The Truth of Magic

188 he doesn’t want to leave (1/2)

Zhao Xu and the other two could tell that there was something wrong with the stone block in front of them, so they calmed down.

The stone stool used by the sundial should not have appeared here in the first place.

The materials required for the bottom staircases didn’t match the actual situation.

these two were enough suspicions to explain the problem here.

There were at least a few hundred people searching this area, and Zhao Xu knew that it was about time for him to go back and report what he had discovered.

The pit fiend was a challenge level 20 devil. Although it did not require a level 20 player to challenge it, it was not something a level 3 player like him could challenge.

If he continued to rashly study the stone block and dig for clues, or even find a secret passage to go in, then Zhao Xu would really be digging his own grave even more than the five young men and women from last night.

Zhao Xu started to pace around the stone block and was about to ask everyone to go home.

suddenly, he saw the shadow of the stone cone on the sundial shake.

at the same time, there was a “pa” sound, as if something had fallen to the ground. the strange sound came from the stairway on the fourth floor.

He then thought of the two smaller stone stools on that floor.

The three of them didn’t look too good, but they didn’t dare to act rashly. They all pretended not to hear the strange sound and the shaking of the shadow.

They suspected that there might already be a pair of eyes watching them.

Zhao Xu didn’t expect that he would hit the jackpot on the first target out of the three targets he had marked.

But he hadn’t even found the secret chamber or the entrance to the underground city. He clearly didn’t intend to take the risk.

Why did the strange phenomenon come now?

However, his two magic items had already been claimed as his, so all that was left was to think about how to escape.

at this moment, zhao xu continued to pretend that he didn’t care and said, ” “we seem to have seen this sundial in a museum?”

when the two women heard what zhao xu said, their eyes lit up. they immediately understood what zhao xu was trying to say.

At this time, whether they could safely walk back from the stairs, they had to communicate well before making a decision.

“Yes, that’s why I recognized him. ai, i’m so tired from playing games recently. should the three of us go back and play badminton? i’ve been practicing a kind of falling leaf ball recently. it’s light and hard to guard against.” Ashvich said.

Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The three of them had never met in real life before, so ashvich’s words meant that she understood what Zhao Xu was trying to say.

zhao xu and the other two had no other choice. as wizards, they could use language proficiency or wormtongue to understand all of arthur’s language.

It also meant that even if they had never learned a language before, the demons could understand their communication using Earth’s language as long as they used the power of Wormtongue.

Therefore, the three of them needed a metaphor.

the players had suffered countless losses because of this. they thought that the mage would not understand them if they discussed how to scam them in mandarin or english.

Zhao Xu could already tell that when ashvich said the shuttlecock was going to land lightly, he was hinting at whether or not they had prepared the feather drop spell.

it would be more dangerous for them to go down the stairs later.

Therefore, the more secure way was to jump directly from the fifth level of the Sentry level, and then use the ” feather drop ” spell to land safely in the air, and then immediately escape.

Featherfall was a level 1 wizard arcane spell. As the name implied, it allowed one to fall from the sky like a feather.

but its greatest significance was that this spell was “free action,” which was more convenient and faster than intuitive action, and intuitive action was more convenient than swift action.

A wizard could do anything they wanted within a single round, which meant that if Zhao Xu wanted to, he could cast a few dozen Featherfall spells in an instant without any problem.

however, most mages would use featherfall in conjunction with trigger before they learned the “action instinct” spell.

it was equivalent to activating a spell with just a thought.

antonya had once set up a temporary spell for zhao xu to change his body shape, and she had also set up a feather drop spell as one of the activation methods.

at this time, wang ningwei said with a sweet smile, “Sure, we’ll go together later.”

she was hinting at her to get ready, or that she had the featherfall scroll.

“yeah, but i’ve learned this before,” zhao xu said.

he naturally didn’t need to worry about whether or not others had prepared spells.

by the way, the report from the museum is about to be submitted. Are you guys done? ” Zhao Xu asked tactfully. He wanted to ask for the other two’s opinions and see if they should run away.

I’m done. I was planning to send it after I go offline. Otherwise, the teacher would be urging me. ashvich expressed that they should go back quickly, the kind that was urgent.

oh, oh, then are you planning to send an electronic report like before? and a paper report too? ” Wang Ningwei asked.

she was asking if she should follow the original path down the stairs or use the feather drop spell to land.

choosing the second option was also a way to tell them that there might be a creature monitoring them. the three of them already knew that something was wrong.

This was also the reason why they were so cautious. If they made a wrong move, they would lose three Lifestones.

then, the three of them would be able to leave the sacred palace of life creation hand in hand.

at this moment, zhao xu nodded slightly. ” but before i hand it in, i need to check the format with you guys. if it’s wrong, i’ll send a text message to the teacher to tell him that i’ll hand it in later. ”

the format was wrong, and the meaning was if an accident happened and they were caught.

