Chapter 223: Divination (2/5)
After Zhao Xu left the Grocery Square with his invisibility technique, he rushed directly towards the Mage Guild residence in Winter City.
After leaving Mystra to find the altar where the demon was hiding, he was sent to rest at a hotel in the town, because there was no mage guild there.
Otherwise, Zhao Xu could completely rely on his mage status and apply for accommodation through the nearby Magic Association.
In addition to the fact that the price of a night is much lower, the Mage Guild itself means that there is enough secrecy.
He was dressed in a magic robe and a giant scythe on his back, and this combination of features was really dazzling.
Just now, the newsboy just mentioned that he could cast the three-ring spell, and when the other party pointed out the giant scythe, then the mage apprentice and Shen Nian would understand that the three-ring mage who had harvested the lives of Voran and the others was standing in front of them.
In the winter city, everything flows slowly, Zhao Xu had sent an application for repairing the road to the city hall before, and the approval process was delayed for a year and a half just to the final arbitration of the city lord's mansion.
However, the gossip news in Winter City runs faster than anyone else.
Zhao Xu, who had seen this kind of urine in his previous life, knew that at the latest, at night, everyone who should know would know the details of the killing that had just happened.
Therefore, he had to rush to the Mage Guild to apply for accommodation before this time, and then use the previous means to change his appearance.
Now Zhao Xu, to put it mildly, after blessing the spell, he can even be more warrior than a warrior.
In the end, when Zhao Xu arrived at the reception counter in the front hall of the Mage Association in Winter City, he directly withdrew his stealth technique and walked straight to a card slot to register.
Theoretically, every registered mage who goes to another town with a mage guild will not lose a disadvantage by going to the local town to register once.
At least in the provision of various information channels, the association can give a help.
Zhao Xu didn't come to the first stop before, mainly because the clerk in charge of registration at the front desk may not know Winter City better than him.
Strictly speaking, he's the snake here.
This time, Zhao Xu Zhiji did not hand out his super VIP card together, that is, the "Mithril Shine" badge.
Anyway, if he comes to register, the association will know if it wants to intervene, and if he doesn't need to emphasize, if he doesn't intervene, it actually means that everything depends on his own reliance.
And he also felt that the less external force intervened, the more he could find the "portal".
"Mr. Midsummer, I'm sorry, but due to the recent expansion of the mage community and the academic symposium held in Winter City. Therefore, until the end of this month, all the registered First Ring Masters of the Association can only stay in double rooms, and in order to apologize, this accommodation is free. And you also direction, the new accommodation has been approved, and it will be able to be built by the end of the month. ”
Miss clerk, said in a polite and gentle tone as much as possible.
Zhao Xu estimated that he hadn't heard much of this measure in his previous life.
However, he also heard the other party's key points, I am afraid that the two points of "One Ring" and "Earth Adventurer" are the reasons for his treatment.
Zhao Xu reacted immediately.
I'm afraid that this kind of welfare for registered mages has been arbitraged too much by those graduated first-ring mages and mages, and there is a shortage of spare rooms, so I can only take this measure.
And those double rooms should also be converted from the original single rooms.
Zhao Xu didn't plan to modify the number of rings representing his identity on the badge at this time, otherwise he would probably inject his own magic power, and the badge would automatically transform into two rings.
He also wanted to contact the mage players in Winter City to supplement the information, so he still agreed to the request of this double room.
Anyway, it won't take him a few minutes.
Before, he went to look for Wolan, but he actually wanted to release a message through the other party's hand to pay attention to whether there was anything unusual around him.
"Okay, then I'll check you in now."
Although the clerk knew that the player in front of her was not too annoyed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that the other party didn't care.
For her, these mages are unpredictable.
-------------
When Zhao Xu arrived at the target's room with the door number plate and key that he had cast, he found that the room was already full of three people, namely a first-ring mage and two mage apprentices.
The three of them were all sitting on rattan couches by the door, and in the middle of the long table was still the "griffin chess" that was popular in the Northland.
The whole room is very spacious, even if there are two beds, there is still a large open space in the middle, and in the corner is a desk, where a simple alchemy device is placed.
On the other side of the aisle are bookshelves, most of which are relatively simple magic books.
"Huh?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but have some questions, has it become a 4-person room?
"Oh, I'm sorry, the two of them are mage apprentices who haven't graduated from the guild yet, I heard that I came to Winter City to come to see me, sorry, they'll leave later."
The mage of Yihuan, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly stood up and gestured to Zhao Xu, "My name is 'Shower Night', a level 1 mage. ”
Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Zhao Xu also nodded, "Midsummer, level 1 mage." ”
Generally speaking, the game IDs taken are bizarre and do not conform to Arthur's original naming style, and most of them are difficult to be widely circulated.
