The Truth of Magic

Chapter 538

538 Another “promise” and the choice of fate

When he heard what she said, Zhao Xu actually started to think back to the battle at fallen star Lake and the part where he had been held back.

Arthur’s spells, especially damage spells, mostly had a radius of six meters, or even dozens of meters.

A kilometer-level spell like ” winter of fembor ” was rare, not to mention that it didn’t cause any damage.

If they really encountered a high-intensity spell bombardment on the battlefield, as long as the commander’s intelligence was there, he would also know to pull the team a certain distance.

It was a basic operation to disperse the density of the eggs and avoid smashing them all at once.

Just like when the earth entered the era of steel, the collective charge of the cavalry became the last sacrificial song.

In the face of the ” artillery bombardment ” similar to the magic bombardment, the soldiers also scattered and advanced, digging trenches and blockhouses to hide.

At the same time, even “long distance” spells like fireball had a casting distance of 120 meters, plus an additional 40 meters per level.

A normal wizard wouldn’t be able to stack up to more than 20 levels like Zhao Xu did and attack from more than a thousand meters away.

Most of the mages and warlocks were only a few hundred meters away.

that was why in the fantasy world of arthur, in a large-scale battle, unless the mages and warlocks could form an organized unit with a stable output, they would be used as ” sharp ” troops.

That was the Special Forces.

Decapitation tactics, intelligence warfare, fixed point bombing warfare, and so on, they were the last bayonets to stab the enemy.

So, when he heard Matthew mention that Arthur still had a war spell with a ‘large area of effect’. ..

How could Zhao Xu not be surprised?

During the battle of fallen star Lake, he had also relied on the ninth-circle divine miracle to exchange for the goddess sisylvana’s divine grace and mass-distribution of group spells.

the power of this spell could be said to have completely exceeded the level of an ordinary 9th-circle spell. it was similar to the kind that could directly alleviate the pain of the entire town attacked by the plague.

Now, there was actually an opportunity that was within reach?

For Zhao Xu, who already had so many snowball-like methods, wouldn’t that be like giving it away for free?

But under the impact of this temptation, Zhao Xu’s mind still remained clear and he slowly regained his calm.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. A free lunch was the most expensive.

“what do you want from me?” Zhao Xu asked.

Although this old man, Matthew, looked extremely concerned about Antonya, and had even once been the owner of the fake warehouse, he was definitely a core member of Ernest’s small team.

however, in this world, there were only two of his parents.

Good things for no reason didn’t exist among strangers.

“Relax,” The old man, Matthew, laughed. Even though the wrinkles on his face had piled up, it was still difficult to hide the joy in his heart.

Carefreeness was the greatest protection barrier.

The moment he opened his mouth, it meant that Zhao Xu had already entered the game.

“All I need is a promise from you.” Old man Matthew said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but cough as if he had said something wrong and was being retaliated against.

Again?

At this moment, Zhao Xu’s entire body was almost numb, and he suddenly had an idea.

if one day he really mastered ” inter-world teleportation ” and was able to reach the outer world, would he be able to sell his ” promise ” in the city of imprint that was controlled by the lady of pain and connected all the planes?

how much would a promise cost?

If Matthew was the first to come to him for this ” promise, ” he might have already given it.

however, from the past until now, he had been a little sensitive to things like ” promises. ”

This was especially so after Zhao Xu found out that Arthur still had powers like ” true names ” and ” oaths.

Just by making a seemingly conservative and harmless promise like ” to be loyal to magic until death “, he could bring himself the ” advantage ” of being unable to multi-professionate at the same time as a double elite class.

This was already the “power” of breaking through the natural order. If he went any deeper, he didn’t even dare to think of that kind of power.

However, the weight of a war spell was so heavy that Zhao Xu couldn’t just directly reject it.

Since ancient times, it wasn’t just wealth that could create a dynasty. There had been a few lucky people in history who had successfully obtained treasures.

