The Truth of Magic

Chapter 487

487 Intelligence on the mages

“Didn’t you say that Flay shouldn’t have any suspicions?” Zhao Xu said.

No one could predict what might appear in a girl’s room. Plus, Zhao Xu didn’t have such fetishes, so if he were to find anything strange while searching the place, it would only make it awkward for him to see Flay in the future.

“Yes, that’s what you said.”

Antonya continued, ” just because she’s fine doesn’t mean that donder didn’t set up anything. Especially after hearing your story, I’m afraid that the relationship between her and donder is not as kind as the outside world thinks.”

“Then let’s go.” Zhao Xu nodded in understanding.

Antonya also cast a level 8 ‘mind barrier’ spell on him.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have been affected by the eighth-circle spell ‘mind barrier.’ You can ignore detection, affect the perception of thoughts or emotions, or magic with similar functions. Time: [ 24 hours ]

Seeing this post, he felt more at ease.

This meant that from now on, he would stop all spells and effects that affected the mind, as well as the detection of divination spells and effects.

in such a situation, even if someone used a ‘regional detection’ spell, he would disappear.

Only the ” single target detection ” that targeted him, just like how he used it to search for Klose, could be discovered.

But after hearing what Antonya said, Zhao Xu felt like an alarm was ringing in his heart.

If he was an eighth-circle mage, he would have put on a ” mental barrier ” and teleported himself in without hesitation.

This happened to fall into the eyes of the evil demon general grazite, and he even became the prey again.

It seemed that he would have to be more cautious in the future no matter how strong he was. For example, he would first teleport to the vicinity of his destination, then slowly plan.

when I first saw you, I thought you barged in after casting the level 3 spell ‘avoid detection’ on yourself. You’re quite bold. Antonya commented.

“It was indeed a risk.”

Zhao Xu nodded. He had just started suspecting that Flay was both in danger and a demon follower.

He was worried that he would push the other party into the fire pit, so he was also a little anxious and did not activate the teleportation after preparing all the protective spells.

Otherwise, even though he would not be immune to detection, he would still have to fight against the detection spell at the same level as the caster. However, it was still a powerful tool for him to fight against the ‘spell surveillance network’ of the entire governor’s manor.

After Antonya cast a few more spells on Zhao Xu, they quietly left the underground guard tower.

Although there was a large-scale attack on the fiery red lips last night, the atmosphere in the governor’s manor was still very calm. The servants were still preparing for the ‘grand event’ that would be held later tonight.

As for the frequency at which the guards patrolled the area, it wasn’t much different from when Zhao Xu had been around in his previous life.

“Teacher, are we not going to choose the ‘illusionary spirit body’ spell?”

At this moment, Zhao Xu and Antonya were walking along the brick path in the back of the governor’s manor. They were careful to avoid any pedestrians while they continued to lay low.

When Zhao Xu was testing it out in the final scroll, he had tried to simulate a powerful wizard from a certain period of history to take revenge.

When he sneaked into the castle, he chose to use the seventh-circle spell,’illusionary spirit body’. This way, his entire body would be hidden in the spirit world.

Although his vision of the Prime Material Plane had been very blurry at the time, and the range of his vision had been limited, he would not have even been ” touched ” as compared to ” invisibility.

He would not be stopped by any room.

now, they were covered in the most powerful version of the ninth-circle ” ultimate invisibility. ” although they would not leave any traces when they walked on the road, they could not be caught by powder or water, and even the ability of ” tremor perception ” could not capture them.

However, if a large net really came down from above, it could still be detected.

“It’s simple.” Antonya explained, ” because in the Prime Material Plane, there’s a lot more freedom, and it’s very convenient for me to cast spells.

“The art of truth can see through the existence of the ‘spiritual world’, so it has a fatal flaw like the invisibility spell. But now, so what if I’m really discovered?”

As she spoke, Antonya looked at Zhao Xu with some interest. even if someone really does notice us with the true sight gem.

“His shout is definitely not as fast as my ‘Swift burst’.”

Zhao Xu finally understood.

in the backyard of the governor’s manor, he was like a passerby in a zombie survival game with a small knife. he could only constantly avoid the dangerous points and move forward.

But Antonya had come in with a submachine gun, so she would be killed instantly if she saw her. The invisibility spell was just to avoid trouble. If she was really discovered, she would just be killed instantly.

The strength and application of spells ultimately depended on the current ability.

Not long after, Zhao Xu found Flay’s bedroom using his vague memories from his previous life.

Flay’s residence was located at a critical location in the governor’s manor. The courtyard itself was a separate building with a small garden specially arranged inside. There were fences and walls surrounding it.

After passing by a few of the maids who were watering the plants, Zhao Xu and Antonya quickly snuck into Flay’s house.

The living room in front was connected to the study, and the master bedroom was a little further back.

Although it was still daytime, Flay was not around. With the doors and windows closed, the interior was rather dark.

“Art of truth.” Antonya cast this spell on Zhao Xu.

