The Truth of Magic

Chapter 652 Returning to the Family

Zhao Xu, who was walking on the ground of Yanan, still had Antinoya's last advice in his mind.

"Whoever holds the curse fire will see strange things."

Cursefire owners have different characteristics from skills, talents, and even magical energy in their bodies.

And once you have the curse fire, the easiest way is to heal or create an explosive flame wave, or even absorb the magic effect of contact with it.

As for those who have intensively studied the curse fire, they can even achieve more effects.

Such as releasing multiple waves of curse fire at one time or even directly driving the curse fire to fly.

Compared with the magic driven by "spells and incantations", the power of the source of magic, the curse fire, is a more primitive and unrestrained ability.

But even though Antinoya told him a lot about the effects of the curse fire.

Zhao Xu still couldn't awaken this "curse fire" energy immediately.

It seems that his "luck card" has expired and needs to be recharged at regular intervals.

According to the rumors, in every era, there will only be one Cursed Fire Awakener.

In other words, if it was Zhao Xu who awakened the curse fire in this generation, it meant that Wang Ningwei, Aisweixi and others who were in his generation lost the chance to awaken the curse fire.

Even among the Goddess Chosen who possess the Silver Fire, only the most senior part can touch the threshold of the Cursed Fire.

At this moment, Zhao Xu, who was walking towards his house silently, was still thinking about the most typical usages pointed out by Antinoya.

When using the first spellfire, you can absorb the spells that target it as a ready action, just like "absorbing a scepter".

You know, the legendary "absorption scepter" worth 50,000 gold coins is a "spell magnet" that can absorb directional target spells and store energy in the rod.

At the same time, the holder of the absorption scepter can cast the energy absorbed in the scepter as a spell.

Such as absorbing six-ring spells and three-ring spells, it stores the energy of nine-ring spells, which can be used to cast a number of spells with a total of nine rings.

And an absorbing scepter can only absorb 50 rings of energy, and after releasing the total absorbed 50 rings of spells, the scepter will turn back into an ordinary wooden stick.

The 50,000 gold coins fell directly to worthless.

Because sticks are readily available on the roadside.

However, "Curse Fire" is not so exaggerated, it cannot be equivalent to an infinite absorption scepter.

At this time, Zhao Xu's physique was 27, and his adjustment value was 8. He could absorb a total of 8 spell energy.

However, he couldn't cast it as a spell ring, but could shoot out the cursefire energy arrow like a silver fire, and the damage was only 1-6 points of energy per ring.

The remaining usage is to heal damage, one ring heals 2 points of damage, which is better than nothing.

So Zhao Xu thought about it several times by himself.

Except for the powerful effect of "absorbing spells", it was difficult for him to figure out why "curse fire" was a more advanced power than "silver fire".

Not to mention, is it still an extremely critical "key"?

Just as Zhao Xu's mind was locked and he kept thinking, he soon came to his house located in the capital city.

Initially, in order to avoid confusion, Zhao Xu did not arrange his parents in the office building inside the Spell Association, but in a luxurious house not far away, also considering that it would cover a larger area.

Zhao Xu's family is not the kind of extravagant people.

It's just that people are social animals.

As Yanan's order began to be established, the close relatives and friends of Zhao Xu's family were slowly arranged to transfer to Yanan's capital.

At this time, through contact with Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, who were already of extraordinary status, no matter how stupid a person was, he realized that Zhao Xu was connected with the legendary "Zhong Xia".

On the one hand, it was because Zhao Xu's parents wanted to live in a lively place, and the unified accommodation was really convenient for management and material distribution, and at the same time, it was also guaranteed in terms of security.

To save too much jealousy and black hands from jealous people.

So in the beginning, Zhao Xu left enough room and arranged a big house with dozens of houses for his parents.

After all, the season is difficult, and it can only be arranged according to the way of one family and one room.

Unexpectedly, the dozens of rooms were filled with all kinds of relatives and friends who came to seek refuge in just two days.

And everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, actively centering on Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's room, and gradually spread according to the distance of the relationship.

As the room was packed all of a sudden, relatives who were not so well-informed and who were not too close to each other came over and bowed their heads.

But they were not willing to leave, they would rather sleep on the floor in the lobby than endure it desperately, and they could even enjoy the daily food for free.

