The Truth of Magic - Chapter 679
679 Chapter 679-the female star in the nest
The Earth’s cavalrymen looked at the space that was constantly being swept up by the storm of energy fragments and did not dare to advance for a long time. Even the warhorses under them had gone limp after seeing the scene of the corpses on the ground.
what level of existence caused this? ” The commander of the cavalry asked.
The hundreds of adventurer players behind him were also at a loss when they saw this scene. They had clearly been in a stalemate for a while.
!!
Why did the battlefield suddenly fall into another dimension?
it looked as if there was an invisible black hand behind the scenes manipulating all these, and also mocking their weakness.
“i’m afraid it’s a small team of mages?” The mage who was the magic advisor in the cavalry said in disbelief. His eyes were wide open, as if he was shocked when he first came into contact with magic.
however, no matter how they scanned the battlefield that was filled with corpses, they couldn’t see anything strange or magical.
“Let’s go raid the ogres ‘lair.” Zhao Xu tapped Yoona’s head with his index finger, as she was still in a daze.
“Ah? Don’t you want to meet them?” Yun ‘er was a little surprised.
There were more than a thousand people here, and there was no lack of top players among them, but she didn’t expect Zhao Xu to not even meet her.
To exaggerate a little, he, zhongxia, could be said to be the “boss” of this group of people.
Zhao Xu shook his head slightly. they came in so openly, and they didn’t even bother to negotiate. They just said that they were going to kill you on the spot. Do you think they’re here to save you? ”
Yun ‘er honestly shook her delicate head.
“Then that’s it.”
Zhao Xu patted her on the shoulder. since I’m not here to save you, why are you so worried? ”
“Oh.” Yoona finally understood. no wonder you cast such a continuous ‘fragment storm’ spell. It turns out that in addition to killing these ogres, you also turned this area into a dead zone so that they can’t come over.
“It’s good that you know.”
After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he cast a flying spell on Yoona and pulled her along as they flew towards the ogres ‘lair.
“Captain, you know the way?”
Yun ‘er couldn’t help but be very curious. She had been with Zhao Xu the entire time and they hadn’t left each other’s side for even a moment. How did he manage to understand the entire situation so clearly without saying a word?
“Do you really think I was watching you fight for no reason?” Zhao Xu laughed.
as he spoke, he waved the ” scepter ” in his hand. from the start of the battle, i had been aiming at the ogres and casting the ” memory alteration ” spell on them.
I’m referring to the memory of the ‘nest’. I’ll naturally know everything in the end.
“Change my memory? What kind of spell is this?” Yun ‘er muttered to herself.
She suddenly felt as if she had come into contact with some unspeakable black curtain.
“I’m changing my memory.”
Zhao Xu said nonchalantly.
this is a level four poet spell. It can sneak into the mind of the target and modify a memory that is no more than five minutes.
the specific form of implementation can directly erase all memories of a certain event, and it can also allow the other party to clearly recall the complete Details of what they have experienced, or modify the specific details in the memory, or directly implant it.
” i only read it just now, so it didn’t take me long. otherwise, if i really implanted the entire memory, it wouldn’t have been so fast. ”
Even though Zhao Xu’s entire description of the process seemed to be very light, Yoona, who was listening to the story, couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear in her heart whenever she heard about the ways that Zhao Xu could achieve this.
this method of changing memories is too perverted, right? ” she couldn’t help but complain, ” does that mean that there’s no such thing as a pure land in this world? ”
“No,” she said. Zhao Xu wagged his finger lightly. for the entire world of Arthur, Level 4 is already an incredible level, not to mention that this spell is essentially a level 4 spell for poets. Most poets have to wait until they’re level 10 before they can master it.
and if a wizard really wants to completely alter his memory, he still has to rely on the level 9 spell ‘memory organization’, so it’s much more conservative. You don’t have to worry too much about the collapse of Arthur’s order.
a fifth-circle wizard is considered a top-tier wizard in a small country like Arthur. Zhao Xu explained.
