Chapter 364: God's Steps

Most of the items in this auction are from a recently excavated hidden mage graveyard.

Due to the prestige of the Mage Guild of Mystra next door, as well as the shock of the Church of the Goddess, the auction did not even dare to be held in Mystra, and could only be quietly arranged to be held in the middle of the night in Frostdew Town.

Buying and selling magical items unearthed from the cemetery will naturally make it difficult to get official protection.

The son of a daughter can't sit down, so most of the people who come to tonight's auction are also agents sent by aristocratic merchants.

Most of the team is also composed of stewards with bidding authority and guards, and some even directly entrust adventurers to protect them.

Zhao Xu had also made several similar transactions in his previous life, and he knew the depth of this kind of auction.

Even the current players with a numerical advantage still can't afford it.

But he is an exception.

The previous "old ghost woman" was able to swagger and escape in front of him, and that was because the other party could rely on the heart-shaped stone he carried to cast the magic ability of the Nine Rings' "Traveling with the Spirit Realm".

He really has no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.

And after the group of them arrived at Frostdew Town, Zhao Xu, Zheng Xinyun and Eliton waited all afternoon at the entrance of the market street described by the middle-aged woman, without waiting for the old woman dressed as a witch to appear.

Later, Zhao Xu relied on "suggestion" and heard the legend and insider story from Mrs. Betty.

made Zhao Xu realize that there was not only one "old witch" in Frostdew Town.

I'm afraid that it was because of the disturbance in the dilapidated houses that made them directly become noisy, so Zhao Xu didn't wait for the target to appear in Frostdew Town.

It's just that the town itself is also secretive about this topic, involving an unbearable history of many families in the town.

And Mrs. Betty thought that Zhao Xu was coming to investigate, so her first reaction was to hide it and wait for the report back to the family.

Zheng Xinyun has a party tonight, and it will not be online again at night.

Eliton happened to have a distant relative in Frostdew, so he also stopped by to pay him a visit.

Therefore, Zhao Xu stuffed the invitation back into his backpack, saw that it was still early, and directly began to cast spells, preparing to go to the auction alone tonight.

In the past two days, Zhao Xu has reviewed the list of spells from one to three rings that he currently mastered.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he still underestimated the "super magic control" ability of the super magic sculpting magic envoy, and how powerful it was when combined with the "magic durability".

In general, while the duration of most spells is tied to the caster's level, a few have a fixed duration.

The time scale is mostly hour-level, minute-level, round-level, or even one or two rounds of fixed time.

It's like an hour-level spell, and it's barely ready on the front line at the beginning of the battle.

Most of the wheel-level spells can only be cast after the battle, but the strength itself is not bad.

Once a spell with a duration of "Wheel/Level" is formatted correctly, it can be combined with the "Spell Persistence" specialty, and after 24 hours, its power will start to become extremely terrifying.

It is even equivalent to Zhao Xu using a fixed spell ring to exchange it for some 24-hour abilities.

For example, "Mage Armor" and "Shield Technique" are one-ring spells, and ordinary mages can mount hour-level "Mage Armor" to themselves.

As for the wheel-level "shield technique", only Zhao Xu and others can last for a long time, and they can be hung on their bodies 24 hours a day.

At this time, Zhao Xu spread out another architectural drawing in his hand, which was when he asked Mrs. Betty and specially found the as-built drawing of the auction venue tonight for him.

After Zhao Xu glanced at it a few times, he judged a few routes that he could retreat calmly from.

It's just that he doesn't plan to do it alone, and immediately turns his attention to "flying ability".

Mages generally don't walk on their own feet after level 5.

For long distances, there is a mount spell called "Summoning Mount" and a three-ring "Phantom Pony".

In the air domain, it is "flying art".

It's a pity that the flying technique is a "contact" and "minute-level" spell that can't last. Therefore, most of them can only be used for temporary flight escape, and cannot be used for long-distance travel.

Spells that can be applied for a spell to last must be "self" or "fixed distance", that is, spells that can only be cast on oneself can last.

The "Contact" spell, although it can be cast on others, like "Mage Armor" and "Radiant Armor", has lost its long-lasting qualification and blocked the door.

However, Zhao Xu was once covered by the other party with a "greasy technique" when he was stealthily tracking Eswig and others during the trial.

At that time, he used the "Swift Flying Technique", which could only be used on himself, and it lasted only 1 round.

