The Truth of Magic

Chapter 273 The Fourth Reward (33)

"go back."

But at this moment, Zhao Xu was holding the hourglass with a gold base on his chest and shouting.

Immediately, the sand at the bottom of the glass long-necked long bottle continued to flow backwards, and it was not until all the sand returned to the top of the bottle that it slowly poured downward again.

At this moment, Zhao Xu realized that his whole body was in the stage where he was about to perform the "Oath of Blood".

He immediately interrupted the casting process. Cancel this spell.

Then he looked at the middle-aged man who was still sleeping in front of him, and immediately cast a spell and said in a low voice, "I want to remove the curse from the person in front of me."

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, a powerful mysterious force emerged from the void, directly intruding into the middle-aged man's body, and continuously absorbing strange energies with the power of curse from his body.

"Master, thank you for your quick response." Lacus said.

After Zhao Xu used the "wish technique" to remove the "family command technique" imposed on the man in front of him, he waited silently.

Until six seconds later, he did not see a new mission pass prompt.

Obviously, in the current "historical scene", after he used the "Time Retrospective Talisman" and "Prayer" to erase the previous spells, everything returned to the original state when he entered the door.

If Zhao Xu had reacted slower just now and hadn't disarmed the "family command technique", there would be a risk of direct settlement.

However, only the third ring's "remove curse", "wish", and "miracle" were effective in dispelling the "family command technique".

If you only use "Remove Curse", you have to be higher than Zhao Xu's caster level.

In the final scroll, Zhao Xu was equivalent to a level 20 spellcaster, and if he had to be more advanced, he had to go to legend.

"Master, let's look for other clues then?" Lux said.

At this time, she also understood that Zhao Xu's purpose of using the "Time Rewinding Talisman" was actually to rewind a copy that had been cleared and study it again.

Anyway, they already have the pass key.

"However, this mage in history is a ruthless person." Lux commented silently.

"He is indeed a ruthless person." Zhao Xu agreed.

In fact, he only cast two spells, and he was still waiting for them to take effect, but the system reminded him that they had passed.

There is no need to delay the final settlement after 12 hours.

It is precisely because this scene is just a repeat of a certain period of history.

And his actions were consistent with those of the vengeful mage at that time.

So he immediately cleared the scene with full marks.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu was also secretly wary of himself.

An eight-ringed "Family Commanding Spell" combined with a fifth-ringed "Blood Contract" is a proper clan-killing spell.

The living people of the whole family, in addition to facing the killing from blood relatives. Even if you kill the other party instead, you still have to face the revenge of your relatives who have become undead creatures.

Sure enough, when a mage possesses monstrous hatred, the damage he can do is beyond anyone's imagination.

"Then master, what kind of investigation and experiment do we need to do next?" Lacus asked.

Just now Zhao Xu needed to reload the file again in preparation for re-entering these historical scenes in the future.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, pondered for a while, looked at the two lying on the bed, and said to himself, "The command technique itself is flawed, you know Lux."

"I know, master. The fourth ring's second-level errand has a limit of days, while the sixth ring's errand is permanent until the task is completed, but they can suffer 'disgusting' and 3D6 (3-18) points of damage every day. The price, refused to perform the task." Lux said.

"That's why I suggest that Master, you make up a 'Blood Oath'. In this way, even if the other party dies due to injury, in addition to transferring the curse to the blood relatives, you can also become an undead creature and continue to perform the mission."

Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this, "Then Lacus, did you notice the time interval just now?"

"After I cast the 'Family Instruction Technique', there was no reminder that the task was completed after six seconds. And when I paired it with the 'Blood Oath', the clearance reward was immediately activated within six seconds." Zhao Xu said.

"This means that a simple 'family command technique' can't even get a single ability." At this moment, Lux realized Zhao Xu's meaning.

"Not necessarily, it is possible that the two rewards will be settled after 12 hours. But this also means that the 'Blood Oath' must have an unusual significance for this task, and we may not be so lucky every time in the future The customs clearance trick."

"This is also the reason why I just deliberately went back to the task. I think this may involve the mechanism of the scene itself."

"Wow, my master is really awesome." Lux immediately boasted to Zhao Xu with joy, "We're actually going to cheat to study the mechanism."

