The Truth of Magic

Chapter 586 Ernest!

Following Zhao Xu's words, it was obvious that Wu Yue, who was still a little girl in front of her eyes, could not understand what was happening at this moment.

She just looked blankly at the big brother who had just lost sight of the dragon.

After Zhao Xu smiled at his innocence, he also reacted.

When May met Ernest in her previous life, she had already become a shepherdess. Obviously, it was because of the evil dragon attacking the town this time that May lost the support of her parents.

In this kind of countryside, without parents to rely on and the family property was burned to the ground, under such conditions, it was not easy for Wu Yue to grow up to be a girl by herding sheep.

In fact, May in history did not meet Zhao Xu. It was very likely that he was swooped down by a giant dragon, fell into a coma, and survived by luck.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also sighed.

Even a strong man like May, who once stood at the peak of Arthur, also has a past that is so fragile that he doesn't want to recall it.

It's just that while Zhao Xu was thinking, he couldn't help but wonder another point - why did he see the original May in Antinoya's memory line?

Where is the actual Antinoya at this moment?

It stands to reason that looking at Wu Yue's appearance of less than six years old, it is estimated that she will have to grow another seven or eight years before meeting the rumored Ernest.

That was also the critical time when the other party officially appeared in Arthur.

Therefore, many ancient historians who study ancient mysterious history and theology and religion have raised a suspicion—that is, Ernest is a powerful mage from other "Tianyu".

So the other party passed on to Arthur the enormous knowledge of magic that could not be done by one person.

Before Ernest, Arthur already had magic, and his knowledge was not systematic at all, scattered and unformed.

So Ernest the Great was never the inventor of magic.

Even strictly speaking, magic itself is to imitate the "ability" of powerful mythical creatures, which is why most of today's spells and incantations use dragon syllables.

But when Ernest appeared, he supplemented a large number of spells, and even sorted out the eight major schools of magic.

His status to magic is like creating words for a language.

In an instant, Zhao Xu got in touch with the key point that Antinoya became a legendary mage at the age of 20.

It stands to reason that she became a legendary mage in just over ten years after she came into contact with Ernest, so it is very likely that Ernest was not even born at this moment.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu spread out his palms and made a fist into the void!

Immediately, the arcane energy gushed out, and then surrounded Zhao Xu's body like a goddess scattering flowers.

The fourth-ring spell "biolocation"!

The invisible aura of exploration pushed around, and Zhao Xu turned his body little by little, facing Arthur in all directions at this moment.

As long as Antinoya is within the range of the spell, he can successfully sense it the moment he faces the opponent.

This spell-casting material is the spell of hound fur, which can locate a certain group of creatures, or even a specific creature, provided that the caster must have observed the opponent closely.

And Zhao Xu, who had been facing Antinoya day and night for several months, had no problem at all.

It's just that he wandered around like this for a whole circle, but he didn't receive any feedback from spells.

Antinoya is not in this world.

In other words, she is currently protected by spells that shield prophecy, such as "avoid detection".

Even the "transfiguration" that simply changes the shape or the "illusion" of the illusion can deceive this spell.

Of course, flowing water would also block the effect of the spell, so if Antinoya was swimming in the stream at this moment, Zhao Xu would be the same.

However, Zhao Xu, who had realized his preliminary judgment, didn't care. He stood up slightly and looked up into the distance.

The surface of the lake illuminated by the sun shines through like an ice surface, the harvested wheat fields are like a quiet and beautiful pastoral nursery with a golden gleam, and the mountains farther away are mysterious and unpredictable under the gray and white thick fog that reaches down to the sky.

The clouds in the sky are intertwined and spread like a brocade ribbon.

All of this is in stark contrast to the flaming town in front of me. Black smoke billows from the manors piled up with golden ears of wheat, and the air seems to be whining.

Along with the collapsed buildings, the earth trembled and shook, and finally the suspension bridge of the town also began to collapse and was reduced to ruins.

Zhao Xu witnessed the history of the destruction of Ms. May's family.

