“Mages, don’t worry. Just now, the energy output power was suddenly adjusted, and there was a large fluctuation, which accidentally affected this place. Even if those barriers disappear, those inferior demons won’t be able to come out.”

A guide in charge of the lemur testing hall explained to the mages after being pulled over.

originally, the entire battle test hall had sufficient energy reserves, but when the 14th floor was activated, the energy consumed by the first floor was too little, and the energy fluctuations were still affected.

Just like a boat on the sea, even a slight wave on the sea surface was enough to make the boat shake.

“then you have to send someone here to keep watch.” A novice mage player complained.

“I’m really sorry about that. We’ve just handed it over, so we were careless.” at this moment, the guide walked over, picked up the panel hanging on the wall, and re-registered the data.

one, two, three, four.

Suddenly, when the guide counted to eight, his voice stopped.

he looked at the new mages and complained, ” “Didn’t it say on the wall that you can’t focus fire?”

The new mages looked at each other, not understanding what the other party was saying.

” each of your light crossbows has the corresponding number of inferior demons on it. you have to shoot those corresponding inferior demons. don’t shoot others by mistake and kill them. you have to know that it takes a lot of effort to restart summoning of inferior demons. we specially gave these inferior demons 8 points of rapid healing, but we’re too lazy to keep summoning them.”

The guide looked at the few novice mages and taught them.

that’s not right. We didn’t even touch that light crossbow, let alone focus fire on it. a novice mage complained.

at this moment, another novice wizard suddenly remembered and quickly explained, ” ” i just saw someone else here. he might have killed them. besides, you didn’t say that you couldn’t kill these underlings. ”

“Heh, these lemures with 9 HP that have been modified to be immune to heavy strikes can not be killed by the light crossbow in your hand that can only deal 8 HP at most? those logistics team members kept on yelling that they only had 1 hp left to mess with you guys, and then they instantly filled up their hp. now, look at them.”

The test guide retorted while looking at the field. Suddenly, his pupils shrank.

The badge of the ninth dead demon was in a remote corner, and there was half a Broken Arrow on it.

———————————————–

After Zhao Xu came out of the tactical testing hall, he was still immersed in the power of the devoutness of knowledge and the dark knowledge (tactics).

The power of the devout knowledge was determined by the results of his knowledge check.

if his knowledge check was only 15, it would only be the lowest rank 1 insight.

The result of the check was 16-25 for Rank 2,26 -30 for rank 3, and then 36+ for rank 5 rewards.

However, when he was able to verify this result, those rewards no longer had much meaning to him.

however, in the early stages, it was indeed a huge advantage for him.

even if he used a level 1 spell, it might not have been effective for such a long time.

On the other hand, there were three thresholds for the dark literacy check. The difficulty was 15,25, and 35, respectively. If the knowledge check’s result exceeded them, one would receive an upgrade of one to three tiers.

One day, when Zhao Xu’s corresponding knowledge skill was 36 points, he would be able to gain an entire eight levels!

Level 5 came from devout knowledge, and Level 3 came from dark knowledge.

in his previous life, zhao xu had been a level 5 warrior, and his basic attacks had only reached the fifth step. adding on the fourth step that he’d gained from adjusting his strength, his attack power was only around the ninth step.

compared to this 8th rank increase, it did feel like he was feeding a dog.

However, the prerequisite was that Zhao Xu had to be able to get 36 points of knowledge for the test.

he was only level 2 now, and the highest knowledge skill was only level 5. with the addition of 3 intelligence adjustment points, the skill level was only 8.

even if he could stack 1 – 20 points of knowledge origin when he checked his knowledge skills, the maximum would be 28 points, which was at most a tier 5 power increase.

suddenly, zhao xu stopped in his tracks.

he remembered that a few days ago, when he was copying the spell dossiers, there seemed to be a spell that could increase the power of his skill check.

zhao xu immediately started to search through the spells in his mind.

improvisation, one of the unique spells of level 1 bards, could add 1 luck to skills and even attacks.

the “skill enhancement” of a level 1 wizard’s extended spell could provide him with 4 points of skill environment bonus. the same level 1 spell, “song of knowledge,” could provide 5 skill performance bonus points.

Moreover, the bonus points provided by these three spells were all linked to the level of the caster.

At the same time, luck, performance, and environment could be stacked from different sources.

Luck came from the aspect of luck.

His performance would improve his level of play this time.

The environment was the support given to him by his surroundings. For example, using support tools could improve the environment.

even if zhao xu only used the wizard’s extended spell, strengthen, and song of knowledge, he could still stack one of his knowledge skills up to a 36-point chance of getting a check.