The text message meant that Zhao Xu would use the level 2 spell, wind Messenger, to send a message to Reyan’s location.

Wind Messenger was a second-level spell and was one of the few low-level long-distance communication methods. There was a limit to how far the spell could teleport people. It was about 1.5 kilometers per level of the spellcaster, so Zhao Xu could send messages to places nine kilometers away, which meant that the base camp was within the range of the spell.

Anyway, even if Reyan wasn’t in that position, the wind Messenger spell would still make a sound in the designated area, covering a radius of about three meters. Then, it would disappear like the wind, and someone would hear it.

The reason why they handed it in later was naturally because Zhao Xu wanted to tell Reyan that they couldn’t go back.

“or should i ask him directly before?” zhao xu asked.

Zhao Xu asked if they should take the risk and send a message first.

As long as Reyan was in the area where he sent the message. With the abilities of a ninth-circle sorcerer, they would be able to arrive in no time. Even if the pit fiend were to show up in person, they would not have to be afraid.

zhongxia, it’s mainly because I might not have my phone with me. Besides, if you format it correctly, it’ll be unnecessary.

wang ningwei advised zhao xu to forget about it. if reyan wasn’t in the communication area, they would have to wait for someone to inform reyan, which would take a long time. in such a time of rapid change, reyan would only be able to collect their bodies if he rushed over.

This was also the reason why the second-level spell “wind message” was far inferior to the fourth-level divine spell and fifth-level arcane spell “short message.” At least that spell could be used to target a person.

zhao xu had been busy the entire night and didn’t have time to get the other gemstone from reyan. otherwise, if he crushed it right now, he would have been greeted by reyan’s arrival the next second.

Besides, Zhao Xu’s reckless use of this spell would also be telling the demons that were watching them that he knew who they were and that he should come out and stop hiding. He had already called the police.

Zhao Xu looked at the expressions on the two women’s faces and knew that they were both deep in thought, analyzing the pros and cons of this plan.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu knew that he had to make the decision himself.

The two women had given him the position of Captain, which also meant that they were willing to put their lives in his hands and believed in his choice.

” then ... ” zhao xu just started to speak.

All of a sudden, the notebook he had picked up from the pile of gravel in his pocket flew out and floated above the altar.

the countless broken pages began to piece back together.

“yuro.” Zhao Xu shouted and quickly woke up the two girls who were still reading their notes.

the three of them immediately ran for their lives towards the fence of the fifth floor.

The wall only reached his waist, and even the shortest Wang Ningwei could flip over with one foot.

zhao xu quickly made his way to the wall, and he noticed that the other two women were in the same situation.

He immediately grabbed Wang Ningwei, who was still slowly climbing over the low wall, and kicked hard at the wall.

this was the first time in zhao xu’s life that he was able to float in the air without any obstacles and wait for the gravity to drag him down 20 meters.

“Featherfall.”

The three voices were different, but they were all in unison.

At this moment, Zhao Xu started to feel an invisible force lifting him up, and he knew that the Featherfall spell had taken effect.

However, he didn’t let out a sigh of relief. Instead, he continued to cast the wind Messenger spell.

But Zhao Xu suddenly realized that he was looking at the backs of Wang Ningwei and ashvich.

The two women slowly descended from the sky. Their cloaks fluttered, and the lower hem of their robes was lifted by the airflow.

Why didn’t he land?

zhao xu had a hesitant expression on his face as he turned around to look at the stone block.

he saw that the notebook on the stone block was emitting a purple beam of light that fell on his body.

It was also this power that stopped him from falling.

zhao xu now understood that he had picked up the notebook with his other hand, which was why the stone block had woken up.

Naturally, he, who had picked up the notebook, couldn’t escape either.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu felt his entire body start to drift, and the familiar feeling of teleportation came back to him.

he was about to be teleported away!

In an instant.

zhao xu’s body disappeared into thin air.

after the two women landed on the ground, they immediately turned their heads to look in zhao xu’s direction, but they didn’t hear any sounds of them landing.

when they looked up, the sky was quiet.

———

Zhao Xu looked at the pitch-black room in front of him. There was a stone block on the side that looked exactly like the sundial on the fifth floor.

He immediately understood that there was a directional teleportation effect between the two stone stools.

He held the notebook, and the stone block regarded it as its owner, so it directly activated the energy to teleport him to this mysterious and dark place.

even though there was no sound or abnormality in the surroundings.

But Zhao Xu wasn’t going to go out and get himself killed.

he smiled, grabbed the time backtrack talisman on his chest, and said,

“let’s go back,” he said.
