Chapter 321: Reaching Out to All Beings
The next morning, after Zhao Xu prepared the spell slot, he stood on the central street of Mystra, watching the flow of people in front of him.
At this time, he was dressed like a scholar, a cashmere coat with a high neck, his shirt and tie ironed properly, and a cane, which would have been perfect if he had a butler.
Zhao Xu's first stop was to go to the civilian college in Mystra to teach.
This specially arranged stop, Zhao Xu felt that there must be some secrets within the academy, so on the one hand, he would inquire about the information of Andy, and on the other hand, he would prepare for battle.
So for him, he will definitely not give up his defense for the sake of disguise, and he will not wear the cloak of stars.
He directly alternates between the "Transfiguration Technique" and the "Transformation Technique" to disguise himself. If he dressed as a mage to teach.
In terms of the status of the mage profession in Mystra, basically everyone is in awe of him. This way of visiting subordinates from superiors will make him see a lot of the truth less.
This also made Zhao Xu lose his original intention of in-depth contact with all strata.
When the bell tower of the church struck ten o'clock, players who had successfully logged into Arthur began to appear on the entire central street.
Many people carefully observed the surrounding environment and confirmed that it was the familiar Mistra when they disconnected, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
From the speculation post on the forum last night, when countless people were worried that he would land again, the entire Arthur's world line had changed drastically, and even years later.
And the native inhabitants of Mystra were not surprised to see these player projections that suddenly appeared. At best, it feels like it's more neat and ready to appear together today.
Zhao Xu, who was watching with a cane at this time, also heard the discussion of the player who appeared next to him in the projection.
"It's okay, it's still the familiar Mistra." A priest player patted his chest in rejoicing as he prayed to the Sacred Heart Church in the center of the city, as if it had become his instinct in the game.
And another female wanderer player who was familiar with the priest, in this town where ninety percent of the goddesses were believed, didn't dare to make fun of whether the other party was so pious offline, and asked excitedly: "You said that the online player, is it possible that he is in Mystra?" ”
Online?
When Zhao Xu heard this term for a while, he immediately reacted.
Because I met Zheng Xinyun last night, I was in a hurry to log in and go online, so I forgot that the upper level of the login interface of Arthur's game will display the number of people currently online.
In that case, he was the only one in the world, and naturally attracted countless attentions.
But Zhao Xu didn't care much about it, as long as he didn't come out and admit this kind of thing, no one could say death.
The Priest player was unimpressed by his companion's statement, "A warrior who excavates the location of the Lich's lifebox may be able to perform a miracle and successfully destroy the Lich." ”
"But the Mage Guild and the Church of the Gods, there are too many heads above, and there is no possibility of miracles for the people below."
The implication of the Priest player is that the person online can't be a mage or a priest at all.
This inference suddenly made the female player a little stunned, and she didn't expect her companion to see it so thoroughly, "Brother Ji, I didn't see this kind of statement on the forum, you thought it yourself." ”
The priest shook his head modestly, "Although I thought about it, after seeing the power of the Mage Guild and the Church of the Gods, as long as you are a spellcaster, you will know this, but you didn't say it explicitly last night." That's why the later statement that the player is Dongcheng Aya ended up in such a hurry. ”
And Zhao Xu, who is the protagonist of the other party's discussion, is also a little embarrassed.
The only player online, who was really a mage, happened to be standing in front of them.
At this time, most of the countless gamers who have successfully logged in are also discussing this matter, as long as Zhao Xu is close to the player at this time, he will basically hear similar topics.
And the few words of communication between the two also made Zhao Xu outline the competition of last night's forum, he directly reached out to stop a rickshaw, sat on it and explained the destination of his trip.
Zhao Xu knew that the priest was right, a legendary warrior was stronger than a level 1 warrior, and the quantifiable existence of attack, life, and combat expertise was just more "able to fight".
However, compared to a level 1 mage, a legendary mage is a magical civilization that has been stronger for a whole era, and it is strong enough to turn the impossible into a possibility, so there will be no loophole that can change history for the other party to exploit.
The two players were not too surprised to see a scholar with a cane and an aristocratic atmosphere sitting in the carriage, and continued to talk about their opinions.
Horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws have always been the middle and high-end travel modes in every town. It's just that most people in towns and cities choose to walk, and only when they travel in the wild will they be forced to choose horse-drawn carriages.