Originally, he couldn't perform the three-ring flying spell, and he relied on this "disabled version" of the two-ring spell to fly away from the greasy area.

But this spell with its area of effect, not contact, just meets the spell's durability requirement.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's three-ring flying technique could only last for about ten minutes.

On the contrary, it is the spell lasting second ring "Swift Flight", which can fly for a full 24 hours.

It is equivalent to that from now on, as long as he sacrifices a fixed second-ring spell slot every day, he can exchange for the "flying" ability that makes countless warriors drool in envy.

The current Zhao Xu spell position, the three professions of mage, priest, and dossier add up, with a total of 11 zero rings, 13 first rings, 9 second rings, and 5 third rings.

Combined with this, he can fuse two low rings into one high ring spell, so his own endurance far exceeds that of ordinary level 6 spellcasters.

A mere second-ring spell position will not make Zhao Xu feel distressed.

However, after Zhao Xu thought about it, he didn't rush to cast a spell.

At this time, yesterday's snow had just melted, and there were still bursts of cold air in the air, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Zhao Xu's body, making him feel a trace of warmth.

also made his choice clear in an instant.

Under normal circumstances, "swift flight" is okay.

It's just that in the face of tonight's special situation, Zhao Xu turned to cast another three-ring magic technique "God's Steps" on himself.

God's Walk is a spell that allows the recipient to gain a new way of movement and a new speed.

The spell itself corresponds to different ways of movement depending on the deity, ranging from climbing, flying, and digging. If you choose a non-believing deity, the duration is halved.

However, Zhao Xu is not entangled, the one he wants to choose is the goddess of magic.

Corresponds to "flight capability", "normal speed 7 km/h, full speed 28 km/h".

This three-ring spell, on the one hand, the maneuverability of the flight ability is "perfect", which is better than the good maneuverability of the "flying technique".

And it's a bit faster than the average 5 (full speed 20) km/h.

The only problem is that the duration of this spell is "wheel/level".

It's just that the priests don't have the channel to get the three-ring arcane flying technique, and many times they can only rely on this spell to obtain the ability to fly.

And this is not a problem for Zhao Xu, who has a long-lasting low-cost spell.

Even his choice of this spell was based on another factor that was extremely powerful.

For the duration of the spell, if you choose to terminate the spell early, you can gain an inhuman burst of speed at once.

For each additional round of spell remaining time, Zhao Xu can gain an additional 1.8 (7.2 km/h at full speed) in the next 6 seconds.

It looks very small, because the speed of cars on the earth is about 30 km/h in urban areas, and nearly 100 km/h on the highway.

After all, the average person only lasts a few rounds, even if it consumes 10 rounds at a time, it is only 25 (full speed 100) km/h.

It's comparable to a speeding car, but the effect only lasts for one round.

Translated, that is, it can fly up to 166 meters in 6 seconds, which is equivalent to three times the human record for a 100-meter sprint.

When you need to run for your life urgently, it's barely good.

However, Zhao Xu was different, he immediately cast this spell on himself.

As the spell took effect, his whole body slowly became extremely light, and even if his back didn't spread his wings, he still felt the air slowly lifting him.

It's like soaring into the sky.

[Adventurer Midsummer, you cast "God's Steps" (spell lasting) on yourself, gaining a flight speed of 7 (full speed 28) km/h, duration: 24 hours/14440 rounds (originally 12 rounds)]

At this time, after performing the spell one after another, on the information panel, the words of the remaining time of 14440 rounds almost blinded Zhao Xu's eyes.

This means that now that he dissolves the spell, he will be able to gain a speed of 25,000 (100,000 km/h at full speed).

The speed of light is only 300,000 km/h.

Even Zhao Xu flew so much on the earth, not to mention the speed of sound of 1,000 km/h, he could even break away from the earth on the spot.

Because the first speed of the universe at 8,000 km/h is not even a fraction of a fraction.

However, Zhao Xu didn't dare to die like this, and he didn't dare to fly out of a terrifying distance of 170 kilometers in 6 seconds of acceleration.

Organisms on Earth themselves have a linear speed of rotation of one or two thousand kilometers per hour, but they are not aware of their actual movement until they remain stationary with the ground.

But if he rashly reached this speed for Arthur's land now, he was afraid that it would turn into a meatloaf on the spot.

He can only suppress his speed and fly as far as his armor and constitution allow.

If there really was a big battle tonight, as long as Zhao Xu could successfully break through to the empty sky, he would be able to show those people how fast a priest was.
