Chapter 228: A Chance Encounter with a Classmate (2/5)

When Zhao Xu walked out of the Mage Association, he walked directly to a corner invisibly and disguised himself.

By the time Zhao Xu reappeared, he was already a priest wearing heavy armor and slatted armor, with a holy emblem of the goddess of magic pinned directly to his chest.

Zhao Xu's slatted armor was naturally conjured up by him.

Otherwise, although this armor will not affect the divine arts, but he is also a second-ring mage, and the arcane failure rate has soared to 40%.

The weapon in Zhao Xu's hand was a giant scythe, which also attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Because Sislvina's natural weapon is a wooden club, her priests usually use weapons that are identical to those of the gods, and rarely use such special weapons in a different way.

At this time, Zhao Xu followed everyone's rumors and walked to the Civic Center Square in the center of the strolling street, where the players' oath meeting was being held.

In fact, players have clashed with the local mines from time to time while on missions around the "Falling Star Lake".

, so this time it is also a long grudge.

And Zhao Xu was also holding the giant sickle in his hand on the way there, trying to familiarize himself with its usage as soon as possible.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu, as a warrior, was good at all kinds of military weapons, and the giant sickle was one of them.

It is also a two-handed melee weapon like the Greatsword.

According to the inheritance of the combat martial arts that Arthur has sorted out over the years, and then quantified through the character card system, the damage curve of the giant scythe in Zhao Xu's hand is about 2D4 (2-8) damage, and it is generally expected that the damage of one hit is about 5HP.

This damage characteristic is not outstanding, but in Arthur's combat skill inheritance, there is a trick to set the peak.

That is, when the level of attack is extremely high, it is a combat skill that can trigger "Heavy Attack", which deals great damage.

However, the difficulty of triggering is not exactly the same for different weapons.

The giant scythe in Zhao Xu's hand can basically only be triggered when he hits the kind of systematic evaluation that is close to perfection, that is, the highest evaluation of the 20th level in the 1-20 level evaluation.

But once it is triggered, after the threat is through heavy attacks, it is directly 4 times the damage, which is equivalent to Zhao Xu's damage of 20HP without stacking anything.

It can be said that once a low-level player is triggered by him, he will definitely fall to the ground and die.

However, no matter what Zhao Xu thinks.

He had to settle the premise that he didn't actually have the weapon.

For example, the vocational training of mages and priests only provides enough spirituality to "light weapons", and the "military weapon" of the giant sickle, if Zhao Xu wants to reach the realm of "good at", he has to replace it with expertise.

The reason why War Rangers don't have this problem is because they choose the War Field, which allows them to specialize in the gods' special weapons, and also gain the "Weapon Specialization" specialty.

It's a pity that the weapon that Sislvina herself is good at is a wooden club.

This wooden stick, he is good at the professional ability of mages, priests, and dossier scholars.

Triple as good at it, no need to stack at all.

However, Zhao Xu, as a spellcaster, as a spellcaster who has mastered all the spells of the first and second rings.

In his own right, he has all kinds of possibilities.

Once, Zhao Xu used the "Scholar's Touch" to quickly read a book in the library, and then relied on this ability as a retrieval tool.

And one article and one martial arts correspond to the "Master's Touch".

This minute-level spell of the mage ring can allow him to "specialize" at a certain weapon in a short period of time.

The disadvantage is that Zhao Xu has to prepare to use some spells before starting the war next.

Then the splendor of that moment can burst out.

At this time, Zhao Xu had already followed the flow of people and walked to the civic square.

At the front of the square, there are stone sculptures of the original thirteen founders of the Northern Alliance.

They started out as a group of adventurers, and later became famous for Arthur after the team slain the dragon slayer and successfully killed the demon lord in the abyss.

Eventually, the group settled in the Northlands, and relied on their fame to form the Northern Alliance, and the entire power continued for hundreds of years.

"Why, at this moment, there will be such an ugly thing as 'slave trade'!"

A humble stage was set up in front of the statue in the square, and a poet dressed in gorgeous costumes was indicting the evil of "Falling Star Lake" in an impassioned tone.

Immediately afterwards, the team of adventurers who had seen those mine owners and slave traders in the "Falling Star Lake" also walked up to the stage in turn and began to tell the more and more players gathered below, telling what had happened.

At this time, in addition to the players who came to support the scene, many citizens of Winter City stopped here and watched the narration on the stage.

On the stage was the priest of Lady Luck, a delicate and somewhat short girl, who, in her slightly weeping voice, described little by little the miserable situation of the slaves they had found in the underground pit.

