitchhiker and only brought a few players.

Wasn't it obvious that something difficult to describe might happen in the following journey?

he could not let the people in hurricane city interfere and leak the information, but he needed the players who could be resurrected to tell him what they had seen after they were resurrected.

In other words, the reward for Maple Leaf's group had already included their four Lifestones.

" hey, hey, brother zhongxia, why don't you listen to why we owe such a huge sum of money? " yoyo asked zhao xu.

"I'm not going to pay it back for you, so why should I ask?" zhao xu was a little confused.

"..."

82 The beginning of the underground city

For the next few days of their journey, Zhao Xu didn't have any monster-generated special traits on him, so the entire journey was very easy.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu had chosen this smuggler caravan. A regular caravan could still be targeted by thieves who tried to Rob them, but for an underground organization like Noah who could do smuggler-level things, if he still couldn't intimidate the arrogant people along the way, then he would really be wasting his time.

"mr. zhongxia? is that a spell scroll in your hand?" A few days later, the poet. Finally, he couldn't help but ask Zhao Xu this.

from the first day that zhao xu had taken out the scrolls, he had already started counting in his heart. by today, he had already taken out more than ten scrolls.

if a level 1 spell scroll cost 25 gold pieces, then zhao xu's net worth would be at least a few hundred gold coins. he could be considered a rich player.

However, the poet had still underestimated Zhao Xu by two zeros.

The poet, the Antarctic frog, noticed that Zhao Xu didn't take out a spellbook to copy the spells on the scroll like a normal wizard.

What was even more ridiculous was that when a wizard copied a spell, they would take a long time to read and understand it. If they were more careful, they would just copy one spell a day, and they would only get two spells a day for adventure quests. They wouldn't be able to copy four or five spells a day like Zhao Xu.

"yup," zhao xu just so happened to be able to use his enlightened spellcaster ability to record the level 1 arcane spell, hidden fog, into his mind.

before antonya parted ways with him, she finally managed to give zhao xu a level 1 arcane spell scroll while he was talking about how difficult it was for a new wizard. she told him to copy it whenever he had the time on his adventure.

Mages could copy spells from other people's spellbooks or scrolls.

copying a spellbook would affect the structure of another person's spells, and it could cause the spells in the borrowed spellbook to disappear.

this was also the reason why beginner wizard players didn't dare to borrow spellbooks and exchange them with each other.

the wizard association would not let you copy a spell for free just because the spell in your spellbook disappeared.

As long as they completed their studies and stepped out of the Association, they would have to pay the spell copying and borrowing fee.

Copying a scroll would definitely make the magic scroll blank, as if it had been used.

That was why Zhao Xu didn't dare to relax for even a moment over the past few days. He had to copy it down first before it became his.

If he didn't quickly copy it down, he would have to use the scroll to cast the spell when he really needed to.

This way, he would not be able to master the spell before he could buy another scroll or borrow a spellbook.

"Brother zhongxia, are you copying a spell? Where's your spellbook?" The priest said in surprise.

These days, Youyou had been facing her monthly exams and had been in the carriage sorting out her high school knowledge and solving the questions based on her own memory. She hadn't paid much attention to Zhao Xu's situation.

"i haven't mastered the" scribe scroll "ability, i've only memorized it in my heart. and i obtained the spell through prayer." zhao xu said ambiguously.

The people around them suddenly fell silent. After the ghost incident, everyone had specially gone on the forum to search for the mentor class.

the mentor class could study spells, but they obtained spells through prayer.

The ability to cast spells was probably the only thing that it could be praised for. As for the abilities of priests and mages, it didn't have them. It was like a blank slate.

even the few mentor players on the forum could only obtain a few spells through prayer, which was very shabby.

then, Mr. Zhongxia, you've inherited quite a bit of your mentor's 'legacy', right? " rogue rainbow licked his lips and said, his eyes shining with a golden light. "have you considered selling a few magic scrolls?"

"that's not an inheritance." zhao xu corrected her in a soft voice. he didn't dare to curse antonya.

when he had said "last ", he had only meant that antonya had said goodbye to him at the end. these players had thought that it was her last moments, so they couldn't blame him for that.

"Then, miss priest, aren't you a high school student? You don't have to go to school?" Zhao Xu didn't want to be asked about the secrets of his faction, so he started to turn the tables and asked the cleric, who had the most flaws.

"ah, me?" The priest laughed when he heard this. I'm sick, so I'm at home. I'm bored at home, so I came online to play games. while i'm at it, i'll take some time to study so that i won't fall behind. speaking of which, the religious knowledge in the game is really more of a headache than studying."

"Youyou's legs are injured. we're her friends and relatives in real life, so we decided to go on an adventure together." Maple Leaf said in a low voice.

zhao xu was stunned when he heard this. he noticed that only youyou's expression was still natural. the rogue rainbow and the poet. frog both lowered their heads.

He immediately understood that the injury was not a knock-down, but a paralysis.

zhao xu knew that he wasn't the kind of saint who would save the world with a burning passion, and he wouldn't go to the point where he wouldn't keep everything to himself if one person wasn't full.

however, when a tragedy happened in front of him, he still couldn't bear it. he would sympathize and help.

This was also his style of life. He didn't care too much about the tragedies in the world, but if it appeared in his sight, even if it was just a donation information that he had swept through the internet, he would still donate a little.

"It's fine. No one can be sure about anything in the world. maybe in less than a year, your leg will recover." Zhao Xu said to yoyo.

However, only he knew that his words were the truth and not a consolation.

A year later, when the players entered the world of Arthur, their bodies would be reconstructed according to their attributes.

this was also the reason why zhao xu didn't dare to increase his charm by 8 points. his life in real life was already hard enough, and if he went to arthur with his looks still at-2, that would be too bad.

ah, brother zhongxia, I just twisted my leg. I'll be fine after resting for a week. youyou said with a smile.

zhao xu finally came back to his senses. he looked at the serious poets and rogues and couldn't help but laugh.

she was just teasing him.

"if you guys play pranks like this again in the future, be careful that you don't slip into the chaotic faction." zhao xu was speechless as he warned her.

"We're not from the order faction to begin with," At this time, the poet and the Rogue spoke in unison.

Zhao Xu looked at Youyou and said, " what about you? the goddess is neutral and kind.

hehe, I'm definitely kind. It doesn't matter if I fall one rank. Youyou smiled slyly.

Zhao Xu finally understood what was going on. The cleric in front of him must have known that the two of them were just teasing him, so she was working together. No wonder they were able to form a team.

"I was just joking." fengye laughed carefreely.

The carriage was instantly filled with cheerful laughter.

"then what's the point of taking a week off just to review your concepts in the game? you don't need to do any questions?" zhao xu immediately went back to the question he had at the start.

Youyou, on the other hand, was generous and confident. I've already been recommended. I'm just revising for the monthly exam these few days, so that my results won't be too bad."

zhao xu could only nod silently. he didn't have to worry too much about life's winner mode.

Suddenly, the carriage slowed down.

After Zhao Xu had lectured them for the past few days, the four of them immediately held onto their weapons, including Zhao Xu, who was ready to cast a spell at any time. If anything went wrong, they would throw it out.

"brave adventurers, i have a mission to ask for your opinion. is it convenient for me to say a few words?" noah's voice came from outside the carriage.

The warrior Maple Leaf turned around and looked at Zhao Xu, wanting to ask for his opinion.

zhao xu just nodded.

This was the wilderness, and there was a request. Could there be a secret underground city nearby?

83 the mysterious treasure

after noah climbed into the carriage, his face was still pale and devoid of blood.

After he was hit by the ghost that night, not only did he lose his HP, but he also lost several attributes.

Basically, after the residents of Arthur suffered from attribute losses, they had to lie down.

The recovery speed of his stats was the same as his HP. He would recover one point of his stats after 8 hours of rest, and two points after 24 hours of rest.

For example, Fengye and the others did not manage to survive the " terrifying appearance " curse after seeing the ghost's appearance and suffered some attribute losses. After a few days of rest, they had mostly recovered.

noah was the only one who had been attacked by a spirit, which was why his vitality had not fully recovered, as if he had been seriously ill.

the space in the carriage was not small. noah found an empty seat and sat down. he coughed a few times and said, " this wasn't part of our plan, but it happened so suddenly that i received a message from the leader's messenger. "

hearing this, everyone in the carriage frowned. fengye and the others did not know the use of communication spells, but they could tell that something was wrong from noah's grim expression.

" the leader asked us to change our route and go to a secret underground city to retrieve something from it. we will send it to caso and butan city together. " noah said, " the team should have avoided this situation, but this is an urgent matter. moreover, the underground city is not far from here. we only need to take a detour for half a day. "

" that's why i'm going to complete the leader's orders. i also hope to get your help. " Noah lowered his head and said seriously.

zhao xu's group of five couldn't beat noah's dozens of people, but in terms of individual combat power, they wouldn't fall behind. it could even be said that apart from people like youyou who had lost their abilities, zhao xu's group of four could be in the top ten of this team if they were separated.

"So anxious that you can't communicate through the online and offline channels of the adventurers on earth?"

Zhao Xu didn't want to overshadow the main character in such an unusual event, so he asked directly.

Noah nodded seriously.

Zhao Xu was frowning. That leader, iz, had players with her. every day, maple leaf would go online and log off. according to noah's needs, he would report the team's information to that player, who would then go online and pass on the information to leader ise.

of course, the leader was aware of the tragic situation of their team every day.

This was also the reason Noah had to bring Fengye and the others.

it was just that this method of communication basically only happened once or twice a day, unless the big guilds arranged for their members to take turns to log in and out at a fixed time.

that means that leader ise didn't even wait for the fixed communication time tonight and directly contacted noah from thousands of miles away with a spell that could only allow one or two sentences?

communication was a level five arcane spell and a level four divine spell.

For the same spell, a wizard had to be at level 9 to cast it, but a priest could do it at Level 7.

However, even a level 7 priest would have to pay a high price to use a messaging spell, unlike the players who could be dismissed with a few silver coins.

zhao xu could vaguely sense the crux of the problem, but he was quite confident, so he continued to listen to what noah had to say.

the leader will let your people tell you the details of the underground city tonight. We will station outside and wait for Mr. Maple Leaf to receive the news before we explore the underground city.

" as for the reward, the leader can't go into details because of the communication restrictions, but i can promise you that mr. maple leaf, you'll double your previous reward. as for mr. zhongxia, i'll give you a satisfactory reward when we reach caso city. "

when zhao xu heard this, he didn't comment.

In order to make a living, one had to make a name for themselves. If Noah said that he was satisfied, then it must be to a satisfactory extent.

As for Fengye and the others, after hearing that the reward had been doubled, they were already overjoyed.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head. It was just a few gold coins.

the buried city was not like the vast plains in the wild. not to mention the traps set up inside, just the layout of the buried city would cause them to fall into a situation where they would fight to the death in secret chambers at any time.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, he had once been hit by a magic trap in an underground city. He had been lucky enough to survive, but he hadn't found a priest to heal himself completely. Every time it rained, he would feel a sharp pain in his leg.

And after that night's battle, Fengye didn't dare to make any decisions on his own. He continued to look at Zhao Xu and wait for him to say something.

let's go and take a look first. As for the specific actions, we'll see tonight's intelligence. Zhao Xu thought about it and agreed.

after lying in the carriage for a few days, he wouldn't refuse without listening to the situation.

just like that, the wheels of zhao xu's carriage started spinning, and the front of the carriage started moving at a different angle towards the buried city.

Zhao Xu was observing the landscape outside the carriage as he compared it to the map and started calculating.

when the three blood moons rose again and covered the entire night sky of the arthur main material plane, noah's fleet had also arrived near the underground city.

It was only an hour's journey from here to the lightning Canyon on the map.

leader noah sent people to search the surrounding area and finally found a mine that had been abandoned for a long time. according to the contents of the message, the entrance to the underground city was in the depths of the mine, and the location was extremely hidden.

