The Truth of Magic

Chapter 314

314 the truth of a hundred years

When Zhao Xu suddenly heard this voice, he still cautiously asked for some private information to confirm that the voice he heard in his head was indeed Antonya’s.

Because according to his understanding, the other party would never be bored enough to observe his actions.

From what Antonya could see, as long as Zhao Xu didn’t use up all five of his revival stones, he would be at his peak condition, so she naturally didn’t have to worry about him.

In the end, under Antonya’s suggestion, Zhao Xu gave her a bag of gold coins that he had gotten from the mission to the death demiplane as the payment for cutting off the information.

Frostsword and the others had also sworn not to reveal the secrets of this area. At the same time, they had also given him the “notebook.”

When it came to things like buying all the stocks in one go, Zhao Xu was very decisive in his starting bid, so that he wouldn’t have to leave any loose ends behind.

In reality, when the people from the Watchmen Guild saw the amount of gold coins that Zhao Xu had given them, they didn’t know how to react for a while. After all, they were on the weaker side, and they didn’t expect this Gale Magus to be so willing to part with it.

In the end, frostsword still nodded at Zhao Xu to express his gratitude. At the same time, he hinted that he could help the gale wizard solve some of the things that he couldn’t handle or even run errands for him.

When everyone saw the bag of gold coins that Zhao Xu had taken out, they basically saw him as a powerful NPC that they could rely on.

Zhao Xu politely left his ” contact information ” to frostsword and the others.

then, the players of the watchmen guild rushed back to mystra overnight. they had no intention of going offline.

After the gale mages were sold out, it was their turn to leave to avoid suspicion. Moreover, it was more risky for them to get close to Xifeng Valley.

After everyone had left, Zhao Xu went back up the stone steps and stood on the high platform next to the mirror Moon Lake.

“Teacher, don’t tell me you’ve been paying attention to me since I came out?” Zhao Xu asked, even though he already knew the answer.

” you’re thinking too much. it was you who entered this area that i cast my gaze over. who would have thought that i would meet an acquaintance? ”

“Enter?” Zhao Xu was a little confused.

” the territory of xifeng valley is my fief. i’ll naturally know if you make any disturbances. ” Antonya said calmly.

fief?

This was an incredibly sacred name that represented the highest social class in Arthur, and it immediately grabbed hold of Zhao Xu’s heart.

Fiefs meant that he had all the legal rights to his territory. However, Arthur’s Way of obtaining fiefs was extremely strict, as he had to go through the God’s barrier.

Zhao Xu didn’t expect Antonya to have this sort of ability either, and he suddenly felt as if the image of her in his mind was shining with a golden light.

If that was the case, then that violent bear was actually Antonya’s pet, but they had still killed it so easily.

Zhao Xu started to understand that if the wizard Tower had really sunk to the bottom of the mirror Moon Lake, there was no way Antonya wouldn’t have known about it.

If he’d known from the start that the mage Tower was within three or four days of Mystra’s journey, he would have been suspicious.

how could the real wizards of mystra from a hundred years ago ignore the fall of a wizard tower right under their eyes?

Antonya’s appearance at this moment finally cleared up his doubts.

“teacher, did you dig out the wizard tower from before?” Zhao Xu asked.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

even the enemies who might be spying on them would be useless.

and with antonya’s intervention, the next step would be for him to merge with the notebook.

” the wizard tower is still at the bottom of the lake. i haven’t dug it out yet. ” antonya said calmly.

At this moment, the slightly tipsy night wind blew across Zhao Xu’s face and made him feel a little cold, but it also made him a little more awake.

“mentor, how deep is your bottom?” Zhao Xu asked.

they had searched for an entire night and spent 60 hours on spells, but they still found nothing.

“That Wizard Tower was controlled by wizard Errol himself to crash into the bottom of the lake before he died. hmph, these ninth-circle sorcerers were mediocre when they advanced to legendary, but they’re really good at scheming against legendary sorcerers.”

“He knows that I look down on his Mage Tower, and he’s afraid that other mages will steal his money. he wanted me to keep it for him for a few hundred years for free, and when his descendants have a talented wizard, he’ll excavate this wizard tower.”

“it’s just doing business with me, how can there be such a cheap thing? The wizard Tower fell from the sky to the ground for thirty kilometers. I’ll double it for him and continue to fall for another thirty kilometers.” antonya said proudly, as if she was very satisfied with what she had done.

After Zhao Xu heard this, he could only complain to himself. This kind of ” revenge ” method was indeed something that people who had not grown up would do.

moreover, the other party was falling from the sky for 30 kilometers. antonya had forcefully pushed aside the stone walls and stuffed herself in, but the difficulty was on a completely different level.

