The Truth of Magic

274 The battle in the forum (1/2)

when zhao xu went offline, it was only ten in the evening.

when lacheti pointed it out, he immediately understood the function of the bottle.

spellcasters had many ways to consume their own level, especially some creations that consumed a huge amount of their own life energy.

Restoration could only recover the negative level caused by the monster’s absorption of energy. It could not recover the damage caused by the creation.

the thought bottle could also be used to store thoughts. for example, zhao xu could put his friend’s name into the bottle. that way, he would only know that the bottle had his friend’s name on it, but he wouldn’t know what the name was.

at the same time, zhao xu could also use the bottle to store his memories. for example, his memories before he was reborn. this way, zhao xu would only know that he had been reborn, but the details of his rebirth would only be in the bottle.

No matter if it was a “thought” or a “memory,” he could only store five of them. Once he stored them, these thoughts would completely disappear from Zhao Xu’s mind, and he wouldn’t be able to use any spells to recover them.

zhao xu could also use the bottle as a backup spell book. as long as he prepared the corresponding spell in his mind, he could use up the spell and store it in the bottle.

However, the bottle’s most powerful function was still the “locking level” that Lux mentioned, or “locking experience “.

Zhao Xu only had to pay a part of the price of energy, which was equivalent to the cost of creating a magic item that cost around 10000 gold coins, and then he would be able to copy his current energy state into the bottle.

even if he were to discover that he had lost his level, he could immediately recover by touching this bottle.

other than some excessive uses, the most common method was resurrection.

Except for the 9-circle complete resurrection spell, most of the other methods would lose their levels.

and zhao xu could use his temporary spell to store these revival methods on his body in the future, just like how antonya had used temporary spells to cast the level 9 “body transformation” on him.

And the stored spells couldn’t be repeated, so even if [resurrection of the dead] was only a level 5 spell, Zhao Xu would still consider it.

So, Zhao Xu had already done his homework. When he could cast it again, he would use temporary spells to build up a resurrection chain. Then, he would use complete resurrection, soul summoning, return protocol, final breath, rebirth, resurrection, death contract, resurrection of the dead, and cloning to build up his own resurrection system.

If a real enemy could take down 10 of his health in one go, he would just accept it.

this was also the reason why high-level spell casters were difficult to kill.

at this moment, zhao xu realized that zhang qi wasn’t in the dormitory, and neither was chen sinan.

After he took out his phone and saw Zhang Qi’s message, he realized that everyone would be in the dining hall tonight.

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment. Then, he remembered that in his previous life, after Zhang Qi and the others had finished the battle of fallen star Lake, they had also gathered at the dining hall at night.

There were hundreds of Arthur players in Zhao Xu’s school, so he couldn’t arrange for a normal KTV room or restaurant. In a hurry, he had to arrange for a celebration party in the dining hall.

zhao xu laughed. he didn’t play games in his previous life and had even accompanied zhang qi to this celebration party from the beginning to the end.

On the other hand, he had led half of the battles at fallen star Lake in this life, and he had almost missed tonight’s celebration party.

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu also changed his clothes and went to the cafeteria next door.

when he reached the dining hall, zhang qi, who was already a little drunk, saw zhao xu and immediately waved at him.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he quickly walked over and went over to Zhang Qi’s table.

At this moment, Zhang Qi put down the glass bottle of Budweiser in his hand and walked over to Zhao Xu. He put his arm around Zhao Xu and said, ” “Young master Xu, do you know how happy I was today? We’ve finally won this wave.”

As he spoke, he could not help but stand up and shout, which directly attracted the resonance and response of the other tables.

At this moment, Zhang Qi’s girlfriend, Feng GE, quickly came over to pull Zhang Qi and Pat his back.

“How much did you drink?” zhao xu asked as he looked at the box of empty bottles under the table. feng ge was too embarrassed to open his palm and tell zhao xu that there were five bottles.

however, zhao xu’s attention was immediately taken away by the large television in the dining hall. a video was currently playing on it.

countless players flew into the air from the snowy plains and then launched a wave of attacks at the frost giants on the ground.

“when was this video released?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help but ask.

after the battle that day, he had collected the teleportation portal and returned to the floating city. he had used teleportation to travel the entire time.

In the afternoon, he would be Learning Level 3 spells in the final scroll space, while Zhang Qi and the others would be occupying Starfall town.

when he went offline, zhao xu didn’t even have the time to check the trending posts on the forum.

“Around evening.” At this moment, cui Lu, who was sitting across from Zhao Xu, said, “it was also released by the game planning team in the name of the Temple of Life.

cui lu and fang xiyue, the class monitor, drank a few glasses at the same time, and their faces were also slightly red.

All the Arthur players in Zhao Xu’s school were excitedly sharing what they had seen and heard about the battle today in the dining hall, and they were reminiscing about it.

The “battle of fallen star Lake” in his previous life had also been uploaded. However, the focus of the video was more on the players ‘tragic feelings, where they would pick up their weapons from the ground and clench their teeth as they killed their enemies in the battle of despair.

on the contrary, it didn’t have the epic feeling that the players had today.

