The Truth of Magic

Chapter 314: The Centennial Truth

After Zhao Xu suddenly heard this voice, he asked some private information cautiously before confirming that the voice he heard in his heart was indeed Antinoya.

Because according to his understanding, the other party never boredly observe his actions.

In Antinoya's view, as long as Zhao Xu didn't run out of five resurrection stones, he would be in full condition, so there was no need to worry.

In the end, at Antinoya's suggestion, Zhao Xu paid a bag of gold coins he got for the half-plane mission of death as a fee for buying out the news.

Shuang Jian and others also made an oath to him not to reveal the secrets of this area, and at the same time handed over the notebook to him.

For this kind of one-time buyout, Zhao Xu was also very decisive in setting the price, and when he got it, he still had a lot of hands and couldn't tell.

In fact, the watchman union and his team didn't realize the sum of gold coins that Zhao Xu gave them. After all, they were on the weak side, and they didn't expect the gale mage to be so willing.

In the end, Shuangjian nodded to Zhao Xu to express his gratitude, and at the same time hinted that in the future, he could solve some things that he was inconvenient to come to Master Kuangfeng, or even run errands.

At this time, when everyone saw the bag full of gold coins that Zhao Xu took out, they basically regarded him as a powerful npc who could hug his thigh.

Zhao Xu politely left contact information for Shuang Jian and the others.

Afterwards, the players of the Overwatch Guild rushed back to Mystra overnight, and had no intention of going offline.

After the buyout of Mage Gust, it was their turn to avoid suspicion and leave, and it was even more risky for them to be close to Xifeng Valley.

After all the people had evacuated, Zhao Xu stepped up the stone steps again and stood on the high platform beside the mirror moon lake.

Teacher, you haven't been paying attention to me since I came out, have you? Zhao Xu asked knowingly.

You're overthinking it. It was you who entered this area that made me pay attention to it. Who would have thought that I would meet an acquaintance again?

Enter? Zhao Xu was a little surprised.

The territory of Xifeng Valley is my fief. I will naturally know what you have disturbed. Antinoya said calmly.

manor?

This extremely sacred term, which also represented Arthur's landlord class, immediately grabbed Zhao Xu's heart.

The fiefdom itself means that he has all the legal rights to the territory area, but Arthur's fief acquisition form is extremely strict, because he has to go through the barriers of the gods.

Zhao Xu didn't expect Antinoya to have such capital, and the other party in his mind suddenly felt like a golden light.

In this case, the dire bear was still Antinoya's domestic animal, but they killed it casually.

Zhao Xu also vaguely understood that if the sorcerer's tower really sank at the bottom of Jingyue Lake, then it was really impossible for Antinoya not to know.

If he knew that the mage tower was within three or four days' distance of Mystra when he was in Mystra, then he himself would doubt it.

A hundred years ago, the real mages of Mystra could ignore the fall of a mage tower under their noses?

Antinoya's appearance at this moment finally relieved his doubts.

Teacher, you dug out that mage tower before? Zhao Xu asked.

At this time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the enemies who may be peeping around are also chickens and dogs.

And with Antinoya's intervention, the next notebook will be fused with him.

The mage's tower is still under the bottom of the lake, and I haven't dug it out. Antinoya said lightly.

At this moment, the slightly tipsy night wind blew over Zhao Xu's face, making him feel a little chilled, and it also made him awake a little bit.

Mentor, how low is your bottom? Zhao Xu asked.

Obviously, a group of them searched all night just now, and they spent 60 hours with light spells, but they still found nothing.

That mage tower was smashed into the bottom of the lake by that mage Errol before he died. Hmph, these nine-ring mages had mediocre talents when they were promoted to legend, but they are quite different from legendary mages.

Knowing that I don't like his mage tower, and I'm afraid of being corrupted by other mages. I just smashed it into my territory, and wanted me to keep it for him for hundreds of years for free, and wait for his descendants to have a talented one. When you are a mage, come and dig out this mage tower.

It's just doing business on my head. How can there be such a cheap thing. The mage tower was smashed down by him for a full 30 kilometers from the sky to the ground, so I doubled it for him, and continued to smash three more times under the lake. Ten kilometers. Antinoya said proudly at this time, as if she was very satisfied with what she did.

After Zhao Xu heard this, he could only complain to himself. This kind of revenge was indeed a way of immaturity.

And the opponent fell 30 kilometers and fell in the air. Antinoya forcibly pushed aside the underground rock barrier and forced it in, and the difficulty was not at the same level at all.

It seems that the spell of years without a trace does not increase the age of the heart, and it does have a price.

It's just that Zhao Xu relaxed even more after thinking about it, and he wasn't worried about the leak from the mage tower at all.

