The Truth of Magic

Chapter 150 Knowledge Mastery (23)

For the next few days, Zhao Xu did not leave the space of the final scroll. He impatiently summoned those spell books one by one to absorb energy, and then released the spell again.

Especially for some spells, casting them requires a high price.

Some mages may not be able to release several times in their lifetime after finishing their studies.

But it's not a problem for Zhao Xu.

In the space of the final scroll, he is equivalent to an infinite spell slot, and there is no cost to cast any spell.

Even some spells that required a minute or even an hour to chant spells, Zhao Xu could release them with just a thought.

But after releasing the spell, the real feedback from casting the spell was not fake.

He is equivalent to gaining spellcasting experience without discount.

All the way back, when Antinoya returned to the scroll space and saw Zhao Xu, she didn't recognize Zhao Xu at all.

According to her, for the first time, Zhao Xu restrained himself a bit like a mage.

He has the inexplicable and indescribable background, or self-confidence, of a mage.

After leaving the final scroll space, Zhao Xu successfully consolidated his level 3 characters without expending too much energy, and officially promoted to level 3 mage and level 2 file scholar.

At the same time, he followed Antinoya's instructions and began to attend more academic lectures, trying to awaken the file scholar's level 2 professional ability "Knowledge Mastery" as soon as possible.

When Zhao Xu acquired this ability, he could get a +2 unknown bonus to his document interpretation skills and knowledge (mysterious) skills.

The unnamed bonus is a bonus that can be superimposed at will. If Zhao Xu's knowledge (mystery) skill has a hundred + 2 unnamed bonus abilities, then he can completely stack the knowledge (mystery) skill bonus to 200+.

So even if this added value was better than nothing, Zhao Xu still didn't dare to relax, and devoted a lot of his usual time to lectures on knowledge (mystery).

After Zhao Xu took the lecture tickets delivered every day this time, he quietly found a corner and sat down, quietly listening to the lecturer on the stage explaining the mysterious knowledge.

Generally speaking, most low-level mages will choose to go to the knowledge library to read occult books when they improve their knowledge (mystery) skills.

This method is the stupidest but also the most stable, and it is also the most conducive to improving the knowledge (mystery) skill level.

But when Zhao Xu raised the knowledge (mystery) to the upper limit of level 6 in the knowledge library, he still didn't get the "knowledge mastery" ability of the dossier.

So he also expects these lectures to trigger him.

"Who can see what this symbol means?" Morris, a lecturer on the stage, asked, wearing a maverick light white robe.

Morris, who was already a level 5 mage in his early thirties, could barely be considered a minor achievement even in a place like Floating Void City where high-level mages gather.

Although he is limited by the character level knowledge (mysterious) skill and can only be upgraded to level 8, that only affects his success rate of connecting to the source of knowledge.

Morris has been immersed in various occult books since he was six years old, and this kind of background quality makes him quite appreciated by the middle and high level.

After hearing Morris' question, more than thirty novice mages and mage apprentices in the small auditorium were silent, obviously trapped by this question.

Although Morris is famous, coming to his lectures will not bring the number of assistants staying in Floating Void City, so his lecture tickets will not be particularly popular.

Therefore, when Morris generally holds lectures to share his recent research experience, he will not borrow too large a venue. Generally, a small forum for 50 people is enough.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also looked at the mark Morris drew on the whiteboard. Instead of trying to retrieve it with knowledge (mysterious) skills, he thought about it first.

He could feel that Morris's knowledge of mysticism was very solid.

Even if Morris upgrades in the future, he doesn't need to study it specially. The knowledge (mystery) level will automatically consume skill points to upgrade the moment his character upgrades.

This is also the natural model that everyone admires the most.

According to Zhao Xu's guess, both Aisweixi and Wang Ningwei had this quality.

As for Zhao Xu, he could only be lucky and come first.

Morris saw that no one answered, so he smiled wryly and shook his head, then continued to explain the source of the entire symbol.

"This secret contract symbol itself is actually related to cryptography. Later, Master Ai Qi introduced it into the high-level mystical symbol system, and it was gradually widely used by mage groups. Generally speaking, as long as you study document interpretation and mysticism None of the mages will miss this symbol." Morris explained slowly.

Zhao Xu's eyes slowly lit up as he looked at the mystical secret deed symbol with the thirteen transformation patterns.

Suddenly, a female assistant from the logistics side of the pulpit ran in and whispered something to Morris.

After hearing what the other party said, Morris's expression changed a little, and then he showed a look of joy.

He hurried to the whiteboard, wrote an encrypted evolution formula about the secret contract symbol on it, and said, "I suddenly have something to deal with, and I will be back in a while. Everyone, let's do the math first."

But when he was about to walk out of the podium, he stopped again and looked at everyone with a smile: "Of course, if someone can do it, then he doesn't need to listen to the lecture tonight, he can leave first."

Then Morris stuffed the note with the answer to the female assistant and left first.

