The Truth of Magic

Chapter 649 Dead Magic Area

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Antinoya unexpectedly did not show a look of shock, on the contrary, her pale face began to turn red again.

"Your connection with the abyss seems to have become more and more obvious." She assessed.

"connect?"

To be honest, Zhao Xu hadn't even been to the abyss, and even his" chaotic" camp had only deflected later.

"Anyway, you memorize the last section of the mysterious mantra corresponding to each level of the abyss. At that time, I was pale and vomited several times. The teacher forced me to recite those mantras."

Speaking of which, Antinoya's tone became more serious, "These spells can create miracles when necessary, and sometimes it depends on whether they can survive."

"A miracle?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but looked up at Antinoya in a daze, "Even you, the mentor?"

"midsummer."

Antinoya took a step into Zhao Xu at this time, and he was only a few punches away from him, "I feel that you are floating more and more now."

As she said that, she glanced at Zhao Xu and said angrily: "I can tell you that the three special outer planes of the endless abyss, the nine hells, and the outer domain are also the top three most dangerous planes among many planes." .”

"If you hold the idea that you have the 'power of iron heart' and will never fall into a desperate situation again, then I advise you to stay in Arthur's main material plane and practice to the legendary level first."

Hearing the other party's slap in the face, Zhao Xu, who originally thought he had made up for the last shortcoming, couldn't help standing upright humbly, "Please guide me."

This kind of respect made Antinoya raise his head in satisfaction, as if he had been greatly satisfied.

"First of all, are you aware of the flaws in your Iron Heart?"

The current Zhao Xu was no longer Wuxia Amon. Since time travelling, he had forcibly recovered his spell position by relying on "potential points", and he didn't sleep for more than three hours a day.

At this moment, when he was instructed, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly said, "As a mage who cultivates both Sinn and Austrian, what I am most afraid of is that the corresponding area cannot cast spells, and the power of the iron heart is aimed at the 'anti-magic field'. kind of situation."

"But there is another kind—the dead magic area. But since the three generations of magic goddesses gave up the magic net and fed it back to the core of the plane, isn't there no such place as the dead magic area?"

In the era of the second generation of Goddess of Magic, Arthur still had "dead magic areas", and these areas could be said to be restricted areas for every spellcaster, and that was also the era when the combat profession still retained the last trace of dignity.

As Zhao Xu said, his tone weakened. Arthur didn't have the dead magic area, but it didn't mean that there were no other planes.

Therefore, traveling between planes is extremely dangerous even for an archmage.

There is no magic place at all. The power of iron heart can suppress all negative states, but it cannot reverse reality and turn it into a normal magic place.

The power of iron heart is like a "gas mask", which can allow Zhao Xu to breathe normally in the poisonous gas area, but what he really enters is a vacuum area, and no matter how strong the gas mask is, it won't help.

Unless he brings his own oxygen tank.

At this moment, Antinoya took out a mysterious instrument from his backpack.

It looks like a brass ball with a diameter of 10 centimeters, installed on a round brass box with a diameter of no more than 20 centimeters, with patterns carved on each surface.

As Antinoya pulled the sphere up, the device suddenly opened, revealing the inner device, including a series of crystal lenses and different operating handles and levers.

"This thing is called 'Plane Sextant'. It can help us analyze the specific characteristics of the plane, and thus assist us in making judgments."

"Try to operate it and analyze the characteristics of the main material plane."

As Antinoya handed it over, Zhao Xu also placed it on the stone table on the high tower, observing the topmost pattern - the outermost circle is a circle of intermittent patterns, one side is a curved triangular sawtooth, the other side There are black and white long grids of different scales, and there are more than ten kinds of complicated and mysterious patterns in the gaps.

The inner layer is a large triangle, which is inscribed with a circle, and the circle is inscribed with a triangle. Their lines all have some sawtooth waves, and are also full of different pattern symbols.

After searching the knowledge of the plane, coupled with his own intelligence, he used the "identification technique" by the way. Under the double insurance, Zhao Xu completely mastered the method of using this plane sextant and the characteristics that can be judged .

