After confirming that the player had successfully broken through, Zhao Xu had finished casting the spell and returned to the floating city.
At this moment, Artoria finally broke away from his body and returned directly to the Kingdom of God. The whole process was not sloppy at all.
Zhao Xu, who had used Artoria for free for several days, felt a little embarrassed.
He then followed the procedure to register at the Arcane Gate of Mystra and applied to use the teleportation gate to lead to the "Floating City".
By the time he reached the seventh floor of the floating city's obelisk, half an hour had passed.
But Antinoya was currently at the desk, flipping through an extremely heavy book.
Zhao Xu could barely distinguish the title "The Demiplane of Divine Power" from the cage-like pattern on the cover of the magic book, which had been cut into pieces.
"Teacher, something happened to the 'demiplane' of the scavenger pit?" Zhao Xu was immediately aware of this.
At this time, Antinoya raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhao Xu, and then continued to look down, "You have a new opportunity? The upgrade and response are quite fast. Two months of level 5 mage, placed in Arthur's In the long history, it can be considered a pretty good progress.”
"But you did escape." Antinoya also indirectly confirmed Zhao Xu's words.
"The underground passage you were arranged to go to at the beginning is one of the most difficult passages to enter that half of the plane. No matter which key you have, you need to cooperate with strict rituals to find the portal."
"It's normal for you to fail. There are not many people who can pass smoothly. Just try again next year. Well, but maybe the problem will not be solved next year."
After hearing this, Zhao Xu knew that the situation in the demiplane of the god of death was extremely serious, and he thought that he still had two friends in it.
He couldn't help but ask: "Ningwei and Eswig didn't come out?"
In fact, Zhao Xu doesn't have many group chats these days because he is also very busy.
But he noticed that the two women had not appeared in the QQ group for a long time.
"That's right. Something happened in that demiplane, affected by the mysterious intrusion of creatures. Not only were the two female players trapped in it and unable to get out, but even the resurrection point was locked in that demiplane. Even if Even if you die, you can only continue the challenge." Antinoya said this cruel fact.
"So for you who didn't find the portal to enter, it's a blessing in disguise. The association will block that place and it won't be open again for a year and a half," Antinoya said.
"And you are also level 5. We will try new tricks later, use the reverse summoning ritual to enter the 'Final Scroll' space, and then you can copy those third-ring spells."
Zhao Xu naturally accepted Antinoya's permission happily.
But his attention was still attracted by the magic book Antinoya was reading.
Does this mean that that demiplane has become an existence that even legendary mages like "Anti Noya" need to face with difficulty
"Teacher, those emergency rescue personnel are also dead?" Zhao Xu asked.
Being able to know that the opponent's resurrection point has been changed means that he has already died once.
And this demiplane itself is deliberately limited to no more than three people, leaving room for maneuvers for first responders.
If something happens to Wang Ningwei and others, the association's candidates may also be in trouble.
At this time, Antinoya, who was holding one of the pages between his fingers and was about to turn it over, froze for a moment, "Why do you have such a guess?"
"Ningwei is a key candidate for the 'Leadership' specialty, and Eswig is probably the one that the organization is paying attention to. The two of them can enter and obtain the 'Iron Will' specialty at an early stage, and I'm afraid they will be evaluated in the association's opinion." In the system, its importance is not low.”
Zhao Xu knew that the association would evaluate the importance, health, potential and other aspects of the registered novice mages.
Finally, a graded attention evaluation table was screened out, which is also the basis for the association to favor resources for each novice mage.
"If it can be delayed for so long, combined with the keyword 'Death', I'm afraid the maneuvering position left for 'rescue' will be exhausted."
"Only when you have paid a huge price but still haven't gained anything, will you, my mentor, be allowed to read the book here without any worries, instead of going in directly to find someone."
Zhao Xu analyzed silently.
The fact that a legendary female mage like Antinoya, who has accumulated thousands of years of experience, can read and prepare here with peace of mind at this moment, means that things are not simple.
For them, the magic they possess is enough to face any difficult situation.
"Well, you guessed it right." Antinoya stroked her hair, "That demiplane seems to have a new owner. And now it continues to maximize the power of the past rules. .”
