The Truth of Magic Chapter 376



376 Succubus Paladin

just like otakus who had a younger sister, they were guided by their natural genes, and most of them would have an instinctive disgust for sis-complex.

and zhao xu, who also had the same treatment of being ” childhood sweethearts, ” didn’t have the kind of romantic feelings that were usually seen in anime for yun xiaowei, who he had grown up with.

yun xiaowei, who could eat and cause trouble, was a burden to him.

at the beginning of the transmigration, when the humans on earth were brought to the other side of arthur by the meteorite rain, the sudden pressure of six to seven billion resources, as well as the new environment and the start of everything, was a huge problem.

This caused the humans on earth to be in a state of chaos for the first half of the year.

On one hand, they sought resources to feed themselves and build a roof that could shelter them from the wind and rain.

on the other hand, the ambitious players fought for power and profits, drawing in the lucky player groups, and the high-end players seeking to climb to the top.

Under all kinds of schemes and the harsh environment, even with the help of the gods of Arthur, many people were sacrificed.

Most of the people on earth had average or below average attributes, and they were just ordinary people who did not have any professional connections.

the lucky players who first came into contact with arthur didn’t always have a smooth journey.

Zhao Xu only found out that Xiao Wei was also an Arthur player after he transmigrated.

this was enough to show that after he left the small city to go to college, there was an invisible barrier between him and the originally familiar xiao wei, and the contact was not deep.

relatives who had been with each other for many years would also become strangers once there was a distance between space and time.

In her previous life, Xiao Wei was the kind of person who had great trust and responsibility. in the end, it led to her death, and she died protecting the civilians in her prime years.

just like the vast majority of paladins in the early stages of transmigration.

“You’re playing too?” Yun Xiaowei couldn’t help but ask Zhao Xu.

as she spoke, she saw the half-smile on zhao xu’s face, so she immediately sat up and said, ” you have to keep this a secret for me. i used the reason that the computer in my brain can make use of shallow sleep to secretly play arthur. if you expose me, i’ll kill myself with you. ”

yun xiaowei said with a vicious expression.

“Come on,” zhao xu grabbed the pillow under her feet and turned around to get a new pillow case from the closet. ” what level are you now? ”

“Is there a need to ask? we’re still in the training process.” Yun Xiaowei wasn’t embarrassed at all about the fact that she was still in an apprentice state and hadn’t even reached Level 1 even though the game had been open for three to four months.

It was precisely because the majority of the people were only level one or two.

So, he asked,”what level are you?” it became the default greeting in arthur’s offline circle, similar to ” do you play arthur? ”

” i don’t know why either. they say that the training of warlocks is easier than that of mages and priests, but i’m still stuck with the basic magic pets. ”

although I can only play this game for a few hours every day, my efficiency is too low. I can only watch my classmates happily kill monsters and level up. Yun Xiaowei frowned and said.

it was at this moment that zhao xu realized the predicament that the players at the bottom level were in.

although most of the players he had met before did not seem to be of high levels, they were at least the kind of elite players who had invested a lot of time.

It was one thing to be a noob, but it didn’t stop others from spending time and even money.

The largest group of players in the game was, on the contrary, players like Yun Xiaowei, who spent at most three hours a day and at least one hour a day.

after transmigrating, they were generally stuck in the quagmire of level one or two.

otherwise, if he really gathered an army of players with an average level of 5, the non-magician factions in arthur would be shocked.

compared to before, zheng xinyun, who had also gone through more than half a month of cleric training, might not be moving very quickly, but zhao xu was already slowly being able to feel the stable power of faith that she was sending over to him.

If it were not for the fact that he was too weak in terms of divine power and could not give positive feedback, Zheng xinyun could have become an official priest with his divine grace and would not have to continue to borrow power from the faith Camp.

Based on Zhao Xu’s calculations, the other party would probably be able to become an official priest in less than a month.

in her previous life, zheng xinyun had not been able to break through the last barrier to become a cleric even after three years of her cleric apprentice career.

In this life, with the help of her identity as a player, she only needed a short one and a half months to become a priest.

this was the use of the player identity.

as for the problem of stopping his childhood friend, yun xiaowei, zhao xu was also having a headache.

If it was a spell model, he could even casually give Yun Xiaowei some high-end content, the kind that could be explained in depth and in simple terms.

it had to be a magic pet.

his familiar was still an “item familiar,” which would give him skill points and life energy every level. he would only be able to awaken a new ability when he reached level 7.

