The Truth of Magic

Chapter 544: The portal, the place of arrival

Views:

"Why is there a big battle array again?" A monk player looked in the direction of the town's Mage Association and asked curiously.

Today was not a traditional festival in the North, but he vaguely saw that all the top officials of the town were rushing there.

Even the managers of the mining areas, who were rarely seen on weekdays, all appeared together. You must know that they represent the interests of the alliance's big shots. Even if Falling Star Town was captured before, they had never left the mining area.

"Didn't you see the forum?" Another barbarian player standing at the door of the blacksmith shop, waiting for his recently chipped giant sword to be repaired, shook his head and said.

"What's wrong? I was on the road all night yesterday and was not offline the whole time. I wonder what news happened on the forum." The monk asked curiously.

"Didn't Zhongxia, the lord of the town, break through to level 9?" said the barbarian.

"Yeah, I know that. It's really fierce. Your uncle is still your uncle. It doesn't matter if others gossip. You can slap everyone's face clean with one breakthrough." The monk sighed with emotion.

As he spoke, he looked at his gloves, as if imagining that one day he would be able to throw a punch like this that would shatter all doubts.

The barbarian poked his head into the blacksmith shop and took a look. Seeing that the blacksmith was struggling to pull the furnace without any delay, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Zhong Xia, this top player, happened to be back in the past two days. Well, the key is that he also brought back a piece of high technology."

"Come on, Arthur doesn't have any high technology. Do you think Earth is still in Industry 4.0?" the monk spat.

"You are so naive." The Manzi player said in a sad tone, as if he had just experienced the ups and downs, "That's the portal!"

"I go!"

As soon as he said this, the curious monk was immediately speechless.

A "mysterious magic device" worth thousands of dollars that most players have never come into contact with in their lives. ���

At this time, players in the town and even local residents knew that the Mage Association's residence had not yet been completed, but after hearing the news about the portal, they couldn't help but flock to it.

Compared with the portals that are only reserved within the strict gates of the Mage Association or in the ancient tombs of inaccessible ruins, the fact that the portal is about to be built in Falling Star Town has ignited the attention of everyone in the town the moment the news spread. point.

The high-level wealthy households in the town naturally felt that they now had a special channel. If they wanted to cross the endless continent of Arthur in the future, they no longer had to spend a full 450 gold coins to ask the five-ring mage to use the "teleportation technique".

The point is that's not quite accurate.

As for the accurate seven-ring "Advanced Teleportation", the double casting fee of 910 gold coins is even more painfully expensive.

Players even discovered that the "distance" restriction that prevented all players from flowing freely seemed to have a slight possibility of being broken.

Especially since Zhong Xia, as a lord, is also a player, he can take out the portal and pay to use it at any time, instead of keeping it secret like the Mage Association.

Therefore, the portal, a mysterious magical device that can connect two locations on Arthur and connect them through a dimensional passage, instantly became the hottest topic in the town.

The surrounding cities also cast their gaze over.

And now the money owners in the game, and even some large guilds with strong krypton gold strength, have also realized what terrible channels Zhao Xu has, who can build the portal.

There is no basis for equal negotiations between the two sides.

"I remember that the current scale of Falling Star Town does not meet any of the 'nineteen elements of the portal strategy'. How can the association send people to build the portal?" At this time, Wang Ningwei stood next to Zhao Xu and asked.

Zhao Xu looked at the magic craftsmen dispatched from Mystra in front of him. One of them was a fifth-ring mage who was specifically responsible for supervising and participating in the establishment of the portal.

"It's very simple." Zhao Xu rubbed his fingers as he spoke.

"Money?" Wang Ningwei was surprised.

If the money was useful, the Mage Association would not be criticized for being stubborn.

"No, it's a seal from a goddess. This is the premise for all exceptions and special things to be done." Zhao Xu said.

"Your backdoor approach is quite fair and aboveboard." Wang Ningwei couldn't help complaining about this.

Arthur is not the only one who masters the portal skills of the Mage Association. Some high-ranking priests of large churches, secret sects, mysterious groups, monster races and even dark and evil forces also have the skills of mastering portals.

It’s just that the portal itself is extremely restrictive.

Whether it is a one-way transmission or a two-way transmission portal, there needs to be a clear transmission area, that is, a 'door' must be established in that place, and it cannot be moved from now on.

The Mage Association's teleportation gate has the largest teleportation network.

Just like a telephone, the portal of other forces is a single-line landline that can only communicate at a fixed point between two units.

