The Truth of Magic

Chapter 123: Monster Illustrated Book (20,000 words completed)

Zhao Xu, who was asked, looked around in surprise and realized that he was actually only a first-level mage present.

"What about you." Fat Lynch nudged Zhao Xu with his elbow, thinking that the soft seat finally belonged to him.

If the previous lecture was given by a five-ring mage, then the other party must know the "Shining Mithril" badge, and it will be 100% true.

Now it is Nuoqi, the Nine-ring mage. Although this mage is not young in real age, he is still very young in the group of Nine-ring mages.

Lynch usually heard his elders praise Nuoqi's transformation skills when he was in Mystra's home.

It is just that he has entered the seed cultivation sequence of the legendary mage.

Perhaps after hundreds of years, he would become the legendary mage Nuoqi.

Most of these "young" senior mages have been the pride of heaven since childhood, full of arrogance, so they don't care about your unspoken rules. The descendants of giants dare to follow the instructions.

Master Nine Rings didn't even dare to fart, that would be a bad enough thing to do.

Just as Fat Lynch was imagining this, he noticed that Zhao Xu had stood up, and he couldn't help but start weaving gossip topics after dinner tonight.

The title of "Mysterious Shining Mithril Badge Holder, the Nine-ring Mage Who Raised the Pulpit" looks good.

"I--"

After Zhao Xu stood up, he was about to speak but hesitated.

But when Nuo Qi saw him, his complexion changed. After taking a few deep breaths, he said slowly, "Forget it, since you have the desire to learn, you should sit down and listen to the lecture."

"Start now." Nuoqi walked back to the large whiteboard, lost in thought.

At this time, many mages in the first row turned their heads and leaned over to look at Zhao Xu, but they didn't see anything strange.

All of these high-ranking mages used the "Constant Magic Technique" to stabilize the third-level arcane "Mystic Sight".

If there is no cover, the eyes of these mages will emit a faint blue light, and they can see all the magic aura within a range of forty or fifty meters.

As long as it is a magic item or a continuous spell, if it is not deliberately covered, it will be invisible under the effect of this spell.

It is an upgraded version of the first-level spell "Detect Magic". In addition to faster detection, it no longer requires the caster to continue to focus on maintaining the spell effect.

Even if they stay focused, they can see whether the corresponding creature has the ability to cast spells.

In their eyes, Zhao Xu had nothing but a Howard convenience bag that could emit magical aura.

Since Zhao Xu returned to Floating Void City and knew that Antinoya would mark the magic items she created, he deliberately put a cover on them.

Only a few senior mages who were closer noticed that there was a silver chip pinned to the back of Zhao Xu's mage badge, and they immediately knew that it was the "shining mithril" rarely issued by the association.

Among them, the mithril chip will also have a motto representing three levels, but if the motto is not torn off, the content will not be known.

As long as any gold-level chip is installed, it will be equipped with means to prevent magic detection, so the arcane vision can't see the aura of this chip, and it can only be checked with the most stupid naked eyes.

Nine-ring mages like Nuoqi are enough to get this level of badge. It stands to reason that there is no need to make fun of the kid in front of him before clarifying the level of the motto behind.

With this in mind, most of the mages who turned their heads returned to their original postures and continued to wait for the speech ahead.

The nine-ring mage gets a chip, which is usually engraved with the lowest level of "May the magic be with you always, please help the badge holder." Proverbs.

What's more, it's not what ordinary nine-ring mages can get.

As for the legendary motto "May the magic be with you always, please try to assist the badge holder in all relevant matters", the president of the association, Oss, is not eligible to wear it even if he has a son with nine rings.

Thinking of this, the old mage closest to Zhao Xu lowered his head, wiped his blurry glasses, and smiled.

At this time, Nuoqi had already manipulated the invisible servants who were specially placed on the podium to assist, and controlled them to start writing the simple configuration of the core four transformations on the white drawing board.

