"Mr. Mages, don't worry. Just now, the energy output power was suddenly adjusted and fluctuated significantly, which accidentally affected this place. Even if those barriers disappear, those lemures will not be able to get out."

An instructor in charge of the Lemur Testing Hall was pulled over by several mages and explained to them.

Originally, the entire combat test hall had sufficient reserve margin in terms of energy supply, but when the 14th floor was opened, the energy consumed by the first floor was too small, and it was still fluctuated.

Just like a lonely boat on the sea, even a slight fluctuation in the sea level is enough to make the lonely boat rock.

"Then you have to send someone here to watch." A novice player, the mage, complained.

"I'm really sorry about this. We just handed over so we were negligent." At this time, the usher came over, picked up the panel hanging on the wall, and re-registered the data.

one two three four…

Suddenly, when the conductor counted to eight, his voice suddenly stopped.

He looked at the novice mages and complained: "Isn't it written on the wall that you can't focus fire?"

The novice mages looked at each other, not understanding what the other party was saying.

"Each of your light crossbows has lemures with corresponding numbers. You must shoot the corresponding lemures. Don't accidentally shoot others and cause them to be killed by concentrated fire. You must know that it is also very laborious for us to restart the summoning of lemures. , I specially added 8 points of quick healing to these lemures, but I’m just too lazy to keep summoning them repeatedly.”

The instructor looked at the several novice mages and educated them.

"No, we haven't touched that light crossbow at all, let alone focusing the fire." A novice mage complained.

At this time, another novice mage suddenly remembered and quickly explained: "I just saw someone else here. He may have killed him. And you didn't say you can't kill these evil spirits."

"Oh, these lemures with 9 HP that have been modified to be immune to heavy hits can be killed by the light crossbow in your hand with a maximum damage of only 8 HP? Those logisticians are the same, and they keep shouting that they only have 1 HP left. I came to tease you, and then my health was instantly full, and now I’m fine.”

The test facilitator retorted while looking at the field, and suddenly his pupils shrank.

The sign on the ninth dead lemure on the field was in a remote corner, and there was also half a broken arrow on it. ���

After Zhao Xu came out of the tactical testing hall, he was still immersed in the power of the combined power of knowledge, piety and dark knowledge (tactics).

The power of knowledge and piety is determined by the result of his knowledge check.

If his knowledge test is only 15, it is the lowest level 1 insight improvement.

The test results are level 2 at 16-25, level 3 at 26-30, and then there are level 5 rewards at 36+.

But when he was able to detect this kind of result, those several levels of rewards no longer meant much to him.

But in the early stages, it was indeed a strong advantage for him.

Even if you use a higher-level spell, it may not have such a long-lasting effect.

The dark knowledge test results are three thresholds, with difficulty levels of 15, 25, and 35 respectively. If the knowledge test results exceed the threshold, you can get one to three levels of improvement in turn.

When one day, Zhao Xu's corresponding knowledge and skill test result is 36 points, he will be able to get a full 8-level improvement!

Level 5 comes from knowledge piety, level 3 comes from dark knowledge.

You must know that Zhao Xu was a level 5 warrior in his previous life, and his basic attack was only level 5. Adding in the level 4 he adjusted with his own strength, his attack power was in the early 9th level.

Compared with this 8-level improvement, it does feel like feeding a dog.

But the premise is that Zhao Xu can really make a 36-point knowledge test.

Now he is only at level 2, and the highest knowledge and skill level is only level 5. Adding 3 points of intelligence adjustment, the skill level is only 8 points.

Even if he can add 1-20 points of bonus from the source of knowledge when checking knowledge skills, the maximum is only 28 points, which is only a 5-level power increase.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu stopped on the road.

He remembered that a few days ago, when he was copying spells from the dossier, there seemed to be a spell that could increase the power of his skill check

Zhao Xu immediately began to search for his inner magic.

"Improvisation" among the spells unique to first-level bards can give a luck bonus of 1 point to skills and even attacks.

The "skill enhancement" of a first-level mage's extended spell can provide him with a 4-point skill environment bonus. The same first-level spell "Song of Knowledge" can provide a 5-point skill performance bonus.

Moreover, the bonuses provided by these three spells are all linked to the caster's level.

At the same time, luck, performance, and environment are all different sources that can be superimposed.

Luck comes from the aspect of luck.

Performance can improve his performance this time.

The environment is the assistance given to him by the surroundings. For example, if you use auxiliary tools, you can get environmental bonus improvements.

