The Truth of Magic

Chapter 224: Divination (2/5)

Views:

After Zhao Xu used the invisibility spell to leave the grocery square, he rushed directly towards the Mage Association's headquarters in Winter City.

After he left Mystra to find the altar where the demon was hiding, he was finally sent to a hotel in a small town to rest because there was no mage association there.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu could rely on his identity as a mage and apply for accommodation through a nearby magic association.

In addition to the much lower price for one night's stay, the Mage Association itself means enough confidentiality.

He is wearing a robe and a giant scythe behind his back. This combination of features is really dazzling.

The newsboy just mentioned that he can cast three-ring spells. When the other party points out the giant scythe, the mage apprentice and Shen Nian will understand that the three-ring mage who harvested the lives of Wolan and others Just stand in front of them.

In Winter City, everything moves slowly. Zhao Xu previously sent an application for road repairs to the city hall, and the approval process took a year and a half just to be transferred to the city lord's palace for final arbitration.

However, gossip in Winter City travels faster than anyone else.

Zhao Xu, who had seen such urine in his previous life, knew that no later than night at the latest, everyone who should know would know the details of the killing that had just occurred.

So he had to rush to the Mage Association to apply for accommodation before this period of time, and then use some means to change his appearance.

Now Zhao Xu, to put it bluntly, after receiving the blessing of magic, he can even be a warrior than a warrior.

Finally, when Zhao Xu arrived at the reception counter in the front hall of the Mage Association in Winter City, he directly removed his invisibility and went straight to a booth to register.

Theoretically, every registered mage who goes to other towns with a mage association will not suffer any loss if he registers locally.

At least the association can help in providing various information channels.

Zhao Xu didn't come to the first stop before, mainly because the clerk at the front desk who was in charge of registration didn't necessarily know Winter City better than he did.

Strictly speaking, he is the leader here.

This time, Zhao Xu Zhiji did not hand over his super VIP card, which was the "Mithril Shining" badge.

Anyway, if he comes to register, he will know if the association wants to intervene. There is no need for him to emphasize again. If he does not intervene, it actually means that everything must rely on his own efforts.

And he also felt that the less external intervention, the better he would be able to find the "portal".

"Mr. Zhongxia, I'm sorry. Due to the recent expansion of the mage community and the academic seminar held in Winter City. Therefore, from this month to the end of the month, all first-level mage registered in the association can only stay in double rooms. In order to express my apology, this accommodation It’s free. And you can rest assured that the new accommodation has been approved and will be built by the end of the month.”

The clerk said in a polite and gentle tone as much as possible.

Zhao Xu guessed that he had never heard of this method in his previous life.

However, he also heard the other party's key points. I am afraid that the two points of "One Ring" and "Earth Adventurer" are the reasons why his treatment is stuck.

Zhao Xu reacted immediately.

I'm afraid that this kind of welfare for registered mages has been arbitraged too much by those graduated first-level mages, and there is a shortage of free rooms, so this measure can only be taken.

And those double rooms should also be converted from the original single rooms.

Zhao Xu did not intend to modify the identity ring number on the badge on the spot at this time, otherwise he would probably inject his own magic power and the badge would automatically change to the second ring.

He also wanted to contact the mage players in Winter City to supplement information, so he agreed to the request for a double room.

Anyway, it won't take him Qiao Zhuang a few minutes.

Before he went to look for Wolan, he actually wanted to use the other party's hand to release news and pay attention to whether there was anything strange around him.

"Okay, then I'll check you in now."

Although the clerk knew that the player in front of her would not be too angry, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the other party didn't care.

To her, these mages are all unpredictable. ���

When Zhao Xu arrived at the target's room with the spelled door number and key, he found that the room was already full of three people, including a first-level mage and two mage apprentices.

The three of them were sitting on the rattan sofa next to the door. On the long table in the middle was the "Gryphon Chess" popular in the North.

The whole room is very spacious, even with two beds there is still a large open space in the middle, and in the corner is a desk with simple alchemy equipment placed on it.

On the other side of the aisle are bookshelves, mostly containing relatively simple magic books.

"Huh?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but wonder, has it become a room of four

"Oh, sorry, they are both mage apprentices who have not yet graduated from the association. They heard that I came to Winter City and came here just to see me. Sorry, they will leave later."

The Yihuan mage sitting on the sofa quickly stood up and gestured to Zhao Xu, "My name is 'Xu Yuye', a level 1 mage."

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Zhao Xu also nodded, "Zhongxia, a level 1 mage."

