The Truth of Magic

Chapter 302 The Notebook in the Stone Room

Seeing the strange shape of the Soul Prisoner beyond everyone's imagination, the members of the trade union fell into silence for a while.

The appearance of this undead creature is completely different from the skeletons and zombies that everyone has seen before, more like an alien.

If you encounter them in the wild, I am afraid that your first reaction will be to treat them as enemies, how can you turn them into teammates so quickly.

Especially in the aftermath of Zhao Xu's two fireballs that wiped out hundreds of goblins and two instant death spells that killed the trolls, no one dared to step forward and carefully examine the details of the Soul Prisoner.

At this time, Frost Sword knew that there was no problem in the rear after receiving the report from the Cage team that had just been sent to kill the remaining goblins.

He stood in front of Zhao Xu and asked in a low voice, Mr. Kuangfeng, may I ask why you summoned this undead creature?

Just now, he just begged Zhao Xu to release spells such as spider web to temporarily delay the actions of the trolls.

Who knew that Zhao Xu would wipe out all the trolls directly, even in the jungle, there was a muffled sound, and even the trolls lurking there were killed.

So at this moment, he looked at Zhao Xu more as if he saw a life-saving rope.

At this moment, Zhao Xu looked at Shuang Jian calmly, and asked, Do you think this journey will be calm?

Zhao Xu's voice was not loud, but it was enough to penetrate all the players in the watchman union present.

Everyone's face became a little cloudy and uncertain, and the one who reacted faster turned his gaze to Shuangjian, the head of the trade union present.

Shuang Jian's complexion also darkened at this time.

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

But when the goblin troops appeared later, the opponent deliberately cooperated with the trolls to outflank them, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

These guild players are not those caravans that escort huge supplies, nor are they scattered adventurer teams with two or three kittens.

They are a large adventure team of 40 people equipped with basic armor and weapons, and even magic equipment. They are full of deterrence. Generally, wild creatures will not come to bite them hard if they have nothing to do.

Moreover, their players now exist as projections, and the goblins will turn them into nothingness if they kill them, and they may not even get weapons.

This shows that they are being targeted.

The only thing worthy of attention on Shuang Jian at this moment is the map of the location of the mage tower buried at the bottom of the lake.

This shows that they got the map of the mage tower from the descendant of the dead mage, which is no longer a secret.

Every man is innocent and conceives his crime.

It is not a problem for a ten-level adventure team to hold this secret.

But a group of one or two level adventurers hold this secret, which is enough to attract attention.

At this time, Shuang Jian lowered his head, thinking constantly.

If the ruins of the mage tower can be found in the end, according to Arthur's current game popularity, it will be worth paying everyone's resurrection stone.

It's just that if they have been closely watched, then what they are doing now is probably making wedding dresses for others.

If Frost Sword persisted, it would be a waste of the resurrection stones of the team members.

It is very likely that when they happily move a huge amount of wealth from the mage tower, what they have to face is a powerful enemy intercepting and killing them.

Once there is no equivalent harvest this time, then the trade union they formed with great difficulty is likely to fall apart directly.

Brother, if it doesn't work, just give up. Shuang Jian's younger sister, Ji Xue, said, although her tone was already cold, her eyes looked at her brother worriedly.

At this time, the other level 1 players who stood on the outer edge still didn't understand what Xue Xue said. They didn't defeat the attacking team, so why did they give up now?

On the contrary, several senior officials in the trade union looked at Shuang Jian tolerantly, waiting for the other party's decision.

It's okay, let's fight, it's too useless to go home without paying for a single resurrection stone.

Don't yell, listen to the president.

Looking at the situation now, it's more than a deliberate attack by hundreds of goblins and three trolls. Who knows what tricks will come later. Said the more rational poet in the team.

At this time, he also glanced at the Storm Mage who had just turned the tide, and the implication was self-evident, not to mention whether this Storm Mage still had so many spell slots.

The key is whether the other party can let them continue to gamble like this.

Even though Mage Kuangfeng called himself a three-ring mage, no one regarded him as a three-ring mage anymore. It's just that the risk has exceeded the agreement, and the other party can walk away.

Frost Sword was silently listening to the suggestions of his companions around him, preparing to make a decision.

Zhao Xu was helpless watching this scene.

He obviously used thunderous means to kill hundreds of goblins and at least six trolls in a row, how could Shuangjian be so cautious.

Although the initial players can play time-traveling with five resurrection stones at a time, most of them are very good at it.

However, he has already resorted to the three ultimate moves of Finger of Death, Dharma Circle of Death, and Advanced Awakening of Undead.

Just like this, I still can't muster the courage of Shuangjian to fight with him?

It's unlikely that the other party would even bother to use an NPC.

Although he heard that Arthur is currently a serious player, he already treats the native Arthur in the game as a real person.

Just when Zhao Xu guessed Shuang Jian's motives and was about to add another fire, Shuang Jian raised his head directly, as if mustering up his courage, and said, Mr. Kuangfeng, now that you know the next risk, are you still willing? Will you go on an adventure with us?

