The Truth of Magic - Chapter 302

302 the notebook in the stone room

Seeing the soul catcher’s strange shape that was beyond everyone’s imagination, the members of the union fell into silence.

the appearance of this undead creature was completely different from the skeletons and zombies that they had seen before. it looked more like an alien.

If they had met in the wilderness, their first reaction would have been to treat them as enemies. How could they have become ” teammates ” so quickly?

Especially after Zhao Xu had used two fireballs to kill over a hundred goblins and two Instant Death Spells to kill the trolls, no one dared to go up and take a closer look at the soul Catcher.

frostsword received a report from cage’s team, who had been sent to kill the remaining gnomes, and knew that the rear was safe.

He stood in front of Zhao Xu and asked in a low voice, ” Mr. Gale, may I know the reason why you summoned this undead creature? ”

just now, he had only asked zhao xu to cast a spell like cobweb to temporarily delay the trolls ‘movements.

Who would have thought that Zhao Xu would be able to get rid of all the trolls so easily? there was even a dull thud coming from the forest. He had even killed all the trolls that were lying in ambush there.

So right now, he was looking at Zhao Xu as if he was looking at a life-saving rope.

Zhao Xu looked at frostsword calmly and asked, ” “do you think that this journey will still be peaceful?”

zhao xu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to penetrate all the players from the watchman guild.

everyone’s expression became a little uncertain, and those who reacted quickly turned their gazes to the guild president, frostsword.

frost sword’s expression darkened.

When he saw the three trolls appear, he could still convince himself that it was a misunderstanding.

However, when the Goblin army appeared behind them, the Goblin army even cooperated with the trolls to take a detour to outflank them. This was enough to explain many things.

Guild players like them weren’t like those trade caravans that escorted huge amounts of resources, nor were they like those scattered adventurer teams that only had two or three members.

They were a large-scale adventurer team of 40 people who were fully equipped with basic armor and weapons, and even magic equipment. They were a deterrent force in itself, and ordinary wild creatures would not come to bite them for no reason.

Moreover, the players were now just projections. Even if the goblins killed them, they would turn into nothingness. They might not even get their weapons.

This meant that they were being watched.

the only thing on frostsword that was worth paying attention to was the map of the location of the mage tower buried at the bottom of the lake.

this meant that they had obtained the map of the mage tower from the dead mage’s descendant, and this matter was no longer a secret.

an ordinary man’s possession of a jade ring would cause him to be guilty.

It wasn’t a problem for a Level-10 adventurer team to grasp this secret.

However, a group of level one or two adventurers holding onto this secret was enough to attract attention.

At this moment, frostsword’s head was lowered, and he was deep in thought.

if they could find the ruins of the wizard tower, it would be worth it even if they had to pay everyone’s lifestones, considering the popularity of arthur.

However, if they had already been targeted, then what they were doing now was likely to be benefiting others.

If frostsword continued to hold on, it would only be a waste of the party members ‘Lifestones.

It was very likely that by the time they happily took out a huge amount of wealth from the mage Tower, they would have to face a powerful enemy.

If they didn’t gain anything of equal value this time, then their Guild, which had been formed with great difficulty, would very likely fall apart.

“Brother, if you can’t, just give up.” Said Frost sword’s sister, snow. Although her tone was already cold, her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at her brother.

at this time, several other level 1 players who were standing at the edge of the forest were still confused by snow’s words. didn’t they defeat the attacking team? why did they give up now?

on the other hand, several of the guild’s higher-ups looked at frostsword with tolerance, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

“it’s okay. let’s give it a try. it’s too cowardly to return home without paying a single lifestone.”

“don’t talk nonsense, listen to the president.”

it looks like the situation is more serious than a hundred goblins and three trolls ‘attack. Who knows what other tricks they have up their sleeves? ” the more rational poet. in the party.

at this moment, he also glanced at the wind mage who had just turned the tide. the meaning of his words was self-evident, not to mention whether this wind mage still had that many spell slots.

the key was whether the other party would allow them to continue gambling like this.

Even though the gale mage claimed to be a third-circle mage, no one treated him as one anymore. however, the risk had already exceeded the agreement, and the other party could just leave.

frostsword, on the other hand, listened to the suggestions of his companions in silence, ready to make a decision.

Zhao Xu felt helpless as he watched this.

he had clearly used lightning-fast methods to kill a hundred goblins and at least six trolls, so why was frostsword still so cautious?

Although most players who could use five Lifestones to transmigrate in the early stages were good at it, most of them were good at it.

however, he had already used the ‘finger of death’,’ death magic circle’, and ‘advanced summoning of the undead’.

Even with this, she still couldn’t summon the courage to fight with him for Frost Sword?

it couldn’t be that the other party didn’t even care to make use of an NPC, right?

he had heard that there were not only heavy players in arthur, but they also treated the natives of arthur as real people.

Just as Zhao Xu was trying to guess what frostsword’s motives were and was about to add fuel to the fire, frostsword raised his head and seemed to have gathered up all his courage as he said, ” “Mr. Gale, now that you know the risk, are you still willing to take the risk with us?”

his expression was also very humble, without the slightest bit of coercion.

