The Truth of Magic

Chapter 143 Test Harvest (13)

On the top of the central tower of the real illusion, there are floating projections hanging on the wall made of red stone bricks, showing the real scene of the entire Forest of Lying Words.

The projection angles are various, as if there are pairs of eyes scattered in different positions in the void.

And if you look closely at those pictures, you will find that more than half of them are around the stone tablet that has exploded.

"Vice President, the voices you conjured just now are meaningless, right?" Lei An had already retreated to the second line when Zhao Xu and the others arrived at the fracture canyon, and did not intervene to manipulate the later scenes.

Therefore, after Lu (Wang Ningwei) and Ying (Aisweixi) were killed by the black light curse, the voice Zhao Xu heard was not from Leian.

"As outsiders, we can often observe others with a god-like mentality. But people in the game, especially in a situation where death will officially dissipate after a few seconds, receive spiritual torture but It will be even more difficult.”

Furious, the vice president of the Mage Association, looked at Zhao Xu in the projection and said that his expression had softened a lot since the beginning.

At this moment, Leian couldn't help thinking deeply.

He knew that Fury was not just to test whether Zhao Xu would save people.

In the spell of taking the stele, after Zhao Xu used up one chance to protect himself, the remaining two chances can save a person, and then use it to materialize the looming pontoon bridge, and then the two who survived pass through together .

Those who were not selected to be resurrected were naturally resurrected by Leian, but the other party also lost the opportunity to move on.

This test itself is screening each other and proving each other's abilities.

The strongest can choose the most valuable teammates. This is the cruel truth explained by the stone tablet.

Only Zhao Xu chose to refuse to move forward, and both spells were used to save people.

This choice has been made before, but it will definitely not move the vice president.

Leian knew there must be something deeper, and he hadn't been able to see it yet.

"So be it."

After the vice president Nuofeng finished speaking, he immediately teleported away. "

When Zhao Xu revealed that he was a level 3 sorcerer, Wang Ningwei and Ace Weixi looked at Zhao Xu in surprise.

In fact, even Zhao Xu himself didn't understand what happened.

He knew that on his character card panel, the character level had changed to level 3 at this moment.

That is to say, after he completes some of the remaining promotion conditions, he will be an authentic level 3 mage, a level 1 priest and a level 2 file scholar.

Just like when he met Mage Ryan at the bottom of the mine at that moment, he upgraded on the spot and directly possessed all the conditions to become a level 2 character.

"You mean, in this adventure just now, you were upgraded to level 3?" Eswig asked Zhao Xu with a certain consideration.

At this time, the air on the edge of the cliff still had a faint smell of decay, which was the aftereffect of the explosion of the death black light.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu could feel the upgraded power in his whole body, including his full potential points.

More importantly, from now on, he can learn second-ring spells.

The door to the new world of second-ring spells was finally opened to him.

"But speaking of it, why do you want to save us? Or, if you want to save, choose Lu, oh should I say Ningwei, isn't that enough? She is a good helper with a lot of money." Eswig asked jokingly.

From the beginning, Wang Ningwei just looked at the two with a smile on her face, and didn't say much.

It was enough for her that everyone could survive.

Even Zhao Xu's becoming a level 3 mage was a trivial matter.

After Zhao Xu heard Aswig's question, he was silent for a while and then said, "I didn't think too much about it, I just didn't want to watch life disappear in front of me."

"I reject this choice of sacrificing others," Zhao Xu explained.

He's not great, it's just that some things are really unnecessary.

He wants to climb to the top, he needs to resurrect times, and he will earn it by himself.

There is no need to pay the death of the two women here in exchange for one or two more resurrections.

"I owe you." Eswig said softly.

Suddenly, the originally blood-red sky began to change, like a dark red base cloth being splashed with bright paint, the sky was torn apart bit by bit.

The earth also shook accordingly, and the originally dry and cracked ground slowly filled the gaps.

Immediately afterwards, a glaring light fell from the sky, piercing all the tranquility of this deep space.

