The Truth of Magic

223 Animated item (1/5)

upon hearing the newsboy’s words, all the merchants in the grocery square couldn’t help but burst into an uproar. even the customers stopped to watch.

It had been a long time since winter city had such a lively atmosphere. For a time, everyone couldn’t help but whisper to each other.

“He’s actually a third-circle wizard. That’s not right, Waland and his gang wouldn’t easily provoke the local residents. Usually, they would only harvest US players.” the apprentice mage beside the stall thought that something was not right.

“And that’s only for mages. The monthly management fee paid by the market is all given to the mage Association in the city, even the government office is skipped over. wolan and his men are very smart, they won’t be so reckless.”

after listening to this analysis, shen nian’s eyes revealed a puzzled look, ” i’m just wondering how they were blind enough to fight with a third-circle mage and then get killed. And now they’re still hiding in the temple. It’s obvious that they’re the ones who attacked first, knowing that there’s no reason for them to go out.”

could it be that their target was still the players, but they found out that the other party was actually a third-circle mage? ”

after saying this, the two of them couldn’t help but look at each other, and then let out a light-hearted laugh.

this was completely impossible.

the level 4 wizard at the top of the leaderboard had leveled up to level 5 in just a few days. even if there was no such thing as corruption in the game, there must be some.

The players would flip the forum.

moreover, after this ‘loophole clause’, everyone knew the inside story of this clause. If the mage really reached Level 5, then the ” jump clause ” would be reactivated.

only this time, it was two lines empty, not one.

however, it would be unreasonable if he didn’t understand it this way.

waland’s gang had a reasonable division of labor, and they had many underlings. there was no lack of eyes in the grocery square.

besides, after those people hooked up with the mine owners ‘union of fallen star lake, their power expanded even further.

currently, players were still using ” thick cloth armor ” and ” embedded leather armor “, which had a defense strength of only tier 1 to 3. these were light armors that cost tens of gold coins.

Wolland had hired Arthur’s local fighters as her guards. At the same time, she provided her guards with at least +7 defense half-body armor.

it was only because they had encountered mages this time that they had been so easily annihilated without any means of retaliation.

Otherwise, with the strength of those guards, it was completely possible to drag it out until the city guards came to help.

The three of them knew this very well, so they didn’t need to say anything.

“In fact, if it weren’t for those guards, Wolland’s team, which made a fortune by eating players, would have long been shot in the dark in the wild.”

Shen Nian continued. As a Warlock, the key attribute of her casting was charm, not intelligence.

however, in his previous life, she was able to squeeze out the other intelligent mages and become a key member of the ‘spell consultant team’, which was a high-level organization. her thinking ability was not ordinary.

“You hit birds all day long, but ended up being pecked by the swallow. They deserve this.” the apprentice mage player said with a hint of anger.

“you’ve been harvested?” zhao xu couldn’t help but ask curiously as he weighed the bronze statue in his hand.

there are too many cases of them bullying players. It’s just that because we players are projections, we are also more self-contained, so there aren’t many cases that have reached the management of winter city. Shen Nian explained.

zhao xu nodded when he heard this.

The first reaction of the players in the early stages of the game was not to report to the NPCs in charge of the town, but to fight back.

therefore, no matter who was right or wrong, the city guards and the security team were a headache for the players. it was only this month that the order among the players was much better, and there were fewer incidents that disturbed the local residents of arthur.

hey, ran ran, if you really want to give your brother a present, I heard that the batch of Griffin eggs in winter city is about to hatch, and many people are already going to book them. I heard that Wolan’s gang had already reserved at least two, but after this, I guess they must be scared. the apprentice mage encouraged.

“how much do those griffin eggs cost?” Shen Nian, who was called Ran Tong, asked with a hint of hesitation.

the gryphons had a total of 7 health dice. although they could not compare to a level 7 character, their health points were at least 59 hp.

Now, a level 1 or 2 player with a Gryphon would be able to fight better than a person.

whenever there was a battle, he would dismount and watch his own mount fight.

