The Truth of Magic

Chapter 79: Candle

Views:

Mystra Floating City, Knowledge Library, a few days ago.

"You were shadowed by that skeleton? To improve your religious knowledge and skills, you shouldn't be reading books like "How to Deal with Ghosts" so much, right?"

Listening to Antinoya's inquiry, Zhao Xu smiled and said nothing more.

There was a story about how he and his whole team were wiped out by ghosts, so naturally he couldn't tell Antinoya about it.

"You want to deal with ghosts?"

Antinoya quickly asked Zhao Xu's key points.

Zhao Xu never went to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason, but he would not do these things without any reason.

"Although you Earthlings are unlikely to encounter ghosts, you can actually ask me directly. I have eliminated more ghosts than the author of this book saw when he wrote the book." Antinoya said .

Zhao Xu then put down the book in his hand, looked at Antinoya and said, "Teacher, is it possible for me now to dispel the ghost of a level 1 character?"

"It can't be done." Antinoya said softly, "Theoretically, a priest can dispel undead creatures that are 4 levels higher than himself. But the ghost itself has +4 resistance, which is equivalent to 5 HD undead creatures. So you can't dispel them. move."

Zhao Xu wanted to ask back, didn't he just agree that he could go up 4 levels?

But he immediately realized that with his little priest level and charm value, even if his luck exploded, he could only disperse 2 HD of undead creatures at most.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

So what if it can be dispelled

After they experienced the ghost crisis in their previous life, they immediately hired a senior priest to destroy the purification. A few days later, the ghost still resurrected and returned.

In the end, they had no choice but to seal the hole and never open it again.

"Teacher, isn't it unexplainable that creatures like ghosts can be resurrected?"

Zhao Xu thought for a while and finally asked the question in his heart. At this time, he had already turned to the chapter about the final resurrection.

"Why is there no solution?" Antinoya asked.

Zhao Xu opened the picture on the spot and pointed at the picture of the ghost in the book and said, "When a ghost dies, it can perform a 'Level + 1D20' test. If it is greater than 16, it can be resurrected. If it is a level 15 ghost, the test result will definitely be greater than 16. That's it." One hundred percent resurrected.”

This was something he had always struggled to let go of in his previous life.

"Oh, let me correct it first. In fact, if the test result is 1, there will be a very special situation. Sometimes the value can be passed, but it will also fail. It's just that when 1 is OK and when 1 is not OK, it has not been explained to people. What we know can only be attributed to the will of the world.”

When Antinoya said this, her eyes revealed a mysterious color, "Besides, you know nothing about the power of the mage."

"There are ways to seal, control, and even fail the test."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu gained a lot of confidence.

"Teacher, why do I feel that your teaching is much more popular than this book? It is just a few simple sentences, but this book "How to Deal with Ghosts" has to go around a lot, which makes me have a headache. According to me, this book is It’s time to kick off the list of recommended readings for improving religious knowledge.”

Seeing Antinoya solving his doubts, Zhao Xu hurriedly flattered him and complained a few words.

"Oh, the reason why I dare to say that the author didn't see as many ghosts as me when he wrote the book is because-"

“This book was actually written when I was young.”

Zhao Xu looked at the ghost in front of him with his mouth open ferociously, as if he wanted to eat him alive, and smiled softly.

At this time, he already had the trump card that Antinoya gave him.

"You know nothing of the power of mages."

At this moment, Zhao Xu was holding a small, narrow lantern in his hand, with only enough space inside to hold a candle.

It's just that the candle has already been tampered with. The moment it was taken out of the backpack and exposed to the air, this ordinary candle spontaneously ignited.

An aura full of mystery suddenly gathered around him.

[Adventurer Zhongxia lights the "Prayer Candle" of the neutral good camp, and those of the same camp within 10 meters will receive a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks]

"From another world—" Zhao Xu began to recite the name of a similarly unremarkable spell.

In an instant, the surrounding air froze for an instant, time and space were pulled together, and the entire candle began to erupt with infinite sacred aura.

A faintly glowing ring six or seven meters in diameter began to appear in the sky.

What is even more profound is that a heavenly and sacred aura begins to appear faintly behind the ring.

It's like the Holy Light is about to descend on the earth, destroying all sin and sweeping away all filth.

Seeing the scene in front of it, the terrifying experience resurfaced in the ghost's mind. It howled in terror on the spot, as if it had fallen deeply into despair.

Fortunately, it did not have the supernatural ability to howl in terror, but the hoarse voice made Zhao Xuhan's hair crawl.

In an instant, the ghost ran away as if desperate for its life. It was already dead and seemed to have witnessed a horror that was more terrifying than death.

It was as if there was a flying sword following the force field attacking it.

The ghost didn't look back, showed no attachment at all, and disappeared within the limited field of vision of the torch.

Zhao Xu, who had no dark vision, looked ahead, but it was a pity that he could not clearly see the darkness in the deeper distance.

After sighing slightly, Zhao Xu still didn't pronounce the last word.

The original luminous disk lost the support of its power and slowly had to converge again.

Night returns to the earth.

This prayer candle can burn for 4 hours. Zhao Xu just prayed a few simple words, which has already shortened it by a small amount.

Zhao Xu couldn't care less, he just stood in the cold wind, looking straight ahead.

He waited until almost a minute or two before the evil protection on him disappeared, and then he let go of his guard.

Zhao Xu immediately put out the candle in the small lantern.

Zhao Xu smiled as he looked at the "prayer candle" in his hand that scared away the ghosts just by lighting it.

Sure enough, the power of the spell is so powerful.

It's just residual power.

In fact, it is not this candle that scares away the ghosts, but the ninth-level spell behind this candle - "Gate to Another World".

As long as he recited the name of the spell just now, the candle would burn out in an instant and turn into a door to another world, from which powerful creatures would be summoned.

Antinoya introduced him to several powerful creatures at that time, allowing him to become familiar with them and carefully remember their details.

One of them is Seraph, also called Seraph.

This creature with a challenge level of 23 not only possesses powerful force, but is also equivalent to a priest who can cast ninth-level spells.

Basically, in Arthur's non-legendary realm, there are no solutions.

Even if the ancient dragon comes in person, he can still fight, let alone a mere ghost.

After Zhao Xu shook his head, he turned around and helped the people who had fallen to the ground to their feet again.

Sorry for the late posting.
