The Truth of Magic

Chapter 224 Divination (25)

After Zhao Xu left the grocery square with the invisibility technique, he rushed directly to the mage association's residence in Winter City.

After he left Mystra to find the altar where the devil was hiding, he was finally sent to the hotel in the small town to rest because there was no Mage Association there.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu could rely on his status as a mage and apply for accommodation through the nearby magic association.

Apart from the fact that the price of staying for one night is much lower, the Mage Association itself means enough secrecy.

He is wearing a magic robe and the scythe behind his back. This combination of features is really dazzling.

The newsboy just mentioned that he can cast three-ring spells. If the other party pointed out the scythe, then the mage apprentice and Shen Nian would understand that the three-ring mage who harvested the lives of Wolan and others Stand right in front of them.

In Winter City, everything went slowly. Zhao Xu had sent an application for road repairs to the city hall before, and the approval process was delayed for a year and a half just to transfer to the city lord's mansion, which was the final arbitration.

However, gossip in Winter City ran faster than anyone else.

Zhao Xu, who had seen this kind of peeing in his previous life, knew that at night at the latest, everyone who should know would know the details of the killing that just happened.

So he had to go to the Mage Association to apply for accommodation before this time, and then use some means to change his appearance.

The current Zhao Xu, to put it bluntly, with the blessing of spells, he could even be more of a fighter than a fighter.

In the end, when Zhao Xu arrived at the reception counter in the front lobby of the Mage Association in Winter city, he immediately withdrew his invisibility and went straight to a booth to register.

Theoretically, when every registered mage goes to other towns with mage associations, there will be no disadvantage in going to the local area to register once.

At least in the provision of various information channels, the association can give a helping hand.

Zhao Xu didn't come to the first stop before, mainly because the clerks in charge of registration at the front desk might not know Winter City better than him.

Strictly speaking, he is the boss here.

This time, Zhao Xu didn't hand out his super VIP card, which was the "Mithril Shining" badge.

Anyway, if he comes to register, the association will know if it intervenes, and there is no need for him to emphasize that if he does not intervene, it actually means that everything must be self-reliant.

And he also felt that the less external force involved, the more he would be able to find the "portal gate".

"Mr. Zhong Xia, I'm sorry. Recently, due to the expansion of the mage group and the academic seminar held in Winter City, so until the end of this month, all mages registered in the association can only stay in double rooms. In order to express my apologies, this stay It’s free. And you can rest assured that the new accommodation has been approved and will be completed by the end of the month.”

Miss Clerk, try to speak in a polite and gentle tone.

Zhao Xu guessed that he hadn't heard much about this method in his previous life.

However, he also heard the other party's point. I am afraid that the two points of "One Ring" and "Earth Adventurer" are the reasons why he is stuck with his treatment.

Zhao Xu reacted immediately.

I'm afraid that this kind of welfare for the registered mages is too much arbitraged by those graduated first-ring mages, and there is not enough free rooms, so this kind of measure can only be taken.

And those double rooms should also be transformed from the original single rooms.

Zhao Xu didn't intend to correct the number of rings on the badge that represented his identity on the spot at this time, otherwise he might inject his own magic power, and the badge would automatically change to a second ring.

He also wanted to contact the mage players in Winter City to add information, so he agreed to the request for a double room.

Anyway, he, Qiao Zhuang, would not take a few minutes.

Before he went to look for Wolan, he actually wanted to use the other party's hand to release a message to help him pay attention to whether there was anything strange around him.

"Okay, then I'll check you in now."

Although the lady clerk knew that the player in front of her would not be too angry, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that the player didn't care.

For her, these mages are unpredictable. "

When Zhao Xu arrived at the target room with the casted door number plate and key, he found that the room was already full of three people, a first-ring sorcerer and two sorcerer apprentices.

The three of them were all sitting on the rattan sofa next to the door, and the "Griffon Chess" popular in the North was still placed on the long table in the middle.

The whole room is very spacious, even if there are two beds, there is still a large space in the middle, and in the corner is a desk with a simple alchemy device.

On the other side of the aisle is a bookshelf, most of which are relatively simple magic books.

"Huh?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but have some doubts. Has it become a world of four?

"Oh, sorry, the two of them are mage apprentices who haven't graduated from the association. I heard that I came to Winter City to see me. Sorry, they will leave later."

A ring mage who was sitting on the sofa quickly stood up and motioned to Zhao Xu, "My name is 'Storm Night', a level 1 mage."

