The Truth of Magic

Chapter 223 Activated Items (15)

Hearing the newsboy's words, the merchants in the grocery plaza couldn't help making a noise, and even the customers stopped to watch.

It's been a long time since Winter City has seen such excitement, and everyone couldn't help whispering to each other for a while.

"It's actually a third-ring mage, so it can't be level 5. No, Wolan and his gang won't easily mess with the local residents. They just harvest us players." The mage apprentice next to the booth was thinking about what was wrong. .

"And it's still a mage. The monthly management fee paid by this market goes to the mage association in the city, and even the government affairs hall is skipped. The people in Wolan are very smart, and they won't be so disrespectful. "

After hearing this analysis, Shen Nian's eyes showed doubts, "It's just strange how they would blindly clash with the three-ring mage and then be killed instead. And now they are still hiding in the temple, obviously they have to do it first to know how to get out. No reason."

"Could it be that the target of their attack is still the player, and it turns out that the other party is actually a third-ring mage?"

After saying these words, the two couldn't help but looked at each other, and then laughed lightly.

This is totally impossible.

You must know that the level 4 mage at the top of the list has been upgraded to level 5 in a few days, so there is no shady in this game, but there is also shady.

Players are not allowed to overthrow the forum.

And after this "gap clause", everyone knows the inside story of this clause. If the mage really reached level 5, then the "gap clause" will be reactivated once.

Only this time, there are two blank lines instead of one.

However, it would be unreasonable not to understand it this way.

The Warlana gang has a reasonable division of labor, and there are a lot of thugs offline, and there is no shortage of their eyeliners in this grocery plaza.

And after that group of people hooked up with the "Falling Star Lake" Mine Owners United Association, their power has been further expanded.

At present, players are still using "thick cloth armor" and "inlaid leather armor" with a defense strength of only 1-3 levels. This kind of light armor costs dozens of gold coins.

Wolan has already used Arthur's local warriors as guards, and at the same time, the equipment she provides for the guards is at least a half-body armor with a "+7" level of defense.

It was only when they encountered mages this time that they were easily wiped out without any means of countermeasures.

Otherwise, with the strength of those guards, it is entirely possible to drag the city guards to support them.

The three people present knew this very well, and they didn't even need to say a word.

"Actually, if it weren't for those guards, Wolan's team, which grew fat by eating players, would have been blacked out in the wild."

Shen Nian continued to add. As a warlock, the key attribute of her spellcasting is charm, not intelligence.

But in her previous life, she was able to squeeze out other intelligent mages and become a key member of the "Spell Advisory Group", a high-level organization, and her own thinking ability is not bad.

"Hitting birds all day, but being pecked by swallows. They deserve it." The mage apprentice player said with a hint of aggrieved tone.

"Have you been harvested?" Zhao Xu couldn't help asking curiously, while weighing the bronze statue in his hand.

"There are too many things about them bullying the players. It's just that our player group is relatively closed-loop because of the projection, so there are not many troubles with the managers of Winter City." Shen Nian explained.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this.

In the early days of the server, the first reaction of the players to encounter something was not to report to the npc in charge of the town, but to directly copy the guy and fight back.

Therefore, no matter who is right or who is wrong, the city guards and the security team are very troublesome for the players. It is only this month that the order of the players is much less, and there are fewer cases of disturbing the local residents of Arthur.

"Hey, Ran Yi, but if you really want to give your brother a gift, it is said that the batch of griffin eggs in Winter City is about to hatch, and many people are already ready to make reservations. I heard that Wolan and his gang have made at least two reservations." Well, after this incident, I guess I must have been discouraged." The mage apprentice encouraged him.

"How much do those griffin eggs cost?" Shen Nian, who was called Ran Yi, asked with a hint of hesitation.

Griffins have a full 7 hit dice. Although they are not comparable to level 7 characters, at least their health value is 59HP.

Now that a player of level one or two is paired with a griffin, it is really a mount that can fight better than a human.

Get off your horse as soon as you encounter a battle, and just watch your mount fight.

