The Truth of Magic

147 /powerful specialty

As Antonya carried Zhao Xu back to the floating city of Mystra, he still couldn’t forget about the inheritance of the ITRE dynasty.

Zhao Xu also cast the level 1 spell, magic aura, to cover up the aura on his cloak of stars.

when it wasn’t being worn, the starry cloak just looked like a normal cloak, and it fit zhao xu’s requirements better.

Therefore, he used the spell “magic aura” to cover up the magic aura that magic items naturally emitted.

in this way, no one could tell that the cloak of stars was a magic item with detection magic.

After Zhao Xu put on the cloak, the light that shone like a starry sky was also covered up. Unless someone used an appraisal spell or something similar, no one would be able to tell that Zhao Xu was wearing an expensive magic item.

And the “magic aura” was a spell that determined the level of the caster by the day, so when Zhao Xu used it with his ain stone, he could cast it once for four days.

after zhao xu got to the seventh floor of the floating city, antonya gave him an awakening ceremony for his magic pet.

the process was similar to the previous awakening rituals such as obtaining the dragon language and enlightened spellcaster.

But after Antonya had given him the awakening, he had received a notification to attend an emergency meeting with the higher-ups of floating city, leaving Zhao Xu to read through the item familiar manual and study it by himself.

and as a companion that would probably be with him for the rest of his life, zhao xu carefully read through the explanation and thought about the details.

after zhao xu chose the enlightened spellcaster ability, he went to the forum to look up the abilities of his companions.

he had read many books about magic pets, and the one that was mentioned the most was that magic pets and mages were considered one.

mages could also benefit from the magic pet they chose. for example, mages who chose a toad magic pet could increase their hp by an additional 3 points, which was even comparable to a “robust” specialty in the early stages.

Mages who chose the lizard pet would gain A +3 upgrade in climbing.

of course, many players liked to choose a crow so that the other party could talk to them.

More importantly, as long as a magical pet was by their side, the mage could enjoy the +2 bonus of the ‘vigilance’ specialty, which was ‘detect and listen’.

In fact, if he chose the Falcon pet, he could even increase his [detect and listen] skill by 3 points in a bright environment, and with the addition of the vigilance specialty, it would be an increase of 5 points.

Level 1 rogues and forest rangers at the beginning were only Level 4 after maxing out their Scout and listen skills.

This was why Zhao Xu suspected that Wang Ningwei and asvich had given up on their companions. If they had brought out their companions, they could have continued to increase the effectiveness of the surveillance network.

this way, their scouting and listening abilities would probably be the best among the players.

this was also the scary thing about mages. with the support of spells, their skill effects were even better than rogues who were born with 8 skill points.

It should be known that at least half of the Rogues ‘meals were earned by relying on skills.

However, only a handful of Wizards like Zhao Xu, who had learned almost all of the level 1 spells, could be as powerful as this.

zhao xu carefully felt the star cloak that he was wearing. after going through the ritual, he really did feel as if he had become one with the other person.

zhao xu also started following the instructions and started to control the abilities of his companions.

compared to ordinary companions, item companions were more powerful in their ability to give feedback.

It was equivalent to a hen that would lay eggs for its master, not a four-legged metal-swallowing beast.

After Zhao Xu reached Level 3, he received 4 skill points (3 intelligence and 1 human reward). As for the rest of the skill points, he would only get them after he officially leveled up his profession.

He first tried to control the 3 skill points in his mind and injected them into the starry cloak.

the star cloak started to react. it kept separating zhao xu’s skill points and trying to combine them with the rest of its body.

After about half an hour, Zhao Xu finally noticed that there were some changes to his character stats.

His remaining available skill point was now 1.

however, there was an additional line below: [item companion skill points: 4]

when zhao xu saw this, he let out a soft sigh of relief. he had finally succeeded.

After an item-type familiar digested a skill point, it could increase the skill point by one-third and then feed it back to its master.

as long as zhao xu took the risk and put all his skill points into it, he would have one-third more skill points in the future than anyone else with the same amount of skill points.

this was quite a big improvement for the wizard class, which was already in a difficult situation with skill points.

Mages only had 2 class skill points for every level. If it wasn’t for their intelligence, they wouldn’t even have the skill points to throw in knowledge. spellcasters like the archivist would have at least 4 skill points per level.

the only problem was that these four skill points were attached to the cloak. if zhao xu was separated from the cloak for too long or if the cloak was damaged, he would be in a very passive position.

However, it was just a passive move.

other people might lose the skill points they invested.

zhao xu could ask antonya to cast a wish spell on him to recover.

this was also the reason why antonya had arranged for him to have an item or a companion.

After seeing that he had four skill points, Zhao Xu wasn’t in a hurry to distribute them. His ” hand work ” skill was like a black hole that sucked up skill points, so he could use up as many as he had.

