The Truth of Magic

Chapter 377

As Zhao Xu walked towards Antinoya's office in the obelisk, the amazing "history" that Vivian just described was echoing in his heart.

Appears mysteriously and disappears mysteriously.

It was more erratic than he had imagined, especially the fact that "Ernest" might not be dead shocked him deeply.

If the opponent appears, it means that the current power structure will definitely bring about changes. Even the current Sisilvina's status as the number one person in the magic field is bound to no longer be firm.

The most obvious impact is that the priesthood of magic and the power of godhead will be greatly suppressed when facing Ernest.

However, when Zhao Xu saw Antinoya, he found that he was discussing with four or five other male mages in the reception room outside.

Several of them looked even more serious, and the decibels of their voices were raised a bit.

"Others keep calling you Miss, and you think you are really Miss, and you can do whatever you want?"

"That secret legacy belongs to our Yitel family, and you are only a guardian, taking care of it temporarily."

The leading middle-aged mage even had veins popping up, and he accused Antinoya sharply.

The three or four people behind the middle-aged mage couldn't help standing up at this moment.

The youngest among them was pale, his limbs were thin, and he didn't know whether his body was hollowed out by wine or magic research. He coughed lightly and said, "Your new student is called Zhong Xia, right? Someone recognized him, and he was wearing the 'Star Cloak' in the family treasure house."

"You used to persuade the younger generation of our family to wait for the right time to reveal the hidden reserves of the lost family heritage. But now, what you have done is obviously not like this."

After the weak man finished speaking, the companions beside him also looked sullen.

It can be said that Antinoya, who has reached the realm of a legendary mage, has been the object of admiration of the juniors of their family since she was a child, and there are not a few of them who are admired just by listening to the voice.

And the title "Miss" was what some family elders called Antinoya. With the passing of these people, this name has been passed down, and even became the generalized name for Antinoya by the younger generation of Floating Void City.

It's only since three or four months ago, Miss Antinoya took in a player disciple.

These young people of the Yitel family found that everything had changed. Antinoya began to be absent from the family meeting that they had been attending every month without any interruption.

You know, their Yitel family, after the demise of the dynasty, was still able to sit in the top five of the Mystra hundred great mage families, relying on this kind of collective cohesion, how can it be so casual?

Not even a legendary mage, this was the sick man's initial thought.

As the elders of the family recalled the glory of the dynasty, they also longed for the restoration of the glory in their generation.

And they also know and understand the reason why the family heritage treasure house has not been used.

Who would have thought that the other party would hand over that incomparably precious "star cloak" to a novice mage without notifying the family.

Completely disregarding the family.

Do you really think that secret inheritance is her Antinoya's private property?

At this time, Antinoya noticed Zhao Xu's arrival, and waved his hand impatiently, signaling those people to back down.

Although the five visiting members of the Yitel family still have a lot to say in their hearts, they also know the "significance" of the obelisk itself, especially when the other party is a legendary mage, even if they can only rely on In the name of the family to restrain.

So when he saw Antinoya's gesture indicating that everyone could leave, the middle-aged man in the lead snorted coldly, and turned around and left honestly.

It wasn't until after walking far that the fat mage who followed behind murmured: "The elder of the family has checked the genealogy. She is not the sister of our founding king's ancestor at all. What kind of princess is she?"

Zhao Xu didn't expect that before he left, he would witness the dispute between Antinoya and the younger generation of the Yitel family behind him.

"Mentor?" Although Zhao Xu knew he didn't have to worry about it, he still couldn't help but care about him.

Antinoya shook her head, "I'm showing you a joke."

Zhao Xu felt relieved when he heard the other party's tone.

Antinoya didn't care about what happened just now in his tone.

If Zhao Xu hadn't heard the news from Vivienne, the succubus paladin beside him, he would have thought that Antinoya was really what the other party accused him of.

It's just that now it seems that it's not what the younger generations of the Iter family described.

"Mentor, what is the relationship between the Yitel family and you?"

