The Truth of Magic

Chapter 133: One Arrow (3/3)

Views:

Zhao Xu was walking in the smooth passage and realized that he could reach every floor directly from here.

Looking at the alchemy elevator that pointed to the tenth level of the legendary level, Zhao Xu smiled. One day he would come here, but not now.

He turned around and pushed open the door leading to the first floor, ushering in the door opening for the first time after many years of maintenance and installation.

After Zhao Xu entered the testing site on the first floor, he found that the entire first floor was divided into many areas, which were basically set up according to the current mainstream spells of mages.

For example, if you want to practice acid splashing and freezing rays, there is a remote target room where you can practice. The key points for using various spells are also specially described at the door.

There are infinite secret rooms with multiple hidden secret doors used to practice the "Secret Door Detection" spell.

There is a plunge room with a high platform and a safety cushion placed underneath for practicing the "feather fall technique".

Compared to that night, when a large group of novice mages were messing around in the underground square throwing spells and discerning spells, it was indeed much more orderly.

Zhao Xu walked all the way and couldn't help but nodded, secretly sighing that the floating city was indeed willing to spend money on this aspect.

However, the goal of Zhao Xu's trip was indeed the battle target room.

Archivists master all the magical arts of the four major professions: priest, druid, ranger, and paladin.

The priest's magic itself is the ability to strengthen teammates with various buffs.

Even when a priest decides to fight on his own, as long as he buffs himself, he will be able to fight better than a warrior.

The reputation of War Priest has always frightened Arthur's warriors.

As for the lack of war priests, it is not useless, but the priest's treatment is of greater significance.

Rangers and paladins, on the other hand, have many magical spells that can strengthen themselves and improve their abilities in both distance and close combat.

This is why Antinoya told him that the only person who can deal with melee damage better than a priest is a dossier scholar.

There is a reason why dossier scholars can thrive in that terrifying and strange world.

Zhao Xu specially carried out today's exercise. In addition to practicing the magical skills of the archives, he also tried to test his far and near combat output ability after buffing himself.

Facing some creatures with high magic resistance, even if the mage has the corresponding spells to target them, he will still have a headache.

Therefore, Zhao Xu needs to practice his own physical output ability. Even if he doesn't use it, he still has to have it.

When Zhao Xu entered a battle room, there were already several novice mages there. They all looked carefully at the underground field four to five meters deep, where there were several skeleton warriors wandering blindly.

Zhao Xu roughly understood it after reading the introduction on the wall.

That day, Antinoya used the spell to summon undead creatures, and the skeleton he summoned followed the rules of the spell.

As a specially set up place here, most of these skeleton warriors have been specially modified, and they are more powerful with the negative energy field in the ground.

Their health points are much higher than ordinary skeletons.

The skeletons glowing red in the field are the lowest-level skeletons with only 10 HP.

The ones with blue light are more advanced, with at least 20HP.

As a quantifiable data, health points have a profound impact on the world of Arthur all the time. Only after the character card system appeared did everyone better accept this concept.

There are a handful of light crossbows placed on the fenced tables of the venue, and there are boxes of crossbow arrows next to them for these novice mages to train their shooting abilities.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, picked up one of the light crossbows, and immediately aimed at a red-light skeleton warrior on the field.

With a "click", after being dragged by the trigger, the spring directly hit the locked crossbow arrow. The arrow turned in a spiral arc and shot straight towards the nearest skeleton warrior.

"Bang." A muffled sound came from the ground. This crossbow arrow was discovered by the skeleton he was trying to attack secretly. The opponent directly blocked Zhao Xu's attack with a large iron shield.

"Some of these skeletons are equipped with deflection protection. Not to mention that there is no iron shield to block it. Even if you succeed in a sneak attack, the deflection defense on the opponent's body will probably bounce your attack away."

At this time, a female mage came over and explained to Zhao Xu.

