After seeing the young man asking a question, Zhao Xu turned around and glanced around, and found that there was indeed no one else within five meters of him.
That sentence was exactly what he was asked.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, did he just have such a sarcastic face
The cavalrymen the day before yesterday were like this, charging towards him without any explanation. Entering the burned-out old house, the old hag raised her hand to attack without saying a word.
Isn’t there a place in this world where we can talk reasonably
Zhao Xu initially chose a relatively remote and quiet corner, which was also close to the escape hatch at the back door of the tavern and the adjacent windows, making it easier to escape.
At this time, under the dim light of the lamp, his whole person seemed to be a vague shadow, which could not be seen clearly.
But his words immediately caused the tavern, which had already cooled down, to heat up instantly as if it had been blown by the cold outdoor wind.
Everyone was expecting someone to stand up and denounce the unreasonable behavior of the young man in colorful clothes.
Many people even miss the player groups that can be seen everywhere in Mystra. As they are not afraid of anything, they are also the most daring to challenge the powerful. Of course, the end will not be easy.
Unlike the players who come to Shuanglu Town now, all of them are on a mission. When encountering a storm, they retreat faster than the residents of Shuanglu Town.
"I just sat with my buttocks a little bit up." Zhao Xu said calmly.
At this moment, the eyes of the entire tavern were focused on him, but he felt nothing at all.
As soon as these words came out, the young man in fine clothes immediately looked away. It was not his ability to torment a poor boy.
As soon as Zhao Xu sat down, he felt that the adventurers who were approaching with wine glasses had consciously turned their bodies to the other side, as if they couldn't drink when facing him.
The original look of admiration seamlessly switched to a look of disdain.
If it weren't for the lingering power of the young man in the colorful uniform, I'm afraid some people would mock him for not daring to come forward and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
But no one knew that Zhao Xu was already planning his spell arrangements.
It's not that he wants to take action, but that since Zhao Xu's intelligence has been raised to the extreme, his mind will unconsciously make plans for various possibilities in the future.
The entire tavern was crowded with people, and behind the Washington young man was a seemingly powerful mage, and four guards who also had two or three professional levels.
From their point of view, Zhao Xu was unable to use intense area-of-effect spells immediately.
Although everyone in the tavern saw the domineering behavior of the young man in Chinese clothes, they did not dare to speak out.
But once someone does something like this, the crowd will immediately surge into a thunderous situation.
Therefore, it would be unwise for him to directly throw a stinking cloud spell that covers the entire tavern.
Like those guards, Zhao Xu calculated that his three-ring expansion spell "Ma Youfu Unicorn Arrow" should be very effective.
This spell shoots out like a ray. Zhao Xu is currently a level 12 caster. Compared with just one at level 5, he can already shoot out three rays.
At the same time, the spell itself ignores saving throws and spell resistance. It can cause damage as long as it hits, and it also has a collision effect.
Once the three guards were unsteady, the surrounding tavern guests who shared the same hatred were likely to attack them, including the Sword Speed Team, who was directly dragged into the water and could only fight back brazenly.
This can be seen from the fact that the other party immediately tore up the mission contract and gave up the commission. It can be seen that he is definitely the kind of person who is decisive in battle.
As for the mage, it's a pity that Zhao Xu can't cast the fifth-ring "mentally weak spell" that can weaken the intelligence to 1 point and is designed to defeat the blind mage.
So he was also analyzing the weaknesses of the mage in front of him and thinking about what spells to use to deal with him.
This is also the reason why the player base is often frustrated at first after being exposed to Arthur's mage profession.
A profession like Warlock, which masters six spells per level and is closer to the image of a "mage" in the original online game, is okay.
As for real mages, as the number of spells they learn increases, the factors they need to consider when making decisions become more complex.
Although they were also limited in preparing spells, they began to use disposable items such as scrolls to make up for their flexibility.
But most of them still use some fixed routines in the process of preparing spells, striving to cope with the ever-changing situation with the same.
Naturally, he couldn't be as flexible as Zhao Xu.
At this moment, the young man from Washington looked at the Jianji Team still remaining silent, refusing to give in to his demands, but unable to oppose him openly.
He sneered and waved to the mage behind him, "Then your teammates voluntarily attached themselves to me, so it won't be considered a disgrace to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, several members of the Sword Speed Team who had a crush on the ranger Rattier held onto their weapons tightly at this moment, but did not speak to Moro. They could only die. Death waiting.
Because everyone knows that this is not a personal honor, but a matter of life and death for the entire team.
Suddenly, the mage raised the mysterious scepter in his hand and paused lightly.
Everyone thought that the other party was going to take action, and couldn't help but be shocked.
But everything fell into silence immediately, as if Zhao Xu was uncomfortable holding it and just changed his position.
However, the female ranger Ratier, who was wearing a chainmail shirt and could not hide her bulging figure, suddenly stood up, and the composite longbow she had been holding loosened and fell to the stone bricks. on the floor.