At this time, Zhao Xu already knew that the title of "Miss" came from the fact that she was the descendant of Ernest, the king of Austrian law.

No one in the entire Floating Void City's top management has ever denied this identity.

It's not that she was once a princess of the Yitel Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, even though the Yitel Dynasty's skinny camel is bigger than a horse, it's not enough for people like Leian to also call her Missy.

Even the princesses of the first and last generations are not of sufficient status.

In particular, the treasury of the inheritance of the Yitel Dynasty is the "false vault" of Ernest's original secret collection.

The question is, how did this "fake library" become owned by the Yitel family, and even the young people in the family still care so much.

At this time, Zhao Xu also vaguely recalled that when he first called Antinoya, the other party's surname was indeed Yitel.

At this time, Antinoya was a little annoyed: "I'll have to look back to see how many people will jump out against me this time, just to drive away these white-eyed wolves at once."

White-eyed wolf?

Zhao Xu immediately skipped this word in his mind, and corresponding guesses arose accordingly.

"Zhong Xia, guess who used the name Yitel first?" Antinoya asked with a smile.

The time when Antinoya became famous can be traced back ten thousand years ago, and the Yitel Dynasty was only a thousand years ago.

"It must be you, the mentor." Zhao Xu answered without thinking at all.

"So."

Antinoya bit her lips lightly at this moment, "Those rookies, don't think that the glory of this surname itself comes from me."

"The founding father of the Ittle family used to be Ernest's coachman. Back then, he had no name and no surname. After he found a name named Joy, Ernest said that he still lacked a surname, so he let that The coachman and my surname, so I can be counted as a family."

"The coachman Joey in the back returned to his home country after thousands of years, only to find out that after he went out to make a living, his childhood sweetheart had been waiting for him in his hometown and never married until he died of old age."

"That's why Joey tried his best to revive his old and dead childhood sweetheart, and then spread branches and leaves with each other, and establish a dynasty and leave a legacy."

At this moment, Antinoya stood up and watched the snow falling outside the glass.

"In the beginning, I lent the secret inheritance, that is, the fake treasury itself to Joey. After the dynasty collapsed, Joey naturally returned the treasury to me intact, but he didn't tell the Yitel family about it... "

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Xu couldn't help opening his mouth slightly.

Doesn't this mean that what those young people were thinking just now is completely a personal imagination.

From the very beginning, this treasury of inheritance has no affiliation with the Joy who founded the dynasty.

That lost inheritance, the Yitel family can only really lose it.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. I'm afraid the younger generation who provoked Antinoya just now had already divided everything in the treasure house of the lost heritage in their hearts.

"Mentor, are you fishing?" Zhao Xu guessed.

Although a few people pointed their finger at him just now, Zhao Xu didn't care.

Now that he knew that these mage family members named Yitel had nothing to do with Antinoya, he didn't care much.

However, it was the first time that Zhao Xu felt the power of that Ernest intuitively.

Just by being a coachman for him, he will be able to live forever, and even thousands of years later, if he has a whim, he can still become the founding king of a generation of dynasties by relying on Yu Yin.

"fishing?"

Antinoya glanced at Zhao Xu lightly, "Naive."

"I already have the strength to overturn the entire chessboard, so I don't care how the chess pieces are distributed. On the contrary, their provocation makes me very interesting."

"They can't even guess the time of my appearance, which means that they have no contact with the oldest grave guards of the Yitel family. They are small fish and small shrimps, and they think they represent the new generation."

"And Zhong Xia, don't you think you are too stable in this floating city? Wouldn't a few more people who trouble you also promote your progress?"

Zhao Xu didn't expect Antinoya to have such thoughts.

If it weren't for the "succubus paladin" who stood silently beside him and devoted himself to guarding the door, Zhao Xu would have vomited bitterness with Antinoya.

Originally, this time he came to fight the autumn wind to see if he could get another magic item. Who would have thought that he would be reversed.

"Mentor, was this how you were raised?" Zhao Xu asked, trying to balance himself.

