The Truth of Magic

186 Chapter 185-breaking down the door

this time, reyan had arranged for a large number of people to search the area of the paramita wilderness, mainly to find the entrance to a devil’s altar.

This job could have been done with spells, but the pit fiend was able to enter with confidence because of the altar’s special shielding effect.

otherwise, zhao xu’s level 1 divine spell, leyline detection, would have come in handy right now.

when zhao xu first returned to the dark ages, he tried to use this spell to search for the molin stone steles.

however, he also encountered the same situation. in the end, he had to rely on a note left by a family in the village to find his way out.

this was also the reason why reyan had arranged for the low-level mages to participate.

in the end, they were more knowledgeable than the ordinary city guards, and they were able to notice the differences when they encountered some mysterious signs.

Even though Zhao Xu was pretty sure that there weren’t any living people in the tower, he still slowed down and walked forward quietly.

in this way, if he really encountered anything, he would be the one who attacked others instead of being attacked in reverse.

although there was only a difference of one word, it determined who could release the spell first.

at the bottom of the guard tower was a thick and solid wooden door, and on top of it was a specially reinforced iron fence. if they were surrounded, they could barely defend for a while.

The thick wooden door was half-closed at this time, revealing only a gap that was less than half a person’s height. There were many potholes on the door, which had been eaten by insects and ants, forming a hollow inside.

But Zhao Xu stopped in his tracks and didn’t continue forward.

The two women behind him followed Zhao Xu’s gaze and looked over. The bottom of the wooden door showed signs of being chewed on. They could also see bits of wood on the ground, but it didn’t look like it was rotting naturally or being eaten by insects.

“it was bitten by a mouse.” Ashvich analyzed in a low voice.

The world of Arthur had all sorts of mysterious powers, which also affected the creatures in Arthur.

above animals, there were also ferocious beasts. their combat strength was even stronger, and some of them could even match up to low-level warriors.

Above the ferocious beasts, there were also the existence of beastmen, and the most famous of them were the werewolves. however, there were plenty of pigmen and ratmen in arthur. they could maintain their human or animal forms.

however, because their animalism was infectious, once they were attacked and did not survive the strong fortitude immunity, they would become the same animalistic people.

Therefore, this group of people had always been feared and ostracized by the residents of Arthur, and could only survive in the wilderness.

Zhao Xu cautiously stood at the door and did a “listen “. However, not only did he not hear anything, but the skill check in the dynamic bar also did not give him any hints.

at this moment, the two women behind him also shook their heads, indicating that the result was the same.

Zhao Xu thought about it for a moment, then gently pushed the door open. Behind him, Wang Ningwei was aiming her crossbow at the opening that was about to widen. Asvich was ready to cast a spell at any time as planned.

the “yiya” sound was cut off.

Zhao Xu tried to pull on it, but it didn’t budge.

“it’s been a long time, the doorknob is stuck.” Wang Ningwei said.

“then how much strength do you have?” when zhao xu first started adding points to his strength, he didn’t put any extra points into it, so it was always at the initial 8 points.

as a result, the character strength of his game account was naturally weaker than the average 10 points of strength of ordinary humans. this would also affect the strength of his melee attacks and the damage he could deal in close combat.

At this moment, Wang Ningwei and asvich looked at each other and said in unison,”We only have 8 points of strength.”

As expected, they were all ruthless people who abandoned close-combat attacks and focused on increasing their intelligence to the limit.

zhao xu was assigned points to perception and charm, while wang ningwei was probably assigned points to charm, but he didn’t know which attribute asvich was going to focus on.

But as Zhao Xu thought about his stats, he couldn’t help but go back to the very beginning of this question.

he had to deal with this wooden door first.

zhao xu had put in a lot of effort just now, but he had only managed to move it a little. the gap was only a few centimeters wide, and because of that, the door handle was getting even more stuck.

Asvich turned around and looked around, trying to find a tool to use.

At the moment, their backpacks were only equipped with some straps and hooks, so it was impossible for them to carry any blasting tools.

if there were any barbarians with high strength in the team, they could try to break the half-broken door by force.

In the future, when he reached a higher level, he would be able to break through some of the weaker walls in the underground city and avoid the roads with traps.

After all, Arthur was a real world, and there was no way there was only one way to solve it.

wang ningwei was also in deep thought.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but be curious. what? didn’t you guys suggest that I use the level 2 spell ‘knock’? ”

Logically speaking, as a magic-savvy person, ashvich should have immediately reminded him what spells to use to solve the current predicament.

Asvich, on the other hand, had a puzzled look on his face. you learned this spell so quickly? And don’t you only have two level 2 spell slots? it’s not good to waste them here, right?”

” that’s right, zhongxia. i don’t have a level 2 mana recovery pearl right now. ”

wang ningwei added, but she was still staring at the crack, on guard against anything that might come out.

Zhao Xu finally realized what was going on.