Zhao Xu, who couldn't understand these for the time being, lowered his head obediently, and took out the "Basic 100 Questions for Introduction to Transformation" in his hand to read it for comparison.

This made Lynch, who glanced at the title of the book, forcefully hold back his smile, almost holding back his internal injuries.

"Who can tell me why the four major deformation techniques of the core system are so difficult to learn?"

At this time, Master Nuoqi suddenly became very serious and said.

After hearing this, the sorcerers sitting in the back row were a little confused. Isn't this the first question of Transformation?

Most of the high-ranking mages in the first row had their eyes peeled. They didn't expect to come to the hardest dry goods from the very beginning.

"What is it?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but lowered his head and asked Lynch.

The seats of everyone present are separated very far, so it is not convenient to chat with each other.

If you really want to chat in private, these mages will choose to use magic to solve it. After all, many of the conversations involve important research secrets.

"Because you don't know, how can something you don't know change." Lynch was not angry.

"Aren't there pictures and data of these creatures?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

Before he used the shape change, he just looked at the monster illustration book.

Who knows if Lynch looked at him with a look on his mind, "You can cook just by looking at the recipe?"

Those level 1 and level 2 novice mages who needed performance the most were kicked out long ago.

The rest are basically mages who have research tasks or have affiliations, but no one needs to show anything.

Let the most basic question of this deformation system fall into awkward silence.

Those who can't answer and shock everyone, these mages are too lazy to speak.

And Nuo Qi also expected that it was for this reason that he deliberately drove away those novice mages, and talking to himself was the teaching method he was used to.

Among the people present, no one is qualified to answer the question he asked.

"The first essence of transformation is to have a deep understanding of what it is, so that you can change it."

"You can't ask a mage who has never seen an elf to use the 'transformation technique' to become an elf. It is even difficult for him to transform into another human being he has never seen."

Having said that, Master Nuoqi continued to manipulate the invisible servant to write and outline a few simple formulas on the whiteboard.

"Then there is the second basic problem. Even if we have a deep understanding of the creature to be transformed, it may fail to transform. So we have been studying how to have a deep understanding of the target creature."

"After our research a few days ago, we finally discovered a trick that can increase the success rate of the core four transformations."

After Master Nuoqi finished speaking, several invisible servants split up and wrote various spell formulas on the drawing board that was four or five people high.

At this time, Zhao Xu also quickly took out an Ion stone, let go and floated it on his head. He had noticed just now that some mages also had an Ion stone on their heads, so he didn't have much taboo.

Fat Lynch, who was originally attracted by what was written on the whiteboard, suddenly heard Zhao Xu make a sound.

He turned his head directly, only to find that Zhao Xu had pulled out a transparent prismatic Ion stone.

Immediately Lynch gritted his teeth with soreness. When did the first-ring mages start with 36,000 gold coins of Ion Stone.

The price of this thing is so high that there are 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins bought in the auction house of Floating Void City.

He is still reluctant to buy one to play with, and can only look at his sister's greedy eyes.

And after Zhao Xu blessed the "reading magic", he finally began to barely understand the meaning of some formulas.

It's just that his intelligence is limited, and he often has to calculate several steps on the draft by himself before he can come to the conclusions of the mental calculations of the mages present.

But Zhao Xu wasn't frustrated. When everyone was learning spells at the beginning, they all drafted honestly.

As a wise spellcaster like him, he calculated according to the calculator, so naturally he will suffer a bit now.

Zhao Xu, who started to seriously walk on the path of mage, had enough patience to repeat the path traveled by the majority of native mages.

"I'm going, so that's what I mean." Fat Lynch only had five rings, but he looked at the whiteboard with relish, and immediately slapped his legs and shouted loudly.

This made the elderly mage sitting closest couldn't help frowning.

The low-level mages these days are too unskilled to pretend. It's not like they knew that they had to lay the groundwork before they could cause the biggest turning point.

Lynch usually calls himself Fat Lord to his family and servants, but in his heart, he often feels inferior because of his double body size.

