The Truth of Magic

Chapter 171

171 golem protective goggles

as time passed, the concentration of magic energy in the air gradually increased.

antonya’s arcane sight that was always on her body could usually only detect the effects of a spell that had already taken shape.

but with her sensitivity as a legendary wizard, she could already sense that a vortex of energy had formed around zhao xu’s body, and it was slowly gathering around him.

after the magic energy flowed through zhao xu’s body, it was straightened out and then trembled again. then it landed on another important star position in the ritual.

zhao xu’s star cloak had been placed on top of the stars.

there were two ways to choose a ritual item.

the first was the risk dispersion, where all kinds of magic items had corresponding uses, so that even if some of them were damaged, they would not suffer heavy losses.

The other type was a risk-focused type, and Zhao Xu chose the starry cloak as his magic pet item. It was an item that he couldn’t lose.

zhao xu wasn’t afraid of this at all, so he continued to add extra points to the cloak and make it the medium for the ritual.

This way, Zhao Xu only needed to take care of the safety of this cloak in the future.

Many players even thought that they could die, but they couldn’t lose their equipment.

Antonya only relaxed when she saw that the starry cloak was also glowing with a crystal-like light. She knew that Zhao Xu had not caused any trouble this time.

after antonya let out a sigh of relief, she let go of the time backtrack talisman that she had been holding in her hand.

In the end, fine sand kept dripping down from the hourglass in the corner, and then the bottle was turned upside down, and sand started to fall again. This cycle repeated four times.

zhao xu’s eyes slowly opened, and the starry cloak in front of him also returned to normal.

zhao xu immediately grabbed the cloak and put it on. he once again felt the mysterious power coming from the cloak.

[ adventurer zhongxia has equipped ” Star Cloak, ” spellcaster level +1. ]

after zhao xu cast the ain stone, he saw on his character stats that his arcane spell caster level had increased to level 5, the priest’s divine spell caster level was level 3, and the scroll was level 4.

his spellcaster level had increased by two levels due to the ain stone and the ritual.

This time, Zhao Xu’s self-directed and self-directed ritual had finally succeeded.

“It’s done,” antonya let out a light yawn. after sitting down for eight hours, she was starting to feel a little sleepy.

“then, teacher, i’ll take my leave first?” zhao xu estimated that it was getting late and that it would probably be around 3 or 4 am.

he didn’t need to prepare many spells the next morning. all he had to do was go to the place antonya had told him to hand it over and get his other magic item.

“Okay, let’s wait for a while.”

at this moment, antonya walked over to zhao xu. “give me your hand.”

zhao xu was more or less used to her way of thinking, so he rolled up his sleeves as antonya told him to.

“what pattern do you want?”

“Patterns? As you wish.”

Zhao Xu was a little surprised. Antonya didn’t have to go so far as to start doodling on his hands like an elementary school student, right?

Antonya reached out with her white fingertips and gently tapped Zhao Xu’s arm.

suddenly, zhao xu felt a warm current flowing into his body. he felt a little hot and a little numb.

After Antonya was done, she turned around and left. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water.

at this moment, a small flower with six petals appeared on zhao xu’s wrist where a normal person would wear a watch.

this was the mark that antonya usually gave to her magic items.

zhao xu couldn’t help but rub it with his hands and realized that the pattern was like a tattoo, and it had already seeped deep into his skin.

if he let asvich see this cute little flower, she would definitely laugh to death.

But after Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, he quickly calmed down and started thinking.

guess what I just did. If you can guess it right within 10 seconds, I can lend you this talisman for a while before you come back.

As she spoke, Antonya took off the talisman that she had been wearing in front of her chest and showed it to Zhao Xu.

the amulet had a brass chain on it, and the bottom was connected to a narrow hourglass with a thin mouth. the two ends of the hourglass were fastened by a gold base.

But Zhao Xu didn’t have the time to look at it anymore.

antonya was able to wear it on her person and not put it in her bag.

He didn’t even dare to guess its value. If he wasn’t careful, he could easily underestimate it by ten times.

But there was one thing that was undeniable, and that was that it had to be strong enough, so strong that Antonya would think that it was useful.

and the moment the flower appeared, zhao xu immediately checked his entire body.

So, he didn’t hesitate at all. As soon as Antonya finished speaking, he said, ” “making magic tattoos.”

after she heard zhao xu’s reply, antonya’s eyes lit up. she was finally satisfied with zhao xu’s reaction.

The magic tattoo was a level 2 Arcana spell, and each person could only have three tattoos on their body.

the power of the tattoo was divided into three levels and a total of eight types. as the spellcaster’s level increased, they would be able to cast a tattoo of a higher level.

