The Truth of Magic

Chapter 306 Embalming the Body

After everyone came out of the underground stone room, they basically had different expressions.

The notebook that the entire team was aiming for was tightly hidden in a lead box and wrapped with hemp rope.

Arthur's lead products are often used to shield the effect of spell detection. When the notebook was placed in it, it became quiet and no longer automatically flew to Zhao Xu's side.

Regarding this, Zhao Xu suspected that it was some kind of "aggregation" characteristic.

Once he put two notebooks next to each other and there was no response.

When he was in the underground temple, he had Andy's notebook in his backpack, and he also held the ghost's notebook in his hand. There was nothing abnormal in the whole process until the extermination of the demons in the deep hell.

It wasn't until he glued the two notebooks together that they merged.

Unlike now, just as he took it out, the notebook suddenly felt like it was flying towards him.

So he suspects that this is because his notebook has become "2/7", which has an automatic attraction to another "1/7".

And there is no way to hide what happened under the stone chamber. Following the whispers of the players, the members of the Watchmen's Union quickly understood what had just happened.

It also made Zhao Xu suffer another round of surprise and admiration.

"Are you saying that everything is arranged by a black hand behind the scenes?"

"You think too much."

"If not, where have you ever heard of such a thing that automatically recognizes the master? Even artifacts may not be so smart."

"Or, in fact, we participated in a certain large-scale epic plot of Arthur?"

"I guess this is still possible. Wait for the mage tower, if it is not sure, it will be activated on the spot."

Hearing these overly thought-provoking discussions, Zhao Xu had no choice but to control the phantom horse under him and stay away from some teams to avoid being infected.

Just now, when the notebook was automatically attached, they opened it in the stone room and looked at the real detailed address of the mage tower recorded in it. The details of the specific tower body will be analyzed when camping at night.

Because of this, Zhao Xu knew about the sorcerer's tower, which sank in the "mirror moon lake" which was a day away from the swamp.

On the map, Jingyue Lake is already close to the Xifeng Valley where various powerful monsters are entrenched, which is also one of the risks of this trip.

After coming out of the swamp, Zhao Xu deliberately stayed away from Shuangjian in order to distance himself from the notebook. At this time, there was a large "Soul Prisoner" following him, so it was not a big problem.

He was also afraid that they would get too close, even the lead case could not shield the connection between the two notebooks.

If you watch a notebook flying around in the wild, it may be noticed by enemies who may be watching secretly, so they can directly intercept it.

So everyone also agreed that they could only open the lead box to read the contents of the notebook in a closed room.

In fact, Zhao Xu was also helpless. Of all the people present, he was the only one who was not suitable for holding that lead box.

According to the agreement, the sorcerer's tower will eventually belong to him. Once Zhao Xu still has the notebook, he can tamper with the records about traps and treasures in the notebook at any time, and finally realize the possibility of hiding some treasures.

More importantly, he was afraid that before entering the Mage Tower, the two notes would start to merge again, and something strange that he could not predict would happen.

After a while, after several senior officials of the trade union bowed their heads and whispered to Shuang Jian, Shuang Jian ran to Zhao Xu's side quickly.

"Mr. Kuangfeng, stop?" Shuangjian, who was wearing a full body armor, was not fast, but when Zhao Xu heard the voice, he pulled the rein of the horse a little and controlled the dismounting speed.

"Huh?" Zhao Xu looked back at the other party in doubt.

"Mr. Kuangfeng, after our discussion, we think it's better for you to keep this 'lead box' that contains the notebook." Frost Sword said.

Zhao Xu hesitated for a while after hearing this.

He noticed that Shuang Jian's face was sincere, and during this time together, the other party was not the kind of insidious and cunning person who retreated to advance.

Telling him like this may be giving him the sincerity.

"No, it's not too late to give me this notebook after you have harvested the wealth in the mage's tower." Zhao Xu declined.

He really wanted it. Under the stone room, he could confiscate this notebook as a senior investigator of the "Rose Cross".

On the premise that Andy's family, also known as the "Asa family", had a case of devil's blood, Zhao Xu's use of the investigator's full strength was in line with the norm.

"Mr. Kuangfeng, I am not suitable right now." Shuang Jian looked serious.

"Firstly, we believe in your character, Mr. Stormwind, and secondly, we may be targeted this time."

