The Truth of Magic

224 Chapter 223-divination

after zhao xu used his invisibility spell to leave the grocery plaza, he immediately headed towards the wizard association’s station in winter city.

after he had left mystra to look for the altar where the demons were hiding, he had been sent to the inn in the town to rest because there was no wizard association there.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu could have just used his identity as a wizard to apply for accommodation at the magic Association nearby.

Other than the fact that the price of a night’s stay was much lower, the mage Association itself meant that there was enough privacy.

He was wearing a magic robe and had a huge scythe on his back. The combination of these characteristics was truly dazzling.

The Paperboy had only mentioned that he could cast 3rd-circle spells, but when he pointed out the giant scythe, the wizard apprentice and Shen Nian would understand that the 3rd-circle wizard who had taken the lives of Waland and and the others was standing in front of them.

In winter city, everything took a long time to complete. Zhao Xu had sent an application to the City Hall to repair the roads, but the approval process took at least a year and a half to get to the city lord’s castle, which was the final arbiter.

however, the gossip in winter city ran away faster than anyone else.

Zhao Xu, who had seen this kind of behavior in his previous life, knew that by night, those who should know would know the details of the massacre that had just happened.

therefore, he had to rush to the sorcerer’s association to apply for accommodation before this period of time. then, he would use some means to change his appearance.

to put it bluntly, the current zhao xu could even be considered a warrior after he was buffed by a spell.

in the end, when zhao xu arrived at the reception counter in the front hall of the wizard association in winter city, he immediately dispelled his invisibility spell and went straight to a booth to register himself.

In theory, when a registered mage went to a town with a mage Association, they would not suffer any losses even if they went to the local area to register.

At the very least, the Association would be able to provide some help in terms of various information channels.

the main reason zhao xu hadn’t come to the first stop was that even the receptionist at the front desk didn’t know winter city better than he did.

Strictly speaking, he was the local tyrant here.

This time, Zhao Xu knew that he shouldn’t hand over his Super VIP card, which was the ” Mithril sparkle ” badge.

Anyway, he was here to register. If the Association wanted to intervene, they would know. There was no need for him to emphasize it. If they didn’t intervene, it actually meant that he would have to rely on himself for everything.

He also felt that the less outside forces interfered, the easier it would be for him to find the ” teleportation gate.

“mr. zhongxia, i’m sorry. due to the recent expansion of the mage community and the academic seminar held in winterfell, there was no need to worry. Therefore, from the end of the month to the end of the month, all first circle sorcerers in the Association could only stay in double rooms. in order to express my apology, the accommodation is free. And don’t worry, the new accommodation has already been approved and will be ready by the end of the month.”

the clerk tried to speak in a polite and gentle tone.

Zhao Xu didn’t think he had heard much about this in his previous life.

however, he also heard the main point of the other party. perhaps the two points of ” first ring road ” and ” earth adventurer ” were the reasons for his treatment.

Zhao Xu immediately understood.

it was likely that the graduating first circle mages had taken too much of the benefits offered to registered mages, resulting in a shortage of rooms.

the double rooms should have been modified from the original single rooms.

zhao xu wasn’t planning on changing the circle number on his badge right now. otherwise, he could just inject some of his own magic power into it and the badge would automatically change to a level 2 circle.

He also wanted to get in touch with the mage players in winter city to get more information, so he agreed to the request of this double room.

He, Qiao Zhuang, only needed a few minutes anyway.

when he went to look for waland before, he actually wanted to use him to spread the news and see if there was anything unusual around him.

“Okay, I’ll check you in now.”

Even though the clerk knew that the player in front of her wouldn’t be too angry, she couldn’t help but sigh in relief when she heard that the player didn’t mind.

To her, these mages were unfathomable.

————-

When Zhao Xu took the key and the room number that he had cast the spell on, he found that the room was already filled with three people. One of them was a first circle wizard, and the other two were apprentice Wizards.

The three of them were sitting on the rattan sofa next to the door, and the Griffin chess, which was popular in the North, was still on the long table in the middle.

the entire room was very spacious. even with two beds, there was still a large open space between them. in the corner was a desk with a simple alchemy device.

On the other side of the aisle were bookshelves, most of which were placed with some relatively simple magic books.

“What?” zhao xu couldn’t help but have some questions. it became a four-person room?

“oh, i’m sorry. they’re apprentice mages who haven’t graduated from the association. they heard that i came to winter city and came to see me. i’m sorry, they’ll leave soon.”

the 1st circle wizard sitting on the sofa quickly stood up and said to zhao xu, “my name is rainy night, i’m a level 1 wizard.”

