"Teacher, did you finally see the mysterious runes on the Lord of Elements used to unlock the treasure chest?"
After finishing his playful smile, Zhao Xu had to return to this embarrassing situation. In the center of the constant explosion, Zhao Xu naturally did not dare to go back.
If Antinoya hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have been able to get back the second key to the stone tablet in front of him.
"Rune? Oh. They have all returned to the four elemental planes."
"Go back?" Zhao Xu didn't expect this answer.
"Yes, the masters of the four elements were suppressed and dissociated and returned to the elemental plane. Naturally, they brought back the runes that unlocked the treasure chest."
When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but pat his head. He suddenly felt a headache.
"Then can I still unlock the fourth treasure chest?"
Understanding where Zhao Xu was trapped, Antinoya smiled sweetly and said, "What are you worried about? When you can use the five-ring teleportation to other worlds, you will naturally have a way to move to the four inner planes." Find the remaining runes."
"Although you can now rely on the power of the walking staff in your hand and use the nine-ring 'astral projection' spell to find it, I still recommend that you wait for a while."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Antinoya carefully.
You know, since he bought the Staff of Passage on the black market that night, he has never taken it out.
Originally, Zhao Xu purchased it specifically for this expedition to the Palace of Eljo. Who knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was Ernest, so naturally the whole process would not leave him any loopholes to use magic.
But how did Antinoya know that he had such a staff
He didn't refute Vivian's claim that it was May's eyeliner, but it couldn't be that it was also Antinoya's double eyeliner.
As if she had read through Zhao Xu's thoughts, Antinoya almost turned red, "I think I should give you a good lesson on respecting teachers when I go back.
"You don't want to think about what qualifications you used to buy that broken wooden stick."
Mithril Sparkle Badge!
Zhao Xu was startled and remembered that he had joined the Mage Association, and then he easily gained access to the black market in Zhenyu City.
Naturally, these certification records will be reported to the local mages association.
However, Zhao Xu set off for the center of the explosion before dawn that night. Of course, he did not need to pay attention to the follow-up investigation and confirmation of him by the association.
You know, sometimes you don’t just have the money to buy magic items, you also have to have the qualifications.
Especially the magic items circulating in big cities are even more cautious.
If you accidentally sell the Fireball Wand to a madman, the other party will use it to blow up the town hall the next day.
Then no one on the line can escape responsibility.
Therefore, many times when buying high-damage magic items, you need a guarantor to ensure that you are safe and out of trouble for at least ten and a half days.
Whenever a city suspects that a case is related to a specific magic, they will trace back the related magic items that have been sold in the past few days.
This is why Zhao Xu had to follow the rules and procedures to purchase magic items that night.
It just seems that Antinoya went to the association to retrieve the records in the past two days, and only then did he know about the magic items he purchased.
The other party didn't do it on a whim, it was as simple as coming over to see him and then saving him by the way.
Zhao Xu knew that Antinoya was not the kind of housewife who had too much time to spend and could live a leisurely life, which made him feel warm in his heart.
However, as Zhao Xu thought this, his next words changed.
"Then mentor, I'm just going back empty-handed?"
After knowing the origin of the five treasure chests and that Antinoya would not recover them, Zhao Xu easily ignored the other party's existence and complained directly to Antinoya.
After entering the Palace of Azrael, he felt even more weak.
In particular, the lasting power of Lux's transformation into the final scroll has now disappeared, and it is pitifully short-lived.
Now that he had managed to get through two levels, it was so embarrassing to come back empty-handed.
At this time, the "audience" outside the Palace of Eldrao basically thought that he had obtained the artifact after seeing him go out.
At that time, Zhao Xu really didn't eat the mutton, so he got all excited.
"You want compensation?"
After understanding the meaning, Antinoya asked, "Do you want me to give you a dragon ball or something?"
"This is a bit embarrassing."
When things came to a close, Zhao Xu became polite.
But Vivian, who was having trouble just now, immediately turned her head and pretended not to recognize him.