Even if ordinary people really passed by, they generally wouldn't court death by entering such a mine pit. Who knew what undead creatures were being nurtured inside?

After Noah arranged for the team to set up camp, Fengye came online again and brought him the message from his friend-leader yise's instructions.

zhao xu and the others were sitting in a circle with noah in the tent. there were a few of noah's trusted subordinates around them, but when they heard fengye's story, they all frowned.

The information about this underground city was accidentally intercepted by yise's men. They could only make a preliminary judgment that there was some kind of treasure in it, but the specific risks were hard to determine.

More importantly, there was no guarantee that this information could be kept secret for a long time. It could be learned by other forces at any time.

It was possible that some of the forces had already left for this place, which was why yise had asked someone to inform them first.

"What do you all think?" After Fengye finished speaking, Noah looked at Zhao Xu and the others and said, " you guys don't have to worry. Even if you don't want to participate, you'll just have to wait for one day. if we don't come up after a day, my men will continue to set off with you to kasuo and butan according to the original plan."

One day was the time given to them by yise. If they couldn't reach the heirloom within a day, they would give up.

The current players didn't have much experience in exploring the buried city.

fengye had just searched on the forum, but he was also confused.

zhao xu just looked at the deep, dark pit and lowered his head without saying a word.

The underground heirloom that even ise had to stop her smuggling trade with a city like kasobutan to search for was definitely real, and the heirloom was definitely valuable.

If he had used a level 4 spell just to save time, then if the heirloom wasn't worth more than ten thousand gold pieces, Zhao Xu would have smashed his own aen stone.

The question was, should he go in as well?

Zhao Xu walked a few steps around the corner of the tent and saw that Fengye and the others were starting to get restless. He touched the mark on his back.

"I'll accept this mission,"

zhao xu remembered what antonya had told him before, so he decided to see what kind of heirloom it was.

at the same time, he secretly thought that if the return was not enough to satisfy him when he reached caso and butan city, he would use these goods to pay off the debt.

84 The underground mine

when they saw that zhao xu had agreed to participate in this mission, the four people from maple leaf, who were already eager to join, also raised their hands in agreement.

In the end, Noah took three of his trusted men-Hill the Rogue, rock the expert, and Gale the warrior.

the rest of the people, including zach, were responsible for guarding the smuggled goods at the entrance of the mine.

Zhao Xu and the frog poet had both tested their knowledge and literacy, but they didn't find any abnormal rumors in this area.

the entrance of the mine was old and worn, indicating that it had been sealed for many years.

This was also the reason why Noah did not bring too many combat personnel with him. In such an underground city, the greater danger to them was the traps set up inside.

But everyone still managed to get some new equipment and supplies from Noah, and Zhao Xu also obediently received 20 arrows that were specially made for the crossbow.

Fengye, Noah, and Gale walked in front and slowly approached the entrance of the mine. At this moment, they were all holding their weapons tightly. Fengye, on the other hand, occasionally gestured with the two-handed sword he had just received.

According to Noah, if he lent them these weapons, they would be given them for free, regardless of whether they could obtain the heirloom or not.

This made Zhao Xu slightly more concerned. Everyone had heard what Fengye told them, but only Noah knew about the " message spell " that had limited content.

Perhaps the content of the message said that they would pay any price. Otherwise, he would not think that the underground forces would be so generous to give away a 50 gold pieces two-handed sword.

"Dismantled?" fengye asked, looking ahead.

After they formed a team, Noah naturally became the leader.

The entrance to the mine was nailed by layers of wooden fences, and there was even an additional layer of canvas inside. Although it had been worn out for a long time, it was enough to prevent them from looking inside through the gaps.

"smash it. The two of you, come here and use your axes to cut this open." noah ordered.

the two followers who were originally guarding the mine entrance quickly took out their axes and began to chop at the wooden fence.

"bang, bang."

in a few moments, the wooden fences were broken open enough for one person to pass through.

however, the two of them continued to dig until the wooden fence was completely cut into pieces and mixed with canvas debris. noah and the others waited for the inside to be ventilated for more than ten minutes before they entered with torches.

The two attendants in charge of the excavation cleaned up the fallen objects and began to guard the gate. They did not pay much attention to the faintly illegible incantation on the canvas.

Noah and Fengye were in the front row of the entire team, followed by the two rogues, then Zhao Xu and the other non-close combat members, and finally the warrior cyclone station.

the entrance of the mine was very deep, and there were a lot of crushed ores on the chiseled ground, as well as a few broken hoes.

suddenly, rogue rainbow raised his voice. he pointed the torch in his hand at the natural stone wall. there was a line of blood-red words on it, which looked strange under the light of the torch.

"An expert? what's the meaning of this?" noah hurriedly shouted.

although the words were crooked, everyone knew that it was not written in the common language.

noah's subordinate, the expert in the auxiliary profession, loke, walked forward. he held his magnifying glass and observed the words on the stone wall, then said in a low voice, " this seems to be purgatory. i have to check. "

he began to rummage through his backpack.

"traveler who has entered by mistake, please leave!" Yoyo looked directly at the line of words and said, her face a little pale, " I have learned the language of the abyss. Both the language of the purgatory and the language of the abyss use this purgatory language.

Hearing these words, the people who were originally determined in their hearts couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Youyou, are you sure you didn't see wrongly? or is this a prank?" the rogue rainbow asked awkwardly.

purgatory was the language used by devils and demons. usually, other than mages and priests, no one would be so bored as to learn this language.

Even for Zhao Xu, out of the three additional languages that he could learn, he still chose to learn Draconic, heavenly language, and Elvish.

however, looking at youyou's face, everyone knew that she wouldn't lie about this kind of issue.

let's continue. It's just to scare some adventurers who have entered by mistake. noah said. his expression was not good either, but he still insisted on carrying out his mission.

the group continued to move forward in the tunnel that was large enough for four or five people to pass through.

you've chosen the abyssal language as your innate additional language? " zhao xu asked the priest yoyo next to him in a low voice.

the average priest's intelligence was not too high, so the choice of additional languages was naturally limited. most people would choose the heavenly language like him. after all, it was the common language of the divine kingdom.

yoyo shook her head. " i'm more interested in language, so i put a skill point in language. "

when he heard this, zhao xu's opinion of yoyo increased even more.

there was already language proficiency among the level 1 spells, which allowed them to recognize languages and words that they did not know. therefore, for the sake of combat power, ordinary people rarely cast language.

Only players who were born illiterate like barbarian would have no choice but to cast a point on language.

People like Wizards and priests who only had 2 skill points wouldn't take the initiative to learn the language skill. It was only because Zhao Xu was a variant of the Taoist priest that he had 6 skill points.

Only Arthur fanatics would be able to draw out a few skill points to learn a language. They wanted to understand everything.

generally speaking, it was easier for players to reach the peak when they were fully focused.

zhao xu had also come out on an adventure and had experienced the uses of spells and knowledge skills. he started to think like a wizard and realized that some things that couldn't significantly increase his combat power could still be very meaningful.

But when Zhao Xu thought about her name carefully, he realized that there wasn't any famous player with this name in his previous life.

However, the name Maple Leaf reminded him of a Druid player called red maple leaf in his previous life.

After walking for about five minutes, Zhao Xu and the others reached the end of the tunnel, and their field of vision suddenly became much wider.

in front of the tunnel was a mine vein that had been excavated into a large concave pit. this was also the main excavation site of the previous absentees.

If they continued forward, they would have to climb to the large platform four or five meters below. There were damaged mechanical cables hanging four or five meters below where they stood. The miners in the past used these cables to pull the ore from the platform to the tunnel.

No one knew how long the rope would last, so Noah used the hook to find a crack in the tunnel entrance to secure it, and then slowly hung it down.

After he confirmed his surroundings, he had Zhao Xu and the others come down one by one.

When the last fighter, Fengye, also came down, Noah did a headcount, and everyone continued to move forward according to the plan.

however, after a few steps, everyone stopped. even fengye trembled and held the giant sword in his hand.

less than five meters away from the wall where they had hung down, which was where the abandoned mechanical cable was, there were several dark brown-red handprints on the corner of the wall.

it was as if someone had once tried to climb up here with all their might.

85 The name of the abyss

Even though there was no strange sound around them at the moment, everyone could not help but look around as if something would pop out from a hidden corner at any time.

Seeing the handprints that were obviously from a struggle, everyone's expression turned ugly.

Zhao Xu, who had been full of confidence, started to worry. In this situation, his teammates were probably starting to back down.

Compared to Fengye and the other three who were after money and Noah and the others who were after power, Zhao Xu's goal in this trial was just to take risks.

antonya had given him three trump cards, but it wasn't to let him return to mystra in a state of misery. she had wanted him to train himself.

if zhao xu had returned safely and reported to antonya that he had only killed a few thieves and managed to keep three of his trump cards, then that would have been the end of his trial.

that was why zhao xu didn't reject the idea of danger when he was taking risks. if an ancient black dragon had appeared that night, zhao xu wouldn't have hesitated to summon the seraphim to fight it.

What he wanted to avoid was the act of being backstabbed.

For example, if he entered this hole and found out that it was a trap set up by someone else, he would only be laughed at by Antonya if he died and returned to Mystra.

there was a problem of choosing which to choose.

avoiding the level 10 druid that day was a small bonus, and using the candle of prayers to scare away the spirits was also a small bonus. zhao xu had originally hoped that this hole would continue to give him a bonus.

However, looking at this scene now, this hole was probably not as simple as a small bonus point.

"what are your plans?" In the end, Zhao Xu wasn't the kind of person who would just sit back and watch his friends die.

If they didn't react in time, they would be wiped out. He could only ensure his own safety.

"ah? What's your plan?" the warrior maple leaf did not react for a moment.

"are we still going forward? Now, that line of purgatory language words and these blood-red handprints had appeared. anything that is related to the abyss and hell is not simple." zhao xu said in a low voice.

in the demon-sealing war that lasted for a few years in his previous life, even the group of high-end players who entered arthur in their first year had many deaths.

"let's go, we're already here." The warrior, Maple Leaf, said. The other three nodded in agreement.

Noah heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were determined.

zhao xu didn't say anything after he finished reminding them. he didn't know how to react for a while. fengye and the others probably had a lot of lifestones, so they naturally felt that exploring was a good deal.

it was only when all the players had was a lifestone that they would realize that when they were not strong enough, hiding was the most important factor in arthur.

there were several branching paths in this mining pit, and if zhao xu and the others wanted to find the buried underground city, they had to start exploring one path at a time.

After seeing the handprint, they basically didn't dare to split up to explore.

however, after everyone stuck close to each other, formed a formation, and slowly moved forward, they gathered their courage.

noah led the team through a narrow path that was wide enough for two people and entered a wide hall. inside, other than some collapsed cabinets in the corner, there were many damaged gray-white beds piled on the ground.

this hall was probably the miners 'dormitory. the surrounding walls had been chiseled and then piled up neatly, unlike the rocky path just now.

"mr. spell casters, do you have a spell that can detect a secret door?" Noah asked as he looked at a half-closed wooden door.

"No, I didn't," The poet. Frog.

The poet was not Level 2 yet, so he could not use the level 1 arcane spell " detect secret door. even if he could, he would not choose this unpopular spell. this was because the spells that poets could obtain were as limited as that of warlocks, and they could only be carefully selected.

secret door detection " was a spell in the field of knowledge. Zhao Xu knew it, but he hadn't expected to come to the underground city this morning, so he had prepared " fate Reading ". If he really wanted to switch to the spell " secret door detection, " he would have to use the " multi-talented spellcaster " ability and use up two level 0 spells to cast it.

"let's go into this room first and see if there are any secret doors around." Zhao Xu thought about it and suggested to Noah.

Hearing this, Noah nodded.

they had not reached their destination yet. it was just the miners 'dormitory, so the probability of a secret room or trap appearing was not high.