Previously, when the players leveled up quickly, many people had underestimated the status of a level 4 or 5 spellcaster in Arthur.
it was just like how ordinary people would think that a county head was only so-so when they read the news. however, after actually coming into contact with him, they would then understand the power of a division-level cadre in a district or county.
“Captain, are we going to the nest?” At this time, Yun ‘er was still controlling her flying power, soaring high in the sky, but she couldn’t help feeling happy in her heart.
To humans, conquering the sky had always been an instinctive pursuit. Otherwise, there would not be so many people trying to fly in the wings, an extreme sport that was very risky.
“I’m here, what do you have to worry about?” Zhao Xu’s tone was nonchalant.
“No, Captain.” Yun ‘er tilted her head and asked with a look of curiosity, ” then, do ordinary mages just rush in without saying anything? ”
“Something like a door-kicking group?”
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He knew that he was just curious about the existence of that ” God “, so he had been too hasty and had misled Yoo.
Zhao Xu immediately explained, ” actually, that’s not the case.
before we go on an adventure, we have to do the most basic preparation work, such as investigating the information of the monsters ahead and preparing the corresponding spells. For example, if there are undead creatures there, we don’t need to prepare mind-confusing spells, such as the ‘sleep spell’ that I mentioned at the beginning.”
As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked in the direction of the ogre’s lair that wasn’t too far away. for example, if I reach the eighth circle, I’ll definitely prepare a spell like ‘final judgment’ that can be cast on humanoid creatures, humanoid monsters, or Giants from the evil faction.
He waved his fist. at that time, looking at these evil Giants, I will read their crimes on the spot and shout,’I judge you on behalf of justice’. Then, the judgment from heaven will come to the human world and take away these evil Giants. At the same time, their bodies will be sent to the lower realm to receive eternal judgment.
Zhao Xu’s eyes were already shining with a bright light, as if he had been preparing for this scene for a long time.
Zheng xinyun, who heard this Chuunibyou speech, could only grin slightly to show that she had learned.
at the same time, we have to be prepared to ‘leave the battlefield’. After all, we only have one life. In a situation like the one just now, when countless ogres suddenly surrounded us, a qualified mage would cast an escape spell or a control spell to stop these monsters the moment they appeared.
for example, the first circle ‘Cloud Mist’ is the most basic way to control a situation. Sometimes, when a level 1 four-man adventurer team suddenly encounters three ogres, the only way to escape is to bet on how far they can run before the mist dissipates.
“Hehe hehe.” Yoona finally understood.
In Arthur’s battle, it was more of a helpless feeling.
“Captain, you’re already a five-ring Soul Master. Do you have any other ways of escaping?”
“Well, about this.”
Zhao Xu thought about this for a moment, then he took out three small test tubes that were as long as batteries from his backpack. They were sealed and filled with blood of a similar color.
“An owl, an Eagle, or a Giant Eagle?” Yoo ‘er read the common text on the labels of the three test tubes.
Then, Zhao Xu dripped three drops of blood from each test tube and fused them onto his finger. He was extremely stingy with the entire process.
The next second, he pulled Yoo ‘er down and they landed next to a tree stump. Then, Zhao Xu used his index finger to draw a bloody rune on it.
But before Yoona could even blink, the brilliant spot that had marked her disappeared and she was once again pulled up into the air by Zhao Xu.
Before Yoo could ask anything, Zhao Xu started to explain.
“The spell I just cast is the fifth-circle ‘retreat emblem’. Casting this spell by touching a living object is like creating a secret imprint (zero-circle).”
” in this way, for the 24 hours of the spell’s duration, i can teleport back to the mark at any time with a swift action. the effect is equivalent to the advanced teleportation of the seventh circle. ”
Yoona thought that it was some kind of magical effect, but when she heard that it was just a seventh-circle advanced teleportation spell, she could not help but pout. but that’s it. Mages can already use teleportation spells at the fifth circle.
