The Truth of Magic

265 back to the church (1/3)

lux, who was attached to the back of zhao xu’s hand, also felt the changes in zhao xu’s level up.

Even if Lux had more than ten thousand years of experience, it was still difficult for her to understand why Zhao Xu had suddenly broken through on the spot.

if zhao xu had reached level 5 the moment he touched the teleportation gate, then it would have been fine.

however, he had broken through in an ordinary silence.

and it was a feeling of complete certainty.

At this time, lacus could not help but look at this Old House that had not been maintained for a long time. However, whether it was the cobwebs at the corners of the walls or the cracked blue bricks on the ground, she could not see anything special about it.

If not for the teleportation portal, lacus would never have set her eyes on these old and dilapidated houses.

And at this moment, only Zhao Xu knew how he had managed to level up.

After the first time his spell lasted for a long time with unruly heroism, he received an automatic recovery of 1 potential point every round.

this extraordinary ability affected him in the real world, making him more or less have similar characteristics.

And that night, after he had come into contact with grazite, one of the demon sovereigns of the abyss, and felt the divine power of the abyss that he was exuding, Zhao Xu had started to synchronize his stats in the game in the real world.

naturally, this also allowed him to possess a corresponding amount of real intelligence in the game.

With the power of enlightened spellcaster, Zhao Xu was constantly reviewing the spell structure he had learned.

His Foundation as a level-4 wizard was continuously strengthened.

so when he looked at this house that he had lived in in his previous life, zhao xu instantly felt the power of the life force that he had when he was a level 5 warrior.

This way, with his solid foundation and the addition of these days of experience and enlightenment, he instantly broke through the barrier of Level 4.

He had reached the level of a level 5 character.

At this moment, Zhao Xu closed his eyes and started to inspect the corresponding abilities that he would be able to obtain at Level 5.

His HP, immunity, and skill points were naturally increased accordingly, especially the skill points that came from his intelligence. He now had 6 points of intelligence.

at the same time, his first class path was to become a level 5 wizard after learning a level 3 spell.

Here, he would also obtain the professional ability of a Level-5 mage-an additional metamagic specialty.

As for the second class, Zhao Xu would become a level 1 cleric/Level 4 archivist.

this way, he could obtain the level 4 ability of an archivist, heart of still water, and from then on, his immunity against bewitching spells would be strengthened by two levels.

But that wasn’t the point.

The most important thing was that as a level 5 wizard, Zhao Xu now had a level 3 spell.

he began to have a chasm that ordinary players couldn’t cross.

from the moment he stepped into this level, he could learn a series of powerful spells.

For example, magic dispeller, which could dispel the enemy’s buffs, Phantom foal, which was faster in summoning mounts, stinky cloud, Eagle Eye and sharp ear, detection magic, suggestion magic, which could control enemies, and wind wall, which could counter long-range attacks.

There was also the ” acceleration technique ” that had been upgraded in all aspects, the ” flight technique ” that opened up the third dimension battlefield, the ” gaseous form ” that was a godly escape technique, and so on.

Even the famous ” fireball ” wasn’t the most powerful spell in the third circle.

this was because warriors could also deal damage.

however, warriors were unable to achieve the effects of a wide range of third-circle spells.

“Master, shall we go back to the battlefield and take a look?” lacus asked.

zhao xu shook his head. ” if we still can’t beat them with the buffs from those spells, then the players won’t be able to withstand the pressure from winter city in the future. we won’t be able to defend it. ”

In the past, he had to make a vague judgment based on his experience.

And now that he had an extraordinary memory and thinking ability, Zhao Xu instantly understood the entire political landscape of the northern Alliance.

Therefore, he could only wait for the players to break through the town’s defensive perimeter, but that was no longer a problem.

“then master, let’s hurry back to mystra to learn level 3 spells, and then attack the god of death’s divinity!” said lux excitedly.

At this moment, she could already see the shadow of Zhao Xu’s path to becoming a god.

“Lacus, you have to clean up the mess.” Zhao Xu laughed and comforted the weapon spirit of the divine weapon that he was carrying.

as he spoke, zhao xu immediately started simulating a teleportation spell.

In an instant, his entire figure disappeared, and he appeared directly in front of the church of the goddess of magic in winter city.

Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at the church that had been renovated after ” Archbishop soz ” took over his duties.

then, he smiled silently and walked past the crowd in front of him.

” why are there so many people in sisylvana’s church in the northern alliance? ” Lacus could not help but ask curiously.

Unlike the magic civilization in the South, the northern continent, which was poor in resources, believed in gods such as the God of War and the God of justice.

A brave and upright God would be able to gain the recognition of the living beings in this place.

