The Truth of Magic

Chapter 72: The eve of the journey

Views:

Caesar's motorcade was scheduled to gather outside the town before dawn. Zhao Xu had to get online two hours earlier in order to prepare for divine and arcane spells.

He didn't cast many spells yesterday and kept all his spell slots. He didn't have to spend time preparing anymore.

However, Zhao Xu, who is from the good camp, still honestly changed the prepared spells after getting to know the four friends.

"Multi-talented spell caster" can help Zhao Xu bypass the restrictions on arcane and divine spell preparation, but the price of two spell slots is high after all. Children from poor families like Zhao Xu still have to be diligent and frugal in the early stage.

Preparing spells generally requires a quiet environment, so Zhao Xu directly found a temporary ordinary room in yesterday's tavern.

In Arthur's town, most taverns and hotels are basically integrated operations, and ordinary civilians will not come to stay. Most of them are adventurers, so this is also the easiest place for players to inquire about information.

After Zhao Xu finished meditating and praying, he began to wipe and check his weapons.

The convenience bag Antinoya gave him at the beginning was actually filled with a lot of adventure supplies.

Although there are basically no magic items, the advantage is that the variety is rich and complete, enough to meet one's adventure needs.

The light crossbow in his hand at the moment is his next long-range weapon. One shot does 1D8 damage, which is much higher than his zero-level spell.

This is also the reason why mage players are criticized for not being as good as dogs at level 1. Their damage spells are not as high as flat slashing or archery.

However, this 35GP light crossbow is not currently purchased by even mage players.

It's not that the players are stingy and unwilling to spend money on equipment, but that Arthur's crossbow arrows are still unaffordable to everyone.

1 gold coin can only be exchanged for 10 crossbow arrows. Basically, every empty shot means a silver coin has been lost from the wallet.

After checking the smoothness of the lever on the light crossbow, Zhao Xu loaded a crossbow arrow and stood by.

Then he polished the rough areas of his wooden stick, and then used the buckle on the wooden stick to fasten it to his waist.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu was actually very good at wielding a two-handed giant sword, but now the professional characteristics of a monk priest are only "good at light weapons".

Unless he is willing to spend more expertise, it will no longer be possible for him to be "good at" using a military weapon like a giant sword.

If you use it forcefully, you will lose the feeling of combining man and force, and it will be harder to hit people.

After looking at the hourglass, it was almost the appointed time. Zhao Xu packed up his things and went straight downstairs.

At this time, those players were already online and were waiting for him in the carriage outside the tavern.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows lightly. Caesar was still honest in his actions. He was even willing to ask his men to drive a carriage to send them out of the city to gather.

Zhao Xu and Fengye said hello, got into the carriage, and slowly drove out of the city with the wheels swaying.

With the addition of Zhao Xu, an outsider, the atmosphere became a little more awkward for a while, and the originally lively team became silent.

Zhao Xu has ridden in many wild carriages, so he is not surprised.

He re-examined his character and began to conceive of various plans.

The previous battle between him and Antinoya was a guided game without a time limit, and he could play it calmly or even regret it.

Battles in the wild, the kind of real life-and-death confrontations, are the first time many players experience it and even directly transform their movements, and it is not uncommon for their weapons to fall to the ground.

Just looking at the character card, Zhao Xu gradually frowned.

That line [Potential Points: 0/5] has basically not changed every day since it appeared.

Zhao Xu could only sigh. According to the final scroll, this ability was a plug-in that was stronger than the dual elites.

Unfortunately, it can only be restored by leveling up, or waiting for the day when he can cast a spell to restore potential points.

The only thing he can do now is to imagine how he will beat players from all walks of life in the future.

"Mr. Zhongxia, why didn't you become a bard like Brother Frog in the beginning? Brother Frog also failed the apprenticeship training at the beginning. He can cast spells as a poet without being restricted."

Miss Pastor Youyou, who was sitting in the corner, saw Zhao Xu frowning in deep thought and opened her mouth to break the silence in the carriage.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu raised his head and was a little dazed.

Little girls these days are so unique, yet they still have to choose which pot to turn on.

The priest's first-level spell table and the wizard's first-level spell table may overlap or not.

Players who face Monkey Spirit can tell it at a glance.

Yesterday, he was afraid that he would lose the priest's divine spell and the mage's arcane spell later, which would arouse others' suspicion, especially if there were spellcasting professions such as bards and priests present.

That's why he took the name of "mentor", a profession that players are not very familiar with at the moment.

As long as he uses it, he will justly say that it is the teacher's spell.

Zhao Xu, who is well aware of the risks in the wild, is also afraid that admitting that he has some strength will affect the judgment of these players.

The road ahead of the caravan was okay, but if it really encountered a crisis in the Tianduan Mountains, Zhao Xu was basically sure that it would be a situation of death and survival.

Arthur's Wilderness didn't say that monsters were refreshed by area. After a conflict breaks out, the caravan will become the focus of countless subsequent monsters.

The aftermath of the battle, the smell of injured blood, and the disturbed birds were all signals that exploded in front of those monsters.

So the situation is not right, and it is definitely the best situation for everyone to run away.

Give Zhao Xu level 7, and he can barely act as a tiger pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Now at level 1, he is more interested in seeking happiness for himself.

Zhao Xu went directly to the underground smuggling caravan, hoping to run without too much psychological pressure.

When fighting evil, the good camp also knows how to run away, and those who don't run are called paladins.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and replied, "Because I had a cold that day."

Hearing this, Wanderer Rainbow, who was counting the number of caltrops in his hand and could not be distracted, raised his head and looked at him.

"What does it have to do with it?" Pastor Youyou couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if I don't choose a poet or a mentor." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Suddenly the entire carriage fell silent again.

Zhao Xu felt very happy in his heart. If he didn't say that, the priest sister would probably ask him what spells he had prepared today.

At that time, Zhao Xu said it was not the case, and it was not the case if he did not say it. It would be better to establish an indifferent image from the beginning.

He can protect his own life, and there is no need to befriend these players to let them protect him.

Now on the forum, many star players with powerful expertise have appeared.

Everyone receives the same training, you can be different, learn additional expertise and spells, and become special.

The previous post on the forum about Zhao Xu becoming a pastor in one day became less popular after the poster failed to provide any new evidence in the past two days.

Fame means income to the Earth Traffic Era, but for someone as wealthy as Zhao Xu, it will only be a burden.

In an instant, the wheels stopped suddenly, breaking the silence in the car.

Zhao Xu was the first to open the door curtain of the carriage and step out of the carriage.

But when he saw the carts of supplies in front of him in the dawn light, his head suddenly felt heavy.

If there are no accidents on this trip, then it is truly blessed by the goddess.
