The Truth of Magic Chapter 222



222 The aftermath of the massacre

Seeing Zhao Xu’s actions, Shen Nian, who had also trained in Arcana before, saw the notification on the status bar and knew that he was casting a detection spell.

Just like many “noobs” who had just arrived at the grocery market.

At this moment, a male mage player from a neighboring stall looked over and could not help but laugh when he saw this scene, as if he was recalling his past self.

after the middle-aged man who took away two bottles of shen nian’s “anti-poison” disappeared, he took over the stall.

Because the scammer had also taken a 1-circle arcane scroll from him, he could only use the remaining lease period of the stall to barely pay off the debt.

“It’s useless for you to do this,” The wizard player reminded Zhao Xu, “you’re in a normal town, and there aren’t even any Level 1 Wizards there. You can still use a zero-circle spell, detect magic, to find the treasure.

“but in this grocery market, there are no less than ten stalls with mages behind them. Therefore, the items that can emit magic aura have already been filtered out.”

Magic items would emit magic aura of their own level.

the intensity of the aura was determined by the level of the spellcaster.

usually, magic items that required the caster to be below level 5 would emit a ” dim ” magic aura after they were made. it was invisible to the naked eye, but could be detected with a detection spell.

as for the ‘divine weapon’ level, it would emit a ‘blinding’ level of magical aura, like a strong flashlight directly shining on the eyes.

however, at that time, the players would usually only shed tears of happiness.

if it was a ” magic weapon, ” in addition to its own ” magic aura, ” about 30% of it would emit ” light ” that was visible to the naked eye, just like the zero-circle trick, ” illumination. ”

this was also the reason why it was more eye-catching to have a ‘magic weapon’. from then on, he could save on the alchemy item’ illumination staff ‘that was worth 2 gold coins.

but zhao xu didn’t say anything after hearing what the other person said.

Being in Mystra, he even knew that some of the more powerful Chambers of Commerce had directly found fifth-circle mages to cast magic permanency and solidify detection magic.

This made the initial screening of magical items, which was originally a difficult procedure, become a repeated operation on the assembly line.

If the identify skill was strong enough, as long as one could pass the level 30 challenge, they could also get some information about the magic item through the feedback of the knowledge origin.

Although ” detection magic ” was only a zero-circle spell, it could learn about the ” school of magic “, so mages could often judge a lot of things from this.

For example, the summoned creatures from another world were not real entities as projections. Under the detection of detection magic, they would show the characteristics of The Conjuring system.

Zhao Xu also knew that once a magic item was damaged, or if it had been affected by some special method, it would cover up its aura.

it was like the first circle illusion, ” magic aura, ” and the duration was calculated by days. it could cover the magic aura of an item and deceive those detection spells.

zhao xu had put on his rare magic items before.

Most people who wanted to get magic items would usually land their hands on these ” suspected items ” that could not emit ” magic aura “.

In the end, an appraisal spell that could sentence someone to death was too expensive. It cost 25 gold coins to hire someone to cast the spell, and 100 gold coins for the loss of materials.

Most of the time, the appraised items couldn’t even cover the 25 gold Service fee, let alone the 100 gold material fee. They could only be packaged again and brought back to the market to recover their value.

“you think this is a bronze gryphon statue, right?” Suddenly, Shen Nian said to Zhao Xu, ” there’s no need to waste your effort. A complete bronze Gryphon statue costs tens of thousands of gold coins.

This was Zhao Xu, who had just verified the results, and he had a curious expression on his face.

He thought that the other party had never come into contact with such a magical item before, which was why he was selling it here.

From the looks of it, Shen Nian had also suspected that this was a “bronze Griffin” before?

Her brother, Shen ze, had already become a Paladin. In the future, when he reached Level 5, he would obtain the ability to recruit special mounts from heaven and receive a ” powerful Mount ” gifted by the ” officials of heaven “. From then on, he would not have to walk on his own feet.

however, the gryphon itself had a challenge level of 4, which was definitely a powerful help for players in the early stages of the game. even paladins would not be inferior to gryphon in the middle stages of the game.

not to mention that rangers and druids, who already had the ability of ‘animal companion’, could seamlessly connect this magic equipment.

It wasn’t like Zhao Xu, who could only use it as a normal summoned creature once.

when she saw zhao xu’s confused expression, shen nian blushed and didn’t know if she should explain herself.

The mage player at the stall next to him saw this scene and smiled as he reminded, ” “can you check the base?”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately flipped through the statue in his hand.

The first reaction of most people when they got a mysterious item was to carefully search for clues on the item to see if there were one or two hidden passwords to activate it.

Only a wizard like Zhao Xu, who could use the level 0 spell “detection magic” as he pleased and then use the golem goggles as the level 1 spell “identification magic “, could be so unreasonable and use spells to judge.

it was like picking up a mysterious pill on earth, and others had to speculate based on its shape, search for its outer packaging nearby, and even court death to try it.

many adventurers who had obtained the mysterious ‘magic potion’ had done so.

but zhao xu, who had magic, had already used his magic to get the ‘composition analysis report’ of the pill and knew what it was.