Not to mention that the rainstorm was approaching. With no one guessing how long the rainstorm would last, no matter how reserved and thin-skinned the relatives of Zhao Xu's family were, they still had to take into account the safety of their husband, wife, children and the elderly at home.

It was packed softly and fled here without hesitation.

And Zhao's father himself came from a family with a strong clan style, and even their Zhao surname had rebuilt their genealogy not long ago.

Originally, they could only be contacted by phone from afar, but relying on the branches of memory, now a single family group can cover hundreds of people.

The childhood friends who hadn't seen each other for decades and who were a bit unfamiliar, all reconnected by relying on the "group".

It was only then that Zhao Xu understood.

The number of "relatives" in his impression is not just the ones he visits during the holidays.

The only child of their generation naturally has no siblings.

But his grandparents, even his parents, and even his relatives and friends from the generation of parents, stacked up is not an order of magnitude at all.

Even these people have their own close relatives, such as in-laws, there are countless.

And Zhao Xu's mother was also a soft-hearted person.

She even thought that Zhao Xu's sudden ascension to the sky at this time was more or less God's blessing, and she didn't know how much blessing her ancestors had accumulated in exchange for it.

Usually, it is natural to do more good deeds and accumulate blessings for him, so that the rest of his life will be safe and smooth.

At the same time, it's fine for adults to suffer, and she really can't bear to see children suffer. Naturally, she will not refuse any relatives who come to join her.

Naturally, in the end, Zhao Xulu successively arranged for his family three townhouses with more than a hundred rooms, and the place was still overcrowded.

Obviously, each room is allocated according to one household, and there are only three or five people registered.

However, when each household continues to fill in their own relatives after moving in, it often ends up with a dozen people living together on the floor in one room.

Before this torrential rain passes, no one will easily leave this "house" that Yanan must be the strongest and must be guarded until the last moment.

As long as Zhao Xu was alone, he would make the choice everyone expected.

But living is solved, eating is another aspect.

Yanan's initial food ration was based on the working population, and all the distribution was porridge and so on.

At this time, even the senior peasants in the countryside, no matter how powerful they are, cannot save the time of sowing and harvesting, digging out grain from the soil.

Naturally, Zhao Xu didn't need to tell him, the supplies his family allocated must be the top batch.

Under the influence of Zhao Xu's four-ring war magic "create rations", the password for an individual soldier with a population of three or four thousand was not a big problem in the first place.

Therefore, according to Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's idea, all the registered relatives will gather together for three meals a day in the morning, afternoon and evening, and the supply is open. How much, you can't pack it up and take it away.

However, under the circumstances that all the families were desperately filling in people, a familiar strange phenomenon naturally appeared.

It is a unit that clearly has 300 people, but the actual number is thousands of people.

The usual welfare distribution is naturally shared by thousands of people.

At this time, the population of Jiasai, although they can still eat gruel by going out to participate in Yanan's work, but it is much inferior to the daily fixed-point meal of the Zhao family.

In the end, Zhao's mother couldn't bear it, and every day, each room was used as a unit, and the food for the three of them was packed back after meals.

As for how to distribute it equally to the rest of the people when they go back, that is the business of each family.

Originally, everyone was taken care of, but Zhao Xu had no burden.

Even to make his mother happier, even if Zhao Xu cast seven or eight more war spells in a row, it would be nothing more than a lift.

But after all, Zhao's father has been immersed in the shopping mall for many years, and directly pointed out that if he really dares to come and refuse, the relatives and friends dragged by each family will also take care of him.

Then it will only lead to this snowball getting bigger and bigger.

The number of people to be supplied the next day becomes 3,000 people,

On the third day, it became 10,000 people, and in the end even the entire capital of Yanan relied on various connections to allow him to supply it in unlimited quantities.

So at this time, the extra food is distributed according to each house, and how many people are able to take care of with the food of three people is their own ability. Although he also knew that there must be more than one family that actually got it, but he turned a blind eye to it.

As Zhao Xu returned to his extremely noisy home in twos and twos, when the guards in the outermost circle saw him, they hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed to him to express their deepest respect.

These guards, known by the outsiders as being close to the water, are able to contact the most top existence of Yanan at all times.

In an instant, several young men who had just had a full meal and were sitting at the door chatting and beating farts immediately stood up excitedly, straightened their waists and shouted.

