The Truth of Magic

Chapter 19: Combat strength direction

"Teacher, do you want to continue watching "Path of the Arcane" today?"

Zhao Xu asked. After flipping through the book the next day, he understood that it was really a specially processed magic book.

After reading this book and closing it, the content inside will change automatically, and new content will appear every time you open it.

If you want to retrieve the content you have read before, you only need to recite the relevant memory silently in your heart, and then open the book cover and it will automatically appear.

Zhao Xu had only seen this kind of books with built-in artificial intelligence retrieval technology in this life.

In his previous life, he had heard that some equipment could communicate with its owner.

Zhao Xu basically spent the past few days reading that book and lectures.

"No need." Antinoya said.

Even after getting along with her for a few days, Zhao Xu could not officially see through the face covered by the shadow of her cloak.

"In the past two days, the organization has had some objections to your future route."

Zhao Xu immediately perked up when he heard this. He didn't have the slightest burden of being a chess piece.

Living well is what he pursues.

"It's mainly because someone has come up with new ideas. This is because of your status as a dual elite character."

"Actually, Arthur also has the practice of not entering the advanced level, and pursuing pure mage and pure priest professions all the way. They are also one of the few pure professions who are not weak at all."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he understood that Fa Ye and Mu Ye Diao were indeed the ones who would not be too weak even if they had no way to advance.

"After the legend, the pure mage's expertise benefits are also very rich. And-"

Antinoya paused after saying this, "A pure mage can have more pure contact with magic, which is conducive to magic research."

"Therefore, some people in the organization proposed that you become a pure mage directly without pursuing short-term improvement in combat power."

Zhao Xu understood it at this time. After observing him for the past few days, he seemed to be able to be cultivated

Instead of taking the field route, become a researcher

But when Zhao Xu thought about it carefully, what Antinoya told him actually happened after he set foot in the floating city.

Therefore, the opinions of more people in the organization were actually formed in these two days.

Compared to three days ago, no one knew about Arthur's existence.

"We said before that we would decide your career path, but that was because we were afraid that you would waste your own advantages and advance to some rubbish advancements. You don't need me to use energy-absorbing spells on you to abolish your career level. In fact, our organization is still very free. , so this time I came here to ask you what you think."

"Do you want to pursue the advanced route of combat power, or go straight to being a pure mage and stay in the floating city to do research."

Listening to Antinoya's explanation word for word, Zhao Xu's hair suddenly shivered when he heard the name "energy absorption technique".

There are many negative states in Arthur, such as attribute damage, attribute absorption, energy absorption, dizziness, blindness, deafness, trembling, fear, panic, trance, confusion, fascination, fatigue, exhaustion, nausea, nausea, sluggishness, Stun, prone, grapple, suppress, entangle, shock, paralysis, immobilization, restraint, sleep, coma, petrification, paralysis, etc.

But among them, the thing that scares players the most is this energy absorption.

Energy absorption is a level nine arcane spell that can directly erase 2D4 (level 2-8) of the opponent's character level.

2D4 is the sum of two four-sided dice, and the value is between 2-8.

Anyone who encounters this spell will be heartbroken. If the character's level is not as high as the level absorbed, he will die directly.

If exceeded, the spell lasts for 24 hours before a saving throw is made for each level absorbed.

If the save succeeds, the negative level disappears. If the save fails, the negative level disappears, but the character is permanently reduced by 1 level.

Being permanently reduced by 1 level is the real punishment.

An extremely powerful friend of Zhao Xu's in his previous life was subjected to a lich's energy-absorbing spell. He failed all saves and fell directly into the mortal world, losing his power.

Therefore, people like Zhao Xu and others who rely on rank are afraid of avoiding these things.

Thinking that he might be involved in some kind of ideological dispute, Zhao Xu carefully considered his words and asked: "Instructor, may I ask, was it proposed by someone with a certain organizational orientation?"

"Strictly speaking, our final scroll is just a big force in the headquarters of the Arthur Mage Association. The goddess has prestige, but she does not have the final say. The proposal this time is the opinion of some old antique researchers at the association headquarters. They are in God I have been stuck on the subject of magic barrier for a long time, so I hope that someone like you who is born with both Sin and Occult skills will join me."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately felt relieved. After all, the researcher was not as quick as stabbing someone with a knife. He would probably not be remembered for rejecting the other party's kindness.

"I heard that Arthur can also practice both Sin and Occult cultivation with the advancement of the Mystic Master?" Zhao Xu suddenly remembered an incident in his previous life and asked.

Antinoya looked stern, and even Zhao Xu, who was in the shadow of the cloak, could vaguely feel the sharp gaze.

"The Mystic Master level has always been very secretive. I won't be surprised if you players find out about it in the future. But I didn't expect you to be able to gain access to it in just three days?"

Zhao Xu was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect that he kicked a rock because he had no intention of blowing water.

In fact, senior figures like Antinoya knew that Zhao Xu had Internet channels on Earth. This should have been announced by the gods. So for some of the Arthur content that Zhao Xu inexplicably brought up, Antinoya always gave him answers without questioning them.

"Are you wondering why I have questions?"

Zhao Xu nodded quickly.

"The Mystic Master level does not have any professional abilities. Its only function is that each level of its caster level can be superimposed with the levels of arcane spell casters and divine spell casters at the same time."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he suddenly realized that the occultist who had been praised to him in his previous life was actually hanging here.

A level 12 character who is a level 1 mage/level 1 priest/level 10 mystic is equivalent to casting spells like a level 11 mage and a level 11 priest.

Then what does his pair of elites mean

No, then wouldn’t he be able to do it too

But Antinoya immediately broke his illusion.

"The prerequisite for advancing to become a mystic is to be able to cast second-level arcane spells and second-level divine spells. At the same time, you two elites cannot advance to this profession."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu realized that this was where the trap was. It was an advancement that players could only come into contact with at level seven. How could he have heard of it just after the server started? No wonder he would be suspicious.

Level 2 arcana and level 2 divine spells indicate that the player must be a level 3 mage/level 3 priest, who are already level 6 characters. Even if they can work part-time as a level 10 advanced profession, reaching the maximum level, at level 16, Only then can you cast seventh-level arcane spells and seventh-level divine spells.

The pure mage now has an eighth-level spell in his possession, and even the next level, a ninth-level spell, is within reach.

One step at a time, one step at a time. If you directly generate a level 20 character, then the Mystic Master level is not bad. But if you start playing from level 1, Zhao Xu can definitely play this profession without any professional abilities. The pain is overwhelming.

This is also the biggest advantage of his double elite, watching the pot and eating from the bowl.

"Teacher, I will choose the combat direction." Zhao Xu has no need to worry about it anymore. He has two elites, so he must make good use of this advantage. If he doesn't choose the advanced combat direction, his choice of one in ten thousand will be wasted. Test number.

I received the signing text message today, I will write it down carefully. Thank you all for your comments and encouragement, thank you.
