Until everyone came out of the underground stone room, their expressions were basically different.
The notebook that the entire team was targeting was tightly hidden in a lead box and wrapped with a hemp rope.
Arthur's lead products are often used to shield spell detection effects. When the notebook was placed in it, it became quiet and no longer flew to Zhao Xu automatically.
Regarding this, Zhao Xu suspected that it was some kind of "aggregation"-like characteristic.
He once placed two notebooks next to each other and nothing happened.
When he was in the underground temple, Andy's notebook was in his backpack, and he also held Ghost's notebook in his hand. There was no abnormality in the whole process until the demon was annihilated.
It wasn't until he put the two notebooks together that the two merged.
Unlike now, as soon as he took it out, the notebook felt like it was flying towards him.
So he suspected that this was because his notebook had become "2/7", which automatically attracted another "1/7".
And there is no way to hide what happened under the stone chamber. As the players continued to whisper, the members of the Watcher Guild quickly understood what had just happened.
Zhao Xu also experienced another round of looks of surprise and admiration.
"You think everything is arranged by someone behind the scenes, right?"
"You are thinking too much."
"If not, where have you ever heard of such a thing that automatically recognizes its owner? Divine weapons may not be so smart."
"Or are we actually involved in a certain large-scale epic plot of Arthur?"
"I guess this is still possible. After a while, the mage tower may be activated on the spot."
Listening to these over-the-top comments, Zhao Xu had no choice but to control the phantom pony under him and stay further away from some teams to avoid being infected.
Just now, a group of them opened the notebook in the stone chamber and looked at the real address of the Mage Tower recorded in it while the notebook was flying around. The specific details of the tower will be analyzed later when we set up camp at night.
Zhao Xu also learned about the mage tower that sank in the "Mirror Moon Lake" which was one day away from this swamp.
On the map, Mirror Moon Lake is already close to the Xifeng Valley where various powerful monsters are entrenched, which is also one of the risks of this trip.
After coming out of the swamp, Zhao Xu deliberately stayed away from the Frost Sword in order to distance himself from the notebook. At this time, there was a large "Soul Prisoner Demon" following him, so it was not a big problem.
He was also afraid that he would get too close later, and even the lead box would not be able to shield the connection between the two notebooks.
If you watch a notebook flying around in the wild, enemies who may be observing secretly may notice it and intercept it directly.
Therefore, everyone also agreed that they could only open the lead box and read the contents of the notebook in a closed room.
In fact, Zhao Xu was helpless. Of all the people present, he was the only one who was not suitable to hold that lead box.
According to the agreement, the Mage Tower will eventually belong to him. Once Zhao Xu still holds the notebook, he can tamper with the records about traps and treasures in the notebook at any time, and finally realize the possibility of hiding some treasures.
More importantly, he was afraid that before entering the mage tower, the two notes would begin to merge again, causing something strange that he could not predict.
After a while, as several high-level officials of the union lowered their heads and exchanged words with Shuangjian, Shuangjian still ran quickly towards Zhao Xu.
"Mr. Guangfeng, are you staying?" Frost Sword, who was wearing a full body armor, was not very fast. When Zhao Xu heard the sound, he pulled the reins of his horse slightly and controlled his dismounting speed.
"Huh?" Zhao Xu looked back at the other party in confusion.
"Mr. Guangfeng, after our discussion, I feel that it is better to leave this 'lead box' containing the notebook to you for safekeeping." Shuangjian said.
Zhao Xu hesitated for a while after hearing this.
He noticed that Shuangjian's face was sincere, and during this time together, he was not the kind of cunning and cunning person who would only retreat in order to advance.
If you tell him like this, you may be sincerely leaving it to him.
"No, wait until you have harvested the wealth in the mage tower before giving me this notebook." Zhao Xu declined.
If he really wanted it, he could seize the notebook as a senior investigator of the "Rose Cross" under the stone chamber.
Under the premise that Andy's family, also known as the "Asa family", has demon blood, Zhao Xu used the full power of investigators, which is in line with the regulations.
"Mr. Kuangfeng, I am not suitable right now." Shuang Jian looked serious.
"Firstly, we believe in your character, Mr. Stormwind, and secondly, we may be targeted this time."
"So once a battle breaks out, it is very likely that someone will be kidnapped or the lead box will be snatched away, and the most likely death will be. Once he dies, I can't determine the condition of the final winner. I will definitely choose to resurrect immediately, so that' The lead box' returns to Mystra's."
