Looking at Zhao Xu's actions, Shen Nian, who had also practiced the "Spell Identification" skill, had already seen the dynamic bar prompt and knew that the other party was using "Detection Magic".
Just like many "rookies" who have just arrived in the grocery market.
At this time, a male mage player from the adjacent booth looked over and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, as if he was recalling his past self.
After the middle-aged man who took away Shen Nian's two bottles of "anti-venom" disappeared, he took over the stall.
Because the liar also rolled him a one-ring arcane scroll, he could only use the remaining lease term of this stall to pay off the debt.
"It's useless for you to do this." The mage player reminded Zhao Xu, "You are in an ordinary town, where there are not even level 1 mages, and you can still retrieve the treasure with a zero-level spell 'Detection Magic'."
"But in the grocery market here, there are more than a dozen stalls that have mage-owned shares behind them. Therefore, items that can emit magical auras have been screened for a long time."
Magic items will emit their own corresponding level of "magic aura".
The intensity of the aura is determined by the caster level of the magic item.
Generally, magic items that require a caster level of 5 or below will emit a "dim" level of magical aura after the creation is completed, which is invisible to the naked eye, but can be detected using detection spells.
As for the "artifact" level, it will emit a "dazzling" level of magic aura, just like shining a bright flashlight directly into the eyes.
It's just that at that time, players generally just shed tears of happiness.
If it is a "magic weapon", in addition to its own "magic aura", about 30% of it will be able to emit "light" visible to the naked eye, just like the zero-ring magic "Light Technique" blessing.
This is also the reason why holding a "magic weapon" is more popular. From now on, the alchemy item "Lighting Rod" worth 2 gold coins is saved.
But after hearing what the other party said, Zhao Xu didn't say much.
Even in Mystra, he knew that some powerful chambers of commerce directly found five-ring mages to perform "magic constancy" to solidify the "detection magic" directly.
Let the originally difficult procedure of selecting magic items in the initial stage become a repetitive operation on the assembly line.
Even if the "Spell Identification" skill is strong enough, as long as you can pass the 30th level difficulty challenge, you can also get some information about magic items through the feedback from the "source of knowledge".
Although "Detect Magic" is only a zero-level spell, it can learn the "Spell School" category, so the mage can often judge a lot of things through this.
For example, summoned alien creatures, as projections themselves, are not real entities. When detected by "detection magic", they will show the characteristics of "conjuration system".
And Zhao Xu also knows that once a magic item is damaged or even affected in a special way, the aura will be covered up.
Like a ring of illusion "Magic Aura", the duration is calculated in days. It can mask the magical aura of items and fool those "detection spells".
Zhao Xu had put rare magic items on himself before.
When ordinary people want to find magic items, they mostly start with these "suspected items" that cannot emit "magic aura".
After all, an "appraisal technique" that can pronounce a death sentence is too expensive. The service fee for hiring someone to cast the spell is 25 gold coins, and the material consumption fee is 100 gold coins.
And many times, the items that are appraised are often not even worth the service fee of 25 gold coins, not to mention the material cost of 100 gold coins, so they can only be repackaged and circulated in the market to regain blood.
"You think this is a 'Bronze Griffin' statue, right?" Suddenly Shen Nian said to Zhao Xu, "No need to waste your efforts, a fully finished 'Bronze Griffin' statue costs tens of thousands of gold coins."
This is Zhao Xu, who has just verified the results, with a hint of curiosity.
He thought that the other party had never come into contact with this kind of magic item, so he would display it here for sale.
From this point of view, Shen Nian had suspected that this was a "Bronze Griffin" before
Her brother Shen Ze has become a paladin. Although he will gain the ability to recruit special mounts from the heaven at level 5 in the future, he will receive a "powerful mount" presented by the "official heaven" and will be able to walk without legs from then on.
However, the challenge level of the gryphon itself is as high as level 4. It is definitely a powerful help to the player group in the early stage, even if it is ridden by the paladin, it will not be inferior in the mid-term.
Not to mention that professions such as rangers and druids, which have the ability of "animal companions", can seamlessly integrate this magical equipment.
Unlike Zhao Xu, this equipment can only be used as an ordinary summon.
Seeing Zhao Xu's confused eyes, Shen Nian blushed for a moment and didn't know whether to explain.
The mage player at the booth next to him saw this scene and reminded with a smile: "Will you look through that base?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu turned over the statue in his hand.
When most people get a mysterious item, their first reaction is to carefully search for clues on the item to see if there are one or two activation passwords hidden there.
Only a mage like Zhao Xu, who can freely use the zero-level magic "detection magic" and then use the "machine goggles" as a first-level "identification skill", can be so unreasonable and directly use magic to judge. .
It's like picking up a mysterious pill on the earth. Others have to make various guesses based on its shape, search for nearby packaging, and even risk death to try it.
