The Truth of Magic

Chapter 191: The Land of Death (2/3)

Views:

In the third cupboard, there is a small piece of light blue animal-like skin. It looks ordinary, but it seems to be alive.

Even when Zhao Xu looked at it, he felt a little unsteady on the light crossbow in his hand.

This kind of thing actually appears in the chest of drawers

Why don't those death priests carry them with them

It's a complete waste of resources.

At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but glance back at the "Severe Injury" scroll in his backpack, and suddenly felt that this damage-fixing spell actually made some sense.

Zhao Xu had seen this piece of skin on Cui Lu before, so he recognized it.

As a ranger with a weak escape ability, Cui Lu was able to successfully survive until she crossed the earth and became a strong person, partly because she received a magical skin in the early stage.

Energy-inhibiting skin!

At this moment, Zhao Xu released the "Detection Magic" without saying anything, and used the "Mechanism Goggles" on his eyes to identify the outer skin.

Immediately, the information about the light blue skin appeared in Zhao Xu's mind, which indeed confirmed his judgment.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but clenched his fist immediately.

The greatest value of the energy-suppressing skin is that it is a mountable item. Like Ioun Stone, it does not occupy any equipment slots.

Arthur's equipment slots have very strict restrictions. Due to the principle of spell operation, once two magic items of the same part are equipped at the same time, only one of them can occupy the circuit and take effect.

Each adventurer can only equip one piece of [head] equipment, and Zhao Xu will only reserve this position for the "intelligence scarf" in the future.

Downward is the [eyes], usually glasses or goggles. Zhao Xu is currently equipped with "Mechanism Goggles", a piece of equipment that can convert detection magic into identification magic.

Next is the [neck]. The chest is usually equipped with necklaces, amulets, badges, etc. Zhao Xu is currently wearing the "Time Rewind Amulet" lent to him by Antinoya.

Next is the [shoulder], which is usually a cloak or cape. Zhao Xu is naturally equipped with the small artifact "Star Cloak".

Then there are the sacrificial robes and shirts for the [inner body], and the robes and armor for the [outer body]. Zhao Xu doesn't have them yet.

The middle [waist] can be equipped with a belt.

The limbs are gloves for the hands, wrist guards for the arms, and boots for the feet. Among them, Zhao Xu wears "teleportation boots" on his feet.

Then you can wear two rings on your hands [finger], and Zhao Xu wears an "invisible ring".

It can be said that there are eleven parts in total, two of which are the finger parts, which add up to twelve positions where equipment can take effect.

Zhao Xu was only at level 3 at the moment, but the thigh he held was thick enough, so he had already collected a total of 5 pieces of equipment.

Even among the players, from the perspective of magic equipment, he is already far ahead.

Not to mention that after the equipment is converted into gold coins, even Wang Ningwei, who looks extremely wealthy, may not be as rich as him.

Once Zhao Xu reaches level 9, basically all twelve equipment slots on his body will be filled.

If you want to improve at that time, you have to give up the previous items.

Therefore, magic items such as "energy-suppressing skin" that are not included in the equipment position are unaffordable for ordinary people.

But for a future rich mage like Zhao Xu, it is definitely useful.

At this time, Zhao Xu gently put the piece of skin on the back of his hand. He was numb immediately, and then the whole piece of skin merged directly under his arm, and a blue light slowly penetrated into his whole body.

After flashing for several seconds, Zhao Xu's entire face returned to normal, no longer bluish as before.

That magical skin has protected his whole body, as if he had an extra layer of mobile phone cover.

At this time, Zhao Xu touched the back of his hand again and could no longer feel anything strange.

The "Energy Suppressing Skin" and the "Ioun Stone" both appear in the "Mounted Items" column of his character card.

At this time, Zhao Xu was still in a dangerous situation, but he did not try to commit suicide to test the effect of the energy-suppressing skin.

This skin can be activated by "intuitive action" three times a day, and the damage caused by "spells" and "spell-like abilities" in that round will be minimized.

In other words, if a level 5 mage throws a 5D6 (5-30 HP damage) fireball, Zhao Xu will only receive 5 HP damage in that round.

Everything is calculated based on the minimum value.

For spells like Magic Missile that do 2-5HP damage, he will only take 2HP damage.

Basically, in the low-level state, the danger of spells to Zhao Xu was reduced by one level.

In other words, he can escape randomness.

For every spell, he could determine the damage value the moment it was thrown.

This is what means more to him.

At the same time, he also has the "Star Cloak" that resists physical damage. The two work together, and Zhao Xu's physical and magic defense capabilities in both dimensions have been improved by more than one level.

After being stimulated by this chest of drawers, Zhao Xu became excited and continued to explore the remaining chests of drawers.

There was also a wave of "mutant spiders" emerging among them. But this time the opponent was killed by him directly through the heart. Zhao Xu, who had picked up the money, now fired a crossbow arrow worth one silver coin, which was also very tough.

However, most of the drawers were empty, and two of them were stuffed with a stack of manuscripts. However, as soon as Zhao Xuda picked them up, the entire stack of manuscripts could not hold up and fell to pieces.