Therefore, the transfiguration and transfiguration techniques that can temporarily change the body shape are his special skills.

Lynch's dream is to wait until the 15th level to master the eight-ring "transform everything" spell and change him from a fat man to a thin man.

There are indeed lower-level spells that can achieve the effect of losing weight, but they are not as eternal and cheap as the spell "Transform Everything".

"It's so wonderful." Fatty Lynch kept nagging in Zhao Xu's ear.

It's just that the lines in his mouth are all too great, too wonderful, too strong, how is it possible, etc., without any substance at all.

At this time, Master Nuoqi was already concentrating on the whiteboard, he didn't say a word, and he didn't bother to talk to the fat man who kept talking.

All languages ​​are clearly spoken in these deconstructed spell models.

This is also the reason why he wants to drive away those who have not learned these spells. What's the point of listening to the heavenly scriptures.

"Do you not understand?" Fat Lynch noticed Zhao Xu's frowning expression at this moment, and when he probed, he found that the draft he wrote was still at the threshold of the initial entry.

"Then Mr. Lynch, may I ask you?"

Because Zhao Xu had never learned these spells, he had no clue at all, so he immediately asked humbly.

"Hehe, look at the triple decomposition under the soup-like structure in the seventh line. There is the most important core of Transfiguration. It proves a long-standing suspicion."

"What?"

Seeing that Zhao Xu's appetite was swayed, Lynch finally opened his mouth and continued, "Didn't you just say that if you don't have a deep understanding, it is basically impossible to transform into the target creature."

"Even if there is a precedent of successful transformation without knowing the target creature, it cannot be reproduced successfully."

Having said that, Fatty Lynch was about to start a big move to shock the fool in front of him.

"In the way of "deep understanding" now, there may be an additional way, so that we don't have to take the most primitive way of getting along with each other for a long time."

"So I'm afraid that Floating Void City will have to deploy a lot of manpower to overcome this problem."

Hearing Fatty Lynch's words, Zhao Xu fell into deep confusion.

Why didn't anyone tell him that the target chosen by the body change needs to be deeply understood?

Before he transformed into Blazing God Attendant, he just glanced at the monster illustration book.

"Mr. Lynch, other than getting along with each other for a long time, are there any other ways to 'understand'?" Zhao Xu was confused.

Lynch was immersed in the content on the whiteboard at this time, and said impatiently: "The 100 questions in your hand, the eighty-seventh question, is to ask the transformation to understand what the 17th special case is, and which special cases cannot be copied."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu quickly opened the book in his hand until he reached the page the other party said.

"Profound Understanding Special Case Thirteen: By reading the monster illustrated book. The reading process is regarded as a link to achieve a deep understanding with the target creature, and the transformation into the target creature has a success rate of more than 90%."

At this moment, Zhao Xu recalled that Antinoya deliberately walked over to the bookshelf and chose the monster illustrated book that he handed him.

It's just that this 100-question book doesn't explain what the "Monster Illustrated Book" is.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had no choice but to continue to ask Lynch, "Mr. Lynch, do you know the "Monster Illustrated Book"?"

After hearing this, Lynch frowned, and then said, "You still fantasize about this thing?"

"It is said that this "Monster Illustrated Book" comes from a high-level artifact, and all creatures that appear in the world will be automatically recorded on it. Its creator is Ernest, the king of arcane magic, but with the mysterious disappearance of the other party, this "" The Monster Manual has also disappeared, and everyone speculates that it is hidden in Ernest's Vault."

Zhao Xu suddenly felt that the "Monster Illustrated Book" in his dormitory was really hot.

PS: I suddenly felt that I was not kind enough to replace 2k ten with 20,000 words, and I was pinched for a fraction.

Counting I owe you another chapter, I will update 4 chapters 3k tomorrow, which adds up to more than 13,000.

PS2: As for the monthly pass, I will observe it for a few more days. If I can keep up with the top ten new book monthly pass, I will explode the update list. Now this update is a basic operation, and it will not waste your monthly pass.