Zhao Xu was in a trance for a while, and opened his eyes again after the strong light passed.

In front of his eyes was a peaceful and peaceful small classroom, and outside the light-transmitting screen window was the peaceful and peaceful scene of the floating city.

The dappled sunlight fell on them, like newborns.

"Is the effect of this real illusion good?" Leian sat on a hand-carved chair with a backrest, and motioned for the three of them to sit down as well.

"Congratulations on temporarily passing this test." After the three of them sat down on the chairs in front of him, Leian smiled.

"Don't need to proceed to the next link?" Wang Ningwei asked.

And Zhao Xu and Ace Weixi also looked at Leian with the same expression.

The three of them knew that this test was actually just the beginning of the scene, and at the end of that blood moon, there must still be places they could explore.

"Actually, you went the wrong way." Leian explained embarrassingly.

"The name of this illusion is 'The Witch's Secret Chest'. It itself is a test illusion with a relatively long span, but the difficulty behind it is too high, and it is not suitable for you now. So the original intention of the test at the beginning was just to let you go back to eighth. You can find a secret door there, and the things inside are what I want you to find."

"The broken stele is the content of the later test. It's just that I didn't expect that you few new mages can actually pile up enough knowledge (mysterious) skill bonuses to decipher the contents of the stele. It is indeed worthy of being the best in the player group." .” Leian praised.

At this moment, he had noticed that Zhao Xu had become a level 3 character, and there was a hint of disbelief in his smile.

The three of them were at a loss. After exploring the possibility of teleportation at the beginning, they didn't look at it too much. Who would have expected this situation.

But if they can't get past the cliff, they will naturally look back to find clues, and the secret door will probably be found by then.

It's just that they piled up a full 19+ skill bonus, and directly typed out the follow-up plot.

"Then we don't need to test? What about rewards?" Eswig asked more realistically.

"There are still periodic rewards." Leian suddenly felt that he had encountered a more difficult opponent.

"As for the follow-up test, we have to wait until you have reached level 3. I guarantee that the items in the witch's secret chest will be very useful even if you are in the late stage."

"Actually, this real illusion has many test copies of this kind. Except for the ability that cannot be taken away, most of the other objects you find are real and usable. So being able to come to the eighth floor is a reward in itself. Oh."

"However, this dungeon has a progress lock, so the next time you all reach level 3, you have to come together to open it."

Leian explained with a sly smile.

"Hmph, finally admitted that those three mages are fake? Hehe, I won't come next time you invite me to such a gloomy scene." Eswig said firmly.

Wang Ningwei said, "I listen to Zhong Xia and Eswig."

Zhao Xu didn't expect Eswich to speak so righteously, but considering the other party's collectible personality, it's fine not to say it's really fragrant.

"I'm also very busy, so let's get to the point and teach you the ability to 'disguise spellcasting'." Leian hurriedly urged.

He only has a half-knowledge of the real story behind the Witch's Secret Chest. It's an illusion that is only open to low-level mages, and it's unknown whether anyone has ever cleared it.

Leian took advantage of this small classroom, which was not spacious, and began to explain the ins and outs of the 'disguised spellcasting' and the techniques to use it to Zhao Xu and the others.

It's just that when they heard the specific content, let alone Zhao Xu, even the two girls who had always been calm and breezy couldn't help frowning.

When mages confront each other head-on, the easiest way to obtain information is naturally the "magic recognition" ability.

Only by knowing the opponent's spells can one be able to deal with it calmly.

The prerequisite for spell recognition is to hear the opponent's spell and see the opponent's spell-casting action.

In this way, even if you don't know the spell cast by the other party, it is still possible to rely on the skill of "Spell Recognition" to obtain feedback from the origin of magic, so as to know what spell the other party is casting.

It's just that, to acquire the technical ability of "casting spells with concealment", several prerequisites need to be met.

Concentration 1, Spellcraft 1, Sleight of Hand 5.

