The Truth of Magic Chapter 97



Chapter 97 departure

timing was indeed a very subtle term.

the timing was referring to the time to excavate the lost heritage of the itre dynasty.

whether it would be the time to excavate ernest’s secret, it was still unknown.

At this moment, Zhao Xu also noticed that Noah and the other seven were standing by the force field barrier. He saw that he had been talking to wizard Ryan calmly, and his emotions had calmed down quite a bit. He was just standing there and watching quietly.

He knew that it was time to leave, so he said, ” ” since the big boss of the association already knows about this, i don’t have to bring this information back, do i? ”

To be honest, Zhao Xu really didn’t want to get involved with this secret too early.

He wouldn’t be able to get anything and would even get himself into trouble.

If this kind of thing was leaked, they would all be suspected.

“Well, you’re thinking too much. I had already reported this news to the Association a month ago. After waiting for a month and no one came, I was sure that they had already known about this. and you don’t think that a mage has to go out and find a messenger to pass a message, do you?”

zhao xu just nodded. he was just worrying for nothing.

“however, i do have something to give you.” after saying that, wizard ryan took out a palm-sized booklet from his dimensional bag.

there are some conjectures and analysis I’ve written about that hidden treasure in there. Help me pass it to Antonya, and then tell her that we’re even.

After Zhao Xu took it, he asked, ” didn’t you already tell the Association about this? ”

logically speaking, someone of antonya’s level should have known about it.

“The Association doesn’t just belong to your final scroll. she would definitely find out eventually, but not now. I’m giving her this so that she can make her own decisions.” Clayon said indifferently.

Can’t you just send a message to Antonya directly? ” zhao xu asked in surprise.

even though he was a player, he could still revive if he died on the way, so he should be able to hand the book over to antonya.

however, it was still a little risky to hand over such a thing to him.

even if the possibility of him leaking the secret was low, it was still possible. although this wizard clayon had a perfunctory personality, he should be quite a reliable person by nature.

I only decided to tell Antonya because I saw you. mage clayon said with a smile.

she was looking at him like he was her target, and zhao xu felt a little scared. he couldn’t help but ask, ” “What does it have to do with me or Antonya?”

Even though Ernest’s Secret was very tempting, based on his understanding of Antonya, she wouldn’t even bother to look at things that didn’t belong to her.

Antonya will tell you when we get back. Wizard Clayon returned to his original mysterious appearance.

zhao xu hated talking to these mages the most. they all liked to be in the dark, and they were just like fortune-tellers, waiting for the right moment to tell him what to do.

then let them go. We’ll be leaving. We’ll seal the door later. zhao xu said.

“sealed? i’ll hide this place later. if you still have the ability, come in and try. However, you guys went the wrong way. When you guys went down the platform, the path on the left leads to the hidden underground city. However, the trash inside has already been cleared by the previous wave of adventurers, so it’s a waste for you to go there.”

Zhao Xu didn’t expect this to be the result. He was a little confused.”This isn’t the underground city?”

” definitely not. this is a base i built. ” wizard ryan said.

” but isn’t there a room filled with the demon lord’s name and an altar outside? ” zhao xu asked in surprise.

At the same time, he was also on guard. If the mage in front of him, Clayon, could not explain himself, then he would have a different attitude.

Worshipping the Demon King was not something that could be easily dodged.

“That altar was set up by my former companions.” Clayon said dejectedly, ” I was also observing how they obtained that power through the altar and studying how to cut off this connection, so I kept it. After all, they would recover after dismantling it. You can report this to the temple later, they know about this.”

when he heard this, zhao xu didn’t continue asking.

“by the way, who is your dark?” Wizard Leo suddenly changed the topic.

“Dark?” this was the first time zhao xu had heard this question.

“didn’t antonya tell you? when you guys were choosing the person to pass on the final scroll, one of you did it in the open, while the other did it in the dark. you’re a bright esper, so there’s another dark esper.”

the first thing zhao xu saw was wang ningwei, but he immediately denied it. she wasn’t from the final scroll.

