The Truth of Magic

247 The secret under the prophecy

after zhao xu returned to arthur, he went straight to starfall town, where the mining association was located.

as for the sorcery giant, he had sealed it up with the ninth-circle spell, the ‘imprisonment spell’.

under this spell that could last forever, the sorcery giant would always be in a state of suspended animation.

It was because he had learned of the existence of another notebook from the memory of the sorcery giant.

It was an item that the other race had collected hundreds of years ago while searching for arcane knowledge.

from that, the other party realized the extraordinary significance of that notebook and also knew of the existence of several other books.

Therefore, the sorcery giant tribe had used the ‘notebook’ to set up an extremely powerful ritual.

As long as someone with a notebook stepped into the northern Alliance’s monitored area, the ritual would be triggered.

the other party even knew that the target had the characteristics of a priest of the goddess of magic.

this was because when zhao xu arrived at winter city, he had entered the detection range and triggered the ritual of the notebook.

but zhao xu wasn’t too worried right now.

Because after synchronizing with ‘Artoria’, he had cast an eighth-circle’ mind barrier ‘spell that could last for a full 24 hours on himself.

This spell directly blocked the existence of all divination and detection spells.

in fact, there was another notebook in the northern alliance’s territory, and it was in the hands of flay’s father.

The sorcery Giants also did not rashly go forward to take it.

it meant that the notebook could also block prophetic detection methods.

Zhao Xu was going to go back and order a lead box to keep his notebook.

“fallen star town” was a small town that was developed under the mithril vein under fallen star lake.

Due to the influence of the ore vein beneath fallen star Lake, many of the surrounding monsters had evolved. Hence, the players would often come here to train and collect their harvest.

Before the gamers entered Arthur, Starfall town was prosperous. The town was rich in entertainment and relied on the miners ‘monthly salary.

And these industries also laid the foreshadowing for the later “slave trafficking incident.”

The post that Zhao Xu had posted before he went online was actually an analysis of the terrain around the entire fallen star Lake. He had also revealed a lot of information about the strength of the mining Association.

most importantly, he suggested that if the players really wanted to defeat the slave-selling mine owners, they had to unite and start a war.

Otherwise, the scattered ambushes would not have been able to overpower the upper limit of Starfall town’s combat power.

at the same time, zhao xu was also trying to convince the players that only with more people could they start an epic battle.

In fact, the players in his previous life had only decided to fight to the death on the fourth day after each of them had paid two to three Lifestones. All the players had gathered and set off together.

In the end, they launched a siege on the high walls of Starfall town.

this war of tens of thousands of scales used the deaths of countless people as sacrifices to create a tragic and desolate historical battle.

as a result, a large number of players outside the safe zone were pulled into the pit.

Zhao Xu’s post was to first tell the players the answer so that they could copy it, so that they wouldn’t have to spend another two days trying to make mistakes.

The requirements for the mine owners to gather mercenaries had already been released. Today was the first day, and on the third day, the mining Association would receive a strong supplement.

That was why Zhao Xu had to take advantage of the time difference.

but when zhao xu got closer to starfall town, which was still brightly lit at night, he didn’t go in rashly.

After using his observation skill to investigate, he found that the entire Starfall town was in a state of high alert.

From time to time, there would be one or two groups of players who got close to Starfall town and attacked the town’s guards directly. However, they were all defeated immediately.

in the past, zhao xu had used divination to predict what he would gain from going to fallen star lake, and the result he had gotten back then was ” good luck. ”

now that he was a level 20 priest, he had even more powerful means.

other than the level 2 divination, there were no other skills.

zhao xu could also use the level 4 prophecy spell and the level 5 divine spell.

The divination skill would give him useful advice on what to do, what purpose, or what to do within a week.

theurgy, on the other hand, was a direct inquiry to the gods or agents to get the answer through inquiry, and there was also the possibility of getting an unclear answer.

zhao xu’s main problem at the moment was how he was going to break out of this situation from a new perspective, not how he was going to continue going around in circles with his own plan.

thus, he directly chose to use the ‘prophecy’ technique.

Zhao Xu was in the wilderness right now, so he didn’t have the time to prepare incense or holy water. He couldn’t be as careful as he was when he first started performing his divination.

Not to mention that this spell required chanting for about 10 minutes, which was quite risky in this quiet night.

So Zhao Xu continued to extravagantly use the ninth-circle miracle to simulate it.

after a few seconds, the simulated divination spell released a burning ray of light that landed on the fir tree in front of zhao xu.

He took a closer look and found that the tree had directly engraved the advice given by the prophecy spell-

Antonya.

After he saw the name, Zhao Xu quietly used a spell to remove the scratch on the tree.

However, his heart was heavy and confused.

