The Truth of Magic

Chapter 357

357 Chapter 356-presumptuous request

Zhao Xu didn’t say anything after he heard what the leader of the riders, Rupert, said.

He continued to stare at the cavalrymen in front of him and did not say anything. He just stroked the sphere at the top of the Supreme magic scepter in his hand, as if he was calculating something.

as for the few lucky ones among the cavalrymen who were immune to spells, they did not dare to step forward rashly when they saw the situation.

They had heard many terrifying legends about mages.

For example, he could turn a thief he didn’t like into a ” rat ” permanently and throw them into the sewers, never to see the light of day again.

There were even some who were directly struck by the lightning summoned by the mages. Their bodies were charred black and they died in a terrifying manner.

Zheng xinyun and Ellington followed him down the carriage and looked at the people who were trapped.

another cavalry unit further away also managed to crawl out of the stinky clouds.

They vomited and looked over in fear, but the aftereffects of the spell still caused their stomachs to spasm, and they had no extra strength to do anything else.

even madam betty’s guards, who had come to help, felt a lingering fear when they saw the tragic state of these people. even though they were also wearing hard armor, they could not help but touch their stomachs as if they were experiencing the same thing.

madam betty saw that the situation on the battlefield had been instantly reversed by zhao xu’s two spells.

as someone who operated magic scrolls in the redbud chamber of commerce, how could she not understand the power of the man before her, who wore a simple, black cloak and a white robe?

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he could turn the clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.

This was because it was difficult for an ordinary 3rd Circle mage to resist spells to such an exaggerated extent. It directly caused 80 to 90% of the cavalrymen to fall.

This meant that this seemingly ordinary spell caster’s spell immunity was beyond the average level.

Or, the other party’s ‘intelligence’ was extraordinary, which could make the spell more complicated.

It was either that the other party had used a higher circle spell slot or that they had enough specialties to support the difficulty.

this led to an even more terrifying speculation-this spellcaster was not just a third-circle spell caster.

Third-circle mages and third-circle priests weren’t rare at all in the country of magic, the place where the goddess of magic had been born.

However, for ordinary Chambers of Commerce like them, it was already close to the ceiling that they could reach.

there were even many chambers of commerce that were willing to be enslaved by mage families, more or less wanting to cultivate one or two outstanding mages among their descendants who could be the face of the business.

As for the priests, they were the servants of God, and they were not people they dared to imagine or interfere with.

“mother, what’s wrong?” Wilberst, who was only six or seven years old, looked at his mother, Madam Betty, and shook her finger.

“No, child. You have to close your eyes from now on.” Madam Betty just smiled gently at her youngest son and covered his eyes with her hand.

at this moment, she gently pulled up the expensive fur coat she was wearing and walked over to zhao xu with her youngest son. she gave him a standard bow.

Zhao Xu immediately realized that this was the bow that the believers of the goddess would do when they met the priest of the goddess, so he immediately pulled Zheng xinyun over to nod in acknowledgment.

on the other hand, zheng xinyun, who had only come into contact with this kind of content on the first day of logging into the game, was meticulous at this time. she even returned a more standard greeting.

Most of the residents of Mystra worshiped and believed in sisylvana, the goddess of magic. It was not strange that Madam Betty happened to be one of them.

At this time, in the sky above the dark forest of frostdew town, fine snow began to fall and slowly fell on everyone’s outer robes.

it also covered this small forest with light snow and dyed it a frosty white.

Zheng xinyun’s neck touched the snowflakes that were drifting down. The cold touch made her shiver uncontrollably. She curled up her body in her robe and exhaled a ball of hot air.

goddess’s Shepherd in the mortal world, how are you? thank you for your help to us, the widow and the orphan. Madam Betty bowed to Zhao Xu again to express her gratitude.

Her voice was light and pleasant to the ear, without the slightest trace of age. It was impossible to imagine that she was already the mother of a seven-year-old child just by listening to her voice.

But this time, Zhao Xu was representing the goddess’s cleric, so he accepted it without any hesitation.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he had saved Mrs. Betty and her son just now.

zhao xu, who didn’t really want anything in his heart, was worthy of this bow.

at this moment, mrs. betty slowly stood up, but her expression changed a few times when she looked up.

