The Truth of Magic

Chapter 190: Treasures from the Chest of Drawers (13)

The extremely thick stone gate slowly rose upwards, and at the same time, the groove where Zhao Xu placed the holy emblem bounced out by itself under the action of the mechanism, and Zhao Xu also reached out to catch it.

As the dull and unpleasant air gushed out from the door, Zhao Xu was holding the "Fireball Eternal Magic Wand" tightly, ready to release the spell if something went wrong.

In the end, the stone gate was completely raised, and there was no dull mechanical dragging sound during the whole process, it was just a soft buzzing, as if it was manipulated by magic.

Only then did Zhao Xu realize that there was a banquet hall in front of him. A lacquered wood dining table with 24 seats was placed in the middle, occupying nearly half of the space.

A four-meter-long carpet was hung on the wall of the hall. It was covered with spider silk, and the color of the carpet was already dull and dull, making it difficult to distinguish.

While searching for his religious knowledge and skills, Zhao Xu recalled the portraits on the carpet in front of him.

At this time, the heavy stone gate began to fall slowly, and finally reached the point where it was close to the ground.

The need to use the holy emblem to open the door means that this area is the living area of ​​the priests of the god of death?

At this moment, Zhao Xu recognized that the one hanging on the tapestry was the last god of death, Naluo.

After the war of gods, the god of death was in a half-fallen state, which has a history of at least a thousand years.

In the beginning, the remaining power of the godhead still bestowed magical spells on priests according to its instinct, but it could no longer actively respond, and at the same time, the kingdom of God was also broken and withered.

On the other hand, the priests of the god of death, relying on the remaining power of the godhead, barely survived for hundreds of years, trying to resurrect their gods during this period.

It wasn't until the gods successfully penetrated the defensive power of the godhead of death and successfully divided up the priesthood of death that the priests lost their last magic spells and became no different from ordinary people.

The gods and their priests have always been both prosperous and both lost.

The death of the last pastor of the god of death also means that the church of Naraku, the god of death, officially declared its demise in Arthur.

No one can imagine that the Grim Reaper will die one day.

Zhao Xu had begun to understand at this moment that the altar that might exist was not the altar of the devil, but the altar of the god of death.

This is the Temple of Naraku!

It is a hidden stronghold of one of his followers.

In this way, the devil is just occupying the nest of doves.

Zhao Xu stepped forward at this time and saw that there were still gold-plated candlesticks and porcelain plates on the dining table. Although the color was gone, they could still be exchanged for some coins when they were taken out to the experts.

But Zhao Xu didn't want to do that. He went straight to the drawer behind the main table, and there was also a layer of white silk cobwebs on it, which was not to the extent that ordinary spiders that are common at home could grow.

Zhao Xu began to open the first drawer one by one.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

There was a scroll case that was too tattered and out of shape in the drawer, but Zhao Xu had already seen that there were scrolls hidden in the case.

After such a long adventure, Zhao Xu, who was able to pick up the scroll for the first time, took out the scroll and read it, regardless of the spider silk on it.

The scroll hidden in the drawer is made of high-grade leather paper, and the two ends are fixed and protected with willow strips.

Generally, if the scroll only transcribes one spell, the size is about a piece of A4 paper. And the scroll in front of him was nearly half a meter long, which meant that almost three spells were transcribed on it.

There are some signs of aging at the corners of the scroll, but the center is still as bright as new. With the blessing of magic power, this kind of leather paper without any hardness survived better than the surrounding sturdy furniture.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia made a "Spell Recognition" check on the "Mysterious Scroll", and the check failed. 】

Suddenly, the prompt on Zhao Xu's dynamic panel stunned him.

His spell recognition skills have reached the upper limit of level 6, and with +3 intelligence, his recognition skills have reached a full level 9.

Even if the difficulty of identifying scrolls is getting higher and higher as the number of spell rings increases.

On the other hand, Zhao Xu had a 50% probability of identifying ordinary first-level scrolls simply by relying on spell identification.

So he couldn't help but feel a little surprise in his heart.

This is a real treasure!

Zhao Xu directly used the zero-level spell "Reading Magic", which allowed him to understand the meaning of the scroll.

In an instant, the processed arcane text on the original scroll slowly became clear as if it had been deformed and reorganized in his mind.

The third-level magic spell casts a curse!

Level 3 magical manipulation of dead bodies!

Sixth-level divine art serious injury!

Immediately, Zhao Xu read the details of the three spells on the scroll at once. They are all core divine arts, not the kind of particularly unpopular and powerful divine arts.

Manipulating dead bodies is a spell to create undead creatures, similar to how the four people turned into zombies after being killed by evil creatures from other worlds last night.

Casting the Curse is a curse spell that caused Maple Leaf to lose 6 attributes after being attacked by a trap. General attribute damage can be recovered slowly, but the curse must be removed by magic, otherwise it will not be recovered for a lifetime.

Before the early players have access to the third-level spells, and if they don’t have enough gold coins to ask the caster to cast the spell, they can basically log out of the account and play again when encountering this spell.

