Chapter 267

267 The successor (3/3)

after making sure that the players had successfully broken through, zhao xu finished casting his spell and returned to the floating city.

at this moment, artoria finally came out of his body and returned directly to the god’s kingdom. the whole process was done without any delay.

This made Zhao Xu feel a little embarrassed, even though he had been using Altoria for free for several days.

he then followed the procedure and registered at the arcane gate of mystra, applying to use the portal to the floating city.

Half an hour had passed by the time he reached the seventh floor of the floating-Space city’s obelisk.

But Antonya just so happened to be flipping through an extremely thick ancient book in front of her desk.

zhao xu was barely able to make out the title of the book, divine demiplane, from the cage-like image on the cover of the magic book that had been torn apart.

“teacher, did something happen to the ‘half-plane’ in the scavenger beast pit?” Zhao Xu immediately noticed this.

at this moment, antonya raised her head slightly. after glancing at zhao xu for a moment, she lowered her head and continued to read. “you’ve had a new opportunity? Her level up and reaction speed were quite fast. Becoming a level 5 wizard in two months is quite a good progress in the long history of Arthur.”

“But you really did escape.” Antonya also indirectly confirmed Zhao Xu’s words.

“The underground tunnel that was arranged for you at the beginning is one of the most difficult tunnels to enter the demiplane. no matter which key it is, it needs to be accompanied by a strict ritual in order to find the teleportation gate.”

“It’s normal for you to fail. There aren’t many who can pass it smoothly. You can try again next year. Well, but maybe next year’s problems won’t be settled.”

After hearing this, Zhao Xu knew that the situation in the death God’s interdimensional space was very serious. He also remembered that he still had two friends in there.

“ningwei and ashvich didn’t come out?” he couldn’t help but ask.

in reality, zhao xu hadn’t been able to chat much in the group chat these past few days because he had been very busy.

However, he noticed that the two girls had not appeared in the QQ group for a long time.

“That’s right. Something happened to that half-plane, and it was affected by a mysterious creature. Not only were the two female players trapped inside, but their resurrection point was also locked in that half-plane. even if i die, i can only continue with the challenge.” Antonya told him the cruel truth.

“so, for people like you who didn’t find a portal to enter, it’s actually a blessing in disguise. “the association will seal off that place and it won’t be open for a year and a half.” antonya said.

and you’re also Level 5. Let’s play some new tricks later. We’ll use the reverse summoning ritual to enter the space of the ‘final scroll’, and then you can copy those level 3 spells.

zhao xu was naturally happy to receive antonya’s permission.

but his attention was still on the magic book that antonya was reading.

Did this mean that the interdimensional space had become a troublesome existence even for a legendary wizard like Antonya?

“teacher, those emergency rescue personnel are also dead?” Zhao Xu asked.

to know that the other party’s resurrection point had been changed, there was an 80 – 90% chance that he had already died once.

And this half-plane itself deliberately did not have more than three people, leaving a flexible quota for emergency personnel.

with wang ningwei and the others in trouble, the association’s candidates in this area were probably in trouble too.

Just then, Antonya, who was holding one of the pages between her fingers and was about to flip it over, paused for a moment. How did you come to this conclusion? ”

“Ningwei is the one in 10000 who has the specialty of ‘leadership’, and asvich is probably the seedling that the organization is paying attention to. the two of them were able to obtain the specialty ‘iron will’ in the early stages. i’m afraid that their importance in the association’s evaluation system is not low.”

zhao xu knew that the association would evaluate the new wizards based on their importance, health, potential, and other aspects.

in the end, they would filter out a list of people who paid attention to them according to their level. this was also the basis for the association to favor the resources of every novice mage.

he’s still not out even after such a long time. Combined with the keyword ‘death god’, I’m afraid the mobile position left for’ rescue ‘is exhausted.

only after paying a huge price and not getting anything will I let you read the books here in peace, instead of going in to look for her.

zhao xu quietly analyzed the situation.

For a legendary female wizard like Antonya, who had accumulated knowledge for thousands of years, to be able to read and prepare in peace at this moment meant that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

To them, the spells they had were enough to face any difficult situation.