However, even though they thought this way, they were still very cautious when they approached the half-closed door. Noah carried his heavy steel shield and gently approached the wooden door, holding it against the door, ready to defend against any attacks from the inside.

the warrior, maple leaf, was ready to open the wooden door with his giant sword.

the martial artist, gale, had his back to the team to guard against any accidents from behind.

Compared to Youyou, who had to rely on the torch to light up the room, Zhao Xu was completely focused. He raised the single-handed crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the room.

If it weren't for those handprints, they would probably still be kicking open the door.

Now, he could only treat it as if there was something inside.

"then i'll open the door?" fengye reminded everyone. seeing that there were no objections, he gently thrust the giant sword in his hand forward.

"Yiya," a sound.

as the wooden door was pushed open, everyone's hearts were beating fast.

"an altar?" noah, who was standing at the front, was the first to see the situation in the room. " i'm going in. you guys follow me closely. "

With that, he slowly walked forward step by step with his shield in hand. Maple Leaf and the two rogues followed closely behind him, especially rainbow, who acted as the Sentry. He focused all his energy on the listen skill, constantly listening for any movements around him.

"if something's wrong, i'll sing." Zhao Xu whispered to the poet.

At this time, the poet.'S level-zero spells and archery didn't make much sense, so it was better to sing to give everyone an " morale boost " buff.

When everyone entered the room, except for Gale who was still blocking the door to observe the outside, the others could not help but be stunned when they saw the details of the room under the light of the torches.

The room next to the miner's dormitory was not big, and there was a collapsed bed in the corner. From the discarded items on the table, it could be seen that this might be the foreman's room.

however, the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room were all painted with blood-red words, and all of them pointed to the altar that was empty.

I think we should inform the nearest church and send a priest here. Youyou's body was already trembling. If she hadn't been surrounded by everyone, she would have run away with her hair standing on end.

"Don't be nervous," zhao xu crouched down and picked up the oil lamp to examine the inferno script on the ground. " these things are probably just paint. "

In his previous life, he had cooperated with a good God's priest to encircle and annihilate some evil God's priest's priests. He was quite familiar with this kind of situation and did not panic at all.

Anyway, they were all flesh and blood, one knife in and they would die, and there would be trouble for the ghosts.

"these purgatory characters are all variations of the same name." Youyou said after taking a deep breath.

"What's your name?" zhao xu continued to ask.

"Demogorgon."

86 chapter 86-curse

'demogorgon?

the entire team was confused when they heard this name, although they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they first heard it.

However, no one had any impression of this name.

Which mysterious figure or evil god did this new cult believe in?

"Search failed. Perhaps there's no such person? It's just some meaningless words." the poet. frog said in a low voice. he had just used his 'yi wen knowledge' and other knowledge skills in turn.

Zhao Xu was frowning. The results of his check were the same.

He had never heard of this name even in the demon-sealing war in his previous life.

however, when he was reading about magic in the floating city, he had paid special attention to demons and abominations.

He had seen the name 'Demogorgon' before-Lord of the Abyss, Demon King.

at that time, he had asked antonya about it, and she had laughed at him and said that he was just a two-headed baboon with a split personality.

but even though she was sneering at him, antonya still gave him a few tips on the abilities and characteristics of the demogorgon.

Zhao Xu could only take a deep breath at that thought.

demogorgon had believers in the arthur main material plane. his believers even had divine spells, but their power came from the abyss.

the abyss was the home of some evil gods. according to antonya, the demon lord, " demogorgon, " was also considered a low-level divine power in the abyss. however, even a greater divine power might not be able to defeat a demogorgon in the abyss's home ground.

but antonya had been very confident at the time. if a demogorgon dared to set foot on the prime material plane, she would kill it no matter how many times it came.

as for why he could come back again after he died, zhao xu didn't ask any further.

If that was the case, then their team might have been noticed when he had just said the name of 'Demogorgon'.

it was similar to a certain children's fantasy book that would make the mysterious person known.

Zhao Xu wasn't worried that Demogorgon would be so bored that he would get the secret sect hidden in Arthur to come and attack them. He was just worried that this mine and the underground city would have some sort of backup plan.

If he received attention, perhaps these backup plans would take effect.

seeing that there was nothing strange about their surroundings, the team also went forward to observe the altar.

"it's xie hui." she said as she looked at the altar's surface and the pattern of a forked tail.

upon hearing this, everyone's heart, which had just been put at ease, tensed up again.

It was fine if it involved evil gods. After all, it was a mutually-willing trade. It was probably impossible to get rid of those in the abyss and hell.

"destroy it?" noah asked. this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

usually, when they encountered such a situation in a town, they would usually go to the priests of the gods and ask them to come forward. this was also a matter that could increase favorability.

however, they were too far away to do anything now, so they could only report after the event.

"alright," he said. the whole room was filled with blood-red names, which had long made fengye feel uneasy. he was holding in a fire that he had not vented out.

He raised the giant sword in his hand and was about to slash at the altar.

"Wait a moment." zhao xu quickly said, "let's search for any traps first."

when fengye heard this, he also hurriedly retreated a few words.

Although he had never seen the traps in the buried city, they had already made a name for themselves on the forum. They had killed countless players.

"that's right. hill, come and search." when noah heard this, he knew that he had been affected by the oppressive environment of the room, so he did not react first.

Hill and rainbow went up to check if there were any traps around the altar.

search was not a skill that required training. as long as one had normal intelligence, they could search.

However, only the Rogue's class ability could allow them to find those difficult traps.

After a round of inspection, both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing.

"Then let's spread out." zhao xu didn't say much when he saw that he didn't get anything out of it. he just added a few extra words out of caution.

"We'll listen to zhongxia." noah ordered.

Yoyo and the others had also retreated a few meters away, leaving Fengye and Noah in front of the altar.

noah, on the other hand, held his shield and stood guard in front of the altar. if a few arrows were to shoot out from inside, he would be able to block them.

fengye took a deep breath and raised his giant sword with both hands to slash at the altar.

"bang!" With a sound.

The altar, which had been abandoned for decades or even centuries, was broken by the Maple Leaf with one strike.

"Ah!"

immediately after the altar cracked, a yellow light flashed and fengye suddenly let out a scream.

"fengye, what's wrong?" rogue rainbow quickly rushed forward and pulled fengye, who had already knelt on the ground, back.

Maple Leaf, who was originally a very strong warrior, was now sweating on his forehead. He panted and said, " "my constitution attribute has been deducted by six points."

"cursed?" zhao xu immediately understood.

hearing this, everyone looked at each other. noah, who was still holding his shield, also took a few steps back.

it was as if the altar that had been split open was smiling hideously.

"Brother Fengye?" Youyou hurriedly came over and observed Fengye's condition. She was the only one with medical skills.

when zhao xu heard the words " 6 attribute points, " he finally understood what was going on.

the only good thing was that fengye's attributes were only damaged.

"how many points of constitution do you have left?" Zhao Xu asked as he knelt down.

" i only have 8 points left. i originally had 14 points of constitution, but now it has been adjusted to -1. " fengye said, panting.

After lowering his Constitution, the most direct impact was on Fengye's health.

"Brother Fengye, don't worry. Just like the ghost from before, these attributes will recover." yoyo consoled him.

Zhao Xu shook his head. this should be a curse.

at this moment, everyone turned to look at him. noah, who was the highest-ranking player in the team, suddenly had a bad feeling.

"curse descent is a level three divine spell for priests, and also a level four arcane spell for mages. It has three effects, one of which is to reduce a certain attribute by six points." Zhao Xu explained, " the altar we took just now probably had a magic trap that would cause a curse to fall on it. It was triggered when the Maple leaves were cut down.

No one had expected this altar to have a backup plan.

this was also the tricky part about magic traps. as long as there were no accidents, it could last for hundreds of years without a problem, unlike ordinary traps that would decay with time.

zhao xu looked at the place where the altar had been broken open, but the wall behind it didn't seem to have any obvious marks.

However, he was certain that there was something strange about it. Most people wouldn't set up a trap in the altar for no reason.

"if it's a curse, the duration is permanent." yoyo said, her face pale.

as soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

If he lost 6 Constitution points forever, he could really delete his account and start all over again.

Only the Maple Leaf warrior class could get 10 points from the full D10 at Level 1.

if a mage with 10 constitution and a D4 health die was hit, their health would immediately become 1 hp, the kind that would fall to the ground if they were accidentally touched.

zhao xu looked at the magic trap under the altar. it looked like his most ordinary trump card was finally going to come in handy.

the thing that he had taken out when he was facing the druid, and then put back.

87 Magical trap

But Zhao Xu knew that he had to give the team some psychological counseling before he took action. Otherwise, the team wouldn't be able to continue on.

Losing something that could be recovered wasn't scary.

For example, as long as there was a priest to recover their health points, they would not be afraid of death even if they took a few hits.

Zhao Xu looked at Fengye, whose face had also turned a little pale, and comforted him, " don't worry. Permanent means that it'll be permanent if it's not removed. the level three divine spell 'remove curse' or the level four divine spell 'break enchantment' can stop this effect."

"Report this to the nearby temple. They will cast a spell to remove it for you based on this achievement." Zhao Xu said.

but zhao xu didn't say the rest of what he wanted to say. the leader of the underground organization, iess, wanted to cover up this place, so she had to pay him enough money to keep it a secret, including removing the curse from fengye.

It was just that the priest Youyou in the team was hard to cover up.

After hearing Zhao Xu's words and knowing that there was still hope, Fengye finally let out a sigh of relief. The expressions of his friends around him weren't as heavy as they were now.

This was also the fate of a warrior. He had to be at the forefront of everything.

there's another effect that's even scarier. There's a 50% chance that you'll be slowed down and unable to move after every round. zhao xu added.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't imagine how disgusting it would be if they could only walk for a while and be paralyzed for a while.

Not to mention anything else, at least for now, he had to return home.

"why don't we go back and switch people first?" the poet frog suggested.

They had only been here for less than half an hour. They could have gone back and replaced someone else.

"We're already at the top of the team." Fengye also stood up at this time. it's fine. It's just 3 health points less. It's not a big problem.

After saying that, he even patted his chest to show that even if he only had 8 points of physique left, he was still a tenacious warrior.

zhao xu thought to himself. actually, he had also lost 3 endurance points, which meant that he was at a 15% disadvantage against the toughness check.

however, fengye was right. as a level 1 warrior, even without these, he was still much stronger than the level 1 martial artists outside.

This was the confidence of the 11 basic classes.

"Then, shall we remove this magic trap now?" rogue rainbow looked at the brick behind the altar. it was the yellow light that had just hit fengye.

if his search skill check was a little stronger, the system might even be able to warn him of the traps.

This way, Fengye would not be cursed.

"Let's wait for a moment." zhao xu realized that everyone seemed to have fallen into a dead end, and it was as if they couldn't get past this trap.

"I'll use the 'detect the secret door' spell first. If there's nothing special, I'll just give up on this place." Zhao Xu said.

Just now, the two rogues were just checking the altar, so they didn't trigger it. Now that the trap was activated, it was much more risky to check the secret door.

Zhao Xu didn't have the habit of removing all the traps he saw.

at this moment, everyone also spread out to the back so that they wouldn't interfere with zhao xu's casting.

Zhao Xu immediately activated his multi-talented spellcaster ability and used the two level 0 divine spell slots that he had in his mind as fuel. He started chanting an incantation and moving his body around to cast the spell.

after the " detect secret door " spell was cast, zhao xu's eyes could sense that there was something strange happening within a cone-like radius of twenty meters in front of him.

in an instant, he could see the outline of the secret door in front of him.

but zhao xu continued to maintain his full concentration. the focus skill that he cast started to give him energy, helping him maintain this state.

the longer the spell was used, the more information it would provide.

time passed by slowly, and everyone was quietly looking at zhao xu and waiting for the results of his spell.

