The Truth of Magic

Chapter 569: An earth from which there is no return

Views:

As a powerful nine-ring arcane spell, the wishing spell can essentially limit its power only by the caster's own imagination.

However, if a person makes a wish to become the Lord of the World, it is likely that his "wish" will be misinterpreted in the end, and he will be exiled to a demiplane called "The World" and become the Lord of that place.

At the same time, it is very possible that it is a demiplane that is cut off from other planes and becomes an eternal cage.

Over the years, mages have also summarized nine common "safe uses" of prayer spells.

Copy spells, remove harmful spell effects, create and improve magic items, create non-magic items worth no more than 25,000 gold coins, improve intrinsic attributes, remove injuries or inactive states, resurrect the dead, teleport people, and cancel disasters.

Once the power of a spell exceeds these nine conditions, it is likely to bring unpredictable results.

The wishing spell itself requires a huge amount of "life energy". According to the quantitative results given by Antinoya, it is close to 5,000 units, which has exceeded the nine-ring teleportation array using the magic constant spell to achieve permanent one-way teleportation. The door is closed.

Even a level 17 mage may not be able to pay the price many times.

Therefore, "Prayer Technique" is the ultimate sure-kill skill. You really have to rely on it to win the game, which already means that the situation is irreversibly corrupted.

More opportunities for nine-ring mages to enjoy prayers are to spend a lot of money to use prayer scrolls copied by others. This hurts the wallet but not the level.

Under normal circumstances, if you really want to do something beyond the scope of magic to change your destiny, everyone tends to use the "Limited Wishes", a seven-ring spell that only requires about 300 units of life energy.

Therefore, the safer way to use Zhao Xu's wishing technique is to increase the opponent's inner intelligence by 1 point.

It's just that 1 point of intelligence is slightly beneficial to the opponent's 6 points of intelligence, but for it to really work, one or two more shots are needed.

At the beginning of the game, players who chose races such as elves and half-elves were fine. They were not much different from humans, and even had a longer lifespan.

For the rest, unless you are born with strong tastes, you will regret it 95% of the time if you choose dwarfs, halflings, orcs.

Most of this group have lost most of their initial joy of becoming "players" and even wish they had never played this game.

So Zhao Xu went straight to the point of changing the opponent's "race" in one step.

This player's stone has transformed his race, and the latter three dimensions are inherited from his predecessor, so although he still has 8 points of intelligence, he will not be punished by the orc race.

But simply changing the race is essentially on the verge of "wishing", and a careless move can lead to unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, Zhao Xu previously posted on the forum that among the several methods of changing race, "prayer technique" is the one he least recommends and carries the greatest risk.

In essence, it is better to keep killing with "Final Breath" and wait for the race to reunite. In this way, there is a 12.5% chance that the human race will finally have its turn.

Even 1% of unknown powerful races are transferred out. If the original limits of troglodytes, dwarves, etc. are exceeded, there may be surprises.

However, after Zhao Xu used the "Final Breath" once, he resolutely chose the "Prayer Technique".

Because after so many years of successive experiments by mages, "Reincarnation" and "Final Breathing" followed immediately by "Prayer" can safely restore the opponent's race to its original state.

This player's original race was "orc", but his identity as an earthling has also crossed the line of "human".

That's why Zhao Xu tested it like this.

At this time, the player Shitou, who was originally short and lacked growth hormone, was not much taller than his biological sister.

As Zhao Xu's "wishes" came to fruition, all the power of Zhou Tian's world will suddenly poured in, as if an invisible veil was opened, wrapping the half-length man, and began to reverse the new body he had just condensed. .

The onlookers, who had not yet understood the situation, stared with their eyes like light bulbs, watching the halfling rising up little by little.

The "reincarnation technique" that was originally like recreating Nezha from a lotus root has already made the onlookers at the scene marvel at the time traveling across the earth.

When Zhao Xu showed off his skills like this, a huge uproar instantly arose. The soy sauce crowd who were originally standing far away couldn't help but come over to eat after hearing the news.

"Mr. Master, help me!"

"Please, can you let us return to Earth?"

"I can donate half of the earth's treasures to you."

"Mr. Wizard, I am an investment bank manager from Earth. If you can let us go back, we can communicate the wealth between Earth and Arthur—"

Seeing Zhao Xu who showed his extraordinary power, everyone who had been wandering for more than a day seemed to have grasped a key rope. Like a floating board in the sea, they were reluctant to leave for a moment.

Everyone came to him in a hurry, as if they wanted to blend in with him.

Just relying on the crowd who came closer, Zhao Xu, who felt too hot, raised his hand slightly and completed the spell in an instant—

Elastic ball!