The floating city usually has a lot of manpower needs, and most of them, like the guides of these combat power testing halls, need people with certain spell experience.

Therefore, after the player Qiqi started recruiting in the floating city, she decisively applied for this profession.

According to her prediction, if she works for a few more days, she will be able to save enough contributions to copy one more first-level spell.

Zhao Xu had cast a protection spell on himself before, so he naturally knew the role of the deflection bonus. This ability was equivalent to a deflection force appearing throughout the body, which could deflect attacks.

Once a mage stacks his defense deflection bonus very high, he will find that no matter how he shoots arrows at the opponent, the arrows will be pulled apart by a huge gravitational force just when they are close to the opponent.

"This junior fellow student, if you haven't learned the first-level spell 'Defeat the enemy first', then it is basically impossible for you to shoot through the defenses of these skeletons." Qiqi explained to Zhao Xu, looking at the other party and couldn't help but feel Showing regret.

The styles of the earth players were all very obvious, and she recognized them at a glance. However, she was the guide at this time and could not say anything on the spot. She could only follow the requirements of the floating city.

There was also a player just now, because the training rooms corresponding to memory spells were too busy, so he had to run to this training room with relatively few people, but found that he could not shoot through these strengthened skeleton warriors, and he could only be disappointed. And back.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll give it a try." Zhao Xu continued to hold his hand crossbow.

In fact, it doesn't matter that he didn't prepare this spell. Anyway, he has the Strange Seer specialty and can use the three vacant spell slots in the mage profession to cast it.

At this time, the instructor Qiqi saw that Zhao Xu had nothing to say, so she turned around and drove off to provide guidance to other novice mages, and also taught them the strengths and weaknesses of the skeleton warriors.

Zhao Xu, who was standing in the shadow corner, reviewed the spell list in his mind and directly released the ioun stone in his pocket.

In this way, the spells cast by his level 1 archivist can achieve the effects of a level 2 spell caster.

Looking at the skeleton warriors on the field, Zhao Xu directly chanted the incantation of the "Holy Sacrifice", a unique divine skill of the first level paladin.

A paladin must be at level 4 before he can cast a first-level spell. If he doesn't have enough perception and doesn't have extra spell slots, he has to wait until level 6 to get the first level-1 spell slot.

Therefore, these paladins must be level 4-6 before they can cast first-level divine spells, which are extremely powerful in themselves, far exceeding the ordinary first-level spells of wizards and priests.

Holy Sacrifice is a spell that exchanges blood for output.

By consuming his own 10 HP, Zhao Xu can have an attack in each round with powerful power in the next two rounds, up to 5D6 (5-30) damage.

At this time, the crossbow arrow damage, which only has 1D8 (1-8) damage, seems like an added bonus.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu released a "defeat the enemy" spell on himself. This spell allowed him to gain powerful insight and spy on the opponent's weaknesses to penetrate the defense.

After applying two spells to his body, Zhao Xu raised the light crossbow again.

At this time, Qiqi had just finished explaining to a few people, and planned to come over and explain to Zhao Xu the secret of using the light crossbow.

She has practiced bows and arrows on earth, and she is one of the few players who does not need to train light crossbows. This is why she can be placed in this small room.

But when she noticed that the crossbow arrow in Zhao Xu's hand was completely aimed at the 20 HP skeleton with blue light, she couldn't help but laugh.

This junior is indeed so cute that he is actually afraid of killing the skeleton with one blow.

The reason why the skeleton is placed below is because there is a negative energy field under the skeleton's feet. These abilities that can cause injuries to ordinary people when close to the skeleton are healing for the skeleton.

Normally, even if the damage of a crossbow arrow hits these skeletons, it is not enough to kill the opponent. Then within one round, these skeletons will immediately return to life and remain intact.

A few angry novice mages had just attacked these skeletons with magic missiles, but they all failed because the damage was not enough.

