The Truth of Magic - Chapter 649
Chapter 649
649 Dead Magic District
When she heard what Zhao Xu said, Antonya surprisingly didn’t look shocked at all. In fact, her pale face started to regain some color.
it seems that your connection with the abyss is becoming more and more obvious. She evaluated.
“Contact?”
To be honest, Zhao Xu hadn’t even been to the abyss before. In fact, he only managed to get into the chaos Faction after that.
“In any case, you better remember the last paragraph of the mysterious incantation that corresponds to each layer of the abyss. At that time, my face was pale and I vomited several times. Teacher forced me to memorize those incantations.”
As she spoke, Antonya’s tone became more and more serious. when necessary, these incantations can create miracles. Sometimes, whether or not you can survive depends on them.
“A miracle?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but raise his head and look at Antonya in confusion. even you, mentor? ”
“Zhongxia.”
Antonya took a step closer to Zhao Xu at this moment, and she was only a few punches away from him. I feel like you’re getting more and more flirtatious.
Then, she glared at Zhao Xu and said angrily, ” I can tell you that the endless abyss, the Nine Hells, and the outer realms are the three most dangerous outer realms among all the other realms.
if you think that you’ll never fall into a desperate situation again because of ‘Iron Strength’, then I’d advise you to stay in Arthur’s main material plane and train until you reach the legendary level.
When he heard the other party’s words, Zhao Xu, who originally thought that he had made up for his last shortcoming, couldn’t help but stand up straight and say, ” please give me some guidance, mentor.
This kind of respect made Antonya raise her head in satisfaction, as if she had just received a great deal of satisfaction.
“First of all, are you aware of the weakness of your iron core strength?”
Zhao Xu was no longer a clueless person. Ever since he transmigrated, he had been using his potential points to forcefully recover his spell slots, and he hadn’t even slept for more than three hours a day.
Now that he had been enlightened, he was even more shocked. He said, ” as a wizard who practices both divine and arcane, what I’m most afraid of is … A situation where I can’t cast spells in the corresponding area and iron Heart strength is used to counter the ‘anti-magic field’.
“There’s another type-the death magic zone. But ever since the third generation goddess of magic abandoned the magic net and sent it back to the core of the plane, there have been no more Dead Magic zones, right?”
In the era of the second goddess of magic, there were still ” Dead Magic zones ” in Arthur, and these zones could be said to be forbidden to every spellcaster. That was also the era when the battle-type professions still had their last trace of dignity.
Zhao Xu’s tone softened as he spoke. Arthur didn’t have a Dead Magic zone, but that didn’t mean that other dimensions didn’t.
Thus, even for a great mage, dimensional travel was an extremely dangerous thing.
There was no magic zone at all. Although Iron Heart strength could suppress all debuffs, it could not reverse reality and turn it into a normal magic zone.
Metalheart was like a gas mask that allowed Zhao Xu to breathe normally in areas with poisonous gas. But if he really entered a vacuum, then no matter how strong the gas mask was, it wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Unless he brought his own oxygen tank.
At this moment, Antonya took out a mysterious device from her backpack.
It looked like a brass ball with a diameter of 10 centimeters. It was installed on a round brass box with a diameter of no more than 20 centimeters, and each side was engraved with a pattern.
As Antonya pulled the ball up, the device suddenly opened up and revealed the contents inside, including a series of crystal lenses and different operating handles and levers.
this thing is called a ‘plane sextant’. It can help us analyze the specific characteristics of the plane and assist us in making judgments.
try operating it and analyze the characteristics of the Prime Material Plane.
As Antonya handed it over to him, Zhao Xu placed it on the stone table in the tower and started studying the pattern on the top. The outermost ring had a broken pattern, and on one side was a curved triangular saw. On the other side, there were long black and white squares of different sizes. There were also more than ten complicated and mysterious patterns in the gaps.
The inner layer was a big triangle, connected to a circle, and then a circle connected to a triangle. The lines were all jagged, and at the same time, they were filled with different symbols.
He searched through his plane knowledge, combined it with his own intelligence, and then used an appraisal spell on it. With this double insurance, Zhao Xu had completely mastered how to use this plane sextant and the characteristics it could identify.
