"Teacher, that cloak?" Zhao Xu pointed to a folded black cloak in the corner. It looked completely plain and unpretentious, without the restrained but still noble aura of a divine weapon.
Antinoya looked in the direction that Zhao Xu pointed, and immediately understood and said with a smile: "You are really obsessed with this thing."
Zhao Xu smiled when he heard this, and thought this was coming.
He was very impressed by this cloak, which could be called a small damage reduction artifact.
In her previous life, when Wang Ningwei attended the Northern Lord's dinner as an envoy, she wore this cloak - the Star Cloak.
It was also through that opportunity that he heard the power of this cloak worth 130,000 gold coins from others.
At this time, Zhao Xu walked to the shelf and gently twisted up the knitted cloak, only to find that there were three or four more underneath.
This also shows that the one in his hand is not the one that Antinoya wore when he first met her.
But it doesn't matter, powerful magic equipment will not be discounted just because it is second-hand.
"Well, this star cloak comes from the seventh-level spell of the same name. That spell is a contact spell and does not meet the requirement of 'spell durability', so it is okay to wear it as a piece of equipment."
What Antinoya meant was that the spell "Star Cloak" could not stay on the body for 24 hours, which increased the value of this piece of equipment.
For those mages who have mastered the durability of spells, there is really no need to find the same equipment to put on a spell that lasts for 24 hours.
Just like mages don't wear armor, on the one hand, it's because of the failure rate of arcane spells, and on the other hand, the duration of their own "mage armor" spells reaches the hour level, and at the same time, they avoid the inconvenience and penalty of armor piercing.
"Teacher, won't you explain this equipment to me?"
Zhao Xu touched the black lines on the cloak and said.
The cloak looks extremely ordinary, not much different from the shawl cloak that adventurers often wear to cover their figures.
"Asking knowingly." Antinoya smiled, but she still explained patiently.
"Wearing this cloak will make you immune to all attacks from non-magical weapons, and will also destroy the opponent in reverse. As for magic weapons, you can offset half of the damage as long as you pass the dodge check."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu also nodded. It was indeed the effect he knew. If someone dared to use an ordinary machete to hack him in the future, he would find that the knife was broken.
Full of forceful effect.
"You put it on first and take a look." Antinoya said.
At this time, Zhao Xu took off the hooded cloak that was purely for decoration and put on this "star cloak" again.
The moment he put on the cloak, the entire cloak suddenly turned into a sparkling lake in the night sky, and at the same time, countless stars seemed to be flowing across the surface, drawing silver trails.
Although Zhao Xu didn't get any feedback or even reminder from the cloak.
But he knew that after wearing this cloak, the enemy would have to at least bring a magic weapon to be qualified to cut him, especially the stray arrows on the battlefield.
If he had worn this cloak before going to the Forest of Whispers, he would not have been killed by the bow and arrow trap.
Even from magic weapons, he is qualified to dodge half of the damage to his health.
"Are you satisfied?" Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with a smile, and he was constantly looking at the cloak on his body.
"Don't choose the artifact here?" Antinoya continued to ask.
"For example, the Archmage's Staff placed in the corner next to it can not only absorb the enemy's spell energy, but also convert the energy into more than a dozen designated spells for release."
When Zhao Xu heard this bewildering suggestion, he just shook his head.
He knows his own worth.
Every artifact is not that simple.
He can't bear the weight of the crown now at level 3.
"Well, it seems you're not that arrogant. In fact, if you couldn't choose just now, I would suggest you get the Rune Staff of Power. It can cause twice the damage and also has a series of terrifying effects. But now you There’s no need for close combat, so don’t worry, I’ll get it next time.”
"As for the cloak you are wearing, do you think it would be placed here if it were so simple?" Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Xu really fell into deep thought.
Arthur, ordinary people and even most low-level adventurers basically use non-magical ordinary weapons.
The poorer ones might even just pick up a stick.
Even the cheapest +1 magic weapon starts at 2,000 gold coins.
This cloak can help him screen out attacks from ordinary rookies.
The problem is that after he reaches an advanced level, the enemies he encounters will not be without magic weapons.
Even a first-level mage has a way to restrain it. For example, when Zhao Xu faced the ghost that night, he used the "demonized weapon" spell to turn Maple Leaf's giant sword into a magic weapon +1 giant sword for a short time.
For many creatures with templates, such as half-celestial creatures, their natural weapons are basically regarded as magic weapons.
When Zhao Xu transformed into the Blazing God's Attendant, the +5 Dancing Sky Sword that Ling Kong mastered was itself regarded as a legendary magic weapon.