Jingyue Lake is 30 kilometers underground, and within the area of ​​10 kilometers around it, the distance from the mage tower is basically about 30 kilometers.

In this way, Shuang Jian and others knew the hiding place of the mage tower, but it didn't make any sense.

The truly significant value is actually the encrypted part at the back of the notebook in his hand. So when Zhao Xu paid that sum of gold coins, he actually bought out the karma.

Huh? Do you want to dig out that mage tower?

Suddenly, Antinoya's figure appeared beside Zhao Xu, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

And Zhao Xu was able to see Antinoya's invisible figure only by relying on true seeing, but he couldn't detect Antinoya's existence from his sense of smell and various senses, which showed that the other party was using a higher level... Ring invisibility.

After Antinoya's teleportation appeared, he kept looking at the fiefdom he owned in front of him.

Teacher, logically speaking, that thing is considered unowned, so it wouldn't be against common sense for me to dig it out? Zhao Xu asked.

It's natural. After those players saved the descendants of Errol and got the other party's permission, they were born to own the ownership of the mage tower. And you just bought it out from the other party, and you also get the theoretical ownership. As long as you dig out that mage tower, you will naturally be its owner.

Actually, Errol smashed in on purpose, and he wanted to let me, the owner of the territory, also own part of the ownership over time. But I don't mind, so naturally you can dig it up as you please. Antinoya laughed happily.

A mage tower, after all, is a big deal.

So Zhao Xu didn't want to have flaws in the process, so he felt relieved when he heard what Antinoya said.

If a group of adventurers broke into the tower and looted the contents of the tower, it would be reasonable in principle, after all, they were all unattended objects that had been neglected for too long.

But if the group of adventurers wants to claim that they own the mage tower, there will be some wrangling.

This is why Frost Sword gave up the ownership of the tower from the beginning, because only the Mage Association can eat it.

However, the premise of possession is to dig out.

Thirty kilometers, Zhao Xu and the others walked in the wilderness for a day, and it was only this distance.

The earth's crust is about tens of kilometers thick, the outer layer is granite, and the inner layer is basalt. Arthur's surface estimates are also approximate.

This shows that the mage's tower is hidden in the rock at a depth of thirty kilometers.

Zhao Xu couldn't help frowning, Teacher, the mage's tower was not crushed by the vibration of the earth's crust, right?

Most earthquakes on the earth also propagate in the crust. He didn't want to dive into the ground at a depth of thirty kilometers in the end, only to find the scrapped mage tower that had been crushed and torn apart.

Do you think it's possible? I think you need to rediscover who is standing in front of you. Antinoya said cheerfully.

Damn, isn't that the legendary mage?

Zhao Xu thought about it angrily.

At this moment, Antinoya turned her head to look at Zhao Xu. Her eyes were very bright in the night, as if they were twinkling with stars.

Whenever you have a way to sneak into the ground below 30 kilometers, you can go in and search for hidden treasures. When you have a way to dig it out, then you are eligible to own such a mage tower.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu frowned.

In Antinoya's words, he was divided into two steps: find it and dig it out.

Just the first one is not so easy to do.

The current technological drilling depth of human beings on the earth is only 12 kilometers.

Zhao Xu immediately reviewed the list of all the spells he knew. If he wanted to go directly to the depth of thirty kilometers underground, he might have to rely on the teleportation technique. At the same time, he had to immediately cast the five-ring Sol Stone Walking Technique, otherwise he would have to be crushed to death by a stone if he teleported there.

However, the Teleportation scroll of Wuhuan was not so difficult for Zhao Xu to obtain.

That is, he had to do a good job of research and make himself extremely familiar with the target location, otherwise he might teleport to a similar area, and even die on the spot.

Teacher, is there any treasure in the sorcerer's tower? Zhao Xu asked, he needed this to determine his strength.

There will be nothing inside later, so if he goes in now, he will be wasting two five-ring scrolls going back and forth.

At least some high-level spell scrolls are not missing. Antinoya replied.

After listening to it, Zhao Xu thought to himself, such words are really worth fighting for.

Well, since you want to use the teleportation technique of the five rings to take a shortcut, then you have to go back to Mystra to do your homework again and investigate the details of the mage tower.

Antinoya saw through Zhao Xu's intentions at once, Forget it, you should accumulate to level 6 in Mystra, and then go out and venture to the Mage Tower after you have successfully advanced. I will also arrange a tutorial for you during this time. Anyway, you are a bit qualified at level 5.

Advanced? Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

Didn't you already get that notebook?

Antinoya's eyes fell on the lead box in Zhao Xu's hand.