“Hehe, be careful. Usually, this kind of light and darkness would be chosen to be very similar and relative.”

“what do you mean?”

“even if you’re an adventurer from earth, the other party is most likely an adventurer from earth too.” the mage clayon smiled slyly. ” before you die, the other party’s mission is to protect you. ”

when he heard this, zhao xu didn’t really take it to heart. he didn’t believe that there would be players like this in this world.

“Alright, you can leave now.” wizard ryan said.

it was at this moment that zhao xu realized that all seven of his teammates had been moved to his side.

everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted. they quickly raised their weapons and aimed at wizard ryan.

“it’s a misunderstanding. this place is taken. we just barged in by mistake. everyone, please leave first. we’ll explain later.” zhao xu quickly explained.

after this experience, everyone basically trusted zhao xu a lot, so they also let go of their weapons a little.

But Fengye couldn’t help but ask Zhao Xu, ” “What’s your profession?” It was as if they were afraid that Zhao Xu was also an illusion.

zhao xu didn’t think that fengye would still be able to stay clear-headed, but he was still quite careful. he looked at wizard leo and said angrily, ” “Teacher.”

however, wizard clayon did not expose him. he stood there elegantly as he waited for them to leave.

“then let’s go.” noah also understood that if the underground city had an owner, then they would be courting death if they barged in. it was rare that the owner was not calculative, so it would be best if they could leave with dignity.

“How do we avoid this?”

Zhao Xu looked at the location of the rune cannon tower that had already been hidden and asked wizard Leo.

“it’s fake. you can just walk over.” the mage laughed smugly.

“Fake?” everyone was in disbelief.

” how is that possible? those spells were clearly … ”

Suddenly, in front of them, a devil statue appeared in the air, and then the devil head opened its mouth, and a fireball seemed to be shooting out.

“Ah,” he said. Seeing this terrifying scene, everyone dodged in all directions.

However, nothing happened.

zhao xu finally understood. ” you were the one who eavesdropped on our conversation. i told you about the rune cannon towers, so you used an illusion to make us think that there were really rune cannon towers here? ”

seeing that zhao xu had hit the nail on the head, wizard leo laughed triumphantly. ” that’s right, i’m just letting you know not to spout nonsense when you’re on an adventure in the future. As for the spells that were thrown at me, they were cast by the invisible me. There’s nothing I can do about it, I just happen to have four 3rd tier magic wands.”

zhao xu looked at leo in annoyance and cursed him for being so childish. it was up to leo to use up the energy in his wand however he wanted, but the energy in zhao xu’s wand wasn’t free.

“As for the trapdoor pit, I transferred it from the other dungeon. This spell is cool, right? you can leave now, i’ve already transferred back.”

zhao xu couldn’t be bothered with wizard leo anymore, so he pulled his teammates along and left without even looking back.

hey, you still haven’t told me how you knew I was using an illusion.

After the meeting, wizard Ryan realized that Zhao Xu hadn’t answered his first question.

“when you used disintegrate, my spell identification didn’t work, so i guessed that you didn’t cast any spells at all.” Zhao Xu’s voice came from around the corner.

on the other hand, wizard clayon’s face was filled with desolation as he thought to himself, ” so it was a wild guess. This was master Ryan’s ‘concealed casting’ technique, which made it impossible for you to identify spells and counter them.

However, after a while, his expression became a little more serious.

that kid had only wanted to attack him, and he had already leveled up by one.

This kind of luck that seemed to have the power of heaven and earth at the same time had also frightened him. Otherwise, he would not have stopped immediately after being exposed.

last time, he had used an illusion to make the group of adventurers kneel and cry before letting them go.

“sigh, i’m not in a position to care about these things. it’s better to let miss itre antonya worry about it.”

“I’m yawning.” A beautiful girl in a cloak reading a book in the library felt a little cold and couldn’t help sneezing.

however, her reading speed was very fast. after a glance, she immediately flipped through the book, as if she had a photographic memory.

The purple-eyed black-haired girl had a badge on her robe that had been blessed with the “spellcaster level +1” ritual. Her name was “asvich” on it.
