The Truth of Magic

191 The land of death (2/3)

in the third cabinet, there was a small piece of light blue animal skin. it looked ordinary, but it seemed to be alive.

when zhao xu looked at it, he couldn’t even hold the light crossbow in his hand properly.

this kind of thing actually appeared in the cabinet?

why didn’t those death priests bring it with them?

it was a complete waste of a heavenly treasure.

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look back at the severe injury spell scroll in his bag. He suddenly felt that this spell that could deal fixed damage actually made a bit of sense.

zhao xu had seen this piece of skin on cui lu’s body before, so he recognized it.

As a forest patroller with weak escape abilities, cui Lu was able to survive until she transmigrated to earth and become an expert. It was mostly because she had obtained a magical skin in the early stages.

Energy-suppressing skin!

At this moment, Zhao Xu didn’t say anything and cast a detection spell. He used the mechanical Golem goggles on his eye sockets to examine the outer skin.

the information about the light blue skin immediately appeared in zhao xu’s mind, and it confirmed his guess.

zhao xu couldn’t help but clench his fists.

The greatest value of the energy-suppressing outer skin was that it was a mounted item. Like the Ain stone, it did not take up any equipment slots.

there were very strict restrictions on the number of equipment slots in arthur. because of the principle of magic, once two magic items in the same part were equipped at the same time, only one item would occupy the circuit and take effect.

every adventurer could only equip one [ head ] piece of equipment, and zhao xu would only leave this position for the ” headband of intellect ” in the future.

Below that was the [ eyes ], which was usually a pair of glasses or protective goggles. Zhao Xu was currently wearing the mechanical Golem protective goggles, which could turn detection magic into identification magic.

next up was the [ neck ]. on the chest, there were usually necklaces, talismans, badges, and so on. zhao xu was currently wearing the time backtrack talisman that antonya had lent him.

Below that was the [ shoulder ], which was usually a cloak or cloak. Zhao Xu was naturally equipped with the [ cloak of stars ], which was a small godly item.

then, there was the inner robe and shirt, and the outer robe and armor, which zhao xu didn’t have at the moment.

A belt could be equipped for the middle [ waist ].

his four limbs were gauntlets for his hands, bracers for his arms, and boots for his feet. zhao xu was wearing teleport boots for his feet.

he could also put two rings on his [ fingers ], and zhao xu was wearing an ” invisible ring. ”

It could be said that there were a total of 11 parts, with two fingers in the middle. In total, there were 12 places that could be equipped.

Zhao Xu was only Level 3 at the moment, but he had a strong backing, so he had a total of five pieces of equipment now.

even among the players, he was far ahead in terms of magic equipment.

Not to mention that after the equipment was converted to gold coins, even the rich Wang Ningwei might not be as rich as him.

once zhao xu reached level 9, all 12 equipment slots on his body would basically be filled up.

at that time, if he wanted to improve further, he would have to abandon the previous items.

therefore, ordinary people couldn’t afford magic items such as the energy-suppressing skin, which were not counted as equipment.

but for zhao xu, who was going to become a rich wizard in the future, this would definitely be useful.

Zhao Xu gently placed the skin on the back of his hand. He suddenly felt numb, and then the entire piece of skin merged into his arm. A blue light slowly spread throughout his entire body.

It blinked for a few seconds before Zhao Xu’s face finally returned to normal. It wasn’t as blue as it had been before.

The magical skin had already protected his entire body, as if he had added a layer of phone cover.

Zhao Xu touched the back of his hand again, but he couldn’t feel anything different.

The ” anti-energy skin ” was the same as the ” aen stone “, it appeared in the ” mounted items ” column of his character card.

zhao xu was still in a dangerous situation, so he didn’t try to court death and test the effects of the outer layer of the drug.

This skin could be activated three times a day with ‘instinctive actions’, and the damage caused by’ spells ‘and’ spell-like abilities ‘would be minimized in that round.

this meant that if a level 5 wizard threw out a fireball of 5d6 (5-30HP damage), zhao xu would only take 5HP damage in that round.

everything was calculated with the smallest value.

for spells that dealt 2-5HP damage like magic bullet, he would only receive 2HP damage.

basically, when he was in a low-level state, the danger of spells to zhao xu would be reduced by a level.

or rather, he could escape from the randomness.

he could determine the damage of each spell the moment it was cast.

this was more meaningful to him.

At the same time, he also had the star Cloak that could block physical damage. With the two of them working together, Zhao Xu’s physical and magical defense increased by more than one level.

after being stimulated by this cabinet, zhao xu became very excited and started to go through the rest of the cabinets.

among them, there was also a wave of mutated spiders. But this time, his opponent had been killed by a bullet through his heart. Zhao Xu had picked up some money, so he was now shooting arrows that cost one silver coin each. He was quite tough.

But most of the cabinets were empty after that. Two of them were stuffed with a stack of manuscripts, but as soon as Zhao Xu picked them up, the entire stack of manuscripts couldn’t hold up any longer and fell to the ground.

