The Truth of Magic

133 Chapter 132-one arrow

zhao xu was now walking down a flat corridor, and it was only then that he realized that he could reach every floor directly from here.

Zhao Xu laughed as he looked at the alchemy elevator that led to the 10th floor of the legendary stage. He would come here one day, but not now.

He turned around and pushed open the door to the first floor. It was the first time the door was opened after years of maintenance.

when zhao xu entered the testing area on the first floor, he realized that the entire first floor was divided into many areas, and they were all set up according to the mainstream spells that wizards currently used.

for example, if one wanted to practice acid sputtering and freezing ray, there was a long-range target room for practice. the door was specially engraved with the key points of various spells.

There were also infinite secret rooms with many hidden doors for practicing the ‘detect door’ spell.

There was a landing room with a high platform and a safety cushion below it for practicing the “feather drop “.

compared to that night when a large group of novice mages threw out spells and identified spells in the underground square in a mess, it was indeed much more orderly.

as zhao xu walked over, he couldn’t help but nod his head. he was amazed that the floating city was indeed willing to spend a lot of money on this.

But Zhao Xu’s destination for this trip was indeed the battle target room.

the archivist had mastered all the divine spells of the four major professions of priest, druid, ranger, and paladin.

The priest’s divine arts could strengthen the abilities of his teammates with various buffs.

Even when a priest decided to fight on their own, as long as they gave themselves a buff, they would be able to fight better than Warriors.

the reputation of the war priest had always intimidated the warriors of arthur.

as for the fact that war priests were rare, it wasn’t that they were useless, but that the healing of priests was more meaningful.

forest rangers and paladins had many divine spells that could strengthen themselves to improve their melee and melee combat abilities.

this was also why antonya had told him that the only person who could deal more damage in close combat than a priest was an archivist.

it was not without reason that the archivers were able to survive in that terrifying and strange world.

zhao xu had specially gone through today’s training. in addition to practicing the scroll divine art, he also wanted to test out his damage output in close-range and long-range combat after getting the buff.

when faced with creatures with high magic resistance, even if mages had corresponding spells to deal with them, it would still be a headache.

so zhao xu needed to practice his physical damage output. even if he didn’t need to use it, he still had to practice.

when zhao xu entered a battle room, there were already quite a few new wizards there. they were all looking carefully at the underground area that was four to five meters deep. there were a few skeleton warriors wandering around aimlessly.

zhao xu had a rough idea of what was going on after he looked at the description on the wall.

that day, antonya had used the spell to summon undead creatures, and the skeleton that she had summoned had followed the rules of the spell.

as this place was specially set up, most of these skeleton warriors had been specially modified and were more powerful by relying on the negative energy field underground.

Their health points were much higher than ordinary skeletons.

The skeletons that were glowing red in the field were the lowest level skeletons with only 10HP.

The ones that emitted blue light were of a higher grade, with at least 20HP.

HP was a quantifiable data that constantly affected the world of Arthur. It was only after the appearance of the character summon card system that everyone could accept this concept.

Light crossbows were placed on the fenced tables in the field, and there were many boxes of crossbow arrows next to them. These were for the novice mages to train their shooting abilities.

zhao xu nodded his head slightly and picked up one of the light crossbows. he immediately aimed it at one of the red skeleton warriors in the field.

After being pulled by the trigger, the spring directly hit the bolt that had been fastened. The arrow rotated in a spiral arc and shot straight at the nearest Skeleton Warrior.

“bang!” There was a muffled sound as Zhao Xu’s arrow was noticed by the skeleton that was trying to ambush him. The skeleton used its large iron shield to block Zhao Xu’s attack.

” some of these skeletons have a tilted defense. even if your sneak attack is successful, the skeletal defense on the other side may bounce off your attack, let alone the iron shield. ”

A female wizard came over and explained to Zhao Xu.

