The Truth of Magic

68 the path of a mage

Over the next few days, Zhao Xu focused on increasing his power level and didn’t come into contact with the other players again.

After Antonya’s explanation, he finally found out that his magical domain resonated with the source of magic, which was one of the three main domains of a priest.

This had caused him to instantly upgrade his spell identification skill to Level 4.

antonya had also set up the rainbow light orb to determine this.

At the same time, he was immediately sent to take a “magic bullet” like a sheep being driven. This was also to make use of the remaining power of his origin as soon as possible so that he could directly master the ability of “counterspell.

The only aftershock of this incident was that some players who had witnessed it in the underground square posted on the forum.

That post focused on the fact that Zhao Xu had spoken Mandarin and didn’t speak the common language at the time, as well as the fact that the female wizard’s magic bullet didn’t work.

in the end, they came to the conclusion that zhao xu was a player who had mastered counter-spells. this made a lot of forum players scoff at this.

this was because no player had been able to master this ability since the server was launched.

This was a feat that not even the vanguards who had become Level 1 mages on the 7th to 14th days had been able to accomplish.

It would be hard to believe that such a genius had appeared in Mystra, a city that had taken 20 days to become a mage.

The only thing Zhao Xu did was give a like to the comments that were refuting the original poster.

at the same time, the activation of his magical domain allowed zhao xu’s own knowledge domain to finally show some signs of being able to communicate with the source of knowledge.

zhao xu spent most of his time every day reading through all sorts of books in the floating city’s library.

compared to the time when he had only managed to level up his level 1 knowledge (mystical) after much difficulty, basically every knowledge skill was leveled up very quickly.

After completing the knowledge skills, he also ended the remaining additional languages.

In the end, Zhao Xu followed Antonya to the seventh floor of the obelisk-occult cross.

the entire obelisk was the tallest tower in the floating city, and it was also the base of the final scroll.

the obelisk itself had been modified to expand its space, and at the same time, countless magical barriers had been set up around it. basically, if one wanted to enter, they would have to use a teleportation gate without a level-five teleportation spell.

“teacher, this place is quite luxurious.” zhao xu said as he looked around antonya’s usual office.

putting aside all the golems that were patrolling outside, just the set of bone-shaped armor in the living room that exuded a fearsome aura was enough for zhao xu to look at it carefully for a long time.

in his previous life, what warriors wanted the most was this kind of incomparably tough and fierce full-body armor.

on earth, it was on the same level as houses and cars.

antonya probably wouldn’t be able to wear this kind of armor even if she was a wizard. it was even possible that the armor didn’t provide as much defense as her own spells.

“Don’t touch it, it’s a substandard god weapon.” Antonya warned.

Over the past few days, after his focus skill had been upgraded, Zhao Xu had felt that he was able to keep his cool even when something big happened.

When she heard this, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

“a substandard god weapon?”

“that’s right, this armor is pretty good. it’s immune to a lot of negative states, but there’s a failure rate of arcane spells, so we mages can’t wear it. it’s a pity that you’re a mage too, otherwise it would suit you. with your priest divine spells, you’ll be a weapon on the battlefield.”

zhao xu couldn’t help but walk around the armor. ” mentor, aren’t you afraid that it’ll be stolen? ”

“Experts who can break through to this level will only steal from the lowest level. What’s the point of coming here? it’s just a broken lesser divine artifact.”

“what’s there?”

“What do you think we should be called?” antonya chuckled.

Zhao Xu nodded and finally understood. It turned out that the legendary Scroll that their faction was guarding was placed at the bottommost level of the obelisk.

It involved the secret of every goddess of magic’s Ascension.

zhao xu would often think about all sorts of small details that seemed off, and now that he was here with antonya, he finally couldn’t help but feel curious.

He said in a low voice, ” master, you blocked all detection and divination spells here, right? ”

“Nonsense. even divine power might not be able to hear this.” Antonya continued, ” the greatest value of that armor as a divine weapon is that it can interfere with divine power after being enhanced by legendary spells. if you say the god’s real name here, they may not hear the rest. of course, don’t seek death, i don’t want to attract the god’s attention.”

when he heard this, zhao xu finally felt a lot more at ease. so it wasn’t because he was handsome.

“teacher, since the scroll involves the secret of becoming a god, why didn’t anyone secretly read it?”

The city walls could stop the enemies on the outside, but they could not stop the rebels on the inside.

no matter how high he climbed, he was still a follower of the goddess. how could it be more comfortable than being a master god?

antonya was looking at the new official documents from that day.

“I’ll put it this way. Basically, every legendary-mage in the ‘final scroll’ has seen that scroll. Thus, the secret of becoming a god is known to everyone.”

zhao xu suddenly felt that this topic was a little too important for a level 1 player like him, but he couldn’t help but be curious.

he looked at his priest’s divine power and saw no signs of disappearing. he quickly asked, ” isn’t that even stranger? ”

At this moment, Antonya carefully sized up Zhao Xu. usually, people only dare to ask about this kind of thing when they’re about to become advanced Wizards. You’re quite brave.

after antonya had explained all the things to him a few days ago, zhao xu’s state of mind had taken a huge leap forward, and he wasn’t as cautious and cautious as he was in his previous life.

“mentor, that is?” zhao xu raised his voice slightly.

” come over and learn your next specialty. after that, go out and gain experience. ” antonya said angrily.

Zhao Xu realized that this was the first time Antonya didn’t give him a direct answer.

In the past, even if it was a legendary secret, Antonya’s personality was to be Frank.

He had a vague feeling that the organization ” final scroll ” could win over so many powerful legendary mages because it was not as simple as guarding the scroll itself.

“you have two other specialties, right?” antonya asked softly.

zhao xu nodded. ” i still have to decide on the level 1 talent and the human talent reward. ”

before this, he had already chosen ‘bizarre foresight’ and ‘spell proficiency’ for his two flaw specialties.

” then tell me, what other abilities do you want to improve? ” antonya asked.

“Mentor, didn’t you say that you can arrange the specializations?”

” idiot, you can decide the order of learning first and learning later. besides, our arrangement is just a rough scope. we didn’t set it so firmly. in any case, they are all very strong. ”

when he heard this, zhao xu started to feel a little conflicted.

he examined his spell panel and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

What did he lack the most?

mages had very few spell slots every day, but now that he had more priest divine spells, he could make do with them.

suddenly, zhao xu’s eyes looked at the spell slots that he had prepared.

“mentor, is there a specialization that can increase the degree of freedom? like bizarre forethought, i can cast whatever spell i want to.” zhao xu asked.

“Yes,’multi-talented spellcaster’.”