Not to mention, Gryphons had an ability that current players dreamed of-flight.

the northern alliance’s griffin knight regiment had made a name for themselves in the entire northland.

“this ... i think it’s chenchen.” the apprentice had also heard other people chatting in the mage academy, so he couldn’t remember the specific number for a while.

“a griffin egg is 3500 gold coins, a young griffin is 7000 gold coins, and hiring a professional trainer to train or nurture a giant eagle is 1500 gold coins.” Zhao Xu said as he gently pushed the single-framed glasses up his nose.

It was all thanks to the stable prices in Arthur that the data he had gathered from his previous life could be used.

He still remembered that the woman in front of him, Shen Nian’s brother, Shen ze, had mentioned it to him at a dinner party.

If Zhao Xu was willing to join the outer circle of the Holy guards, he would give him one.

But Zhao Xu knew that Shen ze was really giving him away because he wanted to help him take revenge and he wanted to take his share of the profits, so Zhao Xu still rejected him.

Because he knew that a single Gryphon would not be able to help him.

When Shen Nian and Zhao Xu heard Zhao Xu’s offer, they were both dumbfounded.

currently, a +1 enhanced magical weapon was less than 3000 gold coins.

With it, one would be considered above the rest of the players.

Shen Nian, on the other hand, suddenly understood why her brother had been cheated. Anyone who knew about this kind of price would frown and think of other ways to achieve it.

“forget it, my brother definitely can’t afford it.” Shen Nian lowered her head and said.

but the saint samurai who did good things had never been well-off.

The apprentice wizard at the side also sighed, ” sigh, it’s difficult.

Zhao Xu had already made up his mind, but he noticed that the apprentice next to him was sighing. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “which stage are you stuck at?”

even though zhao xu was walking the path of speed, he had been trained by the final scroll, so his own judgment wasn’t bad. not to mention, he had also gained a lot of knowledge in the legendary library.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu wouldn’t have posted on the forums.

not really. Actually, I’ve read the ‘wizard’s path’ written by guru Dongcheng kun and I already have some ideas. the apprentice mage sighed again.

“well, isn’t that good?” shen nian thought that the other party was having a headache because he was unable to successfully copy the spells.

it’s very difficult to become a beginner wizard. You only have two or three spell slots, so I’m thinking if I should choose the specialization path. the apprentice said.

Hearing this, Shen Nian also fell silent.

As a Warlock, she was not on the same page as a mage, so it was not appropriate for her to give her opinion.

there were eight major schools of spiritual spells, namely ‘protection’,’ incantation’, ‘evocation’,’ prophecy’, ‘change’,’ bewilderment’, ‘illusion’, and’ change’.

Among them, specialized mages would choose to focus on one school and give up on the other. From then on, they would no longer be able to learn and release spells from the opposing school.

And once they made this choice, a specialist mage could prepare an additional specialist spell for every level.

This increase in spell slots from two to three was a huge improvement.

as for the guilds that were abandoned, many players felt that they might not have the money to learn spells in the future, so it was not a pity to give up on the empty buildings.

sigh, the previous post on ‘the path of a mage’ didn’t mention anything about mages either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so conflicted. Recently, many graduates chose mages as their specializations. the apprentice said.

Mages had a huge investment, unlike Warriors who could quickly return to their previous heights after they died and started a new account, so mages were very cautious.

Zhao Xu didn’t think that he would run into a forum player that he had introduced himself to here.

He also let down his guard and consoled, ” actually, if you didn’t have a special training route, you wouldn’t have lost out if you just walked the path of an all-rounder mage.

For example, The Illusionist route inheritance, he remembered that there should be no such thing in the North, even the floating city was cut off.

When Zhao Xu had written that post, it had been a form of insight. After the recent edification, his knowledge had reached a new realm.

therefore, he planned to wait until he reached level 5 before updating the wizard’s path 2.0.

although he was still a distance away from high-circle mages, his height was enough to look down on all new mages, even if asvich and wang ningwei were here.

