The Truth of Magic

141 chapter 140/stacking skills

zhao xu had heard from shadow and dew that the three of them might be illusions, so when he saw them, his attention was on full alert.

The three Wizards ‘hair was basically disheveled, and their robes were in a worse state than Zhao Xu’s and the others’. They had already been torn apart by the thorns.

zhao xu immediately raised his hand and was ready to cast a spell on these strange creatures.

but when the three mages who were running for their lives saw zhao xu and the others, their eyes went wide as if they had just seen something unbelievable.

the three of them, who had been moving with all their might, knelt on the ground as if their legs had gone soft, raising a cloud of dust.

nüwa nüwa! the three of them shouted at the same time, but it was so soft that Zhao Xu couldn’t hear them clearly. It was as if they were just crying out with their dry throats.

Immediately after, the three of them hurriedly turned around and ran back to the depths of the forest.

it was as if there was a demon hiding in the middle of the three of them.

a creepy sense of suspicion swept through the three of them.

“This scene looks like a scene where a few friends tell the girl that her boyfriend was killed after an avalanche. Then, the girl’s boyfriend suddenly appeared and told her that he was the only one who survived and that everyone else was killed. In the end, the girl chose to believe his horrible story.”

Shadow sneered at the poor performance of the three people just now.

at this moment, lu also smiled gently. ” i believe that wind and shadow are real living people. ”

zhao xu just looked off into the distance.

this kind of suspicion was, without a doubt, reyan’s usual routine.

he didn’t need to believe it. he just needed to insert a needle.

“Then let’s first decipher the stone tablet.” Said Zhao Xu. He felt that some things should be resolved as soon as possible.

The three of them squatted in front of the stone tablet, studying the mysterious symbols that were difficult to recognize.

In general, when such a situation occurred on earth, they would directly throw the content that they didn’t know x degree.

as for zhao xu and the other arthur wizards, they had to connect to the knowledge source to do the verification.

It was just that the process of connecting this time itself had an element of gambling on probability, so the three of them did not rashly interpret it.

“Is it a language?” Zhao Xu guessed.

there were only a few dozen common languages in arthur.

however, there were many languages spoken in some less popular and remote places, even from other multiverse worlds.

It was just like how there were hundreds of languages on earth, just that there weren’t many variations.

“it’s definitely not the dozens of mainstream ones.” after observing the inscription, ying’s tone was certain.

“I have a level-one spell scroll for language proficiency. You can use it.” lu added, “but i don’t think it’s a language.”

zhao xu knew language proficiency as well, and it allowed him to understand and understand languages that he didn’t know before. it was equivalent to using a level 1 spell to achieve the effect of a universal translator.

As for being able to speak it out, it would require the level 2 spell, vocabulary.

” then, shall we do a mysticism knowledge check first? ” zhao xu looked at the symbols on the stone steles. he seemed to have some impression of them, but he couldn’t remember anything no matter how hard he tried. in the end, he could only give this suggestion.

” our current level of mysticism knowledge and skills is not enough. ” Ying continued to emphasize.

Although her knowledge (mys) level was about the same as the other two, she had the most solid foundation.

a genius with a photographic memory would never be at a disadvantage no matter where he went.

“It’s true that it’s only one person, but we have three people. We can report our own data and then provide our backup means. This way, we can concentrate on one person and perhaps change our fate.” Lu said happily.

when zhao xu heard this, he thought that it was indeed not bad.

now that the players heard about backup methods, they would definitely be scratching their heads. what backup?

However, the three of them were different.

knowledge (mysterious) Level 5,+6 INT. Shadow was the first to say.

Zhao Xu looked at shadow closely and sized him up. He looked at his body and felt that it was a little too much for a human to have such attributes.

the +6 intelligence adjustment meant that shadow’s intelligence was now 22. even if shadow had allocated her talent points to 18 intelligence, it meant that she was still 4 points higher than other players.

A headband of intellect with +4 intelligence? that was a little too extravagant, not to mention that this thing was in a strictly controlled state.

He was sure that shadow was at most a piece of equipment with +2 intelligence.

As for the initial race, the elves only increased agility and reduced vitality.

Then where did the remaining 2 intelligence points come from?

zhao xu looked at ying’s body as he thought about this.

it was only when he recalled the color of shadow’s eyes that he suddenly realized.

In this world, he was not the only one with a test number.

it seemed that he had encountered a test player of a special race. from the shape and performance of the other party, it was probably one of those powerful hidden human subspecies.

Zhao Xu could only sigh. When he combined that day’s genius with the test code, he felt that even someone like him who had been reborn was a little weak.

” knowledge (mysterious) level 5,+5 int. ” Lu continued.

zhao xu felt that this condition was quite reasonable.

but zhao xu still found it a little strange. he was only able to level up his knowledge skills so quickly because of his knowledge domain. even so, he was still stuck at level 4 because he had just returned from the adventure.

