The Truth of Magic

Chapter 205

205 covering up the truth

But even though he said that, Zhao Xu still walked over to the pile of dregs that the pit fiend had almost completely corroded.

The residue seemed to be in a self-corroding process. But with the acceleration from Zhao Xu’s Hammer of Justice, it still couldn’t disappear in an instant.

“lacus, is it useful for me to continue casting the ‘kindness’ spell on this residue?” he asked. Zhao Xu asked.

“Master, if that’s the case, I’ll just wait for you to kill me before I erase the traces.” said lux.

zhao xu thought about it for a while and decided to clean up this piece of trash on his own.

“invisible servant.”

Zhao Xu immediately cast this spell and summoned an invisible and shapeless power.

then he took out a sack and a shovel from his backpack and handed it over. he ordered the invisible servant to shovel up the remains of the dead demons and store them.

it wasn’t that zhao xu was lazy, but this sort of scum had a mysterious desecration power to begin with, and he didn’t want to come into contact with them.

“Master, are you going to put this sack with the demon scum in your backpack?” Lacus reminded him, “but that sack might not be able to contain the dregs.

“there’s a possibility of it seeping in. if that’s the case, master, everything in your bag will be contaminated.”

Zhao Xu just smiled. Lux, Wizards do have some skills.

He had learned a few hundred spells, and his flexibility in dealing with situations had also been greatly improved.

after a while, the servant followed zhao xu’s instructions and packed up all the residue before walking over to hand it to him.

zhao xu took a quick glance at the corner where the pit fiend had just died, and there really wasn’t anything left behind.

He immediately took out the magic materials he had just found-a Golden Needle and a piece of good cloth.

Then he began to chant an incantation to release a 2nd-circle spell, “magic pet bag.

suddenly, a golden light appeared on zhao xu’s hand, and he immediately stuck the ball of energy that he needed to touch onto his robe.

The piece of cloth that Zhao Xu had just taken out stuck tightly to his robe and turned into a material pocket.

It looked like a pocket that was specially sewn to a robe to store magic materials.

but if it was that simple, then zhao xu wouldn’t have to cast a level 2 spell on purpose.

‘magic pet bag’ was a spell that allowed mages to temporarily store their magic pets into the bag.

this meant that his temporary pocket that seemed flat and close to his robe had become a different dimensional space. the capacity inside was about the size of a bucket of water, just enough to accommodate a magical pet.

After Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, he immediately stuffed the sack that contained the trash into his magic pet bag.

“This works too?” Lacus did not react for a moment.

she naturally recognized this spell.

but wasn’t this spell specifically used to carry magic pets?

“this spell is specially made for ‘magic pets’. for example, there’s air inside to let the magic pet survive, and it can also let the magic pet use supernatural abilities. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t store things, otherwise, if the magical pet is wearing clothes, it will have to take off its clothes before entering.”

Zhao Xu explained.

The pockets of his robe were still flat, which was the effect of this spell.

“thump.”

suddenly, a dull sound came from the front.

“Thump.”

The second sound was extremely hoarse, as if a huge hammer had hit the stone door.

was this the power of a ninth-circle sorcerer?

If he could tear it down, he definitely wouldn’t have walked in properly?

zhao xu could feel the entire altar hall shaking. ” lux, is it okay for them to tear it down like this? ”

“i don’t think so? At most, I’ll just use magic to restore it. ” Lacus concluded as she watched the show.

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look at his 2nd circle arcane spells and 2nd circle divine spells.

He suddenly felt extremely shabby.

as expected, the strength of a two-ring soul master was still too weak. he would only be able to survive with five or six soul rings.

just as zhao xu was wondering what method reyan was going to use to break down the door, the stone door that had teleported him in suddenly disappeared.

Unlike the demolition of buildings by brute force, the stone door seemed to have been swallowed and digested, and not even the gravel could be seen.

“Dissociation.” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but recommend this spell to Lux in his heart. It didn’t need to be recycled and could be decomposed in an environmentally friendly manner.

“Uh, master, I know about this. the location and time chosen by the other party is rather ingenious. the power of this altar just so happens to not be interrupted.”

“Otherwise, the outside world of this altar is usually connected by power. or when an unpermitted living being is transported in, the self-destruct sequence will be triggered.”

when zhao xu heard this analysis, he nodded his head.

He knew more about the content on the surface. If he really wanted to reach the stage of seeing through the inner tricks, he would need to cultivate for a long time.

If he had been the one to break down the door this time, he might have thought that the altar’s power had already dissipated when he entered.

reyan also walked out from behind the stone door.

The moment he saw Zhao Xu, he relaxed a little.

even though zhao xu and the other players had revival stones, it wouldn’t be a big deal if something happened.

However, Reyan dared to let a group of low-level novice mages search for the entrance of the altar. Naturally, he was confident of his identity as a ninth-circle mage. He felt that he could rescue them no matter what happened.

if he had just come in and found that zhao xu had already died, antonya would definitely have mocked him for a year and a half when he got back.

Thanks to the goddess’s blessing,

“What about the pit fiends?”

Reyan didn’t hesitate at all as he walked into the altar. The truth-finder spell he cast on Zhao Xu had already told him that Zhao Xu wasn’t transformed by the devil.

behind him were a few mages in mystra’s magic guard uniform. they scanned the entire altar hall with alert expressions.

the two priests that zhao xu had met that night were following behind them. they had looks of disgust on their faces as they looked at the various statues of nairo and the altar that were filled with blasphemy.

