The Truth of Magic

Chapter 562 Mage Seed, the Saint Comes Down to Earth

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xu's mind was shaken on the spot.

Unexpectedly, even the "Ernest's Secret Vault", which searched the endless wealth of the entire continent in Arthur's ancient times, and laid the groundwork for the final collapse of the extremely powerful magic empire that made all Arthur's forces dormant and did not dare to take the lead, was Is it just a gimmick?

Not to mention, behind the real treasury of "secret treasury", Antino Yaming also had a "fake treasury" on his face.

The treasures stored inside are less than one-tenth of the real library, which is the "lost heritage" of the Yitel Dynasty.

Zhao Xu once followed Antinoya, called her sister, passed the test of the "activated cellar" that guarded the heritage, and was allowed to enter it.

Zhao Xu's "Star Cloak" was obtained there.

And he still remembered that in the No. 1 treasure room, he was so dazzled by the shelves full of artifacts that he almost couldn't keep his eyes open.

Now Antinoya actually told him so bluntly that even Zhenku was a cover.

The real value lies in this seemingly powerful "Mage Association", which is actually full of hills inside. The giants each have a certain basic disk and barely gather together under the leadership of the president.

This is also the reason why the Mage Association has mastered nearly 90% of Arthur's mage casters, but it has not really crushed everything to rebuild the magic empire.

Among the major national forces, who doesn't have a relative of a legendary mage? Countless forces spend a lot of money every year to let their descendants go to Mystra to study, just for this kind of continuation.

Otherwise, in the association, there would be no such independent organizations as "Final Scroll", "Arcane Alliance", "Spell Guard", "Rose Cross" and so on.

"Teacher, is there any crucial secret in the Mage Association?" Zhao Xu asked.

Facing this question, Antinoya shook his head lightly, and instead changed the topic and said, "Zhong Xia, what level do you think the common Mage Arthur's power is?"

Although Zhao Xu didn't know why Antinoya spoke like this, he still followed his own knowledge system, "It's like the five rings and above, it's rare to show up. For some remote small countries, a seven ring mage is enough to influence the power Hereditary alternation."

Zhao Xu said it very bluntly. In fact, above Arthur, there are only a few powers like the Eastern Empire, the Northern Alliance, and the Principality of Xiluo that have more than a dozen or even dozens of large cities, and more of them occupy an area to separate and govern themselves. It's just a small principality.

In many cases, there are even only a few temple churches of one or two mid-level and high-level gods in a small country, and the beliefs of the entire small country tend to tend to the same god.

It's not like Oulu, the capital of the Northern Alliance, has no less than ten churches of gods built in the city.

Legendary mages are more like unborn powerhouses.

I usually do magic experiments in my mage tower or demiplane, occasionally accept apprentices, or simply experience life and live in seclusion in some small villages.

According to legend, there are two legendary mages and three nine-ring mages living in seclusion in a certain village hundreds of kilometers away from Mystra. miserable experience.

It is already great luck to even die smoothly.

Generally speaking, many local forces hide powerful spellcasters whose age exceeds the life limit. Only when serious dynasty changes are involved, will they be seen faintly.

"Mentor, according to your original words, are you going to lend me the secret inheritance of the Yitel dynasty to help me establish Yanan?" Zhao Xu returned to the center.

"Naturally." Antinoya nodded, "But there are conditions."

Speaking of which, Antinoya gently pressed Zhao Xu's shoulder, as if it was a half-time award.

"I need you to build a magic academy in Yanan and start recruiting apprentices."

"And you don't have to worry about teachers, I will arrange the hidden power of the association to help. The key to the problem is—"

"Shengyuan?" Zhao Xu immediately realized.

"That's right." Antinoya stood on the hill, facing the noisy wind in the valley, making her cloak rattle.

"This time, we need seeds."

"It is related to a crucial plan of ours. We need to re-train a group of new mages who are extremely clean and pure from beginning to end. The earth's traversers are exactly the category of our children. Only they are satisfied from beginning to end. Infection, don't worry about being infiltrated into the sand by other forces."

After all, there are only a few people who can pass through the material energy channel like Antinoya and May before crossing.

Speaking of which, Antinoya's eyes seemed to be staring at Zhao Xu under the same sky through the long river of time.

"Are you so cautious that you don't even trust teaching in Mistra? Even teacher, you already represent the mage association?" Zhao Xu asked in a cautious tone.

