The Truth of Magic

Chapter 304: The Spell That Breaks the Game

After two months of contact with NPCs, players already know that dealing with NPCs may indeed trigger a "task".

But this kind of "task" is the same as the "task" entrusted by the players themselves. There is no systematic mandatory requirement, and there will be no pop-up box asking "Do you accept the old man's commission to find his granddaughter?" .

Therefore, players are often rewarded by cunning and insidious Arthur NPCs.

Complaints about this aspect have also become Nikkei posts on the forum.

After this period of education, the players themselves have also summed up their experience. The higher the position level and the tendency of their own camp is lawful or kind, most of them will not rely on the task rewards.

Therefore, when the members of the Adventurer's Guild saw the Storm Mage who revealed his official identity, they all had a feeling of intervening in Arthur's key history for a while.

The Falling Star Lake once made the players of Winter City still brag about it to this day. Because they changed history. In the game, the local chronicles of Winter City and Falling Star Town will record everything that happened that day.

Even the "mysterious priest" of the goddess of magic who performed many magical spells and the statues of the player "starry sky reflection" have been erected in Falling Star Town.

When the few people who came down together heard this, they all looked at Zhao Xu intently, waiting for his next assignment.

As the president, Frost Sword was one of the few players present who had dealt with Mystra officials.

He is well aware of the place of the Rosicrucian in the violent sector of the city of Mystra.

At this time, seeing Zhao Xu issued a certificate, he did not have the slightest doubt, and said directly with respect: "Mr. Kuangfeng, if necessary, we will cooperate with your actions."

Zhao Xu said politely, "No, I'm the one who troubled you. This is mainly because some clues reminded me of a case about the devil. I'm sorry that I can't disclose it to you in detail due to confidentiality reasons. I just hope to get it when necessary." It's just your help."

Hearing Zhao Xu's explanation, Shuang Jian also felt relieved, although he knew that the "Rose Cross" had a good reputation, so it was unlikely that he would use power to bully them.

But at this time, he heard that Zhao Xu had just discovered the clue by accident, and he had already realized that the so-called clue was the surname "Erol", which made him half happy and half worried.

And Zhao Xu did not lie, the seven notebooks themselves were also related to the Andy family's devil blood incident, and he was also vaccinated in advance at this time to avoid any change in the ownership of the handwriting.

At this time, the mage Chen Nuo asked in doubt: "Mr. Kuangfeng, why did the trap disappear?"

Zhao Xu thought without hesitation: "This is the effect of the second-ring spell 'Phantom Trap'. The only function of this spell is to mislead others into thinking that there are traps on locks or mechanical devices."

"If you search for traps or use the detect trap spell, you will think there is a trap there. From door lock hinges, window catches, corks, closures to ratchets, you can use this spell. In fact, the illusion itself is It doesn't have any power, it's just delaying the rogue's cracking time."

Shuang Jian slapped his head suddenly: "So that's the case." It seemed that he was the one who asked the question.

If Zhao Xu didn't know this, they were in this secret room, who would dare to touch the mechanism without authorization.

Even Frost Sword couldn't bear this responsibility.

There are already too many examples on the forum where players mistakenly touched the mechanism and were locked up in a secret room, only to be resurrected by suicide in the end.

Everyone present listened carefully to Zhao Xu's explanation, which was an adventurous experience in itself.

"But Mr. Blast, didn't you cast a spell to dispel the illusion just now?" Chen Nuo was still confused.

Zhao Xu smiled, "This is a new improvement in spells in recent years. If you re-release a 'Phantom Trap' within 15 meters, it can replace the original spell. So seeing that the trap on the door lock is now After I cast the spell and disappeared, I dare to conclude this."

In fact, Zhao Xu couldn't use the "True Seeing Technique", so naturally he didn't dare to say with 100% that the trap was fake.

The IQ of the mages themselves makes the traps they set up extremely cunning, and they often take into account various reactions of people and then target them.

Zhao Xu once encountered Master Ryan's "Spell Turret" in the dungeon, and the other party had set up a trapdoor trap to prevent them from retreating.

After getting Zhao Xu's answer, the two wanderers also went forward at this time, took out the thin wire hooks in their backpacks, and used the "Disable Device" skill to open the door lock.

At this moment, Shuang Jian had let go of his worries, but seeing that Chen Nuo was still frowning, he quietly walked over to him and whispered, "Is there anything strange?"

But Chen Nuo said cautiously, "President, what do you think of the use of the spell 'Phantom Trap'?"

When Shuang Jian heard it, he almost laughed out loud, "This is completely unpopular. I didn't expect that Master Kuangfeng would be able to prescribe the right medicine to get rid of it. Look at the eyes everyone is looking at him now. They have directly replaced you and become our strongest Spell advisor."

At first, everyone thought that Zhao Xu just had powerful magic equipment and didn't dare to underestimate it.

But the other party actually knew the low-level spells, obviously he was not just a second-generation magician, and no one dared to underestimate his magic skills.

Even if Chen Nuo was contrary to his opinions on spells, everyone would listen to Zhao Xu.

Chen Nuo continued: "President, so if you put it on you, would you prepare such an unpopular spell? It's the second ring, not the zero ring."

