As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, everyone present looked at him blankly, not expecting this result.
"Zhongxia, actually-" Maple Leaf quickly stood up to relax the atmosphere.
But at this time, Zhao Xu had already stood up, and he shook his head gently: "Everyone has his own choice, and he has to pay the price for his choice. You have to walk your own road. As long as you know the price ahead, there is no need to force it. Convince anyone.”
After Maple Leaf heard this, he swallowed back the words in his heart that "at worst it's just a resurrection stone."
Zhao Xu's words were not to convince them, but to convince himself.
After a while, Maple Leaf turned around and scanned his three teammates one by one. He understood a little bit from everyone's nods.
"Zhongxia, the four of us plan to stay. After all, we accepted this mission at the beginning, but don't worry, we know the price ahead, and I will do my best to protect my teammates."
After Maple Leaf said these words, he suddenly felt a lot better.
What Zhao Xu just said was also telling Maple Leaf that as long as Maple Leaf and the others could accept the risks and costs, he would not say a word more about it.
I was afraid that I would just get excited for a moment and then rush in without looking back.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhao Xu said calmly. Most of his luggage was packed in convenience bags and backpacks, and there was nothing to pack.
"Hey, brother Zhongxia, is it raining outside?" Pastor Youyou said quickly.
But at this time, Zhao Xu had already stood up and walked towards the outside of the tent with his back to them. "There has never been a spell caster in this world who has been killed by the rain."
"Mr. Zhongxia, there is also your reward." At this time, Roja finally said.
"Just go back and get it from the Mages Association in the big town. Just tell me to hand it over to Mystra Zhongxia. I can get it."
At this time, Zhao Xu had opened the curtain of the tent and left, and the sound came faintly from outside.
The guards everywhere outside were looking for a corner to take shelter from the rain. In order to leave at any time, the caravan only set up a tent for Roja and others to use during the day.
When the guards saw him coming out, they didn't know that Zhao Xu had decided to leave, so they all nodded friendly towards him.
Zhao Xu's experience of successfully knocking out Tie Shi that day has been successfully recognized by everyone.
Even if Luo Ya dies now, with Zhao Xu's face, he can still pull up the remaining troops.
This is the reason why Arthur is born among the people and naturally follows the strong.
It's just that the air was so stuffy before midsummer, so it would be so violent when the rainstorm came.
Looking at the heavy rain pouring down from the sky and countless small water bowls being smashed on the ground, Zhao Xu suddenly felt that the power of nature was also so unpredictable.
And what level is magic that can drive the power of nature and reduce it to its own power
It's a pity that he is not a senior mage, otherwise he would be able to stop the rain.
Zhao Xu thought as he took out a rainproof cloak from his backpack.
This cloak was originally put by Antinoya in his convenience bag.
Although the cloak does not have any magical abilities, the outer layer has been specially treated to be waterproof, and due to the special material, it can be used as a raincoat.
At the same time, Zhao Xu also took out an oil-paper umbrella. The few guards looking at this were stunned. They didn't expect that Zhao Xu's backpack could hide an umbrella.
Thanks to Antinoya putting an umbrella for him, Zhao Xu couldn't do the embarrassing thing of going back and borrowing an oil-paper umbrella at this time.
It's just that this place is located near Nanyu Forest, and is surrounded by muddy ground that has not yet been reclaimed. Under a heavy rainstorm, not to mention pedestrians, even horses may fall into pits at any time.
Zhao Xu evaluated it and found out that the horse he summoned using the first-level spell "Summon Mount" might not help either.
But Zhao Xu had already thought of a plan the moment he decided to leave.
He had already copied many useful spells from the scroll given by Antinoya that day.
At this time, Zhao Xu took out a small glass jar directly from his pocket, which contained silvery white and sticky mercury.
He opened the small mouth of the bottle, let out a drop of mercury and dropped it to the ground, and at the same time began to recite a spell in his mouth.
I saw that the mercury that had just fallen to the ground suddenly turned into light smoke, and turned into an invisible force field floating dish against the heavy rain in the sky.
This slightly concave force field disk was suspended in thin air about one meter above the ground.
Zhao Xu used his thoughts to control it a little, and the concave surface of the disc that could originally carry liquid was directly flattened, so that no rainwater would accumulate.
Zhao Xu stretched out his hand and pressed the edge of the floating saucer, then stepped on it.
Driven by his thoughts, the floating disk also moved forward, like a magnetic levitation vehicle.
The guards around looked at Zhao Xu's spell blankly, but they didn't expect that the spell caster actually had such a skill.
The first-level arcane "floating saucer" was originally developed by spellcasters to be used as a trolley. It can carry objects and has a load-bearing capacity of about 90 kilograms per caster level. Especially after the fourth-level spell "Advanced Floating Saucer" was developed, the first-level spell "Floating Saucer" was also promoted to the point where manned movement could be carried out.
Zhao Xu is now equipped with an iron stone which is equivalent to a level 3 spell caster, so the floating dish can bear a living creature of nearly 270 kilograms. Not to mention his weight, adding a child will not be a problem.
At the same time, the duration of the spell has also become 3 hours long, and it is impossible to say that it can survive this heavy rain.
Due to its floating nature, Zhao Xu would not be splashed with any mud.
Zhao Xu deliberately learned this spell before, originally in order to gain the ability to float temporarily before obtaining the third-level "Flying Technique".
After an incident where he struggled to climb through a trap door trap in an underground mine, Zhao Xu learned this spell immediately after he came out.
Zhao Xu, holding an oil-paper umbrella, was walking on the edge of Nanyu Forest.
Now that he was out of the caravan, he no longer had to travel day and night or avoid main roads.
With the certificate issued by the Mages Association in his pocket, he had a smooth journey wherever he went.
This was also the reason why Zhao Xu was too lazy to go back to the association in Crescent Town and asked the other party to send him to a big town.
It wouldn't take him a day and a half to get there by himself, but it might take another two or three days for the association's bureaucrats to coordinate the procedures.
However, the floating saucer was slower than the horses after all, and its traveling speed was about the same as Zhao Xu himself.
Zhao Xu just left first to look cool. After walking far away, he began to scan around for any suitable places to take shelter from the rain.
But under the heavy rain, his sight was greatly suppressed.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu faintly saw a passerby standing in the heavy rain, opening his hands as if to welcome the gift of life.
While he was on guard, he approached curiously and found a middle-aged man with blond hair.
The other person had a look of comfort on his face, feeling the strong wind hitting his body.
"Need help?" Zhao Xu asked in a low voice.
The blond middle-aged man turned around and looked at Zhao Xu who was standing on the floating saucer. He showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Originally, I should have thanked you for your kindness, but why did you have a trace of it on your body?" A smell that disgusts me."
"Have you been exposed to anything?"
