The Truth of Magic

Chapter 247: The secret of prophecy (2/3)

Views:

After Zhao Xu returned to Arthur, he went directly to the "Falling Star Town" where the Mining Association was located.

As for the evil giant, he used the nine-ring spell "Confinement Technique" to seal it.

Under this spell that can last forever, the evil giant will always remain in a state of suspended animation.

Because he knew the existence of another note from the memory of the evil giant.

An item collected by the other race during a search for arcane knowledge hundreds of years ago.

The other party then realized that the notebook was of great significance, and also knew that there were several other notebooks.

So the evil magic giant family directly used the "notes" to arrange an extremely powerful ritual.

As long as someone carrying similar notes steps into the monitored Northern Alliance area, the ritual will be triggered.

The other party even knew that the target was a priest of the goddess of magic.

Because after Zhao Xu arrived at Winter City, he entered the detection range and triggered the note-taking ritual.

But Zhao Xu isn't too worried now.

Because after synchronizing with "Artoria", he cast himself an eight-ring "psychic barrier" spell that could last for a full 24 hours.

This spell directly blocks the existence of all prophecy and detection spells.

In fact, if you think about it, there is another notebook in the Northern Alliance area, which fell into the hands of Fleur's father.

Those magic giants did not rush to ask for it.

Explain that notebooks can actually block prophecy detection methods.

Zhao Xu turned around and wanted to customize a lead book box to store his notebooks.

"Falling Star Town" is a town developed based on the mithril veins under Falling Star Lake.

Under the influence of the underground mineral veins of Falling Star Lake, many surrounding monsters have evolved, so players often experience collecting and harvesting here.

But before players enter Arthur, Falling Star Town itself is relatively prosperous. Relying on the miners who are digging, the town has an extremely rich entertainment industry, which consumes the miners' monthly salary gains.

These industries also laid the foundation for the subsequent "slave trade incident".

The post that Zhao Xulin posted before going online was actually an analysis of the terrain around Falling Star Lake, and incidentally revealed a lot of information on the strength of the "Mining Association".

Most importantly, he suggested that if players really want to defeat the slave-trading mine owners, they must all unite and launch a war.

Otherwise, sporadic ambush battles would not be able to overdraw the upper limit of Falling Star Town's combat power.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also benefits players from the perspective of having more people to launch an epic battle.

In fact, the players in the previous life suffered losses until the fourth day, after each player handed over two or three resurrection stones, before they decided to fight to the death, and all the players gathered together and set off together.

Finally, a siege was launched against the high-walled Falling Star Town.

This war of tens of thousands of people sacrificed countless lives, creating a tragic and desolate epic battle.

This has attracted a lot of outside players into the trap.

Zhao Xu's post was to tell the players the answer first and let everyone copy it, saving them another two days of trial and error.

The mission requirements for the mine owners to recruit mercenaries have been released. Today is the first day, and on the third day the "Mining Association" will be strongly replenished.

That's why Zhao Xu took the opportunity to make a time difference.

However, when Zhao Xu approached Falling Star Town, which was still brightly lit at night, he did not lurk in hastily.

After using his observation skills to investigate, he found that the entire "Falling Star Town" was already on tight alert.

From time to time, one or two groups of players approached "Falling Star Town" and directly attacked the town's guards. However, they were not successful and were defeated immediately.

Zhao Xu once used divination to predict what he would gain from going to Falling Star Lake, and the result he got was "auspicious".

Now as a level 20 priest, he also has more powerful means.

Except for the "divination" of the second ring.

Zhao Xu can also use the "prophecy" of the fourth ring and the "spiritual art" of the fifth ring.

The prophecy will allow him to get useful suggestions for things, purposes or actions to be undertaken during the week.

Theosophy, on the other hand, involves directly asking the gods or agents, and obtaining answers through questioning, which may also result in unclear responses.

Zhao Xu's main problem at the moment is his view on breaking the situation from a new angle, rather than continuing to circle around his own plan.

So he directly chose to use "prophecy".

Zhao Xu was in the wild at this time and had no time to prepare incense and holy water. He could not be as rigorous as when he first performed the "divination technique".

Not to mention that this spell requires about 10 minutes of chanting, which is quite risky in this quiet night.

So Zhao Xu continued to use the Nine Rings "Miracle Technique" to simulate it extravagantly.

Just a few seconds later, the simulated "prophecy technique" directly emitted a scorching light and fell on the fir tree in front of Zhao Xu.

He took a closer look and realized that the advice given to him by prophecy was directly engraved on this tree -

Antinoya.

After seeing the name, Zhao Xu silently used magic to dissolve the scratches on the tree.