This is what many adventurers who get the mysterious "magic potion" do.
But Zhao Xu, who possesses magic, has already used magic to obtain the "component analysis report" of the pill and knows what it is.
Only then did Zhao Xu notice that there were obvious signs of damage at the bottom of the statue. Logically speaking, if there was a password, it would be the most appropriate place to place it on this base.
That is to say, the password has just been obliterated.
"This is the lowest level of 'counterfeiting' in the grocery market. Deliberately destroying passwords to make buyers think that our sellers are stupid and can't figure out the trick. Then they go back and try to find a universal password to crack, or even There are also those who deliberately spend hundreds of gold coins to authenticate, trying to directly obtain the real password."
"Then they'll be dumbfounded and realize it's just a broken piece of copper."
"Hey, there are basically a few of these statues in every household in this grocery market. It's a pity that there are not enough fools recently, so these things are unsalable." The mage player was obviously bored with selling things, so he deliberately Explained to Zhao Xu.
But at this time, Shen Nian looked angry and said with a blushing face: "My brother is not a fool."
"Yes, yes, there is obviously a statue like this in my sister's stall. He can also spend 50 gold coins to buy another similar statue. It can only be said to be bad luck." The mage player couldn't help but continue. Make complaints.
At this time, Zhao Xu also understood.
As a paladin, Shen Ze, as a spokesperson for defending justice, was actually deceived once when he was low-level, and spent money to buy a fake bronze griffin statue.
It is estimated that when he came back and saw similar "fake products" in his sister's stall, he realized that he had not missed something, but had paid a wave of IQ tax.
Later, Shen Ze achieved the core position of the "Holy Guard" Knights, a force in the middle of the church, in the temple of the God of Justice and Punishment in Winter City, and was basically the confirmed candidate for "leader" in the future.
It can be said that he is the giant figure of the Church of the God of Justice in Winter City, and he can be regarded as one of the core members of the church.
Basically, after death, they will be taken to the Kingdom of God, waiting to be reincarnated into eternal life.
Sure enough, every big shot suffered a lot when he was young.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of this.
"What level is your brother?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask.
Logically speaking, a first-level paladin wouldn't worry about his mount so quickly, and he hadn't even earned any money for the saddle.
Riding charge is an extremely powerful melee method for Arthur. Especially after the cooperation of the specialty chain, the entire damage output will reach a terrifying level.
Once on the canyon, an iron stone with high defense and full body armor relied on a spear to rush the Luo Ya people in the battle formation into pieces. In the end, Zhao Xu had to use the "magic missile" that ignored the armor to kill the opponent. .
"He just reached level 2 yesterday." Shen Nian explained.
At this time, the player who had been reluctant to interrupt was suddenly so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He looked at Shen Nian in surprise, "No, isn't your brother the Warlock who just canceled the Warlock account at the beginning of the month and became a Paladin? Why is it only more than half a year old?" Is Yue already at Level 2?"
At this time, Shen Nian grinned slightly and said, "He must be quite talented. He was recruited to the Falling Star Lake just after level 2 yesterday."
"Let me go, your brother Rong Nian's upgrade speed is pretty good. If he had read the 'Ten Commandments for Beginners' earlier and given up being a warlock and became a paladin earlier, wouldn't he have to break through level 3 now and break history?" ." The mage player on the side couldn't help but admire him.
"How could that be possible? There is also a level 4 expert among the mage who jumped one level in the air and looked down at us ordinary players. He is guarding the level list there." Shen Nian quickly pointed out this point.
"Hey, I don't know how that big guy leveled up. I'm a novice like me who is still in the apprenticeship level. I don't even know where to enter. There is really no comparison between people. Now they are all trying to persuade me not to do it. Just choose the specialization route." The mage player lowered his head and sighed.
When Zhao Xu heard the other party's conversation, he couldn't help but asked: "Ten Commandments for Beginners?"
I didn't even have time to ask about the keyword "Falling Star Lake".
When Shen Nian heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes, my brother saw the last commandment, 'If you are willing to dedicate yourself to your faith, be elected as a paladin.' His character will have to be debated for another half month."
Hearing these words, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Originally, he thought that he had succumbed to "Mystra" and the butterfly storm brought by it would have minimal impact.
Now it seems that those few posts have caused huge repercussions.
Shen Ze, an acquaintance of Winter City in his previous life, chose the paladin route half a month in advance because of his intentional or unintentional post.
How many other players in the world have changed their original choices because of his post
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the "Bronze Griffin" statue in his hand and was about to explain.
Suddenly, a kid selling newspapers on the street ran in and shouted: "Something big happened. A mysterious three-ring mage just appeared in the drunken hall. A fireball spell killed Wolan and his gang. Where is Erjing? Now after their resurrection, they are hiding in the temple and dare not show their faces."
Continue in the afternoon.
