In the second half of the night, Zhao Xu and White Dragon Cyrus still couldn't resist their sleepiness. They secretly cleaned the room where they had just been interrogated, washed away the fly ash that the vampire had turned into, and then rushed back to the hotel room next door. sleep inside.
At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes were already curled up.
However, he still reluctantly splashed water on his face, and after regaining his energy, he sat back in the hotel room that would be his place of residence for some time to come.
After getting the "Howard's luxurious bedding" from Antinoya, he only had to lie on the bedding and sleep for one hour every two days, which would be equivalent to eight hours of rest.
It's just that everyone hasn't traveled through time yet, so Zhao Xu's body on earth can't really be restored. It's just that he can make do in the game without hindering his spell recovery time the next day.
At this time, Zhao Xu was sitting at the desk, with a blank roll of smooth parchment spread out in front of him, and a quill hanging on the ink bottle in front of him.
The oil lamp on the table slowly spreads this warm light, giving the alchemy tool set, spell material package, and thick stack of magic books in front of the table a smoky yellow hue.
At this late night moment, in addition to the faint snoring and the sound of crickets outside the window, there is the "tick-tick" sound coming from Zhao Xu's table from time to time. It is his automatic shorthand quill that uses the remaining spell slots today. , transcribing spells on the scroll.
Zhao Xu returned to Falling Star Town and basically just needed to consolidate his level 8 abilities and master the remaining skills.
After selecting the key next-level arcane advanced profession, he can read the "Notebook" and then reach the invincible level 9.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the parchment on the table, which was so new that it was shiny and translucent. He gently wrote "Super Demonic Mastery" on it in dragon language.
This is the third level ability of the Super Magic Shaper after his 8th level, and it is also the last level ability.
Unlike other advancements, which have levels 5 and 10, the Metamagic Shaper reaches its peak at level 3, and there will be no further level 4.
Therefore, on the divine side, he can continue to advance to the fourth level of Spell Guardian, while on the arcane side, he has to consider a new advancement.
As for the ability of "Super Magic Mastery", Zhao Xu once again saw the perversion of the advanced "Super Magic Shaper".
Compared with this advanced level 2 ability, which can gain additional metamagic expertise, metamagic mastery is extremely powerful, but it is slightly accumulated due to the level 1 ability "metamagic control".
"Super Magic Mastery" can reduce Zhao Xu's super magic cost by one link.
Among the mage's specialties, there happens to be one specialization that is completely consistent with this ability, and that is the legendary specialization "Improved Metamagic".
Therefore, at level 8, Zhao Xu gained a legendary expertise level ability.
In the future, if he uses instant spells, he will only need to upgrade it by 3 levels. In exchange for his metamagic control ability, he will also lose 1 point of attribute damage.
The level 10 abilities of Super Spellcaster and Spell Guardian are similar abilities.
But for Zhao Xu, who is now immune to attribute damage and then casting spells, its significance is no longer so great.
However, Zhao Xu also relaxed his mind and body, slowly feeling the pulse of this ability in his body, trying to master and become familiar with using it.
As for the Spell Guardian's level 3 ability, it is the same as level 1's "extending specific magic."
He can choose another spell and later convert the prepared higher level spell into this specified specific spell, which is better than nothing.
Zhao Xu's current huge ability system, combined with his expertise, has made him quite comprehensive in all aspects.
An ability such as "extending specific magic", which is very powerful for other mages, has almost no improvement for Zhao Xu.
While thinking this, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly fell on the four-ring spell "Transformation" he had prepared.
The first transformation is the second-level "Transformation Technique", and the second transformation is the fourth-level "Transformation Technique".
It can be said that the emergence of transfiguration has opened the door to power for the majority of mages.
According to Antinoya, among the core spells, the most powerful spell is the nine-ring "body change".
The strength of this spell only depends on how well he understands the monsters in this world.
After he separated from the smuggling caravan, Zhao Xu met the golden dragon Campas who was entrusted by Antinoya.
