Chapter Eighty-Eight: Lifting the Magic
The staff in Zhao Xu's hand was nearly a meter long, made of the core of an ancient oak tree, and the head was inlaid with a yellow crystal stone.
At this time, Zhao Xu's appearance is not far from the mages in fantasy books that everyone imagined.
A staff is a type of magic item that stores several spells, and each time a spell is cast, it consumes one or several rounds of energy from the staff, and generally a brand new staff is 50 rounds of energy.
Another magical item, the wand, is usually 30 centimeters long, about the same size as the wizards in Harry Potter.
The wand only has 50 rounds of energy, but it only consumes 1 shot of energy per spell.
The difference between wands and wands is that each wand can only store one spell, and only spells of level 4 and below.
And the staff will not be restricted by fourth-level spells, like the protective staff in Zhao Xu's hand, it can use shield spells (first-level spells/1 energy), resistance to energy damage (second-level/1 shot), disarming magic (third-level/1 shot), secondary spell invalid enchantment (fourth-level/2 shots), expulsion (fourth-level/2 shots), and in-living object shield (sixth/3 shots).
According to the price of 65000GP, basically 1 round of energy is 1300GP, even if Zhao Xu uses it, his heart will have to drip blood.
Today he was going to use the "Disarm Magic" spell in the staff, which could be used to suppress magic traps.
If he uses a magic wand, a disarming magic wand costs 11250GP50 rounds, and it only costs 225GP for one round, which is much more cost-effective.
Zhao Xu turned around and charged Luo Ya, and he didn't expect 1300GP, after all, he also had the need to risk extra points, and then he would get a discount.
Speaking of which, he wanted to go inside and explore it more, and the hole cards were used, and destroying the demon's lair was more valuable to Antinoja than driving away the ghosts.
When facing the druid before, Zhao Xu took out his staff at that time, and he was about to cast a "resist energy damage" spell on himself to absorb damage for him.
If he reaches level 3 and can cast a second-level spell, he can also release the spell "Resistance to Energy Damage".
It's just that his caster's level is too low, and he can only absorb 10 points of damage when he casts this spell, and his health is not enough for a lightning strike.
But if he casts a spell with a protective staff, the caster level is at least 13 with the lowest caster level of the staff, which means that he can absorb 30 damage, which is enough for him to take one or two lightning strikes unscathed.
This is the huge advantage of the staff for a low-level spellcaster like Zhao Xu.
However, when Antinoa gave him the staff, he didn't tell him how much energy was left in it.
While risking with his staff, he can't estimate how much energy he has left, which is also a test for him.
"What is this one?" Luo Ya had seen the world, but most of the wands he had seen were small, and he had never seen such a staff that was nearly a meter long.
"Magic items." Zhao Xu said simply, "It can be used to disarm magic traps." ”
Then Zhao Xu told the two wanderers the way to open the secret door, once he suppressed the energy of the magic trap, they had to hurry up and open the secret door.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu directly picked up the staff in his hand and made a spell casting action towards the magic trap in front of him.
Suddenly, three types of effects for disarming magic popped up in his mind: "Target Type", "Area Type", and "Counter Spell Type".
Zhao Xu, who knew a little about the principle of magic traps, directly chose the "target type" to disarm the magic.
After the spell was cast, a white light shot out from the protective staff in Zhao Xu's hand, directly hitting the brick where the trap was arranged.
[Adventurer Midsummer casts "Disarming Magic" and "Spell Trap" to fight against the caster's verification, the adventurer's midsummer spellcaster's verification is 20+D20=20+15=35, and the spell trap caster's verification is 5+D20=5+10=15.] The verification passed, and the trap 1D4 = 4 rounds of time were successfully suppressed. 】
Zhao Xu read the information before he reacted to disarm the magic to deal with the magic trap, and it was actually a caster level confrontation test, not a difficulty test.
That is, the caster level of the staff, compared to the caster level of the priest who made the trap, whoever is higher has a greater chance of winning.
Instead of following the minimum level 13 requirement for a staff, Antinoa directly gave a level 20 caster level, which naturally allowed him to crush the level 5 priest who made the trap.
It's just that Zhao Xu didn't have time to sigh, he hurriedly shouted: "'Lifting the magic' can only suppress the trap for 4 rounds, hurry up and open the secret door." ”
Hearing this, the two wanderers did not suspect it, and both walked forward, and Rainbow was the first to rush to press the originally extremely dangerous brick.
Suddenly, the mechanism at the door was activated, and the stone door, which was originally looking at the wall without any gaps, slowly descended with a stone door one meter wide and two meters high, revealing a passageway.
The brick with the trap attached to it also landed.
"It's finally down." Yoyo was also relieved when he saw the piece disappear.
She also knew that her level was too low, and if it was higher, at least she would have the means to remove the damage from these spells.
The threat of casting spells is extremely troublesome for everyone.
"Can you get it?" Roya asked.
Although he was facing the auxiliary expert, everyone knew that he was asking in the middle of summer.
Zhao Xu nodded, "The range of the stone gate is deep enough, and we won't trigger the trap again." Wanderers now take the lead, keep searching for the traps inside. ”
After hearing Zhao Xu's instructions, Hill also looked at the leader Luo Ya, and Rainbow walked directly to the front.
Taking your life to go to the trap is also one of the fates of the wanderer.
The entire squad also adjusted their formation.
Everyone was on high alert and slowly passed through the stone gate in front of them.
With the light of the torches, slowly, the team also saw the situation inside the stone gate, which was a long corridor.
"Be careful." "If there are traps, we will be very passive. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get closer, as if it was easier to gather courage.
"It feels like going on a late-night expedition to a murderous house." After leaving the room full of red letters just now, Yoyo's originally suppressed emotions recovered a lot.
"Don't just put up a flag. Don't forget what we encountered in the forest last time. Rainbow, the wanderer at the forefront, even stopped.
He's fed up with the crow's mouth.
"Hmph, I didn't just say that I hope to see a cute bear, who knows it's a fierce bear." Yoyo complained.
Zhao Xu suddenly understood that the tickets for this zoo were a bit expensive, so he didn't know how many resurrection stones he received.
However, thinking of the accident that Youyou had encountered, Zhao Xu also held the staff in his hand tightly, and the next journey will depend on this staff.
