The Truth of Magic - Chapter 120

120 the path to dossiers (completed with ten thousand words)

the next day, zhao xu saw antonya again in her office at the top of the obelisk.

Zhao Xu’s mood had already calmed down quite a bit, and at the same time, he had completely retracted his aura.

after zhao xu died from the black dragon’s spit, he had traveled back in time to ten years ago. he was at a loss, but he also felt like he was going with the flow.

!!
In fact, in the deepest part of his heart, he couldn’t even be sure if this was a dream.

he might have worked hard for ten years and time-traveled back to the day the game was launched, forever trapped in the cycle of ten years.

It wasn’t until yesterday’s experience that he, who had originally started to drift with the flow, came to his senses.

There were some things in life that were worth everyone pursuing regardless of their own safety.

“It seems that you have gained a lot this time.” antonya was acting out of the ordinary. for the first time ever, she was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and reading the daily newspaper. she was clearly in a good mood.

zhao xu noticed that antonya’s hood seemed to have changed, and the shadow under her hood wasn’t as dark as before, allowing him to more or less see the outline of antonya’s fair face.

“oh, i have something to give you first.” At this moment, Zhao Xu took out the ” little notebook ” that wizard Leo had given him from his pocket.

this booklet is for you. I met a mage who called himself Clayon when I entered a mysterious mine near Central island forest.

“what he means is to let you have the right to choose first.”

zhao xu sat down and slowly recalled what wizard leo had said.

“You’re thinking too much,” Antonya waved her hand gently.

with the power of mage hand, the booklet was thrown into the incense burner in the corner of the living room. after a while, the booklet began to roll and smoke under the pressure of the fire, and it was charred black.

zhao xu didn’t expect this to happen at all.

the booklet that tucker had given up his life for was probably worth less than a stick of incense in antonya’s eyes.

“teacher, are you the one who doesn’t want to accept anything from wizard clayon?”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but start to guess that wizard Leo probably didn’t just offend Antonya a little.

In his previous life, the humans of Earth had obtained the inheritance of the ittell dynasty. After all, this thing didn’t save the ittell dynasty in the end. At most, it was left for the future generations to use as funds to restore their country.

but the secret treasure that pointed to ernest, the king of arcane magic, was something that even the gods would covet.

among the gods of arthur, except for a few powerful divine powers, most of them didn’t have many personal emotions. they had already become one with their own divinity, divine title, and faction. to a certain extent, they had become like abstract symbols.

Divinity was a process of taking away human nature.

therefore, one could imagine how precious it was for it to be able to stir up greed.

antonya stretched out her finger and pointed it at zhao xu.

this action immediately made zhao xu’s heart flutter.

It wasn’t that he was attracted by the scallion-like finger, but that this action was the standard opening move of the level Seven instant death spell, Finger of Death.

This action was so famous that the children in Arthur liked to point at their opponents with this action when they were playing.

However, the children were just playing around. Antonya’s finger, let alone the Finger of Death, was a level nine spell,’decree: even death was a possibility.

But after more than ten seconds, Zhao Xu’s body still didn’t change much.

“mentor?”

zhao xu said helplessly. he suddenly felt that after being apart for more than a week, antonya seemed to have returned to the young girl she was when they first met, and she was starting to like pranking others.

“Ah?” Antonya then said, ” oh, oh, I just read this brief. I was still trying to figure out how that Finger of Death managed to break through a wizard’s protective barrier and kill him.

“that’s strange. the standard of the ordinary wizards in arthur has dropped so much compared to before the age of calamity? I can’t believe that the Finger of Death can kill someone.”

As he listened to Antonya’s complaints, Zhao Xu really wanted to retort back. A seventh-circle wizard was no longer an ordinary wizard.

“teacher, i just asked if you’re not going to accept anything from wizard ryan.”

Zhao Xu knew that it wasn’t good to ask the same question again, but he still felt a little weird that this important little notebook had been burned.

“you think it’s hard to accept that i’ve burned down the things you’ve worked so hard to bring back, right?” All of a sudden, Antonya took control of a thick book of magic and flew it into her hands.

“It’s not hard.” Zhao Xu said in a traditional manner.

this isn’t hard work? I saw you even use your body transformation. antonya said jokingly.

“Teacher, that’s because they’re working hard, not me.” Zhao Xu said.

now that he thought about it, he had used the level nine spell ‘body transformation’ attached to his back in one go.

at the same time, he was fighting with his fists.

It was great, but it was too expensive.

Just the scroll for a level 9 spell cost 3800 gold coins, and if a normal person wanted to cast it, they would have to use a Magic Device at a high enough level. It was easy to imagine how much effort Antonya had put into creating this spell.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu felt even more touched.

“yes. actually, that fool, clayon, is just overthinking.”

antonya turned the book in her hand around and finally remembered the detailed evaluation she had given of ryan.

Zhao Xu had been provoked by Antonya a lot, so he wasn’t in too much of a mood to be excited.

“A fool?”

“That’s right. He thinks that he’s the only smart person in floating city who can see through the world. Back then, he thought that we, the rich and powerful, had the power to control the headquarters of the Sorcerer’s Association, so he didn’t even look at us. It’s just that the goddess didn’t take a fancy to him later on and cut off his path as a priest.”

after all these years, he probably shut himself in for a long time and started to think that we, the old and the young, are actually the puppets of the Association to mediate the private conflicts.

that’s why I said he’s an idiot. He’s been wrong all this time.

antonya’s voice was crisp and clear, and it reverberated in zhao xu’s ears.

zhao xu was starting to understand, but this was also the first time he realized that antonya was referring to him as someone of high status and someone who had been left behind for a long time. he couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “teacher, are you also from a mage family?”

