The Truth of Magic Chapter 231



231 Bodyguard (4/5)

it had to be said that under arthur’s management for thousands of years.

when an adventurer revealed his identity as a priest, he had already received most of the approval.

The camp was an indicator that showed the total of each person’s historical actions and their current exact state.

But it also became a reliable proof.

good and evil had officially become an obvious ” stamp ” that faintly covered everyone’s head.

zhao xu was wearing the goddess of magic’s priest holy emblem, which proved that he definitely wasn’t an evil priest.

because the priests and gods were on different sides, they could not exceed two levels.

therefore, the priests of the goddess could only stay in the four camps of order good, neutral good, chaotic good, and absolute neutral.

After Zhao Xu talked to the class monitor, Fang xiyue, he said that he would basically cooperate with her schedule.

everyone decided to go back and pack their belongings before setting off before sunset. then, they would set up camp in the wilderness and discuss their strategy for the next day.

apart from some players who were busy at night and couldn’t come, there were hundreds of people in their group.

there were dozens of such forces, but they didn’t have a deep connection, so they didn’t agree to set out together.

after deciding on what to do, zhao xu didn’t really have much to do, so he decided to just wait at the city gate that everyone had to pass through.

this time, zhao xu had decided to follow zhang qi and his other classmates because he wanted to prepare for his transmigration a year later.

Based on his current level up progress, he would definitely have the ability to protect himself.

Even for the current him, it could be said that he had more than enough explosive power but not enough stamina. No matter how unremarkable he was, the rich means he had were slowly making him a threat.

Ten months later, after he had obtained an advanced profession, he was roughly at level nine.

he would have to face the problem of how to differentiate between the high-level and low-level.

he had to play the role of someone who didn’t interfere too much in the battle, but who could cover up all mistakes when necessary.

This didn’t just require Zhao Xu to be good at fighting, he also needed to be good at healing and saving the day.

fortunately, he was both a mage and an archivist, so he had all kinds of ways to intervene in the battle and resurrect people after death.

Therefore, he needed to practice it in advance.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little sad.

In his previous life, he could only work hard and guard his own territory.

in this life, the moment he temporarily gained the ability of a level 20 priest, he was already thinking about how to bring his sister up the ranks.

Slowly, as the sun started to set in the sky and everyone’s shadows were elongated, Zhao Xu’s dozen or so classmates arrived.

zhao xu also noticed that there were a few more ” strangers ” that he knew in the team.

And this time, it was cui Lu who came up to introduce Zhao Xu. She was all smiles as she said to Zhao Xu, ” “hello, mr. priest. Yue suddenly has something to arrange, so she has to rush over tomorrow. Tonight, we’ll go.”

The class monitor, Fang xiyue, also had some class affairs to deal with in addition to playing games, and Zhao Xu knew that.

however, his gaze fell on the other people.

“Oh, I’m introducing you.” At this moment, cui Lu pointed to a mage at the side and said, “this is mage Mouton. He was the one who died in the front-line investigation team at fallen star Lake. This time, he has expressed that he will continue to follow us.

zhao xu said to the priest as well, and mouton did the same when he saw the priest of the goddess.

In reality, Zhao Xu found it quite strange that Mouton wasn’t going with the group from the mage Academy. Instead, he was going with his own group from his grade.

“this is lady flay. she is an experienced adventurer. she’s also feeling indignant about the slave trafficking incident, so she wants to go with us.” Cui Lu pointed at a tall and hot lady from Arthur.

zhao xu sized up the female wanderer, flay, who was slowly walking towards him. she was wearing an obviously exquisite set of embedded leather armor that almost couldn’t cover the low-neckline top she was wearing. there was an exquisite thin sword at her waist and a composite longbow hanging on her back.

Her adventurer’s outfit made her look more professional than cui Lu’s adventurer’s team. This was probably why everyone was willing to bring her along.

This was also why Zhao Xu was able to join the team so easily as soon as he revealed his identity as a priest. No one asked a single question about him.

in arthur, strength was always a more powerful weapon than looks.

the level 1 spell, charm human, was enough to affect the mind and make the other party friendly to him.

The level 3 spell ” suggestion. as long as he could make up a request with some reason, he could make the other party follow his suggestion and act.

the more overpowered level 5 spell, ” dominate humans, ” could force the other party to act according to simple instructions.

Fortunately, Arthur’s male players didn’t have any tools to commit crimes, and the level of mages was generally not high. Otherwise, they would have played the game like butter.

” oh, hello, mr. feng. i feel like you’re all very serious. ” the female wanderer, flay, chuckled softly. with her long wavy hair and curved eyelashes, her seductive face and smiling dimples made her look indescribably charming.

this made zhao xu’s classmates ‘hearts skip a beat. they all thought to themselves that this was just a character in the game. zhang qiqi looked at her a few more times and was pinched by his girlfriend, feng ge.