Zhao Xu just laughed quietly. you’re a little girl with high standards but low standards. I should let you experience the beating of life first. If you want level 5 spells to be cast quickly, you have to match it with ‘spontaneous casting’. If it’s not optimized, it’ll be a level 9 spell slot, okay?”
and just because we cast it on inanimate objects doesn’t mean it can’t move. So sometimes, if we let animals or people carry it, it will have a miraculous effect.
Yoona finally understood what Zhao Xu really meant.
After the two of them entered the depths of the mountain, they began to fly at a low altitude. At this time, they had already left the cavalry Regiment far behind them.
At the same time, Zhao Xu used the ogre’s memories to quickly find a hidden entrance on the hill in front of them. He lifted a large rock and entered the tunnel with Yoo.
As the light from the everburning torch illuminated the rugged stone path in front of them, Yoona’s pupils shrank, adapting to the light in the depths of the mountain.
it’s the ogres ‘camp. There’s a foul smell everywhere.
Thinking about the size of the ogres, Yoona couldn’t help but think, ” doesn’t this mean that there’s a huge underground city down there to accommodate these ogres? No wonder they weren’t destroyed by the waves of undead. It seems like they’ve been hiding here for the past few years.”
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at everything in the tunnel. No wonder these ogres weren’t worried about the upcoming storm. Wasn’t this a proper space? Captain, we’ll have to occupy this place later.”
Zhao Xu shook his head at this. don’t think that we haven’t thought of any underground holes or caves that could be used as a shelter. Let me tell you, in places like this where sunlight can’t reach, the possibility of being affected by negative energy is the highest.
As he spoke, Zhao Xu’s eyes became alert.
“When that time comes, it won’t be the time to become a skeleton. Instead, she might wake up as a zombie after she falls asleep.”
Yun ‘er’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.
This was obviously not knowledge that had fallen from the sky, but a bloody experience that had been gained through the groping of human lives.
The air instantly returned to its original solemness.
“Won’t the ogres suffer the consequences?” Yun ‘er asked.
“Not necessarily,” zhao xu thought back to what he had just experienced. ” it looks like that ‘god’ gave them some sort of protection and they managed to avoid this punishment. ”
no wonder all of them went out in search of a holy weapon for sacrifice. Not even a guard was left behind.
Zhao Xu could already smell the faint scent of blood in the air.
he didn’t look like a human, but more like an ogre.
In fact, the entire tunnel was dark red in color. It was obvious that many captives had been dragged along this path, leaving behind countless wails and wounds.
The bloody smell of the ogres could actually cover this area. Didn’t this mean that a greater change had already happened in front of them?
At this moment, the two of them walked past the circular entrance in front of them. They looked at the weapon rack on the side and the movable stone slab above it. It was obvious that if the enemy really attacked, this place would be blocked.
On the other side of the road, a row of cells appeared. On both sides of the cell, there were solid wooden bars that were only as thick as a palm, and some weeds and soil were randomly placed inside. The stench was even stronger. It was obvious that eating, drinking, and pooping were all carried out inside.
Suddenly, Yun ‘er let out a scream and pointed at a cage.
In this darkness and shadow, there were four bodies. Three of them had already fallen to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead. Only one of them, who looked slimmer, could not help but tremble and chant in a language that no one could understand.
When she heard Zhao Xu and Yoo ‘er’s footsteps, the woman suddenly raised her head. Her initially panicked gaze suddenly turned into one of surprise when she saw that the two of them were no more than two meters tall.
She kept moving her throat, wanting to shout out, but then she remembered that the ogre guards might still be nearby. She held her breath and said softly, ” are you here to save us? ”
As she spoke, her eyes were already filled with tears, but her body was still holding back the sound of her crying.
Even though the woman’s face was covered in dirt and grime, Zhao Xu felt like she looked a little familiar. He could barely recognize her, but he couldn’t name her.
“It’s you? “Ah!” It’s Lu Yu from the pinkgirls!” Yun ‘er shouted excitedly on the spot. She didn’t expect that she would be able to meet her favorite idol singer again in the chaotic world after she transmigrated.
“This Wanwan,” Zhao Xu muttered.
