The Truth of Magic

562 Mage seed, saint’s descent

Zhao Xu’s heart trembled when he heard this.

even the ” ernest’s secret treasure ” that plundered the endless wealth of the entire continent in arthur’s ancient times and laid the foreshadowing for the collapse of the powerful magic empire, which made all the forces in arthur hide and not dare to show themselves, was just a trick to fool people?

Not to mention, behind the real treasure vault, Antonya still had a fake one.

The treasures stored inside were less than one-tenth of the real vault, which was the lost inheritance of the former ITRE dynasty.

Zhao Xu had once followed Antonya around and called her big sister. He had passed the test of the living cellar, which was used to protect the legacy, and he was allowed to enter it.

Back then, Zhao Xu had gotten his Star Cloak from this place.

He still remembered himself in treasure Room No. 1. He was so dazzled by the divine weapons that he almost couldn’t open his eyes.

And now Antonya was telling him so directly that even the Manku was just a cover.

The true value lay in the seemingly powerful but actually powerful ” Association of mages “. Each of the big shots had a certain Foundation, and they were barely gathered under the jurisdiction of the president.

This was also the reason why the association of mages controlled more than 90% of the mages and spellcasters in Arthur, but did not really crush everything and rebuild the magic Empire.

Which country didn’t have a relative of a legendary-mage? countless forces spent a lot of money every year to send their own to Mystra to study, just for this continuation.

Otherwise, the Association wouldn’t have the ” final scroll “, ” arcane art Union “, ” Magic guard “, ” Rose Cross ” and other independent organizations that didn’t manage each other.

” teacher, is there any important secret in the sorcerer’s association? ” Zhao Xu asked.

In the face of this question, Antonya shook her head slightly and changed the subject. ” zhongxia, what level do you think the wizards in arthur are at? ”

even though zhao xu didn’t know why antonya would say something like this, he still followed his own system of knowledge and said, ” it’s very rare for fifth-circle and above wizards to appear. in some remote and small countries, a seventh-circle wizard is already enough to influence the succession of power. ”

zhao xu was being very direct. in reality, there were only a few powers above arthur like the empire of the east, the northern alliance, and the duchy of xiluo that had more than ten large cities. most of them were just small, self-governed duchies that occupied a large area.

Most of the time, there were only one or two temples in a small country with middle and high-level gods, and the faith of the entire small country leaned towards the same God.

It would not be like Olu, the capital of the northern Alliance, where there were no less than ten divine churches in the city.

The legendary mages were more like powerhouses that would not appear in the world.

usually, he would do magic experiments in his own mage tower or interdimensional space. occasionally, he would take in apprentices, or simply experience life, living in seclusion in some small villages.

Legend had it that two legendary mages and three ninth-circle mages lived in a village a hundred kilometers away from Mystra. If any blind thieves were to barge in, they would probably encounter a painful experience that they would never want to recall for the rest of their lives.

it was already a great fortune for him to die successfully.

generally speaking, many local forces hid powerful spell casters who had broken through the age limit of their lifespans. only when there was a serious change of dynasties would they be faintly seen.

” teacher, according to your initial words, you intend to lend me the secret inheritance of the itre dynasty to help me build yanan? ” Zhao Xu returned to the central hub.

“naturally.” antonya nodded. ” but there’s a condition. ”

as she spoke, antonya gently pressed down on zhao xu’s shoulder, as if she was presenting him with an honor.

“I need you to set up a Magic Academy in Yanan and start recruiting apprentices.”

“and you don’t have to worry about the problem of teachers. i’ll arrange for the association’s secret forces to provide assistance. The key to the problem is ...”

“Source of life?” Zhao Xu immediately understood.

“That’s right.” Antonya stood on this small hill, and the wind from the valley blew against her face, causing her cloak to flutter in the wind.

“This time, we need seeds.”

“It concerns an important plan of ours. We need to cultivate a new batch of mages who are clean and pure from beginning to end. The transmigrators from earth are exactly the type of people we’ve placed our pieces on. Only they are satisfied with not being infected from the beginning to the end, and not having to worry about other forces infiltrating them.”

There were only a few people like Antonya and Wuyue who had been able to pass through the material energy passage before they transmigrated.

As she spoke, Antonya’s eyes seemed to be able to see through the long river of time as she stared at Zhao Xu, who was under the same sky.

“You’re so cautious that you can’t even focus on teaching in Mystra? even if teacher, you already represent the sorcerer association?” Zhao Xu asked in a serious tone.

