The Truth of Magic

Chapter 68: The path of the mage

Views:

In the next few days, Zhao Xu continued to improve his strength with peace of mind and did not have any contact with the players again.

After Antinoya's explanation later, he realized that the magic domain among the three major domains of his priest resonated with the origin of magic.

As a result, he instantly upgraded his spell recognition skill to level 4.

Antinoya deployed the "Rainbow Sphere" to judge this point.

At the same time, he was immediately rushed to receive a "magic missile" like a sheep, in order to use the remaining power of his origin as soon as possible, allowing him to directly master the ability of "counter-spell".

The only aftermath of this incident was that some players who witnessed it in the underground square posted on the forum.

That post focused on the analysis that Zhao Xu spoke Mandarin instead of Common Language at the time, and that the female mage's "magic missile" failed to be successfully released.

In the end, it was concluded that "Zhao Xu is a player who has mastered counter-spells", which made many forum experts sneer at this.

Because from the time the server was launched until now, no one among the players has been able to master this ability.

This was a feat that even the vanguard of level 1 mages from the 7th to the 14th day had not been able to accomplish.

In a city like Mystra, where the fastest player to become a mage is 20 days, it is indeed unconvincing to say that such a genius has emerged.

The only thing Zhao Xu did was to like the comments that refuted the poster.

At the same time, the introduction of the magic field finally gave Zhao Xu some signs of communicating with the origin of knowledge in his own knowledge field.

Zhao Xu also spent most of his time in the floating city's knowledge library reading various books every day.

Unlike the first level of knowledge (mystery) where he had a hard time reaching level 1, basically every knowledge and skill was quickly improved by him.

After completing the knowledge and skills, he also finished up the remaining additional languages and the like.

Finally, Zhao Xu followed Antinoya to the seventh floor of the obelisk - the "Secret Star Cross".

As the tallest tower in the floating city, the entire obelisk itself is also the residence of the "Final Scroll".

The obelisk itself has been modified to widen the space, and countless spell barriers have been set up around it. Basically, if you want to get in, you have to use a portal if you don't have a fifth-level teleportation spell.

"Teacher, this place is quite luxurious." Zhao Xu said after taking a look at Antinoya's usual office space.

Not to mention the various demon statues lurking outside, Zhao Xu watched carefully for a long time just the set of sinister, skeleton-shaped armor placed in the living room.

In their previous life, what they wanted most as warriors was this kind of extremely powerful full-body armor.

Put it on the earth with the same status as a house or a car.

Antinoya, a mage, probably wouldn't be able to wear this kind of armor, and the defense bonus provided by the armor might not even be as high as her own spells.

"Don't touch it, it's a divine weapon." Antinoya warned.

After improving his concentration skills these days, Zhao Xuben felt that he was calmer when facing big events.

Hearing this sentence, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat a little faster.

"Secondary artifact?"

"That's right, this armor is pretty good. It's immune to a lot of negative effects. It just has a failure rate for arcane spells, so we mages can't wear it. It's a pity that you are also a mage, otherwise it would suit you very well. It matches your priest's magic. You are a weapon on the battlefield."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but turn around the armor, "Teacher, are you afraid of being stolen if you put it here?"

"A strong person who can break through here will have to go to the lowest level to steal. What's the point of coming to me? It's just a second-level artifact."

"What's there?"

"What do you want to call us?" Antinoya smiled.

Zhao Xu nodded and understood. It turned out that the legendary scroll guarded by their force was placed at the bottom of the obelisk.

It involves the secrets of every magic goddess becoming a god.

Zhao Xu usually thought about all the little details that were wrong. Now when he came to Antinoya, he couldn't help but feel his original curiosity.

He whispered, "Teacher, have you blocked all detection and prophecy spells here?"

"Nonsense. Even divine power may not be able to listen here." Antinoya said softly, "The greatest value of the armor as an artifact is that it can interfere with divine power after being blessed by legendary spells. You can read the true name of the god here. , they may not be able to hear the following content clearly, of course you don’t want to die, I don’t want to attract the attention of the gods.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xucai was convinced that it was not for the sake of being handsome.

"Teacher, since the scroll involves the secret of becoming a god, why is no one guarding it and reading it secretly?"

The city wall can stop the enemies on the outside, but it cannot stop the rebels on the inside.

No matter how high you climb, you are still a subordinate god of the goddess. It is not as comfortable as directly being the main god.

Antinoya was looking at the new official documents of the day.

"Let me tell you this, basically every legendary mage in the "Final Scroll" has read that scroll. So everyone knows the secret of becoming a god."

Zhao Xu suddenly felt that the topic was too advanced for a level 1 person like him, but he couldn't help but feel curious in his heart.

He looked at his priest magic, but there was no sign of disappearing, so he quickly continued to ask, "Isn't this even weirder?"

At this time, Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu carefully and said, "Generally, people only dare to ask about this kind of thing when they are about to become a senior mage. You are quite brave."

After Antinoya solved his doubts in the past few days, Zhao Xu's whole state of mind has made a leap, and he is not as cautious as in his previous life.

"Teacher, what is that?" Zhao Xu's voice increased slightly.

"Come here, learn your next expertise, and then go out and practice." Antinoya said angrily.

Zhao Xu noticed that this was the first time that Antinoya did not answer directly.

Usually, Antinoya's character is always outspoken about even legendary secrets.

He vaguely felt that the "Final Scroll" organization could win over so many powerful legendary mages, but it might not be as simple as the literal meaning of guarding the scroll itself.

"You still have two specialties, right?" Antinoya asked lightly.

Zhao Xu nodded, "There are still level 1 specialties and human reward specialties that have not yet been determined."

His two shortcomings had already been "uncanny foresight" and "spell mastery".

"Then tell me what other abilities you want to improve?" Antinoya asked.

"Instructor, didn't you say that your expertise is up to you?"

"Idiot, you can decide the order of learning first and then learning by yourself. Moreover, our arrangement is a rough range. It is not so specific. Anyway, they are all very strong."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu became a little confused.

He looked at his spell panel and couldn't help but fall into thinking.

What does he lack most

The mage has very few spell slots every day. Now that he has the priest's divine spell, he can make do with it.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu looked at the prepared spell slots.

"Teacher, do you have any specialties that increase the degree of freedom? Like the strange seer, I can cast whatever spells I want." Zhao Xu asked.

"Yes, 'Multiple Spellcaster'."
