The Truth of Magic



644 All the way north

After Zhao Xu introduced himself, everyone in the courtyard started to look at him with a thoughtful expression.

Even though everyone had transmigrated to Arthur, very few people introduced themselves with the name of the place. People would think that they were high-level officials and were proud of it.

However, the crowd obviously hadn’t forgotten the name “Xu Zhao” that mother Zheng had mentioned. For a moment, everyone was staring at Xu Zhao who was standing at the door.

“Why are you still standing there?” Zheng xinyun’s grandfather immediately berated the two family juniors who were receiving them at the door.

They finally came to their senses and quickly bowed to invite Zhao Xu in.

Wizards were one of the few noble classes in Arthur.

This was especially true in the Wildlands. As long as there were players, class training was being carried out one after another. Only the wizard class was not being carried out because of the difficulty.

Or rather, at this moment, only ya Nan had this condition.

That was why the spellcasters of the Wildlands were originally equal in the eyes of the players, and there was no distinction between them. After transmigrating, they slowly began to become more noble due to the different ratings.

A visit from a mage and a visit from a warrior would indeed have different treatment.

And Zhao Xu wasn’t as cold and arrogant as he was on the outside. As he looked at the familiar faces of Mr. And Mrs. Zheng from ten years ago, he felt even more heartache and nostalgia.

With Zheng xinyun’s family background, if it wasn’t for Arthur, the two of them would be like parallel lines. There was no possibility of them meeting, even if Zhao Xu’s parents were considered to have some assets.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu didn’t look for her when the game started.

It was a distance that was difficult to even approach.

She even looked at the family members of the Zheng family and Yun ‘er’s circle of friends.

Even though many of them were in dire straits in Arthur, their self-confidence, which was developed by their family background, was still restrained.

Of course, after the first week of hunger, the upper class who still thought that they were above the rest on earth had long been awakened by reality.

Even if some players had the idea of returning to Earth to curry favor with them, after the wave of undead, they more or less understood that only their own strength was real, and they could exist without starving.

The other halos and assets of the past had long become an illusion.

Not to mention that for these classes to be able to stand tall, they were extremely sensitive to the wind and never hesitated when to use what attitude.

At this moment, the Wildlands looked more like the end of the world. The original power and capital no longer existed. Only power was eternal, and only power would be the new master of this place.

“You are Yun ‘er’s good friend? I’ve heard of your name from her, and it’s rare for you to come here on account of our friendship. Thank you.”

At this moment, mother Zheng also stood up and held Zhao Xu’s hand as she thanked him.

She didn’t know why, but she naturally had a good impression of this handsome young man.

When Zhao Xu walked in, everyone was shocked by his amazing attractiveness.

On the other hand, he was also staring at the four ain stones floating above his head.

They were of different colors and shapes, from spindle to prism, from transparent to rainbow, and they were all spinning above Zhao Xu’s head.

For a moment, the players who knew the inside story of the enen stone could not help but keep quiet, staring at the strange object that was free from the restraint of gravity.

everyone started to slowly analyze zhao xu’s outfit from top to bottom as they looked at the ain stone. even though his cloak looked plain, it couldn’t hide the luxurious wine-red mage robe he was wearing. his gloves, rings, boots, and even the headband and the crystal on his forehead all looked like magic items.

“First echelon? someone called zhao xu?” There were already some players who were secretly mumbling about Zhao Xu’s identity.

but the first team only has one or two magical items. Four enen stones are equivalent to four magical items. Even the top 100 players before transmigrating might not be able to use such a method.

“He’s probably one of the best.”

It was only after the younger generation of the Zheng family explained the situation that the elders finally realized how expensive the four ain stones on Zhao Xu’s head were.

If he was even equipped with an ain stone, it would be even more unreasonable if he didn’t have a few magical items on him.

just like on earth, buying a super luxurious sports car was one thing. many businessmen could afford it even if they gritted their teeth. the key was the follow-up maintenance and even repair costs. that was the big part.