Therefore, many players use their real names after crossing.
Especially when playing games, the name chosen is the kind that sounds shy.
Zhao Xu didn't say much, first put his giant sickle next to an unused bed.
Just now, he had temporarily borrowed some simple bandaging strips from the front desk, and after putting away the knife edge of the giant sickle in his hand, he wrapped it around again, and basically couldn't see the original shape.
So the three people in the room didn't pay much attention to it.
"Did you hear that the 'Falling Star Lake' has recently disappeared a group of people. Yesterday, the Temple of the God of Justice sent a wave of paladins to investigate. Said the slightly chubby apprentice sitting alone.
"Hey, the place in 'Falling Star Lake' is very dark, and something will happen sooner or later. If it weren't for the fact that it was a key transit point nearby, we players wouldn't have bothered to go. "It's a taller and thinner apprentice.
And the level 1 mage who introduced himself at the beginning, Shower Night, said with a big grin, "Don't say it, I took the task to go to the 'Falling Star Lake' to investigate this time, and there is a big man's nephew who is also missing." ”
"Come on, there's a bunch of miners underneath that haven't seen the light of day, and there's a bunch of entertainment on the ground. Who knows if the nephew of the big man is still in the gentle country. The slightly fat apprentice complained.
After hearing the other party's discussion, even if Zhao Xu knew the reason for the outbreak of the "Battle of Falling Star Lake" in his previous life, he still felt the calm before the storm at this moment.
But he didn't say much, and instead headed for another room in the suite, where there was an ashram that he needed to use some spells to figure out.
Just on the main road, it's too noisy to cast spells.
And the three of them happened to talk about the Fengyue place in Falling Star Lake at this moment, and they couldn't help but start to show their insights at this moment, and they commented on it one at a time.
Zhao Xu didn't know why, the man didn't seem to express his opinion on this aspect, as if he was very faceless.
But after listening to the last sentence, he had already entered the quiet room and closed the door with his hand.
In order to avoid infection, there is only a simple set of tables and chairs, and the rest of the commonly used ritual utensils are loaded into a box next to it.
However, Zhao Xu was going to perform magic this time, so he directly took out the things he had bought before from his backpack.
A set of marked divination sticks, full of the magic tools used by the ancient tribes of sorcerers for divination.
This is also the magic weapon needed for the priest's two-ring magic "divination".
Then Zhao Xu continued to take out the special incense from his backpack, and then lightly dipped his fingers in the holy water, and drew a simple magic circle on the table.
Finally, Zhao Xu put the holy emblem on it again, and at the same time began to light incense.
When the reassuring aroma slowly rose, Zhao Xu directly held the small stick and began to wave it according to the requirements of the "Divination".
The whole stick seemed to be waving irregularly, but in fact, a faint magic circle was slowly written in the air.
This is also the reason why the casters look pale and old, and they use their brains to cast complex spells every day, and their bodies are not much better.
On the contrary, he only uses "divine grace", "divine energy", and "righteousness like a rainbow" to strengthen his own spells, and his body is a double stick.
The time of the divination spell is a full minute.
In the end, when Zhao Xu finished performing the spell, the incense worth 25 gold coins in front of him was burned in one go, and the whole process was accelerated by hundreds of times.
When that bit of incense burned to the last ashes, the flames that were about to be extinguished bounced directly in the air, floating in front of Zhao Xu's eyes, emitting green phosphorescence.
Zhao Xu looked at the phosphorescent light dancing in front of him, and directly said the question he had prepared before-
"If I teleport to the 'Falling Star Lake' immediately, will it be helpful to find my target portal?"
For divination, the more explicit the question, the more likely it is to get a successful response.
At this time, the spiritual light floating in the air slowly began to condense, and finally turned into a "auspicious" character.
The phosphorescent light then slowly dissipated, and the room fell back into darkness.
But Zhao Xu was unmoved.
Although he had basically guessed the result, he was not too excited.
To be honest, Zhao Xu didn't want to rush into the Falling Star Lake.
After reading that history, he knew the tragedy of the battle, and it was also thanks to the players that they had resurrection stones, otherwise they would not want to see players alive around Winter City.
Even though he was the least lethal of the players, he still didn't want to dance around the powder keg.
So he has always tried to change the fate of other people by influencing them, rather than suddenly intervening.
Otherwise, a portal qualification, he really didn't have that hard to obtain.
Sure enough, it was the place where the "Grim Reaper" once suffered, and even the location where the portal was opened was the most tragic place for the imminent death.
