The Truth of Magic



393 Strength runic magic staff
The runic staff of power.

It was a staff that weighed no more than a few pounds and was as smooth as black jade. The top of the staff was embedded with a mysterious sparkling gem, and complicated arcane runes were engraved on it.

The ‘runic magic staff’ was another form of a magic staff. It could allow the caster to consume the spell slots of a spell-level spell to cast the spells engraved in the runic magic staff, which was equivalent to expanding the limit of the spell slot of the wizard.

For example, the strength runic magic staff in Zhao Xu’s hands that was worth around 60000 gold coins could use up spell slots to cast ice pick, inextinguishable flame, fireball, invalidate barrier, hold monsters, levitate, Lightning Arrow, magic missile, ray of enfeeblement, force field wall, and other spells.

It was just that Zhao Xu had the two great skills of being a multi-talented spellcaster and bizarre forethought, so it wasn’t as significant as the other spell casters.

Moreover, the rune magic staff required a ‘tuning ritual’ to be used. Repeating the ritual would only cover the previous one.

Therefore, everyone could only have one runic magic staff at any time.

The staff itself could be used as A +2 refined wooden stick. At the same time, it could give the user a Rank 2 luck in defense and immunity, which was equivalent to more than half of the praise spell.

If it was just A +2 magic wooden stick, there would be nothing special about it.

The reason why it could be stored in the treasure room alongside the Dragon Pearl, the Wuxiang Wuchang token, and other divine artifacts was mainly because of its other function.

The staff could use swift action and consume a level 1 spell slot. In the next round, the staff’s melee attack could deal twice the damage, and a critical hit could deal three times the damage.

This was extremely crucial for melee damage output.

After that, Zhao Xu said goodbye to everyone in a hurry. He picked up the brass box and went back to his tent.

After this incident, this group of escapees no longer dared to let anyone go out and court death.

“Guild leader, you recognize this wooden club?” Vivian said.

Zhao Xu nodded and told him everything he knew.

After Vivian finished listening, she smiled mysteriously and asked, ” President, do you know? ”

“What?”

there are two versions of this strength runic magic staff in this world.

“What do you mean?”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

Logically speaking, the ones in the treasure vault should be the best. He could not see any other versions of the strength runic magic staves.

Vivian bit her lip as if she felt that the things in front of her were a little unbelievable.

although the strength runic scepter is rare, other mages have successfully made it, but those versions were mostly in the form of a wooden stick.

only a few of them are in the form of wooden rods. Their power is no different from that of wooden rods. The only difference is the shape of the weapons.

Wooden clubs and sticks were weapons that only a few mages had mastered. They were simple weapons that had not yet reached the level of military weapons.

Wooden clubs were often held with one hand, while wooden clubs were held with two hands.

Zhao Xu furrowed his eyebrows slightly. the producer is different? ”

“Captain, your reaction is really fast.” Vivian immediately continued, ” it’s in the form of a wooden stick. It’s all created by my Lord because he likes wooden sticks and not wooden sticks.

Zhao Xu looked at the wooden stick in his hand in disbelief.

It seemed that Ernest had made more than just a few runic scepters of power, but for some reason, one of them was lost.

During this period, it must have changed hands several times, until it was sealed in a brass treasure box and entered the nest of the mutant Scorpion.

She didn’t expect it to fall into his hands again.

“Vivian, I’m afraid we have to go to the nest to take a look.” Zhao Xu said seriously.

A random treasure chest from a mysterious lair had the rune scepter that Ernest had once made. This was beyond his expectations.

“Indeed, that lair is worth exploring.”

Logically speaking, the magical items in the hands of the monsters in Arthur would mostly match their identity.

For those who had treasures that were above their level, the part that was filled with water would have long been squeezed dry by more powerful adventurers.

A level 11 mutated Scorpion might not attract much attention, but with a nest with a lot of storage, even an adventurer team with an average level 15 would be tempted.

Zhao Xu was especially curious about the fact that the mutated Scorpion had an ability that was similar to a ” teleportation door ” that wasn’t available to any of its race’s abilities.

Fortunately, the mutated Scorpion was unable to open the treasure chest and take out a wooden stick to show off. Otherwise, it would not have lived to become a super-giant insect.

but the old man said that the adventurers who stole the treasure chest formed a team and went out for a stroll two hours ago. Outsiders didn’t know where they were at that time.

