The Truth of Magic

131 level one file

zhao xu noticed that his character stats had started to change.

[ character Level: Level 2 (double elite)

[ class line 1: Level 2 wizard ]

[ Class 2: Level 1 cleric/Level 1 archivist ]

at the same time, the archivist’s dark knowledge (tactics) ability quietly appeared on his character summon card.

this feeling of suddenly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel made zhao xu feel a little surreal.

now that he thought about it, the goddess of magic did not seem to have the class level of an archivist.

The archivist, in particular, seemed to be poaching the gods and even all divine spell casters.

If it weren’t for the fact that the archivist had also contributed to the research of divine spells, they would have been as notorious as blasphemy priests, who specialized in stealing divine power and divine spells.

That thing that was called the ” ancient stone slab ” also disappeared into thin air after Zhao Xu finished looking at it. It was as if it didn’t exist in this world.

Zhao Xu didn’t say much. He just quietly watched Antonya turn the tables around.

” it seems that you’ve already become an archivist. that’s a little beyond my expectations. ” antonya looked at zhao xu. she already knew what had happened to him.

zhao xu had been working on this ability for the past few days.

Every day, he spent nearly 20 hours online in the library, studying the knowledge and skills. His status was almost at full.

Even in his limited time offline, his mind was constantly thinking about all kinds of background knowledge about archivist, constantly deliberating over every clue.

He even went to the floating city’s people’s biography library to read the life experiences of some spell casters who were suspected to be archivers.

zhao xu knew that an archivist wouldn’t let him pass so easily like a wizard or a cleric.

He was also prepared to fight a long battle.

So when he heard Antonya’s question about him being faster than he had expected, Zhao Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

he was basically prepared to repeat a year. when he was about to pay his tuition fees, his parents suddenly told him that the admission notice had arrived.

It was so ingenious that it seemed to have been arranged.

Antonya saw that Zhao Xu was still deep in thought, so she didn’t try to comfort him or congratulate him. Instead, she continued to say in a light voice, ” ” you know, archivist is not a native profession in this world. ”

“from another world?” zhao xu’s voice was a little higher, but he was still feeling a little emotional.

he would be lying if he said he wasn’t excited.

Even at this moment, he could not pretend to say that he did not expect to be an archivist.

” is it an alternate plane like the bottomless abyss or twin heavens? ” zhao xu had upgraded his knowledge (dimension) skill before, so he was trying to guess what antonya was trying to say.

“no, what you’re talking about is actually one with the world of arthur. the other world i’m referring to is the other multiverse. you can even think of your earth as a multi-world.”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he understood what was going on.

Arthur and all the planes connected to Arthur, which was the plane he saw on the giant ship, belonged to the same world.

He was in Arthur’s main material plane, so he could use teleportation to reach other places in Arthur.

However, if he wanted to go to other planes, such as the bottomless abyss, where the Demogorgon lived, he had to use the spell ‘Otherworld teleportation.’

The principles of these two teleportations were different.

only a few teleportation spells, such as the level nine ‘gate between worlds’, could decide whether the gate would open in the mainland or in the other world.

But out of all the spells that Zhao Xu knew, there were no spells that could allow him to travel to other worlds.

otherwise, the mages of arthur would have been teleported to earth right now.

They would only become real after 11 months.

Now, their projections couldn’t reproduce, nor did they need to eat, drink, or use the toilet.

if there was a way to communicate between the two worlds, it was self-evident what that meant.

so when zhao xu heard that the dossiers came from another world, he was extremely shocked.

that’s why we say we don’t know who the first archivist was, because he wasn’t originally from the world of Arthur, but a visitor from another world like you.

Antonya started explaining to Zhao Xu.

after hearing this secret, the row of skills and knowledge on zhao xu’s character stats started to shake.

he knew that he had come into contact with the most secretive information in arthur.

” the world he’s in is a dark and terrifying inexplicable world full of corruption and blood. ”

“there were mages in that world too, but there were no priests. in their place were archivers. after the archivist arrived in the world of arthur, out of his love for the peace of arthur, he taught us this basic profession.”

” after that, there was another wizard who visited arthur. according to our understanding, the other party’s advanced corruptor was also quite strong. ”

antonya roughly summarized what had happened in the past.

but zhao xu was a little confused.’mentor, isn’t your description a little too simple? What was the name of that world? and any more details?”

“i don’t think you should know about it now, so i don’t want you to be curious.” antonya chuckled.

Zhao Xu thought to himself, Antonya’s description of the Virgen was pretty strong, so he would definitely be curious.

If he wasn’t curious, shouldn’t she not mention it?

but after hearing this, zhao xu could understand why an archivist could be this strong.

since they were not from the same place, they would not be punished by arthur’s origin.