“Yun ‘er is my close friend, I didn’t expect her to suffer such a disaster.” Zhao Xu lowered his voice as he spoke. Combined with his explosive charm at this moment, everyone could feel the sadness within him.

As she spoke, mother Zheng thought of Yun ‘er’s daily life and suddenly felt sad.

“You’re Yoona’s good friend in the game?” Suddenly, Zheng xinyun’s best friend, Qi Qi, asked, ” why haven’t I heard of you before? ”

During the day, there was already a starving man who wanted to come in and have a meal. Although the other party seemed to have an extraordinary identity, she still had to verify it.

“Didn’t aunty just say that name? Have you forgotten about Qi Qi?” Another female poet immediately explained on Zhao Xu’s behalf.

from the moment zhao xu walked in, she found him very pleasing to the eye, and she was inclined to explain things on his behalf.

“I know, but Yun ‘er’s life involved too many secrets. I think it’s better to be cautious.”

we met when she was training as a cleric in Mystra. Zhao Xu said.

Zhao Xu had no intention of lying to his parents-in-law from his previous life.

However, some things were too complicated to explain, so it was better to make it simple.

“That’s not right.” Qi Qi mumbled to herself, ” although you mages also have Mistra’s training, mages and priests are not from the same place.

I was a lecturer at that time, similar to her guide. Zhao Xu explained with a smile.

“Are you kidding me?”

Qi Qi was not the only one who was in disbelief. The players around him were also suspicious.

“Yoona only entered the game two months late. At that time, we players hadn’t developed enough to take on the role of a guide.” Qi Qi retorted coldly.

“I have another code name in the game.”

When he first met his parents-in-law from his previous life, Zhao Xu naturally used his real name because Yoo ‘er would probably use this name when she introduced him to them.

Since his real name was introduced, the rest of his identity was not worth keeping a secret from his loved ones.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door. It seemed that there were many people.

Before they could even make any announcements, a group of people outside barged in.

The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a mustache. He had an indifferent look on his face, and from his frivolous steps, it could be seen that he was not a professional. On the other hand, the seven or eight people behind him were basically Warriors and mercenaries.

” it’s the one in charge of building the residence in the camp. a few days ago, they approved this big house for yun ‘er. ”

As the head of the family, father Zheng quickly walked up and extended his hand to the man. He said politely, ” “Brother Liu, if there’s anything you need, just let us know and we’ll go over. There’s no need for you to come all the way here,”

If the other party was on earth, he wouldn’t even give him a second glance.

However, things had changed with the passage of time, and the one who held the power now was the other party.

The middle-aged man with the surname Liu waved his hand politely and said in a formal manner, ” brother Zheng, I’ve also just heard about your daughter’s matter. Please don’t blame me for suddenly coming to visit you at this time.”

“Then what is it?” Hearing that the other party didn’t even bother to mention a word of mourning, father Zheng also understood that they didn’t come with good intentions.

“it’s mainly like this.” Mr. Liu immediately took out a stack of goatskin papers from his arms, on which was a record of the latest residence allocation. brother Zheng, you also know that your daughter, Yun ‘er, signed an aid agreement with the camp because of her identity as a priest. She would provide a certain amount of Divine Art support every day.

“So, the first batch of houses built in the camp after receiving Yanan’s support was assigned to your family. The level 5 and 6 players haven’t even had their turn yet, let alone the non-player higher-ups in the camp.” Mr. Liu retorted, ” you have to admit this, right? ”

Mr. Zheng’s face also darkened as he nodded. that’s right, we are very grateful to the camp for this.

“But the current situation is that priest Yoona has passed away. With the shortage of rooms, many high-level players were not even given a small room, and they were already in a bad mood. “So …” Mr. Liu said as he looked deeply into the other person’s eyes.

all of a sudden, the relatives and friends of the zheng family were in an uproar. they looked indignant.

Not to mention that they had just left, at this time, the sky was about to rain. If the family went out to get wet in the rain, without the support of Yun ‘er’s divine arts, it was even more unknown whether they would live or die.

It was hard to say if the elders would be able to survive.