“I’ll look up some shortcuts for you to awaken your magical pet.”

zhao xu said after some thought.

however, yun xiaowei did not believe him.

unlike the early stages where he could share everything, any method that could speed up the progress of his profession was worth thousands of gold.

even the internet celebrities and media accounts shared high-end content that ordinary people could not access. Because it was too high-end, he couldn’t use it, so he could only satisfy his ears.

However, Yun Xiaowei didn’t expose Zhao Xu.

perhaps, ever since she grew up and became sensible, she knew that the ” xu gege ” who once stood in front of her, shielded her from the wind and rain, and protected her in the battle against the wild children in the neighborhood was no longer the omnipotent person she had imagined.

It was just like how many people’s dreams were shattered for the first time when they realized how ordinary their “father” was.

however, zhao xu gave yun xiaowei a meaningful smile.

————-

When night fell, Zhao Xu finally regained the ownership of his room. He put on his helmet and logged back into Arthur.

Yun Xiaowei’s town was also 100 miles away from his winter city, so Zhao Xu couldn’t help her in the short term. He couldn’t help her in person.

after he had come into contact with the supreme magic storm, the two people who had followed him here had returned to mystra.

At the same time, Zhao Xu had also left behind a backup plan for himself. He also told Ellington to be his shadow, to watch over Zheng xinyun in secret, and to report back to him at any time.

the moment zhao xu realized that he was going to disconnect, he also realized that he needed the ” indigenous ” forces of power that were native to arthur, and he didn’t just need teammates who were just players.

when zheng xinyun was about to break through to become a cleric, zhao xu would naturally come back to mystra to do a simple debriefing for the first month.

Therefore, he wasn’t too worried about this.

but when he turned around and looked at the sacred succubus warrior vivian in front of him, he felt a little troubled.

At this time, Vivian, who was not wearing a helmet to cover her face, had a pure and charming face that constantly tugged at his heartstrings.

the other party didn’t have the stench of the demon race. instead, it emitted a fresh fragrance like milk.

“What is your true appearance?” zhao xu felt that he couldn’t continue like this, so he decided to let vivian reveal her true form.

so that he could ‘wake up’.

The easiest way to make people lose their fans was to know that idols actually needed to eat, drink, and defecate.

she wasn’t really a fairy who didn’t care about the mortal world.

By now, Zhao Xu knew that charm wasn’t the same as aesthetic beauty. In other words, it could be understood as ” attraction.

However, although the succubus priest he had met in the church looked ferocious and scary to him, she was definitely a first-class beauty in the eyes of demons.

after all, succubi had close to 30 charm points, so they were not to be trifled with.

that was why zhao xu needed the succubus to use her demonic appearance to wake him up. everything was just a pink skeleton.

“mr. zhongxia, this is my true appearance.” vivian’s eyes were shining.

“Do I look like an idiot to you?” zhao xu grinned.

However, Vivian shook her head at this time. Her shoulder-length golden hair suddenly brushed the tip of his nose gently.

” i was first created by the mother of evil, cangye. from the beginning, this is my appearance. ” weian said.

but at this time, she also showed a bitter smile.

one could only imagine what kind of discrimination a demon born with the appearance of a human would suffer in the abyss.

it was not difficult for the demon clan to see through the ability to transform.

is this the reason why the teacher said you were a vessel? ” zhao xu also remembered the term that antonya had mentioned before.

“That’s right.” vivian nodded and said, ” i was originally a vessel to imprison the goddess. ”

” capture the goddess, strip her of her divine fire, and inject divinity into my body. with my death, the will of the goddess awakens in my body, and this body becomes her cage. that’s why the mother of demons created me in the first place. ”

vivian said, her expression returning to normal.

it was as if the entire topic had nothing to do with him.

goddess, of course, did not just refer to the goddess of magic.

Instead, it was the goddesses, who numbered more than half of the gods.

no matter how delicious a mortal’s soul was, how could it compare to the alluring body of a goddess who had been stripped of everything?

Zhao Xu didn’t even need to think about what kind of cruel treatment the good goddesses, who had great enmity with the chaos abyss, would suffer if they fell into the hands of the demons.

at this moment, he couldn’t help but look at vivian with sympathy.

it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the succubi of the abyss were promiscuous. they were naturally machines that indulged in their desires.

And before Vivian was converted by Wuyue, didn’t she have such a history?

there was nothing wrong with vivian’s character back then.

now that he had become an orderly and kind paladin, he was probably extremely disgusted with his former self.

“Mr. Zhongxia.” it was at this moment that vivian seemed to have seen through the look of sympathy on zhao xu’s face.

she said in a slightly embarrassed tone, ” i’m pure. ”

a pure succubus?

these two words probably didn’t match.

