The next morning, after Zhao Xu prepared the spell slot, he stood on the Central Street of Mystra, watching the flow of people passing by.
At this time, he was dressed like a scholar. He was wearing a high-collared cashmere coat. The shirt and tie inside were all pressed properly. He was also leaning on a cane. If he was paired with a butler, Nothing could be further from perfect.
Zhao Xu's first stop was to teach at the Civilian College in Mystra.
This specially arranged stop made Zhao Xu feel that there must be some secrets inside the academy.
So on the one hand, he will inquire about Andy Zeng's information, and on the other hand, he will also prepare for the battle.
For him, he will definitely not give up his own defense and wear a star cloak just for the sake of disguise.
He directly used the first-level "Disguise" and "Transformation" alternately to disguise himself.
If he went to teach dressed as a mage, given the status of the mage profession in Mystra, basically everyone would be in awe of him.
This way of superiors visiting subordinates will prevent them from seeing much of the truth.
This also made Zhao Xu lose his original intention of getting in-depth contact with all walks of life.
When the church bell tower rang the ten o'clock bell, players who successfully logged in to Arthur began to appear vaguely on the entire central street.
Many people carefully observed their surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was the familiar Mystra when they were disconnected.
Judging from the speculation posted on the forum last night, countless people are worried that when they log in again, Arthur's entire world line will have undergone major changes, even if it has been many years.
The native residents of Mystra were not surprised when they saw these projections of players suddenly appearing. At best, it just feels like they all appeared together more neatly today.
At this time, Zhao Xu, who was watching with a stick, also heard the discussion of the players whose projections appeared next to him.
"Fortunately, it's still the familiar Mystra." A priest player said thankfully, patting his chest while praying to the Sacred Heart Church in the center of the city, as if this had become his instinct in the game.
And another female wanderer player who was familiar with the priest, in a town where 90% of the city believed in the goddess, did not dare to tease her whether she was so pious offline, and asked excitedly: "What do you mean online? Player, is it possible that you are in Mystra?"
Online
When Zhao Xu heard this term, he immediately reacted.
Last night, because I met Zheng Xinyun, I was in a hurry to log in and go online, so I forgot that the upper level of the login interface of Arthur game will display the number of people currently online.
In that case, he was the only one in the world who logged in, which naturally attracted countless attention.
But Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention to it. As long as he didn't admit it, no one would be able to say anything about it.
The priest player disagreed with his companion's remarks, "A warrior who digs out the location where the lich hides his phylactery may be able to create a miracle and successfully destroy the lich."
"But there are too many leaders in the Mage Association and the Church of the Gods, and there is no possibility of creating miracles for the people below."
The implication of the priest player is that the person online cannot be a mage or priest at all.
This inference immediately made the female player a little confused.
She also didn't expect that her companion could see it so clearly, "Brother Shu, I haven't seen this statement on the forum. It's your own idea."
The priest shook his head modestly, "Although it's what I thought, but after seeing the power of the Mage Association and the Church of the Gods, any spellcaster player will know this. Everyone didn't say it clearly last night. So what follows That’s why the theory that the player is Dongcheng Ling ended in vain.”
As for Zhao Xu, who was the protagonist the other party was talking about, he was also a little embarrassed.
The only player online was really a mage, and he happened to be standing in front of them.
At this time, most of the countless game players who successfully logged in were also discussing this matter. As long as Zhao Xu was close to the players at this time, he would basically hear similar topics.
The few exchanges between the two allowed Zhao Xu to outline the contention in the forum last night.
He directly reached out to stop a rickshaw, got on it and explained the destination of his trip.
Zhao Xu knew clearly that the priest was right. Compared with a level 1 warrior, a legendary warrior has quantifiable attributes such as attack, life, and combat expertise. It is simply more "fightable".
But compared to a level 1 mage, a legendary mage is stronger than the magical civilization of an entire era. He is so strong that he can turn the impossible into possible, so he will not leave any loopholes that can change history. The other party goes to drill.
When the two players saw a scholar with a cane and an aristocratic look sitting on the carriage, they were not too surprised and continued to talk about their opinions.
Horse-drawn carriages and human-pulled carts have always been the mid-to-high-end travel methods in every town.
It’s just that most people will choose to walk in towns, and only when traveling in the wild will they have no choice but to choose horse-drawn carriages.
