The Truth of Magic

Chapter 172 Powerful Ring (33)

The next day, Zhao Xu returned to the ground of Mystra through the portal of the floating city.

This is also the first time he has set foot on this land again after many days.

For the novice mages in the floating city, they often have to go back and forth between Mystra and the floating city through the portal in order to do tasks.

Because of the tight rhythm in the floating city, Zhao Xu was basically arranged by Antinoya, so he felt completely different from those idle player mages in the floating city.

Although Antinoya had told Zhao Xu yesterday that the "time regression amulet" was indeed not a magic weapon, even though it was difficult to make, it was still within the scope of strange things.

Only those that can make all planes go back a round of time can be classified as artifacts.

However, Zhao Xu was still very cautious at the moment, and honestly pressed the talisman tightly to his chest.

This thing can be regarded as a fetish involving rules. With it, Zhao Xu didn't have to worry about something unexpected happening to Wang Ningwei's two daughters, which would end the mission.

That's why Antinoya wanted to lend him the talisman.

And the "organ man goggles" that Zhao Xu got just yesterday were pinned on his eyes, so that he looked like a mechanical watch craftsman.

According to Antinoya's instructions, Zhao Xu was going to a "Dream of the North Wind" magic item shop, where he had another magic item.

But just after Zhao Xu came out of the Arcane Gate, he stood on Central Avenue, looking at the crowd in front of him, and fell into confusion for a moment.

Zhao Xu found out that he didn't really know Mistra's way anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu took out the booklet from the beginning directly from his backpack.

Howard's convenience bag relied on the full 225 liters, which was equivalent to 10 barrels of water, and it was basically enough to hold whatever Zhao Xu wanted.

At this moment, Zhao Xu lowered his head and looked at the location of "Dream of the North Wind" on the complicated map.

As the capital of magic, what Mystra lacks most is shops selling all kinds of magic materials, and even many mages will come to the various alleys of the central street to find the magical items they want.

Even if it is a legendary item, it is said that someone has bought it in these unremarkable alleys.

After Zhao Xu looked at it for a few minutes, he roughly found the target, the only thing was that it was a little out of the way.

But Zhao Xu didn't think too much about it. He had experienced the search for the fortune teller before and the death of the other party.

Now that he encounters any unexpected situation, with stronger equipment, he really has nothing to fear.

"Zhong Xia." Suddenly there was an exclamation.

Zhao Xu looked back in surprise, only to see Youyou sitting on a carriage whizzing by, poking his head out and waving at him.

It's just that the carriage was moving forward rapidly, and Yoyo couldn't get out of the carriage, so she could only silently look away from Zhao Xu who was about to walk into the alley.

Zhao Xu looked at Yoyo, and the memories of the past floated in his heart, and he waved towards him, until Yoyo's carriage disappeared from sight.

Zhao Xu was relieved to think that Yoyo had finally come to the base town of the goddess of magic, which meant that Yoyo could continue her previous path as a priest.

He was also worried that after the experience of being massacred, Yoyo and the others would abandon the tour in anger.

Since even Yoyo is insisting, it goes without saying for other people.

After Zhao Xu walked through three or four alleys, he walked to a very remote corner.

Although in general legends, the kind of shops that hide many powerful magic items are usually hidden in unknown corners. It was the magic item store in front of me, the paint surface of the wooden signboard in the corner was almost peeled off.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a bad business.

Zhao Xu touched the weapon pinned to his body, checked the spell slots in his mind at the same time, and walked in calmly.

Unlike the dilapidated storefront outside, the shelves in the magic item shop "Dream of the North Wind" were honestly filled with various spell materials.

There are small ore balls used to release mage killers such as "mentally retarded", crystal marbles used to cast "peeping eyes", and even iron powder used to cast "human shrinking spells".

If Zhao Xu hadn't learned all kinds of first and second level spells, and used most of the spells, he might not have been able to recall a spell when he saw a piece of material.

Standing on the counter was an obese middle-aged woman, who was wrapped in a heavy kerchief, glanced at Zhao Xu, then continued to work on the accounts in her hand, and asked, "Who introduced you?"

"An Tinoya." Zhao Xu said simply.

Suddenly, the fat woman in the purple silk dress with a calm expression raised her head and stared deeply at Zhao Xu, "Since it was introduced by the other party, can you tell me your name?"

"Zhong Xia, a level 3 mage," Zhao Xu said.

"Well, that's you, here are your things." At this time, the fat woman directly took out a package of things from under the counter, untied it, and dumped the contents of the package on the counter.

It was a stack of parchment and a very ordinary silver ring.

Zhao Xu walked over and gently picked up the silver ring in his hand.

"What is this?" Zhao Xu asked.

Being able to use the "detect magic" spell slot, he can save as much as he can.

The fat woman glanced at Zhao Xu's "organ man goggles" and explained angrily, "Invisibility ring. You can enter the invisible state after you activate it, and this has improved performance."

