The Truth of Magic

Chapter 79 Candles

Mystra Floating City, Knowledge Library, a few days ago.

"Have you been cast into the shadow by that skeleton? You don't have to keep reading books like "How to Deal with Ghosts" to improve your religious knowledge and skills?"

Hearing Antinoya's question, Zhao Xu smiled and didn't say much.

Naturally, he couldn't open his mouth to Antinoya about the story of him leading a whole team to be wiped out by ghosts.

"You want to deal with ghosts?"

Antinoya quickly asked Zhao Xu's point.

Zhao Xu never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but he would not do these things for no reason.

"Although you people on Earth are unlikely to encounter ghosts, you can actually ask me directly. I have eliminated more ghosts than the author of this book has seen when writing the book." Antinoya said .

Only then did Zhao Xu put down the book in his hand, looked at Antinoya and said, "Teacher, is it possible for me now to dispel a ghost of a level 1 character?"

"I can't do it." Antinoya said softly, "Theoretically, the priest can disperse undead creatures that are 4 levels higher than himself. But the ghost itself has +4 resistance, which is equivalent to 5 HD undead creatures. So you can't disperse move."

Zhao Xu wanted to ask back, didn't he just agree to be 4 levels higher? ?

It's just that he immediately realized that with his priest level and charisma, even if his luck exploded, he could only dispel 2 HD undead creatures at most.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.

So what if it can be dispelled?

After they experienced the ghost crisis in their previous life, they immediately invited a senior priest to destroy and purify it. After a few days, the ghost still came back to life.

In the end, they had no choice but to seal the pothole and never open it.

"Teacher, isn't it incomprehensible that creatures like ghosts can be resurrected?"

Zhao Xu thought about it for a while and asked the question in his heart. By this time, he had turned to the chapter on the final resurrection.

"Why is there no solution?" Antinoya asked back.

Zhao Xu pointed at the picture of the ghost in the book and said, "When a ghost dies, you can perform a test of 'level + 1D20', and if it is greater than 16, it can be revived. If it is a ghost of level 15, the result of the test must be greater than 16. 100% revived."

This is also a point that he has been unable to let go of in his previous life.

"Oh, let me correct it first. In fact, if the test result is 1, there will be very special situations. Sometimes the value can pass, but it will fail. It's just when 1 is OK and when 1 is not. It has never been for people. As far as we know, it can only be attributed to the will of the world."

When Antinoya said this, his eyes revealed a mysterious color, "Besides, you don't know anything about the power of a mage."

"Sealing, controlling, and even failing the test, there are ways."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu felt a lot of confidence.

"Teacher, why do I feel that your speech is much more popular than this book. It is obviously a few simple words, but this "How to Deal with Ghosts" has to go around and around, which makes me a headache. According to me, this book is just a few words." Time to kick out the list of recommended readings for advancing religious knowledge."

Seeing Antinoya explaining his confusion, Zhao Xu hurriedly flattered and flattered, and complained a few words by the way.

"Oh, the reason I dare say the author didn't see as many ghosts as I did when he wrote the book is because—"

“This book was actually written when I was young.”“

Zhao Xu looked at the hideous ghost with his mouth open in front of him, looking like he was about to eat him alive, and smiled slightly.

At this moment, he already had the trump card that Antinoya gave him.

"You know nothing of the power of a mage."

At this moment, Zhao Xu was holding a small narrow lantern in his hand, and the space inside was only big enough to hold a candle.

It's just that something has been applied to the candle, and the moment it was taken out of the backpack and exposed to the air, this ordinary candle ignited spontaneously.

There was an aura of mystery all around.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia ignites the "Prayer Candle" of the neutral and good camp, and those of the same camp within 10 meters get a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks]

"Other world -" Zhao Xu began to mutter the name of an equally ordinary spell.

In an instant, the surrounding air froze for an instant, time and space were pulled, and the entire candle began to burst out with infinite sacred aura.

A faintly glowing ring with a diameter of six to seven meters began to appear in the air.

What's more profound is that a heavenly divine aura began to faintly appear behind the ring.

It is as if the Holy Light is about to descend on the earth, destroying all evils and sweeping away all filth.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the once terrifying experience resurfaced in the ghost's mind, and it howled in horror on the spot, as if deeply plunged into despair.

Fortunately, it didn't have the supernatural ability to howl in terror, but the hoarse voice made Zhao Xuhan's hair creep.

In an instant, the ghost ran away desperately, as if it was already a dead person, it seemed to have seen a horror that was more terrifying than death.

It was as if there was a force field flying sword accompanying it like a shadow attacking and killing it.

The ghost didn't look back, without any nostalgia at all, and disappeared in the limited field of vision of the torch.

Zhao Xu, who didn't have dark vision, looked ahead, but unfortunately he couldn't see the darkness further away.

Sighing slightly, Zhao Xu still couldn't pronounce the last word.

The original luminous disc lost its strength support, and slowly regained its restraint.

Night fell upon the land.

This prayer candle can burn for 4 hours, and Zhao Xu just said a few simple words, which has already reduced it by a small amount.

Zhao Xu couldn't care less about his distress. He just stood in the cold wind and stared straight ahead.

He didn't let go of his guard until almost a minute or two later, when the evil protection time on his body disappeared.

Zhao Xu immediately extinguished the candles in the small lantern.

Zhao Xu smiled as he looked at the "God Candle" in his hand that just lit it and scared away the ghost.

Sure enough, the power of spells is so powerful.

It's just Yu Wei.

In fact, it is not the candle that scares away the ghosts, but the ninth-level spell represented by the candle - "Gate to Another World".

Just now, as long as he read the name of the spell, the candle would burn instantly, turning into a gate to another world, from which powerful creatures would be summoned.

Antinoya introduced several powerful creatures to him at that time, allowing him to familiarize himself with and carefully remember the details of each other.

One of them is the Seraph, also known as the Seraph.

This kind of creature with a challenge level of 23 not only has powerful force, but also is equivalent to a priest who can cast ninth-level spells.

Basically, in Arthur's non-legendary field, there are no solutions.

Even if the ancient dragon comes personally, he can fight, let alone a mere ghost.

After Zhao Xu shook his head, he turned around and helped the fallen people up again.

Sorry for the late post.