” hello. if you’re here for today’s prayer, please go to the church on the left. ” At this moment, one of the nuns saw Zhao Xu walking towards the inner hall at the back of the church and quickly came over to stop him.

zhao xu immediately took out the holy emblem on his chest. ” i’m going to look for soz. please help me pass the message. ”

This sister from Arthur had just entered the church because of her family. When she saw the Holy emblem, she didn’t react for a moment.

” the holy emblem of the goddess. that means i’m a priest. ” Zhao Xu saw that the other party didn’t react in time, so he quickly said, ”

suddenly, the holy emblem in his hand emitted a gentle holy light, directly shining on the nun’s face.

“Master, you’re going a little too far with your show.” Lacus commented.

“I’m not in the mood for this.” Zhao Xu said, ” it appeared on its own. Maybe it had a special feeling in the goddess’s Church.

Generally speaking, when a priest proved his identity, he could activate the Holy emblem in his hand with his own aura and the ability to dispel undead creatures.

Zhao Xu had done the same thing in front of Reyan and soz before.

At this time, an apprentice priest saw this scene and quickly came over and scolded the nun: ” “This is also a priest of the goddess. Why didn’t you invite him to have a seat first? why did you have to make him waste his ability to activate the Holy emblem?”

At this moment, the middle-aged cleric apprentice turned to Zhao Xu and asked, ” goddess above, my name is somache. Is there anything you need us to do? ”

“i would like to meet with archbishop soz.” zhao xu said.

at this time, the trainee cleric in charge of the reception in the front hall suddenly said with a difficult expression, ” ” because of the incident at fallen star lake, archbishop soz has been busy receiving the higher-ups of winter city and the northern alliance. i’m afraid he won’t be able to find the time for a while. ”

as he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at zhao xu awkwardly.

Basically, as long as it was a foreign priest who visited winterday city, he would know them by heart.

the man in front of him was probably only a level 1 priest, and it would not be easy to meet archbishop soz so quickly at this time of the year.

“Show him this Holy emblem and let him know.” zhao xu said.

at a time like this, soz’s own holy emblem was much more effective than zhao xu’s proof of identity as a priest.

“Alright,” he said. That middle-aged cleric, somache, bowed down and took the Holy emblem from Zhao Xu’s hands. His eyes immediately widened and he almost dropped it from his hands.

the material of this holy emblem was a little ancient, but the middle-aged priest had a deep impression of it.

This was because he had also received this version of the apprentice priest’s Holy emblem back then.

the time of the holy emblem did not match the appearance of the man in front of him at all.

but!

On the Holy emblem, the Bauhinia flower, which represented the “Archbishop” level of jurisdiction of a church, was re-engraved.

it directly made somache shut his mouth and keep all the suspicious words back into his stomach.

He quickly bowed to Zhao Xu and then ran towards the back of the hall.

he knew that archbishop soz was having a meeting with the castellan of winter city, and even the northern alliance had sent an “envoy “.

because the goddess had suddenly descended a temple in fallen star lake that could allow players to resurrect, the higher-ups of wintercity had been alarmed.

He thought that the higher-ups of the church of the goddess, and even the goddess herself, had some special view of the Starfall Lake, which was why there was such a big wave today.

at this moment, the nun wanted to ask zhao xu to sit down at the side because this kind of announcement wouldn’t be made so quickly. at the very least, it would have to wait until the meeting was over.

however, just as the nun’s voice fell, she saw the middle-aged trainee cleric walking over with his head lowered.

he walked over to zhao xu and put on a humble expression, just like he did during morning prayers.

the middle-aged cleric apprentice was about to say the word “your holiness “, but he noticed that there were too many people around, so he quickly retracted his words.

“sir,” he said respectfully to zhao xu, “please move to the vip room at the back. archbishop soz is waiting for you there.”

the middle-aged man could still clearly remember what had just happened.

archbishop soz had left the meeting attended by the castellan of winterday city and the special envoy of the alliance just to meet this man.

besides, according to what he said, it was his majesty who had summoned the temple.

suddenly, a paperboy barged into the church. he panted and said, ” a large number of Frost Giants, their Winter Wolves, trolls, mountain giants, and fire giants suddenly appeared in front of Starfall Lake. However, they were all defeated by the players.

For a moment, the people in the church had looks of disbelief on their faces, and they were about to reprimand the child who dared to lie in the church of the goddess.

the nobles and rich merchants who had come to the prayer ceremony today knew the gap between the players and the frost giants.

the newspaper boy looked at the gazes of everyone present and hurriedly explained, ” because all the players on the plains suddenly received a dozen divine spells from the goddess!
