The Truth of Magic Chapter 186: Things that don’t exist
To tell the truth, the fierce rat is not strong in combat power. As long as he wears armor or applies a wizard armor spell, with the attack of the fierce rat, he wants to really attack Zhao Xu.
Not to mention, the star cloak on Zhao Xu is enough to make him immune to the biting attack of the fierce rat.
Unless it is a more powerful race whose natural weapons can be regarded as magic weapons, the cloak on Zhao Xu's body is immune to ordinary weapons, which is equivalent to the natural weapons that are immune to those monsters.
Naturally they can't touch Zhao Xu.
This is the power of the seven-level spell "Star Cloak".
This is why Zhao Xu dared to step in without fear.
Zhao Xu observed the nearly one-meter long underneath his lower body, which seemed to outsiders to be a very large and fierce rat.
This animal with an average of 5 HP can only be regarded as a small creature, similar in size to a goblin. With the blessing of just four magic missiles, the fierce rat directly died on the spot.
I didn’t even experience the most basic near-death process.
It's a pity that mice are disliked. If it is a wild boar, Zhao Xu can still use the meat and sell it for money, ranging from meat to fangs.
"Do you know this animal?" Zhao Xu said as he looked at the two women, but the other party shook his head in shock.
Zhao Xu didn't expect him to ask about the weakness of the two women's knowledge.
But this is also reasonable. After all, genius has a certain limit.
Light is mysticism knowledge and even all kinds of knowledge, which are so complex that it will not be possible for a genius to fully understand it in a month.
"This is a fierce rat, an omnivorous scavenger, generally only attacking to protect its nest territory. It is estimated that we came into this sentry tower and it was considered offensive to its territory."
Zhao Xu tried to push the "mechanical goggles" on the bridge of his nose. "The biggest risk is that once it is bitten, if it fails to resist toughness, after a one to three day incubation period, it will Take 1-3 points of agility damage and physical damage."
Once the Maple Leaf team encountered the ghost and had not resisted the opponent's supernatural ability, their team received attribute damage and relied on natural recovery to recover, but the combat effectiveness must have declined during that time.
At this time, Eswig finally stood up with a lingering fear, and pulled Wang Ningwei, who had just been squatting on the ground with an indecent posture, by the way.
"This fierce rat is not big enough to pass through the gap in the wooden door just now." Eiswig resumed his calm analysis and said.
Wang Ningwei also observed the ground conditions on the first floor of the sentry tower at this time, wondering if he would use the detection secret door to search for it.
There is no food in the tower. It is certainly impossible that this ferocious rat came in when he was a child and then gained weight, and the vines on the wall showed no signs of being eaten.
As for the debris on the floor of the wooden door just now, it also means that it was not caused by ordinary rats, but by the ferocious rats in front of them.
So this may indicate that there is a mysterious passage in this watchtower through which the fierce rat can enter.
While Zhao Xu looked at the two women, he couldn't help but laugh.
As expected, if the basic reasoning information is missing, it is easy for a smart person to get it wrong.
"This fierce rat's climbing skills are nearly 11-level bonus." Zhao Xu said simply.
Fierce Rats are not very agile, but they can't help but have the ability to climb races, and their climbing is very stable, as long as they can go up, they will basically not miss.
At this time, the two women suddenly came over.
In fact, they also noticed the window-sized opening on the second floor, which was just enough to let this fierce rat through, but they didn't expect that the other party's heavy body could actually climb up.
"I was in the gravel and turned to this notebook." At this moment, Zhao Xu took the notebook out of his pocket, and the scream interrupted him just now.
Now that it has been confirmed that the fierce rat has died, we are back to the subject.
At this time, the faces of the two women blushed, but they immediately observed the black cover notebook in Zhao Xu's hand, and there was a tie tightly fixed on the cover.
Zhao Xu also loosened the twisted cable tie, and then gently opened it under his control.
However, the pages in the notebook are already torn and ragged, turning into many small, non-adhesive pieces of paper, even with the writing on them blurred.
"Captain, how long is that story?" Wang Ningwei asked with a little confusion.
Zhao Xu slightly frowned and recalled, and said in a skeptical tone: "It is estimated that there should be in four hundred years."
At this time, Eswig interjected, "I just searched it, and my knowledge and skills failed. But I have read the history of Mystra’s Millennium Capital, would you tell me the name of the barracks or general? Maybe I A little impressed."
"The name of the commander of the Southern Banner Corps, seems to be Sweet Les." Zhao Xu said.
Eswig nodded slightly, "That was indeed 400 years ago. There is a record in the history of the city of Mystra that the Sweet family migrated over the Tianduan Mountains 500 years ago. Now Their descendants still live in Mistral. And Mistral 300 years ago, issued a bill prohibiting any foreign formed army from stationing within 300 miles."
Eiswig immediately compressed the time to the interval between 500 years ago and 300 years ago, which is exactly in line with what Zhao Xu said 400 years ago.
