Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Antinoya unexpectedly did not show a look of shock. On the contrary, the color began to return to her pale face.
"Your connection with the Abyss seems to have become increasingly obvious," she assessed.
"connect?"
To be honest, Zhao Xu had never even been to the abyss, and even his "chaos" camp only moved over later.
"Anyway, please memorize the last part of the mysterious incantation that corresponds to each level of the abyss. I was pale and vomited several times, and the teacher forced me to recite those incantations."
Antinoya's tone became more solemn as she spoke, "These spells can create miracles when necessary. Sometimes it depends on them whether they can survive."
"A miracle?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but look up at Antinoya with confusion, "Even you, mentor?"
"midsummer."
Antinoya took a step closer to Zhao Xu at this time, and was only a few punches away from him. "I notice that you are becoming more and more wandering now."
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Zhao Xu and said angrily: "I can tell you that the three special outer planes of the Endless Abyss, the Nine Hells, and the Outer Realm are also the top three most dangerous planes among all the planes. .”
"If you hold on to the idea that you have the 'power of an iron heart' and will never fall into despair again, then I advise you to stay in the main material plane of Arthur and practice to the legendary level first."
After hearing the other party's reprimand, Zhao Xu, who originally thought he had made up for his last shortcoming, couldn't help but stand upright humbly and said, "Ask the instructor for advice."
This kind of respect made Antinoya raise her head lightly with satisfaction, as if she was greatly satisfied.
"First of all, do you realize the flaw in your Iron Heart Power?"
Now Zhao Xu is no longer Wu Xia Amon. Since time traveling, he has relied on "potential points" to forcibly restore his spell slots, and has not slept more than three hours a day.
At this moment, when he was reminded, he was even more shocked. He suddenly said, "As a mage with both Sinnoh and Olympus cultivation, what I am most afraid of is that the corresponding area cannot cast spells, and the power of the iron heart is aimed at the 'anti-magic field' situation."
"But there is another kind of dead magic zone. But since the third generation of magic goddesses gave up the magic network and fed it back to the core of the plane, isn't there no such place as the dead magic zone anymore?"
In the era of the second-generation magic goddess, Arthur still had "dead magic zones", and these areas could be said to be restricted areas for every spellcaster. It was also an era when war-based professions still retained the last trace of dignity.
As he spoke, Zhao Xu softened his tone. Arthur did not have the Dead Magic Zone, but that did not mean that there were no other planes.
Therefore, plane travel is extremely dangerous even for a great mage.
There is no magic place at all. The power of the Iron Heart can suppress all negative states, but it cannot reverse reality and turn it into a normal magic area.
The power of the Iron Heart is like a "gas mask" that allows Zhao Xu to breathe normally in a poisonous gas area, but what he really enters is a vacuum area, so no matter how strong the gas mask is, there is nothing he can do.
Unless he brings his own oxygen tank.
At this time, Antinoya took out the mysterious instrument from his backpack.
It looks like a 10 cm diameter brass ball, mounted on a round brass box with a diameter of no more than 20 cm, with patterns engraved on each side.
As Antinoya pulled the sphere upward, the device suddenly opened, revealing the inner device, including a series of crystal lenses and different operating handles and levers.
"This thing is called the 'Plane Sextant'. It can help us analyze the specific characteristics of the plane, thereby assisting us in making judgments."
"You try to operate it and analyze the characteristics of the main material plane."
As Antinoya handed it over, Zhao Xu also placed it on the stone table on the tower and observed the top pattern—the outermost circle was a circle of intermittent patterns, with arc-shaped triangular sawtooth on one side and scales on the other. There are different black and white long grids, and there are more than ten complicated mysterious patterns in the gaps.
The inner layer is a large triangle, inscribed in a circle, which in turn inscribes a triangle. Their lines all have some sawtooth waves and are also filled with different pattern symbols.
After searching for plane knowledge, combined with his own intelligence, and by the way, he used the "Identification Technique". With double insurance, Zhao Xu completely mastered the use method of this plane sextant and the characteristics that can be judged. .
