The Truth of Magic

Chapter 222: Aftermath of the Killing (33)

Looking at Zhao Xu's actions, Shen Nian, who had also practiced the "Spell Recognition" skill, had seen the notification in the dynamic bar and knew that the other party was casting "Detection Magic".

Just like the actions of many "rookies" who have just arrived at the grocery market.

At this time, a male mage player from an adjacent booth looked over and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, as if recalling himself.

After the middle-aged man who took away two bottles of "anti-drug" from Shen Nian disappeared, he took over the stall.

Because the liar also took a one-ring arcane scroll from him, so he could barely pay off the debt with the remaining lease term of the booth.

"You are useless like this." The mage player reminded Zhao Xu, "You are in an ordinary town, where there are not even level 1 mages, and you can still retrieve the treasure with a zero-ring spell'detect magic'."

"But in the grocery market here, there are no less than a dozen stalls with mages participating behind them. Therefore, items that emit magical aura have already been screened first."

Magic items will emit their own corresponding level of "magic aura".

The strength of the aura is determined by the caster level of the magic item.

Generally, the manufacture of magic items that require a caster level below level 5 will emit a "dim" magical aura after the manufacture is completed, which is invisible to the naked eye, but can be detected with detection spells.

As for the "artifact" level, it will emit a "dazzling" level magical aura, just like a strong flashlight shining directly on the eyeballs.

It's just that at that time, players generally only shed tears of happiness.

If it is a "magic weapon", in addition to its own "magic aura", about 30% will be able to emit "light" visible to the naked eye, just like the zero-ring trick "Light Spell" blessing.

This is also the reason why holding a "magic weapon" is more attractive. Since then, the alchemy item "Illuminating Rod" worth 2 gold coins has been saved.

But after hearing what the other party said, Zhao Xu didn't say much.

Even in Mystra, he knew that some powerful chambers of commerce directly found the five-ring mage to perform the "magic constant technique" and directly solidify the "detection magic".

Let the originally difficult procedure of screening magic items in the initial stage directly become a repetitive operation on the assembly line.

Even if the "Spell Recognition" skill is strong enough, as long as you can pass the 30-level difficulty challenge, you can also get some information about magic items through the feedback of "Knowledge Origin".

Although "Detect Magic" is only a zero-ring spell, it can know the category of "Spell School", so mages can often judge a lot of things through this.

Such as summoned alien creatures, as projections, they are not real entities. Under the detection of "detection magic", they will show the characteristics of "conjuration".

And Zhao Xu also knew that once a magic item was damaged, or even affected in a special way, it would cover up the aura.

Like a ring of illusion "magic aura", the duration is calculated in days. It can cover up the magical aura of the item and fool those "detection spells".

Zhao Xu had put on his rare magic items before.

Ordinary people who want to find magic items mostly focus on these "suspected items" that cannot emit "magic aura".

After all, an "appraisal technique" that can be sentenced to death is too expensive. It costs 25 gold coins to cast the spell, and 100 gold coins for material consumption.

And in many cases, the things that are identified, not to mention the material fee of 100 gold coins, are often not even worth the service fee of 25 gold coins.

"You think this is a 'Bronze Griffon' statue?" Shen Nian suddenly said to Zhao Xu, "It's not in vain. A well-finished statue of a 'Bronze Griffon' costs tens of thousands of gold coins."

This was Zhao Xu, who had just verified the result, with a curious look on his face.

He thought that the other party had never been in contact with this kind of magic item, so he ostentatiously displayed it here for sale.

From this point of view, Shen Nian also suspected that this was a "Bronze Griffon" before?

Her elder brother Shen has already become a paladin, although he will gain the ability to recruit special mounts from the heavens at level 5 in the future, and get the "powerful mounts" presented by the "official heavens", and he will live without walking on his legs ever since.

But the challenge level of the Griffon itself is as high as level 4, and it is definitely a powerful support for the player group in the early stage, even if the paladin rides to the middle stage, it is not inferior.

Not to mention that professions such as rangers and druids, which have the ability of "animal companion", can seamlessly connect to this magic equipment.

Unlike Zhao Xu who used this equipment, it could only be used as a normal summon once.

Seeing Zhao Xu's puzzled eyes, Shen Nian blushed for a moment and didn't know whether to explain.

The mage player at the booth next to him saw this scene and reminded with a smile: "Did you look over that base?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu looked over the statue in his hand.

Ordinary people get mysterious items, in fact, the first reaction is mostly to search carefully for clues on the items, to see if there are one or two activated passwords hidden.

Only a mage like Zhao Xu who can use the zero-ring spell "Detect Magic" at will, and then use the "Organ Man Goggles" as a ring "Appraisal Spell" can be so unreasonable and directly use spells to judge .

It's like picking up a mysterious pill on the earth. Others have to speculate based on the shape, search for the outer packaging nearby, and even try it desperately.