1. Gravity: whether it is normal, high gravity, low gravity, objective gravity, subjective gravity, and even different gravity.
[ 2. Time: is the flow of time normal? fast, slow, irregular, or even without flow. ]
[ 3. Region: planes are infinite, limited, or independent. ]
4. Form: whether the basic natural form of the plane can be changed or not is divided into eternal unchanging, highly changeable, magic changeable, divine power changeable, and autonomous change.
[ 5. element: whether to be dominated by qi, earth, fire, water, or even positive and negative energy. ]
[ 6. Camp: whether or not they favor a specific camp, and whether or not they favor a gentle or strong camp. ]
[ 7. Magic: death magic (non-existent), wild magic (effects are unpredictable), obstruction magic (more difficult to cast), strengthening magic (casting has Supreme magic effects), or limited magic (only certain schools, sub-schools, descriptions, or levels of magic are effective) ]
At the same time, the sextant could also reveal the location and information of the teleport portal within a 20-meter radius.
Moreover, it could also assist the knowledge of the plane in determining the current state of the plane.
Thinking about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but shake his head. If he had this thing back in the mysterious cave, things would have been a lot easier for him.
“I’ll give you this plane sextant.” Antonya said after she saw that Zhao Xu had already taken control of the magic Device.
Zhao Xu also nodded.
The key to this Wondrous Item worth 54000 gold coins was that it was able to search for comprehensive information. At the same time, it also made him realize the seriousness of plane travel.
Even though she could also use the fifth-circle spell, Interworld teleportation, to reach the top of the abyss, Antonya didn’t do that. Instead, she made ample preparations with him first.
Just judging the characteristics of the plane required the use of a rare item worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
Planning before taking action was never an empty phrase for mages. Even ordinary mages who couldn’t cast spells on their own had to prepare targeted spells in advance and purchase enough scrolls to deal with them.
after seeing the different magical areas, you should understand the severity of the problem. Antonya said.
Zhao Xu nodded his head sincerely.
The other world was not as simple as he had thought.
Other than the non-mana zones, there were also wild mana zones, obstruction mana zones, enhanced mana zones, and limited mana zones. The latter few were even available in Arthur.
“Zhongxia, do you still remember your initial goal?” Antonya asked.
Zhao Xu seemed to have realized something and replied, ” become Arthur’s sharpest longsword. Wherever the sword goes, there is nothing it can’t cut.
“What do you have to do to achieve this?”
“To make up for all my shortcomings.”
Zhao Xu said as he thought about it.
mages can’t cast divine spells, so my second path of double elite is to be an archivist.
it’s expensive for Wizards to learn to copy spells, so I entered the final scroll and mastered all the spells.
Wizards need to prepare fixed spells, so I’ve learned a lot of spellcaster and bizarre forethought abilities.
“Wizards have a limited number of spell slots each day, so I’ve mastered unbridled heroism and potential points, so I can continue to fight for as long as I want.”
a wizard’s spell has a limited duration, so I’m going to learn the spell Endurance Specialty.
mages have a limit on the number of bracelets they can use for their Supreme magic abilities, so I advanced to a Supreme magic sculptor.
the power of a wizard’s spells is limited, so I’m learning the specialties of spell maximize and spell twins.
mage spells require spell resistance and some of the materials are expensive, so I advanced to become a Rune Guardian.
“mages will be restricted by the anti-magic field, so i’m learning the iron heart school’s martial art, iron heart strength.”
What was left was the enlightened spellcaster, the priest domain, and the red jade guard that would make up for the rest of the damage. Zhao Xu was trying to make up for the shortcomings of the wizard class, which was the top class in the game.
This was also the reason why his combat power was comparable to that of a legendary despite being only Level-10. He could even deal thousands of damage with a suitable magic weapon.
“Do you understand now?” Antonya gave a knowing smile.
Zhao Xu laughed as if he had understood something. so before we go to the abyss, we have to make up for this weakness of the magic area? ”
“How many equipment slots are you lacking now?” Antonya asked in return.
“I’m only missing the wrist and the outer body.”
There were three main equipment slots in the magical item category.
The shoulder area was specifically used for cloaks and capes, and Zhao Xu was wearing the star Cloak.
The inner body was specifically used for vests, gowns, or shirts, and Zhao Xu’s was a ” great sage Daoist robe.
