The Truth of Magic

Chapter 172: Powerful Ring (3/3)

Views:

The next day, Zhao Xu returned to the surface of Mystra through the teleportation gate of the floating city.

This was also the first time he set foot on this land after many days.

For novice mages in the floating city, in order to complete tasks, they often have to travel between Mystra and the floating city through the portal.

Because Zhao Xu has a tight rhythm in the floating city and is basically arranged densely by Antinoya, he feels completely different from the idle player mages in the floating city.

Although Antinoya told Zhao Xu yesterday that the "Time Recall Talisman" is indeed not an artifact, even if it is difficult to make, it is still within the scope of rare objects.

Only those that can set all planes back a round of time can qualify as artifacts.

However, Zhao Xu was still very cautious at the moment and kept the amulet tightly to his chest.

This thing can be regarded as a magical object involving rules. With it, Zhao Xu doesn't have to worry about something unexpected happening to Wang Ningwei and Wang Ningwei, which will end the mission.

This was also the reason why Antinoya wanted to lend him this amulet.

As for the "Ghost Goggles" that Zhao Xu just got yesterday, he pinned them on his eyes, so that he looked like a mechanical watchmaker.

According to Antinoya's instructions, Zhao Xu was going to a "North Wind Dream" magic item shop, where he had another magic item.

But just after Zhao Xu came out of the Arcane Gate, he stood on the Central Street, looking at the crowd in front of him, and was confused for a moment.

Zhao Xu discovered that he actually didn't quite recognize Mystra's path.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu took out the original booklet directly from his backpack.

Howard's convenience bag has a full 225 liters of space, which is equivalent to 10 barrels of bottled water. Basically, it can accommodate whatever Zhao Xu wants to put in it.

At this time, Zhao Xu lowered his head and looked at the location of "North Wind's Dream" on the complicated map.

As the capital of magic, Mystra is most indispensable for shops selling various magic materials. Many mages even come to the alleys of the central street to find the magical items they want.

Even if it is a legendary item, I have heard that someone has bought it in these inconspicuous alleys.

After Zhao Xu looked for a few minutes, he roughly found the target location. The only thing was that it was a little remote.

However, Zhao Xu didn't think too much about it. He had experienced the situation where he had searched for the fortune teller before and ended up with the other person's death.

Now if he encounters any unexpected situation, he has nothing to fear now that he has stronger equipment.

"Zhongxia." Suddenly an exclamation came.

Zhao Xu turned around in surprise and saw Youyou sitting on the carriage whizzing by, sticking her head out and waving to him.

It's just that the carriage is moving forward rapidly, and Youyou can't get out of the car. She can only silently look away from Zhao Xu who is about to enter the alley.

Zhao Xu looked at Youyou, and the memories of the past floated in his heart. He also waved towards the other party until Youyou's carriage disappeared from sight.

Zhao Xu was relieved to think that Yoyo had finally arrived in this town, the base camp of the goddess of magic. This meant that Yoyo could continue her previous journey as a priest.

He had previously worried that after experiencing the experience of being brutally killed, Youyou and the others would abandon the tour in anger.

Since even Youyou is insisting, it goes without saying that others should follow suit.

Zhao Xu walked through three or four alleys until he reached a very remote corner.

Although in general legends, shops that contain many powerful magic items are usually hidden in unknown corners. In the magic items store in front of us, the paint on the wooden signboard in the corner has almost fallen off.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it's not managed well.

Zhao Xu touched the weapon attached to his body, checked the spell positions in his mind, and walked in calmly.

Unlike the dilapidated storefront outside, the shelves in the "North Wind's Dream" magic items store are stocked with various spell materials.

There are small ore balls used to cast the mage-killer called "Retarded Art", crystal marbles used to cast the "Peeping Magic Eye", and even iron powder used to cast the "Human Shrinking Art".

If Zhao Xu hadn't learned all kinds of first- and second-level spells and used most of them, he might not be able to recall a spell after seeing the same material.

Standing on the counter was a fat middle-aged woman. She glanced at Zhao Xu and continued working on the accounts in her hands. She asked, "Who introduced me?"

"Anti Noya." Zhao Xu said simply.

Suddenly, the fat woman wearing a purple silk skirt with a calm expression raised her head and stared deeply at Zhao Xu, "Since I was introduced by the other party, can you tell me your name?"

"Zhongxia, a level 3 mage." Zhao Xu said.

"Well, that's you, your things are here." At this time, the fat woman took out a package of things from under the counter, untied the restraints and poured the contents of the package on the counter.

It was a stack of parchment and a very ordinary silver ring.

Zhao Xu walked over and gently picked up the silver ring in his hand.

"What is this?" Zhao Xu asked.

Being able to dispense with the "Detect Magic" spell slot, he can naturally save as much as he can.

