At this moment, when Zhao Xu walked close to the dilapidated building, within nearly 20 meters, he began to take out a copy of the goddess's teachings in his backpack.

The few people behind him thought that he wanted to look through the teachings, clarify what was in his thoughts, and even reprimand the evil that might exist in front of him, but they didn't ask out loud.

However, Zhao Xu took off his holy emblem, tightly attached it to the book, and then recited a sacred oath in the Heavenly Realm language.

Although Zheng Xinyun and Eliton could clearly hear the content of Zhao Xu's oath, as the oath full of rhythm and balance of vowels and consonants in the Celestial Language came into everyone's ears, the other dozen or so people also felt a harmonious atmosphere of relaxation throughout their bodies, as if the closer they got to Zhao Xu, the more they could understand.

In the end, when Zhao Xu finished reciting the oath, the spell combined in the oath was also completed simultaneously.

A torrent of divine energy erupted directly from the Holy Text, and then radiated through the worn Emblem.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to feel the light whisper of the goddess in their ears, and their ears were softened.

[Adventurer Midsummer, you cast the three-ring magic "Praise" (spell lasting), your attack, defense, and immunity get +3 luck bonus, duration: 24 hours (originally 1 round/level)]

"Huh?" Suddenly, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim.

Those cavalrymen who have not become warriors, although they do not have a character card system, do not know that they are blessed with spell status, but they can still feel the reinforcement they have received.

And Chuck, the captain of the guard who was born as a warrior, also saw a message on his panel, but he didn't understand the content of the spell, so he could only see the specific increase value.

"It's nothing, I just performed the magic of 'praise' on everyone." Zhao Xu explained, and by the way, he also told everyone about the ability to roughly bless.

The rest of the cavalry were still dazed, except for Lady Betty and Chuck in the team, who looked at the midsummer mage deeply.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Xinyun is not very clear about the concept of numerical values at the moment, and he also has an unbelievable look when he sees Eliton on the side.

At this time, Eliton was silent for a moment before explaining in a low voice: "The attack has been strengthened by 3 levels, which is equivalent to invisibly everyone carrying +3 magic weapons, except that there is no additional damage." And the exemption is raised by 3 levels, and it is worth a 9000 gold resistance cloak. ”

"There is also the 3rd order of defense, don't you understand, your previous chain armor is just 3rd order."

"What's more, it's stackable. Lucky bonus, with the blessing of the power of fate. However, if you don't have the same faith as Mr. Midsummer, it's only a 2-level upgrade, and only the goddess of common faith is a 3-order. ”

So "praise" is a very good missionary art, and Eliton does not dare to say it profanely.

As they got along for the past few days, Eliton also realized that Mr. Midsummer was probably actually a priest with a special channel to cast arcane arts.

Then I thought of the other party saying that he could make him a mage.

He suddenly understood.

The Mage Guild can't make an ordinary person a mage, but the Goddess of Magic can.

This kind of speculation also made him can't help but pound in his heart, and his heart is even more energetic for Zhao Xu's instructions.

At this time, Zhao Xu glanced back, and after confirming that everyone had received his divine blessings, he nodded.

Praise is a spell with a radius of 18 meters with him as the center of the circle, and this spell with a fixed distance with itself as the center of the circle also happens to be suitable for "spell durability".

What's even more exaggerated is that the enemies within the spell's area of effect will also be punished by the 3rd order in those three aspects, so that the two aspects of attack and defense will be a full 6th order at a time.

In fact, no one behind him could have imagined that the 'praise' of the three rings was only a wheel level because of the good bonus value it provided.

The duration is generally only a few tens of seconds.

Now it is Zhao Xu who uses "spell lasting" to extend the time to a full 24 hours, so that the intensity is directly off the table.

But the rest of their exclamations will have to wait until they go back to Mystra and talk to people later.

At this time, Zhao Xu did not stop, he directly cast another spell on himself.

[Adventurer Midsummer, you cast the three-ring "Dragon Skin Technique" (spell lasting) on yourself, gain a 5-level innate defense enhancement bonus, and gain 20 fire resistance, duration: 24 hours (original 10 minutes/level)]

Suddenly, his whole body was covered by the cloak and sacrificial robe, and a layer of "dragon scales" directly appeared.

This spell that mimicked the skin of the dragon had caused Zhao Xu's own defense bonus to soar to a full 26th level.

Tier 4 armor bonus (Mage armor).

Tier 4 shield bonus (Shield).

Tier 3 Holy Bonus (Praise).

Tier 5 Innate Defense Bonus (Dragon Skin).

Under the superposition of four spells that lasted for nearly a day, Zhao Xu was basically the top defensive ability among the current players in this day.

Even after upgrading and mastering the spell of the higher ring, Zhao Xu was able to continue to superimpose in terms of agility, deflection, insight, perception, and evasion.