He really didn’t know how the two female mages managed to train up their mystical knowledge to the maximum level.

just zhao xu’s knowledge level alone was enough to crush most players.

according to the forum’s statistics, among the mage players who had officially graduated, at least two-thirds of them had not even reached level 1 in their mystical knowledge skills. this was because not everyone had the perseverance to continue studying in the game.

it was rare for one’s knowledge (mystical) to reach level 2.

as for the other less popular skills and knowledge, even fewer people chose them.

knowledge (mystical) Level 4,+3 INT modifier. Zhao Xu saw that the two girls were waiting for him, so he had no choice but to tell them.

he just suddenly felt that he was a little too weak as a level 2 mage.

But the results of this data were also very obvious. After shadow stacking, knowledge (mystery) would have A +10 bonus, while Zhao Xu would have A +7 bonus at the minimum.

“then shall we start?” The shadow detective asked.

“Wait, there’s a surprise.” at this time, lu took out her magic item, which was a gunny sack, but in fact a dimensional bag. she took out a small book made of silver and handed it to the two.

this is the ‘world memory volume’. If you read it for a minute, you can obtain A +5 performance in the next knowledge check. Lu said.

zhao xu looked at the little silver booklet in his hand and was left speechless. he felt that it wasn’t worth it for the wizards who had been studying so hard.

this is the three-time daily increase in knowledge, skill, and performance? ”

ying, who was a collector, took it and looked at the cover page of the small book in surprise.

for ying, having these books with various magical abilities was simply the happiest thing in the world.

” if that’s the case, then my mystical knowledge skill will reach 15 points. ”

at this moment, ying also began to look at the stone tablet with confidence.

“Wait a moment.” at this moment, zhao xu also said, ” put down your headband for me first. ”

when shadow heard zhao xu’s request, she raised her eyebrows at him, but she didn’t stop. she reached into her hood and took off her headband of intellect and handed it to zhao xu.

This also caused Ying’s hair, which had been tied up, to fall down.

after zhao xu took it, he immediately pulled out a black string from his backpack.

When he first learned all the level 1 spells, Antonya would throw him a bag of spell materials, and then Zhao Xu would put all of them into the side pocket of the bag so that he could take them out and use them whenever he wanted, and he would replenish them regularly.

after he took out the ingredients, zhao xu tied the string together with the headscarf and then took the headscarf and started to move it according to the spell casting posture.

this spell was one of the few spells that did not require an incantation.

About six seconds later, the spell slots in Zhao Xu’s mind were directly converted into energy and poured into the headband through the black string.

“take it. if you take it with you for a test, you can obtain an additional +3 environment bonus.” Zhao Xu said.

At this moment, both Lu and Ying were a little dazed by his actions.

“How come I’ve never heard of such a spell?” ying asked in surprise.

“There are many things you don’t know.” zhao xu said with a smile.

According to the records, this spell actually came from another multiverse. It was spread to Arthur by the first archivist who came, and it had been kept a secret since.

As a result, not many mages knew how to cast this spell.

“As expected, those who are silent are mostly hiding their true strength.” Shadow also started to look at Zhao Xu in admiration.

Feng, “Lu also praised,” you’ve been able to copy and master so many spells in such a short time. It’s really rare.

talent wasn’t usually scary, but those who could spend a lot of effort to copy a huge amount of spells with ordinary talent were also known as hard-working geniuses.

Zhao Xu heard the two female Wizards complimenting him without even knowing what was going on, so he didn’t want to expose himself.

Most ordinary mages would spend 24 hours to learn a spell. Those who had enlightened spellcaster or knowledge skills or high Spellcraft skills could compress it a little, but it would still take at least six to twelve hours.

zhao xu was the only one who was standing in the mysterious space in the final scroll, which was beyond the range of a godly item, and he was learning one spell per minute.

even so, it still took him more than five hours to learn the 300 spells.

therefore, when shadow whispered the spell called ‘resuscitation’ to lu at the beginning, it was more like a last resort to give her a direction.

at this time, shadow also began to patiently flip through the ‘world memory scroll’.

However, after a few seconds, shadow closed the book and handed it back to the female wizard.

“didn’t you say it would take a minute?” Zhao Xu asked.

“no need. if the knowledge skill is level 5, it will only take a few seconds.”

Ying said simply. Her eyes were completely focused on the stone tablet.

Shadow’s right hand followed the scratches on the stone tablet and began to feel the age rings on it. He then used them as a lever to start prying the power of the origin of knowledge.

after hearing shadow’s explanation, zhao xu’s evaluation of the little book increased quite a bit. if it could be used in a short amount of time, then it would have some strategic value.

it was barely comparable to his song of knowledge.

however, after a while, shadow revealed a puzzled expression. she said with a trace of annoyance, ” “I failed. I was so close. I should have had a chance.”

“lu, then i can only let you try.” Ying said as she handed over the headscarf that Zhao Xu had just given her.

“There’s no chance,” Lu shook her head and smiled bitterly,”that was the third chance for this book. it will only recover tomorrow.”

the atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

“Then I’ll do it.” zhao xu grinned.

Anything was possible for a wizard with spell slots.
