The Truth of Magic

Chapter 171 Organ Man Goggles (23)

As time went by, the concentration of magical energy in the air gradually increased.

The permanent "secret vision" on Antinoya's body can usually only detect the formed spell effects.

However, with the sensitivity of her legendary sorcerer, she could already feel a vortex of energy forming around Zhao Xu, gathering little by little around him.

After passing through Zhao Xu's body, those magical energy streams rectified and oscillated again, and then fell on another important star position in the ceremony.

It was Zhao Xu's "star cloak" that was placed on the star position.

There are generally two ways of thinking about choosing ritual items.

One is the risk diversification type. All kinds of magic items have corresponding uses, so that even if the damaged part will not cause heavy losses.

The other is the risk-concentrated type. Zhao Xu chose the "star cloak" as the magic pet, which itself was an indispensable item.

Zhao Xu was fearless and continued to add weight to this cloak, making it a carrier of the ceremony.

In this way, Zhao Xuri only needs to care about the safety of this cloak in the future.

Many players even hold the idea that people can die, but equipment cannot be lost.

Antinoya didn't feel relieved until she saw that the "star cloak" was also shining with crystal clear light. She knew that Zhao Xu didn't cause any trouble this time.

After Antinoya breathed a sigh of relief, he let go of the hand that had been holding the "Time Reversal Talisman".

In the end, as the hourglass in the corner kept ticking, the fine sand was sprinkled, and then the bottle was turned upside down, and the sand began to fall again, after four cycles.

Zhao Xu's eyes slowly opened, and the "star cloak" in front of him returned to its original state.

Zhao Xu grabbed the cloak and put it on his body, feeling the mysterious power from the cloak again.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia equips "Star Cloak", caster level +1. 】

After Zhao Xu released the Ain stone, he saw on his character card panel that the level of the arcane spellcaster had changed to level 5, the level of the priest's magic spellcaster was level 3, and the dossier was level 4.

His caster level has been increased by 2 levels because of the Ain Stone and the ritual.

This time, Zhao Xu's ceremony, which was completely directed and acted by himself from beginning to end, was finally a success.

"Okay." Antinoya yawned lightly. After sitting for eight hours, she also felt a little sleepy.

"Then teacher, I'll take my leave first?" Zhao Xu secretly reckoned that it's getting late, and it might be almost three or four o'clock in the morning.

There are not many spells he needs to prepare again in the morning. Just go to the place designated by Antinoya and hand it over to get another magic item from him.

"Well, wait a minute."

At this moment, Antinoya walked up to Zhao Xu, "Extend your hand."

Zhao Xu was now more or less used to the other party's way of doing first and then explaining, and rolled up his sleeves as Antinoya ordered.

"What pattern do you want?"

"Pattern? Whatever you want."

Zhao Xu was a little surprised, it wouldn't be that Antinoya wanted to paint on her hands like a primary school student.

Antinoya stretched out her white fingertips and lightly touched Zhao Xu's arm.

Suddenly, a wave of heat rushed in, and Zhao Xu felt a little burning and numbness.

After Antinoya finished, he turned around and left, and the whole process was smooth and smooth.

At this time, on Zhao Xu's wrist, a small flower with six petals appeared on the spot where ordinary people would wear a watch.

This style is exactly the mark that Antinoya usually adds to her magic items.

Zhao Xu couldn't help rubbing it with his hands, and found that the pattern had penetrated deeply into the skin like a tattoo.

If he saw this cute little flower for Elswig, he would die laughing at her.

But after Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, he immediately regained his composure and thought.

"Guess what I just did. If you guess correctly within 10 seconds, I can lend you this amulet for a while before you come back."

Speaking of which, Antinoya took off the amulet she had just hung on her chest, hooked it on her fingertips, and showed it to Zhao Xu.

There is a brass-colored chain on the amulet, and a slender hourglass with a narrow mouth is connected to the bottom, and the two ends of the hourglass are fastened by gold bases.

But Zhao Xu had no time to look at it.

Antinoya could carry it on her own, instead of putting it in her bag.

He didn't even dare to guess the value. If he was not careful, he would easily underestimate it by ten times.

But there was no doubt that it was strong enough that Antinoya would think it was useful.

And Zhao Xu examined the state of his whole body the moment the flowers appeared.

So without even the slightest hesitation, he said as soon as Antinoya finished speaking: "Make magic tattoos."

After hearing Zhao Xu's answer, Antinoya's eyes lit up, and she was finally satisfied with Zhao Xu's reaction.

