The Truth of Magic

82 The beginning of the underground city

For the next few days of their journey, Zhao Xu didn’t have any monster-generated special traits on him, so the entire journey was very easy.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu had chosen this smuggler caravan. A regular caravan could still be targeted by thieves who tried to Rob them, but for an underground organization like Noah who could do smuggler-level things, if he still couldn’t intimidate the arrogant people along the way, then he would really be wasting his time.

“mr. zhongxia? is that a spell scroll in your hand?” A few days later, the poet. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask Zhao Xu this.

from the first day that zhao xu had taken out the scrolls, he had already started counting in his heart. by today, he had already taken out more than ten scrolls.

if a level 1 spell scroll cost 25 gold pieces, then zhao xu’s net worth would be at least a few hundred gold coins. he could be considered a rich player.

However, the poet had still underestimated Zhao Xu by two zeros.

The poet, the Antarctic frog, noticed that Zhao Xu didn’t take out a spellbook to copy the spells on the scroll like a normal wizard.

What was even more ridiculous was that when a wizard copied a spell, they would take a long time to read and understand it. If they were more careful, they would just copy one spell a day, and they would only get two spells a day for adventure quests. They wouldn’t be able to copy four or five spells a day like Zhao Xu.

“yup,” zhao xu just so happened to be able to use his enlightened spellcaster ability to record the level 1 arcane spell, hidden fog, into his mind.

before antonya parted ways with him, she finally managed to give zhao xu a level 1 arcane spell scroll while he was talking about how difficult it was for a new wizard. she told him to copy it whenever he had the time on his adventure.

Mages could copy spells from other people’s spellbooks or scrolls.

copying a spellbook would affect the structure of another person’s spells, and it could cause the spells in the borrowed spellbook to disappear.

this was also the reason why beginner wizard players didn’t dare to borrow spellbooks and exchange them with each other.

the wizard association would not let you copy a spell for free just because the spell in your spellbook disappeared.

As long as they completed their studies and stepped out of the Association, they would have to pay the spell copying and borrowing fee.

Copying a scroll would definitely make the magic scroll blank, as if it had been used.

That was why Zhao Xu didn’t dare to relax for even a moment over the past few days. He had to copy it down first before it became his.

If he didn’t quickly copy it down, he would have to use the scroll to cast the spell when he really needed to.

This way, he would not be able to master the spell before he could buy another scroll or borrow a spellbook.

“Brother zhongxia, are you copying a spell? Where’s your spellbook?” The priest said in surprise.

These days, Youyou had been facing her monthly exams and had been in the carriage sorting out her high school knowledge and solving the questions based on her own memory. She hadn’t paid much attention to Zhao Xu’s situation.

“i haven’t mastered the” scribe scroll “ability, i’ve only memorized it in my heart. and i obtained the spell through prayer.” zhao xu said ambiguously.

The people around them suddenly fell silent. After the ghost incident, everyone had specially gone on the forum to search for the mentor class.

the mentor class could study spells, but they obtained spells through prayer.

The ability to cast spells was probably the only thing that it could be praised for. As for the abilities of priests and mages, it didn’t have them. It was like a blank slate.

even the few mentor players on the forum could only obtain a few spells through prayer, which was very shabby.

then, Mr. Zhongxia, you’ve inherited quite a bit of your mentor’s ‘legacy’, right? ” rogue rainbow licked his lips and said, his eyes shining with a golden light. “have you considered selling a few magic scrolls?”

“that’s not an inheritance.” zhao xu corrected her in a soft voice. he didn’t dare to curse antonya.

when he had said “last “, he had only meant that antonya had said goodbye to him at the end. these players had thought that it was her last moments, so they couldn’t blame him for that.

“Then, miss priest, aren’t you a high school student? You don’t have to go to school?” Zhao Xu didn’t want to be asked about the secrets of his faction, so he started to turn the tables and asked the cleric, who had the most flaws.

“ah, me?” The priest laughed when he heard this. I’m sick, so I’m at home. I’m bored at home, so I came online to play games. while i’m at it, i’ll take some time to study so that i won’t fall behind. speaking of which, the religious knowledge in the game is really more of a headache than studying.”

“Youyou’s legs are injured. we’re her friends and relatives in real life, so we decided to go on an adventure together.” Maple Leaf said in a low voice.

zhao xu was stunned when he heard this. he noticed that only youyou’s expression was still natural. the rogue rainbow and the poet. frog both lowered their heads.

He immediately understood that the injury was not a knock-down, but a paralysis.

zhao xu knew that he wasn’t the kind of saint who would save the world with a burning passion, and he wouldn’t go to the point where he wouldn’t keep everything to himself if one person wasn’t full.

however, when a tragedy happened in front of him, he still couldn’t bear it. he would sympathize and help.

This was also his style of life. He didn’t care too much about the tragedies in the world, but if it appeared in his sight, even if it was just a donation information that he had swept through the internet, he would still donate a little.

“It’s fine. No one can be sure about anything in the world. maybe in less than a year, your leg will recover.” Zhao Xu said to yoyo.

However, only he knew that his words were the truth and not a consolation.

A year later, when the players entered the world of Arthur, their bodies would be reconstructed according to their attributes.

this was also the reason why zhao xu didn’t dare to increase his charm by 8 points. his life in real life was already hard enough, and if he went to arthur with his looks still at-2, that would be too bad.

ah, brother zhongxia, I just twisted my leg. I’ll be fine after resting for a week. youyou said with a smile.

zhao xu finally came back to his senses. he looked at the serious poets and rogues and couldn’t help but laugh.

she was just teasing him.

“if you guys play pranks like this again in the future, be careful that you don’t slip into the chaotic faction.” zhao xu was speechless as he warned her.

“We’re not from the order faction to begin with,” At this time, the poet and the Rogue spoke in unison.

Zhao Xu looked at Youyou and said, ” what about you? the goddess is neutral and kind.

hehe, I’m definitely kind. It doesn’t matter if I fall one rank. Youyou smiled slyly.

Zhao Xu finally understood what was going on. The cleric in front of him must have known that the two of them were just teasing him, so she was working together. No wonder they were able to form a team.

“I was just joking.” fengye laughed carefreely.

The carriage was instantly filled with cheerful laughter.

“then what’s the point of taking a week off just to review your concepts in the game? you don’t need to do any questions?” zhao xu immediately went back to the question he had at the start.

Youyou, on the other hand, was generous and confident. I’ve already been recommended. I’m just revising for the monthly exam these few days, so that my results won’t be too bad.”

zhao xu could only nod silently. he didn’t have to worry too much about life’s winner mode.

Suddenly, the carriage slowed down.

After Zhao Xu had lectured them for the past few days, the four of them immediately held onto their weapons, including Zhao Xu, who was ready to cast a spell at any time. If anything went wrong, they would throw it out.

“brave adventurers, i have a mission to ask for your opinion. is it convenient for me to say a few words?” noah’s voice came from outside the carriage.

The warrior Maple Leaf turned around and looked at Zhao Xu, wanting to ask for his opinion.

zhao xu just nodded.

This was the wilderness, and there was a request. Could there be a secret underground city nearby?
