The Truth of Magic

Chapter 29 Elder Mage

If it weren't for the many people sitting in the audience staring at them, Zhao Xu could hardly help but make a sound.

After a while, he figured out that Antinoya was probably joking.

Maybe the sudden situation a week ago was the corresponding incident.

Stop joking, mentor. Zhao Xu pouted.

I'm not kidding. In fact, it's enough to have legendary mages on duty to deal with it. The most indispensable thing for our 'final scroll' is legendary mages. As long as someone is willing to contribute, the headquarters will definitely have no objection to this.

Don't say once a month, it doesn't matter if you come here once a day.

Although Zhao Xu knew that he was hugging a thick leg, he couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

A 17th-level mage who can cast 9th-level spells, not to mention being a king, can pull up an army and become a lord-level ruler if he can't think about it.

It's not about whether you can do it or not, it's about whether you want it or not.

For a legendary mage of level 21 or higher, the problem they have to face every day is that they have to rise to the level of saving the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the corner where Wang Ningwei was sitting with a little sympathy.

These players can sit here and wake up at this time, which shows that they were basically delayed for five days in the previous life, or even more than that.

Maybe some of them suppressed their thoughts and pursued the honor of being the first to complete the training at the Mage Academy.

It's a pity that this is Mystra. For thousands of years, countless top and most talented mage apprentices have been sent here.

No matter how powerful a genius is, he has to keep his tail between his legs in this place.

Zhao Xu's gaze slowly scanned past, looking at Arthur's native magic apprentices, he asked in a little surprise.

Teacher, is there a way to spend money to improve the talent of mages?

Antinoya followed Zhao Xu's gaze and glanced, You have reversed cause and effect.

Let me ask you, if you were a lord or even a king, would you prefer to send your children to be a mage or a warrior?

Only then did Zhao Xu fall silent.

Those native mage apprentices, although they were all wearing the uniform apprentice robes here, only had a badge like his on their chests.

But someone like Zhao Xu who had been a guard had such a vicious vision.

It can be seen at a glance that among these mage apprentices, there are definitely a lot of nobles.

This unusual amount made him unable to help asking.

The most direct way to improve the talent of a mage is to improve the intelligence attribute.

However, among those people off the court, there will not be more than five who have read the 'Book of Meditation' or received the 'Prayer Technique' to increase the intrinsic bonus of intelligence.

Zhao Xu then turned his head to look at Antinoya.

Even the nobles may not be able to enjoy the wish technique, and the woman in front of her just demonstrated it for herself.

If it wasn't for the presence of players, Zhao Xu couldn't help but say, The wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and the road is frozen to death.

Don't think too much, I just cast it once. The upper limit of the intrinsic bonus of intelligence is 5 points. Not everyone can cast the 'Wish' spell five times in a row so easily.

The mage increases the intrinsic bonus of intelligence by 5 points, mostly by reading the '+5 volume of meditation'.

If you want to collect 135,000 gold coins someday, I can sell you a copy, but you can't buy it in the market.

Zhao Xu murmured to himself that he would not be so greedy, and he would be satisfied if he could add two or three points of intelligence to him.

Five prayers, who dares to imagine.

But 130,000 gold coins, even if he has the ability to smuggle silver, it would cost 50 million yuan.

If it is priced in gold, let alone 400 million yuan.

In the previous life, players were basically struggling on the poverty line.

Suddenly, the half-closed front door was gently pushed open.

An old mage who looked to be in his seventies or eighties walked in slowly, leaning on a cane nearly one meter high.

Hearing this sound, the novice mages in the lobby quickly sat upright, showing that meticulous demeanor.

Looking at this old man with the image of Gandalf, Zhao Xu still respected him silently.

In fantasy books, the general strength of a mage is linked to his age, except for the one next to him.

Teacher, that metal cane looks very handsome. When I participated in the forum, I saw many mages with walking sticks. Will you give me a cane after taking office?

Antinoya glanced at Zhao Xu.

Sometimes you know a lot, and sometimes you really don't understand anything. It's the 'Advanced Supermagic Instant Scepter', which can make your spells instant three times a day.

Zhao Xu received a lot of shocks today, and he knew the strategic value as soon as he heard it, so he asked quickly - How much?

170,000 GP.

How much? Zhao Xu suspected that he had heard wrong.

You heard me right, this one is the most expensive in the Super Magic series.

Zhao Xu could only lower his excited voice.

I knew that the unit of measurement for mage's things is not how many gold coins, but how many thousands of gold coins.

Such an expensive item would definitely not be accessible to players in the first year, so he didn't know it.

Zhao Xu had only been exposed to magic wands in his previous life. It was equivalent to a multi-hair scroll and was less than 30 centimeters long. Who knew there was such a thing that he had never heard of before.

Um?

Zhao Xu suddenly noticed that the old mage was walking towards him slowly, followed by a middle-aged mage with a very respectful expression.

Zhao Xu was standing at the boundary between the front desk and the back seats. He turned his head and realized that there was no one else standing behind him.

It's all about them.

Shouldn't they be driven away?

Then the old mage realized that Antinoya was just a rookie mage, who had been fooling him all this time, including the gold coins conjured up by the wish spell yesterday, which was just an illusion.

Just as Zhao Xu was bored thinking about the plot, he realized that despite his slow pace, the mage was getting closer and closer, and Antinoya was completely unmoved.

There is no thought of respecting the old and loving the young at all.

Immediately afterwards, when the old mage came within half a meter of them, his footsteps stopped.

Those novice mages sitting in the lobby, no matter how proud they were in their hearts, were attracted by this scene.

Influenced by the old mage who performed the ceremony for them next.

Teacher, you are still as handsome as before. The old mage lowered his head, and his white beard seemed to fall to the ground.

Can't you use any door or dimension to jump over? Antinoya said.

Teacher, the spell position is every mage's hole card. It's too wasteful to use it for a few steps. The old mage replied respectfully.

Hehe. Hurry up and make arrangements, I'm in a hurry.

The old man's eyes fell on Zhao Xu, Teacher, the talents you selected are really outstanding.

Zhao Xu didn't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to see some kind of emotion from the old man's shining eyes.

Young man, just go up and sit on that 'Secret Magic Throne'.

Thank you for your recommendation and encouragement, there will be another chapter later.
