The Truth of Magic

Chapter 160 Advanced Secret (33)

The Hall of Truth is the highest core area of ​​the floating city, which is equivalent to the brain of the floating city.

The Mystery Core and the Energy Center Core of the entire Floating Void City extend from the Hall of Truth.

All levels of the Mage Association headquarters are also in the Hall of Truth.

On the contrary, it is the various logistics organizations serving the entire floating city that are set up on the surface of the floating city.

Zhao Xu and Antinoya went through several registration procedures, and even he had to take out the mage's badge and the mithril chip before he was let by the magic guards.

This was also the first time Zhao Xu was tested by the magic guards at close range.

After Zhao Xu passed the checkpoint, still looking curious, he looked back at the resolute magic guards.

"Don't be curious, you will be theirs in the future," Antinoya said.

"I?"

Zhao Xugang and Antinoya entered the alchemy elevator, and Zhao Xu was a little surprised when he heard what Antinoya said.

"Mentor, you also have the advanced profession of 'Spell Guard'?" Zhao Xu asked.

"What do you say?"

Before Zhao Xu could continue to ask, the alchemy elevator had reached the bottom floor.

Zhao Xu watched the two fine gold gates slowly open, then walked out, feeling extravagant by the way.

Next, the two of them walked up a narrow and gloomy corridor. The entire road was covered in a dim magical aura, and the most common unquenchable flame lamps in the floating city were not installed.

When Zhao Xu became a level 3 mage, he mastered the level 2 spell of immortal flame.

You only need to sprinkle 50GP of ruby ​​powder on the corresponding object, and then cast the spell "Immortal Flame" on the target.

That object is capable of burning with a heatless but eternal flame that will not go out even in the absence of oxygen.

Therefore, the most indispensable thing in the floating city is this kind of lighting items.

This was also the first time that Zhao Xu had seen such dark corridors in the Floating Void City. They were so damp that even the corners of the walls grew green moss, like clusters of green spots.

"There's no open fire on this road." Antinoya explained, "Otherwise, special attacks will be triggered."

"Because of the Molin stele?" Zhao Xu recalled the connection between the Molin stele and the fire elemental plane.

"That's not true. The Molin Stone Tablet has long been expelled from all abnormal power. It's just that something is sealed underground in this corridor."

Listening to Antinoya's words, Zhao Xu couldn't help admiring the courage of the masters of the Mage Association.

Sure enough, everything that is considered dangerous has to be sealed under his nose.

Just like the final scroll, it was suppressed at the bottom of the obelisk.

Even if Zhao Xu wanted to go, Antinoya could only take him through the back door, because the formal entry process and ceremony were too complicated.

"Teacher, why are you looking at the stele this time?" Zhao Xu finally asked.

Before, he was kicked by Antinoya to the dark era of the ancient times, and then he walked around and came back. Antinoya was extremely mysterious throughout the whole process, and didn't say much to him.

Now that he was about to reach the hiding place of the Morin stele, Zhao Xu finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Let the sorcerer explain it to you." Antinoya said simply.

In the end, the two of them walked for almost ten minutes before passing through the corridor, and Antinoya rarely used spells during the whole process.

"Proof." Two guards in pitch-black full-body armor stopped the two of them.

Zhao Xu didn't expect to get to this point and still have to check.

Moreover, he had never seen this kind of person in full-body armor in Floating Void City before, so he couldn't help being very curious, and kept looking at the three people in front of him, feeling that it was too cold.

Ordinary mages are very taboo to piercing armor, and the failure rate of arcane spells will make people feel distressed, even if Mithril is added.

At this moment, Antinoya took out a piece of leather paper with a thin gold leaf on it from his pocket, and handed it over.

And the mage with the heavy hood held out his hand from behind the two armored guards, took the proof documents and looked through them carefully, then nodded and let them pass.

"That sorcerer's hands are abnormally skinny," Zhao Xu said in a low voice.

"It's enough for an undead creature like a lich to show you a skinny hand," Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu's eyes widened immediately.

Lich!

Lich, as the caster of undead creatures, can be said to have a great reputation in Arthur. As long as the phylactery is not destroyed, even if they are killed, they can be resurrected in a short time.

Therefore, the lich often serves as the final behind-the-scenes boss in Arthur's heroic novels.

It's just that the lich is not mostly an evil camp?

Antinoya seemed to have guessed what Zhao Xu was thinking, and explained, "Although there are grand liches of the good camp in the lich group, the one you saw just now is indeed a lawful and evil lich. I lost the bet, so I have to guard the floating city here for 100 years."