At that time, Golden Dragon Campas told Zhao Xu the secret of how to use the nine-ring body transformation, and even showed him how to become several extremely powerful creatures on the spot.
Although its own golden dragon body is also stronger.
Among them, the ancient golden dragon Campas also specially explained some contents about the four-ring transformation technique to Zhao Xu.
Perhaps in his eyes, this was the key spell that Zhao Xu obtained first.
Transfiguration is a touch spell with a duration of minutes.
Zhao Xu can transform a willing creature into the form of another living creature by casting a transformation spell. In addition to the original race, the types of cross-race creatures are limited to: monsters, animals, dragons, fey, giants, Between humanoids, magical beasts, humanoid monsters, oozes, plants, or insects.
The new form's Hit Dice are determined by the lower level of the subject or the caster, with a maximum of 15 HD.
It cannot become incorporeal or gaseous life, but it can gain new dimensions of strength, agility, and constitution in a new form, and at the same time master special attacks.
However, special abilities, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities will not be obtained. Only the physical changes of the nine rings can break through and obtain "supernatural abilities".
Zhao Xu knew very well that just this way was powerful enough.
For example, in some special crisis situations, when Zhao Xu wants to be immune to effects such as poison, paralysis, shock, and transformation, he can transform into mud-shaped monsters to obtain their racial talents. For example, if he wants to gain immunity to fire, he only needs to transform into the corresponding fire subtype creature.
Of course, you can also transform into a mount and fly in the air with your partner to engage in guerrilla warfare.
Especially Zhao Xu, who is an alien creature because he comes from the earth, so he can still transform into an alien creature after transformation.
Environmental factors are no longer obstacles to his progress.
While he was drawing like this, thinking about the next scene where the transformation technique would be applied.
In this originally extremely peaceful night sky, a scream suddenly sounded, shrill and sharp, as if it contained some incredible wail.
Several doors adjacent to Zhao Xu also made rumbling noises at this time.
Apparently several of his companions were also awakened by the cry, and they all quickly prepared their weapons.
Zhao Xu sighed, glanced at the shorthand quill that was still copying, and then put the star cloak on the side. At this time, he was wearing the great sage's robe, which he could not take off for a moment.
By the time he walked to the corridor outside, Vivian and Bailong were already wearing basic equipment, and Antinoya was also fully dressed, obviously wearing magic.
"Go down and take a look?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Go ahead."
Antinoya nodded, "If there is an accident at the hotel where you are staying, you have to solve it no matter what.
Immediately, a few people followed the gazes of the curious people around and squeezed through the crowd. Finally, they saw a deceased man lying on the ground with a pale face, and a woman lying on him beside him, crying bitterly.
Looking at the body that had not disappeared for a long time, Zhao Xu already understood that something had happened to the native Arthur residents of Falling Star Town.
With that in mind, he slowly stood in front of the corpse. The owner of the corpse was a man in his thirties, with rough hands and a beard.
But Zhao Xu quickly noticed the marks of two dental holes on his neck.
And Antinoya also glanced at it, yawned, and sent a message to his mind, "I'll deal with the troubles I caused, and I'm going to bed. If you wake up in the middle of the night every day, your skin will definitely get worse."
Is it another vampire accomplice? The opponent saw the death of his companion, and then followed him here
Zhao Xu, who had watched many episodes of Detective Conan in an instant, was like a Sherlock Holmes detective. He scanned the surrounding crowds with great agility.
The scream just now was too short before everyone came closer.
This is true even for these would-be service workers.
If he was a vampire who had just launched an offensive, then it was entirely possible that he was still at the scene, looking at them with a mocking gaze as a group of blind flies kept bumping into each other.
In an instant, Zhao Xu made two simple gestures, secretly completing the spell casting action and activating the silence ring to use the magic spell.
Invisibly, he cast a spell called "Detect Undead".
Suddenly, Zhao Xu, with gleaming eyes, glanced at everything that happened in the venue.
If Pale Dawn really wanted to die, he would have no choice but to take action and uproot everything he had in Falling Star Town.