Zhao Xu took a deep breath.

he began to understand that when he had obtained the full spell list, others could only achieve one or two abilities, but he could achieve many, and thus stack them up to a terrifying result.

Even if he connected to the source of knowledge and the D20 (1 – 20) check didn’t have a good number, he could check again with the Bard’s level 1 unique spell, “immediate assistance.

This was probably the most superficial manifestation of the legendary spellcaster’s ability to reverse fate.

zhao xu also became very wary of himself. immediate cooperation was a spell that could increase his movement speed, so he probably had to be prepared for it at all times.

At that time, more than 300 spells had hit him, and he had been busy awakening his ability as an archivist for a few days after that, so he had forgotten to sort them out again.

he had completely forgotten about this when he was in the test hall.

although the level of the spellcaster who decided the effect of his spells was very low, and the ain stone was only level 2 in the wizard level 3 scroll, the buffs and duration of these spells were very short.

however, when he reached a higher level in the future, he could even match these spells with long-lasting spells and turn them into permanent spells that lasted for 24 hours. he could only use them when he needed to.

Then he really was a little invincible.

even when zhao xu returned to the obelisk, his mind was still continuously arranging the level 1 spells and analyzing their uses.

compared to other wizards who had to spend a lot of time studying a spell or even read a thick background book of spells, zhao xu took less than a minute to learn each spell on average.

He could barely remember the names of many spells thanks to the projection of the descriptions of those spells in his mind at any time.

this was also the reason why the wizards in arthur knew the various ways to use spells. they had already experienced hardships from the moment they learned spells.

after they learned the spells, they could write a thesis on how to use them.

Therefore, it was like summoning an invisible servant to carry a bag of soil to explore the way and kill a mine, or using the giant spell to trap the enemy in a narrow passage. These were just the most basic operations.

When Zhao Xu went upstairs, he realized that Antonya had already returned and was sitting there, reading a book as usual.

It was as if she had nothing to do in her life other than reading books.

“Teacher.” zhao xu said to antonya.

“How did the test go?” Antonya asked.

“Ah? teacher, how did you know that i went to take the test?”

zhao xu didn’t expect antonya to even know that he had torn a test paper from a pile of trash.

antonya didn’t say much about this. she just kept a faint smile on her face under her hood.

by the way, teacher, why do archivers also have a divine version of the Bard’s spell? ”

zhao xu thought about all the spells that bards had in his list. many of them were arcane spells that only bards could cast, and even wizards and warlocks couldn’t master them.

“It seems like you’ve noticed those few skills and spells?” Antonya said simply, ” some of them were derived from a variant of a divine poet. in fact, through domains, we can replace all arcane spells with divine spells. You don’t have to worry too much about it, just use it. ”

even though zhao xu didn’t really understand what antonya was saying, that didn’t stop him from nodding.

If there were eggs, he would just eat them. He didn’t have to worry about how the hens hatched.

“then how many spells do you have on you, mentor?” zhao xu couldn’t help but feel curious.

today, after he realized the power of those spells, he had begun to plan the list of spells he needed to carry with him in the future.

As for Antonya, who had the ability to sustain her spells for a long time, and was also a high level spellcaster, how many spells would she be able to pick?

at this moment, antonya suddenly raised both of her hands and stared at the ten fingers on them, as if she was counting.

Just as Zhao Xu was about to ask, Antonya replied in one breath, ” “seventy or eighty? it should be less than a hundred.”

when zhao xu heard this, he almost wanted to ask antonya the same question again.

However, seeing that the other party had already continued reading, the answer was self-evident.

A level 20 spell with 30 intelligence only had 57 spell slots from Level 1 to level 9.

zhao xu finally understood why antonya, who had potential points to restore her spell slots, burned her spells like this.

It could only be said that there were two types of mages in this world. One was those with potential points, and the other was those without.

Oh right, you should go and participate in a technique training later. antonya suddenly said.

zhao xu had heard of “techniques” before, but he didn’t have any impression of them.

“didn’t you expose clayon’s spell in the mine? you think that the other party didn’t cast a spell, but was still able to separate your teammate, so you think that your dead teammate is an illusion.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

“next time, don’t make such an embarrassing guess. otherwise, people will laugh at you for being ignorant.”

the ability to conceal your casting can hide your casting actions. This way, others won’t be able to recognize you casting a spell, let alone counter your spell.

“you should go and learn this ability later.”
