The Truth of Magic

Chapter 502

502 Swordfinger lair

“It’s you?” The younger sister of the two of them only recognized who Zhao Xu was after hearing his voice up close.

“Little sister, you know him?” at this time, the paladin had not yet connected the carriage that fell into the abyss with the man in front of him, and he was suddenly very surprised.

“Miss Ranno, it seems that you have recognized me.” Zhao Xu laughed heartily. In reality, he didn’t expect this to be a coincidence either.

The siblings in front of him were the Shen Nian and Shen ze siblings he knew in his previous life. They had helped Zhao Xu a lot back then.

Before the battle of fallen star Lake, he had met the Warlock named Ranno, Shen Nian, at a stall in winter city.

At that time, Zhao Xu had casually identified the bronze Gryphon statue that was worth more than 10000 gold coins and asked Shen Nian to keep it safe for her brother.

brother, he’s the mage who picked out your bronze mount for us. Shen Nian shook her brother’s arm in an excited tone.

Shen ze, who had been sizing Zhao Xu up, suddenly widened his eyes. so, it’s you.

As he spoke, he stretched out his strong arms and held Zhao Xu tightly. according to the rules of the market, you picked out this magic item for us, so we should compensate you. But my sister wasn’t sensible at the time and didn’t stop you in time.

When Zhao Xu saw what she meant, he waved his hand and said, “no, it’s nothing. It was just a coincidence.

Shen Nian saw her brother’s blank look and quickly interrupted, ” let me introduce you. This is my brother, a level-4 Paladin of the God of justice and discipline in winter city. He belongs to the Holy guard Knights.

“And I, Ran Li, winter city Warlock, am also Level 4.” Shen Nian smiled brightly.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but take a closer look. The Shen siblings, who were famous throughout winter city in the future, were now at a higher level than normal, so it wasn’t strange at all.

He just didn’t expect that Shen Nian, as a Warlock among the spellcasters, had actually successfully reached the key level of Level 4.

However, warlocks had their own difficulties.

they had to be at even-level to cast spells that were one level higher.

For example, level 2 spells could be cast by spell priests at Level 3, but warlocks had to wait until Level 4, which was naturally slower.

“Then, this kind gentleman from back then, you are?” the warlock shen nian asked.

“Zhongxia.” Zhao Xu replied simply.

The current him could only say one name among the players.

Even if the poets used [Yi Wen knowledge] to search for this id, they would be able to get some information.

In an instant, the Shen siblings, who felt that they had already surpassed the average player by a lot and were considered top players even in winter city, looked at Zhao Xu in shock.

It was as if he found it hard to believe that the kind person was actually a hidden Big Boss.

The ID “Midsummer” was probably just a normal name outside of Arthur’s circle.

However, in Arthur, this name had accumulated endless energy storms in a short time.

Any random player, even a lifestyle player who just wanted to go on a spring outing, would know that ‘zhongxia’ was the number one player in the game.

He was a heaven-defying player who was two levels ahead of the second place.

Even in Tieba and some search posts on forums, the analysis of this name was already uncountable.

There were also some people who went to other websites to search for users with the same ID, trying to find out the real identity of the player named zhongxia.

Sometimes, when one was not in the same circle, they would only be treated like grass.

However, the top figures in the same circle would have a thunderous “shock.”

Zhao Xu had always thought of himself as a plain person, or rather, he had always been ” bullied ” by Antonya. This was the first time he had seen someone he knew from his previous life looking at him like this, and he felt a little awkward.

As for Shen ze, he could not help but hold his hand harder due to his excitement, as if he was a little agitated.

However, Zhao Xu was now relying on the power of his fourth-circle decay domain. Not only did it increase his spellcaster level dramatically, but it also increased his power by a large amount.

With his current strength of more than 20, he could completely ignore Shen ze’s strength.

As the player with the most power right now, Zhao Xu felt a little guilty that he wasn’t able to properly play as a close-combat player.

“I’m sorry.” Shen ze then realized that he was too excited and quickly let go.

Then, the curious Shen siblings asked Zhao Xu a lot of questions.

in reality, they didn’t want to touch on zhao xu’s level-up privacy, so they asked him about other things.

Zhao Xu had too many secrets that he couldn’t explain, and leveling up was a brutal process. Fortunately, he had a decent IQ, so he was able to keep his secrets to himself.

And after talking to him, Zhao Xu found out that the other party had taken the risk of traveling through the ice and snow to cross the cracked ice canyon just to investigate the series of missing people cases.

