When Zhao Xu walked out of the door, he found an old man waiting for him.
It's no wonder that most of the people seen in the floating city are elderly people, mainly because the strength of the mage itself is linked to the accumulation of time.
Most mages use the method of extending their lifespan, rather than rejuvenating themselves, which is costly and risky, let alone the immortal method of transforming into other races through advancement.
"Do you have any advice?" The other party's robe didn't have any circles on it. People who usually wear it like this are either apprentices or legendary mage.
Of course, there is another type that is too lazy to wear and does not need to show off one's status. This is the case for bohemian people like Lei An.
"Mr. Zhongxia, this is your prize, because you were the first to complete the assessment." The old man stood in a corner with his rickety body, his face full of the ruthless scratches of time.
But when he turned around to face Zhao Xu, his bright eyes opened, and there was an invisible aura of a superior person all over his body.
Zhao Xu, who had protected the northern lord in his previous life, almost had the illusion that the person standing opposite him was a king.
It's just that it's unrealistic to think about it. He can still barely recognize Arthur's monarch.
At this time, the old man's rugged hand handed over a similar "automatic shorthand quill".
Zhao Xu was curious: "Didn't I already take it?"
"No, Mr. Zhongxia, this one is your reward for defeating all the apprentices in the audience. The one Miss Antinoya gave you is a reward she gave you alone. There is no conflict between the two."
Zhao Xu would not refuse anything that others brought to his door. Anyway, he would definitely give it to Antinoya for testing before he dared to use it.
After Zhao Xu accepted it, he found that the old man was still standing, unmoved.
He didn't hesitate or ask any questions, and just walked along the front of the corridor.
At this time, Zhao Xu did not notice that the old man behind him had been bending slightly to show respect to him. ���
After Zhao Xu returned, he moved his luggage to the obelisk as requested by Antinoya.
This is also the tradition of the Floating City. Once a mage apprentice becomes an official mage, the dormitory has only three months to renew.
It's not that mages have nowhere to go if they don't have dormitories, it's just a way to hint to novice mages to quickly find a new home.
Zhao Xu's next home was naturally the "Final Scroll", so his dormitory was reassigned to the sixth floor of the obelisk.
Basically, the entire obelisk has been transformed into a space, so the problem of not being able to accommodate enough people has never appeared in the mage's dictionary.
Zhao Xu didn't have much luggage in the dormitory. He mainly packed some magic books that he had not brought with him on previous adventures and put them in his backpack.
While he was sorting it out, he also recalled what happened when he copied the scrolls.
He originally thought that this ability would be particularly difficult, but when he actually started writing, he found that the power of those runes automatically flowed from his mind to the scroll.
It was as if he had copied it thousands of times.
This extraordinary sense of familiarity made Zhao Xu blame it on the fact that he was already a level 1 mage, and that he had mastered the "scroll copying" specialty to have this special effect.
After all, most other novice mages first mastered the scroll scrolls and summoned familiars, and then transcribed enough spells before officially awakening as mages.
At this moment, Zhao Xu didn't know what his performance was, and he was completely shocked by those who had started learning expertise at the same pace as him.
After Zhao Xu finished moving things, he had time to take a breath.
At this time, he placed the quill that Antinoya gave him and the old man's quill side by side on the table.
They look almost exactly the same, and there are no special marks.
Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise wouldn't it mean that both of them are the products of Antinoya.
According to Antinoya's personality, she doesn't like her things to be touched by people she doesn't know.
Doesn't this mean that Antinoya has long been sure that he will be the first to successfully copy the scroll.
If this is the case, then the prophecy spell is too overbearing.
After a while, Antinoya also came to his new dormitory.
She already knew what Zhao Xu had just done, but she didn't praise Zhao Xu much. Instead, she said to him: "Let's go. Now I will take you to see why the archivist is so powerful."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately thought of it.
He will envy the profession of archivist, thinking that it is no less than a mage. This is mainly due to the archivists in the forums of previous lives and later periods.
At that time, it was no longer a secret that archival scholars existed, and many people knew that there was such a profession as a magical caster.
He is equivalent to the mirror of a mage. The similarity is that he needs to study spells and copy them into a prayer book. The intensity of the spell is determined by intelligence.
Therefore, Zhao Xuri will focus on improving archival scholars in the future. He does not have to worry so much about the problem of attribute dispersion. He will just go all out to increase intelligence.
The only difference from mages is that dossier scholars release divine spells, not arcane spells.
Spells are mainly divided into two categories, arcane spells and divine spells.
There are also some spells that are both arcane and divine, such as detect magic, so both mages and priests can cast them.
The mage armor that Zhao Xu likes to use is purely natural arcane magic and cannot be used by priests.
If the dossier was just that simple, then it wouldn't be blown to the sky by dossier whistleblowers.
