The Truth of Magic

Chapter 368 Dominating Human Beings

After seeing the young man asking back, Zhao Xu turned his head and scanned around, and found that there was indeed no one else within five meters of him.

That sentence was exactly what he was asked.

He couldn't help thinking to himself, did he have such a mocking face?

The cavalry from the day before yesterday was like this, and they rushed towards him without any explanation. Entering the burnt old house, the old hag raised her hand to attack without saying a word.

Is there no place in this world to be reasonable?

At the beginning, Zhao Xu chose a relatively remote and quiet corner, which was also close to the escape exit of the back door of the tavern and the side windows, which was convenient for escape.

At this time, under the dim light of the lamp, his whole body was like a faint shadow, which he could not see very clearly.

But his words immediately cooled down the place, as if the tavern, which was blown by the cold wind outside, instantly became hot.

Everyone was expecting someone to stand up and criticize the unreasonable appearance of the young man in fine clothes.

Many people even miss the player group that can be seen everywhere in Mystra. As fearless, they are also the most daring to challenge the powerful. Of course, the end will not be good.

It's not like the players who come to Shuanglu Town now, each of them has a task in hand, and they retreat faster than the residents of Shuanglu Town when encountering storms.

"I'm just sitting on my ass." Zhao Xu said calmly.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire tavern were focused on him, but it didn't feel the slightest to him.

As soon as this remark came out, the young man in fine clothes immediately looked away, torturing a poor boy is not his ability.

As soon as Zhao Xu just sat down, he felt that the adventurers who had approached with wine glasses had consciously turned their bodies to the other side, as if they couldn't drink down facing him.

The originally admiring gaze seamlessly switched to a look of contempt.

If it weren't for the still prestige of the young man in Chinese clothes, I'm afraid some people would have ridiculed him for not daring to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

It's just that no one knew that Zhao Xu was already planning his spell arrangement at this moment.

It's not that he wants to do something, but that since Zhao Xu's intelligence has reached its peak, his thoughts will unconsciously make plans for the next possibilities.

The entire tavern was densely populated, and the Washington youth was followed by a seemingly powerful mage and four guards who also had two or three professional levels.

From their point of view, Zhao Xu couldn't use the intense range spell immediately.

Although everyone in the tavern saw the domineering behavior of the young man in Chinese clothes, they didn't dare to speak out.

But once someone does this kind of thing, it will immediately be a surge of enthusiasm and a thunderous situation.

So for him, it is unwise to directly cast a stinking cloud spell that covers the entire tavern.

Like those guards, Zhao Xu thought that his three-ring extended spell "Ma Youfu Unicorn Arrow" should work well.

This spell shot out like a ray. Zhao Xu was currently a level 12 spellcaster. Compared with just one at level 5, he could already summon three rays.

At the same time, the spell itself ignores saving throws and spell resistance, as long as it hits, it can cause damage, and it also has a collision effect.

Once the three guards were made to stand unsteadily, the surrounding tavern guests who were fighting against each other were likely to attack them, including the Sword Disease team who was directly dragged into the water and could only fight back brazenly.

From the fact that the opponent immediately tore up the mission contract and gave up the entrustment, it can be seen that he is definitely the kind of person who is decisive in battle.

As for the sorcerer, it's a pity that Zhao Xu couldn't use the five rings' "mentally handicapped technique" that could weaken his intelligence to 1 point, which was designed to defeat sorcerers without eyes.

So he was also analyzing the weakness of the mage in front of him, thinking about what spells to use to deal with him.

This is also the reason why the player group was often frustrated at the beginning after they came into contact with Arthur's mage profession.

Like a warlock, a profession that masters six spells per ring and is closer to the original image of a "mage" in online games is fine.

As for real mages, as the number of spells they learn increases, the factors that need to be considered when making decisions become more complicated.

Although they are also limited by the point of preparing spells, they more or less start to use scrolls as one-time items to make up for their flexibility.

But most of them still use some fixed routines in the process of preparing spells, and strive to adapt to all changes with the same.

Naturally, he couldn't be as flexible as Zhao Xu.

At this moment, the young man in Washington looked at the Sword Fighting team and remained silent, not yielding to his request, but unable to oppose him blatantly.

He sneered and waved at the mage behind him, "Then your teammate voluntarily attached to me, isn't it shameful for you?"

Hearing this, in the Jianji squad, several members who were in love with the ranger Latil, all held the weapons in their hands tightly at the moment, but they didn't speak to Mo Luo, they could only die Dead wait.

Because everyone knows that this is not a personal honor, but is already related to the life and death of the entire team.

Suddenly, the mage directly raised the mysterious scepter in his hand and paused lightly.

It made everyone think that the other party was about to make a move, and couldn't help being shocked.

It's just that all of this fell into silence immediately, just like Zhao Xu, who just held it uncomfortable and changed his position.

