The Truth of Magic

273 The fourth reward

“Let’s go back,” he said.

but at this moment, zhao xu was holding the hourglass with a golden base in front of his chest as he shouted.

suddenly, the sand at the bottom of the glass bottle flowed in reverse, and only when it was all back at the top of the bottle did it slowly pour down again.

At this moment, Zhao Xu realized that his entire body was in the stage where he was about to cast blood oath.

He immediately stopped the casting process. he canceled the spell.

Then, he looked at the middle-aged man who was still unconscious and immediately cast a spell to whisper, ” “i want to remove the curse on the person in front of me.”

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, a powerful and mysterious power appeared out of thin air and invaded the middle-aged man’s body. It started to absorb a strange power from his body that had the power of curses.

“master, thank you for your quick reaction.” said lux.

after zhao xu used his wish spell to remove the family command spell he had cast on the man in front of him, he just waited in silence.

even after six seconds, there was no new mission notification.

obviously, the current ” historical scene ” had returned to the state when he first entered the door after he used the time backtrack talisman and the ” wish ” to erase the previous spells.

if zhao xu had reacted a little slower just now and hadn’t dispelled the family command spell, there would have been a risk that he would’ve ended up with a settlement.

only the level 3 curse removal, wish, and miracle could remove the family command.

if they only used remove curse, they would have to be at a higher level than zhao xu’s spellcaster.

in the final scroll, zhao xu was equivalent to a level 20 spellcaster. if he wanted to go any higher, he’d have to go all the way to the legendary level.

“master, shall we look for other clues?” said lux.

It was at this moment that she realized that Zhao Xu had intentionally used the time backtrack talisman to rewind time and study a dungeon that he had already cleared.

they already had the key anyway.

“however, this mage in history was a ruthless person.” Lacus commented silently.

“he is indeed a ruthless person.” zhao xu agreed.

In fact, he had only cast two spells and was still waiting for them to take effect when the system notified him that he had passed.

there was no need to drag it out to the final settlement 12 hours later.

It was precisely because this scene was just a replay of a certain part of history.

and his actions were the same as the mage who had taken revenge.

therefore, he immediately cleared this scenario with full marks.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu started to be on guard.

A level eight ” family command spell ” combined with a level five ” blood contract ” was a spell that could completely annihilate an entire family.

The entire family, apart from facing the massacre of their blood relatives, was still alive. Even if they killed the other party, they would still have to face the revenge of their relatives who had become undead creatures.

sure enough, when a mage had a monstrous hatred, the destruction they could cause was beyond anyone’s imagination.

then, master, what kind of research and experiments should we do next? ” lacus asked.

Zhao Xu had to load the file again just now in order to prepare himself for entering these historical scenes again.

zhao xu muttered to himself for a moment as he looked at the two people lying on the bed. he muttered to himself, ” “there are flaws in the spell itself, you know that, lux?”

“i know, master. The 4th-circle secondary command has a number of days, while the 6th-circle command is permanent until the mission is completed. However, they can suffer ‘disgust’ and 3d6 (3-18) points of damage every day as a price to refuse to carry out the mission.” Said Lux.

“That’s why I suggest that you add a ‘blood oath’. in this way, even if the other party dies from injury, other than the curse being transferred to their blood relatives, they can also become undead creatures to continue carrying out their mission.”

zhao xu nodded when he heard this. ” then, lacus, did you notice the time gap between the two of you? ”

“even after i cast the ‘family command’, there will still be no mission completion notification after six seconds. When I paired it with blood oath, I immediately activated the reward within six seconds.” Zhao Xu said.

” this means that the ‘family command’ alone can’t even get one ability. ” lacus finally understood what zhao xu meant.

“not necessarily. it’s possible that the two rewards will only be given out after 12 hours. however, this also means that ‘blood oath’ must have an unusual meaning to this mission. we may not be so lucky to find the correct way to clear the game every time in the future.”

this is also the reason why I specifically backtracked the mission just now. I think it might involve the mechanism of the scene itself.

“wow, my master is really awesome.” Lacus immediately started praising Zhao Xu in her heart. I can’t believe we’re going to cheat right into researching the mechanisms.

but zhao xu had already filtered out what lux was saying.