It was only then that Zhao Xu realized that it was no wonder that the guards in the previous checkpoints, even if they were extremely serious, would take the initiative to pay respect to Antinoya. At this level, it turned out to be cold, and it turned out to be an unreasonable lich.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look forward to the Molin stele ahead.

No matter how you look at it, it may not be ordinary.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu followed Antinoya into a hemispherical hall. There were at least a dozen people standing in every corner of the room. They raised their heads and glanced at the two of them before continuing on with their respective tasks.

The Molin stele that Zhao Xu had seen in the dark era still stood in the middle of the hall, but there was still no trace of it.

Didn't have what Antinoya said, carved something?

And three meters in front of the stele, there is another stone bench that looks like the same material.

Is it possible to let him sit there?

At this time, a mage who was in charge in the hall came forward, bowed slightly to Antinoya and said, "Miss, long time no see."

On the other hand, Antinoya waved his hand lightly, and pointed at Zhao Xu, "He came to test, please explain to him by the way."

The sorcerer looked at Zhao Xu and smiled, showing his white teeth: "Introduce yourself, Hill, the person in charge of the Morin Stele Awakening Ceremony."

"Awakening ceremony?" Zhao Xu asked.

And Master Hill immediately understood that Antinoya didn't explain too much to Zhao Xu in advance, so he said with a hearty smile, "Advanced career awakening ceremony."

"But I don't have level 5?" Zhao Xu asked with a hint of doubt.

Although he likes to go into the high-level route, no matter how it looks, it will not be any worse than being able to obtain a specialization at level 5 for a mage.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhong Xia, it is true that the core seeds of the Floating Void City will be arranged here for the awakening ceremony only after reaching level 5, ensuring that they can awaken and advance with a probability of more than 70%."

"However, there are quite a few core cores like you who will enjoy some special treatment. For example, you may travel outside for a long time. Once you reach the limit of upgrading, it is easy to be directly promoted to the original profession, and miss the promotion to the Opportunities for advanced careers.”

"That's why Floating Void City also allows you to obtain the content of advanced occupations in advance, so that even if you upgrade while traveling abroad, you can smoothly advance to advanced occupations."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu understood.

It turns out that this advanced awakening ceremony is not available to everyone.

"Then how do you wake up?" Zhao Xu asked.

Magic Hill lowered his head slightly and looked at Zhao Xu: "It's very simple, as long as you sit on that stone bench, we will start the ceremony, stimulate energy, and allow you to communicate with this Molin stele."

"Then the stele will absorb your consciousness, allowing you to test as if you were in a certain space. According to the results of the test, the stele will arrange suitable advancement for you."

When Zhao Xu heard it, it wasn't that complicated, so he nodded.

Suddenly, Antinoya directly used the "soul link" to communicate with his heart.

Although Zhao Xu didn't understand that Antinoya didn't say what he wanted to say at the beginning, he only whispered it with magic when he got here. However, he quickly connected to the other party's connection request.

"Wait, if that stele makes things difficult for you, you can retell him what you saw in the past." Antinoya said in a flat tone.

Zhao Xu didn't react for a moment.

Retelling to the stele?

"Oh, this stele has been bragging to me that when it was first born, the truth of magic was engraved on it. After Ernest met him, he became the most powerful mage relying on the content on the stele."

Zhao Xu immediately realized: "No, isn't it blank now?"

"It said that Ernest didn't want anyone to see the stele become a powerful mage like him, so he deliberately erased the contents of the stele."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips. This stele was too good to brag about, and he really regarded himself as the ultimate stele.

"Since you have seen it in the age of the ancient dark era. Then when it made things difficult for you and refused to advance you, you can say this to mock it, and naturally it will not dare to make things difficult for you anymore."

"This stele has a 70% chance of awakening, because only 70% of them are barely pleasing to the eye. But even if you are within 70%, you will be seriously injured by the opponent's vicious methods."

"So in the Floating Void City, many mages who rely on this stone tablet to advance to the next step have a shadow of it."

Only then did Zhao Xu suddenly realize why Antinoya had to go around such a big circle and let herself travel back in time to see with her own eyes the Molin stele before she met Ernest.

It turned out that he was asked to establish an unbreakable "friendship" with the stele first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu looked at the stele with a smile, walked over slowly, and sat on the stone bench made of the same material in front of the stele. It's funny to say that it's been at least 10,000 years since the last time they met each other.

"Start." Mage Hill also ordered at this time.

Immediately, the seven mages sat directly at the seven core positions of the magic circle, and coordinated with each other to connect the central hub of the ritual circle.

As the triggerers, they all dedicated their spell slots as fuel for the magic circle.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, began to connect to the core of "Molin Stele\