In fact, ever since he had been sent to the trial to obtain the specialty iron will, he had been trying to avoid cheating with Antonya.

he just didn’t expect that after going round and round, he would actually come back here.

Now that things had come to this, Zhao Xu didn’t hesitate and immediately cast a teleportation spell to return to Mystra.

As the teleportation light of the spell flashed, he appeared in the reception hall of the arcane gate, and then used the teleportation gate to reach the floating city.

when it was almost midnight, zhao xu finally reached the seventh level of the obelisk.

“Mentor, you’re still awake?”

Zhao Xu knocked on the door and found Antonya sitting on his office desk in her pajamas and windbreaker. She was flipping through a thick and heavy magic book.

At this moment, Antonya raised her eyebrows a little and looked at Zhao Xu.

“it’s finally a little stronger, but it doesn’t last long. however, you didn’t go to the legendary library for nothing. you’ve more or less mastered some temporary strengthening methods.”

Zhao Xu wasn’t surprised that Antonya was able to see through the fact that he was in sync with the blazing God’s servant with just one look.

At this moment, he also treated this place like his own home, so he casually sat down on the soft cushion sofa and spoke directly to Antonya.

“teacher, i would like to ask about the inside story of the ‘scavenger beast pit’.”

zhao xu then explained everything that had happened to him from start to finish.

At the same time, he also told Antonya what he had seen with the prophecy spell.

And at this moment, Zhao Xu, who had the TrueSight spell to see through all illusions and magic, realized that he still couldn’t see Antonya’s face clearly under the hood.

how did you find out that the ‘prophecy’ was not pointing to the mine owner of fallen star Lake, but to the ‘cave’ where the ‘will of steel’ was obtained? ” he asked. Antonya asked curiously.

anyone who was doing a quest would directly respond that the spell was aimed at the current situation.

However, Zhao Xu had the memories of his previous life, so he knew better than anyone else how powerful the mine owners of fallen star Lake were.

It was strong, but it was not enough to threaten the current him.

the ” prophecy ” was to tell him that he had to seek antonya’s help.

In other words, even a level 20 priest would not be able to deal with it.

“It’s my intuition.” zhao xu knew that antonya didn’t really care about all this, so he immediately gave her a reason that both sides could accept.

” interesting. did you know that the checkpoint you went to was the most difficult one? ”

“In the past few years, not many have been able to pass.” antonya cupped her chin in her hands and recalled, ” ” but there’s a benefit to this difficulty. as long as you can enter that interdimensional space, you’ll definitely get the specialty ‘iron will’. ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was right.

he knew that his trial would be special.

“What’s in that demiplane?” zhao xu couldn’t help but ask.

The blazing sky god servant could only synchronize with him for a limited time, but it wasn’t like he couldn’t bargain.

in the past, zhao xu had been so stupid to think that rules were rules. It wasn’t until later that he realized that as long as it was a rule set by man, there was room for compromise.

he could talk to altoria and extend the time.

he could even cover the area to enter the demiplane.

” the divine weapon of the death god is hidden in that half-plane, the real death god’s sickle. ”

antonya wasn’t guarded against zhao xu at all, so she just said this out loud.

suddenly, the skeleton-like armor in the room shook.

instructor, if you put it this way, I think I should leave as soon as possible after I go in and awaken my ‘iron will’ specialty.

“how could i?” Antonya suddenly started laughing softly.

“actually, i quite want to collect that divine artifact. it’s rare to have a divine artifact that’s so purely for the sake of killing.”

zhao xu shook his head. ” mentor, i won’t ask for trouble with this. ”

the mage association definitely had no lack of godly items.

therefore, he was sure that this was not the real hidden thing.

but antonya definitely wouldn’t lie to him, which meant that even antonya might not know what was hidden there.

This was truly terrifying and dangerous.

“hmm, what a boring zhongxia. actually, you don’t have to worry. after you participate in this battle, the powerful resonance of living and dying together will allow you to improve.” antonya said.

that’s why you should take this opportunity to master and farm those backup spells.

zhao xu nodded when he heard this. ” then, mentor, you’re right. i’ll be going back first.”

zhao xu already knew what antonya was referring to.

“Oh, that’s right,” suddenly, antonya seemed to have remembered something. ” there’s actually something that no one has been able to find hidden in that interdimensional space. ”

at this moment, zhao xu quickly canceled the advanced teleportation spell that he was simulating and almost caused an accident.

one day, he would have to fix antonya’s habit of speaking halfway.

At this moment, Antonya stood up and adjusted the windbreaker she was wearing. it’s just that there’s a piece of the god of death’s divinity fragment over there.

” it’s one of the few shortcuts in arthur to become a god. ”
