The Truth of Magic

Chapter 217 Winter City (13)

In his previous life, Zhao Xu, as the sheriff of a small town, still had a magic weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus.

Although it was not as good as the majority of high-level fighters, who were always +2 or +3 magic weapons, Zhao Xu was already very satisfied.

Warriors with magic weapons are equivalent to car owners on earth.

It is not enough to say that it is a luxury car, but at least there is no need to beg the mages for a "magic weapon" every day when taking risks to get by.

In the early stage, when mages were short of spell slots, it was generally not easy to spare spell slots for warriors to add weapons to.

The most obvious feature of a +1 magic weapon is to increase its attack power by 1 most intuitively.

If that's all it is, that's fine.

The key point is that many monsters themselves have damage reduction. Warriors often managed to break through the monster's defense and cut out the damage with the big knife in their hands.

However, he found that the damage disappeared instantly, which is the power of damage reduction.

Fortunately, this kind of damage reduction is usually accompanied by weaknesses, and the most common weakness is that damage reduction can be penetrated by magic weapons.

And even if it's other weaknesses, magic weapons often have special effects to target them.

Therefore, Arthur's "magic weapon" is also natural, and the rising tide lifts all boats.

A weapon wants to be enchanted successfully and become a magic weapon.

Its predecessor had to be a "fine product" worth hundreds of gold coins, and then enchanted by the caster to transform it into a "magic weapon".

If the "giant scythe" in front of Zhao Xu was the most common standard equipment, he could get it for only 18 gold coins.

However, if it is that kind of "fine product", then you need to add 300 gold coins to reach 318 gold coins before you can buy it.

After becoming a magic weapon, the specific price is determined according to the strength of the enchantment.

In the legendary range, the enhancement bonus of ordinary magic weapons is between +1 and +5.

However, magic weapons are not just monotonously increasing attack power and damage power.

Magic weapons themselves can also have special effects, and Arthur generally uses a fixed number of gold coins, or "+1" to "+5" to divide them according to their value.

For example, the blazing god servant that Zhao Xu once transformed into had a + 5 Wukong giant sword.

+5 means that the enhancement bonus of magic weapons has reached the upper limit.

And "Dancing Sky" is a "special ability" that allows the owner to free up his hands, and the price evaluation is also equivalent to +5 enhancement.

Therefore, the price adjustment of a +5 Wukong giant sword itself is a +10 bonus, which is also the upper limit of magic weapons under legend.

The highest can only be piled up to +10.

Like the +1 Nether scythe in front of Zhao Xu, its own weapon enhancement bonus is +1, and the price adjustment of the "Ghost" effect is also "+1", so its price adjustment is equivalent to "+2".

After thousands of years of price fluctuations for Arthur, magic weapons have basically become a very stable high-end trade. Unless they encounter fluctuations in local wars, the prices are extremely stable.

Basically, the price is adjusted from "+1" to "+10", and the cheapest "+1" is 2000 gold coins.

The price adjustment "+2" will increase 8000 gold coins, that is, the +1 ghost scythe in Zhao Xu's hand. In addition to the original price of 318 gold coins, because of the two characteristics of "+1" enhancement and ghost, it directly soars to The market price of 8318 gold coins.

These magical weapons are also the most valuable collateral, so every soldier is willing to spend a lot of money to buy one.

So even if Zhao Xu was a little local tyrant at the moment, he couldn't help being excited when he saw the magic weapon that the "Fearful Li Fuling" dropped because of his escape.

This is exactly 8000 gold coins in hand.

Sure enough, if you take big risks, you will have big rewards.

The ghost weapon is also the only rare equipment that can be dropped by incorporeal bodies, even if it is played ten times, it may not be able to drop once.

But with this weapon, Zhao Xuri will really turn into a warrior in the future, even if he fights ghosts, he won't be restrained.

It's just that Zhao Xu looked at the "giant scythe" in front of him over and over again, but after all, he couldn't see anything unusual, and it didn't have any special mechanisms.

According to Zhao Xu's hands that had touched countless weapons in his previous life, this was just a very "ordinary" magic weapon.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu walked to the front and stood in front of the portal leading to the "Demiplane of Scavengers".

The edge of the portal is a stone door frame, and blue and white magic energy ripples are constantly glowing in the middle of the interior. Obviously, as long as you walk through this door, you can teleport to the target location.

