The Truth of Magic - Chapter 162

162 Origin’s oath

Zhao Xu hadn’t even recovered from the shock of the legendary wizard’s bizarre suicide. When he heard the voice in the air, he almost sprained his back.

dear big brother, it’s time to calculate the rewards. You should quickly pick two advancement.

“isn’t this too much of a joke?”

!!
Zhao Xu was a little confused.

now, he would definitely not be so foolish as to think that it was a real legendary-mage, but a projection created by the will of the stone tablet.

It was simply to give him a good performance and then give him a reward.

this technique was so crude that even a layman like zhao xu couldn’t stand it.

“it’s not a child’s play. the main thing is that the aura of an expert on you is too strong. even the legendary-mages i summoned from history would be so ashamed that they would commit suicide on the spot when they saw you. ai, there’s nothing we can do about it. a talented and handsome man like big brother can’t be hidden from the world.”

The will in the void sighed, ” “If it wasn’t for me, Qi Qi’s strength, this space wouldn’t be able to withstand big brother’s unparalleled pressure and would have collapsed on the spot.”

Zhao Xu pursed his lips. He was already bragging to the point of no end.

at this time, his legs were a little numb from standing, so he raised his heel slightly and shook it.

suddenly, the entire ground started shaking. with zhao xu’s heel as the center, a huge shockwave spread out from the depths of the ground and shot up into the sky.

The originally calm lake in front of him suddenly exploded as if water Thunder had exploded at the bottom of the lake. After a huge boom, a tornado-like water curtain spewed out into the sky, turning into a drizzle.

then, the duck that had been swimming around leisurely was sent flying by the shockwave. it fell in an arc in front of zhao xu and fainted.

following that, the continuous mountain range further away was directly split apart from the middle by the shock wave, before slowly sinking down.

the afternoon scenery suddenly turned into a scene of desolation.

zhao xu grinned and glanced at his own heel.

If he was like this in the real world, it wouldn’t be a power, but a burden.

He felt that this will of the stone tablet that called itself Qi Qi was a little clumsy in its flattery.

but it didn’t seem like he could use common sense to understand this stone stele, so zhao xu decided to change his train of thought and try to talk to the other party about something else.

zhao xu turned around and realized that the stone bench behind him had disappeared the moment he stood up.

however, just as he was about to turn back, the green grass suddenly swelled up.

Then, the branch broke out of the ground and became extremely thick, as if it had been growing for a hundred years. Then, the tree trunk twisted and became flat and straight, turning into an original wooden chair.

Zhao Xu nodded. He was just sucking up to her, but the level of service she provided was not too bad.

He sat on the chair and looked at the blue sky, asking, ” “when did you gain consciousness?”

this way, zhao xu could find out if the molin stone stele he had met during the dark age had a consciousness. he even wondered if the mysterious projection was just a way for the other party to make fun of him.

“big brother, your question hit the mark. they weren’t like the sleazy mages who had come to the trial before me. they wanted to curry favor with me, but they didn’t know where to start. a few of them were so glib and sly that i hated them. sure enough, big brother’s sincere and earnest attitude is the most simple. i’m really touched, wuwuwu.”

The Voice in the Void started to sob.

“Eh? May I ask my question?” zhao xu realized that the topic had been unknowingly changed, so he couldn’t help but continue to ask.

“Oh, oh, about that.” The voice suddenly returned to normal, as if what had just happened was just a tape. my Uncle Ernest passed by the Forest of Miracles one day and saw my Strange Bones. He thought I could bring him eternal luck, so he used a spell that could enlighten items to stimulate me. the voice was no longer as excited as it was at the beginning. it sounded a little lonely.

“the forest of miracles?” Zhao Xu immediately noticed this name.

“It’s right below the floating city, Mystra. In that era, the Dark Age you mages call the Age of Darkness, Mystra was nothing more than a broken forest.”

Zhao Xu immediately realized what was going on.

antonya had told him to travel a thousand years back to the dark age, but he had never left mystra.

As the place where the third goddess of magic became a God, Mystra itself had extraordinary significance.

this stone tablet that had been enchanted by the arcane king, ernest, had also appeared in ancient times.

perhaps there was a deeper secret behind it.

“Did Emperor Ernest take you away after that?” Zhao Xu continued to ask.

This was related to Ernest’s Secret treasure and the inheritance of the ittell dynasty, so Zhao Xu was a little curious.

“Of course. Master Ernest gave me the name Qiqi, and then he transformed me into a miniature version and carried me with him.”

after hearing this, zhao xu knew that when he transmigrated back to this world, ernest hadn’t enlightened this stone tablet yet. perhaps ernest hadn’t even been born at that time.

