The Truth of Magic

Chapter 522 Dream Ritual, Shortwave News

In fact, no matter how much the noisy audience guessed, they would never have expected that just one round of secondary acid ball would deal a full 80 points of full damage.

The fireball technique of the third ring is less than half, and half of the damage will be avoided by the immunity.

In other words, the whole process was somewhat beyond Zhao Xu's expectations.

Compared with mages like them who increase their life by [1-4+ constitution adjustment] at each level, undead creatures like vampires have no constitution adjustment, so their life is increased by 1-12 points (D12) per level.

It's just that the other party is still too good, and still can't survive the test of Zhao Xu's 80 points of damage.

With a single spell effect, the damage of the secondary strong acid ball was fully reduced to 40 points, and combined with the spell twins, it was 80 points.

Basically, most of the current players couldn't stand Zhao Xu's secondary ball with 80 points of damage.

Not to mention that there are various elements such as sound waves, fire, and cold in this ball series of spells.

Further up, Zhao Xu could also use the acid ball with four rings. At that time, its damage range was 15D6 and it had a nausea effect.

With the addition of Zhao Xu's super magic expertise, it is directly 180 points of direct damage without discount.

But the only price was that Zhao Xu had to pay 3 (extreme effect) + 4 (twins) - 1 (super magic proficiency) = 6 temporary attribute damage costs because of the ability of super magic control.

Fortunately, he now has 115 points in total for the six major attributes, even if he didn't cast the minute-level Energy Protection spell of the third ring in advance to be immune to attribute damage, it would not be a big problem.

After returning to his room, Zhao Xu asked Vivian to give him a temporary warning.

He performed the ritual to reconnect to the legendary library in the floating city, and connected to Luduo to find the dream ritual.

After tossing around until almost three o'clock, after the various searches in the hotel returned to calm, Zhao Xu also successfully obtained the information he wanted and went offline on the spot.

After his consciousness returned to the earth, Zhao Xu woke up from his familiar and soft bed.

His mind kept flashing about the content of the ritual he just saw in the Legend Library.

Zhao Xu tried to connect to the supreme artifact Lax in his heart, but there was still no response as before.

This also means that the next thing he has to do is to be self-reliant.

Since ancient times, dreaming is an effective and safe way among the methods of showing the holy.

It has the means of isolation of space and protects the Manifestation.

It also meets the most critical step - being able to span the distance in space.

No matter how stubborn a person is, he can't help having the same dream content over and over again, not to mention that there are more subconscious effects in the dream, and the level of thinking and vigilance will be lowered a lot.

In Arthur, Zhao Xu had actually mastered the spell of invading dreams - four rings walking in dreams, which was similar to the transportation spell, which could send the subject into other people's dreams.

There is even the dream puppet technique of the fifth ring, which controls the body while others are in a dream, just like the monster control technique.

It's just that the earth and Arthur are in different universes, so Zhao Xu couldn't pass through the material energy channel when he cast the Four Rings spell on Arthur.

If the other party happened to be sleeping in Arthur, not to mention the spiritual protection of the gods, even if he could succeed, Zheng Xinyun would only think of the stranger in the dream as some kind of game content.

It might be funny, but it won't be serious.

So he needs to use the Dream Invasion method on Earth.

Zhao Xu naturally couldn't use spells, but apart from spells, Arthur also had another method - ritual.

This was also the means that Zhao Xu found from that library.

After he figured it out, he tiptoed quietly to the storage room next to the living room, and with a flashlight on, he searched for the target item he needed.

Candles, cardboard, red oil-based pens, aromatherapy essential oils, mirrors...

Rituals are similar to spells in nature, except that they can be cast by non-spellcaster characters.

Casting a ritual is like cooking a dish.

Zhao Xu first found the recipe (the content of the ceremony), then prepared the materials (materials for the ceremony), and then through processing (arrangement of the ceremony), combined with the method of cooking (spell gestures), he was able to cast it.