In the last remaining cupboard, Zhao Xu's most valuable harvest was just a pile of antique gold coins.

He didn't have any valuation skills, and now he didn't dare to waste it rashly, using spells to improve his skill level.

Therefore, the price of these gold coins from the last era must be appraised by someone after they go out.

It's a pity that the identification technique cannot play a role in this aspect.

After the search was completed, Zhao Xu stood up again and walked towards the corridor of the foyer.

The "Eternal Flame" torch in the corner has remained as good as new for hundreds of years and is worthy of the 50 gold coins material cost for casting the spell.

After leaving the banquet restaurant, Zhao Xu discovered that this was indeed the living area, and the one next to it had the sign "Kitchen" hanging on it.

The kitchen was equipped with an iron gate, which was bolted shut with a crossbar on the outside.

Zhao Xu didn't understand, but after being stimulated by the chest of drawers, Zhao Xu also planned to search the entire room.

He gently opened the kitchen door bolt and was about to stick his head in when he suddenly smelled a stench.

After reacting, Zhao Xu kicked his legs hard and quickly retreated towards the restaurant.

The moment he dodged, a black shadow swooped out from inside and hit the ground hard.

Zhao Xu took a closer look at this time and saw that it was a ghoul with rotten skin, exuding a stench, and a highly rugged figure, and he could clearly see various bone shapes.

Zhao Xu was sure that the two women couldn't help but gag when they saw this scene.

This ghoul, indeed, makes me feel disgusting whenever I look at it.

The other party now opened his eyes like burning coals, and there was an indescribable sense of evil in the deep-set eye sockets.

"Bang", "bang" several times.

Immediately afterwards, four other ghouls also jumped out.

They looked at Zhao Xu with ferocious looks on their faces, but they did not dare to act rashly.

The person in front of me was too calm.

"Fireball!"

At this moment, without saying a word, Zhao Xu took the eternal wand in his hand and released this most typical energy-shaping magic.

In an instant, the flamboyant flame ball hit behind the ghouls.

Before they had time to react, the entire space was covered in waves of fire.

The scorching flames engulfed the ghouls one by one.

The flames created by plastic energy come and go quickly.

In less than two or three seconds, the whole air was still filled with the smell of sulfur, but not even a trace of fire could be seen.

In front of Zhao Xu lay five "ghouls" that had been killed by the fireball technique. They had all become charred black and would break into pieces at any moment.

When he saw this scene, he shook his head slightly and stepped directly over the ghouls who had not even had time to attack.

The attack of the ghoul itself is paralyzing. Once an ordinary person is entangled, it may even be paralyzed to death.

As for Zhao Xu, the ghoul's natural weapons cannot be regarded as magic weapons and are ineffective against him.

But Zhao Xu was also disgusted by those ghouls, and naturally he didn't want them to fall on him.

At this time, Zhao Xu didn't have the capital to throw another fireball spell into the kitchen to explore the way. After a while, he used a wooden stick to open the re-closed door, and then looked inside.

At first glance, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel angry.

The entire kitchen still has the same classical layout as it did hundreds of years ago, but all the stoves are covered with scratches, and all the pots and pans have fallen to the ground.

Only food without corruption.

Think again of the gate that was just bolted.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but show a look of sympathy at this time, looking at the dead ghouls on the ground.

Naturally, a noble priest would not cook the meal himself.

Even if they have magic to make delicious food, they will not waste it like this, unless they are making food with status-enhancing effects for combat.

This means that these ghouls are all cooks, servants and even believers who once cooked for the priests.

After the priests of the God of Death left, they were locked inside and slowly starved to death. In the end, those who survived or even died became undead creatures - ghouls.

At this time, Zhao Xu had no intention of going in to explore. He glanced at the withered bones on the ground and turned around to leave.

The only thing he made up his mind was that if he really died in the future, he would put a "protection against evil" on himself before he died.

Otherwise, if you die, you will have to become an undead creature, and you will have no peace for the rest of your life.

Zhao Xu continued to walk forward. This time he skipped the study rooms, bedrooms, conference rooms and other rooms beside him, and walked towards the end.

After discovering that there might still be undead creatures here, Zhao Xu chose to conduct a global search first.

Until finally, Zhao Xu reached the end of the corridor. He had just passed by more than ten rooms and had a rough idea of the layout of this living area.

At the end of the corridor is a gate without any sign or mark.

It was also only half-covered and not locked.

Zhao Xu looked at the complicated patterns on the gate and couldn't help but think about it, secretly thinking about its meaning.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu lightly kicked with his foot while pointing the wand in his hand forward.

The light accompanied by the eternal fire torch in his hand broke through the darkness ahead.

Zhao Xu saw—

A total of thirteen sarcophagi are located in this hall, and with the dark curtains above, the atmosphere is solemn.

Each sarcophagus has an introduction engraved on it.

Sick, pastor of the Eight Rings, died on June 13, the year of his death.

Tams, priest of the Seventh Circle, died on June 13th, year of death.

Endemok, pastor of the Nine Rings, died on June 13, the year of his death.

Zhao Xu looked all the way to the front.

On the wall of this burial place, there is a line of words written in blood-like paint -

I only wish that my Lord will live after death.
