The Truth of Magic

Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the standing man. Compared with the luxurious clothes of most people present, the man was also wearing a large and simple coat in this winter, which concealed his thin figure, but Also a bit out of tune with the people around.

Even the five poorest Warlock players can also match the adventurer suit presented by Arthur Deluxe Edition.

And Zhao Xu also noticed that the other party was one of the few people who didn't laugh secretly just now.

Except for the five absent people, Zhao Xu basically remembered the expressions of the remaining twenty-five people from just now to the present, which was also the effect of intelligence becoming real.

In particular, he noticed that the tone of the other party's confession was very gentle, as if he was standing up and reciting.

It's not the kind of hypocritical confession that pretends to be unconvinced, nor is it the kind of guilt-ridden confession that is afraid of serious consequences.

As if accepting fate, stand up, recite, finish, and accept punishment.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also understood.

It turns out that a class of 30 people in front of me has formed a sufficiently strict society.

And for this handsome student with an indifferent appearance, being able to stand up also means that he is the scapegoat elected by the small organization of the class.

After Zhao Xu recalled the other party's name on the information, he stood silently for more than ten seconds. It was not until someone started to feel strange that Zhao Xu raised his hand to signal the other party to come out.

But he looked at the other students who were about to move, and said directly: If you have nothing to do, just sit here obediently, otherwise it will be another spell later.

As he spoke, he raised the blank scroll in his hand, and the invisible pressure silenced everyone present.

For a while, before finding out the details of Zhao Xu, a ruthless man who raised his hand to drop three or four hundred gold coin scrolls, everyone was more cautious.

After hearing Zhao Xu's order, the indifferent student was silent for a while, then followed him out to another adjacent classroom.

I don't think you look like you've been bullied, do you? Zhao Xu looked at the student named Elleton and said.

He has already memorized the list of personnel in the entire class, and there are also brief introductions of these students on it. Of course, the most important part is which family and which mage each student is a descendant of.

Even a mage, priest, or even a big shot from Mystra specifically asked for an explanation, and everything that needs to be taken care of is very clear.

Generally, people who are bullied have a weak aura, and even walk with their heads down.

It's just that what Zhao Xu saw from this Elton was a sense of indifference that disregarded life and death.

Even players with five resurrection stones have never had this mentality in the game. Those who say they will not shoot to death do not necessarily mean that they are not afraid of death.

No, I did it, just stand up and admit it. Elton lowered his head slightly, his voice weaker and he did not want to look directly at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu immediately regained the mentality he used to teach the trainee martial artists under his command.

Seeing that the other party was not cooperating, he also directly started to attack his heart, Seeing that you look bitter and bitter, it doesn't seem like you will be bullied so much that you can only take the blame? Tell me?

It's just that Elton, who also had black hair and pale face due to malnutrition, still didn't answer Zhao Xu's question directly.

Zhao Xu could only grin at this. He didn't expect that one day he would also have to be a caring counselor to induce conversations.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any good candidates, otherwise there is no need to talk nonsense here.

Elleton in front of him was alone at this time, and he could see the melancholy temperament on the other person even more. Paired with that handsome face in itself, and put it in a university where there are many monks and few food, it is all based on appearance and temperament. Change the role of girlfriend once.

Do you think that a group of people sitting in the next class who rely on the shade of their ancestors to eat and die can help you avenge you? Even if they can't become mages, how can they help you?

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's tone began to penetrate Elton's heart bit by bit with the blade coming from the shop, which also made the other side's face quicken a little.

How did you know I was going to take revenge? Elleton said, with a trembling voice, The school's student information will not publish such materials, after all, it is not a glorious thing. The dean's secretary assistant also just came in That's all, at most she has heard about it but doesn't know much about it.

And she wants to mention something about you. I, a useless person like me, can't be ranked at the forefront. As he spoke, Elton stared deeply at Zhao Xu, his voice a little high.

He also couldn't see through the intentions of this head teacher who was leisurely leaning on a cane at the moment, as if waiting for afternoon tea.

Because no matter how you look at it, this man is very similar to a well-educated scholar of noble origin.

That's why the opponent's resolute attitude just now directly formed a huge contrast, and it was so easy to deter everyone. When honest people put their lives to the test, they will become even more ruthless.

Suddenly, Elleton thought of the strange hobbies of some noble families, and then thought of the two of them staying in the classroom at this time, and a chill came to his heart for a while.

On the other side, Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction when he saw that the other party was able to calmly analyze his information channels under such secret memories that were stinging in his heart, at least he knew how to use his brain.

