The Truth of Magic

Chapter 384

384 vivian’s output

While everyone else was still trying to figure out the meaning of the pattern ...

zhao xu was already analyzing all the possibilities in his mind.

back then, after the seven of them had obtained the seven notebooks from the cemetery, three of them had returned to mystra. they were the assa, andre, and errol families.

during this time, zhao xu also managed to obtain all the laptops from the three families and successfully leveled up two levels.

however, he knew nothing about the other four adventurers.

He only knew that donder, the current leader of the northern Alliance, had one through his daughter.

the sorcery giant clan also had one, and the sorcery giant was even imprisoned underground near the fallen star lake.

These two books didn’t seem like they would be easy to get rid of, so Zhao Xu didn’t think too much about it.

Who would have thought that he would come into contact with the whereabouts of the mysterious notebook in the barren lands under the attack of the corpsedemon?

It instantly solved the problem of his current level up.

It was just like the ” poet’s way of acting ” he had just mentioned.

the acting style of a mage was also very simple. they would study hard in ancient books, flip through moldy ancient scrolls, debate magic theories with others, and delve into the art of casting spells.

” magic is not talent, but a skill that is learned through hard work, ” a group of talented spellcasters said.

this was also the reason why the warriors could reach level 10 in his previous life, while the mages were only level 5.

the majority of players were playing as mages, and they were no longer playing as real mages.

because of this, zhao xu had relied on his ” notebook ” to keep on breaking through.

in the future, he felt that he could only rely on this path to continue maintaining his advantage over the current players.

he looked at the corpse that he had awakened with magic and fell into deep thought.

Then, how did the corpsedemon get connected to the notebook?

In total, there were three laptops around the northern Alliance, which was the same as Mystra’s.

He knew that there must be a secret here.

It had already surpassed the level of coincidence.

But he had no way of asking.

After Zhao Xu backed out of his position, the other adventurers also swarmed over and started asking questions about the corpse.

the duration of the ‘conversation of the dead’ spell was minute-long, and it could summon the marks left in the body by the souls of the dead.

through magic, one could learn all the knowledge of the deceased, but no new information could be obtained.

Therefore, the dead had no secrets.

“President? you have a clue?” Vivian was following Zhao Xu closely and was secretly communicating with him through the telepathic bond.

The two of them stood on the edge of the tent, avoiding the crowd in front of them. Vivian slanted the sword in her hand, guarding against any strange movements around her.

If anything were to happen, she would definitely use the ‘evil-vanquishing slash’.

Zhao Xu just looked at the corpse that was surrounded by people and asked questions. He replied quietly, ” “I’m thinking, why is it this Bard?”

“Perhaps it’s because he’s the least likely to be fleeing.” Vivian said, ” although the other party’s muscles remained in the stiff state of surprise, we can still barely see that she was very happy when she was alive.

” it’s just that death came too quickly, so this joy didn’t have time to switch into complete shock. ”

Zhao Xu suddenly felt like he was on a whim, and he immediately walked forward and squeezed into the crowd.

It was mixed with the aftermath of Vivian killing people in the day, Zhao Xu casting spells at night, and passing down the secret of the poet’s level up.

wherever he went, the rest of the people made way for him.

zhao xu sighed and then asked the dead poet, ” what did you dream about? ”

dreams were a mysterious existence. once one realized that they were dreaming, they would wake up.

However, if one knew that they were dreaming but couldn’t wake up, they could become the creator of the dream. This was the origin of the ” Qingming dream ” method.

the poet’s corpse clenched its teeth a few times before saying, ” “I dreamed that I went back to the small town in my hometown and proposed marriage to the person I love. because i’ll be able to meet her after i pass through this yi di, i put on the most beautiful gown to show her. ”

this topic seemed to hit the instinct of the corpse. he continued to talk about this topic and went on and on.

Until someone else interrupted him with a new question.

” from the looks of it, it was joy or a dream that made him the target. ” After Zhao Xu organized his thoughts, he explained it to Vivian.