Arthur’s players couldn’t replay or stream the game, so the players only thought that these scenes were a means of the official game.

Zhao Xu knew that this would require the intervention of at least a God-level power to be able to film in multiple areas and then send it back to Earth. This was a way to “promote” the game.

However, the cost of such a method was high, so there were not many live videos of Arthur in his previous life.

It was only two months after the game’s introductory video that everyone saw Arthur planning to release the game’s war video.

” sigh, it’s just strange. most of the treasures left in the mine owners ‘treasure vaults are only weapons. there’s a lot less treasure. it doesn’t match the confessions of the mine owners. ” Fang Jiyue said with a sigh. After she joined the battle, she was mostly responsible for logistics.

so this time, the counterattack alliance was counting the spoils of the battle to compensate the players ‘losses, and she was also involved as a supervisor.

it must be that some of the mine owners pocketed it for themselves. When they saw that the battle map was not right, they ran away. A student complained.

that’s right, that’s right. Damn it, don’t let me see you. Otherwise, I’ll cut down those bandits. the barbarian du nan in the game was also angry.

Compared to weapons and equipment, everyone still preferred shiny gold coins in their pockets.

and as the ” main culprit ” who had taken away a huge sum of money, zhao xu’s face turned red, which was a rare sight. he immediately took a bottle of budweiser, opened it, and took a light sip to hide his emotions.

For that treasure vault, he had almost filled up his alternate dimension backpack.

“sigh, no matter how overboard he is, can he be more overboard than that big shot ‘starry sky reflection’?” I’ve worked hard and finally reached Level 2 today, ” Zhang Qi said. He was drunk. I didn’t expect that there would always be a higher mountain. Oh, it’s three mountains higher than me. I’ve reached level five directly.”

“Yeah, I feel like he’s done all the cheating in the world. It hasn’t been long since the last announcement on the forum that their levels jumped empty, and now they’ve jumped empty again!” One of the students sighed with envy.

” the wizard class hasn’t even reached level 3 yet. there are more level 3 players than there are in this dining hall. ” At this time, after drinking a few sips of beer, everyone’s emotions came together and they couldn’t help but ” criticize ” the account ” starry sky reflection.

however, their expressions were still mixed with admiration. speaking of which, they had also won this battle under the guidance of the other party.

“alright, just drink your wine. According to the speculations of the forum, I’m afraid that the divine Art that everyone used today was more or less a bridge made up by the other party.” at this time, a student from the next table came over with a bottle of wine and said.

this student was familiar with most of the people at zhao xu’s table. he was junze, the class monitor of the class next door.

As a Knight, he registered to join the game on the first day after he saw the video of Arthur’s cavalry charge.

he had also participated in the war today and had a lot of first-hand information.

“there’s already an analysis post on the forum. it’s said that the church of the goddess of magic in winter city actually hasn’t made any specific moves today, and has been holding meetings all this time. That’s why it’s definitely strange that the goddess of magic’s divine spell can still appear on the battlefield at this time.”

“could it be that ‘starry sky reflection’ knows the wind incarnation of the god we met that night?” cui lu muttered to herself.

“I don’t know about that. however,’starry sky reflection’ is now the most searched name on the forum. he’s even surpassed the previous god,’dongcheng kun’. ”

“In a few days, the forum will be selecting the top ten players, and there will be interviews. I’m afraid there’ll be a fight between these two gods to see who will be ranked first.”

“the immortals are fighting.”

I’m on the side of ‘starry sky reflection.’ Putting aside the fact that he’s the only Level 5 boss in the game and that we’re able to turn the tide of the battle of fallen star Lake, the other party’s strategic plan must be a key part.

” heh, i’ve seen the ten commandments for beginners in ‘east city god’. i only recognize this goddess. ”

seeing that everyone’s topic had suddenly changed to which of the two gods should be the top ten, they began to argue.

As the person involved, Zhao Xu took out his phone and opened the forums to start sweeping the trending posts.

[ is it really that hard to admit that the level 5 player ‘starry sky reflection’ is number one? ]

[ i’ll admit it if you’re one level higher, but two levels higher is cheating! [ skill-type player Dongcheng Ling should be the one who should be ranked first! ]

zhao xu saw that these two posts about fighting each other had instantly become the two most popular posts at the moment. they even overshadowed the most popular post about the battle at fallen star lake on the forums.

he suddenly felt a little strange. the discussion forum had clearly speculated that the two were the same person through ghost strike yesterday. why did the tide change today?

zhao xu had no choice but to use his original forum account, xu, to post a post-

[ can’t these two be the same person? ]

In an instant, he received a message: Hello, user ‘Xu’. As your post has no official evidence and only has one sentence, it will be marked as a’ fake post ‘and will be locked.

Zhao Xu immediately looked at his ” evidence “, which was his alternate account, ” Dongcheng kun, ” and didn’t say anything.
