The Truth of Magic

233 A deal of eight million gold coins

The mining Association had been running the fallen star Lake for many years, and there had been conflicts in it. It was just that many forces that were stronger than them were still no match for the mining Association.

One of the key reasons for this was that the mining Association had no less than six ghosts.

At the end of the battle, the mining Association made a promise to free all the ghosts.

Ghosts weren’t very difficult to deal with for mid to high-level players. Even though Zhao Xu was only Level 4 right now, he already had a few tricks up his sleeve to deal with them.

however, to low-level players without magical weapons, they were a deadly weapon.

This was also the reason why the players suffered heavy casualties in the battle of fallen star Lake.

this time, zhao xu could already see that the ghost that was hiding in the distance was slowly floating around. it was trying to observe them for a while before getting closer to them.

however, this was also reasonable. otherwise, if he were to be attacked at night every time he went out, he would have to donate some money to the goddess and try his luck.

When he saw this, Zhao Xu just laughed a little and said, ” “have you guys heard of the ‘spirit world’?”

when cui lu’s entire team saw zhao xu, who had been silent the entire time, speak up, they all fell into deep thought.

or rather, after they found out the difference between zhao xu and them, zhao xu’s image became much bigger, and they no longer thought of him as a normal level 1 cleric.

“is it the ‘spirit world’ that coexists with the main material plane but can’t be directly looked at?” In the end, it was the mage Mouton who spoke up.

“that’s right.” zhao xu said.

zhao xu thought about how this group of classmates would all become the backbone of the union in the future, so he quickly gave them some general knowledge.

he didn’t want to make a fool of himself in his battle with spectral soul.

if we go to the ‘spirit world’, we’ll find that it’s a different dimension surrounded by clouds and mist, and at the same time coexists with the main material plane. zhao xu introduced the wondrous spirit worlds. “then, do you guys know anything about the special characteristics of the spirit worlds?”

“the spirit world can see the prime material plane, but not the other way around. that’s why we mortals don’t even know about the existence of the spirit world.” this time, it wasn’t mouton who replied. instead, it was flay, the rogue who stood in the corner.

It was as if she had come into contact with it before.

“Wow, that’s too overbearing.” Zhang Qi exclaimed.

that’s right! du Nan also agreed. doesn’t that mean I can spy on the Prime Material Plane from the spirit world? ”

Zhao Xu grinned and added, ” first of all, the view of the Prime Material Plane that it sees is all blurry. secondly, it couldn’t hear anything. But no matter what, this plane is pretty good for reconnaissance, probing, and secret operations.”

“Are there any residents there?” cui lu, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly said. she had already taken out her longbow.

zhao xu didn’t finish his sentence. since cui lu had asked, he decided to answer her.

“Ghost.” zhao xu said simply.

everyone’s faces turned pale when they heard this.

This wasn’t like the first month when Zhao Xu went out on an adventure. At that time, there weren’t many people who graduated.

At this point, those who had not been to the wilderness to see the scenery might not dare to say that they were the same as the locals.

There were no less than 20 cases of encountering ghosts on the forum, and most of them were wiped out.

This told everyone the difference between a level 1 player and a ghost.

However, everyone’s expression changed when they heard this.

we haven’t walked in the spirit world yet, so we shouldn’t have met, right? ” the female priest, feng ge, had put in some relevant knowledge, so she more or less understood the inside story.

“that’s right.” zhao xu looked calm and agreed with what he said. ” but i think she’ll be here soon. ”

Zhao Xu’s plain and straightforward tone finally crushed everyone’s hearts.

a ghost was about to attack!

Even Flay, who was not afraid of anything, loosened her grip on her sword.

the ‘sneak attack’ that rogues relied on for a living was ineffective against undead creatures that had no physique.

Zhao Xu saw that everyone was starting to run away, so he quickly consoled them, ” “don’t worry, it’s coming for me.”

Everyone finally calmed down a little and looked at Zhao Xu curiously.

In reality, Zhao Xu didn’t really say anything. If the spirit really did appear, its first reaction would be to attack Zhao Xu.

The true intelligence of a spirit was not inferior to a normal human.

“That’s why I need everyone to protect me. As long as I’m not dead, none of you are allowed to escape. If I die, then it’s up to you.”

Zhao Xu said in a bewitching tone.

As long as everyone was willing to stay, on one hand, it could reduce his burden, and on the other hand, he would be more flexible with help.

Moreover, he also had the purpose of training the newcomers.

there weren’t so many battlefields in the world for one to escape.