Making magic tattoos is a second-level arcane art, and each person can mount up to three tattoos on his body.

There are three levels of tattoo power, a total of 8 types. As the level of the caster increases, higher level tattoos can be cast.

From the simplest increase of defense level 1 level dodge bonus, to the strongest "caster level + 1", they are all the effects of spells.

Zhao Xu saw that he had become a level 6 spellcaster, and understood that this was the strongest level of effect that Antinoya had chosen.

Zhao Xu once cast this spell on himself in the final scroll space when he learned it.

It's just that the effect of "caster level +1" requires a caster level of 13 or higher.

Although this did not require a level 13 sorcerer, Zhao Xu had no way of achieving it, so he never thought about improving through this spell.

Unexpectedly, Antinoya just cast this spell on him.

However, Antinoya's way of asking was obviously not just about the name of the spell.

Zhao Xu quickly continued to add, "Mentor, you used the 'supernatural spell' ability, and then added the spell delay effect."

"Now it can be regarded as progress."

Zhao Xu wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, when he blurted out, he still noticed that the countdown time for this spell was a full "48 hours."

After the time is up, the tattoo will disappear, and the effect of the natural spell will also disappear.

The casting time for making magic tattoos is ten minutes, and the process of implementing the spell is also the process of tattooing, and then the duration of the spell is 24 hours.

Moreover, the spell itself requires tattoo needles and special ink materials for tattoos, but just now Antinoya just pressed it lightly, in less than a few seconds, and did not use any materials.

So Zhao Xu guessed that the other party used the spell guardian's professional ability - "supernatural spell" just like when he used the wish spell before.

This ability can turn spells into supernatural abilities. On the one hand, the casting time is compressed to less than 6 seconds. On the other hand, spell equipment such as tattoo needles and spell materials such as tattoo ink can be saved accordingly.

For this, Zhao Xu could only look enviously. He had to be level 9 to obtain this ability.

At that time, when he casts spells, he doesn't need to carry that pile of stupid spell materials anymore.

Especially the "spider walk" in the second-level spell requires the caster to swallow a spider, so as to gain the spider's vertical climbing ability.

Zhao Xu thought to himself that he couldn't do this for spells. Anyway, if he really wanted to use it, he would spend 1 point of potential to simulate the "Spell Casting Without Material" feat, or use a magic scroll to cast spells.

As for the duration of the spell "Making Magic Tattoos" increased from 24 hours to 48 hours, it was natural that Antinoya paired it with "Spell Delay" to double the duration.

For the next two days, Zhao Xu was a "Second Ring Mage" whose spell effect reached level 6 of the caster level.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he also took the unknown amulet from Antinoya.

"Teacher, what is the effect of this talisman?" Zhao Xu opened the brass chain of the talisman and pondered.

"It's so troublesome. Every time I put a spoon into your mouth, I have to explain to you what I ate today." Antinoya complained angrily, and she threw a pair of goggles from her backpack to Zhao Xu .

"In the future, you will identify magic items by yourself," Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu looked at the goggles that were thrown over. It consisted of two parts, one was a golden frame with lenses, and the other was an ear clip connected by a chain.

Zhao Xu immediately put on the goggles and looked at the amulet in front of him through it, but there was no response.

"This thing is called organ goggles. It costs 1,500 gold coins. You can deduct it from your apprentice's salary later." After doing some calculations for Zhao Xu, Antinoya found a soft sofa and sat down. She was already a little sleepy.

"If you use the 'Detect Magic' spell through this goggle, you can obtain the effect of identification in disguise."

Zhao Xu originally complained about Antinoya's explanation, so why not tell him about the effect of the talisman.

But after hearing the second half of Antinoya's sentence, Zhao Xu couldn't help staring at the goggles in surprise.

Identification, a first-level spell that can detect the ability of magic items, requires 100 gold coins of pearls as the spell material.

And detect magic is a first-level spell that does not require any magic materials.

That is to say, through the magic item of 1500 gold coins, all his future appraisals will be equivalent to free.

Although Zhao Xuri will master "supernatural spells" in the future, it won't cost 100 gp then.

But that's "then" after all.

Zhao Xu immediately wanted to set up a stall on Mystra's street to appraise magic items for a fee, so he charged 100 gold coins at a time, which was what others thought was the material cost.

As for the casting service fee of 25 gold coins, Zhao Xuren kindly gave it away for free.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Xu still honestly cast "detection magic" on the amulet in front of him.

Can Antinoya be able to carry something on his body, which will shock him to some extent?
