352 The trial
After hearing what Zhao Xu had to say, the cleric apprentices who had come over to join in the fun started to get a little dizzy.
Too strong?
after three months of exposure, everyone knew that their priest and wizard classes were already worthy of being praised in arthur.
and now, the powerful being who defeated the succubus was praising the power of the ‘advance’, which was beyond their imagination.
“Let’s put it this way,” Zhao Xu knew that the girls in front of him didn’t have that kind of direct understanding, so he smiled and said, ” “for a battle-type profession, stacking up advanced professions wouldn’t be a loss in itself. However, for magic professions, because it involves the level of the spellcaster, sometimes you might not be as good as a pure priest or pure mage.”
for example, a priest’s ‘dispel undead’ ability. Its strength is determined by the priest’s profession level. So, if you’re only a level 1 priest, you won’t be able to dispel some powerful ‘ghost’ undead at all.
Zheng xinyun nodded. that means we can only disperse undead creatures like skeletons and zombies? ”
“that’s right.” zhao xu replied.
it seemed that while he was busy advancing, zheng xinyun’s knowledge of the game system had also been constantly improving.
“okay, go confirm the details with the other party.” Zhao Xu instructed Zheng xinyun, ” then, we’ll go together at the agreed time.
Ever since Zhao Xu became a ” superior, ” he started to be able to order people around to do things as he pleased. There were also many small things that he didn’t have to do personally.
when zheng xinyun heard this, she bowed slightly to zhao xu and then left with the other cleric apprentices who had come over.
As they walked further and further away, a gossipy female priest turned to Zheng xinyun and asked, ” “yun ‘er, why did the lecturer ask you out just now?”
only then did zheng xinyun tell him about the content of her conversation with zhao xu.
hearing this, the others pretended to be indignant. ” yunyun, your charm is so great that even this ‘NPC’ instructor has fallen for you. he’s taking you to do a quest to give you some special treatment. ”
“i didn’t.” zheng xinyun quickly denied.
“hehe, why don’t we see the other party carry us? after the succubus attack, when azra saw this midsummer priest’s class, she would pester him to exchange ideas after class, but this midsummer priest didn’t even respond to her. ” the female priest teased zheng xinyun on purpose.
“It shows that our Yun-er’s charm is very good.”
now, everyone knew that the so-called ” NPC ” in arthur didn’t strictly follow the concept of giving out rewards based on the number of missions completed.
it wasn’t rare to find someone pleasing to the eye and give them a reward for free.
however, she did feel that something was strange. when she came into contact with mr. ‘zhongxia’, who guided them to become a cleric apprentice, it reminded her of the mysterious man who had passed her the’ game activation code’.
The temperament of both parties was extremely similar.
The only difference was that this Mr. Zhongxia didn’t like to talk to everyone, and he would always disappear after the class.
strictly speaking, today was probably the day that the two of them had the most interactions since they met.
Thinking of some of the priest’s notes she had read, she even suspected that the abnormality was due to ” faith.
Zhao Xu sat quietly in the corner of the pavilion as he looked at the lively girls who were laughing and playing around. He just smiled to himself.
After reaching Level-6, he also realized that he wouldn’t be staying in Mystra for too long.
therefore, before he left, he had to make good arrangements for his only “priest.”
Even though the energy was very weak, as Zheng xinyun went through the ” cleric ” education, Zhao Xu could feel that her ” faith ” was getting stronger by the day.
it was just that he didn’t dare to expand the extra priest staff at the moment, so he could only arrange the godhead of death as a ” leisure chess piece. ”
if he really wanted to use immortality, he would have to wait until he became a legendary-mage.
next, he had to inform the ” follower ” he had chosen to come over and join in the battle with the old ghost woman.
zhao xu hadn’t reached level 7 yet, so he couldn’t cast the level 4 short message spell. naturally, he couldn’t send out a message across space.
the secondary mind link spell, which could maintain mental communication, required him to be in close contact with the target before it could take effect.
thus, the simple method of sending a ” text message ” on earth was not easy to achieve for arthur.
but zhao xu had mastered many spells, and he had told his chosen follower, clinton, to bring along a talisman filled with sand.
zhao xu crouched down and grabbed a handful of sand. at the same time, he started to imagine the image and identity of the person he was going to communicate with.
Slowly, the sand in Zhao Xu’s hands started to heat up, and then it started to move.
in the classroom of the civilian academy, ellington, who was still attending classes according to the daily schedule, suddenly felt the amulet on his chest shake.
that day, he had followed the mysterious homeroom teacher to the sacred heart cathedral. although he could no longer get close to what happened after that, as the news spread, he could still feel that he was in danger.
ellington also understood what kind of earth-shattering event had happened that day.