The floating city usually had a high demand for manpower, and most of the guides in these combat strength testing centers needed to be people with a certain amount of magic experience.

as such, after the floating city began recruiting players, the player qiqi decisively applied to take up this job.

according to her estimation, after a few more days of work, she would be able to save enough contribution points to copy another level 1 spell.

Zhao Xu had cast protection from evil on himself before, so he naturally knew what the deflection effect was for. This ability was equivalent to a deflection force appearing all over the body, which could block attacks.

Once a mage stacked their own defense debuffs to a high level, they would find that no matter how they shot, the arrows would be pulled away by a huge gravitational force as soon as they got close to the opponent.

“Junior, if you haven’t learned the first-level spell ‘counter the enemy’s advance’, then it’s basically impossible for you to shoot through the defense of these skeletons.” qiqi explained to zhao xu, and she couldn’t help but look at him with a look of pity.

The style of the players on earth was obviously outstanding. She recognized the other party at a glance, but she was acting as a guide and could not say anything on the spot. She could only follow the floating city’s requirements.

There was also a player who had to come to this training room because the training rooms corresponding to the spell memorization were too busy. However, he found that he could not shoot through these enhanced skeleton warriors no matter what and could only return in disappointment.

“oh, it’s okay. i’ll just try.” zhao xu continued to hold his crossbow.

in fact, it didn’t matter if he didn’t prepare this spell. he had the bizarre foresight ability anyway, so he could use the three empty spell slots in the wizard class.

at this moment, the guide, qi qi, saw that zhao xu didn’t have anything to say, so she turned around and started to guide the other new wizards. she also explained to them the strong and weak points of the skeleton warriors.

Zhao Xu was standing in a shadowy corner. He went through the list of spells in his mind and then immediately cast the Ain stone in his pocket.

that way, the spells cast by a level 1 archivist could have the effects of a level 2 spellcaster.

zhao xu looked at the skeleton warriors in the field and started chanting the divine spell, holy sacrifice, that was unique to level 1 paladins.

Paladins had to be Level 4 to be able to cast level 1 spells. If their perception was not enough and they did not have extra spell slots, they had to wait until Level 6 to get their first level 1 spell slot.

Therefore, these Paladins had to be Level 4 to Level 6 to be able to cast Level 1 divine spells. The power itself was extraordinary, far beyond the level 1 spells of ordinary mages and priests.

[ holy sacrifice ] was a spell that traded health for damage.

by using up 10 of his own health points, zhao xu would be able to add a powerful attack to each of his attacks for the next two rounds, which would deal up to 5d6 (5-30) damage.

At this time, the only 1d8 (1-8) damage from the crossbow was like an additional bonus.

Then, Zhao Xu cast the ” counter the enemy’s advance ” spell on himself. This spell gave him a very strong sense of insight, and he could find the weakness of his opponent and then break through their defense.

After he cast two spells on himself, Zhao Xu raised the light crossbow in his hand again.

At this moment, Qiqi had just finished explaining to the others and was about to walk over to explain to Zhao Xu how to use the light crossbow.

she was one of the few players on earth who didn’t need much training with a light crossbow, which was why she was arranged to be in this small room.

But when she noticed that the arrows in Zhao Xu’s hands were all aimed at the skeleton that was glowing in blue light and had 20HP, she couldn’t help but laugh.

this junior was really too cute. he was actually afraid of killing a skeleton in one blow.

the reason why the skeletons were placed below was because there was a negative energy field under their feet. the ability that could hurt ordinary people when they got close to it was a healing ability for the skeletons.

normally, the damage from the crossbow bolts would not be enough to kill the skeletons. after a round of shooting, the skeletons would immediately recover their health and be as good as new.

A few indignant novice mages had used magic bullets to attack these skeletons, but they all returned in defeat because the damage was not enough.

