The Truth of Magic

Chapter 362 The World Is White (4K)

At this moment, Zhao Xu walked all the way to the dilapidated building, within a range of nearly 20 meters, he began to take out a book of the goddess' teachings from his backpack.

The few people behind thought that he wanted to read the teachings, clarify his thoughts, and even scolded the evil spirits that might exist in front of him, but they didn't ask any questions.

However, Zhao Xu took off his holy emblem, pressed it tightly against the tome, and then recited a sacred oath in Celestial language.

Although Zheng Xinyun and Elton could hear the content of Zhao Xu's oath clearly, as the rhythmic and well-balanced oath in Celestial Language spread to everyone's ears, more than a dozen other people also felt a wave of excitement all over their bodies. It seemed that the closer he got to Zhao Xu, the more he could feel the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

In the end, when Zhao Xu finished chanting the oath, the spell combined in the oath was also completed simultaneously.

An incomparably sacred torrent of energy directly sprayed out from the holy tome, and then magnified and radiated through the worn holy emblem.

Immediately, everyone seemed to feel the light whisper of the goddess in their ears, and the roots of their ears felt soft.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast the three-ring divine spell "Praise" (the spell lasts), your attack, defense, and saving throw get +3 luck bonus, duration: 24 hours (originally 1 round/level)]

"Ah?" All the people present couldn't help but exclaimed.

Those cavalry who have not become warriors, although they do not have a character card system and do not know that they have been blessed with a spell state, they can still feel the strengthening they have received.

Chuck, the guard captain who was born as a warrior, also saw a message on his panel, but he didn't understand the content of the spell, so he could only see the specific value of the increase.

"It's nothing, I just cast the magic spell of'praise' on everyone." Zhao Xu explained, and by the way, he also told everyone about the general blessing ability.

The other cavalrymen were still in a daze, only Mrs. Betty and Chuck in the team stared deeply at the Midsummer mage.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Xinyun is not very clear about the concept of numerical values ​​at the moment, and seeing Elton beside him also has an unbelievable expression.

At this time, Elleton was silent for a while, and then explained in a low voice: "The attack has been strengthened by 3 levels, which is equivalent to everyone carrying a +3 magic weapon, except that there is no additional damage. And the immunity is increased by 3 levels, all Worth a resistance cloak worth 9,000 gold coins."

"There's also the third level of defense, don't you understand? Your previous chain mail shirt is only at the third level."

"More importantly, this can be superimposed. The luck bonus is an additional blessing of the power of fate. However, if you don't share the same belief with Mr. Zhong Xia, you can only increase it to level 2, and only believe in the goddess together to level 3 .”

So "praise" is a very good missionary magic, Elleton did not dare to say it profanely.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Elleton also realized that Mr. Zhong Xia might actually be a priest with a special channel to perform arcane arts.

Then think of the fact that the other party said that it can make him a mage.

He suddenly understood.

The Association of Mages cannot make an ordinary person a mage, but the Goddess of Magic can.

This kind of speculation also made his heart thump, and he was even more excited about Zhao Xu's instructions.

At this moment, Zhao Xu looked back, and after confirming that everyone had been blessed by his magic, he nodded.

Praise is a spell with a range of 18 meters centered on him. This spell with a fixed distance centered on itself also happens to be applicable to "durable spells".

What's even more exaggerated is that the enemies within the range of the spell will also be punished by level 3 in those three aspects. In this way, the two aspects of attack and defense will be a full level 6 once back and forth.

In fact, the people behind him couldn't think of it, because the "Praise" of the third ring provided a good bonus, so the duration itself was only the round level.

The duration is generally only tens of seconds.

Now it was Zhao Xu who used "Spell Persistence" to extend the time to a full 24 hours, so that the intensity would be directly off the charts.

However, they had to wait until they went back to Mystra and chatted with people to react to the rest of their exclamation.

At this moment, Zhao Xu did not stop. He cast another spell directly at himself.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast the third-ring "Dragon Skin Technique" on yourself (the spell lasts), you get a 5th-level natural defense enhancement bonus, and you get a fire resistance of 20. Duration: 24 hours (originally 10 minutes/level)]

Immediately, his whole body covered by the cloak and sacrificial robe directly revealed a layer of "dragon scales".

This spell that imitated the dragon's skin made Zhao Xu's own defense bonus soar to a full 26 levels.

4th-tier armor bonus (mage armor).

Tier 4 shield bonus (shield spell).

3rd-tier sacred bonus (admiration).

5th-tier natural armor bonus (dragon skin).

With the superposition of four spells that lasted nearly a day, Zhao Xu basically had the top defense ability among the current players during this day.