Zhao Xu quickly searched the name of this family with his knowledge (nobles and royals), but found that it failed.
I am afraid that the other party can know this, but it really depends on a strong memory.
But this is just that Zhao Xu didn't deliberately solve it. Otherwise, it can be combined with the spells before Zhao Xu, or use Wang Ningwei's book that can improve the results of knowledge checks 3 times a day.
They can still retrieve the results based on their knowledge and skills.
This is also the reason why knowledge skills, and even one of Arthur's strongest skills, because it represents a powerful intelligence work.
And Zhao Xu carefully analyzed the building materials of this floor, and it can last for four hundred years without much damage. The quality of this tower is indeed very good.
is wrong.
After seeing something familiar, Zhao Xu's expression changed. He looked at the two women and said: "This tower is absolutely impossible to be abandoned 400 years ago to the present."
talking about Zhao Xu pointing his finger at the revolving staircase and said, “This red-browning brick process was improved and invented by master craftsman Nafor 200 years ago. How could it have appeared in a building 400 years ago.”
Both women couldn't help but stare at Zhao Xu in amazement at this time, knowing when the architectural design style appeared, and they could do it.
But even knowing the crafting time of a brick is a bit weird.
Unless you have invested points in the two skills of craft (brick-making) and professional (masonry research), you are unlikely to know the historical details of masonry.
It is not always possible for the man in front of him to point his knowledge (architecture and engineering) skills to level 10 or higher, just relying on the general classification knowledge and skills to retrieve it.
But they couldn't guess that after Zhao Xu passed through his previous life, relying on his own power, his parents almost monopolized a "brick-burning factory" in the small town.
At that time, the red-bricked brick craftsmanship was brought back by Zhao Xu after going to the big town to find a friend for a drink and to have a relationship with him.
He was naturally impressed by this.
At this moment, the two women are also looking at the spiral staircase that leads to the second floor.
As Zhao Xu said, there are only two explanations.
One possibility is that this staircase was repaired in the back.
Another possibility is that this sentry tower, from the very beginning, was not the one that was five hundred years ago.
At this time, the three of them thought of these two possibilities and looked at each other.
At that time, everyone was still half-believing in the "Forest of Curious Words", so when we encountered weird phenomena, we were okay.
But this is a real watch tower, but there is still such a weird and unreasonable scene.
Who would spend a hundred years to do this disguise?
Watching the two women panting slightly nervously, Zhao Xu spoke as the captain: "Well, let's go all the way to the top level, first make sure that there are no outsiders in this outpost."
They didn't search first at the beginning, but the cracks in the door were so small that there was little chance of anyone here, but they didn't expect that there would be a fierce rat going in through the window that climbed to the second floor.
After confirming the plan, Zhao Xu continued to take the lead and stand in front, and the two women followed him and moved forward.
The sentry tower has a total of five floors, and this military facility is different from a private building. There are no hand guards on the spiral staircases, and the three of them can only move up against the wall.
The next few layers don't look too unusual.
The second floor is the meeting place. There is a collapsing conference table, which is also torn by the fierce rat.
The third floor is the rest place for sentries or officers, and the fourth floor is the weapon room. Some weapon racks are still there, but the valuable weapons have long been hollowed out and taken away.
Only two hand-held stone piers for exercise were not picked up by anyone, and they were still piled up in the corner of the wall.
Zhao Xu didn't think too much, and continued to take the two women to the fifth floor, which was also the highest guard post on the guard tower.
Zhao Xu walked up the stairs, suddenly his vision became extremely widened, and the entire scene of the wilderness on the other side fell into his eyes.
When this sentry tower was built, it was mainly for security purposes, so the view on the fifth floor was completely open without any obstruction,
Above the is a wooden shed roof, which was previously used for sun protection and rain protection, but now it has collapsed long ago, leaving only some wood chips on the ground and half of the wooden pillars on the surrounding low walls.
even the lookout post on the wooden top that can continue to climb high, disappeared.
"Those fierce rats don't eat wood residue, right?" Eiswig said, looking at the few pieces of wood left on the ground.
"This stone pier is a bit strange." At this moment, Wang Ningwei stood in the middle and said, there was something like a one-meter-high stone mill in front of her.
The two immediately walked forward~IndoMTL.com~ they noticed a raised stone cone on the surface of the stone pier.
At this time, the morning sun was quite good, shining on the stone cone, and the shadow of the tip of the cone just covered a number, which is the number ten written in common language.
means ten o'clock.
"Ningwei, this is the sundial, depending on the sun at different moments, in different positions in the sky, so that the present tense can be judged from the shadow--" Eiswig's voice stopped abruptly.
Zhao Xu looked at the sundial with solemn expression.
He raised his head, and the sunlight was shining gently on his face, which made people feel warm.
It’s just that Zhao Xu’s back is chilly.
There used to be a wooden canopy with a high watchpoint above it, and the sun couldn't get down at all.
Why build such a sundial?
