The Truth of Magic

Chapter 122: The leftover people

Views:

After hearing what Master Nuoqi said, the entire spacious pulpit hall suddenly became uproar.

Even though Master Nuoqi is a nine-ring mage who has reached the legendary unfathomable level of heavenly power, his reputation is still difficult to suppress the countless novice mages who squeeze in just to show their face.

Generally speaking, at least half of the lectures given by legendary mages are invitation-only closed-door lectures.

Even some high-level lectures are difficult for most novice mages to access, and only mentor-level mages will receive the news.

Master Nuoqi’s lecture on transfiguration was so enthusiastic this time because the lecture was open to participation and only tickets were required.

For the novice mages in the floating city, such open lectures for senior mages may not be available several times a month.

This is the benefit that novice mages can really see and touch.

Only by performing in this kind of lecture can they gain the greatest value, because they not only performed to the mage who gave the lecture, but also had a group of senior mages sitting below to listen.

The Floating City has never been short of legends about someone who became a blockbuster in a lecture and was later accepted as an assistant or even a disciple by a mentor.

So since the lecture appeared on the dormitory bulletin board last night, many novice mages from the kingdom's nobles have begun to secretly try to get this ticket.

This is also the reason why very few players were seen in this lecture. Most of the tickets were swallowed up by the underground network from the beginning.

Only a few players who are liked by their mentor can obtain this ticket directly from their mentor.

What Zhao Xu had previously received were the tickets given to him by Antinoya, and even the lecture schedule in his hand was the complete schedule of lectures in the entire floating city.

Even the share from the Floating City Affairs Office may not be his.

So much so that he had the illusion that the floating city's affairs office would distribute tickets for free.

This gap made him unable to understand why everyone was so excited.

Isn't it just this lecture

However, even the several newbie mages with noble backgrounds did not dare to say anything at this time.

No one has the courage to insult a nine-ring mage in front of him.

Basically, those who did not have 17 points of intelligence could only sadly pick up the materials that they had stayed up all night to prepare, and left the entire forum hall one by one.

Tickets that cost a huge amount of money to exchange for are invalidated just because of a word from Master Jiuhuan. This is the truth of the Floating City that has not changed for thousands of years.

At this moment, Zhao Xu touched his head.

His panel has 17 attributes, but unfortunately they are virtual.

The real implementation of these intelligences will have to wait 11 months, when the human race will perish.

Zhao Xu was about to lift his buttocks, but hesitated.

That day, after he transformed into the Divine Attendant of Blazing Sky, he killed the cavalrymen who participated in the killing of prisoners, as well as Tucker and his entourage one by one.

It stems more from his anger at his own powerlessness.

According to Antinoya's wishes, he can explore and wander. Anyway, he has the trump card of "body change". If it doesn't work, he can just slap his butt and run away.

The real power of "Shape Change" is that it can transform into other creatures every round. Arthur's tens of thousands of different creatures are the biggest back-up of this spell.

Zhao Xu, who only possesses a spell, is not a nine-ring mage after all.

He couldn't even stop the opponent from attacking, because even if he transformed, he couldn't stop the opponent's butcher knife immediately.

So this time after Zhao Xu returned to the Floating City, he was determined to become a powerful mage.

The warrior style of invincible posture and harvesting life when he transformed into the Blazing God's Attendant was the final break between Zhao Xu and the warrior soul of his previous life.

That's why he was so determined to use candles instead of the more expensive "body change" spell, just to turn into a killing machine on the battlefield like in his previous life.

When the transformation of the God of Blazing Heaven ended, it was also the death of the former warrior Zhao Xu.

The new life of mage Zhao Xu.

After thinking about this, Zhao Xu sat down again.

Even if he wants to become a combat-oriented battle mage, that means that his spells must cover a wide range of areas, have different means of dealing with them sequentially, prepare his own dynamic and static defense, and have various spells to attack and control the enemy.

Sufficient academic training in magic is still a condition he must meet.

"Is there something wrong with your little brother's intelligence?" Lin Qi on the side quickly noticed something was wrong with Zhao Xu and asked in a low voice.

No matter how Zhao Xu heard it, he thought it was a curse word, but he had to endure it and replied: "No, the stool is just hard."

The fat man looked at the cushioned chair behind Zhao Xu in surprise. He had sat on it before. The top layer was made of goose down cotton, which was most suitable for his body type. How could it be hard

Thinking of this, he looked back at his hardwood folding chair and suddenly felt a little pain in his butt.

At this time, nearly a third of the people in the hall had left, which was somewhat beyond Zhao Xu's expectation.

He didn't expect that there were so many people with 17 or 18 intelligence points.

You must know that looking at the data, it seems that an increase of 1 point is 1 point of attribute, which increases linearly, but in fact the effect is exponential.

In the strength attribute, every 5-point increase can roughly double the load.

Therefore, the intelligence of 17 and 18 is completely at the peak of human beings who have not upgraded and grown up.