"Most mages have triggering spells, so if you are afraid of the story of a senior mage who has no spells and is stabbed to death by a thief, there is no need to be nervous." Antinoya continued to confuse Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu thought for a while and continued: "I mainly think that it can offset half of the damage through dodge. It should have some follow-up methods."
Antinoya also nodded slightly, satisfied with Zhao Xu's minimum acumen.
"Do you know the fireball technique?" Antinoya suddenly asked.
"Clearly, fireball and flying are typical spells of the third level of the mage." Zhao Xu said.
Even ordinary people have heard the legend of a terrifying mage who used fireballs to directly massacre a dozen ordinary people.
"If you dodge the fireball spell, you will only receive half of your health, you know that, right?" Antinoya continued to induce.
Zhao Xu nodded. This kind of successful dodge can offset half of the damage, which is a typical feature of plastic energy magic.
Except for a few spells that require nothing to pass, in order for most magic to be effective, most of them must first break through the target's spell resistance and then make the target fail the save.
As for the fireball spell, if the target fails the save, it will take all the damage, and if the target succeeds, it will take half of the damage.
It is slightly different from Zhao Xu's previous "Colorful Jet" spell in that if the saving throw fails, he will fall down, but if he succeeds, he will not be affected.
Therefore, Star Cloak can reduce damage by half if the saving throw is passed, which is consistent with the damage principle of fireball.
"Then have you ever heard of an ability?" Antinoya asked gradually, as if telling a story.
"Um?"
Zhao Xu was about to ask a question when suddenly the typical level 2 ability of a rogue flashed through his mind.
He said with a hint of doubt: "Reflex dodge ability?"
"That's right." Antinoya confirmed.
Evasion is one of the rogue's typically powerful 2nd-level abilities.
A rogue with this ability who succeeds on a saving throw avoids attacks that take half damage with a Reflex save, instead of taking half the damage.
Achieve real damage avoidance.
This is also why the mage sometimes throws a fireball spell, and most people will be injured even if they succeed in saving.
The reason why the rogue with the ability to dodge was able to rush over unscathed.
"In other words, if a level 2 rogue wears this cloak, the opponent can dodge all damage from even magic weapons as long as the opponent succeeds in the reflex save?"
Zhao Xu asked for confirmation, although he already vaguely understood the answer in his heart.
It's just a pity that he is not a wanderer.
The dodge difficulty of the Star Cloak is fixed at level 15. Once he reaches a higher level, passing this reflex save is a sure thing.
The greater significance of Zhao Xu's choice of this cloak is that in terms of physical attacks, he will naturally receive half less damage.
"What if I say you can get this evasion ability?"
Antinoya's voice at this moment had some ethereal meaning.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu thought about it and asked him to work part-time as a level 2 rogue again. This would be too expensive and unnecessary.
There is only one explanation.
"Is there a spell that can allow me to gain this ability?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Looking back, it's time for you to memorize the effects of thousands of extended spells."
"The fourth-level mage arcane 'Relic Explorer's Wealth' allows you to gain the ability to dodge, and the reflex saving throw can be superimposed with a charm adjustment value. More importantly, it is a spell that can last."
Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with soft eyes.
It goes without saying that she has this spell on her body at the moment.
Level 7!
By the time Zhao Xu learned this spell at level 7, combined with the spell itself, he could improve his reflex save. Naturally, he would have basically passed the reflex test reliably.
In other words, the time when Zhao Xu can be immune to most melee attacks is at level 7.
This is also the reason why star cloaks are rare and precious.
Even if an ordinary mage learns this spell, the effect can only last for minutes, and the mage is already level 13 at that time.
A mage of this level can still be attacked at close range, so it would not be unfair to die.
Zhao Xu also looked at the cloak on his body with a slightly tangled expression at this time.
It's a pity that it's not up to par. If it were an artifact, it would be immune to the anti-magic field spell.
"Let's go." Antinoya said.
"Let's go?" Zhao Xu was surprised, "Teacher, it's rare to come to this secret place. Why don't you show me around?"
"Do you think you're here for adventure?" Antinoya was not angry.
"And the effect of your calling me sister is about to expire. When the time expires, you will be attacked by the magic of this treasure. I remember that the first spell seems to be the ninth-level arcane 'Confinement'."
"If you get hit, I'm not in the mood to release the opposing ninth-level spell 'Release Technique' today to let you out. I will definitely let you reflect for two days before I say anything."
"Sister." Zhao Xu quickly added.
He had heard of the great reputation of this spell that could make a person immortal forever and fall into a state of suspended animation forever.
"Haha, I don't recognize it." Antinoya said.
