The Truth of Magic

Chapter 208: Land of Divine Punishment (13)

Since Zhao Xu boarded Mystra's legendary library, he basically spent the night there.

In the hotel room, according to the method taught by Lingluduo in the library, he took holy water and sprinkled six drops on the four corners of the bed in the form of an evening ceremony.

Then he took out a custom-made bedding from his backpack, and the front and back of the bedding were covered with ritual circles with pen and ink.

Then Zhao Xu put a piece of mint-flavored candy in his mouth, put three borrowed magic books on his head, smelled the faint fragrance of paper and ink from the small incense burner at the foot of the bed, and lay on the bed slowly. Slowly fell asleep.

When Zhao Xu woke up, he had already completed the ceremony, and his soul drifted into the "Legend Library" in Floating Void City.

The "holy water" consumed in this ceremony was very little, mainly the specially made mint lozenges, which could stimulate the spirit in his brain. Zhao Xu only had dozens of tablets in his hand, and each piece was equivalent to a piece of soul teleportation to "" Tickets for the Library of Legends.

As for the reusable ritual circle on the bedding, every seven or eight times, he had to reinfuse his own spirituality and then copy it with special materials himself.

So every time Zhao Xu arrived at the legendary library, it was a costly thing.

Only in the future after he has a high-level spell, can he reach here with one spell.

When Zhao Xu came to the library recently, Lu Duo, who looked like a little girl, kept stepping on the bench, taking down the magic books one by one and wiping them clean. Things that could be solved with a single spell, she hummed and did it well. Have fun.

"You seem very happy?" Lu Duo was holding a copy of "Dragon War" and was about to stuff it back when she saw Zhao Xu's expression and couldn't help asking.

"No." Zhao Xu calmly walked to a bookshelf that he hadn't read before.

"It's just when I realize that the seed I planted unintentionally will one day bloom, so naturally I look forward to it growing stronger."

When Zhao Xu posted the first post on the forum, he never thought that he would post the second one.

In his thinking, he tends to allow players to exchange resurrection stones for experience.

It is better to die once than say it a thousand times.

This was Arthur's hardest truth. In fact, Zhao Xu's post was at best to educate some smart people, and most of the rest would not fall into any pitfalls that should be stepped on.

It's just that he didn't expect that with just a few posts, he would become Cui Lu's worship object.

Zhao Xu knew that most of the other people's worship before was because of his own intentions, and more because he wanted to deal with him to get more information.

So he didn't agree to any of the whole row of studio applications in the friend application.

But Cui Lu is someone who he can count as knowing the bottom line, and the other party is not the kind of green tea who deliberately takes advantage of others and clings to them.

This also meant that she simply admired the few posts Zhao Xu shared.

This made Zhao Xu feel relieved that his efforts were not wasted.

After all, these days, there are really too many people who have eaten everything and wiped it out, but still want to beat them up.

Zhao Xu, who had dealt with several cases of family property division in his previous life, knew even more about it.

And more importantly, he needs a channel to influence Cui Lu.

Only in this way can Cui Lu be able to play a role in the "Falling Star Lake" battle that will break out in the next week and shorten the accumulation time.

Incidentally, Zhang Qi was pulled out of the whirlpool of death.

"Hey, Zhong Xia, why don't you continue reading that "Transmission Ritual"?"

Lu Duo couldn't help but become curious when she saw that the classic in Zhao Xu's hand was actually stuffed back on the shelf. It stands to reason that the other party couldn't finish reading that magic classic in four or five days.

This is also the realization deadline she set for the other party.

Zhao Xu was able to take out the books in the "Legendary Library" in Arthur's main material plane.

It was by pleasing Lu Duo that he obtained the authority to realize the magic tome from the other party, allowing him to read it in Arthur's world.

Basically, after his soul returns to his original state and wakes up, the classics he chose to borrow will appear by his side, and will disappear automatically once they expire.

According to Lu Duo's request, Zhao Xu could borrow up to three books at a time. If they were not due, he would have to sleep with those books on his pillow during the ceremony, bring them back and return them, and destroy them once.

So Lu Duo was very curious that Zhao Xu gave up all three classics at once.

One of the classics about high-level devils was obviously borrowed by the other party last night.

Her gaze followed Zhao Xu's figure to a bookshelf, and finally landed on the classic that Zhao Xu reached out for.

She was immediately annoyed and said, "Hey, Zhong Xia, you're cheating, you didn't come here to look up the answers before the test."

"A matter between scholars, how can it be called cheating."

