The Truth of Magic - Chapter 219
219 Third-circle wizard
after zhao xu asked about the bartender, he went up to the private room on the second floor without thinking.
it was because he knew that the other party was a player.
back when he was in hurricane city looking for a smuggling caravan to leave the city, he had deliberately looked for caesar, who was an underground force. the first thing he had done was to show him his identity as a spell caster.
because he knew that unless he used those three techniques, it would be difficult for him to fight against four people with two fists.
therefore, his identity as a spellcaster was his barrier.
And when he went upstairs, his identity as a player was his barrier.
however, he didn’t expect that arthur had been online for one and a half months.
for players like waland who had successfully gotten into arthur’s local forces, they didn’t rely on their levels but on their own business methods.
he didn’t even say anything when they met, and he was forcing them to buy or sell, or even snatch their equipment?
the gods had not died yet, and their evil acts had not yet reached the point where they could be carried out in broad daylight.
Zhao Xu suddenly understood.
perhaps his own robe was being looked down upon.
even though he was carrying a netherworld scythe on his back, his lack of armor directly showed that he was not a warrior.
Currently, in Arthur’s wizard community, there was only one level 4 wizard and four level 2 Wizards. The players on the forum jokingly called them one God and four Emperors.
It sounded very domineering, but it also implied that most other mages were just Level 1 noobs.
As for most of the basic professions, the level two ladder teams had slowly become more abundant.
but zhao xu was helpless.
He was here to seek information, not to kill.
This group of players might have one or two of these magical weapons, but that also meant that only the person who had a magical weapon would be able to threaten Zhao Xu.
The other party naturally became Zhao Xu’s main target.
when other people tried to attack zhao xu with normal weapons, they would only be destroyed by his cloak.
but just as zhao xu was thinking about this, the few native arthur guards who were in charge of guarding the door at the start started to surround zhao xu.
Even the young man who had been sitting on the sofa at the start took out a crossbow and aimed it at Zhao Xu.
arthur’s freedom gave the players too many possibilities.
it also caused some players to suddenly rise to high positions just because of the NPC’s favorability, but at the same time, it also brought about a rift that did not deserve it.
“Are you sure you want to fight me?” Zhao Xu kept his smile on as he looked at the people in front of him.
He was assessing the range of his attacks if he were to make a move.
“Idiot. i’ll give you a chance, throw those two pieces of equipment down, or else we’ll wait for you outside the temple and kill you five times. at that time, your account won’t have the talent points.” The young man with the crossbow said.
He was certain that the other party would throw down their equipment and surrender.
Arthur’s death penalty was too heavy for everyone to bear, so it naturally became an effective threat to them.
In the beginning, their group had been able to join the fallen star Lake mining pit Union Association because they had robbed players and Arthur’s residents to accumulate their first capital.
originally, they had not committed such blatant robbery.
however, the fact that this noob player had two pieces of magical equipment on him ineffably incited their greed.
Or rather, after the player took off his equipment and made the first step of concession, he had no choice.
they could then proceed to the second step of interrogating him about the source of the equipment.
The thousands of gold coins in exchange chips had been placed on the table more than once, but no one had been able to take them away easily.
As long as the other party was willing to take the first step back, it would be the beginning of their manipulation.
They were basically familiar with this kind of behavior, so when Wolan showed a hunting look at the beginning, they began to play their respective roles.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was busy estimating his own rage points.
he had to decide when he couldn’t stand it anymore and directly clear out everyone present.
At the same time, before that, he had to ask first, in case these people died without knowing why.
“Is this how you treat someone who just came up to ask for information?” zhao xu asked with a smile.
“You’re quite calm. You’re much better than the last time when you went offline without a care.” The woman sitting at the edge said with a smile.
She was still wearing the apprentice priest’s robe, which was engraved with the divine pattern of the God of wrath.
After hearing what the other party said, Zhao Xu could only express his grief for the previous innocently-logging off would only cause his body to fall into a deep sleep and stay in Arthur.
Naturally, the Rogue’s ‘hand skill’ could be used to steal the player’s equipment.
forget it, we’ve made a name for ourselves. After you throw the equipment on the ground, take the bag of money and get lost.
wolland continued to speak in a cold tone, but on the other hand, she was also trying to break down zhao xu’s psychological defenses.
if he lowered the price to the limit at the beginning and then raised it a little higher, it would be easy for the other party to feel that he was doing him a favor.
But they were up against Zhao Xu, who was looking at them like they were idiots.
this feeling, which was the complete opposite of what it usually was, made everyone present feel as if they had encountered a different candidate this time.
it was not as easy as he had expected.
