At the top of the central tower of the real fantasy world, the walls made of red stone bricks are hung with floating projections, showing the real scene of the entire Forest of Strange Words.

The projection has a variety of perspectives, as if there are pairs of eyes dotted in different positions in the void.

And if you look closely at those pictures, you will find that more than half of them are around the stone monument that has exploded.

"Vice President, those voices you conjured up just now don't make sense, right?" When Lei An reached the fracture canyon from Zhao Xu and the others, he had already taken a back seat, and did not intervene in the manipulation of the later scenes.

Therefore, after Lu and Ying were killed by the black light curse, the voice that Zhao Xu heard was not made by Lei An.

"As outsiders, we can often observe others with a godlike mentality. And those who are in the game, especially in the situation where death will officially dissipate after a few seconds, will be more tormented when they receive mental torture. ”

The vice president of the Mage Association looked at Zhao Xu in the projection and said that his expression had eased a lot from just now.

Ryan couldn't help but think deeply at this time.

He knew that Fufeng was not just to test whether Zhao Xu would save people.

In the spell of taking the stone stele, after Zhao Xu used up one chance to protect himself, the remaining two chances could save one person, and then use it to materialize the looming pontoon bridge, and then the two who survived passed together.

Those who were not chosen to be resurrected were naturally resurrected by Ryan, but the other party also lost the opportunity to move on.

This test itself is to screen each other and prove each other's abilities.

The strongest can pick the most valuable teammates, and that's the cruel truth of that stele.

Only Zhao Xu chose to refuse to move forward, and both spells were used to save people.

This choice has been made before, but it will never be to the point where the vice president is moved.

Ryan knew there must be something deeper, and he hadn't been able to see it yet.

"So be it."

After Vice President Fury said this, he immediately teleported away.

-----------------------------

When Zhao Xu revealed that he was already a level 3 mage, Wang Ningwei and Eswig both looked at Zhao Xu with some surprise.

In fact, even Zhao Xu himself didn't understand what happened here.

He knew that on his character card panel, the character level had changed to level 3 at the moment.

That is, after he completes some of the remaining promotion conditions, he will be an authentic level 3 mage, and he will also be a level 1 priest and a level 2 dossier scholar.

He leveled up on the spot just like when he met Mage Ryan at the bottom of the mine and directly had all the conditions to become a level 2 person.

"You mean, in this adventure, you were upgraded to level 3?" Eswig asked Zhao Xu with a certain mentality.

At this time, the air on the edge of the cliff still had a faint smell of decay, which was the sequelae of the outbreak of the black light of death.

However, Zhao Xu could feel the upgraded abundant strength in his whole body, including his potential points, which had also returned to a full state.

What's more, from now on, he can go and learn the Second Ring Spell.

The door to the new world of the Second Ring Spell was finally opened to him.

"But speaking of which, why are you trying to save us? Or, if you want to save it, choose Lu, oh, it should be said that Ning Wei is not enough? She is a good helper for more wealth and treasure. Eswig quipped.

Wang Ningwei just looked at the two of them with a smile on her face from the beginning, and didn't say much.

Everyone can change and survive, enough is enough for her.

Even the fact that Zhao Xu became a level 3 mage was just a trivial matter.

After Zhao Xu heard Eswig's question, he was silent for a while and said, "I didn't think too much, I just didn't want to see life disappear in front of me." ”

"I reject this choice at the expense of others." Zhao Xu explained.

He's not great, it's just that some things are really unnecessary.

He's going to the top, he's going to be resurrected, and he's going to earn it himself.

And there is no need to use the death of the two daughters here in exchange for one or two more resurrections.

"I owe you." Eswig said softly.

Suddenly, the blood-red sky began to change, like a dark red cloth being splashed with bright paint, and the sky was torn apart little by little.

The earth shook as the ground slowly filled the cracks.

Immediately after, a blinding light descended from the sky, piercing all the silence of this deep space.