But there was some confusion and heaviness in his heart.

In fact, he had avoided cheating from Antinoya since the trial he was sent to obtain the "Iron Will" expertise.

I just didn't expect that after going round and round, I would actually come back here again.

At this point, Zhao Xu didn't show any pretense and directly used the teleportation technique to return to Mystra.

As the light of the spell's transmission flashed, he appeared in the reception hall of the "Arcane Gate", and then walked there and used the teleportation gate to reach the floating city.

It was not until almost early in the morning that Zhao Xu finally arrived at the seventh floor of the obelisk.

"Teacher, are you still awake?"

After Zhao Xu knocked on the door, he found Antinoya sitting on his office desk wearing pajamas and a windproof cloak, flipping through a thick magic book.

At this time, Antinoya raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Zhao Xu.

"It's finally stronger, but unfortunately it doesn't last long. But you didn't go to the Legend Library in vain. You have mastered some temporary strengthening methods."

Zhao Xu was not surprised that Antinoya saw through the inside story of his synchronization with the "Servant of the Blazing Sky" at a glance.

At this time, he regarded this as his own home, casually sat on the cushioned sofa, and spoke directly to Antinoya.

"Teacher, I would like to ask about the inside story of the 'Scavenger Cave'."

Zhao Xu then explained his experience from beginning to end.

At the same time, he also told Antinoya the results he had just seen using the "prophecy technique".

At this time, Zhao Xu, who had the "True Knowledge" to see through the darkness of illusions and magic, still found that he could not fully see Antinoya, whose face was shrouded in a hood.

"How did you discover that the direction guided by the 'prophecy' was not the mine owner of Falling Star Lake, but the 'cave' where Iron Will was obtained?" Antinoya asked curiously.

Anyone who is doing the task will directly reflect that the spell is targeting the current situation.

It's just that Zhao Xu has memories of his previous life, and he knows better than anyone how powerful the mine owners of "Falling Star Lake" are.

Strong is strong, but it is not enough to threaten him currently.

The "prophecy" told him to seek help from "Anti Noya".

In other words, he couldn't solve it even with a level 20 priest.

"Intuition." Zhao Xu knew that Antinoya actually didn't care about this, so he directly gave a reason acceptable to both parties.

"Interesting, you know, the pre-level level you went to is the most difficult."

"In recent years, few people have been able to pass." Antinoya recalled, holding her chin in her hands: "But the advantage of difficulty is that as long as you can enter that demiplane, you will get it 100%." Iron Will’s specialty.”

When Zhao Xu heard this, it turned out to be true.

He knew that his level must be special.

"What is in that half of the plane?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask.

The time that Blazing God Attendant can synchronize with him is limited, but it is not impossible to negotiate the price.

Once upon a time, Zhao Xu was foolish enough to think that rules were just rules. It wasn't until later that he realized that as long as the rules were set by humans, there was room for compromise.

He talked to Artoria and it was okay to extend the time.

He can even cover into the demiplane.

"That demiplane contains the artifact of Death, the real Death Scythe."

Antinoya did not set up a defense against Zhao Xu and said this directly.

Suddenly the skeletal-looking full-body armor in the room shook.

"Teacher, if you say so, I think that after I go in and awaken the 'Iron Will' specialty, I should leave as soon as possible."

"How could that be?" Antinoya suddenly laughed softly.

"I actually want to collect that artifact. It's rare to find such an artifact that is purely dedicated to killing."

Zhao Xu shook his head: "Teacher, I won't commit suicide for this."

The Mage Association certainly has no shortage of artifacts.

So he was sure that this was definitely not something truly hidden.

But Antinoya would definitely not lie to him, which meant that Antinoya might not even know what was hidden there.

This is really scary and dangerous.

"Well, it's such a boring midsummer. In fact, you don't have to worry. After you finish participating in this battle, the powerful resonance of life and death will make you improve." Antinoya said.

"So you should take this opportunity to master those backup spells."

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard that, "Teacher, what you said makes sense. I'll go back first."

Zhao Xu already knew what Antinoya was referring to.

"Oh, by the way." Suddenly Antinoya seemed to remember something, "That half of the plane actually hides something that no one has found yet."

At this time, Zhao Xu hurriedly canceled the "advanced teleportation technique" he was simulating, almost causing a spell accident.

One day, he will have to cure Antinoa's problem of half-talking.

At this time, Antinoya stood up and hugged the windproof cloak around her slightly, "There is still a fragment of the god of death's godhead there."

"It can be regarded as one of the few shortcuts that Arthur can take to become a god."

I’ll write more tomorrow as I think about the upcoming battle.
