The Truth of Magic

Chapter 88 Dispelling Magic

The staff in Zhao Xu's hand was nearly one meter long, made of ancient oak core, with a yellow crystal stone inlaid on its head.

At this time, Zhao Xu's appearance was not far from the wizards in fantasy books that everyone imagined.

A staff is a kind of magic item. Several spells are stored in it. Each time a spell is cast, it will consume one to a few rounds of energy from the staff. Generally speaking, a brand new staff has 50 rounds of energy. whole.

And another magical item, the wand, is generally 30 centimeters long, which is about the same size as the wands of the wizards in Harry Potter.

The wand also only has 50 rounds of energy, but each time a spell is used, it only consumes 1 round of energy.

The difference between a wand and a wand is that each wand can only store one spell, and it can only store spells of level 4 and below.

And the staff will not be restricted by the fourth-level spells, like the protective staff in Zhao Xu's hand, it can use shielding (level 1 spell/1 energy), resist energy damage (level 2/1 energy), and dispel magic (Level 3/1 shot), Secondary Spell Invalidation Barrier (Level 4/2 shots), Expulsion (Level 4/2 shots), and Anti-living Animal Shield (Level 6/3 shots).

Based on the price of 65000 gp, basically 1 round of energy is 1300 gp, even if Zhao Xu uses it, he will feel bloody.

What he is going to use today is the "dispel magic" spell in the staff, which can be used to suppress magic traps.

If he used a magic wand, a dispelling magic wand cost 11,250 gp and 50 rounds, and it only costs 225 gp per round, which is much more cost-effective.

Speaking of which, he wanted to go in and explore it even more, so he used up his hole cards. Destroying the devil's lair would give Antinoya more points than driving away ghosts.

When facing the druid before, Zhao Xu took out his staff to cast a "resist energy damage" spell on himself to absorb the damage for him.

If he reaches level 3 and is able to cast level 2 spells, he can also cast the spell "resist energy damage".

It's just that his caster level is too low, and he can only absorb 10 points of damage when casting this spell, and his health is not enough for a lightning strike.

But if he uses a protective staff to cast spells, the caster level must be at least level 13, that is, it can absorb 30 points of damage, which was enough for him to take one or two lightning strikes without being hurt.

This was the great advantage of the staff over low-level spellcasters like Zhao Xu.

But when Antinoya gave him the staff, he didn't tell him how much energy was left in it.

It is also a test for him to take risks with the staff while being unable to estimate how much energy is left.

"This one?" Roja can be considered to have seen the world, but most of the ones he has seen are small wands, and he has never seen this kind of wand that is nearly one meter long.

"Magic items." Zhao Xu said briefly, "It can be used to remove magic traps."

Then Zhao Xu instructed the two wanderers on how to open the secret door. Once he suppressed the energy of the magic trap, they had to hurry up and open the secret door.

After speaking, Zhao Xu directly held the staff in his hand and made a spell casting action towards the magic trap in front of him.

Immediately, three effects of dispelling magic appeared in his mind: "target type", "area type", and "counter spell type".

Zhao Xu, who knew something about the principles of magic traps, directly chose the "target type" to dispel the magic.

After the spell was cast, a white light shot out from the protective staff in Zhao Xu's hand and hit the brick with the trap directly.

[Adventurer Zhong Xia casts "Dispelling Magic" and "Curse-Down Trap" for spellcaster check confrontation, adventurer Zhong Xia caster check 20+D20=20+15=35, caster check of Curse-Down Trap 5+D20=5+10 =15. The check passes and the trap is successfully suppressed for 1D4=4 rounds. 】

Zhao Xu looked at the information before realizing that disabling magic to deal with magic traps was actually a check against the caster level, not a check against difficulty.

That is, the caster level of the wand, compared with the caster level of the priest who made the trap, whoever is higher is more likely to win.

Antinoya didn't make the wand according to the minimum requirement of level 13, but directly gave the caster level of level 20, which naturally made him crush the level 5 priest who made the trap.

It's just that Zhao Xu didn't have time to feel emotional. He hurriedly shouted, "'Disarm Magic' can only restrain the trap for 4 rounds. Open the secret door quickly."

Hearing this, the two wanderers didn't doubt it, and both walked forward, and Rainbow was the first to rush to press the extremely dangerous brick.

Immediately, the mechanism at the door was activated. Looking at the wall without any gaps, a stone door with a width of one meter and a height of two meters slowly descended, revealing a passageway.

The brick with the trap also fell.

"It's finally down." Yoyo also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the turning head disappeared.

She also knew that her level was too low. If it was higher, at least she would have the means to remove the damage from these spells.

The threat of casting a curse is extremely troublesome for everyone.

"Can you pass?" Roja asked.

Although he was facing the auxiliary expert, everyone knew that he was asking about Zhong Xia.

Zhao Xu nodded, "The drop of the stone gate is deep enough, we won't trigger the trap again. The rogues should take the lead now, and keep searching to beware of the trap inside."

After hearing Zhao Xu's order, Hill looked at the team leader Roja, while Rainbow went straight to the front.

Taking one's life to go into a trap is also one of the rogue's fates.

The entire team adjusted their formation accordingly.

Everyone carried their weapons and slowly passed the stone gate in front of them in a state of high alert.

With the light of the torch, slowly, everyone in the team also saw the situation inside the stone gate, which was a long corridor.

"Be careful." Roja warned, "If there are traps, we will be very passive."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help getting closer, as if it was easier to gather courage this way.

"It feels like exploring a haunted house late at night." After leaving the room full of scarlet letters just now, Yoyo's originally suppressed emotions recovered a lot.

"Don't set the flag casually. Don't forget what happened to us in the forest last time." Rainbow Company, the wanderer who was walking in the front, stopped him.

He was fed up with Yoyo's crow's mouth.

"Hmph, didn't I just say that I hope to see a cute bear, who knew it was a vicious bear." Yoyo complained.

Zhao Xu suddenly understood that the ticket to the zoo was a bit expensive, so he didn't know how many resurrection stones he had received.

But thinking of the accident that Yoyo had encountered, Zhao Xu also tightly grasped the staff in his hand, and the rest of the journey depended on this staff.