Shuangjian suddenly felt an awe-inspiring chill all over his body, and looked at Zhao Xu's back with disbelief. For a moment, he didn't know who the other party was.

Then the stone door was slowly pushed open, and inside was a more spacious hall with a square layout, which was very empty.

The hall is about four meters high and occupies a very large area. It may not be possible to reach the opposite side by running for five or six seconds. The walls and the floor are made of the same blue bricks, and the gaps are completely filled with cement, so there is no gap or abnormality to be seen.

Everyone slowly walked into the hall, and couldn't help but look up and look around, but they couldn't see any strange traces. This kind of room with exactly the same layout, like copying and pasting, will greatly blur everyone's attention.

"I'll use the Detect Secret Door spell to search first." The mage Chen Nuo said at this time, and at the same time the two rogues also used their search skills to find clues in the field.

Zhao Xu glanced at Chen Nuo, thinking that this spell was probably prepared to be learned by the other party in advance.

Counting the one-day time for the mage to learn spells, and the association waiting for a whole day to release the mission, there is at least two or three days for Frost Sword to get the map.

This also means that the enemy may have been preparing for two or three days.

Frost Sword had been in the city of Mystra before, and there were guards of magic guards and the seat of the Goddess Church, so most people did not dare to do it without authorization.

Then everyone started to get off the field, using their own half-bucket search skills to retrieve them. The main reason is that the entire field is too large to survive with just two wanderers.

Zhao Xu didn't delay either, and also used the "detect secret door" spell.

But this time, Chen Nuo didn't have any doubts when he saw him casting spells. It was normal for a mage to go to the mage tower to explore and prepare to detect secret door spells.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's eyes flashed with lightning, as if his eyes emitted a cone-shaped invisible light with a radius of 20 meters, and the mysterious magic energy directly permeated the area in front of him.

"Detect secret door" is a minute-level spell, and it also requires "concentration", which means that he cannot release other spells during this process.

Zhao Xu, the opener of an alternative "secret door sensor flashlight", can basically determine whether there is a secret door in front of him in the first round.

Then the second round can determine the specific number of secret doors. If it exists, he can analyze the situation of a secret door in each next round.

That's how he judged in that dungeon that there was a secret door behind the demon altar, otherwise they wouldn't be able to search for the altar's traps.

At this time, Zhao Xu switched to an area directly every round (6 seconds). Basically, any secret door, secret room, or cellar would be invisible under the illumination of this spell.

This is also a powerful effect of the divination detection spell.

Suddenly, while looking around, Zhao Xu stopped and stared straight ahead.

At the beginning of the adventure tactics deduction, the other people who had heard Chen Nuo explain the principles of the spell knew that Zhao Xu had gained something, and immediately turned their attention to the area in front of him.

After a while, Zhao Xu raised his hand, pointed to a floor in the corner of the front hall five meters away, and said, "Here."

The two wanderers hurried forward and lay down on the floor tile Zhao Xu was pointing at. Then they tapped the ground lightly, and then carefully checked the surrounding ground conditions, but shook their heads, "No reply? No look at it." to the crack of any secret door?"

At this time, Chen Nuo also searched here, and said in the same way: "I saw it too, there is a door, it should be a cellar."

But after the feedback of the opening information, he showed a embarrassed look, "The blood of the direct blood relatives of the Errol family must be dripped on it to remove the seal. Otherwise——"

"Otherwise, what's the matter?" Shuang Jian said nervously at the moment.

The descendant of Errol died long ago and was buried by them on the spot. At this time, there is no blood to collect.

"The surface of this brick has induction magic, and only the blood of the family can shield it. It's not that you can't destroy the brick with brute force, but once the strength of disassembly is unbalanced, the mechanism on it will open, and then the deep well we came down from will be broken." It will fall and be sealed." Chen Nuo was stunned, talking about the feedback given to him by the detection spell.

For a while, everyone who heard this sentence felt extremely troubled.

Frost Sword didn't expect that there was such a magical magic. If the whole floor tile didn't need to be destroyed evenly, it would directly trigger the trap.

A wanderer who has done engineering said: "If it is on the earth, it can be smashed evenly with percussion drilling."

"Don't be stupid, there really is, and you can't move the drilling down here." Another player retorted.

Frost Sword, on the other hand, let out a deep breath and frowned at the scene. Obviously, the mage prevented them from breaking the ground with a heavy hammer.

"Is there any spell that can be performed?" asked Kelu the poet, who was also a skilled man.

"No, I heard that your mages have a well-known routine of 'turning stones into mud'?" a soldier asked.

"That is a five-ring spell, and it can only work on natural stones. This is a magic stone, so it doesn't work." Chen Nuo said helplessly.

Hearing this, everyone understood even more that even the Mage Gale behind him might not be able to solve it.

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, had a headache.

He didn't have a headache how to break this trap, but a headache. Later, he took out a spell and solved the problem directly. How could he explain to everyone that he would specially prepare such an extremely unpopular non-core spell?

Zhao Xu could only sigh. If outside players knew that there was a way to cast spells at will, then the mage profession would probably go crazy.
