The Truth of Magic

Chapter 130

130 requirements for promotion

the next day, when zhao xu logged back into the game, he realized that he was actually in his dorm.

when he went back to the seventh floor to look for antonya, he found out that the method he thought he had used to log off was completely ineffective in the artifact space-his body was still there.

zhao xu had wanted to thank antonya out of politeness. after all, it wasn’t easy for a girl to carry him back to her dormitory.

but antonya said that she was too lazy to even walk, so how could she possibly go out of her way to carry him?

in the end, zhao xu still couldn’t figure out who had taken his body to his dormitory in the obelisk.

when antonya heard that zhao xu had finally finished copying all the level 1 spells, she was finally a little more satisfied with him.

at this point, zhao xu’s only remaining task was to learn dark knowledge (battle strategy).

then, after awakening, he became an archivist.

The entire process was like building blocks, and Zhao Xu couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

but thinking back, he actually had some foundation in the principles of magic, at least he didn’t have to learn the incantations and postures again.

This was also the reason why everyone was able to level up so quickly in his previous life. Even if they created a new character, they could quickly pick up many things.

otherwise, there wouldn’t be a warrior who could reach level 10 in a year.

this was even more so for zhao xu, who had both arcane magic and divine magic.

But after Zhao Xu finished listening to the description of the dark knowledge (tactics) ability, he was a little confused.

dark knowledge was a series of abilities, an ability to deal with monsters. the first ability, tactics, could be used three times a day.

this ability didn’t require him to do anything. all he needed to do was to do a knowledge check.

After passing the test to connect to the knowledge source, he would gain the advantage against the corresponding monster.

it was no wonder that people said that knowledge was power. in arthur, knowledge skills could also be used to fight monsters.

However, it was rather complicated to use this ability. For example, when facing a magic beast, he had to use the knowledge (mysterious) skill to activate it.

in the face of the undead creatures, he had to use his knowledge (religion).

But after Zhao Xu read through the introduction, he realized that there was no way to awaken it.

In the end, after thinking about it for almost half an hour, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask Antonya for advice.

the antonya in front of him was a double elite, so it was possible that her other career path would be to become a level 30 archivist.

According to the fact that there were very few archivers, Antonya was probably the highest-ranking archivist.

“you know what?” antonya asked zhao xu in return, “actually, no one knows who the first archivist in the world was. It’s just like how no one knows who was the first warrior.”

the first mage was the first goddess of magic.

but what did this have to do with his awakening as an archivist?

Zhao Xu suddenly had an idea.

When he had gone up to the floating city, the black-robed mage had said that the other girl was also a scroll holder and had taken a different teleportation gate.

didn’t that mean that dossiers still had a place to cultivate?

it was only because he had antonya with him that he didn’t have to go to those small classes.

and antonya had never hidden anything from him.

There could only be one reason.

mentor, so you’re saying that dark knowledge (tactics) is an ability that all archivers comprehend on their own by describing their abilities? ”

“it’s not wrong for you to understand it this way.” Antonya was sitting at her desk and flipping through some books. It was as if she had no other hobbies other than reading.

No, wasting spells was probably one of her hobbies.

But when he thought about this, Zhao Xu’s head started to hurt. at first, he thought that the difficulty of dossiers was the same as mages, which was copying spells.

From li tiange to the countless victims of the sorcerers on the internet, to the owners of the IDs that said, “is it easy being a sorcerer today?” no one could copy out a spell with that kind of divine charm.

However, the scroll was the exact opposite. It was actually stuck at the step of mastering ability, which was certainly a little strange.

Zhao Xu was even more confused when he thought about how an archivist’s strongest skill was the spell list.

zhao xu suddenly stood up.

“teacher, i’m going to the library of knowledge.”

In the archivist’s dark knowledge (tactics), knowledge (mystery) corresponded to magical beasts, knowledge (dungeon) corresponded to monsters, knowledge (religion) corresponded to undead creatures, and knowledge (plane) corresponded to elements and Otherworld creatures.

Then his answer might be in this knowledge.

If you don’t understand, turn the pages. This sentence had not deceived anyone.

As she watched Zhao Xu disappear into the distance, Antonya started to hum a song softly under her hood.

It was like a familiar melody.

—————————————————————————-

For the next three days, Zhao Xu used up all the skill points he had gained from leveling up with his knowledge domain.

He had also upgraded several of his knowledge, but there was still no reminder about dark knowledge.

it was reasonable.

if it was so easy to awaken a special ability, the streets would be full of people with this ability.

that was why some specializations and class abilities required all sorts of complicated procedures.

even mages who focused on learning had to go through an awakening ceremony, not to mention the acquisition of some of the previous specialties.

zhao xu let out a long sigh of relief and then silently closed the book ” monsters, see you again monsters ” in his hand.

In the morning, he had even gone to Antonya to borrow the monster guide again. He had focused on the five types of monsters to read, but it was a pity that it was completely useless.

