The Truth of Magic

Chapter 128

128 All first-level spells

even after antonya left, zhao xu still stood in front of the countless spell books and stared straight ahead.

according to what antonya had said, they had gotten in through the back door this time.

The completely sealed room was actually a projection of the final scroll, but the organization had dismantled it and attached it to the obelisk.

it was always hiding behind one of the walls of the obelisk.

Only those who had been on duty to watch over the scroll would know when and where the real back door projection would appear.

it was only through that back door that he could avoid the extremely troublesome procedures and tests.

A level 2 noob like Zhao Xu didn’t even have the right to know about it.

Zhao Xu even guessed that Antonya had once mentioned that the scrolls were stored under the obelisk, so he probably didn’t even know where the word ” underground ” was.

if the players outside knew that there was such a place, they would probably delete the game and protest.

Zhao Xu muttered to himself.

Even the outside archivist would be so envious that he would vomit blood.

a priest’s divine spells were bestowed by god.

the divine arts of the archivist were either studied or copied by them.

this was also why scribe scroll was a professional ability of archivist.

the arcane and divine versions of the same spell, such as detection magic, were different.

So, the archivist could only work hard to find the divine version to learn.

Compared to the large number of Arcane Scrolls and arcane spellbooks ...

Divine spell scrolls were very rare on the market because the priest’s class ability did not have a ” copy scroll “. If the priest wanted to copy a scroll, he would have to spend the spirituality of a specialty to learn it.

The number of priests who could naturally copy scrolls was far less than that of mages who could naturally copy.

As for the divine arts spellbook, it was even funnier.

Only archivicians needed such a thing. They also called it the Prayer Book, which was the source of joy and pain for archivers.

compared to mages who could at least spend money to borrow spell books from other mages, archmages had always been living below the poverty line and were tired of buying all kinds of rare divine spell scrolls.

Or, he could take the path of research and deliberation-to find secrets in various religious classics, holy books, and even ancient stone tablets and pillars, and deduce the divine spell he wanted with some clues.

The scarce number of archivers made it difficult for them to meet the same profession, not to mention the risk of losing spells by copying the Prayer Book.

And only those who could reach the depths of the final scroll could freely learn all the spells in the world like Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu finally understood.

why did antonya say that an archivist could learn all kinds of arcane spells and all kinds of divine spells?

This meant that all arcane spells had their own corresponding divine version. It was this loophole that allowed the scroll to become a full spell caster.

“Mage Armor.” zhao xu said softly.

He saw a magic book with golden edges fly down from the highest point in the sky and slowly land in front of Zhao Xu.

the magic book automatically popped open and its contents were presented in front of zhao xu.

It was as if an invisible hand was moving the pages, and the spell was flipped through page by page until it was revealed in front of Zhao Xu.

[adventurer zhongxia has successfully copied the divine version of Mage Armor through enlightened spellcaster.]

The dynamic panel immediately refreshed!

even though the divine version of the mage armor was similar to the arcane version.

but zhao xu didn’t expect that he would be able to grasp it by himself just by flipping through it in a hurry.

compared to other scroll scholars, who would take a day to understand these spells, his speed was a little too fast.

zhao xu also noticed that he didn’t cast read magic on himself, nor did he try to identify the spell. he just learned the spell on his own.

The Wizards in Arthur had a certain chance of failure when learning spells. If he failed, it would create a fog, and he could only wait for his spell identification ability to improve before trying to learn again.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu could only conclude that it was because of the special effects of the scroll.

zhao xu didn’t know how long he would be able to stay here, so he quickly summoned another spell book.

The level 1 divine spell, blessed precision, automatically opened up in front of Zhao Xu, and the pages flew past him.

it only took around ten seconds for zhao xu to get a general idea of what it was and he was just about to study it more closely.

Instantly, his status popped up again-

[ adventurer zhongxia has successfully copied the divine spell blessed precision through enlightened spellcaster. ]

This time, Zhao Xu felt a little guilty.

he raised his head in surprise and looked at the sky full of unfathomable and uncountable spell classics.

precision blessing ” was a level one divine spell for priests and Paladins. It could increase the long-range hit rate of teammates by about 10%.

This spell wasn’t one of the core spells that the gods had given to priests, and that was why Zhao Xu had specifically chosen it.

because he had never come into contact with this spiritual spell before. it was completely unfamiliar!

The core divine arts were mostly the most widespread and common spells.

as for divine spells outside of the core, they were usually only given to priests or by the gods if they had special encounters.

now that all the arcane and divine spells were recorded in the scroll space, zhao xu didn’t have to wait for the divine spell to appear every time he prayed, just like he did by drawing lots.

he could use whatever he learned.

zhao xu couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh as he thought about this.

He really wanted to study spells, but the organization didn’t give him the opportunity.

