Chapter 303: A Spell to Break the Game
After two months of contact with NPCs, players already know that dealing with NPCs can indeed trigger "quests".
However, this kind of "mission" is the same as the "mission" that the players themselves orally entrust, and there is no mandatory requirement of the system, and there will be no pop-up box asking "Do you accept this old man's commission to find his granddaughter" or something like that.
Therefore, players have not been less deceived by the cunning and sinister Arthur NPCs.
The complaint post about this has also become a Nikkei post on the forum.
After this period of education, players have also summed up their own experience, and the higher the level of the position and the tendency of their own faction to be orderly or kind, most of them will not rely on the task rewards.
Therefore, the members of the Adventurer's Guild saw the Tempest Mage in front of them revealing their official identity, and for a while they all had a certain sense of involvement in Arthur's crucial history.
The former Falling Star Lake has made the players of Winter City still boast to this day. Because they changed history. In the game, the future Winter City and the local history of Falling Star Town will record everything that happened that day.
Even the statue of the goddess of magic, the "Mystic Priest", who wields many magical spells, and the player's "Starry Sky Reflection", have been erected in Starfall.
At this time, after hearing this, the few people who came down together all looked at Zhao Xu with their eyes, waiting for his next assignment.
As the leader, Frost Sword is one of the few players present who has dealt with the official Mistra.
He was well aware of the place of the "Rosicrucius" in the violent sector of the city of Mystra.
At this time, seeing that Zhao Xu had issued a certificate, he did not have the slightest doubt, and said directly with respect: "Mr. Hurricane, if necessary, we will cooperate with your actions." β
Zhao Xu said politely, "No, it's me who bothered you." This is mainly a few clues that remind me of a case involving the devil, and I forgive you for confidentiality reasons that I cannot disclose to you in detail. I just hope to have your help when necessary. β
Listening to Zhao Xu's explanation, Frost Sword also relaxed, although he knew that the reputation of the "Rose Cross" was good, and it was unlikely that he would use his power to oppress them.
But at this time, he heard that Zhao Xu had just stumbled upon the clue, and he had already reacted that the so-called clue was the surname "Erol", which also made him half happy and half worried.
And Zhao Xu did not lie, the seven notebooks themselves are also related to the devil's bloodline incident of the Andy family, and he also took a preventive shot in advance at this time to avoid a change in the ownership of the handwriting.
At this time, the mage Chen Nuo asked suspiciously, "Mr. Hurricane, why is that trap missing?" β
Zhao Xu thought without hesitation: "This is the effect of the second ring spell 'Phantom Trap'. The only purpose of this spell is to mislead people into thinking that there is a trap on a lock or mechanism. β
"If you search for a trap or use a trap detection spell, you'll think there's a trap there. This spell can be applied from door lock hinges, window clasps, corks, closure covers, and ratchets. In reality, the illusion itself has no power, and is simply delaying the loitering to crack it. β
Frost Sword slapped his head suddenly: "I see." "It's as if he's the one who asks the question.
If Zhao Xu didn't know this, they were in this secret room, who would dare to touch the mechanism without permission.
Even the Frost Sword can't afford to take this responsibility.
There have been too many examples on the forums of players who accidentally touched the trap and were locked up in a secret room, only to be able to resurrect by suicide.
Everyone present listened carefully to Zhao Xu's explanation, which was an adventurous experience in itself.
"But Mr. Tempest, you didn't just cast a spell to dispel illusions." Chen Nuo was still confused.
Zhao Xu smiled, "This is a new improvement of the spell in recent years, if you re-release a 'Phantom Trap' within 15 meters, then it can replace the original spell." So seeing that the trap on the original door lock disappeared after I cast the spell, I dared to conclude that. β
In fact, Zhao Xu couldn't use the "True Knowledge Technique", so naturally he didn't dare to say 100% that the trap was fake.
The intelligence of the mages themselves makes the traps they lay extremely cunning, often taking into account all kinds of human reactions and then targeting.
Once Zhao Xu encountered Master Ryan's "Spell Turret" in the dungeon, and the other party arranged a trapdoor trap so that they could not retreat.
After getting Zhao Xu's answer, the two wanderers also stepped forward at this time, took out the thin wire hooks in their backpacks, and used the "Disarming Device" skill to unlock the door.
At this time, Frost Sword had already let go of his worries, but seeing that Chen Nuo was still frowning, he quietly walked over to the other party and whispered, "Is there anything else strange?" β
Chen Nuo, on the other hand, said cautiously, "President, what do you think of the use of the 'Phantom Trap' spell?" β
When Frost Sword heard this, he almost laughed out loud, "This is completely unpopular, I didn't expect that the Wind Mage would be able to get rid of it with the right medicine." Look at the eyes of everyone looking at him now, and they have directly replaced you as our strongest spell advisor. β
Originally, everyone thought that Zhao Xu only had powerful magic equipment, and they didn't dare to despise it.
But the other party actually knew the low-ring spell by heart, obviously it was not just a second-generation law, and naturally no one dared to despise his spell skills.
The next opinion he expressed on spells, even if Chen Nuo was the opposite, everyone would listen to Zhao Xu.
