Chapter 207: The Land of Divine Punishment (1/3)
Ever since Zhao Xu boarded Mystra's Legendary Library, he had spent most of his evenings there.
In the hotel room, he took the holy water and sprinkled six drops on the four corners of the bed in the form of an evening prayer according to the method taught by Ling Luduo in the library.
Then he took out a specially customized cover from his backpack, and the front and back of the cover were painted with pen and ink all over the ritual circle.
Then Zhao Xu took a mint-flavored sugar tablet in his mouth, pillowed his head with three borrowed magic books, smelled the faint aroma of paper and ink emitted by the incense stove at the foot of the bed, and slowly fell asleep on the bed.
By the time Zhao Xu woke up, he had completed the ritual and his soul had wandered into the "Legendary Library" in the Floating City.
This ritual consumes very little "holy water", mainly the special mint lozenge, which can stimulate the spirit in his brain, and Zhao Xu has dozens of pieces in his hand, each of which is equivalent to a ticket for the soul to be teleported to the "Legendary Library".
And on the cover of the ritual circle that could be reused, every seven or eight times, he had to re-infuse his own spirituality and copy it himself with special materials.
Therefore, every time Zhao Xu arrived at this legendary library, it was a costly thing.
Only in the future will he be able to reach here with a single spell after he has the High Ring Spell.
Recently, Zhao Xu came to the library, and Lu Duo, who looked like a little girl, kept stepping on the bench, taking down those magic books one by one and wiping them clean, and she was humming songs and doing it happily.
"You seem happy?" Lu Duo was holding a copy of "Dragon War" at this time, and when she was about to stuff it back, she couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhao Xu's expression.
"Nope." Zhao Xu walked to a bookshelf that he hadn't finished reading before.
"I just found that the seed I inadvertently sowed actually bloomed one day, and I naturally looked forward to it growing strongly."
When Zhao Xu posted the first post on the forum, he didn't expect to post a second one.
In his thinking, he tends to let players trade resurrection stones for experience.
Say it a thousand times, it's better to die once.
This is Arthur's hardest truth, in fact, Zhao Xu's post is, at best, to educate some smart and clever people, and most of the remaining pits that should be stepped on will not fall.
It's just that he didn't expect that with just a few posts, he would become Cui Lu's object of worship.
Before the worship of others, Zhao Xu knew that most of them had a plan, and they wanted to deal with him more to get more information.
So he didn't agree to any of the entire row of studio applications in the friend application.
But Cui Lu is a person who knows the roots, and the other party is not the kind of green tea that deliberately takes advantage of others and deliberately clings to it.
This also means that she simply appreciates the few posts shared by Zhao Xu.
This made Zhao Xu always feel a sense of relief in his heart that his efforts were not in vain.
After all, these days, there are too many people who have to beat up after eating and wiping up.
Zhao Xu, who had dealt with several cases of dividing family property in his previous life, was even more aware of this.
And more importantly, he needs to have a channel to influence Cui Lu.
In this way, in the battle of "Falling Star Lake" that will break out in the coming week, Cui Lu can play a role and narrow the time for accumulation.
also pulled Zhang Qi out of the whirlpool of death by the way.
"Hey, Midsummer, why don't you continue reading that book of Teleportation Rituals?"
Lu Duo saw that Zhao Xu actually stuffed the classic book in his hand back into the bookshelf, and couldn't help but be curious, it stands to reason that the other party can't finish reading that magic book in four or five days.
This is also the embodiment period she set for the other party.
Zhao Xu was able to take out the books in the "Legendary Library" on Arthur's main material plane.
It was by currying favor with Ludo that he obtained the permission to manifest the magic book from the other party, allowing him to do the same in Arthur's world
Basically, when his soul wakes up, the few books he chooses to borrow will appear with him, and they will automatically disappear once they expire.
According to Lu Duo's request, Zhao Xu can borrow up to three books at a time, and if it doesn't expire, he has to sleep with those classics in the ceremony, bring them back and return them, and form a destruction.
So Lu Duo was very curious, and Zhao Xu actually gave up the three classics at once.
One of the classics about high-level devils was borrowed by the other party only last night.
Her gaze followed Zhao Xu's figure to a bookshelf, and finally landed on the book that Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to.
She was immediately annoyed and said, "Hey, Midsummer, you are cheating, how can you deliberately come to read the answer before the test." ”
"How can things between scholars be called cheating."
