The Truth of Magic

Chapter 586

586 Chapter 586 Ernest!

As Zhao Xu spoke, Wuyue, who was still a little girl, clearly couldn’t understand what was happening.

she just looked at the big brother who had just made the evil dragon disappear in confusion.

After Zhao Xu laughed at his own naivety, he also realized what was going on.

when wuyue met ernest in his previous life, she had already become a shepherdess. it was obvious that the dragon’s attack had caused wuyue to lose her parents.

In the countryside, without her parents to rely on and her family’s property burned to ashes, it was not easy for Wuyue to grow up to look like a young girl by working as a Shepherd.

In reality, Wuyue hadn’t met Zhao Xu in history. There was a high chance that she had been knocked unconscious by a giant Dragon’s spit, but she had managed to survive.

Zhao Xu let out a sigh when he saw this.

Even Wuyue, who once stood at the peak of Arthur, had a fragile past that she did not want to recall.

But as Zhao Xu was thinking about this, he couldn’t help but start to suspect something else. Why was he seeing the original Wuyue in Antonya’s memory?

Where was Antonya in reality?

logically speaking, looking at wuyue’s appearance, she was not even six years old yet. it would probably take another seven or eight years for her to meet the rumored ernest.

That was also the critical time when the other party officially appeared in Arthur.

As a result, many ancient historians who studied mysterious ancient history and theology had raised a suspicion that Ernest was a powerful wizard from another “universe.”

That was why the other party passed on the massive amount of magical knowledge that couldn’t be completed by one person to Arthur.

Before Ernest, magic had already existed in Arthur, and knowledge was not a system at all.

That was why Emperor Ernest had never been the inventor of magic.

Strictly speaking, magic itself was an imitation of the ” abilities ” of powerful mythical creatures. This was also the reason why most of today’s magic incantations used dragon language syllables.

However, after Ernest appeared, he supplemented a large number of spells and even sorted out the eight major schools of magic.

The status of magic to him was like creating words for a language.

Zhao Xu instantly connected the dots to how Antonya had become a legendary wizard at the age of 20.

It was reasonable to say that she had become a legendary-mage in a short ten years after meeting Ernest, so it was very likely that he had not even been born yet.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu opened up his palm and clenched his fist in the air!

Then, arcane energy gushed out and surrounded Zhao Xu’s entire body like a fairy scattering flowers.

Level 4 spell ” creature positioning “!

An invisible aura of exploration spread out in all directions, and Zhao Xu slowly turned his body around, looking in all directions of Arthur.

As long as Antonya was within the spell’s range, he would be able to sense her the moment he faced her.

This casting material was a spell from the fur of a Hound. It could locate a certain group of creatures or even a specific creature, provided that the caster had observed the other party up close.

And Zhao Xu, who had spent at least a few months with Antonya day and night, didn’t have any problems with this at all.

However, he didn’t receive any feedback from the spell even after walking around.

Antonya was not in this world.

Or rather, she was currently protected by spells that blocked prophecies, such as ” avoid detection.

Even the ‘Transfiguration technique’ that could change one’s body shape or the ‘false appearance’ of the illusionary technique could deceive this spell.

Of course, flowing water would also block the effects of spells, so if Antonya were to swim in a stream right now, Zhao Xu wouldn’t be able to do anything.

But Zhao Xu had already realized his initial guess, so he didn’t really care. He stood up slightly and looked into the distance.

The surface of the lake was as clear as ice under the sun’s illumination. The harvested wheat fields were like quiet and beautiful field nursery glowed with a golden light. The mountains further away were shrouded in a mysterious gray-white fog that reached the sky.

The clouds in the sky intertwined and spread in all directions like a brocade belt.

All of this was in stark contrast to the burning town. Black smoke billowed out of the manors that were piled with Golden ears of wheat, and the air seemed to be wailing.

As the buildings collapsed, the earth also trembled. Eventually, the town’s suspension bridge began to collapse and turn into ruins.

Zhao Xu had witnessed the history of lady Wuyue’s family being destroyed.

So he could also wait for lady Wuyue to experience a turning point in her life.