The fat woman glanced at Zhao Xu's "Goggles" and explained angrily: "Invisibility ring. You can enter the invisible state after activating it, and this has improved performance."

Zhao Xu immediately picked up the ring and looked at it, then put it directly on his finger.

He really didn't have the courage to commit suicide for the ring he picked up on the road, but the person in front of him could be considered reliable if Antinoya could arrange something for him.

Everyone can equip two rings, but any more will be useless.

After Zhao Xu put on the ring, he gently rubbed the surface of the ring and gave the command to start.

Suddenly, his whole body and his belongings slowly faded away, and the light passed directly through his body and hit the ground.

Until the end, Zhao Xu's entire body disappeared, as if it had never existed.

At this time, Zhao Xu raised his transparent hands to observe the effect of this spell.

Although he had demonstrated this spell before in the final scroll space and in the pulpit. But he still feels magical about this spell.

Even in the future era when earth's technology is advancing rapidly, this invisible effect technology has not yet been maturely applied.

"This ring is the latest product of Floating City." At this time, the middle-aged fat woman said.

"In the past, the invisibility ring produced by the mage himself could only last for 3 minutes each time it was activated because the caster level was only level 3."

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this. The duration of the "invisibility spell" is exactly 1 minute per caster level. He is currently a level 6 caster and can last for 6 minutes.

At this time, the fat woman continued: "Although the previous ring could be activated countless times a day, it had to put down the work at hand and restart it every 3 minutes, and the user feedback was not good. So now this new type of ring is launched. Invisibility Ring', it only needs to be activated once to remain invisible until you cancel the effect."

Zhao Xu wasn't surprised when he heard this.

This new "invisible ring" can be restarted in less than 3 minutes, which is indeed a huge improvement. At least this way he has enough protection in his sleep.

When he was following the 20 player mages, he didn't have to keep thinking about activating the ring.

It seems that this is the reason why Antinoya specially wanted to come here to receive the ring.

The only disadvantage of the second-level spell "invisibility" is that it will become invisible once it attempts to attack the enemy.

Only the fourth-level spell "Advanced Invisibility" can remain invisible while attacking.

However, invisibility is an "illusion" effect, so it itself will be restrained by various true seeing effects.

This is also the embarrassment of the "invisibility ring". It is expensive at 20,000 gold coins. By the time adventurers can afford it, most of the monsters they encounter will have true knowledge to some extent at the level they encounter.

Even invisibility itself is not a very reliable ability. Advanced adventurers such as rangers can see through the direction, but it is difficult to locate.

This spell is only visually invisible. Some footprints on the mud and the sound of walking cannot be covered up.

However, this cannot conceal its function as a low-level killer.

With this ring that can be activated infinitely, Zhao Xu can kill the 20 novice mages one by one in the jungle even without using the fireball magic wand.

"Okay, just go if you have nothing to do. Don't delay my business. The next route of those people's departure and the information about the bandits are all on this stack of parchment. Take your time and read it yourself." The fat woman in the shop whispered. He said, continuing to flip through his account book and do calculations.

Zhao Xu didn't take it seriously. After canceling the invisibility effect, he walked out of the door and then lowered his head to read the parchment in his hand. ���

"Don't look, that kid will definitely not be with us again." Eswig whispered to Wang Ningwei next to him.

"No, I'm just observing the companions around me." Wang Ningwei smiled at Eswig.

At this time, a male mage also came over. He asked diligently, "Ningwei, are you working hard? Why don't I rent a horse for you to ride on?"

Eswig, on the other hand, stared at the man in front of him like a fly, and said first, "No, we have the 'Summon Mount' spell, but we think the spell slot has no place to use it."

At this time, the man could only show an embarrassed smile. Although they were all born in the floating city, the spells they learned were very limited.

After seeing that Wang Ningwei was not as kind as before, the man also lowered his head and walked back to the corner, receiving smiles from several people around him. Seeing this scene, the man also looked at Eswig in annoyance.

Ever since Wang Ningwei met Eswig a few days ago, the two of them have been spending the whole day together, and their online and offline times have been synchronized.

This group of fans who had been pestering Wang Ningwei before could no longer get closer.

Suddenly, another male mage "Luo Lei" came over with a resolute look on his face, "Ningwei, do you have any thoughts on this mission?"

Wang Ningwei showed a trace of confusion, "What aspect of Luo Lei are you referring to?"

Eswig said angrily: "He's asking you if you have any hints for him. Let me put it this way, this time you are killing bandits openly, but secretly you are screening the floating city, and there will even be a follow-up later. I I can guarantee that the Floating City will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us."

After saying that, Eswig scanned the entire inn with her sharp eyes, "Maybe he will be invisible here, looking at us with a smile full of evil."

Standing in the corner, Zhao Xu, who was completely invisible, was flipping through the "Teleportation Ritual: Hrothgar's Journey" borrowed from the Legend Library, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this.

This girl is too keen.