“yes, you’re right.” Antonya stroked her hair. that interdimensional space seems to have a new master. “And now, it’s able to continue to unleash the power of its former laws to the extreme.”

“Nothing more than five?” zhao xu immediately asked.

he already had a bad feeling.

“that’s right, anyone above level 5 who goes in will be punished. This was originally a law that only existed in the core region, but it had now spread to the entire demiplane. the two high-level mages who were in charge of the rescue at the start died inside, and even their souls have not returned.”

“This is also the reason why the association is currently unable to rescue the two female players.” Antonya explained.

” even items above the level of a level five spellcaster are restricted? ”

Zhao Xu immediately noticed this loophole.

Antonya gave Zhao Xu a deep look and nodded. that’s right. You’re doing pretty well now. You even know how to look for a shortcut when facing a problem.”

but zhao xu didn’t feel happy at all about antonya’s praise.

This was a huge problem.

The soul of a dead high-ranked wizard was suppressed, which meant that all backup resurrection methods were ineffective, because after resurrection, they would also be resurrected in the half-plane.

The restriction on magic items above Level-5 meant that both Wang Ningwei and asvich were under the same restriction.

All of the magic items that Zhao Xu had on him right now were all at least level 10.

in other words, if he entered, the effects of the star cloak and teleportation boots would be suppressed.

Otherwise, the Sorcerer’s Association could have armed a Level-5 sorcerer to the point that he was even more terrifying than a ninth-circle sorcerer.

even he knew and was able to achieve the ‘coherence’ method to obtain a ninth-circle spell on the spot.

the ability of the association in this aspect would only be more abundant. it all depended on whether they were willing to pay the price.

“master, we can try.” lacus suddenly said, “that half-plane is probably controlled by the artificial death that i let go. master, if you enter and get trapped by accident. i’ll put down my pride and negotiate with it. it’ll give us an opening and let us go.” Said Lux.

“now that the rules are becoming more active, it means that the shard of divinity of the death god is becoming more prominent. so, we might be able to get some more.” said lux.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask Lux,”the best strategy would have been to sneak in after the artificial death had sneaked in.” However, now that the entire Association was paying attention to it, didn’t it mean that the other party didn’t have the means to take the fragment away without alerting the enemy? are you sure the two of us will be able to take the fragment?”

Zhao Xu wasn’t just moving around for the sake of profit anymore. basically, he would have a ruler in his heart to measure whether the gains and losses, risks, and gains were equal.

“Hehe, master, you can’t hide it, but I can. Although the divine fragment of the Grim Reaper is very dangerous, we can use it to play tricks and secretly develop a new sect. don’t you think that the weaker version of the death god’s divine art is fake? is it fun to have a bunch of saintesses who can warm your bed at the same time?” Lacus tried to bewitch Zhao Xu.

“think about your miracle technique.” lacus continued to raise the price for zhao xu.

“satisfying? I’m almost dead.”

Zhao Xu said as he looked over at Antonya. mentor, if the Association needs a level 5 wizard to go in and search for the two of them, then I can go out and fight.

“hmph, hypocrite, my hypocritical master.” lacus immediately started to complain about zhao xu’s behavior of taking the initiative to sign up while talking about the risks.

At this moment, Antonya was looking at Zhao Xu in admiration.

to her, it was really rare for zhao xu to have the courage to suggest something like this even though he knew that he might lose all five lifestones.

for thousands of years, the association had too many ” smart people ” who claimed to be willing to risk their lives for the association but were the first to run away when they really needed to put their lives on the line.

He didn’t know that all actions before becoming a legend were considerations.

very good. If you can cast a level 3 spell before tomorrow morning, I’ll allow you to enter.

But even as she spoke, Antonya still looked worried and added, ” if you’re really trapped inside, just stay here quietly. Don’t risk using up all five Lifestones.

zhao xu could tell that something was off. ” mentor, the thing is, if the other party wants to kill me, then it’s not within the scope of my will. ”

“Don’t worry, it will only kill you once at most. It corresponds to the price you pay for barging in. this is also the rule of “no more than five things.””

but I can’t say for sure. If you give up and let him kill you, then you can just tell him that you’re my only disciple.

he’s one of the successors of the ‘final scroll’.