"So once a battle breaks out, it is very likely that someone will be taken away or the lead box will be robbed, and the most likely cause is death. Once dead, I can't determine the status of the final winner at the scene. I must choose to resurrect immediately, let' Leadbox 'back to Mystra's."

"And if you hold Mr. Stormwind, you can take the notebook with you because of your high survival rate. Even if you really can't beat it, you can also choose to transfer the item to my teammates and let them commit suicide and resurrect to send away the item. .” As if in order to persuade Zhao Xu to hold the lead box, Shuang Jian deliberately found a convincing reason.

That is to say, once the holder of Frost Sword died, even if Zhao Xu and the others won the battle, they would still have to go back home.

After Zhao Xu heard this, he frowned a little. It was indeed a critical moment of battle, and basically everyone didn't have time to worry too much, unless Zhao Xu was willing to tell the other party that he still had a "time retrospective talisman" to avoid this situation.

It's just that Zhao Xu has another "notebook" in his backpack now, and he doesn't want to make trouble at all. It will be merged directly in the backpack later, so where can he change it back to the original notebook for Shuangjian to read.

Especially the fact that the notebook has the blood of the Errol family to obtain this has already made him a little worried that the mage tower has similar requirements. When the notebook is fused, where will he find such a token.

After all, there is an extra layer of isolation in the underground stone room, and it also prevents the enemy from capturing the descendants of the Errol family to forcibly open the mage tower.

It's just that the notebook only vaguely mentions this aspect.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu said in relief: "Don't worry, you are really dead. If necessary, I will use embalming spells to delay your resurrection. Make sure that notebook won't go back to Mistra."

When most people die, naturally there is only one body left, and all the equipment will be picked up by the enemy.

However, due to the projection and the resurrection stone, once the player dies, there will be a period of consciousness coma, and only during this period, the player's body is still materialized, and the corpse can be searched.

Once the player's consciousness wakes up in the Temple of Creation, he can continue to wait for the body to be resurrected by magic, which can last up to ten days.

However, players generally choose the "resurrection stone" to resurrect.

As long as this is selected, the player's body will directly become an intangible body that cannot be touched, and will disappear after half an hour. This period of time is also the waiting period for the resurrection of the last "spell".

After half an hour has passed, the incorporeal body disappears, and the player will be resurrected and reappear near the temple. Therefore, Arthur will not appear in the body of two players at the same time.

When Zhao Xu was treating a classmate who was killed by a magic giant, all the people who fell to the ground at that time were in a faint state of incorporeal bodies, just waiting to be resurrected. Later, Zhao Xu was resurrected by a "miracle technique" group, and the natural incorporeal body turned into an entity, and at the same time the soul returned to its place.

And "corruption of corpses", the priest's second-level mage's third-level spell, can keep dead corpses for several days, thus delaying the resurrection time limit of "resurrection of the dead".

In the later stage, when everyone has more money or after using up the resurrection stone, they will often cast a "remains embalming" spell, and then carry it back to the temple in a big town to seek opportunities for resurrection spells.

It's just that after the player's priest level 3, the spell of "corruption" is often abused to plunder corpse equipment.

Once the player is cast this spell after death, they will be completely in a physical state instead of an incorporeal state, so they can be forcibly picked up and equipped. Only after half an hour is forced to resurrect, the body will disappear.

Half an hour is actually enough to do anything.

Especially after a few cases of players stripping off their equipment after successfully seeking vengeance and killing each other, and reviving the other party into a pauper, everyone became more vigilant about this spell.

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Shuang Jian thought that the other party was just avoiding him because he was afraid of suspicion, so he quickly comforted Zhao Xu and insisted on sending the lead box over.

And Zhao Xu had a reason why he couldn't take it for the time being, so he had to refuse again.

For a moment, the members of the watchmen's union looked at the two people who were pushing back and forth, feeling a little puzzled.

"Didn't the president send a lead box in the past? That thing is equivalent to half a mage's tower now? It looks like it's a bomb."

"Hey, this Blast Mage is too honest and reliable."

"Yes, it seems that we are really lucky to meet such an honest and reliable mage."

Just when the two shied away like this.

Investigating at the 18th level and listening at the 24th level, the strongest "Soul Prisoner" among all the people present suddenly stopped and looked at a place in the jungle. This change also made everyone concentrate and follow.

In the area ahead where the wormwood was overgrown and the line of sight was difficult to penetrate, there was the faint sound of weapons clashing.
