The Truth of Magic

Chapter 290: Reunion

Views:

The lich, who had spent an unknown amount of time, exuded a frightening aura all over his body.

That is the "Aura of Fear" that comes with the Lich. All those with a life dice less than 5 HD, that is, if the adventurer is below level 5 and looks at the Lich, he will be affected by the three-ring spell "Fear" of the same name and fall into panic. state.

Zhao Xu also relied on the characteristics of undead creatures to become immune to this mind-affecting effect.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's thoughts were highly concentrated. If he didn't handle it properly, his precious "Lord of the Dead" ability might have to be handed over here.

No matter how outstanding a spellcaster is, if he lacks channels, he will often be unable to avoid aging and death.

At this time, some spellcasters will choose to become a "lich", which can be achieved by passing an extremely evil ritual called the "Lich's Phylactery".

The biggest advantage of becoming a lich is that you can perfectly inherit your previous professional abilities, which is what most spellcasters care about.

The entire ritual is to create a magic phylactery for storing life energy, and only by destroying this phylactery can the Lich be officially destroyed.

Otherwise, even if the lich dies on the spot, it will be resurrected around the phylactery within 1-10 days.

This is also the reason why Arthur chose the Lich as the protagonist in countless legendary heroic stories, so that the resurrected Lich can return as the final devil in the next part.

To become a lich, you have to develop the creation expertise of "Creating Strange Objects", and then pay a full 120,000 gold coins and a lot of energy to perform the ritual.

Compared with the direct nine-ring spell "Timeless Trace", the price is huge, and it is also a strictly restricted evil camp.

As for the "Arch Lich" of the good camp and the next-level legendary "Demi-Lich", they are rare existences in Arthur, and they are no more rare than the legendary priest.

The "demigod" is often called the "demigod lich" because of its incomparable power.

At this time, Zhao Xu turned around. He looked at the lich floating in the air with disdain. He directly and decisively used up his ability to "sense death" again and opened his right eye.

When the lich saw Zhao Xu open his originally closed right eye, he immediately felt a powerful will of death overtaking its soul, almost causing it to kneel down in worship.

The lich wanted to use a "protective spell" to protect itself, but it couldn't feel any spells cast by the mysterious man in front of it.

At first glance, the other party gave him the impression that he was an undead creature.

But when he looked carefully, he couldn't tell what type of undead creature it was. Instead, it looked more like a living creature.

The man in front of me is definitely not the most human-like undead creature "vampire".

Zhao Xu's right eye was also exuding the power of death at this time, and all kinds of possibilities were suddenly changing, slowly turning into scenes, flashing before his eyes.

"The life box in your dimensional bag is damaged, why don't you repair it?" Zhao Xu said with a cold tone. At this time, he looked at the lich in front of him with cold eyes.

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, the lich suddenly lost his mind. He didn't expect that his deepest secret would be known to this boy.

How could the other party know that he was carrying a "life box" with him

And you also know that the "life box" is damaged

As the Lich's most precious treasure, the phylactery is basically hidden in the most heavily guarded and mysterious places.

"Who are you?" The lich looked in disbelief and was about to ask Zhao Xu, but felt the superior gaze of the other party and could not continue.

Zhao Xu didn't say anything at this time, but turned his head contemptuously and continued walking, saying as he walked: "You are on the right path, but you must either become a demigod lich or use the legendary spell 'Broken Phylactery'. Otherwise, if you try to attack your life box without authorization, you will be seeking your own death. Don’t think that the lichs of thousands of years are too stupid, you are the only one who is smart.”

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, the lich became even more excited, and his skin that was already withered and skinny seemed to turn rosy.

Its voice was trembling, and it wanted to run up to Zhao Xu for advice.

However, it saw that the other party ignored it at all, but did not dare to come forward to disturb it. For a moment, it could only stop on the spot and respectfully watched Zhao Xu disappear at the corner of the street.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, didn't relax until he reached another corner.

Sure enough, in a mage's job, intelligence comes first.

He just used "Sense Death" to see the scene where he and the lich were directly destroyed by the "Dissociation Technique" after a conflict broke out.

Later, he switched four or five different routes in succession, and finally used the "Lord of the Dead" to escape.

Even this time, he saw a longer future, when he directly ordered the lich to reveal the location of his phylactery.

It was only through his destiny that he realized that this lich was actually a courageous lich who directly carried the most important life box with him.

But this is also a move that the other party has no choice but to take.

Because this lich recently provoked a certain legendary undead creature, the other party directly threatened it to hand over its phylactery to save its life, otherwise it would be hunted down until the phylactery was destroyed.

So this lich has been trying to split its phylactery into two parts, so that even if one part is damaged, it can be resurrected by the other part.

Zhao Xu just told it directly two ways to divide the life box.