Then, he slowly presented his arguments, and Vivian listened and nodded in agreement.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, another scream came from outside the tent.

in an instant, the group of adventurers in the tent, each of whom was level 2 or 3, rushed out.

they saw a middle-aged woman in a tattered cotton dress, kneeling beside the body of a man of similar age, crying and complaining that the other party had let go of their family.

He was also grumbling about how the other party had fallen asleep at such a dangerous moment.

“it’s a middle-aged couple running a tofu stall in luca city. this time, they’re also planning to go to a bigger town to run their business, so they went on their way when they saw the storm. Just now, the man was a little sleepy and took a short nap. In the end, he died with the same symptoms.” someone introduced.

Was it really a dream?

This guess suddenly appeared in everyone’s mind.

This time, the one who died was not a professional, but a civilian whose physical strength was beginning to decline.

In addition, the players couldn’t go offline safely, so the residents of Arthur were trapped here.

A terrifying thought began to shroud everyone’s hearts-

I can’t sleep.

A few children who had played too much during the day and were already sleepy sat on the ground and watched this scene. They could not help but doze off, but they were immediately woken up by their parents beside them.

Sleepiness slowly crept up on everyone’s shoulders, but they were constantly patted on the ground.

With the start of a new round of autopsy, everyone came to the same conclusion as the first body.

However, the bonfire was still burning.

the light of the flame shone on everyone’s face, and it could still be seen that everyone was a little tired.

Everyone was already exhausted during the day, and it was even more so at night.

the problem that could have been solved by arranging several night shifts began to evolve into a battle of staying up late.

They had no idea how to fight back, so they could only continue to stay here. They didn’t dare to watch another terrifying legend move forward in the desolate ruins at night.

zhao xu followed the others and gave the widow some consolation money. then, he went back to the entrance of their tent and sat down.

vivian stuck her sword into the ground and leaned back slightly, but her eyes were gently on zhao xu and didn’t leave him for even a second.

“Vivian, do you feel happy now?”

zhao xu asked.

As a Paladin, Vivian’s mind was spinning quickly. ever since lady Wuyue guided me to see the great immortal truth of God. other than the simultaneous change of my faction, my heart has also fallen into an incomparable peace.”

“from that moment until now, i can feel every pore on my body cheering for joy. the feeling of tears of joy because of the beauty of life often reverberates in my body.”

I just don’t know if this feeling is the same as the joy you mentioned. Vivian asked, slightly distressed.

suddenly, zhao xu had a smile on his face as he moved closer to vivian. “then you don’t mind if i do a simple and harmless little experiment to make sure that you’re really in a state of joy, right?”

although her mission was to protect mr. zhongxia and couldn’t involve any other special services, she was still a little worried.

However, Vivian, who wanted to cooperate as much as possible, nodded seriously and closed her eyes.

However, what he received was not the unbuttoning of his shirt, but a light finger pointing at the space between his brows.

Level 3 spell.

The joy of refinement!

“that’s enough. you’re indeed in a state of happiness.” zhao xu said.

at this moment, vivian opened her eyes in confusion and saw that zhao xu was holding a glass bottle in his hand. it was filled with a transparent white liquid.

“This is the immortal puppet?” Vivian asked in a low voice, looking at the thing extracted from her body. She knew it was normal, but she still felt a little shy.

Zhao Xu sighed at how convenient it was to talk to people with such vast knowledge. He just had to say a few words, and the other person would be able to follow up on the rest.

when we were fighting against the Empyrean, lady Cang ye obtained a batch of such resources, so I’ve tried it. vivian explained.

the liquid in zhao xu’s bottle was the dissipated happiness that he had extracted from his targets who were in a state of happiness.

It was only from their bodies that happiness, joy, and happiness would overflow and then be collected by magic.

” if the other party’s goal is happiness, then this bottle of happiness extract in my hand is the bait. ”

zhao xu explained to vivian as he gently placed the glass bottle on the ground and got up.

at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the void.