The weapon that was usually taken care of with great care was now abandoned like a piece of grass.
Her eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and she just passed her friends beside her and walked over step by step.
Until she came to the side of the handsomely dressed young man, Latier just sat down and leaned against him obediently.
This sudden reversal made everyone present unable to understand.
According to their thinking, to cast a spell, shouldn't you have to chant a spell? Moreover, they didn't see anyone present having any communication with Nalatier.
Why did she suddenly act like this
"What magic did you just use?" The soldiers in the team suddenly became furious. They stood up and glared at the young man in the Chinese uniform and the mage. However, his tone was not very polite and he did not dare to bite him to death.
"Obviously it's your teammates who couldn't bear the conflict between you and me because of themselves, so they came here to serve me." The young man in the Chinese uniform smiled, leaned back a little more, and found a more mature person. Comfortable location.
At this moment, the woman Latier also nodded obediently, as if she agreed with the other party's statement, and the look in her eyes changed even more.
Zhao Xu, who was standing far away, was also a little surprised by this.
He never imagined that he was actually in an ordinary tavern and could see someone casting a five-ring spell "Dominating Humanity".
As expected, it was hard for the adventurers to obtain the fifth-ring spells during droughts and floods, so they just used them casually in a tavern just to compete for supremacy.
He didn't even care at all. Although everyone didn't see the priest's robe on him at first because of the angle of the shadow, it was quite arrogant to be so arrogant.
"Dominating Humans" is also a bard's fourth-ring arcana, so Zhao Xu can use it smoothly when he masters the fourth-ring magic without having to wait until level 9.
Spell duration is calculated in days.
It can be said that a fifth-level spell can directly attract a younger brother who has been obedient for at least ten years. The only flaw is that this spell can only be cast on "humanoid creatures". If it wants to be effective on monsters, it must be at the ninth-level level. "Domination Monster".
As for Latier walking over without any orders, Zhao Xu also knew the reason.
Because this spell communicates through spiritual links, only simple verbal commands can be used unless the language is not fluent.
As long as they are exposed to this spell, the opponent will go all out to obey the ruler's instructions and will not do anything else except eating and drinking that are necessary for life.
Therefore, after being together for a long time, "Dominating Human Beings" is easier to see through than other magic control spells.
But now the mage obviously used special means to cover up the "spell" and "posture" of his own spell casting, which directly confused the Sword Speed Team and was unable to confirm that their teammates were affected by the spell.
And in these short few seconds, no one could analyze too much.
Zhao Xu could only shake his head at this. A five-ring "controlling human being" would be enough to cause chaos in the world if placed on the earth.
Even for Arthur, these "confusion and control" spells are a big disaster, and the terrible reputation of mages is also half of the credit for these spells.
Commanding people's hearts and modifying their memories are, after all, some kind of "taboo".
"Forget it, since your teammates are willing to sacrifice yourselves to serve me, then I will let you blind people go. Give that thing to our family later, and take back your teammates by the way." The young man in Chinese clothes said. He pinched the face of the woman next to him, laughed and stood up.
The members of the Jianji team, especially the teammates who had just chatted and joked with La Tier, were all full of blood at this moment, and their faces turned blue looking at this scene, but they were helpless.
In other words, under the invisible pressure of the mage family, they were unable to move at all.
They did guess that Latier might be controlled by magic, but this guess would only lead to more exaggerated conjectures.
This mage can already change people's hearts silently.
However, at this moment, a "ghost hand" that could cast a "contact" spell in the air on behalf of the caster appeared out of thin air under the mage's stool. It was extremely hidden and no one knew about it.
At the same time, Zhao Xu, who had been saving for a long time, suddenly stood up, making the stool behind him clank for the second time.
He raised the "Super Magic Instant Scepter" in his hand and pointed the sword forward.
He was not sympathizing with the pitiful experience the woman would have to endure.
Nor did he pity the few members of the Sword Speed Squad who dared not fight back after their loved ones were taken away.
He just didn't like it.
Anyway, tonight's auction was disrupted, so there was no need for Zhao Xu to keep his spells for the New Year.
"Mayoufu Unicorn Arrow!"
A ball of secret energy instantly emerged from the top of the smooth scepter, and turned directly into three transparent unicorns that emitted a faint light and flew forward. They lowered their heads and looked at the few people who were always vigilant around them. The guards charged away.
The mage also suddenly woke up. He immediately looked back at the entire tavern and stared at the enemy who suddenly attacked.
But he didn't notice that the "ghost hand" climbed up behind him quietly.
"Chilling Touch!"
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you use the second-level spell "Ghost Hand" to cast the third-level contact spell "Chilling Touch" on the opponent.]
[The spell ignores saving throws and spell resistance, causing 12 points of agility damage (3D6). The target's agility returns to zero and falls into a helpless state. Time: 12 rounds]