“What’s the meaning of this? It hasn’t even been half a day, and the tea has already cooled down and is being recycled?”

“Yeah? Who would dare to risk their lives for Yanan like this?”

“Is this the attitude you should have towards a martyr who sacrificed himself for Yanan?”

Yoona’s player friends immediately shouted.

the zheng family had no choice but to lower their heads when they were under someone else’s roof, and the players were already part of the power class. at this time, their words were powerful and resonating.

However, the middle-aged man with the surname Liu naturally had his own reasons for being able to come here, not to mention the fact that he had a higher level of players behind him.

He immediately revealed a stiff smile and said, ” “Everyone, please don’t be anxious. Let me explain first.”

He was not worried about the Zheng family. however, if he didn’t handle this group of players well, it would still be a little troublesome, so he naturally opened his mouth to explain.

“if yoona had died in the previous undead tide, then according to the rules, this room will not be used to recover the pension. However, the problem now is that priest Yoona did not carry out an official mission. She was only killed by an unexpected attack in the wild.”

when the camp first assigned this house to priest Yoona, they wanted to use her divine arts. Power and duty complement each other. Now that priest Yoona has unfortunately passed away and can’t perform her task, isn’t it reasonable to take back this special power? ”

hearing this, father zheng’s face stiffened, but he could only calm his emotions and explain, ” brother Liu, you know that our people have this funeral custom. Can you be lenient for a few days and let us have this place to settle Yun ‘er’s funeral before moving? ”

not to mention that there’s going to be a heavy rain soon. Even if our family is driven out, we won’t have a place to live. As he spoke, father Zheng turned around to look at his family.

Originally, everyone was living in different places in the city, each living in their own luxury flat-story or villa.

Now that this transmigration incident had happened, basically the whole family had come to him. On one hand, it allowed father Zheng to surpass his uncles and brothers and become the core of the entire family. Although the consequence was that more than a dozen people in a room had to sleep on the floor, he had never experienced the glory of this family.

But now, it had all turned into a deep pressure.

“I’m sorry, brother Zheng. This is the reason why I’m here.” Mr. Liu looked at the seven or eight Warriors and mercenaries behind him.

They were the collection team that had come to cooperate.

“I’m here with an apology for visiting you so presumptuously, and it’s also at the same time that this storm is coming. As you know, this camp used to be Earth’s capital. Who doesn’t have a family and friends here? Those Level 5 and 6 players haven’t gotten their houses yet. They’re also worried about the storm and the safety of their families.”

Then, Mr. Liu continued to smile.

It was the high-level players in the camp who were demanding for the house. He was speaking for their interests, and this was not something that the group of players present, who were at most Level 3, could change.

“I’ll file a complaint to the higher-ups.” Qi Qi stood up to protest. there were so many high-ranking officials in four nine city who were in the first batch. They were given houses earlier than the players. Why don’t you go and take back their houses? aren’t you looking for a pushover? ”

The middle-aged man with the surname Liu smiled. Ms. Qi Qi, don’t worry. As the news spread, everyone knew that they couldn’t go back to the earth, or that the universe would be destroyed in two years. Therefore, these houses that were once allocated to the upper levels are also in the recycling sequence this time.”

Then, he turned to father Zheng and said, ” brother Zheng, you don’t have to worry. Yun ‘er still has many priest friends. Someone will take care of you and provide you with accommodation.

As soon as he said that, the dozens of relatives of the Zheng family behind him felt their hearts turn cold.

The players who were assigned to the rooms now all had families full of relatives, and they could barely make room for Mr. And Mrs. Zheng.

As for their group of people, that was definitely out of the question.

even the visiting players were not allocated much at the moment. most of them had only set up temporary tents.

“If we were on earth, you wouldn’t have had the chance to speak with your snobbish attitude! No matter what, my cousin sacrificed herself for your ya Nan. Is this how you treat her family?” An adult man from the Zheng family protested loudly.

young master of the Zheng family, times have changed. Mr. Liu said as he stroked his moustache.

it’s no longer the era where you young masters drive sports cars to seal off the roads and use passes to enter important places as if no one was there.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot that young master Zheng’s family background isn’t at that level yet.” At this moment, the middle-aged man surnamed Liu replied with a sneer.

