The Truth of Magic

Chapter 152: Level 3 Mage (1/3)

Views:

"I have been in the Floating City for so many years, and I have never heard of a student pretending to be a lecturer." Taxi from the Comprehensive Logistics Department of the Academic Forum said while looking at the three players around him.

Taxi, who has been stuck as a level 2 mage for more than ten years, was able to climb to the position of level 2 supervisor in the academic forum department, which is inseparable from his hard work over the years.

The leader among the three players was Jiang Shan, a man who had just played against Zhao Xu. As a son of a rich family, this was the first time he was so frustrated playing a game.

In this floating city, any NPC would be untouchable.

And Arthur did not open the mall props, and there was no way to recharge at all.

Even if you pay an extra 300 yuan to buy the deluxe version of the suit, it is in projection form and cannot be put into the market for resale.

So for the first time, rich players like Jiangshan felt that the game could be so difficult.

Jiang Shan contacted some gold mining studios, but most of them were far away from each other and were unable to transfer the limited gold coins to the floating city.

Jiangshan contacted her that day after hearing someone say that Wang Ningwei had obtained a "mana restoration pearl".

Who knew that Wang Ningwei, who everyone said was very popular, directly rejected his purchase request.

Today, Jiang Shan specially came to intercept Wang Ningwei in person, just to crush the other party's mentality by asking for money in person.

Jiangshan's father told him when he was a child that most of the transactions that were not concluded were at a price that could break the other party's psychological bottom line.

A 1,000 gold coin mana recovery pearl was not enough, so he asked for 20,000. He did not believe that Wang Ningwei could withstand this temptation.

Even his target is no longer just a mana recovery pearl.

Wang Ningwei is very famous among the players in the floating city. If he can cooperate with him unconditionally, then he believes that his plan to spend money will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

But when he arrived at the forum, he found Wang Ningwei chatting and laughing happily with a novice mage player there.

The unclean feeling of having someone else touch your beloved thing immediately stimulated the world.

Later, I saw that the player dared to go to the stage and pretend to be a lecturer to drive them away, so everything went smoothly.

Because he knew that the strict rules of the Floating City would make the clever mage player suffer a lot or even be driven away.

At this time, Taxi had already led the three Jiangshan people to the door of the 91st podium.

Tassie was working the night shift today and couldn't go back to celebrate her daughter's birthday. She was already very angry and was looking for a target to spread her anger on.

"So this 'Transmission Guide' spell, through this nested structure, can separate its information transmission, so that six additional people can get the information."

At this time, Zhao Xu was on the podium and began to analyze the first-level spell "Teleport Beacon" mentioned at the beginning of the handout.

At first, the instructor Broan had not seen this spell.

The only information is probably the name of the spell and some scattered portal information mentioned.

Therefore, there are many errors about this spell in the handouts.

Zhao Xu simply focused on it first, and the rest of the content was sorted out according to this model.

At this time, many mage apprentices in the audience already looked a little surprised.

Eswig and Wang Ningwei also took out their notes and took shorthand notes while correcting errors in their handouts.

Supervisor Taxi continued to listen to Zhao Xu's explanation for a full minute before he turned around, looked at the three Jiangshan people coldly and said, "Do you still think this lecturer was replaced by your players?"

At this time, Jiang Shan was also looking at Zhao Xu in disbelief, who was explaining the principles of magic on the stage with a confident face. He who was originally determined could not help but fall into deep self-doubt.

"That must not be a player." Jiang Shan comforted himself while gasping.

"You should know the rules of the Floating City. As long as you are in the academic forum, the lecturer has the supreme authority. Even if he feels that you have offended him because you stepped into the door with your left foot first, he still has the right to expel you."

Taxi gritted his teeth and warned the three Jiangshan people, "If you look for trouble again, you won't just be kicked out of the forum."

At this time, the two followers behind Jiangshan also bowed their heads to Taxi and apologized, and quickly pulled Jiangshan away, still talking about the impossibility.

After seeing the three people leaving, Taxi turned back and looked at Zhao Xu on the other side of the door.

He heard an adult mention the first-level "teleportation guide" spell that Zhao Xu described.

When this spell is released on the portal, you can know the direction and distance of the portal.

The portal has always been a strategic asset of the floating city. Even if the Mage Association branch applies to establish a portal, the approval procedures are very strict.

This is especially true for all spells involving portals. Without the approval of the Door of Truth, it is impossible to obtain learning permission.

As one of the comprehensive logistics directors of the forum, Taxi knew that the original candidate for the lecturer tonight was Bloan. After Bloan was injured, the superiors temporarily decided to replace him with a lecturer named "Wind".

The Broan that Taxi knew was a somewhat crazy level 5 mage.

But Broan's knowledge and insight into low-level spells are among the best among ordinary mages like them.

