The Truth of Magic

Chapter 208: The place of divine punishment (1/3)

Views:

Ever since Zhao Xu landed in Mystra's Legend Library, he basically spent his nights there.

In that hotel room, he followed the method taught by Ling Luduo in the library, took holy water and sprinkled six drops on the four corners of the bed in turn in the form of an evening ceremony.

Then he took out a specially customized bedding from his backpack. The front and back of the bedding were covered with ritual circles drawn with pen and ink.

Then Zhao Xu put a piece of mint-flavored candy in his mouth, rested his head on three borrowed magic books, smelled the faint aroma of paper and ink from the incense burner at the foot of the bed, and lay on the bed slowly. Slowly fell asleep.

When Zhao Xu woke up, he had completed the ritual and his soul drifted into the "Legendary Library" in the floating city.

This ritual consumes very little "holy water", mainly the special mint lozenges, which can stimulate the spirit in his brain. Zhao Xu only has dozens of them in his hand, and each one is equivalent to a soul teleportation to " Tickets to the "Legendary Library".

As for the reusable ritual array on the bedclothes, every seven or eight times, he had to re-infuse his spirituality and copy it himself with special materials.

So every time Zhao Xu arrived at the legendary library, it was a costly affair.

Only after he possesses high-level spells in the future will he be able to reach here with just one spell.

Recently, Zhao Xu came to the library. Lu Duo, who looked like a little girl, kept stepping on the bench, taking out the magic books one by one and wiping them clean. She was humming and doing things that could be solved with just one spell. Have fun doing it.

"You seem very happy?" Lu Duo was holding a copy of "Dragon War" at this time, and when he was about to stuff it back, he saw Zhao Xu's look and couldn't help but ask.

"No." Zhao Xu walked calmly to a bookshelf that he had not read before.

"When I realize that the seeds I sow unintentionally will bloom one day, I naturally look forward to them growing vigorously."

When Zhao Xu posted his first post on the forum, he never thought he would post a second one.

In his thinking, he tends to let players use resurrection stones in exchange for experience.

It is better to die once than to say it a thousand times.

This is Arthur's hardest truth. In fact, Zhao Xu's posts can at best educate some smart people, and most of the rest will not fall into any pitfalls that should be stepped on.

But he didn't expect that with just a few posts, he would become Cui Lu's idol.

In the past, Zhao Xu knew that most of the worship from others was because of their own intentions, and more importantly, they wanted to deal with him to get more information.

So he didn't agree to any of the entire row of studio applications in the friend application.

But Cui Lu is someone he knows very well. She is not the kind of green tea who deliberately takes advantage of others and clings to her.

This means that she simply appreciates the few posts shared by Zhao Xu.

This made Zhao Xu feel a little relieved that his efforts were not in vain.

After all, these days, there are too many people who want to beat them up after they have eaten everything.

Zhao Xu, who had dealt with several property division cases in his previous life, knew this very well.

And more importantly, he needs a channel to influence Cui Lu.

Only in this way can Cui Lu be able to play a role in the battle of "Falling Star Lake" that will break out in the next week and shorten the accumulation time.

It also pulled Zhang Qi out of the whirlpool of death.

"Hey, Zhongxia, why don't you continue reading that book "Transportation Ritual"?"

Lu Duo saw that Zhao Xu had stuffed the classics in his hands back on the bookshelf, and couldn't help but become curious. It stands to reason that the other party would not be able to finish reading the magic classics in four or five days.

This is also the materialization deadline she set for the other party.

Zhao Xu was able to take out the books in the "Legendary Library" in Arthur's main material plane.

It was by pleasing Lu Duo that he obtained the authority to materialize the magic book from the other party, allowing him to read it in Arthur's world.

Basically, when his soul returns to its proper place and wakes up, the books he chooses to borrow will appear next to him, and will automatically disappear once they expire.

According to Lu Duo's request, Zhao Xu can borrow up to three books at a time. If they are not due, he will have to fall asleep with those classics in the ceremony, bring them back and return them, forming a one-time destruction.

So Lu Duo was very curious that Zhao Xu gave up all three classics at once.

One of the classics about high-level devils was clearly borrowed by the other party just last night.

Her eyes followed Zhao Xu's figure to a bookshelf, and finally landed on the classic that Zhao Xu reached for.

She immediately said angrily: "Hey, Zhongxia, you are cheating. How could you go out of your way to turn over the answers before the test?"

"What happens between scholars cannot be called cheating."