"That's right." Antinoya nodded, "When you visited a student who was on leave at home in Mystra's Civilian Academy, didn't you discover that this student who had been trained as a mage in Floating Void City , became a semi-purgatory creature, and became the target before entering the floating city."

"The Floating Void City is too big to block the prying eyes and gazes of others."

"Divine power, after all, is a purer power above spells, capable of accomplishing many unimaginable miracles."

"Is it just me, among the billions of people, picking the seeds of mage apprentices?" Zhao Xu asked.

He has already realized that there must be a huge plan behind this, and a group of mages with pure backgrounds are needed as a backup force.

Just like the constituent elements of legendary spells.

Generally, the power of a legendary spell is linked to the difficulty of casting it. If you don't want to die, you can set up an unsolvable "legendary spell", but this requires a huge amount of "spell recognition" to cast it.

If the identification level is not enough, then it is necessary to manually reduce the difficulty of casting spells. The means include adding the legendary "cold fire" material that is elusive, and also bearing the cost of recoil or increasing the casting time.

There was once a legendary mage who had researched a world-destroying legendary spell, but so far no legendary mage has been able to successfully challenge the one-thousand-year casting time and insist on casting a spell for a whole thousand years.

Finally, to sum up, the most useful for legendary mages, and the one that can stabilize the spell structure and increase the success rate, is to allow spellcasters with nine rings and below to contribute spell slots and assist in spellcasting together

And the more people there are, the more stable the whole state will be, and even form the legendary magic of the ring.

So Zhao Xu guessed that what Antinoya needed was such a "spell" or even a "ritual" that involved a huge number of mages.

"Then mentor, shouldn't you start doing it earlier?"

At this moment, Zhao Xu had already seen that the Earth traversers who had just gathered below because of their appearance had caused a commotion inside, and many of them turned their heads and looked in another direction.

On another hill in the distance, a cavalry regiment rushed forward with billowing smoke and dust.

Looking at the divine pattern flag raised by the cavalry regiment, it was obvious that the knights under the God of Justice and Punishment, Cooper, were dispatched to rescue the disaster. They traveled thousands of miles to come here through the teleportation circle to deliver food.

and faith.

For Arthur's main gods, they have reached the point of immortality, and unless there is a disaster at the level of Ragnarok, they will not fall because of this.

However, the other gods below the main god determine their own divine power depending on the breadth of believers.

For example, if Antinoya doesn't like a certain weak god, he can completely frame the opponent's believers, and if he uses legendary spells to wipe out all the opponent's believers in one fell swoop, he can shatter the kingdom of the weak god in the outer interface. The body of the god fell and drifted in the star realm.

Therefore, this disaster on the earth is also a "feast of faith" for Arthur's gods.

As for who can harvest more beliefs, it depends on their own abilities.

This is also the reason why the gods spared no effort to pour a lot of power into the wild and dead land.

"Mine is a little different."

Antinoya was obviously very confident, "What I need is an elite mage, not a mix of good and bad believers."

"Even if you can only find one for me one day, as long as he can firmly believe in magic without betraying or being tempted by higher powers, that's enough."

"So, mentor, you entrusted me with this task? And I'm the only one?" Zhao Xu asked.

"It's definitely not." Antinoya smiled, "There are also trusted candidates looking for, but you must be the most important part."

"Because you can seamlessly connect and continuously teleport on this continent. I also need your ability to continue infinitely."

"Moreover, the key to this task is to keep it secret, and not to attract anyone's attention. So some mages are only entrusted to perform for a period of time, and even serve as a small part of the transit environment, such as picking up individuals. I don’t even know what the ultimate goal is.”

"Furthermore, there is also a group of mages sent by Mystra in the wild dead land at the moment, and they are also selecting suitable magic apprentices for the floating city. They will attract all the attention on the bright side."

"Only you know everything and will be involved in it all this week."

At this moment, Zhao Xu watched the priest of the god of justice getting closer to the paladin below, and realized that he and Antinoya had to leave this place.

He couldn't help asking, "Teacher, you have spent so much time laying out this layer of isolation, which makes me even more curious about what kind of plan these seed mages are for."

"Listen, don't regret it." Suddenly Antinoya smiled happily.

"How is that possible?" Zhao Xu was very confident.

"I once told you that July, when God was absent, was the prophecy given by May, but none of us guessed that something went wrong with the kingdom of the gods."

"Midsummer, this time the gods intervened in the wild dead land and contacted the Earth traversers with an intensity that may exceed your imagination."

"The Holy One is not far away."
