The Truth of Magic Chapter 484: Unexplainable secrets

Because of the existence of magic, many times the defense system of a building must take it into consideration.

The command mansion of Oulu City covers a large area, and it also has another title in Oulu City-Inner City.

The gate alone in the inner city occupies almost an entire street, and the other three outer walls are dug into a "moat" with a width of five or six meters. Not to mention the various guard towers densely packed in the city, just a few hundred steps away from the arrow tower on the edge of the wall.

The inner city itself is divided into a front yard and a back yard.

The front yard is naturally the location of many official departments of the alliance, while the back yard is the office and residence that governs Tang De.

For the five-ring spell, "Transportation", the Commanding Mansion complex was considered at the beginning of the design.

Not to mention the "flying technique" from the sky, the "stone walking technique" from digging tunnels, and various "exploration techniques", "hawkeye technique", "sharp ear technique" and other secret stealing methods.

It's just a defense against magic. What you have to face is the contradiction between the duration of the spell, the scope of action, and the difficulty of maintenance.

It is like the solid wood floor in the home. Sometimes it is chosen because of the cost. It is only installed in the bedroom or even the master bedroom.

The Northern Alliance has been operating for many years, but it is not that it is impossible to achieve it. It is based on a purely cost-effective issue, and has its own emphasis on the deployment of the entire Commander’s Office.

The most critical first-level defense areas, such as the office areas of key departments and the residences of the commanding houses, are naturally the means to prohibit transmission and detection.

As for some open-air courtyards, ordinary corridors, etc., it is simply a means of detecting and transmitting.

Once someone sends in to trigger the "spell monitoring network", the resident wizards stationed in the command mansion will cooperate with the guards to round up.

Previously, Zhao Xu relied on Frei's recommendation and participated in the defense system of the Commander's Mansion.

At that time, when Wang Ningwei brought the Earth Mission to attend, he was acting as a guard and security officer, and looked shocked in the audience.

Naturally, Zhao Xu also knew the weaknesses of this extremely huge "spell monitoring network".

The first point is the "intermittent period" of the regular restart of the magic network. He can't wait for it now and naturally don't think about it.

The second point is its own systemic flaws. Under the huge scope of the "spell monitoring network" itself, it involves issues of mutual influence and interference.

So there are a few key blind spots that are unknown.

Even the Mage Association branch of the Northern Alliance cannot test every corner one by one with its best efforts. This has left a "flaw" in this seemingly impervious command mansion.

Zhao Xu clearly remembered that when he first arrived at the Commander's Mansion in his previous life, a critical "loophole" happened at that time.

So in those few days, their party was stationed to guard the area 24 hours a day, and waited until the wizards repaired it.

At this moment, when this point has not yet been exposed, let Zhao Xu make perfect use of it.

He easily teleported to the basement of the sentry tower where he had guarded for three days in his previous life.

However.

As soon as Zhao Xu had just completed the transmission, he heard this cry with a startled tone, and the whole person became tense, like a cat with exploded hair.

Although it sounds familiar, Zhao Xu's vision has not been restored because of the transmission, and there is darkness in front of him.

Zhao Xu raised the instant scepter in his hand on the spot, twisted his waist sideways, and pointed the tip of the stick in the direction of the sound at the same time.

It's just that he seems to be casting a spell against the opponent, but he confided in another spell.

"Rapid burst."

At this extremely urgent moment, Zhao Xu decided to cast this spell after some thoughts.

He wants to get the inevitable "first hand", so as not to fall into the situation of being attacked in the next few seconds.

In his previous life, he had been paralyzed by being called out. In fact, the long sword had been stabbed near the waist.

Zhao Xu had already thought very clearly in his mind. After gaining a mark of time, when he regained his eyesight, he could see who the person in front of him was.

If you know each other well, then nothing will happen naturally.

If not, it means he was exposed this time by sneaking. At that time, he will cast the spell "touch of chills" to subdue the opponent, or if there are too many people, he will use teleportation again to escape.

However.

The sense of stagnation in Zhao Xu's expectation did not come as promised, and the hands on the mechanical clock were still ticking and moving mercilessly.

[Adventurer Midsummer, your spell "Swift Burst" was countered by the target, and you lost the spell. 】

How could it be that such an incredible thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Xu's mind.

He cast the spell completely intuitively!

General mages want to target him unless they give up other actions at the beginning, and are prepared to "counter spells".

Otherwise, it will be too late to think about it when he casts the spell.

But how does the other party know that he has transmitted, so as to achieve this kind of "preparation"?

Slowly, Zhao Xu's eyes gradually opened. In this dim basement, he leaned on the faint oil lamp to barely see the appearance of the person in front of him.

