"Are you okay?" Female mage Lu glanced around and asked Zhao Xu with concern.
It's just that there is still a dark and reddish silent forest in front of her, and nothing strange appears anymore.
The female mage Ying squatted down, holding the fishing line caught by Zhao Xu between the two tree stumps, and then followed the direction of the arrow to look at the top of a towering cypress tree not far away.
She shook her head and said, "It's just a simple trap. If there is no poison or critical hit, the damage of no more than 6 HP will not kill a mage with a constitution of 14 like him."
Zhao Xu had forgotten the faint pain in his chest at this time, and asked strangely: "You can also see that I have a 14-year-old constitution?"
The female mage Ying sneered: "I also know that you only have 8 strength. If you observe people with different attributes, it will be easy to guess it after you build a model based on their measurements."
At this time, the female mage Lu observed for a long time, and after confirming that there was no follow-up attack, she also squatted down, looked at Zhao Xu and said, "It's just a simple bow and arrow trap."
She looked at Zhao Xu's wound and said, "I have medical skills. Let me check it for you first to avoid any real toxicity."
Zhao Xu just shook his head slightly at the female mage's kindness.
After such an arrow, he already understood.
This was the warning Leian gave him.
All plots are no longer as planned at the beginning.
Although Zhao Xu didn't know why this change occurred, it meant that he would treat everything in front of him as a fatal adventure.
"How much damage is it?" Female mage Lu asked as she picked up the arrow that injured Zhao Xu.
"6hp." Zhao Xu simply answered.
After hearing Zhao Xu's answer, the female mages Ying and Lu fell silent.
"What do you mean? Shadow shaping, shadow spells, etc.?" After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu finally realized the reason for the silence between the two women.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This is really troublesome.
There are eight major factions of mages, and some spellcasters will choose to specialize in one of the factions to gain greater advantages in the corresponding faction. Many players who want to take advantage of one more spell slot will also choose this route.
However, the price of this is that you need to oppose the spells of one or two factions.
Once someone opposes the two factions of Evocation or Conjuration, it means that they cannot cast the spells of these two factions again.
But nothing is absolute. Mages can also use the shadow evocation and shadow spells in the illusion department to simulate the spells of these two factions.
It's just that the degree of realism is limited. For example, the simulated fireball of the evocation system only does part of the damage.
This is authenticity.
Just now, Zhao Xu was hit by a bow and arrow from a bow trap, and 6 HP happened to be the upper limit of damage.
If this is really an illusion, it is also a 100% real illusion.
It is no different from reality. It is completely meaningless to worry about whether it is the eighth level or whether it is teleported.
They were on an adventure.
"I'm afraid we have to cheer up now. Even if this is an illusion, people will still die." Female mage Ying said calmly.
Female mage Lu Ze glanced at Zhao Xu with concern, "Do you still have the resurrection stone?"
Zhao Xu nodded, five pills full.
It's just that he can't give up on the mission without it.
"Since we are all level 2 mages, let's talk about our respective trump cards and see how we can cooperate?" Lu suggested after getting Zhao Xu's reply.
"No, just use whatever method you want. Anyway, no one knows anyone when you go out with a hood, so don't ask about the method." The female mage Ying Ze flatly refused.
"That's okay." Female mage Lu said with a smile after seeing Ying's retort.
"I don't have any objection to that." Looking at this scene, Zhao Xu felt that it was really difficult to hide it.
In the future, when he becomes more advanced and has more methods, he won't have to worry about others guessing.
But now that all level 2 mages have very limited means, if they use them casually, it will just show on their faces.
Zhao Xu didn't think much after standing up. He took out the ioun stone that he had hidden before walking to the bonfire and let it float behind his head.
He then used the priest spell slot to cast "Cure Minor Injuries" on himself.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's overall condition recovered a lot, and his error tolerance rate in the face of danger was much higher.
The two women watched silently as he, as a mage, used healing magic that only priests and other professions could do, and they abided by their agreement and did not interfere.
The female mage Ying took out an ioun stone like Zhao Xu and released it on the spot.
After the iron stone floated around, she took out a scroll from her arms and started casting spells.
When she finished chanting the spell, a line of smoke emerged from the scroll, and then the arcane words painted on the scroll faintly disappeared.
Slowly, the smoke began to condense into a human shape and then disappeared.
"I have released the 'Invisible Servant' spell, which can replace us in exploring the path ahead. Do you have bags and shovels?" asked the female mage Ying.
Zhao Xu glanced at the ioun stone with caster level +1 above the opponent's head, and curled his lips slightly. He had never seen it in his previous life, but today he met twin brothers.
Zhao Xu immediately took out the tools requested by the other party from his backpack.