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Zhao Xu also nodded, "Zhong Xia, a level 1 mage."

Generally speaking, the game IDs taken are rather bizarre and do not conform to Arthur's original naming style, and most of them are difficult to be widely circulated.

Therefore, after time travel, many players use their real names back.

Especially when playing games, the names they choose are those that sound shy.

Zhao Xu didn't say much, and first put his scythe next to an unused bed.

Just now, he had temporarily borrowed some simple bandages from the front desk. After putting away the scythe in his hand, he wrapped it around again, so that the original shape could not be seen at all.

So the three people in the room didn't care much.

"Have you heard that a group of people have gone missing in 'Falling Star Lake' recently. Yesterday, the Temple of the God of Justice sent a wave of paladins to investigate." said the slightly fat apprentice sitting alone.

"Hey, the 'Falling Star Lake' is very dark, and something will happen sooner or later. If it weren't for the key transfer station nearby, we players wouldn't bother to go." A taller and thinner apprentice responded.

And the first-level mage who introduced himself at the beginning, Yu Ye, said carelessly, "Don't tell me, I just took the mission this time to go to the 'Falling Star Lake' to investigate, and the nephew of a big man is also missing."

"Come on, there are a group of miners who have seen the sun under the ground, and a bunch of entertainment venues on the ground. Who knows if the nephew of that big man is still in Wenrouxiang?" The slightly fat apprentice complained.

After hearing the other party's discussion, even though Zhao Xu knew the reason for the "Battle of Falling Star Lake" in his previous life, he still felt the calm before the storm.

But he didn't say much, but went to another room in the suite, where there was a quiet room, and he needed to use some spells to judge it first.

I was on the main road just now, it was too noisy to cast spells.

And the three of them happened to be talking about the Fengyue place in Falling Star Lake at this moment, so they couldn't help showing their own insights and commenting on it one at a time.

Zhao Xu didn't know why. The man didn't seem to express his opinion on this aspect, as if it was embarrassing.

But after listening to the last sentence, he had already walked into the quiet room and closed the door behind him.

In order to avoid interference, the quiet room only has a set of simple tables and chairs, and the rest of the common instruments are all packed in boxes beside it.

But this time, Zhao Xu wanted to perform magic, so he took out the things he bought before from his backpack.

A set of marked divination sticks, exactly the magic tools used by wizards in ancient tribes for divination.

This is also the magic weapon needed for the priest's second-ring magic "divination".

Then Zhao Xu continued to take out the special incense from his backpack, lightly dipped his fingers in the holy water, and drew a simple magic circle on the table.

Finally, Zhao Xu put the holy emblem on it and started to light the incense at the same time.

When the scent of peace of mind slowly rose, Zhao Xu held the stick directly and began to wave it according to the requirements of the "divination" spell.

The whole stick seems to be waving without rules, but in fact it slowly writes a faint magic circle in the air.

This is also the reason why the spellcasters look pale and mature. They use their brains to cast complex spells every day, and their bodies are not much better.

On the contrary, the war animal husbandry who only uses "divine grace", "divine energy", and "righteousness like a rainbow" to strengthen his own spells has a great body.

The divination spell lasts a full minute.

Finally, when Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, the incense worth 25 gold coins in front of him burned out in one go, and the whole process was accelerated hundreds of times.

When the incense burnt to the last ashes, the flame that was about to extinguish bounced up into the air and floated in front of Zhao Xu's eyes, emitting a green phosphorescence.

Looking at the dancing phosphorescence in front of him, Zhao Xu directly asked the question he had prepared before——

"If I teleport to 'Falling Star Lake' immediately, will it help me find my target portal?"

For divination, the more specific the question, the more likely it will be answered successfully.

At this time, the spiritual light floating in the air slowly began to condense, and finally turned into a "ji" character.

Then the phosphorescence slowly dissipated, and the entire room was plunged into darkness again.

But Zhao Xu was unmoved.

Although he basically guessed the result, he wasn't too excited.

To be honest, Zhao Xu didn't want to rush into Falling Star Lake.

Having read that period of history, he knows how brutal the battle was, and thanks to the players having resurrection stones, otherwise, there would be no living players around Winter City.

Even if he was the least likely to die among the players, he still didn't want to dance around the powder keg.

So he has always tried to change the fate of others by influencing others, rather than intervening suddenly.

Otherwise, it's really not that difficult for him to obtain a portal qualification.

As expected, it was the place where the "Reaper" once suffered. Even the location where the portal was opened is the place where the dead are about to die the worst.
