The Truth of Magic

Chapter 122

122 chapter 121-the person who was left behind

Upon hearing wizard Nochi’s words, the entire lecture hall was in an uproar.

even if wizard nochi was a legendary ninth-circle wizard who had reached the level of unfathomable heavenly might, it was still difficult for him to suppress the countless novice wizards who desperately squeezed in just to show their faces.

at least half of the lectures given by legendary-mages were closed-door lectures.

even some of the more high-level lectures were difficult for most novice mages to come into contact with, and only the mages at the level of mentor would receive the news.

this time, wizard nochi’s lecture on transformation was so popular because the entire lecture was open to all, and only tickets were accepted.

For the novice mages in the floating city, these high-level mages ‘open lectures were only given a few times a month.

This was the benefit that a novice mage could see and touch.

only by performing in such lectures could they gain the greatest value, because they were not only performing to the mages who held the lectures, but also to the group of high-level mages sitting below and listening.

The floating city had never been short of legends of people who amazed the world with their lectures and were later accepted as assistants or even disciples by a teacher.

so, since the lecture was announced on the dormitory board last night, many novice mages who were born in noble families in the kingdom began to secretly try to get this ticket.

This was also the reason why there were very few players in this lecture. From the beginning, most of the tickets were swallowed up by the underground network.

Only a small number of players who were liked by the instructors could directly obtain the tickets from them.

The tickets that Zhao Xu had been holding were all tickets that Antonya had given him. Even the lecture schedule in his hands was the full schedule of the entire lecture in floating city.

even the office of affairs in the floating city might not have everything he had.

he even had the illusion that the office of the floating city would distribute tickets for free.

Such a difference made him unable to react for a moment to why everyone was so excited.

wasn’t it just this lecture?

however, even the few thorny newbie mages who were born in a good family didn’t dare to make a sound.

No one had the courage to insult a ninth-circle wizard.

those who didn’t have 17 intelligence could only pick up the materials that stay up late had prepared all night and leave the lecture hall.

the tickets that had cost a lot of money were rendered useless by a single word from a ninth-circle mage. this was the principle of the floating city that had not changed for thousands of years.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xu was rubbing his head.

He had 17 attributes on his stats window, but it was a pity that it was empty.

It would take another 11 months for the intelligence to be fully implemented, when the human race would perish.

Zhao Xu was just about to lift his butt up, but he hesitated.

That day, after he had transformed into the blazing God’s servant, he had killed the cavalrymen who had participated in the killing of the prisoners, as well as Tucker and his followers.

it was more because of his anger at his own powerlessness.

According to Antonya’s wishes, he could go on an adventure and have fun. After all, he had the “body transformation” as his trump card. If that didn’t work out, he could just run away after transforming.

the true power of “body transformation” was that it could transform into another creature every round. the tens of thousands of different creatures in arthur were the most powerful backup of this spell.

however, zhao xu, who only had one spell, wasn’t a ninth-circle wizard.

he couldn’t even stop the other party’s attack, because even if he changed his form, he couldn’t stop the other party’s butcher knife.

So when Zhao Xu returned to the floating city this time, he was determined to become a powerful wizard.

When he transformed into the blazing sky God’s servant, he had an invincible warrior’s style as he reaped lives. This was the final split between Zhao Xu and the warrior Soul he had in his previous life.

That was why he was so determined to not use candles, but to use the ‘body transformation’ spell at a higher cost. He wanted to turn into a killing machine on the battlefield just like in his previous life.

the moment the blazing sky god’s servant finished transforming, it was also the moment that the former warrior zhao xu died.

wizard zhao xu’s new student.

Zhao Xu sat down again after he figured this out.

Even if he wanted to become a battle Mage that focused on strength, that would only mean that his spells had to cover a wide area, have different countermeasures, be good at both moving and static defense, and have all kinds of spells to attack and control the enemy.

he still needed to have enough knowledge in magic.

“Little brother, do you have a problem with your intelligence?” Qi Lin quickly noticed that something was off with Zhao Xu and quickly asked in a low voice.

no matter how zhao xu listened to it, he felt like this was an insult, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger and reply, ” “no, it’s just that the stool is hard.”

The fat man looked at the soft cushion behind Zhao Xu in surprise. He had sat on it before, and the top layer was made of goose down and cotton, which was the most suitable for his body shape. How could it be hard?

Thinking of this, he turned back to look at his hardwood folding chair and suddenly felt a pain in his butt.

at this moment, almost one-third of the people in the main hall had already left, which was a little out of zhao xu’s expectations.

he didn’t expect that there would be so many people with 17 or 18 intelligence.

one had to know that looking at the data, it seemed like an increase of 1 point was 1 point in the attribute, a linear increase, but in reality, the effect was an exponential increase.

In the strength attribute, every 5 points increase would roughly double the weight.

therefore, an intelligence of 17 or 18 was the peak of a human who had not leveled up.