There are not too many adjectives, just very simple white descriptions, directly outlining the hunger of those slaves, and even looking at them, there is no despair in their eyes, only numbness.

With the rise of the parties one by one, the atmosphere of the whole square has reached another peak.

Zhao Xu, who had already heard this historical material in his previous life, was actually much calmer at the moment.

At this time, he also experienced the power of various skills after stacking, and even affected how he observed the world.

At least when he was listening to the speech, his "observing words and feelings" skill was automatically activated, like an AI, constantly analyzing and reminding him of the various details of the speaker's demeanor.

Even before the speaker speaks, you can guess the next step.

As for what the pastor said, Zhao Xu actually knew better than these people.

After the players were strangled by the mine owners' guards, all the slaves they witnessed had already been killed.

Eliminate the last trace of it.

This is Arthur's most cruel truth, only a strong professional can have the right to breathe and be able to control his own destiny.

Level 1 civilians who don't have any abilities can only surge with the flow of people.

Even the Arthurian residents who stopped at this time were mostly ordinary Level 1 civilians, even if they heard it with gritted teeth.

A few of their own children were lost, and they could only go home and take out the coins and hand them to the Earth adventurers on the stage.

Please ask them to find their children.

Arthur's adventurers, after all, are in the minority.

Zhao Xu and the first players to enter the game are the adventurers per capita.

To put it mildly, they are much luckier than other earthlings who didn't make it into the game.

Even they were much luckier and stronger than many of Arthur's civilians with an average of 10 points of attribute.

It's just that Zhao Xu found that he saw a cruel truth under the blessing of his automatic "detection magic".

The players present were so poor that he almost thought his spells had failed.

Few players are wearing magical gear.

At a glance, he didn't add up to as much as he had, let alone the value, and it wasn't as expensive as the star cloak on his body.

Even many warriors could only wear some tattered light armor and hold machetes in their hands, stopping and listening in the audience.

After the warrior himself has completed his training, he will be able to wear "heavy armor" with higher defense, starting from slatted armor, which has at least 6 levels of defense, to "full body armor", which has a bonus of 8 armor.

I didn't wear it, naturally because I was poor.

At this time, Zhao Xu also noticed that the slatted armor that he had conjured up with only 200 gold coins was already a standout among the players present.

He also remembered that the level 1 mage "Shower Night" had only a few bottles of "healing minor injuries" potions all over his body.

Zhao Xu suddenly sighed deeply.

In his previous life, as the magistrate of "Falling Star Lake", he would go to the monument on the lake every year to hold a public sacrifice.

That's why he was so sure that this outbreak was three days ahead of schedule.

At that time, he used to wonder why the guards of the mine owners were actually similar in level to the players, or even more elite.

Even if there are still a few mages from the third and fourth rings on the mine owner's side to support, but they are not skilled after all, how can the player be beaten by layers at the beginning.

In the end, it had to be filled in with human lives before the fortified city of the mine owners was conquered.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu, whose reconnaissance skills completely beat everyone present, felt that someone was approaching him.

Zhao Xu's arm pressed slightly on the giant scythe, wary of a possible battle

Immediately after that, he heard a call behind him - "Brother Xu? ”

However, Zhao Xu, who was prepared, did not turn back without admitting himself.

At this time, there are still many roads around him.

As the footsteps approached, Zhao Xu felt that his shoulder was tapped.

Only then did he turn his head with a look of surprise.

Standing in front of Zhao Xu at this time was Zhang Qi.

Behind him stood a few of the class players playing games with.

And several female classmates in Zhao Xu's class, who were also playing games, did not come closer, but just stood in a slightly farther corner.

Including Cui Lu and others, everyone had no class today, so naturally they logged in to the game earlier, and they were all attracted at this time.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I recognized the wrong person, and I wondered why my classmate was supposed to be in Floating City, and why he suddenly appeared here. ”

At this time, Zhang Qi hurriedly apologized.

Zhao Xu also noticed that the other party only had a 10 gold coin leather armor on his body, and it was estimated that everything was spent elsewhere.

"Nothing." Zhao Xu responded simply.

At this time, he had changed from his height to his face, and Zhang Qi naturally couldn't see it.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's eyes froze, and his eyes looked towards the left-hand side.

A rising fireball was flying towards somewhere nearby this side.

Against him?

Wrong!

It's a planting.

Zhao Xu reacted instantly, and rushed over directly with an arrow step.
