"Okay. You put on these shoes first." Antinoya said.
Advance rewards in advance
Zhao Xu couldn't help but guess how difficult this test would be.
However, he was still quick with his hands and feet, and immediately put on the pair of dark red leather high-top teleportation boots on his feet. As expected, they were very comfortable and fit directly on his feet.
Now he can be considered a person with three magic equipment.
Zhao Xu is equipped with magic equipment in more than a dozen equipment parts of his body, at least the cloak and boots.
Compared to most current players, he is considered extremely wealthy.
"Teacher, what is the content of the test?" Zhao Xu said as he dusted himself off.
"Find the Molin Stone Tablet, remember what's on it and come back and tell me." Antinoya said softly.
Morin Stele
Zhao Xu secretly wondered if there were any Molin stele near Mystra
He immediately tried to use the knowledge skill check, but found that it completely failed.
"Where is it?" Zhao Xu asked.
"You will know when you travel to the vicinity of the stone tablet later." Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with a smile.
"Time travel?"
"That's right, time travel back to the Dark Ages."
Zhao Xu's heart suddenly sank.
The Dark Ages, a period that the Mage Guild would only refer to - before the establishment of magical civilization.
Does this allow him to cross the river of history and go back to thousands of years ago
"That's right, I will use legendary spells to send you back to that era." Antinoya said, "Don't worry, there were not many formal mages at that time. The second-level spells you master now will go back to that era." It’s not an exaggeration to say he was invincible at that time.”
"No, mentor, the main thing is, is it so easy to travel back in time?" Zhao Xu already had a vague bad association.
Doesn't that mean that the legendary mage can go back to the past and tamper with history
"It's not easy, and it requires very high requirements. I can't go back easily because the time channel cannot carry my power. Only a few creatures like the time dragon can go back."
"But don't think about how you can tamper with the past. It's not that easy. As for why, you will know after you become a legend." Antinoya said.
"Okay then." Zhao Xu said with some doubts, "Then how do I get back?"
"Just shout my name." Antinoya said.
Although Zhao Xu didn't think it was reliable, he still nodded honestly.
If it was really an era when magic was still ignorant, then he wouldn't have to worry too much if he went back to the past and relied on the equipment on his body.
"Teacher, should you give me a few more pieces of equipment?" Zhao Xu also shamelessly offered the price at this time.
"Oh, even if I give you the artifact, you may not be able to take it with you." Antinoya said.
Suddenly, a huge magical ritual array emerged from the ground in the entire spell battle room, and countless arcane words outlined on the ground were directly activated, spreading out to the edge in a star shape.
Antinoya also began to chant a spell at this time, and with every syllable, it was like thunder in Zhao Xu's ears.
In an instant, streaks of purple electricity began to emerge from the magic array on the ground, continuously ejected into the air, and slowly condensed into a ball of lightning.
The innermost center of the sphere was already so hot that light smoke was emitting from it, and the outer circle began to flash with a blue halo of light.
In an instant, the ball lightning seemed to be torn apart, and a hole was exposed in the center.
"Go in quickly." Antinoya's tone was still calm, but a little urgent.
Zhao Xu hurriedly ran toward the ball lightning. When he was about to get close, a strong gravitational force appeared at the junction of time and space, distorting Zhao Xu's entire body, and then slowly shrunk until it disappeared. ���
Zhao Xu looked at the dry and cracked ground under his feet and fell into thought.
The heat waves in the air kept spewing out, and it seemed like a huge furnace was buried under the ground, constantly scorching the pedestrians on the ground.
Zhao Xu looked up and saw that the trees in the distance were all dried up by the heat wave. The entire elm forest was completely withered and dead.
"Endure the environment." Zhao Xu cast a first-level spell on himself.
This spell can keep him normal in an environment of -45 to 60 degrees Celsius, preventing him from frostbite or heat wave damage.
The originally scalding heat wave was immediately dissipated, and Zhao Xu's surroundings seemed to have a constant temperature environment. The hot air he breathed into his lungs felt better.
Looking at the land in front of him, Zhao Xu couldn't help but get a headache.
Where should he go to find the stone tablet Antinoya wants
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you are under a long-range attack, and the star cloak effect is activated.]
Zhao Xu felt his shoulders sink, as if a force was hitting him.
He suddenly looked back and found three soldiers wearing leather armor pointing simple bows and arrows at him.