So he can also wait for the history of Ms. May to encounter a turning point in her life.

Although he didn't understand why he entered this world, it was very likely that Antinoya hadn't even been born yet.

But he doesn't care anymore.

Magic is like the wind, always by his side, he is fearless in any world.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu bent slightly and said to the little girl, "Mayue, I'm sorry I have to go to the future to see what happened, so I can't stay here to witness your growth bit by bit."

Then he gently moved the tiniest day hand on the watch.

In an instant, everything around him continued to move forward like jumping frames. The ruins of the town in front of him gradually extinguished in Zhao Xu's field of vision, the wreckage disappeared, and the wood was brought in. rise.

For a full ten years, Zhao Xu witnessed the reshaping of this small town that had just been destroyed in history within a week.

And during this process, even if he observed Wuyue on a whim, he saw that Wuyue's family's land was sold at a low price because of the servant's betrayal, and finally it was taken in by a family of relatives who lived outside the town and had no children.

It's just that when the other party successfully gave birth to a child a few years later, Wu Yue's food level in the family also declined day by day. From the first rice porridge to the later black hard bread, she never received a new piece of clothing every year.

Her job of helping her adoptive mother wash and knit clothes for the wealthy families in the small town has also become herding sheep for the rancher.

Even in a few years, May will be promised to a forty-year-old milkman on the ranch as his wife, just because she gave a few gold coins to May's adoptive parents.

This time, Zhao Xu also became hard-hearted and watched all this happen.

Fearing that he would miss Ernest's arrival, he didn't even dare to use that wristwatch to skip time, and just watched silently in this small town, like a stone monument.

During this period of time, Zhao Xu lived on a nearby grassy hill, and the "Eagle Eye Technique" was basically projected 24 hours a day in the area where sheep are herded in May on weekdays, just like closed-circuit television. .

Zhao Xu silently built a simple wooden house on the top of a nearby oak tree. He usually lay in a "hammock" on the branches of the tree. He was thinking about the mystery of the spell while observing the surrounding situation.

By touching this tree, Zhao Xu could see the scene around any oak tree from an infinite distance through the "eye of the forest", the unique magical skill of druids in the third ring.

No matter how far the distance was, Zhao Xu always looked on as if he was watching the selected plant of the same kind.

This kind of change spell is also more secure and will not disturb various spells that shield detection.

But at this moment, Wuyue was not protected by magic, so Zhao Xu observed her more directly by "detecting" the sorcerer's four-ring arcane spell.

Even Zhao Xu used it so often that he didn't bother to use the professional ability of supernatural spells to save the casting materials.

Because a bag of falcon's eyes had been placed under his feet, and nitric acid, copper powder, and zinc powder were sprinkled and stirred in it.

At the same time, Zhao Xu's tree house also stood a one-meter-high, highly polished silver mirror. Once the spell was completed, the mirror would reveal the three-meter details around May that he chose to observe.

If the priest casts the spell, he watches it through a silver basin poured with holy water worth at least 100 gp. As for the druids, they use natural pools to watch.

A scrying spell directs the sight and hearing of a creature of his choice, though the spell succeeds only if the target fails a Will save.

Fortunately, before she met Ernest in May, she had no chance of successfully exempting herself from Zhao Xu.

In particular, the degree to which Zhao Xu knew the subject and whether he owned the other's items all affected the difficulty of saving the spell.

If he didn't know anything, the difficulty of his immunity would definitely be reduced by 10 steps.

For some second-hand information, if you have heard the other party, it will be reduced by 5 levels, and if you have seen this kind of direct information, it will not be affected. As for the level of familiarity, it is 5 levels higher in difficulty.

Even if there are images, it can be 2 levels higher, if there are objects or clothes of the other party, it can be 4 levels higher, and if there are body parts such as hair and nails, it can be 10 levels higher.

Therefore, Arthur's spellcasters actually pay attention to the traces and residues left by themselves. If someone collects them inadvertently, it is like not being protected by magic spells that block prophecy. Become an introduction to other spells.

