Chapter 521: Dream Ritual, Shortwave News
In fact, no matter how much the audience who had just made a fuss guessed, they didn't expect that just one shot of the "secondary strong acid ball" would hit a full 80 points of full damage.
The fireball spell of the three rings is not even half, and it will be exempted from dodging half of the damage.
In other words, the whole process was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Xu.
Compared to the [1-4+ Constitution Adjustment] life increase of each level of these mages, the undead creatures such as vampires have no Constitution Adjustment, so the increase in life is 1-12 points (D12) per level.
It's just that the other party is still too vegetable, and he still can't survive the test of Zhao Xu's 80 points of damage.
With a "Spell Extreme", he will increase the damage of the "Secondary Strong Acid Ball" to 40 points, and when combined with the "Spell Twin", it will be 80 points.
Basically, the vast majority of current players can't afford to ban Zhao Xu's "secondary ball" with 80 damage.
Not to mention that in this ball series of spells, there are various elements such as sound waves, fire, and cold.
Further up, Zhao Xu can also sacrifice the "Strong Acid Ball" of the four rings, and at that time its damage range is "15D6" with a disgusting effect.
Under Zhao Xu's super magic specialty bonus, it is directly 180 direct damage without discount.
However, the only price is that Zhao Xu needs to pay a temporary attribute damage cost of 3 (extreme effect) + 4 (twins) -1 (super magic mastery) = 6 points because of the ability of "super magic control".
Fortunately, he now has a total of 115 points for the six attributes, even if he doesn't cast the minute-level "energy protection" spell of the third ring in advance to immune to attribute damage, it is not a big problem.
After returning to his room, Zhao Xu asked Vivian to give him a temporary warning.
He performed a ritual to reconnect to the Floating City's Legendary Library, and Luduo to find the "Dream Ritual".
Tossed until almost three o'clock, after the various searches of the entire hotel were completed and calmed down, Zhao Xu also successfully got the information he wanted and went offline on the spot.
----------
After his consciousness returned to Earth, Zhao Xu woke up from his familiar and soft bed.
His mind kept flashing about the rituals he had just seen in the "Library of Legends".
Zhao Xu tried to connect to the supreme artifact "Lux" in his heart, but there was still no response as before.
This also means that what he has to do next will have to be self-reliant.
Since ancient times, among the means of "manifestation", dreaming has been an effective and safe way.
It has both the means of spatial isolation and protects the Manifest.
It also fits in with the most crucial step - being able to cross spatial distances.
No matter how stubborn a person is, he can't help but have the same dream content three or four times, not to mention that there are more subconscious effects in the dream, and the degree of thinking and vigilance will be much lower.
In Arthur, Zhao Xu has actually mastered the spell to invade the dream realm - the four rings "Walking in Dreamland", which is similar to the "Otherworldly Teleportation" spell, which can send the recipient into the dream of others.
There is even the "Dream Puppet Technique" of the Five Rings, which controls the body while others are in the dream, just like the "Monster Domination Technique".
It's just that the earth and Arthur are in different universes, so Zhao Xu's four-ring spell in Arthur can't pass through that material energy channel.
If the other party happens to sleep in "Arthur", not to mention the protection of the gods for the soul, even if he can succeed, Zheng Xinyun will only think that it is some kind of game content in the face of the stranger in the dream.
It may be funny, but it won't be serious.
So he needs to use the "dream invasion" method on "Earth".
Zhao Xu naturally can't use spells, but Arthur has another means in addition to spells - rituals.
This is also the "means" that Zhao Xu found from that library.
After figuring it out, he tiptoed to the storage room next to the living room, flashlighted, and searched for the "target items" he needed.
Candles, cardboard, red oil-based pens, aromatherapy oils, mirrors......
"Rituals" are essentially similar to spells, except that they can be cast by a non-caster character.
Performing a ritual is like cooking a dish.
Zhao Xu first found the "recipe" (ritual content), then prepared the "materials" (ritual materials), and then through the "processing" (arrangement ceremony), with the "cooking" (mantra gestures) method, he was able to perform it.
