The Truth of Magic

217 winterfell (1/3)

in zhao xu’s previous life, as the sheriff of a small town, he had a magical weapon that gave him a +1 bonus.

even though he couldn’t compare to most of the high-level warriors, who would always have +2 or +3 magical weapons, zhao xu was already very satisfied with himself.

A warrior with a magic weapon was equivalent to a race with a car on earth.

It wasn’t a luxury car, but at least he didn’t have to beg the mages to give him a ” magical weapon ” every day when he went on an adventure.

In the early stages of a wizard’s life, it was not easy for them to allocate spell slots to buff their Warriors ‘weapons.

The most obvious feature of A +1 magical weapon was that it could directly increase one’s attack power by one tier.

If that was all, it would be fine.

The key was that many monsters had damage reduction. Warriors often managed to break through the monsters ‘defense with great difficulty and deal damage with their big swords.

However, he discovered that the damage was instantly eliminated. This was the power of damage reduction.

Fortunately, such damage reduction usually came with a weakness, the most common of which was the damage reduction from being pierced by a magic weapon.

Even if it was other weaknesses, there would often be special effects in magic weapons to deal with them.

Hence, Arthur’s magical weapon naturally rose in value.

if a weapon was to be successfully enchanted and become a magic weapon, it would become a magic weapon.

its predecessor had to be a ” refined product ” worth hundreds of gold coins, and then it had to be enchanted by a spellcaster to be transformed into a ” magic weapon. ”

If the giant scythe in front of Zhao Xu was the most common type of equipment, it would only cost 18 gold coins.

However, if it was a ‘refined product’, it would cost an additional 300 gold coins, reaching a total of 318 gold coins.

after it became a magic weapon, the price would be determined by the strength of the enchantment.

In the legendary range, the enhancement of an ordinary magic weapon was between +1 to +5.

however, magic weapons did more than just increase the strength and damage.

Magical weapons could also add special effects. Arthur usually divided them according to their value with a fixed number of gold coins, or ” +1 ” to ” +5.

for example, when zhao xu transformed into a blazing sky god’s servant, he had a +5 dancing sky greatsword.

+5 meant that the enhancement of the magic weapon had reached the upper limit.

” sky dance ” was a ” special ability ” that could free the user’s hands, and its price was equivalent to a +5 enhancement.

Therefore, the price adjustment of A +5 sky-dancing giant sword was A +10 bonus, which was also the upper limit of magic weapons under the legendary level.

The highest they could reach was only +10.

For example, the +1 netherworld scythe in front of Zhao Xu had A +1 weapon enhancement bonus, and the price adjustment for the netherworld effect was also +1, so the price adjustment was equivalent to +2.

After thousands of years of price fluctuations in Arthur, magical weapons had basically become a very stable high-end trade. Unless there was a local war, the price was extremely stable.

Basically, the price could be adjusted from “+1” to “+10,” with the cheapest “+1” being 2000 gold coins.

The price adjustment of “+2” would increase by 8000 gold coins, which meant that the price of the +1 hell scythe in Zhao Xu’s hands had risen from its original price of 318 gold coins to 8318 gold coins because of the “+1″ enhancement and the hell attribute.

these magic weapons were also the most valuable collateral, so every warrior was willing to spend a lot of money to buy one.

that was why even though zhao xu could be considered a slightly rich man right now, he couldn’t help but feel excited when he saw the magic weapon that bound soul had left behind when he was running away.

This was a total of 8000 gold coins.

As expected, taking a big risk would bring great rewards.

the netherworld weapon was the only item that could be dropped from the void-type, and it might not even drop once in ten tries.

but with this weapon, zhao xu would be able to transform into a real warrior in the future, and he wouldn’t have to worry about being restricted even if he had to fight against ghosts.

but zhao xu kept looking at the giant scythe in front of him and couldn’t find anything special about it. it didn’t have any special mechanisms either.

With Zhao Xu’s hands that had touched countless weapons in his previous life, this was just a very ” normal ” magic weapon.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xu walked forward and stood in front of the teleportation gate that led to the carrion eater’s demiplane.

the edge of the teleportation gate was a stone door frame, and blue-white magic energy ripples were constantly appearing in the middle of the inside. it was obvious that as long as one walked through this gate, they would be able to teleport to the destination.

