316 earth’s passage
zhao xu laughed when he heard what qi lin said, but he was in a very good mood.
from the moment he entered the game, most of the people in the floating city that he had come into contact with were very polite to him. sometimes, they would even give him resources directly and cooperate with him if possible.
for example, when he met the goddess priest, archbishop soz, at sacred heart cathedral, he gave him the holy emblem that he had been wearing for decades. zhao xu even used that holy emblem to avoid the trouble of explaining his identity.
he had even entrusted archbishop soz to place the mithril crystals directly into the mines of starfall town to increase the production of mithril from the silver mine.
And this Lynch in front of him had indeed been very polite to him before. Now that he was showing off his smart side, Zhao Xu felt a sense of familiarity again, just like how he had felt when he had interacted with the residents of Arthur in his previous life.
“Wizard Lynch, what kind of remuneration do you want?” As long as the other party’s request wasn’t too much, Zhao Xu would naturally agree to it.
he was now a level-5 wizard of the same level, and both sides had enough resources to complement each other.
when the fat wizard, lynch, saw that zhao xu didn’t object, he also said happily, ” well, Mr. Zhongxia, can you show me the badge on your chest? ”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he thought that she would have a request in this area, but he didn’t say much. He just took it off and handed it over.
Any wizard that appeared in the floating city would be able to run but not be able to run. Zhao Xu didn’t have to worry about something funny like snatching the badge and running away.
After Lynch picked up the phone, he noticed that Zhao Xu’s wizard badge had now turned into three concentric circles, which meant that he had officially become a 3rd Circle wizard.
in order to accept the quest that frostsword had given him, zhao xu went to the association’s administrative hall and updated his personal information to the latest status.
at that time, he also received the corresponding mage benefits.
The wizard Association had become the largest wizard organization in Arthur’s continent. In addition to being the organization with the largest number of legendary Wizards in Arthur, it also had a benefit that attracted countless ordinary Wizards.
When all mages leveled up, they could apply to the Association to copy two spells with the highest number of circles that they could cast at the moment.
so, zhao xu received all the level 2 to level 5 promotion benefits in one go, which included two level 1 spells for level 2, four level 2 spells for level 3 and level 4, and two level 3 spell copying for level 5.
According to the Association’s current price for copying spells, each circle was 50 gold coins, so copying a level 3 spell would cost 150 gold coins.
zhao xu received eight spell copying coupons that were worth 800 gold coins for spell copying and borrowing fees, from level 1 to level 3.
Moreover, he had mastered all the level 1 to level 3 spells, so he could totally sell the coupon. After all, the Association recognized the coupon.
in fact, if wizard lynch just asked for spell copies or money later, zhao xu could just use those spell copy coupons as payment.
But when Lin Qi, who was sitting across from him, saw Zhao Xu’s badge, his entire body suddenly trembled. Three concentric circles appeared like a mysterious spell that immediately stunned him.
At the same time, the concentric circles began to fluctuate after he touched them, showing their authenticity.
qi lin’s back immediately broke out in cold sweat. after the transformation speech, he already knew that the other party was an adventurer from earth.
it was just that this mage zhongxia was only a 1st-circle mage back then. in just a month, he had become a 3rd-circle mage?
even if the players were fast players, this method was a little too fast.
According to what he had heard from his family’s elders, even if these Earth’s adventurers had enough talent, it would still take a year for them to reach three rings.
now, someone was showing him that he had become a third-circle mage after a month?
if he were to spread the news, all the low-circle mages in the floating city would be in an uproar.
the mages of the floating city were well aware of the reason why the players on earth could achieve rapid success, as well as the hidden dangers behind such a method.
the players had skipped years or even decades of accumulation, and unless they had outstanding talent, they would have to pay a huge price in the future to pay for the jump.
The most obvious point was that it would be much more difficult to break through in the future, especially when it involved five or six rings.
However, the man in front of her had already achieved three soul rings in two months. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to achieve five or six soul rings in a year, right?
qi lin immediately thought of countless important conjectures.
in the wizard association, there were also geniuses in arthur who completed their training in a few days or a month.
These candidates would be given special attention and would become the key training targets for future legendary-mages.
At this moment, Lynch was also secretly amazed. No wonder the Association would give a glittering Mithril badge to a player.
It turned out that the higher-ups of the Association had already seen through the talent of the man in front of him a month ago.
no wonder they were the big shots and he was the underling.
After Lin Qi thought it through, he handed the badge back to Zhao Xu respectfully and said politely, ” “this will do.”
“mage zhongxia, our association has not held any meetings for the past two days. How about this, are you free the day after tomorrow? if you are, you can come with me to the Association to retrieve the information. If it’s really inconvenient, I can also transfer it to your dormitory.”
as qi lin spoke, he looked at zhao xu.