After spending so much time together, Zhao Xu had become a true expert in their team.

after a while, zhao xu finally stopped casting the spell. he let out a soft sigh, turned his head around, and said, " there is indeed a secret door here. we need to press down on that brick to open this door. "

everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"The entrance to the underground city is behind this secret door." Noah lowered his head and pondered. Slowly, his eyes showed a different kind of expression. Hill, are you confident in dismantling this trap? "

Hill, the Rogue on Noah's side, had a lock-picking steel stick in his mouth. He looked ahead and frowned. I'll try.

"alright, be careful." Noah instructed.

Rogue Hill touched the tool bag in his pocket and walked forward, keeping a certain distance to observe the magic trap.

rainbow, who had not discovered the trap earlier, followed suit and observed from the side.

"rainbow learned the 'disarm device' skill?" Zhao Xu asked Youyou in a whisper.

" there is. rainbow is graduating soon. he is one of the top 20 graduates among the wanderers in hurricane city. "

zhao xu laughed when he heard this.

If it could really be removed, it would save him a lot of energy.

Suddenly, Hill pressed down on rainbow and pulled him back. At the same time, he said, " "don't try anymore."

rainbow, who didn't know what was going on, quickly followed. after seeing fengye's miserable state, everyone didn't dare to act rashly against this trap.

the entire team couldn't help but take a few steps back. yoyo almost bumped into zhao xu, and she quickly apologized in a low voice.

when they were almost three meters away, hill said, " i was lucky just now. i found the trick and got a very high result. "

"It's lifted?" noah asked loudly. he could not help but feel happy.

on the contrary, hill shook his head. " that's why i knew i had failed. this kind of magic trap is too difficult. i might not even know if i had failed to remove it. that's why i don't dare to try anymore, including you." he looked at the rainbow.

rainbow nodded dejectedly. this was a magic trap that was more difficult than level-25. even if he was lucky, he might not be able to remove it.

zhao xu wasn't surprised to hear this.

if a random magic trap could be triggered by level-1 rogues like them, there would be no need to set it up.

Zhao Xu took two steps forward and looked at the brick while keeping his distance.

"leader noah, are you sure you want to go in?" Zhao Xu turned around and asked.

Noah had originally planned to ask Maple Leaf to go offline before asking the leader, but he was a little stunned when he heard what Zhao Xu said.

Although Hill was only a level 1 rogue, his ability to touch the device was the highest in the team, which was why he had brought Hill down.

"Mr. Zhongxia, you have a way?" he asked in disbelief.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I have a way, but you'll have to pay more. This is a consumable magic item.

This was also the principle of adventuring. It was his duty to use spell slots, but it was a different story if he used a consumable item once. It would be counted as part of the team.

"no problem. even if you can't get in, shattered star will compensate you equally. if we can enter, we'll see." noah promised.

it was also because he had received this mission at the last minute. otherwise, with how important she was to him, she would have brought him all the magic items, not to mention the spellcasters.

broken star? zhao xu thought about it for a moment. he still hadn't heard of this organization's name after ten years, but it didn't matter anymore. he had already gotten the extra reward.

Zhao Xu looked at the magic trap in front of him and immediately took out the trump card that Antonya had given him from his backpack.

the original price of the staff was 65000 gold pieces, but no one knew how much energy it had left.

Report chapter Comments

88 dispel magic

the magic staff in zhao xu's hand was about a meter long and was made from the core of an ancient oak tree. there was a yellow crystal embedded in the top of the staff.

at this moment, zhao xu's appearance wasn't too far off from the mages that everyone had imagined in fantasy novels.

A magic staff was a type of magic item that stored several spells. Every time a spell was cast, it would consume one to a few shots of energy from the magic staff. Generally speaking, a new magic staff would have 50 shots of energy.

As for the other magic item, the wand, it was usually 30 centimeters long, about the size of the wands of the Wizards in Harry Potter.

a wand also only had 50 shots of energy, but each spell only consumed one shot of energy.

the difference between a magic staff and a magic staff was that each magic staff could only store one type of spell, and it could only store spells that were level-4 and below.

and magic staffs wouldn't be restricted by level 4 spells. for example, the protective magic staff in zhao xu's hands could cast a few different spells such as shield (level 1 spell/1 energy attack), energy damage resistance (level 2 spell/1 energy attack), dispel spell (level 3 spell/1 energy attack), secondary nullifying barrier spell (level 4/2 energy attack), expel spell (level 4/2 energy attack), and shield against living things (level 6/3 energy attack).

if it was priced at 65000 gold pieces, then one shot would basically cost 1300 gold pieces. even if zhao xu were to use it, his heart would still be bleeding.

today, he was going to use the " dispel magic " spell in the staff, which could be used to suppress magic traps.

if he were to use a magic wand, a magic dispelling wand would cost him 11250 gold pieces for 50 shots, which would only cost him 225 gold pieces per shot. it was a much better deal.

speaking of which, he really wanted to go in and explore the place. he had already used his trump card, so destroying a demon's lair would give antonya more bonus points than chasing away a ghost.

when he faced the druid earlier, zhao xu had taken out his magic staff to cast energy damage resistance on himself so that he could absorb the damage.

If he reached Level 3 and could cast level 2 spells, he could also cast the energy damage resistance spell.

It was just that his spellcaster level was too low, so he could only absorb 10 points of damage. In addition, his HP was not enough to withstand a single lightning strike.

However, if he used a defensive magic staff to cast a spell, the caster level would be at least level 13, which meant that it could absorb 30 points of damage. That would be more than enough for him to take one or two lightning strikes without being injured.

This was the huge advantage that a magic staff had over low-level spellcasters like Zhao Xu.

But when Antonya gave him this staff, she didn't tell him how much energy it had left.

It was also a test for him to risk his life with the staff while not being able to estimate how much energy he had left.

"What's this?" Noah had seen the world, but most of the things he had seen were small wands. He had never seen a wand that was almost a meter long.

"A magic item." Zhao Xu explained briefly, "it can be used to Remove Magic traps.

Then, Zhao Xu told the two rogues how to open the secret door again. Once he suppressed the power of the magic trap, they would have to hurry up and open the secret door.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Xu raised the magic staff in his hand and started casting a spell in the direction of the magic trap in front of him.

Immediately, three effects of dispel magic appeared in his mind: target-type, area-type, and counter-type.

zhao xu, who more or less knew how magic traps worked, chose to target the magic to dispel it.

after he finished casting the spell, a white light shot out from the defensive magic staff in zhao xu's hand and hit the brick that had the trap set up on it.

[adventurer zhongxia cast 'dispel magic' to resist the 'curse-dropping trap' with a caster's check. Adventurer zhongxia's caster's check 20 d20 = 20 15 = 35. Curse-dropping trap caster's check 5 d20 = 5 10 = 15. [check passed. Trap suppression 1d4 = 4 rounds of time.]

zhao xu looked at the message and realized that removing magic to deal with magic traps was actually a spellcaster level check, not a difficulty level check.

That was the level of the staff's spellcaster. Compared to the level of the priest who made the trap, the higher the level, the higher the chance of winning.

antonya didn't make the staff according to the level 13 requirement. instead, she gave the level 20 spellcaster a level, which naturally allowed him to defeat the level 5 priest who had made the trap.

but zhao xu didn't have the time to be emotional. he quickly shouted, " "'dispel magic' can only stop four rounds of traps. hurry up and open the secret door."

Hearing this, the two rogues didn't doubt it and walked forward. Rainbow was the first to rush and press on the extremely dangerous brick.

Immediately, the mechanism at the door was activated, and a stone door that was one meter wide and two meters tall slowly descended from the originally seamless wall, revealing a passage.

the brick with the trap also fell.

"We've finally gone down." Youyou heaved a sigh of relief when the brick disappeared.

she also knew that her level was too low. if she was higher, at least she would have a way to dispel the damage from these spells.

The threat of a curse was extremely troublesome for everyone.

"i can pass?" noah asked.

Although he was facing the expert, everyone knew he was asking zhongxia.

zhao xu nodded. " that stone door has been lowered quite deeply. we won't trigger any more traps. the rogues should take the lead and keep searching for traps inside."

after hearing zhao xu's instructions, hill looked over at noah, while rainbow walked over to the front.

Putting one's life on the line for a trap was also one of the destinies of rogues.

The entire team also adjusted their formation.

everyone was armed and on high alert as they slowly passed through the stone door.

As the torch shone, the team slowly saw the situation inside the stone door. It was a long corridor.

"be careful," Noah warned, " if there's a trap, we'll be very passive.

hearing this, everyone couldn't help but lean closer, as if it was easier to gather courage this way.

"it feels like i'm going to explore a haunted house in the middle of the night." After leaving the room filled with red letters, yoyo's depressed mood had recovered a lot.

"Don't raise flags. don't forget our encounter in the forest." the rogue rainbow, who was walking in front, stopped him.

he had had enough of youyou's jinx.

" hmph, didn't i just say that i hoped to see a cute bear? who knew that it would be a violent bear? " yoyo ridiculed.

Zhao Xu suddenly realized that the entrance ticket to the zoo was a little expensive, so he didn't know how many revival stones they had charged.

but when he thought about what had happened to youyou, zhao xu gripped the magic staff in his hand tightly. the rest of his journey would depend on this magic staff.

89 Chapter 89-rune cannon tower

" zhongxia, have you heard of any traps that are stronger? " The poet. Frog asked Zhao Xu as if it was trying to calm the tension in its heart.

"a trap? A half-trap, half-construct, does that count?" Zhao Xu, who had been using his half-baked detection skill to scan his surroundings, said this when he heard this.

"tell me?" The South Pole frog finally realized that Zhao Xu's knowledge and experience were not on the same level as theirs.

the people in the team who were originally on guard perked up their ears to listen.

most of the gossip in arthur was heard during these adventures, intentionally or unintentionally, and then spread through their own mouths.

"a runic cannon tower, right?" zhao xu said.

"incantation? A cannon?" youyou didn't expect that these two things that she didn't want to close could be connected.

" the runic cannon is usually used in places where no one wants to enter. it can identify a specific target. if the target is not on the target list, it will activate the spell. " Zhao Xu said as he recalled.

"Isn't it the same as the curse trap just now?" At this time, the warrior Maple Leaf cautiously raised his sword and hid beside Noah. After a while, he began to speak with some strength.

zhao xu laughed. when he first saw the rune cannon towers of the floating city, he had the same thought.

there are four spells of the same level stored in the incantation. Release one in each round, store and repair it again in the fifth round, and then release the spell repeatedly in the fourth round, and so on. Zhao Xu said.

hearing this, everyone almost stopped in their tracks.

just now, a spell descent had almost killed fengye. if the four spells were cast mercilessly, they could have already collected fengye's body.

"how's the distance?" Noah, who had been trained for a long time, quickly grasped the core of the problem.

if it had been like the curse-subduing trap he had just taken, with only a one or two-meter trigger range, it would have been fine. if he couldn't afford to provoke it, he could still avoid it.

"That's the scary thing about the runic cannon tower. It has a 40-meter range of detection. moreover, it's usually hidden and will only appear when it recognizes an unknown target." Zhao Xu explained.

"don't spell casters have invisibility spells?" the expert locke said after a long silence.

It was only then that Zhao Xu noticed Loke. It was probably because of Noah's academic role, but because the team had both a wizard and a priest, which was a luxury, that he didn't have a chance to say anything.

the turret has the effect of truth knowledge. Zhao Xu said calmly.

everyone immediately fell silent.

"What's true knowledge?" after a while, rogue rainbow asked.

Zhao Xu finally realized that he was going in a roundabout way.

the art of truth is a level-six art. It can see through all illusions, including invisibility. Zhao Xu immediately explained.

Only God knew how a broken cannon could obtain truth-level effects at a low price.

after hearing zhao xu's explanation, everyone came to a realization.

everyone might be unfamiliar with illusions, but the most typical illusion,"invisibility," was still very famous.

even in a town where magic was not widespread, there would still be people who had heard of the level 2 spell 'invisibility'.

