The Truth of Magic

Chapter 353 Caster Level 12

The gate tower of Mystra is extremely high, but since the day it was established, no human army has attempted to attack the city.

The stone city walls with a height of 100 meters on all four sides were transformed by the transformation spells cast by the legendary mages. With the blessing of the spells, they are stronger than the ordinary city walls made by hand.

It's just that for thousands of years, there has been no trace of war outside the city wall, and tranquility seems to be synonymous with this city.

So much so that the suspension bridge at the gate of the city has never been closed, and Mystra is one of the few cities that is still extremely prosperous at night and has no curfew.

After the three of Zhao Xu met at the city gate, they avoided the crowds, boarded a carriage waiting nearby, and drove directly towards the nearby Shuanglu Town, where the middle-aged woman was dressed by a witch old woman attacked.

The two wheels of the carriage bumped and bumped, and when they ran over the stones on the road, the wind chimes on the carriage also made a crisp bell collision sound.

Zheng Xinyun was obsessed with observing the rhythm of the scale, while Elton held the dagger in his hand tightly, taking deep breaths to adjust his emotions.

Those who don't know think they are going to perform a mission that must die.

Zhao Xu was thinking in his heart that since he wanted Zheng Xinyun and Elton to accept a "battle" of sufficient intensity, he would naturally have to improve himself so that he could suppress the risks that might occur next.

It was no fun for him to slap the old hag to death.

Frost Dew Town is not far from Mystra, and the horse-drawn carriage can reach it in about an hour.

Zhao Xu also began to seize this time and cast spells on himself.

He first released the prism-shaped orange-yellow Ion Stone in his pocket. Immediately, the Ion Stone was directly pulled by the traction for a few circles, and then began to hover above his head in a stable trajectory.

Zhao Xu's original caster level was level 6, but this time after the "cloak" ceremony and the blessing of the Ain stone, it was directly raised to level 8.

At the same time, he took out a ruby ​​with flaws and cracks, but was still worth 250 gold coins, and then clenched his fists tightly, as if it was about to be crushed.

It's just that Zhao Xu only has 8 strength, so he can't do anything to this ruby.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xu was as quick as blinking his eyes, and uttered a mysterious word full of magic power, while drawing patterns with his arms in the air.

Although the movements are a bit complicated, Zhao Xu swings extremely fast.

At the same time, he also activated his professional ability, adding it to the structure of the spell model.

Super magic control -

The spell lasts!

In an instant, a powerful magic power surged out of Zhao Xu's fist, shattering the ruby ​​he was holding on the spot.

The crimson powder fell from the gap between his fists like gravel on the floor of the compartment.

The overwhelming impact directly and violently invaded Zhao Xu's whole body.

While tearing his body, he tightly bound his motor nerves.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you use the "Super Magical Control" ability to offset the cost of increasing the level 6 spell slot, and the agility attribute suffers 6 points of damage. 】

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you cast the long-lasting "flesh sacrifice" spell, the physical attribute is reduced by 8 points, the caster level is increased by 4, and the duration: 24 hours (originally 1 round)]

The two reminders directly weakened Zhao Xu's physique and agility severely.

Immediately, his face became extremely pale, and the flesh on both cheeks was obviously sunken.

"Sir?" Both Zheng Xinyun and Elton couldn't help exclaiming.

Zhao Xu waved his hand in relief, indicating that he was fine.

It's just that his swinging speed is slow and stiff, as if an old man in his seventies or eighties is waving.

Using Metamagic Mastery to take a toll on his agility is what it should be.

And the 8 points of attribute damage to his physique is the price for him to increase the level of the caster.

The spell of physical sacrifice was used by Zhao Xu when he was in tune with Artoria.

After consuming rubies worth 250 gold coins, this mage's second-level spell can increase the caster's level by sacrificing physical attributes.

Zhao Xu, a level 8 caster, could sacrifice 8 points of physique, which had not yet reached the upper limit of 10 points of physical damage.

But for every 2 points of physical attributes sacrificed, he can upgrade the spellcaster by 1 level.

So Zhao Xu's caster level soared from level 8 to level 12 in an instant.

Generally speaking, for ordinary mages, when the character level is 6, it is generally a 6th level caster level.

Most of them have no access to the Ion Stone worth 36,000 gold coins, and the ritual circle that can increase the caster's level.

For Zhao Xu at this moment, level 12 was equivalent to doubling the level of the caster.

This means that some spells whose duration and damage power are determined by the level of the caster are equivalent to doubling.

But this spell doesn't talk about its status, even if it is made public at this time, there are very few users.

Because the spell of "corporeal sacrifice" has a fixed duration of 1 round except that it consumes expensive materials.

In 1 round, drinking saliva will pass directly, so this spell has always had a bad reputation.

It's just that it is a "personal" spell, which meets the "personal" or "fixed distance" format required by "spell persistence", so it can be affected by Zhao Xu's "spell persistence" specialty.

Its duration has changed from 1 round to a complete 24 hours, increasing to 14400 times the original duration.