Over this period of time, Zhao Xu had been going in and out of the floating city, and he had come to these teleportation gates more than once. He no longer felt as excited as he did when he first went through them.

most people who had reached this stage would choose to hold the scythe of key and slowly walk into the portal, waiting for the challenge to come.

but zhao xu was now a wizard with many tricks up his sleeve.

compared to the other players, he was able to see the existence of a bigger world.

Since Zhao Xu had a maximum of 17 level 2 spells, then he would have to pay the price for the information he got.

The various experiences he had during this experiential learning told him that everything was not so simple.

He even doubted whether the scythe in his hand was the real key.

Or could it be that there was more than one key to this portal?

Otherwise, it would be too much to hide the key of the teleportation gate on the body of fear bind spirit and wait for the other party to drop it.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu decided to use a Wizard’s Way of thinking to solve this problem.

since he didn’t know.

Then let the spell tell him.

The moment he knew that his target was a teleport portal, a spell flashed across Zhao Xu’s mind: analyze the teleport portal.

This spell was a level 3 spell for Wizards and poets, but it was also a level 2 domain spell of the teleportation domain.

So, as a level 3 archivist, Zhao Xu was able to cast it.

He took out the lenses and small mirrors that he had bought from the market in the morning and cast the spell in accordance with the incantation in his mind.

the casting time of this spell was close to a full minute.

zhao xu had used appraisal for an hour before, so he was able to maintain his patience.

after he finished chanting the last line of the spell, the second-circle divine spell slot in his mind instantly disappeared. the crystal mirror and the mirror in his hand fused into one and turned into a bright light that covered zhao xu’s entire body.

Then, Zhao Xu felt as if his entire body had turned into a radar. Waves of energy were being emitted from his body and started to locate all the teleportation gates or the gate between worlds within an 18-meter radius.

There was indeed only one teleportation gate on the platform, so all the energy was naturally concentrated on it.

zhao xu was a level 5 spellcaster, so he could cast this spell for close to five rounds.

He was able to obtain a piece of information from the portal every round!

Every piece of information kept popping up on Zhao Xu’s status panel, revealing the secrets of this portal to him.

But the more Zhao Xu looked, the more he frowned.

According to the instructions, he would be teleported to a random location after he passed through the portal with the scythe.

in the place he was teleported to, the power of spacetime would build a hidden temporary teleportation gate that would last for five days, and only he could pass through.

His mission was to find this portal. Once he stepped through it, he would be able to reach the ” legendary half-plane “.

zhao xu didn’t expect that the battle would be pulled to another place.

this also meant that the variable was rapidly increasing.

Even though he was the only one who could pass through the portal, he would be affected by the outside world.

from the natives of arthur to the players, everything was available.

zhao xu was looking at the ” gem ” that he had buried in the corner.

As long as they were in the same plane, he could successfully return to the location of any gem by using the ” gem jump ” spell he had cast earlier.

however, even if he returned, the portal would not return.

Everyone could only activate the power of the teleportation gate once in ten years.

Compared to other people who had to go through a lot of trial and error before they could understand the ultimate goal after being teleported to an unfamiliar city.

zhao xu had used the spell analyze teleportation gate to skip through all the speculations and get to his goal in one step.

This was also the powerful effect of spells.

it could close the gap.

it could falsify speculations.

It could reverse reality.

zhao xu thought about it for a while, then walked over calmly.

speaking of which, his ” analyzing the teleportation gate ” was actually a great weapon. after learning this spell, as long as he could judge the area of the teleportation gate, he could rely on this spell to locate the specific location of the hidden teleportation gate.

Thus, he didn’t need to try his luck like the others.

Slowly, Zhao Xu walked into the portal that was vibrating on the surface, and the power of space started to pull at his body.

A white light flashed.

zhao xu’s eyes lit up.

In front of him was the familiar ” strolling Avenue “, along which there were taverns and eateries everywhere. The huge grocery market next to it was filled with the sounds of players selling and bargaining.

The shops nearby had already lined up their shelves on the road, and the smithy’s chimney stood tall in the distance, constantly spewing out clouds of thick smoke. It was a lively street scene.

Zhao Xu smiled happily.

He had returned to Winterfell from ten years ago.