He didn’t understand why he had entered this world, and it was very likely that Antonya hadn’t even been born yet.

But he didn’t care anymore.

Magic was like the wind. With him by his side, he was fearless in any world.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu bent over slightly and said to the little girl, ” Wuyue, I’m sorry that I have to go to the future to see what’s going on. I can’t stay here and watch you grow up.

Then, he gently moved the tiniest sun needle on his watch.

In an instant, everything around him seemed to be moving forward at a very fast speed. The fire in the ruins of the small town in front of him started to die out bit by bit in Zhao Xu’s field of vision. The remains disappeared, the wood was transported over, and the foundation, structure, and houses were slowly being built again.

It had been ten years, and in just one week, Zhao Xu had witnessed the reconstruction of this town that had just been destroyed in history.

Throughout the process, he had observed that Wuyue’s family’s land was sold at a low price due to the betrayal of her servant. In the end, she was taken in by a childless relative who lived outside the town.

However, when she successfully gave birth to the child a few years later, Wuyue’s food level in the family decreased day by day. From the rice porridge at the beginning to the black hard bread later on, she did not receive a new piece of clothing every year.

her job of helping her adoptive mother wash and knit clothes for the big families in the town had also become to herd sheep for the rancher.

In a few years, Wuyue would be promised to be the wife of a forty-year-old milking worker at the ranch, just because she had given Wuyue’s adoptive parents a few gold coins as a betrothal gift.

And Zhao Xu had also become hard-hearted this time as he watched everything that was happening.

Afraid of missing out on Ernest’s arrival, he didn’t even dare to use his watch to skip the time. He just watched silently in the town like a stone tablet.

...

During this period of time, Zhao Xu lived on a Hill that was overgrown with grass nearby, and his eagle’s eye spell was basically cast 24 hours a day on the area where the sheep were herded in may, just like a closed circuit television.

Zhao Xu quietly made a simple wooden house on top of a nearby oak tree. He usually lay on a ” hammock ” on the tree’s branches. As he thought about the mysteries of his spells, he observed his surroundings.

By touching this tree, Zhao Xu could use the level 3 Druid divine spell ” eye of the forest ” to see the surroundings of any oak tree at an infinite distance.

no matter how far this distance was, zhao xu felt as if he was right next to the plant that he had chosen to see.

This kind of transformation spell was also more secure and wouldn’t disturb all kinds of detection-shielding spells.

But at this moment, Wuyue wasn’t protected by any spells, so when Zhao Xu observed her, he used detect, a level 4 wizard arcane spell, directly.

In fact, Zhao Xu had used it too many times, so he was too lazy to use his class’s supernatural ability to save on casting materials.

This was because he had placed a bag of Falcon’s eyes under his feet. At the same time, he had scattered nitric acid, copper powder, and purple powder inside and mixed them together.

At the same time, there was a silver mirror that was more than a meter tall in Zhao Xu’s treehouse. Once the spell was completed, the mirror would show the details of the area within three meters of Wuyue that he had chosen to observe.

If a priest were to cast this spell, the audience would have to watch through a silver basin filled with holy water that cost at least 100 gold coins. As for the Druids, they used the natural pool to watch.

The detection spell could see and hear the creature he specified, but only if the target’s will immunity failed would the spell succeed.

...

the good thing was that before wuyue met ernest, she had no chance of successfully saving herself from zhao xu’s attacks.

This was especially so because Zhao Xu’s level of understanding of the target and whether or not he had any of the target’s items would all affect the difficulty of the spell.

If he knew nothing about it, the difficulty of his immunity would definitely be reduced by 10 levels.

Second-hand information that he had heard of the other party would reduce his level by 5, but direct information that he had seen before would not affect him. as for the familiar level, it was five levels higher in difficulty.

Some images could even be two levels higher, while items or clothes could be four levels higher, and body parts like hair and nails could be ten levels higher.

That was why the spellcasters of Arthur were very careful about the traces and remnants they left behind. If they were not careful and were collected, they would be under the surveillance of others, and they might even become the catalyst for other spells.

