Zhao Xu has always been somewhat resigned to his upgrade status.
If you can't achieve high things, you can't do low things.
Arthur's mage player system can be said to be happy, because they have surpassed the "magic apprentice" system of people born and raised in Arthur for more than ten years.
What's even more exaggerated is that they can determine their own talent points when they create an account, thereby obtaining sufficient intelligence attributes.
Among the player mages, there are many with 16/17/18 points of intelligence, directly crushing the entire group of Arthur's aboriginal mages.
Only at 11 o'clock can he be qualified to become a magic apprentice and learn to cast a level of spells, which has stopped civilians from thousands of miles away from Arthur.
However, when the player mages traveled to Arthur, the situation was reversed.
The warlock's spells are derived from blood, and the more you mine, the faster you can level up.
The priest's magic comes from the gods. As long as they appreciate it, it is a piece of shit, and it is also a noble messenger of shit.
But we, the group of mages who believe that man can conquer nature, that our destiny is determined by ourselves and not by nature, and that our arcane arts rely on learning, do not have such luck.
Countless player mages have to re-master the original arcane knowledge system.
Although the basic spells and spell-casting postures can still be engraved in my mind, the "spell model" recorded in the spell book is also precise and will not be out of shape.
But after all, there are still a small number of high school students who are self-taught enough to pass the postgraduate mathematics entrance examination by relying on this "advanced mathematics" course.
As a group of mages, at this level, if they don't get stuck for a year and a half, there is no possibility of a breakthrough.
Not to mention the wild and dead land itself is a wilderness of knowledge, and it is difficult to dig food.
Books recording magic knowledge can only survive in the backpacks of mage players. This is the beginning of the pain for countless mage players.
Although Zhao Xu was lucky enough to break through level 10.
But that is still the scope of the five rings after all.
As for the "Dossier Scholar" who is also studying divine arts, he has not actually broken through the fifth ring, so there is no barrier to breaking the ring.
But now.
The 11th level representative of the sixth ring knocked on the door of his room like this
He just made a bet with an abyssal demon lord
Can he really make his wishes come true, and the entire abyssal plane will make it happen for him
What about the obstacles mentioned
What about the promised barriers
He had just killed two Balor Fire Demons, and the life energy in his body had not changed at all, but now he was just chatting with the demon lord, and he was directly promoted to level 11 on the spot.
At this moment, Zhao Xu felt a little regretful. Maybe he should bet whether he could become a god in the next second.
At this time, all the data on Zhao Xu's character card panel are being comprehensively improved.
Even the moment Zhao Xu made up his mind, his "Spell Guard Level 3" was received on the spot without any delay.
However, the magic side is still stuck and has not decided on the latest route.
At this time, Zhao Xu silently watched as he became a level 3 spell guard and gained one of the most critical abilities of this profession -
Selective spells!
Specially trained spell guards can cause minimal indirect damage to their own people when casting combat spells.
In other words, Zhao Xu's sprint can specify a specific creature, including subspecies, when casting the spell.
For example, if he specifies humans, then humans can be the only creatures affected by the spell.
Or the only creature not affected by the spell.
From then on, faced with the chaotic situation of a group of humans and goblins fighting, Zhao Xu could easily decide that all the goblins present would be harmed by spells.
The number of times this ability can be used per day is equal to Zhao Xu's intelligence bonus, but he has potential points and can recover at any time, so it doesn't hinder him.
By the time you reach level 5, this ability can continue to improve, and the number of designated species can then exceed one.
If he had this ability just now, when he launched his AOE, he could directly target the "demons" and be able to target a group of them without fear of covering innocent angel groups during the melee.
Moreover, using the selective spell ability is a "whole-round action", which is equivalent to another way for Zhao Xu to play with the casting time.
It just doesn't have any use for the current situation.
"What's wrong?" The demon lord in the void asked at this time.
The rippling and condensed face showed a hint of deep ridicule, as if mocking Zhao Xu's overestimation of his abilities.
"No, I just have to prepare. Do you mind?" Zhao Xu asked.
