While everyone else present was still thinking hard about the specific meaning of this pattern.
Zhao Xu was already analyzing various possibilities in his heart.
After the seven people obtained the seven notebooks from the cemetery, the three returned to Mystra, namely the three major families of Asaph, Andrei, and Errol.
During this period, Zhao Xu also neatly obtained the notebooks of these three major families and successfully promoted two levels.
But he knew nothing about the other four adventurers.
It is barely clear that Tang De, the current leader of the Northern Alliance, has a copy, which he learned through his daughter.
The magic giant family also has a copy, and the magic giant among them is still imprisoned underground near Falling Star Lake.
At present, neither of these two books seems easy to solve, so Zhao Xu didn't think too much about it.
Who would have thought that he would actually come into contact with the whereabouts of the once mysterious notebook in this desolate ruins, amidst the attack of the suspected corpse demon.
In one fell swoop, the cloud of trouble he was currently escalating was lifted away.
Just like those "poet's ways of acting" he just mentioned.
The way a mage plays is also very simple. He studies hard in classics, flips through ancient and moldy ancient volumes, debates magic theories with others, and studies spell-casting techniques.
Magic is not a talent, it's a learned skill - say a group of gifted spellcasters.
This is also the reason why the vanguard of warriors could reach level 10 before time travel in the previous life, while the mages could only reach level 5.
The mode in which most players play the mage is no longer the style of a real mage.
Therefore, Zhao Xu relied on his "notebook" to break through.
Even in the future, he felt that he could only rely on this path to continue to maintain an advantage over the current players.
He looked at the corpse in front of him that he had awakened with magic to answer, but fell into deep thought.
How did the zombie demon connect to the notebook
And counting this way, there are three notebooks near the Northern Alliance, which is already the same as Mystra.
He knew there must be a secret here.
It's beyond coincidence.
But he couldn't ask.
After seeing Zhao Xu withdraw from his position, other adventurers also swarmed over and began to ask their own questions around the body.
The duration of the "Conversation with the Dead" spell is minutes, and it summons the imprint left by the soul of the deceased in the body.
You can know all the knowledge of the deceased through magic, but you can't know any new information.
Therefore, the dead have no secrets.
"President? Have you got an idea?" Vivian followed Zhao Xu closely at this time and quietly communicated with him through a spiritual connection.
The two of them stood leaning against the edge of the tent, avoiding the crowd in front of them, while Vivian tilted her sword lightly, alerting to any unusual movements around her.
If something happened at any time, she would definitely strike with the "Evil-Breaking Slash".
Zhao Xu looked at the corpse surrounded by people asking questions and silently replied: "I'm wondering why it's this bard."
"Maybe it's because he is the least likely to flee." Vivian said, "Although the other person's muscles remain in the stiff state of surprise at the end, it can still be seen that the other person was very happy during his lifetime."
"It's just that death came so quickly that this joy had no time to switch to complete shock."
Zhao Xu suddenly walked directly forward as if on a whim, squeezing into the crowd.
Mixed with the lingering power of Vivian killing people during the day, Zhao Xu casting spells at night and passing down the secret of the poet's upgrade.
Wherever he went, everyone else got out of the way.
After Zhao Xu sighed, he asked the poet's corpse, "What were you dreaming about at that time?"
Dreams are a very mysterious existence. Once you realize that you are dreaming, you will wake up.
But if you know that you are dreaming but cannot control yourself from waking up, you can become the creator of your dreams. This is the origin of the "lucid dreaming" method.
The poet's corpse closed its teeth silently for a few times before making a sound: "I dreamed that I would go back to my hometown town and propose marriage to my beloved. Because after I passed through this ruins, I would be able to meet her. , so I put on my most beautiful dress just to show her off."
This topic seemed to hit the corpse's instinct, and he continued to talk about this topic.
Until someone else interrupts with a new question.
"It seems like joy or a dream made him a target." After Zhao Xu sorted out his thoughts, he told Vivian.
Then he slowly presented his arguments, and Weiwei Ancheng couldn't help but listen and nodded in agreement.