It was only after mastering this spell that mages had more capital to save their lives.

as such, it was common knowledge for all battle-type classes to deal with wizards who had invisibility spells.

sigh, such a good trap, but when it's used with magic, it becomes extremely difficult to deal with. hill, the rogue in front, also complained.

although the tunnel was narrow, they didn't find anything strange along the way, so they immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

zhao xu also agreed with what the rogues said.

when he had first arrived at the floating city, the black-robed mage had warned him not to run around for no reason, afraid that he would trigger the floating city's countless spell cannons.

at that time, he had just handed in the letter of recommendation, and the floating city had not had the time to enter his name.

the floating city's defense turrets were all connected to a lock-and-loop, making them even more complicated. sometimes, even the people on the list would be attacked mercilessly if they barged in at a different time.

after the bombardment of spells, the magic guards would be detained.

he did not know about other things, but there were at least a hundred level nine spell forts around the obelisk, the base camp of the final scroll.

as long as someone dared to barge in, energy absorption spells, confinement spells, dimensional vortexes, and level nine monster summoning spells would be thrown at them without any cost.

"wait a moment." suddenly, rogue rainbow raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.

"i was scared to death. thank god i didn't step on it." Rainbow's face was slightly red as she nervously said.

"there's something wrong." Rogue Hill also squatted down to confirm rainbow's judgment.

everyone's footsteps also stopped completely. the martial artist, gale, who had been silent all this while, even turned his back to them.

the two rogues squatted down and checked the ground in front of the tunnel, while the others guarded them.

"There's nothing strange." Youyou stood on her tiptoes and said while looking ahead.

the entire tunnel's surface was extremely flat, as if there was nothing unusual.

"it might be a trapdoor." zhao xu, who had explored the buried city in his previous life, said.

the traps in the wild would usually have some backstabs at the bottom. if an ordinary person fell in, they would definitely die with that little hp. the situation of the adventurers would not be any better.

however, they were not blind. they would not step forward even though they knew there was a pit. therefore, in the wild, they would usually cover it with branches and weeds to make a one-time pit.

However, if he were to plant some weeds in the underground city, it would be a complete lie. He was just short of putting a sign saying that there was a trap.

Even if it was covered with a carpet, it would still be very strange, so the traps in the underground city were often made into self-restoring trapboards.

As long as there was enough force, stepping on it would trigger the switch, and the valve on the ground would open directly. If one did not Dodge in time, they would fall down.

"mr noah, come and press it together." at this time, rainbow had already determined that the trap was not the kind that would trigger arrows. it was more likely to be a trap.

Noah, who understood what was going on, followed the Rogue and pressed the button that was suspected to be a trap door.

Suddenly, the whole ground, which was originally intact, seemed to have stepped on an empty box. Two three-meter-long valves fell down, making everyone's heart tighten.

However, after losing the support of the power, the two valves immediately returned to their original state under the effect of the device, only making a burst of Yiya sound.

zhao xu found it a little strange. this trap door was too long, and it seemed like it was deliberately made so that they wouldn't be able to jump over.

however, there was no point in doing so. after being seen through, they would naturally have a way to get there.

"This device is quite sturdy after such a long time." rainbow ridiculed.

"it's difficult. let's just climb over the wall." seeing this trap, noah already understood that it was the same as the curse trap. it wasn't something that two level-1 rogues could dismantle.

after everyone made a plan, hill, who had better climbing skills, began to insert metal rods for climbing on the wall. everyone stepped on the metal rods and climbed over.

at the same time, those who climbed over were tied with ropes. if they accidentally slipped, everyone would try their best to pull them back.

in the end, after more than ten minutes, he finally passed through them one by one, but the metal drills remained on the wall.

"let's continue." Noah said after everyone had finished resting.

the rogues in front of them had not been checked yet, and no one dared to take a few more steps just now. they had been staying more than a meter in front of the trapdoor.

everyone nodded. if the buried city was full of traps of this difficulty, then victory was in sight.

Rogue rainbow continued to stand in front, searching and scouting as he moved forward. After discovering the trap, his confidence increased greatly.

He was only a few dozen meters away from the corner.

however, after the team had only walked a few meters, he suddenly found that at the end of the wall, the smooth wall suddenly turned into the head of a demon with two horns, and its mouth began to emit light.

"don't tell me it's a runic cannon tower?"

Everyone noticed this as well, and they all looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.

at first, everyone only asked because they were impressed by zhongxia's knowledge, but they got to the bottom of it out of curiosity.

Who would have thought that the goddess of misfortune, Nora, would care so much for them that she would teach them live in just a few minutes?

Everyone still remembered what Zhao Xu had said. The range of the rune cannon towers was 40 meters, and they were less than 40 meters away from the demon head.

As long as they retreated a little faster, they might only suffer a round of attacks.

however, no one retreated, because behind them was the trap of the trapdoor.

even if he had to bet on his jumping ability, he had to walk to the rune turret first to get enough distance for the run-up. otherwise, it would be no different from walking into a pit.

"you can either go into the pit. To be reborn after death." At this time, the poet. Frog said decisively, " either we charge forward.

the demon-shaped runic cannon tower had already finished gathering energy and was ready to launch a destructive attack at any moment.

As the leader of the team, Noah knew that he had to make a decision. If he stayed here and suffered endless spells, he would definitely die.

However, at the end of the road was a corner, and no one knew what was on the other side of the corner.

even if they turned the corner, they would be attacked at least two times.

As for jumping into the pit behind them, people would definitely die, but at least a few would be left.

Noah, who had once decided which of his brothers would survive with limited emergency resources, was once again at the trial point of his life.

" jump into the pit-" before he could finish his sentence, a roaring ball of fire was shot at them.

noah, who recognized this thing, already knew that his team was finished. his only instinct was to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of fire landed directly on the spot where he had initially landed. It smashed into the ground, and the surroundings exploded like a sealed room filled with gas leaks.

countless heat waves burst out from the falling fireball, covering the field with a radius of six to seven meters.

Even the old scholar who believed that " mages should not be cannon towers that only knew how to cast damage spells " would not deny the power of the level three arcane spell, fireball.

Unless it was a specialized skill, most mages would start from Level 5 and possess a truly destructive spell like fireball. Only then would they be qualified to act as damage dealers.

but when the flames dissipated, the team that was stunned by the spell didn't even have time to jump into the pit, only to find that they weren't injured at all.

A shimmering magic sphere enveloped them.

The air seemed to be filled with a mysterious energy. No matter how the fireball exploded, the endless waves of fire could not penetrate this mysterious sphere.

"what is this?" Noah exclaimed.

The power of the fireball just now had already put him on the verge of the pressure of a powerful magic.

no one would have thought that there would always be a higher mountain.

Everyone's eyes were on the magic staff in Zhao Xu's hand.

Originally, it was just an oak staff inlaid with crystals. Now, it seemed like it had a mysterious power like those legends.

"this is a barrier of nullification for secondary spells." zhao xu said calmly, "this shield can block all spells below level 3."

zhao xu then looked at noah and smiled. " "you'll have to pay more for this."

he had just used his magic staff to cast a level four arcane spell, " nullifying lesser spells, " which had directly consumed two shots of energy from his magic staff.

however, he had to do so. the damage of the fireball 5d6 was not something he could avoid no matter what.

even if he used the " energy damage resistance " that only required one shot of energy, it could only withstand one wave.

the runic cannon towers would launch an endless stream of attacks.

so this time, zhao xu was both saving people and saving himself.

"Ah, here it comes again." yoyo noticed that the devil's head glowed and then went out.

immediately after, a shockwave rippled from the magic ball.

[ prompt: the " suggestion " spell of the incantation cannon tower can not pass through the " secondary spell nullifying barrier ". this spell is invalid. ]

zhao xu saw that his information panel had refreshed, so he explained, " " it's fine. this is the second spell,'suggestion'. it still has two more spells to release, and it will only stop to recharge in the fifth round. "

" but this cannon can only cast level 3 spells, so within 20 rounds of the spell, the inside of the sphere is safe. "

The nullifying barrier of secondary spells would only last for one round for every level of the caster.

The caster of Zhao Xu's magic staff was level 20, so he could use it for 20 rounds.

if antonya were to cast it herself, based on the fact that the other party's spellcasting level would exceed level 72 after stacking them together, that would mean that she would be able to cast it for more than 72 rounds.

"mr. zhongxia, you must be the successor of some hidden school of thought. could it be that this is your selection trial?"

noah now understood that the wooden staff in zhao xu's hands was definitely not as simple as he had thought it to be.

he had followed his leader, yise, and seen the world before, so he had a rough idea of the value of this staff.

if this thing appeared on a native of arthur, it could be a member of a royal family or even a direct descendant of a wizard family who came out to train.

And for it to appear in the hands of Earth's adventurers, and it had only been a month since the beginning, then there was only one possibility left-zhongxia was a candidate for those secret guilds.

noah had heard from the leader that when the secret school was selecting the next generation of successors, they would let the candidates challenge each other and kill each other. the one who finally made it through would naturally be the successor of the school.

Thinking of this, Noah did not care about the third spell that was about to hit him.

He lowered his head. Mr. Zhongxia, I've offended you before.

the four members of team maple leaf were all dumbfounded. they didn't think that zhao xu, who had come from a broken school and was just a spell caster who had come to fulfill his teacher's last wish, would be mistaken by noah as the direct descendant of a mysterious organization.

the four of them still couldn't estimate the true value of the staff in zhao xu's hand.

in their eyes, a level 4 spell scroll was about 700 gold coins, which was not an astronomical figure.

however, in this situation, even if yoyo was slightly biased, she knew that she should keep her mouth shut and not ruin zhongxia's reputation.

Deception might cause her faction to become neutral or chaotic, but The Price of Silence would be much lower.

Zhao Xu just nodded indifferently, even though Noah didn't guess that he was only here to complete the training mission that Antonya had given him.

At the same time, he had the means to reverse everything behind him, that was why he dared to swagger in, and not for some Gu refinement-like screening test.

however, noah had underestimated him by an entire level, and he had stepped on the edge of the truth.

"mr. zhongxia, you can choose what you want from this adventure." Noah continued to bow.

only the dumbfounded fengye and the other three were left. there was still such treatment?

91 locking onto the target

At this time, Fengye's mind was thinking that the level 1 arcane spell charm human could only increase the favorability. He had never heard of an NPC giving up his wealth.

There were usually several types of adventure squads. One was a long-term squad with equipment distributed according to needs. the first was a temporary g-team, where the equipment would be auctioned off one by one. the highest bidder would get it, and the others would split the gold coins equally.

The other type was their type of employment. Noah would pay for the reward, weapons, and various consumables. Naturally, all the gains would belong to Noah, unless there was an agreement.

Even if Zhao Xu did a lot of work, they could compensate him after the event, and they could even split the loot with Zhao Xu later.

He wouldn't have let him choose in advance.

the fact that shattered stars, an underground organization, was able to thrive in hurricane city under the leadership of the merchant union and even become a partner of the merchant union was not just because of its strength.

yise never mistreated anyone who had helped her. fengye had heard this saying when he completed his warrior training in hurricane city. rainbow had also experienced it when he completed the rogue graduation trial.

Fengye and the other three were well aware of yise's power in the entire Hurricane city.

therefore, they were willing to participate in the mission after hearing that it was yise's order.

But Zhao Xu had actually caused Noah to misunderstand and think that he had a powerful force behind him?

even fengye felt a little nervous. he could only hope that after zhao xu got what he wanted, he would be able to run far away before noah realized that he didn't have much power.

noah, on the other hand, broke out in a cold sweat, rejoicing that he had not done anything to offend the spell caster in front of him.

those in the underground forces knew that mages could not be touched, unless you had another mage to help you hide or resist.

no matter how secretive an assassination was, it could not be hidden from the mages 'divination spells. this was a lesson learned by the underground forces through blood and tears.

in one of the gang wars, noah's side had clearly gained the upper hand. at that time, a nephew of a high-ranked wizard had appeared and demanded the share of power noah had seized back.

