The Truth of Magic

Chapter 547: Free magic constancy

Views:

Wang Ningwei's words were very simple. She meant to ask Zhao Xu to list a priority transmission list.

But behind the scenes, Zhao Xu was asked to act as a supreme god, screening the life and death of people on earth.

This is not only an extremely transcendent "power", but also a "responsibility" that is difficult to bear.

He can't decide who will die, but he can decide who will be given the "safe spot" first, so that the other party can have enough food and clothing.

Just like when a disaster occurs, the first "precious quota" to leave the city, and those who stay in the city may not die, but they will face the risk directly.

When humans came to the earth in the previous life, the barbaric land could be said to be almost a ruin. Everything from building houses to various living arrangements were started from scratch.

More critical is the issue of food supply.

Even with the full support of the surrounding human forces at that time under the will of the good gods, the food for the seven billion people was still difficult to satisfy.

Famine, a word that many people have only seen in "history books", is once again close to everyone, tormenting everyone's belly.

Soil, although not nutritious, can temporarily relieve "hunger".

Among players, those who can use "dimensional bags" or pull food from thousands of miles away will immediately become the best among them.

It's just that in the scene in the previous life, the people who were immediately taken care of were the relatives of those gamers, and later extended to the earthlings who were talented enough to become professionals.

According to the ideas of the Holy Mothers, everyone should survive equally.

It's just that at the end of the world, the people on the earth who have traveled through time have their "own weight" marked on the invisible scale.

This is also the "iron law" that is still effective in the extremely chaotic era at the beginning of time travel.

Zhao Xu sighed, "You decide."

"Me?" Wang Ningwei was a little surprised.

Strictly speaking, the capacity within the alliance is also limited. The surrounding towns in the wilderness blocked all roads at the beginning of the journey.

Because once it is opened, as long as refugees pour into the city, it will not be possible to immediately provide a large number of jobs to allow these refugees to work in exchange for food.

Moreover, their consumption would cause a city to collapse in an instant.

Only Zhao Xu, as the lord of Falling Star Town, could suppress everyone's opinions and recruit refugees.

This is the reason why this portal can only take effect in Falling Star Town.

At this time, Zhao Xu silently walked to the wooden house and found himself in front of a huge parchment map of two meters by one and a half meters, on which three or four colors of ink were used to describe the surface conditions of the entire Falling Star Town within a hundred miles radius.

Combined with Zhao Xu's "Line Detection" spell and recent feedback from various adventure players, this most detailed map of the current town has been successfully released.

Zhao Xu pointed to the empty tunnel outside the town and said, "Falling Star Town should also become Falling Star City. The new arrivals will be a good supplement."

"Then the plan is to accommodate the people of Earth into the Northern Alliance?" Wang Ningwei discovered Zhao Xu's intention.

"No, the earth will always be your own earth."

"It would be a pity to lose these players who have grown up in the early days to other forces." Zhao Xu said.

In fact, because the Northern Alliance is considered one of the major forces closer to the land of arrival, the original players, seeing the chaotic situation of the earth's forces at that time, were disheartened and returned to the "alliance" with their families. .

Later, when Wang Ningwei supported the entire structure a year or two later, those of them who missed the initial establishment would not be able to go back. It was equivalent to a feeling of parting ways with the "Earth Force", similar to the identity of overseas Chinese.

At this moment, Zhao Xu naturally would not allow this to happen. He regarded Falling Star Town as an enclave on the earth.

"You draft the list first." Zhao Xu ordered.

What Wang Ningwei is drafting now will naturally not be specific personnel, but will only list certain "personnel conditions."

Arranging for these people to come to Falling Star Town through the portal will also protect them.

As for Zhao Xu's relatives and friends, his "teleportation technique" actually does not cost money and can be activated at any time.

"By the way, Zhongxia, since you have reached the fifth ring, would you consider the magic constancy technique?" Wang Ningwei looked at Zhao Xu and asked.

Zhao Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he recalled the spell that he had been thinking about when he was reading the magic book.

Zhao Xu, who could only last one or two hours of reading magic at that time, kept laughing. It would be great if his "reading magic" could last all the time.

Who would have thought that things have changed and people have changed.

Now, depending on his caster level, he can make a "reading magic" last for several days.

The magic constancy spell itself does not create any wonderful effects in Arthur's world. The target it acts on is just another spell.

In other words, it can make certain specified spells permanent.

An "effect" that is more long-lasting and powerful than "spell lasting".

However, magic constancy also has its "price" that needs to be paid.

That is huge life energy!

Frequent use of magic constancy will only lead to delays in upgrading, or even a drop in level.

In an instant, Zhao Xu's "Intelligent Spellcaster" ability came into his mind and he immediately read up the details of this spell.