1. Gravity: Whether it is normal, high specific gravity, low specific gravity, objective gravity, subjective gravity or even different gravity.

2. Time: Whether the flow rate is normal, fast, slow or irregular or even no flow.

3. Region: The plane is infinite, limited or independent.

4. Form: whether the basic natural form of the plane is changeable, divided into eternal change, height change, magic change, divine power change, and independent change.

5. Elements: Whether it is dominated by air, earth, fire, water or even positive and negative energies.

Sixth, the camp: whether it is biased towards a specific camp, and whether it is moderate or strong.

Seven: Magic: dead magic (non-existent), wild magic (unpredictable effect), impeding magic (more difficult to cast spells), enhanced magic (casting spells with super magic effects) or limited magic (only certain schools, sub-schools, descriptions or level of spell effect)

At the same time, the sextant can also reveal the location and information of the portal within a range of 20 meters.

And it can also assist plane knowledge to judge the name of the current plane.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help shaking his head. If he had had this thing in the mysterious cave, he would have been much more relaxed.

"This sextant is for you." Antinoya said after seeing that Zhao Xu had mastered the magic device.

Zhao Xu also nodded.

The key to this strange object worth 54,000 gold coins is that the retrieved information is comprehensive, and it also made him realize the rigor of plane travel.

Even a five-ring "transmission from another world" could reach the top of the abyss, but Antinoya didn't do this, but made a lot of preparations with him first.

Just to judge the characteristics of the plane, a strange thing with tens of thousands of gold coins was used.

It is never an empty talk for mages to make a decision before acting. Even ordinary mages who cannot cast spells spontaneously have to prepare targeted spells in advance and purchase enough coping scrolls.

"Seeing those different magic areas, you understand the seriousness of the problem, right?" Antinoya said.

Zhao Xu nodded sincerely.

The other world is far from being as simple as he thought.

In addition to the dead magic area, there are wild magic area, hindered magic area, enhanced magic area, limited magic area, etc., especially the latter ones exist in Arthur.

"Zhong Xia, do you still remember your original goal?" Antinoya asked.

Zhao Xu also replied with a sense of enlightenment: "Become Arthur's sharpest long sword, and cut everything wherever the sword goes."

"Then what do you have to do to do that?"

"Make up for all your shortcomings."

Zhao Xu said after a little thought.

"The mage's spell table is not wide enough, so my second route for dual elites is the file scholar with the full table."

"It is expensive for a mage to learn to copy spells, so I enter the final scroll to master spells."

"Mages need to prepare fixed spells, so I study the Versatile Spellcaster and Strange Seeer feats."

"Mages have limited spell slots per day, so I master unrestrained heroism and potential points, and have unlimited battery life."

"Mage spells have a limited duration, so I learned spell delay and spell persistence."

"Mage's super magic expertise is limited by the number of rings, so I am an advanced super magic magician to master the super magic control ability."

"The power of mage spells is limited, so I learn the specialties of extreme spell effects and spell twinning."

"Mage spells require spell resistance and some materials are expensive, so I am an advanced spell guardian."

"Mages will be restricted by the anti-magic field, so I learn the iron heart style martial art, the power of iron heart."

What was left was the wise caster, the priest domain, and the red jade guard who made up for the follow-up actions. In all of these, Zhao Xu was making up for the shortcomings of the "mage" who was a top class.

This is also the reason why he is only level 10, but his own combat power is comparable to a legend. Even after getting a suitable magic weapon, he can deal thousands of damage.

"Then you understand now?" Antinoya smiled knowingly.

Zhao Xu also understood with a smile, "So before going to the abyss, we have to make up for this weakness in the magic area?"

"How many equipment positions are you missing?" Antinoya asked back.

"The only two positions left are the wrist and the outer torso."

There are three main clothing slots for magic items.

The shoulders are specially used for cloaks and cloaks, and Zhao Xu is equipped with the "star cloak."

The inner body is specially used for vests, dresses or shirts. Zhao Xu's is the "Great Sage's Robe."

Outer body, dedicated to armor and robes.

Zhao Xu never considered armor because of its arcane failure rate.

