The Truth of Magic

232 chapter 231/lighting class

after hearing zhao xu’s words, if it wasn’t for the fact that flay knew that he was her bodyguard and that he had even called out her cheap father’s name ...

Otherwise, she would be suspicious of the other party’s intentions.

However, this was easy to handle. She had grown up with that female thief and knew how to use her beauty to deal with others without suffering a loss.

“Then I’ll go over in the middle of the night?” flay said in a low voice.

“yes, i can.”

The rest of the journey was just like what Zhao Xu had experienced before.

a group of people were traveling together in the wilderness at night.

When the sun had completely set and the night was gradually rising, Zhang Qi and the others took out their self-made torches.

This kind of torch was basically a wooden stick that was cut into a shape and wrapped in linen soaked in oil. It could be bought for 1 copper coin in the market.

however, on one hand, the brightness of the torch was average, and the smoke it emitted affected the feeling of the wielder.

On the other hand, it was easy to put out the fire or set the weeds on the ground on fire, so once the adventurers had money, they would replace it with lamps.

Moreover, the oil content was limited, so the torch itself could only last for an hour.

as the first player to graduate as a wizard in winter city, the wizard mouton took out a lantern.

The interior of the portable lamp had been processed, and a small opening had been made. After the lamp oil was lit, it could emit a cone-shaped illumination area of a full 20 meters through the bull’s eye.

the oil seal was also a good addition to lighting.

” hey, hey, mouton god, how much does your portable lamp cost? ” The wizard players in Zhao Xu’s class couldn’t help but ask.

“12 gold coins,” The mage Mouton said, ” it means that every 6 hours, a small can of lamp oil will be burned off, which is about 1 silver coin.

hearing this, everyone’s interest was piqued. after all, six torches could barely last for six hours, so it would still cost six copper coins.

it’s mainly because it can light up a wider area. It’s always better to be able to see the darkness ahead earlier. The mage Mouton explained with a smile.

The Lifestone was more expensive.

“in that case, our half-orc race is still the best.” the barbarian, du nan, laughed as he looked around at the night view of the wilderness with a proud expression.

darksight was an ability of the beastmen race, and the beastmen could also gain 2 strength points.

“everyone, use a torch if you have a torch. those with dark vision, use dark vision. every day, there are cases of adventurers dying on this road, so be careful.” Zhang Qi also stood up and shouted.

Zhao Xu looked at du Nan and felt a headache coming on.

In his previous life, du Nan had registered an account twice and had always played as a half-orc race with a barbarian class.

it was also suitable for his character. when he encountered a battle, he would activate ” berserk “, which could increase his attributes, and rush over without thinking.

It was just that after transmigrating, this race wasn’t easy to deal with. It didn’t matter if they were all players now.

at that time, if du nan wanted to get married and have children, he would have to find a half-orc.

although in his previous life, du nan himself didn’t care too much.

in fact, people who gave their game ID ‘belly’ didn’t care much about this.

But if du Nan really wanted to become a human, Zhao Xu had a way to help him.

Even if the other party wanted to trade, Zhao Xu, who was a level 20 priest, just happened to have a spell that he could use.

This was also the reason why mages and priests became more and more difficult to deal with after they reached the advanced level.

because of the time constraints, the predecessors had already invented the corresponding spells to solve them.

at least du nan now enjoyed the benefits of being a half-orc, such as dark vision, which allowed them to see the dark ahead without a torch.

It would only suffer when it encountered the darkness caused by magic.

Flay probably wanted to have more light to ensure her safety.

At this time, she also took out an alchemy item from her bag-” illumination staff.

then, she gently tapped the top of the staff, and it glowed like a magic wand, emitting a soft light.

even in areas that were more lit by torches, 10 to 20 meters away, there was enough darkness.

“Damn, there are actually people who want to buy this.” the players who noticed flay’s item couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

the illumination staff was a thin iron rod with gold inlaid at the top. with a knock, it would consume the gold film to shine until the gold was used up, and the light would stop.

a small lighting staff that could light up for 6 hours cost 2 gold coins. it was not something that most people would use.

although it was indeed more convenient than a torch and portable lamp, it would not cause a fire.

zhao xu didn’t think that just a tool of lighting would be able to tell what sort of people were waiting for him.

Thinking back to his previous life, he could only hold a miserable torch and watch the players at that time use portable lamps.

While he was thinking, he took out his everburning torch.

when he took it out, several gazes in the arena immediately turned to him. however, everyone saw that he had also taken out a torch, so they didn’t pay much attention to it.

“Hubby.” Suddenly, Feng GE whispered to Zhang Qi, ” that priest’s torch is weird.

“How is it strange?” Zhang Qi was a little confused.

