The Truth of Magic - Chapter 268
268 Chapter 267-mysterious Golem
the first two times zhao xu had entered the projection space of the final scroll, he had used the dimensional door to get to the mysterious room that was constantly moving.
After that, he would pass the test in the mysterious room and enter the final scroll’s thousands of ‘projection spaces’.
This was also the reason why Zhao Xu hadn’t run into anyone in there.
!!
The space he was in was created by the scroll, so he was naturally the only one there.
“Instructor, are we not going to use the ‘Xiang plane gate’ this time?” zhao xu said as he followed behind antonya.
” yes, because that space hasn’t come over these two days. ” antonya had already put the book ” divine demiplane ” in her hands together, but she didn’t put it down. instead, she continued to carry it around with her.
This also made Zhao Xu’s heart feel a little heavy.
the other party had probably been reading this book for a long time, but he still couldn’t figure out the way to solve it.
At this moment, Antonya had already led Zhao Xu to the door of truth, the laboratory area that was unique to her on the seventh floor. The environment around them was very quiet.
Zhao Xu could also recognize quite a few of the facilities.
For example, the “energy channel self-stabilizing device” and the “channel buffer anti-lock well” were magic devices that were only involved in the research of positive and negative energy planes.
In the end, Antonya brought Zhao Xu to a unique “alchemy lift” and they went down more than ten levels.
“This is still the seventh floor?” zhao xu concluded, even though he kept feeling the familiar sense of weightlessness when he took the elevator.
“That’s right. My ‘door of truth’ laboratory only occupies one floor. However, magic experiments could easily cause a huge explosion, and it would not be surprising if the entire floating city was destroyed. That’s why most of the time, buildings need to be equipped with a large amount of energy buffer and absorption barriers, so naturally, a large amount of space has to be opened up again. Otherwise, the entire floating city won’t even be enough for me. ”
“sigh, this is the most expensive cost.” antonya complained.
The elevator doors quickly opened and Zhao Xu followed Antonya out of the elevator.
he could vaguely tell that the products in the alchemy elevator alone were more advanced than those in the other buildings in the floating city.
as zhao xu observed the details of the journey, he continuously reconstructed the three-dimensional image of this space in his mind.
The speed at which time was falling, as well as the speed at which he was walking at every moment and the total number of steps he took, all became Zhao Xu’s own measuring tape.
” there’s no need to look. i will swap this space every three months. ” Antonya immediately realized why Zhao Xu was walking at the same pace as she did, so she explained to him. there’s a saying in Arthur: no matter how strong a thief is, they can’t do anything to a hardworking mage.
zhao xu was still trying to figure out the meaning behind her words when he realized that antonya had already brought him to a large door.
the metallic steel door stood in front of the two of them, and zhao xu almost thought that he had returned to modern society.
” this kind of forged steel was originally used to make a golem, but it was difficult to inject and mold the whole body, so i used it as a gate here. a million gold coin gate is cool, right? ” Antonya watched all of this with a happy smile.
after zhao xu convinced himself that he shouldn’t ruin antonya’s image, he nodded his head to a certain extent.
at this moment, he noticed that the two sides of the giant stone doors had a protruding hemispherical platform, and on it was a hollow palm print.
“deliberately separated?” Zhao Xu noticed this.
It was actually a door that could only be opened when two people arrived.
although a wizard’s shapeshifting spell could also solve this problem, it was a bit of a novelty.
“okay, go to the left and press it.” after antonya said that, she walked to the opposite right.
Zhao Xu looked at the handprint on it and placed it on his left hand as well. The back of his hand still had the faint imprint of Lux’s incarnation.
She didn’t know why, but ever since she had entered this laboratory, she had been silent and didn’t take the initiative to talk to Zhao Xu.
After Zhao Xu put down his handprint, he immediately felt a mysterious force of attraction coming from the stone plate.
but he didn’t resist, and let go of his heart.
in an instant, one of zhao xu’s current level 2 spell slots disappeared.
Then, another level 2 spell slot disappeared.
It was as if a string of beads had been broken, and in an instant, all the spells in Zhao Xu’s mind had been completely absorbed.
In that instant, he lost all his spell slots and the sense of security they gave him.
but zhao xu didn’t panic. he looked at antonya in surprise and said, ” “can’t we perform the anti-summoning ritual just because we have spell slots?”
“that’s right.” Antonya explained. This was the first time that she had ever spoken in such a gentle tone.
At this moment, the two of them used up all their spell slots.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you are currently under the effect of ‘anti-magic field’. ]
zhao xu was shocked and immediately turned to look at her, but the darkness behind antonya’s hood was still there.
he still couldn’t see the other party’s face clearly.
As expected, it was the “darkness” created by the artifact.