During this period of time, after Zhao Xu had entered and exited the floating city, he had traveled to and from these portals more than once, and he no longer had the excitement he had when he passed him for the first time.

Generally, at this point, the choice of normal people is mostly to directly hold the "key" scythe, and then slowly walk into the portal, waiting for the challenge to come.

But Zhao Xu is now a mage with various methods.

Compared with other players, he flapped his wings and could see the existence of a bigger world outside.

Since Zhao Xu had the highest limit of seventeen second-ring spells, he would also pay for the information.

All kinds of experiences in this experience told him that everything is not so simple.

He even doubted whether the scythe in his hand was the real key.

Or, is there more than one key to pass through this portal?

Otherwise, the key to the portal is hidden on the body of the "Fearful Bound Spirit", and it would be too extreme for the other party to drop it just in time.

So after Zhao Xu thought about it, he decided to follow the mage's way of thinking.

Since he doesn't know.

Then let the spell tell him.

The moment he knew that the target was the portal, a spell flashed in Zhao Xu's mind - "Analyze the portal."

This spell is a third-ring spell for mages and poets, but it is also a second-ring spell in the "Teleportation Domain".

So Zhao Xu, as a level 3 dossier scholar, can show it.

He took out the lens and small mirror that he bought at the market in the morning from his backpack, and cast the spell according to the spell in his mind on the spot.

The casting time for this spell is close to a full minute.

Zhao Xu had used the "identification technique" for an hour, so he was able to remain patient.

After the last incantation was chanted, and the second ring magic position in his mind disappeared in an instant, the crystal lens in his hand merged with the mirror directly, turning into a bright light that covered Zhao Xu's whole body.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu felt as if his whole body had turned into a radar, and waves of energy emanated from his body, and began to locate the portal or "gate to another world" spell within a full 18 meters.

And there is indeed only one portal on this high platform, and all the energy naturally gathers on it.

Zhao Xu has a caster level of level 5, so he can last this spell for nearly 5 rounds.

He can get a piece of information from this portal every round!

Every piece of information kept popping up on Zhao Xu's dynamic panel, revealing the secret of the portal to him.

It's just that Zhao Xu frowned more and more.

According to these prompts, after he holds the scythe through the portal in front, he will be given a "random" teleportation effect.

At the place he teleports to, the power of time and space will build a concealed temporary portal, which lasts for five days, and only he can pass through it.

His task is to find this portal, and once he steps in, he can go directly to the "legendary demiplane".

Zhao Xu didn't expect that he would drag the battlefield to another place all of a sudden.

This also means that the variables increase dramatically.

Although only he can pass through the portal, but he will have a lot of outside interference.

From Arthurian natives to gamers, everything.

Zhao Xu was looking at the "gem" he had buried in the corner.

As long as he is on the same plane, he can successfully return to the location of any gem through the "gem jump" magic he cast before.

However, when he came back, the portal wouldn't come back.

Everyone can only activate the power of this portal once within ten years.

Compared with other people who have teleported and arrived in a strange city, they have to go through a lot of honing and guessing before they can understand the ultimate purpose.

Relying on the spell of "analyzing the portal", Zhao Xu had already skipped a lot of guesswork and reached the goal in one step.

This is also the powerful effect of spells.

It smooths out the gap.

It can falsify guesswork.

It can reverse reality.

After Zhao Xu thought about it, he walked forward calmly.

Speaking of which, his "Analytic Portal" is actually a big killer. After learning this spell, as long as he can judge the area of ​​the portal, he can rely on this spell to locate the specific location of the hidden portal.

So he didn't need to force his luck like other personnel.

Slowly, Zhao Xu walked into the portal that was constantly vibrating on the surface, and the power of space began to pull his body.

A burst of white light flashed.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up.

In front of him is the familiar "Promenade Avenue". There are taverns and restaurants everywhere along the street, and the sound of players shouting and bargaining can be heard from a huge grocery market next to it.

Nearby shops have already stacked their shelves on the walkway, while the chimneys of the blacksmith shop in the distance stand tall, constantly spewing out thick smoke, which is a very lively street scene.

Zhao Xu smiled in relief.

He returned to the Winter City ten years ago in his memory.