"It can't be more than five?" Zhao Xu asked immediately.
He already had a bad suspicion.
"That's right, any character above level 5 who enters will be punished. Originally this was a rule that only existed in the core area, but now it has spread to the entire demiplane. The two senior mages who were responsible for the rescue at the beginning were He was killed in battle, and even his soul has not returned.”
"This is also the reason why the association is currently unable to rescue the two female players." Antinoya explained.
"Even items that exceed a level 5 caster level will be restricted?"
Zhao Xu immediately noticed this loophole.
Antinoya took a deep look at Zhao Xu and nodded, "Yes. You are quite good now. You know how to find shortcuts when looking at problems."
However, Zhao Xu did not look happy at all for Antinoya's praise.
This is big trouble.
The soul of the dead senior mage was suppressed, indicating that all backup methods of resurrection were ineffective, because after resurrection, he was also resurrected in the demiplane.
The restriction of magic items above level 5 caster level shows that both Wang Ningwei and Eswig are subject to this restriction.
Like the series of magic items that Zhao Xu currently carries, none of them have more than ten levels of caster levels.
That is to say, when he goes in, everything from the star cloak to the teleportation boots will be suppressed.
Otherwise, it is entirely possible for the Mage Association to arm a level 5 mage to be more terrifying than a ninth-level mage.
Even he knows and can achieve the "synchronization" method to temporarily obtain the nine-ring spell.
The association's capabilities in this area will only be enriched, it depends on whether it is willing to pay the price.
"Master, we can give it a try." Lux suddenly said, "That demiplane is probably controlled by the artificial death god I let go. Master, if you accidentally get trapped when you enter, I will pull down this face and It will negotiate and negotiate and will create a gap for us to leave," Lux said.
"Now that the rules are becoming more active, it means that the fragments of the God of Death's godhead are becoming more prominent, so we may still be able to get them," Lux said.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but ask Lux: "Originally, after the artificial death god sneaked in, the best strategy was to move quietly. But now that the entire association is paying attention, doesn't it mean that the other party does not have the means to take away the fragments without alerting the snake? ?Are you sure that the two of us can take away that fragment?"
Now Zhao Xu is no longer driven solely by profit. Basically, there will be a ruler in his heart, considering whether various gains and losses, risks and gains are equal.
"Hey, Master, you can't hide it, but I can. Although the fragment of the Godhead of Death is very dangerous, with it, we can use it to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and start to secretly develop a new sect. Don't you think pretending A weak version of the God of Death distributes magic. Isn't it fun to have a bunch of saints who can warm the bed at the same time?" Lux was bewitching Zhao Xu at this time.
"Think about your miracle technique." Lux continued to give Zhao Xu the price.
"Enjoyed? I'm afraid of losing my life."
Zhao Xu said this, but looked at Antinoya, "Teacher, if the association needs a level 5 mage to search for the two of them, then I can fight."
"Hmph, hypocrite, hypocritical master." Lux complained directly about Zhao Xu's behavior of taking the initiative to sign up while talking about the risks.
At this moment, Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with admiration.
For her, it was indeed rare for Zhao Xuming to have the courage to make such a suggestion, knowing that all five resurrection stones might be buried together.
For thousands of years, the Association has had too many "smart people" who said they would risk their lives for the Association, but were the first to run away when they really needed to fight.
As everyone knows, before the legend, all actions are considered.
"Very good, if you can cast a third-level spell before tomorrow morning, I will allow you to enter."
Just saying that, Antinoya still showed a worried look and added, "If you are really trapped inside, just stay quietly and don't take risks to use up the five resurrection stones."
Zhao Xu heard something was wrong at this time, "Teacher, the main reason is that if the other party wants to kill me, it will not be within the scope of my will."
"Don't worry, it will only kill you once at most. It corresponds to the price of your break-in. This is also a withdrawal of rules, and it can only be done five times."
"But I can't say for sure. If you give up and capture the opponent and want to kill you again, then you should tell him that you are my only disciple, Antinoya."
"One of the successors to the 'Final Scroll'."