After preparing the materials for the ceremony, Zhao Xu returned to his room and locked it up, but the location he chose was on the balcony.

At this time, more than an hour later, when the dawn comes, the moonlight will be covered.

Only now, when the moonlight is as cool as running water, pouring over Zhao Xu's balcony and reflecting his face, is the best time.

After Zhao Xu took a deep breath, he began to place the jammed paper and quietly arranged it on the balcony.

The reason why rituals cannot replace spells is that they are complicated to perform and extremely specific requirements.

Just like the ritual that can teleport to Joseph Garden, the place of resurrection-the journey of Hrothgar, it needs to build a thatched hut in the dense forest, and it is only valid during the winter solstice.

For example, Zhao Xu's current dream ritual can only be performed when the moon is close to the Lantern Festival, so if he delays it for a few more days, he will not be able to meet the conditions for performing it.

Zhao Xu, who was very energetic, relied on his strong intelligence to clearly remember the whole process of the ritual, which was also the prerequisite for him to have the confidence to perform the dream ritual.

The process of setting up and performing is very complicated, and even if he makes a mistake, the ceremony will fail.

This may have unpredictable consequences.

The level of mystical knowledge is the key factor in determining the ceremony. Fortunately, because Zhao Xu leveled up too fast, while other players were busy fighting monsters, he devoted himself to studying mystical knowledge and religious knowledge, and worked hard to improve both level.

More importantly, Antinoya had visited here before and left a shelter for the house.

At the same time, the goal of his ceremony is still Zheng Xinyun, he knows every detail of the other party, and now there is an additional layer of indirect believer status.

After the whole ceremony, Zhao Xu felt that he had exceeded the ninety percent success rate.

In the end, after the last version of the circle was drawn, Zhao Xu maintained a mysterious breathing rate as required by the ceremony.

At the same time he lit the centermost candle.

With fewer and fewer power outages in cities, candles are slowly disappearing from people's eyes.

At this moment, the candle flame was floating above the candle body, and as Zhao Xu chanted a mantra in a low voice, and at the same time his hands began to perform repeated hand gestures, the candle flame also accelerated and jumped, as if disturbed by the wind.

He chanted like this for nearly ten minutes, and there was nothing extraordinary in the whole process.

Only Zhao Xu knew what stage he had reached.

In an instant, he wiped a handful of peppermint ointment on his forehead, and drew according to the psychic mantra, like a pen and a snake.

The cold feeling permeated his skin little by little, until it disappeared half a moment later, Zhao Xu grabbed a handful of valuable sandalwood purchased by his father and lit it, then shook it gently to shake off the ash.

At the same time, he placed his own gold pendant that was flattened into thin sheets with iron tongs on the candlelight, and the appearance of Snoopy on it was already out of shape.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's mind felt like blood was rushing, and he felt a mysterious force emerging from his body.

In an instant, the gold flake that would only be blackened by the candle flame melted miraculously.

The gold, which could not be melted at all without the high temperature of thousands of degrees, melted little by little in front of Zhao Xu, and then disappeared.

Burning money is also one of the characteristics of the ceremony.

It's just that at this point, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and continued to silently recite the mysterious mantra that he had just kept on.

In an instant, the candle that could have been burning for more than half an hour burned out in such an instant.

Zhao Xu also slowly fell behind him.

Fell into sleep.

Strange, what signal is this?

In the middle of the night, a man who couldn't sleep was tuning his short-wave radio when he suddenly heard a beeping sound on a usually silent frequency band.

It's just that he had just seen the band of a few kilohertz above, and when he was about to record it and listen carefully, the sound disappeared mysteriously.

This should be an international band, but the power is so strong, there is no noise at all, and even I can receive it here.

The man was thinking silently in his heart, but after listening for a while without realizing it, he put down the earphones again.

At this time, there was a vague, inaudible voice coming from the radio, as if calling someone's name.