” he didn’t light it up, ” feng ge said in a low voice. ” it’s already lit up. ”

At this moment, Zhang Qi could not help but feel his back go numb.

if things were abnormal, then half of them had a special problem.

he said to feng ge in a low voice, ” go and inform lulu. i’ll go and check out the situation. ”

after he said that, he stuffed the torch back into feng ge’s hands and walked over to zhao xu.

according to their plan, they would have to walk for another two hours before setting up camp.

zhang qi got closer and looked at the torch in zhao xu’s hand. he didn’t feel anything strange about it, as it was also burning.

it wasn’t until he stopped for a while that he realized that the road was not hot.

he couldn’t help but walk over and ask in a low voice, ” “brother priest, why does your torch look different from ours?”

Zhao Xu had a slight smile on his face. most of the lights you saw in the temple were actually like this.

hearing this reply, zhang qi was a little confused. he had never been in a temple before.

but she didn’t expect zhao xu’s listening skill to be so advanced that nothing could escape his eyes.

after zhao xu used his inspect skill to notice that feng ge was talking about him, he started to pay attention to it.

so, no matter how low feng ge’s voice was, with zhao xu’s level 30 and above listen skill, it was basically the same as talking right next to his ear.

he didn’t even need to use a spy spell like ‘sharp ears’.

Naturally, he had heard Feng GE’s question. Hence, by answering Zhang Qi, he was telling Feng GE-

there were plenty of such torches in the temple, but they only existed in the form of lamps.

for a priest who focused on perception, if he didn’t observe his surroundings, it was easy for him to stagnate.

At this time, Zhang Qi had already returned to his original position. Feng GE also came back from cui Lu’s side. He whispered in his ear, ” “this is embarrassing. that torch is an inextinguishable torch. it’s worth 110 gold coins each.”

f * ck, you’re saying that the everburning torch is 110 gold coins? ” Zhang Qi couldn’t help but shout.

he could not help but be shocked.

He had spent a lot of money to buy slatted armor just like Zhao Xu’s. It provided a full level 6 armor for defense, but it only cost him 200 gold.

A broken torch cost 110 gold coins?

When Zhao Xu heard Zhang Qi shout, many of the players looked over at him. They realized that the torch Zhang Qi was talking about was the one in Zhao Xu’s hand.

110 gold coins?

It wasn’t that it wasn’t worth it, but if he had the money to buy it, wouldn’t it be better to solve the equipment problem first?

Zhao Xu saw that everyone’s attention was on him, so he explained, ” “this inextinguishable torch is a product of the ‘inextinguishable flame’ spell. from now on, the torch will forever emit light without any heat.”

“Really 110 gold coins?” Zhang Qi asked with a trace of doubt.

Zhao Xu shook his head gently. I don’t think so. I’ll just use 50 gold coins worth of Ruby Powder for the materials.

f * ck, doesn’t that mean that the person who bought this in the market would earn 60 gold coins from the difference? ” Zhang Qi couldn’t help but exclaim.

the slatted armor he was wearing was earned by his girlfriend, feng ge, using her abilities as a priest.

The priest Feng GE poked Zhang Qi’s shoulder helplessly, signaling him to shut up.

“if you find a wizard to cast a 2nd-circle spell, the casting service fee will be 60 gold coins.”

the base level of a level 2 spell was 20 gold coins, and multiplied by the level of a level 3 spellcaster, the service fee was 60 gold coins.

this was also the reason why level 9 spells required 90*17=1530 gold coins for the service fee.

A few people nearby heard what Feng GE said and they couldn’t help but take a deep breath as they looked at the torch in Zhao Xu’s hand.

They would not feel that it was extravagant to spend thousands of gold coins to buy a powerful armor.

however, no matter how unremarkable the illumination was, it was shocking that it could be spent over a hundred gold coins.

Xiao Ge, I suddenly feel that you spellcasters can also make a fortune by casting spells for others. zhang qi couldn’t help but be envious.

The priest, Feng GE, explained unhappily, ” “priests” divine spells all come from god. Don’t even think about it, we can’t charge a service fee like mages, we have to serve the believers.”

At this time, Zhao Xu’s classmates couldn’t help but look at their own torch that cost one copper coin, and then at the bull’s eye lantern that cost one silver coin.

Then she looked at the light stick in Flay’s hand, and then her gaze returned to the everburning torch in Zhao Xu’s hand.

Since when was there such a stark difference in social class just by playing Zhaoming?

zhao xu was just about to comfort everyone when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

with a questioning look, he turned his head and looked into the depths of the rubble.

The spirit that had died with grievances buried at the bottom of fallen star Lake had appeared in advance?

but it was a pity that he wasn’t the zhao xu from his first adventure anymore.

No matter what it was, with Zhao Xu’s current abilities ...

he was being polite for not throwing the other party’s ashes away.