When he heard the man introduce himself, Zhao Xu nodded. zhongxia, Level 1 wizard.

Generally speaking, the game IDs that were weird and didn’t match Arthur’s original name style were difficult to be widely spread.

therefore, many players would use their real names after transmigrating.

especially when they were playing games, the names they gave were the kind that sounded more shy.

zhao xu didn’t say much. he first placed his scythe next to an unused bed.

he had borrowed some simple bandaging cloth from the front desk just now. after he put away the edge of the giant scythe in his hand, he wrapped it again, and the original shape could not be seen.

therefore, the three people in the room didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Have you heard? a group of people went missing in the Starfall Lake recently. yesterday, the temple of the god of justice sent a group of paladins to investigate.” A slightly fatter apprentice who was sitting by himself said.

“Sigh, the Starfall Lake is very dark. Something will happen sooner or later. if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s a key transit station nearby, we players wouldn’t be bothered to go there.” the one who responded was a tall and thin apprentice.

the level 1 wizard, rainy night, who had introduced himself at the start, said casually, ” you don’t say. i’ve accepted a mission this time to go to the starfall lake to investigate. the nephew of a big shot has also gone missing. ”

“That’s enough. The underground of that place is a group of miners who never see the light of day, and the ground is a bunch of entertainment venues. Who knows if that important person’s nephew is still in his Sweet Home.” the fatter apprentice said.

after hearing their discussion, even though zhao xu already knew the reason why the battle of fallen star lake had erupted in his previous life, he still felt the calm before the storm.

However, he didn’t say much. Instead, he went to another room in the suite. There was a quiet room there, and he needed to use some spells to make a judgment.

it had been too noisy on the main road just now, so it was inconvenient for him to cast spells.

the three of them just so happened to be talking about the romantic scenes of the fallen star lake, and they couldn’t help but reveal their knowledge and experience as they gave their comments.

zhao xu didn’t know why, but the man didn’t seem to have any opinions on this. it was as if he had lost a lot of face.

however, after hearing the last sentence, he had already entered the quiet room and closed the door behind him.

in order to avoid interference, there was only a simple set of tables and chairs in the quiet room. the rest of the commonly used magical artifacts were all stored in a box at the side.

but zhao xu was going to cast a divine spell this time, so he took out the items he had bought earlier from his backpack.

it was a set of marked fortune-telling sticks, a magical weapon used by the wizards of ancient tribes for fortune-telling.

This was also the magic tool needed for the priest’s second circle Divine Art, divination.

Then Zhao Xu took out some more special incense from his backpack and dipped his finger into the Holy water before drawing a simple magic circle on the table.

finally, zhao xu placed the holy emblem on the altar and started to light the incense.

When that calming fragrance slowly rose into the air, Zhao Xu immediately grabbed the little stick and started waving it around according to the requirements of the divination spell.

The small stick seemed to be waving randomly, but in reality, it was slowly drawing a faint array in the air.

this was also the reason why the spell casters looked pale and old. they used their brains to cast complex spells every day, and their bodies were not in good condition.

On the other hand, the body of a war priest who only used ‘divine grace’,’ divine power’, and ‘rainbow righteousness’ to strengthen themselves was much better.

the divination incantation took a full minute.

In the end, when Zhao Xu finished casting the spell, the incense worth 25 gold coins in front of him burned out in one breath. The entire process had been sped up by a hundred times.

When the incense burned to the last bit of ash, the flame that was about to go out bounced up into the air and floated in front of Zhao Xu’s eyes, glowing with a green light.

zhao xu looked at the dancing phosphorescence in front of him and directly asked the question he had prepared beforehand.

if I teleport to ‘fallen star Lake’ immediately, will it be of any help in finding my target teleportation portal? ”

When it came to divination, the clearer the question, the more likely it was to get a successful answer.

at this moment, the spiritual light floating in the air slowly began to condense and finally turned into the word “luck.”

then, the light slowly dissipated, and the entire room fell into darkness again.

But Zhao Xu didn’t move.

although he had basically guessed the outcome, he was not too excited.

To be honest, Zhao Xu didn’t want to rashly get involved in Starfall Lake.

Having read that part of the history, he knew how brutal the battle was. Fortunately, the players had Lifestones, or there wouldn’t be any players around WinterCity alive.

Even though he was the least likely to die among the players, he still didn’t want to dance around the gunpowder barrel.

That was why he had always been trying to change the fate of others by influencing them, and not suddenly interfering.

Otherwise, it really wouldn’t have been so difficult for him to obtain a teleportation GATE qualification.

as expected, it was the place where death once suffered. even the location where the portal was opened was the place where the people who were about to die the most tragic death.