In an instant, all the darkness in front of him lost its effect in Zhao Xu’s eyes. Even the secret door that was hidden by magic was completely exposed.

After a cursory search, Zhao Xu could only shake his head. He didn’t find anything.

Even the records of Flay’s daily life on the table mostly recorded trivial matters.

Flay obviously wanted to take revenge, but she wouldn’t reveal her true intentions in this environment under the control of donder, the commander of the Alliance.

Now that Zhao Xu wanted to look for clues, he was even more clueless.

“Mentor, let’s go to another place?”

At this moment, Zhao Xu had already walked into Flay’s bedroom with Antonya, and this was something that Zhao Xu didn’t expect.

when he first met flay, she was dressed very sexily. at that time, she was wearing a low-cut top, which even revealed her long legs.

...

At this moment, her bedroom was very simple, without even a little lace lace that little girls liked.

at this moment, antonya also opened up flay’s display window and opened up the row of dresses on it. she gently ran her fingers over the corners of the dresses, as if she was feeling the material.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s ears twitched a little and he telepathically said this to Antonya.

the maidservant outside said that Flay doesn’t usually stay here. She has her own courtyard outside the city. She doesn’t usually come back unless there’s a special celebration.

When Zhao Xu walked past those maids just now, he put down the coin he was using to eavesdrop on their conversation. He didn’t think that he would actually hear some inside information.

This also explained why Flay was able to sneak out and join him in the attack.

“No, this is just right.” Antonya replied.

“Although it’s barely noticeable, I can feel that the demonic aura in this area has become a bit thicker.”

After Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn’t help but open his eyes wide and take a closer look.

However, when he came back to his senses, he realized that detect evil was only effective on magic items.

“Idiot.” Antonya looked at the eager expression on Zhao Xu’s face and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. as long as you’ve fought a demon before, you’ll at least be able to sense it. But you haven’t had much contact with it, so you won’t be able to feel it very well.

...

“But?” as he spoke, zhao xu ran his hand over the dressing table on the side. with his secret vision, he could see that there weren’t many magic items in the room.

If the furniture was under the influence of the demonic aura for a long time, it would easily turn into demonic items.

in the end, he was someone who had fought with the demon general grazite twice, but he didn’t notice it at all.

“It’s strange that these tables don’t have demonic aura on them. It is reasonable to say that these tables look like they have been placed there for a year and a half, but there is no stain at all. Isn’t it a little strange?”

“yes.” Zhao Xu nodded.

it’s very simple. This room has been specially wiped with holy water to cover it up when we disturb it regularly. Antonya explained.

“This, isn’t this too cautious?” Zhao Xu laughed.

He immediately pulled open the dresses that Antonya had touched earlier. His fingers touched them gently, and he instantly felt a strange sense of familiarity.

If Antonya hadn’t reminded him just now, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to remember what it was.

He might just turn a blind eye to it.

But now, he understood.

After the house had been emitting the demonic aura for a long time, the furniture had been wiped and cleaned regularly, so there were no traces left.

however, the formal wear could not be washed with the furniture.

“These gowns will naturally be ironed with holy water before they are worn, so you won’t be able to tell. But now, naturally, I’ve left a flaw.” Antonya explained.

Generally speaking.

In the world of Arthur, the only things that could continuously emit this demonic aura were the demonic temples and altars.

Zhao Xu’s gaze also turned to the black and white carpet on the ground. He walked over to the corner and lifted it up.

As a wave of dust rolled up the carpet, what came into their eyes was a tightly-laid brick floor with few cracks.

There was no hidden door, otherwise, it would have been exposed under his true knowledge technique.

“You’re right.” Antonya said, ” the demon altar is underground. There used to be a secret passage here, but it was sealed up by mud. If you want to go down, you can only rely on magic.”

“Teacher, how did you know?”

In Zhao Xu’s previous life, he had a family business that ran a ” brick factory, ” so he didn’t even notice that the floor had been deliberately made old. He didn’t even see any signs that the secret chamber had been sealed off.

“It’s very simple. I’ve read the construction files and change history of this inner layer.”

“After Flay was recognized, this place was renovated. Then, I checked the whereabouts of the craftsmen who participated in the renovation. As of today, they’re all dead.”

After Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

It was obvious that his mentor had been suspicious from the start and had come straight for the target.

“Zhongxia, this is the other lesson I’ll be teaching you.”

it’s another matter whether your spells are effective against experts, but they’re a great killing weapon against ordinary people.

” the most important part of arthur’s humans are these ordinary people who don’t have any fighting or defensive abilities. ”

” the information obtained through them can sometimes help you get twice the result with half the effort and directly find the key. ”

Antonya said as she landed.

When she saw Zhao Xu nod his head in agreement, she also looked very satisfied.

Of course, she wasn’t going to tell Zhao Xu that everything she was saying was actually the information that dark disc had compiled and given her.

In fact, even without the information, she could still detect traces of old age on the ground with her searching skills.
