The Truth of Magic - Chapter 62
62 The real ain stone
zhao xu didn’t put on the ain stone after he got it. he just put it in the middle pocket of his convenience bag.
in the early stages of the game, walking around with an aen stone on top of one’s head was really a breeze.
but zhao xu couldn’t wait for others to look at him like he was a noob.
!!
He didn’t want to attract anyone’s attention, and his main focus was to develop quietly.
in the early stages of the game, as long as he was not detected by the detection spell, the players would not know that he had a magic item.
zhao xu didn’t think too much about it when he saw how antonya was clearly telling him to be independent.
He cast Reading Magic on himself and continued studying the mysticism classics. There was a thick stack of books beside him.
Everyone could initially get 4 times the points because the upper limit of the skill level was character level +3.
zhao xu was now a level 1 character, so he could level up his skills to level 4.
It was a good thing Antonya didn’t ask for too much. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to go out on an adventure for the next one or two months with a level 4 workload.
in his previous life, the players were forced to not level up their knowledge and skills much because of the time required to read.
as zhao xu read through the books on mysticism, he couldn’t help but guess what he was thinking about legendary wizards.
If a legendary-mage required a knowledge (mysterious) skill, he would probably have to Max out this skill.
in other words, at level 21, he would have to have a level 24 knowledge (mysterious) skill level.
When he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel sorry for Antonya.
the players on earth only had to endure three years of college entrance exams, but the wizards in arthur had to endure for their entire lives.
what I have today is what you will have tomorrow. You don’t have to look at me like that. Antonya said as she flipped through the book in her hands.
zhao xu was shocked. he had been looking at antonya the entire time, but he didn’t see her raise her head at all.
didn’t they say that the players ‘true thoughts would not be detected for a year?
Zhao Xu quickly raised his head and looked around the entire classroom to see if there were any floating objects around.
he had heard that mages had a method similar to drone detection, but he really did not know the details of the spell.
Could it be that Antonya had set up something around them?
don’t embarrass the mages. Take a good look at that ‘introduction to common spells’ in your backpack.
” there’s a level two arcane spell called ‘crab turtle vision’, which can give people the global vision. ” Antonya said in a bad mood.
so it was like this.
Zhao Xu finally understood that Antonya had basically obtained a vision that had no blind spots, similar to the eye roll.
therefore, she didn’t need to look up to know what she was doing.
zhao xu thought to himself that he wasn’t afraid that someone would walk up to him from behind and scare him off with this kind of magic equipment, but it definitely wouldn’t be easy to get used to in the beginning.
but antonya was only here to read a book, and she already had this kind of buff on her. she really was being cautious.
“mentor, i just need to level up 10 knowledge skills by 1, right? there’s no rush for the rest of the levels, right?”
After casting read magic four times in a row, Zhao Xu finally felt that his mystical knowledge skill was starting to show some signs of being useful.
he was like an athlete who had only run a few steps. with the speed and the length of the track, it was easy to estimate the time.
” there’s no rush, but the advancement requires knowledge and skills. ” antonya said calmly, but she didn’t stop flipping the pages.
“the one i’m about to advance to?”
“what do you think?”
“Then, what level do you need to be, mentor?” zhao xu suddenly had a bad feeling.
” knowledge (mysterious) is definitely a level 8 skill. otherwise, you would have been able to advance before you reached level 5. ”
zhao xu couldn’t help but gasp.
He was completely sure that Antonya was doing this on purpose.
a skill level could only be three levels higher than the character level, which meant that when he was a level 5 wizard, his knowledge (mystery) skill had to be raised to level 8.
Now, the 4x skill points provided by Level 1 were 40 points. He could not level up to Level 2 until he used them all.
He already had a lot of skill points left when he was Level 5, so he could forget about maxing out all the knowledge (mysterious) skills in one go.
this would delay his advancement to an advanced class by a few levels.
therefore, he had to max out his knowledge (mystical) skill to level 4 when he reached level 1.
However, every time a skill leveled up, the reading requirement would also increase.
Thinking about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on, mainly because he didn’t have that many read magic spells to cast.
He had the heart to study, but he had limited time to use the dictionary every day.
Not to mention that he was already a cultivator of both the divine and the arcane, which meant that he had double the spell slots of others.
“mentor, look at my current situation. i want to study hard, but i can’t do anything without the blessing of reading magic.” Zhao Xu asked Antonya for advice.
“why don’t i also set up a ‘reading magic’?” zhao xu asked with anticipation.
“That’s a good suggestion.” antonya agreed.
Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, but out of caution, he still asked, ” mentor, do we need to change the environment for the permanency spell? There are too many people here.”
“Environment? We’ll talk about it when the time comes, how would we know now?”
“When the time comes?”
“How are you going to master the level 5 spell ‘magic everlasting’ if you’re not at level 9?” antonya continued to flip through the page in her hand.
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment and he thought back to what he had just said.
He immediately realized that Antonya was asking him to put it on himself.
Zhao Xu was left speechless.
If he could cast magic everlasting on his own, he wouldn’t have needed to ask Antonya for help.
at this moment, antonya was reading her book in peace, as if she was immune to fire and water, so she probably wouldn’t let him cheat.
Otherwise, Zhao Xu would just take advantage of the situation and continue begging for other permanency spells.
“however, if you really have such an ambition, i can satisfy you.” antonya suddenly said.
“Joining a large organization will give you the treatment of a large organization. after all, you players don’t need to eat or drink, so that ain stone is a little useless to you.”
Zhao Xu’s expression changed and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
” mentor, can i get a reward that can help me solve the problem of not having enough reading magic? ”
“This works too. If not, there was a condition. If you can’t meet the conditions, I’ll take it back.”
Using the ownership of an enen stone worth 4000 gold pieces in exchange for an unknown reward of unlimited lease period, with a request.
however, it wasn’t a big problem. he didn’t dare to sell the original ain stones anyway.
The only requirement was to satisfy the other party’s premise.
“what are the conditions?” zhao xu asked.
knowledge (mystical), knowledge (religion), Arcana, and concentration, I want you to maim all four of them.
“sure.”
Zhao Xu replied decisively.
no matter how difficult the request was, he would agree to it first and then reply to it when there was a problem.
an orange, prismatic rock flew straight towards zhao xu.
zhao xu took it with his bare hands and carefully examined the ain stone in his hand. he had never heard of this version of the stone before. could it solve the problem of him not having enough time to read magic?
As Zhao Xu thought about this, he took out the original transparent ain stone from his bento bag and returned it to Antonya.
“You can take it. Just hold it for a while, then release it. ”
Zhao Xu nodded his head as he followed Antonya’s instructions.
The orange prism that had been lying in Zhao Xu’s palm suddenly flew up into the air.
it was as if it was being pulled by gravity as it flew towards the top of his head.
Just as the Ain stone was about to fly away from his head like a meteor, the mysterious force continued to pull it back.
after going back and forth a few times, the ain stone finally stabilized its trajectory and continued to circle above his head.
“The effect of this ain stone is to increase the level of a level 1 spellcaster.”
” in the future, you’ll need 20 minutes to read magic, and 40 minutes to reach supreme magic. that’s enough. ”