However, among these people, only the old man Matthew in front of him had successfully established a dynasty with power that spanned the mainland.

The current Empire of the eastern land was not even close to that level.

And according to Matthew,’war spells’ had made a lot of contributions in the process of the dynasty’s establishment.

“Don’t worry.” Old man Matthew could tell what Zhao Xu was thinking.

He seemed to have transformed into a sharp-tongued persuader. the premise of war spells is the specialty of ‘studying war spells’. Back then, master saw that I had the impulse and desire to expand my territory, so he taught me this specialty.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. This meant that Ernest had seen through his ” ambition. even so, he still didn’t take any precautions. That Emperor was really big-hearted.

so this is a specialty that even the young lady doesn’t know about, because she can use legendary spells to achieve the power of most war spells, and even more powerful than them.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this.

Indeed, he still had the spell for the “dragon clan’s attack” in his hands.

If they were to throw them out at any time, no less than ten giant Dragons would descend upon Starfall town. If they really encountered an Army, they could crush many of them with their Dragon might.

However, it was difficult for a legendary-mage to establish a country.

Even the legendary master Ying ergou, whom they had met in the snow, had established the eastern land Empire with the nine Swords system.

...

zhao xu’s perspective was no longer limited to his own growth.

His foothold was on how to make the entire force stronger.

A war spell with a specialty as its premise meant that this was a ” skill ” that could be proliferated, so he could rely on the scale of the effect of the ” war spell ” to offset the problem of mage manpower.

the prerequisite for learning ‘research war spells’ is the iron will specialty and the level 3 spellcaster level. After obtaining it, you can master and learn these war spells.

Old man Matthew said in a tempting tone.

It was clear that he also knew that Zhao Xu was about to face the situation where all of humanity was going to transmigrate.

At that time, the group of players behind Zhao Xu was an extremely small group of ” Arthur players ” compared to the population of six or seven billion.

He had faced the same predicament as Matthew all those years ago. He had too few talents in his hands to maintain the stability of the entire territory.

To put it bluntly, the Army was weak.

war spells. As long as you obtain the specialty I just mentioned, you’ll see all the remaining war spells when you enter the ‘final scroll’.

they are also in the form of spells. For example, the Level 4 priest’s Divine Art military food spell can create food and water for 100 people per level.

...

with just one sentence, matthew had managed to pierce right into zhao xu’s heart.

The food for an additional six billion people was not something that could be solved with a joke of ‘purchase’ or ‘magic’.

Just by looking at the food market on earth, one could see the turbulent winds and clouds, the treacherous changes.

That was because the price would increase if one bought too much.

That was why the spellcasters of Arthur wanted to solve the food problem. Experts like the Druids who were good at plant magic also started from the planting process. They relied on good weather, enhanced the fertility of the land, and improved the seeds to achieve a bumper harvest.

And not just “conjuring” food.

Zhao Xu immediately thought things through. At his current level, he could use this military grain spell to create enough food for 4000 people in the ten minutes that the mana beads would take effect.

Compared to the ” grain-making technique ” of the third ring Road, which only required three people’s food per level, it was simply incomparable.

Even though Zhao Xu had an unlimited number of spell slots at level 9, he still couldn’t last 24 hours without stopping.

Damn, war spells were indeed powerful.

3,000 people, that was basically all the people that their family knew.

zhao xu thought back to the time when he had finally found some food and his parents didn’t want to finish it all by themselves, so they secretly gave it to their relatives ‘children. they were even worried that he would find out and put pressure on him, so he was a little stunned.

“even a ‘army mount’ at the second ring can summon 25 light horses of each level. Another example is the 2nd-circle ‘force field missile storm’. It can give a magic missile to 25 targets of each level within the range.”

The old man, Matthew, continued to bewitch Zhao Xu as he pointed out two extremely powerful level 2 spells.

A 2nd-circle spell, 800 warhorses, and a simultaneous magic missile to hit 800 targets.

