The Truth of Magic

Chapter 644 All the way to the north

Following Zhao Xu's self-introduction, everyone sitting in the atrium suddenly looked slightly thoughtful.

Although everyone has traveled to Arthur now, there are still very few people who introduce themselves with a place name. It sounds like an official high-level person, and they are proud of it.

But everyone obviously hadn't forgotten the tone of Zhao Xu that Mother Zheng mentioned, and for a moment everyone stared at Zhao Xu standing at the door.

Why are you still standing there? Zheng Xinyun's grandfather immediately scolded the two family juniors who were waiting at the door.

Only then did they come to their senses, and hurriedly bowed to invite Zhao Xu inside.

At this time, mage can be said to be one of Arthur's few noble professions.

Especially in the current wild and dead land, as long as there are players, vocational training is being carried out one after another, except for the mage profession, which has not been developed much due to the difficulty.

In other words, Yanan has this condition at the moment.

Therefore, the spellcasting professions in the wild dead land were completely equal choices in front of the players, and they were not divided into three or six grades. At this moment, after crossing, because of the different evaluations, they slowly began to become more expensive.

The visit of a mage and the visit of a warrior will indeed be treated differently.

And Zhao Xu was not as cold and self-confident as before. Seeing the familiar face of Zheng's father and mother ten years ago made him feel even more distressed and nostalgic.

Taking Zheng Xinyun's family background as an example, without Arthur, the two of them could be said to be parallel lines, and there was absolutely no possibility of intersecting, even if Zhao Xu's parents were considered to be of low wealth.

That's why Zhao Xu didn't look for the other party when the game started.

It was a distance that was difficult to even get close to.

He even looked at the whole family of the Zheng family who were present at this time, as well as Yuner's circle of friends.

Even though many people are down and out in Arthur, the self-confidence cultivated by the acquired family background is still restrained.

Of course, after the first week of starvation, the upper class who still hold the idea that they are the masters on earth have long been awakened by reality at this moment.

Even if some players flattered with the idea of ​​returning to Earth, after the wave of undead, they more or less understood that only their own strength was real, and they could not be hungry.

Other former halos and assets have long since become mirrors.

Not to mention that these classes are able to stand upright, they are extremely sensitive to the direction of the wind, and they will never hesitate to use what attitude when.

The barren and dead land at this moment is more like a predicament of the end of the earth. The original power and capital no longer exist, only power is eternal and the new master here.

You are Yun'er's good friend before she was alive? I have heard your name from her, it's rare that you still come here with this friendship, thank you.

At this time, mother of Zheng also stood up and shook Zhao Xu's hand to thank him.

For some reason, she naturally had a crush on this handsome young man.

When Zhao Xu walked in, everyone was amazed at his amazing attractiveness.

On the other hand, he also stared deeply at the four Ion Stones floating above his head.

It has different colors and shapes, from spindles to prisms, from transparent to colorful, hovering above Zhao Xu's head.

For a moment, the players who knew the inside story of the Ion Stone couldn't help but keep silent, staring at the strange object that had escaped the shackles of gravity.

Following the Ain Stone, the crowd slowly analyzed Zhao Xu's outfit from top to bottom - although the cloak looked plain, it couldn't conceal the luxury of the wine red cassock inside, and the gloves, ring, The boots, even the headband and the crystal on the forehead, looked very likely to be magic items.

First echelon? Someone named Zhao Xu? Some players were already muttering about Zhao Xu's identity.

But the first echelon is just one or two magic items. Four ioun stones are equal to four magic items. The top 100 players before crossing through such methods may not be able to get it.

Probably in the top ranks.

At this time, through the introduction of the younger generation of the Zheng family, the elders realized how expensive the four extremely obvious Ien stones on Zhao Xu's head were.

And even equipped with the Ion Stone, it is even more unreasonable not to have a few magic items on him.