Zhao Xu, who was almost numb, was also doing his usual routine of using a silver mirror to observe Wuyue as she herded the sheep.

He had also spread out his Level 4 Mystic Eye spell to do directional patrols.

As for the areas that Wuyue rarely visited, he had also cast more than 30 semi-real magic balls with the 5th-circle magic Eye of peeking.

These small balls followed his instructions and patrolled. Once they encountered a designated situation, they would immediately return and inform him.

However, today seemed to be a peaceful day as usual. Wuyue drove the sheep to the hill slope in the North early in the morning and repeated the work day after day in boredom.

Wuyue, who was already more than ten years old, had already grown up. She was used to the cold world and knew that beauty was a disaster for her, so she did not wash up much on a daily basis. She always dressed up in a dusty and dirty appearance, but it made her even more despised.

At this moment, Wuyue was herding sheep again, and Zhao Xu was also watching her do the same.

In fact, when the sun set and the sheep were chased back to their pen in may, Zhao Xu would have to work until the next morning.

On one hand, this long and boring wait was tormenting Zhao Xu’s heart.

on the other hand, he had a vague feeling that it was not long before ernest’s arrival in arthur, so he could not miss any shots of him every month.

Suddenly, the silver mirror that was originally replaying yesterday’s scene flashed with a white light.

Zhao Xu felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but start crying.

Blind?

This thought immediately flashed through Zhao Xu’s mind. Even though he couldn’t imagine what kind of shock it would be to be able to blind himself through a mirror, it didn’t stop him from immediately trying to save himself.

“Remove blindness!”

Most of the spells that could remove negative buffs were quietly in the list of Level 3 divine spells.

Therefore, once a priest reached the third circle, they could become an excellent doctor. They could cure all diseases by removing diseases.

The instantly gentle recovery energy ball started to seep into his eyes through Zhao Xu’s ” touch “, and the piercing pain started to slowly disappear.

the effect of remove blindness and remove deafness corresponded to each other. it couldn’t regenerate and restore the blind, but it could remove the damaged parts.

Zhao Xu’s vision instantly came back to him, and the screens around him re-appeared in his eyes, allowing him to see everything around him clearly.

The originally clear mirror now had snowflake-like cracks, and a ” Zila Zila ” sound was heard.

Wuyue’s figure in the mirror also shattered into countless tiny pieces.

“boom boom boom!”

The sound of thunder suddenly rang out like a bolt from the blue. It was as if it was vibrating right next to one’s eardrums, and it almost made Zhao Xu cast another spell to remove his hearing.

What had happened?

A deity descending to the mortal world?

Zhao Xu kept on shouting in his heart.

Because when he looked up, the entire sky had turned dark, as if the dusk had been skipped.

At the same time, the wind around him kept howling, desperately hitting the ground, causing him to sway a little from the treetop. The illusion that originally covered the existence of the small house had also been stopped.

Suddenly, mysterious murmurs came from all around. They sounded like they were coming from an unknown valley, and they were one with the endless thunder in the sky.

In these Hills, in this land that had already been enveloped by the darkness of the night, there were ripples.

“Teleportation!”

No matter how cautious Zhao Xu was, he couldn’t hold back the curiosity and confusion in his heart. He immediately cast a teleportation spell and went straight to the last place he knew where Wuyue was.

In less than a second, the discomfort he felt after the teleportation energy dissipated and the familiar feeling of controlling his body slowly crept back into Zhao Xu’s body.

zhao xu appeared behind wuyue, on the hill where she was grazing.

The sheep in the surroundings had already been disturbed by the roar earlier, and all of them knelt on the ground, unable to move.

What was even more exaggerated was that Wuyue, who had maintained a noble and clear heart despite living in a poor and rough place, was now prostrating on the ground.

She seemed to be kissing the earth.

However, everyone around her understood that she was kneeling in front of the king who had come to this world.

Zhao Xu also raised his head slightly and gathered up all the courage in his heart. He tried to look at this man who had already arrived in Arthur and was destined to leave more than one-fifth of the history of Arthur’s magic behind.

Ernest.
