The gate tower of Mystra is extremely high, but since the day it was founded, no human army has attempted to attack the city.
The entire four hundred-meter-high stone city walls were transformed by the transformation spells cast by legendary mages. With the blessing of the spells, they were stronger than ordinary city walls made by hand.
However, for thousands of years, no trace of war has been left outside the city walls. Peace seems to be synonymous with this city.
So much so that the suspension bridge at the city gate has never been closed, and Mystra is one of the few cities that is still very prosperous at night without a curfew.
After Zhao Xu and the others met at the city gate, they avoided the crowds, boarded a waiting carriage nearby, and drove directly to the nearby Shuanglu Town, where the middle-aged woman was dressed as a witch. old woman attacked.
The two wheels of the carriage bumped and bumped, and when they ran over the stones on the road, the wind chimes on the carriage also made a clear and clinking sound.
Zheng Xinyun was intently observing the rhythm of the scale, while Eliton was holding the dagger in his hand tightly, taking deep breaths to adjust his emotions.
Those who didn’t know better thought they were on a mission that required death.
Zhao Xuxin calculated that since he wanted Zheng Xinyun and Eliton to undergo a "battle" with sufficient intensity, he naturally had to improve himself in order to suppress the risk situation that might occur next.
He simply slapped the old hag to death, which was no longer fun.
Frost Dew Town is not far from Mystra and can be reached by carriage in about an hour.
Zhao Xu also began to seize this time and cast spells on himself.
He first released the prism-shaped orange ioun stone in his pocket. Suddenly, the ioun stone was pulled directly by the traction force for several times, and began to hover steadily above his head according to the trajectory.
Zhao Xu's original caster level was level 6. This time, after the "cloak" ceremony and the blessing of the iron stone, it was directly raised to level 8.
At the same time, he took out a ruby that had flaws and cracks but was still worth 250 gold coins, and then clenched it hard with his fist, as if he was going to crush it.
It's just that Zhao Xu only has 8 strength and can't do anything to this ruby.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu spoke a mysterious word full of magic as fast as blinking his eyes, while at the same time drawing patterns in the air with his arms.
Although the movements are a bit complicated, Zhao Xu swings extremely fast.
At the same time, he also activated his professional abilities and added them to the spell model structure.
Super Demonic Control—
The spell lasts!
In an instant, a powerful magic power emerged directly from the center of Zhao Xu's fist, shattering the ruby he was holding on the spot.
Crimson powder fell from the cracks in his fists like gravel onto the floor of the carriage.
The incomparable impact force directly invaded Zhao Xu's whole body.
While tearing at his flesh, it also tightly bound his motor nerves.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you use the "Super Magic Control" ability to offset the cost of increasing the 6-level spell slot, and your agility attribute takes 6 points of damage.]
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast a long-lasting "physical sacrifice" spell, the physical attribute is reduced by 8 points, and the caster level is increased by 4 levels, lasting: 24 hours (originally 1 round)]
These two reminders severely weakened Zhao Xu's physique and agility.
Suddenly his face became extremely pale, and the flesh of his cheeks visibly sunk.
"Sir?" Zheng Xinyun and Eliton couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zhao Xu waved his hands in relief, indicating that he was fine.
But the speed of his arm swing was slow and stiff, as if an old man in his seventies or eighties was waving.
Using Metamagic Mastery to take damage to his agility is the way to go.
The 8 points of physical attribute damage are the price for improving his caster level.
Zhao Xu once used the physical sacrifice spell when he was in sync with Artoria.
This second-level mage spell can, after consuming rubies worth 250 gold coins, sacrifice physical attributes to increase the caster level.
Zhao Xu, a level 8 caster, can sacrifice 8 points of physical damage, but has not yet reached the upper limit of 10 points of physical damage.
But every time he sacrifices 2 points of physical attributes, he can increase his caster level by 1 level.
Therefore, Zhao Xu's caster level instantly soared from level 8 to level 12.
Generally speaking, when an ordinary mage's character reaches level 6, he or she will only be a level 6 caster.
Most of them do not have access to the Aoun Stone worth thirty-six thousand gold coins and the ritual circle that can enhance the level of the caster.
For Zhao Xu, for them, level 12 at this moment is equivalent to doubling the caster level.
This means that some spells whose duration and damage power are determined by the caster level are equivalent to being doubled.
But regardless of its status, this spell has only a few users even if it is made public at this time.
Because the "Physical Sacrifice" spell not only consumes expensive materials, but also lasts for a fixed period of one round.
In one round, just drink some water and it will pass immediately, so this spell has never had a bad reputation.
It's just that it is a "personal" spell, in the "personal" or "fixed distance" format that meets the requirements of "spell persistence", so it can be affected by Zhao Xu's "spell persistence" specialty.
Its duration changed from one round to a full 24 hours, increasing to 14,400 times the original duration.
There are many spells that originally last for a fixed period of time, but they are extremely ordinary spells no matter how you look at them.