Just like them on Earth, buying a super-luxury sports car is one thing, and many businessmen can afford it. The key is that there are subsequent car maintenance and repair costs, which are the big ones.

Yun'er is my close relative and friend, and I never thought that she would suffer such a disaster. Zhao Xu's voice sank as he spoke. Coupled with his extraordinary charm at this moment, everyone felt the inner sadness.

Speaking of which, Zheng's mother thought of Yun'er's daily life, and felt sad for a while.

Are you Yun'er's good friend in the game? Suddenly Zheng Xinyun's best friend Qi Qi asked, Why haven't I heard of you before?

During the day, there was already a very hungry man who wanted to come in and grab someone's head for a meal. Although the other party looked extraordinary, she had to verify it clearly.

Didn't auntie mention this name just now? Qi Qi, you forgot? Suddenly another poet girl explained for Zhao Xu.

From the moment Zhao Xu came in, she looked at him very pleasingly, and she was inclined to explain for him in her heart.

I know, but the secrets involved in Yun'er's life are too great, I think it's better to be cautious.

We met when she was training as a pastor in Mistra, Zhao Xu said.

To his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his previous life, Zhao Xu had no intention of lying.

However, some things are too complicated to explain, so it is better to be simpler.

That's not right. Qi Qi muttered to himself, Although you mages are also trained by Mystra, mages and priests are not in the same place.

I was serving as a lecturer, similar to her role as a guide. Zhao Xu explained with a smile.

Are you joking?

At this time, not only Qi Qi showed an incredulous look, but even the surrounding players showed suspicion.

Yun'er entered the game only two months late. At that time, we players hadn't developed enough to pay attention to the role of a guide. Qi Qi retorted coldly.

I still have a code name in the game.

At first, Zhao Xu naturally used his real name to his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his previous life, because it was probably the same name that Yuner used when introducing them.

Now that the real name has been introduced, the rest of the identity is even less worthy of being kept secret from close relatives.

Suddenly, there was another noisy sound outside the door, and it was heard that there were not many people coming.

Before it was even communicated, a group of people from outside broke in.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache. His face was indifferent. From his frivolous steps, it could be seen that he was not a professional. On the contrary, the seven or eight people who followed him were basically warriors and mercenaries.

It's the people in the camp who are responsible for the civil construction of the house. A few days ago, they were the ones who approved this big house for Yun'er.

As the head of the family, Zheng's father also walked forward quickly at this time, stretched out his hand to the visitor, and said politely: Brother Liu, if you have anything to tell us, just come over, there is no need to bother you specially Run over here.

If the other party is on the earth, he won't even take a second look.

But time has changed, and now it is the other party who holds the power.

The middle-aged man surnamed Liu waved his hand politely, and said formulaically, Brother Zheng, I just heard about your daughter. Please don't blame me for suddenly visiting at this time.

What's the matter? Hearing that the other party didn't even bother to say a word of silence, Father Zheng also understood that the battle was not good.

The main reason is this. Liu immediately took out a stack of parchment from his bosom, on which were recorded the files of the newly allocated residence, Brother Zheng, you also know that Ling Ai Yun'er, because of her status as a priest, and The camp has signed an assistance agreement to provide a certain amount of magical support every day.

So the first batch of houses built in the camp after receiving support from Yanan were assigned to your family. Those players at the fifth and sixth levels haven't even had their turn yet, let alone the non-player executives in the camp. Liu asked back, You have to admit this.

Father Zheng also nodded with a serious face, That's right, we are really grateful to the camp for that.

But the current situation is that Pastor Yun'er has passed away. And in the case of housing shortage, many senior players have not even been allocated a small room, and the trouble has already been very unpleasant. So— Liu said Then he stared deeply at each other.

All of a sudden, the relatives and friends of the Zheng family became noisy, looking filled with righteous indignation.

Not to mention that the talent just left, the sky is about to rain heavily at this time, and the family will go out to soak in the rain. Without the support of Yun'er's magic, life and death will be unknown.

