The Truth of Magic

Chapter 368

368 Dominate the human race

When he saw the young man ask him a question in return, Zhao Xu turned around and looked around. He realized that there was indeed no one else within a five-meter radius of him.

That question was directed at him.

he couldn’t help but think to himself, did i have such a mocking face?

the cavalrymen from two days ago were like this, charging at him without any explanation. When they entered the burned-down old house, the old ghost woman raised her hand to attack without a word.

is there no place in this world where we can be reasonable?

Zhao Xu had chosen a quiet and secluded corner at first. It was also the kind of place that was close to the back door of the bar and the window so that it would be easier for him to escape.

Under the dim light, he looked like a faint shadow, and he could not be seen clearly.

However, his words instantly heated up the tavern, which had cooled down a long time ago as if it had been blown by the cold wind outside.

everyone was looking forward to someone standing up and criticizing the young man’s unreasonable behavior.

in fact, many people even missed mystra’s players, who were everywhere. as players who were not afraid of anything, they were also the ones who dared to challenge the rich and powerful. of course, they would not end up well.

Unlike the players who came to frostdew town now, all of them had a mission on hand, and when they encountered a storm, they would retreat like turtles and be even faster than the residents of frostdew town.

“I’m just sitting there with my butt sticking out a little.” Zhao Xu said calmly.

At this moment, all the gazes in the tavern were focused on him, but he did not feel anything at all.

as soon as he said this, the young man in luxurious clothes immediately retracted his gaze. tormenting a poor boy was not a skill.

As soon as Zhao Xu sat down, he felt the few adventurers who had been approaching him with their wine glasses in their hands move their bodies to the other side. It was as if they couldn’t even drink when they were facing him.

the admiration in his eyes was now replaced by a look of disdain.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the young man in luxurious clothes still had some power, some people would probably mock him for not daring to stand out and acting like a big-tailed Wolf.

but no one knew that zhao xu was already thinking about how he was going to cast his spells.

It wasn’t that he wanted to do it himself, but ever since Zhao Xu’s intelligence had been raised to the max, his mind would unconsciously start to plan out all the possible scenarios that might happen next.

the entire tavern was packed with people, and behind the noble youth was a seemingly powerful mage, as well as four guards who were also of level 2 or 3 in their professions.

From their point of view, Zhao Xu couldn’t cast any powerful AoE spells at the first moment.

Although the people in the tavern didn’t dare to make a sound when they saw the young man in luxurious clothes ‘domineering behavior.

however, once someone made a move, the crowd would immediately surge with emotions and the situation would be like a thunderbolt.

Therefore, it was not wise for him to cast a stinky cloud spell that covered the entire Tavern.

Just like those guards, Zhao Xu was thinking that his Level 3 expansion spell, Melf’s unicorn’s arrow, would probably be quite effective.

This spell was shot out like a laser. Zhao Xu was currently a level 12 spellcaster, so compared to a level 5 spell that could only shoot out one laser, he could already shoot out three laser beams.

At the same time, the spell itself ignored immunity and spell resistance. As long as it hit, it would cause damage, and it also had a collision effect.

Once the three guards lost their balance, the surrounding Tavern travelers, who shared the same hatred for the enemy, would probably gang up on them. The sword disease squad would be directly dragged into the water, and they could only fight back.

from the fact that the other party immediately tore up the mission contract and gave up the commission, it could be seen that he was definitely the kind of person who could make decisions in battle.

as for that wizard, it was a pity that zhao xu couldn’t cast the fifth circle spell that could reduce intelligence to 1 point and use it on blind wizards.

therefore, he was also analyzing the weakness of the mage in front of him, thinking about what spells to use to deal with the other party.

this was also the reason why the players were often at a disadvantage when they first came into contact with the wizard class in arthur.

warlocks had six spells per level, which was closer to the image of a ” wizard ” in the game.

as for the real mages, as the number of spells they learned increased, the elements they needed to consider when making decisions would become more complicated.

Although they were also limited by the preparation of spells, they more or less began to use one-time items like scrolls to make up for the flexibility.

However, most of them still matched some fixed routines in the process of preparing spells, striving to cope with changes with no changes.

Of course, they wouldn’t be able to move as nimbly as Zhao Xu.

At this moment, the young man from Huafu looked at the swift sword squad and remained silent. They did not give in to his request, but they were unable to object to him.

He sneered and waved to the mages behind him. then your teammates are willing to follow me, so it’s not embarrassing for you, right? ”

Upon hearing this, the members of the swift sword squad, who were fond of Ranger latier, clenched their weapons tightly. However, they did not speak to mo Luo, and could only wait.

this was because everyone knew that this wasn’t an individual’s honor, but the life and death of the entire team.

suddenly, the mage raised the mysterious scepter in his hand and tapped it on the ground.

everyone thought that the other party was about to make a move, and they couldn’t help but jump in shock.