After that, their leader, yise, would even have to offer the other portion with a smile.

this was the intimidating power that arthur's wizards had given them.

"Don't be in a daze," zhao xu said after he noticed that the fourth spell, vampiric touch, had landed on the barrier and was nullified.

at this time, the four rounds of spells had finally been completed. the next round was the time for the turret to charge up, which was also their opportunity.

"the rest of you, stand at the back. as for mr noah, you should stand at the left end of the corridor and stick close to the magic barrier. but don't go out." after giving out his orders, zhao xu went to stand to the right.

"When the fireball is fired, remember to quickly drag me in." After Zhao Xu tied the rope that he had used to pull the person up to himself, he threw the other end to the people who were still standing behind him.

From his position, he was the closest to the rune cannon tower.

the runic cannon tower would always lock onto a target. after noah had passed through the pit, he had been standing at the front with his shield raised to protect them, so the runic cannon tower was the first to be activated.

Noah also became the target of the first to fourth round of spells from the runic cannon tower. The fireball was fired at his original position.

Normally speaking, when a fireball landed, the wave of fire would cover an area of seven meters. Even if a normal person rolled and crawled, they wouldn't be able to pull away from it in an instant. Only Zhao Xu's nullifying barrier managed to block the attack and saved Noah and the others from danger.

As the silent fifth round ended, time moved on to the sixth round. The rune cannon tower gathered energy again, and another fireball was brewing in the mouth of the devil statue.

"be careful." Zhao Xu reminded him.

the moment the fireball left the mouth of the turret, zhao xu's entire body was pulled back in by the crowd.

however, the fireball's trajectory was not aimed at him, but at noah.

seeing the ball of fire flying towards him, noah couldn't help but take a step back even though he was standing in the shield.

however, no matter how high the temperature of the fireball was, it turned into nothingness the moment it touched the barrier, as if it had never existed.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.

however, in an instant, outside the spherical barrier, another wave of fire rose up.

countless scorching flames directly covered their vision, burning the surrounding air.

the fireball didn't disappear. It's just that it can't take effect within the range of the barrier. zhao xu explained with a calm expression.

then, zhao xu turned to face noah and said,"i was afraid that the spell would block the rune cannon tower's detection, so i intentionally stood out and got closer." however, the spell of the runic cannon tower was still locked on to you, which meant that you had been the target of the runic cannon tower from the beginning. Unless you're 40 meters away from the runic cannon tower, you'll be able to escape its lock."

zhao xu looked at everyone's confused expressions and knew that he still hadn't reacted to the situation. he pointed at the end of the horizon and said, " "so as long as noah stands here, he won't become the target of the turret even if someone rushes to the bottom of the turret."

"as long as noah didn't leave or die." Zhao Xu smiled and said, "what we need to do now is to send people to check out the situation around the corner. If it's safe and smooth, then Noah can still make use of the break between the fifth round to rush over.

everyone in the team finally understood zhao xu's plan.

"i'll go scout." Fengye stood up and said.

Zhao Xu looked at Fengye and said, "your Constitution has been damaged, and even your related skills have been damaged. Don't join in the fun. Whoever has better roll skills, go Scout the path. "

"I'll do it." rogue rainbow stood up. "my 16 dexterity is no joke."

When he saw rainbow volunteer, Xu Zhao nodded and whispered a few words into his ear. He then patted him on the shoulder and told him to go.

zhao xu's nullifying spell barrier could last for 20 rounds, and luckily, it only lasted for 20 rounds.

if it was the original version, the protective staff would only be at the level of a level-13 spellcaster, so the time limit of 13 rounds would be much higher.

the rogue rainbow knew that time was of the essence, so he did not dare to delay for too long and quickly moved forward.

Zhao Xu had rainbow, who had a high level of roll, go because he wanted to make sure that he really ran into another trap so that he could take a gamble and get through it.

There was no third trap in the corridor, and the rainbow successfully reached the end.

at this time, he was standing under the spell turret of the devil sculpture, and his forehead was slightly sweating. however, after he used the torch to illuminate the road behind the corner, he could not help but laugh.

there was also a long corridor about 100 meters ahead of them. although they didn't know how dangerous it was, it was enough for them to keep a safe distance of 40 meters from the fort.

"I've arrived safely. You can come over. Codename 33."

after a while, rainbow's shout came from the end of the corner.

It was the ninth round, and the fourth spell landed on the barrier and disappeared.

"your code name matches. it's rainbow. you guys go to the front. noah and i will be at the back." Zhao Xu continued to make arrangements.

When he saw that everyone was stunned, Zhao Xu quickly shouted, " hurry up! Get seven meters out first. It won't be too late for you guys to daze off when you're outside of the fireball's range.

at this moment, everyone in the small team rushed to the front of the corridor in a hurry.

92 chapter 92 turn

Zhao Xu watched as everyone ran out, then he quickly continued to shout, " "keep a distance of two meters. there's enough time."

zhao xu finally realized what was going on, but he still hadn't thought things through enough in his hurry.

If there was a trap in the trapdoor ahead, once it was set to be activated with the weight of two people, then if a group of people rushed in together, they would only be killed on the spot.

rainbow had already tested it before, and it was safe for a single person to pass.

in this underground city that was filled with unknowns, he should indeed repeat this well-tested experience.

But when he saw everyone hurriedly distance themselves from each other and split up into groups to charge forward, Zhao Xu wasn't too worried about time.

starting from round 10, as long as they reached the finish line within five rounds, it wouldn't affect zhao xu and noah's plan to leave on round 15. by that time, the cannons would be able to recharge for the third time.

the two sections of the road were only 70 to 80 meters long, and it would take 30 seconds to cross them.

the power of magic is truly profound. " Noah sighed as he saw that everyone had already rushed past the corner.

He opened his hands as if he was trying to touch the mysterious magic particles in the air.

zhao xu looked over at noah. he didn't think that he would be so smart. he knew that it wasn't the outermost layer of the barrier that was protecting them, but the magical effects that filled the entire sphere that were protecting them.

This was the real reason why low tier spells could be suppressed.

This was also why when a fireball fell into the barrier, there were no special effects inside the ball, but the aftermath of the spell explosion would still appear outside the barrier.

" if a warrior could master this spell, would he be able to suppress low-level mages? " noah thought about it and asked.

At this moment, only Zhao Xu and Noah were left in the room.

this spell only suppresses the effect of magic. It's just a magic effect. Zhao Xu said after some thought.

Antonya had told him on the first day that he shouldn't put too much trust in these nullifying spells.

Their greater significance was that they could help him waste a casting action of a high-level mage.

"Can you explain?" noah, who had always been curious about the mystery but couldn't find a way in, was full of curiosity.

Perhaps he only dared to ask so many questions when he was facing a life-and-death crisis.

"Physical objects created by magic can be smashed in. Secondly, the mages can dispel this spell." Zhao Xu gave a simple example.

this was the reason why a certain anime teenager's right hand of god could nullify all effects, but he couldn't stop the gravel from hurting himself.

get ready. I'll put some distance between us first. When I tell you to run, you'll run. Don't worry about me.

zhao xu said as he looked at the rune cannon tower.

The small teams that had already arrived at their destination also shouted to the other sects. However, this time, their voices were a little softer.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's barrier of nullifying lesser spells had already blocked the third spell, and it was already the thirteenth round.

he first walked three to four meters. other than keeping a distance from noah to avoid some hidden risks, he also wanted to reach a safe distance.

only when he reached a safe distance could he free his hands to cast spells.

this way, he could cast a spell to protect noah in time if he did not manage to escape in time.

The secondary spell nullification barrier was a fixed barrier that couldn't be moved, which made him a lot more passive. Otherwise, he could have walked through the barrier to the other side.

However, this barrier had a radius of three meters, and it could reverse many things.

right at this moment, zhao xu raised his eyebrows. the demon statue had finally cast its fourth spell, vampiric touch.

this spell originally required close contact to be effective, but for the runic cannon tower, it only needed to hit from a distance.

when the light from vampiric touch landed on the barrier, zhao xu shouted decisively, " "run!"

After he finished speaking, he ran forward desperately without looking back.

it was a pity that noah probably wouldn't be able to take the damage from vampiric touch. otherwise, zhao xu would have told him to just take the spell head-on.

From the 14th round of vampire's touch to the 16th round of fireballs, Zhao Xu only had 12 seconds to spare.

And they had to run at least 70 meters.

in fact, if the spell cannon tower was faster, it might not even last 12 seconds.

the only time that was absolutely safe was the 6 seconds in round 15.

they didn't just wear quick-drying clothes like they did in sprinting.

Although his strength of 8 points was insufficient for explosive power, his 13 points of agility and 14 points of endurance still allowed his speed to be extraordinary.

by the time he reached the end and reached the bottom of the runic cannon tower, he had only taken less than half the time. he had not even passed half of the fifteenth round.

when he heard noah's footsteps behind him, zhao xu took a deep breath of the stale air in the underground city and forced himself to turn right and run towards the light of the torch.

There was a small team waiting for them.

"Hurry, we're almost there."

in the end, zhao xu managed to get to a safe distance that everyone had estimated.

Noah also rushed over. The dagger on his waist had fallen from his desperate charge, but he did not even dare to look back.

after zhao xu's sprint came to a sudden stop, he put his hands on his waist and kept panting. he could feel the burning sensation in his lungs.

the fifteenth round had just ended. he had reached the finish line earlier than he had expected.

By the time the sixteenth round was over, the mouth of the devil statue did not produce any new fireball.

"We're finally safe." zhao xu let go of the magic staff that he had been gripping so tightly just now.

Mr. Zhongxia, you're amazing. When can I be like you? " The priest said as he looked at him with admiration.

from the rogue rainbow to the poet, the antarctic frog, they all looked at him with admiration.

Zhao Xu tightened his grip on the protective magic staff in his hand.

" youyou, then you should have studied divine power well when you were in the church of the goddess of magic. " Zhao Xu replied with a smile.

"hehe, i know," the cleric apprentice pouted and said.

"it's too dangerous up ahead. let's pack up before we set off." zhao xu said.

"yup," Leader Noah said as he pulled out his weapon from its sheath.

I'll cast a spell first. I'll stand a little closer to you later. I was too passive just now. zhao xu then started to swing his body and started chanting.

"Mage Armor!"

"protection from evil!"

"holy domain!"

Zhao Xu cast one spell after another on himself, as if all the spell slots were free.

"It seems like I've just exposed myself." A hoarse voice came.

The six members of the team who had arrived first were standing across from Zhao Xu and Noah with strange smiles on their faces as they spoke in the same voice.

93 half-purgatory creature

Seeing his six former teammates repeating the same words, Noah couldn't help but tremble even though he was holding his weapon tightly.

A beguiling spell could control one's loved ones to raise their butcher's knife against them.

Wizard Arthur's reputation had never been built in a day.

If there were no gods to patrol the world, then the spellcasters would definitely dominate the world. This saying of Arthur had always been profound.

"don't be afraid, it's just an illusion." zhao xu said calmly.

His eyes had already skipped over the six people in front of him and landed on the deep darkness behind them.

In this tunnel, although the torch's illumination range was limited, its light should have been able to provide a dim view of the place further away.

Unlike now, where the light was completely compressed in this circle with a diameter of four to five meters, as if it was wrapped in a huge black curtain.

" a 'mage armor' spell that provides invisible armor. " the priest's leisurely figure said. her face was mechanical, like a puppet.

it's a 'protection from evil' spell that provides defense deflection, resistance immunity, and invasion resistance. Rogue rainbow's face was stiff, and his mouth was open and close.

" a 'holy domain spell' that the enemy's attack must pass a willpower check. " it was as if the warrior maple leaf had an invisible pair of hands, pressing down on his jaw and squeezing out words.