The portals of the Mage Association have formed a network. As long as the authority is opened, they can point to the portals of the Mage Association in other towns.

The "goddess" seal in Zhao Xu's hand gave him the highest authority level on the spot.

He chooses which locations to open, rather than being faced with a showdown, even like the portals in some towns, which can only go to one point in Mystra.

At this time, Wang Ningwei spread out the portal design drawing in her hand, nodded and said, "Building a portal actually requires the 'Create Portal' expertise", and she can use one of the teleportation techniques, advanced teleportation, gates to other worlds, and teleportation circles. . And 'Create Portal' also has the prerequisite skill 'Create Strange Objects'. No wonder you had to bring someone from Mystra. "

Wang Ningwei knew Zhao Xu well.

If the opponent has potential points, he can simulate his expertise.

It's just that what he lacks this time are two specialties. Unless he is willing to spend 2 potential points at once to use his capital, he can only simulate the specialization of 'Creating Strange Objects'.

Rare items are also the most extensive type of magic items. In addition to weapons, shields, armor, rings, staffs, wands, scepters, potions, and scrolls, other magic items are all wondrous items.

And each category here is a corresponding item manufacturing expertise.

"Fortunately, Mystra is not more than 5,000 kilometers away from the North. Otherwise, I would have to make another trip to the portal. These construction equipment are not easy to transport." Zhao Xu sighed.

The teleportation distance is 160 kilometers per level. Considering that Zhao Xu is over level 30 as a caster, he can easily teleport a distance of 5,000 kilometers.

The radius of the earth is more than 6,000 kilometers, while the north and south ends and east and west ends of China are more than 5,000 kilometers.

Zhao Xu is now a powerful person on earth who can travel thousands of miles a day.

"So your power is extraordinary." Wang Ningwei nodded.

The item load of the teleportation spell cannot exceed Zhao Xu's maximum load, so with Zhao Xu's current strength exceeding 40 points, carrying a load of several tons is not a problem at all.

And every three levels he can carry an additional medium-sized creature, which is more than enough to bring along the craftsmen and mages of these portals.

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing at this time.

He could still imagine the five-ring mage who could only teleport thousands of kilometers even to death, and his surprise when he heard that he could travel across five thousand kilometers.

"But after learning the other party's experience in establishing the portal this time, I decided to build a portal between the 'Adventure' and the town that I traveled through."

At this time, Wang Ningwei looked at Zhao Xu with playful eyes, "But the association definitely has no such plan this time. In other words, your level 9 specialty has decided to learn 'Creating Strange Objects'?"

Wang Ningwei instantly analyzed Zhao Xu's possible next move.

At this time, they were standing in a temporary wooden house. Zhao Xu had already deployed the "Mage's Secret Room" around them, a five-ring spell that blocked outside vision, sound transmission, and detection of spells. They did not have to worry about being heard by outsiders.

Upon hearing Wang Ningwei's inquiry, Zhao Xu glanced at his current list of specialties:

[Defect feat 1: Spell proficiency (vulnerable to injury)

Flaw Feat 2: Bizarre Seer (Civilian)

Human Bonus Feat: Versatile Spellcaster

1st Level Feat: Combat Casting

Level 3 Feat: Item Familiar

6th Level Feat: Spell Twin

9th Level Feat: Vacancy

Metamagic Feat (Wizard 5): Spell Duration

Metamagic Feat (Spellcasting 2): Spellcasting

Metamagic Storm (1 year): Spell Maximum Effect

Chaos Double Wash (Iron Will): Spell instant cast

Priest Domain (Plan): Spell Delay]

Sure enough, there is still a lack of expertise!

Zhao Xu shook his head, "I didn't plan that."

"The main thing is that I now realize that the 'potential point' is actually more useful to me."

"There are too many specialties that essentially have prerequisites to form a chain. The prerequisite for simulation expertise is to meet the prerequisites for the expertise."

"However, you will definitely not be able to use your essential potential points." Wang Ningwei pointed out.

Undoubtedly, Zhao Xu's current 9 essential potential points are the premise for him to use his "uninhibited heroic spirit". Once used up, he will lose all possibilities.

"Ningwei."

Zhao Xu showed a deep smile as he said, "This is what I gained from this trip to the Goddess' Kingdom."

"Besides unbridled heroism, this is the second way to obtain potential points, even if you don't have potential points yourself!"

"Want to hear it?"

As soon as Zhao Xu spoke, it was like thunder falling from the sky, directly slicing Wang Ningwei's heart open.