In fact, when put together, it was the simplest joke.

It was as if Vivian knew that Zhao Xu didn’t believe her, so she couldn’t help but explain, ” because I’m a vessel, I can’t be unclean. That’s why the demon Lord Cang ye kept me by his side and didn’t let anyone touch me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use me to capture those goddesses.”

“So, Mr. Zhongxia, I’m not dirty at all.” Vivian said, word for word.

Arthur’s culture was not as open as Earth’s, and promiscuous behavior was blasphemy to many religions.

Keeping one’s chastity was the way everyone respected.

for the paladins, it was naturally dirty.

zhao xu looked confused. ” you didn’t fall into a cesspit, so why are you saying that it’s dirty? ”

but vivian didn’t reply to zhao xu. she just pouted and stared at him with her eyes wide open as if she could punch him through the internet.

But after listening to this explanation, Zhao Xu also understood what amazing things Ernest’s first follower, the powerful legendary Warlock, lady Wuyue, had brought back to the world.

No wonder the wizard Association had arranged for Antonya to come and talk to Wuyue.

It was just that Antonya had bigger plans for the future, so she had come to a compromise with Wuyue to some extent.

the name cang ye was one of the few demon lords that zhao xu had recently heard of.

She had appeared in the history of the abyss a long time ago, and there were even a few abyssal Lords who were descendants of Cang ye.

that’s why she had the title of the mother of evil demons.

There was no doubt that Vivian was probably one of Cang ye’s plans, but she was later destroyed by Wuyue, who even sent her to protect him.

“the weapon in your hand?” Zhao Xu asked.

he noticed that the sword in vivian’s hand was not ordinary. just by approaching it, he could feel the chill coming from it. it was the kind of cold feeling that penetrated the heart.

It was like this even in the middle of summer, not to mention the cold winter.

“the sword in my hand.”

at this moment, vivian stopped her kneeling position and handed the sword to zhao xu.

The cross on the hilt was inlaid with five rubies of different sizes, which were dazzling.

the one at the end was like a bright shooting star in the starry night, emitting a mysterious halo.

“It’s the legendary one?” zhao xu stroked the straight lines on the blade.

“That’s right, the Holy Avenger,” vivian said.

As if in response, the sword body buzzed.

zhao xu couldn’t help but nod.

It was actually a Paladin’s small artifact that had a market price of at least 120000 gold coins.

This long sword, if obtained by outsiders, would be an ordinary +2 cold iron long sword.

but in the hands of a paladin, after awakening their faith, it would become a ” +5 holy cold iron longsword. ” at the same time, the paladin and the surrounding people would receive a ” 5+ paladin level ” spell resistance.

Moreover, Paladins with long swords could activate and use a regional ” advanced dispel magic ” once every round.

It could be said that it was the dream goal of countless Paladins.

Zhao Xu also gently returned the favor.

at the same time, he had already noticed that after carrying his “headband of intellect” for more than 24 hours, he finally received this prompt-

[ adventurer zhongxia, your intelligence has received a +6 enhancement (headband of intellect) ]

in an instant, his attributes soared to a full 28 points.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had finally become the most intelligent player in the game.

In an instant, his spell slots also rose with the tide, and the difficulty of his spell immunity also increased by three levels.

Countless people wanted to obtain an attribute increase, but it was the most difficult. The only thing many people could rely on was the opportunity to obtain attribute points at Level 4.

Now that Zhao Xu had received such an upgrade, it was no small matter. The originally complicated spell model had become clear once again.

“Let’s go. We’ll bid our farewells to the teacher first.” even though zhao xu had already returned to the floating city, he knew that he didn’t have much time left.

And Vivian immediately returned to her role. She followed Zhao Xu around, as if she was protecting him.

“You knew my mentor before?” zhao xu asked curiously.

vivian, on the other hand, nodded.

anyone who has experienced the Holy War of the end will know her. vivian said. before my Lord left this world, he used the fall of the magic Empire as the price to accumulate an amazing ‘secret treasure’.

” it’s to get a promise from the gods. after he leaves this world, he wants the young lady to live through the final holy war. ”

” it was a war that divided the gods ‘forces and decided the path of humanity towards becoming the master of arthur. ”

” how did that arcane lord die? ”

Zhao Xu suddenly asked this question. The answer to this question had never been recorded in any literature.

At this time, Vivian’s eyes were full of tears.

“my lord is not dead.”

he just disappeared at that time. He just mysteriously disappeared in Arthur.

“just like how he mysteriously appeared.”
