The Truth of Magic

Chapter 171: Warlock Goggles (2/3)

Views:

As time goes by, the concentration of magical energy in the air gradually increases.

Antinoya's permanent "secret vision" can generally only detect the formed spell effects.

However, with her legendary mage's sensitivity, she had already felt a vortex of energy forming around Zhao Xu, gathering bit by bit with him as the center.

After those magical energy flows passed through Zhao Xu's body, they were rectified and vibrated again, and then scattered on another important star position in the ceremony.

Placed above the star position was Zhao Xu's "Star Cloak".

There are generally two ideas for choosing ritual items.

One is the risk-spreading type, in which various magic items have corresponding uses, so that even if some parts are damaged, the losses will not be heavy.

The other type is the risk-focused type. Zhao Xu chose "Star Cloak" as the item magic pet, which itself is an indispensable item.

Zhao Xu was fearless and continued to add more details to this cloak, making it the carrier of the ceremony.

In this way, it would be enough for Zhao Xu to take care of the safety of this cloak in the future.

Many players even hold the idea that people can die, but equipment cannot be lost.

Antinoya felt relieved when she saw that the "star cloak" was also emitting crystal clear light. She knew that Zhao Xu finally did not cause trouble this time.

After Antinoya breathed a sigh of relief, the hand that had been holding the "Time Rewind Talisman" loosened its grip.

Finally, as the hourglass in the corner keeps ticking, fine sand is sprinkled, and then the bottle is turned upside down, and the sand starts falling again, and this cycle is repeated four times.

Zhao Xu's eyes slowly opened, and the "star cloak" in front of him returned to its original state.

Zhao Xu directly grabbed the cloak and put it on his body, feeling the mysterious power coming from the cloak again.

[Adventurer Zhongxia equips "Star Cloak", caster level +1.]

After Zhao Xu then released the Iron Stone, he saw on his character card panel that the arcane caster level had become level 5, the priest's divine spell caster level had been level 3, and the dossier had been level 4.

His caster level was increased by 2 levels due to the iron stone and the ritual.

This time, the ceremony, which Zhao Xu directed and performed entirely from beginning to end, was finally a success.

"Okay." Antinoya yawned slightly. After sitting down for the past eight hours, she also felt a little sleepy.

"Then mentor, I'll take my leave first?" Zhao Xu secretly guessed that it was getting late now, probably close to three or four in the morning.

There weren't many spells he needed to prepare again tomorrow morning. Just go to the place designated by Antinoya to hand it over first and get another of his magic items.

"Well, wait a minute."

At this time, Antinoya walked up to Zhao Xu and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Zhao Xu was now more or less accustomed to the other party's idea of acting first and explaining later, so he rolled up his sleeves as instructed by Antinoya.

"What pattern do you want?"

"Pattern? Whatever you want."

Zhao Xu was a little surprised. Antinoya shouldn't be painting on his hands like a primary school student.

Antinoya stretched out her white fingertips and lightly touched Zhao Xu's arm.

Suddenly a wave of heat rushed in, and Zhao Xu felt a little burning and a little numb.

After Antinoya finished, she turned around and left, and the whole process was smooth and smooth.

At this time, on Zhao Xu's wrist, where an ordinary person would normally wear a watch, a small flower with six petals appeared.

This method is exactly the mark that Antinoya usually adds to her magic items.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but rub it with his hands and found that the pattern was like a tattoo and had penetrated deeply into the skin.

If he saw this cute little flower for Eswig, he would make her laugh to death.

However, after Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, he immediately regained his composure and thought about it.

"Guess what I just did. If you guess it correctly within 10 seconds, I can lend you this amulet for a while before you come back."

As she spoke, Antinoya took off the amulet she had just hung on her chest, hooked it on her fingertips and showed it to Zhao Xu.

On top of the amulet is a brass-colored chain, with a slender and narrow-mouthed hourglass connected to the bottom. The two ends of the hourglass are fastened with gold bases.

But Zhao Xu had no time to look further.

Antinoya can carry it with her personally instead of putting it in her bag.

He didn't even dare to guess the value. If he wasn't careful, he could easily underestimate it ten times.

But there is no doubt that it must be powerful enough that Antinoya would find it useful.

The moment the flowers appeared, Zhao Xu examined the state of his whole body.

So he didn't even hesitate at all, and said as soon as Antinoya finished speaking: "Make magic tattoos."

After hearing Zhao Xu's reply, Antinoya's eyes lit up, and she was finally satisfied with Zhao Xu's reaction.

Making magic tattoos is a second-level arcane skill. Each person can have up to three tattoos on their body.