“That’s right.” Antonya nodded. when you visited a student at the civil service Academy in Mystra who had dropped out of school and was at home, didn’t you find out that this student who had been training as a wizard in floating city had become a half-purgatory creature? he had become a target even before he entered floating city.

the floating city is too big. It can’t block the peeping eyes and gazes of others.

divine power is, after all, a purer form of power above spells. It can achieve many unimaginable miracles.

” i’m the only one who’s going to choose a wizard apprentice from this sea of billions of people? ” Zhao Xu asked.

He had already realized that there must be a huge plan behind this, and it required a group of mages with clean backgrounds as a reserve force.

it was like the composition of legendary spells.

Normally, the power of a legendary spell was directly related to the difficulty of casting it. If one didn’t care about their life, they could set up an unsolvable ” legendary spell “, but this would require a huge amount of ” spell identification ” level to cast.

If one’s identification level was not high enough, they would have to reduce the difficulty of casting the spell by hand. The methods included adding the legendary ” cold fire ” material that was within sight but not within reach, as well as bearing the cost of recoil or increasing the casting time.

There had once been a legendary wizard who had developed a world-destroying legendary spell. However, no legendary wizard had been able to challenge it and cast a spell for a thousand years.

In conclusion, the most useful and most stable way to stabilize the spell structure and increase the success rate for legendary Wizards was to let spellcasters below the Ninth Circle contribute their spell slots to help them cast spells.

Furthermore, the more people there were, the more stable the state would be, and even the legendary ring magic would be formed.

So Zhao Xu guessed that what Antonya needed was also a type of spell or even a ritual that involved a large number of Wizards.

“Then, teacher, shouldn’t you have made your move earlier?”

Zhao Xu could already see that the transmigrators who had gathered below them because of their appearance had already caused a commotion. Many of them turned around and looked in another direction.

On another Hill far away, a Cavalry Regiment was charging over, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Looking at the runic flags raised by the Knights, it was obvious that they were the Knights under the God of justice and punishment, Cooper, who had sent out disaster relief. They had crossed thousands of miles through a teleportation portal to come here and deliver food.

And faith.

To the main gods of Arthur, they had reached the level of immortality. Unless it was a disaster on the level of the Twilight of the Gods, they would not die because of this.

...

However, the divine power of the other gods below the main God was determined by the number of believers.

For example, if Antonya didn’t like a weak God, she could easily limit the range of the other party’s believers and use a legendary spell to wipe out all of the other party’s believers in one fell swoop. Then she could destroy the God Kingdom of this weak God who was in the outer world, and his divine body would fall and drift away in the astral world.

Therefore, the disaster on earth this time was also a ” Feast of Faith ” for the gods of Arthur.

As for who could gain more faith, it would depend on their own abilities.

this was also the reason why the gods had invested so much effort into the savage barren lands.

“mine is a little different.”

Antonya was obviously very confident. what I need are elite mages, not a bunch of believers who are a mixture of good and bad.

even if you can only find one for me a day, as long as he can firmly believe in magic and not betray it, or not be tempted by the power of a higher level, that’s enough.

“So, mentor, you entrusted this mission to me? and i’m the only one?” Zhao Xu asked.

“That’s definitely not it.” Antonya laughed and said, “there are also people who are looking for people they trust, but you’re definitely the most important one.

“It’s because you can connect seamlessly and continuously teleport across this continent. I also need your ability to last forever.”

...

“Also, the key to this mission is to keep it a secret and not attract anyone’s attention. That’s why some mages are only entrusted to do it for a period of time, or even take on a small part of the transit environment, such as picking up a person. They don’t know what the ultimate goal is from the beginning to the end.”

“And right now, there are also mages sent by Mystra in the Wildlands, who are also picking out suitable magic apprentices for the floating city. They will attract everyone’s attention on the surface.”

” you’re the only one who knows everything, and you’ll be a part of it in the coming week. ”

At this moment, Zhao Xu saw that the God of justice’s priest and Paladins were getting closer and closer, and he also realized that Antonya had to leave this place as well.

He could not help but ask, ” teacher, you spent so much effort to set up this layer of isolation. It makes me even more curious. What kind of plan are these seed mages up to? ”

“don’t regret it after you hear it.” Suddenly, Antonya started laughing very happily.

“How could that be possible?” Zhao Xu was very confident.

I once told you that July, when God was not around, was a prophecy given by may. However, we did not expect that there was a problem with the God’s kingdom.

zhongxia, the strength of the transmigrators from earth that the gods have come into contact with this time might be beyond your imagination.

“the saint’s descent is not far away.”