Zhao Xu’s rewind time talisman’s ability that could be used once a day had already been used up.

so in the end, no matter what, he had to use the family command spell and blood oath to end the mission.

It would save him the trouble of having 0-2 abilities.

at this moment, zhao xu cast the level 6 spell ” freeze ” on the two sleeping people.

In an instant, a gray-yellow circle of light shone directly on the two people on the bed, but the other party, who was still asleep, did not notice it.

” then let’s go somewhere else. under the effect of this spell, they will be paralyzed even if they wake up within 20 hours. ”

after he finished speaking, zhao xu switched back to his spirit body state and continued to explore.

The middle-aged man was Zhao Xu’s target, so he naturally had to go back and find him to deal with him.

However, in the next hour of searching ...

zhao xu still couldn’t find any other clues. it was as if there wasn’t even a single trace of magic left behind in the castle.

but zhao xu still managed to control a few more people and brought them all to the middle-aged man’s room.

zhao xu thought that the maidservant was innocent, so he put her in another room. now, there were only three men from the same race left in the room.

when he saw this, zhao xu said, ” lacus, the target of the command spell is only one person, so this family can be very clear. As long as there’s a ‘healing belt’ to cover the cost of damage for not carrying out its mission, and if the other party can withstand the disgusting state, the curse can be controlled until they die of old age.”

Lacus nodded. Casting a Curse Removal Spell, a level 9 wish spell, or a miracle spell was something that could only be found by luck.

This was also the reason why the various noble Lords and Royal forces in Arthur maintained good relations with the church and regularly sent their descendants to serve the gods every year.

“So, master, what are you going to do?” lacus asked the three of them.

“that’s right.”

chain spell-family command.

Zhao Xu immediately cast a chain spell and the Supreme magic spell, family command.

chain-casting could turn a spell that was effective on a single target with a casting distance above contact into a spell that was effective on multiple targets. it required a price higher than three circles.

suddenly, the three people in the room were all under the control of zhao xu’s family command spell.

after zhao xu was done, he cast blood oath, which was a chain spell.

This saved him the trouble of using them one by one to affect the outcome of the scenario. At the same time, he changed the factor of effect to three people.

what the opposing family had to face were three “targets” who had been ordered to kill everyone in the family.

This eliminated the possibility of fully controlling one person and interrupting the transmission of the curse.

within the castle, the number of infected individuals had increased from one to three. the difficulty of controlling them had also increased tenfold.

“Master, you’re the one who’s really ruthless.” Lacus didn’t expect Zhao Xu to increase the price either.

“that’s why the royal family has to carefully please the church and the wizard association. otherwise, if someone were to place such a curse on them, they would be exterminated in less than three years.” Lacus said with emotion.

“even if this spell has always been sealed.”

at this moment, zhao xu also noticed that the notification from before had appeared again.

[prompt: adventurer zhongxia’s response is more powerful than the historical scene. He will receive four rewards. The scene has ended.]

“Wow!” Lacus couldn’t help but exclaim at this moment. There was actually an extra reward?

“lacus, don’t be so excited. this is just an opportunity for us to learn. it’s not like we’re really giving away a specialty for free.” Zhao Xu was already very calm.

However, he also cleared up the train of thought for this scene.

He had done it the same way as the original owner in history, taking all three rewards. If he exceeded them, he would get an extra reward.

at this moment, the scene in front of zhao xu had already shattered into nothingness, and he was now back in the scroll space.

[supernatural ability simulation ],[martial arts learning ],[Iron Heart strength ], and [Arcane Mastery] were all in the [available talents] list in his character card.

In other words, once he had an empty talent slot, he could turn the reserve talents in the list of available talents into official talents.

It was equivalent to him skipping the stage of “learning specialties “, and he did not have to waste time Learning” Scribe Scroll “or awakening” abilities “like he had before.

there was also no possibility of failure like when he first learned ‘spell endurance’.

and the fourth reward quietly appeared in zhao xu’s character summon card’s item list.

The thought bottle recipe.

“This bottle can restore a person’s original level.” lacus commented quietly.
