[Correction from the previous chapter: Level 6 feat: Spell Twins, Metamagic feat (Spellcasting Level 2): Spell Distant Cast]
Ever since Zhao Xu talked to Wang Ningwei on the phone that night and told her the secret of world travel, even the weakest barrier between the two has disappeared.
If you want to describe it in one sentence, it is the closest comrade-in-arms.
At this time, the periphery of the association's resident area was already crowded with people, and Rota, who was in charge of the construction of the resident, had to stop what he was doing and come out to entertain the high-level officials of these towns.
But everyone's original intention was to contact Zhao Xu through his secretary to know the destination of the portal's hook in advance.
As for the portal craftsmen who came from Mystra, thousands of miles away, they adhered to discipline and treated themselves as if they were mute, and could not say a word.
But no one knew that Zhao Xu, who was very popular at this time, was leaning on a door and having several key discussions with Wang Ningwei beside him.
"It has potential."
Wang Ningwei couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu after hearing this. The meaning was self-evident.
Both of them knew that those with potential points like them had limited meaning.
But the second way to obtain potential points means that it can be spread.
The third and fourth players with potential points can copy them, which is extremely domineering.
"Zhongxia, you have to be careful with this kind of thing after all." Wang Ningwei advised.
Potential points can restore spell slots, which can be said to be just around the corner of a loophole in the world's rules.
It's just that there are few potential point holders, and even fewer of them are mages.
If a mage with potential points can reach the fifth ring, there will be another discount.
In the end, these few remaining people still need to have the means to learn the magic of "unruly heroic spirit". When combined, they are really rare.
This is why this backdoor can still be retained, unlike the "quick burst" that can be learned once it is severely suppressed.
Because its threshold is too low, it is only a second-level spell.
But once Zhao Xu's method spreads, the threshold will be lowered, and in the end it will only be those with vested interests who are disadvantaged.
It’s not that she is selfish, but that what is involved is a huge interest class.
It's the entire group of mages who took advantage of Arthur's loopholes.
"Don't worry." Zhao Xu said, "I'm just telling you this because you also have 'potential points'."
"The simulation expertise is no less powerful than the ability to restore spell slots." Zhao Xu said.
Many specialties are chain-type specialties. If you want to simulate them, you have to pay two potential points.
"What is that?" Wang Ningwei also asked with expectation.
"Remember, Ningwei, you owe me a favor." Zhao Xu joked.
"I owe a lot, Zhongxia." Wang Ningwei smiled.
Then Zhao Xu also became serious. He stretched out two fingers and said, "If you have expertise, you can get potential points."
"The first specialty, 'Dragon Prophet'."
As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked out the window, looking at the tall tower that had just been topped out. The craftsman was hanging above using a carving knife to carve out the emblems of the eight major sects.
"Most places in Arthur, from the endless blue sky to the filthy and indistinguishable depths of the caves, contain symbols. The legendary dragons in ancient times observed the symbols around them and tried to find these natural symbols. The meaning of the traces, trying to get the omen of the legendary 'Dragon Prophecy' from them."
"With this expertise, we can, like those legendary dragons, track down and decipher the records of all things and realize what will happen."
"So with the 'Dragon Prophet' expertise, we will be able to activate a precognitive ability - prophecy of praise."
"Prerequisites for this feat: Knowledge (Arcana) 2 ranks, Languages (Draconic)"
As Wang Ningwei said this, she saw Zhao Xu suddenly raise his fist high, and then his whole body began to emit a mysterious aura.
At this moment, he seemed to be a prophet, his eyes had lost focus, as if where they fell was the river of destiny.
Then Zhao Xu stretched out his finger and pointed lightly at Wang Ningwei's forehead, just a little.
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you awaken the level 9 character specialty: Dragon Prophet and gain the ability of "Praise of Prophecy".]
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you cast "Praise of Prophecy", saving throw +1 insight bonus. Duration: 3+1/2 knowledge (mystery) = 9 rounds]
In an instant, Zhao Xu saw that he had predicted that the number of praises dropped to 7 times in total 8 times (level/2+perception adjustment).
He was also in this state at this time. In addition to the small level 1 improvement, he seemed to also see something strange about these mysterious symbols.
