Chapter 290: On the eve of the decisive battle
Faced with this scene, Zhao Xu instantly knew that his entire plan was about to be rewritten.
According to Wang Ningwei and Eswig, they were in a labyrinth at first, and suddenly one day they couldn't use magic items with a caster's level of more than level 5, and after the time and space changed, they arrived at this place, and even most of the magic items on their bodies were destroyed.
It was only after escaping all kinds of undead creatures that he entered this tower with a portal. The tower is off-limits, and few undead will approach it.
However, there are still undead creatures in the tower, and the upper layers are like this, although those skeletons and zombies are not of high level, they are not something that they can destroy by the new mages who have not mastered the spells of the second ring, mainly their scrolls have long been consumed in the previous battle.
On the one hand, zombies and skeletons are undead creatures that don't have any intelligence, and they can't be flexible, but this is also destined to only execute their plans, even if Wang Ningwei and Eswig can put forward any deal negotiation plan, the other party can't understand it, just like a cold machine.
"If it's just skeletons, zombies, and other undead creatures with no intelligence, I have the 'invisible magic orb' that masters the three rings to let us break through together." Zhao Xu said.
However, Eswig shook his head, "Every layer on it has a true vision effect, it's useless." ”
"According to what I received three hours ago, if you wait another three hours, the Guild will organize an assault led by a legendary mage. At that time, if we can reach the portal on the top floor and teleport out of the city, we will definitely be able to get out of it 100%. If we stay in this city, the battle will be tight at that time, and the legendary mages may not be able to take care of us, and it is estimated that there is a fifty percent chance that they will be able to escape. Wang Ningwei said the channel information she got in private.
Eswig thought that Zhao Xu didn't understand, and directly added an explanation: "Because the association knows that the 'Scavenger Mine' and the 'Land of the Sleeper' have suddenly fused with the two halves of the 'Land of the Sleeper'. The importance and urgency of the whole incident have been directly escalated. ”
Zhao Xu also nodded, this is reasonable.
Now that the "Land of the Sleepers" has appeared, and the Mage Guild has begun to brake with static, it will be too out of step with the times.
It's just that this means that two hours later, there will be a decisive battle, so fast that Zhao Xu is not ready for it.
He could only carry a trace of regret.
The many mysterious buildings outside the city, the true secret of the city established by the Grim Reaper, can only be explored later.
Zhao Xu didn't expect that he only came to this tower for a wider field of vision, and he actually ran into Wang Ningwei and Eswig, and there was a portal here, which was equivalent to him directly finding a shortcut to clear the customs.
Naturally, he could rely on the "undead characteristics" to go up to the top without barriers, but they didn't have the blessing of this divine power.
Even if Zhao Xu acted and pretended to be escorted, those skeletons would not admit this reason, and would only blindly cut down all the living creatures they saw.
After thinking clearly, Zhao Xu directly spread out his backpack and took out some blank scrolls from his pocket, as well as magic ink and quills.
He can't bring in magic scrolls, but he can bring magic scroll production tools.
Zhao Xu exhaled lightly, directly spread out the scroll, and then took a pen to transcribe the spell on it.
Wang Ningwei and Eswig looked at Zhao Xu's behavior at this moment, and they couldn't help but be in a daze, and they didn't understand each other's actions for a while.
"Is it still too late to transcribe the scroll?" Eswig asked, "Are you going to transcribe to us the spells that can only be cast on oneself?" ”
For a while, Wang Ningwei and Eswig looked at Zhao Xu, who was already engrossed, and probably understood.
Obviously, Zhao Xu has a way to deal with this situation, but I'm afraid that the other party's spell can only be used on himself.
Because copying scrolls is also consuming spell slots, it is better to cast spells directly on them.
Therefore, Zhao Xu could only transcribe the scroll and let them each hold the scroll and cast spells on themselves.
And Zhao Xu, who copied this scroll, fell into a state of distraction, and even he forgot that he was in a country where there were only undead creatures.
All the voices of the outside world were filtered by him, and everything fell silent at this moment.
However, the quill in his hand was indeed like a trickle, slowly channeling the magic energy in his mind to the scroll that was only 30 centimeters long.
Even if Wang Ningwei didn't turn on the detection magic or master the "secret vision" of the three rings, she felt that the pen in Zhao Xu's hand seemed to be glowing.
Time was slowly passing, until it was almost an hour later, the quill in Zhao Xu's hand directly completed the outline of the last stroke, and suddenly the magic energy converged in an instant, and the spell energy flow directly stabilized.
A second-level scroll that costs 150 gold coins is directly baked.
With just a second-ring spell slot and a material cost of 75 gold, the mages were able to convert it into a 150 gold level 2 scroll with a little more energy.