This four-ringed object, which was similar to an invincible barrier, suddenly opened up to block the crowd who came to join in the fun.

The translucent spherical cover divides this world into two places.

"Do you all think that the Master is a kind-hearted old man who responds to every request?"

Suddenly Zhao Xu's tone turned into a smile.

The good priest who came this time would definitely not do anything out of bounds, but it was hard to say for the mages.

It can be said that some people are born with their noses and faces, and they will never feel embarrassed to trouble others.

He may even feel that you are wrong for not helping him.

Zhao Xu didn't mind this. Naturally, these people had the society to beat them up.

But it would be bad if others misunderstood that the mage was easy to talk to.

However, Zhao Xu didn't want to go into a big fight, and he didn't plan to use the "fear spell" that would have an effect on the soul. Otherwise, the group of people who were covered would have psychological shadows when they sleep tonight.

Based on the difficulty of his spells, there are definitely not many that can pass the exemption, so it is basically an extremely terrifying feeling emerging from the depths of the heart, directly conquering the soul.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu gently waved his hand to release the second spell.

Suddenly, an image of Sadako condensed out of thin air directly in front of him. She with disheveled hair flipped her limbs and spread them out in deformed movements, while letting out a hoarse and unpleasant scream of terror on the spot.

"ah!"

Instead, Zhao Xu used the third-level "Powerful Phantom" spell, which was an enhanced version of the first-level illusion "Silent Phantom".

Even if he cancels the concentration to maintain the spell, Sadako's illusion can still last for three rounds, and it can also make sounds and transmit touch, which is indeed extremely terrifying to everyone.

After seeing several other people being scared away by him, Zhao Xu continued: "Don't imagine that you can return to Earth."

As soon as these words came out, some of the more prickly people said angrily on the spot, "Why?"

After Zhao Xu had just finished casting the spell, more and more people from Earth were already approaching.

Although everyone has slowly accepted the fact of time travel after a day, their faces are still full of shock and numbness.

Some people are freed from all the debts and responsibilities of the earth and can start over in Arthur.

There are also people who lament that the accumulation of half a life has disappeared overnight and they have to work hard all over again.

Although most of them gritted their teeth and raised their heads, only they knew whether they were feeling sad or happy.

"We will recreate technology at Arthur, the industrial revolution, the electrical revolution, and the information revolution." A student standing below shouted loudly.

After more than ten years of scientific training, it cannot be said that he has no faith. It should be said that what he believes in is science itself.

"Don't think that Master Arthur has never been to the Earth. But so far, Earth's technology has not spread to Arthur. Do the gods not want believers? Or do the legendary mages think they have too much wealth?"

Zhao Xu shook his head as he spoke, "It's not what you said. We can't talk about toxicity without considering the dose. The steam engine is still adequate, but Arthur without oil and Arthur with Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction is not suitable for electrical and internal combustion engines. I’m afraid you will suffer a setback.”

The soldier Zhang Yaoyu who stood in front of him instantly touched his head in embarrassment, "Is this because you are from Earth or we are from Earth? Why do you feel that you know better?"

Zhao Xu just smiled and didn't explain too much. It was true that Arthur's technology tree was more affected by "divine power" and "spells".

But if Earth Tianyu and Arthur Tianyu are the same universe, and the laws of physics on both sides take effect at the same time, then it is really a river with a slope for the engineers on the earth. These people can start to make lathes, and then process the iron core, and then Go to the synchronous generator and jump directly to realize the previous earth's technological route.

He didn't doubt that the diode would be processed in half a month.

"Besides, you should give up. The universe where the earth is located is originally in a state of destruction, but it is just outside the scope of your observation."

"This meteor falling from the sky on the earth is essentially a rescue plan prepared by the gods Arthur for thousands of years."

Not only to save the earth, but also to save Arthur.

Zhao Xu finished the remaining half of the sentence in his heart.

"Do you think we just invite everyone to come and travel?"

"Just for this transmission channel, at least ten gods fell asleep for this reason, and they only recovered recently."

"The earth travels through Arthur, the player acts as the vanguard to stabilize the situation, and the priests of the gods and the forces of the kingdom enter to rescue the refugees. These are all part of this plan."

Immediately hearing these words, everyone in the audience became noisy. Many people could not accept this, but under Zhao Xu's mysterious and charming voice, everyone felt their own powerlessness to fight.

"So if I were you, I would just take advantage of the fact that the players are still thinking about the earth, and quickly learn knowledge from them. At the same time, I will accept their professional training as soon as possible, and strive to become professionals this morning."

"Because the real troubled times have not yet come." Zhao Xu said cruelly.
