The Truth of Magic

Chapter 354

354 Choice for battle

” this gold pin is a ‘shield pin’. wearing it on the chest can absorb 101HP of magic bullet energy. ”

” and this protective magic staff can cast ‘shield’ when held in hand. ”

this ‘secondary spell immunity’ paper doesn’t have any magic power. It’s just to let you understand this spell, because I can cast this spell to make you immune to ‘magic bullet’.

” as for the last divine spell scroll,’shield’, it will allow you to cast this spell on your own. ”

Zhao Xu explained the purpose and meaning of these things in a few words.

At the end of the day, shield was a level 1 spell that could increase defense by an entire four levels. It was already comparable to the ” scaly shirt ” that Zheng xinyun was wearing or Zhao Xu’s ” wizard’s armor.

It also had a powerful use, which was to make the target immune to the magic bullet spell.

The old ghost woman’s four magic bullets were enough to knock down any Level 1 civilian, so they were crucial.

“which method do you plan to use?” Zhao Xu asked.

“Captain, how much does this brooch cost?” clinton picked up one of the pins and placed it in front of his eyes. he looked at it carefully under the light from the window.

“1500 gold coins.” zhao xu estimated the price of this brooch that he had gotten from the wizard association.

If he returned it in its original form, with his identity and status as a glittering Mithril badge, he naturally would not have to pay any price.

Although Ellington’s family had quite a bit of wealth, his fingers still trembled slightly when he heard this. He almost lost his grip.

The shield pin, which could only block magic bullets and had limited uses, actually cost 1500 gold coins, which was more or less beyond their imagination.

“this brooch naturally has its own meaning. The duration of a normal shield spell is 1 minute per level.” Zhao Xu explained.

in the current situation, when the average level 1 wizard cast a shield spell, it could only last for one minute.

zhao xu, who was a level 12 spellcaster, could cast spells for 12 minutes, which was still very short.

However, he could limit the range of this spell to “himself,” and use “spell duration” to directly last for an entire day.

it was also because the shield spell was limited to the fact that wizards could only cast it on themselves, and it wasn’t like the wizard armor that could be cast on teammates, that zhao xu had to provide them with these things.

After listening to Zhao Xu’s question, Clinton thought for a moment and said, ” then I’ll choose to use the scroll.

“why?” Zhao Xu immediately asked.

ellington scratched his head in embarrassment. ” on one hand, the scroll itself is the cheapest. compared to the energy spell required for a magic staff, the cost of a single use is comparable to the cost of the ‘shield pin’. ”

“on the other hand, i think captain also wants to test us. If that’s the case, it would be meaningless for you to cast an immunity spell on us.”

Zhao Xu didn’t comment after hearing this and turned to look at Zheng xinyun.

“Me?”

Although Zheng xinyun had not been exposed to the game for long, she began to understand through her best friend’s introduction that this was probably the legendary ” Test ” from the NPC.

It was even related to whether the players could unlock ” advancement ” and ” talents “, which was the key to obtaining the inheritance.

the players who had no blood relations to rely on could only rely on the recognition of arthur’s npcs to unlock more content.

At this moment, the thoughts in her mind were constantly bursting forth and regrouping.

Zheng xinyun already wanted to play the game ” Arthur ” well, and the tenacity in her nature had begun to sprout.

this made her even more unwilling to waste this opportunity to answer.

Zhao Xu felt a little strange when he saw Zheng xinyun deep in thought.

because no matter what zheng xinyun answered, she would not be rejected by zhao xu.

compared to clinton, zheng xinyun could be considered one of his ” own “. naturally, she would be treated differently.

just as zhao xu was about to give him a hint, zheng xinyun slowly said, ” ” i’ll choose ‘secondary spell immunity’. ”

Then, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Xu. It was as if her eyes were rippling with clear blue waves. to be honest, I’m not sure if I can successfully use this divine spell scroll called shield. Also, in terms of value, shield is a wizard arcane spell. For it to appear in the form of a divine spell scroll, I’m afraid that the price must be quite high.

“at the same time, the duration of the spell is also very important. in addition to the brooch that can be worn all the time, the core of the scroll and the staff is still the shield spell, so it can’t escape the limit of the minute-level duration. “And this piece of paper has an introduction to ‘secondary magic immunity’. It can last for ten minutes per level. Combined with the fact that you, Captain, can last for two hours at level 12, it’s enough to cover the time we’ll be in contact with that old ghost woman.”

zhao xu nodded as he listened to her analysis.

zhao xu had found a quiet room nearby and quickly copied down the divine spell scroll for shield in the afternoon.

