The Truth of Magic - Chapter 206

206 Half-plane

right, about the arrangements for your ‘iron will’ trial. reyan suddenly said to zhao xu.

“What, is there a change?”

Zhao Xu’s heart was as calm as still water for a while, even though this was his first time obtaining a God equipment. He had gained quite a lot from this trip to the pit fiend.

!!
furthermore, he had just leveled up, so it was time for him to strengthen himself.

As for [ iron will ], which was a free specialty that could be obtained as long as he passed the trial, he was not in such a hurry.

However, if Zhao Xu were to complete that trial before he came in …

then, he could have used the book of ten thousand spells to directly use the two chaos spells on himself and turn the specialty ‘iron will’ into the target specialty he wanted.

“it’s nothing. in order to find the pit fiend, my two subordinates who were waiting in line for the trial were called over. Thus, after you disappeared, I had the two girls go to the ‘carrion cave’ by themselves to undergo their training.”

reyan gave zhao xu a “you know what i mean” look and said, “that way, you can go in at 12 noon tomorrow, and you’ll be the hero saving the damsel in distress.”

zhao xu knew that reyan was going crazy again.

Although the two women were not afraid of the gnomes but the rats, the gnomes were determined people. They would not ask him to save the damsel in distress.

“Hey, you don’t believe me, but let me tell you this in private. When I was level 12, I went to the ‘scavenger cave’ trial and puked for at least two days. Otherwise, how do you think this trial trains one’s will?”

after some mages failed, they even gave up when they had a chance to do so again, because they left too deep of a trauma. Reyan continued to threaten Zhao Xu.

” master, you really have to be careful. i seem to have some impression of the trial points for these extra abilities. ” lacus interjected at this moment.

Ever since Reyan appeared, she had been keeping quiet. he had waited until this moment to speak.

Zhao Xu also noticed that Reyan had mentioned that he would only go to the trial when he reached level 12.

Even a mage who could cast a sixth-circle spell would be afraid, yet the floating city was still willing to let the three of them go for the trial.

clearly, it wasn’t just a test of strength.

“When you get there, you’ll know. Actually, the lower the level, the easier it is to pass this trial. It’s just that most people don’t get to take part in it when they’re at a lower level. i arranged for the three of you at the beginning so that you can encourage and help each other. it was more or less to relieve you of your troubles.”

Reyan continued explaining to Zhao Xu, ” but now, you’ve split up because of an accident, and it takes two days to finish the trial. If you don’t come out after five days, you’ll have failed. That’s why I can guarantee that you’ll meet them on the way.”

“Is it that difficult?” Zhao Xu continued to confirm with Reyan with a hint of suspicion.

“Ah, it’s not difficult. The main thing is that that place is too strange and mysterious. it could replenish the spirituality of the people who entered the trial and condense a specialty. However, because of this, the Association can’t interfere. If you don’t come out after five days, the Association will send people in to save you.”

Zhao Xu thought to himself after he heard this. Did this mean that he was going to have to rely on himself?

Fortunately, he had already finished copying the level 2 divine spell in the final scroll space, so it was no longer a problem.

when he was ready for tomorrow’s spell, he would have 4 2nd-circle arcane spell slots and 3 2nd-circle divine spell slots. with the help of a multi-talented spellcaster, he could stack up to 11 2nd-circle spell slots.

It was only at this moment that Zhao Xu dared to say that he was the number one player in terms of pure combat power.

” master, i think that the trial site is probably from an interdimensional space. you will only be going to the entrance of that place tomorrow. ” Lacus gave him more information.

When Zhao Xu heard this, his head started to hurt.

A half-plane was an immature plane accessory. In layman’s terms, it was generally an artificial small world.

When Zhao Xu was in the final scroll’s projection space, he had seen a total of 27 dimensions in the wheel of the planes. the world that zhao xu was in right now was the main material plane of arthur, and this was the world that was closest to the normal lives of ordinary races.

above that were the three transitional planes, the spirit world, the astral world, and the shadow world. In the past, the spirit could not be seen because it was hidden in the spirit world. It was precisely because the spirit world overlapped with the Prime Material Plane that it could be revealed.

then there were the six inner planes, which were the positive and negative energy planes, and the four elemental planes. The Super large fire elemental that Zhao Xu had seen before had been summoned from the fire elemental Plane.

and after that, there were 17 other dimensions. the pit fiend that zhao xu had just fought with was from baator, one of the nine hells.

Other than the main material plane, most of these planes had their own characteristics, time, and space.

these 27 main planes were basically infinite in size.

The half-plane attached to them had an area scale and immature plane characteristics. It might not even be as large as the floating city.

Zhao Xu had seen the ” illustrated guide to legendary spells ” in the legendary library before, and it mentioned a legendary spell that could create a ” half plane “.

Basically, for high-level mages, the mage Tower was their first base.

The Hidden Half-plane was the second base.