"Okay." The demon lord seemed to want to convince Zhao Xushuidi, and he said more words of compromise.
This is the case in casinos. When they think they can win you, no matter how many or arrogant demands you make, the other party will satisfy you.
Zhao Xu also roughly guessed what the demon lord was thinking.
He was also willing to go with the flow, so Zhao Xu directly used the "Strength Wall Technique" without saying a word, creating a flat surface for the ground under his feet that he could step on, and created a foothold in the air, so that he did not have to rely on the power of flight to get into the air.
On the other hand, Zhao Xu took out Howard's luxurious bedding from his backpack, spread it out without saying a word, and then lay down on it, silently preparing to restore the spell.
In fact, he had a bonus spell granted by the elector's ability, and he chose the "Anti-Magic Field" at that time.
But the goddess Sisylvina has essentially offended all the lords, young and old, all over the abyss, or it can be said that countless gods are coveting the priesthood that represents "magic".
This is naturally one of Arthur's most arrogant priesthoods, so every magic goddess is undoubtedly one of the most powerful gods.
"I have enough patience. Yes, you can prepare the spell after eight hours of sleep." The demon lord suddenly said loudly.
He looked like he was going to eat Zhao Xu to death.
What a coincidence.
Zhao Xu was really prepared to wait for Antinoya to finish the work at hand first. Seeing the other party's bold words, he didn't do it at all.
However, he still had to lie down on the luxurious bedding. For the remaining 7 hours, he could just admire the beautiful scenery of the abyss.
In this way, Zhao Xu inexplicably gained seven hours of precious time.
But as time went on, he slowly felt something was wrong.
During this period, Zhao Xu silently activated the "True Knowledge Technique" and tried to observe whether there were any secret creatures sneaking in.
But they all found nothing.
In this void vortex, the demon lord who had been staring at Zhao Xu was as honest as a holy warrior who kept his promise. He really did not do anything wrong with him throughout the whole process.
"I can only faintly notice that something is wrong, but how did you do it?"
While Zhao Xu was accumulating strength and waiting for the six-ring spell to come, he was also thinking about what went wrong.
"Oh, I'm curious as to how you discovered something was wrong." The abyss lord said with a smile.
"I'm smarter."
"In the abyss, people who are too smart can easily become unlucky."
It was obvious at this moment that the demon lord had blocked Zhao Xu's hope of a final comeback.
Zhao Xu suddenly frowned.
"Have we completed the contract?"
"Yes, the quality of Mystra's magic teaching is indeed good. A sixth-ring mage has this level." At this time, the abyss lord had already generously called Zhao Xu the sixth-ring.
It was obvious that he had reached the sixth ring.
Is he also sure that he may not be able to quickly master the "anti-magic field" of the sixth ring when he reaches the sixth ring
Zhao Xu thought to himself.
However, the next second, he suddenly entered an extremely ethereal state.
It was as if an extremely profound call from ancient times came to my ears.
real name!
The other party already knew that he came from Mystra.
But what I want is his real name!
Although Zhao Xu knew that most of these abyss demons had their own real names.
If you even know the real names of these demons, you can take advantage of them when casting spells, such as expulsion spells or covenant spells.
Some families that believe in demons, in addition to relying on complicated rituals, also rely on the clue of their real name for practice.
But their human real names are also useful
If it could be used, the evil mage would have used it to enslave the magic apprentices. If he didn't squeeze out all their value, how could he let them go so easily.
wrong.
He was still careless.
Zhao Xu already understood that his direct contact with Grazte and Demogorgon had misled him!
At that time, their power when they came to Arthur was extremely limited. This is why these demon lords need to develop followers in Arthur and coax innocent humans to use them.
No matter how much food the demon lords have at home, they cannot bear the consumption of traveling across the ocean.
But this moment was the time for him to truly come into contact with a demon lord.
As long as the other party has been in contact with him for a long time, he will be able to exert a subtle influence on him.
Even if you win in the subsequent betting process, it can cause fatal damage.
"What will happen if I lose later?" Zhao Xu suddenly regained his composure and asked.
"nothing."