Even after upgrading and mastering higher-level spells, Zhao Xu could continue to superimpose agility, deflection, insight, perception, and dodge.

Just to break into this mysterious dilapidated house, Zhao Xu made many preparations.

It's just that the mage battle itself is like this in fact. Before the battle, the whole body is full of status buffs. In fact, it only takes a moment to start the battle.

Therefore, Zhao Xu, who had stacked a 26-level defense, paired with a star cloak and a damage-limiting energy-inhibiting skin, was really hard to deal with an old hag with a challenge level of 9.

In fact, Zhao Xu also had means to improve his defense now, so that his defense was 20 levels higher than the old hag's attack, so that the opponent could only attack him if he played perfectly.

It's just that he doesn't have infinite potential points yet, and he already feels a little distressed when using the "Dragon Skin Technique" of the third ring, so he can only choose to give up other bonuses that don't improve much.

At this time, Zhao Xu looked back at Chuck behind him, glanced at the two-handed giant sword in his hands, and said, "Try stabbing me."

"My lord?" The captain of the guard, Chuck, didn't understand, and couldn't help but look back at Mrs. Betty beside him.

"Is this not good? Mr. Pastor." Mrs. Betty also worried at this time.

Although Zhong Xia blessed everyone with this magic spell just now, Chuck's attack has also been improved. When he swings the sword, the blessing of luck caused by the spell will affect him and make him more able to overcome Zhao Xu's weakness. Zhong attacked in.

Elleton immediately frowned and said, "Just try it, leader Chuck, if you can really pierce through Mr.'s defense, he just tested the actual effect of the spell before going in."

He knew that Zhong Xia had just stacked mage armor and shield for them.

Hearing this and seeing Zhong Xia's signal gaze, Chuck gritted his teeth and directly clenched the thick two-handed giant sword in his hand.

The offensive ability is absurd, but it is actually the evaluation of everyone's offensive ability. It is the kind of ability that can see the foundation even if you swing the sword blindly.

A person with a mediocre foundation like Chuck can only look at his specific performance (level 1-20 performance), that is, the basic attack ability of a legendary fighter exceeds level 20. Even if his performance is average, he can easily penetrate the defense of ordinary people.

Chuck, who has received training as a warrior, although his own attack power is only level 1, but his arm strength is not bad. After the blessing of 14 strength, his attack can be regarded as the best among the guards.

I only heard a sword piercing through the air and piercing through the wilderness, which directly startled the nearby sparrows to spread their wings and leave immediately.

Even Mrs. Betty didn't expect Chuck to use this sword seriously, and she could see that the opponent's sword was well played.

Like an antelope with horns, it can also directly attack Zhao Xu's lower ribs with a slightly tricky angle.

Ordinary people are hard to resist, and can only rely on dodge and luck.

However, Zhao Xu really stood there unmoved.

This powerful and heavy sword just pressed against Zhao Xu's chest for a few minutes and stopped in the air.

The cavalry who were shocked by the mighty Master Zhongxia just now were all amazed at Chuck at this moment. They didn't expect the other party to be able to frighten Master Zhongxia with such a short sword.

However, Chuck said at this time: "Is this the power of the spell?"

Hearing this sentence, everyone noticed that at this moment, Chuck's arms were bulging with veins, and he was holding his giant sword tightly to stab forward, but he couldn't make an inch.

The sword trembled slightly, showing how much effort Chuck had expended and how helpless he was.

"Okay." Zhao Xu said.

At this time, Chuck's giant sword was also released and fell to the ground, but his arms were still shaking uncontrollably, obviously too hard to hold back.

Chuck had heard of the earth-shattering power of spellcasters, and even he had seen the power of those scrolls in the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.

But in his view, mages have made more powerful achievements in dimensions that they cannot reach.

But he could never have imagined that a spellcaster who didn't wear half a piece of armor and a sacrificial robe prevented his giant sword from getting an inch in.

After a while, Chuck also picked up his long sword again. He finally understood why his wife had secretly found a recommendation letter from the mage family and wanted to send the young master to the floating city to learn magic.

Defeating the opponent in the dimension that the opponent is good at is the true meaning of spellcasters.

After verifying that his defensive spells were indeed in effect, Zhao Xu turned around and formally walked into the dilapidated wilderness hut.

Half of the wooden gate of this dilapidated house had been burnt down, barely leaning against the door frame, and might collapse at any time.

After Chuck followed, according to Zhao Xu's signal, he raised the giant sword and slashed towards the door frame. With a babble, the hinge broke and the whole door fell to the ground.

This muffled sound did not receive any feedback from the room.

Zhao Xu stepped forward immediately, and all the people on guard behind him were holding light crossbows in their hands, scanning and aiming in all directions.