Zhao Xu perfunctorily questioned Lu Duo and took down the classic book "Arthur's Hundred Attached Half-Plane Secret Realm Details", which was as thick as two fists wide.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, he already knew that Lu Duo, who looked at the short dun, was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and he would not really be serious with him.
Most of the stalwarts mages in Floating City, that is, the "mentors" who serve as researchers and teachers, are eager to queue up smoothly to the half-dimensional secret realm of the "Scavenger Beast Cave".
The specialty of free delivery is definitely a good deal for Arthury.
Even with the mage's professional ability, a full level 20 will only get 4 super magic specialties, and it can only be obtained once every level 5, which is too long.
It's just that when they accumulate enough merits to rank up, they will find that the only information for the target is the simple name of "Scavenger Cave".
Even, this is not necessarily the correct reference.
This half-plane allows people who can challenge successful people in it and get rewarded with the Iron Will specialty, which is crazy enough.
It was also kept a secret from then on, and all news was sealed off by the Floating City.
Since then, it has not been left in words, and even the memories in my mind are slowly fading.
Zhao Xu read the book "Detail of the Half-Plane Secret Realm" in his hand at this moment, and looked at this secret story and suddenly sighed.
No wonder he had never heard of such a magical existence in his previous life.
Because the secret itself is affected by magic, trying to erase it from the human mind.
It's not that the half-plane is worth a lot and what secret treasures it holds, but that it has a characteristic - no more than five.
As long as more than five people enter, the half-plane itself will be infested and lose its power for a year and a half.
In order to prevent any mage from hearing about its legend, it will teleport at every turn or enter through other channels, causing the secret realm to become invalid.
Therefore, Mystra simply started from the source, relying on the power of legendary spells to slowly cover up the truth of the existence of this half-plane.
In the end, the forces that know the existence of this half-plane will also get a quota every year.
Seeing the hint that this matter was only five years old, Zhao Xu also understood why only three people were allowed to enter at a time, and the remaining one place was naturally reserved for the staff who went in to save it.
This half-plane, the interior is almost out of the grasp of the floating city.
The kind that will kill people.
In other words, if the Floating City dares to intervene, the participants will naturally not be able to get the real trial, and thus will not be able to awaken the true expertise.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as Lux came out of the temple, she began to fall into a deep sleep, and it would take more than a week for her to recover from the overdraft she had fought against the "Hellpuritude".
He won't be able to borrow it for a while.
He continued to squat, flipping through the details of the half-plane.
This is also the reason why Ludo has just accused him of sneaking away early.
Under the premise that no one could obtain the inside story of that half plane, Zhao Xu opened the permission to access the materials here in the "Legend Library".
However, Zhao Xu also has too many things, and then he has to find the "third notebook", pay attention to the "Battle of Falling Star Lake", and search for the relics brought back by Andy's ancestors.
As a bronze-level time manager, he had no choice but to compress the adventure time of the "Scavenging Beast Cave".
But even so, he was much more comfortable than the new mage, most of whom were still honestly interpreting spells and transcribing spells.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu found that most of the back content of the classic was directly missing, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Duo, suspecting that the other party was doing something.
"Don't look at me." Then Rudo tilted her head to the side contemptuously, "You see that there is already the limit. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xu also closed the book in his hand.
Anyway, he got the basic information, and at least it would be a good loss to spend a special mint lozenge to get here.
Zhao Xu was not stupid enough to argue with Lu Duo.
He knew that this was a screening test for Wang Ningwei and Eswig, but not for him.
The association hopes that he will successfully obtain this "iron will" specialty.
However, neither Antinoya nor Ryan told him the details of the pit.
You must know that Ryan was clearly going to cheat on him in the Forest of Tricks before, but he was just intervened by a mysterious external force.
And now, even the dew in front of him stopped him from looking.
This shows that knowing the details of the entire "Scavenging Beast Cave" is not conducive to his awakening.
This also made Zhao Xu constantly raise the alert level of that half plane.
Whether it was the description of the risk of death recorded in the texts at the beginning, or the fact that he found that the Guild didn't seem to be able to exert much force on that half-plane.
All of this shows that the half-plane is not so simple.
"Midsummer, a hint for you."
At this time, Lu Duo seemed to cover up the following text, and was a little afraid that Zhao Xu would be angry with her, so she was a little reluctant to go, and hurriedly explained: "It was the 'torture place' before the god of death became a god." ”
"Boom-"
[Adventurer Midsummer, you came into contact with the "Secret of God" and fell into a state of deafness for 3 rounds (18 seconds)]
In an instant, the world fell into peace.
