On the top of the central tower of the real illusion, the walls made of red stone bricks are hung with floating projections, showing the real scene of the entire Forest of Whispers.
The projection angles are diverse, as if there are pairs of eyes dotted in different positions in the void.
If you look carefully at those pictures, you will find that more than half of them are centered around the exploded stone tablet.
"Vice President, those sounds you just transformed didn't make sense, did they?" When Zhao Xu and others arrived at the fracture canyon, Lei An had already taken a back seat and did not intervene to control the later scenes.
Therefore, after the two girls Lu (Wang Ningwei) and Ying (Asswig) were killed by the black light curse, the voice that Zhao Xu heard was not that of Lei An.
"As outsiders, we can often observe others with a god-like mentality. But those who are in the game, especially in a situation where death will officially dissipate if it is delayed for a few seconds, are mentally tortured. It will also be more painful.”
The vice president of the Mage Association, Furong Feng, looked at Zhao Xu in the projection and said, his expression has softened a lot since just now.
Leian couldn't help but think deeply at this time.
He knew that Furious Wind was not just testing whether Zhao Xu could save people.
In the spell to take the stone tablet, after Zhao Xu used up the one chance to protect himself, the remaining two chances could save one person, and then use them to materialize the looming floating bridge, and then the two survivors passed through together. .
Those who were not selected for resurrection were naturally resurrected by Leian, but the other party also lost the chance to move on.
This test itself is screening each other and proving each other's abilities.
The strongest can choose the most valuable teammates. This is the cruel truth explained by that stone tablet.
Only Zhao Xu chose to refuse to move forward, and both spells were used to save people.
This choice has been made by others before, but it would never be to the point where the vice president would be moved.
Leian knew there must be something deeper that he hadn't been able to see yet.
"So be it."
After Vice President Fury Feng said these words, he immediately teleported away. ���
When Zhao Xu revealed that he was a level 3 mage, both Wang Ningwei and Eswig looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.
In fact, even Zhao Xu himself didn't understand what happened.
He knew that the character level on his character card panel had now become level 3.
That is to say, after he completes some remaining promotion conditions, he will be an authentic level 3 mage, as well as a level 1 priest and a level 2 dossier scholar.
Just like that moment when he met Master Lane at the bottom of the mine, he upgraded on the spot and directly had all the conditions to become a level 2 character.
"You mean, just in this adventure, you were upgraded to level 3?" Eswig asked Zhao Xu with some consideration.
At this time, the air on the edge of the cliff still had a faint smell of decay, which was the sequelae after the black light of death erupted.
But Zhao Xu could feel the abundant power after the upgrade throughout his body, including his potential points returning to full capacity.
More importantly, from now on, he can learn second-level spells.
The door to the new world of second-level magic was finally opened to him.
"But speaking of it, why do you want to save us? In other words, if you want to save us, choose Lu, oh, shouldn't it be enough to say Ningwei? She is a good helper with many wealth and treasures." asked jokingly.
From the beginning, Wang Ningwei just looked at the two of them with a smile on her face and didn't say much.
It was enough for her that everyone could survive.
Even the fact that Zhao Xu became a level 3 mage was nothing more than a trivial matter.
After Zhao Xu heard Eswig's question, he was silent for a while and then said: "I didn't think too much, I just didn't want to watch my life disappear in front of me."
"I refuse this choice of sacrificing others." Zhao Xu explained.
He's not great, it's just that some things are really unnecessary.
He wants to climb to the top and earn the number of resurrections he wants.
There is no need to sacrifice the death of the two women in exchange for him being resurrected once or twice.
"I owe you," Eswig said softly.
Suddenly, the originally blood-red sky began to change, like a dark red background cloth being splashed with bright paint, and the sky was torn apart bit by bit.
The ground also shook, and the cracked and dry ground slowly filled the gaps.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light fell from the sky, breaking all the tranquility in the deep sky.
Zhao Xu was in a trance for a while, then opened his eyes again after the bright light passed.
In front of him was a calm and peaceful small classroom, and outside the light-transmitting screen window was a peaceful and peaceful scene of the floating city.
The dappled sunlight fell on them, like a new life.
"Isn't the effect of this real illusion good?" Leian sat on a hand-carved chair and motioned for the three of them to sit down as well.
"Congratulations on temporarily passing this test." Leian said with a smile after the three of them sat down on the chairs in front of him.
"No need to proceed to the next step?" Wang Ningwei asked.
Zhao Xu and Eswig also looked at Leian with the same expression.
The three of them knew that this test was actually just the first scene. At the end of the blood moon, there must be places they could explore.
"Actually, you are going the wrong way." Leian explained awkwardly.
"The name of this illusion is called 'The Witch's Secret Box'. It is a relatively long-span test illusion, but the later difficulty is too high and is not suitable for you now. So the original intention of the test at the beginning was just to let you go back to the eighth At the entrance of the elevator on the first floor, you can find a secret door there, and what’s inside is what I want you to find.”
"The broken stone tablet is a later test content. But I didn't expect that you newbie mages can actually accumulate enough knowledge (mysterious) skill bonuses to decipher the content of the stone tablet. You are indeed the best among the players." ." Leian praised.
At this time, he had noticed that Zhao Xu had become a level 3 person, and there was a hint of disbelief in his smile.
The three of them were a little confused now. After they first explored and thought it might be teleportation, they didn't think much about it anymore. Who would have expected this situation.
But if they can't get past the cliff, they will naturally look back for clues, and they will probably be able to find the secret door by then.
However, they happened to accumulate a full 19+ skill bonus, and directly played out the subsequent plot.
"Then we don't need to test? What about the reward?" Eswig asked realistically.
"There are still phased rewards." Leian suddenly felt that he had encountered a more difficult opponent.