It seemed like there was a price to pay for the traceless time spell that did not increase the age of one’s heart.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Xu felt even more relaxed. He wasn’t worried at all that the news about the wizard Tower would leak out.

Quiet moon Lake was thirty kilometers underground, which meant that the area within ten kilometers of quiet moon Lake was also about thirty kilometers away from the wizard Tower.

in that case, it would be meaningless for frostsword and the others to know where the mage tower was hidden.

the most important part of the laptop was the encryption on the back. so when zhao xu paid that sum of gold coins, he had also ended this relationship.

“eh? you want to dig out that mage tower?”

suddenly, antonya’s figure appeared next to zhao xu and she was standing right next to him.

And Zhao Xu was only able to see Antonya’s invisible form after using his TrueSight spell, but he couldn’t detect Antonya’s presence through his sense of smell or any other senses, which meant that she was using a higher-circle invisibility spell.

after antonya teleported out, she kept looking at the land that she owned.

“teacher, it’s reasonable to say that it’s an ownerless object. it’s not against common sense for me to dig it up, right?” Zhao Xu asked.

“That’s only natural. After those players saved eror’s descendants and obtained their permission, they were born with the rights to the mage Tower. You’ve just bought it off them, so you’ve also obtained the theoretical rights. as long as you can dig out that wizard tower, you’ll naturally be its master.”

“Actually, that Errol intentionally smashed his way in because he wanted to let me, the owner of the territory, have a part of the ownership as time passed. But I don’t mind, so you can dig as much as you want.” antonya laughed happily.

A Wizard Tower was, after all, a very important matter.

that was why zhao xu didn’t want to make any mistakes in the process, and he was also relieved after hearing what antonya said.

If a group of adventurers barged into the tower and plundered the things inside, they would logically have a valid reason. After all, they were ownerless items that had not been taken care of for too long.

however, if the group of adventurers wanted to claim that they owned the wizard tower, there would definitely be some wrangling.

this was also the reason why frostsword had given up on claiming the tower’s body in the first place, as only the mage association could afford to take it.

However, the premise of possessing it was to ” dig ” it out.

Thirty kilometers. If Zhao Xu and the others were to walk in the wilderness for an entire day, that would be the distance they could cover.

The earth’s crust was also about tens of kilometers thick, with granite on the outer layer and basalt on the inner layer. arthur’s surface was probably similar.

this meant that the wizard tower was hidden in a rock that was thirty kilometers deep.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but frown. mentor, that Wizard Tower wasn’t crushed by the tremors of the earth’s crust, right? ”

Most of Earth’s earthquakes would only spread within the crust of the earth. He did not want to dive thirty kilometers underground only to find his Mage Tower that had been crushed and torn apart.

“do you think that’s possible? i think you need to re-recognize the person standing in front of you.” Antonya’s tone was cheerful.

Damn, he was just a legendary-mage.

Zhao Xu thought to himself in a bad mood.

At this moment, Antonya turned her head over to look at Zhao Xu. Her eyes were very bright in the night, as if they were shining like stars.

“When you have a way to go 30km underground, you can go in and search for treasures. when you find a way to dig it out, you’ll have the right to own such a wizard tower.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu’s eyebrows furrowed.

in antonya’s words, she had divided him into two steps: ” find it ” and ” dig it out. ”

The first condition alone was not so easy to achieve.

the current technological drilling depth of humans on earth was only 12 kilometers.

Zhao Xu immediately went through the list of spells he knew. if he wanted to go 30 kilometers underground, he would have to rely on teleportation. at the same time, he would have to cast saul’s stone walk, a level 5 spell, or he would be crushed to death by the rocks.

however, it wasn’t that hard for zhao xu to get his hands on a level 5 teleportation scroll.

he had to prepare the necessary information so that he could be ” extremely familiar ” with the target location. otherwise, he could be teleported to a similar area and even die on the spot.

“teacher, are there any hidden treasures in the mage tower?” Zhao Xu asked. He needed to use this opportunity to determine how strong he was.

If there was nothing inside later, he would be wasting two of his five-ring scrolls if he entered now.

“At the very least, we don’t lack some high-circle spell scrolls.” Antonya replied.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu thought to himself that these words were indeed worth his effort.

” well, since you want to use a fifth-circle teleportation spell to take a shortcut, you’ll have to go back to mystra and do your homework again. you’ll have to investigate the details of the wizard tower. ”

antonya immediately saw through zhao xu’s intentions. ” oh well, you should just stay in mystra until you reach level 6 and advance before you go on an adventure to the wizard tower. ” i’ll also arrange a teaching job for you during this time. you’re qualified to be a level 5 student anyway.”

“advancement?” Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

“Didn’t you already get that notebook?”

antonya’s gaze fell on the lead box in zhao xu’s hands.
