Although there were a large number of people watching the excitement at the gate, after Zhao Xu revealed his "counterattack spell", everyone onlookers were immediately frightened.
People who have received training can completely see that the "stick shadow" condensed on the mysterious mage's body can not only cause real damage, but its own attack skills are also quite superb.
It completely exceeded the level of most people present.
It is equivalent to countless afterimages of warriors attached to the mysterious mage. Once someone attacks him, the powerful warrior will step forward and give him a blow.
This is why everyone saw Zhao Xu walking in gracefully, but they didn't dare to stop him.
This time, compared to the last early morning visit, Zhao Xu directly followed the direction in his memory and returned to the dilapidated old house.
Compared with the last time, now he has influenced Zheng Xinyun, allowing him to enter the game early and is about to complete the priest's training.
But Zhao Xu's eyes immediately froze.
On the day of the last Battle of Falling Star Lake, the dilapidated wooden gate was not locked this time, leaving a gap open and closed.
Last time, he directly used magic to jump over the wall, and did not use "knocking" to open the door.
This time, Zhao Xu directly relied on the "flying technique" to once again fly over the stone wall with almost all the bricks falling off.
"Oh, you are very cautious now."
Antinoya was standing by the patio in the front hall at the moment. She was just looking down at the water in the deep well, and her face was rippling in the microwave.
"So it's really you, mentor, who opened this door?"
Zhao Xu didn't expect that Antinoya would leave the door open for him. He thought some wild child had sneaked in to explore the haunted house or something.
According to his philosophy, a woman like Antinoya, who has no fingers in the spring water, should use magic such as wall penetration to create a passage.
How can I endure all kinds of spider silk and gecko droppings on the door and just unlock the door and push it open
Strictly speaking, if she really wanted to do this, she would just let the magic do it for her.
"This will be the door of the association from now on. According to traditional rules, it has to be open like this from the first day we arrive."
Antinoya explained, but she immediately smiled, "By the way, Zhongxia, are you working so hard to look cool now?"
"spell?"
"The 'retaliation counterattack' spell you just used really made the opponent hit you and then seek a counterattack."
"Oh." Zhao Xu immediately reacted, "Anyway, I can offset the damage. While the effect of the 'Ruin Explorer's Wealth' spell has not disappeared, I just used the Star Cloak to have a 100% damage reduction effect. ”
In this way, he can not only trigger the effect of "counterattack spell", but also be harmless to himself.
"Oh, so this is the reason why you were so cool." Antinoya said in a cold voice, "For us mages, even if we feel safe, we should not put ourselves in danger."
For some reason, Zhao Xu noticed something strange in Antinoya's tone. He remembered that she rarely educated Zhao Xu like this.
It was as if the other party had witnessed some kind of disaster before, so he was so sensitive.
"They can't even tell whether your letter is genuine or not. Given their preconceived notions, it won't work if you give them a badge. So you just threw a 'Stinky Cloud Technique' at that time."
Zhao Xu nodded in agreement.
In fact, most of the people guarding the door in his previous life were his subordinates. This subtle psychology made him use a more euphemistic defensive counterattack tactic just now.
"But mentor, I'm here to be the vice president, why am I starting from scratch?"
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at this dilapidated building and complained to Antinoya.
Since ancient times, those who have succeeded in the past have enjoyed happiness.
What we pioneered in the past was to work for the enjoyment of future generations.
Zhao Xu, who has read the history of the birth of the Mage Association, knows better than anyone else how difficult it is to establish a branch of the Mage Association from scratch.
"If you can't even build the structure of a small town, how can I safely let you go out and control a branch of a country in the future?"
Antinoya said in a calm tone.
Vivian, who was on the side, followed silently. She regarded Antinoya as a saint, so she silently stood at the door to look out for the two of them.
Hearing this, Vivian couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xu.
"country?"
Before Zhao Xu could say his rhetorical question, his thoughts immediately changed.
Antinoya actually planned to let him serve as the head of the national association branch.
For example, the association branch of the Northern Alliance controls the power of all the town mage associations in a region.