"As for the subsequent tests, we have to wait until you all reach level 3. I guarantee that the items in the Witch's Secret Box will be very useful even if you reach the later stage."
"Actually, this real illusion has many test copies. Except for the abilities that cannot be taken away, most of the other physical objects you find are real and usable. So being able to come to the eighth level is a reward in itself. Oh."
"However, this kind of copy has progress lock, so the next time you all reach level 3, you have to come together to open it."
Leian explained with a somewhat cunning smile.
"Hmph, you finally admit that those three mages are fake? Haha, I won't come next time you invite me to such a gloomy scene," Eswig said firmly.
Wang Ningwei said: "I listen to Zhongxia and Eswig."
Zhao Xu didn't expect Eswig to be so righteous in his words, but considering his collecting personality, he just didn't want to say it was really delicious.
"I'm also very busy, so let's get down to business and teach you the ability to 'disguise spells'." Leian urged.
He only had a partial understanding of the real secret behind the Witch's Secret Box. It was only an illusion open to low-level mages. It was unknown whether anyone had ever cleared it.
Leian made do with this small classroom, which was not spacious, and began to explain to Zhao Xu and the others the ins and outs of 'disguise casting', as well as the techniques for using it.
But when they heard the specific content, not to mention Zhao Xu, even the two women who had always been calm and calm couldn't help but frown.
In head-to-head confrontations between mages, the easiest way to obtain information is naturally the "spell recognition" ability.
Only by knowing the opponent's spells can we deal with them calmly.
The prerequisite for spell identification is to hear the other party's spell and see the other party's spell-casting actions.
In this way, even if you don't know the spell cast by the other party, it is still possible to rely on the "Spell Identification" skill to get feedback from the source of magic, so as to know what spell the other party cast.
However, to obtain the technical ability of "Concealed Spellcasting", several prerequisites need to be met.
Concentration Level 1, Spell Recognition Level 1, Sleight of Hand Level 5.
The first two, Zhao Xu, have already reached level 5. Now that he has become a level 3 character, he can upgrade the first two to level 6.
Just the skill alone made Zhao Xu and even Eswig and Wang Ningwei suffer.
The simplest way to demonstrate the ability of hand skills is to hide a coin with the help of flowers on your hands.
At a higher level of difficulty, this is the ability to steal.
Most of the homeless people performing tricks on the street have one or two levels of kung fu skills like this.
And every rogue who aspires to become a master of thievery will work hard to improve this skill.
Although players and even the residents of Arthur despise theft, in some extreme tasks, having a rogue with advanced kung fu skills will indeed get twice the result with half the effort.
However, the skill of Sleight of Hand is not a professional skill for mages and file scholars. If Zhao Xu wants to spend skill points to upgrade to level 5, he has to invest a full 10 points.
This also shows that obtaining the "disguise casting" technique will be a relatively long-term task.
When Zhao Xu's skill reaches level 5, he will probably be able to disguise his spell-casting movements as normal movements.
In this way, no one can see through him casting spells.
If he could also cover up the sound of the spell, then every spell cast by Zhao Xu would be like a surprise attack.
This is also the strategic value of the ability "Concealed Spellcasting".
And Leian didn't expect the three of them to show him a miracle on the spot and show such a hand directly.
Even if these three players with level zero kung fu are the Sons of God, they still need 10 skill points to spare.
Only when Zhao Xu reached level 3 did he regain the upgraded skill point reward—the intelligence adjustment brought 3 points and 1 point for humans.
At the same time, he can also receive professional rewards, but this must be obtained after he is officially promoted. Among them, the dossier scholar is 4 points.
Zhao Xu and the other three were also bombarded by Leian, who forcibly memorized a series of "disguise spell casting" tips and signed a contract to promise not to leak all the contents of the "real illusion", and then were driven away by Leian.
Even when Zhao Xu asked him what to do if he forgot, Lei An just told him to go back and ask the two girls.
Zhao Xu and the other three came to the eighth floor at different times and took the alchemy elevator up separately.
This time, the three of them sat down together on the alchemy elevator.
After the adventure in the fantasy Forest of Whispers, the three of them finally felt a little more like partners.
"How do you feel about becoming the number one player?" Eswig asked after pressing the button on the first floor.
When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The box in my memory was suddenly opened, and countless pieces of information flashed through my mind.
Unconsciously, he crossed the first echelon and climbed directly to the top.
Among the players, the only ones with the highest levels now are those level 2 warriors. It is said that they are approaching level 3, but they have not yet reached it.
Even if there is a team organization that spends huge resources on purpose, it is still unable to get people to level 3 and get the honorary title of the first player.
On the forum and in all the Arthur discussion groups, no one knew that there were currently level 2 mages.
As for the level 3 mage, it is even more fantasy.
Once the news of Zhao Xu becoming a level 3 mage is revealed, some mage players who have been stuck for a long time may be tempted to smash the window glass of TC's house on the spot.
"I really can't tell you have such a temperament." Aiswei hoped that Zhao Xu, who was a little dazed, shook his head.
"What kind of temperament?" Zhao Xu didn't respond.
"You have the temperament of a king." Eswig said, isn't this kind of first person usually very domineering
Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head. He did not expect that Eswig, who looked very smart and steady, would have such a child's mentality.
The real king in the future will be the one next to him.
When everyone gets their real attributes and those real abilities a year later, that will be the beginning of a real difference.
Only then did Zhao Xu truly become a highly intelligent mage.
"No, Mr. Zhongxia is still very reliable." Wang Ningwei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Eswig, you are also very reliable."
At this time, the alchemy elevator finally slowly reached the first floor, the steel gate slowly opened, and the sunshine of hope fell on the green faces of the three people again.
Zhao Xu looked at the tallest obelisk in front of him.
Level 2 spell, here he comes.