Zhao Xu immediately picked up the ring to look at it, and then put it directly on his finger.

He really didn't have the courage to die for the ring he picked up on the road, but the person in front of him, if Antinoya arranged something for him, it was naturally considered reliable.

Everyone can equip two rings, but no more than that.

After Zhao Xu put on the ring at this time, he rubbed the surface of the ring lightly and gave the command to start it.

Immediately, his whole body, including the objects, slowly faded away, and the light directly passed through his body and hit the ground.

Until the end, Zhao Xu's entire body disappeared, as if he had never existed.

At this moment, Zhao Xu raised his transparent hands to observe the effect of the spell.

Although he has demonstrated this spell in the final scroll space and the pulpit before. But he still feels miraculous about this spell.

Even in the future era when the earth's technology is changing with each passing day, this invisible effect technology has not yet been maturely applied.

"This ring is the latest product of Floating Void City." At this moment, the fat middle-aged woman said.

"The invisibility ring produced by the mage in the past, because the caster level is only level 3, so each activation can only last for 3 minutes."

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this. The duration of the "invisibility" spell was exactly 1 minute per casting level. He is now a level 6 caster and can last for 6 minutes.

At this time, the fat woman continued to say: "Although the previous ring can be activated countless times a day, but every 3 minutes, you have to put down the work at hand and restart it again. The user feedback is not good. So now we have launched this new type of ring." Invisibility ring', which activates once to remain invisible until you cancel the effect."

Zhao Xu was not surprised when he heard this.

This new "invisible ring" does not need to be restarted every 3 minutes since then, which is indeed the last huge improvement. At least in this way he has enough protection in his sleep.

When he followed the 20 player mages, he didn't have to keep thinking about activating the ring.

It seems that this is also the reason why Antinoya wanted to come here to receive the ring.

The only disadvantage of the second-level spell "Invisibility" is that once it tries to attack the enemy, it will appear.

Only the fourth-level spell "Advanced Invisibility" can maintain invisibility while attacking.

However, invisibility is an "illusion" effect, so it itself will be restrained by various true seeing effects.

This is also the embarrassment of the "invisible ring". Its expensive price of 20,000 gold coins, when adventurers can afford it, most of the monsters they encounter will have the ability of true knowledge.

Even invisibility itself is not a very reliable ability. Advanced adventurers such as rangers can see through the direction, but it's just not easy to locate.

This spell is only visually invisible, and some footprints on the mud and the sound of walking cannot be covered up.

However, none of this can conceal its function as a low-level killer.

With this ring that could be activated indefinitely, even if Zhao Xu didn't use the Fireball Eternal Magic Wand, it would be enough to kill the 20 novice mages one by one in the jungle.

"Okay, let's go if you have nothing to do, don't delay my business, those people's next departure route and the robber's information are all on this stack of parchment, you can take a look at it yourself." The fat woman in the shop whispered Said, continue to flip through his account book to calculate.

Zhao Xu didn't take it seriously. After canceling the invisibility effect, he walked out the door, and then looked down at the parchment in his hand. "

"Don't look, that kid will definitely not be with us again." Eswig whispered to Wang Ningwei next to him.

"No, I'm just observing the companions around me." Wang Ningwei smiled at Eswig.

At this time, a male mage also came over, and he asked courteously, "Ningwei, have you worked hard, why don't I rent a horse for you later?"

As for Eswig, he stared at the man in front of him like he was looking at a fly, and said first, "No, we have the 'summon mount' spell, and we think there is no use for the spell slot."

At this moment, the man could only show an embarrassed smile. Although they were all born in the Floating Void City, the spells they all learned were very limited.

Seeing that Wang Ningwei was not as kind as before, the man walked back to the corner with his head down, and was greeted by the smiles of the people around him. Seeing this scene, the man also looked at Eswig angrily.

Ever since Wang Ningwei got to know Aisweixi a few days ago, the two of them have been together all day long, and even their online and offline times are synchronized.

This group of fans who had been pestering Wang Ningwei before couldn't get any closer.

Suddenly, another male mage "Luo Lei" came over with a resolute look on his face, "Ningwei, what do you think about this mission?"

Wang Ningwei showed a trace of confusion, "Which aspect are you referring to, Luo Lei?"

Eswig said unhappily: "He is asking you if you have any hints for him. Let me put it this way, this time is to kill the robbers on the surface, but it is the selection of the floating city in the dark, and there is even a follow-up. I I can guarantee that Floating Void City will definitely send someone to watch us."

After that, Eswig scanned the entire station with her sharp eyes, "Maybe she is hiding here, looking at us with a wicked smile."

Standing in the corner, Zhao Xu, who was completely invisible, was flipping through the "Teleportation Ritual: The Journey of Hrothgar" borrowed from the library of legends, and couldn't help but feel a shudder when he heard this.

This girl is too sharp.
