The Truth of Magic

Chapter 61: Ioun Stone

Views:

The entire huge library was very empty. Zhao Xu chose a relatively remote corner. Even if the flow of people gradually increased, no one still paid attention to them.

After Zhao Xu said his choice, he could still feel the nervous beating of his heart.

"Huh? Tell me the reason?" Antinoya spoke calmly.

Zhao Xu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to feel that the face under Antinoya's cloak became clearer for the first time.

"Because I know nothing about the power of mages." After thinking about it, Zhao Xu returned this sentence.

"It seems that you really have confidence in me." Antinoya nodded lightly.

"Coupled with the 'Spell Delay' feat, a 'Read Magic' spell that lasts longer than 24 hours requires at least a level 72 caster. Since the Age of Cataclysm, there have been very few casters even level 30 or above, let alone level 40. "

Antinoya's tone became a little lazy, as if she was remembering some past events.

"You guessed it right." Antinoya said, and at the same time, the bag of green cloth on the table was pushed directly in front of him by an invisible force.

Only then did Zhao Xu look in disbelief.

"Guide, mentor? Is this a joke? Level 72?"

In Arthur, everyone, all players, all natives, including all monsters - all have specific character cards.

There will be no such abstract and simple concept!

When players were ignorant, the most arrogant slogan was: As long as you know the contents of the character card, even gods will dare to kill you.

Antinoya can reach level 72 as a caster. The origin of each level must be clear and can be copied by others.

This shock made Zhao Xu not even open the package on the table.

"To correct you, the mage level is the mage level, and the caster level is the caster level."

"What determines how many levels of arcane spells you can cast is the mage level, but the caster level, which determines the effect of the spell, can be improved." Antinoya said lightly.

Only then did Zhao Xu finally understand. No wonder there were two different terms.

If he wants to improve his mage level, he must keep leveling up and become a high-level person.

But the caster level can probably be improved through equipment and various abilities.

Therefore, even a level 1 mage can release 'reading magic' with a duration of 20 minutes or 30 minutes as long as the spellcasting level is improved.

"Didn't you know the professional ability of the 'Spell Guard' before? Its fifth level ability is to increase the caster level by 1 level."

Zhao Xu smiled awkwardly after hearing this.

In his previous life, he also followed others' opinions. He heard others brag about this post, and he was very clear about a few distinctive abilities, but it was not so comprehensive.

"Take it apart and take a look. You can choose the right reward."

Zhao Xu nodded and reached forward to open the package in front of him.

A spindle-shaped transparent stone

Faint speculations came to Zhao Xu's mind, making his hands tremble slightly.

"Ion stone, hold it and release it to use it. Ioin stones of different colors and shapes have different effects. The function of this one is to allow you to maintain life without water or food."

When he heard the words "Ion Stone", Zhao Xu almost jumped up.

He had envied such famous magic items as the Iron Stone in his previous life.

It's not the strongest, but the effect when equipped is definitely impressive.

In this life, Zhao Xu simply wanted to be strong. He looked down on things that had a pure appearance and feel, and cared more about the power of the strange objects themselves.

After hearing the effect of "being able to sustain life without water or food", he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's useful, but it won't be useful until a year later.

Now these players are all projections, eating and drinking directly in the real world.

Arthur's body is just a projection, and he doesn't even need to go to the toilet.

When other players receive this thing, their first reaction is that they cannot use it.

But no matter what, this thing is destined to reflect its own value a year later.

It's a pity that after Antinoya gave him Howard's convenience bag, she warned him not to sell the things she gave him.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu can find a way to exchange it for 4000 GP in the future.

"Not satisfied?" Seeing Zhao Xu hesitate for a while, Antinoya asked lightly.

Zhao Xu quickly shook his head, "No, I'm very satisfied."

"Then you want to know what's in the blue bag?" Antinoya asked.

"Well, I'm still quite interested."

Zhao Xu nodded, he would not regret what was inside anyway.

The transparent spindle-shaped one just now is the cheapest in the Ioin stone series, and the thing wrapped in blue cloth will definitely not be Ioin stone anymore.

I saw Antinoya gently lift the blue cloth strip, and a pearl fell out.

Zhao Xu took a closer look and saw that it was a pearl similar to the one he took when he performed the "Appraisal Technique" yesterday. The estimated value was no more than one or two hundred gold coins.

He secretly thought that there wouldn't be such a big difference from 100 GP to 4000 GP.

"This is a first-level mana regeneration pearl that can restore a used first-level spell slot. So don't blindly think that a mage has used up his spell slots in the future. You never know how much reserve he still has."

Zhao Xu grinned. How could he dare to stand up to the mage

Even a dead mage is not necessarily without threat, let alone a living one.

Not to mention these mana pearls, who knows how many copied scrolls, wands, and staffs have yet to be taken out.

"Then do you want this mana regeneration pearl?"

Zhao Xu felt happy when he heard Antinoya's sudden question.

He even had a sense of disbelief. Could it be that he was really the legendary child of luck

No, in Arthur it should be called Son of the Plane.

He picked up the gold axe, and it seems he can still get the silver axe.

The first-level mana regeneration pearl is equivalent to adding one to the current player's first-level spell slot.

Many players now only have two or three first-level spell slots, which directly increase by 33%-50%.

"Well, that's good." Antinoya nodded, but she stuffed the mana regeneration pearl back into her dimensional bag with her backhand.

The whole process was so smooth that Zhao Xu didn't even have time to blink.

"Mentor?" Zhao Xu waited for a while before asking.

"Um?"

"Then why are you asking me?" Zhao Xu asked awkwardly.

He really couldn't speak the second half of the sentence, "You didn't mean to send me away."

"Oh, I think this first-level mana regeneration pearl is too useless. But since you still want it, it means it has some value, so I will reluctantly keep it and take up space."

Zhao Xu looked at the dimensional bag that Antinoya carried with him, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it must be the most expensive fourth-level dimensional bag.

In Zhao Xu's impression, others boasted that this dimensional bag had a capacity of 7 cubic meters and could bear more than half a ton.

Think about it, his Howard convenience bag only has 300 liters of space in total, which is less than 0.3 cubic meters of space.

A barrel of water on the market contains 18.9 liters, and 300 liters is enough to hold more than a dozen barrels, so 0.3 cubic meters is not small at all.

The volume is 7 cubic meters, which is equivalent to the space from the bottom of the bed to the ceiling of a standard single room bed in a hotel.

Doesn't this mean that a pearl takes up space

It was obviously just to tease a poor novice mage like him.
