Facing this scene, Zhao Xu knew instantly that his entire plan would be rewritten.
According to Wang Ningwei and Eswig, they were in a maze at the beginning, and suddenly one day they were unable to use magic items with a caster level above level 5. After the time and space changed, they ended up in this place, and even most of their bodies All magic items were destroyed.
After finally escaping the pursuit of various undead creatures, I finally entered this tall tower with a teleportation gate. This tower is like a restricted area, and few undead creatures will approach it.
However, there are still undead creatures in the tower, and this is true for the upper floors. Although the skeletons and zombies are not high-level, they are not something that novice mages like them who have not mastered the second-level spells can destroy. The main reason is that their scrolls are early. It was all consumed in the previous battle.
On the one hand, undead creatures such as zombies and skeletons do not have any intelligence. Although they cannot change, they are destined to only execute the plan. Even if Wang Ningwei and Eswig can propose any trade negotiation plan, the other party will not be able to understand it. Like a cold machine.
"If they are just undead creatures without intelligence such as skeletons and zombies, I have a three-ring 'invisible ball' that can let us get through together." Zhao Xu said.
However, Eswig shook his head, "Each layer above has the effect of True Sight, so it's useless."
"According to the news I received three hours ago, if we wait another three hours, the association will organize a storm led by the legendary mage. If we can reach the teleportation gate on the top floor and teleport outside the city at that time, it will definitely be possible. 100% escape. If we stay in this city, the battle will be urgent and the legendary mages may not be able to take care of us. It is estimated that there is only a 50% chance that we can escape." Wang Ningwei said the channel information she had obtained privately.
Eswig thought Zhao Xu didn't understand, and directly added an explanation: "Because the association knows that the 'Scavenger's Mine' suddenly merged with the two demi-planes of the 'Land of the Sleeper'. The importance and urgency of the whole incident They’ve all been upgraded directly.”
Zhao Xu also nodded, this is reasonable.
Now that the "Land of Sleepers" has appeared, if the Mage Association started to rely on silence, it would be too out of step with the times.
But this means that in two hours, there will be a decisive battle, which is so fast that Zhao Xu is not prepared.
He could only feel a trace of regret.
The many mysterious buildings outside the city, and the real secrets behind how Death established this city, can only be explored later.
Zhao Xu also didn't expect that he came to this tower just for a wider field of vision, and actually met Wang Ningwei and Eswig, and there was a teleportation gate here, which was equivalent to him directly finding a shortcut to clear the level. generally.
Naturally, he can rely on the "undead characteristics" to reach the top without any obstacles, but they do not have the blessing of this divine power.
Even if Zhao Xu acted and pretended to be escorting, those skeletons would not accept this and would just blindly chop down any living thing they saw.
After thinking clearly, Zhao Xu opened his backpack and took out some blank scrolls, magic ink and quill pens from his pocket.
He can't bring the magic scroll in, but he can bring the production tools for the magic scroll.
Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, unfolded the scroll, and then picked up a pen to copy spells on it.
Wang Ningwei and Eswig couldn't help but feel a little dazed when they looked at Zhao Xu's behavior at this moment, and they didn't understand each other's actions for a while.
"Is it still too late to copy the scroll?" Eswig asked, "Do you want to copy the spell that can only be cast on yourself for us?"
For a moment, Wang Ningwei and Eswig looked at Zhao Xu, who was already paying full attention, and roughly understood.
Obviously Zhao Xu has a way to deal with this situation, but I am afraid that the opponent's spell can only be used on himself.
Because copying the scrolls also consumes spell slots, he might as well cast spells on them directly.
So Zhao Xu could only copy the scroll and let them each hold the scroll and cast spells on themselves.
Zhao Xu, who copied the scroll, was so distracted that he even forgot that he was in a country with only undead creatures.
All sounds from the outside world were filtered by him, and everything fell into silence at this moment.
However, the quill in his hand was indeed like a trickle, slowly guiding the magic energy in his mind to the scroll that was only 30 centimeters long.
Even if Wang Ningwei didn't turn on the detection magic or master the "secret vision" of the third ring, she felt that the pen in Zhao Xu's hand seemed to be glowing.
Time passed slowly, until almost an hour later, the quill pen in Zhao Xu's hand directly completed the last outline. Suddenly, all the magic energy converged in an instant, and the flow of magic energy stabilized.
A second-level scroll priced at 150 gold coins is released directly.
With just a second-level spell slot and a material cost of 75 gold coins, the mages can turn it into a second-level scroll worth 150 gold coins after paying some energy.