Especially the next day, when he returned to class, he heard that his classmates of extraordinary origins were excitedly talking and sharing the secrets of Sacred Heart Cathedral that they had heard. It made him feel a mix of emotions.
many years later, he had once again participated in a ” legend ” described by someone else.
After that, Mr. Zhongxia didn’t say much. From Mr. Reyan’s words, Ellington also knew that Mr. Zhongxia had made a lot of contributions in defeating the succubus priest.
it was even said that wizard reyan, who was close to legendary, had failed to cast a spell on the succubus, while wizard zhongxia had succeeded.
Later, Mr. Zhongxia grabbed a handful of sand from the side of the road, stuffed it into the talisman, and handed it to him. The item looked ordinary, and Clinton had been keeping it close to him all this time.
Today, he finally received a signal from the amulet.
Ellington couldn’t care about anything else on the spot, he immediately picked up the talisman and placed it beside his ear.
The talisman made a ” wind and sand ” sound into his ears, but it started to sound human again. He immediately recognized that it was Mr. Zhongxia’s voice.
“Today, Wanwan, afternoon, Wanwan, you come to Wanwan.”
Ellington immediately rushed out of the classroom. He listened to the instructions from the talisman and quickly replied to it.
at the same time, his heart was beating extremely fast.
he knew that this was his chance.
After the communication ended, he put down the talisman, but his eyes were fixed on it. He couldn’t help but Mutter to himself, ” is this the power of a wizard with connections? ”
He was familiar with the Level 4 ‘short message spell’, but that spell could only send a short message of no more than 25 words.
But now, Mr. Zhongxia had established a communication channel with him from a distance with just a level 3 spell, sand whisper.
The spell’s duration could even be as long as 10 minutes per level.
even though he was from a wizard family and had gone back to search for all kinds of information, he couldn’t find any information about this spell.
it was a secret technique.
the association’s core spells could not be purchased at all!
this guess made ellington’s heart tremble.
he was deeply aware that this homeroom teacher of his had a profound background that was completely beyond his imagination.
————–
the sun rose above their heads at noon.
Zheng xinyun and Ellington followed their agreement and gathered with Zhao Xu outside the city gates.
even though the old ghost hag had used her ” transformation ” ability to transform into an old woman, she still didn’t dare to enter mystra.
it was extremely difficult for these monsters to sneak into mystra without being discovered.
The ” shapeshifting ” ability that seemed to be able to deceive others was not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the ” Magic guard ” who had a high-circle wizard.
Zhao Xu looked at the two of them. They were all fully equipped as he had instructed.
Due to the nature of his job, Clinton was not good at armor. As such, he was still wearing a simple robe that did not have any defensive capabilities.
zheng xinyun, who had been training during this period of time, had only mastered the “medium armor” class ability of “armor proficiency” and had not mastered the final “heavy armor “.
however, it didn’t stop her from wearing a light armor,’chain mail shirt’.
although this armor was the heaviest among the light armors, weighing more than 20 pounds, it also provided the best defense bonus of the “grade 4” armor.
the chain mail shirt was a light armor that cost as much as 100 gold coins. compared to the medium scale armor that also provided tier 4 defense, it was 50 gold coins more expensive. however, it had much less skill and speed restrictions.
wearing it allowed one to travel at full speed, so it was quite popular.
“You’re quite rich.” zhao xu said with a smile.
He wasn’t surprised at all that Ellington was wearing a chain armor shirt. On the contrary, Zheng xinyun, who had only been in the game for more than ten days, could take out such a shirt.
she didn’t have the blessing of wang ningwei or asvich, so it was quite unexpected for zhao xu.
“hehe, krypton ability.” zheng xinyun said, embarrassed.
when zhao xu heard this, he didn’t say much.
forget it. anyway, according to his memory from his previous life, zheng xinyun had quite a lot of pocket money now.
the other party’s spending on the game was also a form of entertainment in itself. in any case, these would all be waste paper soon.
“well, then i have to tell you guys first.” zhao xu started to give the two of them some advice.
at this point, zhao xu wouldn’t be afraid of that monster, the old ghost woman, even if he was all by himself.
in the future, zheng xinyun would naturally follow her friends to do normal quests such as fighting goblins and gnomes.
with zheng xinyun’s ” paywall ” ability from earth, ordinary gnomes really could not trouble her.
So while Zhao Xu had originally wanted to verify his train of thought regarding faith, he had also added another target to let Zheng xinyun see what a higher level monster in Arthur was like.