Zhao Xu just laughed. Frostsword had still underestimated the value of a Wizard Tower.

Even though they were in Arthur’s most advanced magic civilization, the ” capital of magic, ” it was still hard to imagine.

Even a legendary wizard like Antonya, who had her own research facility in the floating city’s obelisk, would definitely have her own Secret Lair.

legendary-mages generally did not take on overly obvious targets like the floating city. however, many mages would prepare for things like ” half bitwall ” and ” mage tower ” once they reached the sixth circle, and some even had more than one.

the high-level mages had enough patience to wait for a mage tower to be completed.

zhao xu was different. even though he had dug out a wizard tower from the bottom of the lake, he had to spend a lot of money to repair it.

but this would also save zhao xu the time he needed to build a wizard tower.

Especially since the other party was a flying “cloud tower,” and the time it took to build it was long.

A Mage Tower was like a magic item that had not been appraised. It would only be able to show its true value in the hands of those who knew the real deal.

This was something frostsword’s team could not do.

Even if they were to hand it over to the Association, they would only be rewarded with a few pieces of magical equipment. This was something that had long been recorded in the history of the association.

That was why they chose to let an Association wizard like Zhao Xu get the location of the tower, even though it seemed like Zhao Xu wouldn’t be able to control the wizard Tower even if he was only at the third circle.

but as an internal member of the association, zhao xu had his own mentors and families that he was familiar with. if he handed it over through his channels, he would be able to get a lot more benefits.

even if he didn’t have any connections and just handed it over to the association, zhao xu would still be able to make a significant contribution to the association. that was why the higher-ups of the watchmen guild were certain that zhao xu would be willing to give up most of the loot from the tower.

but they didn’t expect zhao xu to have the ability to make the wizard tower fly up into the sky again.

This was because Zhao Xu’s true backer was Antonya.

In Zhao Xu’s eyes, frostsword’s bargaining chip wasn’t information on the location of a Wizard Tower, but rather the ownership of a Wizard Tower.

this bargaining chip was already worth the price he had to pay for it. even if he had to wait until he was above level 10 to use it, it did not matter.

According to Antonya, he didn’t even have a Wizard Tower, so how could he be considered a wizard?

Zhao Xu looked at frostsword calmly and said, ” of course I can, but I’ll have to take a greater risk from now on. So, I’d like to get two of the items in the wizard Tower.

Frostsword had thought that Zhao Xu was going to ask for an exorbitant price, but he didn’t think that he would only ask for two items in advance.

The wizard Tower contained all the wealth of a wizard. The gemstones and gold coins that were used as magic materials were the main targets of their trip.

As for magic items, that was all up to fate.

After that, Zhao Xu and frostsword discussed the details and decided on the next step of the plan.

the group went to retrieve the equipment from the gnomes and trolls on the ground, ready to sell them in the city.

however, the gnomes were all small in size, so their armor and weapons weren’t very compatible with zhao xu and the other average-sized humans. They could only follow the rules of the Commission agreement in the Association and transport it back to the city to be sold and distributed.

after this turn of events, the players of the watchman guild continued to advance along the jungle. they crossed the domain field and passed through the sinkhole with great difficulty.

finally, on the third day, the group went back to the jungle. after cutting through a large number of thistles and thorns, several players who were close to the border were hooked and lost a lot of health. the group finally reached a swamp.

Zhao Xu was a little confused as well. He had been wondering about this since yesterday because the direction they were heading in had already deviated from the direction of the nearby lake.

at this moment, the soul catcher that zhao xu had summoned was still standing obediently at the front of the team. he didn’t say a word as he looked at the mud that was so deep that it didn’t even reach his feet. he didn’t show any emotion at all.

“You’re not telling me that the wizard Tower is hidden under this swamp, are you?” zhao xu asked in surprise.

if frostsword had been teasing him from the start, then he would have to show frostsword the soul catcher’s destructive power. he would let frostsword know that even a third-circle mage couldn’t be easily offended.

frostsword laughed heartily, causing the armor on his chest to tremble. “mr. gale, we only got a general location map from the mage’s descendant. the map also pointed to another place.”

“In a mysterious stone room, there was a notebook passed down by their family. the person who built the wizard tower was so powerful that he had a complete record of the construction of the wizard tower, including all the secrets of the various mechanisms of the wizard tower.”

“only with this will we be able to enter the wizard tower smoothly. otherwise, how would we, a group of level one and two players, dare to rashly break into the wizard tower?”

At this moment, frostsword’s eyes glowed as he looked at the pitch-black, muddy swamp. the stone room where wizard Errol’s notebook is hidden is right under this swamp.

but at this moment, zhao xu’s mind was filled with countless thoughts.

eror!

legend had it that among the seven people who had brought the notebook back from the mysterious tomb, the third person to return to mystra had the surname errol.

Didn’t his family go to the North of the broken Sky Mountain range a hundred years ago?

But Zhao Xu’s mind was spinning, and he understood everything in an instant.

it was the wizard of the errol family who had a wizard tower. he had died in the chaos a hundred years ago, and his family had left mystra.

and that notebook had always been hidden in the stone room, not taken out!