The abyss lord laughed and said, "I will know your true name and then transform you into a succubus."
You demon lords really have no creativity at all.
Zhao Xu curled his lips.
He sat directly on the ground, took out an "Anti-Magic Field" scroll, and prepared to transcribe it into his mind.
The Wise Heart Spellcaster ability continues to play a key role.
As long as Zhao Xu didn't cheat on the scroll, the demon lord had no intention of interfering and silently observed Zhao Xu's actions.
"A wise spell caster is a very rare ability. In my impression, the mages after the cataclysm basically did not choose this thing. I never thought that I would meet one now."
After saying that, he asked, "Is the eldest lady okay?"
But Zhao Xu had already made up his mind not to answer and continued to dismantle the remaining parts of the spell model.
Fortunately, the first lesson Antinoya gave him was to instill the entire spell system honestly and understand it from the principles.
Instead of just teaching the "A" key in a hurry.
Although Zhao Xu learned the zero-ring trick by drawing nineteen models in one stroke, he still had the basic skills.
In addition, he knew that he could travel through time, and after his intelligence had grown sufficiently, he was sincere in learning magic. At this time, it was not difficult to transcribe the entire spell slowly.
Finally, after an hour of preparing the spell, Zhao Xu patted his butt and stood up.
He took a look at the list of spell slots on his body and had to sigh, the mages were really shabby.
At the level of a sixth-ring mage with 29 intelligence.
Among the six-level spells, there is one profession and one intelligence bonus, for a total of two six-level spell slots.
For fifth-level spells, there are 2 professions and 2 intelligence bonuses, a total of 4.
It looks a little better, but it's just imaginary. Looking back on the days when I used five-ring spells like running water, I really can't sustain this scene without the support of potential.
Zhao Xu looked at the "six-ring" anti-magic field spell slots that had been prepared in his mind and nodded.
In fact, when mages cast spells, the real process of casting spells occurs during the "one hour" when they prepare spells every morning.
When the "standard movement" and "quick" movements are actually used to cast spells, it is just equivalent to the final ignition and startup process, which stumps many people.
"I'm ready." Zhao Xu said.
The demon lord laughed playfully and nodded with a swirling face, "I'll give you one minute. As long as you can perform it, you win."
"Then let's begin." After saying that, a coercion representing the rapid will of the abyss came!
Zhao Xu's whole body seemed to be in a huge shock.
Concentration by affecting spellcasting!
To prevent him from casting sixth-level spells
Zhao Xu didn't expect that the demon lord himself felt that he was far away from his divine power, so he would resort to such small tricks.
But who is he
Momo's full 16 luck points were added to concentration. The "skill enhancement" spell just cast by one of the players was also a "concentration" skill.
In an instant, Zhao Xu safely withstood the impact and completed the anti-magic field casting action!
However, just a second before Zhao Xu smiled, the space suddenly changed color!
All the magic energy disappeared little by little.
All arcane magic has returned to nothingness.
All the magic items on Zhao Xu's body, including the force field wall he stepped on, no longer had the same effect as before.
The great sage's cassock lost its own heritage, the burgundy luster became dim, and the +5xx long sword in his hand was suppressed into an ordinary long sword worth only a few gold coins.
Born from magic, destroyed by magic.
This is-
Anti-magic field!
The anti-magic field of this abyss lord!
As long as his anti-magic field covers Zhao Xu first, Zhao Xu will be unable to cast spells and lose all spell abilities.
It also includes the "spell-like" abilities bestowed by Mystra.
Then he can't fulfill this bet!
This is the foreshadowing that this abyss lord set from the beginning!
Meeting is not the key to victory, releasing it is.
However, Zhao Xu smiled slightly and drew his sword directly.
Although he was falling continuously at this time, he did not feel any panic at all.
Because, using the anti-magic field was his deliberate request.
This demon lord suffered a loss once, why didn't he learn a lesson
"The power of iron heart!"
The next moment, the familiar arcane energy returned to itself.
Zhao Xu silently completed the final casting action.
"Anti-magic field."
It comes from Zhao Xu's anti-magic field.
