The Truth of Magic

Chapter 265: Back to church (1/3)

Views:

The "Lux" attached to the back of Zhao Xu's hand also felt Zhao Xu's upgrade changes.

This sudden performance of Zhao Xu breaking through on the spot is a bit difficult to understand even for "Lux" who has tens of thousands of years of experience.

It would be fine if Zhao Xu advanced to level 5 the moment he touched the portal.

But he broke through directly in the dull silence.

And it still feels like a complete certainty.

At this time, Lux couldn't help but look at this old house that had been in disrepair. However, neither the cobwebs in the corners nor the cracked blue bricks on the ground could see anything magical.

Even if the portal hadn't appeared here, Lux would never have set her sights on such a cookie-cutter old house in disrepair.

At this moment, only Zhao Xu knew how he advanced.

The first time he casts the "Unbridled Heroism" spell, he gains 1 potential point that automatically recovers each round.

This extraordinary ability has affected him in the real world, giving him somewhat similar characteristics.

And that night, after coming into contact with the demon "Graz'zt", one of the Lords of the Abyss in the bronze mirror, and feeling the "power of the abyss" emanating from him, Zhao Xu began to synchronize the attributes in the game in the real world.

Naturally, this also gives him corresponding real intelligence in the game.

Relying on the ability of the wise caster, Zhao Xu is always reviewing the spell structures he has learned.

The foundation of a level 4 mage has been continuously solidified by him.

So when Zhao Xu saw the house where he lived in his previous life again, he instantly felt the intensity of life energy that he had when he was a level 5 warrior.

In this way, with his solid foundation and the bonus of these days of experience and insights, he instantly broke through the level 4 barrier.

Reach the level of a level 5 character.

At this moment, Zhao Xu closed his eyes and began to examine the corresponding abilities he could obtain at level 5.

He has naturally received corresponding improvements in health, saving throws, and skill points, especially the skill points that come from intelligence. With 22 intelligence, he now gets 6 points.

At the same time, his professional route one, the mage profession, will officially become a level 5 mage after learning the third-level spell.

Here, he will also gain the 5th-level wizard class ability—an additional "metamagic feat."

As for the second career line, Zhao Xu will become a level 1 priest/level 4 file scholar.

In this way, he can obtain the level 4 ability of "Dossier Scholar", "Heart is as Still as Water", and from then on, he will get a level 2 enhancement in saving throws against magic control spells.

But these are not the point.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xu, as a level 5 mage, has since obtained the third-ring spell.

He began to have an insurmountable gap for ordinary players.

From the moment he steps into this ring, he can learn a series of powerful spells.

Such as "Dispel Magic" to remove the opponent's buff effect, summon the faster "Phantom Pony" in the mount, group negative spell "Stinky Cloud", detection magic "Eagle Eye/Sharp Ear", and control the enemy's "Suggestion" ", "Wind Wall Technique" to counter long-range attacks.

There are also comprehensively improved "Acceleration Technique", "Flying Technique" that opens up the battlefield in the third dimension, "Gas Transformation Technique" that is a magical escape technique, and so on.

Even the famous spell "Fireball" cannot be said to be the strongest spell in the third ring.

Because of the damage output, warriors can also do it.

But warriors are unable to achieve the effects of vast three-ring spells.

"Master, let's go back to the battlefield first and take a look?" Lux asked.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "With the blessing of those spells, if we still can't defeat it, in fact, the players will not be able to withstand the pressure of Winter City in the future, and they will not be able to defend it."

In the past, he had to make vague judgments based on experience.

With extraordinary memory and thinking ability, Zhao Xu instantly understood the political and ecological map of the entire Northern Alliance.

So next, he will just wait silently for the players to desperately break through the town defense circle of Falling Star Lake, but that is no longer a problem.

"Master, let's quickly go back to Mystra to learn the third-ring spell, and then attack the god of death!" Lux said excitedly.

At this time, she seemed to have seen the shadow of Zhao Xu starting to become a god.

"Lux, you have to clean up your hands." Zhao Xu smiled and comforted the artifact spirit on his body.

As he spoke, Zhao Xu directly simulated the "teleportation technique".

In an instant, his entire figure disappeared and appeared directly in front of the "Goddess of Magic" church in Winter City.

Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at the church that had been renovated after "Archbishop Sosi" took up his duties.

Then he smiled silently and walked directly past the crowd in front of him.

"Why are there so many people in Sisylvina's church in the Northern Alliance?" Lux couldn't help but wonder.

It is not as developed as the magical civilization in the south. In the northern continent, a cold and resource-poor land, people mostly believe in gods such as the God of War and the God of Justice.

The brave and upright gods are more recognized by the creatures in this place.