However, everything immediately fell silent, as if Zhao Xu had just felt uncomfortable holding it and had just changed his position.

however, the female ranger latier, who was wearing a chain-armor shirt that could not hide her curvaceous figure, suddenly stood up. the compound longbow that she had been holding fell to the stone floor.

The weapon that he usually protected was like grass at this moment, and he would not hesitate to throw it away.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment as she walked past her best friend.

Latier obediently sat down and leaned against the young man in luxurious clothes.

This sudden turn of events left everyone at the scene confused.

According to their thinking, when casting a spell, shouldn’t they have to chant an incantation? moreover, they didn’t see anyone present communicate with latier at all.

why did she suddenly do this?

“What demonic technique did you just use?” The warrior in the team was suddenly furious. He stood up and glared at the young man in luxurious clothes and the mage. However, his tone was not very satisfied, and he did not dare to bite them to death.

“It’s obvious that your teammates couldn’t bear to cause a conflict between you and me because of their own reasons, so they came over to serve me.” the young man in luxurious clothes smiled and leaned back even more to find a more comfortable position.

At this moment, latier nodded obediently as if she agreed with what the other party said. The expression in her eyes also changed a little.

Zhao Xu, who was standing in the distance, was also quite surprised by this.

he didn’t expect to see someone use the level 5 spell ” dominate humans ” in an ordinary tavern.

as expected, the adventurers could hardly get a level 5 spell, so they used it casually in a tavern because of jealousy.

He didn’t even have the slightest bit of consideration. Although everyone couldn’t see the priest robe he was wearing at the beginning due to the Shadow’s angle, he was still quite arrogant to be so swaggering.

Human domination was also a level 4 spell for traveling poets, so even when Zhao Xu mastered a level 4 divine spell, he could still use it without having to wait until he reached level 9.

the duration of the spell was calculated by days.

it could be said that a level 5 spell could directly pull in a follower who would be obedient for at least ten days. the only flaw was that this spell could only be used on “humanoid creatures.” if it wanted to be effective on monsters, it had to be a level 9 “monster domination.”

as for why latier had walked over without any orders, zhao xu also knew the reason.

because this spell was connected to the heart, only simple verbal commands could be used unless there was a language barrier.

As long as they were hit by this spell, the other party would do their best to listen to the ruler’s instructions. They would not do anything other than eating and drinking.

therefore, after a long time of living together, “dominate humans” was easier to see through than other confusion and control spells.

It was just that the mage had obviously used some special means to conceal his ‘incantation’ and ‘posture’ of casting the spell, which confused the sword disease squad. They could not be sure that their teammate was affected by the spell.

And in those few seconds, no one could analyze too much.

Zhao Xu could only shake his head at this. A five-ring Soul Master who could “dominate humans” would be able to cause chaos on earth.

Even in Arthur, these “beguiling and controlling” spells would cause a lot of trouble, and the mages ‘terrifying reputation was also partly due to these spells.

After all, it was a taboo to change someone’s memory.

“Forget it. Since your teammates are willing to sacrifice themselves to serve me, I’ll let you bunch of blind people off. Return that thing to my family and take back your teammate.” the young man in luxurious clothes pinched the face of the woman beside him as he spoke and stood up while laughing.

The members of the swift sword squad, especially those who had just been chatting and laughing with latier, were all furious at this moment. Their faces turned green as they looked at this scene, but they could do nothing about it.

Or rather, under the invisible pressure of the mage family, they were unable to move at all.

They had indeed guessed that latier could be controlled by magic, but this guess would only lead to an even more exaggerated guess.

This mage was already capable of reversing the hearts of people without a sound.

However, at this moment, a ” ghostly hand ” that could replace the spellcaster to cast the ” touch ” spell appeared out of thin air under the wizard’s stool. It was extremely hidden and no one knew.

at the same time, zhao xu, who had been accumulating energy for a long time, suddenly stood up and for the second time, the stool behind him made a loud clatter.

He raised the instant Super Magic staff in his hand and pointed it forward.

He wasn’t sympathizing with the woman’s pitiful experience.

He did not pity the members of the swift sword squad who did not dare to fight back after their beloved ones were taken away.

He just didn’t like it.

The auction tonight had been ruined anyway, so there was no need for Zhao Xu to keep his spells for the new year.

“melf’s unicorn’s arrow!”

the smooth tip of the scepter instantly produced a ball of secret art energy, which directly turned into three transparent unicorns that glowed faintly. they lowered their heads and charged at the guards who had been on guard.

the mage was jolted back to his senses. he immediately looked back at the entire tavern and stared at the enemy who had suddenly attacked him.

However, he didn’t notice that the ” ghostly hand ” had quietly climbed up behind him.

“Chilling touch!”

[ adventurer zhongxia, you used the level 2 spell, ghost hand, to cast the level 3 contact spell, shivering touch. ]

[magic ignored immunity and magic resistance, causing 12 agility damage (3d6). Target’s agility is reduced to zero, falling into a helpless state. Time: [12 rounds]
