The Truth of Magic

Chapter 9 Double Elite Route

The number of people Arthur logged in today is not yet at the peak of the game.

The real peak period will have to wait until half a year later. At that time, the popularity of the topic is increasing day by day. Several times, the new achievements of the players in the game have successfully rushed to the social trending searches.

At this time, although there are character cards in the game, there are various game data details that can be viewed.

However, players cannot call any remote chat tools in the game, and any online search tools are blocked by Yiying.

Therefore, if you really encounter any special questions, everyone can only search by yourself or by various knowledge and skills of the system.

If you have to go offline to retrieve data, not to mention the waiting time for offline, the 20-minute cooldown time for offline and online is enough to hinder most people.

Even so, some guilds still use the original method of going offline to communicate and then go online to reply before they can afford the cost of communication spells.

Many players were at a loss when they first entered the game. Some players didn't take the initiative to ask for directions, and even after two days, they still haven't found a specific training location.

Zhao Xu may be the first among all game players to understand what the marks on the parchment map mean and how to get there.

As a primary election, Zhao Xu first chose to go to the gate of the arcane - the headquarters of the mage association.

There is not only one mage association in Arthur.

But the Mage Association located in Mystra, the magic capital, is the largest in the continent in terms of size and number of mages, and its branches are spread all over the entire continent.

The power of other mage organizations is basically less than one-tenth, and the association formed by the red-robed mages can only be partial to a country.

That is, the Mage Association where the Arcane Gate is located, it naturally does not need to add any prefix.

The Mage Association refers to the Mage Association of Mystra.

After Zhao Xu handed in the materials in the reception hall of the Arcane Gate, the apprentices in charge of the reception simply used spells to identify the key of his recommendation letter, and they were sure.

It's not uncommon to use "forged documents" to deceive the headquarters of the Mage Association these days, but the fastest rogue players in the current player group probably haven't really mastered these skills, let alone use their low-level skills to deceive .

For Arthur's natives, their group of players did not fall from the sky for no reason, nor would it be said that all npcs were brainwashed into thinking that they were all Arthur's natives.

In fact, players later discovered that the entire world is logically self-consistent.

These Arthur's natives have long known from the publicity of the temple in the past few years that they are all projections from other worlds on the earth.

The alien world is not an unfamiliar place to Arthur's natives, or to the majority of adventurers. In fact, the planes where the gods reside are all alien worlds.

Mages also often summon alien creatures and let them project onto Arthur's main plane to participate in the battle.

Their players are also regarded as another kind of projection because of their offline and online characteristics, and the fact that they have five more resurrection stones than the native Arthur.

At best, it will not be shielded or lifted by the anti-magic field.

Zhao Xu also heard that top mages would not come to the door in person when they went to take risks.

Most of them directly send projections with exactly the same strength as themselves.

After a year of time travel, all the people on Earth will really become Arthur's natives, changing from a projection to a real person.

Zhao Xu waited in the hall for less than half a quarter of an hour before a black-robed sorcerer came out and took him to the inside of the Arcane Gate.

He told Zhao Xu not to run around so as not to trigger the trap and be resurrected again, but he remained silent the whole time.

The people passing by the entire Arcane Gate are very silent, coming and going in a hurry.

In less than ten minutes, the mage brought Zhao Xu into an empty hall

He pointed to the light door in front of him and said, "This door is exclusively for your sorcerer apprentices, so don't think too much about going straight."

"Portal?"

Zhao Xu looked at the three-meter-high light gate and said in surprise.

He didn't expect that the training place for his people was not on the ground of Mystra, but to go through this portal?

In addition to the limitation of the passing volume, and generally can only point to one location, the rest of the portal is only praise.

As long as one round (6 seconds), players can pass through it and reach the designated location without any assistance from anyone or activation of any spells.

One-click direct access to the destination, the portal with a unit price of 100,000 gold coins has always been the dream of countless adventurers.

Because the wild is too dangerous.

Even if players can leave the battle for 5 minutes, they can go offline without risk and don't need to stay in the wild.

But the resurrection stones of early players were basically consumed by unexpected situations in the wild.

Even Arthur's natives would not rashly leave the town and go to the wild without necessity.

"Have you seen it before?" The black-robed sorcerer raised his head slightly at this moment and glanced at Zhao Xu.

Only then did he realize that the other party might not be the group of rookie mages guarding the gate outside by one or two levels.

Most of the mages here know that they are "adventurers" from the earth.

It stands to reason that their players are new to Arthur, and their knowledge is limited.

But Zhao Xu knew that his best way was not to explain, but to keep asking.

"Does this door lead to the top?"

After all, Zhao Xu pointed upwards. Although the ceiling above was the ceiling of the hall, the meaning was self-evident.

"The response was really fast." The black-robed mage took a deep look at Zhao Xu.

However, Zhao Xu found that the other party's eyes were completely on the two badges on his chest.

"It's really interesting, no wonder I brought you here."

The black robe mage said something that Zhao Xu couldn't figure out.

"What's the meaning?"