"And if you hold it, Mr. Guangfeng, you can carry the notebook with you due to your strength and high survival rate. Even if you really can't beat me, you can also choose to transfer the items to my teammates and let them commit suicide and resurrect to teleport away the items. ." As if to persuade Zhao Xu to hold this lead box, Shuangjian deliberately found a convincing reason.
That is to say, once the holder of the Frost Sword dies, even if Zhao Xu and the others win, they still have to go home.
Zhao Xu frowned slightly after hearing this. Indeed, at this critical moment of battle, everyone basically had no time to worry too much, unless Zhao Xu was willing to tell the other party that he also had a "time back talisman" to avoid this situation.
It's just that Zhao Xu now has another "notebook" in his backpack. He doesn't want to cause trouble at all. If it merges directly in the backpack later, where can he change it back to the original notebook and show it to Shuang Jian
Especially since the notebook needed the blood of the Errol family to obtain this, he was a little worried that the mage tower had similar requirements. When the notebook was fused, where would he find such a token.
After all, there is an extra layer of isolation in the underground stone chamber, which also prevents the enemy from capturing the descendants of the Errol family to forcefully open the mage tower.
It's just that the notebook only vaguely mentioned this aspect.
Zhao Xu thought about it and said with relief: "Don't worry, you are really dead. If necessary, I will use the embalming spell to delay your resurrection. Make sure that the notebook will not go back to Mystra."
When an ordinary person dies, there will naturally be only one corpse left, and all the equipment will be picked up by the enemy.
Currently, due to the projection and the resurrection stone, the player will have a period of unconsciousness once he dies. Only during this period, the player's body is still materialized and the body can be looted.
Once the player's consciousness wakes up in the Temple of Creation, they can continue to wait for the body to be resurrected by magic, which can last up to ten days.
However, players generally choose the "Resurrection Stone" to resurrect.
As long as this is selected, the player's body will directly become an intangible body that will disappear after half an hour. This period of time is also the waiting period for the final "spell" to be resurrected.
When half an hour passes and the incorporeal body disappears, the player will resurrect and reappear near the temple. Therefore, Arthur will not appear in two player bodies at the same time.
Once, when Zhao Xu was rescuing his classmates who were killed by a magic giant, everyone who fell to the ground at that time was in a looming incorporeal state, waiting to be resurrected. Later, they were resurrected by a "miracle technique" from Zhao Xu. The natural body was transformed into a physical body, and at the same time, the soul returned to its original place.
The "embalming", a priest's second-level and wizard's third-level spell, can preserve the dead body for several days, thereby delaying the resurrection time limit of "resurrection of the dead".
In the later period, when everyone has more money or after using up the resurrection stone, they will often cast an "embalming" spell and then carry it back to the temple in a big town to seek opportunities for resurrection spells.
Only after the player's priest reaches level 3, the "embalming" spell is often abused to rob corpses of equipment.
Once this spell is cast on the player after death, he will be completely in the physical state instead of the incorporeal state, and can be forcibly stripped of equipment. The body will disappear only after forced resurrection half an hour later.
Half an hour is actually enough to do anything.
Especially after several cases of players stripping away their equipment after successful revenge killings, resurrecting the opponent and turning him into a pauper, everyone became more wary of this spell.
Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Shuang Jian thought that the other party was just avoiding it because he was afraid of suspicion, so he quickly comforted Zhao Xu and insisted on sending the lead box.
And Zhao Xu had a reason why he couldn't take it for the time being, so he could only refuse again.
For a moment, the members of the Watchmen Guild looked at the two people pushing and blocking each other, and they were a little confused.
"Didn't the president give me a lead box? That thing is equivalent to half a mage tower now, right? From the looks of it, I thought it was a bomb."
"Hey, this Mage Guangfeng is so honest and reliable."
"Yes, it seems we are really lucky to have met such an honest and reliable mage."
Just when the two were trying to push back.
The "Soul Prisoner Demon" who was on the 18th level of Scouting and the 24th Level of Listening, who was considered the strongest among all the people present, suddenly stopped and looked at a place in the jungle. This unusual movement made everyone concentrate and follow him.
In the area ahead, where the wormwood was thick and the line of sight was difficult to penetrate, there was the faint sound of weapons clashing.
