The Truth of Magic

Chapter 354 Battle Choice

"This golden pin is a 'shield pin', which can absorb the energy of 101HP magic missiles when pinned on the chest."

"And this protective staff can cast the 'shield technique' while holding it in your hand."

"This paper of 'Secondary Spell Immunity' does not have any magical power, it is just for you to understand this spell, because I can cast this spell to make you immune to 'Magic Missile'."

"As for the final 'shield' magic scroll, it allows you to cast this spell by yourself."

Zhao Xu explained the purpose and significance of these things in a few words.

After all, the shield spell, a ring spell, can increase the shield bonus by a full 4 ranks in defense, which is comparable to the "scale shirt" worn by Zheng Xinyun or Zhao Xu's "mage armor" spell.

It also has a powerful use, which is to make the subject immune to the magic missile spell.

Under the threat of the old hag's four magic missiles being enough to knock down any level 1 civilian, it is of key significance.

"Which method are you going to use?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Captain, how much is this pin?" Elton stretched out his finger, picked up one of the pins, and held it in front of his eyes, carefully observing the light outside the screen window of the carriage.

"1500 gold coins." Zhao Xu estimated the price marked on the pin when he borrowed it from the Mage Association.

If he returned it as it was, with his shining mithril badge status, naturally he would not have to pay any price.

Although Elleton still has a lot of wealth in his own family, his fingertips still trembled slightly when he heard this sentence, and he almost didn't clenched it tightly.

The shield pin, which can only resist magic missiles and has a relatively limited use, costs 1,500 gold coins, which is somewhat beyond the imagination of the two of them.

"This pin naturally has its own meaning. For ordinary shield spells, the spell duration is 1 minute per level." Zhao Xu explained.

The current players, generally level 1 mages, can only last for 1 minute if they cast the "shield technique".

Zhao Xu, a level 12 caster, could make the spell last for 12 minutes, which was still very short.

But he can limit the scope of this effect to "self" spells, and apply "spell duration" to directly last for a whole day.

It was also because the "shield technique" was limited to the sorcerer who could only cast it on himself, not his teammates like the sorcerer's armor, so Zhao Xu had to provide these things.

After listening to Zhao Xu's question, Elton pondered for a while, "Then I'll choose to use a scroll."

"Why?" Zhao Xu asked immediately.

Elleton rubbed his head in embarrassment, "On the one hand, the scroll itself is the cheapest, compared to the energy-consuming spells of the staff, the single cost is not much less than the consumed 'shield pin'. "

"On the other hand, I think you want to test us, captain. If this is the case, it would lose its own meaning if you let the captain cast immunity spells on us."

Zhao Xu was noncommittal after listening, and turned to look at Zheng Xinyun.

"I?"

Although Zheng Xinyun hasn't been in contact with the game content for a long time, through the introduction of her best friend, she began to understand that this is probably the legendary "test" from the NPC.

It is even related to whether their players can unlock "advanced" and "expertise", and the key to obtaining inheritance.

Players who do not have any blood relationship to rely on can only unlock more content by relying on the appreciation of Arthur NPC.

At this time, the thoughts in her mind kept bursting out and reorganizing.

Zheng Xinyun already wants to play this game of "Arthur" well, and the resilience in her nature has also begun to germinate.

She didn't want to waste this opportunity to answer easily.

And Zhao Xu felt a little strange looking at Zheng Xinyun's meditation.

Because no matter what Zheng Xinyun answered, she would not be vetoed by Zhao Xu.

Compared with Elleton next to him, Zheng Xinyun can be said to be his "own person", so the treatment is naturally even different.

Just when Zhao Xu was about to give some hints, Zheng Xinyun said slowly, "I will choose 'Secondary Spell Immunity'."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Xu, as if there were sparkling blue waves in her eyes, "To be honest, I'm not sure that I can use the magic scroll of 'Shield Technique' smoothly, and in terms of value, the shield technique is worthless." The shield technique itself is a mage's arcane technique, and now it appears in the form of a scroll of divine magic, I am afraid that it is expensive in itself."

"At the same time, the duration of the spell is also very important. In addition to the fact that the pin can be worn all the time, the core of the scroll and the staff is still the shield spell, so it cannot escape the limit of the minute-level duration. And the 'times' written on this paper Level 1 spell immunity' introduction, the duration is 10 minutes per level, combined with the captain, you can last for a full two hours at level 12, which is enough to cover the period of time we contacted that old hag."