Not to mention, the Griffin has an ability that current players dream of-flying.

The Griffin Knights of the Northern Alliance have gained a great reputation throughout the Northland.

"This, it seems to be..." The apprentice also heard other people chatting in the Master Academy, and he couldn't remember the specific number for a while.

"A griffin egg is 3,500 gold coins, a baby griffin is 7,000 gold coins, and the price of hiring a professional trainer to breed or train a giant eagle is 1,500 gold coins." Zhao Xu said, gently dragging the single glasses frame on the bridge of his nose.

Thanks to Arthur's stable prices, the data that he specially inquired about in his previous life can now be used.

At that time, he still remembered Shen Ze, the elder brother of the woman in front of him, who patted his chest and mentioned it to him during a dinner party.

If Zhao Xu was willing to join their holy guard's peripheral organization, he could give him one as a gift.

But Zhao Xu knew at the time that Shen Ze's real reason for sending him was that the other party wanted to support him in revenge and deducted it from his own share, so Zhao Xu flatly declined.

Because he knew that a griffin couldn't help him get things done.

When Shen Nian and the two heard Zhao Xu's offer, they were almost dumbfounded.

The current "+1 enhancement" magic weapon is only less than 3000 gold coins.

Owning it, you can be regarded as a master in the player group.

Shen Nian suddenly understood why her brother was cheated, anyone who knew the market price would frown easily, so she thought of using other ways to realize it.

"Forget it, my brother definitely can't afford it." Shen Nian lowered his head and said at this moment.

But a paladin who does good deeds has never been rich.

And the mage apprentice on the side also sighed, "Oh, it's difficult."

Zhao Xu had already made up his mind, but he noticed that the apprentice beside him sighed, and asked curiously, "Which level are you stuck in?"

Although Zhao Xu took the quick route, after being trained in the final scroll, his vision is not bad, not to mention that he also gained a lot of knowledge in the library of legends.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu wouldn't have posted on the forum.

"No, in fact, I already have some clues after reading the 'Road to the Mage' written by the Great God Dongcheng Ling." The mage apprentice sighed again.

"Well, isn't that very good." Shen Nian thought that the other party had been unable to successfully transcribe spells and had a headache.

"It's very difficult for an early-stage mage. There are only two or three spell slots, so I'm wondering whether to choose the specialization route." The apprentice said.

Hearing this, Shen Nian also fell into silence.

As a sorcerer, her own ways are not quite consistent with those of a mage, and it is not easy to give opinions at this time.

There are a total of eight schools of spells, which are divided into "protection", "conjuration", "evocation", "prophecy", "change", "confusion", "illusion", and "change".

Among them, a professional mage chooses to specialize in one faction and gives up the other faction. From then on, he can no longer learn and release the spells of the opposite school.

And once such a choice is made, the specialized mage can prepare an additional specialized spell in each ring.

This increase from 2 spell slots to 3 spell slots is not insignificant.

As for the school to give up, in the eyes of many players, they may not have the money to learn spells in the future, so it is not a pity to give up castles in the air.

"Hey, the previous 'Mage's Path' post was also vague about specialization, otherwise I wouldn't have to be so entangled. Many graduates have chosen specialization mages." The apprentice said.

The investment cost of a mage is huge, unlike a soldier who can quickly return to the previous height after re-opening an account after death, so the mage group is very cautious.

Zhao Xu didn't expect to meet a forum player who he had more or less introduced here.

He also let go of his original guard and said in relief: "In fact, if you don't have a special training route, otherwise you will not lose money if you simply follow the generalist mage."

Like the inheritance of the "Illusionist" route, he remembered that there should be no such area in the Northland, even the Floating Void City was cut off.

When Zhao Xu wrote that post, it was a kind of insight. After some edification recently, his knowledge has reached a new level.

So he was going to wait until he reached level 5 before updating the version of Path of the Mage 2.0.

Although he still has a lot of gaps compared to Master Gaohuan, his height is enough to look down on all new wizards, even if Aisweixi and Wang Ningwei are here.