Many spells that originally lasted for a fixed period of time are all extremely ordinary spells no matter how you look at them.

But after the blessing of "Spell Persistence", it directly possesses extraordinary power.

This is true of physical sacrifice, and so is ghost strike.

At this time, Zhao Xu cast the "Secondary Restoration Technique" on himself. This second-level priest's second-level magic spell is also a holy warrior's first-level magic spell.

It can remove the attribute impairment effect caused by magic, or heal 1-4 points of attribute.

Zhao Xu's first shot directly removed the physical damage caused by "corporeal sacrifice", and the second and third shots healed the cost of using the "super magic mastery" ability.

The spell of physical sacrifice cannot be cast when immune to attribute damage, so Zhao Xu can only bear the damage.

After consuming three first-ring magic slots, Zhao Xu's attributes finally returned to normal.

The success in exchange is also incomparably rich.

At the same time, for the next full 24 hours, he will have a full level 12 caster level, and the damage of throwing fireballs is twice as strong as that of a three-ring mage.

At this time, Zhao Xu also began to realize the way "An Tinoya" raised the caster level to above level 70.

His "corporeal sacrifice" was just an appetizer.

When his level is higher, the enhancement means he possesses will become more terrifying.

Especially after level 8, when he can cast the evil necromancy spell of the four-ring magical spell "Realm of Decay", he can increase his caster level by killing lives, and at that time he can directly increase his spellcasting level by 50 % as much.

It is very easy to soar to level 20 or above for a long time.

"Take off your armor," Zhao Xu said.

"Ah?" Zheng Xinyun blushed, and couldn't understand Zhao Xu's meaning for a while.

Zhao Xu, who realized that his words were ambiguous, chanted a spell on the spot.

"Crowd Mage Armor."

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you get the spell effect of "group mage armor", you get a "+4" level armor bonus, duration: 12 hours]

This time he cast an hour-level spell, so he didn't bless the spell to last, or the short-range spell itself couldn't last.

"Ah?" Neither of them knew what Zhao Xu was doing, but they could both feel that there was an invisible but faintly powerful armor around them.

"My spell is the group version of mage armor, so that the three of us can wear an invisible 'chain shirt'." Zhao Xu explained.

After thinking about it, he still gave up the third-ring "advanced mage armor" that can increase the bonus of Tier 6 armor, and released the "group mage armor" with the same third ring.

"Mr. Zhong Xia, that means I don't have to wear a chain mail shirt for these 6 hours?" Zheng Xinyun said.

After all, she didn't manipulate a game character verbally. The weight of wearing a chain armor shirt and the inconvenience of moving were all personal experiences.

Players don’t like to wear a backpack or a mask on the earth, so it’s not for the defense and the sense of security in the face of monsters. Most people don’t wear armor just for nothing.

"Correct, it's 12 hours."

The duration of a ring of "mage armor" is 1 hour per caster level, which is basically known to everyone.

12 hours, means 12 caster level.

Immediately, both eyes were fixed on Zhao Xu.

"I just raised the caster level, and you can do it in the future." Zhao Xu explained with a gentle smile.

It's just that Elleton looked at Zhao Xu with more respect when he heard this.

How easy is it to raise the caster level?

Born in a mage family, he understood far better than Zheng Xinyun next to him how rare the means to increase the level of a spellcaster were, and each of them was extremely difficult to obtain.

"Do you know why I want to increase your defense?" Zhao Xu began to induce the two of them.

"Because the opponent's melee attack is very strong?" Elton tried to answer.

"That's right."

Zhao Xu raised two fingers while talking, "The old hag has at least level 12 melee attack ability, which can tear armor and flesh with force. That's why I changed you to an invisible force field armor .”

At this time, Zheng Xinyun was already taking off the chain armor shirt other than the sacrificial robe. Anyone who carries a load of more than 20 catties is not a small burden.

"On the other hand, the opponent has spell-like abilities. The most important ones are the 'weakening ray' that can weaken the power, the 'magic missile' that can cause damage, and the 'sleep spell' that can be used to control it." Zhao Xu He snapped his fingers and said.

"And the level of the opponent's spell-like caster is nearly 8, so the missile can reach 4, each with 2-5HP damage."

At this time, Elleton couldn't help but turn pale, "Magic Missile, I'm afraid it can kill me in seconds."

Sleep spell and weakening ray, in the final analysis, are to control spells, and let them leave the battlefield.

Only "Magic Missile", this spell aimed at anyone, can instantly kill him and Zheng Xinyun on the spot.

Zhao Xu almost laughed out loud when he heard that, "I asked you to take risks, not to send you to death."

As he spoke, he took out four things from his backpack and threw them in front of the two of them.

They are the "shield spell" magic scroll, shield pin, protection staff, and a "lesser spell immunity" spell introduction.

"These are means of resisting magic missiles."

Sorry, there are so many waiting for me to update, I have been entangled in a spell card for a long time, and now I feel deeply guilty, next time I will not set the time flag, and I will start to apologize at three o'clock in the evening.
