The Truth of Magic - Chapter 432
432 antonya’s dowry
166 kilometers. even if there was no air resistance on earth’s surface, it would take three minutes to jump from a high altitude and travel this distance while accelerating continuously.
even though zhao xu’s entire body had already transformed into a cloud of mist, he still felt like his entire body was falling apart after he had accelerated by tens of gigabytes in six seconds.
If he had not transformed in advance, he would have been reduced to a brilliant flame without even leaving any ashes during the acceleration process.
After six seconds, Zhao Xu finally came to a slow stop after accelerating and decelerating once again. He turned his head around and looked in the direction he had just run off in.
!!
Not to mention 100 kilometers, the island that was only 10 kilometers away became so small that it was hard to see.
However, in this boundless, dark void, where light could not penetrate, layers of explosive light were constantly triggered at the position of the island.
It was like bread that was constantly expanding and fermenting.
In an instant, Zhao Xu’s vision was covered by a blinding explosion of white light, and he could see it everywhere.
His tears immediately flowed out from the pain.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have been blinded for 10 rounds. ]
zhao xu’s eyes were closed, so the only thing he lost was arthur’s vision. he could still see his character stats and his status bar, and he immediately saw this notification.
“Is this the power of a spell?” After Lux followed Zhao Xu and moved out a hundred kilometers away, she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
this level of power that exceeds level 3 spells hasn’t been corrected? ”
God’s steps combined with the spell’s duration is a level 9 spell slot. Compared to the gate between worlds or something, this bit of power is already much smaller. Zhao Xu explained.
It was only because he had the special ability of ” Supreme magic control ” that he could achieve such an exaggerated effect.
For example, a priest with a sacred metamagic ability and a spell-lasting ability would have to consume 6 dispel counts.
One point of charm adjustment was only one point of dispel. Even if they relied on special means, the number of dispel for an ordinary priest could only last a few spells.
After a while, Zhao Xu immediately felt a huge blast of air from an explosion rush towards him. It was mixed with the smell of sulfur and the waves, which were a complete contradiction.
Zhao Xu and Vivian were immediately pushed back a few hundred meters by the wind. They had to use their flying ability to reverse the direction of the wind before they could stop.
we’re more than 50 kilometers away from the safe zone, but we can still feel the sound of the explosion. It’s too scary.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu still took out two cotton balls and a sackcloth and decided to stuff them into his ears. Just looking at the explosion was enough to make him go blind.
If they really heard the sound of the explosion, they would really be deafened on the spot.
Just as he was doing this, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. silly.
Then, he felt the warmth of her palm on his wrist.
————————-
When Zhao Xu’s vision finally returned, he noticed that he had returned to the main hall where he first came from.
The familiar Antonya was standing in front of the stone tablet, observing the keyhole on it.
compared to the golem key that zhao xu had inserted in the very beginning, the elemental key was also inserted into the stone now.
“Teacher, you’re here?”
“What do you think? if I hadn’t come, you would have died.” Antonya’s voice was still as cold as ever. last time, we barged into a group of legendary undead monsters. This time, it’s the elemental annihilation explosion created by the fusion of the four Elemental Lords after they transformed. Do you know that we’ve been dealing over 10000 damage right at the center of the explosion? ”
Then she couldn’t help but turn around and pinch Zhao Xu’s face. do you think the next time I see you will be on the battlefield of the God Wars? ”
When she saw this, Vivian, who was in charge of protecting Zhao Xu, couldn’t help but turn her head away. She snorted softly and didn’t look over.
“Hey, mentor, I’m already twenty years old.” Zhao Xu quickly said.
As a man whose mental age was over 30 years old, Xu Zhao still felt embarrassed that his face was being pinched by a girl who looked less than 20 years old.
“I’m returning it.”
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but mumble,”mentor, when have I ever pinched your face?”
he had only seen antonya’s face not too long ago.
” wuyue told you to give it a try, and you just gave it a try. you won’t even know that you’ll be sold off sooner or later. ” Antonya’s voice sounded a little embarrassed.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but glance at Vivian. He realized that she had instinctively moved 30 centimeters away from him again. Her head was also subconsciously leaning towards the other stone doors, as if she didn’t care about this at all.
A traitor like you would become a Paladin sooner or later, Zhao Xu thought to himself.
“Teacher, did you bring this key back?”
Zhao Xu had finally gotten to know Antonya for four months now, so he knew how she was like. As long as he asked more questions, he would be able to change the topic.
“What do you think? your idea is right, but you used the wrong props. The key is hidden beneath the island, and it’s the only thing that won’t be destroyed by the explosion.”
as for you, zhongxia, promise me not to take such risks that are beyond your ability next time, okay? ” Antonya suddenly said in a serious tone.
“if you really die, i won’t even know where to go to gather your soul fragments.”
Zhao Xu was also starting to realize that this Palace of Azur was no small matter, and even Antonya was starting to find it a little difficult to deal with.
