The Truth of Magic Chapter 259: Spell upgrade
On the next road, the post road itself was well repaired, and the carriage kept moving forward steadily. Zhao Xu and his party stayed in the carriage, which also blocked the external snow.
Only from time to time I can faintly hear the sound of horse hooves following the cavalry.
When it was about to approach the town of Shuanglu, the carriage halted suddenly and stopped.
This kind of change instantly caused everyone in the carriage to be on the verge of an enemy, and they hurriedly held their weapons and prepared to be on guard.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xu immediately asked in a low voice.
"My lord, on the tree stump in front, there were a few wild wolves just now. But when we got closer, the wild wolves were frightened and ran away, but the horses stopped after being frightened."
At this time, the groom seemed a little unbelievable. After a pause, he continued, "The stump seems to have a corpse tied to it, but it looks like a lamb."
"Go and see." Zhao Xu keenly noticed something wrong.
Elliton suddenly turned his head. In his impression, Mr. Zhongxia never cared too much about bad things.
just heard the exclamation of people, and then participated in Mrs. Betty.
, while Zheng Xinyun followed silently, she had a clear mindset at this time after receiving the training of the pastor: "Wolves hunting will not tie lambs to tree stumps. Moreover, this place is not a hilly terrain. There are too many lambs. It's weird."
"What does it have to do with?" Elliton asked rhetorically.
At this time, Zheng Xinyun lowered her head slightly, and the expression in her eyes became more serious, "Some kind of sacrifice?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Betty, who was holding her young son and didn't want to move, her face changed.
She directly touched the partition of the carriage, and through the coolness of her fingertips, she understood that the extra steel plate was installed on it, which was very strong.
She gently put down the child she was holding in her arms, showing a soft expression, and followed everyone out of the car.
Then she immediately signaled that the cavalry who had followed this time looked optimistic about the carriage.
After her reorganization of recruitment, in addition to her original nine guards all replaced with horses, she also specially added three defensive cavalry to follow them.
As for the other cavalry, she arranged to go elsewhere.
After getting off the carriage, Zhao Xu found that the place temporarily stopped on the post road was a cemetery lined with tombstones. He wanted to come here as the place where the residents of Shuanglu Town nearby buried their relatives.
After the death of Arthur’s residents, after all, a small number of people choose cremation, and most of them choose to go to the soil for security.
is just the "manipulation of dead bodies", the three-ring magic and four-ring arcane, which is so famous that Zhao Xu alone can use it now.
He can directly transform the bones or corpses of dead creatures into skeletons or zombies, and accept his orders.
This is also the key spell for the Necromancer to form the undead army.
, like Zhao Xu's spell to evoke high-level undead, it only creates powerful undead creatures. He still relied on the necromancer's staff combined with the fragments of the godhead to be able to drive the opponent.
Therefore, people who choose to bury most of them will consider avoiding the risk of corpses being transformed into undead creatures in the future.
In the end, most civilians will choose to be buried in a designated area divided by the church.
At this time, Zhao Xu walked to the corpse of the lamb that had been cracked and bitten so badly, and carefully observed.
After a while, several other people approached and watched together.
The other cavalry are responsible for stalking the surroundings and guarding the carriage. The more experienced Chief Guard Chuck, who is responsible for the safety of Mrs. Betty, also walked over and watched.
Zhao Xu initially paid attention to this beard-faced 1st-level fighter, but he didn't worry much.
"Can you see it?" Zhao Xu asked, standing beside the corpse of a lamb that was somewhat decomposed and flies flying on it.
Madam Betty couldn't help feeling dizzy when she saw it. After finally standing still, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve.
Elliton, who had experienced huge trauma, had no psychological barriers at this time, so he leaned in front of Zhao Xu, even took out a glove and put it on, plucking the wound of the lamb that was ripped apart. .
Most of Zheng Xinyun stayed in the church these days. At this time, it was the first time to see this kind of **** scene. Although there was no dizziness, his head was still a little numb.
After holding her breath slowly, she also squatted down, leaning against Zhao Xu to observe.
To the performance of the two, Zhao Xu nodded silently.
The reason for the authenticity of Arthur is that when players first come into contact with corpses, especially humans, they will feel unwell.
Generally, medical students can adapt without barriers, and other psychological adjustments are often required.
Even after crossing, many players realized that this is a real world, so they didn't dare to cut down when they were at war with people. They hesitated for a while, but there were also examples of being counter-killed by people.
"It seems to be two injuries." After watching the different shapes of the wound, Elliton derives his own conclusion.
It happens that in the tutor course, he also practices the human body structure, which is not unfamiliar.