As for why everyone could use the same spell system, it wasn’t difficult to understand. It was just like on another planet on earth, as long as there was civilization, mathematics, physics, and chemistry would also be developed similar to earth.

This was because the entire universal constant was the same.

At most, Arthur was of the same origin as that terrifying world, but not the multiverse that earth was in.

“but teacher, what does this have to do with my recent advancement?” Zhao Xu continued to ask.

“Oh, you just saw a stone slab, right?”

hmm, it’s called an ancient stone slab? ” zhao xu nodded.

“That’s right, that’s actually called the ‘ancient cursed slate’, and it records the weaknesses of various monsters. Only those who have seen this stone tablet can awaken the dark knowledge of scroll scholars.”

” according to what that archivist said, all the archivers in the other world had to go through a lot of hard work to enter the legendary palace of dark knowledge. only by seeing this stone slab can they advance. i think less than one in ten of them are still alive. ”

when he heard that the chances of survival were less than 10%, zhao xu suddenly felt that the environment in arthur where he could learn his class skills was actually quite comfortable.

As for Zhao Xu’s condition, it was a comfortable and high-end version.

“Then what was that stone slab just now?” Zhao Xu continued to ask.

since countless arcanists from the other world had to risk their lives to see the slates, they couldn’t possibly let the other party bring them to arthur so easily, right?

“a historical projection.” Antonya said to Zhao Xu.

After Zhao Xu heard this, the ability of a doll that belonged to the main character of a famous Cthulhu-style novel from earth flashed through his mind.

“The archivist from another world used a legendary spell to summon the projection of the ancient cursed slate. After we saw it, we used this ability to pass down our knowledge in the future.”

Antonya explained.

” master, if a historical projection can be summoned, why would the archivist of the other world still have to go to the palace of dark knowledge? ”

zhao xu immediately caught on to the key point.

” it’s very simple. things that exist can’t summon historical projections, or there will be problems with the timeline. the ancient curse slate does not exist in the world of arthur, so it can be summoned.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu finally made sense of the whole situation. It didn’t sound like there was anything strange about it.

as for why I let you study hard for a few days, it’s because I want you to fall into despair.

“it’s easy to obtain dark knowledge. you’ll automatically obtain it after looking at the slate. However, those who have not struggled in despair can not awaken to become archivist.”

“Originally, I thought that when you saw that stone slab, you would be touched by your experiences these past few days. You should be able to awaken it after repeating it two or three times. However, you awakened in an instant, which was more or less beyond my expectations.”

“You’ve been in despair at such a young age?” antonya asked softly.

Zhao Xu laughed and shook his head.

He had not expected that his past life’s experiences were actually a push for him to become an archivist.

It was reasonable to think this way. How could a basic class in a horror world be awakened so easily?

He just didn’t know how terrifying a Virgen would be when he advanced.

teacher, do we have a way to go to other universes? ” zhao xu asked with a hint of hope.

If possible, there might be a new turning point before the earth was destroyed.

“There must be. Otherwise, the archivist wouldn’t have been able to reach Arthur. So, you can achieve it with a few years of hard work. Take your time and work hard.”

After Antonya finished explaining everything to Zhao Xu, she stood up and turned around to sort out the bookshelf behind her.

“A legendary spell?” zhao xu asked.

Legendary spells, as an existence above level nine spells, could only be used by legendary Wizards.

“yes.”

antonya snorted lightly in response.

Zhao Xu also nodded, but as he nodded, he started to get a little suspicious.

“Teacher, aren’t legendary spells for legendary Wizards? How could an archivist have a legendary spell?”

Zhao Xu realized that he had been a little stupid. He actually didn’t notice the loophole in Antonya’s words at the beginning.

“Who told you that only Wizards can cast legendary spells? as long as a divine spell caster’s knowledge (religion) skill has reached a certain level, they are also qualified to cast legendary spells.”

“but i’ve never heard of any priest letting it go?” Zhao Xu asked.

“Because the gods didn’t give it to me.” Antonya’s words had a deeper meaning to them.

zhao xu just stood there silently.

indeed, the gods did not give priests legendary spells.

There were also very few priests who could reach the legendary level.

however, an archivist had to copy spells by themselves, so there was no such restriction.

zhao xu had already asked antonya in a roundabout way. the number of legendary spells a wizard could cast was a whole number after their knowledge (mystery) level was divided by ten.

That was why when his character reached level 21, the wizard class would give him two legendary spell slots.

in the same way, the archivist class would also give him two legendary spell slots.

His legendary spell slots were equivalent to twice the number of other Wizards of the same level.

the only problem was that he had no legend at the moment.