Just to break into this mysterious dilapidated house, Zhao Xu made many preparations.

It's just that in fact, the mage battle itself is like this, and the whole body is full of status buffs before the battle, and in fact, the war is just a matter of moments.

Therefore, Zhao Xu, who stacked up a 26-level defense, with the star cloak and the energy suppression skin that limited damage, it was really difficult to have an accident in the face of the old ghost woman who challenged level 9.

In fact, Zhao Xu now also has the means to improve, so that his defense can surpass the old ghost woman's attack by a full 20 levels, so that the opponent can only play perfectly to have the possibility of attacking his gap.

It's just that he doesn't have unlimited potential points yet, and he is already a little distressed when he uses the "Dragon Skin Technique" of the three rings, so he naturally has to choose to give up other bonuses that have not improved much.

At this time, Zhao Xu glanced back at Chuck behind him, glanced at the two-handed giant sword that the other party was clenching in his hand at the moment, and said, "You try to stab me." ”

"Your Excellency?" Chuck, the captain of the guard, didn't understand a little, and couldn't help but look back at Mrs. Betty beside him.

"Isn't that right? Mr. Pastor. Mrs. Betty was worried.

Although Midsummer blessed everyone with this magic just now, Chuck also improved his attack, and when he swung his sword, the luck blessing caused by the spell would affect him, making him more able to attack from Zhao Xu's weak spot.

Eliton immediately frowned and said, "You just try, Team Leader Chuck, you can really pierce Mr.'s defense, he just needs to test the actual effect of the spell before going in." ”

He knew that Midsummer had just stacked mage armor and shield spells for them.

Hearing this, and seeing Midsummer's gaze, Chuck gritted his teeth and directly clenched the thick two-handed giant sword in his hand.

The attack ability is mysterious, in fact, it is the evaluation of everyone's offensive ability, the kind of ability that can see the bottom even if you swing the sword blindly.

With a general foundation like Chuck, you can only look at the specific performance (1-20 level performance), and the basic attack ability of the legendary warrior exceeds the 20 level, even if the performance is average, it can also casually penetrate the defense of ordinary people.

Chuck, who has received training as a warrior, although his own attack power is only 1 level, his arm strength is good, and after the blessing of 14 strength, his attack can be regarded as the best among the guards.

Only to hear the sound of a sword breaking through the air, through this wilderness, directly alarmed the nearby sparrows immediately spread their wings and left.

Even Mrs. Betty didn't expect Chuck to use this sword seriously, and she could see that the other party's sword was playing well.

Like a horned antelope, it can also directly attack Zhao Xu's lower ribs with a slight tricky angle.

Ordinary people are difficult to resist, and they can only rely on dodging to fight luck.

However, Zhao Xu did just stand unmoved.

This powerful sword just pressed against Zhao Xu's chest for a few minutes, and the volley was fixed in the air.

The cavalrymen who were shocked by the strength of this Midsummer Mage just now were all amazed by this Chuck, but they didn't expect the other party to be able to deter the Midsummer Mage with such a point-and-ending sword.

However, Chuck spoke up at this time, "Is this the power of spells?" ”

Hearing this, everyone noticed that at this time, Chuck's arms were bulging, and he was desperately resisting his giant sword to stab forward, but he couldn't get half an inch.

The sword trembled slightly, revealing how much strength Chuck had expended and how much helplessness he had.

"That's it." Zhao Xu said.

At this time, Chuck's greatsword also let go and fell to the ground, and his arms were still shaking, obviously too strong to contain it.

Chuck had heard of the earth-shattering power of spellcasters, and even he had seen the power of the scrolls in the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.

But in his opinion, the mages have made more powerful achievements in dimensions that they cannot reach.

But after all, he couldn't imagine that a spellcaster, without half a piece of armor on his body, and a sacrificial robe made it impossible for his greatsword to enter.

After a pause, Chuck also picked up his long sword again, and he finally understood why his wife had secretly found a letter of recommendation from the mage family and wanted to send the young master to the Floating City to learn magic.

Defeating opponents in the dimensions they are good at is what spellcasters are all about.

After verifying that the defensive mage in his body was indeed working normally, Zhao Xu turned around directly and officially walked into the dilapidated wilderness hut.

The dilapidated house's wooden gate was half burned out, barely leaning against the door frame, threatening to collapse at any moment.

After Chuck followed, according to Zhao Xu's signal, he raised his giant sword and slashed at the door frame, with a babbling sound, the shaft broke open, and the entire door fell to the ground.

There was no feedback from the room.

Zhao Xu took the lead in stepping forward, and at this time, everyone on guard behind him was carrying a light crossbow in their hands, constantly scanning and aiming in all directions.

Surprisingly, there were no windows in the house, and no light shone through, and darkness suddenly enveloped the team.

Zhao Xu tapped the top of the meter-long scepter in his hand.