The outer body was used for armor and robes.
because armors had a high failure rate for arcane spells, zhao xu had never thought about it before.
He was still wearing a standard robe with Mystra’s Mark on it, mainly because the robe was not that outstanding.
even if the inner part of the shirt was something like the great sage robe, there was a high chance that it would be left empty.
Now that he had grown up, the great sage robe’s effect on him was no longer as obvious.
But what he was wearing was an identity, so Zhao Xu didn’t consider anything else.
“So, this one is for you.”
As she spoke, Antonya handed over a robe that had Antonya’s personal insignia on it.
it’s not a big problem to turn this robe into a magic item, but the sewing itself gave me a headache. Thanks to it, my tailoring skill is about to level up.
When Zhao Xu took it over, he realized that the robe that felt like silk was exquisitely made, and the buttons on the sides were just as good as the luxurious clothes on earth.
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but glance at her ten fingers. He realized that there wasn’t even an impression of a thimitar on them, let alone a wound.
To be honest, Antonya’s tailoring skill probably wasn’t even at Level 3 yet, but if she was able to make something that was above level 40, then it was obvious that she had to rely on her spells to reach level 37.
“The name of this robe is the firm spellcasting set. It has a variety of styles, usually depending on the creator’s race and the plane’s characteristics. I’ve seen all kinds of clothes, from snow-white Heaven-realm long-distance running to mud-colored clothes.”
as for its greatest effect, it allows you to cast spells without regard for the magic characteristics of this realm. Other than the non-magic regions, you can cast spells in wild, anti-magic, and limited magic regions. Of course, you can use it if you encounter an advantageous area with strengthened magic.
As she spoke, Antonya raised her head proudly.
“Thank you, teacher.”
zhao xu touched the robe in his hand and cherished it a lot. at the same time, he took off his star cloak, and the burgundy sage robe that had been exposed was immediately covered by this new robe.
Even though it was only a magic item that cost 25000 gold coins and was made with a limited number of prayers or miracle spells as its core, it still perfectly solved most of the problems that Zhao Xu was currently facing with regards to the magic characteristics of this dimension.
After he was fully dressed, Zhao Xu’s aura became even more imposing.
“Very good,” he said. Antonya nodded her head in satisfaction.
in that case, there’s only one last problem left-the dead Magic area. We have to solve it.
when he heard this, zhao xu’s heart started to beat faster.
After making up for this shortcoming, he would have no restraints in terms of spellcasting.
With a spell in his hand, he would be able to grasp the truth of Arthur. To him, it was no longer an illusion.
“Do You Know the Way?” Antonya asked in return.
Zhao Xu was a little surprised by this, but he still replied, ” “i’ve heard of a method.”
“What?”
“I think it’s called the devotee specialty.”
“That’s right.” antonya agreed. ” a devotee’s specialty can only be mastered by a devotee after he or she has worked hard to achieve the goal of their god. this specialty usually allows the devotee to obtain additional spells and abilities, such as giving a certain amount of buffs and allowing a certain number of spells to be added to the priest’s list. ”
“so this is also a way to expand our influence.”
because a believer’s specialty requires a deep connection with the God they believe in, everyone can only have one believer’s specialty.
As she said this, Antonya looked at Zhao Xu’s face, which was already quite handsome and full of heroic spirit, with interest. then do you know what the goddess of magic sisylvana’s devotee specialty is? ”
zhao xu looked at antonya’s slightly alluring gaze and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. he replied, ” I know. If you master this specialty, it means that you have been accepted and know the greatest secret of the goddess ‘church.
even in a death magic area or an anti-magic field, as long as you successfully pass the spellcaster level check, you can successfully cast a spell.
But Zhao Xu immediately frowned. it’s just that apart from the requirement of believing in the goddess, I also need to be a level 3 cleric.
Right now, Zhao Xu was only a level 1 cleric on the divine arts route. It was already extremely difficult for him to draw Nine Swords, let alone draw another level 2 to continue increasing his cleric level.
This was also the reason why he hadn’t thought much about this ability before. Generally speaking, he would only consider increasing his priest level by two after he reached the legendary level.
“No, the chosen one of the goddess does not need to be a level 3 priest.”