“mr. priest, do you mean to issue a mission for us to protect you?” Zhang Qi walked over after greeting cui Lu.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, ” yes.

he could only use this as a condition to lock everyone’s desires.

it would save everyone the trouble of fleeing when the ghost appeared. and if he wasn’t careful and didn’t successfully kill spectral soul.

The spirit would then take the opportunity to escape, and with its vengeful personality, it would definitely secretly kill a few people who had just escaped.

then, Mr. Feng, if we can successfully protect you from the attacks of the ghosts, will we be able to? ” zhang qi was too shy to talk about conditions at this time, so he only asked a rough question.

“That’s right.” Just now, he had deliberately taken out the inextinguishable bright flame for this scene.

” if you accept this mission, each of you can pawn a torch to me and stick it into the ground. ” As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, everyone present was completely confused.

However, considering that the priest in front of them had said those words, there was no possibility that they would go back on their word for an ordinary torch that cost one copper.

Therefore, starting from cui Lu, everyone basically stuck a torch in the ground.

Zhao Xu just kept a slight smile on his face the entire time.

Just now, he had deliberately taken out the ‘inextinguishable flame’ torch, not just to show off.

He had to let everyone know the value of this thing. If he could sell it for money, then his next plan would be easier to complete.

at this moment, zhao xu looked at the ten or so normal torches on the ground. flay had also picked up one and stuck it into the ground.

at this moment, zhao xu gently raised his hand, and the spell-like ability ” eternal flame ” that the blazing sky god servant could cast at will was instantly released from his hand.

when powerful creatures used supernatural abilities and spell-like abilities, they would not be so silly as to hold a bag of powder-like magic materials.

So when Zhao Xu cast this normal torch that cost 1 copper coin to turn into the inextinguishable torch that cost 110 gold coins, he had to cast the level 2 spell inextinguishable flames as he pleased.

Just like that, Zhao Xu’s dozen or so classmates had initially looked at him with puzzled expressions. They didn’t know what Zhao Xu was trying to do.

Then, he saw the first torch light up. It was an inextinguishable torch that didn’t burn his hands or conduct heat, but could radiate light within a twelve-meter radius.

The priest was casting a divine spell!

Convert the torches as a reward!

Zhang Qi could not help but feel excited. They could not use it, but this torch was worth 110 gold coins. They could sell it at a slight discount.

Was a Lifestone worth 110 gold coins?

Most players would only think that it was worth it.

This was because many people would not be able to earn 110 gold coins from killing monsters until they died.

However, everyone was still a little puzzled. They were supposed to share the torch?

However, Zhao Xu’s skills obviously didn’t stop there. slowly, the second torch, the third torch, all the way to the tenth torch, all lit up in front of everyone’s eyes.

“I’ve seen a ghost.” Du Nan couldn’t help but recite Earth’s catchphrase.

Then, he was held down tightly, not allowing him to make a single sound, for fear of affecting the strong man who had cast more than ten second-circle spells in a row.

After he was done, Zhao Xu stretched his back and said this to everyone.

“Alright, after I die or if we survive, you can come here and pull out your torches.”

To be honest, this was the first time that Zhao Xu had ever tried out a money-farming skill that could break the balance of the game.

as long as he wanted to, he could make an everburning torch that cost 110 gold coins in one round (6 seconds).

after an hour, he would have 66000 gold coins.

after working non-stop for five days and nights, zhao xu was able to produce nearly eight million gold coins worth of torches.

From then on, he would be able to dump his goods on the entire Arthur continent.

but zhao xu didn’t do that.

he knew that there must be a limit here, so he needed to slowly test it out.

For example, Antonya had a free “wish” spell. If she cheated, she would be able to exchange 25000 gold coins in two rounds, and she would be able to create 8 million gold coins in an hour.

zhao xu knew very well that using spells to exploit an infinite number of loopholes would be balanced out by the will of the world.

However, it didn’t affect him at all if he used this spell as a mission reward to subsidize his classmates who had helped him in his previous life.

it was also his first time to test the waters by using the free inextinguishable bright flame more than ten times.

Now that he had succeeded in this step, Zhao Xu’s next attempt would be even more ridiculous.

ah! suddenly, Zhang Qi’s girlfriend, Feng GE, screamed and pointed at Zhao Xu’s back in fear.

zhao xu turned his head slightly and looked at the ghost that had appeared just as he finished putting out the torch and his mind was about to relax.

“i’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” Zhao Xu said.

The specter’s expression changed.