“i don’t know. when i came in, there was nothing left.” zhao xu said.

“I didn’t know you were so bold. Just because you have a Lifestone, you’re here to see the demons?” Reyan said.

“don’t think that the lifestone you players use is 100% effective.” Reyan saw that Zhao Xu’s expression was very calm, and he didn’t seem to be afraid at all.

He thought about it and decided to let Zhao Xu know. after you players die, the condition for you to be able to use the Lifestone is that your soul has to float back to the ‘Temple of Life’ at the highest point in the sky.

“If there’s a powerful creature, like me, who can interfere, then all you can do is cry at the resurrection Stone.”

“An 8-circle Soul Control spell?” Zhao Xu immediately reacted.

this spell could imprison the target’s body and vitality, and store them in the gem forever. only when the gem was broken would the target’s body reform.

“that spell is even more overbearing. it directly restricted your body, so you can’t even be considered dead in name, let alone resurrect.” Reyan explained, not explaining much about his methods.

“You also know what the enemies you’re facing are good at.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu also nodded his head obediently.

it was probably at the end of the month that a big event would appear on the forum. a group of adventurers had put down a token that a mage had asked them to retrieve from a certain place.

if it was that simple, it would be fine. high-circle mages would naturally have a way to find it. however, that group of players took the token and exchanged it for a sum of gold coins before running away.

at that time, the players thought that they had found a bug in the system, which allowed them to take away the quest items without fulfilling the quest. they even proudly posted a post on the forum.

In fact, they had already made up their minds. If the mage came to find them, they would just hand over the Lifestone. Anyway, they had already hidden their equipment and everything.

After that, it was naturally their group that was chased down by the high level mage one by one, and they were all captured and imprisoned.

Imprisonment did not mean death, so naturally, they could not leave the Temple of Life creation. This meant that the players could only delete their accounts and re-register their characters.

This was also Arthur’s most overbearing way of killing. He would kill five people at once and force them to delete their accounts.

that was why zhao xu had left behind the second comment on the ten commandments for beginners, ” respect the gods, ” and the third comment, ” don’t mess with high-level wizards. ”

as for the demons and devils, the souls were the most delicious food for them, with humans being the best.

in fact, the hardest currency they used was a gem that imprisoned souls.

dying at the hands of the abominations also meant that there was a certain possibility that a lord-tier abomination would intervene and kill all five of them.

or rather, when he woke up and found himself reincarnated as a lemur from hell, he really wanted to die.

the only solution was to find a ninth-circle spellcaster and use wish and miracle to save the situation.

reyan watched as his men searched the entire altar, and almost ten priests came to perform the purification ritual.

basically, everyone just walked in and out quietly. they didn’t even glance at zhao xu.

In the end, after the entire altar made of green pyroxene stone had been moved away by the spell, Reyan nudged Zhao Xu’s arm and said in a low voice, ” master zhongxia, we’ve connected.

It was at this moment that Zhao Xu realized something. He had been watching the altar the entire time and was worried that someone would find out about it, so he didn’t notice Reyan’s request for a mind-link.

Zhao Xu immediately took control of his mental connection. that’s weird. I should have acquiesced to your mental connection.

otherwise, reyan had directly communicated with him telepathically in the prophecy forest.

this was also why reyan had only appeared with his voice after the two women had died and not directly connected to him through the soul link, which had raised zhao xu’s suspicions.

“you used the level 8 spell ‘mind barrier’, so you must have blocked my mind-affecting spell again.”

zhao xu then realized that this was where the problem lay.

at the time, he had used the book of ten thousand spells to cast this spell on himself to resist the pit fiend’s group monster hold spell.

moreover, the duration of the skill was one hour per level, so it was basically a wake-up buff for every eighth-circle wizard who went on an adventure.

Hey, hey, you don’t have to explain. I know. It’s the goddess’s favor. Hey, why don’t I have such luck? ” Reyan continued to talk.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.

he deliberately didn’t cancel the level 8 spell, and was thinking of how to hint to reyan that he still had level 7 “energy immunity” and level 8 “advanced spell immunity.”

As long as he led Reyan to think that the goddess was involved, then no matter what happened here, Reyan would not say a word.

He did not even dare to verify it with the goddess of magic.

The fact that Zhao Xu had obtained a divine artifact among divine artifacts would be kept a secret.

” no one here can use that ‘high-level spell immunity’ of yours. it’s too eye-catching. you have to restrain it next time. ” reyan hinted.

a high-level priest who could cast the eighth circle would not need to run errands in rose cross. even the church was not that extravagant.

a person of this level was enough to be a ” red-robed cardinal ” in charge of the parish.

“then, master zhongxia, how should i write the report?” reyan kept his voice low even though they were connected telepathically.

“how about suicide?”

that’s a little too much. Give me a more reasonable reason. reyan couldn’t guess his superior’s intentions, so he had to continue to lower his head and ask for advice.

“then fill it out yourself.” zhao xu said. he really didn’t have any experience in this area.

When Reyan heard Zhao Xu’s reply, he was relieved. This was exactly what he wanted to hear.

sigh, in this day and age, he had to be careful even when he was cleaning up other people’s messes. it was really hard on him.