It's just that Lux's words had already been filtered by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu's "time retrospective talisman" had used up its once-a-day ability.

So in the end, no matter what, he had to use the "family command technique" combined with the "blood oath" to end the mission.

It is 0-2 abilities that save waiting for settlement.

At this time, Zhao Xu cast the six-ring spell "Fixed Body Dafa" directly on the sleeping two people.

In an instant, a grayish-yellow halo directly shone on the two people on the bed, but the other party who was still asleep did not notice it.

"Then let's look elsewhere. Within 20 hours of this spell, even if they wake up, they will be paralyzed and unable to move."

After speaking, Zhao Xu switched back to the "spiritual body" state and continued to explore.

That middle-aged man was Zhao Xu's target, so he would naturally have to find him to solve it later.

Just during the next hour or so of searching.

Zhao Xu still did not find any other clues, as if there was not even a trace of magic left in the entire castle.

However, Zhao Xu still controlled a few people and brought them together to the middle-aged man's room.

Zhao Xu, the maid, thought he was innocent and put him in another room. At this time, there were only three men of the same clan left in the room.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu said, "Lax, the target of the errand is only one person, so this family can be very clear. Even as long as there is a 'healing belt' to cover the damage cost of not performing the mission, and the other party can bear it If you are in a disgusting state, you can control this curse until you die of old age."

Lux also nodded when she heard this, the high-level spellcasting of "remove curse" or the "wish" and "miracle" of nine rings has always been rare.

This is also the reason why Arthur's major noble lords and royal powers maintain a good relationship with the church, and they regularly send their descendants to serve the gods every year.

"So, master, what do you want?" Lux asked while looking at the three of them.

"That's right."

"Chain spell - family command."

Zhao Xu used the "chain spell" super magic to cast the "family command technique" on the spot.

Chain casting can turn a spell that acts on a single target and has a casting distance above the touch into effect on multiple targets, which requires a higher cost than the third ring.

Immediately, the three people in the room were controlled by Zhao Xu's "family command technique" at the same time.

After Zhao Xu finished, he also cast the "blood oath" of chain casting at the same time.

This saves him from casting effects on the scene settlement one by one, and at the same time he changes the effective factor to three.

What the opposing family needs to face are the three "subjects" who have been given the mission to kill everyone in the family.

This eliminates the possibility of fully controlling one person and interrupting the transmission of the curse.

In the entire castle, the infected body changed from one person to three people, and the difficulty of controlling it also increased by 10 times on the spot.

"Master, you are the real ruthless one." Lax didn't expect that Zhao Xu would take more measures.

"That's why those royal families have to be careful to please the Church and the Mage Association. Otherwise, they will be cursed, and they will be exterminated within three years." Lacus said with emotion.

"Even if this spell has been sealed."

At this time, Zhao Xu also realized that the previous pass reminder had come again.

[Hint: The adventurer Zhongxia's response method is more powerful than the historical scene, and he will receive four rewards, and the scene ends. 】

"Wow wow wow!" Lux couldn't help exclaiming at this moment, there is actually an excess reward?

"Lax, don't get excited. This is just a chance for us to learn, and it's not really giving away a specialty for nothing." Zhao Xu was already calm at this moment.

But he also sorted out the train of thought of this scene.

Do the same as the original owner in history, that is, get all 3 rewards, and if you exceed it, you can get excess rewards.

At this time, the scene in front of Zhao Xu had been shattered into nothingness, allowing him to return to the scroll space at the beginning.

Specialties such as "simulating supernatural ability", "martial arts learning" and "strength of iron heart", "arcane mastery" and cheats all appeared in the "optional specialties" list of his character card list.

That is to say, once he has a vacant specialty slot, he can convert the alternates in the optional specialty list into official specialties.

He is equivalent to skipping the stage of "learning specialties", without wasting time like learning "transcribing scrolls" or awakening "abilities".

There is also no possibility of failure like learning "spell persistence" at the beginning.

And the fourth reward quietly appeared in the item list of Zhao Xu's character card——

Thought bottle recipe.

"This bottle can restore people to their original level." Lux silently commented.