"Hello, if you want to hold today's prayer ceremony, please go to the church on the left." At this time, a nun saw Zhao Xu walking towards the inner hall at the back of the church, and quickly came up to stop him.

Zhao Xu took out the holy emblem on his chest and said, "I'll find Sosi, please pass it on."

This nun, who was born in Arthur, had just entered the church due to family connections. When she saw the holy emblem, she didn't react for a while.

"The goddess's holy symbol means that I am a priest." Zhao Xu said quickly when he saw that the other party did not react.

Suddenly, the Holy Emblem in his hand emitted a gentle holy light, which reflected directly on the nun's face.

"Master, you are a bit too showy." Lux commented.

"Where did I get such leisurely feelings?" Zhao Xu said, "It appeared automatically. Maybe it was particularly sensitive to it in the goddess's church."

Generally speaking, a priest can prove his identity by activating the holy symbol in his hand through his own aura and using the "turn undead ability".

Zhao Xu also did this in front of "Lei An" and "Sosi".

At this time, a trainee priest saw this scene and hurriedly came over and scolded the nun: "This priest is also a goddess. Why don't you invite him to sit down first, and others will waste their energy to activate the Holy Emblem. "

At this time, the middle-aged trainee priest turned to Zhao Xu and asked, "Goddess above, my name is Somachi. Is there anything you need our cooperation with?"

"I want to meet Archbishop Sosi." Zhao Xu said.

At this time, the trainee priest who was responsible for entertaining in the front hall suddenly looked embarrassed and said: "Due to the incident at Falling Star Lake these days, Archbishop Sosi has been busy receiving the senior officials of Winter City and the Northern Alliance. I'm afraid he won't be able to spare time for a while. It’s time.”

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu in embarrassment.

Basically, he knows all the priests who visit "Winter City" from other places.

The person in front of me is probably only a level 1 priest. It is indeed not easy to meet Archbishop Sosi quickly at this time of year.

"Show him this holy emblem and just pass it on." Zhao Xu said.

At this time, Sosi's own holy emblem was much more effective than Zhao Xu's priest registration certificate.

"Okay." The middle-aged priest Somach bowed and took the holy emblem from Zhao Xu's hand. His eyes suddenly widened and he almost couldn't catch it and shook it from his hand to the ground.

The material of this holy emblem was already a bit primitive, but this middle-aged priest was deeply impressed by it.

Because he also received this version of the Trainee Priest Holy Emblem back then.

The time of the Holy Emblem was completely inconsistent with the appearance of the man in front of him.

but!

On the holy emblem, the redbud flower spike representing the "archbishop" level that governs a church was re-engraved.

Somachi immediately shut his mouth and took back all the doubtful words.

He hurriedly bowed to Zhao Xu and ran towards the hall behind.

He knew that Archbishop Sosi was having a meeting with the Lord of Winter City at this time, and even the Northern Alliance sent a "special envoy" here.

Because the goddess suddenly lowered a temple in Falling Star Lake for players to be resurrected, it immediately aroused speculation among the top management of Winter City.

It is thought that the higher-ups of the Goddess Church and even the Goddess herself have some special views on "Falling Star Lake", which is why there is such a big disturbance today.

At this time, the nun wanted to ask Zhao Xu to sit aside, because this kind of communication itself would not be so fast, at least it would have to wait until the meeting was over.

However, as soon as the nun finished speaking, she saw the middle-aged trainee priest walking quickly with his head lowered.

At this time, he walked up to Zhao Xu, his whole body showing a humble posture, just like during morning prayers.

I was about to open my mouth to say the word "Your Majesty", but noticed that there were many people talking and the middle-aged trainee pastor quickly took it back.

He said respectfully to Zhao Xu: "Excuse me, please move to the VIP room at the back, where Archbishop Sosi is waiting for your arrival."

The middle-aged man still vividly remembers what happened just now.

Archbishop Sosi left the meeting on the spot attended by the city lord of "Winter City" and the special envoy of the "Alliance" just to come and see this person.

Moreover, according to what he said, it was the man who "summoned the temple" who had arrived.

Suddenly, a newsboy burst in from outside the church. He gasped and said: "A large number of frost giants and their winter wolves, troll subordinates, as well as hill giants and fire giants suddenly appeared in front of Falling Star Lake. But They were all defeated by the players.”

For a moment, people in the church showed disbelief, and were about to scold this child who dared to lie to the Goddess Church.

The noble merchants who came to perform the prayer ceremony today are even more aware of the gap between the players and those frost giants.

The newsboy looked at the looks of everyone present and quickly answered: "Because the players on the plain suddenly received the blessing of more than a dozen divine spells from the goddess!"

Thanks to "Goofy" for being the first ally of this book, thank you. I will return the additional chapter 5 of Alliance Leader this week.