It was just that for the time being, he didn’t have the time to play with hidden coins or training with the flower-turning rope. In his previous life, he had seen a rogue who could turn a sharp double-sided blade around on four fingers with just a few levels of hand Kung Fu skills.

next, zhao xu focused his attention on the second ability of his item familiar-vitality return.

Zhao Xu did think about it before he started to get into work.

there had always been a lot of talk about the situation in which experience points existed.

The character stats page only showed them various skill levels, health points, and defense levels.

there was no progress bar for experience points.

that was why no one knew when they would be able to level up.

If one could see the notification of mathematics experience +1 behind their back when they were learning, many people would study hard.

This was because learning had become something that could be seen immediately, just like leveling up and fighting monsters in games.

On the other hand, an item-type familiar could be used to invest experience points in items, and in turn, provide more experience points in return.

However, this was a little useless for Zhao Xu, who leveled up very quickly and for some unknown reason.

but no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. zhao xu thought about it for a while and decided to follow the manual and start meditating.

He slowly imagined that he was going to inject his body’s vitality into the cloak.

in the originally quiet corner of the room, the three stoves burning with calming incense suddenly trembled, and the smoke was lingering.

Zhao Xu’s entire body started to emit rays of light, and they slowly entered the cloak as if he was full of life.

After ten minutes, Zhao Xu suddenly woke up.

He noticed that his body seemed to have become a lot weaker. The level 3 and health points on his character stats panel had started to shake.

“I won’t lose a level, right?”

Zhao Xu suddenly remembered his friend who had been kissed by a succubus. because the other party couldn’t break free from the succubus’s kiss, behind every sweet price, his level would be reduced by one.

just as zhao xu felt that his level was about to drop, a warm current suddenly came from the cloak and flowed into zhao xu’s body.

After about 15 minutes, Zhao Xu felt that he was receiving far more energy than the energy he had put in.

This also allowed him to verify what the manual said. With the item familiar specialty, he had an additional 10% experience bonus.

If Arthur had members, then the experience bonus from the companion item could be considered a member benefit.

At this point, Zhao Xu also stood up and patted the dust off his body.

An item-type familiar also had the ability to put in spell slots again, and then drop two levels as a feedback.

It meant that if Zhao Xu put in a level 2 spell slot, then that Level 2 spell slot would be attached to an item or familiar. At the same time, he would also receive the feedback of an additional level 0 spell slot.

However, he didn’t have a level 2 spell slot yet, so he could only give up for now.

As for the remaining abilities of the item familiar, such as intelligence, communication, and various other powers, he would have to wait until he leveled up in the future.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but pull down the cloak on his body so that it could come closer to him.

This cloak was now the most expensive magic item he had on him.

after making sure that he had mastered the abilities of his companion, zhao xu went offline and returned to the real world.

——————————-

This time, when Zhao Xu went offline again, he found Zhang Qi and his girlfriend video chatting, which was a daily activity to torture the public.

even though zhao xu had only been online for two hours after he finished eating, he had already received a magic item worth 130000 gold coins and a powerful specialty.

but he felt like a long time had passed.

now that he had gone offline and temporarily suppressed the excitement of getting the equipment, the legendary story of ernest began to linger in his mind.

At that time, he was naturally sharp, so he didn’t have to ask Antonya about what happened after that and who the person she was protecting was.

but zhao xu was sure that the legendary ernest’s secret treasure had always been a legend, and no god had ever obtained it.

zhao xu had read the path of arcana that antonya had given him.

he knew very well that the gods of ernest’s era and the gods of the present did not overlap more than one hand.

Now that he thought about it, gods could also be considered a high-risk occupation.

zhao xu climbed out of bed as he thought about this. he took out his phone and looked at the qq group chat. wang ningwei and asvich had also exchanged hundreds of messages.

the topic of conversation had already started to shift from the details of arthur to topics about how he dressed up in his daily life and even the 2d world, and it was giving zhao xu a headache.

“baby, the mission at the fallen star lake is too dangerous. you shouldn’t go.” Zhang Qi said to his girlfriend on the other side of the video call.

then, zhang qi began to analyze the environment of fallen star lake with his girlfriend.

the fallen star lake was a critical location near winter city.

as long as the college town’s characters were born in winter city, most of them would go to the area around fallen star lake to train and fight monsters. a supply point had also begun to develop there.

As he listened to Zhang Qi’s logical analysis, Zhao Xu felt that it was strange. He knew that it would be dangerous, so why did Zhang Qi give up the remaining four Lifestones at the fallen star Lake in his previous life?

The battle of fallen star Lake was the first large-scale battle that the players in Arthur had launched, so it was of great significance.

this was also the reason why the university league that zhao xu was in was able to have such an important position in the future.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you to the permit application.” hearing his girlfriend’s coquettish behavior, zhang qi quickly comforted her.

zhao xu looked at zhang qi’s back as he walked away. he thought back to how zhang qi had taken care of and helped his family in his previous life.
