The Truth of Magic

Chapter 150: Knowledge mastery (2/3)

Views:

In the next few days, Zhao Xu did not leave the space of the final scroll. He impatiently summoned the spell books one by one to absorb energy, and then released the spell again.

In particular, some spells require a high cost to cast.

After some masters learn it, they may not be able to release it several times in their lives.

But it's not a problem for Zhao Xu.

In the final scroll space, he is equivalent to unlimited spell slots, and there is no cost for casting any spell.

Even some spells that require a minute or even an hour to chant a spell can be released by Zhao Xu with just a thought.

But after the spell is released, the real feedback from the spell is not fake.

He is equivalent to gaining undiscounted spellcasting experience.

Until later, when Antinoya returned to the scroll space and saw Zhao Xu, she didn't recognize Zhao Xu at all.

According to what she said, Zhao Xu for the first time behaved like a mage.

He has the inexplicable and indescribable heritage, or self-confidence, of a mage.

After leaving the final scroll space, Zhao Xu successfully consolidated his level 3 character level without spending too much energy, and was officially promoted to level 3 mage and level 2 file scholar.

At the same time, he also followed Antinoya's instructions and began to attend more academic lectures, trying to awaken the file scholar's level 2 professional ability "Learning Mastery" as soon as possible.

When Zhao Xu acquires this ability, his document interpretation skills and knowledge (mysterious) skills can all gain a +2 nameless bonus.

The nameless bonus is a bonus that can be stacked at will. If Zhao Xu's knowledge (mystery) skill has one hundred abilities with +2 nameless bonus, then he can completely stack the knowledge (mystery) skill bonus to 200+ .

So even though this bonus was better than nothing, Zhao Xu still didn't dare to relax and spent a lot of time on weekdays giving lectures on knowledge (mystery).

After Zhao Xu took the lecture ticket that was delivered every day this time, he quietly found a corner to sit down and listened quietly to the lecturer on the stage explaining mysterious knowledge.

Generally speaking, most low-level mages choose to go to the knowledge library to read occult books to improve their knowledge (occult) skills.

This method is the stupidest but also the most stable, and it is also the most conducive to improving the knowledge (mystery) skill level.

But when Zhao Xu raised the knowledge (mystery) to the upper limit of level 6 in the knowledge library, he still did not obtain the "knowledge mastery" ability of the dossier.

So he also expected these lectures to trigger him.

"Who can tell what this symbol means?" Morris, a lecturer on the stage, asked. He was wearing a unique light white robe.

Morris, who was already a level 5 mage in his early thirties, could barely be considered a minor success even in a place like the Floating City where high-level mages gathered.

Although he is limited by his character level and can only upgrade his knowledge (mysterious) skill to level 8, this only affects his success rate in connecting to the source of knowledge.

Morris has been immersed in various occult books since he was six years old. This foundational quality makes him highly appreciated by middle and high-level people.

After hearing Morris's question, the thirty or so novice wizards and wizard apprentices in the small auditorium fell silent, obviously trapped by this question.

Although Morris is famous, attending his lectures will not lead to assistants staying in the floating city, so his lecture tickets will not be particularly popular.

Therefore, when Morris holds lectures to share his recent research results, he usually does not use a large venue. Generally, a small forum with fifty people is enough.

Zhao Xu also looked at the mark drawn by Morris on the whiteboard at this time. He did not try to use the knowledge (mysterious) skill to retrieve it, but thought about it on his own first.

He could appreciate that Morris's knowledge of mysticism was very strong.

Even if Maurice is upgraded in the future, there is no need to study it again. The knowledge (mystery) level will automatically consume skill points to upgrade at the moment his character is upgraded.

This is also the natural model that everyone admires the most.

According to Zhao Xu's guess, Eswig and Wang Ningwei both have this trait.

As for Zhao Xu, he could only get lucky and come first.

Seeing that no one answered, Morris had no choice but to smile and shake his head, then continued to explain the origin of the entire symbol.

"This secret symbol itself is actually related to cryptography. Later, after Master Aiqi introduced it into the advanced mysterious symbol system, it gradually became widely used by the mage community. Generally speaking, as long as you study document interpretation and occultism All mages will never miss this symbol." Morris slowly explained.

Zhao Xu's eyes slowly lit up as he looked at the occult symbol with the thirteen transformation modes.

Suddenly, a female assistant from the platform's logistics side ran in and whispered a few words to Morris.

After hearing what the other party said, Morris' expression changed a bit, and then he looked overjoyed.

He quickly walked to the whiteboard, wrote an encrypted evolution formula about the secret symbol on it, and then said: "I suddenly have something to deal with, and I will be back in a while. Let's work on this question first."

But when he was about to walk out of the door of the podium, he stopped again and looked at everyone with a smile: "Of course, if someone can do it, then he doesn't have to listen to the lecture tonight and can leave first."

