The Truth of Magic

Chapter 538 Promise Again, The Choice of Fate

Hearing the other party's description, Zhao Xu actually recalled how he was restrained during the Battle of Falling Star Lake.

Most of Arthur's spells, especially damage spells, have a radius of six meters, or tens of meters.

Kilometer-level spells like Winter of Fenbulle are rare after all, let alone without the slightest element of damage.

When encountering high-intensity spell bombing on the battlefield, any commander whose IQ is online knows how to draw the team to a certain depth.

It is already a basic operation to disperse the density of eggs and avoid smashing them all at once.

Just as the earth has entered the age of iron torrents, the collective charge of cavalry has become the last song of worship.

In the face of those cannon fire bombardments similar to spell bombing, the soldiers also dispersed and moved forward, digging trenches and bunkers to crouch to avoid them.

At the same time, even for long-distance spells such as fireball, the casting distance is only 120 meters, plus 40 meters per level.

Ordinary mages couldn't do Zhao Xu's stacking of more than 20 levels to achieve a thousand-meter deep strike.

Most legion mages and warlocks are only a few hundred meters away.

Therefore, in Arthur's fantasy world, in large-scale battles, unless magic output units such as mages and warlocks can be used as a stable output unit on the spot, they are all used as sharp knife troops.

That is special forces.

Beheading tactics, intelligence warfare, fixed-point blasting warfare, etc., they are the last bayonet to the enemy.

So at this moment, when the old man Matthews mentioned that Arthur still has a massive destruction war spell.

How could Zhao Xu not be surprised.

In the Battle of Falling Star Lake back then, he also relied on the miracle technique of throwing nine rings in exchange for the goddess Sisylvina's divine grace, and wantonly distributed group spells.

The power here can be said to have completely surpassed the level of ordinary nine-ring spells, similar to the one that directly saved the entire town hit by the plague from suffering.

Now, unexpectedly, there is still a chance in disguise?

For Zhao Xu, who already had too many means of snowballing, isn't it equivalent to giving it away for nothing?

However, under the impact of this temptation, Zhao Xu remained awake in his mind and slowly regained his composure.

There is no free lunch in the world, free is the most expensive.

Do you have any requirements for me? Zhao Xu asked.

Although the old man in front of him, Matthews, looked very concerned about Antinoya, and even became the owner of the fake library for a time, he was definitely the core member of Ernest's small team back then.

But in the world, there are only two of his parents.

Goodness without reason does not exist among strangers.

Relax. The old man Matthews smiled, even though the wrinkles on his face had piled up, he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Not caring is the biggest barrier of protection.

The moment he opened his mouth, it meant that Zhao Xu had entered the game.

All I need is a promise from you, said the old man Matthews.

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help coughing, as if he had said something wrong and was getting revenge.

again?

At this moment, Zhao Xu, who was almost numb all over, even had an idea in his mind.

Really, when he masters Transfer from Another World and can reach the outer interface, can he sell his promise in the Sigil City controlled by Lady Pain that connects all planes there? ?

How much does a promise cost?

If Matthews had been the first to come to him asking for this commitment, he might have already given it.

But from the past to the present, he is really a little sensitive to things like commitment.

Especially after Zhao Xu knew that Arthur still had the power of real name and oath.

He just made a seemingly conservative and harmless promise of unswerving magic until death, which can bring him the advantage of ignoring the fact that dual elite professions cannot work concurrently.

This is already a power that breaks the rules, and if he goes deeper, he doesn't dare to think about that.

However, the weight of the war spell made it impossible for Zhao Xu to refuse directly.

Since ancient times, those who can create a dynasty are not only rich in financial resources. There are still a few lucky people who have successfully obtained monstrous treasures in history.

But among these people, the old man in front of him, Matthews, successfully established a dynasty with power across the continent.

The Eastern Turk Empire, which is quite a legacy now, is not up to this scale.

According to Matthews, war spells made a lot of contributions in the process of establishing the dynasty.

Don't worry. The old man Matthews saw Zhao Xu's actions and struggles.

He seemed to be a sharp-tongued persuader, The premise of war spells is the specialty of 'study war spells'. At the beginning, the master saw that I had the urge and desire to open up territories, so he taught me this specialty.

Zhao Xu couldn't help raising his brows. This simply meant that Ernest had seen his ambition, so he didn't guard against his scruples. That emperor was big enough.

So this is a specialty that even Miss doesn't know about, because with her legendary spells, she can realize the power of most war spells, even more powerful.

After listening, Zhao Xu also nodded.

Indeed, he still has the spell of Dragon Clan Attack alone.

Throw it out at any time, that is, no less than ten giant dragons will come to Falling Star Town, and if you really encounter a legion, they will be able to overwhelm many teams with the power of the dragon.

However, it is difficult for a legendary mage to establish a kingdom.

Even the legendary mage Ying Ergou they encountered in the snow built the Eastern Land Empire by relying on the Nine Swords system.

Now Zhao Xu's perspective was no longer limited to his own growth.

His foothold is how the entire force will become stronger.

War spells based on expertise means that this is a skill that can be diffused, so he can rely on the scale of war spells to offset the shortage of mages.

The prerequisite for learning 'Training War Spells' is Iron Will Specialty and level 3 caster level. After you have a deep understanding of the true meaning of war spells, you will be able to master and learn these war spells.

The old man Matthews said in a seductive tone.

Obviously, he also knew that Zhao Xu was about to face the situation where all mankind would travel through.

Behind Zhao Xu at that time were Arthur players, who accounted for a very small proportion compared to the population of six or seven billion.

He faced the same dilemma as Matthews back then. He had too few talents to maintain the stability of the entire territory.

To put it bluntly, the army is weak.