Therefore, those who can choose carriages to travel in the city are many wealthy merchants and nobles whose families hire grooms to bear the carriage expenses.
The middle- and upper-class people whose families are not wealthy enough to afford carriages will rent carriages. As for those who live in more embarrassment and don't want to walk with muddy legs, they will hire a rickshaw like Zhao Xu.
Finally, after spending more than twenty minutes and with the rickshaw driver walking swiftly and swiftly, Zhao Xu arrived at his destination, the Civil Service College.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Xu saw that the coachman was panting from running and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a towel.
He directly handed over two copper coins, one more than the general market price.
Because he knows that these are actually living people.
When the coachman saw Zhao Xu's fare, he was overjoyed. The excess income this time could improve his family's food tonight.
After the coachman took the copper coins, he kept bowing to Zhao Xu and shouted thank you, sir.
But when Zhao Xu was about to turn around and leave, the other party would stare at him from time to time.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu was holding his "Super Instant Scepter" as a walking stick.
He deliberately behaved like a scholar who was born in a noble family but could not inherit the title and could only take the civil service route as an affairs officer.
Seeing the coachman's clear eyes at this moment, he thought he had some flaws and couldn't help but curiously asked.
When the coachman was asked a question by Zhao Xu, he suddenly felt ashamed, thinking that he had offended the other party, and quickly explained: "No, no, dear sir, I just don't think you are like the nobles outside."
"How did you figure it out?" Zhao Xu didn't expect that his flaw would be revealed before he even entered the door.
"The look in your eyes when you look at us is not like the contempt with which a nobleman looks at his servants, nor the compassion like that of a scholar. It's more like looking at colleagues who work in different fields." The coachman said, as if he felt that he He said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered his mouth.
When Zhao Xu heard this, he understood clearly. He smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder. No wonder the sages once said that by referring to the words and deeds of others, you will definitely be able to find out what you can learn from."
The other party's words just now made him wake up, and even the dusty mark loosened a little.
He did bring the habits of the earth to Arthur's world, which will become a resistance and a help at some point.
Zhao Xu immediately handed over a marked silver coin as a reward.
Giving him a thousand pieces of gold would only hurt the other person, so Zhao Xu chose some kind of balance.
However, even if it was a silver coin that was insignificant to Zhao Xu, the coachman was still frightened and he did not dare to take it for a moment.
However, Zhao Xu had practiced his skills for a long time, and he easily flicked the silver coin into the opponent's pocket.
Then he turned around and walked towards the door of the Civilian College. However, his originally friendly expression now had a different temperament.
At first glance, it seems very contradictory. There is a sense of warmth like a good friend who has known each other for many years, but also a sense of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.
It's like the charm of the gods in the human world.
After Zhao Xu registered at the concierge of the Civil Service College, he followed the college staff directly to the dean's office.
As an important talent reserve institution in the Mystra public service system, the Civil Service College has a good status in itself. Many "apprentice" spellcasters who have no hope of being promoted to official mages and priests are first arranged to study in civilian colleges before changing careers and entering the bureaucracy.
The entire Civilian College occupies a large area in Mystra, where land is extremely valuable. In addition to more than ten buildings, there is also a spacious auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people. Many times the nearby city hall will come here to borrow this auditorium.
After Zhao Xu spent ten minutes, he was taken to the dean's office and met the current top leader of the college.
Somewhat beyond Zhao Xu's expectation, the dean of the Civilian College was about forty or fifty years old, in his prime. The other person's face was resolute, and he looked very much like a person with a firm mind. The mustache at the corner of his mouth also seemed to have accumulated some time.
But what worried Zhao Xu was that the other party had a badge with three concentric circles on his chest. He was the same three-ring mage as him.
The former standing officer of the Mage Association in Crescent Town was just a "mage apprentice".
The dean of this college was so overqualified that he needed a three-ring mage to replace him. Zhao Xu once again felt that this college may not be as simple as it seems.
After seeing Zhao Xu, Dean Mueller didn't seem to know Zhao Xu's true identity. After a brief introduction and a few polite words to Zhao Xu, he handed Zhao Xu a whole stack of heavy information.
"Mr. Zhongxia, the class you will be in charge of at this time has a total of thirty people, twenty-five of whom are Arthurs, and five of whom are players from Earth."
"This is a tricky class." Watching Zhao Xu take over the three-punch-thick pile of information, Dean Mueller smiled meaningfully.