"It seems that you are ready to use it." Wang Ningwei said, "But now there is a problem, that is, the casting time of the magic constancy itself is 2 rounds."

"And your 'Supernatural Spell' ability can just eliminate the need for casting materials, that is, you can cast 'Magic Constancy' without paying for life energy, but -"

Wang Ningwei frowned as she said this, "I remember that the conditions for using supernatural spells are that the spell cannot exceed the "standard action" time, otherwise it cannot be used."

"So I want to ask you if there is any solution. For example, the 'Selective Spell' ability of the Spell Guard is to fix the spell and release it for a 'whole round'. Even a 1-hour spell can be used. It's shortened to 1 round, but it still doesn't meet the 'standard action' time."

Faced with Wang Ningwei's troubled look, Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "Don't worry, when resources are over-allocated, problems will be solved easily."

Zhao Xu's "Versatile Spellcaster" naturally follows the casting time and it only solves the spell problem.

However, he has the specialty of 'uncanny foresight'.

"I can solve this problem with the Bizarre Seer Spell. At that time, within the spell familiarity range, the spells I selected that do not need to be memorized in the spell book are all 'standard actions'. The ones outside the range are 'full-round actions' .”

Zhao Xu's words were crude but not crude, and he went straight to the core of the problem.

"Spell Familiarity", the defective specialty that Zhao Xu chose, allows him to select spells equal to the intelligence adjustment value. He can prepare them without a spell book, and he can respond even if he loses the spell book.

For Zhao Xu, who has the professional ability of "Wise Heart Spellcaster", it naturally makes no sense.

However, it is a prerequisite for the key specialty "Strange Vision". Zhao Xu can free up spell slots (7) equal to the intelligence adjustment value. He can use these spell slots to cast spells spontaneously.

It's just that the number of vacant spell slots was limited before, so Zhao Xu used more "multitalented spell casters" to achieve spontaneous spell casting.

Strangely seeing him use it less.

Now that there are potential points that can be used to restore vacant spell slots in a targeted manner, the power of this feat has been enhanced.

More importantly, this spell can control the "casting cost" of a spell that takes a huge amount of time and exceeds the standard motion into "standard motion casting", which is perfectly adapted to the "supernatural spell" ability of the Spell Guardian.

A specialty that Zhao Xu mastered at level 1 finally bore fruit at level 9.

At this moment, Zhao Xu deeply felt the depth of Antinoya's plan for him.

There are very few spells that require expensive casting materials, and even fewer of them require spell casting times longer than standard actions.

Therefore, the number of Zhao Xu's spell masters is enough to cover it.

After understanding, Zhao Xu directly opened his backpack and took out the spell scroll that recorded "abandoning chaos" and "converting to chaos". With his current caster level, even if he used the nine-ring scroll with bare hands, it would be There is no risk of failure.

Immediately, the energy of the abyss opened the channel through the magic energy in the scroll, and penetrated into Zhao Xu's body bit by bit, wrapping him tightly.

The "Spell Proficiency" feat had only been unfamiliar for a few seconds before Zhao Xu seamlessly connected to the "Abandon Chaos" spell.

In front of Wang Ningwei, he peeled off his chaotic energy bit by bit.

The "Spell Familiarity" specialty came back, but the familiar spell was re-selected by Zhao Xu, which also added vitality to the spell.

"The feeling you gave me just now was more like a descendant of the Abyss, with that deep feeling of the Abyss. Even the Tanar'ri demons of the aborigines of the Abyss have never touched me so strongly. "

"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhao Xu smiled, thinking to himself that the eight-ring spell was indeed very effective.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also took a deep breath.

Now, he has empty hands and no preparation, but it is also a manifestation of his instinct.

Potential points solve the problem of learning expertise and spell slots.

Supernatural spells solve the problems of spell resistance and spell materials.

Super magic control solves the problem of super magic cost.

At this moment, Zhao Xu has reached a perfect closed loop, capable of dealing with any oncoming problems in the world with his bare hands.

Zhao Xu knows that magic constancy has three types of magic applications.

The first type of designated spell can be constant on itself, such as arcane vision.

The second type of designated spell can be constant on oneself, other creatures, or a certain object; such as the human change spell.

The third type of designated spells can be fixed on objects or areas, such as magic alarms.

At the same time, there are three major prerequisites for constant spells.

One is that you currently have the designated spell.

The second is to have a caster level that corresponds to the spell requirements. For example, third-level arcane vision requires an 11th level caster level.

The third is to have enough life energy.

At this moment, he wanted to keep all the spells of the first and second categories to himself.

Zhao Xu, at this moment, began to enter the "improper mode".