The former two, Zhao Xu, had reached level 5 for a long time. Now that he became a level 3 character, he could raise the first two to level 6.

It's just the skill of the hand that makes Zhao Xu and even Aisweixi and Wang Ningwei suffer.

The easiest way to demonstrate the ability of dexterity is to hide a coin by relying on the flower work in the hand.

No matter how difficult it is, this is the ability to steal.

Most of the vagrants waiting to perform tricks on the street have one or two levels of kung fu skills.

And every rogue who aspires to become a master of theft will work hard to improve this skill.

Although the players and even the residents of Arthur despise theft, but in some extreme missions, having a rogue with advanced dexterity skills will indeed get twice the result with half the effort.

It's just that the skill of hand kung fu is not a professional skill of mages and archivists. Zhao Xu needs to spend a full 10 points in skill points to increase level 5.

This also shows that it will be a relatively long-term task to obtain the "disguised spellcasting" technique.

When Zhao Xu's hand skills reached level 5, he would probably be able to disguise his spellcasting movements as ordinary movements.

In this way, no one can see through him casting spells.

If he could still cover up the sound of the spell, then every time Zhao Xu cast a spell would become a surprise attack.

This is where the strategic value of the ability to "disguise spellcasting" lies.

And Leian didn't expect the three of them to show him a miracle on the spot and directly show such a hand.

Even if these three players with zero-level dexterity are gods, they still need to have 10 skill points to spare.

Only when Zhao Xu reached level 3 did he regain the upgraded skill point rewards - 3 points from intelligence adjustment and 1 point from humans.

At the same time, he can also get professional rewards, but this can only be obtained after he is officially promoted, among which the file scholar gets 4 points.

Under the bombardment of Lei An, the three of Zhao Xu forcibly memorized a series of tricks to "disguise spellcasting" and signed a contract to promise not to disclose all the contents of "True Illusion". Then they were driven away by Lei An.

Even when Zhao Xu asked him what to do if he forgot, Lei An just told him to go back and ask the two girls.

When the three of Zhao Xu came to the eighth floor, they staggered the time and went up by the alchemy elevator.

This time, the three of them went down together on the alchemy elevator.

After the adventure in the forest of deceitful words in the illusion, the three of them finally felt a little more like a partner.

"How does it feel to be the number one among the players?" Aswig asked after pressing the button on the first floor.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The box in the memory was opened at once, and countless information flickered through my mind.

Unknowingly, he crossed the first echelon and climbed directly to the top.

Among the players, the only ones with the highest levels are those level 2 fighters. It is said that they are approaching level 3, but they haven't reached it yet after all.

Even if there is a team organization that has deliberately invested a huge amount of resources, it has not been able to smash the person to level 3 and get the honorary title of the player's first term.

And on the forum, no one in all the Arthur discussion groups knew that there were still level 2 mages.

As for the level 3 mage, it is even more fantasy.

Once the news of Zhao Xu's becoming a level 3 sorcerer gets out, some sorcerer players who have been stuck for a long time may have the thought of smashing the windows of tc's house on the spot.

"I really can't see that you have such a temperament." Ai Siwei hoped that Zhao Xu, who was a little dazed, shook his head.

"What temperament?" Zhao Xu didn't react.

"The temperament of a king." Eswig said, usually this kind of first person is very domineering.

Zhao Xu shook his head with a smile. He didn't expect that the smart and steady Eswig had the mentality of a child.

The real king in the future will be the one next to him.

When everyone gets the real attributes and those real abilities a year later, that is the beginning of the real difference.

Only then did Zhao Xu truly become a highly intelligent mage.

"No, Mr. Zhong Xia is still very reliable." Wang Ningwei covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "You are also very reliable, Eswig."

At this time, the alchemy elevator finally slowly reached the first floor, and the steel gate was slowly opened, and the sunshine of hope fell on the young faces of the three of them again.

Zhao Xu looked at the tallest obelisk in front of him.

Second level spell, here he comes.
