The Truth of Magic Chapter 251



251 Exchanging chips

It wasn’t the bottom of the lake, but underground?

Zhao Xu’s mouth fell open slightly when he heard this, but he didn’t say anything else.

He was now a top-notch priest, so he naturally couldn’t keep asking.

not to mention, in a flash, he had already figured out the sequence.

He guessed that it was the secret beneath the fallen star Lake that had attracted the meteors from outer space, thus reversing the original low-grade silver ore into mithril ore that was worth tens of thousands of gold.

It eventually led to the flourishing and Grand Starfall Lake, where people were flooding in today.

“it seems like i’ve found the right person?” zhao xu said.

he didn’t lower his guard at all.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had sneaked in and didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, he might not have been able to fight back just now.

frank was now a mithril construct, so even though he no longer had a human body, he still retained some of his humanity. the way he looked at zhao xu also became gentler, and he no longer had that sudden sense of hostility.

“Master, he should know about your background.” lacus added to zhao xu’s story.

“it’s not that bad, right?” Zhao Xu said to Lux in his heart, ” I just put up a stone wall.

“master, think about it. This isn’t just a simple stone wall, you’re the first to arrive!” lacus “delicate voice rose a lot.

the look in zhao xu’s eyes changed a few times.

it wasn’t that he didn’t understand, it was just that he was a little confused.

After hearing Lux’s words, he understood why the other party was afraid.

That’s right, he had used Swift burst to cast stone wall to slow down his opponent.

in fact, he could also choose to attack directly.

relying on the burst of agility, he was even faster than frank.

frank wasn’t guilty of the wall he had built.

Rather, it was his ability to arrive first despite launching later.

It was meaningless for a normal mage to know that the opponent’s starting move was mage’s disjunction.

he cast a stone wall first, and the other party would switch to other spells.

after that, he cast a spell on the stone wall. before he could finish casting the spell, someone else’s spell disjunction would have already landed on him.

So Zhao Xu’s ” wall-building intuition ” technique just now had sent the other party flying on the spot.

What threat could be compared to someone slowly casting a spell after watching what spell you were going to use and then releasing it faster than your spell?

especially with the burst of agility, it gave zhao xu a few precious seconds to think.

other mages might have just recognized what spell the other party had cast, and then the spell would have already descended.

How could he still talk about arriving first after starting?

when they saw the oncoming car, everyone knew that they had to jump away. it was just that no one had the ability to react, and there was not even enough time.

“The secrets of magic usually require an equivalent exchange. i wonder what price you’re willing to pay?”

At this time, wizard Frank took a sip of the strong coffee in his cup. The coffee beans were the specialty of the loen Kingdom, and the fragrance of the grass slowly spread.

“The price?”

when he heard what this ” master of the jade star ” or ” master of the mithril star ” said, zhao xu was a little amused.

The other party had been here since the birth of the Mithril mine. If he said that he was short of money, he definitely wouldn’t be short of money.

“what do you want me to pay?” Zhao Xu asked.

after hearing zhao xu’s tone of voice, wizard frank’s tone became even gentler. ” for example, the way you were able to cast the stone wall spell in an instant? ”

at this moment, he was watching zhao xu’s every move with all his attention and waiting for a response.

there were only the two of them in this treasure vault that was buried several levels underground.

However, the focus of both sides had never been on the other piles of mithril ore or jewelry in the treasure vault.

“master, you’re too greedy. beat him up.” lacus was suddenly filled with righteous indignation. ” how dare you covet master’s spell. ”

“lacus, are you serious?” zhao xu asked curiously.

“um, it’s fake.”

“it’s good that you know.” Zhao Xu said angrily.

The ” Emerald Star Master ” in front of him had clearly lost a level 5 casting ability, but he could still cast a level 9 spell, which meant that the other party had at least entered the legendary level!

although he didn’t necessarily study legendary spells, he could obtain legendary specialties at the legendary level. in terms of threat level, he had risen to another level.

Zhao Xu only had the abilities of a level 20 cleric at the moment, but he didn’t have the corresponding chain of specialties or class abilities.

In a situation where Lux was unable to transform, he did not dare to rush up and risk his life.

the opponent in front of him was much more dangerous than the sorcery giant.

“The secrets of magic usually require an equivalent exchange. I wonder what price you’re willing to pay?” Zhao Xu replied to what the other party had said.

in fact, he only meant one thing-the other party’s secret was not worth so much, and he had to pay more.

but it was a pity that ” kind ” creatures like angels weren’t good at ” lying “, so zhao xu could only act as himself.

Fortunately, the mage’s own ” observation ” skill was also not high level.

“Oh, then tell me, what else do I need to add?”

after hearing zhao xu agree, frank, who was a ninth-circle wizard, didn’t look angry at all. instead, he looked very happy, as if he was in a hurry to close the deal.