But after the blessing of "spell lasting", it immediately possesses extraordinary power.
This is true for physical sacrifice, and so is ghost attack.
At this time, Zhao Xu used the "Secondary Restoration Technique" on himself. This second-level priest's second-level magic was itself a paladin's first-level magic.
It can remove the attribute penalty effect caused by magic, or heal 1-4 attribute points.
Zhao Xu's first shot directly removed the physical attribute damage caused by "Physical Sacrifice", and then the second and third shots healed the cost of using the "Super Magic Mastery" ability.
The physical sacrifice spell cannot be used when immune to attribute damage, so Zhao Xu can only endure this damage.
After consuming 3 first-level magic slots, Zhao Xu's attributes were finally restored to normal.
The success gained is also extremely fruitful.
At the same time, for the next 24 hours, he will have a full 12th level caster level, and the damage of his fireball throwing spell is twice as strong as that of a third-level mage.
At this time, Zhao Xu also began to realize the way "Anti Noya" raised the caster level to above level 70.
His "physical sacrifice" was just an appetizer.
As he levels up, the amplification methods he possesses will become more terrifying.
Especially after level 8, when he can cast the evil necromantic spell "Realm of Decline", a four-ring divine spell, he can increase his caster level by killing lives. At that time, the caster level can be directly increased by 50 As much as %.
It is very easy to soar to level 20 or above for a long time.
"Take off your armor." Zhao Xu said.
"Ah?" Zheng Xinyun's face turned red, and she didn't understand what Zhao Xu meant for a moment.
Zhao Xu, who reacted to the ambiguity in his words, chanted a spell on the spot.
"Swarm Mage Armor."
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you get the "Group Mage Armor" spell effect, you get the "+4" level armor bonus, duration: 12 hours]
This time he cast an hour-level spell, so there was no lasting spell, or the short-range spell itself couldn't last.
"Ah?" Neither of them knew what Zhao Xu did, but they both felt that there was an invisible but vaguely powerful armor around their bodies.
"My spell is the group version of mage armor, so the three of us are equivalent to wearing an invisible 'chain armor shirt.'" Zhao Xu explained.
After thinking about it, he gave up the three-ring "High Mage Armor" that could increase the armor bonus to level 6, and instead released the same three-ring "Group Mage Armor".
"Mr. Zhongxia, does that mean I don't need to wear a chainmail shirt during these 6 hours?" Zheng Xinyun said.
After all, she is not controlling a game character verbally. The weight of wearing a chainmail shirt and the inconvenience of movement are all real experiences.
Players on Earth would find it objectionable to wear a backpack or a mask, so most people wouldn't wear armor just for the sake of defense and the sense of security when facing monsters.
"Correction, it's 12 hours."
The duration of a ring of "Mage Armor" is 1 hour per caster level. This is basically known to everyone.
12 hours means a 12th level caster level.
Suddenly both eyes were fixed on Zhao Xu.
"I just raised the caster level. You can do the same in the future." Zhao Xu explained with a gentle smile.
But when Eliton heard this, he looked at Zhao Xu with more respect.
How easy is it to increase the caster level
Coming from a mage family, he understands far better than Zheng Xinyun next to him how rare the means to improve the level of a spellcaster are, and each one is extremely difficult to obtain.
"Do you know why I want to improve your defense?" Zhao Xu began to induce the two of them.
"Because the opponent's melee attack is very strong?" Eliton tried to answer.
"That's right."
Zhao Xu raised two fingers as he spoke, "That old hag has at least a 12th level melee bite attack ability, which can powerfully tear apart armor and flesh. This is why I put on invisible force field armor for you. .”
At this time, Zheng Xinyun was already taking off the chainmail shirt in addition to the sacrificial robe. Anyone carrying a load of more than 20 kilograms would have a heavy burden.
"On the other hand, the opponent has spell-like abilities. The most important ones are the 'weakening ray', a spell that can weaken the power, the 'magic missile' that causes damage, and the 'sleep spell' for control." Zhao Xu He said with his fingers.
"And the opponent's spell caster level is nearly level 8, so the missiles can reach 4, each with 2-5 HP damage."
At this time, Eliton couldn't help but turn pale, "The magic missile can kill me instantly."
Sleep spells and weakening rays are, in the final analysis, control spells to keep them out of the battlefield.
Only "Magic Missile", this spell can target anyone and kill him and Zheng Xinyun on the spot.
Zhao Xu almost laughed out loud when he heard this, "I asked you to take risks, not to die."
As he spoke, he took out four kinds of things from his backpack and threw them in front of the two of them.
They are the "Shield Spell" magic scroll, the Shield Pin, the Protection Staff and a "Level Spell Immunity" spell introduction.
"These are all means of resisting magic missiles."
Sorry, there are so many people waiting for me to update. I have been struggling with a spell for a long time. Now I feel deeply guilty. I will not set the time flag next time. I will start to apologize at midnight.