In this way, he wanted not to be fooled by the people below, so he did personally participate in the establishment of an association branch from the very beginning.
That is to say, people who come from the grassroots level are not easily fooled by the grassroots level, and they also understand what the grassroots level can and cannot do.
"What about mentor, my partner as president?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but continue to ask.
At this point, he had begun to tacitly give up on his original goal of coming to paddle.
"It was originally planned to be vacant, but since you've improved so quickly, we decided that you would take over."
"Teacher, my level is not high enough." When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn't expect that he could be a higher level, so he immediately declined politely.
According to the association's organizational rules, he, a third-ring mage, serves as the vice president of the small town's magic association branch, which is barely qualified.
But for the president, you must definitely require four rings.
"That's right, so you should upgrade to level 7 now. This is what the organization requires of you."
Antinoya ordered Zhao Xu in a calm tone.
"ah?"
Zhao Xu almost thought he heard wrongly.
"Instructor, this is level 7, not buying a cabbage on the roadside or something like that."
Why, listening to Antinoya's words, it seemed as if he could transform into Superman casually.
You must know that the highest players on the forum are almost on the verge of level 5, but in the end they still have not taken that step.
If he were to upgrade now, he wouldn't be able to skip two levels directly, which would blow up the forum.
"You talk a lot, didn't I give you the notebook I found in May?" Antinoya bit her lower lip and looked at Zhao Xu's troubled and distressed look with a happy face.
Zhao Xu immediately said politely, "But mentor, look, I have almost accumulated enough now. Isn't it a waste to upgrade directly with my laptop?"
He is now equivalent to a person whose progress bar has reached 99%.
If you still use the kind of cheating device that can go from 0% to 100% at this time, it will be a bit regretful for the previous "efforts".
The last time Zhao Xu finally chose to use a notebook, it was because level 6 involved two elites advancing at the same time, which was a "violation of the rules".
Even if he bypasses the restrictions by swearing an oath to the origin of magic, he still needs to make a huge "accumulation".
So at that time, the "notebook" was a supplement to my own lack of energy.
Even after that, it was still not enough, so he relied on Antinoya to make him a wish to break through.
However, Antinoya shook her head and said, "Zhongxia, your calculating personality is not manly at all."
"Teacher, I want to prove whether I am a man or not. This is level 1 life energy." Zhao Xu almost said through gritted teeth.
But he really didn't have the guts to confirm it to Antinoya.
"You must know that the artifact 'Holy Book' in the Goddess Church can also increase every divine spell caster who reads it by one level. But everyone only has this opportunity to read once in their lifetime."
Zhao Xu silently told the power of another artifact with similar functions, and also told Antinoya how significant that notebook was.
"Hmph, if you keep procrastinating and not upgrading, believe it or not, one day you will wake up and find that you are the God of Death and not you anymore." Antinoya joked.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
After all, Zhao Xu was still a little vague about the secrets of the gods, unlike someone like Antinoya who could even trace them back to the first generation of gods.
"If you think 'you are not you' is a good thing, then it does count."
Zhao Xu looked at Antinoya at this time, and the other person's smile was a little subtle.
"Don't you mean that death is the final destination of the God of Death and that he is a god who cannot be resurrected?"
"Yes, but the premise is that the God of Death is truly 'dead'. Or are you more confident that you are more qualified to define 'death' than the God of Death?"
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, as if an extremely thick lightning struck his mind.
He glanced directly at his whole body, as if the power of the real god of death would spurt out of his body at the next moment.
The Temple of Death outside the city of Mystra.
"The Place of the Punisher", the demiplane where Death once suffered.
"The Place of Eternal Rest", a demiplane filled with undead creatures.
Amber sarcophagus, where the fragments of the God of Death are stored.
Guarded by an army of legendary undead.
Artificial Death.
These terms kept running through Zhao Xu's mind.
They are all very close to the god of death, but they have not truly accepted it.
For thousands of years, the only "Edmund" who obtained and harvested the god of death became the "God of Killing."
But it also ended in "fall".
"I initially asked you to enter the demiplane of Death to save people. At that time, I was actually debating whether to let you take the Death Godhead."