"The second key feat is called 'Prophecy of Heroes'."
"Its prerequisite specialty is 'Dragon Prophet'. The effect is that as long as you are in the 'Prophecy of Praise' state, you can get 1 action point. This 1 potential point is also the key to activating the 'Uninhibited Heroic Spirit'."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu continued to raise his finger and made a complicated gesture, which in Wang Ningwei's opinion revealed some immortal meaning.
"Potential Point Simulation Feat: Prophecy of Heroes."
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you activate the "Prophecy Hero" specialty (potential point simulation).]
[Adventurer Zhongxia: You gain 1 temporary potential point (Prophecy of Heroes), lasting: 9 rounds]
At this time, the value on Zhao Xu's panel also changed to—
Potential points: 9+2 (temporary)
Zhao Xu then told the details of his second specialty "Prophecy of Heroes".
After listening, Wang Ningwei also took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions.
"Use a 'Prophetic Praise' ritual action that lasts for almost one round to activate 1 temporary potential point that lasts for several rounds. It is already difficult to reproduce it in combat situations. Therefore, it can only be used to activate 'Unruly Heroes' Spirit' and dual-specialty situations like making a portal."
As she spoke, Wang Ningwei looked at Zhao Xu curiously, "But for you, the price is a bit high. Although the second prophecy hero can be simulated with potential points, the price of a specialty may not be worth it."
If you are a player without potential points, you need to learn the two specialties of "Dragon Prophet" and "Prophecy Hero" to have potential points.
Not to mention two, even three are worth it.
This is what "potential point" is all about.
It is equivalent to communicating infinite possibilities.
However, Zhao Xu gently patted Wang Ningwei on the shoulder, "Being able to simulate the use of two specialties at the same time, you can slowly experience this."
"Moreover, we have expertise that can be washed away."
"impossible."
Wang Ningwei showed an unbelievable look, "After the catastrophe, the 'retraining' of returning one's own potential and re-selecting specialties has no longer been heard of."
Zhao Xu, on the other hand, remained silent and took out a scroll box from his backpack and handed it over.
Wang Ningwei unfolded the magic scroll with a puzzled tone, "Is this material and length an arcane magic that exceeds the seventh ring?"
The next moment, her eyes were completely attracted, and her voice even trembled slightly.
"How can it be?"
On the scroll, two eight-ring spells "Abandon Chaos" and "Convert to Chaos" are recorded. This is a magic scroll that can cast these two spells.
Now that Wang Ningwei is in hand, she can even cast these two spells with a gamble.
"It's really hard to believe, but Ningwei, you should understand it now."
As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked out the window at the five-meter-high semicircular arch-shaped stone doorframe that was being built, which was also the base of the future portal.
"Spells are Arthur's primary productivity."
"We mages are essentially the cheaters of this world."
"This scroll is my birthday gift to you."
observatory.
"It's strange. There have been a lot of 'flash explosions' on the moon recently."
A researcher wiped the lens on his hand and looked at the analysis report in his hand carefully.
Another researcher shook the coffee in his hand and sniffed the aroma wafting from it. "Meteorites hitting the moon may actually happen every day. What's the big deal?"
Since amateur astronomers observed the appearance of mysterious bright spots on the moon many years ago, astronomers have joined the research and speculated that this "moon flash" is essentially a meteorite impacting the moon.
Compared with the earth, the moon has no atmosphere and faces meteorites falling directly, without any friction protection.
This is one of the reasons why the moon's surface is bumpy.
"But what was observed was different. The last time it was observed on a large scale was during the total lunar eclipse last year."
"Hey, when will our institute's 'Lunar Impact Detection and Analysis System' project be approved?" the researcher said with emotion.
"Just wait and wait. If I can get it approved for you within this year, I will laugh."
Just as the two of them were talking, another bright spot suddenly flashed on the distant moon.
It excited countless amateurs around the world who pointed their telescopes at the moon and enthusiastically recorded the situation at this moment.
On the other side, Zhao Xu was on the rooftop of the dormitory, holding hot tea and enjoying the gentle evening breeze.
Under the naked eye, the moon is still extremely bright, a disc of jasper.
But he knew very well in his heart that his days on earth were not long.