"Little brother, it's not surprising. Mystra has gathered the smartest mages in Arthur. Their average quality must be very high. And the tuition fees for further studies here are not a small burden for the noble family, so I can come here They are definitely the ones with the most outstanding talents.”

Master Lin Qi appeared at the right moment and gave Zhao Xu some answers.

He thought he was extremely smart back then, but he was also hit by the cruel reality. Who could have expected that the most important thing Mystra lacked was genius.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded and expressed his gratitude to Lin Qi, the fat man in his eyes. He felt that this greasy fat man was no longer so annoying.

Master Nuoqi, who was standing on the stage, nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, the number of people left was not beyond his expectation. Coming from a powerless family, he knew that the new mages who could squeeze in here would not be that bad in terms of their family background.

Even if it is the "Intellectual Headband" that the mage group dreams of, which can increase the intelligence attribute, many people present are wearing it.

With 15 points of natural intelligence attributes, as long as it is paired with a "+2" intelligence turban, it can fully meet his requirements.

However, Master Nuoqi sneered, which made all the novice mages listening to the lecture feel chilled.

Intelligence headscarves can be passed down from generation to generation, but the same cannot be said for spell talents.

"All the mages who have never used the 'Core Four Transformations' spell should also go out. This course has nothing to do with you."

Master Nuoqi put his hands behind his back and looked at the audience waiting for the lecture to begin.

Even though the number of people was reduced at this time, the audience sitting there made a louder noise.

The novice mages who were left behind were still proud of their intelligence and lacked some competitors. They were all shocked when they heard this.

The core four transformations respectively refer to the second-level transformation technique, the fourth-level transformation technique, the eighth-level transformation technique of all things, and the ninth-level body transformation technique.

Such a sentence means that all novice mages at level 1 and 2 will be kicked out.

"That's unreasonable." At this time, a mage sitting not far behind Zhao Xu stood up and walked outside angrily.

Zhao Xu noticed that the other party was wearing the robe of a four-ring mage.

He also didn't expect that this level 7 mage didn't master the core four transformations.

It's understandable that the opponent hasn't mastered the fourth-level "Transformation Technique" yet, but he hasn't mastered the second-level "Transformation Technique" yet

The transformation spell can transform into the same kind of creature of the same size. For example, Zhao Xu can use this spell to turn into an elf. There are also various imaginative uses, so the "transformation spell" is definitely a popular spell.

Now that the Transfiguration spell can transform into more types, and HD (Hit Dice) restrictions are less, this is close to the traditional concept of transformation.

Zhao Xu secretly thought that there must be some levels of transformation spell that he didn't know about.

"Hey, I just came to this lecture to learn powerful transformations." Fatty Lynch said with regret for the intermediate mages who were leaving.

Intermediate mages who can cast fourth-level to sixth-level spells are already the backbone of Arthur. The senior mages above the seventh level that Zhao Xu frequently comes into contact with are just small heads.

The number of people in the entire hall suddenly changed from two-thirds to less than a quarter, and only a few senior mages could continue to sit there calmly, ignoring Noqi's next conditions. Anyway, they would definitely be satisfied.

But Zhao Xu found that the fat man Lin Qi was also putting away the bench, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why do you want to leave? You can't do it either?"

On the contrary, the fat man Lin Qi looked at the unmoved Zhao Xu with a look of surprise.

He lowered his voice: "I'm the one asking you, why aren't you leaving?"

"You didn't notice that those intermediate mages didn't dare to hide anything, and they left obediently without mastering the second-level transformation technique. If you insist on staying after letting you go, that's a provocation to the nine-ring senior mages."

Fatty Lynch couldn't help showing a hint of fear as he spoke.

"I advise you to leave quickly. The one-ring mage's standard robe you are wearing is too conspicuous. Even if you have shining mithril, it will be useless. Master Noqi will not be able to rub it in his eyes."

Fatty Lin Qi impatiently persuaded Zhao Xu, secretly thinking that the other party should realize his interest and leave immediately.

But Zhao Xu continued to remain unmoved.

Fatty Lin Qi waited for a while, but did not see Zhao Xu stand up and give up his seat, so he could only open his bench again and sit down in embarrassment.

"Huh? Aren't you leaving?"

Zhao Xu's words felt like a knife piercing his heart.

"Oh, I forgot that I just mastered the fourth level of 'Transformation' at noon. There's nothing I can do about it. As people get older, their memory declines."

Fatty Lynch gritted his teeth and said angrily.

At this time, seeing that only a quarter of the people present were left, Master Nuoqi nodded with satisfaction.

After two more rounds of sieving, one-tenth is almost enough.

He thought with disdain, is transformation even something that these weak mages with their brains stuffed with dirt can master

However, originally his eyes were wandering around the back row, but when he finally looked back, he found a man wearing a first-level robe sitting in the corner of the first row.

"That first-level mage in the corner, which spell in the core four transformations have you used?"

There were too many typos in the previous chapter, so I apologize tomorrow.