Zhao Xu ignored Lu Duo's questioning and took down the book "Details of Arthur's Top 100 Demiplane Secret Realms" which was as thick as two fists wide.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, he has clearly seen that the short Luduo is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person, and will not really be serious with him.

Most of the backbone mage class in the floating city, that is, the "mentors" who serve as researchers and teachers, are eager to queue up smoothly into the half-plane secret realm of the "Scavenger Cave".

The free expertise is definitely a first-class good deal in Arthur.

Even with the mage's professional ability, you can only obtain 4 metamagic feats at level 20. The window period for being able to obtain them once every 5 levels is really too long.

However, when they have accumulated enough merits to rank up, they will find that the only information about the target is the simple name "Scavenger Cave".

Even this may not be the correct reference.

This demiplane allows those who successfully enter the challenge to obtain the "Iron Will" feat reward, which is crazy enough.

It also made it a secret from now on, and all news was blocked by the floating city.

From now on, the words are no longer lost, and even the memories in my mind are slowly fading away.

Zhao Xu was reading the book "Details of the Secret Realm of Demiplane" in his hand, and he was filled with emotion when he saw this secret.

No wonder he had never heard of such a magical existence in his previous life.

Because the secret itself is influenced by magic, trying to erase it from human minds.

It's not that that half of the plane is valuable or contains any secret treasures, but that it has a characteristic - it can only do five things.

As long as more than five people enter, the demiplane itself will be invaded and lose its power for a year and a half.

In order to prevent mages from hearing its legend, they would always teleport or enter through other channels, causing the secret realm to become ineffective.

So Mystra simply started from the source, relying on the power of legendary spells to slowly cover up the truth about the existence of this demiplane.

In the end, the forces that still know about the existence of this demiplane will also get quotas to enter every year.

Seeing the reminder that this matter was only five, Zhao Xu also understood why only three people were allowed to enter at a time, and the remaining one spot was naturally reserved for the staff who went in to rescue.

The interior of this demiplane is almost out of the control of the floating city.

The kind that kills people.

In other words, if the floating city dares to intervene, those involved will naturally not be able to get a real trial, and thus will not be able to awaken their true expertise.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

After Lux came out of the temple, she began to fall into a deep sleep. It would take more than a week before she could recover from the overdraft caused by the battle with the "Abyss Demon".

He won't be able to take advantage of it for a while.

He continued to squat and read the details about that half of the plane.

This is why Luduo just accused him of running away in advance.

Under the premise that no one could obtain the inside information about that half of the plane, Zhao Xu opened the authority to access information in the "Legendary Library".

However, Zhao Xu also had too many things to do. Next, he had to find the "third notebook", pay attention to the "Battle of Falling Star Lake", and search for the relics brought back by Andy's ancestor.

As a bronze-level time manager, he had no choice but to compress the adventure time in the "Scavenger Cave".

But even so, he is much more comfortable than those novice mages. Most novice mages are still interpreting spells and copying spells honestly.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu realized that most of the content at the back of the classic was missing. He couldn't help but look at Lu Duo, suspecting that the other party was up to something.

"Don't look at me." At this time, Luduo turned her head to the side contemptuously, "You see there is already the limit."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu closed the book in his hand.

Anyway, he got the basic information. At least it was worth spending one special mint lozenge to get here.

Zhao Xu was not stupid enough to argue with Lu Duo.

He knew that this was a screening test for Wang Ningwei and Eswig, but not for him.

The association hopes that he will successfully obtain this "iron will" expertise.

But neither Antinoya nor Leian told him the details of the cave.

You must know that Leian clearly wanted to cheat him in the Forest of Whispers before, but he was just intervened by a mysterious external force.

But now, even Lu Duo in front of him stopped him from looking at it.

This shows that knowing the details of the entire "Scavenger Cave" is not conducive to his awakening.

This also made Zhao Xu continue to raise the alert level for that half of the plane.

Whether it was the description of the risk of death recorded in the classics at the beginning, or his discovery that the association seemed unable to exert too much force on that demiplane.

All of this shows that the demiplane is not that simple.

"Zhongxia, let me give you a hint."

At this time, Lu Duo seemed to be covering up the rest of the story. She was a little afraid that Zhao Xu would be angry with her, and she also felt a little regretful. She quickly explained: "That was the 'torture place' before the God of Death, Naraku, became a god."

"Dong-"

[Adventurer Zhongxia, you came into contact with the "Secret of God" and fell into a state of deafness for 3 rounds (18 seconds)]

In an instant, the world fell into peace.