Vivian did not continue.

After they killed the Super-large mutant Scorpion that devoured the adventurer, its digestive ability was too strong. When they cut open the Scorpion, only bones were left.

Of course, he couldn’t use the spell ‘talk to the dead’.

“No, Vivian.” Zhao Xu gently pointed at the brass treasure chest that was piled up in the corner.

This thing took up too much space and it wasn’t easy to stuff it into his bento bag that had a secondary space, but Zhao Xu still managed to bring it back like he was picking up trash.

“With this treasure chest, we can use the item positioning spell to sense something similar.”

Now that Zhao Xu was a level 12 spellcaster, the area of effect of this spell would be within a 300-meter radius with him as the center.

It would take two hours for the adventurers to go back and forth. Even if they had no time for exploration, they could only walk two or three kilometers an hour at night.

With his item locating spell, which had a diameter of more than half a kilometer, he only needed to use it three to four times to find the target in the direction pointed by the old man.

At this time, among the escaping group, even if they were blinded by greed and wanted to get their hands on the treasures of the nest, only a few dared to go under the threat of the mutated Scorpion.

Even because the adventurers had just brought back the disaster, they would be stopped by others if they wanted to leave to search for treasure.

Therefore, in the process of searching for the nest, it was unlikely that they would be disturbed by others.

The only ones he had to consider were the mutated scorpions.

Vivian looked at the smile on Zhao Xu’s face and immediately understood what he meant.

master, to be able to afford a super-large mutated Scorpion’s nest, I’m afraid there must be many other mutated scorpions.

She was a little worried about Zhao Xu’s spell endurance.

The monsters in Arthur would not line up to die.

So even if Zhao Xu used fireballs to clear the ground, the effect would only be average. The mutated scorpions that kept coming out of their nests were what gave them a headache.

“Vivian, mages can also fight a long battle.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Mental protection!

Zhao Xu instantly cast this Level 3 spell that could only last for about ten minutes. It gave him immunity to elemental damage, which was perfect for his next Supreme magic control.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have cast a level 2 spell, cloud of blades (spell duration). Duration: 24 hours (originally 12 rounds)

[ freely release a blade attack every round. Range: 9 meters, attack power rank 20 (spellcaster level + intelligence adjustment), damage: 5-11(1d6 + level/3) ]

Zhao Xu’s body was covered in a layer of mist-like blade aura, but he just stared at the wooden stick in his hand.

In the past, after synchronizing with the blazing sky god servant, he had directly raised a huge sickle and slaughtered in all directions, cutting cavalrymen as if they were vegetables.

At that time, he had a nine-circle divine spell.

Now, he was going to rely on the few spell slots he had left to stack up and become the number one melee fighter among the current player group.

Every level of a warrior required them to increase their attack power. Generally, a warrior would have the basic attack power of a rank three warrior at a few levels.

And because Zhao Xu was a wizard, he was now at Level 6 and could barely make do with the battle awareness of a level 3 attack. And this was because he was a level 5 warrior in his previous life, so he didn’t need to waste time on close-combat training.

Otherwise, other mages, even if they didn’t like close combat, would still have to go through basic physical combat training if they wanted to improve their circle. Their requirements were much lower than Warriors.

When they reached level 20, the Warriors, barbarians, Paladins, and Rangers who specialized in physical damage would have full level 20 basic attack power.

As for the secondary damage dealers, the poeters, priests, rogues, Druids, and monks were all around level 15.

As for the mages and warlocks, they were only at level 10. They were more than enough to bully an ordinary warrior, but compared to Warriors of the same level, they were far inferior without the support of spells.

Zhao Xu looked at the attack power on his character stats: Level 3 profession, Level 3 praise luck, Level 1 agility boost,+2 strength rune staff,+2 level.

There were a total of 9 levels.

It was just that when Zhao Xu first created his account, he didn’t know that mages could also deal physical damage, so he chose civilian staff to reduce Stage 2 attack power. At the same time, 8 points of strength didn’t increase his attack power, but because he had little strength, it also brought about a Stage 1 damage reduction.

His current attack was only at Tier 6.

Luckily, his class abilities and spell slots weren’t to be trifled with. With all the resources he had, Zhao Xu also had the ability to change his fate.