"It's okay, just give me that golem statue. I happen to be short of this kind of collection." Antinoya pursed her lips slightly and looked at Zhao Xu with a proud look on her face.
"Forget it, I'm sorry to have to spend money on the tutor. It's up to me, the student, to bear the loss."
Zhao Xu thought about it and refused "politely".
In fact, if you think about it, a dragon ball can only control a giant dragon, and it has to be discriminated against by the dragon.
Unlike him, now it is equivalent to getting two extremely powerful "Gundams" out of thin air. Compared with Dragon Ball, he will definitely not lose anything.
"Hmph, let's see if you dare to be nice next time when you get an advantage."
Antinoya said, but handed him a similar notebook, "Here, I found this for you after May solved those magic giants for you."
Zhao Xu's mouth was a little crooked. It seemed that someone else was staring at him.
But the moment he took the notebook, Zhao Xu immediately felt the difference inside.
"Teacher, then this notebook—"
"Don't ask me. If I knew, I would make a copy myself." Antinoya waved his hand, "This series of notebooks essentially points to the elemental tomb in ancient times. You can organize it yourself when the time comes. If an adventuring team goes to explore it, you will know that there are many treasures hidden inside."
"I'll go to the Mage Association in Falling Star Town first and wait for you. After you finish your work and deal with the passers-by outside, go directly to Falling Star Town. This journey will be your final test."
After saying that, Antinoya's figure slowly drifted away and disappeared.
Only Zhao Xu was left holding the still warm notebook, silently looking at the empty hall in front of him.
"Vivian, don't act rashly." Zhao Xu silently patted the other party's shoulder, "This kind of El Zhuo Palace will break out at dawn, and then we will be kicked out directly by the opponent, just in time to escape the battlefield at night."
When the Palace of Azhuo returns to the sky tonight, before the major organizations come up with the results of their investigations, the natural first reaction is to think that he "Zhongxia" intercepted it in advance and obtained the "artifact".
At that time, what he will have to face is the "wolf pack" patrolling nearby, trying to find a harvest.
Zhao Xu said that he did not obtain the artifact. Whether the other party believed it or not was another matter.
With just his magical equipment, it would be impossible for him to go out and blatantly prove his innocence.
And how can he prove it? It's impossible for him to follow Xiaoliu's example of having a caesarean section to prove that he didn't eat that bowl of rice noodles.
Everything is naturally decided by the "fist".
As long as he can survive until dawn and the city guards from nearby towns arrive, then he will be protected as a matter of course.
The "scuffle" in the hours before dawn and into the early morning was the test given to him by Antinoya.
"President, don't worry. As long as my sword does not lose its luster, no one can get close to you." Vivian solemnly swore.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but nodded silently after hearing this. The reputation of the paladin was worth a thousand pieces of gold in Arthur's hands.
"Then let's prepare and start waiting for Dead by Daylight to arrive." Zhao Xu said.
The world is like this and will not think that passing two levels means "Zhongxia" is powerful.
They would only think that he had found some secret and passed by luck, and they would even be more eager to ask him about the secret to the level.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Suddenly, a short bell sounded, and an ominous premonition arose in Zhao Xu's heart, but he was too late to stop it.
"Warning, the Palace of Azrael will activate and return to the sky at four o'clock in the morning, waiting for the next activation to come to Arthur. All adventurers who enter will be left in the pit at that time."
In an instant, this extremely majestic and profound sound spread to the ears of everyone within a fifty-kilometer radius of the Twilight Forest explosion area.
Even the adventurers who had begun to fall asleep were awakened by this sound.
Suddenly everyone's eyes turned to the center of the explosion.
That means that in a few hours, at the center of the explosion, there will be Zhongxia who may have obtained the high-level artifact "Holy Breath"!
At this time, Zhao Xu was in the hall.
He almost cursed him out loud. This Azrael Palace must be playing tricks on him on purpose.
This is not a disguised pursuit order, telling everyone that they can come to the crater to intercept him at four o'clock in the morning.
After a while, no matter how dissatisfied Zhao Xu was, he finally regained his composure.
He said calmly, "Vivian, prepare to kill."