Generally speaking, the game IDs chosen are rather bizarre and do not conform to Arthur's original naming style, so most of them are difficult to spread widely.

Therefore, many players return to their real names after traveling through time.

Especially when playing games, some people choose names that sound shy.

Zhao Xu didn't say much, and first placed his giant scythe next to an unused bed.

He had just temporarily borrowed some simple bandaging strips from the front desk, and after putting away the blade of the giant scythe in his hand, he wrapped it around it again, so that the original shape could hardly be seen.

So the three people in the room didn't pay much attention.

"Have you heard, a group of people have gone missing in 'Falling Star Lake' recently. Yesterday, the Temple of the God of Justice sent a wave of paladins to investigate." said the slightly fat apprentice sitting alone.

"Hey, that place in Falling Star Lake is very dark. Something will happen sooner or later. If it weren't for the nearby key transfer station, we players wouldn't be too lazy to go there." The person who responded was a taller and thinner apprentice.

The level 1 mage Xu Yuye who introduced himself at the beginning said carelessly, "Don't tell me, I just accepted the mission to go to 'Falling Star Lake' to investigate, and the nephew of a big shot has also disappeared."

"Come on, there is a group of miners who have never seen the light of day underground, and there are a bunch of entertainment venues above the ground. Who knows if the nephew of the big shot is still in Wenrou Township." The fat apprentice complained.

After hearing the other party's discussion, Zhao Xu knew the cause of the "Battle of Falling Star Lake" even in his previous life, but he still felt the calm before the storm at this moment.

But he didn't say much, and instead headed towards another room in the suite. There was a quiet room there, and he needed to use some magic to judge it first.

We were on the main road just now, and it was too noisy to cast a spell.

The three of them happened to be talking about the romantic places in Falling Star Lake at this moment, and they couldn't help but start to show their knowledge and make comments one by one.

Zhao Xu didn't know why, but the man didn't seem to express his opinion on this aspect, as if it was a shame.

But after hearing the last sentence, he had already walked into the quiet room and closed the door.

In order to avoid interference, the quiet room only has a simple set of tables and chairs, and the rest of the commonly used magic tools are packed in boxes on the side.

However, Zhao Xu wanted to use magic this time, so he took out the things he had bought before from his backpack.

A set of marked divination sticks, which are all magical tools used by wizards in ancient tribes for divination.

This is also the magic weapon needed for the priest's second-level divine skill "Divination".

Then Zhao Xu continued to take out the special incense from his backpack, then lightly dipped his fingers in the holy water, and drew a simple magic circle on the table.

Finally, Zhao Xu put the holy emblem on it and started to light the incense.

When the reassuring and calming fragrance slowly rose, Zhao Xu directly grasped the stick and began to wave it according to the "Divination Technique" casting requirements.

The entire stick seemed to be waving irregularly, but in fact it slowly wrote a faint magic circle in the air.

This is also the reason why spell casters look pale and old. They use their brains to cast complex spells every day, and their bodies are no better.

On the contrary, the war priest who only uses "divine grace", "divine energy" and "righteousness like a rainbow" to strengthen his own spells has a great body.

The divination spell lasted a full minute.

Finally, when Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, the incense worth 25 gold coins in front of him burned out in one breath, and the whole process accelerated hundreds of times.

When the incense burned to the last ashes, the almost extinguished fire bounced directly into the air, floating in front of Zhao Xu's eyes, exuding green phosphorescence.

Zhao Xu looked at the dancing phosphorescence in front of his eyes and directly asked the question he had prepared before—

"If I teleport to 'Falling Star Lake' immediately, will it be helpful in finding my target portal?"

When it comes to divination, the more specific a question is, the more likely it is to receive a successful response.

At this time, the spiritual light floating in the air slowly began to condense, and finally turned into a "ji" character.

Then the phosphorescence slowly dissipated, and the whole room fell into darkness again.

But Zhao Xu remained unmoved.

Although he basically guessed the result, he wasn't too excited.

To be honest, Zhao Xu didn't want to rush into Falling Star Lake.

Having read that period of history, he knew how tragic the battle was. Fortunately, the players had resurrection stones, otherwise there would be no hope of seeing any players alive around Winter City.

Even though he was the least likely to die among the players, he still didn't want to dance around that powder keg.

So he has always tried to change the fate of others by influencing them, rather than suddenly intervening.

Otherwise, it is really not that difficult for him to obtain a portal qualification.

As expected, it was the place where the "God of Death" once suffered. Even the location where the portal is opened is the place where those who are about to die suffer the most tragic death.
