The Truth of Magic

Chapter 115 Wind Rises on the Flat Ground

Looking at the heavy security ahead, Zhao Xu's breath tightened a little, but he didn't make much movement.

If he is a high-defense fighter with full riding skills and riding a celestial horse, he can still sneak around these guards.

But for him now, it's better to be honest.

Although Zhao Xu was also confident that after adding mage armor and shields, his defensive ability would not be inferior to those guards who covered their heads tightly.

Ever since he became a sorcerer and could no longer apply his previous experience as a warrior, Zhao Xu would unconsciously start simulating battle scenes in various situations, secretly analyzing how he should use spells to attack and defend.

But in the face of the situation in front of him, Zhao Xu realized that there was really only the colorful spray that could bet on a group of people. The other party would not give him one round of spells for group control like hypnotism.

Zhao Xu, who had been recruited before, knew that it was meaningless for him to defeat the person in front of him. This kind of checkpoint was just the first one.

Not to mention the group in front of me, just the number of scouts lurking around, even once the iron pot in the corner was ignited, it didn't take long for the thick smoke to rise, and hundreds of people gathered here.

Thousands of years of drills, basically everyone is very experienced in searching and anti-searching for this kind of battle line arrangement.

"The adventurer on the opposite side, dismount, come over, and accept the inspection." A captain-like guard shouted loudly, and only his armor was the most dazzling, with additional metal pieces inlaid.

At the same time, there were three adventurers in similar costumes as him, all squatting in a corner with their hands tied, apparently waiting for the next wave of defense changers to arrive before sending them away.

However, Zhao Xu couldn't care too much about passers-by, so he got off his horse and stood by.

On the opposite side were three people walking towards him. They were holding light crossbows. The arrows of the crossbows all emitted a cold blue light, which looked like they had been poisoned.

After Zhao Xu was promoted to level 2, he obtained the life dice of a level 2 mage. The result of 1D4 (1-4) was 3 points. After adding his 2 points of constitution, his life value increased from 8 hp to 13 hp. Xiaoxiao can top it.

Now the mainstream first-level mages, if they have 12 constitutions, they only have 5hp.

Even a level 1 fighter might not have as high a life value as Zhao Xu at this time.

He already had the capital to not pass out after being hit by two light crossbow shots. This is the ability given to them by the life value.

"Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?"

The headed guard had a grim face. For them, if they dared to show up here at such a critical moment without going through official procedures, they would definitely be wronged if they were all killed, but if half of them were killed, they would definitely slip through the net.

Hearing this tone, Zhao Xu immediately thought of a lot.

Having worked as a checkpoint border guard, he knew that if everyone was treated as a prisoner, he would be in trouble sooner or later.

His eyes couldn't help falling into the distance, Roja probably underestimated the difficulty of the border.

There must have been some unknown changes between the Tianbei Business Alliance and between Ka Suo and Butan.

Zhao Xu knew that when he took out the mage badge at this time, the other party would definitely not recognize Oss's name behind it, but they would send him away respectfully after confirming that he was a registered mage of the association.

But North Carolina ahead, he must not even think about it.

And even if you go to another town through Nanyu Forest, it will take three days.

Compared with the current player group, Zhao Xu had been playing in Arthur for ten years, and he still knew a lot about the rules on the surface or in private.

He immediately took out the certificate issued by the Crescent Town Mage Association.

Although Zhao Xu didn't want to admit it, this letter proved that he was able to walk in the wild in Nanyu forest.

The Tianbei Merchant League, which had originally encircled and suppressed his caravan, suddenly became his logistics teammate.

The leader of this guard team may not recognize the signature of the North Carolina Mages Association, but he will definitely not recognize the signature of Crescent Town, a key resource supply town nearby.

Although Zhao Xu didn't understand why the executive officer of the association also had the signature of the crescent town government affairs office at the same time.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one, even in Arthur.

And when the three guards who came over to guard saw Zhao Xu taking out something, they had already raised their weapons to knock Zhao Xu down.

It turned out that what they saw was a document, and the three of them heaved a sigh of relief, their expressions relaxed a bit.

A certificate with a blue cover and inlaid with a gold border, even if it is a counterfeit, the cost is not low.

The guard in the lead raised his eyebrows, wondering if some important person's nephew came to have some fun.

Thinking of this, he took off his helmet, bent his straight waist slightly, and reached out to Zhao Xu, ready to take the certificate.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an arrow hit like a gust of wind, directly piercing the forehead of the guard standing at the front.

Accompanied by the other party's unbelievable gaze.

Just like that, a icy corpse fell directly, like a storm that directly swept through the hearts of everyone present.

The moment the arrow pierced through the opponent's eyebrows, accompanied by the sound of enemy attacks and screams, Zhao Xu, apart from cursing secretly where the bandits came to trick him, hurriedly began to cast spells defensively.

At this moment, yellow mud has fallen into his crotch, not poop, but poop.

The time to cast a spell is extremely precious in this face-to-face death situation.

Just when Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and was about to say the last word of "Mage Armor", one of the remaining two guards standing in front of him had already turned around and fled, while the other reacted decisively and loosened his hatred. Open the trigger of the light crossbow.

At this moment of chaos, the guards didn't see where the attack came from, but Zhao Xu, who was standing at the front, definitely committed the murder.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu cast the spell immediately. Those who still wanted to explain would probably have to go back to the Temple of Creation and explain to the statues.

"Boom." The second sound of arrows piercing through.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you failed the defense check and received 1D8=3 damage. 】

The guard's crossbow arrow hit Zhao Xu's thigh directly, and the pain hit him directly.

At this moment, Zhao Xu could only grit his teeth and be thankful that he only hit his thigh, which only cut off 3 hp damage.

If it hit him on the head, it wouldn't stop at all.

Even if it is unlucky enough to directly crit, then he can really sing the song of going back to the city with sadness.

It's just that Zhao Xu was just at the last moment of reciting the incantation. This was not a fatal injury, but the pain hit his consciousness, and even the rhythm of his original singing was thrown into chaos.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, perform a spellcasting concentration check 4 (skill level) + 2 (physical fitness) + 4 (combat reflex) + D20=10+10=20, greater than the difficulty 14=10 (basic) + 3 (damage) + 1 ( spell level), pass the check, and concentrate successfully. 】

Immediately, from his character panel, a force came directly from the focus skill, driving Zhao Xu to continue to maintain spells all over his body.

This unconscious driving force allowed Zhao Xu to successfully cast his spell.

An invisible armor appeared directly on Zhao Xu's body, as solid as a rock.

Seeing that the spell was successful, Zhao Xu immediately grabbed the mount he had summoned. Relying on the memory of his previous life's riding skills, he turned over and jumped on it, then lowered his body and pulled the horse to sprint away desperately.

At this time, seven or eight meters away, masked warriors wearing light armor rushed towards the checkpoint with scimitars in their hands. The few people who were captured at the checkpoint also took advantage of the distraction of everyone. Run away desperately.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, your defense level is level 14, if you are attacked, the test is level 13, and the defense is successful. 】

With a "ding", a crossbow arrow towards Zhao Xu's back was dispelled by the force of the mage's armor.

Zhao Xu, who was running away on horseback, couldn't help but look back to see who was chasing him desperately.