Zhao Xu was in a trance for a while, and reopened his eyes after the bright light.

In front of him was a calm and tranquil small classroom, and outside the light-filled screen window was a peaceful and peaceful scene of the floating city.

The dappled sunlight shone on them like a new life.

"This real illusion works well, doesn't it?" Ryan sat down in a hand-carved chair and motioned for the three to sit down as well.

"Congratulations on passing this test for the time being." When the three of them sat down in the chairs in front of him, Ryan smiled.

"Don't go ahead to the next link?" Wang Ningwei asked.

And Zhao Xu and Eswig also looked at Lei An with the same looks.

The three of them knew that this test was actually just the first scene, and at the end of that blood moon, there must be something they could explore.

"Actually, you're on the wrong track." Ryan explained awkwardly.

"The name of this illusion is 'The Witch's Vault'. It's a test fantasy with a long span, but the difficulty behind it is too high to suit you right now. So the original intention of the test at the beginning was to let you go back to the direction of the eighth-story elevator, where you can find a secret door, and what is inside is what I want you to find. ”

"The fractured stele is the content of the later tests. It's just that I didn't expect that a few of you new mages would be able to pile up knowledge and skills that are enough to decipher the content of the stone tablet. It really deserves to be the best in the player base. Ryan complimented.

At this time, he had already noticed that Zhao Xu had become a level 3 person, and there was a hint of disbelief in his smile.

The three of them were a little dazed, after they first explored and thought it might be teleportation, they didn't look like it too much, who would have expected this situation.

However, if they can't cross the cliff, they will naturally turn back to look for clues, and the secret door will probably be able to be found by then.

It's just that they just made up a full 19+ skill bonuses, and directly played the follow-up plot.

"Then we don't have to test? What about the rewards? Eswig asked more realistically.

"There are still stage rewards." Ryan suddenly felt that he had a more difficult opponent.

"As for the follow-up tests, we'll have to wait until you're all at level 3. I promise, the contents of the Witch's Vault are useful even in the late game. ”

"Actually, this real illusion has many copies of this kind of test, except for the ability that cannot be taken away, most of the other physical objects you find are real and usable. Therefore, being able to come to the eighth layer is a reward in itself. ”

"However, this kind of quest has a progress lock, so the next time you all reach level 3, you will have to come together to open it."

Ryan explained with a somewhat sly smile.

"Hmph, finally admit that those three mages are fake? Hehe, this kind of eerie scene, I won't come next time I invite me. Eswig said firmly.

Wang Ningwei said: "I listened to Midsummer and Eswig. ”

Zhao Xu didn't expect Eswig to speak so righteously, but thinking of the other party's collective character, don't say it's really fragrant at that time.

"I'm also very busy, so I'll get to the point and teach you the ability to 'disguise spells'." Ryan hurriedly urged.

The real inside story behind the witch's vault chest, he only knows a little about it, this illusion open to low-level mages, and it is unknown whether anyone has cleared it.

Lei An will start to explain to Zhao Xu and the others the ins and outs of 'disguised spell casting' and the skills of using this small classroom, which is not spacious.

It's just that when he heard the specific content, let alone Zhao Xu, even if he was a light and breezy two girls all the time, he couldn't help frowning.

When mages go head-to-head, the easiest way to obtain information is naturally the ability to "identify spells".

Only when you know the opponent's spell can you calmly deal with it.

The premise of spell identification is to hear the opponent's spell and see the opponent's spell casting action.

In this way, even if you don't know the spell cast by the other party, it is still possible to rely on the skill of "spell recognition" to get feedback on the source of magic, so as to know what spell the other party casts.

However, there are several prerequisites that need to be met to obtain the skill ability of "Disguise Cast".

Focus Level 1, Spell Recognition Level 1, Hand Kung Fu Level 5.

