The Truth of Magic

Chapter 563

563 A legendary-mage underling

Saint’s descent-this was a beautiful adjective used by Antonya.

But Zhao Xu could already smell the ” scent of blood ” in the air.

To put it bluntly, the ” Saints ‘descent ” on the surface was the ” Saints’ crisis.

This meant that the gods had lost their divine power and descended to the human world, and the priest profession would be greatly affected.

Some priests with weak divine power became former priests on the spot, no longer having any power.

It was just like a historical legend that Zhao Xu had read before. After that world lost the goddess of magic, all the Arcanists lost their magic. At the same time, the floating cities also fell to the ground because they lost their power, and countless Arcanists were killed or injured.

At this moment, Zhao Xu could only be glad that he was only a level 1 cleric.

If it had really happened, the impact would not have been so exaggerated.

The priests might be fake, but the believers were real.

Therefore, in order to accumulate power, the gods would probably burst out with more power than in their previous life and enter the Wildlands, trying to fight for a bigger Foundation so that they had a chance to come back to life.

The avatar crisis was serious in Arthur’s world where the gods walked. It was a power that came in as an ant.

Just like what was recorded in ancient Earth history, Qin lost his deer and the world chased after it.

At that time, the gods who descended to the mortal world would be like golden pigs wandering around the world. Wherever they went, there would be bloodshed. Even the legendary powerhouses who had hidden for many years would brazenly take action to seize the Godhead.

Antonya and Zhao Xu had told him about the ” descent of the Saints ” after they had come out of the ancient shrine in the underground of fallen star Lake.

At that time, she had specifically mentioned that 99% of the people on earth might not even encounter this before they died of old age, so Zhao Xu wasn’t too worried.

And now, in the seventh month when God was not around, it seemed that a huge turmoil had indeed happened. It was so serious that it had brought forward the avatar’s crisis, the turmoil on the level of the Twilight of the Gods.

When he thought about how the entire Northlands still had to endure another round of demon-sealing battles, Zhao Xu suddenly felt that it was really hard to survive in this world.

after saying goodbye to antonya, zhao xu hid himself and teleported away before the god of justice’s paladins could even get close.

At the same time, there was a crystal floating on his forehead in place of the ‘lens’.

this crystal that antonya had given him was worth 120000 gold coins in terms of manufacturing cost, but it was also a “rare item” that arthur couldn’t afford to buy even with ten thousand gold coins.

every time this crystal appeared on the market, it would be intercepted and bought at a high price before it could even be circulated to the auction house.

That was because the crystal that could steadily release bright white light into the depths of one’s heart, illuminating the entire spiritual domain and calming one’s mind was called “hidden eye.

Its greatest function was to protect its owner from all magic items, spells, or psionic powers that could detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts, including any spells that had the description of ‘affecting the mind’ or ‘detecting’.

Even if he tried to achieve it through limited wishing magic, Miracle Magic, reality reversal, and wishing magic, it was useless.

As for Zhao Xu, even if the area he was in was searched by spells like the mystic Eye or detect, it was as if he didn’t exist.

This was “eye of concealment. wearing it was like having the effect of the level 8 spell” mind barrier “24 hours a day.

According to what Antonya had said, this was something that the goddess of magic, sisylvana, had created with her divine power.

Even if he used divine power to interfere, he could still protect the secret in the depths of his heart.

Because right now, if any of Zhao Xu’s thoughts were leaked out, it would be enough to cause a huge earthquake in Arthur.

This was also why Antonya had needed to find this piece of magical equipment for him while he was transmigrating.

Even if it conflicted with the Warlock’s goggles that Zhao Xu had before.

From now on, if Zhao Xu still wanted to use those goggles, he would have to take off the eye of concealment and leave some space in his mind. Naturally, he didn’t want to use it.

Because of this, the ” Warlock’s gear goggles “, a magic item that had saved Zhao Xu countless gold coins, could now be taken off the stage after he gained potential points and supernatural spells.

Aside from the eye of concealment that had been floating above Zhao Xu’s head, there were also a few ain stones floating above his head.

Orange prism ain stone, caster level +1.

A transparent spindle ain stone. From now on, it can sustain life without water and food.

Rainbow spindle ain stone. It could survive without air.