"it's not simple for these three spells to appear on the same person." the six of them said in unison.

noah could no longer take it. he swung his sword and said, " enough. tell them to stop. stop toying with my teammates. "

that strike was so fierce that even zhao xu could hear the sound of the sword slicing through the air, just like noah's boundless rage.

"You're noisy." a cold voice came from the deep darkness behind him.

There was nothing unusual, just the magic of a voice. Noah's body instantly stiffened and fell to the ground, as if his strength had been sucked out.

Zhao Xu's entire back went numb.

as soon as the mastermind finished speaking, his information panel showed that he had failed to identify the spell.

An instant cast spell knocked Noah out, so fast that he didn't even have time to warn him.

zhao xu's grip on the protective magic staff loosened a little.

this was no longer something that a level four arcane spell, the nullifying barrier of secondary spells, could save him.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an order: It was just a crippled spell. There are some things that are easier to discuss between mages." the voice continued to come from the depths of the darkness.

zhao xu laughed bitterly, " cripple wasn't a core spell, and it was one that was difficult to learn.

it could reduce the hp of a character with less than 50hp to zero.

anyone would only truly die if they lost-10 hp. to keep their hp at zero, only such a clever spell could do it.

it was not easy to control the damage of a random spell cast by an advanced mage.

If instant-casting level five arcane spells was not optimized, it meant that the opponent had level nine spell slots!

a level 17 wizard who could cast level 9 spells sounded a little magical.

but even a level 9 wizard who could only cast level 5 spells would be beyond zhao xu's level.

Not to mention that he had the 'secondary spell nullification barrier', even if he had the advanced version of the level six arcane spell, the' spell nullification barrier', which could resist level one to level four spells, it would be useless.

From the moment he was able to cast level five spells, a wizard's combat abilities had reached a whole new level. This level was also when Antonya thought that he had truly become strong.

"Why don't we remove these illusions first?" zhao xu suggested.

Even though Zhao Xu didn't use his killer move, it seemed like the person behind this was also waiting for him.

"As you wish."

suddenly, the illusions of the six people standing stiffly in front of him turned into bubbles.

the area illuminated by the torches on the ground had expanded quite a bit, and the darkness had retreated further.

Only then did Zhao Xu see that his original six teammates, from yoyo to martial artist Gale, were all lying on the ground. He didn't know if they had been treated the same way Noah had been treated.

zhao xu estimated his surroundings. it was just that the battlefield was a little too small, and the aftermath would probably be enough to send everyone back to the temple of life.

but zhao xu wasn't the kind of person who would surrender just because his teammates were being held hostage. the only thing he could do was fight to the death with the enemy after his teammates died.

slowly, a mage wearing a dark green robe with a hood appeared on the dividing line of the shadows.

he was in the middle of the fire and darkness, and he was very elegant, as if he was a natural born noble. at the same time, he was holding a metal staff that was slightly shorter than zhao xu's.

along with it was a slight stench in the air.

zhao xu's attention was focused on the scepter. he recognized the origin of this scepter.

once, when he was performing the awakening ceremony, the old wizard mocar, who was in charge of hosting the ceremony, was holding a similar 'high-level supreme magic: spell instant cast scepter.'

At that time, Mocar could use the Supreme magic scepter in his hand to instantly cast Level 1 to level 9 spells three times a day without the need for any high-level spell slots.

As for the mage in front of him, although the style was similar, it didn't seem to be as expensive as Mocar's. It was probably an ordinary version of a Supreme magic spell from the first to the sixth level.

this meant that instant spells could be cast with the help of a scepter and not with level 9 spell slots, which made zhao xu feel a little more at ease.

"why did you knock down my teammate?" zhao xu thought about it for a moment, but he still asked.

at this moment, the wizard walked out from the shadows and raised his head to look at zhao xu. " " i should be the one asking you why you trespassed on the territory of great wizard ryan. "

when zhao xu saw wizard leo's face, even though he had seen many creatures from hell in his previous life, he still couldn't help but take a step back.

the wizard in front of him, clayon, had horns on his head and red eyes. half of his face was covered in black scales, and what was even more terrifying was that he had a pair of bat-like black wings on his back.

if the wizard leo in front of them were to wear a mask, the players might even think that he was arthur's version of batman.

but zhao xu, who had gone through so much in the anti-magic war in his previous life, knew very well that this wizard had already become a half-purgatory creature.

mages had the ability to change their appearance with illusions, especially when ryan had just deceived them with illusions.

However, wizard Ryan still had that terrifying appearance. It was obvious that he did not care about the identity of a half-purgatory creature.

After thinking this through, Zhao Xu's eyes started to become more determined.

Half-purgatory creatures were creatures contaminated by demons, Devils, or other evil forces. When they gained powerful abilities, they also fell into evil.

"So you said that I only made you half dead, was that already very kind of you?" Wizard Leo sneered, his eyes filled with madness.

"then why don't you knock me down too?" zhao xu retorted.

he had already completed the preparation of the ritual-as long as he thought for a moment, the powerful force behind him would explode.

hehe, it's rare to meet someone who's both a mage and a priest. How can I not be concerned? " said wizard clayon, his posture still as elegant as a noble.

Zhao Xu wasn't surprised. When he cast the divine spell, Holy domain, he didn't plan on hiding it from this mysterious person in front of him.

Clayon raised his head and looked at the pitch-black ceiling of the tunnel. His exposed neck was completely covered in black scales, like a piece of burnt stone after the lava cooled down.

I once wanted to multi-profession as a level 1 cleric so that I could successfully advance to 'Guardian of runes'. wizard ryan suddenly lowered his head and looked at zhao xu with a ferocious expression.

"Why didn't the goddess give me this chance? Where is my faith not sincere enough? how did you become the goddess's priest so easily?"

zhao xu was planning on using his trump card, but he wasn't nervous at all, even though wizard ryan looked like he was half a demon.

"you're asking me, but who should i ask?" Zhao Xu said nonchalantly. He could vaguely sense that wizard Ryan's mental state was a little off.

A calm mage was far more terrifying than a crazy mage.

" hehe, it seems like no one has explained to you the power of the advanced 'rune guardian'. " Wizard Ryan suddenly lowered his head in frustration. He stuck his hands into his hair and clenched them tightly.

Under the attack of the power of purgatory, his originally thin and weak hands bulged with black scales.

why are ignorant people like you candidates for The Guardian of runes for no reason, while I, who kneeled before the statue day and night and begged pitifully, can't even enter the door? "

wizard ryan suddenly raised his head and let out an angry roar.

zhao xu almost used up all his energy, but even after he finished roaring, his identify skill still didn't move at all.

was this the reason why he needed to be promoted to a level 1 cleric?

Zhao Xu thought to himself, but he also wanted to complain about whether or not they should fight.

suddenly, wizard ryan's attention fell on the staff in zhao xu's hand.

"it's actually a protective magic staff. how can a level 2 or 3 noob bring such a valuable item out? which school of mages or church would be so rich?"

when he heard this, zhao xu was certain that there was something wrong with this wizard's brain.

he didn't know if it was because of the abyssal power's invasion or if he had gone crazy after staying here for too long.

With wizard Leo's strength, there was no need to act with him, but he had waited until this moment to pay attention to his staff.

even the proud mages shouldn't do that.

According to the mages 'above average intelligence, if they couldn't see these things in an instant and then react, they would really be fed to the dogs.

this was also where wizard arthur was difficult to deal with. in battle, not only did he suppress wizard arthur with spells, but he also suppressed his intelligence.

"You brought this group of newbies here to risk their lives with this staff?" Clayon nodded and sized him up.

"you dared to come in when you saw the altar outside. you must be relying on the staff's 'expel' spell. even if there really is a demon inside, you can still fight it out with this spell. it's a pity you met me, yingluo."

When he heard this, Zhao Xu laughed bitterly. The spell of expel was effective against creatures from another world like demons, but the half-purgatory creature in front of him was considered a local creature from another world, so it wasn't within the spell's range of effect.

but zhao xu's confidence wasn't in his magic staff anymore. he just couldn't quite figure out what the wizard in front of him was thinking.

was he going to use words to strike at his confidence first? There was no need for that. Their levels had already been suppressed to this extent.

and zhao xu was the weaker one, so they had to figure out what the other party was thinking before they could act.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had made up his mind to go back and study hard. He really wouldn't go out to the outside world until he reached level 9, so that he wouldn't have to waste his energy on high-level Wizards like these.

"the staff also has the 'protective barrier against living things' spell. it can ensure that other than the undead, no other creatures can touch you, and naturally, they can't attack you. i'm a mage, and i can cast spells above the fourth-level, so i can kill you without entering the protective barrier. this is the mockery of fate. could it be the goddess's arrangement for me to kill one of her priests to vent the anger in my heart?" The mage Clayon was suddenly intoxicated by himself.

"then you can try." Zhao Xu said.

Later on, he would have to see if wizard Ryan had reached level 17.

antonya's benefits were too strong, so strong that he didn't dare to use them casually. otherwise, if it was just an item like a magic staff, he would have thrown it at her face a long time ago.

He was not confident that he could successfully use the candle in front of the high Mage.

"Although I really want to kill you." Suddenly, Clayon said in a low voice, " but I can let you go.

"conditions?" zhao xu asked directly.

From this encounter, he knew that the mage must have some secret behind him, but he couldn't see through it without any clues. Basically, all the knowledge checks he had just performed had failed.

"There are a total of seven people on the ground here. You only need to kill three of them. i can let you and the other four go, and at the same time give you a precious magic item." Clayon chuckled, his voice hoarse.

zhao xu laughed coldly. this was a good idea.

of the seven players on the ground, four were players and three were arthur's natives.

If he killed the players, the players would revive anyway, and he could even get magical items. Perhaps he could directly activate a hidden Mission Branch, which was a good deal. This was what some of the players thought.

"You guys should be Earth's adventurers, right? I've been locked up here for too long, and I don't even know what's happening outside." Clayon continued, " this is interesting. It turns out that you have five chances to be resurrected as projections. This makes it even less of a problem.

"It's a rule that anyone who enters this place must die. I can't break it. You don't have to worry about the anger of the three people who died. I can give you some more treasures, so that you can share them with them, and it will calm down."

Zhao Xu looked at wizard Leo in front of him and started to feel very confused.

The other party had said too much, so much that even he himself had caught a trace of clues.

At this moment, Zhao Xu turned his attention to the way Ryan was dressed. The fact that he had been locked up for a long time reminded him that maybe wizard Ryan wasn't as free as he thought he would be.

but where was the loophole?

to be able to take down a limited high-level wizard in a battle of wits, he would be guaranteed to be level 9 when he returned, right?

it was a pity that wizard ryan's robe was not of the same style as his. it was also not like the robes of the high-level wizards he had seen in floating city. it was only slightly similar. otherwise, based on his words of pleading with the goddess, he almost thought that the other party had the same origin as him.

forget it, he'd just casually throw out a spell to test the waters. if he really knocked down the other party, then he'd really be able to pick it up.

zhao xu immediately started casting a spell, but a message suddenly popped up on his information panel.

adventurer zhongxia, you can now level up to level 2. please arrange your skill points and unlearned specialties as soon as possible.

95 The truth

Zhao Xu was just about to cast a spell, but he was almost blinded by this notification.

Level 2?

in his previous life, he entered the game eight months after the server opened, and it took him four months to reach level 2. during this period of time, other than doing quests and not taking many risks, the main reason was that he did not master the know-how of a level 2 warrior. he could not touch the threshold of a tier 2 attack, and his mastery of various weapons was average.

now, just as he was about to cast a spell, he actually broke through the threshold of level 2.

After he consolidated his Foundation, he would become a level 2 mage among the players.

more importantly, for his second profession, after level 1 cleric, he could finally go and part-time work as the mysterious level 1 archivist.

If Antonya knew that he was already Level 2, she would probably make an exception and let him use the teleportation spell to quickly go back and receive training.