For example, many legendary Wizards in floating city would hide their main body and use the level 9 spell astral projection to split their soul and reach the astral world to form an astral body with the same strength. Then, they would rely on the astral body to take risks.

but even though he was thinking about it, zhao xu understood that the interdimensional space had its own special rules, and it naturally wouldn’t be so easy.

then he would really have to wake her up at noon tomorrow.

by the way, Andy’s family members were released after they were checked. reyan said to zhao xu through the telepathic bond, ” the members of their family will be under surveillance from now on. luckily, there aren’t many of them. ”

zhao xu knew that once a family was infected by a demon, it would definitely be impossible for them to continue their family line. they would definitely fall under the invisible hands of the floating city.

” but some of their family’s treasures have been seized. you can go back and take a look. there might be something you need. ”

reyan knew that zhao xu had asked for andy’s notebook before, so he guessed that he might need the other things left behind by her ancestors.

“Yes, thank you.” At this moment, Zhao Xu finally realized how useful he was as a probationary member of Rose Cross. At least now, he could go and look through those things openly.

But as Zhao Xu was thinking about this, his thoughts drifted elsewhere.

when he returned to the floating city, he was actually going to visit another family.

According to the notebook, three of the descendants of the Group of Seven who had gone to explore the mysterious tomb were now living in Mystra.

andy’s book was in his hands, and the commander’s book was in his hands as well, which allowed him to be promoted by one rank after the merger.

this also made him look forward to the third notebook.

if it was also an upgrade effect, didn’t that mean he was on his way to the third ring?

Every time a mage’s level increased by one, it meant that their strength would increase by more than 50%. If he reached Level 5, he would be able to maintain an overwhelming advantage over the players for at least three months.

suddenly, reyan’s expression changed. he didn’t even care about the telepathic bond anymore and said to zhao xu, ” i’ll get someone to send you to a nearby town first, and then you can go and participate in that trial tomorrow. someone will make the arrangements. i’ll go deal with the problem first.”

After that, Zhao Xu was teleported to the town where they were supposed to rest and then go to exterminate the bandits.

Zhao Xu didn’t say much. Under the arrangements of the staff, they booked a room at the largest hotel in town for the night and then stayed there alone.

“Lacus? what did you do to it?” zhao xu asked in a low voice after the people who had escorted him here had left.

“hehe, master, why are you so smart? i’m not used to it.” said lux.

“is it really you?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but be curious. Something that could cause Reyan’s expression to change so drastically was obviously not a small matter.

“master, you don’t remember what happened to you in the land of death where you stored the thirteen stone coffins?” Said Lux.

“I definitely won’t.” Zhao Xu immediately replied. That was where Lux had appeared to talk to him and then played her little devil’s game.

” i’m also curious about how master could be so patient. even now, you didn’t ask me why those people died on the same day. ” Lacus said unhappily.

“Hahaha.” zhao xu couldn’t help but laugh. ” go ahead then, lacus. ”

those priests committed suicide together for their artificial death project.

“Resurrect the death god?” zhao xu didn’t think that he would one day be able to talk about gods in public.

“it’s not strict,” Lacus finally felt guilty, so she communicated with him in a soft voice.

” in fact, the group of priests used their own lives as the price to squeeze out the last bit of vitality from the god of death’s divine weapon. from there, they created an artificial life form, and finally allowed the god of death to successfully return from that life form. ” said lacus.

“then what was that just now?” zhao xu was suddenly a little surprised.

master, this is where the priests are stupid. Once the artificial life form has the ability to think, it will definitely not be satisfied with its fate of being a substitute.

“after it met me back then, it kept begging me to call it” big sister “and” big sister.”it made me very comfortable. i taught it a cutting ritual, and it had just activated the ritual and moved the land of death away. with the blessing of the altar’s power of concealment, it can last for another one or two years without a problem.”

“we can’t do anything about this.” Zhao Xu lowered his head and said.

“yes, master, but it will come to find you in the future.”

“ah, you’re looking for me?” zhao xu didn’t understand.

“who asked you to appear there and not die? After entering that room, unless you die very quickly, you will slowly gain the effects of the ritual. In other words, you are not allowed to obtain the godhood of the death god.” said lux.

Zhao Xu pursed his lips when he heard this. He had a lot of things to do, so he didn’t have to worry about his debts. In that case, he would just have to wait in line for the artificial life forms.

———————

Zhao Xu still went offline before dinner that night. Out of caution, he stayed in the hotel and used some of his remaining spell slots and copied some scrolls.

It was Zhang Qi’s birthday party with his girlfriend tonight, so it wasn’t surprising that he wasn’t in his dorm. However, Zhao Xu didn’t expect the other two to be absent as well.

At this moment, Zhao Xu turned on his computer as usual and then he looked at the trending posts on the forum.

He was instantly stunned.

Should he act cool or not?