Unconsciously, the power of the abilities he had obtained before began to show.

although compared to the players, he had yet to come into contact with the level 3 spells.

However, he was now a level 6 spellcaster with all sorts of buffs, and the duration of his spells was six times longer than those of Level 1 Wizards.

in terms of spell slots, the number of spell slots brought by a wizard’s level was fixed. level 3 wizards had one level 2 spell slot. when they reached level 9, they would have a maximum of four level 2 spell slots.

In the future, when he reached level 20, he would have four spell slots for Level 1 to level 9.

as for the remaining extra spell slots, he could only rely on his intelligence to obtain them.

For example, Zhao Xu’s intelligence was now at 17 points, so he could get an extra level 2 spell slot.

Considering that he only had two level 2 spell slots, ashvich didn’t plan on letting Zhao Xu waste one just to break down the door.

but zhao xu had the multi-talented spellcaster ability, so he could combine the three level 1 spell slots into level 2 spells and cast them.

This also meant that Wang Ningwei’s eight Level 1 mana recovery pearls would allow Zhao Xu to cast four level 2 spells.

when she saw zhao xu’s faint smile, ashvich had a look of anticipation on her face. ” “More than two?”

zhao xu nodded and said,”then i’ll use my magic to open it.”

When the team was having a discussion in the QQ group chat last night, they decided on Zhao Xu’s position as the team leader. There was no other reason than that he was the strongest.

And right now, ashvich was standing behind Zhao Xu and looking at him with a thoughtful expression on her face.

It was a known spell that could not be estimated.

It skipped the ability to cast spells at will.

a spell slot that exceeded the normal level.

When these three factors were combined, he would become an unparalleled mage.

Asvich could only pounce and comment on the child of the plane.

After entering Arthur for one and a half months, the players were already clear-headed.

But that didn’t mean it was a fair game.

as long as the “npc” had a good impression of you, it would not be a problem to give you a weapon directly. If they were provoked, even if they completed the mission, there was a possibility that the “NPC” would turn the tables on them and frame them.

Zhao Xu was fully focused on casting the level 2 spell, knock.

The knocking technique could open doors that were stuck, locked, sealed, or even locked by a secret technique, and it was equally effective on secret doors.

so when adventuring in the dungeon, when the rogues responsible for unlocking the locks and the warriors responsible for breaking the door were not good enough, it could be put to use.

The knocking technique only required a spell to be cast. After Zhao Xu finished chanting the spell, a ray of light appeared in his hand and covered the entire wooden door.

Suddenly, the part of the door shaft that had been rusty due to the passage of time slowly faded away, as if it had been maintained by a professional wooden door craftsman.

when zhao xu saw this, he reached out and pulled lightly. the wooden door, which had been unable to move, was immediately pushed open to the maximum.

zhao xu and the other two cautiously walked up to the first floor of the guard tower.

at this time, the office tables, wooden chairs, and the like were all broken beyond recognition, and most of them had signs of being gnawed on.

the light came through the observation post hole in the wall and shone on the gravel pile in the corner.

They could even see the dust in the air with the light, and the vines had also spread in through the gap in the wooden door, clinging to a large wall.

zhao xu walked over, bent down, took out a shovel, and tried to search the pile of sand.

There were no traces of broken rocks on the surface of the sky, so there must be something strange with the pile of gravel here.

the two women began to observe the wall, trying to find clues about the abandoned guard tower.

On the flat ground outside the Sentry tower, the traces of the original military camp had long been covered up by the power of nature.

only this man-made sentry tower, with its ability to shelter from the wind and rain, could still store some information.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu’s shovel couldn’t go in. There was an obstacle in his way, so he used his gloved hands to gently push away the sand in front of him.

zhao xu realized that it was an old notebook, so he reached out and picked it up. he gently shook off the sand on it.

“Ah!”

suddenly, a female voice screamed.

Zhao Xu immediately turned his head around and saw that there was a berserk rat that was almost a meter long on the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.

It was looking at them with a ferocious face. Its whole body was covered in messy mane, and two sharp fangs were exposed at the corner of its mouth.

those who didn’t know better would think that it was a wild boar.

Zhao Xu looked at the two girls who were screaming in surprise.

afraid of rats?

but before zhao xu could walk over and take care of the berserk rat, four consecutive magic bullets landed on the berserk rat’s body.

The originally incomparably valiant berserk rat immediately twisted its body on the spot and fell heavily on the stairs, letting out a dull sound.

zhao xu was left speechless. he hadn’t seen asvich for a day, but both asvich and wang ningwei had reached spellcaster level 3, and they could now shoot two magic bullets at a time.

he didn’t see such a big reaction from the gnomes during the day.

sure enough, no matter how powerful the two girls would be in the future, they were still girls who were afraid of super-large rats.

zhao xu walked over and decided to take a look at the violent rat that had been severely injured.