“little brother, it’s not strange. mystra has gathered the smartest wizards in all of arthur, so they must be very good on average. Moreover, the tuition fees for further studies here are not a small burden to the noble royal family. Therefore, those who can come are definitely the most talented ones.”

wizard lynch appeared at the right time and explained everything to zhao xu.

back then, he’d thought he was the smartest, but he’d been hit hard by the cruel reality. who would’ve thought that mystra didn’t lack geniuses?

after zhao xu heard this, he nodded his head at the fat lin qi in his eyes to express his gratitude. he felt that this fat man who was always so familiar and a little greasy was not as annoying as before.

Wizard Nochi, who was standing on the stage, nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, the number of people left was not beyond his expectations. From his family background of no power or influence, he understood that the novice mages who could squeeze into this place were actually from families that were not too bad.

Even the ” headband of intellect, ” which the mages yearned for to increase their intelligence attribute, was worn by quite a few people.

with his 15 points of intelligence attribute, as long as he matched it with the +2 headband of intellect, he would be able to meet his requirements.

However, wizard Nochi merely sneered, causing the novice Wizards who were listening to the lecture to feel a chill in their hearts.

the headband of intelligence could be passed down from generation to generation, but it was not necessarily the case for magic talent.

“Mages who haven’t used the ‘core four transformations’ spell can also leave. This course has nothing to do with you.”

Wizard Nochi placed his hands behind his back and looked at the audience who were waiting to begin.

At this time, even though the number of people had decreased, the seated audience still made an even louder wave of noise.

The newbie mages who had stayed behind were still proud of their intelligence, as they had lost some competitors. When they heard this, they were all stunned.

the four core transformations referred to level two shapeshifting, level four shapeshifting, level eight shapeshifting, and level nine physical transformation.

this sentence meant that all level 1 and 2 novice wizards would be kicked out.

“preposterous!” At this moment, a wizard who was sitting not too far behind Zhao Xu stood up and walked out angrily.

Zhao Xu noticed that he was wearing the robe of a fourth-circle wizard.

He did not expect a Level-7 wizard to not have mastered the core fourth form.

it was understandable that the man had not mastered the level four shapeshifting spell, but he had not even mastered the level two shapeshifting spell?

Shapeshifting could allow a person to turn into a creature of the same size. For example, Zhao Xu could use this spell to turn into an elf. There were also many other ways to use it, so shapeshifting was definitely a very popular spell.

when it came to transfiguration, there were even more types of transfigurations, and there were even fewer restrictions on hit dice. this was close to the traditional concept of transfiguration.

zhao xu thought to himself that there were definitely some other levels to the shapeshifting spell that he didn’t know about.

“Sigh, I’m just here to learn about the powerful transformation.” the fat lin qi felt sorry for the intermediate mages who had left.

intermediate wizards who could cast level 4 to level 6 spells were already part of arthur’s core strength. the advanced wizards who were level 7 and above that zhao xu frequently came into contact with were just a small part of arthur’s strength.

The entire Hall instantly went from two-thirds to less than a quarter of the people. Only a few high-level mages could continue to sit there calmly, not paying the slightest attention to Nochi’s following conditions. In any case, they would definitely satisfy it.

but zhao xu noticed that fatty lin qi was also putting away his chair, so he couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “why are you also leaving? You don’t know how to do it either?”

On the other hand, fatty Lin Qi looked at the unmoved Zhao Xu with a surprised expression.

” i should be the one asking you, ” he said in a low voice. ” why aren’t you leaving? ”

“didn’t you see that those intermediate mages didn’t dare to hide anything? they left obediently even if they didn’t master the level 2 transformation spell. If you insist on staying, you’ll be provoking a ninth-circle wizard.”

Fatty Qi Lin couldn’t help but reveal a trace of fear as he spoke.

” i’d advise you to leave quickly. the first circle mage’s robe you’re wearing is too eye-catching. it’s useless even if you have the glittering mithril. that wizard nochi can’t tolerate any mishaps. ”

the fat lin qi tried to persuade zhao xu impatiently, thinking that the other party would quickly leave.

but zhao xu continued to remain unmoved.

Fatty Qi Lin waited for a while, but Zhao Xu still didn’t stand up to give up his seat, so he could only awkwardly open his own bench and sit down.

“Eh? Aren’t you going to leave?”

Zhao Xu’s words were like a knife to her heart.

Oh, I forgot that I just mastered the Level 4 shapeshifting spell this afternoon. Sigh, I can’t help it. People’s memory will deteriorate when they get old.

fatty lin qi gritted his teeth and said angrily.

at this moment, when he saw that only a quarter of the people were left, wizard nochi nodded in satisfaction.

After two more rounds, one-tenth would be enough.

He thought contemptuously,’how could these weak mages with their brains stuffed with mud be able to master transformation?

However, his gaze had been constantly scanning the back row, and when he finally retracted it, he found a man wearing a level 1 mage’s robe sitting in the corner of the first row.

the rank 1 wizard in the corner, which of the core four transformations spell have you used? ”