However, no matter how wonderful Zhao Xu's fantasies were, he still had to get rid of the creature in front of him first.

"oh? were you just preparing to kill me? It's such a pity. It seems that I have to let you understand that if you don't choose, I'll choose for you." Wizard Clayon suddenly laughed and pointed at Noah.

there was a loud bang, and noah, who had been lying next to zhao xu's feet, was turned into a cloud of dust.

Level six arcane dissociation!

This spell that could turn everything into dust was being cast right in front of Zhao Xu.

an ordinary person would collapse when they saw a living person disappear into thin air beside them and turn into dust.

But Zhao Xu was very calm as he looked at the things in front of him.

get rid of everything that is impossible. No matter how unbelievable the rest is, it is still the truth. Zhao Xu said this famous saying calmly. the traces were too deliberate.

when it's hard to believe in the sins you've caused, it's easy to think that everything is the world's fault and that everything is fake. This kind of self-comfort is not bad. Mage Ryan laughed nonchalantly.

"Where did my companions go?" Zhao Xu asked again.

it was as if he didn't see noah's death as he directly questioned spell ryan.

"What?" Mage Ryan asked for the first time.

He could tell from Zhao Xu's serious expression that he wasn't just testing him.

"Your illusions are too clumsy." Zhao Xu explained.

all of a sudden, everything in the world shattered into pieces, as if time had reversed.

The darkness slowly receded, and the demonic scales on wizard Clayon's body also slowly disappeared, returning him to his original handsome appearance.

" you don't have the art of truth, so how could my 'eternal illusion' be seen through? " Wizard Ryan lowered his head and sighed.

A few dozen meters behind him were seven people, including Noah. They were blocked by an invisible barrier.

everyone was waving and shouting at zhao xu, but their voices couldn't reach him.

"No need to look, they've been blocked by my silence and force field spell." Clayon said, " tell me, how did you see through my double illusion? my acting skills and illusion were flawless.

of course, what I said about The Guardian of the runes at the beginning wasn't acting. I'm really jealous of you.

zhao xu frowned, but he didn't let out a sigh of relief. instead, he was on high alert.

" don't be nervous. actually, you guys should really improve on your lying and observation skills. just now, you had that 'i have a trump card that i can kill you' expression on your face, and it almost made me want to see what kind of trump card antonya has given you. "

when he heard antonya's name, zhao xu couldn't help but look at wizard leo with some doubt.

A history?

don't look at me. All the magic items she makes have her mark. Look at the bottom of the staff and see if there's a girlish lace.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he laughed awkwardly. From his Howard's pocket to this staff, they all had this symbol.

but since the person in front of him knew antonya, did that mean that he was actually safe?

"Then can you let my companion go first?" Zhao Xu tried to make a request.

they have no right to listen to the rest of my words. I'm in a hurry as well. Quickly finish your discussion and get lost. This is not a place you can come in now. wizard ryan said.

"who are you?" Even though Zhao Xu had a lot of questions in his mind, he still decided to return to the three main questions that humans had.

"Hehe, I'm fine. who am i?"

Wizard Clayon shook his head. I thought you would recognize my handsome senior after I revealed my handsome face.

Suddenly, wizard Ryan's expression froze. He looked deeply at Zhao Xu again, and the jealousy in his eyes became even more intense. I knew it, I knew it. Some people are born with it, and some people pursue it their entire lives. You don't know me? in other words, you're teaching a private lesson right from the start?"

When he heard this, Zhao Xu didn't dare to say anything.

these high-level wizards knew too much, and they were too sharp. he didn't expect antonya to be able to hold on for long.

after all, he had a deeper secret.

But after a moment of silence, wizard Ryan didn't ask any further. I'm an idiot too. Since Antonya has given you this, you're definitely going to be part of the final Scroll series. Hehe, I'm so jealous of you.

" i'll introduce myself in one sentence. i'm ryan, a mage who made the wrong choice. i'm here to atone for my sins. "

after saying that, wizard ryan's expression became a lot more desolate.

"what wrong choice did you make?" zhao xu hesitated for a while, but he still asked.

Clayon continued to lower his head. I was in the same situation as you were, but I made the opposite choice.

"the reason i convinced myself at that time was that i could go back and ask the temple to resurrect them with a resurrection spell. it's better to have a few die than a group. It's just that I was too young back then, and some of my souls are not something you can get back. that's why i've been watching over them for the rest of my life."

zhao xu looked at leo in front of him but didn't say anything. he also didn't stand on the moral high ground and criticize him.

when he thought about the altars in the demogorgon temple, zhao xu started to understand something.

"How did you get here?" it was mage ryan's turn to ask.

zhao xu's face froze. he smiled helplessly and said, " i heard that there's a big secret here, so i just came in to find out. Time was of the essence, so I didn't do much investigation before coming in."

"What a brave adventurer." Clayon shook his head. the miners dug something up here. I happened to be nearby, so I came to take a look. Who knew that the abyssal forces would also pay attention to this place and set me up on the way?"

"However, after all these years, I've finally found some clues about the things I dug out back then."

"what clue?" zhao xu played along and asked.

"Of course it's the secret treasure of the arcane King, Ernest. Hadn't Ernest heard of it? You've sat on his chair when you awakened, right? it's rumored that he has a relationship with the first goddess of magic."

clayon gestured with his fingers.

96 The ITRE dynasty

zhao xu was just about to ask more questions, but his entire mind was drawn to the term 'hidden treasure'.

In his previous life, the forces on earth had struggled for several years before finally coming together. It was said that they had found the lost inheritance of the legendary ITRE dynasty and relied on the huge amount of resources in the inheritance to successfully arm a strong Army, fighting for the pride of the forces on earth in the later demon-sealing battle.

At that time, Zhao Xu had only heard the people around him talking about the inside story of the top floor, so he just followed what they said. He didn't even know where the inheritance of the ittell dynasty was located.

There was no way to dig it up.

This was also the reason why he had not thought too much about this dynasty's legacy. In any case, his level was high enough, so he would naturally be able to enter it in the future.

But now, there was also the secret treasure of the arcane King, Ernest?

Zhao Xu suddenly remembered that the ITRE dynasty seemed to have some connections with the ancient arcane Kingdom, so he quickly asked, " "What is the relationship between Emperor Ernest and the ITRE dynasty?"

After hearing this, wizard Leo sized him up. is it really such a coincidence? When you were studying the knowledge of 'nobles and Royal families', you read something related to it? logically speaking, even if you have a level 4 knowledge (noble and royal), you shouldn't be able to find out the origin of this. could it be that some things are really destined?"

after a while, zhao xu's expression was still very calm, and he didn't seem to find anything strange.

Wizard Ryan knew that he could not read minds and could not see any secrets, so he continued to explain.

"This involves a very big secret. If you don't want anything to happen, don't go back and make a fuss. The descendants of the ittell dynasty have a lot of power in the Sorcerer Association headquarters. They're all very secretive about this part of history and don't want to mention it. "

Seeing that Zhao Xu was already focused on escaping, wizard Ryan held back a little before he continued, " "It is said that the founding King of the ITRE dynasty was a descendant of Ernest. As for when Ernest had descendants and who his wife was, don't ask me. I want to know too."

"Back then, Ernest had basically already predicted the collapse of the entire Arcane Empire after his death, including the collapse of the entire magic civilization. therefore, he divided the most precious treasury of the arcane empire into two-one true secret treasure and one fake secret treasure. A thousand years later, the founding monarch of the ITRE dynasty had obtained that fake secret treasure and successfully established his country. It's only less than one-twentieth of the true treasure, but it's enough for ITRE to establish a dynasty that spans a thousand years."

"as for what i've dug up this time, it points to that true secret treasure." after saying this, wizard ryan raised his eyebrows proudly, as if he was saying, " look at how amazing i am. "

After Zhao Xu listened to all of this, he finally understood that ITRE had used that fake treasure from Ernest to build his dynasty. And after this dynasty had lasted for a thousand years, the treasure that had been left behind had become the legendary legacy of the dynasty, and the forces on earth had used it to complete their country.

Now that he thought about it, how strong was the original Ernest's true hidden secret?

in comparison, there was less than one-twentieth of the fake secret treasure. after 1000 years, there would probably be less than one-fortieth left. this way, it could still support the forces of the entire earth!

"then, great wizard ryan, what did you discover?" zhao xu asked. there was too much going on behind the scenes, and he didn't want to get involved at first. but it was still related to the itre dynasty, and zhao xu decided to ask about it in the future.

"That's why I was looking at you strangely just now." clayon replied, " i found out that the fake treasure obtained by the ittell dynasty has the key to the real treasure. so, whoever has the lost inheritance of the ittell dynasty might be able to find the real treasure of ernest. "

Zhao Xu's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

No wonder the forces on earth had been hiding the inheritance of the ITRE dynasty. It turned out that there was an even bigger secret behind it!

But?

even though zhao xu was an earthling, he really wanted to ask what the powers on earth had done to deserve to have their hands on such things.

at the level of ernest's true treasure, all the gods would be involved.

when ernest had established the empire in ancient times, at least half of the gods were different from the current ones. If he had survived, he might have been the god of magic.

not to mention, ernest, who had a non-god body, had a record of killing ancient gods.

This Forbidden History came from the book Antonya had read to him in the past.

"Isn't it exciting to hear such inside information? it's finally worth the energy from your staff, right?" mage clayon smiled confidently.

but great wizard Ryan, it's no use for you to dig up this information all these years. zhao xu thought about it and said.

He guessed that Ryan must have some information about ITRE's inheritance.

the mage clayon was not convinced. " ha, i was considered a core of the intensive training back then. although i wasn't at the level of your faction's intensive training, i've come into contact with enough inside information. but before i tell you the inside story, i have to ask you, who is your mentor?"

"antonya." zhao xu's answer was very simple when he saw her asking a question that she already knew the answer to.

" even though you're carrying two of antonya's creations with you, i still need to continue looking at the evidence. "

"then look at this." Zhao Xu took out the Holy emblem that Archbishop soz had given him and placed it on his palm.

seeing the sacred emblem that was filled with a holy aura, wizard leo was stunned. he did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this sacred emblem was more dazzling than the ones he had seen before.

What a cunning kid.

wizard leo mumbled to himself. actually, he just wanted zhao xu to show off one or two of his specialties.

he had already guessed that the kid in front of him had used many spells, but he couldn't use them without spontaneous casting.

However, this was enough for him to be certain that the kid in front of him definitely had a lot of skills.

If he could find out the secrets of his specialties such as " creating temporary spells, " " Beyonder spell targeting, " and " bizarre foresight, " he would wake up from his dreams laughing.

Unfortunately, the Holy emblem of the priest of the goddess of magic was enough to prove everything. even if he was hiding here, he would not dare to step forward and question the credibility of the goddess 'priest.

wizard clayon could only sigh in his heart. he did not get any specialties, and instead, he lost many secrets.

however, the person in front of him had already made him feel that there was hope for the thing he was pursuing. he was not stingy and continued, " the secret of ITRE's Lost Legacy is in the hands of the descendants of ITRE in the floating city.

The floating city!

wang ningwei!

Zhao Xu realized that he had already figured out why the forces on earth had gotten their hands on ittell's legacy.

it was the headquarters of the wizard association who told wang ningwei the secret of ittell's lost legacy!

in addition to the personal charm brought about by the "leadership," the last legacy of the ittell dynasty was the reason why wang ningwei could settle the forces on earth.

besides, I'm 80 to 90 percent sure that the big shots of the Sorcerer Association know the clues to the real secret treasure, and that they're hiding it in the fake secret treasure.

"then why don't they just dig it out?" zhao xu asked in return.

no one is a fool. Think about it, the ITRE dynasty has the key, but they couldn't find the true treasure for a thousand years. There must be a reason for that. Otherwise, the dynasty wouldn't have fallen.

" i'm guessing that the excavation will need some time. " After he said this, wizard Ryan gave Zhao Xu a deep look.