"Huh."

Zhao Xu's heart finally put down a piece of the big rock.

"Instructor Antinoya."

Zhao Xu couldn't help asking, "We should be quite familiar, so we won't make a sound of shock when we see me."

At this moment, standing where Zhao Xu's eyes are, it is Antinoya, who is wearing a brocade-patterned robe and a dark gold cloak of secret secrets. It is obvious that her craftsmanship has increased a lot recently, and the patterns are a lot more complicated. .

At this time, Antinoya also looked at Zhao Xu softly.

"I'm thinking, since we meet again after a long time, I should show a sense of surprise." Antinoya said.

That is obviously frightening.

Zhao Xu thought to himself, but his mouth was still very honest, "Then I am so touched by the tutor."

"Well, but you performed well this time. Even if you hear a familiar voice, you still act decisively, without giving up the initiative. With this kind of cleverness, the next turbulent city of Oulu will not be enough. I'm going to collect the body for you."

"Then you were countered by your mentor." Zhao Xu was also a bit embarrassed, feeling that since recently, Antinoya's praise frequency for him has increased a lot.

"Idiot, you don't want to think about who I am." Antinoya snorted softly.

"Then mentor, you just countered my spells, did you use the ‘Insight of Warfare’?" Zhao Xu couldn’t help asking.

Insight into tactics, this three-ring spell can last 10 minutes per level. With Zhao Xu's current caster level, coupled with the "Spell Delay" specialty, it can easily break through seven or eight hours.

As long as his three-level spells are generous, he can be mounted as a permanent spell.

Insight into the tactics can automatically let him know that there is a spell cast within tens of meters. If he has a line of sight to see the opponent, he can also know the specific spell through the spell identification.

But the most important thing is that he can choose to dissipate the remaining duration and directly use "free actions" to counter the opponent's spells.

Without "preparation"!

So as long as Zhao Xu stays with this spell, he is not afraid of being threatened by close-range spells, which is equivalent to an efficient spell radar.

With his "swift burst", it can also counterattack a wave of first moves.

Just now he was a little embarrassed before trying to take the lead, but Antinoya backhanded again and countered his spell.

This is also the normal state of high-end mage warfare, gradually targeting each spell cast by the opponent.

The opponent casts a spell, and he "intuitively" moves "restrained" this time.

As a result, the other party also "intuitively" acted "restrained" him this time.

This kind of back-and-forth matryoshka often makes the outside world seem to have not spent a second, but there have been dozens of private confrontations between the two mages.

"The spell you mentioned, once you decide to start the dissipated energy'counter-control', it is only a one-time opportunity. I have to immediately make up for another'Insight Warfare', so I generally don't consume it first. This spell was used to counteract it.” Antinoya explained.

The implication is that Zhao Xu's "spell action" is not complicated enough, so she needs to use backup means.

She has, but not necessary.

"So fierce?"

"Midsummer, your journey to the mage is still very long." Antinoya said, "but I can tell you the direction of this effort."

"Basically, as long as I want, no one can successfully cast spells in front of me."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but open his pupils slightly.

Each wizard can only counter one spell per round.

So in a mage battle, if one more mage abandons the spell and prepares to act "counter-spell", that would be very disgusting.

"In midsummer, you can only counter a spell once per round because you can only "prep" once to target the opponent's next spell."

"Once the opponent does not cast a spell, then your countermeasures will also fail. Although the spell will not be wasted, the synchronization of the body makes it impossible for you to cast spells."

Zhao Xu nodded his head after hearing this. Spell countermeasures this kind of tasteless mode of action is also the reason that spell countermeasures are not common in their low-end games.

"Furthermore, to counter a spell, you have to prepare the same spell to counter it. Generally, unless the mainstream spell is commonly prepared by everyone, it is generally not easy to have the opportunity to take effect." Zhao Xu said.

However, he also knows that no matter how unusable the "spell countermeasure" is, it is another solution to the "mage cleavage".

It is equivalent to the universal "offset spell" of wizards.

"Teacher, is there any advancement that has special bonuses to spell countermeasures?"

At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think about it.

In the future, if someone tries to cast a spell in front of him, he will counteract it without saying anything.

No one can cast spells without his permission.

This is pretending to be invisible.

Especially Zhao Xu has unlimited spell slots, and relying on "multi-talented spellcaster" and "bizarre seer" can counteract without preparing corresponding spells.

"Hey." Antinoya smiled triumphantly at this time, "This is based on expertise."

"Specialty?" Zhao Xu was surprised.