This was because she noticed that the priest robe that Zhao Xu was wearing didn’t seem to have any symbols or marks on it, and it looked no different from the female cleric apprentice next to him.

but she had been involved in her family’s cloth-dyeing business before, so from a close observation, her sharp eyes could immediately tell that the robe zhao xu was wearing was a ” robe ” that only high-ranking members of the church of the goddess would wear, and it could be considered casual.

If there were no large-scale religious gatherings, even if the Pope wore this kind of robe, it would not be out of place.

however, madam betty’s expression changed. after she confirmed the man’s identity, she immediately thought of the ‘cobweb’ and ‘stinking cloud’ that the man had just used.

They were essentially arcane spells, and could not be performed by an ordinary priest who used divine spells.

Madam Betty had been in Mystra for more than ten years, so she naturally wouldn’t make a fuss about it. She questioned why the other party was wearing the priest’s robe even though he was a mage.

As a believer of the goddess, she more or less knew the power of the goddess ‘priest.

Some of the goddess ‘priests were able to cast limited arcane spells, but they were all favored by the goddess.

Therefore, even Madam Betty, who had been training for more than ten years and had accumulated a deep shrewdness, could not help but be excited at this time.

She realized that the most difficult hurdle to cross when she got to know a Big Shot had been crossed just like that.

At this moment, the surrounding cavalrymen also started crawling out of their hiding spots, seeing that Zhao Xu didn’t immediately kill them.

However, even though they were wearing the shiny and mighty armor of light, and even though they were noble cavalry that even civilians had to bow when they met them, they still did not dare to move.

compared to the players, the natives of arthur knew better how to beg for mercy from a wizard.

Especially when this mysterious spellcaster used two spells to prove the gap between them.

The reputation that the Wizards of Mystra had built up over the years also made Zhao Xu look completely mysterious in everyone’s eyes.

Even when the cavalrymen regained their freedom, they did not dare to attack or escape rashly.

“my lord,” The leader of the cavalry, Rupert, interrupted him as he watched the mysterious mage walk into the room while he was chasing Madam Betty.

His expression changed and he shouted, ” my Lord, when you first revealed your identity as a mage, we definitely did not dare to offend you.

in fact, rupert also wanted to cry out for her innocence. There were teleportation portals that led to the surrounding towns in Mystra. High-level mages could either go there directly through the portal, or they could cast spells on their own without any channels.

Who would waste a few hours on the road? even the carriage he was in was an ordinary carriage rented from a courier station. It didn’t have any special symbols of the Mistral noble families or associations.

that was why he mistakenly thought that the other party was just a foreigner without any connections.

it was fine that this spell caster did not wear the unique robe that mages wore to indicate their identity. It was mainly because the mages of Mystra were prideful. After Rupert had questioned them, they had immediately mocked and even scolded him.

how could they drag it out until he launched the charge? the other party looked like an earth player who was not used to the noble status of mages.

“my lord, i hope that you can let us off for mr. quirrell’s sake?”

zhao xu naturally didn’t know who mr. quirrell was.

if he was busy getting to know these random people every day, he wouldn’t even need to level up.

zhao xu had basically looked through all of the important figures of mystra and their surnames.

If he didn’t have any impression of them, then he could afford to offend them.

“mr. quirrell is a butler of the mistra hundred archmages family, finn.” At this moment, Ellington leaned over and reminded Zhao Xu.

Finn?

Zhao Xu immediately threw this name to the back of his mind.

“how do you plan to deal with this group of people who want to kill you?” Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Madam Betty, as if he didn’t care at all about the leader of the riders, Rupert, fighting back.

however, madam betty, who had been covering her youngest son’s eyes with her hands so that he would not see any blood, could not help but tighten her blushing cheeks when she heard the name ” quirrell. ”

zhao xu noticed this and couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. as expected, compared to the players ‘straightforward experience in fighting monsters, there were way too many twists and turns in the middle and upper levels of mystra.

It seemed that the eldest son of Abel, Harry, who currently controlled the Redbud Chamber of Commerce, was quite a good man. He had actually sided with a more important person, and Madam Betty was immediately wary of him.

” respected priest of the goddess, may i make a presumptuous request of you? ” Madam Betty took a deep breath and said to Zhao Xu, ”