War spells, as long as you acquire the feat I just mentioned, you will see all the only remaining war spells when you enter the 'Final Scroll'.

They are also in the form of spells, such as Sihuan's cleric magic army rations, which allows you to create food and water for 100 people per level.

With just one sentence, Matthews plunged into Zhao Xu's heart.

The rations of six billion more people cannot be solved by just joking about purchasing or magic.

Just by looking at the grain trading market on Earth, one can see the turmoil and treacherous changes in it.

Because if you buy more, the price will increase.

Therefore, Arthur's spellcasters wanted to solve the food problem. Experts like druids who were good at plant magic also started from the planting process, relying on good weather, enhanced land fertility, and improved seeds to achieve a bumper harvest.

Instead of simply changing food.

Zhao Xu thought clearly in an instant. Relying on this military ration technique, according to his current level, he could even produce food for 3000 people during the 10-minute period when the magic rosary was in effect.

Compared with the grain making technique of the third ring, which is only food for 3 people per level, it is completely different.

Although Zhao Xu would have unlimited spell slots starting at level 9, he couldn't resist casting food making spells 24 hours a day.

Damn, if you think about it this way, the war spell is really strong.

Three thousand people basically wiped out all the acquaintances their family knew.

Reminiscent of the food he found with great difficulty, his parents were reluctant to eat it by themselves, and secretly distributed it to relatives and children, and worried that he knew the scene of putting pressure on him, Zhao Xu felt a little distressed.

Even a second-ring 'army mount' can summon 25 light horses per level. Another example is the second-ring 'Force Field Missile Storm', which can give 25 targets per level within the range a magic missile.

The old man Matthews continued to confuse Zhao Xudao, directly pointing out two extremely powerful second-ring spells.

A second-level spell, 800 horses, and magic missiles hit 800 targets at the same time.

The value that was not exaggerated at first, with the blessing of Zhao Xu's caster level over level 20, rolled out a terrifying astronomical figure.

It was to form a cavalry regiment at random and smash the missiles on the spot.

Zhao Xu has now seen that war spells are an advanced version of ordinary spells, which have become a war mode.

The third ring’s food making technique corresponds to the fourth ring’s creation of rations, the first ring’s summoning mount corresponds to the second ring’s army mount, and the first ring’s magic missile corresponds to the second ring’s force field missile storm.

Doesn't that mean that there is still a lot of room for war magic itself?

What are the specific promises?

Finally, Zhao Xu couldn't suppress his curiosity.

In reality, war spells can only improve his personal combat power to a limited extent, but for the entire earth force, it is quite incomprehensible.

At this time, even if he resists the promise, he still has to ask for the price.

Realizing that Zhao Xu had taken the bait, Matthews finally showed a sly smile, as if he was satisfied with the situation in front of him.

He smiled and said, Mr. Zhong Xia, don't worry.

Here I also have to explain to you the flaws of war spells. Compared with fireball, which has a range of 100 square meters, most war spells have a range of 1,000 to 3,000 square meters, which is ten to thirty larger. times. Naturally, they also cost a lot.”

The first point is that the simplest war spell requires at least 1 minute of casting time. At the same time, during this time when the spell gathers energy, it is as easy to be interrupted as other spells that require concentration. The only good thing is that the spell itself They are all cast at a long distance, and as long as they are well hidden, they will not be easily disturbed.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly at this.

He has special skills, such as multi-talented spellcaster, which can change the casting time of spells, so it's not a problem.

The second point is that before you cast a war spell, you must observe the target area for at least 1 minute in the past 24 hours to familiarize yourself with the situation in the area.

The third point is that casting spells requires expensive materials. For a combination such as creating rations, you need 500 gold coins, silver, gold or platinum pieces engraved with the holy emblem.

Zhao Xu didn't have a headache about this question.

As long as his supernatural spells can cover war spells in the future, naturally, these costs, that is, magic tricks, will not exist at all. You must know that the wish spell costs 20,000 gold coins, so it's not for Antinoya.

Then tell me, what promise do I need to make? Zhao Xu said with emotion at this time.

Facing this situation, he had more or less made up his mind in his heart, as long as it wasn't too exaggerated, he would accept it.

After all.

There are too many war spells.

And the old man Matthews finally showed a satisfied look, understanding that his adventure had finally ushered in the rewarding moment.

He was extremely emotional, but he didn't dare to act without authorization. Finally, after a quarter of an hour passed like this, he opened his mouth to speak.

I want you to promise me that when——, don't give up——.

As the old man Matthews made his promise, Zhao Xu's ears suddenly rang, but he still understood the specific lines from the other party's lips.

Yes, I promise you. Zhao Xu also relaxed his heart and said seriously at this time, his eyes were firm at this time.

I can't predict what I will look like at that time, but I can assure you that at that time, I still have the heart of a child.

Very good, really good. The old man Matthews laughed heartily, It's really very pleasant.

Mr. Zhong Xia, I know you are also aware of the unusual mission you are carrying.

As he spoke, Matthews' eyes showed a trace of entanglement, and then turned into a firm tone, But I can tell you, Miss, she was in the hall of the Arcane Gate when you entered the association's resident branch in the underground of Mystra. , just before entering the 'portal gate'.

Miss, she is still debating whether to involve you in the disputes of this world. Even Her Majesty the Goddess, she only noticed you at that moment.

If it wasn't for you, Mr. Zhong Xia, you would have come to Mystra unavoidably. Miss, she really might not have rashly involved you in this dispute.

At this time, Matthews had tears in his eyes, So, it is really a last resort, please don't blame the lady.

As he spoke, his voice sank into a husk.

All of this is a choice of fate.

Visiting relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so far, the second chapter will be played tomorrow morning.

In order to celebrate the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, I am going to pay off my debts.