1. Gravity: whether it is normal, high specific gravity, low specific gravity, objective gravity, subjective gravity or even different gravity.
2. Time: Is the flow rate normal, fast, slow or irregular or even no flow
3. Region: The plane is infinite, limited or independent.
4. Form: Whether the basic natural form of the plane is changeable, divided into eternal, highly variable, magically variable, divinely variable, and autonomous change.
5. Elements: whether they are dominated by air, earth, fire, water or even positive and negative energy.
6. Camp: Whether you prefer a specific camp, and whether it is moderate or strong.
Seven: Magic: dead magic (does not exist), wild magic (effects are unpredictable), hindering magic (casting spells is more difficult), enhanced magic (casting spells has metamagic effects) or limited magic (only certain schools, sub-schools, descriptions Or level of spells take effect)
At the same time, the sextant can also reveal the location and information of the portal within 20 meters.
It can also assist plane knowledge to determine the name of the current plane.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head. If there had been such a thing in the mysterious cave at that time, he would have been much more relaxed.
"This plane sextant is given to you." Antinoya said after seeing that Zhao Xu had mastered this magic device.
Zhao Xu also nodded.
The key to this rare object worth 54,000 gold coins was that it retrieved comprehensive information, and it also made him realize the rigor of plane travel.
Even a five-ring "transportation from another world" can reach the top of the abyss, but Antinoya did not do this, but made extensive preparations with him first.
Just to judge the characteristics of the plane requires a rare item worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
Planning before acting is never an empty talk for mages. Even ordinary mages who cannot cast spells spontaneously must prepare targeted spells in advance and purchase enough response scrolls.
"Seeing those different magic areas, you understand the seriousness of the problem." Antinoya said.
Zhao Xu nodded sincerely.
The other world is far from as simple as he thought.
In addition to the dead magic area, there are also wild magic areas, hindering magic areas, enhanced magic areas, limited magic areas, etc., especially the latter ones all exist in Arthur.
"Zhongxia, do you still remember your original goal?" Antinoya asked.
Zhao Xu also answered with a clear understanding: "It will become Arthur's sharpest long sword. Wherever the sword goes, it will cut everything."
"So what do you have to do to do that?"
"Make up for all your shortcomings."
Zhao Xu said after thinking little by little.
"The mage's spell list is not broad enough, so the second route for my double elite is to have a full list of file scholars."
"It's expensive for a mage to learn to copy spells, so I entered the final scroll to master the spells."
"A wizard needs to prepare fixed spells, so I took the Versatile Spellcaster and Uncanny Seer feats."
"The mage's daily spell slots are limited, so I master the uninhibited heroic spirit and potential points, and have unlimited battery life."
"The duration of a mage's spells is limited, so I learned the skills of spell delay and spell durability."
"The mage's metamagic expertise is limited by the number of rings, so I advanced to the metamagic shaper to master the ability to control metamagic."
"The power of a mage's spells is limited, so I learned spell maximization and spell twin specialties."
"Mage spells require spell resistance and some materials are expensive, so I advanced to Spell Guardian."
"The mage will be restricted by the anti-magic field, so I learned the power of iron heart, the martial art of iron heart style."
The remaining ones include the wise caster, the priest field, and the red jade guard who will make up for it later. In all of these, Zhao Xu is trying to make up for the shortcomings of the "mage" who is the top profession.
This is also the reason why he is only level 10, but his combat power is comparable to that of a legend. Even after getting the right magic weapon, he can deal thousands of damage.
"Then you understand now?" Antinoya smiled knowingly.
Zhao Xu also understood and smiled, "So before going to the abyss, we have to make up for this weakness in the magic area?"
"How many equipment slots are you missing now?" Antinoya asked.
"The only two missing parts are the wrist and outer body."
There are three main clothing equipment slots in magic items.
The shoulder area is specially used for cloaks and cloaks. Zhao Xu is equipped with the "Star Cloak".
The inner body position is specially used for vests, dresses or shirts. Zhao Xu's is the "great sage's robe".
The outer body position is specially used for armor and robes.
Because armor has a failure rate for arcane spells, Zhao Xu never considered it.