Mainly in terms of professional abilities, a mage only has a copy scroll and a summoning familiar at level 1. After that, he can only obtain a metamagic feat every five levels.
Among the archival scholars from levels 1 to 20, only two levels are free without improved abilities, and the rest are occupied by various improved abilities.
As for the abilities of dossier scholars, the forum is very mysterious and does not reveal much.
But everyone yearns for it.
At this time, Zhao Xu and Antinoya sat in the automatic elevator of the obelisk, sitting on the alchemy device driven by magic, going down.
Antinoya can recover infinitely with her potential points. Basically, she will choose to teleport if the distance is more than 300 meters.
If it was 20 meters away, it would flicker past. Zhao Xu now knew that the other party used the long-lasting ninth-level spell "Advanced Dimension Jump" to flicker past.
Rather than the arbitrary spell he thought at first.
However, except for the top of the obelisk, other parts of the obelisk blocked teleportation. So Antinoya could only walk with Zhao Xu honestly.
"Teacher, are you going to practice 'dark knowledge'?" Zhao Xu asked.
Although the ability of the scroll scholar in the previous life is very mysterious, someone still revealed the first ability, dark knowledge (combat). It is said that it has a bonus to the attack power when facing monsters, making them warriors want to make a scroll teammate.
"The professional abilities of the dossier scholar are meaningless. They are only level 11 terrifying secrets that can shock the opponent but can barely defeat him." Antinoya answered Zhao Xu's pediatric questions as always.
Zhao Xu understood it now.
The files on the past life forum were blown from the wrong angle.
That doesn’t mean he has strong professional abilities, but he doesn’t necessarily have strong spells, right
It's just that priests not only have the same magical skills, but they are also given by gods for free.
The mage spends money to copy spells, and the dossier also costs money to copy spells.
If Zhao Xu hadn't been able to hug Antinoya's thigh, otherwise he would have to work as a waiter in the floating city to earn the cost of consumables for transcribing spells.
However, Antinoya took Zhao Xu out on the second floor, pulled him around a few corners, and walked to the end of the corridor.
Zhao Xu looked at the dead end and wondered if there was a secret door.
However, Antinoya recited a spell directly, as fast as humming.
A message that "spell identification" failed flashed across Zhao Xu's panel instantly.
He knew that Antinoya cast the spell instantly, but he didn't know what it was.
"Let's go." Antinoya said.
Zhao Xu looked around and didn't see any secret door opened by Antinoya.
Immediately afterwards, Antinoya pulled Zhao Xu's sleeve and led him towards the wall in front.
Just when they were about to collide, the entire wall seemed to be a false illusion, not hindering the two of them at all.
After a slight dizziness, Zhao Xu found that he appeared in a closed room with no doors or windows at all, just like a box.
If there were no lights on the ceiling, he might have a psychological shadow.
"It was the seventh-level spell 'Phase Gate' that can open the spiritual body passage and let us pass through the wall to get here." Antinoya said.
Only then did Zhao Xu understand why this room had no doors or windows.
In the case of shielding teleportation, the mage's phase door spell is a one-time key to enter here.
It's just a bit luxurious.
At this time, Zhao Xu also began to observe the things in the room. There were 12 identical classical mirrors, standing on the 12-hour scale like clocks.
Most of the mirrors are one meter high and one meter wide, and they are all covered with a dark curtain.
"What is this?" When Zhao Xu chose the third method, he had seen this kind of mirror in the collection poured out by Antinoya, but it was too big, otherwise he would definitely be interested in that mirror.
"This is the clone mirror of our mortal enemy."
"If you open that curtain and look at the mirror, it will summon a clone that is the same as you, with the same equipment, abilities and spells as the original one, and then it will attack you desperately."
"Are you kidding me?" Zhao Xu's already tempered Gujing Bubo mentality also began to be surprised.
Come on, a legendary mage. Is it possible to really summon a legendary mage
"This kind of mirror was made by the Arcane King Ernest. It is said that it was made using the principle of cloning, but the method and craftsmanship have long been lost. Most of the rest of the floating city are placed here. There is a way to crack this kind of mirror method, but it is indeed too dangerous, so just put it here for recycling." Antinoya explained.
Zhao Xu looked at these twelve mirrors, which were scarier than horror movies.
Antinoya will definitely deal with the ghosts when they come out.
But if a clone of Antinoya comes out, she should be able to defeat him, but he himself won't be able to survive the aftermath of the spell.
"Then what are we going to do?"
"One of the mirrors comes from the passage, just find it."
"Where does it lead?" Zhao Xu looked back at Antinoya.
"The original scroll."
It took a long time to revise the details of today's chapter. Chapter 4 will be updated at no later than 12 o'clock tonight. I'll take a look at it tomorrow morning.
I checked the calendar. I may have something to update tomorrow, but I will only update two chapters worth 7k. I will tell you then.
As for the three days of Qingming Festival, there will be nothing, so basically three updates per day.