That was why he went to Arthur’s monster archive in the afternoon to gain more knowledge about the five types of monsters, but he still didn’t find anything.

Zhao Xu felt that there had to be a deep connection between the powers of an archivist and these monsters.

The monster archive. Wizards who chose to fight and adventure would usually come here to search for information. Spell casters who wanted to study the four core forms would also come here often.

Zhao Xu’s head was almost spinning as he read, but he still couldn’t find the key to finding an awakened archivist.

“little brother zhongxia, it’s been a long time.” suddenly, zhao xu heard a familiar voice from behind him.

Zhao Xu turned around and saw that it was the fat wizard Lynch that he had met during the Transfiguration lecture.

Lin Qi was also holding a book in his hands. He used his chubby hands to cover most of the cover, but Zhao Xu could still tell that it was a succubus from its hooves.

zhao xu couldn’t help but move his chair a little further away from the man as he thought about this.

“haha, little brother, you’ve been studying transformation recently?”

Qi Lin sat down right next to Zhao Xu, and after the meat on his stomach had settled down, he continued, ” “what’s the problem?”

zhao xu looked at fatty lin qi and thought that maybe he had some clues.

“do you know how to identify the weakness of a monster?” he asked.

“Flaws?”

“I think I’ve heard of it.” Suddenly, fatty Lin Qi fell into deep thought.

“oh, i remember now.” then, he stood up and suddenly ran to the end of the row of bookshelves.

After five whole minutes, just as Zhao Xu was about to start looking for another book to read ...

suddenly, lynch appeared again and placed a heavy book on his desk.

when he saw that it was still covered in dust and that lin qi’s fat handprint, zhao xu was a little touched. he didn’t know how many things lin qi had gone through to get him this.

“Thank you for taking so long to find this book for me,” Zhao Xu said with his head lowered.

“Time? No, it’s just three or four meters behind you on the bookcase. I just ate too much for lunch and went to the bathroom to solve it. ” fatty qi lin said as he touched his stomach.

“......”

zhao xu was a little tired of communicating with others, so he decided that it was better for him to just read through the books.

at this time, he opened the book that fatty gave him and found that it was actually a religious classic,”knowledge and divine power, the path of piety.”

the ability described in the book was really similar to the dark knowledge (tactics) of an archivist, and the scope of limitations was smaller.

it described an ability to give up a domain and turn it into a specialty.

There were many books in this series, and this one just happened to give up the ” domain of knowledge ” to gain the ” devout knowledge ” specialty.

this way, when he was fighting monsters, he could still get an insight reward for his attack and damage.

This meant that he was more sensitive to the other party’s weakness.

it was similar to dark knowledge, but it was also different.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu could only thank fatty Lin Qi for his kind intentions. He then gently closed the book.

“Didn’t you want this ability?” fatty lin qi asked.

“it’s a good ability, but i’ll study it when i have the chance in the future.”

Zhao Xu said. He wasn’t being perfunctory this time. In reality, he thought that this ability was pretty good.

” that’s for sure. the reason why this book can appear here for everyone to read is because you can’t pass the test of god. ”

when zhao xu heard this, he laughed. he had been stuck at every level, but he had never been stuck at being a cleric.

” hehe, don’t doubt me. if you’re not devout to a certain extent, you won’t be able to master this devout series of abilities. my aunt, for example, wants this ability, but-”

fatty qi lin suddenly felt that zhao xu’s body seemed to have become a little brighter, but all the spells on his body were telling him that this was all just an illusion and that nothing had happened.

thinking of this, lin qi turned his head and focused his attention on the rare female mages in the archive.

zhao xu looked at his own notification in surprise.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you are about to awaken the power of ” devout knowledge. do you wish to sacrifice your ” knowledge domain ” as the price? ]

It was precisely because he was favored that he was fearless.

when did the dark knowledge ability also appear in his status bar?

zhao xu sighed and couldn’t be bothered to make a choice, so he just walked back.

He had wanted to go back to his room, but for some reason, he ended up in Antonya’s office.

antonya looked at zhao xu, who had been troubled for the past few days, and she knew that he was starting to doubt himself.

“Since you can’t be awakened, why don’t you change your profession and continue to improve as a priest? Aren’t you favored by the goddess?”

But ever since Zhao Xu’s body changed that time, he had become less inclined to go with the flow.

I’m indeed a little desperate, “he said as he looked at Antonya. ”

Even though it had only been three days, Zhao Xu, who had been through even longer periods of time before, knew that he wouldn’t be able to find any clues in these three days.

A long period of time wouldn’t make people despair, it was more like there were no gains.

but, life is about climbing on the road of despair.

zhao xu quietly added on to his previous life’s thoughts.

“Then remember this state.” antonya suddenly chuckled.

“What-”

before zhao xu could say anything, a stone slab appeared in front of him.

Along with it, there was a notification.

[ adventurer zhongxia has read the ancient stone slab and officially become an archivist. ]