In this scroll space, he didn’t even need to use all kinds of stimulation to copy spells. It was equivalent to high-speed copying of various spells, and he didn’t need to pay the printing fee.

suddenly, zhao xu closed his eyes and noticed the difference in the spell list. he immediately summoned another spell book.

At this time, the Paladin’s level 1 divine spell, secondary energy shield, fell in front of him.

the whole process of copying the spell into his heart was still very smooth.

this time, zhao xu was able to confirm one thing again.

an archivist could take advantage of loopholes in spell levels.

even antonya couldn’t be bothered to brag about this.

” secondary energy shield ” was a spell that could block 5 points of elemental damage per round. if he had mastered this spell from the beginning, he could have reduced the druid’s lightning damage and had some room to fight back.

however,’secondary energy shield’ was a level 2 divine spell for priests.

but it was also a paladin level 1 divine spell.

Zhao Xu had used the secondary energy shield spell to successfully learn this Level 2 divine spell from the Paladin’s level 1 divine spell list, which could only be obtained by a level 3 cleric.

classes like paladins and forest rangers could only obtain divine arts in the later stages, and their own divine arts had not reached level nine, so many of the conditions were lower.

for the rest of the day, zhao xu looked at the list of all the classes and continuously picked out the spells he wanted from the spell books that stretched as far as the sky to learn.

Until he couldn’t even remember the names of the spells.

he had officially become one of the few ” spellcasters ” in arthur who had mastered most of the level 1 spells.

——————————————————————–

Even after Zhao Xu went offline, he still couldn’t shake off the excitement of being able to learn a spell so easily.

He lay on the bed, his entire body burning up from the excitement.

if his pulse were any faster, the protection of the helmet might activate and force him to disconnect.

This way, Zhao Xu’s body would remain in the game and he would fall into a deep sleep.

Only after the 20-minute cooldown time was over could he come back online and regain control of his body.

even though he knew this, zhao xu couldn’t hide his high spirits.

He had mastered almost all the first-level spells!

with enlightened spellcaster and the final scroll combined, he could learn spells like he did in traditional online games.

he received it with a “ding.”

this made zhao xu, who had a hobby of collecting things, feel a sense of spiritual satisfaction.

Who cares if it’s useful or not, I’ll learn it first.

anyway, antonya had reminded him to prepare useful spells and not rubbish spells, so it wouldn’t be too much for him to learn them.

For a normal wizard, even if they learned one spell a day and learned more than 300 spells a year, they would only barely be able to keep up with Zhao Xu’s progress in a day.

not to mention, there were also tens of thousands of gold coins for copying, as well as the cost of borrowing copies.

To Zhao Xu, money was actually a small matter.

it was mainly because learning spells saved him a lot of time.

Even the direct descendants of the top wizard families in Arthur wouldn’t have more than half the number of level 1 spells that Zhao Xu had.

There were some level 1 spells that one could not learn even if they wanted to.

he might not even know the name of the spell, let alone a spell book.

It was no wonder Antonya had been too lazy to give him those Level 1 arcane spell scrolls in the beginning.

In the end, he had insisted on using the time on the road to exchange for a stack of scrolls to copy and study.

this was because the other party had already planned to let him enter the final scroll.

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Xu took off his VR helmet and rolled out of bed.

It was around eight or nine O ‘clock in the evening, so the dormitory was empty. There was a class basketball game in the stadium tonight, and basically everyone had gone to participate.

in order to learn most of the level 1 spells in one go, zhao xu didn’t even have time to log off for dinner.

he wanted to open the take-out app and order one, but he saw a message in x-mail. it was zhang qi’s message, telling him to come and watch tonight’s deathmatch if he went offline.

Zhao Xu shook his head and laughed, but he still couldn’t help but get up and get ready to go.

It wasn’t good to be separated from the group for too long.

in his previous life, even though there were conflicts and conflicts in the class, after transmigrating, everyone was still able to unite and fight for greater benefits because of the class level resources.

Zhao Xu had been able to take over as the town’s security officer when he was about to reach Level 3 because of his class. It was similar to the head of the security Department in a County on earth.

As Zhao Xu walked down the dormitory stairs, he turned on his phone and started to browse the trending posts on the forum.

I’ll have to trouble the floating city of Mystra to boast. If you can’t produce any evidence, don’t brag about how a player mastered the copying scroll in 22 minutes!

” you can brag, but can you brag again after breaking the mage training record? ”

zhao xu found it a little strange.

in the first half of the year in his previous life, mystra wasn’t even a hot topic on the forums. the mages of mystra were all struggling in secret.

It was only when he entered the game eight months after the server opened that he gained a little popularity.

Even after transmigrating, no one knew which high-level mages among the players were from Mystra.

Why were there three or four hot posts condemning it in the early stages?

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel curious, so he immediately opened up the forum post to read the details.