Antinoya slowly walked up to Zhao Xu, "Because this is a matter of pros and cons."
"The 'godhead' that has not been touched by any previous generation is indeed a shortcut to reach the sky in one step. That is the direction of the sacred breath, so the competition for him in the future will be fierce. As for the 'god of death' godhead, it is just the opposite. If you don't have Handle with caution, it may be Naraku, the god of death, and his will awakens in you."
"Can it be overcome by upgrading?" Zhao Xu asked immediately.
In fact, at this moment, he was not nervous at all.
After all, it was Antinoya's "will" that allowed him to obtain the Death Godhead.
This proves that this matter with "pros and cons" has "more pros than cons" for him.
"That's right, in Arthur's world, there is no such thing as the stronger you are, the closer the enemy will wake up. In fact, the remaining will of the God of Death is also very weak. Only if you continue to use the power of the godhead will the remaining will be activated in disguise through this friction. It’s just the power of will.”
"Therefore, the stronger you are, the less worth mentioning this remaining will is. Especially every time you upgrade, it will have an impact on it. At this moment when it has just condensed a small amount of vitality, it is suddenly treated like this. Basically it will be washed away all at once.”
"Even one day, you become a god through other gods, then these remaining Death Godheads will become your incomparable nourishment. It will allow you to directly divide and control part of the Death God's authority. At that moment, there will be no half. Silk sequelae.”
Antinoya's words slowly made Zhao Xu's mind clear.
No wonder, all this time, Lux has only asked him to use the "Death Godhead" as a battery, or to use the power of this Godhead to create virtual believers.
At this time, Zhao Xu sighed slightly.
A person's destiny must not only rely on self-struggle, but also take into account the process of history.
Now, at level 7, he has to go up to level 7.
"Then mentor, I will merge this notebook right now." Zhao Xu made up his mind.
"Oh, that's not necessary."
"Um?"
"If the power of the God of Death is so ineffective, how could that boy Edmund become the God of Killing? When you used that 'Death Staff' to harvest lives, you actually felt faintly in your heart that you had accumulated more power faster. Life energy, right?”
"So now, you can directly advance to level 7 through other channels."
Antinoya leaned forward towards Zhao Xu at this time. Her head slowly moved closer to Zhao Xu, as if she wanted to form a bridge with Zhao Xu's eyes through her own eyes.
And when Zhao Xu looked directly into his eyes at this moment, he didn't have any thoughts in his heart.
"The final scroll can cultivate such a large number of high-level mages. In fact, there is still a way to cheat."
"That's the stage of breaking through the level. You can break through this screen by learning and mastering high-level spells."
To put it simply, if he can learn fourth-level spells, he will also be a level 7 mage.
"But I'm not in Mystra right now. Should we teleport back first?"
"This method requires entering the 'body space' of the final scroll, rather than the 'projection space' you went to before. Everyone has only one chance to have the strongest impact, and most of them use it when they choose to break through the 'legend'. Do you want to waste it now?"
"ah?"
Zhao Xu was also a little surprised. If it was really effective, Antinoya would have arranged for him to break through at every level.
"Don't worry, the Death Godhead has accumulated enough energy for you. You are now separated by a very small layer and can break through with a little effort. So I also have my own way to achieve it in disguise."
"You just had the residual power of the 'Final Scroll' in your body. Although it is very weak, it is enough. And I have entered the body of the Final Scroll."
"So wait, I will let go of my mental guard against you and let Zhongxia you enter my memory. Then Zhongxia you can use the 'wisdom heart spell caster' ability to copy in the memory space of the fourth-ring spell that I opened up. Spells to achieve a breakthrough to the fourth level 7 ring. This kind of space of being and not will not affect your sensitivity to become a legend in the future."
As he spoke, Antinoya suddenly turned serious and spoke in a vicious tone.
"Zhongxia, I can warn you."
"At that time, my memory was open to you. If you dare to peek at my other memories."
"Then I promise to use the Eight Rings' 'Transform All Things' to make you regret it forever."
"For example, you can only call each other sister with me from now on."