There are three levels of tattoo power, a total of 8 types. As the caster level increases, higher level tattoos can be cast.

From the simplest to increase the defense level by 1 level and dodge bonus, to the most powerful "caster level +1", they are all the effects of spells.

Zhao Xu looked at his caster level, which had become level 6, and understood that this was the strongest level of effect that Antinoya had chosen.

When Zhao Xu learned this spell in the final scroll space, he also cast it on himself.

It's just that the effect of "caster level +1" requires a caster level of 13 or above.

Although this does not require a 13th level mage, Zhao Xu has no way to achieve it, so he has never thought of improving through this spell.

Unexpectedly, Antinoya had just released this spell for him.

However, Antinoya's question was obviously not just about the name of the spell.

Zhao Xu also quickly added, "Teacher, you used the 'supernatural spell' ability, and then combined it with the spell delay effect."

"It can be considered as progress now."

Zhao Xu wiped his sweat. Fortunately, when he blurted it out, he still noticed that the countdown time of this spell was a full "48 hours."

After the time is up, the tattoo will disappear, and the natural spell effects will also disappear.

The casting time for making a magic tattoo is ten minutes, and the execution process is also the process of getting the tattoo, and the duration of the spell is 24 hours.

Moreover, this spell itself requires tattoo needles and special ink materials for tattoos, but Antinoya just pressed it lightly in less than a few seconds without using any materials.

So Zhao Xu guessed that the other party used the spell guardian's professional ability - "supernatural spell" just like when he used the wish spell before.

This ability can turn spells into supernatural abilities. On the one hand, the casting time is reduced to less than 6 seconds. On the other hand, spell equipment such as tattoo needles and tattoo ink can be omitted accordingly.

Zhao Xu could only look at this with envy. He had to be at level 9 to gain this ability.

At that time, when he casts spells, he no longer has to bring a bunch of silly spell materials.

In particular, the "Spider Walking" among the second-level spells requires the caster to swallow a spider to gain the spider's vertical climbing ability.

Zhao Xu thought to himself that he couldn't do this for the spell. Anyway, if he really wanted to use it, he would spend 1 potential point to simulate the "casting without materials" feat, or use a magic scroll to cast the spell.

As for the duration of the "Create Magic Tattoo" spell, which was increased from 24 hours to 48 hours, Antinoya naturally paired it with "Spell Delay" to double the duration.

During the next two days, Zhao Xu was a "second-level mage" whose spell effects reached level 6 as a caster.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he also took the unknown amulet from Antinoya's hand.

"Teacher, what is the effect of this amulet?" Zhao Xu opened the brass chain of the amulet and pondered.

"It's really troublesome. Every time I feed the spoon into your mouth, I have to explain to you what you eat today." Antinoya complained angrily. She threw a pair of goggles from her backpack to Zhao Xu .

"In the future, you will have to identify the magic items yourself." Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu looked at the goggles that were thrown over. It consisted of two parts. One part was a golden frame with lenses, and the other part was an ear clip connected by a chain.

Zhao Xu immediately put on the goggles and looked at the talisman in front of him through it, but there was no reaction.

"This thing is called mechanism goggles. It costs 1,500 gold coins. I'll deduct it from your apprentice salary later." After Antinoya briefly calculated the account for Zhao Xu, he directly found a soft sofa to sit down. Obviously She was already a little sleepy.

"If you use the 'Detect Magic' spell through these goggles, you can obtain the effect of the identification spell in disguise."

Zhao Xu originally complained that Antinoya explained so much, so why not tell him about the effect of the talisman.

Just after hearing the second half of Antinoya's words, Zhao Xu couldn't help but stare at the goggles in surprise.

Appraisal, a first-level spell that can detect the abilities of magic items, requires 100 gold coins of pearls as spell material.

Detection Magic is a first-level spell that does not require any spell materials.

In other words, through these 1,500 gold coins of magic items, all his future identification skills will be equivalent to free of charge.

Although Zhao Xuri will master "supernatural spells" in the future, he will not need to spend 100 GP by then.

But that is "then" after all.

Zhao Xu suddenly had the idea of setting up a stall on the street of Mystra for a fee to identify magic items, so he charged 100 gold coins per time, which others thought was the cost of the materials.

As for the 25 gold coins casting service fee, Zhao Xu kindly gave it to him for free.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Xu still honestly used "detection magic" on the talisman in front of him.

How much would it shock him to let Antinoya carry something with her

[Adventurer Zhongxia casts "Detection Magic" and obtains the "Identification Magic Effect" through "Mechanism Goggles".]

Immediately afterwards, the effect of the magic item appeared directly, and Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