As for the robes he is wearing now, they are still standard robes, inlaid with Mystra's mark, mainly because the robes are not very good.

Even the shirt position on the inner body, if there is a great sage's vestment, otherwise Zhao Xu is more likely to be vacant.

Even now that he has grown up, the effect of the great sage's vestment on him is no longer so obvious.

But clothing is an identity, so Zhao Xu didn't consider anything else.

"So, this is for you."

Speaking of which, Antinoya handed over a robe with Antinoya's personal emblem clearly marked on it.

"It's not a big problem to turn this robe into a magic item. It's just that the sewing itself gave me a headache. Thanks to it, my craft (tailoring) skills are almost upgraded."

At this time, when Zhao Xu took it over, he clearly found that the robe in his hand felt like silk. The details of the workmanship were exquisite, and the details of the pressed buttons were not inferior to the luxurious clothing on earth.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but glanced at the other's hands and fingers, and found that there was not even a thimble mark on them, let alone a wound.

To be honest, Antinoya's crafting (tailoring) skills probably don't even have level 3, but to be able to make such a level above 40, it is obvious that the remaining 37 levels are all made up by spells.

"The name of this robe is called the Firm Casting Set. It has a variety of styles, generally depending on the race and plane characteristics of the creator. Among the styles I have seen, it ranges from snow-white long-distance runners to book pages decorated with earth-colored ones. There are clothes."

"As for its greatest effect, it allows you to cast spells regardless of the magical characteristics of the plane. Except for the dead magic area, you can cast spells normally in the wild magic area, hindered magic area, and limited magic area. Of course, you will encounter favorable conditions. You can take it off and use it to strengthen the magic zone."

Speaking of which, Antinoya raised her head proudly.

"Thank you, mentor."

Zhao Xu cherished this and stroked the robe in his hand. At the same time, he took off the cloak of stars. The wine red robe of the great sage that was exposed was immediately covered by this brand new robe.

Although it was only a 25,000 gold coin, a magic item made with limited wish or miracle as the core, it perfectly made up for most of Zhao Xu's current problems with plane magic characteristics.

When he was fully dressed, Zhao Xu's own aura became even more energetic.

"Very good." Antinoya nodded in satisfaction.

"In this way, there is only one last problem left - the dead magic area, which needs to be solved."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu's heart beat faster.

After making up for this shortcoming, he is unstoppable in terms of casting spells.

With spells in hand, one grasps the truth of Arthur, which is no longer an illusion for him.

"Then do you know the direction?" Antinoya asked back.

Zhao Xu was a little stunned by this, but he replied directly, "I've heard of a method."

"Um?"

"It seems to be called the 'Believers' specialty."

"That's right." Antinoya agreed, "The believer's specialty can only be mastered by a believer who has achieved the goal of God through hard work. This specialty usually allows believers to obtain additional spells and abilities, such as giving certain buffs And it allows a certain number of spells to be added to the list of priests."

"So this is also a means of expanding the table."

"Because the Specialty of Believers requires a deep connection with the gods of faith, everyone can only have one Specialty of Believers."

Speaking of which, Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu's handsome and heroic face with great interest, "Then do you know the specialty of believers of the goddess of magic, Sisilvina?"

Looking at Antinoya's slightly seductive eyes at this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help swallowing, and replied, "Yes, mastering this specialty means that you have been accepted and know the greatest secret of the Goddess Church."

"Even in the dead magic area or anti-magic force field, as long as you successfully pass the caster level test, you can successfully cast the spell."

It's just that Zhao Xu frowned immediately, "It's just that the specialty requires not only the belief in the goddess, but also a level 3 priest."

At this time, Zhao Xu's magical route was only a level 1 priest, and it was extremely difficult to draw Nine Swords, let alone draw a level 2 to continue to increase the priest level.

This is also the reason why he didn't think much about this specialty before. Generally speaking, he had to wait until he was legendary before considering adding an additional 2 priest levels.

"No, after the cataclysmic era, the chosen ones of the goddess don't need a level 3 priest." Antinoya said in a straight voice.