As for the robe he is currently wearing, he is still wearing the standard robe, which is inlaid with Mystra's mark. The main reason is that the robe is not very outstanding.
Even the shirt position of the inner body, if it has the Great Sage's robe, otherwise Zhao Xu is most likely to be vacant.
Even now that he has grown up, the effect of the Great Sage's robes on him is no longer so obvious.
But clothing is a kind of status, so Zhao Xu didn't consider anything else.
"So, this one is for you."
As he spoke, Antinoya handed over a robe, with Antinoya's personal emblem clearly marked on it.
"It's not a big problem to turn this robe into a magic item. It's just that the sewing itself gives me a headache. Thanks to it, my craft (tailoring) skills have almost been upgraded."
When Zhao Xu took it over, he clearly found that the robe in his hand felt like silk. The various details of the workmanship were exquisite, and the details of the pressed buttons were no less than luxurious clothing on earth.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but glance at the other person's hands and fingers, and found that there were no indentations from a thimble, not to mention wounds.
To be honest, Antinoya's craftsmanship (tailoring) skill is probably not even level 3, but to be able to make such a skill beyond level 40, it is obvious that the remaining level 37 is made up by spells.
"The name of this robe is called the Steadfast Casting Suit. Its styles are various, generally depending on the race and plane characteristics of the maker. Among the styles I have seen, they range from snow-white celestial long-distance running to earth-colored ones with book pages decorated There are clothes.”
"As for its greatest effect, it allows you to cast spells regardless of the magic characteristics of the plane. Except for the dead magic area, that is, the wild magic area, the hindering magic area, and the limited magic area, you can cast spells normally. Of course, when encountering favorable conditions You can take it off to use the enhanced magic zone."
As she spoke, Antinoya raised her head proudly.
"Thank you, mentor."
Zhao Xu also cherished this and touched the robe in his hand. At the same time, he took off the star cloak. The originally exposed burgundy sage's robe was immediately covered by this brand new robe.
Although it is only a 25,000 gold coin magic item made with a limited wish or miracle as its core, it perfectly makes up for most of Zhao Xu's current problems with plane magic properties.
After being fully dressed, Zhao Xu's own momentum became even more high-spirited.
"Very good." Antinoya nodded with satisfaction.
"In this way, there is only one last problem left to solve - the dead magic zone."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu's heartbeat accelerated a bit.
After making up for this shortcoming, he has no constraints when it comes to casting spells.
With the magic in hand, you can grasp the truth of Arthur, and it is no longer an illusion to him.
"Then do you know the direction?" Antinoya asked rhetorically.
Zhao Xu was a little stunned by this, but he replied directly: "I heard a method."
"Um?"
"It seems to be called the 'Believer' specialty."
"That's right." Antinoya agreed, "The Believer's Specialty can only be mastered after a believer achieves God's goal through hard work. This specialization usually allows the believer to obtain additional spells and abilities, such as giving certain gains. And allows a certain number of spells to be added to the priest list."
"So this is also a means of expanding the table."
"Because the believer's expertise requires a deep connection with the god of belief, everyone can only have one believer's expertise."
As she spoke, Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu's already handsome and heroic face with interest, "Then do you know the specialties of believers in the magic goddess Sisilvina?"
Zhao Xu looked at Antinoya's slightly seductive eyes at this moment, couldn't help but swallowed, and replied: "I know, mastering this expertise means that you have been accepted and know the greatest secret of the Goddess Church."
"Even in a dead magic area or an anti-magic field, as long as you successfully pass the caster level check, you can successfully cast the spell."
But Zhao Xu immediately frowned, "In addition to the specialty requirement of belief in the goddess, you must also have a level 3 priest level."
At this time, Zhao Xu's divine magic route only has level 1 priests. It is already extremely difficult to draw the Nine Swords, let alone draw level 2 to continue to improve the priest level.
This was also the reason why he hadn't thought much about this specialty before. Generally speaking, he had to wait until he became legendary before considering adding two more priest levels.
"No, after the age of catastrophe, the goddess's elects do not need the level 3 priest level." Antinoya said succinctly.