In the beginning, he had cast a truth-seeing spell that allowed him to see through the darkness, but now, the entire environment had fallen into an anti-magic field, and the darkness under Antonya’s hood was still shrouding her.
he had never seen through her.
However, after everyone had used up all their spell slots and fell into the ‘anti-magic field’. ..
this meant that this was the most vulnerable moment antonya had ever experienced since she became a legendary wizard.
She had no more spells.
Naturally, he couldn’t use spells to bypass the restrictions of the ‘anti-magic field’, and all the magic equipment lost their effects.
this included the “necklace” that antonya was currently wearing that could stop her body from moving.
The difference between Zhao Xu and Antonya was also the smallest he had seen since he’d met her.
the other party could only rely on the divine weapon.
And Zhao Xu also had a godly item.
“I knew it!” At this moment, lacus, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly jumped out and said, ” master, pounce on her and suppress her. This is the key to achieving great things.
zhao xu frowned as he listened to lux’s suggestion, which was already leaning towards being ” evil ” in his mind. he said to himself, stop it.
no, master. If you start now, you’ll have at least half of floating city’s power. There are more than three magic books on the bookshelf just now that can help you level up on the spot. If you look at the entire floating city, it’s not even a dream to become a legendary tomorrow.
Lacus started to give Zhao Xu a new plan for the future.
I’ve seen an entire row of divine gear in Antonya’s treasure room. Can you take them all on by yourself? ” zhao xu couldn’t help but ask lux in return.
As expected, lacus immediately stopped talking.
“Yes, go in.”
antonya didn’t notice anything strange about zhao xu.
At this moment, the originally tightly sealed high-hardness steel door began to turn the transmission chain under the effect of mechanical gears. The door slowly opened up, revealing two mysterious large golems inside.
Zhao Xu didn’t take the lead in stepping into this space that was made of pure steel on the other five sides.
he noticed that each side was carved with a fixed ritualistic magic array.
it was just like the magic circles and runes on the ground of the arcane throne that he had once sat on.
Teleportation? Summon? An Alliance agreement?
Zhao Xu was able to instantly make out a few ideas from the runes that were inscribed into the ritual.
He also seized the time to copy the mysterious runes that had been carved into his mind.
“go in and sit inside the golems.” antonya said.
The two mysterious golems were six meters tall, but the material used to make them was different from the common iron golems, clay golems, stone golems, and even physical golems. They were completely made of mysterious steel with extremely high hardness.
The mysterious Golem slowly opened the two-layer cabin door on its chest, revealing a cockpit space large enough to accommodate one person.
Gundam?
zhao xu couldn’t help but have this thought.
Golems were automatic devices constructed by magic power. the process of creating a golem usually involved the use of powerful magic and elemental power.
the creation of a golem itself was the act of injecting the unwilling souls of the earth elemental plane into the interior of a ” golem. ”
But when Zhao Xu looked at this mysterious Gundam Golem, it didn’t seem to have any soul fluctuations at all. It was completely dead.
teacher, let’s sit in and activate the ritual to reverse-summon us to the space of the final scroll? ” zhao xu asked.
“that’s right.” Antonya replied quickly.
At this moment, the Gundam Golem knelt down on the ground and stretched out its hands at the same time, allowing Antonya to use its momentum to get up.
The golem in front of Zhao Xu did the same thing.
Zhao Xu saw that Antonya didn’t need any support from him, and she just got into the cabin.
He also entered the cabin of the mysterious Golem at the same time.
“Teacher, when can we enter through the main entrance?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask after he managed to crawl in.
“When you become a legendary-mage.” As soon as Antonya finished speaking, the entire cabin door closed.
The interior of this mysterious Golem had automatic lighting, and there was a mirror in front of it that could directly see the outside situation.
It really did look like a Gundam?
or was this the floating city’s future war machine?
suddenly, zhao xu felt the entire ground start to shake.
“Master, we can replicate the anti-summoning ritual circle we just saw. In the future, you’ll be able to enter the ‘scroll’ space by yourself.” lacus analyzed.
“lacus, do you know what the most typical ability of a golem is?” zhao xu couldn’t help but correct him.
“magic immunity,”
“We want to sit on the mysterious Golem because there will be a huge Arcane Torrent coming in from the outside world. We need the magic immunity ability to resist it.”
zhao xu explained to lux in a bad mood.
the moment he entered, he had already realized the purpose of this golem.
if he tried to replicate the ritual circle, he would be killed by the arcane energy.
“But master, why did you set up such a back door?” Suddenly, lacus asked the question that had been on Zhao Xu’s mind for a long time.
“A question of ranking?” zhao xu suddenly had an idea and voiced his guess.
