The Truth of Magic

Chapter 114

114 chapter 114 riding alone

it wasn’t until zhao xu’s figure disappeared around the corner of the convenience store that cui lu came back to her senses. she muttered to herself, ” how did he know that i just registered a new account and chose forest ranger? ”

Many people in cui Lu’s class were very engrossed in the game. However, after nearly a month, not only were the Lifestones running out, many of them had even created new characters.

although cui lu still had two lifestones left, she had already understood that being a bard was not her true path.

That’s why she deleted her account and started all over again, even if she had to start from scratch.

but she was still a little confused about zhao xu’s suggestion.

although there were not many forest rangers who had reached level 2, the choice of the level 2 ranger class ability ” combat style ” had already begun to debate.

As for whether it was archery or dual-wielding that was the real boss, it was basically a hot topic among forest patrollers.

However, the players had to experience the true strength of the skill themselves.

when zhao xu logged back into the game the next day, the golden dragon cainphas had already left and was nowhere to be found.

the shelter he had created with his spells also disappeared.

But now that Zhao Xu knew the real name of this ancient Golden Dragon cainphas, in a way, they had an additional layer of connection.

At this moment, the entire Nanyu forest had not completely cleared up, but the heavy rain from yesterday had already stopped. Only the occasional rain was left.

looking up, the entire sky was still covered with thick black clouds, blocking the sun, which also hinted that an even heavier storm would come at any time.

Zhao Xu didn’t care too much about it. Unless it was a violent storm or even a Blizzard, it wouldn’t be a problem for him, who had 14 Constitution, to get caught in the rain.

His 14 points of physique was already comparable to ordinary athletes who had trained to a certain extent.

But Zhao Xu still found a tree stump to sit down on and started to meditate and prepare his spells.

in the future, when he mastered the level 2 spell magic rope at level 3, he would have the most basic space to hide and avoid. he would not have to be so passive and worry about being disturbed by wild animals.

At first, Zhao Xu thought that he wouldn’t be able to reach Level 3 without at least two or three months, but he had barely reached Level 2 in less than ten days of going on an adventure, so he had to start preparing to become a second circle wizard.

Thinking back to his previous life, he had to swing his sword countless times before he could master the Tier 2 attack. Becoming a level 2 wizard now was like a dream.

After Zhao Xu prepared his spell, he stood up and dusted his butt off. He realized that the entire Southshore forest looked like it had been copied and pasted after the rain, and he almost couldn’t tell if he had been tricked by an illusion or not.

yesterday, he had been so confident that he felt as if the world was his home.

Now that he was more clear-headed, he had to find the main road of the caravan.

zhao xu couldn’t help but complain. that gold dragon cainphas had promised him that he would provide zhao xu with all sorts of services yesterday.

However, when Zhao Xu begged him to cast a teleportation spell, the originally elegant and graceful Golden Dragon immediately took over his body and started providing him with the service fee for using level 5 spells in the wizard Association.

according to the 50 gold coins for a level 5 spell base, multiplied by the level of the spellcaster required to cast the spell by 9 levels, the total was 450 gold coins.

At that time, the gold dragon cainphas had even acted as if he was selling it at a friendly price. He said that he didn’t calculate it based on his actual level as a level 19 or higher spellcaster, so it was as if he was selling it at half the price and that he was already being considerate towards Zhao Xu.

But before Zhao Xu’s brain was fried, he still rejected this suggestion.

now, 450 gold pieces was a huge fortune for the players.

if zhao xu couldn’t use the wizard association’s teleport portal, then he would naturally pay for it.

as for now, he only needed to spend a day and a half to get to a big town. the cost of 450 gold coins per carriage trip was too extravagant.

So Zhao Xu could only sigh as he took out a map of the three islands forest from his backpack. It included the northern, central, and Southern areas.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he managed to figure out a direction.

Arthur didn’t have magnetic poles like the earth, so he couldn’t take out a compass to determine the direction. He could only rely on the direction of the sun in the sky, the density of the forest, and some other more obvious signs to help with the analysis.

it was all thanks to the map that antonya had given him that he could read it all, which saved him a lot of effort.

Survival was a very useful skill when it came to training in the wild, but Zhao Xu didn’t put any of it into it.

otherwise, once the survival skill reached level 5, it would be able to automatically tell the direction.

Zhao Xu’s current way of throwing points was more towards the late game. Many of the skills that were practical in the early game and didn’t have much meaning in the later game, or could be replaced by spells, Zhao Xu would rather save his skill points and throw more knowledge skills, focus skills, and spell identification skills.

but no matter how much zhao xu tried to save up, he still couldn’t save up on the spell slots he needed to travel.

with the current lack of spell slots for wizards, they wouldn’t even be willing to invest in learning these spells, let alone casting them.

but after being exposed to the floating city for a month, zhao xu had already accepted this concept-if he couldn’t even enjoy the effects of magic, then there was no point in being a wizard.

Among the transportation spells, the floating disc lasted one hour per spellcaster’s level, and the summoned Mount lasted two hours per spellcaster’s level.

Zhao Xu considered the fact that he would really have to walk for a long time, so he decided to cast the ‘summon Mount’ spell.

just like that, he compared the map in his hand and checked his knowledge (nature) skill from time to time. after almost three hours, he finally arrived at a main road near nanyu forest.

Compared to the muddy roads of Nanyu forest, these main roads that had been specially maintained by the Tianbei merchant Union didn’t have much water on them, even though they had been through yesterday’s heavy rain. It only slightly affected the speed of the Light Horse that Zhao Xu was riding.

[ horsemanship ] was a magical skill that could help a character ride a horse in battle, but it wasn’t a big problem for zhao xu to just use it as a means of transportation.

zhao xu patted the light horse that he had just summoned, and the other party immediately picked up his pace.

“it’s so convenient to summon it.” zhao xu couldn’t help but praise him.

when they were passing through the canyon earlier, they had been on high alert, so zhao xu hadn’t felt much.

Now, he was riding alone after the rain, breathing in the fragrance of the forest. With his eyes filled with the verdant world, his heart more or less evoked the joy of his field trip in Arthur seven or eight years ago.

that was why he was in the mood to feel the lightness of his mount.

in his previous life, as a warrior, zhao xu had also bought a warhorse at a high price. warhorses were just like the sedans on earth, and they were a man’s pride.

zhao xu had spent a lot of money to get the various saddles and armor for that warhorse.

Now, he could summon a horse with just one spell. Although it couldn’t be used in battle, it saved him a lot of time to take care of it.

suddenly, just as he was looking at the map and estimating how far he was from north block, zhao xu realized that the horse he was riding had stopped and was not moving forward.

he raised his head. tens of meters away, there was a fence that spanned the entire trade route, and several fully armored cavalrymen with their bows drawn at him.

even more light-armored infantrymen were holding onto their spears and glaring at a passerby like him.

He had encountered a barrier.