It was only then that Zhao Xu noticed that there were obvious signs of damage at the bottom of the statue. Logically speaking, if there was a password, it would have been most suitable to be placed at the bottom.

Which meant that the password had been erased.

“this is the lowest level of ‘forgery’ in the grocery market, deliberately destroying the password and making the buyer think that the seller is stupid and can’t see the trick. After that, they turned back and tried to find a common password to crack it. Some even spent hundreds of gold coins to identify it in an attempt to directly obtain the real password.”

“Then they’ll be dumbfounded and realize that this thing is just a broken bronze weapon.”

“ai, in this grocery market, almost every household has a few of these statues. it’s a pity that there aren’t enough fools recently, so this thing is unsalvageable.” the wizard player was obviously bored of selling things, so he explained to zhao xu on purpose.

But at this time, Shen Nian had a trace of anger on her face and said with a red face, ” “my brother is not a fool.”

” yes, yes, yes. even his sister’s stall clearly has this kind of statue. for him to spend 50 gold coins to buy a similar statue, i can only say that he’s unlucky. ” The mage player couldn’t help but continue to complain.

Zhao Xu finally understood what was going on.

As a Saint Samurai and a spokesperson for Justice, Shen ze had actually been cheated once when he was still at a low level and had spent money to buy a fake bronze Griffin statue.

when he came back and saw that his sister’s stall had similar ” counterfeits “, he realized that he was not picking up a bargain, but paying a wave of iq tax.

Later on, in the temple of the God of justice and punishment in winter city, Shen ze became the core of the Holy guard Knights, which was the church’s central power. He was basically a candidate for the future ” leader.

it could be said that he was a giant figure of the church of the god of justice in winter city, and could be considered to be on the core training list of the church.

basically, after death, they would be taken to the god’s kingdom and wait to be reincarnated as an eternal oracle.

As expected, every Big Shot had suffered losses when they were young.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but think this.

“what’s your brother’s level?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask.

it was reasonable to say that a grade 1 paladin would not worry about the matter of the mount so quickly. they had not even earned money for the saddle.

[ Mount charge ] was one of Arthur’s most powerful close-combat techniques, especially when paired with a specialized chain. The total damage output would reach a terrifying level.

there was a time in the canyon where tie shi, who was wearing full-body armor and had a high defense, had used a long spear to push noah and the others into a messy situation. in the end, it was zhao xu who had to use his magic bullet, which ignored armor, to kill tie shi.

“he just reached level 2 yesterday.” Shen Nian explained.

at this time, the player who had not interrupted much was suddenly so surprised that he could not close his mouth. he looked at shen nian in shock. “no way, didn’t your brother just cancel his warlock account at the beginning of the month to become a paladin? how did you get to level 2 in just half a month?”

at this moment, shen nian grinned. “he’s more talented. yesterday, he was recruited to the ‘fallen star lake’ when he was just level 2.”

“D * mn, your brother Rong Nian’s leveling speed is pretty good. If he had read the ‘Ten Commandments for novices’ earlier and given up on being a Warlock to become a Paladin, he would have broken through Level 3 and broken history.” The mage player at the side couldn’t help but say in admiration.

“How can that be? among the mages, isn’t there still that Level 4 powerhouse who jumped Level 1 and looked down on us ordinary players? He’s there to guard the level rankings.” Shen Nian quickly pointed out this point.

“sigh, i don’t know how that big boss leveled up. poor me, i’m still a noob at the apprentice stage, i don’t even know where the door is. people really can’t be compared. now, they’re all advising me not to choose the specialization route.” the mage player lowered his head and sighed.

When Zhao Xu heard what the other party said, he couldn’t help but ask, ” ” ten commandments for beginners?

He didn’t even have the time to mention the keyword “Starfall Lake.”

when shen nian heard this, she smiled and said, ” yeah, my brother saw the last commandment,’if you are willing to sacrifice yourself for your faith, you will be elected as a Paladin.’ With this sentence, he canceled it on a whim. Otherwise, according to his personality, he would be at a loss for another half a month.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

originally, he had thought that he was living in mystra, and the butterfly storm he brought would have little effect.

Now, it seemed that those posts had already caused a huge ripple.

In his previous life, his acquaintance in winter city, Shen ze, had chosen the path of a Paladin half a month in advance by relying on this post.

in that case, how many players in the world would change their original choices because of his post?

zhao xu looked at the bronze gryphon statue in his hand and was about to start explaining.

Suddenly, a child who was selling newspapers on the street ran in and shouted, ” “Something big has happened. A mysterious third-circle sorcerer just appeared in the slightly drunk bar and killed ‘Wolan’ and her gang with a fireball spell. Now, they’re hiding in the temple after being resurrected.”