After preparing the materials for the ceremony, Zhao Xu returned to his room and locked it, but the location he chose was on the balcony.
More than an hour later, when dawn comes, the moonlight is obscured.
Only now, when the moonlight is as cool as flowing water, pouring on Zhao Xu's balcony and reflecting his face, is the best time.
After Zhao Xu took a deep breath, he began to place the cardboard and quietly arranged it on the balcony.
Rituals cannot replace "spells" because they are "complex" and "require a lot of specifics".
Like the "ritual" that could be used to "teleport to the Garden of Joseph," the place of resurrection, the journey of Herrosga, which required the construction of a thatched hut in the middle of the forest, and was only valid during the winter solstice.
For example, Zhao Xu's current "dream ritual" can only be performed when the moon is full close to the Lantern Festival, so if he delays it for a few more days, he will not meet the conditions for casting.
Zhao Xu, who mentioned the spirit of twelve, relied on his strong intelligence to clearly remember the entire process of the "ceremony", which was also the premise for him to have the confidence to perform the "dream ritual".
The process of setting up and performing it is very complicated, and even if he makes a mistake, it will cause the ritual to fail.
This can have unpredictable consequences.
And the level of mysterious knowledge is the key element that determines the ritual, fortunately, because Zhao Xu upgraded too quickly, so other players were busy in the process of fighting monsters, he was dedicated to studying mysterious knowledge and religious knowledge, and worked hard to improve the level of the two.
What's more, "Antinoya" had visited here before, leaving the house with "shelter".
At the same time, the goal of his ritual is still "Zheng Xinyun", and he knows every bit of the other party, and now there is an additional layer of indirect "believer" identity.
After calculating the whole ceremony, Zhao Xu felt that he had exceeded the success rate of "ninety percent".
In the end, after the final version of the circle was outlined, Zhao Xu maintained a certain mysterious breathing rate according to the requirements of the ritual.
At the same time, he lit the candle in the very center.
As power outages in cities became less and less, candles slowly disappeared from people's eyes.
At this time, the candle flame floated above the candle body, and as Zhao Xu's incantation was whispered, and at the same time, both hands began to make repeated gestures, and the candle flame also accelerated and jumped, as if disturbed by the wind.
I just sang for nearly ten minutes, and there was nothing unusual about the whole process.
Only Zhao Xu knew what stage he had reached.
In an instant, he smeared a handful of peppermint oil on his forehead, and drew it according to the psychic spell, like a pen walking like a dragon and a snake.
The cold feeling penetrated his skin little by little, until the feeling disappeared after half a moment, Zhao Xu grabbed a handful of sandalwood that his father had purchased and put it on the spot, and then gently raised it and shook off the incense ash.
At the same time, he placed his own gold pendant, which had been flattened into a thin sheet with iron tongs, on top of the candle flame, on which Snoopy's appearance was no longer in shape.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's mind seemed to be surging with blood, and he felt a mysterious power emerge from his body.
In an instant, the "golden flake" that would have only been blackened by the candle flame melted so magically.
Originally, there was no high temperature of thousands of degrees and the gold that could not be melted at all, but it melted little by little in front of Zhao Xu, and then disappeared.
Burning money is also one of the characteristics of the ritual.
It's just that at this point, Zhao Xu also gritted his teeth and continued to silently recite the "mysterious incantation" that had not been broken just now in his heart.
In an instant, the candle that could have been able to supply more than half an hour of burning burned out in an instant.
Zhao Xu's whole person also slowly fell behind him.
Fell asleep.
---------------------
"Strange, what's this signal for?"
In the middle of the night, a man who couldn't sleep was adjusting his shortwave radio when he suddenly heard a beep in the usual silent frequency band.
It's just that he had just seen the wavelength band of a few thousand hertz above, and when he was about to record it and listen carefully, the sound mysteriously disappeared.
"This is supposed to be the international band, and the power is so strong, there is no noise at all, and even I can receive it here."
The man thought silently in his heart, but after listening for a while and not noticing, he put down the headphones again.
At this moment, there was a sound on the radio, so low that it was impossible to hear, as if calling someone's name.