Morris then handed the note with the answer to the female assistant and left first.

After Morris's footsteps gradually faded away, many mage apprentices who were just here to get a stamp and get their qualifications couldn't help but complain.

Just looking at the female assistant standing at the door of the forum watching everyone, the mage still lowered his voice.

No one is afraid of a female assistant, but no one dares to offend a level 5 mage easily.

In order to urge the mage apprentices to receive education in different aspects, the Floating City requires the mage apprentices to provide enough stamped lecture tickets every week.

One of the reasons why many mage apprentices come to listen to Morris's lectures is because they heard that Morris is very likely to stamp the lecture tickets.

At this time, Zhao Xu glanced at the question and stood up to pack his things and prepare to go back. He already had a clue about his "knowledge mastery" ability and planned to discuss it with Antinoya.

But when Zhao Xu walked to the door, the female assistant who followed Morris' instructions reached out to stop him, "This student, Master Morris hasn't come back yet. Please wait a moment."

For them, the orders of level 5 mages should be strictly implemented.

Zhao Xu originally wanted to say that he didn't need the lecture ticket to be stamped, but he just looked at the female assistant's appearance, with a completely difficult attitude.

He didn't say much, just walked to the whiteboard and picked up the pen.

The mage apprentices in the audience originally thought that Zhao Xu was going to write the answer directly, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xu stopped and fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.

I’ve never heard of someone having to panic after being slapped in the face.

Just slowly, the laughter disappeared.

Zhao Xu wrote the final answer directly without even doing the calculation.

The female assistant who was holding the note and comparing it with the answer on the whiteboard was stunned.

Professor Morris gave her this note just to prevent someone from fooling her with wrong answers, and he didn't expect anyone to come up with it.

When Zhao Xu walked to Antinoya's office on the seventh floor of the obelisk, he was also a little dazed.

Because the moment he asked that question, his dynamic panel displayed a message—

[Adventurer Midsummer awakens the "Learning Mastery" ability, and knowledge (mystery) and document interpretation skills gain a +2 bonus]

These days, Zhao Xu feels that his mind has become more flexible.

But he also knew that it would take ten and a half months for his intelligence to be fully developed, so this improvement in thinking more clearly made him somewhat confused.

After Zhao Xu opened the door, he saw Antinoya standing there staring at the skeletal armor.

At this time, Antinoya turned around and saw Zhao Xu, and said with a hint of unspeakable meaning: "It seems that you have obtained that ability, so you don't need to attend the lecture?"

Zhao Xu temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded yes.

And Antinoya came over and handed him a letter.

Zhao Xu took it and took a look, feeling a little unbelievable.

"Lecture on occult knowledge?" Zhao Xu asked.

If it was just an ordinary lecture, it would be nothing.

It's just that one of the lecturer's names at the bottom of the lecture was crossed out, and then the name "Zhongxia" was rewritten on it.

When did he become qualified to give lectures to others

"Sometimes it's like this. You may not understand it when you listen to others, but explaining it yourself will trigger you. Although I didn't expect you to awaken this ability now, the lecture has been arranged, so you have to go. .”

Antinoya chuckled.

"The lecture is tonight. Don't miss the time. Anyway, you are just a level 1 mage. You can definitely control the situation."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn't immediately doubt himself.

In fact, he has a level 6 knowledge (mystery) skill level, which reaches the upper limit of level 3 characters, because the skill level can only be 3 levels higher than the character level.

But many mages, even level 6 or 7, may not have as high a level of knowledge (mystery) as Zhao Xu if they don't have enough mystical skills.

"Knowledge" is much more elusive than hitting an accurate spell.

Knowledge, intelligence, and spells are the three pillars that support the power of a mage, but unfortunately, sometimes the pillar of spells is too strong, even covering up the brilliance of the other two.

"Then what is the theme of my occult knowledge lecture?"

Even though he was facing players in the game or Arthur natives, Zhao Xu still did not dare to underestimate this lecture and was immediately ready to start preparing lessons.

"Don't worry, the lecturer who was originally scheduled for the lecture was injured while conducting magic research, so you need to take his place. The materials he prepared before are on the table. Just go and take a look."

Antinoya continued to look at the armor and said.

Zhao Xu walked over to Antinoya's usual desk. There was indeed a piece of material on it that looked much thicker. He picked it up and took a look - on the diversity of first-level spells.

Level 1 spell

To put it bluntly—

The first-level spells mastered by the nine-ring mage in the floating city may not be as comprehensive as Zhao Xu's.

It turned out that this was the reason why Antinoya asked him to take over the lecture.

Chapter 3 needs to be written until 1 o'clock, so there's no need to wait. Starting tomorrow, it is agreed that the first update will be at 6 o'clock, the second update will be at 9 o'clock, and the third update will be at 12 o'clock. If it times out again in the future, I will apologize more. I am really sorry today.