After reaching Level 6, coupled with the life energy from the item familiar cloak, he could copy scrolls without feeling any heartache.

he could afford to burn it, and he didn’t have to personally copy it either. he could use the automatic quill pen to do so. recently, zhao xu had been copying down a scroll from time to time to enrich his own reserves and avoid the situation where he ran out of spell slots.

and zhao xu was quite satisfied with zheng xinyun’s answer.

In her previous life, after Zheng xinyun had no hope of becoming a cleric, the ability she had gained in the cleric apprentice stage had lost the support of her profession and slowly faded away.

After the two of them got to know each other and got together, Zheng xinyun paid more attention to running her family’s business. She planned to slowly help Zhao Xu develop a family with a strong foundation.

Basically, she had never expressed any opinions on the battle. but when zhao xu first heard this, he already knew that his opponent’s pre-battle analysis was pretty much on point.

Although Zheng xinyun’s current analysis was very simple, in reality, mages and priests had to make countless such analyses and decisions in a flash.

Compared to the warrior job class, I had an indomitable spirit and a sword that covered the sky.

mages and priests had to consider the details of the battle and make many battle decisions.

yes, when we reach the destination, I’ll cast ‘secondary spell immunity’ on you. Zhao Xu made his next arrangements. at the same time, put on that brooch.

“Ah?”

When he saw the two of them looking at him in surprise, Zhao Xu explained, ” it would be a waste if I didn’t bring them. Life is always more expensive than 1500 gold coins.

As a native of Arthur who only had one life, there was no need to mention Clinton.

Zheng xinyun, who could be resurrected, still hadn’t realized what was going on. If there were other players around and they heard what Zhao Xu said, they would definitely complain and say that they would do anything to keep the 1500 gold coin protective pin.

according to the current poverty line, most players would rather sacrifice the five lifestones in their accounts than waste 1500 gold coins.

Even if one’s account was permanently blocked, they could still obtain the gold coins. This transaction was worth it.

In reality, the duration of the Shield spell was still too short. Otherwise, Zhao Xu would have suggested that the two of them use their staffs to cast shield on themselves. A Tier 4 Shield’s defense increase was a real thing.

for someone like him, who had cast a long-lasting shield spell on himself long before he left the house and added that to the wizard armor just now, his armor had increased by eight levels. he was quite tough now.

unless a player wore magic armor, a top-tier full-body armor would only have tier 7 defense. there were also limitations on the wearer’s equipment and the armor’s flexibility.

and these two spells, under the influence of zhao xu’s power, could last for a very long time. this made zhao xu’s current defense ability one of the best among all the players.

even a normal level 1 player who had just started playing the game wouldn’t have a good chance of winning against zhao xu with a rapier.

This was because any random stab would be blocked by Zhao Xu’s force field Armor and force field shield.

now that zhao xu had the class ability of supreme magical control, he could finally start stacking up his own passive defense ability.

at the very least, things like mage armor and shield could be his waking buffs.

The duration of this static defense was long enough to cover most of his time.

at the same time, the carriage was also moving towards its destination.

zhao xu reached out and pulled open the carriage curtain. the driver in front of him was carefully controlling the horse in front of him and didn’t even bother to ask him questions.

“is there anything unusual?” Zhao Xu asked in a low voice as he sensed the driver’s condition.

“milord, it’s nothing. i just feel that there are fewer people on this road than usual.” The coachman frowned.

“It’s not that bad, right?” Mystra’s surroundings are very safe, ” Clinton said. normally, even powerful monsters wouldn’t dare to get close.

thinking back to the two times he had been attacked by the number one breeding species in arthur, the gnomes, zhao xu just pouted and didn’t say anything.

so be it, those experiences were his bad luck.

“However, Sir mage, there have been rumors of a haunting in frostdew town recently. the church had sent their priests to investigate, but they did not find anything unusual. however, there have indeed been fewer people going there to trade recently. i don’t know if that’s the reason.” The coachman immediately began to chat about what he had seen and heard.

when he heard this, zhao xu subconsciously signaled for his soul catcher to come closer.