Therefore, many of the people who were able to choose horse-drawn carriages to travel in the city were wealthy merchants and aristocrats whose families hired horsemen to bear the cost of carriages.
For middle- and upper-class people whose families are not able to afford horse-drawn carriages, they will adopt the method of renting horse-drawn carriages. As for those who are more embarrassed and don't want to walk like mud legs, they will hire rickshaws like Zhao Xu.
In the end, after spending more than 20 minutes, Zhao Xu arrived at the destination civilian college under the vigorous walking of the rickshaw driver.
"Good work." Zhao Xu saw that the driver was out of breath when he ran away, and kept wiping the sweat droplets on his forehead with a towel.
He handed over two copper coins, one higher than the usual market price.
Because he knows that these are actually living people.
And the coachman was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Xu's fare, and this excess income could improve his family's food tonight. After the coachman got the copper coin, he kept bowing to Zhao Xu and shouting thank you, sir.
It's just that when Zhao Xu was about to turn around and leave, the other party stared at him a few times from time to time.
"What's wrong?" At this time, Zhao Xu used his "super-hair instantaneous scepter" as a cane, and he was bent on acting as a scholar who was born in nobility but could not inherit the title, and could only take the civil route of the affairs officer.
Seeing the coachman's clear gaze, he thought that there was a flaw in him, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
And the coachman was asked by Zhao Xu, and he was immediately ashamed, thinking that he had offended the other party, and quickly explained: "No, no, dear sir, I just don't think you are like those nobles outside." ”
"How do you tell?" Zhao Xu didn't expect that he would reveal a flaw before he entered the door.
"Your eyes don't look at us like the contempt of those aristocratic lords for their subordinates, nor the compassion of university scholars, but more like colleagues who look at different jobs." The coachman spoke, as if sensing that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
When Zhao Xu heard this, he also came to his senses and said, "Thank you for the reminder." It is no wonder that the sages once said that by referring to the words and deeds of others, one must find out what one can learn from. ”
The other party's words just now made him wake up, and even the dusty mark loosened a little.
He did get the habits of the earth into Arthur's world, which at some point would become a hindrance and a help.
Zhao Xu immediately handed over a marked silver coin as a reward.
He gave a daughter but would only harm the other party, so Zhao Xu chose a certain balance.
However, even if it was an insignificant coin for Zhao Xu, it still made the coachman startled, and he didn't dare to take it for a moment.
However, Zhao Xu exercised his skills for a long time, and with a flick of his hand, he flicked the silver coin into the opponent's pocket.
Then he turned around and walked towards the gate of the civilian college, but he had a kind face, but his expression at this time had a different temperament.
At first glance, it seems very contradictory, with a sense of warmth like a friend who has known each other for many years, and a sense of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.
It's like the charm of the gods in the world.
After Zhao Xu made some registration in the gatehouse of the civilian college, he followed the staff of the college directly to the dean's office.
As an important talent reserve institution in the Mistra civil service system, the civil service college has a good position in itself. Many "trainee" spellcasters who had no hope of becoming full-fledged mages and priests were placed to study at civilian academies before transitioning into the bureaucracy.
The entire civilian college occupies a large area in Mystra, where every inch of land is valuable, and in addition to more than ten buildings, there is also a large auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people. Many times the town hall next to it will come here to borrow this large auditorium.
After Zhao Xu spent ten minutes, he was taken to the dean's office and met the top leader of the current academy.
Slightly unexpected, the dean of the civilian college was about forty or fifty years old, just in the prime of life. The other party's face is resolute, looking very much like that kind of person with a firm heart, and the mustache on the corner of his mouth also looks like a little precipitation of time.
However, what Zhao Xu cared about was that what was pinned to the other party's chest was a badge with three concentric circles, that is, the other party and him were also a three-ring mage
used to be the executive officer of the Mage Guild in Crescent Town, which was just a "mage apprentice".
The dean of this academy is so oversized that he needs a three-ring mage to replace him, which also makes Zhao Xu feel that this academy is probably not as simple as it seems.
After seeing Zhao Xu, Dean Muller didn't seem to know Zhao Xu's true identity, and after a brief introduction and a few polite words to Zhao Xu, he handed Zhao Xu a whole stack of heavy information.
"Mr. Midsummer, the class you will be in charge of at this time has a total of thirty people, twenty-five are from Arthur, and five are players from Earth."
"It's a tricky class." Watching Zhao Xu take over the pile of three-fist thick intelligence, Dean Mueller showed a meaningful smile.