Chen Nuo continued: "President, so put it on you, will you prepare this kind of unpopular spell?" That's the second ring, not the zero ring. β
Frost Sword suddenly felt an awe-inspiring chill all over his body, and looked at Zhao Xu's back with an unbelievable gaze, not knowing where the other party was for a while.
Then the stone door was slowly pushed open, and inside was a more spacious hall, boxy and empty.
The hall is about four meters high, and it covers an extremely large area, and it may not be possible to reach the opposite side if you run fast for five or six seconds. The walls and floors are made of the same blue bricks and stones, and the gaps are completely filled with cement, so you can't see the slightest gap or abnormality.
Everyone slowly walked into the hall, and they couldn't help but look around, but they couldn't see any strange traces. This kind of room with the exact same layout, as if it was copied and pasted, will greatly blur everyone's attention.
"I'll search for it with the Detection Secret Door Spell first." Mage Chen Nuo said at this time, and at the same time, the two wanderers also went down to use their search skills to find clues in the field.
Zhao Xu glanced at Chen Nuo, thinking that this spell was probably also prepared and learned by the other party in advance for this reason.
Counting the day it took for the mage to learn spells, and the guild had waited for a whole day to release the task, the frost sword had at least two or three days to get the map.
It also means that the enemy may have been preparing for two or three days.
The frost sword was previously in Mystra City, with the guard of the spell guard and the seat of the Church of the Goddess, and ordinary people did not dare to do it without permission.
Then everyone began to get off the field, using their own half-bucket water search skills to retrieve, mainly because the area of the entire field was too large to be sustained by just two wanderers.
Zhao Xu did not delay, and also used the "Detect the Secret Gate" spell.
And this time, Chen Nuo didn't suspect that he was casting spells, a mage was going to the mage tower to explore, and it was normal to prepare to detect the secret door spell.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's eyes faintly flashed with lightning, as if his eyes directly emitted a cone-shaped invisible light with a radius of 20 meters, and in an instant, mysterious spell energy directly filled the area in front of him.
"Detect the Secret Door" is a minute-level spell, and it also requires "focus", meaning that he cannot cast other spells in the process.
Zhao Xu, who opened the alternative "Secret Door Induction Flashlight", was basically able to determine whether there was a secret door in front of him in the first round.
Then the second round will be able to determine the exact number of secret doors. If he exists, he will be able to parse the condition of a secret door in each subsequent round.
That's how he judged in that dungeon that there was a secret door behind the demon altar, otherwise they wouldn't be able to search for the trap on the altar at that time.
At this time, Zhao Xu directly switched an area every round (6 seconds), basically, any secret door, secret room, and cellar would have nothing to hide under the illumination of this spell.
This is also a powerful effect of prophecy detection spells.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu stopped and stared straight ahead in the process of looking around.
At the beginning of the adventurous tactical deduction, several other people who had heard Chen Nuo explain the principles of the spell understood that Zhao Xu had gained something, and immediately shifted their attention to the area in front of him that he was looking at.
After a while, Zhao Xu raised his hand, pointed to a floor in the corner of the front hall five meters away, and said, "Here." β
The two wanderers hurriedly stepped forward and lay on the floor tiles that Zhao Xu pointed to, and then they gently tapped the ground, and then carefully checked the ground around them, but shook their heads, "No response?" Didn't see any gaps in the doors? β
At this time, Chen Nuo also searched here, and said the same: "I also saw it, there is a door, it should be a cellar." β
It's just that after opening the information feedback, his whole person showed a look of embarrassment, "You have to use the blood of the Errol family's blood relatives to drip on it to remove the seal." Otherwiseβ"
"What's wrong with that?" Frost Sword said nervously at the moment.
The descendants of the previous Errol had long since died and were buried on the spot, and there was still blood to collect.
"This brick surface has applied induction magic, and only the blood of the family can shield it. It's not that you can't break the bricks with brute force, but once the dismantling force is unbalanced, the mechanism above will be opened, and then the deep well we came down will fall and seal. Chen Nuoyu was stunned, and said the feedback given to him by the detection spell.
For a while, everyone who heard this sentence felt extremely tricky.
Frost Sword didn't expect that there would be such a magical magic, if the entire floor tile is not destroyed with even strength, it will directly trigger the trap.
A wanderer who has worked on the project said: "If you were on Earth, you could use percussion drilling to evenly crush it." β
"Don't be stupid, there really is, you can't move the well down in this place." Another player retorted.
Frost Sword, on the other hand, let out a deep sigh and frowning at this scene, obviously that mage had eliminated the possibility of them forcibly smashing the ground with a heavy hammer.
"Is there any spell that can be done?" The poet Colu asked, who was also a skilled player.
"No, I heard that your mages don't have a very famous set of routine spells 'Fossil to Mud'?" One of the fighters asked.
"It's a five-ring spell, and it can only work on natural stones, it's a stone with magic, it doesn't work." Chen Nuo said helplessly.
Hearing this, everyone understood that this might not even be able to solve the Tempest Mage behind him.
And Zhao Xu had a bit of a headache.
He didn't have a headache how to crack this trap, but a headache, and when he took out the spell and solved the problem directly, how could he explain to everyone that he would deliberately prepare this extremely unpopular non-core spell?
Zhao Xu could only sigh, if players from the outside world knew that there was a way to cast spells at will, then the mage profession would probably go crazy.