But they all looked surprised, as if they couldn't believe it.
At this time, in front of Zhao Xu, there was an arrow that had been broken into two sections, apparently destroyed by his cloak.
Was he attacked
Zhao Xu didn't expect that he would let down his guard to this extent and be attacked unexpectedly before he could react.
Perhaps when he first teleported and appeared here, these three people were already lurking around, waiting until he just cast the spell before attacking him rashly.
"Who are you?" Zhao Xu asked.
But the leader shouted, "Run quickly, this wizard is very strong."
Then the three of them hurriedly ran away deep into the forest.
Zhao Xu watched the three disappearing figures and did not try to catch up.
In the transitional era when magical civilization emerged, magic was a taboo that people feared
He was even scared to the point of trying to attack him whenever he saw him.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Xu didn't think much and directly used the first-level magic "Earth Vein Detection".
After three full rounds, Zhao Xu put down the small magnet weapon in his hand.
A green aura emitted from his fingertips and then penetrated into the ground.
Gradually, a map began to appear in his mind, from villages to ruins. It was outlined in his mind bit by bit and gradually took shape.
Zhao Xu looked at the map in his mind with a radius of nearly hundreds of kilometers. It basically covered the general situation around him.
Thanks to Deruy's fourth-level magic, which was only first-level among the rangers, Zhao Xu was able to obtain such detailed information in this unfamiliar place.
Zhao Xu looked at the location of a village on the map and thought to himself that even if the villagers were afraid of their mage, he would still have to go and ask.
After all, he couldn't find any stone monument on the entire map.
Zhao Xu considered that the village was not far from here, so he walked there honestly. He did not dare to waste any more spell slots.
Just walking on the road, he realized more and more that this land seemed to be dead.
Completely devoid of any vitality.
The heat wave that comes from nowhere and scorches the living beings has completely destroyed all life that has not yet grown up.
Let alone trying to plant crops, pouring a bowl of water on the dry ground will only evaporate immediately.
After Zhao Xu walked for more than half an hour, he slowly approached the village closest to him.
Out of caution, he cast a first-level spell "Disguise" on himself.
This simple illusion can change him into different styles from clothing to body shape, and can even change his appearance and become taller or shorter.
Zhao Xu's original mage attire was indeed eye-catching, and he immediately transformed into a traveler.
However, after Zhao Xu approached the village, he found that there was no sound in the entire village.
He walked in cautiously, usually preparing spells.
A few days ago, he would not have dared to poke his head in alone without drawing up all his spells.
As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.
The three people who met by chance just now thought of shooting him to death without saying a word, even if it was because he was a spell caster, that was too much.
But now, Zhao Xu has a star cloak on him that is immune to ordinary weapons.
Even if he fights intentionally or unintentionally, he does still have some fighting ability. Magic weapons were not very common before this magical age, right
But the village in front of them was eerily quiet, as if no one existed, let alone the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs.
Even several wooden houses near the entrance of the village have their doors open.
Zhao Xu tried to walk into an empty room and search, and found that some of the belongings that could be easily taken away had been emptied, leaving mostly heavy wooden furniture that could not be moved away.
It was like an escape.
"Is there anyone there?" Zhao Xu tried to shout.
The "invisibility skill" on him is always ready to go.
If something goes wrong, he will immediately cast a spell and then take advantage of the chaos to escape from the battle.
As long as these villagers didn't react quickly enough to find paint or flour and sprinkle it all over him immediately, there was no hope of ever seeing him again.
Next, after Zhao Xu searched three or four more houses, he was basically sure that everyone in this village had fled.
Zhao Xu held a letter in his hand, which was written by a fleeing father to his son, telling him that his family was going to flee to the Molin Stone Monument in the mountains.
The priest told the people in their village that only by arriving there and making sacrifices could they be forgiven by the God of Fire.
Only in this way can the curse on this land be forgiven.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but fall into deep thought while holding the letter in his hand.
In later eras, the elemental gods basically disappeared completely.
Even the high-ranking fire element princes and the like only dare to huddle in the four-element plane.
Faced with the summons of the mages, they always come and go as they are called.
It was in this dark age that the elemental gods were still considered the overlords.
After reading it, Zhao Xu put the letter back on the table and waited for his real owner to arrive.
Then he withdrew and headed towards the mountain behind the village.
However, he felt heavy in his heart because the letter also contained an oracle from the god of fire -
Kill all wizards.