It's hard to say whether the old people can survive.

What do you mean? It's only been half a day, and it's so fast that someone came over to collect it?

Yeah? Who dares to fight for Yanan like this?

Is this the attitude towards the martyrs who died for Yanan?

Immediately, Yoona's player friends shouted loudly.

The members of the Zheng family had to bow their heads under the eaves, and players like them were originally from the power class, so they spoke loudly at this time.

But for the middle-aged Liu to be able to come here, he naturally has a foundation to rely on, not to mention that behind him is a larger class of players.

He immediately showed a stiff smile and said, Don't worry, please listen to me first.

Of course, he wasn't worried about the Zheng family. But if he didn't handle this group of players well, it would be somewhat troublesome, so he naturally opened his mouth to explain.

If Pastor Yun'er was killed in the previous wave of undead, then according to the regulations, the pension will not be taken back. But the problem now is that Pastor Yun'er was not performing an official mission, but died of an accidental attack in the wild.

In the beginning, the camp allocated this house to Pastor Yun'er because she wanted to take advantage of her magical powers. Power and duty complement each other. Now that Pastor Yun'er has unfortunately passed away and is unable to perform the task, then taking back this special power is not what it should be. do you mean?

Hearing this, Father Zheng's face was also stiff, but he could only calm down his inner emotions, and explained: Then Brother Liu, you also know that our country has this kind of funeral custom, can you be tolerant for a few days, and lend this place to us first? Let's relocate after Yuner's funeral is over.

Not to mention that the heavy rain is about to fall now, dozens of our family will be kicked out and we will have nowhere to live. Father Zheng looked back at his family as he spoke.

Originally, everyone was in the Forty-Nine City, and they could all live in their own mansions or villas.

Now that the matter of time travel has happened, basically the whole family has come to him. On the one hand, Father Zheng has surpassed several uncles and brothers to become the core of the whole family. Playing on the floor, but this kind of family glory is something he has never experienced before.

But now, all of them have turned into deep pressure.

I'm sorry, Brother Zheng, that's why I came here on purpose. As he spoke, Liu looked at the seven or eight soldiers and mercenaries behind him.

They are the expropriation team that came to cooperate.

I took the liberty to come to the door with apologies. It is precisely this heavy rainstorm that is coming. You also know that this camp area used to correspond to the capital of the earth. Who can settle down is not a family with a family and friends everywhere. Those 5, Level 6 players still haven't got their turn to house, and they are also anxious about the heavy rainstorm and the safety of their families.

As he spoke, Liu continued to maintain his formulaic smile.

It was the high-level players in the entire camp who were calling for this house, and he was speaking for their interests, which cannot be reversed by the group of players present who are no more than level 3.

I'll go to the higher-ups to complain. Qi Qi stood up and protested, Before so many high-ranking officials in Forty-Nine City were in the first batch, they were allocated houses earlier than the players. Why don't you take back their houses? Aren't you looking for soft persimmons?

The middle-aged Liu surnamed said with a smile, Ms. Qi Qi, please rest assured. With the spread of the news, everyone also knows that the earth will not return, or that the fate of the universe will be destroyed in two years. So these former upper-level The assigned house is also in this recycling sequence.”

As he spoke, he turned to Father Zheng, Brother Zheng, you don't have to worry, Pastor Yun'er still has a lot of friends, and someone will take care of your husband and wife and provide accommodation.

As soon as these words came out, most of the dozens of relatives of the Zheng family behind them felt cold.

Now the players who can be assigned to the house, whoever is not home is full of relatives, can barely make room for Zheng's father and Zheng's mother.

As for the group of them, it must be out of the question.

Even the players who are visiting in front of us don't have many assignments at the moment, and most of them are just temporary tents.

If it were on Earth, where would it be your turn to talk like a dog? My cousin died for you, Yanan. Is that how you treat her relatives? An adult man of the Zheng family said loudly. protested.