Even if Zhao Xu only uses the magician's extended spell skill enhancement and the song of knowledge, he can stack one of his knowledge skills to the point where there is a possibility of a 36-point test.

Only then did Zhao Xu take a deep breath.

He began to understand that when he obtained the full spell table, others could only achieve 1-2 abilities, but he could achieve multiple abilities, thus stacking up to a terrible result.

Even if he connects to the source of knowledge and the result of the D20 (1-20) test is not good, he can use the bard's unique first-level spell "Instant Cooperation" to test again.

This is probably the most superficial manifestation of the legend that a spell caster can reverse fate.

Zhao Xu was also deeply wary of himself, and immediately worked together to use a quick action spell, which he might have to prepare at all times.

At that time, more than 300 spells hit him densely. For the next few days, he was busy awakening the ability of the dossier scholar and forgot to sort them out again.

He had forgotten about it in the testing hall just now.

Although the caster level that determines the effect of his spells is very low, and the superimposed iron stone is only level 2 of the wizard's 3rd level file, the bonuses and duration of these spells are very short.

But when he reaches a higher level in the future, he can even use it with spell persistence to turn these spells into permanent spells that last for 24 hours and only use them when necessary.

Then he is really a little invincible.

Until Zhao Xu returned to the obelisk, he was still ranking the first-level spells in his mind and analyzing their respective uses.

Compared with other mages who have to study for a long time and even read a thick background description of a spell to learn a spell, Zhao Xu's average learning time for each spell is less than 1 minute.

He could barely remember the names of many spells, thanks to the fact that he could project the descriptions of those spells in his mind at any time.

This is also the reason why Arthur's wizards are familiar with the various uses of spells. They have experienced hardships since they learned spells.

It is enough for them to write a paper specifically on the usage of a few spells after they have mastered them.

So, such as summoning an invisible servant to carry a bag of soil to explore roads and mines, and using the giant transformation technique to get enemies stuck in narrow passages, these are just the most basic operations.

When Zhao Xu went upstairs, he found that Antinoya had come back and was sitting there, reading a book as usual.

It seemed that besides reading books, she had nothing to do in her life.

"Teacher." Zhao Xu greeted Antinoya.

"How was the test?" Antinoya asked.

"Ah? Tutor, how did you know that I went for the test?"

Zhao Xu didn't expect that Antinoya even knew that he went to the garbage dump and tore a test paper.

Antinoya didn't say much about this, she just kept smiling under her hood.

"By the way, mentor, why do the bard's spells and the dossier scholars also have magical versions?"

Zhao Xu thought of the bard spells on his list. Many of them were arcane spells unique to bards that even wizards and warlocks couldn't master.

"It seems that you have noticed those skills and spells?" Antinoya said simply, "Some of them are derived from the transformation of the divine poet. In fact, through the domain, we have replaced all arcane spells with divine spells. It’s a skill. You don’t have to worry too much, just use it.”

Although Zhao Xu didn't quite understand what Antinoya said, it didn't stop him from nodding.

If there are eggs, he can just eat them, and he doesn't have to worry about how the hens hatch them.

"Teacher, how many spells do you have on your body?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be curious at this time.

After he realized how powerful those spells were today, he had already begun to plan a list of spells that he would need to carry on his body at all times in the future.

And how many spells will Antinoya, who has the ability to endure spells and has a sky-high caster level, filter out

At this time, Antinoya suddenly raised his hands and stared at the ten fingers on them, as if counting them.

Just when Zhao Xu was about to ask, Antinoya replied in one breath: "Seventy or eighty? It should be less than a hundred."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu almost wanted to ask Antinoya again.

Just looking at the other party who was continuing to read a book, the answer was self-evident.

A level 20 spell with 30 intelligence has only 57 spell slots from level one to level nine.

Only then did Zhao Xu understand that Antinoya, who had potential point recovery spell slots, actually burned spells like this.

It can only be said that there are two types of mages in this world, those with potential points and those without potential points.

"By the way, you can go to a technical training later." Suddenly Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu had heard of "techniques", but in his mind, it seemed to be quite far away from him.

"Didn't you expose Ryan's spell in the mine last time? You thought that the other party was able to dissociate your teammates even though they didn't cast any spells. That's why you thought your dead teammates were illusions."

Zhao Xu nodded.

"Don't make such embarrassing guesses next time, otherwise others will laugh at your lack of knowledge."

"The ability to conceal spellcasting allows you to conceal your spellcasting actions, so that others cannot recognize that you are casting a spell, let alone counter your spell."

"You can learn this ability later."