Scrolls are also one of Arthur's cheapest ways to cast spells. As long as you master the practical magic device skills, you can cast spells at any time with scrolls.
It is even more convenient for spellcasters to use scrolls.
At this time, Zhao Xu directly handed the copied scroll to "Wang Ningwei" and hurriedly copied the second scroll.
"It's the second ring of immortality." Wang Ningwei couldn't help but sigh while holding the scroll in her hand.
Then she told Eswig about the effect of the spell that she recognized through her own spell.
After hearing this, Eswig's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhao Xu with admiration, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, but he is more like a mage than us. He actually reacted the moment he heard that the 'invisibility spell' was useless. Come here and use this 'Necromancy' spell. True Seeing can break the invisible 'Illusion' spell, but it cannot break the 'Necromancy' spell. It's really clever. Because we are just covered with a layer of negative energy."
Finally, when Zhao Xu finished copying the second scroll, Zhao Xu took a piece of cloth and wiped his sweat. He had just spent two hours and forty minutes just for these two "Immortal Curtain" scrolls.
However, he copied the whole process with great enthusiasm, and the details of countless spells were re-mastered bit by bit for his use in the process of copying.
Now if Zhao Xu were to deduce the structure of this spell out of thin air, he would not be clueless.
Next, after Zhao Xu gave a brief explanation, Wang Ningwei and Eswig took the scrolls and cast the "Undead Shroud" spell one after another.
Suddenly their faces became a little pale, as if there was no blood left.
Feeling that time was tight, everyone immediately set off to climb the tower.
Zhao Xu once tested the spell "Undead Shroud" in the "Corpse Square". Undead creatures that basically have no intelligence cannot decipher the strangeness of this spell.
Every floor of the tower is guarded by skeletons and zombies. Even on the fifth floor, Zhao Xu saw a skeleton dragon, all five colors of dragons.
Just the moment they became skeletons, they had no brains and naturally no intelligence, so they couldn't tell that Zhao Xu and others were actually living people, and thought they were just the same undead creatures.
In this way, this tower, which even a tenth-level team might not be able to successfully climb to the top, was directly deceived by Zhao Xu's "immortal veil" spell, without encountering any obstacles from beginning to end.
In the end, the three of them reached the top of the tower, that is, the top of the entire bell tower.
"The whole process was unbelievably fast." Eswig sighed. She didn't expect that the tower that had blocked them for most of the day could be cleared all the way by a "second-ring spell" so easily.
"Actually, if we are fifth-ring spell casters, then we can use teleportation to leave. Fourth-ring spellcasters are enough to use any door to reach the top. We can even risk using third-ring flying spells outside. So this tower either does not have teleportation Door, otherwise it would be meaningless to have strong monsters on the floor." Zhao Xu explained.
After all, Arthur is not a strong person. He will not deliberately set up a BOSS to guard the level just to welcome the adventurers who don't know when they will arrive.
Being able to arrange some skeletons without intelligence is the minimum guarantee. At least it can intercept most of the Xiaoxiao who may infiltrate.
At this time, Zhao Xu walked to the portal and couldn't help but take a deep look at the door frame two people high in front of him.
According to Wang Ningwei's new information, this door frame can be sent to ten places in the city, one of which is naturally outside the city.
Once there, you return to the jurisdiction of the original demiplane of "Scavenger Mine".
At that time, the legendary mage who was killed by the God of Death, the will controller who possessed the demiplane, would smoothly arrange for them to leave, and they could even meet the legendary mage who broke in there.
"Well, according to the association's requirements, we will wait here for another ten minutes. When the time comes for the legendary mages to break through and enter the demiplane, we can enter the portal." Wang Ningwei said, looking behind her at this time The two people asked everyone for their opinions.
Zhao Xu and Eswig both nodded to confirm that there was no problem.
"I'm afraid these two planes will be blocked in the future." Eswig suddenly showed a sad expression and looked back at the city under the tower. The wind in the air was howling at this time.
"Anyway, we can automatically gain the 'Iron Will' specialty when we go out, so it doesn't matter." Zhao Xu comforted.
At this time, time was running out, and Wang Ningwei also took out the mechanical pocket watch in her pocket. Even after losing all the magic items, only this product of the mechanical realm could continue to work.
"3."
"2."
"1."
As Wang Ningwei counted down, she walked directly into the portal and shouted, "Outside the city."
Eswig followed immediately and also shouted: "Outside the city."
Zhao Xu, who was at the bottom, smiled softly, stretched out his hand to touch the mirror surface of the portal that was constantly fluctuating with spots of light, and shouted -
"Temple."