Zhao Xu, who was on the verge of numbness, also routinely used the silver mirror to observe May, who was herding the sheep.

Sihuan's mysterious eye spells had already been spread out by him, doing directional patrols.

As for the area that May seldom visited, he also used Wuhuan's "peeping magic eye" spell to plant more than 30 semi-real magic balls.

These small balls are patrolling according to his instructions, and once they encounter the specified situation, they will return to tell him immediately.

But today still looks like a calm day. May drove the sheep to the hilly slopes in the north early, repeating the day-to-day work boringly.

May, who is more than ten years old, has already grown out. She is used to the cold world and knows that beauty is a disaster to herself, so she doesn't wash herself very much on weekdays. She always dresses in a disheveled manner, but Even more disgusted.

At this time, May was herding sheep repeatedly, and Zhao Xu was also watching her herding sheep repeatedly.

Even when the sun went down and May drove the flock back to the sheepfold, Zhao Xu would switch to the early morning of the next day.

On the one hand, this long and boring wait tormented Zhao Xu's heart.

On the other hand, he has a faint feeling that the day when Ernest will come to Arthur is not far away, so he can't miss the shots basically every month.

Suddenly, a flash of white light flashed across the silver mirror that originally repeated yesterday's scene.

Zhao Xu's eyes hurt immediately and he couldn't help crying.

blind?

This thought flashed through Zhao Xu immediately. Although he couldn't imagine how shocking it would be to be able to blind himself through the mirror, it didn't prevent him from saving himself immediately at all.

"Remove blindness!"

Most of the removal of negative buff spells are quietly staying in the magic spell list of the third ring.

So once the priest reaches the third ring, he can already become an excellent doctor, and they can even cure all diseases by removing diseases.

The instant soft recovery energy light ball continuously penetrated into his eyelids through Zhao Xu's "contact", and the original tingling feeling disappeared little by little.

The effect of removing blindness and removing deafness corresponds to the spell. It cannot regenerate and restore sight to the blind, but it can remove the damaged part.

Zhao Xu's vision recovered instantly, and the surrounding light curtain was projected into his eyeballs again, allowing him to see everything around him clearly.

Snowflake-like cracks appeared on the originally clearly reflected mirror surface, accompanied by the sound of "zilazila".

May's figure in the mirror also shattered into countless fine pieces.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder suddenly sounded like a bolt from the blue, as if vibrating next to the eardrum, almost making Zhao Xu give himself another spell to remove deafness.

In the end what happened?

Avatar?

Zhao Xu kept shouting in his heart.

Because he looked up, the whole sky had become pitch black, as if the link of dusk had been skipped directly.

At the same time, the surrounding wind continued to howl, desperately hitting the ground, making him on the top of the tree crumbling, and the illusion that originally concealed the existence of the hut had also been terminated.

All of a sudden, mysterious whispers came from around one after another, sounding like they came from an inexplicable valley, and they merged with the continuous rumble of thunder above the sky.

In this hill, this piece of land already wrapped in the darkness of night, wandering and rippling.

"Teleportation!"

No matter how cautious Zhao Xu was, he couldn't suppress the entanglement and curiosity in his heart at this moment. He immediately activated the teleportation technique and went straight to the place where May was last detected.

In less than a second, the feeling of discomfort after the transmission energy faded, and the familiar sense of body manipulation crawled back into Zhao Xu's body little by little.

Zhao Xu appeared behind May, on the hill where she was grazing.

The surrounding sheep had already been disturbed by the roar just now, and all of them knelt on the ground, unable to move.

What's even more exaggerated is that May, who had maintained a noble heart and was clear and pure in spite of a very tight and rough life, was now crawling all over the ground.

She seemed to be kissing the earth.

But all the living beings around knew that she was bowing down to the king who came to this world.

Zhao Xu also raised his head slightly, mustered all the courage in his heart, and tried to look at the man who had come to Arthur and was destined to leave more than one-fifth of the chapter in Arthur's history of magic— —

Ernest.

Four more tomorrow.