The Elliton in front of him was also from a mage family of Mystra, and finally the third generation became a mage, meeting the minimum certification standard for a mage family issued by Mystra.

Unexpectedly, it was also in that year that Elleton's family was brutally murdered. His grandfather, grandmother, father and elder brother, together no less than three mages, together with seven or eight servants, all of the dozen or so members of the family were slaughtered.

It happened that Elleton and his mother went back to their natal family that day, and they just escaped the catastrophe, and they became orphans and widowers ever since.

Zhao Xu, who knew the inside story of the year, looked at the other party, but did not show any sympathy, You know, Arthur's major towns collect local information every year and feed it back to the 'source of knowledge'. A murderous family like yours Some homicides, local knowledge and historical knowledge can find some context.

At this time, Zhao Xu did not admit that he had actually failed the knowledge check just now.

However, the Level 1 ability Learning of the Taoist Priest allows him to retrieve some local legends and even hidden information like a bard.

At this time, Zhao Xu already had many rich means. Even if one failed, he could still achieve his goal through another channel.

This is also the powerful advantage of his double elite of mage files and scholars. The duplication of two career paths also means more possibilities.

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, Elleton's face turned a little rosy,

After realizing that this was not the case, he said with emotion: Is it possible to do this with just knowledge and skills without any magical power?

Although it's ridiculous, if your level is high enough, you can even retrieve the truth of some past events with knowledge and skills. Zhao Xu replied.

At this time, Elleton himself fell into deep thought, Then the spell can achieve a more powerful effect?

Do you suspect that there is an inside story about what happened back then? Zhao Xu faintly heard the meaning of the other party's words.

It's just that Elleton avoided answering.

Although I haven't checked the files yet, I'm just judging based on the knowledge I retrieved. But I can also tell you responsibly, any murders involving mages, especially those that have formed a family scale.

It's definitely a joint investigation by the Mistrado departments. Unless the seven giants intervene, no one can cover up the sky with their hands. You can still go to school here, which shows that the incident back then has been settled. The motive may be There are other possibilities, but the fact of the murder is absolutely irrefutable by the evidence. So the murderer is definitely the murderer.

Zhao Xu said calmly, If you think that the murderer was someone else, then I advise you not to waste your time. Because it is true, it is the kind of fraud that never appears in a million. With the ability of your mentor, you can also undiscoverable.

Zhao Xu was very firm in what he said before, but in the end, in order to avoid slaps in the face, he still left a gap.

He believes that Elleton in front of him is not the kind of stubborn fool who will not stupidly call me to investigate clearly.

But Elleton shook his head directly, I'm sure the murderer is him.

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Xu eagerly, But I know I can't take revenge. The moment I failed the mage examination, I knew my way was over.

Even with the sympathy and cover of other mage families, I was able to enter here to receive the next-level 'mentor' professional training, I know that I have no hope of revenge. Only at level 16 can I cast a limited number of fifth-ring spells, which deal damage How could a 'mentor' profession, which does not even exist in arcane arts, let me succeed in revenge!

There was a hint of crying in Elleton's voice when he spoke.

Hey, why are you crying, a big man? Zhao Xu didn't have any sympathy. If the girl on the other side was crying, he could comfort him a little.

And hearing Zhao Xu's ridicule, Elleton was not angry, and immediately wiped away his tears, just like he had done in the past ten years.

Master Zhongxia, I know you are a mage, and you and the big shots in Floating Void City give me the same feeling of danger. Elton said, gasping for emotion.

Although you pretended to use a scroll to cast a spell just now, I still saw it. You actually touched the dust on the scroll secretly first. This extra action should be some kind of spell-casting material. And I heard them say that the spell you cast is The third-ring spell 'Rain, Snow and Storm', then you are a third-ring mage.

At this moment, Elleton suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Xu, If you can avenge me, I'll sell you my life.

Zhao Xu couldn't help being surprised. It would be a pity not to become a priest with such observation and perception skills.

However, it is not easy to become a pastor because of bitterness and hatred. Once one's own obsession conflicts with the devotion to the gods, things often develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Revenge is something you have to do yourself. If someone else does it for you, it's boring. Zhao Xu refused.

And Elleton did not raise his head, still kept bowing, I will only be a 'mentor' in this life, and every time the time passes, the gap between me and my enemy will become wider, and there is no hope.

Elleton gritted his teeth tightly, not letting the tears in his eyes hang down.

It was only after a certain degree of desperation that he convinced himself to accept this fact.

Zhao Xu smiled lightly. If he talked so badly, why did he talk nonsense with the other party for so long.

In the spacious sewers of Mystra, there are many miserable people who cannot see the light of day.

What if I can make you a mage?
