The Truth of Magic

Chapter 57: Howard convenience bag

Views:

Zhao Xu took the backpack and touched it with both hands. The texture was good, it was still made of tanned leather, and there were some brass buckle accessories on it.

Dimensional bags or something

Zhao Xu's heart couldn't help but start beating. His 8 points of natural strength determined that his own weight was limited.

At least he could feel that his strength was weaker than his real body.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu chose Huixin Spellcaster in the first place. He carries a pile of thick spell books on his back every day. Without a dimensional bag, who can bear it.

Zhao Xu quickly raised his head and looked at Antinoya, "Teacher, what is this?"

"Huh?" Antinoya asked. "Among the people present, I am not the only one who casts spells."

Zhao Xu reacted immediately.

Identification technique!

The identification technique allows him to directly know the functional properties of magic items.

Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Antinoya in shock. He had indeed prepared the identification technique.

But how did Antinoya know

Looking at Zhao Xu's confused eyes, Antinoya asked lightly with a hint of ridicule: "Sometimes I think you have the feeling of a person who is born to know, and sometimes I think you are too stupid. You are already a mage. You have to use the thinking of a mage."

"Do you think that mages rely on guessing before the battle? Many basic ideas must be reflected directly. Especially what the opponent's spell slots have prepared and how many are left, you must be aware of it."

Zhao Xu knew that Antinoya was teaching him by words and deeds, and nodded quickly.

As long as he knows the level of a mage, he can indeed estimate the opponent's intelligence and thus know the extra spell slots brought by intelligence.

Coupled with the spell slots brought by professional levels, you can basically guess how many spell slots a mage has.

"But mentor, obviously—"

"Obviously, the level 1 spell of identification is not a priest's magic, but a level 1 spell in the magic field. How did I guess that you happened to be able to prepare this spell?"

Hearing Antinoya express his inner thoughts directly, Zhao Xu nodded quickly.

Unexpectedly, Antinoya stopped talking and walked directly to the soft chair to sit down. "Think about the rest yourself. If you can't think of a reward, you can recycle it."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu quickly calmed down.

Antinoya was really nice to him, and she also deliberately frightened him in some matters.

But when it comes to withdrawing rewards, she has always been forthright.

It was only after being exposed to the priest's magical skills that Zhao Xu had a clearer concept.

Some spells are arcane spells rather than divine spells, such as level 1 spell identification.

Therefore, Zhao Xu could not use the priest's magical position to prepare.

But this spell is one of the nine spells in the magic field, so Zhao Xu can prepare it with one field spell slot per level of the priest.

There are only three areas, namely magic, planning, and knowledge.

The corresponding level 1 spells that can be prepared are identification, fortune-telling, and detecting secret doors.

In the case of choosing one of the three, Antinoya directly guessed that he would definitely prepare the identification technique instead of anything else

Slowly, Zhao Xu blushed.

Even though he couldn't see Antinoya's expression under the hood, Zhao Xu could guess the smile on her face.

Among the mages, no one is easy to fool.

Since he is not participating in the battle, he naturally does not need to prepare fortune-telling techniques to determine whether a creature is dead. He didn't venture into the underground, nor was he prepared to use exploratory magic like detecting secret doors.

The biggest possibility left is just the identification technique.

In addition, Antinoya still lacks a trophy to give him, so this possibility will be pushed to 100%.

Zhao Xu quickly lowered his head, "Teacher, let me cast the spell."

It's one thing for someone to give you something, but it's immediately obvious that you're eagerly waiting for someone to give it to you.

Even Zhao Xu, who is thirty years old at heart, can't help but blush.

"Try to see how a spell with a long casting time is cast." Antinoya said lightly.

Zhao Xu nodded, found a comfortable place to sit down, looked at the backpack in his hand, and began to prepare to cast a spell.

As soon as he raised his hand, he was startled.

Material!

Just like a handful of colored powder is needed to cast Colorful Jet, the identification technique also requires materials.

"Put your hand into the right pocket of your backpack and feel it." Antinoya reminded him at the right time.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he stretched out his hand to explore.

Through a burst of void, he took out a pearl.

At the same time, under the influence of the spell, a glass of wine with owl feathers floated to his eyes and landed gently on the table.

It is different from Colorful Jet simply by holding the powder.

The identification technique uses casting materials, which means crushing the 100GP pearl, pouring it into the wine, stirring it with an owl feather, and then drinking it.

Any missing step may cause the spell to fail.

Most players are surprised and happy to obtain a magic item.

The good news is that as long as it is a magic item, it is usually worth a lot of money.

But if you want to really make use of magic items, you have to find someone to appraise them, but you have to add 100 GP material fee on top of the service fee.

Therefore, most players fumble around and make do with it.

If you are poor, you have to surrender to reality.

Zhao Xu patiently followed the steps of the spell step by step. After drinking the mixed wine, he took a deep breath and began to chant the spell in a low voice.

Identification is not a magic that can be completed with just one click like in ordinary games.

Its casting time is up to an hour.

"Concentration is a key skill for mage. We need to improve our 'concentration' skill to ensure that during these long spells, the spell will not be interrupted due to accidents." Antinoya looked at him from a distance and said.

However, Zhao Xu did not reply distractedly at this time, concentrating on using the "Appraisal Technique".

As the spell casting progressed, Zhao Xu gradually realized that "casting time is one hour" was not a simple sentence.

Normally, for a "marked action" time to cast a spell, he would only concentrate on it for two or three seconds.

Now a "one hour" casting time consumes a lot of his own energy.

He also slowly understood that Antinoya could tell him the effect of the backpack directly, but it would cost him 100 GP to cast this spell.

For many things, only by formally trying them can you truly appreciate the difficulty.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhao Xu slowly began to sweat on his forehead, like a student who would fail if he failed a single question.

Finally, yellow light emanated from his hand and fell directly on the backpack.

Suddenly, information poured into Zhao Xu's mind, and his information panel began to refresh.

"Isn't this amazing?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Congratulations to the readers of "Hedberg" for guessing correctly, it is indeed a space backpack.