"Brother Xu, are you here?"

"Did you take time out of your busy schedule today?"

"Hurry up and sit down, I'll call my aunt out."

"Auntie, Brother Xu is back!"

For a while, as the sound waves spread, the entire townhouse seemed to be torn apart by the morning rooster crowing. There were noisy sounds from all the rooms, the sound of various tables and chairs being pushed, and the sound of running, as if everyone They all started to move because of Zhao Xu's arrival.

Zhao Xu also felt a little headache about this.

In fact, he really didn't know any of these people standing at the door.

On the one hand, these people are not old enough to be introduced to him by his parents during the rare times when he goes home.

Now every time he seldom goes home to get together occasionally, his parents will be reluctant to let go of favors, or they want to take care of the "outstanding" juniors in the family, so they keep pulling them in front of him and introducing them to him.

Those who stood at the door and beat the autumn wind naturally didn't have this opportunity on weekdays, so they could only go to the door and wait for the rabbit. I never thought that they would actually be bumped into by them.

It's just that Zhao Xu himself walked so fast that he could even activate the "advanced flashing technique" at any time, seamlessly switching all the way to the courtyard.

Even if there was an extremely thick wall standing in front of him, Zhao Xu could see through it right now, without any sense of obstacle at all.

As for these distant relatives who were full and didn't bother to participate in Yanan's construction work, Zhao Xu didn't bother to educate them.

To be honest, he already had a little understanding of the thinking of some big families in ancient times, why he still had to support a bunch of family members even though he knew it was not good.

Although it was a bit lazy to watch these people keep on eating, but he, who had mastered the ability to read minds, could feel the joy from their hearts when they met Zhao Xu.

Even the "earnest intention" they used to call Zhao Xu's parents couldn't be faked at all.

Instead of being like the outside world, you can always encounter a few thoughts such as "I can replace it" and "You are just out of luck".

Of course, there are also existences in the world who don't like the good of their relatives.

But at this time, Zhao Xu had already gained too much height, and even became the food and clothing of everyone, so naturally his thinking would no longer be the original "narrow".

It can be said that everyone staying in this house at this time even wished for Zhao Xu's more glory.

Soon, Zhao Xu also came to the hall. At this time, his parents were naturally sitting at the top seat, and among the relatives of the Zhao family, everyone of some seniority also gathered here, but there were still a few who were qualified to sit on a stool.

Most of the young people were still standing on the edge of the hall, staring at this side with wide-eyed eyes.

At this time, most of the elders in the family nodded happily at Zhao Xu, and even the generation of Zhao Xu's grandma and grandma would smile from ear to ear as if they had met the happiest person. same thing.

All of this was a far cry from Zhao Xu's return to his hometown, where he sat and ate with a large family in obscurity.

For a while, seeing that Zhao Xu was no longer as cold as before, Zhao Xu's close relatives, uncles and aunts even spoke to Zhao Xu.

"Xiao Xu, why don't you stay for dinner tonight."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for so many years, we have to have a good chat tonight."

"That's right, our old Zhao's family has a character like you, which can be regarded as a prominent lintel."

Even Zhao Xu couldn't respond after opening his mouth three times.

Zhao Xu's family is not stupid, they pay attention to a bowl of water in everything.

These are the closest direct and collateral blood relatives of Zhao Xu's family, and they also receive the most care in private. Even Zhao's mother, who is in charge of distribution, got the most resources. It can be said that Zhao's mother took good care of their relatives and friends.

Even the things on the stool no longer needed the free meal at Zhao Xu's house.

But still no one left the house, and even if they were not hungry, everyone would attend the meal on time to accompany Zhao's father and Zhao's mother.

Because everyone understood that the most important thing was to stay in this home and get close to Zhao Xu's parents, which was related to the future.

"Xiao Xu, thank God, you are finally here."

At this moment, after seeing Zhao Xu's return, mother of Zhao finally let go of the big stone in her heart and couldn't help but take a breath.

"Hurry up and take a look at your Aunt Liu's daughter, what's the situation now?"

Zhao Xu's face was heavy.

He had already seen a girl lying on the ground with a pale face, gasping for breath.

That's why his mother was eager for him to come back, and Zhao Xu had to ask Antinoya for half a day's leave first.