Mages looked down on warlocks because their power came from their bloodline and not from learning.

However, when mages held high positions, they would play the same trick. It was not convenient for them to take in their own nephews as apprentices, so they would exchange apprentices with other mages who had nephews.

Slowly, it became a tradition that mages came from a family of mages.

It was just like the collapse of Ernest’s Arcane Empire.

“oh, then the extremely gossipy lai en, didn’t he tell you my full name?”

Zhao Xu’s interest was suddenly piqued, and he started to recall the surnames of all the big shots in the wizard Association.

“Forget it. I’ll tell you, ITRE Antonya.”

suddenly, countless thunderbolts flashed through zhao xu’s mind. he finally understood why leo wanted him to give the little book to antonya.

Legend had it that the inheritance of the ITRE dynasty was in the hands of the descendants of the ITRE family, which meant that it was in Antonya’s hands?

In his previous life, the Earthlings had been able to struggle through the initial lack of resources. It could be said that the Earthlings had received a favor from the ITRE family.

Zhao Xu didn’t expect to meet a descendant of the ittell family on the first day he entered the game.

“teacher, so you’re the last princess?” zhao xu couldn’t help but start to tease him.

“who told you that i’m the last princess?” antonya said calmly. “however, i burned the book because i knew it was a trap.”

“if you want to participate in this, you should be at least level 5. by then, you’ll be qualified to listen, but only to listen.”

as soon as antonya finished speaking, she immediately turned her sharp gaze towards ryan.

“Ryan, that fool, is also desperate. Thinking that Ernest was able to get his soul back from astymus, he thought that the other party would have the same means in their secret treasure. Why didn’t he think about it? that’s something that others can do with their faces. The problem is, does he even have the face?”

but antonya didn’t continue on this topic. she stood up and put the book back on the shelf. ” tell me about your adventures during this period of time. ”

after hearing this, zhao xu told him everything that had happened. he told him everything from the time he left hurricane city, to the time he met the druid, to the time he went into the mine, and then to how he transformed into a monster and killed his enemies in the storm from crescent town.

“fine. although you rely on your three techniques and keep seeking death by entering dangerous situations, you can’t do anything about it. However, thinking about how he could transform his body, it would be a waste if he didn’t go and have fun. it’s just that the level you came into contact with was too low. if you had dared to attack len, who was at least at the eighth ring, i would have given you an ‘excellent’. ”

zhao xu gritted his teeth when he heard this. if he could obtain the spell-casting abilities of the corresponding creature when he changed his body shape, then he would have the courage to take the initiative and fight back.

the problem was that he had transformed into a blazing god’s servant, and he did not have the level 20 priest’s spellcasting ability of a blazing god’s servant.

“forget it. i shouldn’t have high expectations of you. if you have the same requirements as me, doesn’t that mean you’re as smart as me?”

” yes, yes, yes. my intelligence is only a third of yours, mentor. ” Zhao Xu quickly said, ” but it’s all thanks to your level 9 spell, mentor.

zhao xu still couldn’t help but reminisce about his current state after he had transformed into his original form. it was a pity that after he had killed all of them, he was still in a state of emptiness.

Otherwise, based on Antonya’s level 25 spellcaster level, and the spell’s duration being 10 minutes per spellcaster’s level, he could have played the game for four hours.

“oh, that’s nothing. Temporary spell was a specialty that allowed mages to instill spells into creatures that were willing. Now that you’ve reached Level 2 and have 2HD, you can channel two spells at the same time.”

“I don’t need to spend money?” Zhao Xu asked in a low voice.

of course. Spell level multiplied by spellcaster level, then 100 gold coins. This should be the market price. Antonya said calmly.

9x25x100=22500Gp?

after he figured out the formula, zhao xu suddenly felt his heart ache a little.

He finally understood the price of having a good time.

“you’re heartbroken?” antonya suddenly saw the pained expression on zhao xu’s face and asked curiously.

“Yup,” Zhao Xu agreed.

that’s my money. Why are you so upset? ” antonya tilted her head slightly and looked at zhao xu, feeling a little lost.

she couldn’t even be bothered to count the piles of gold coins left behind by the ittell dynasty.

Not to mention that she could use the wish spell to make gold coins, but she couldn’t be too presumptuous.

“And if you want, I can get you two more. i have more than 30 hanging on my body.” antonya was showing off happily.

As expected, he was a legendary-mage over level 30.

After hearing Antonya’s real level, Zhao Xu was left speechless.

“but you’re level 2 now, so i can arrange some dossiers for you. don’t worry, you’ll only have to master a few new abilities. you’ll know the rest of the basics.”

“But don’t leave Mystra before you reach Level 5. You’ll embarrass me if you’re too weak.”

” then, mentor, shall we take the teleportation portal? ” zhao xu suddenly remembered that on the first day he had arrived at the floating city, the wizard in the black robe had told him that the other girl with the scholar class who used the awakening scroll had used another portal.

“no need,” Antonya’s tone was light.

“aren’t we going to a specialized training place?”

“What are you thinking?” antonya’s eyes were wide open as she looked at zhao xu in her cloak.

from the very beginning, I’ve already told you that I’m a double elite mage and a dossiers with potential points.