He has at least four or five more specialties than the average person now, which is a bit more generous.

"Strictly speaking, it is a chain of expertise." Antinoya explained.

"For example, with the'Proficient Counter-Spells' feat, you can use higher-level spells of the same faction to counter-control without being restricted to the same spells."

"Another example is the'Passive Counter Spells' specialty, which allows me to counteract when I notice you casting a spell without having to prepare in advance."

"Another example is the Legendary Specialty'Legendary Counter Spells', which allows me to counter spells an unlimited number of times per round."

"As for the three I just mentioned with you, they are all progressive relationships. You must learn the previous specialty before you can learn the next specialty. Even the legendary specialty requires you to meet the proficiency The three fronts: first attack, combat reflection, and instant spell cast."

After listening to Antinoya's mention, Zhao Xu couldn't help but be speechless.

This legendary counter-spell directly requires five common specialties as the prerequisites, but Zhao Xu has both combat reflexes and instant spells in it.

Under the premise of being able to maintain no decompression on the low circle mage, the cost of its own realization is extremely huge.

You need to know that depending on the level of feat, from level 1 to level 20, that adds up to only seven feats.

However, Zhao Xu still prepared silently in his heart.

I also confirmed a chain of expertise for myself in the future.

While Zhao Xu thought about it, he shook his head and returned to the original question, "Teacher, why are you here?"

It is said that because he does not have the "mind barrier" spell, he can't avoid the detection and detection spells, and can only sneak in by finding the "black spots" that are controlled.

As far as Antinoya is concerned, even if the kingdom of the gods is in front of her, she still has the courage to rush into it so violently that she won't find something like Zhao Xu.

"Didn't I tell you before, does the leader of this alliance, Donde believe in Grazt?"

Zhao Xu immediately reacted, "Teacher, what do you mean is that the magic monitoring network in this area is strange, there are traces of Grazite?"

"Yes, otherwise, how dare I conclude that Dunde and Grazt are related. Although it is not obvious, I vaguely noticed that these defensive reconnaissance spells are integrated into Grazt's little abyssal power. Man Mogua found out this inner reason."

"The divine power on the'Spell Surveillance Network' is extremely weak, and it can't play a defensive role at all, so the priests of Oulu City did not realize this. But it is enough to remind Douglazt of what power has entered. Here."

"If a mage with a'mind barrier' rushes to a non-critical point by virtue of the effect of immunity, although the monitoring of the spell net will not detect it, the Grazt behind the scenes will be able to detect the movement of the net."

Zhao Xu couldn't help nodding after hearing this. Antinoya didn't want to be discovered by Grazt, so like Zhao Xu, sneaked into this black spot before proceeding.

It seems that he came in according to the black spots of the surveillance network, and it really was a mistake.

"Actually, I am also quite strange." Antinoya said, "What is the secret that makes Grazite monitor this ground, even I suspect that it will lead the alliance to "Tunde". Those who became his believers were also for this reason."

"Generally speaking, these abyss lord development believers~IndoMTL.com~ are all striving for privacy. Such lord-level powerhouses are difficult to overcome without breaking the weakness of the soul. Even if they succeed successfully, they can easily be exposed. Come out.",

"In other words, if you don't want to be exposed, you have to consume more resources of Grazt, which is not cost-effective."

Zhao Xu nodded. It should be that he is also thinking about the internal reasons.

The thoughts in my mind slowly lead to the "Battle of Demons" that affected all forces north of the entire Ice Mountain Range in the previous life.

The initial cause of that war was countless "portals" that directly communicated between the abyss and purgatory.

The powerful deep purgatory in **** does not have the ability to teleport from other worlds. If they want to reach "Arthur", they have to rely on the once-a-year "pray technique" to simulate the "extraordinary" World Teleport" spell.

If you want to go back afterwards, you will have to wait for the "Prayer" to cool down next year.

For the lower-level demons and demons, coming to the "Arthur" where the delicious soul can be seen everywhere, that is a more eager but unattainable thing.

"It is said that you are here to detonate this, as a reward for the'Howard Luxury Bedding' and the'Ascension Ankh', but I still have to arrange it here first after all."

"I don't want your soul to be swept away by the abyss. When I came to search for the soul, it was really embarrassing."

Zhao Xu opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't expect Antinoya to disappear before coming here to bury his backs.

Antinoya frowned slightly, "I want to ask you about Midsummer."

"I directly found the ‘spell defense plan’ of this commander’s mansion, and then I did a mental calculation, and I figured out some of the flaws, and found this kind of penetration point."

"What about you?" Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu interestingly.

"How did you know that the basement of this sentry tower would not be discovered?"