Pearl White spindle ain stone. Automatically recovers 1 damage point per hour.

With these people, Zhao Xu could be considered a master of wilderness survival.

Above his head, it was as if an unstable small galaxy was circling each other, but there was no green hat.

the eye of concealment was a magical item that every kingdom in arthur had to have. basically, everyone had to have one.

Otherwise, any mage who specialized in beguiling magic could easily overturn an entire country.

For example, if Zhao Xu were to use the spell ” dominate humans ” right now, even a strong warrior would find it difficult to defend against it.

More importantly, sisylvana had also cast a temporary special divine power on the concealed eye.

It could see through the magic talent of a ” civilian.

He didn’t even need to walk up to them, and he could see the thickness of the ” light pillar ” above everyone’s head that was connected to the magical domain.

Just before Antonya disappeared, Zhao Xu had taken a photo of her.

In an instant, his vision turned white, as if he had snow blindness. He couldn’t see anything clearly, and it took him a long time to recover. It was like a vision attack.

After Zhao Xu rushed back to Yanan, he came into contact with the group of mages that Mistra had sent.

Among them was even wizard Reyan, who had bragged about breaking through to legend half a year ago, and even the fireworks of the legend advancement ceremony had almost lost their effect due to the moisture, but had not yet officially become a legend.

Without a doubt, Mystra had sent no less than a hundred mages to Yanan.

In addition to bringing over a large amount of resources, these mages also used Yannan’s name to bring Zhao Xu’s people to the nearby areas to carry out emergency humanitarian aid.

They were also comparable to the priests and Paladins of the gods.

...

Zhao Xu continued to use his eye of concealment’s special ability to scan Reyan’s talent light pillar in front of him, but he realized that it was actually only as thick as a bucket.

Some of the more outstanding sixth-circle mages among the candidates were not much worse than this one.

“strange.” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but stand on his tiptoes and look Reyan up and down. He had even forgotten about his urgent need to go out and search for good and reliable wizard seeds.

“What’s wrong? You feel that I’m much more handsome now that I’m close to legend?”

Reyan couldn’t help but raise his deliberately curved eyebrows and said proudly, ” but I have to make it clear that I’m not interested in men.

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but glance at the girl who had been summoned to do the paperwork.

After transmigrating to Arthur, these outstanding girls had already experienced the viciousness of the world in the short period of time. They understood that unless there were major changes, Arthur was their future.

They had seen their friends and family turn against each other for some resources, so they cherished this precious opportunity to work in the core area of Yanan even more.

To put it in an exaggerated way, they could be regarded as the first batch of elders in the future.

These women, who had excellent school, work experience, and emotional intelligence, didn’t need to be reminded by their family or friends to grasp this rare opportunity.

They knew that Reyan, who had brought a large group of mages here, was definitely someone important and was out of their League, so they didn’t have the mood to hand him a small note.

...

However, Zhao Xu, who had suddenly appeared and started whispering into Reyan’s ears and putting his arms around Reyan’s shoulders, instantly became the new target of their curiosity.

There were even a few outstanding beauties who, after a “struggle,” got the opportunity to hand over the information, but they didn’t attract the attention of the two.

however, zhao xu was able to use the light pillar method to determine whether or not a pretty woman was talented. she was engrossed in writing a file, so he decided to get to know her better later and see if she could be included in the seed sequence.

At this moment, Zhao Xu came back to his senses. When he heard Reyan’s question, he smiled and said, ” I just think that your talent looks a little normal and weird. I almost started to doubt myself.

But Reyan, who had been all smiles and hadn’t been the least bit upset about the legendary barrier, suddenly straightened up like a carp and looked at Zhao Xu carefully. why do you think that my talent is so-so? ”

yes, I also find it strange. You said that you’ll break through to multi-circle very soon, but Archbishop soz is still stuck at the priest level. That’s why I always thought that you’re very talented, which is why it’s strange.

Reyan had also started to make it into the core ranks in the half year that Zhao Xu had been playing the game. He could be considered to have gained Antonya’s basic trust, and he was also one of the few people who knew a little more about what was going to happen and also knew what Zhao Xu was going to do next.

So, Zhao Xu didn’t hide anything from him and told him about the temporary effects of the eye of concealment that he had.

however, in the next moment, there was no rebuttal as expected.

