The Truth of Magic

Chapter 57 Howard Convenience Bag

Zhao Xu took the backpack and touched it with both hands. It was of good quality, and it was still made of tanned leather, with some brass buckle accessories on it.

Dimensional bag or something?

Zhao Xu's heart couldn't help but start beating. His 8 points of natural strength determined that his own weight was limited.

At least he could feel that his strength was weaker than his real body.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu chose the wise spellcaster in the first place. He carried a pile of thick spell books on his back every day. Without a dimension bag, no one could stand it.

Zhao Xu quickly raised his head and looked at Antinoya, "Teacher, this is?"

"Huh?" Antinoya asked. "Among the people present, I am not the only spellcaster."

Zhao Xu reacted immediately.

Identification technique!

The identification technique allows him to directly know the functional properties of magic items.

Zhao Xu looked at Antinoya in shock. He did prepare the identification technique.

It's just how did Antinoya know?

Looking at Zhao Xu's confused eyes, Antinoya sneered slightly, and asked softly: "Sometimes I think you are born with knowledge, and sometimes I think you are too stupid, you are already a mage, You have to use the thinking of a mage."

"Could it be that you think that mages rely on guesswork before the battle, and many basic ideas need to be reflected directly. Especially what the opponent's spell slots have prepared and how many are left, you must be aware of it."

Zhao Xu knew that Antinoya was teaching him by example, so he nodded quickly.

As long as he knows the level of a mage, he can indeed estimate the intelligence of the opponent, and thus know the extra spell slots brought by intelligence.

Coupled with the spell slots brought by the professional level, basically a mage can guess how many spell slots he has.

"But mentor, obviously—"

"Obviously, the first-level spell of Appraisal is not a priest magic, but a first-level spell in the magic field. How did I guess that you just happened to prepare this spell?"

Hearing Antinoya express his thoughts directly, Zhao Xu nodded quickly.

Unexpectedly, Antinoya stopped talking, and went straight to the soft chair and sat down, "Think about the rest yourself, if you can't think of a reward, take it back."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu quickly calmed down.

Antinoya was very good to him, and deliberately bluffed him in some things.

But she has never said anything different about things like taking back rewards.

It was only after being exposed to the priest's magic that Zhao Xu had a clearer concept.

Some spells are arcane spells rather than divine spells, such as level 1 spell identification.

So Zhao Xu couldn't use the priest's magical position to prepare.

But this spell is one of the nine spells in the magic domain, so Zhao Xu can use one domain spell slot for each level of priest to prepare.

It's just that there are three domains, namely magic, planning, and knowledge.

The corresponding 1st-level spells that can be prepared are Identification, Fate, and Detect Secret Doors.

In the case of choosing one of the three, Antinoya directly guessed that he would definitely prepare the identification technique instead of anything else?

Slowly, Zhao Xu blushed.

Although he couldn't see Antinoya's expression under the hood, Zhao Xu could guess the smile on his face.

Among mages, there is no one to fool.

He didn't participate in the battle, so naturally he didn't need to prepare the life-watching technique to judge whether the creature was dead. He didn't venture into the basement, and he wasn't prepared to detect secret doors, an exploratory spell.

The biggest possibility left is the identification technique.

In addition, Antinoya was still short of giving him a loot, so the possibility would be pushed to 100%.

Zhao Xu quickly lowered his head, "Teacher, then I'll cast the spell."

It is one thing for someone to give you something, but it is directly guessed that you are waiting for someone to give it to you.

Even Zhao Xu, who was thirty years old at heart, couldn't help but blush.

"Try to see how to cast a spell with a long casting time." Antinoya said lightly.

Zhao Xu nodded, found a comfortable place to sit down, looked at the backpack in his hand, and began to prepare to cast a spell.

Just as soon as he raised his hand, he was startled.

Material!

Just like casting colorful spray requires a handful of colored powder, identification also requires materials.

"You reach into the right pocket of your backpack and feel." Antinoya reminded at the right time.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he hurriedly reached out to explore.

Through a void, he pulled out a pearl.

At the same time, under the effect of the spell, a glass of wine with owl feathers floated in front of his eyes and landed gently on the table.

Simple holding powder is different than colorful spray.

The identification technique uses the spell-casting material, which is to crush the 100GP pearl, pour it into the wine, stir it with owl feathers, and drink it.

One less step in the link may cause the spell to fail.

Obtaining a magic item, most players are also surprised and delighted.

The good news is that as long as it is a magic item, it is generally worth a lot of money.

But if you want to really use magic items, you need to find someone to appraise them, but you have to add 100 gp of material fees on top of the service fee.

Therefore, most players are groping for themselves and making do with it.

If you are poor, you have to succumb to reality.

Zhao Xu patiently followed the steps of the spell step by step. After drinking the stirred wine, he took a deep breath and began to chant the spell in a low voice.

The identification technique is not a spell that can be completed with a "ding" like in ordinary games.

It has a casting time of up to one hour.

"Concentration is the key skill of a mage. We need to improve our 'concentration' skill to ensure that the spell will not be interrupted by accident during these long spellcastings." Antinoya said looking at him from afar.

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't distract himself from answering at this time, and was concentrating on performing the "identification technique" with all his attention.

As the casting progressed, Zhao Xu gradually realized that "the casting time is one hour" was not a simple sentence.

Normally, he only needs to focus on two or three seconds for a "standard movement" time to cast a spell.

Now a "one hour" casting time greatly consumes his own energy.

He also gradually understood that Antinoya could tell him the effect of the backpack directly, but it would cost him 100 gp to cast this spell.

There are many things that can only be truly appreciated if you have tried them formally.

As time passed by, Zhao Xu slowly began to sweat on his forehead like a student who would fail if he did a wrong question.

Finally, a yellow light radiated from his hand and landed directly on the backpack.

All of a sudden, messages poured into Zhao Xu's mind, and his information panel kept refreshing.

"Isn't this amazing?" Zhao Xu couldn't help muttering to himself.

Congratulations to the readers of "Hedberg" for guessing correctly, it is indeed a space backpack.
