Zhao Xu, who logged into Arthur again the next day, felt refreshed.
For the first time in two weeks, he got eight hours of sleep.
To prepare spells, a mage must sleep for eight hours, regardless of the difference between light sleep and deep sleep. Many people complained about this in his previous life.
However, these do not hinder the power of the mage profession.
The place where Zhao Xu logged off yesterday was the obelisk, and he also appeared on the obelisk when he went online again.
Only if he dies will he be resurrected by the Temple of Creation and teleported back to the temple in the last town he passed.
There was once a player who got lost in the wilderness of Arthur and could not find any way back. He had no choice but to commit suicide and resurrect back to the city at the cost of a resurrection stone.
Later, after everyone learned how precious Resurrection Stones were, maps and "survival" skills slowly made their way onto players' lists.
When Zhao Xu came online, Antinoya was already standing there.
She looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Sit down and start preparing the spell."
Zhao Xu followed Antinoya's instructions and sat down quietly cross-legged, as if he was practicing enlightenment.
Zhao Xu had already previewed how to prepare spells when he was learning spells the day before yesterday.
However, Antinoya still looked at his state and gave him a few words.
The obelisk where Zhao Xu is located is the highest point in the entire floating city.
But he still couldn't feel the slightest bit of wind, which was the same as his state of mind.
The general mage is preparing spells, and at this time he is busy flipping through spell books.
All Zhao Xu needed to do was quietly look at the magic models engraved in his heart.
His current process is to cast spells in advance.
The spell is ready in this hour. Next, which spell you want to use, you only need to spend the corresponding "quick", "standard", "full round" or even more time to cast the spell according to the requirements of the spell.
Generally, the mainstream of Arthur's spells is to move time.
There are only a very few spells that are inherently quick in time.
Such as "Feather Falling Technique", which can be released with just one thought, will be compressed into "swift" time.
In actual combat, "whole round" is easy to target because it lasts too long, so most mages are not inclined to use it.
Within one round, even if a "swift" time spell is released, then even if a "marked" time spell is released, the mark movement will be stretched to nearly a full round.
So you throw a spell and I throw a spell, which is basically the normal battle between low-level mages.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Zhao Xu suddenly discovered that his spell slots were all ready.
He wakes up with these spell slots lying on his character card.
All he has to do is spend an hour filling these empty spell slots with specific spells.
Unfortunately, he still has three spell slots that can be used by "Strange Seer", so there is no need to prepare.
This also allowed Zhao Xu to save some time when preparing for continuous battles in the future.
At this time, Zhao Xu stood up directly. He looked at Antinoya and said, "Teacher, I'm ready."
Antinoya glanced at him and said, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Xu nodded.
This time Antinoya flashed directly in front of him, reached out to grab him, and used teleportation again.
"You are about to be transported, do you agree?"
This time Zhao Xu finally saw this sentence appearing on the dynamic panel at the bottom of the character card in his mind.
This is also their privilege after becoming level 1 professionals.
The whole world began to inform them.
However, after he completed the ceremony yesterday, he only asked if he agreed with the action the other party was about to perform, and did not say it was a teleportation.
Because of this panel, the source of information is him.
He thought it was a teleportation, so it was shown as a teleportation.
He could not use this information panel as supporting material.
Zhao Xu didn't make a choice, everything was decided according to the same behavior as yesterday - that is, he agreed by default.
Zhao Xu was immediately teleported from the obelisk to an open and airtight place.
It was surrounded by emptiness, all the way to the high wall at the edge, like a huge cage.
Eternal fireworks were placed all around, illuminating him and Antinoya so much that they couldn't even hide their shadows.
"This is the original arena. Generally, mages perform spell duels here." Antinoya said.
"Your mission is to destroy the summons that appear next."
"There's no need to feel any psychological pressure, it's just a projection. But if you can't do it, then I suggest you go back and do research honestly."
Zhao Xu didn't care at all about Antinoya's words. In his previous life, he had chopped down more goblins than Antinoya had ever seen.
It's just the first time I'm more sensitive to things like blood.
I saw Antinoya pointing casually - "Level 1 Summon Undead Creatures".
A medium-sized human skeleton warrior appeared directly in front of Zhao Xu.
It exuded an evil aura all over its body. A large iron shield directly covered the front to block the main attack. The other hand waved a scimitar, and its hollow eye sockets were pointed at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked at the skeleton warrior in front of him and suddenly became convinced.
In his previous life, he had participated in some battles against the undead army.
It is quite difficult for a civilian to deal with skeletons, but as long as he is a first-level warrior, it is not a problem at all.
Just when Zhao Xu was making his judgment, the skeleton warrior without any intelligence directly followed Antinoya's instructions and charged towards him as an enemy.
Zhao Xu held his breath.
He kept recalling the opponent's data in his mind.
The hit points of a medium-sized skeleton are 1D12, which is 1-12 hit points (average 6hp).
The attack is only level 1, and by dodging, his dodge probability is over 50%.
However, the skeleton's defense level is level 15, and the basic defense level exceeding the natural 10 points is almost level 5, which is very difficult for him now with bare hands.
The advantage is that he has the expertise of proficient initiative, and he can strike very quickly and can often strike the enemy first.
Just as he was thinking this, the skeleton had already closed the distance.
Maybe before he finished casting the spell, the opponent would have already gotten close enough to attack him.
Zhao Xu had to decide what to release with his first spell.
This is Antinoya's test for him, and the choice he makes will definitely determine his score.
Protection from evil, colorful jet, magic missile, mage armor, ray of enfeeblement, disembodiment
Six first-level spells came to mind.
But which one to choose
Magic missiles can release a force field missile, causing 1D4+1 (i.e. 2-5 points) damage, but it may not be fatal in one shot.
Protection from evil is aimed at the evil camp of skeletons, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
The mage armor increases the armor defense bonus by 4 points, ensuring that the skeleton hit rate drops to 40%
In the end, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and chanted the spell directly.
A missile of concentrated energy flew out of his hand.