"ah-"
Suddenly, there was another scream outside the tent.
For a moment, the group of adventurers in the tent, each with an average level of two or three, rushed outside in a hurry.
I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a torn cotton coat, kneeling next to the body of a man of similar age and crying loudly. She couldn't help complaining about how the other party had let go of their family.
He also complained that the other party fell asleep at such a dangerous moment.
"They are a middle-aged couple who run a tofu stall in Lucca City. This time they also planned to go to a larger town to operate, so they set out on the road when they saw the commotion. The man was a little sleepy just now, and he squinted for a while, and then... He died with the same symptoms." An acquaintance said.
Is this really a dream murder
This guess suddenly popped into everyone's mind.
This time it was not a professional who died, but a civilian whose physical strength was beginning to decline.
Combined with the fact that players cannot safely go offline, the residents of Arthur are also trapped here.
A terrifying suspicion began to hang over everyone's mind -
Can't sleep.
Several children who had played too much during the day and were already sleepy were sitting on the ground watching this scene. They couldn't help but dozed off, and were immediately woken up by their parents beside them.
Sleep gradually invaded everyone's shoulders, but they kept being slapped to the ground.
As a new round of autopsies unfolded, everyone came to the same conclusion as the first body.
However, the bonfire was still burning brightly at this moment.
The flames shone on everyone's face, and you could still see that everyone was a little tired and tired.
Everyone is already very nervous and tired during the day, and it is even more so at night.
What was originally a problem that could be solved by arranging a few vigils began to turn into an all-night battle.
Everyone who had no idea of a counterattack could only continue to be trapped here, but they did not dare to stare at another terrifying legend and walk through the deserted ruins at night.
Zhao Xu followed several others, and after giving a condolence payment to the widow, he returned to sit at the entrance of their tent.
Vivian stuck her sword on the ground and leaned on it slightly, but her eyes fell softly on Zhao Xu, never leaving him.
"Vivian, do you feel joy now?"
Zhao Xu asked.
As a paladin, Vivian's mind was spinning rapidly, "Since Ms. May guided me to see the great and immortal truth of God. In addition to the synchronized changes in my alignment, I have also fallen into an incomparable peace of mind."
"From that moment until now, I can feel that every pore in my body is cheering for joy, and that feeling of tears filling my eyes because of the beauty of life often lingers in my body."
"I just don't know how this feeling is. It's not consistent with the joy you mentioned, President." Vivian asked slightly distressed.
Suddenly Zhao Xu approached Vivian warmly with a hint of smile, "Then you don't mind if I do a simple and harmless experiment to make sure you are indeed in a state of joy?"
Although his mission is to simply protect Mr. Zhongxia, it cannot involve other special services.
However, Vivian, who wanted to cooperate as much as possible, nodded seriously and then closed her eyes obediently.
But what greeted her was not the unbuttoning of her clothes, but a light finger to the center of her eyebrows.
Three-ring spell.
Refined joy!
"Okay, you are indeed in a happy state." Zhao Xu said.
At this time, Vivian opened her eyes with confusion and saw Zhao Xu holding a glass bottle in his hand, which contained a transparent and white liquid.
"Is this fairy food?" Vivian asked in a low voice, looking at the thing extracted from her body, knowing that it was normal, but still a little shy.
Zhao Xu lamented that it was convenient to talk to knowledgeable people. If he raised the head, the other party could pick up the tail.
"During the previous battle with Tianjie, Ms. Cang Ye seized such a batch of supplies, so I have also tasted it." Vivian explained.
The liquid in Zhao Xu's bottle is the dissipated happiness that he extracted using magic from the target in a state of joy and happiness.
Only on them can joy, joy and happiness overflow in abundance, and can then be collected using magic.
"If the other party's goal is happiness, then the bottle of happiness extract in my hand is the bait."
Zhao Xu explained to Vivian, while gently placing the glass bottle on the ground, and then stood up.
At this moment, a hand suddenly popped out of the void.