Shen ze traveled thousands of miles, from winter city to Olu city, and then went up the mountain according to the clues. His sister had only followed him because she was worried about him.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but find it strange. the Holy guard Knights wouldn’t have let you come here alone, right? ”

Shen ze, however, looked a little lonely. it’s mainly because I don’t have any leads on this matter at the moment, and it’s not very important yet. That’s why the regiment arranged for us to be in charge. In order to increase efficiency, we have to investigate separately.”

Zhao Xu suddenly remembered that Shen ze had also gone to Starfall to investigate the mine owner’s slave trade case. He asked, “any leads?”

I heard that there’s a secret base on the ice Mountain range. I suspect it’s there.

“Who is it?”

“The six sisters.” Shen ze said awkwardly, ” our Knight order has actually been tracking the six sisters for many years. It’s just that the location where they hid the hostages has always been very secretive. my sister suspects that it’s on the ice mountain range, but the other main roads have been guarded, so it’s impossible for the six sisters to bring a large number of slaves through without anyone knowing.”

therefore, our small team will split up and guard a few shortcuts that are difficult to pass through. We will observe if the six sisters have any special climbing methods.

Zhao Xu suddenly understood. He knew that although it looked like Shen ze had stumbled upon it by accident, he had actually found the key.

According to the time given by the other party, the time between the six sisters robbing Flay and Madam Ellie was a little short.

Even if he quickly climbed the mountain and then descended to sneak into the city of Olu, it was somewhat rushed, as if it was a sudden order.

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s entire body quieted down as he thought about the new information that the Shen siblings had given him.

...

Logically speaking, if they knew about it, they should have reported it to the Alliance immediately. As the target, he should have received this first-hand news.

However, he did not receive it, as if someone had forcefully cut off part of the crucial information.

And Zhao Xu, who had just passed through Olu city, knew that he had to take this opportunity to ” escape ” even though he knew that the mysterious storm above the frozen Canyon was going to work.

He feigned death to escape.

He was driving a carriage. To be honest, he was like a bright light in the dark night, attracting the attention of all forces.

“En, I was just about to go look for the six sisters.”

Zhao Xu said as he told the two of them about how he had rescued the two of them.

Immediately, Shen Nian and Shen ze frowned as they heard this. It was obvious that they had already realized the huge danger hidden behind this.

“I need your help.” zhao xu said in a low voice.

When he realized that the six sisters might have a secret base in the ice plains mountain range where they kept a lot of kidnapped hostages and even slaves, Zhao Xu realized that he wasn’t just trying to be a hero and that he could have just saved Flay and Madam Ellie by himself.

Without external forces, the people who were robbed would freeze to death when they went down the mountain.

...

“But big brother zhongxia.” shen nian asked, ” logically speaking, isn’t it more effective to ask the alliance for help? ”

Zhao Xu laughed and shook his head. As expected, Shen Nian wasn’t as experienced as she was in the future.

Or rather, they trusted the game officials more.

“I need to avoid them.” Zhao Xu said, ” it’s not that there’s a problem with the higher-ups, but there must be someone on the side of the six sisters in the entire Information Network. There’s also a force that’s against me saving them, and they’re hoping that Flay and Madam Ellie will die in their hands.

Then he looked at the Paladin Shen ze. if there is anything in the northern Alliance that is the most reliable, then the Knights under the God of justice, I think, will definitely be in the top three.

Suddenly, Shen ze felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his heart. He immediately placed the hilt of his long sword against his chest. glory is my life, justice is my soul.

Zhao Xu nodded silently when he saw the oath. He drew a rough map of the ice plains and mountains on the surface of the ice and then started explaining to the Shen siblings.

The most powerful thing about Paladins in Arthur was that they could be said to be independent of the government, similar to the ” prosecutor’s office ” and even part of the ” court “.

Moreover, every Paladin was like an independent prosecutor. They had enough power to communicate with the power of the entire Knight Regiment.

It had only been a suspicion before, so only a few Paladins had come. But after Zhao Xu provided some solid evidence, a lot of things had been solved.

“Big brother zhongxia, how did you know about the six sisters” hideout?” Shen Nian was looking at Zhao Xu with an extremely surprised expression, as if he was one of the six sisters.

Zhao Xu let out a small sigh of relief.

He looked out of the door of the ice cabin and didn’t say anything.

The thoughts in his heart had already drifted back to his previous life.

He returned to the past where he had followed a woman to the lair of the six sisters in the ice plains mountain range. After finding out the truth, he had broken off relations with her.

“Oh, that’s right.” Zhao Xu suddenly remembered a question that he had always wanted to ask in his previous life, but he was afraid that Shen ze would beat him to death if he asked it.

Shen ze patted his chest and looked forward to Zhao Xu’s question.

zhao xu showed his pearly white teeth as he looked at shen ze and asked with ill intentions.

“Are you a sis-con?”