The first two Zhao Xu have already been at level 5 and full level, and now that he has become a level 3 person, he can still upgrade the first two to level 6.

Just the kung fu in hand made Zhao Xu and even Esvic and Wang Ningwei more tormented.

The easiest way to show the ability of kung fu is to hide a coin by relying on the flower work in hand.

No matter how difficult it is, this is the ability to steal.

Most of the homeless people who perform tricks on the street have one or two levels of kung fu skills.

And every wanderer who aspires to become a master of theft will mostly strive to improve this skill.

Although the players and even the residents of Arthur spurn the theft, it is true that in some extreme missions, having a wanderer with advanced kung fu skills can indeed be much more effective with half the effort.

It's just that the skill of kung fu in hand is not the original skill of non-teachers and dossier scholars, and Zhao Xu wants to spend skill points to increase by level 5, and he has to invest a full 10 points.

This also indicates that it will be a long-term task to obtain the "Disguise Spell" technique.

When Zhao Xu's kung fu reaches level 5, he can probably disguise the spell casting action as an ordinary action.

That way, no one can see through him casting spells.

If he could still hide the sound of the spell, then every time Zhao Xu cast a spell, it would be like a surprise attack.

This is also where the strategic value of the ability to "disguise spell casting" lies.

And Lei An didn't expect the three of them to show him a miracle on the spot, and directly showed such a hand.

These three players with zero level kung fu in their hands, even if they are gods, must have 10 skill points to spare.

Zhao Xu was promoted to level 3 before he regained the upgraded skill point reward - 3 points from intelligence adjustment and 1 point from humans.

At the same time, he can also receive professional rewards, but this will not be obtained until he is officially promoted, including 4 points for the Dossier Scholar.

Zhao Xu and the three of them were also bombarded by Lei An, forcibly memorized a series of tricks of "disguise casting", and signed a contract to promise not to reveal all the content in the "Real Illusion", and then they were driven away by Lei An.

Even Zhao Xu asked him what to do if he forgot it, Lei An just asked him to go back and ask the two girls.

When Zhao Xu and the three of them came to the eighth floor, they staggered the time and went up by alchemy elevator.

This time, the three of them went down together on the alchemy elevator.

After an adventure in the Forest of Fantasy Whispers, the three of them finally felt a little more like a partner.

"How does it feel to be number one among the players?" Eswig asked after pressing the button on the first layer.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The box of memory was opened at once, and countless pieces of information flashed through my mind.

Unconsciously, he crossed the first echelon and went straight to the top.

Among the players, the only ones with the highest level are those level 2 fighters. It is said that they are almost at level 3, but they haven't reached it after all.

Even if a team organization deliberately spends a huge amount of resources, it can't smash people to level 3 now and get the honorary title of the first player.

And on the forum, no one in all the Arthur discussion groups knew that there were currently level 2 mages.

As for level 3 mages, it's even more fantastical.

Once the news of Zhao Xu becoming a level 3 mage is revealed, some mage players who have been stuck for a long time may have the intention of smashing the window glass of the TC house on the spot.

"I really can't see that you have this kind of temperament." Esvi looked at Zhao Xu, who was a little in a daze, and shook his head.

"What temperament?" Zhao Xu didn't react.

"The temperament of a king." Eswig said, "Isn't this kind of first person very domineering?"

Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head, he didn't expect that Eswig, who looked very smart and steady, would actually have this kind of childish mentality.

The real king in the future is the one next to him.

When everyone gets the real attributes and those real abilities after a year, that's the beginning of a really different life.

At that time, Zhao Xu really became a high-intelligence mage.

"No, Mr. Midsummer is still very reliable." Wang Ningwei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Eswig, you are also very reliable." ”

At this time, the alchemy elevator finally slowly reached the first floor, the steel gate slowly opened, and the sunshine of hope fell on the green faces of the three people again.

Zhao Xu looked at the tallest obelisk in front of him.

Level 2 spell, he's coming.
