Chapter 216: Winter City (1/3)
In his previous life, Zhao Xu, as the sheriff of the town, still had a magic weapon with +1 enhancement and value.
Although it is not as good as the majority of high-level warriors, it is a +2 or +3 level magic weapon at every turn, but Zhao Xu himself is already very satisfied.
A warrior with a magic weapon is equivalent to a car owner on Earth.
It's not enough to say that it's a luxury car, but when you don't have to take risks every day, you have to beg the mages for a "magic weapon" to get by.
In the early stage, when the mage itself is short of spell slots, it is generally not easy to spread out spell slots to bless weapons for warriors.
+1 magic weapon, the most obvious feature is to increase their own attack power by 1 level.
If that's all there is to it, that's it.
The point is that many monsters themselves have damage reductions, and warriors often manage to successfully penetrate the monster's defenses and cut out the damage with the broadsword in their hands.
only to find that the damage was instantly wiped out, which is the power of damage reduction.
Fortunately, this damage reduction is usually accompanied by weaknesses, the most common of which is that it will be broken down by magic weapons.
And even if it is a weakness, there are often special effects in magic weapons to target.
So Arthur's "magic weapon" is naturally rising.
A weapon wants to be successfully enchanted and become a magic weapon.
It had to be a "refinement" worth hundreds of gold coins, which was then enchanted by the caster and transformed into a "magic weapon".
The "giant sickle" in front of Zhao Xu, if it is the most ordinary kind of standard equipment, it only takes 18 gold coins to get it.
However, if it is a "refined product", it will need to increase by 300 gold to 318 gold to be purchased.
After becoming a magic weapon, the specific price is determined according to the strength of the enchantment.
Within the Legend range, the boost bonus for normal magic weapons is between +1 and +5.
However, magic weapons are not just monotonously increasing attack strength and damage power.
Magic weapons themselves can also have special effects attached, and Arthur generally divides them by a fixed number of coins, or "+1" to "+5", depending on their value.
For example, Zhao Xu's former transformation into the Blazing Sky Divine Servant has a +5 Sky Dancing Giant Sword.
+5 indicates that the enhancement bonus for magic weapons has reached its limit.
The "Dancing Sky" is a "special ability" that allows the owner to free their hands, and the price evaluation is also equivalent to +5 enhancement.
Therefore, the price adjustment of a +5 Sky Dancing Greatsword itself is a +10 bonus, which is also the upper limit of magic weapons under the legend.
The highest can only be stacked to +10.
Like the +1 Nether Scythe in front of Zhao Xu, the weapon enhancement bonus itself is +1, and the price adjustment of the "Nether" effect is also "+1", so its price adjustment is equivalent to "+2".
After thousands of years of price fluctuations, Arthur has basically become a very stable high-end trade in magic weapons, and the prices are extremely stable unless it is a local war.
Basically, the price adjustment goes from "+1" to "+10", with the cheapest "+1" being 2000 gold.
The price adjustment "+2" will increase by 8000 gold coins, that is, the +1 Nether Scythe in Zhao Xu's hand, on the original price of 318 gold coins, because of the two characteristics of "+1" enhancement and Netherworld, it directly soared to the market price of 8318 gold coins.
These magic weapons are also the most valuable collateral, so all warriors are not hesitant to spend a lot of money to buy one.
Therefore, even if Zhao Xu is a little tyrant at the moment, he can't help but be excited when he sees this magic weapon that the "Fear of Chestnut Binding Spirit" dropped because of his escape.
That's exactly 8,000 gold coins in hand.
If you take a big risk, you will have a big gain.
Nether weapons are also the only rare equipment that can be dropped by the Void Body, and may not be able to be successfully dropped even after ten fights.
However, with this weapon, Zhao Xu will really become a warrior in the future, and even if he fights a ghost, he will not be restrained.
However, Zhao Xu looked at the "giant scythe" in front of him over and over again, and he couldn't see anything unusual after all, and it didn't have any special mechanism.
Based on Zhao Xu's hands, which had touched countless weapons in his previous life, this was just an "ordinary" magic weapon.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xu also walked to the front and stood in front of the portal leading to the "Scavenging Beast Half-Plane".
The edge of the portal is a stone door frame, and the inside is constantly glowing with blue and white spell energy ripples, and it is obvious that if you walk through this door, you will be able to teleport to the target location.