However, the female ranger Latil, who was wearing a chain mail shirt and couldn't hide her figure, suddenly stood up, and the composite longbow she was holding was released and fell on the stone bricks. on the floor.

Weapons, which are usually cherished with great care, are now discarded as if they are worthless.

Her eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and she just passed the friend beside her and walked over step by step.

Until he came to the side of the young man in fine clothes, Latil just sat down obediently and leaned against him.

This sudden reversal of the scene made it impossible for everyone present to understand.

According to their thinking, casting spells should not be chanting spells, and they didn't see any communication with Nalatir from anyone present.

Why did she suddenly act like this?

"What demon method did you use just now?" The soldiers in the team suddenly became furious, stood up and glared at the young man in Chinese clothes and the mage, but his tone was not very strong, and he didn't dare to bite him to death.

"Obviously your teammates couldn't bear to cause conflicts between you and me because of me, so they came here to serve me." The young man in Huafu smiled, leaned back even more, and found a more Comfortable location.

At this moment, the woman Latil also nodded obediently, as if she agreed with the other party's statement, and the look in her eyes changed a little bit.

Zhao Xu, who was standing in the distance, was also a little surprised by this.

He didn't expect that he was really in an ordinary tavern, and he could see someone cast the five-ring spell "Dominate Human Beings".

Sure enough, when the drought died, and when the water was flooded, it was difficult for the adventurers to get the five-ring spell, so they used it casually in a tavern just to fight for the wind and jealousy.

He didn't even think about it at all, although at first everyone didn't see the priest's sacrificial robe on him because of the angle of the shadow, but it was arrogant enough to be so swaggering.

"Dominate Humans" is also the bard's four-ring arcane art, so Zhao Xu can use it smoothly when he masters the four-ring magic, without having to wait until level 9.

Spell duration is measured in days.

It can be said that a five-ring spell directly attracts a boy who has been obedient for at least ten years. The only flaw is that this spell can only be cast on "humanoid creatures". If it is to be effective on monsters, it must be at the nine-ring level "Dominate the Monster".

As for the fact that Latil walked over without any order, Zhao Xu knew the reason.

Because this spell communicates with a mind link, unless you can't speak the language, you can only use simple verbal commands.

As long as he suffers from this spell, the other party will go all out to obey the order of the ruler, and will not do other things except eating and drinking necessary for life.

Therefore, after getting along for a long time, "Dominate Human Beings" is easier to see through than other enchantment spells.

It's just that now the mage obviously used a special method to cover up the "spell" and "posture" of his own spellcasting, which directly confused the Jianji team, unable to insist that their teammates were affected by the spell.

And in just a few seconds, everyone couldn't analyze too much.

Zhao Xu could only shake his head at this. A "dominating human being" with five rings on the earth would be enough to cause chaos in the world.

Even in Arthur, these "confusion control" spells are not small, and half of the reputation of mages is due to these spells.

Commanding people's hearts and modifying memory is some kind of "taboo" after all.

"Forget it, since your teammates are willing to sacrifice themselves to serve me, then I will let you guys who don't have eyesight look good. Give that thing to our family later, and bring your teammate back by the way." The young man in Huafu said. He pinched the face of the woman beside him, laughed and stood up.

As for the members of the Jianji team, especially the teammates who just chatted and joked with Latil just now, they were all flushed with blood at the moment, and their faces turned blue looking at this scene, but there was nothing they could do.

In other words, under the invisible coercion of the mage family, they were unable to move at all.

They did guess that Latil might be controlled by spells, but this kind of guessing would only lead to a more exaggerated guess.

This mage has been able to reverse people's hearts silently.

However, at this moment, a "ghost hand" that could cast "contact" spells in the air instead of the caster appeared under the mage's stool out of thin air, which was extremely hidden and no one knew about it.

At the same time, Zhao Xu, who had been saving up for a long time, stood up abruptly and made the stool behind him slam for the second time.

He raised the "Super Magic Instant Scepter" in his hand and pointed his sword forward.

He was not sympathetic to the wretched experience that would befall the woman.

He is also not a member of the Jianji squad who pity those beloved ones who were taken back and dare not fight back.

He just didn't like it.

Anyway, tonight's auction was messed up, so there was no need for Zhao Xu to save his spells for the new year.

"Ma Youfu Unicorn Arrow!"

On the top of the smooth scepter, a ball of mysterious energy surged instantly, and it directly turned into three transparent unicorns emitting faint light and galloping forward. They lowered their heads and kept vigilant about the surrounding The guards charged away.

The mage also woke up suddenly, and he immediately looked back at the entire tavern, staring at the enemy who suddenly attacked.

It's just that he didn't notice that the "ghost hand" climbed up behind him so silently.

"Shivering touch!"

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you use the second-level spell "Ghost Hand" to cast the third-level contact spell "Shivering Touch" on the opponent. 】

[The spell ignores the saving throw and spell resistance, causing 12 points of agility damage (3D6), the target's agility returns to zero, and falls into a helpless state, time: 12 rounds]