In the end, Zhao Xu’s most valuable loot from the remaining cabinet was just a bunch of antique gold coins.

he didn’t have any appraisal skills, and he didn’t dare to waste them by using skills that could increase his skill level.

therefore, the price of these gold coins from the last era had to be appraised after going out.

it was a pity that appraisal art could not be used in this aspect.

After he was done looting, Zhao Xu got up again and walked down the corridor in the living room.

The inextinguishable flame torch on the corner of the wall was still as good as new even after 100 years. It was worthy of the 50 gold coins ‘material cost to cast the spell.

After leaving the banquet hall, Zhao Xu realized that this was indeed the living quarters. Right next to the living quarters, there was a sign that said “Kitchen “.

the kitchen was equipped with an iron gate, which was tied with a horizontal bar outside.

Zhao Xu didn’t quite understand what was going on, but after being provoked by the cabinet, Zhao Xu also planned on ransacking the entire room.

He gently opened the door of the kitchen and was about to peek in when he suddenly smelled a foul smell.

when zhao xu realized what was going on, he immediately stomped his feet and quickly ran back in the direction of the restaurant.

The moment he dodged, a black shadow pounced out from the inside and hit the ground heavily.

zhao xu took a closer look and saw that it was a ghoul with rotten skin and a foul stench. its body was very rugged, and he could clearly see all kinds of bones and bones.

Zhao Xu was sure that when the two girls saw this, they wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from vomiting.

This Ghoul was indeed disgusting no matter when he looked at it.

At this moment, the other party’s eyes, which were like burning charcoal, were wide open. Coupled with the deep eye sockets, there was an inexplicable sense of evil.

“bang!””bang!”

Immediately after, the other four ghouls also jumped out.

They looked at Zhao Xu with ferocious expressions, but they didn’t dare to act rashly.

the person in front of him was too calm.

“fireball!”

at this moment, zhao xu didn’t say anything. he just held the eternal wand in his hand and cast the most classic evoking spell.

In an instant, the flame ball that flew past landed behind the ghouls.

before they could react, the entire space was covered in a wave of fire.

The scorching flames engulfed the ghouls one by one.

The flames created by evoking energy came fiercely and left quickly.

In less than two to three seconds, the smell of sulfur still filled the air, but not a single flame could be seen.

There were five ghouls lying in front of Zhao Xu that had already been killed by the fireball spell. They were all charred black and would break into pieces at any moment.

he shook his head slightly when he saw this scene and directly stepped over the ghouls that didn’t even have time to attack.

the ghouls ‘attacks were numbing, and if an ordinary person was entangled, they might even be numbed to death.

As for Zhao Xu, the ghoul’s inborn weapon couldn’t be considered a magic weapon, so it had no effect on him.

But Zhao Xu was also very disgusted by the ghouls, so he didn’t want them to pounce on him.

zhao xu didn’t have the ability to throw another fireball into the kitchen to explore the way. after a while, he used a wooden stick to pry open the door that had just been closed and looked inside.

zhao xu couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine when he saw this.

The entire kitchen still had the same classical layout from hundreds of years ago, but the various stoves were covered in scratches, and all the ladles and basins were overturned on the ground.

The only thing that was not rotten was food.

he then thought of the door that had just been bolted.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but have a look of sympathy on his face as he looked at the ghouls that had already died on the ground.

A noble priest would naturally not cook for himself.

even if they had divine arts to make delicious food, they wouldn’t be so wasteful, unless they made food for battle that could improve their state.

This meant that these ghouls were once cooks, servants, or even believers who had cooked for the priests.

After the priests of death left, they would lock them inside and slowly starve to death. In the end, those who survived or even died would become undead creatures-ghouls.

zhao xu wasn’t in the mood to go in and explore anymore. he glanced at the bones on the ground, then turned around and left.

the only thing he had decided on was that even if he really died in the future, he would still put protection from evil on himself before he died.

in case he turned into an undead creature after he died, he wouldn’t be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.

Zhao Xu continued to walk forward. This time, he skipped the study rooms, bedrooms, meeting rooms, and other rooms. He continued to walk towards the end of the corridor.

After he realized that there might still be undead creatures here, Zhao Xu decided to prioritize searching the entire area.

At the end, Zhao Xu reached the end of the corridor. He had already passed by more than ten rooms and had a rough idea of the layout of this living area.

at the end of the corridor was a gate without any sign or sign.

It was only half-closed and not locked.

Zhao Xu looked at the complicated patterns on the gate and couldn’t help but start thinking about what they meant.

then, zhao xu lightly kicked him and pointed the wand in his hand forward.

the light from the eternal flame torch in his hand broke through the darkness in front of him.

Zhao Xu saw-

A total of thirteen stone coffins were placed in this Hall. Together with the dark colored curtain above, the atmosphere was solemn.

on each of the coffins, there was an introduction.

sieg, an eighth-circle priest, died in the year of his death, june 13th.

Thams, a priest of the seventh circle, died in the year of death, June 13th.

......

Endermork, a ninth-circle priest, died in the year of death, June 13th.

zhao xu’s gaze followed the path all the way to the very front.

on the wall of the burial ground, a line of words was written in blood-like paint-

I only hope that my master will Live After Death.