Unless they could kill it in one round, the next round, the opponent would only see a Skeleton Warrior that had recovered to its original state.

qiqi quickly walked forward. she wanted to tell zhao xu that he didn’t have to go out of his way to attack the skeletons that had more health points and were glowing with blue light.

those were actually specially set up for everyone to practice focusing their fire.

But at this moment, the arrow in Zhao Xu’s hand had already been fired.

qiqi’s attention also followed the crossbow arrow. she just saw the arrow brush past the edge of the iron shield and pierce through the head of the skeleton warrior at a strange angle.

Then, the entire skeleton shook on the spot.

qiqi was about to turn around to look at the junior’s stunned expression, but she was the first to be stunned.

The skeleton that was glowing with blue light was turned into dust after being hit by the arrow.

After a while, Qiqi recovered.

Her heart was filled with questions about how this was possible!

That was a full 20 hp. If a level 2 warrior’s physique was not enough, they might not even have 20 hp.

with that amount of hp, he had been killed by a level 1 mage with a simple crossbow bolt.

Who would believe it?

a level 1 wizard with this ability was the current player killer, the kind that could kill whoever he saw.

Qiqi blinked her eyes, thinking that she was in a daze. However, the number would not lie. She was not wrong.

the skeleton had indeed disappeared.

qiqi immediately turned around to ask that junior how he did it.

However, there was no one in the dark corner, only a light crossbow that was still warm on the table.

At this moment, Qiqi could not help but look at her work manual in distress.

she had to fill in the reason and describe the reason why the skeleton was killed.

—————————————————————————————————

Floating city, the highest Hall.

as the core of the floating city, it was constantly observing the changes in the entire floating city.

every monitoring personnel who were looking at the projection panel in front of them had an ‘alchemy communication device’ in front of them. only the communication device in their place could connect to all directions in the floating city.

“what’s going on? why was there such a huge energy fluctuation coming from the floating city? i don’t see any large-scale experiment report applications today.” one of the surveillance personnel complained.

“hurry up and locate him.” the person-in-charge sitting at the back said.

” i’ve confirmed it. it’s the combat strength testing hall. ”

“call and ask.”

The person-in-charge ordered as he sipped his black tea.

Compared to the use of various communication spells such as short messages, these alchemy voice transmitters were very efficient, even though they cost a lot of money and maintenance. At least, they could keep communication with ordinary people who could not use magic.

At this moment, one of the monitoring staff picked up a voice transmission and dialed the combat strength testing hall.

“what? activating the 13th floor at the last minute? Who allowed you to do this? have you guys submitted your application?” the monitoring staff immediately asked.

After a short while, his expression changed and he politely said, ” ” alright, sure. i’ll pass the message on for you. if you need any cooperation, please contact me directly. i’ll contact the energy control room to increase the energy transmission rate of the combat strength testing hall. ”

at this time, the person in charge had already heard the whole story from a few words. he put down the teacup in his hand and asked, ” “Which Lord has gone?”

only the seven powerhouses could make him address them as daren.

“it’s miss antonya.” the monitoring staff lowered his head and replied.

after hearing the name, the person in charge couldn’t help but look serious.

Antonya had never needed to go to a combat strength testing hall, because the facilities there were already more advanced.

Could it be that she was related to that old man, li Stan?

however, when he looked back on liestein’s life, he could not find any connection with the ittell family.

If there really was, he wouldn’t be on this issue’s elimination list.

Thinking of this, he decided that he still had to inform his in-laws, and for the time being, he couldn’t easily touch li Stan’s position.

—————————————–

In the combat strength testing hall.

After putting down the microphone in his hand, li Stan continued to direct the ninth-circle sorcerer to operate the instrument and adjust the output power of the equipment room to the maximum.

His angry shout just now was the first time in his life that he had acted so unscrupulously in front of the highest Hall of the core department of the floating-Space City.

This made all the subordinates present who knew the source of the voice transmission tube’s interrogation tremble in fear.

The only thing that troubled him was ...

Why wasn’t miss Antonya here yet?