One is to use "legendary spells" to divide the phylactery, and the other is to become a "demigod lich", which can divide the phylactery into eight soul gems. As long as one gem exists, resurrection can be achieved.

That's why Zhao Xu pointed out such a shocking truth, which directly made the lich doubt his identity.

Moreover, there was a huge riot in the entire city today. The combination of various factors prevented the other party from testing him any further.

After this experience, when Zhao Xu acted again, he waited and watched to make sure there were no problems before acting. Even if there were special situations, he would directly choose to use "invisibility" to overcome them.

Anyway, no one wears true knowledge on their body every day.

In this way, after Zhao Xu walked for an hour or two, he finally reached the "high tower" within his sight.

The entire tower is eight stories high, and the top is a clock tower. The big pendulum clock from the mechanical realm has been moving the second hand forward.

After Zhao Xu made some observations and judgments, he found that although there were undead creatures near the bell tower, not a single undead creature came close to him.

It's very strange. The tall tower looks more like a church, and it seems to be able to repel the undead.

However, he didn't think too much. While the effect of his invisibility spell had not disappeared, he walked directly towards the extremely heavy double iron doors, and then slipped through the gap.

But as soon as Zhao Xu stepped in, he noticed something was wrong, and immediately heard the sound of breaking through the air.

"Secondary Swift Explosion!"

At this time, Zhao Xu did not hesitate at all and cast the spell directly.

Suddenly, his whole body was in a state of extremely slow flow of time, and the arrow that was supposed to arrive in an instant moved bit by bit with endless hesitation.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu hasn't been able to use the fourth ring of "Swift Explosion" yet. At that time, the extra time he got was enough to cast the spell.

Now it is only a second-level spell that he can only use to forcefully move a certain distance, less than a few meters.

Zhao Xu, who lacked the "teleportation boots", could not use the boots to initiate teleportation and could only walk automatically.

At this time, he was also upset, because undead creatures were already immune to attribute absorption, and were also immune to attribute damage of strength, agility, and perception. He also lowered his own vigilance. Unexpectedly, he could still be hit by long-range weapons when he first entered the door. attack.

Skeleton warriors with bows and arrows are also extremely rare.

Fortunately, he was still invisible at this time. Zhao Xu immediately walked forward until he reached a corner where it was easy to escape and then stood firm.

Then a dizzy feeling came over him as the after-effects of the spell, directly paralyzing all Zhao Xu's actions.

"Bang." There were two sounds at the same time, and the two arrows were shot directly on the door frame, and the tail feathers of the arrows were still trembling.

"It's strange. The magic alarm has clearly sounded. Judging from the pace, even if the opponent is invisible, he has almost reached this position. Why not?" At this time, Eswig frowned and walked out. At this time, she held the light in her hand. Crossbow thought deeply.

Wang Ningwei also walked out of another shadow holding a light crossbow, also frowning deeply.

"I told you, this meeting gift is a bit too polite." Only then did Zhao Xu remove his invisibility and complained to the two women.

"Ah, Zhongxia." Wang Ningwei was initially startled, but when she turned around and saw it was Zhao Xu, she said in surprise.

Although Eswig didn't say anything, she was quite moved when she looked at Zhao Xu.

"You shouldn't have come in." At this time, Wang Ningwei said lightly, "And congratulations, you are already at level 5. Eswig and I are only at level 3."

"So you didn't even bother to notify me in the QQ group." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Indeed, the resurrected can only be resurrected in this half-plane, and the level of the undead inside is very high. It can be said that for every player, there is not much difference from directly canceling the account.

"Actually, I have an additional mission when I come to this demiplane, and I'm here to meet you. It's just to exchange information." Zhao Xu comforted everyone to avoid burdening everyone.

What he dislikes the most is doing favors to others.

Wang Ningwei said: "If you send us another QQ message, we will naturally tell you everything about the situation."

Zhao Xu also smiled, "I sent it to you, but you didn't reply. I came here to find you using the object location technique."

"Hehe, Ningwei asked me not to reply to you until we cancel our account or go out. This is to prevent you from being macho and forcefully coming in to save us after knowing the truth." Eswig said.

Zhao Xu thought about it. Once the other party didn't reply, he might think he had given up. After all, he couldn't get out of the game and it wouldn't affect reality.

But at this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Wang Ningwei. Could it be that the other party also guessed the clues about the universal time travel ten months later.

In other words, the other party really believed in this set of information derived from the game, but it was just too good to be true.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu also began to selectively hand over some of the information he had come in and exchange information with each other.

At this time, Wang Ningwei and Eswig also told Zhao Xu their experiences during this period.

Finally, after listening, Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise his head and look at the top of the tower that was separated by many floors.

There is actually a portal there!

It can lead to the outside world, or to the temple where the "Amber Coffin" is stored!
