The Truth of Magic

Chapter 114: Riding alone

Views:

Cui Lu didn't come back to her senses until Zhao Xu's figure disappeared around the corner of the canteen. She murmured to herself, "How did he know that I just registered a new account and chose to be a ranger?"

Many people in Cui Lu's class were very involved in playing, but after almost a month, not to mention that the resurrection stones were on the verge of being used up, and there were also many who re-created their characters.

Although Cui Lu still has two resurrection stones left, she has understood that bard is not her true path.

That's why she deleted her account and started over, even if she started from scratch.

But she was still a little confused about Zhao Xu's suggestion.

Although there are currently not many ranger players who have reached level 2, there has been endless debate about the choice of "combat style" for the ranger's level 2 professional ability.

The question of which genre is the real big brother, "Archery" or "Two-Weapon Fighting", is basically a hot topic among ranger players.

It’s just that the true intensity in the end has to be experienced by the players themselves.

When Zhao Xu logged into the game again the next day, Golden Dragon Campas had left and was missing.

And the rain shelter he created with his magic also disappeared.

However, Zhao Xu knew the real name of the ancient golden dragon Campas, and in a sense, they also had an extra layer of connection.

At this time, the entire Nanyu Forest has not completely cleared up, but yesterday's heavy rain has stopped, leaving only brief showers that suddenly fall from time to time.

Looking up, the entire sky was still squeezed by thick black clouds, blocking the sunlight and hinting that a bigger rainstorm would hit at any time.

Zhao Xu didn't care too much. Unless it was a violent storm or even a blizzard, it wouldn't be a problem for his 14-year-old physique to accidentally get caught in the rain.

His 14 points of physical fitness are already comparable to those of ordinary athletes who have undergone some training.

However, Zhao Xu found a tree stump and sat down first, and began to meditate and prepare spells.

When he masters the second-level magic rope skill at level 3 in the future, he will have the most basic hiding space, and he will not have to be so passive and worry about being disturbed by wild animals.

Originally, Zhao Xu thought that he would not be able to reach level 3 within two or three months. However, within ten days of venturing out, he easily reached level 2, which put him on the agenda to become a second-level mage. .

Thinking of his previous life, he didn't know how many swords he struck before he successfully understood the level 2 attack power. The current level 2 mage is more like a dream.

After Zhao Xu prepared the spell, he stood up and patted his butt, only to find that the entire Nanyu forest after the rain seemed to have been copied and pasted. He almost couldn't tell whether he was bewitched by the illusion or not.

Yesterday, with the breath of his heart, he naturally felt that the sea and the sky were vast, and he was at home all over the world.

Now that I have regained consciousness, I still have to find the main caravan route.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but complain. Yesterday, the Golden Dragon Campas patted his chest and said that he would provide him with all kinds of considerate services.

But when Zhao Xu begged him to cast a teleportation spell, the originally elegant Golden Dragon approached the old rich man and directly offered him the service fee for the fifth-level spells of the Mage Association.

Based on 50 gold coins for a fifth-level spell base, multiplied by the caster level 9 required to cast the spell, the total is 450 gold coins.

At that time, the Golden Dragon Campas looked like it was being sold at a friendly price, saying that he did not calculate it based on his real caster level of over 19, which was equivalent to half the price, which was enough for Zhao Xu to consider.

But Zhao Xu flatly rejected the proposal before his brain burned out.

Now 450GP is a huge wealth among the player community.

If Zhao Xu couldn't get through the Mage Association's portal, he would naturally pay for it.

Now, it only takes him a day and a half to get to a big town, and the cost of a carriage trip of 450 gold coins is too luxurious.

So Zhao Xu could only sigh and take out a map from his backpack that included the three islands forests in the north, middle and south.

After looking carefully for a while, he barely estimated a direction.

Arthur does not have magnetic poles like the earth, so he cannot take out a compass to determine the direction. He can only rely on the position of the sun in the sky, the density of the forest, and some more obvious signs to assist in the analysis.

Thanks to the detailed map Antinoyase gave him, it saved him a lot of effort.

For experience in the wild, the "survival" skill is a very practical skill, but Zhao Xu did not invest in it at all.

Otherwise, once the survival skill reaches level 5, people will be able to automatically identify a clear direction.

Zhao Xu's current investment points are more towards late-stage play. Many skills in the early stage have little practicality in the later stage, or can be replaced by spells. Zhao Xu saves skill points and would rather invest in more knowledge skills and concentration skills. and spell recognition skills.

However, no matter how much Zhao Xu saved, he still didn't save any spell slots for the journey.

With the current lack of spell slots among the mage community, they are reluctant to invest in learning, let alone casting these spells.

But after a month of training in the floating city, Zhao Xu has accepted this concept - if spells can't allow him to enjoy himself, then being a mage is too boring.

In the travel spell, the duration of "floating saucer" is one hour per caster level, and the duration of summoned mount is two hours per caster level.

After Zhao Xu considered that he really had to walk such a long way, he thought about it and chose to cast the "summoning mount" spell.

In this way, while comparing the map in his hand, he checked his knowledge (nature) skills from time to time. After spending almost three hours, he finally reached a main road near Nanyu Forest.

Compared with the muddy roads in Nanyu Forest, these main roads specially maintained by the Tianbei Merchant Alliance did not accumulate much water at the moment even after yesterday's heavy rain, which slightly affected the light horse under Zhao Xu. Just speed.

"Riding" is a magical skill that can assist characters in riding combat, but Zhao Xu simply uses it for transportation, so there is no big problem.

Zhao Xu patted the light horse he had summoned, and the other party decisively accelerated a few steps.

"Summoning saves trouble." Zhao Xu couldn't help but praise.

When passing through the canyon before, Zhao Xu was on alert and didn't feel much.

Now he was riding alone after the rain, breathing in the fragrance of the forest. Under the green world, he was somewhat reminded of the pleasure of outing in Arthur's wilderness seven or eight years ago.

That's why he was interested in feeling the lightness of the mount when he got up.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu, as a warrior, also bought a war horse at a high price. The war horse is just like a car on earth, it is a man's face.

Zhao Xu spent a lot of money on various saddles and vests for that war horse.

Now he can summon a horse with just one spell. Although it cannot be used in battle, it also saves him a lot of care time.

Suddenly, while looking at the map to estimate how far away he was from North Carolina, Zhao Xu realized that the horse under him stopped and stopped moving forward.

He raised his head, and saw a fence spanning the entire business road dozens of meters away, and several cavalrymen in full armor pointing at him from a distance with their bows fully drawn.

More light-armored infantrymen were holding spears and staring at the passerby.

He's hit a barrier.