“AI.”

Suddenly, a sigh could be heard.

Suddenly, everyone turned to look at Zhao Xu, the person who had just made the noise.

The middle-aged man with the surname Liu had also noticed the other party with the Ain stone above his head. He was slightly afraid, but he was not too worried.

This was because he had the entire group of players behind him, and also the entire power of Yanan.

As for Zhao Xu, who was once again the center of everyone’s attention, he had his hands behind his back as he looked at the wooden eye on a wooden beam in the room and sighed.

This house, which even high-level players would fight for, was essentially the most simple and crude house, just that it occupied a large area.

It wasn’t difficult for players to build a house outside the city, but the key was safety.

Everyone knew that the house in the center of the camp was the safest. The land here was strictly planned, and one had to have enough ability to build a big house.

As for Zhao Xu sighing, this was the first time he felt that he didn’t pay enough attention to Yoona.

In his previous life, when he was with Yun ‘er, he went to his in-laws’ house even more frequently than he did at home.

At that time, if Zheng xinyun had successfully advanced to become a cleric, she would not even have been introduced to him by the matchmaker, because she had already entered another circle.

Zhao Xu could only blame himself as he looked at the house that had been built too quickly and was also very broken. At this moment, there was a heated battle going on inside the house.

“Yun ‘er’s father and mother, if I give you a chance to go to Yanan capital. Are you planning to go there, or are you going to stay here?” zhao xu asked.

“Naturally, I’ll stay here.” Suddenly, mother Zheng said decisively, ” Yun ‘er was born here and will die Here. I will never leave this place. Otherwise, what if her soul can’t find her home after she dies?”

after saying this, several women around mother zheng’s age started crying.

Everyone else was looking at Zhao Xu with anticipation. Perhaps this wizard would have a way.

“that’s good.” Zhao Xu nodded.

Then, he pressed his hand on the unpainted wall that was made of bare bricks.

in an instant, the wall became hard at a speed visible to the naked eye. at the same time, the mud on the ground turned into mud and climbed up the wall, slowly forming the style of the second floor.

In the next second, countless translucent invisible servants rushed out and picked up the mud and pulp, like diligent servants working on the simple house.

Zhao Xu then took out a level 5 divine spell scroll and started casting it.

“It’s the Holy abode technique!”

A priest player instantly recognized it.

“What is it? How come I’ve never heard of it?”

“That’s a fifth-circle divine spell. From now on, this area will forever be covered with an anti-evil array of the third circle. At the same time, any corpses within the range will not be transformed into undead creatures. Usually, only sacred places like temples would use this.”

Then, the priest’s eyes widened even more as he watched Zhao Xu’s actions.

“He attached an environment-enduring spell to the Holy residence. This is the special effect of the Holy abode, and the additional magic can last for a year. For the following period of time, this area will be warm in winter and cold in summer.”

Oh my God, there’s a death Ward, blessing, remove fear, and remove invisible mayflies.

“What’s wrong?” At this moment, everyone could hear the surprise in the priest’s voice.

“Just the materials alone would cost tens of thousands of gold coins to cast this spell.”

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Zhao Xu, even the middle-aged man.

This was no longer a battle on the same level.

Throwing out tens of thousands of gold coins so casually, everyone knew that the identity of the man in front of them was definitely not ordinary, and even the Earthlings would say otherwise from time to time.

“Go back and report to them that I have given this land to Yoona’s family. It will never be easy.” Zhao Xu said as he looked at Mr. Liu.

as for the middle-aged man surnamed liu, he had a stiff expression on his face. ” mr. sorcerer, i really admire the power you just displayed. ”

but Yanan’s land, according to the original will of the goddess, belongs to our Lord, zhongxia.

Zhao Xu comforted her.

“it’s fine. i’m zhongxia.”