"I hope." The apprentice looked a little lonely at this moment, apparently not taking Zhao Xu's words at ease.

Zhao Xu turned to Shen Nian and asked her, "Do you know the function of the bronze griffin?"

And Shen Nian was slightly startled after hearing this, and immediately smiled and said: "I know."

Then she pointed to the statue in Zhao Xu's hand and said, "If it's real, after reading the command, the statue will be activated into a real 'Griffin' magical beast. I remember the description says that it can be used twice a week. Each session lasts 6 hours."

"That's right." Zhao Xu nodded in agreement.

Now that you know the most basic content, you don't have to worry about the treasure being dusted.

Most of Arthur's magic items have directional spells behind them, as the basic principle of the item.

The "star cloak" worn by Zhao Xu is the spell of the same name, and the source of the intellectual turban is the second-ring spell "Fox's Cunning" that can temporarily increase the intelligence attribute.

The principle behind magic items like "Bronze Griffin" is the six-ring spell "Activation Item".

"This statue is real, but it is a bit damaged. It can still be activated twice a week, but the duration is only 4 hours left. It is estimated that it will be discounted a lot. You can take it away and bring it to your brother."

Zhao Xu handed the statue back to Shen Nian directly.

"Don't be joking." Shen Nian did not expect that Zhao Xu, who had just reminded her that there was a problem with the anti-drug, would be so humorous.

Seeing that the other party took it, Zhao Xu didn't say much.

In the previous life, Shen didn't mention this statue to him, and the other party didn't lack the means of "identification" in the later stage. It is estimated that this treasure was picked up by others.

Zhao Xu also directly took out a sticky note, lightly wrote a password on it, and handed it to Shen Nian.

Then he turned and left.

Since the newspaper boy was able to come over and shout about that matter, it means that his characteristics will be spread soon, and he has to go to Qiao Zhuang to change his face first.

At this time, Shen Nian lowered his head and spread out the note, which indeed had a password written in common language.

only?

Shen Nian didn't understand, she raised her head and was about to ask Zhao Xu's name.

Just now the other party told her that there was a problem with the anti-drug, and she hadn't had time to repay.

However, Zhao Xu's figure had disappeared into the grocery square.

"I'll go, I'm going so fast, I can't be invisible." The apprentice lowered his head just now, but Zhao Xu disappeared when he raised his head.

However, he also hurriedly greeted Shen Nian, "Try it, it won't hurt you."

"Maybe it's a string of codes to get rich."

Shen Nian thought to himself, how can there be so many things about getting rich overnight.

I just don't know why, maybe it was Zhao Xu's knowledge of words just now, which let her know that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

After thinking about it, Shen Nian still held the statue, looked at the fancy font on the note and said a prayer.

She is a little strange, how can the current players write the common language so fluently, as if they have written it for many years, they all have their own habits.

Just as Shen Nian finished speaking, she suddenly felt the statue in her hand vibrate.

With disbelief in his gaze, Shen Nian quickly let go of the bronze statue in his hand, allowing it to fall onto the table.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind swept through the entire grocery square.

"Damn it, where does the wind come from at noon?" A peddler hurriedly put back the books that had been blown away, and put up the "No Advance Reading" sign again.

"Hey, do you still want to buy it?" The vendor hurriedly asked the customer in front of him, but the customer turned his head in one direction at this moment.

He couldn't help but look up, and found that everyone around him turned their bodies in one direction at this time, as if they were all attracted.

He secretly wondered why the bustle was so beautiful, and he also looked in that direction driven by curiosity.

Then he couldn't turn his eyes away.

A "griffin" with the characteristics of a lion and an eagle, with a golden luster shining all over its body, looked proudly at everyone present.

The griffin spread its wings at the same time. The wings were nearly seven or eight meters long, and they were as high as two floors, covering everything around them.

If it weren't for the open space above the grocery plaza, it would not be able to accommodate such a huge magical beast.

At this moment, the trader just kept thinking about one thought——

Someone picked up a treasure and was about to give it away.