After the sound of Morris' footsteps gradually moved away, many mage apprentices who just came here to stamp their qualifications couldn't help complaining.

Just looking at the female assistant standing at the door of the pulpit to monitor everyone, the mage's voice was still lowered.

No one is afraid of a female assistant, but no one dares to easily offend a level 5 mage.

In order to urge mage apprentices to accept different aspects of education, Floating Void City requires mage apprentices to provide enough stamped lecture tickets every week.

Many master apprentices came to listen to Morris' lectures. One of the reasons was that it was very likely that Morris would stamp the lecture tickets.

At this moment, Zhao Xu glanced at the question, and immediately got up to pack his things and prepare to go back. He already had some clues about his "knowledge mastery" ability, and planned to discuss it with Antinoya.

But when Zhao Xu walked to the door, the female assistant who obeyed Morris's order reached out to stop him, "This student, Master Morris hasn't come back yet, please wait a moment."

For them, the orders of level 5 mages should be strictly enforced.

Zhao Xu originally wanted to say that he didn't need to stamp the lecture ticket, but he just looked at the appearance of the female assistant, with the attitude of a kid who is completely difficult to deal with.

He didn't say much, and went directly to the whiteboard and picked up the pen.

The mage apprentices in the audience originally thought that Zhao Xu was going to write the answer directly, but Zhao Xu froze and fell into deep thought, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

I have never heard of slaps in the face and you have to crouch.

Just slowly, the laughter disappeared.

Zhao Xu didn't even have the calculation process, so he wrote the final answer directly.

The female assistant who was holding a note and comparing the answers on the whiteboard was stunned.

Professor Morris gave her this note to save someone from fooling her with the wrong answer, and did not expect anyone to make it.

When Zhao Xu walked to Antinoya's office on the seventh floor of the obelisk, he was also a little dazed.

Because the moment he made that question, his dynamic panel displayed a message——

[Adventurer Midsummer Awakens "Knowledge Mastery" ability, knowledge (mysterious), document interpretation skills get +2 bonus]

These days, Zhao Xu faintly felt that his mind was more flexible.

It's just that he also knows that it will take ten and a half months for his intelligence to be credited, so this improvement in clearer thinking makes him somewhat confused.

After Zhao Xu opened the door, he saw Antinoya standing there staring at the bone armor.

At this time, Antinoya turned around and saw Zhao Xu, and said with a hint of indescribability: "It seems that you have already acquired that ability, so you don't need to go to the lecture?"

Zhao Xu temporarily suppressed his inner doubts, nodded and said yes.

And Antinoya came over and handed him a letter.

Zhao Xu took it over and took a look, feeling a little unbelievable.

"A lecture on occult knowledge?" Zhao Xu asked.

If it's just an ordinary lecture, it's fine.

It's just that the name of the lecturer at the bottom of this lecture was crossed out, and the name "Zhong Xia" was rewritten on it.

When is he qualified to give lectures to others?

"Sometimes it's like this. Listening to others may not understand it, but explaining it to others will trigger it. Although I didn't expect you to awaken this ability now, but the lecture has been arranged, so you have to go too .”

Antinoya smiled lightly.

"The time for the lecture is tonight. Don't miss the time. Anyway, you are only a level 1 mage if you die. You must be able to hold the scene."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he didn't immediately doubt himself.

In fact, he himself has a level 6 knowledge (mystery) skill level, reaching the upper limit of a level 3 character, because the skill level can only be 3 levels higher than the character level.

But even if many sorcerers at level 6 or 7 did not have enough mystic knowledge, they might not be as high as Zhao Xu's level of knowledge (mystery).

"Knowledge" is much more ethereal than a one-shot spell.

Knowledge, intelligence, and spells are the three pillars that support a mage's strength, but helplessly, sometimes the pillar of spells is too strong, even covering up the brilliance of the other two.

"Then what is the theme of my occult knowledge lecture?"

Even though he was facing a player in the game or a native of Arthur, Zhao Xu still did not dare to take this lecture lightly, and immediately prepared to start preparing for the lesson.

"Don't worry, the lecturer who was originally arranged for the lecture was injured during the spell research, so you need to replace him. The materials prepared by the other party are on the table, you can go and see."

Antinoya continued to look at the armor and said.

Zhao Xu walked over to Antinoya's usual desk. There was indeed a much thicker document on it. He picked it up and took a look - on the diversity of first-level spells.

Level 1 spell?

To put it bluntly--

Zhao Xu may not have all the first-level spells mastered by the nine-ring mage in the floating city.

It turned out that this was the reason why Antinoya asked him to replace this lecture.

The third chapter has to be written until 1 o'clock, don't wait. Starting tomorrow, it is agreed that the first update will be at 6 o'clock, the second update will be at 9 o'clock, and the third update will be at 12 o'clock. If I go overtime again in the future, I will apologize even more. I am really sorry today.