“I hope so.” The apprentice looked a little dejected, and it was obvious that he didn’t really take Zhao Xu’s words to heart.

zhao xu turned to shen nian and asked her, ” do you know what the bronze gryphon can do? ”

After Shen Nian heard this, she was slightly stunned and immediately smiled, ” “i know.”

Then she pointed at the statue in Zhao Xu’s hand and said, ” ” if it’s real, then after you say the command, this statue will come to life and become a real ‘griffin’ magic beast. i remember the description said that it can be used twice a week for six hours each time. ”

“That’s right.” Zhao Xu nodded in agreement.

Since he knew the most basic information, he was not afraid of the treasure being covered in dust.

Most of Arthur’s magical items had a targeted spell behind them as the basic principle of the item.

For example, the ” Star Cloak ” that Zhao Xu was wearing was a spell with the same name, and the source of the headband of intellect was the level 2 spell ” Fox’s slyness, ” which could temporarily increase one’s intelligence.

The principle behind magic items like bronze Gryphons was the level 6 spell ” animated items.

this statue is real, but it’s a little damaged. It can still be activated twice a week, but it only has four hours left. I think it’ll be sold off a lot. Keep it and give it to your brother.

Zhao Xu immediately handed the statue back to Shen Nian.

“don’t joke around,” Shen Nian didn’t think that Zhao Xu, who had just warned her that there was something wrong with the antidote, would be so humorous.

zhao xu didn’t say much after seeing her take it.

in his previous life, shen ze did not mention anything about this statue to him, and he did not lack the means of ‘appraisal’ in the later stages. this treasure had probably been picked up by someone else.

zhao xu also took out a note and wrote a password on it before handing it to shen nian.

Then, he turned around and left.

Since the newspaper boy was able to come over and shout out that matter, it meant that his characteristics would soon be spread out. He had to go to Qiao village to disguise himself.

at this moment, shen nian lowered her head and opened the note. there was indeed a password written in the common language on it.

But?

Shen Nian didn’t understand what was going on, so she raised her head and was about to ask for Zhao Xu’s name.

he had just told her that there was a problem with the antidote, and she had not had the time to repay him.

but zhao xu’s figure had already disappeared from the grocery plaza.

” damn, he’s walking so fast. he can’t possibly be invisible, right? ” That apprentice had also lowered his head and turned around, but when he looked up, Zhao Xu was already gone.

However, he quickly called out to Shen Nian, ” just give it a try. It’s not like you’ll lose anything.

“Maybe it’s a code to get rich.”

shen nian thought to herself,”how can there be so many things that happen overnight?”

But for some reason, or perhaps it was because of what Zhao Xu had just said, she knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Shen Nian thought about it and still held the statue. She looked at the fanciful words on the note and began to chant.

she found it a little strange. how could the current players write so fluently in the common language? it was as if they had written it for many years and had their own habits.

just as shen nian’s voice fell, she suddenly felt the statue in her hand shake.

with a look of disbelief, shen nian quickly let go of the bronze statue in her hand and let it fall on the table.

Then, a strong wind swept across the grocery square.

damn it, where does the wind come from at noon? ” a peddler hurriedly put the books that had been blown away back in place and hung up the “advance reading is not allowed” sign again.

“Hey, are you still going to buy it?” the peddler quickly asked the customer in front of him, but the other party had turned his head in a different direction.

he couldn’t help but raise his head and found that everyone around him had turned their bodies in one direction, as if they were all attracted to it.

he wondered what kind of excitement was so good, and he also looked in that direction out of curiosity.

then, he couldn’t turn his eyes away.

a shijiu that had the characteristics of a lion and an eagle and was emitting a golden luster was looking at the people present arrogantly.

at the same time, the gryphon spread its wings, which were almost seven to eight meters long and two stories high, covering the entire area.

If not for the empty space above the grocery square, it would not have been able to accommodate such a huge magic beast.

The peddler only had one thought in his mind-

Someone had picked up a treasure and was going to be rich.
