The Truth of Magic

94 level 2

hehe, it’s rare to meet someone who’s both a mage and a priest. How can I not be concerned? ” said wizard clayon, his posture still as elegant as a noble.

Zhao Xu wasn’t surprised. When he cast the divine spell, Holy domain, he didn’t plan on hiding it from this mysterious person in front of him.

Clayon raised his head and looked at the pitch-black ceiling of the tunnel. His exposed neck was completely covered in black scales, like a piece of burnt stone after the lava cooled down.

I once wanted to multi-profession as a level 1 cleric so that I could successfully advance to ‘Guardian of runes’. wizard ryan suddenly lowered his head and looked at zhao xu with a ferocious expression.

“Why didn’t the goddess give me this chance? Where is my faith not sincere enough? how did you become the goddess’s priest so easily?”

zhao xu was planning on using his trump card, but he wasn’t nervous at all, even though wizard ryan looked like he was half a demon.

“you’re asking me, but who should i ask?” Zhao Xu said nonchalantly. He could vaguely sense that wizard Ryan’s mental state was a little off.

A calm mage was far more terrifying than a crazy mage.

” hehe, it seems like no one has explained to you the power of the advanced ‘rune guardian’. ” Wizard Ryan suddenly lowered his head in frustration. He stuck his hands into his hair and clenched them tightly.

Under the attack of the power of purgatory, his originally thin and weak hands bulged with black scales.

why are ignorant people like you candidates for The Guardian of runes for no reason, while I, who kneeled before the statue day and night and begged pitifully, can’t even enter the door? ”

wizard ryan suddenly raised his head and let out an angry roar.

zhao xu almost used up all his energy, but even after he finished roaring, his identify skill still didn’t move at all.

was this the reason why he needed to be promoted to a level 1 cleric?

Zhao Xu thought to himself, but he also wanted to complain about whether or not they should fight.

suddenly, wizard ryan’s attention fell on the staff in zhao xu’s hand.

“it’s actually a protective magic staff. how can a level 2 or 3 noob bring such a valuable item out? which school of mages or church would be so rich?”

when he heard this, zhao xu was certain that there was something wrong with this wizard’s brain.

he didn’t know if it was because of the abyssal power’s invasion or if he had gone crazy after staying here for too long.

With wizard Leo’s strength, there was no need to act with him, but he had waited until this moment to pay attention to his staff.

even the proud mages shouldn’t do that.

According to the mages ‘above average intelligence, if they couldn’t see these things in an instant and then react, they would really be fed to the dogs.

this was also where wizard arthur was difficult to deal with. in battle, not only did he suppress wizard arthur with spells, but he also suppressed his intelligence.

“You brought this group of newbies here to risk their lives with this staff?” Clayon nodded and sized him up.

“you dared to come in when you saw the altar outside. you must be relying on the staff’s ‘expel’ spell. even if there really is a demon inside, you can still fight it out with this spell. it’s a pity you met me, yingluo.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu laughed bitterly. The spell of expel was effective against creatures from another world like demons, but the half-purgatory creature in front of him was considered a local creature from another world, so it wasn’t within the spell’s range of effect.

but zhao xu’s confidence wasn’t in his magic staff anymore. he just couldn’t quite figure out what the wizard in front of him was thinking.

was he going to use words to strike at his confidence first? There was no need for that. Their levels had already been suppressed to this extent.

and zhao xu was the weaker one, so they had to figure out what the other party was thinking before they could act.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had made up his mind to go back and study hard. He really wouldn’t go out to the outside world until he reached level 9, so that he wouldn’t have to waste his energy on high-level Wizards like these.

“the staff also has the ‘protective barrier against living things’ spell. it can ensure that other than the undead, no other creatures can touch you, and naturally, they can’t attack you. i’m a mage, and i can cast spells above the fourth-level, so i can kill you without entering the protective barrier. this is the mockery of fate. could it be the goddess’s arrangement for me to kill one of her priests to vent the anger in my heart?” The mage Clayon was suddenly intoxicated by himself.

“then you can try.” Zhao Xu said.

Later on, he would have to see if wizard Ryan had reached level 17.

antonya’s benefits were too strong, so strong that he didn’t dare to use them casually. otherwise, if it was just an item like a magic staff, he would have thrown it at her face a long time ago.

He was not confident that he could successfully use the candle in front of the high Mage.

“Although I really want to kill you.” Suddenly, Clayon said in a low voice, ” but I can let you go.

“conditions?” zhao xu asked directly.

From this encounter, he knew that the mage must have some secret behind him, but he couldn’t see through it without any clues. Basically, all the knowledge checks he had just performed had failed.

“There are a total of seven people on the ground here. You only need to kill three of them. i can let you and the other four go, and at the same time give you a precious magic item.” Clayon chuckled, his voice hoarse.

zhao xu laughed coldly. this was a good idea.

of the seven players on the ground, four were players and three were arthur’s natives.

If he killed the players, the players would revive anyway, and he could even get magical items. Perhaps he could directly activate a hidden Mission Branch, which was a good deal. This was what some of the players thought.

“You guys should be Earth’s adventurers, right? I’ve been locked up here for too long, and I don’t even know what’s happening outside.” Clayon continued, ” this is interesting. It turns out that you have five chances to be resurrected as projections. This makes it even less of a problem.

“It’s a rule that anyone who enters this place must die. I can’t break it. You don’t have to worry about the anger of the three people who died. I can give you some more treasures, so that you can share them with them, and it will calm down.”

Zhao Xu looked at wizard Leo in front of him and started to feel very confused.

The other party had said too much, so much that even he himself had caught a trace of clues.

At this moment, Zhao Xu turned his attention to the way Ryan was dressed. The fact that he had been locked up for a long time reminded him that maybe wizard Ryan wasn’t as free as he thought he would be.

but where was the loophole?

to be able to take down a limited high-level wizard in a battle of wits, he would be guaranteed to be level 9 when he returned, right?

it was a pity that wizard ryan’s robe was not of the same style as his. it was also not like the robes of the high-level wizards he had seen in floating city. it was only slightly similar. otherwise, based on his words of pleading with the goddess, he almost thought that the other party had the same origin as him.

forget it, he’d just casually throw out a spell to test the waters. if he really knocked down the other party, then he’d really be able to pick it up.

zhao xu immediately started casting a spell, but a message suddenly popped up on his information panel.