Master Zheng's family, the times are different now. Liu stroked his mustache and said.

This is no longer the era when you guys are driving sports cars to block roads and rushing through important places with passes like entering no one's land.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that Young Master Zheng and your family background haven't reached this level yet. At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Liu replied with a hint of sneer.

Why.

Suddenly a sigh came.

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Zhao Xu who made the sound.

And the middle-aged man surnamed Liu also noticed the other party with the Ain Stone on his head at the beginning, a little jealous, but not too worried.

Because standing behind him is the entire player group, as well as the entire Yanan faction.

As for Zhao Xu, who had been locked on by everyone again, he was sighing at the wooden eyes on a fir beam in the room with his hands behind his back.

This house that high-level players want you to fight over is essentially the simplest earth-embryo house, but it only occupies a large enough area.

At this time, it is not necessarily difficult for players to build an earth embryo house outside the city, but the key is safety.

Everyone knows that the house in the center of the camp is the safest. And the land here is strictly planned, and if you want to build a big house, you have to have enough ability.

As for Zhao Xu's sigh, it was the first time he felt that he paid too little attention to Yun'er.

When he was with Yun'er in the previous life, he ran to his father-in-law's house, even more diligently than himself.

At that time, if Zheng Xinyun succeeded in being promoted to a pastor, he would not even be introduced to him by the matchmaker, because he had already gone to another circle.

Looking at this house that was built too quickly and was also extremely leaky, Zhao Xu could only blame himself for the fierce competition between you and me.

Yun'er's parents, if you are given a chance to go to the capital city of Yanan, are you planning to go there or stay here? Zhao Xu asked.

Naturally stay here. Suddenly Mother Zheng said decisively, Yun'er was born here and died here, and I will never leave this place for the rest of my life. Otherwise, what if her soul can't find a home after death?

After saying this, several women of Zheng's mother's age all burst into tears.

The others looked at Zhao Xu expectantly, maybe he, a mage, would have a way.

That's good. Zhao Xu nodded.

Then he pressed one hand on the wall, which was completely bare earth bricks without any whitewash.

In an instant, the wall became hardened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the soil on the ground turned into mud, which climbed up along the wall, slowly forming the architectural style of the second floor.

In the next second, countless translucent invisible servants poured out one after another, picking up mud and pulp, like hardworking servants processing and repairing this simple house.

Then Zhao Xu took out a magic scroll with five rings and cast it.

It's the holy dwelling technique!

In an instant, the priest player recognized it.

What is it? Why haven't I heard of it?

That's the five-ring magic. From now on, this area will be permanently covered by the three-ring anti-evil magic circle. At the same time, any corpses within the range will not be transformed into undead creatures. Generally, only sacred places like temples can cast this kind of magic.

Immediately afterwards, seeing Zhao Xu's actions, the pastor's eyes widened even more.

He added the spell of enduring the environment to the Holy House. This is a special effect of the Holy House. The added spells can last for a year. In the next period of time, this area will be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Oh my god, there are also death barriers, blessings, removal of fear, elimination of invisibility...

What's the matter? At this moment, everyone could hear the surprise in the pastor's mouth.

For this spellcasting, the material cost alone costs tens of thousands of gold coins.

For a moment, everyone stared at Zhao Xu, even the middle-aged man.

This is no longer a level contest.

Tens of thousands of gold coins were thrown out casually, and everyone knew that the identity of the man in front of him was absolutely unusual, and even people on earth would say otherwise from time to time.

You go back and report to them, just say that I gave this land to Yun'er's family, it will never be easy. Zhao Xu looked at Liu and said.

As for the middle-aged man surnamed Liu, he showed a stiff expression at this time, Mr. Master, I really admire the power you just displayed.

But Yanan's land, according to the will of the original goddess, is owned by our lord Zhong Xia.

Zhao Xu said in relief——

It's okay, I'm Zhong Xia.