Unexpectedly, there were no windows in the house, and no light illuminated the experience, and darkness immediately enveloped the team.

Zhao Xu tapped the top of the one-meter-long scepter in his hand.

Under the effect of the zero-ring spell "Light", his supermagic scepter seemed to turn into a torch, and a soft light spread out, illuminating the surrounding area within six or seven meters.

Slowly, other people behind also squeezed in, and the same few held torches in their hands, looking at the barren ground in the house.

The sofas and chairs in the living room were basically burnt to the point that only the shelves remained, and they were scattered on the ground. The hand-made wooden cabinets were even burnt out of shape.

"It just looks like an abandoned house that has been burned." Chuck said upon seeing this.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, the torches in everyone's hands immediately lost their light, as if an invisible and deep darkness engulfed them.

"Hehehe, welcome to visit." The piercing and hoarse voice came, as if scratching the blackboard with your nails next to your ear.

"Ah, it's that old hag!" Suddenly a cavalryman couldn't help shouting, he had already recalled the nearby legends.

"That's all."

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, smiled, and immediately yelled out a mysterious password.

After all the companions in the field heard it, although they couldn't understand it, they all felt that they seemed to have seen the weakness of the old hag.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you use "Dark Knowledge (Tactical)" (document level 1 ability), and the knowledge (plane) test passed. You and your partner get a +3-level attack reward, increase damage by 3 points, and last for 1 minute]

On the basis of the original third-level praise spell, Chuck and others immediately shouted in surprise: "Another third-level attack improvement."

At this time, in everyone's mind, although they had never seen a creature like an old hag, they seemed to know how to attack each other's weaknesses by nature.

And the level 6 bonus is already the difference in basic combat ability between a level 6 fighter and a commoner.

At this time, Zhao Xu was reactivating another ability of his own.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you use knowledge piety (knowledge field replacement), pass the knowledge (plane) test, you get a +2 level attack bonus, and increase the damage by 2 points. 】

In just a moment, Zhao Xu raised himself to another level by relying on this professional ability.

Adding it up, he has obtained a full 8th-level attack improvement, which is equivalent to the last one and a half +5 magic weapons.

It is true that mages rarely need to hit the enemy with a wooden stick by themselves, but mages have a lot of ray spells, which need to be aimed at the enemy, so the attack power itself is also useful to Zhao Xu.

And the old hag hiding in the darkness let out a cold snort at this time, it has dark vision and will not be affected by the darkness.

As if it had sensed that Zhao Xu was the most threatening person in the field, it raised its hand and cast a spell in Zhao Xu's direction.

"Sleep!"

A very common one-ring spell, the negative state can only make people fall asleep for 1 minute/level, and the aftermath of the spell spreads out two or three meters around Zhao Xu.

At this time, the teammates just moved closer to Zhao Xu, as if he had a sense of security here, but it happened to be covered by this "sleep technique" with a limited range of effects.

In an instant, there were no less than ten sounds of falling to the ground behind Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was not affected at all because he was a level 6 character who exceeded the spell's limit of 4 life dice or less.

But others, especially those cavalry of ordinary people's quality, were basically knocked down by this tactic.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was completely calm. He knew that this old hag might not just be the most basic template, but that he might have evolved additionally.

That's why the opponent's "sleep technique" had such power, which directly defeated most of their combat power.

Everyone seemed to be asleep, as long as they woke up one by one, they could break the spell.

But at this moment, with only a few people standing still, they don't have time to do this at all!

This made Elleton on the side very anxious. He didn't know whether he should cooperate with the captain to attack the enemy that was about to attack, or immediately wake up the cavalry behind him.

Zhao Xu was not nervous at all at the moment, he suddenly let out a soft crow like a rooster crowing.

The lingering sound swayed, triggering people's hearts, shattering dreams, and directly awakening everyone in the sleeping state.

Druid zero-ring magic "Dawn"!

A spell that ordinary people would never prepare, and it was Zhao Xu who had the chance to use it only by relying on his ability to cast spells spontaneously.

At the same time, Zhao Xu was ready for the second spell, and the light ball in his palm touched "Zheng Xinyun" who was still standing.

"Second-ring Holy Magic—Glorious Armor."

Zheng Xinyun's original invisible armor was directly loaded with a more powerful layer of shining armor. A protective shimmering aura directly shielded her.

At the same time, the armor itself also immediately aroused the power of the three-ring spell "Daylight".

In an instant, the entire dilapidated room was completely illuminated like daylight, and the sharp and intense light spread out, reaching every corner, completely dispelling the darkness that had been swallowed up.

When the rooster cries, the world is white.