Reyan lowered his eyebrows and said, ” sigh, I’m really stupid.

I used to be very talented in a small magic Academy. That was why I was recommended to the floating city to continue my studies. However, when I came here, I realized that even a noble young master who had been stuck as an apprentice for five or six years had talent that was not inferior to mine.”

so from then on, I have been working very hard. I spent the rest of the time of others on studying magic. That’s how I finally made the breakthrough to the Ninth Circle today.

Reyan couldn’t help but look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle as he spoke, revealing a weathered expression.

The young girl who had come over to serve fresh hot tea looked at this scene in a daze.

“Big brother Reyan, you’re boasting to those who don’t know the inside story.” Zhao Xu said helplessly. At this moment, he was flipping through a file on the mages in his hands. It had detailed information on the status of the mages who had been sent to Yanan this time, and it just so happened to include Reyan’s.

it’s recorded in your file that you broke through to the fifth-circle because you’ve met his fancy. Wizard Cassius, one of the seven Giants of the Association, has favored you and allowed you to read a mysterious magic note.

“Breaking through to six rings is a reward given to you by the Association after you were injured during a mission and vowed to serve Rose Cross for the rest of your life. You broke through to the seventh ring because teacher Antonya bought the treasures you got from your stall as a compensation.”

“Break through to the eight-ring Suan ni.”

“Enough!” Reyan quickly waved his hands. I really don’t know how they recorded it so clearly.

Basically, Reyan’s every breakthrough was made by stepping on dog shit luck.

Later on, his strength directly fed him to his position in Rose Cross, catching up from behind.

So even if Reyan wanted to brag about how hardworking he was in front of Zhao Xu, there was no way he could.

” by the way, why don’t you show me? i want to see how strong this thing is. ” Reyan suddenly asked curiously.

Zhao Xu didn’t hesitate for a moment before he handed it over.

With Reyan, a ninth-circle sorcerer who was close to legendary, there would not be much of a problem.

when reyan saw zhao xu give him the crystal, he was very excited as well. he quickly said, ” “I’ll first take a look at how ordinary they are, and then I’ll pass it to you.”

Reyan immediately took the crystal and glanced at the new mages who were busy in the distance, trying to judge the accuracy based on this.

After he got his answer, he immediately turned around and looked at Zhao Xu.

But within a second, he took the crystal off with a pale face and handed it over to Zhao Xu.

“Your acting was so realistic, but I’m not the right audience.” Zhao Xu said. He had already come to the conclusion that Reyan’s acting was just too exaggerated.

“No, you’ll never see what I’m seeing.”

Reyan still had lingering fear in his heart.

Zhao Xu couldn’t see his own talent light pillar, so he couldn’t help but be even more curious.

I saw it. On your body, there are four books spread out, and they burst out an infinitely thick pillar of light that pointed to the sky.

“And everyone else’s is straight, only yours is spiral. When you say that you will become a follower of the goddess and walk the path of the world’s top legendary mages, I will believe you.”

Zhao Xu lowered his head slightly.

He happened to have four notebooks with him, which he named “Midsummer’s spell notebook.”

Did this mean that these things were helping him develop his talent?

This was because they had once helped him level up. However, he didn’t see anything that helped Reyan level up on Reyan’s light pillar just now.

While hesitating, Reyan could not help but shake his head. it seems that I have to pay my respects to your dock. Who knows, I might be able to advance to legendary with you.

Zhao Xu almost laughed out loud when he heard this. you’re just trying anything you can when you’re in a hurry.

“I won’t say anymore, I have to go to work.” zhao xu then stood up and got ready to go and carry out antonya’s mission.

Suddenly, he hesitated and turned to look at Reyan. why can’t you break through to legendary? ”

if I had known, I would have been a legendary-mage a long time ago, ” Reyan said unhappily.

“What if I can make you a legendary-mage?” Zhao Xu said in a rather flighty tone.

“Then I’ll definitely be at your beck and call, even if I die for you.” Reyan said as he used an idiom he had just learned from these girls.

“You said it.” Zhao Xu suddenly laughed evilly.

He happened to know a place where he could upgrade without using his laptop.

Zhongxia team, legendary master +1.