“yes, hello.” zhao xu muttered to himself, but he didn’t finish his sentence.

cui lu then introduced him to another middle-aged man with a gloomy and pale face. he was also a resident of arthur. his son had also gone missing, and he wanted to follow them on this mission.

zhao xu’s eyes lit up a little when he saw this person, but he didn’t say anything.

After this meeting, everyone had initially recommended mage Mouton as the leader, but he had declined by saying that he was not familiar with the team. In the end, it was still cui Lu who led them forward.

then, everyone went to the guards at the city gate for verification and followed the stream of people out of the city.

Flay walked in front of cui Lu as if she had met a confidant. She kept talking to cui Lu.

although one of the two girls was from earth and the other was arthur, flay’s sexy clothes and her long, slender, and fair legs made her look even more like an energetic girl from earth than cui lu. this made zhao xu and the other otakus look away.

Zhao Xu maintained a certain distance from the team, and most of his attention was focused on Flay.

because he knew this woman.

flay’s actual age was about the same as them. she had been an apprentice to a female thief since she was young, and she had made a name for herself with her brains and beauty.

If that was the case, it would be fine. Flay was the illegitimate daughter of donder, the current leader of the northern Alliance. The two of them had only met by chance half a year ago, and the news had not yet spread.

however, donder only had one descendant now, so he was no different from his own daughter.

If Zhao Xu hadn’t transmigrated to the floating city, he would have been using his experience from his reincarnation to get closer to these people who would be able to make it big in the future.

zhao xu was able to recognize this lady because after they transmigrated, she had been digging deep into the ground of starfall town, which he managed. she said that there was a mysterious tomb hidden beneath the ground.

he had made starfall town a mess, and he had cleaned up for the other party countless times.

Flay felt bad for troubling him so much, so she recommended him to the Alliance’s base camp to be the ” leader’s guard ” that he had to be promoted and get a raise. It was so that he could get in touch with the higher-ups of the Alliance and accumulate some capital.

logically speaking, with flay’s current status, it was reasonable for her to send a private bodyguard.

but zhao xu had the detect skill from the blazing sky god’s servant, and unless someone as strong as don, who was close to the legendary level, came personally, there was no way that bodyguard could follow him around without being noticed.

Besides, Zhao Xu’s eyes were now enhanced with a few spells such as truth-seeing and detection spells, so some magic techniques couldn’t be easily hidden from him.

zhao xu suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the question.

he was a little familiar with flay in his previous life, and he had forgotten about her.

flay had always suspected that there was a mysterious tomb beneath the fallen star lake, so it was normal for her to come here after reading some mysterious information.

However, her equipment did not match her status.

Her thin sword and embedded leather armor were exquisite products, which were 300 gold coins more expensive than normal ones. Moreover, the enhancement effect was close to that of ordinary +1 Magic weapons and armor.

however, as the leader of an alliance that controlled more than ten large cities and countless small towns, his power was not inferior to that of some lords and kings.

His only descendant did not have a few pieces of magical equipment on him, which was indeed a little unreasonable.

at this moment, zhao xu continued to scan flay’s entire body with his true sight spell.

Magic aura, a level-one illusion, could indeed conceal the aura emitted by the magic item itself.

but this spell was an illusion, so zhao xu’s truth-seeing spell would see through it.

therefore, the thin sword and leather armor were really just ordinary equipment that cost a few hundred gold coins.

In his previous life, he had seen the lady carry a magic weapon called ” backstab ” that could improve her assassination ability. The basic version of that thing cost more than 20000 gold coins, not to mention the one in the lady’s hand.

Suddenly, Flay felt Zhao Xu’s gaze change.

She turned her head around and smiled at Zhao Xu. Then, she whispered something into cui Lu’s ear and slowed down her pace until Zhao Xu reached her side.

at this moment, a few other students in zhao xu’s class looked over curiously, but when they saw zhao xu’s sharp gaze, they all turned their heads away.

“You’re the bodyguard my father sent?” flay asked zhao xu in a low voice.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was a little stunned. Then he suddenly realized that he was in a suitable position.

In his previous life, he was the one who recommended him to go to the main city, and that was how he managed to escape from the Black Dragon’s attack. After that, Zhao Xu also got caught up in the magic-sealing war.

until he joined the dragon-slaying team again, and then died in the black dragon’s acidic breath.

Zhao Xu had a nostalgic look on his face as he said, ” “That’s right, young miss. Leader donder sent me here.”

flay was finally relieved when she heard the man mention her father. she had read the note that an adventurer carrying a giant scythe would protect her.

“although i’ve known ms. lulu before, how could you be so sure that i would join this team to stop me?”

” and you’re too bold. you actually disguised yourself as a priest. i didn’t even dare to do this when i was lying in the past. ” Flay got closer to Zhao Xu and said in a low voice.

Zhao Xu had a confident smile on his face. “Young miss, I’m a real priest. Come to my room after we set up camp tonight. I have something to discuss with you.”