Zhao Xu's keen perception made him clear that maybe he had just moved some key points.

The aborigines in Arthur are actually real people, so there is no situation where they will only talk to you when a task is triggered.

But generally speaking, high-level mages are relatively cold, so they won't waste time on these level 1 rookies if they have nothing to do.

Even if Zhao Xu is now at the highest level school in the mage world.

The sorcerer's cloudy eyes met Zhao Xu's.

Zhao Xu was in a daze for a while, as if he felt that he was looking at an old wise man.

However, the skin outside the mage's robe in front of him is not old at all.

However, this did not prevent Zhao Xu from lowering his head a little.

He is no better than other players. He is not afraid of anything when he comes in. At worst, I will delete my account and come back again, or I will not play your broken game.

All the people on the earth have to live in Arthur, and they are so arrogant that they are going to die.

"If I were you, I would put away your priest badge first. It can make you pay less attention." The mage made a suggestion inexplicably.

"How do you say, aren't players allowed to participate in two kinds of professional training at the same time?"

Zhao Xu asked quickly, even if the players didn't know that it was possible to do this, but he knew, he was very sure.

For some players like him, if there are a few professional statues left in the end, multiple badges will be issued for participation in training.

Others have to choose which badge to use to represent the association for training.

But he can have all of his dual elites.

The black-robed mage was the same as him, instead of directly responding to the question, he whispered instead.

"Just ten minutes ago, there was a female player who had two badges just like you, but she was sent to the portal next door."

It was a year after Arthur became a reality, that is, the 16 intelligence value of Zhao Xu's character panel had not yet taken effect.

He still has to rely on his own raw intelligence to decipher the ins and outs of the other party's words.

Zhao Xu has completely calmed down, thinking about whether there is a hidden mission or some mystery

The other party said that he should go to the portal next door like that female player?

To go to the academy for training mages, two gates had to be built.

The Mage Association has money and is not just playing around like this, building doors leading to the same place in two adjacent halls.

That is, they lead to different places.

If it is in another capital city, it is possible to add another portal to push the top students to Mystra.

But the Gate of Arcana is already the top mage academy here, and the legendary mentors already have many legendary mages.

If you want to be top-notch again, is it possible to send yourself to the goddess?

And the priest is trained in the temple next door, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.

Zhao Xu suddenly understood that in order to pretend to be aggressive and to let the staff of the Arcane Gate see his difference, he specially brought two certification badges for his potential investment points.

Feelings are really something different.

Maybe he doesn't need to wear it, since he stepped into the gate of the association headquarters.

But what does this have to do with the two portals?

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's mind came to a realization.

Hide basic occupations!

People with two medals can take up hidden occupations other than mages and priests!

However, who is the door to the hidden basic profession, this door or the door next door?

Just when Zhao Xu was about to confirm with the other party, he saw the other party's eyes and stopped suddenly.

The answer is self-evident.

If it's really a hidden job, it won't be said before arriving at the portal.

The door next door is the one leading to the hidden job.

Then the question arises—why do you wear two badges at the same time, and the other party hides his profession and comes to this mage's path by himself?

"It seems that you have already thought of it?"

No matter how respectful a mage is, it is also the basic profession of this continent after all.

"Think about it yourself, what's special about you?"

Zhao Xu lowered his head and thought for a moment, what's special about him?

Although 16 intelligence is high, there are still a lot of 17 and 18 intelligence ahead.

Double, double elite!

Zhao Xu suddenly understood, but logically speaking, the other party shouldn't be able to see it either.

Didn't their players ignore all kinds of mind-reading control spells for a year?

The mage suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he could see through the portal.

"Don't worry, you adventurers from the earth are immune to many special effects. At the same time, I will tell you that in addition to spell slots, wisdom and knowledge are also one of the abilities of mages."

Zhao Xu understood what this meant. If the npc could directly read the player's mind or even do something worse, it wouldn't cause trouble.

So this kind of immunity is actually the protection of the gods for the player group, and it is valid for one year.

This was also Zhao Xu's protection.

Otherwise, the matter of his crossing will be written on his face in front of those legendary bosses.

So the opponent's operation is based on wisdom and operation?

Suddenly, Zhao Xu almost patted himself on the head, but he forgot the skill of "Sensing Words and Moods".

It's because his expression is too straightforward, and he can only fight against it by improving his "disguise" skills in the future.

After Zhao Xu understood, he nodded and walked directly to the light gate.

When he was about to step in, he suddenly stopped and asked.

"After I finish the level 1 mage training, do I go to the portal next door?"

He didn't say that he was a double elite, but he believed that the other party could understand.

He wouldn't think that after becoming a level 1 mage, he would go to the hidden profession at level 2.

"No."

"Your mage's path will go on forever."

"And your other path is to become a level 1 priest first, and then become a file scholar."

Occupation Line 1: Level 2 Mage

Career Line 2: Level 1 Priest/Level 1 Archivist.

The route that the other party said came to Zhao Xu's mind, and he also heard the name of the hidden basic profession.

He turned around abruptly and asked, "Why?"

"This is the will of the goddess."