Under the effect of the Zero Ring spell "Light Technique", his super magic scepter seemed to turn into a torch, and a soft light spread out, illuminating the surrounding area within six or seven meters.

Slowly, the others behind him also crowded in, also with torches in their hands, looking at the already desolate ground in the house.

The sofas and chairs in the living room are basically burned to the shelf, so scattered and scattered to the ground, and the hand-made wooden cabinets are burned out of shape.

"It just looks like an abandoned house that has been burned down." Chuck said when he saw this.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, the torches in everyone's hands directly lost their light, as if an invisible and deep darkness swallowed up.

"Hehehe, welcome to visit." A piercing and hoarse voice came, like scratching a blackboard with a fingernail in your ear.

"Ah, it's the old ghost woman!" Suddenly one of the horsemen couldn't help but shout, he already remembered the legend nearby.

"But that's it."

Zhao Xu smiled freely, and suddenly he shouted a mysterious password.

When all the companions in the audience heard this, although they couldn't understand it, they all felt as if they had insight into the weakness of the old ghost woman.

[Adventurer Midsummer, you use "Dark Knowledge (Tactical)" (Dossier Level 1 ability), and the knowledge (plane) test is passed. You and your companion get +3 Tier Attack Bonus, which increases damage by 3 for 1 minute]

On the basis of the original praise spell level 3, Chuck and the others immediately shouted in surprise: "It's another level 3 attack increase." ”

At this time, in everyone's minds, although they had never seen such a creature as the old ghost woman, they seemed to have been born with how to attack each other's weaknesses.

And the 6th level bonus is already the gap between a level 6 warrior and a civilian in terms of basic combat ability.

At this time, Zhao Xu reactivated another ability of his own.

[Adventurer Midsummer, if you use Knowledge Piety (Knowledge Field Replacement), and the Knowledge (Plane) check is passed, you will get a +2 attack reward, increasing damage by 2.] 】

In just an instant, Zhao Xu relied on this professional ability to raise himself to another level.

Combined, he has obtained a full 8th level of attack improvement, and the top is a +5 magic weapon and a half.

It is true that mages rarely need to hit the enemy with wooden sticks by themselves, but the mages themselves have a lot of ray spells, all of which need to aim at the enemy, so the attack power itself is also of some use to Zhao Xu.

And the old ghost woman hiding in the darkness snorted coldly at this time, and she felt that it would not be affected by the darkness when she had the darkness.

She seemed to have sensed that the biggest threat in the field was Zhao Xu, and directly raised her hand to release spells in his direction.

"Sleep!"

An extremely ordinary one-ring spell, the negative state can only make people fall asleep for 1 minute/level, and the aftermath of the spell spread two or three meters with Zhao Xu as the center.

At this time, his teammates were only close to Zhao Xu, as if he had a sense of security here, but he also happened to be covered by this "sleep technique" with a limited range of action.

In an instant, there were no less than ten sounds of falling to the ground behind Zhao Xu.

And Zhao Xu was not affected at all because he was a level 6 character who exceeded the limit of 4 life dice below the spell limit, so he was not affected at all.

But the others, especially the cavalrymen of ordinary quality, were basically overwhelmed by this move.

At this time, Zhao Xu was calm, he knew that this old ghost woman was probably not just the most basic template, and she was afraid that she had evolved additionally.

That's why the opponent's "sleep technique" has such power, directly crushing most of the combat power on their side.

Everyone seems to be asleep, and they can break the spell by shaking them one by one to wake up.

But at this moment, they just rely on a few people who are still standing, and they can't find time to do this at all!

This made Eliton on the side very anxious, he didn't know whether he should cooperate with the captain to attack the incoming enemy, or immediately go to wake up the cavalry behind him.

Zhao Xu was not nervous at all at the moment, and he suddenly let out a light cry like a rooster announcing the dawn.

The aftersound rippled, triggering people's hearts, and also shattering the sweet dream, directly waking up all the people who were sleeping.

Druid Zero Ring Magic "Dawn"!

An ordinary person would not prepare at all, and Zhao Xu had the opportunity to use a spell that he could only use by relying on his spontaneous spell casting ability.

At the same time, Zhao Xu had already prepared the second spell at this time, and he waved the bright light cluster of his palm to touch the body of "Zheng Xinyun" who was still standing.

"Second Ring Holy Magic - Radiant Armor."

Zheng Xinyun's original invisible armor was directly loaded with a more powerful layer of radiant armor. A protective glowing aura directly protected her.

At the same time, the armor itself also suddenly stimulated the power of the three-ring spell "Daylight Technique".

In an instant, the entire dilapidated room was completely illuminated as if it were day, and the sharp and intense light spread out in all directions, reaching every corner, dispelling the darkness that had been swallowed up completely.

The rooster crows and the world is white.