“master, you have the 4th-circle ‘swift burst’ and the 8th-circle ‘advanced swift burst’?” lacus asked.

“no, i didn’t.” Zhao Xu said.

right now, he had copied all the 1st and 2nd circle spells in his mind.

there was a ” secondary rapid explosion “, but it gave the least amount of time, and was not enough to cast a spell. it was of little strategic significance.

It was unlike advanced rapid explosion, which directly added an additional 6 seconds of “action time” that slowed down the flow of time.

it wasn’t enough to destroy the world, but it was more than enough to kill a mid to high-level team.

“master, how did you manage to use ‘swift burst’?” for the first time, lacus was also confused about zhao xu’s ability.

This was because his method was a little abnormal.

Those who were once in sync with the angel, even if they had potential points, could not use the miracle technique to simulate ” unruly heroism.

Because he had never come into contact with it, or even seen it.

Naturally, he could not simulate a spell that did not exist in his memory.

That was why lacus was so curious.

“I simulated most of the spells in the world in the final scroll. When I use miracle and wish, I’ll just have to recall the similar feeling.” zhao xu replied simply.

” wow, master, so you’re the one! ” lacus ‘voice stopped abruptly, as if she had touched something indescribable.

However, she quickly changed the topic. master, what should we do? we can’t give him what he wants.

zhao xu chuckled. ” i can’t give it to him even if he wants it. if i cast this spell, it’ll break the balance between the power of a wizard. ”

“Then master, you have to be careful. The other party has transformed into a structural creature, so it has a fatal weakness. however, just like the undead creatures, they are immune to numbing, intimidating, elemental damage, energy absorption, instant death effects, and so on. ”

Immunity to instant death meant that the one-hit one-kill giant scythe attack that Zhao Xu had specially prepared wouldn’t take effect.

zhao xu no longer put on an inscrutable front. he looked at the ninth-circle wizard frank and said coldly, ” “first, tell me what you have. if it’s too inferior, don’t embarrass yourself by saying it. you know the value of that spell better than i do.”

Frank could also tell that Zhao Xu was thinking about making a deal. Even though he was already a magical constructed lifeform and had hundreds of years of experience, he was still very excited.

zhao xu’s answer meant that he was really willing to hand over the spell.

“I, I have a ‘Mithril crystal’ here.” frank then took out a silver crystal ball from his dimensional bag.

“I almost got rich.” Lacus could not help but exclaim.

“Your Excellency should recognize this divine item. It was something I found with great difficulty in the star Mine. as long as this light ball was placed in any silver mine, it would automatically transform the ordinary silver mine into mithril mine. according to the size of this lump, it can definitely produce mithril worth millions of gold coins.”

” even if the composition of the ore vein is good, and if there is enough patience to mine it, it will not be difficult to produce tens of millions of gold coins. ”

Wizard Frank said this cautiously as he observed Zhao Xu’s expression. He was afraid that Zhao Xu wouldn’t like what he took out.

when zhao xu heard about the million gold coins, he was still a little dazed.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” But Zhao Xu immediately shook his head.

It was already the second day, and the number of spell-like abilities Zhao Xu had had was instantly refreshed.

he waved his hand and shouted, ” “i want 20000 gold coins.”

suddenly, the will of heaven and earth started to gather here, and zhao xu’s wish started to affect the order of this world.

A dimensional hole suddenly opened up above this ” treasure vault “, and then, with a clatter, brand new gold coins fell from the air.

slowly, they accumulated into a pile of gold coins.

Twenty thousand, not a single cent less.

Then Zhao Xu looked at Frank in front of him with a hint of disdain.

The underlying meaning was obvious-do I look like someone who lacks money?

upon seeing this, frank almost felt his mithril heart start beating.

No cost in casting!

how could he have expected that the other party would still be able to show him such a method?

frank himself had cast wish before.

he still remembered the intense pain he had to endure when his life force was being extracted from his body while he was casting the spell.

The priest in front of him actually cast a ” wish ” spell in such a wasteful way just to prove that he was not short of money.

perhaps to the other party, it was not a waste.

It was just like when he used a zero-circle magic trick.

It made him envious, but it also made him feel fear.

his remaining thoughts were suppressed to the bottom of the valley.

Zhao Xu saw that the other party’s expression kept changing.

He knew that the other party didn’t see through the fact that he was using the Angel’s daily spell-like ” wish ” instead of the arcane ” wish “.

All the swindlers in the world could not fool this group of high-circle mages with just a glib tongue.

only by using methods that they didn’t have could they be moved.

Zhao Xu continued to test the waters by saying, ” “What other equivalent chips can you offer?”

“There are!” Suddenly, Frank seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said.