After hearing this analysis, Zhao Xu also nodded.

The magic scroll "Shield Technique" was naturally copied by Zhao Xu in a quiet room nearby at noon.

After reaching level 6, coupled with the "life energy" fed back from the "Item Demon Pet" cloak, he did not feel any distress when he copied the scroll.

He can afford it, and he doesn't have to copy it by hand, he can use the "automatic shorthand quill". Recently, Zhao Xu has been copying a scroll from time to time to enrich his reserves and prevent spell slots from being consumed completely. powerless situation.

Zhao Xu was quite satisfied with Zheng Xinyun's current answer.

In her previous life, after Zheng Xinyun had no hope of becoming a priest, the abilities she acquired during the apprentice priest stage lost her professional support and gradually faded away.

Later, after the two got acquainted and reunited, Zheng Xinyun paid more attention to running the family business, and planned to slowly help Zhao Xu develop a family with a solid foundation.

Basically, she didn't express any opinions on fighting. But after Zhao Xuchu heard these words, he already understood that the opponent's pre-battle analysis was basically qualified.

Although Zheng Xinyun's current analysis is still very simple, in fact, the mage priest is going to make countless such analysis decisions in the blink of an eye.

Compared with the warrior profession, I laugh from the sword, the kind of momentum that goes forward and does it.

Mage and Priest need to consider the battle details and make too many battle choices.

"Well, when we get to the destination, I'll give you the 'Level Immunity to Magic'." Zhao Xu made his next arrangement, "At the same time, you also bring the pin."

"ah?"

Looking at the surprised gazes of the two, Zhao Xu explained, "If you don't wear it for nothing, life is always more than 1,500 gold coins."

Of course, it goes without saying that a native Arthur like Elleton only had one life.

Zheng Xinyun, who could be resurrected, hadn't realized it yet. If there were other players present, they would definitely complain about Zhao Xu's words. They could die and leave the 1,500 gold coin shield pin.

According to the current poverty line of players, basically they would rather sacrifice the five resurrection stones in their account than waste 1500 gold coins.

Even if the account can be directly and permanently banned to get this gold coin, this deal is worthwhile.

In fact, after all, the duration of the shield technique was too short, otherwise Zhao Xu would have suggested that the two of them use the staff to bless themselves with the "shield technique". The fourth level of shield defense improvement is real.

Like him, Zhao Xu, who had cast the "shield technique" of long-lasting spell blessing on himself before going out, superimposed on the "mage armor" just now, and Zhao Xu, who had improved his armor by 8 levels in total, was a bit tough up.

Unless ordinary players are wearing magic armor, a top-notch full-body armor is only a level 7 defense, and there are restrictions on wearing and armor flexibility.

Moreover, under the influence of Zhao Xu's ability, these two spells lasted extremely long, making Zhao Xu's current defensive ability already considered to be among the top players.

Even ordinary level 1 players who have just entered the game have little chance of winning against Zhao Xu with a "fine sword".

Because if the opponent stabbed casually, it would be blocked by Zhao Xu's force field armor and force field shield.

At this moment, Zhao Xu, after possessing the professional ability of "super magic control", finally started to stack his own "static defense" ability.

Among other things, at least "Mage Armor" and "Shield Technique" can become his wake-up buffs.

The maintenance time of this static defense is long enough to cover most of his time.

At the same time, the carriage was also babbling and rolling its wheels, constantly moving towards the destination.

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and the coachman in front was seriously posing for the horse in front of him, and he didn't distract himself from asking him.

"Is there anything unusual?" Zhao Xu was keenly aware of the coachman's situation and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, my lord. I just feel that there are fewer people on this post road than usual." The coachman frowned.

"Isn't that possible?" Elleton said immediately, "The surrounding area of ​​Mystra is very safe. Generally speaking, powerful monsters dare not approach easily."

Remembering that Arthur's largest breeding species, goblins, had been attacked twice before when he went out, Zhao Xu just curled his lips and did not refute.

Well, those experiences counted as bad luck for him.

"However, Master Mage, there have been rumors of ghosts in Shuanglu Town recently. The church sent a pastor to check it out, but nothing unusual was found. However, it is true that there have been fewer people in business travel to exchange things recently. I don't know if it is true. This is the reason." The coachman immediately chatted about his usual experience.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu subconsciously signaled his "Soul Prisoner" undead creature to come closer.