As for the serious injury technique, it is the opposite divine technique corresponding to the healing technique.

The healing spell system in the divine art is very clear, the first ring is for treating minor injuries, the second ring is for moderate injuries, the third ring is for serious injuries, the fourth ring is for fatal injuries, and up to the top six rings of healing.

Good priests can switch and cast these healing spells at will.

However, the six-ring magical spell of serious injury is the opposite of healing. It can cause 10 points of damage per caster level, with a maximum limit of 150 points.

The scroll in Zhao Xu's hand had a caster level of level 15, indicating that the other party might be an eight-ringed priest.

It's just that he feels that this group of priests in Naluo are somewhat brainless. They can convert the six-ring spell into a serious injury spell at will, and it doesn't make much sense to prepare the scroll specially.

Especially this spell is rather tasteless, it can't kill people with one shot.

Being wounded but not dead is the characteristic of this spell, because it is not called a lethal spell.

Even if the serious injury technique is used on a civilian with 4 HP, the opponent will only drop to the point of 1 HP and cannot be killed.

But since he didn't have to spend money to buy it, Zhao Xu happily rolled up the scroll and put it in the scroll case of his backpack.

It was also the first time that Zhao Xu had harvested a magic item by himself. Before he went on an adventure, he asked Roja to take the magic item converted from the adventure harvest to the local Magic Association, and he would be able to give it to him in the future.

Who knew that the other party was wiped out later, and the magic items were naturally gone. It was Antinoya who compensated him with the automatic shorthand quill.

Now Zhao Xu was very relieved. In the scrolls, at least 1600 gold coins were used for serious injuries, 375 gold coins for casting spells, and 625 gold coins for manipulating dead bodies scrolls because they included spell materials.

I have to say, compared to the 25 gold coins for a first-level spell, the price of scrolls in the later period is like snowballing. Even if you successfully kill the opponent, you can't help but feel heartache.

Especially the monsters whose targets are "ghosts" and "elemental creatures" that disappear when you hit them, and don't even leave their corpses to you, are even more spurned by the majority of Arthur adventurers.

At this time, Zhao Xu also continued to open the second drawer.

He already knew that this small underground temple in Naluo had never been looted, otherwise the scrolls worth two to three thousand gold coins would not have been placed in a grandiose manner.

This may also mean that there are treasures in the entire three rows of fifteen chests.

Even in the rooms after this, there may be hidden the last treasures of these priests who tried to resurrect the gods.

This is also the reason why adventurers like to go to the dungeon, which means wealth.

While Zhao Xu was thinking about today's harvest, he just opened the second drawer. Suddenly, a spider that was so big that it took up the entire space of the drawer jumped up and bit Zhao Xu violently.

Even though Zhao Xu hadn't seen this acquaintance for a long time, he couldn't help being startled, and immediately made an instinctive dodge.

Zhao Xu, who was only reacting later, didn't use the "secondary swift burst" to launch the teleportation with the teleportation boots under his feet, and it was impossible to dodge it.

Suddenly, the spider, which was almost the size of a tablet computer, opened its sharp teeth and bit Zhao Xu.

However, the "star cloak" on Zhao Xu's body suddenly shone like stars in the night sky, and a light burst directly at the place where the spider's mouth was, and immediately bounced the spider far away.

The spider, who was so shocked by this shock, didn't dare to continue fighting, and hurriedly sneaked into another passage along the door and disappeared.

Only then did Zhao Xu shake the dust off his body. Even though the spider had a sharp jaw, it didn't bite the cloak.

Zhao Xu was different from the two women. He dared not enter with the "Mage Armor". Just because of the immune effect of the cloak he was wearing, he was already invincible against these low-level ordinary animals and insects.

At this time, Zhao Xu also recalled the memory of his previous life and recognized the name and species of the spider.

Tiny mutant spiders with darkvision and tremorsense, and their bite attacks are venomous, taking 1 point of Strength damage if the save is missed.

Although the other party is bigger than the washbasin, this kind of body shape between 30 centimeters and 60 centimeters is defined as ultra-small in Arthur, and there are miniatures below.

Zhao Xu met a super giant mutant spider in his previous life, and was trapped by a spider web. It was just that the super giant mutant spider was hunting other prey at that time, which made them survive.

If the ultra-small mutant spider with an average of about 4 HP can continue to evolve, it will have to surpass small, medium, large, super-large, and giant before reaching the sixth stage. It is the "ultra-giant mutant spider" Zhao Xu has seen in his previous life. At that time, the body was more than 20 meters long.

After being safe from danger, Zhao Xu heaved a sigh of relief and continued to search the remaining drawers. This time, he was more cautious and pointed the light crossbow at the mouth of the drawer with one hand.

Once something goes wrong, he will pull the trigger, and if he encounters a mutant spider, he will also be shot and killed by an arrow.

Until the third drawer was opened, Zhao Xu, who was used to seeing big scenes, finally couldn't help taking a deep breath for the first time today.

3 chapters tonight, the time will be late