"How could it be? What my mentor did to me was rich and nourishing." Antinoya pouted softly, with a proud face.

As she spoke, she walked back to her spacious desk and pulled out a stack of thick parchment.

"Here, these are your appointment papers, the next route and some key points."

Zhao Xu took it smoothly.

Under the condition that the association prepaid the "+6 Intellectual Turban" as his salary, if he fails to do well, the association will definitely confiscate it.

And Zhao Xu also knew that he had to go on the last part of the journey himself. The association is also to let some nerdy mages understand the sufferings of the mortal world.

"There is a letter inside that you need to pass on to the leader of the Northern Alliance. And the city of Lucca you sent to is in the 'Principality of Xiluo' adjacent to the Northern Alliance. At present, frictions between the two sides occur from time to time. The border There are a bunch of refugees on the line, so you have to pay attention to yourself when you look back."

Antinoya told Zhao Xu that in ten days and a half a month, she would go to Falling Star Town to visit Zhao Xu in person to see how he was working.

"Then mentor, if it's gone, I'll start off right away?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Well, in fact, you still have a reward that has not been settled, and now it is pushed to my hands, and I will carry it out with you."

award?

To be called a reward by Antinoya, Zhao Xu couldn't help his heart beat faster.

At this moment, Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with a smile,

"Didn't you take the initiative to deal with the succubus priest for the church before?" Antinoya said, and glanced at the succubus paladin who was also standing in the corner.

It's just that Vivienne's expression remains the same.

"You were able to ignore life and death at the beginning, so the reward given to you is precisely to allow you to avoid a life-and-death accident."

"This is a spell that waits forever to be triggered, can you guess it?" Antinoya asked.

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Contract series?"

"Heh, you're pretty smart. It seems that the previous scroll space was not in vain."

Antinoya admitted: "The eight-ring magic spell 'death contract' costs 1,000 gold coins and diamonds."

Zhao Xu was even able to react faster to Antinoya's routine spell introduction later on.

The contract series of spells are one of the few spells that exceed the original "minute" and "round" level spell limits, and directly last forever until they are triggered.

It can be said that once you use it, you will benefit for life. It is a real "wake-up buff".

The only function of the spell was to automatically cast a "full resurrection spell" on him when he died.

So the temple rewarded Zhao Xu with one more life.

However, this "death contract" is naturally inferior to the resurrection stone.

Losing two points of physical attributes is the price of having the spell "death contract" on one's body.

"You can choose whether to accept this reward or not." At this moment, Antinoya smiled and looked at Zhao Xu.

And Zhao Xu didn't even think about it, "I definitely want it, don't want it for nothing."

With a physique of 14, he can still afford to lose 2 points of constitution.

Hearing what Zhao Xu said, Antinoya snapped his fingers and cast a spell.

As one wave after another of warm energy permeated in, Zhao Xu's panel information popped out of the frame.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia, you have been cast by Antinoya's eight-ring "death contract", seven-ring "recovery contract", and fifth-ring "martial contract" spells. 】

The first spell was okay, but the next two were somewhat beyond Zhao Xu's expectations.

"You are going to the war-torn place this time. Although the paladin will protect you, I'll add two protections to you. Anyway, it's just a one-off." Antinoya said calmly at this time.

For the "death contract" of the eighth ring, directly triggering the complete resurrection of the nineth ring can be said to be completely beyond the scope of the content.

And the latter "recovery contract" means that when he suffers more than ten negative states such as attribute damage or even poisoning, the spell will be directly triggered and take effect, and the negative effect will be removed on the spot.

Zhao Xu was equivalent to getting a chance to automatically offset the negative status.

The "Brave Contract" is triggered when his health is lower than half, and he will get 5 HP of life recovery per level, damage reduction of 5/magic, and immunity increase of 4 levels of luck.

At this time, Antinoya came over gently, and put his hand on Zhao Xu's shoulder for the first time, "Zhong Xia, come on, if you can find the secret under the Fallen Star Lake, I can grant you a wish."

Dozed off, let’s make do with 4K first, and update again tomorrow