“Then, teacher, is there any division?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask.
With his current equipment and magic abilities, he would not be afraid even if he were to deal with adventurers above level ten.
Some of the normal challenges were suitable for other players, but not for him.
He wasn’t qualified to save the world yet, but he was more than qualified to do some missions to save the safety of the town.
“Idiot.”
“You’ll know when you evaluate your harvest.”
“A unique legendary Golem statue, a legendary magic item that can’t be replicated. It’s stronger than an ordinary artifact. Now that you’re holding it in your hand, how terrifying do you think the next round of this Palace will be?”
“In the past two days, there were hundreds of people who entered the palace. Other than the adventurers who stayed in the hall with the stone steles, all the others who entered the stone door died without exception. You’re lucky to be able to pass two trials in a row.”
Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that he had made a big profit with this legendary Golem. It could even crush some unremarkable artifacts.
“Then, mentor, what’s up with my brass treasure chests?”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered that when the four elements exploded, the runes on his opponent’s body had disappeared. Naturally, he was missing the last piece of the puzzle for his treasure chest.
“This treasure chest of yours, it’s a long story.” Antonya suddenly felt a little lonely as she looked at the brass treasure chests.
“It was a dowry that person prepared for me. he just didn’t want to show it so openly, so he made it look like a treasure chest. the magic items in the treasure chest, such as the monk belt and strength staff, are all just a cover. the real treasure is the treasure chest itself.”
the runes you’ve obtained are the real keys to opening the treasure chest.
“I see.”
Ernest had divided the treasures into real and fake ones, and now even the dowry was fake.
but the difference between a monk belt that costs a few thousand gold coins and a strength rune magic staff that costs tens of thousands of gold coins is a little too big.
“That’s what you think. In fact, he had his own considerations for these five treasures. The staff represents close combat attack, the belt represents defense, and the golem that was transformed from the treasure chest on the belt also represents defense.”
Defense?
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look at his legendary Golem statues. These two golems had been specially made to be hollow inside, and Vivian had just sat inside to control them.
As for the golems, they were immune to magic and had a high defense level. It would be barely acceptable to say that they represented defense.
However, this belt’s defense was a little shabby.
“Heh, one look and I can tell you won’t even pick up Treasure Mountain.” Antonya laughed and said, ” the monk’s belt can be used to adjust your perception to your defense. Your perception attribute is low right now, so you’ll only have Tier 2 defense. It’s better than nothing.
“But in the defense level, the defense brought by perception is a completely new type, and it doesn’t conflict with the previous armor. Secondly, it can’t be easily broken through by ghost strike or anything like that. It’s also a good bonus, just like skewed defense.”
Zhao Xu suddenly came to a realization. the fifth-circle spell, owl’s insight? ”
what antonya was trying to say was that he felt that it was useless right now. it was just that his senses were too low.
“That’s right, you’ve also seen this key point.”
Clam’s insight was an hour-long spell that strengthened the perception attribute. It also provided an insight bonus that could be stacked.
The increase in attributes was equivalent to half of the caster’s level.
For someone like Antonya, who had easily reached level 80 as a spellcaster, she had 40 senses, which could be directly converted into a level 20 defense bonus.
Zhao Xu lowered his head and looked at the five treasure chests in his hands. He had already used the staff many times because it could double his attack damage.
It seemed like the magic items hidden in the next three treasure chests would not be simple.
The treasure chests themselves were even more significant.
zhao xu turned around and asked, “but mentor, how did these treasure chests end up here?”
These treasure chests were the dowry that Ernest had given Antonya, which explained why the first treasure chest contained the wooden stick version of the Runic Power staff that Ernest had made for himself.
Antonya almost put her hands on her hips and said, “I didn’t want him to give me any Bullsh * t dowry, so I threw it back at him.
“I didn’t expect him to use these five treasure chests as the location of the palace of Azur on the ground. Once someone takes the treasure chest, the seal will naturally loosen, and the palace of Azur will fall from the sky.”
Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this.
In that case, the five treasure chests had been placed in the underground nest from the very beginning, but they were later occupied by the mutated Scorpion.
As for the evil ritual, it might have been set up by those who wanted to crack the secret of the treasure chest in an attempt to infiltrate it with evil power.
when he thought about this, zhao xu couldn’t help but look at antonya with sparkling eyes.
Even so, each of the five treasure chests was a powerful item that was comparable to a divine weapon.
Antonya came from a wealthy family, but that was because she looked down on him.
But Zhao Xu was a pauper and single man. Just a legendary Golem statue was enough to crush most of the magic equipment he had before.
“Don’t look at me,” Antonya looked as if she couldn’t stand the way Zhao Xu was looking at her. I didn’t even take the box, let alone the runes. I don’t know why he left the runes in the palace of Azur either.
“And in a moment, the palace of Azur is going to rise to the heavens once more.”
“You’d better worry about how you’re going to deal with the crowd that’s trying to get the divine artifact.”