Sometimes even some middle-level mages would go out of their way to ask Broan for advice when encountering a first-level spell they had never seen before.

But, is Broan so good now

The handouts he wrote actually even touched on the teleportation series of spells sealed in the floating city.

Thinking of this, Taxi also shook his head, how could he worry so much.

At this time, Tassie was about to move forward, but stopped abruptly after hearing the next sentence coming from the pulpit.

"Speaking of illusion, let's just mention the second-level spell 'invisibility'."

Zhao Xu suddenly said on the podium at this time, and then he took a black pen and briefly sketched the spell structure of the invisibility spell on the whiteboard.

Zhao Xu, who has cast the ninth-level spell "Ultimate Invisibility", can be said to have personally experienced how the entire series of invisibility spells progresses layer by layer, and he is particularly touched by it.

In the final scroll space, Zhao Xu's own spellcasting had a strong sense of feedback.

The effect was completely different from when Zhao Xu used the staff to cast spells before.

When using a staff to cast a spell, he has no idea how the spell itself flows, or how the spell structure is released and undergoes multiple changes.

Because the spell was stored in the staff, he just lit a fire and didn't see the structure inside.

But when he cast spells in the final scroll, those spells were released from his mind as if he had prepared them himself, so Zhao Xu was hit every time he cast spells.

Using a wand or scroll to cast spells is like playing an electronic shooting game. Just press the mouse and you will get a shot.

When Zhao Xu casts a spell in the final scroll space, it is equivalent to actually going to the shooting range to practice with live ammunition.

So when he described the structure of the invisibility spell, he felt particularly emotional.

Because based on this structure, he knows exactly what improvement route to take in the future.

This is true even if he does not master any third-level and above spell structures at the moment.

It was like he saw the Apple phone of later generations and then went back in time to see the Symbian phone.

Even if Zhao Xu has no experience in the mobile phone industry, he can accurately describe the future development direction of smartphones.

Even what Zhao Xu himself got was far more than that.

At this time, Zhao Xu had a sudden impulse and began to expand the content of the invisibility spell and began to analyze the core of the spell.

Many mage apprentices in the audience could no longer keep up with the progress, and several of them could only reluctantly copy down the contents on Zhao Xu's whiteboard first, and then think about it carefully later.

Wang Ningwei and Eswig listened intently to Zhao Xu's analysis of the spell structure.

"Isn't it a summary of first-level spells? Why did it become a second-level spell?"

Eswig was a little confused by Zhao Xu's overachievement at this time, but the pen in his hand still recorded quickly.

"It should be that this spell has more reference significance for level one's Silent Phantom' and 'Disguise'." Wang Ningwei quickly caught Zhao Xu's train of thought and said.

"So, if you do a reverse engineering at this place, connect it to the fourth basic structure of the prophecy spell, and then reconstruct it, it will be the prophecy system's 'see through invisibility' spell."

Zhao Xu suddenly demonstrated this magic transformation on the stage.

Suddenly, many people in the audience were breathing heavily.

The "invisibility spell" of the illusion system and the "see through invisibility" of the prophecy system can be regarded as opposing spells. They do have a way to reverse spells, but the method is complicated on the one hand, and the conditions for achieving it are difficult on the other.

There are not many people who can rely on "invisibility" to "see through invisibility", but they are basically quite advanced mages.

This also made the mage apprentices in the audience feel a sense of high respect and emotion.

They did not expect that Lecturer Broan did not come, but Floating City arranged for a senior mage who was familiar with low-level spells to explain, which was equivalent to treating them as their own sons.

Senior mages sometimes do not have the same depth of understanding of some low-level spells as those experienced low-level mages.

It's not that senior mages are not smart, it's that they have more efficient senior spells to replace them, and there is no need to optimize the older system.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking for a long time, he couldn't help but gasp in excitement.

It was only after he unleashed the sixth-level spell "True Knowledge" on himself that he grasped the bridge between "invisibility" and "seeing through invisibility".

"True Knowledge" is a sixth-level prophecy spell that can see through all illusions and has a powerful effect.

Some people even joked that if there were no "true knowledge", the number of students choosing to specialize in illusion would at least double every year.

Zhao Xu also turned to the next page of the handout, and when he was about to continue with another first-level spell, he caught a glimpse of a mage standing outside the door and bowing to him

However, Zhao Xu was still busy with the lecture at this time and did not ask too much.

Taxi, who was bowing outside the door, was in tears at this moment.

After listening to the spell analysis, he finally reached level 3 after wasting 10 years on level 2.

There are six chapters planned in the past two days. Among them, there are 5 chapters with 16,000 words, which are guaranteed to be 8k per day. The other chapter is to repay the reward from the leader. The title will indicate that the two updates owed to the leader must be paid back as soon as possible.