This wasn’t an exaggerated number, but with Zhao Xu’s level as a level 20 spellcaster, it snowballed into a terrifying number.

He had casually formed a Cavalry Regiment and was now throwing missiles at them.

He could now see that the war spell was just an advanced version of the ordinary spell, which had become a war Mode.

The 3rd-circle grain-making spell corresponded to the 4th-circle Army grain-making spell, the 1st-circle summoned mounts corresponded to the 2nd-circle army mounts, and the 1st-circle magic missile corresponded to the 2nd-circle force field missile storm.

Didn’t that mean that the ‘war spell’ itself still had a vast space?

“What is the specific promise?”

In the end, Zhao Xu couldn’t suppress his curiosity any longer.

In reality, war spells had a limited effect on his personal combat strength, but to all the forces on earth, they were rather unsolvable.

At this moment, even if he rejected the ‘promise’, he still had to ask for the price.

The moment he noticed that Zhao Xu had taken the bait, Matthew finally revealed a sly smile, as if he was satisfied with the situation before him.

“There’s no rush, Mr. Zhongxia,” she smiled.

“I have to tell you the flaws of war spells. Compared to the fireball spell, which had an area of effect of 100 square meters, most war spells had an area of effect of 1000 to 3000 square meters, which was ten to 30 times larger. Naturally, the price they have to pay is not small.”

“First, even the simplest war spell needs at least one minute to cast. At the same time, during this time when the spell is gathering energy, it’s easy to be interrupted, just like other spells that require concentration. The only good thing was that the spells themselves were cast from a long distance, so as long as they were hidden well, they would not be easily injured.

Zhao Xu just smiled at this.

He had special skills, such as multi-talented spellcaster, which could change the casting time.

the second point is that before you use the war spell, you have to observe the target area for at least one minute in the past 24 hours to be familiar with the situation of the area.

the third point is that casting spells requires a high price. For example, creating military food requires 500 gold coins in silver, gold, or Platinum sheets with the Holy emblem.

Zhao Xu didn’t really have a headache over this problem.

As long as his ‘supernatural spells’ could cover the war spells in the future, these prices would naturally be nothing.

“Then tell me, what kind of promise do you need me to make?” Zhao Xu said with a sigh.

Faced with this situation, he more or less made up his mind. As long as it was not too exaggerated, he would accept it.

In the end ...

The ‘war spells’ were really too much.

The old man, Matthew, finally revealed a satisfied look. He understood that his adventure had finally ushered in the moment of harvest.

He was extremely emotional, but he didn’t dare to act on his own accord. In the end, after a quarter of an hour, he finally spoke.

” i want you to promise me, when it’s ..., don’t give up ... ”

The moment old man Matthew said his promise, Zhao Xu’s ears suddenly started to ring, but he still managed to understand what Matthew was saying from his lips.

“Sure, I promise you.” Zhao Xu finally felt more at ease now, and he spoke with a serious expression. His eyes were filled with determination.

” i can’t predict what i’ll be like at that time, but i can promise you that i’ll still have a pure heart. ”

“Very good, very good.” Old man Matthew laughed heartily. it’s really a happy occasion.

” mr. zhongxia, i know you’re aware of the unusual mission you’re carrying. ”

Matthew’s eyes showed a hint of conflict, but it quickly turned into determination. but I can tell you that the young lady was just about to enter the ‘teleportation portal’ when you entered the Association’s branch underground in Mystra, which is the hall of the arcane gate.

“The young miss is still struggling over whether she should drag you into the disputes of this world. Even Her Highness, Goddess Temple, only noticed you at that moment.”

if it wasn’t for you, Mr. Zhongxia, who happened to arrive in Mystra with an unavoidable soul attack, the young lady really wouldn’t have rashly dragged you into this dispute.

Matthew’s eyes were brimming with tears. so, please don’t blame the lady if you have no choice.

Matthew’s voice fell into silence.

“All of this is the choice of fate.”
