The Truth of Magic Chapter 70: The road to return
Standing in Hurricane City, Zhao Xu once again felt the familiarity of the prosperous commercial town without traces of magic.
This is more like the world in which the majority of Arthur’s lives live.
Hurricane City is a hub city north of the Tianduan Mountains.
This city, which was rumored to have been destroyed by a legendary wizard using storm spells, has become extremely prosperous after nearly a hundred years of reconstruction.
Every day in the city, countless caravans depart or return here to transfer supplies from dozens of cities and towns under the jurisdiction of the "Tianbei Commercial League".
But after the familiarity, Zhao Xu still felt a headache when looking at the map of the entire Tianduan Mountains area in his hand.
The task given to him by Antinoya is very simple——
She threw Zhao Xu from Mystra, south of the Tianduan Mountains, to Hurricane City, north of the Tianduan Mountains.
Let him, a character, go back to the magic city of Mystra without teleporting.
The distance between the two large towns is hundreds of miles in diameter alone, not to mention the huge risks across the Tiannan Mountains.
With the power of the "Tiannan Commercial Alliance", a safe post road has not yet been developed.
Zhao Xu estimated that when he really spent half a month returning to Mystra, he estimated that he would have been promoted to the second-level mage, and another career line could also be promoted to the dossier scholar.
In the last six years of his previous life, Zhao Xu has participated in countless wild adventures, and he is not worried at all when it comes to experience.
The only problem is that his health and fault tolerance are not enough.
After Zhao Xu was promoted to the monk priest, his Hit Dice has become the monk priest’s D6. Although it is not as good as the traditional priest’s D8, it is still enough to dislike the wizard’s D4.
His current HP is 8hp, which is greatly improved by 2 points, and his waist is also hard by two points.
Legendary Mage 1HP dare to run rampant in Arthur, because others have the capital to be immune to all kinds of damage.
Zhao Xu’s 8hp, not to mention receiving a round of fire in the wild, just a little aftermath is enough for him to go to the Temple of Creation.
But death is another way for Zhao Xu to complete the task. Anyway, he will be resurrected in Mystra.
It’s just that, I’m afraid he won’t get any good rewards next, and it will greatly delay his upgrade progress.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu still carried his Howard convenience bag and walked towards the secret alley in the north of the city.
This latest piece of information is now appearing on the Zhao Xu character card information panel.
[Adventurer Midsummer makes a ‘learning’ check for a monk priest, and the result of the check is =1 (priest) + 3 (intelligence) + D20=1+3+8=11, greater than 10DC, and obtains a ‘general and extensive legend’. The details are as follows...]
Compared to traditional priests, monastic priests are weaker than force and stronger than culture.
"Learning" is the unique ability of monastic priests. Similar to the "anecdotal knowledge" of bards, Zhao Xu's knowledge and skills are low, and he is more inclined to specific problems.
So it’s not as fast as "learning" to understand local legends directly.
He immediately passed the general rumors and knew directly where he was most convenient to go.
The location of the secret alley in the north of the city is very remote, the surrounding buildings are densely adjacent, the whole area lacks direct light, and the ground is a bit damp.
A few people who looked like they stood in the street chatting, glanced at Zhao Xu's clothes and didn't pay attention anymore.
It’s just that Zhao Xu’s goal is them. He walked straight over and asked in a low voice, "I need a ticket to the Southern Metropolis."
South is in Hurricane City, referring to the magical city of Mystra.
Mistrawi is so famous that ordinary people don’t dare to mention his real name easily.
One of them was tall and thin, with a linen shirt leader. He looked at Zhao Xu in a robe and said with disdain: "What capital do you have?"
"Spellcaster, take me to meet your head." Zhao Xu said lightly.
The contemptuous attitude of the people around suddenly stopped, the leader lowered his eyebrows and said, "My lord, please follow me."
Zhao Xu didn't say much and followed him.
Back to these mortal towns, Zhao Xu's previous life experience became useful again.
is no longer like facing Antinoya, he is just a fully taught student.
These few dressed-up people, he can judge from the body knowledge of the other party at a glance, most of them are ordinary people who have not received professional training, that is, they are first-class civilians.
can't even reach the most basic level one warrior.
and the warrior is already a weakened version of the warrior.
can't find a warrior, and turn to a less demanding warrior is the ecology of Arthur's most common people.
Zhao Xu walked for about ten minutes, and then he came to a lively tavern, where he was also the seat of "Caesar", the leader of the underground forces in the secret alley.
When went upstairs, Zhao Xu estimated the surrounding environment next time, and it was indeed that the light and dark sentries were all set up in place.
However, when Zhao Xu goes to a place he is not familiar with, he always estimates the route to break through.
There are three assassins given to him by Antinoya in his backpack, and a reward is deducted for every use of one.
But it's really wrong, and he will use it without hesitation.
Caesar, who was sitting in the corner and chatting with his buddies, sat up a little after hearing the report from his subordinates, and looked at Zhao Xu, "Are you going to the southern capital?"
Zhao Xu nodded.
"Earth Player?" Ordinary Caesar can tell at a glance.
After a month of edification, the native Arthurs are now accustomed to calling this group of earth adventurers as players.
is the temperament that Zhao Xu exudes, which makes Caesar hesitate to think that he is a native like them.
"That's right," Zhao Xu said.
Players have not yet intervened too many forces, and many forces also like to arrange players to be peripheral thugs.
Dare to work hard not to be afraid of death, and it is very affordable.
"Oh, you players on earth should know what is going on in the Tiannan Mountains?"
"I know that the two towns at the foot of Beishan are trying to break away from the business alliance~IndoMTL.com~Basically, regular business travelers have abandoned their plans to cross the Tiannan Mountains in the near future. This is why I came to you."
At this time, only the smuggling teams of these underground forces dared to venture across the Tianduan Mountains.
, they are the only ones who are not afraid of the dark and dare to take outsiders on the road.
"It seems that I also asked about it first, Mr. Caster, how much are you willing to pay for such a ticket?" Caesar said after thinking about it.
Zhao Xu, who was a sheriff in his previous life, has handled the lair of this underground force more than once, and no fewer than three have been killed by him on the spot.
In addition, he still has a killer in his backpack, and he has enough psychological advantages.
really wants to bargain, he can in turn collect an **** fee.
It’s just that these are outside things, and he is more important to reach Mystra.
"When encountering a battle, I will join and provide spell support. However, if the situation is not right, I will leave the battle on my own."
Hearing what the other party said, Caesar was relieved, this was his bottom line.
It’s not difficult to turn around and kill the caster, but the subsequent troubles are too great.
A few days ago, a habitually acquainted with the forces next door stole the wallet of a player on the earth and was discovered by the other party.
Stealing the head on the spot summoned people to drive away the players.
Who knew that night, the female adventurer was able to summon dozens of adventurers of various professions to desperately siege the thieves organization.
makes the whole secret alley almost change color when it comes to players.
They opened the door to make money, not to make trouble.
"The earth adventurers under the bar are also going to the southern capital together. I think you are also in the same identity as them. When you turn back, you merge into their team and act together."