From the simplest to increase defense level by 1, to the strongest “spellcaster level +1 “, they were all the effects of spells.

Zhao Xu looked at his spellcasting level, which had now reached Level 6, and he knew that this was the strongest level effect that Antonya had chosen.

zhao xu had once cast this spell on himself when he learned it in the final scroll.

however, the ‘spellcaster level +1’ effect required the spellcaster to be above level 13.

Even though this didn’t require a level 13 wizard, Zhao Xu still couldn’t reach that level, so he never thought about using this spell to level up.

He didn’t expect Antonya to just cast this spell on him.

but antonya clearly wasn’t just asking about the spell’s name.

Zhao Xu quickly added, ” mentor, you used a ‘supernatural spell’ ability, and it was paired with a delayed spell effect.

“you can be considered to have improved now.”

zhao xu was wiping away his sweat. luckily, when he blurted it out, he noticed that the countdown for this spell was a full 48 hours.

When the time was up, the tattoo would disappear, and the effect of the natural spell would also disappear.

The casting time for making a magic tattoo was 10 minutes. In fact, the casting process was also the tattoo process, and the duration of the spell was 24 hours.

And this spell itself required a tattoo needle and ink for the tattoo, and Antonya had only pressed it lightly for a few seconds, and she hadn’t used any ink at all.

so zhao xu guessed that this was the same as when he had cast the wish spell. he had also used the class ability of the rune guardian, ” supernatural magic. ”

this ability could turn a spell into a supernatural ability. on the one hand, the casting time was reduced to less than six seconds, and on the other hand, spell materials such as tattoo needles and tattoo ink could be saved.

zhao xu could only look on in envy at this. he had to be level 9 to get this ability.

At that time, he wouldn’t need to bring that pile of silly spell materials with him to cast spells.

This was especially true for the second-level spell, “spider walk,” which required the spellcaster to swallow a Spider and obtain the spider’s ability to climb vertically.

zhao xu knew that he wouldn’t be able to do this much for a spell. in any case, if he really needed to use it, he could just spend one potential point to simulate the material exemption for casting or use a magic scroll to cast a spell.

As for the magic tattoo creation spell, its duration had been increased from 24 hours to 48 hours. This was naturally because Antonya had paired it with the spell delay spell, which doubled the duration.

for the next two days, zhao xu was a level 6 “second circle wizard “.

after zhao xu finished speaking, he took the unknown talisman from antonya’s hands.

“teacher, what’s the effect of this talisman?” Zhao Xu unfurled the brass chain of the talisman and pondered.

“How troublesome. Every time I put a spoon into your mouth, I have to explain to you what you ate today.” antonya complained as she took out a pair of goggles from her backpack and gave it to zhao xu.

“in the future, you can appraise magic items yourself.” antonya said.

zhao xu looked at the goggles that had been thrown at him. it was made up of two parts. one part was a golden frame with lenses, and the other part was connected to an ear clip by a chain.

Zhao Xu immediately put on the goggles and looked at the talisman in front of him through them, but there was no reaction.

“this thing is called the golem protective goggles. 1500 gold coins, i’ll deduct it from your apprentice’s salary.” after antonya did some simple calculations for zhao xu, she immediately found a soft sofa and sat down. it was obvious that she was already feeling a little sleepy.

if you use the ‘detection magic’ spell through these goggles, you’ll be able to obtain the effect of identification.

zhao xu had originally thought that antonya might as well have told him about the effects of the talisman after explaining so much.

But when he heard the second half of Antonya’s sentence, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but stare at the goggles in surprise.

Identify was a level 1 spell that could detect the ability of a magic item, and it required 100 gold coins of pearls as magic materials.

detection magic, on the other hand, was a level-one spell that did not require any magic materials.

with the 1500 gold coins ‘worth of magic items, all of his appraisal skills in the future would be free of charge.

zhao xu would master supernatural spells in the future, so he wouldn’t have to spend 100 gold pieces.

but that was ‘when the time comes’ after all.

zhao xu suddenly had the thought of setting up a stall on the streets of mystra to charge for magical item appraisal. he would charge 100 gold coins per session, which was what other people thought was the cost of the materials.

as for the 25 gold coins for the service fee, it was a free gift from zhao xu.

But even though he was thinking about it, Zhao Xu still obediently cast a detection spell on the talisman in front of him.

For Antonya to carry something with her, it would at least shock him a little.

[ adventurer zhongxia, cast detect magic and obtain the effect of identify through golem goggles. ]

Then, the effects of the magic item appeared, and Zhao Xu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched.

A swift action could be activated and turn back the surrounding time to 1 round (6 seconds) ago?

this is a divine artifact, right?