In a corner of the Forest of Whispers, the three wizards with the highest level among the Arthur players were squatting on the ground holding a shovel, opening the mouth of the sack, and pouring soil into it.
Like three children playing in the mud.
Invisible servants are good helpers for spells, even in academic forums.
Although they are invisible and have no mind after being summoned, only the caster can feel them. But they can still repeat these simplest tasks under the command of the caster.
Everything from opening the door, taking out the trash to serving food.
Although the invisible servant can exert force to trigger the trap, the power it exerts is limited, so Zhao Xu and the other three directly dug a bag of eighty or ninety kilograms of soil and let the invisible servant drag it.
In this way, even if there is a pit or the like ahead, or the fishing line triggers the trap just now, the invisible servant can go first to get through the mine.
When the invisible servant carried a bag of soil and moved forward, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least they had avoided some simple traps.
At this time, Zhao Xu didn't think much and prepared to put on the mage armor for himself.
But the female mage Lu suddenly said: "You guys wait a moment."
After saying that, she took out a linen bag directly from her robe, and took out a stack of scrolls from the linen bag like a magic trick.
The amount in that thick stack was only much more than what Antinoya gave him on the spot to copy spells during his journey.
Zhao Xu also immediately understood what kind of sack it was. It was clearly a dimensional bag of space items.
Even the lowest-level one costs 2500 GP, which is more expensive than his backpack.
The female mage Lu divided the scroll in her hand into three stacks, handed it to the two of them one after another, and said softly: "You should take these scrolls first."
Although the female mage Ying was surprised that Yu Lu had so many scrolls, she didn't say much. She reached into her arms and took out a small paper bag and poured out 25 gold coins.
But this is just enough for the price of a first-level scroll.
The stack handed over by the female mage Lu had at least more than 10 cards.
Ying couldn't help but be secretly annoyed that she had spent hundreds of gold coins yesterday to buy collectibles because of her hobby of collecting, and her inventory was all used up in one go.
After thinking about what she had brought, she pursed her lips, handed the paper bag wallet to Lu, and said, "Let's mortgage this wallet with you first. I picked it up in the Floating City, and you only need it before sunset." If you put in 1 gold coin, 25 gold coins will appear the next morning. In this way, you can get your money back in 11 days, but you can’t put in more.”
Seeing this plot, Zhao Xu also scratched his head. His first reaction was to mentally calculate that his wallet could earn an additional 8,760 gold coins in a year.
Obviously he often visits the floating city, so why doesn't he have this opportunity
It seemed that most of the two female mages in front of him were as lucky as him.
Zhao Xu looked at the stack of scrolls with some confusion, saying that he would be lying if he said he wouldn't need them later.
It’s just that he really doesn’t have the equivalent of a few hundred gold coins on him.
Antinoya also believed that he didn't need to spend money in the floating city, so Zhao Xu only had dozens of gold coins left over from previous adventures in his backpack.
Zhao Xu didn't think much about it. The person in Floating City who could defraud him of his mortgage hadn't been born yet. After taking the scroll, he was about to take out an automatic shorthand pen to show Lu the mortgage.
However, the female mage Lu waved her hand and blocked the wallet handed over by Ying.
"These are given to you. Because most of them were given to me by others, I think they will be more useful in your hands."
"In other words, I think this trial is not just for learning a technique, but may have a deeper meaning. I also hope that you can become stronger."
Ying looked at Lu strangely.
Originally, the female mage Ying had the kind of character that would show her heart to others when they were kind to her, so she handed over the hen that could lay golden eggs on the spot.
As the three most advanced mages in the player group, they would not do anything unreasonable in the floating city.
But she was also in the same situation, so she couldn't help but ask: "Are you such a holy mother to everyone?"
Lu, who was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly, shook his head and smiled softly: "I can also help others, but you are all the first to reach level 2 like me. I'm afraid it's not just about your outstanding talents, right?"
After hearing this, Zhao Xu and Ying both continued to listen to each other in silence.
"So I'm very happy to see you in the same situation. If you feel sorry for yourself, just lend a helping hand to players who need help when you see them."
At this time, Lu also took out a prism-shaped Ioun Stone from her pocket like them, and after releasing it, it floated and hovered above her head.
Then Lu took out a handful from the dimensional bag, then held seven or eight first-level mana recovery pearls in both hands and handed them over.
"There are other things you can use to restore your spell slots first, but this doesn't entirely belong to me, so I can't give it to you."
When Zhao Xu saw this scene, he almost slapped his forehead. He didn't expect that Lu, who didn't look silly at all, would act in such a defenseless manner.
Even though he didn't covet it at all, he still couldn't help but stare at Lu's dimensional bag lying on the ground, secretly thinking about how many things were inside.
Zhao Xu knew that he might have met the richest woman among the players.
Even with this scene, no one would believe it if I put it on the forum.