"Yes." Zhao Xu confirmed.
"Someone should have tied the lamb to this stump." Elliton pointed to the hemp rope that strangled the lamb's neck. He also deliberately used the knotting method that the more struggling, the tighter the knot.
The other end of the hemp rope was fixed to a dead tree stump that was only half a person high.
"The dead knot made specifically means that it is not temporarily fixed at all. I am completely planning to put this lamb here and let it be slaughtered." Zhao Xu added analysis.
"So this lamb was preyed immediately, and we just saw the lamb's carcass after the wolves had left, but it was actually the second predation." Zheng Xinyun also reacted, "Is it because of sacrifice? So? Only picking around the cemetery."
At this time, she was awake all over.
Even if she first entered the game, she knew that Arthur's involvement in ritual sacrifices was never a trivial matter.
"On the contrary."
At this time, Zhao Xu stood up, his gaze crossed the tombstones on the low mounds, his gaze went over the end, and fell into the silent valley farther away.
"The cemetery itself has been blessed by divine magic. It is like the second ring’s “consecration”. It blesses an area with positive energy so that it cannot transform into undead creatures. The disadvantage is that it can only last two per level. Hours and limited range."
" And the five-ring holy dwelling technique, besides itself can be used to solidify the spells of'detection magic','assistance', and'anti-death enchantment', there is another point that it can also make a piece of The area cannot be transformed into undead creatures, but this is also common in the graveyards of nobles."
"Considering the cost and area issues, most of the civilian cemeteries are blessed with similar rituals. The disadvantage is that they may not be able to completely avoid being transformed into undead creatures, but the difficulty of transformation will increase sharply, and the coverage area is also It can be very wide."
said Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at the others, “So the other party didn’t want this bitten lamb to have an abnormality and only picked it near the cemetery. Otherwise, there are complete trees farther away, but the lamb is tied there. It’s not easy to break free."
During Zhao Xu's analysis, his team members nodded, and Mrs. Betty responded with a stiff smile.
Zhao Xu, who saw this scene, was already stunned.
was just that when he first gave Mrs. Betty "suggestion", in order to reduce the other party's rebellious mood just not long after hearing the "old witch".
So he arranged for the spell to be of the "trigger" type. Only after Mrs. Betty arrived in Frostlu Town, the thoughts revealed by Zhao Xu would germinate under the effect of the suggestion technique.
Even in the 12-hour spell duration, if they did not reach Frostdew Town, this suggestion technique would simply fail.
Because of this connection, Zhao Xu has suspected the old hag.
"Captain, there is a dilapidated hut nearby, but we did not go in and search." At this time, two cavalry patrolling nearby returned to report.
"Mrs. Betty, I'm afraid we have to investigate. Your people can stay here, and you can send a signal if there is a problem." Zhao Xu said kindly at this time, but his expression was very ambiguous.
Mrs. Betty shook her head, "No, let's go there together. Cooperate with your actions, Mr. Pastor. It is my honor to wait."
"Let's go together, Mrs. Betty." Zhao Xu does need information from the other party at a critical time and invites him directly.
No one at the scene dared to question Zhao Xu's nosy ~ IndoMTL.com~ In fact, when the pastor discovers this kind of incident involving evil sacrifices, it is a fake pastor who does not pay attention to it or investigate it.
Zhao Xu's performance is extremely reasonable in the eyes of everyone. Because this is no longer a simple case of lamb being eaten.
"I'll be the first, you follow." After thinking about it, Zhao Xu still ordered.
At this time, he estimated the situation, just as it was not far away from Frostlu Town, he immediately began to cast spells on himself.
"Energy protection!"
Following a group of glow mapping into Zhao Xu's body, he was directly immune to the attribute damage caused by the subsequent use of the "Super Magic Control" ability.
But then he didn't continue to cast spells in a hurry, he needed to wait for the arrival of a key specialty.
He directly stared at his character card panel silently.
When he was promoted to level 6, he got a multiplier level of 3, and he was able to obtain the character level bonus specialty.
Before the 5th-level mage's super magic feat, he chose "spell lasting", and the "steel will" feat exchanged for "spell instant".
This time the level 6 feat, he directly chose the lowest difficulty. Basically everyone has no threshold to master, just using the costly "spell upgrade".
After reading the classics on the speciality taught on the carriage, combined with the characteristics of this specialization that he had used to simulate this speciality with his useful potential points.
Everything was exactly as Zhao Xu had expected. Before he arrived in Shuanglu Town, this reminder came in his mind.
[Adventurer Midsummer, you get the ‘spell upgrade’ feat (level 6 character feat). 】