During this time, after Zhao Xu had been in and out of the Floating City, he had more than one experience of coming and going to these portals, and he no longer had the excitement he had when he passed through him for the first time.
And generally when it comes to this step, most of the choices of normal people are to directly hold the "key" giant scythe, and then slowly walk into the portal, waiting for the challenge to come.
It's just that Zhao Xu is now a mage with various means.
Compared to other players, he flapped his wings and could see the existence of a larger world outside.
Since Zhao Xu has a maximum limit of seventeen second-ring spells, then he will also pay the price for intelligence.
The experiences of this experience have taught him that nothing is so simple.
Even he doubted that the scythe in his hand was the real key.
Or is there more than one key to pass through this portal?
Otherwise, the key to this portal is hidden in the body of the "Fear of Fear Bound Spirit", and the other party will just fall it, which will inevitably be a little more extreme.
So after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu decided to solve it according to the mage's ideas.
Since he doesn't know.
Then let the spell tell him.
At the moment when he knew that the target was a portal, Zhao Xu had already flashed a spell in his mind - "Resolve Portal".
This spell is the Three-Ring spell of the Mage and the Poet, but it is also the second-ring spell of the Teleportation Realm.
So it just so happened that Zhao Xu, as a level 3 dossier scholar in front of him, was able to show it.
Zhao Xu took out the lenses and small mirrors that he had specially bought at the bazaar in the morning from his backpack, and cast a spell on the spot according to the spell in his mind.
The cast time of this spell is close to a full minute.
Zhao Xu once performed an hour of "identification", so he was able to maintain patience all the time.
It wasn't until the last incantation was chanted that after the two-ring divine skill position in his mind disappeared instantly, the crystal lens in his hand and the mirror directly fused into one, turning into a bright light covering Zhao Xu's whole body.
Immediately after, Zhao Xu felt that his whole body was like an incarnation of radar, and waves of energy radiated from his body, and began to locate the portal or "Otherworldly Gate" spell within a full 18 meters.
In the end, there is indeed only one portal at this high platform, and naturally all the energy gathers on it.
Zhao Xu has a level 5 caster level, so he can last this spell for close to 5 rounds.
And he was able to get a message from this portal every round!
One message after another kept popping up on Zhao Xu's dynamic panel, revealing the secret of this portal to him.
It's just that the more Zhao Xu looked at it, the more he frowned.
Following these prompts, he will be able to pass through the portal in front of him with the scythe, and a "random" teleportation effect will be applied.
Where he teleported, the forces of time and space would construct a covert temporary portal that lasted for five days, and only he could pass through.
His mission was to find the portal, and once inside, it would lead to the "legendary half-plane".
Zhao Xu didn't expect that he would suddenly pull the battlefield to another place.
This also means that the variables increase dramatically.
Although only he could pass through the portal, he would have a lot more outside interference.
From Arthurian Natives to players, it's all there.
Zhao Xu looked at the "gem" he was buried in the corner at this time.
As long as he was on the same plane, he was able to successfully return to the location of any of the gems through the "Gem Jump" magic he had previously cast.
It's just that he comes back, but the portal won't come back.
Everyone can only activate the power of this portal once in ten years.
Compared to other people who have to teleport and arrive in an unfamiliar city, they have to go through some grinding and guessing before they can understand the ultimate goal.
Zhao Xu relied on the spell of "Analyzing the Portal", directly skipped many guesses, and went straight to the target in one step.
This is also a powerful effect of spells.
It can smooth out the gaps.
It can falsify speculation.
It can reverse reality.
After Zhao Xu thought about it, he stepped forward calmly.
Speaking of which, his "analysis portal" is actually a big killer, and he who has learned this spell, as long as he can judge the area of the portal, he can rely on this spell to locate the specific location of the hidden portal.
So he didn't have to force his luck like the rest of the staff.
Slowly, Zhao Xu's whole person also walked into the portal that was constantly vibrating on the surface.
A burst of white light flashed.
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up.
In front of him was the familiar "Strolling Avenue", which was full of taverns and restaurants, and the sound of the player selling and haggling was constantly heard in a huge grocery market next door.
The nearby shops have stacked their shelves on the walkway, and the chimneys of the blacksmith shops in the distance stand tall, constantly spitting out clouds of smoke, making it a lively streetscape.
Zhao Xu smiled with satisfaction.
He was back in his memory of Winter City ten years ago.