Unless he can be killed in one round, what the opponent will see in the next round is the skeleton warrior who has returned to his original state.

Qiqi hurriedly walked forward. She wanted to tell Zhao Xu that he didn't need to pick the skeleton with the thicker health and the blue light to attack.

Those are actually specially set up for everyone to practice focusing fire.

But at this time, the crossbow arrow in Zhao Xu's hand had already been fired.

Qiqi's attention also followed the crossbow arrow. She just watched the crossbow arrow just brush the edge of the iron shield, and at a weird angle, she saw it penetrate the head of the skeleton warrior.

Then the whole skeleton shook in place.

Qiqi was about to turn around and look at the shocked expression of the junior student, but then she was surprised first.

The blue-glowing skeleton immediately turned into ashes after being hit by the arrow.

After a while, Qiqi came to her senses.

Her mind was filled with questions about how it was possible!

That's a full 20 HP. If a level 2 warrior doesn't have enough physical fitness, he may not be able to have 20 HP.

With this amount of HP, he was instantly killed by a simple crossbow arrow from a level 1 mage.

Who would believe it

A level 1 mage with this ability is simply the killer of current players. He can kill anyone in seconds.

Qiqi blinked her eyes violently, thinking that she was out of energy and in a daze, but the number did not deceive, and she was really not wrong.

The skeleton was indeed gone.

Qiqi immediately turned around to ask the junior how he did it.

However, there was no one in the originally dark corner, and there was only a light crossbow still warm on the table.

At this time, Qiqi couldn't help but look at her work manual in distress.

What reason did she have to fill in to describe why the skeleton was killed? ���

Floating City, the highest palace.

As the core of the floating city, this place is observing the entire floating movement all the time.

Each monitoring personnel looking at the projection panel in front of them has an "alchemy sound tube" placed in front of them. Only their sound tube can connect to all directions in the floating city.

"What's going on? Why are there huge energy fluctuations inside the floating city? There are obviously no large-scale experiment report applications today?" a monitor complained.

"Hurry up and position yourself." The person in charge sitting at the end said.

"It's confirmed, it's a combat power testing hall."

"Call over and ask."

The person in charge commanded while sipping black tea.

Compared with various communication spells such as text messaging, these alchemical microphones are very expensive to build and maintain, but they are very efficient. At least they can allow ordinary people who cannot use spells to maintain communication.

At this time, a surveillance officer also picked up the microphone and dialed it to the combat power testing hall.

"What? Temporarily activate the 13th floor? Who allowed you to do this? Have you submitted the application?" the monitoring officer immediately asked.

After a while, his expression changed, and he said politely: "Okay, okay, I will convey it to you. If you need cooperation, please call here directly. I will contact the energy control room to strengthen the energy transmission of the combat power test hall. power."

At this time, the person in charge had already heard the whole story from a few words. He put the tea cup in his hand and asked, "Which adult is there?"

The only ones who can allow him to be called an adult are the Seven Giants.

"It's Miss Antinoya." The surveillance officer lowered his head and replied.

After hearing this name, the person in charge couldn't help but look frozen.

Antinoya never needs to go to the combat strength testing hall because her facilities there are already more advanced.

Could it be that she is somewhat related to the old man Li Stan

But he reviewed Li Stan's life and found that he had nothing to do with the Ittel family.

If it were true, he would not be on the replacement list for this issue.

Thinking of this, he decided that he still had to tell his in-laws that Li Stan's position could not be easily touched for the time being. ���

Combat strength testing hall.

After Li Stan put down the microphone in his hand, he continued to direct the Nine Rings Mage, asking him to operate the instruments and adjust the output power of the equipment room to the maximum.

His angry shouting just now was the first time in his life that he acted most brazenly against the highest palace in the core department of the floating city.

All the subordinates present who knew the source of the questioning through the microphone were all trembling with fear.

The only thing that made Li Stan a little confused was.

Why doesn’t Miss Antinoya come