Many adventurers who got the mysterious "magic potion" did just that.

But Zhao Xu, who possessed spells, had already obtained the "ingredient analysis report" of the pill by means of spells, and knew what it was.

It was only then that Zhao Xu noticed that there were obvious signs of damage at the bottom of the statue. It stands to reason that if there was a password, it would be the most suitable place to put it on this base.

That is, the password has just been erased.

"This is the lowest level of 'counterfeiting' in the grocery market. Deliberately destroying the position of the password, so that the buyer thinks that we sellers are stupid and can't see the trick. Then they go back and try to find a common password to crack, or even There are also those who deliberately spent hundreds of gold coins for identification, trying to directly obtain the real password."

"Then they will be dumbfounded and realize that this thing is a broken copper."

"Hey, basically every household has a few of these statues in the grocery market. It's a pity that there are not enough fools recently, so these things are unsalable." The mage player obviously sold things boringly, deliberately Explained to Zhao Xu.

It's just that at this time Shen Nian had a look of annoyance, blushing and said: "My brother is not a fool."

"Yes, yes, there is obviously a statue of this kind in my sister's booth, and he can spend 50 gold coins to buy another similar statue. It can only be said that he is unlucky." The mage player couldn't help but continued. Make complaints.

At this moment, Zhao Xu understood.

As a paladin, Shen Ze, as a spokesperson for defending justice, was actually deceived a lot when he was a low-level, and spent money to buy a fake bronze griffin statue.

It is estimated that when he came back and saw similar "fakes" at his sister's booth, he realized that he had paid a wave of IQ taxes instead of picking up the loopholes.

In the later generations, Shen has achieved the core position of the "Holy Guard" Knights, the middle power of the church, in the temple of the God of Justice and Punishment in Winter City, and is basically a candidate for the future "Head".

It can be said that he is a giant figure of the Church of the God of Justice in Winter City, and he can be regarded as one of the core backbone training lists of the church.

Basically, after death, they will all be taken to the Kingdom of God, waiting to be reincarnated into eternal life.

Sure enough, when every big shot was young, he suffered a lot.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but think so.

"What level is your brother?" Zhao Xu couldn't help asking.

It is reasonable to say that the first-level paladins don't have to worry about the mount so quickly, and they haven't earned any money for the saddle.

Mounted charge is an extremely powerful melee method for Arthur, especially after the cooperation of the specialty chain, the entire damage output will reach a terrifying method.

Once in the canyon, a tall defensive full-body iron stone relied on a long spear to smash Roja and the others in the battle formation to pieces. In the end, Zhao Xu had to use the "magic missile" that ignored the armor to kill the opponent .

"He was just level 2 yesterday." Shen Nian explained.

At this time, the player who hadn't interrupted much before, was suddenly so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and looked at Shen Nian in amazement, "No way, didn't your brother become a paladin from the Warlock account that was canceled at the beginning of the month? Why is it only half an hour?" Moon is level 2?"

At this time, Shen Nian grinned slightly, "He must be more talented, he was recruited to 'Falling Star Lake' just after level 2 yesterday."

"I'll go, your brother 'Rong Nian' can level up quickly. If he had read the 'Ten Commandments for Novices' earlier and given up on being a warlock and becoming a paladin earlier, wouldn't he have to break through level 3 now and break history? "The mage player on the side couldn't help but admire.

"How can it be, isn't there that level 4 powerhouse who jumped level 1 among mages and looked down on ordinary players like us. He guards the level list there." Shen Nian quickly pointed out this point.

"Hey, I don't know how that boss leveled up. Pity me, a rookie who is still in the apprenticeship level. I don't even know where to enter the door. There is really no comparison between people. Now they are persuading me not to Just choose the specialization route." The mage player also lowered his head and sighed at this time.

When Zhao Xu heard the other party's conversation, he couldn't help asking, "The Ten Commandments for Novices?".

He didn't even have time to ask about the keyword "Falling Star Lake".

When Shen Nian heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, my brother saw the last commandment 'If you are willing to dedicate your life to your faith, you can be elected as a paladin. His character will have to struggle for another half a month."

Hearing these words, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Originally, he thought that he was subservient to "Mystra", and the impact of the butterfly storm brought by him was minimal.

It now appears that those few posts have caused huge aftermath.

Shen Ze, an acquaintance in Winter City in his previous life, relied on his intentional or unintentional post to choose the paladin route half a month in advance.

In that world, how many players changed their original choices because of his post?

At this moment, Zhao Xu looked at the "Bronze Griffin" statue in his hand and was about to explain.

Suddenly, a kid selling newspapers on the street ran in and shouted: "Something has happened, a mysterious three-ring mage just appeared in Weizui Tavern, and a fireball technique killed 'Wolan' and the others completely." Erjing. Now they are hiding in the temple after they are resurrected, not daring to show their faces."

Continue in the afternoon.