And his expression was also very humble, without any threatening expression.

Zhao Xu smiled. Shuangjian still underestimated the value of a mage tower after all.

Even if they were in the Magic Capital where Arthur's magic civilization was the most developed, it was still unimaginable.

Even a legendary mage like Antinoya who has his own independent first-floor research site in the obelisk of the floating city must have his own secret lair.

Legendary mages generally don't take such obvious goals as the floating city. But for the half-plane and mage tower, basically starting from the sixth ring, many mages will make preparations, and some even have more than one.

Senior mages also have enough patience to wait for the completion of a mage tower.

Zhao Xu was different. Although a sorcerer's tower was dug out from the bottom of the lake, the cost of repairing it was not much less.

But it could save Zhao Xu the most scarce time in building the mage tower.

Especially since the opponent is still a cloud tower that can fly, and it took a long time to build it.

A Mage Tower, just like a magic item that has not been identified, can only display its true value if it falls into the hands of a truly knowledgeable person.

Frost Sword and his team couldn't do this.

Even if it is handed over to the association, the reward is only a few pieces of magic equipment, which has long been recorded in the history of the association.

So they chose to let association mages like Zhao Xu get the address of the tower, even though Zhao Xu seemed like the third ring couldn't grasp the mage tower.

But as an insider of the association, Zhao Xu also has a familiar mentor and family, and he can get more benefits by handing in through his channel.

Even if there is no way to directly hand it over to the association, Zhao Xu can make key contributions in the association. Therefore, the top management of the watchmen's union was certain that Zhao Xu would be willing to give up most of the harvest distribution rights of the tower body.

It's just that they didn't expect that Zhao Xu had the ability to bring that mage tower back to the sky.

Because Zhao Xu's real backer was Antinoya.

In Zhao Xu's eyes, the bargaining chip given by Shuangjian was not the address information of a mage tower, but the ownership of a mage tower.

This bargaining chip is already worth the price he has to pay for it now, even if it can only be used after exceeding the tenth level, it doesn't matter.

According to Antinoya, there isn't even a mage tower, so what kind of mage is he?

At this time, Zhao Xu also looked at Shuangjian calmly and said, Of course, I can, but then I need to take greater risks, so I want to get two of the items in the mage tower.

Shuang Jian originally thought that Zhao Xu wanted to start with a lion, but he didn't expect that the other party had just designated two items in advance.

You must know that the Mage Tower hides the wealth of the mages for a lifetime, and those gems and gold coins used as spell materials are the main goals of their group.

As for magic items, it all depends on destiny.

Next, Zhao Xu and Shuang Jian discussed the details and decided on the next plan.

A group of people went to take off the goblins on the ground and the equipment on a few ordinary trolls, and prepared to transport them back to the city for sale.

It's just that goblins are small in size, and most of their armor and weapons are not suitable for medium-sized humans such as Zhao Xu. It can only be transported back to the city for sale and redistribution according to the entrustment agreement in the association at the beginning.

After experiencing this twists and turns, the players of the Watchmen's Union also continued to advance along the jungle. During this period, they crossed the wilderness of the domain and also passed through the sand trap with difficulty.

Finally, on the third day, the group went back to the jungle again. After cutting through a large number of stacked thorn forests, several players who walked close to the border were even hooked and lost a lot of life. After that, the group finally came to a swamp before the ground.

And Zhao Xu was also a little confused. He had been a little strange since yesterday because their direction had deviated from the nearby big lake.

At this time, the Prisoner Demon summoned by Zhao Xu was still standing obediently at the front of the line, looking at the muddy ground without a word, showing no emotion at all.

You won't tell me that the mage tower is hidden under this swamp? Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

If Frost Sword had been teasing him from the beginning, then he would have to show off the killing power of the Soul Prisoner to the other party, and let him know that even if it was a three-ring mage, it was not easy to offend.

It's just that Shuangjian smiled heartily at this time, making the armor on his chest tremble, Mr. Kuangfeng, what we actually got from the descendant of the mage is just a rough azimuth map. Another place.

A mysterious stone room, where there is a notebook handed down by their family. The powerful man who built the mage tower back then recorded the complete construction record of the mage tower, and all the secrets of the mage tower's organs are recorded in it.

Only by obtaining it can we successfully enter the Mage Tower. Otherwise, how dare we a group of one or two level players rush into the Mage Tower?

At this time, Shuang Jian's eyes were shining brightly, looking at the dark and muddy swamp, The stone room where Master Errol's notebook is hidden is just under this swamp.

However, at this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Xu's mind.

Errol!

According to legend, among the group of seven who brought back the notebook from the mysterious tomb, the third person who returned to Mystra was named Errol.

Didn't the other party's family go to the north of the Tianduan Mountains a hundred years ago?

It's just that thoughts were racing through Zhao Xu's mind, and he figured everything out in a flash.

It was the mage of the Errol family who owned the mage tower who died in the turmoil a hundred years ago, and the other family left Mystra.

And that notebook has been hidden in the stone room and has not been taken out!