Zhao Xu perfunctorily ignored Lu Duo's questioning, and took down the ancient book "Detailed Description of Arthur's Hundred Great Affiliated Half-Plane Secret Realms", which was as thick as two fists wide.

After these few days of getting along, he has clearly seen that the short Luduo is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person, and he will not really take him seriously.

The core class of mages in the floating city, that is, those "mentors" who serve as researchers and teaching positions, are mostly eager to line up smoothly to the half-plane secret realm of "scavenging beast pit".

The specialty of free delivery is definitely a good deal for Arthur.

Even with the professional ability of a mage, you can only get 4 super magic feats at level 20. It is too long to get one every 5th level.

It's just that when they have accumulated enough meritorious service to be ranked, they will find that the only information about the target is the simple name "Scavenging Beast Hole".

Even, this may not be the correct reference.

This demiplane can let in and challenge successful people, and it is crazy enough to be rewarded with the "Iron Will" feat.

It also made it a secret from then on, and all news was blocked by the Floating Void City.

Since then, it has not fallen into words, and even the memory in my mind is slowly fading away.

Zhao Xu was reading the "Detailed Description of the Half-Plane Secret Realm" in his hand at the moment, and felt emotional when he saw this secret.

No wonder he had never heard of such a magical existence in his previous life.

Because the secret itself is affected by magic, trying to erase it from the minds of humans.

It's not that the half-plane is worth so much or that there are any secret treasures hidden, but that it has a characteristic - nothing more than five things.

As long as more than five people enter, the demiplane itself will be disturbed and lose its power for a year or so.

In order to prevent mages from hearing its legends, they would teleport or enter through other channels at every turn, causing the secret realm to fail.

So Mystra simply started from the source, relying on the power of legendary spells to slowly cover up the truth of the existence of this demiplane.

In the end, I also know that the forces that exist in this demiplane will also get a quota to enter every year.

Seeing the reminder that this matter was only five, Zhao Xu also understood why only three people were allowed to enter at a time, and the remaining one was naturally reserved for the staff who went in to rescue.

The interior of this demiplane is almost out of the grasp of the Floating Void City.

The kind that kills.

In other words, if the Floating Void City dares to intervene, the participants will naturally not be able to get the real trial, so they will not be able to awaken their real expertise.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

After Lux came out of the temple, she began to fall into a deep sleep state, and she would have to wait for a week before recovering from the overdraft in the battle with the "deep hell demon".

He will be unable to borrow his strength for a while.

He also continued to squat, flipping through the details about the demiplane.

This is also the reason why Lu Duo just accused him of sneaking away early.

Under the premise that no one could get the inside story of that half-plane, Zhao Xu opened the authority to read the information in the "Legend Library".

But Zhao Xu also had too many things to do. Next, he had to find the "third notebook", pay attention to the "Falling Star Lake War", and search for the relics brought back by Andy's ancestors.

As a bronze-level time manager, he had no choice but to compress the adventure time of the "scavenging beast pit".

But even so, he is much more comfortable than those novice mages. Most novice mages are still interpreting and copying spells honestly.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu realized that most of the content in the ancient book was directly missing, so he couldn't help but look at Lu Duo, suspecting what the other party did.

"Don't look at me." At this time, Luduo turned her head aside contemptuously, "You can see that the limit is already there."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu closed the book in his hand.

Anyway, he also got the basic information, at least spending a special peppermint lozenge to get here is not a loss.

Zhao Xu was not stupid enough to argue with Lu Duo.

He knew that this was a screening test for Wang Ningwei and Aisweixi, but not for him.

The association hoped that he would obtain this "Iron Will" specialty smoothly.

But neither Antinoya nor Leian told him the details of the pit.

One must know that Leian was clearly trying to cheat him in the Forest of Lying Words before, but was only intervened by mysterious external forces.

But now, even Lu Duo in front of him prevented him from watching.

This shows that knowing the details of the entire "scavenging beast pit" is not conducive to his awakening.

This also made Zhao Xu continue to raise the level of vigilance against that half-plane.

Whether it was the description about the risk of death recorded in the classics at the beginning, or the fact that he found that the association seemed unable to put too much effort into that half-plane.

It can be seen from these that the demiplane is not so simple.

"Zhong Xia, I'll give you a hint."

At this time, Lu Duo seemed to cover up the rest of the text. She was a little afraid that Zhao Xu would be angry with her, and also felt a little sorry. She quickly explained: "That was the 'torture place' before Shinigami Nai Luo became a god."

"Boom—"

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you have come into contact with the "Secret of God" and fell into a state of deafness for 3 rounds (18 seconds)]

In an instant, the world fell into peace.