Suddenly, the young man who was holding the crossbow pulled the trigger and an ” arrow ” flew straight at Zhao Xu.
the young man also showed a cruel smile.
When someone tried to delay, they naturally had to speed up the pace.
Therefore, they had formulated a detailed plan from the beginning. As long as the other party refused to bow down, they would have to use a ruthless method to hurt the other party first.
The weakened state made it easier to disintegrate will.
the young man was usually very confident that he would be able to hit zhao xu with an 80 to 90% chance of hitting him. but now, the arrow was flying straight at zhao xu. zhao xu couldn’t even dodge it because of the four guards ‘weapons.
However, just as the arrow was about to Pierce into Zhao Xu’s body and just as it touched the outer layer of the cloak, a sky full of Starlight suddenly poured down.
The originally indestructible, specially customized arrow was directly destroyed by the Starlight.
even under the intense starlight and the rain of arrows, it was still useless.
just as everyone was still trying to figure out what was going on …
“sparkling dust!”
the name of the spell was the only thing that everyone remembered.
the blinding golden smoke that was even more intense than the starlight exploded on the spot and spread towards the entire box.
“ah!”
“my eyes! why can’t i see him?”
“Don’t get too excited!”
“you’re blind, don’t panic.”
“sparkling dust” was a powerful second-circle spell that could blind.
it forcibly created eye-piercing golden particles that floated in the air. basically, any living creature that was covered by it would be unable to hide, and even invisible creatures would be revealed.
Therefore, magic resistance had no effect on it, and only will immunity could determine whether or not it would fall into a state of blindness.
By the time everyone’s eyes recovered, the entire room was shining with golden light, and everyone’s bodies were stained with the particles that had just been created by the spell.
But their target, Zhao Xu, disappeared after he cast that spell.
The whole process was shockingly fast, so fast that no one could react in time, and it also disrupted their plan.
“Let’s retreat first.” The leader of these players, Waland, finally said with a nervous expression. She knew that they had kicked a rock this time.
“what’s wrong?” the girl in the corner of the five said.
Although she also felt that something was wrong, she was still a little indignant.
the door of the private room had not been opened since the beginning.
but they couldn’t find any trace of zhao xu at all, and there was no way he could have hidden himself under the effects of a spell with such a special effect like sparkling dust.
the only reason was that the other party was invisible.
And it was done behind the glittering dust.
a few of the young men who knew about the “sparkling dust” and the “invisibility technique” were also feeling uneasy, just like their previous prey.
They had been hit head-on by an iron plate!
“Hurry up and run.” the oldest of the five, a middle-aged man, gritted his teeth and said.
They looked down on first-circle mages because they had limited spell slots.
But now, the situation had clearly reversed.
The other party was obviously teasing them with a high-circle mage.
he should be a native wizard. I was wrong. Wolland said to himself. At this moment, a group of people had already started to crowd around the door.
everyone knew that there was a grim reaper who was about to reap their lives in the room, but no one dared to expose this fact.
With trembling hands, the guard inserted the key into the door that was originally locked from the inside and twisted it with great difficulty.
suddenly, he heard a death announcement behind him.
“fireball.”
—————
the bar counter of the slightly drunk bar was already quite lively at this time. a few gamblers even started to bet on what would be left on the young man with the huge sickle when he came down.
However, most gamblers bet that the young man would never walk down the stairs again.
just as they raised their glasses and were about to clink their glasses to the next bet …
bang! there was a loud sound, followed by the sound of all kinds of debris falling to the ground and shattering.
At the same time, the aftermath of the explosion made everyone present feel as if the ground and the wine glasses had been shaken.
They all looked at the private room on the second floor in a daze. There was only one group of people on the entire second floor.
were there mysterious explosives on the second floor?
A few of the guards who had been keeping an eye on the situation downstairs saw that something was wrong and were about to move to the second floor.
However, their path was blocked.
A male mage with a hood and a giant scythe on his back appeared from the corner of the second floor and walked down lightly.
Throughout the entire process, his pace was not fast, but no one dared to stop him, as if he was the incarnation of death.
as for the bartender, from the moment he saw the man, he knelt under the bar counter and didn’t dare to move for fear of attracting attention.
It was only after the mage had officially walked out of the tavern that the guards gathered their courage and rushed up to the second floor.
immediately after, the guards ‘exclamations were heard-
“dead, finished, they’re all dead,”
in an instant, all the drunkards in the tavern woke up with a start.
They were very clear about the combat power of those on the upper floor. They could easily wipe out the dozens of players on the first floor.
At this time, he thought of the faint smell of sulfur in the air and the violent explosion.
A customer who had been a wizard apprentice for more than half a year said with a respectful and envious look-
“Fireball.”
” that’s a 3rd-circle wizard! ”