Scrolls are also one of Arthur's cheapest ways to cast spells, as long as they master the skills of practical magic devices, they can rely on scrolls to cast spells at any time.
It is even more convenient for spellcasters to use scrolls.
At this time, Zhao Xu directly handed the copied scroll to "Wang Ningwei", and hurriedly copied the second scroll.
"It's the immortal curtain of the Second Ring." Wang Ningwei couldn't help but sigh when she took the scroll in her hand at this time.
Then she told Eswig about the effect of the spell she had recognized.
And Eswig's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he looked at Zhao Xu with admiration, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I'm more like a mage than us." The moment he heard that the 'invisibility technique' was useless, he was able to react and use this 'necromancy' spell. True knowledge can break the invisible 'illusion', but it can't break the 'necromancy' spell, which is really ingenious. Because we're just wearing a layer of negative energy. ”
In the end, when Zhao Xu finished copying the second scroll, Zhao Xu took a piece of cloth and wiped his sweat, just now he spent a full two hours and forty minutes, just for these two "immortal veil" scrolls.
However, in the whole process of transcription, he copied it heartily, and the details of countless spells were re-mastered by him little by little in the process of transcribing.
Now let Zhao Xu deduce the structure of this spell out of thin air, he will not be clueless.
Next, after Zhao Xu gave a brief explanation, Wang Ningwei and Eswig also took the scroll in turn to cast the "Immortal Veil" spell.
Suddenly, their faces turned a little pale, as if they had lost their blood.
Feeling that the time was pressing, everyone also set off to climb the tower immediately.
The spell of "Immortal Veil", Zhao Xu once tested it in the "Corpse Square", and the undead creatures who basically have no intelligence cannot decipher the abnormality of this spell.
Each floor of the tower was guarded by skeletons and zombies, and even on the fifth floor, Zhao Xu saw the skeleton dragon, which was still full of five-colored dragons.
It's just that the moment they become skeletons, they have no brains, and naturally they don't have intelligence, so they can't judge that Zhao Xu and the others are actually living people, and they think they are the same undead creatures.
In this way, this original tenth-level team may not be able to successfully climb to the top of the tower, and was directly deceived by Zhao Xu's "Immortal Veil" spell, and did not encounter any obstacles from beginning to end.
In the end, all three of them reached the top of the tower, the top of the entire bell tower.
"The whole process was unbelievably fast." Eswig sighed with emotion, she didn't expect that the tower, which had been stuck for most of them, would be cleared all the way by a "Second Ring Spell" so easily.
"Actually, if we are a five-ring spellcaster, then we can use teleportation to leave, and the four-ring is enough to use any door to reach the top, and even risk using the three-ring flying spell outside. So this tower either doesn't have a portal, otherwise there are monsters on the floor, no matter how strong they are, it doesn't matter. Zhao Xu explained.
After all, Arthur's powerhouse is not a cabbage, but he will not deliberately set up a boss to guard the level in order to welcome adventurers who don't know when they will come.
Being able to arrange some skeletons without intelligence is already a minimum guarantee, at least it can intercept most of the Xiaoxiao who may infiltrate it.
At this time, Zhao Xu walked to the portal and couldn't help but take a deep look at the two-person-high door frame in front of him.
According to Wang Ningwei's newly obtained information, this door frame can be teleported to ten places in the city, and one of the locations is naturally outside the city.
Once there, return to the jurisdiction of the original half-plane of the "Scavenger Pit".
At that time, the legendary mage who was killed by the Grim Reaper, the will-wielder possessed by the half-plane, would arrange for them to leave, and they would even be able to meet the legendary mages who broke in.
"Well, according to the requirements of the association, we will wait here for another ten minutes now, and when the legendary mages break through to the half-plane, we can enter the portal." Wang Ningwei said, at this time she looked at the two people behind her and asked everyone's opinions.
Zhao Xu and Eswig both nodded in affirmation.
"I'm afraid these two planes will be locked down in the future." Eswig suddenly looked sad and looked back at the city under the tower, and the wind was howling in the air.
"Anyway, we can automatically bless the 'Iron Will' specialty when we go out, so it doesn't matter." Zhao Xu comforted.
At this time, time was pressing, Wang Ningwei also took out the mechanical pocket watch in her pocket, and in the case of losing all the magic items, only the product of this mechanical realm could continue to work.
“3。”
“2。”
“1。”
With Wang Ningwei's countdown, she walked directly into the portal and shouted at the same time, "Outside the city." ”
Eswig immediately followed, shouting the same: "Out of the city." ”
And Zhao Xu, who fell at the bottom of the bottom, smiled lightly, reached out to touch the constantly fluctuating mirror of the portal, and shouted-
"Temple."