“This one? remuneration?” zhao xu was just wondering why the other party had skipped over him to ask about his pay.
oh, oh. You just gave me a careful look at the magical aspects of this badge. That’s already the greatest reward. As Lynch spoke, he did a standard mage salute.
zhao xu didn’t understand why wizard lynch’s attitude had changed so much, but he could only respond with silence.
Logically speaking, the other party should have known that he had a glittering Mithril badge from the start.
his attitude had only calmed down a lot when he found out that he was a player and not from mystra’s wizard family, but why had he suddenly become so respectful?
Zhao Xu considered the fact that he was currently living in the obelisk, and it wouldn’t be easy for the other party to get in, so he said, ” “Wizard Lynch, I’ll come find you the day after tomorrow.”
Lynch nodded in satisfaction and handed over the note with his contact information and address.
After Zhao Xu took it, he suddenly heard Antonya’s voice again.
“zhongxia, there’s a spell research that you’d like to see.”
——————
after a while, zhao xu found himself in a mysterious research hall.
this place was located right below the palace of truth, which was the core building of the floating city. zhao xu had once unlocked the molin stone stele here and obtained the corresponding advanced secret technique.
The hall of truth above them was said to be the place with the highest density of Wizards in Arthur.
the highest authority of the wizard association, the council, was also permanently located in the hall of truth.
According to what everyone said, it was only in that place that they would be able to see the seven big shots of the Sorcerer’s Association appear together.
when zhao xu first saw this research hall, he almost thought that it was a soccer field with no stands.
however, they were all in the corridor on the second floor, and there was only a row of simple drop resistance railings in front of them. it was very simple, or it could be said that the design did not consider the need for bystanders.
And below the field, only a quarter of the area was filled with mysterious alchemy devices, many of which were tightly wrapped, and most of the field was filled with mysterious metal balls.
above the research hall were alchemy lifting devices, which could be used at any time, even though mages could solve it with their own spells.
at this moment, there were dozens of spellcasters working on the test. zhao xu was secretly shocked as he watched, because all of the researchers below were at least seventh-circle magicians.
some of the assistant’s work was done by the golems and invisible servants in the field.
zhao xu could feel how heavy and serious the atmosphere was, so he stood quietly by antonya’s side. at this moment, there were also a number of spell casters standing in the corridor on the second floor, equal to the number of researchers below.
but they were all wearing the same robes and hoods as zhao xu, so they could hide their appearances.
zhao xu was starting to suspect that there was a big shot in the association among those mysterious people.
However, he paid more attention to the eight metal boards made of Mithril that were erected at the front of the field. The eight panels were intricately carved with complicated ritual arrays, and many of them were even high-precision micro-carvings.
it was obvious that the ritual involved was extremely complicated and profound.
“Teacher, the spell research below seems to be of a very high level.” zhao xu used the telepathic link to communicate with antonya.
Even the lowest level of researchers were at the seventh circle, and the other auxiliary staff would rather use golems than middle and low level mages. even when antonya had given him the key, he had to go through three or four rounds of inspections before he could enter this place.
of course. They’ll be building a temporary passageway to another multiverse later. antonya said.
So it was like this.
It was actually such a big move.
That was all Zhao Xu could do at that moment.
to be honest, in arthur, the wizard association was probably the only one who had the capital to undertake this research work.
zhao xu now understood that this research was basically for the sake of everyone transmigrating in a year’s time.
He looked at the micro-engraved ritual matrix and had some guesses. but after hearing antonya’s explanation, he had new questions.
” but from what i see, this ritual is more like re-summoning the channel rather than directly creating it, right? ”
Antonya raised an eyebrow. that’s right, because an energy channel has always existed. We’re just using this energy channel to materialize a physical channel.
after zhao xu heard this, countless thoughts instantly ran through his mind, and he was even more certain of his own guess.
The fact that they could project themselves here meant that there was an energy channel between Arthur and earth.
Even the 20-minute cooldown after logging off was probably due to the restriction of this energy channel.
Since there was an energy channel, the Sorcerer’s Association could also be used.
then, one of the researchers in charge of the project below made an inquiring gesture to a mysterious person in the corridor on the second floor.
“it’s about time to start charging and testing the activation.” Antonya reminded him.
zhao xu’s eyes immediately widened as well and he carefully observed the condition of the eight mithril panels. all the energy channels would definitely be activated through this ritual circle later.
All of a sudden, countless stars began to gather and fell on the first version of the Mithril panel. Energy began to fill the hollow spaces of the entire array like a trickle.
in the end, the mithril panels lit up one by one until the seventh panel.
but zhao xu suddenly felt his entire body shake, and then his vision started to blur.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have disconnected from the world of Arthur. Cooldown time for re-logging in: To be determined. ]