“Then why are you called Qiqi?” zhao xu asked. usually, magic items and even godly items would have very cool names.

“Because he met me on the 7th of July. He said that it was a memorable day.” the voice in the air said desolatedly.

“Then why did you call me big brother?” zhao xu said as if he didn’t care.

his eyes also revealed a serious look as he looked at the boundless sky.

“Because I can tell who will rule this world.”

the voice in the air had a smug look on its face. ” let me reintroduce myself. i have another name-the stone of destiny. ”

“I still have the divine fragment of the God of fate with me.” The voice in the air was getting more and more smug.

zhao xu’s face was full of question marks.

even though zhao xu had just started to learn about the wizardry world. however, having read a few books, he was still clear about one thing.

when a god obtained a divine fragment, they would consolidate and even obtain the corresponding divine title.

therefore, a piece of materialized godhead fragment was completely a crime for an innocent man.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t the goddess of magic, sisylvana, be the one to collect the fragment?

“oh, oh, i almost forgot. big brother, you are that little sith’s priest. you must be wondering why she didn’t come and take my fragment, right?”

zhao xu felt that he had to correct the way the other party had addressed the goddess of magic as little sith.

even if zhao xu could return to being a priest, he still had to do his part.

however, the man’s words had piqued zhao xu’s curiosity, so he suppressed his thoughts.

“that’s because sisylvana’s divine fragment came from me. If she didn’t swear to Arthur’s destiny that she would protect me in the final battle, I wouldn’t even bother with her. ”

at this moment, the stone tablet finally addressed the goddess of magic by her name, although it was not very respectful.

But when he heard about the final battle, Zhao Xu knew that it would be best for his curiosity to end here.

If a newbie like him Knew Too Much about doomsday-related information, he could easily suffer mishaps.

“Then what kind of advancement do you think is suitable for me?” Zhao Xu asked.

Now that they were talking about the void will’s itch, it immediately became excited. “this, oh, oh. when you were sitting down, antonya burned a note for me. That ignorant boy oz also burned a note for me. i’ll see what it is.”

Even though Zhao Xu was just waiting to be arranged, when he heard Antonya mention the name of the wizard Association’s President, oz, in such a disdainful manner, he couldn’t help but ask, ” “aren’t you afraid that they’ll slip away one day by calling them that?”

“Haha, Antonya didn’t receive any benefits from me, that’s another story. Back then, oz was just a level 5 noob, but he was crying to me about how difficult it was to be a mage. Later on, I really sympathized with him, so I told him how to awaken the leadership ability. This way, he only awakened this ability after Level 6, and from then on, everything went smoothly.” the voice in the air said indifferently.

After Zhao Xu heard this, he felt that it would be best for him to forget about this. The young and inexperienced history of these great figures was truly too embarrassing.

“oh, respected big brother, the two advancements they recommended to you are ‘super magic sculptor’ and ‘rune guardian’. well, osis can’t do anything, but his eyes for advancement are not bad.”

zhao xu squinted his eyes. he had heard antonya mention the rune guardian before, and it was because of this class that she was able to cast wish without any cost. this was a spell that originally required a huge price to cast.

it wasn’t strange to arrange for him to advance now.

He did not have much of an impression of a Supreme magic sculptor, but he believed that she should be strong enough.

“big brother, i’ll run a simulation for you first. that way, you’ll be able to feel the two advanced abilities in advance. from then on, they won’t pose any barriers to you.”

“after you reach level 5, you just have to prepare according to the knowledge i’ll impart to you later. you’ll have to learn the skills even earlier. Then, when fate favors you and allows you to reach Level 6, you can directly advance to these two advancements on the spot. It’s completely natural.” the voice in the void said cautiously.

zhao xu understood what was going on after hearing this. this was the same way he had thought about the spells he had obtained in the final scroll.

he nodded and said, “shall we start?”

“yes, we have to go through a procedure first.” qi qi, who was in the void, said awkwardly, “even a dual-class like you, big brother, can only advance through one route. now that i have arranged for you to advance through two routes, it is not very convenient.”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he understood.

in other words, he could only choose either the mage or archivist path to advance, and the other path could only advance his original basic class.

“Is there a way to break it?” zhao xu asked.

“There is, there is, big brother. all he had to do was make a big oath and get the magic source to agree. For example, some monks will make an oath of poverty, so that they can no longer obtain wealth, but at the same time, they can obtain additional abilities with each level.” qi qi explained.

“Then what kind of oath would it be?” Zhao Xu asked.

“Just swear to defend magic until you die.” stone tablet 7qi explained.

“I swear to defend magic until I die?” Zhao Xu repeated. He felt that his lines were a little Chuunibyou.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have made an oath to the source of magic,’defend magic to death’. ]
