The Truth of Magic

Chapter 608 The Player's Relatives

After figuring it out, Zhao Xu's actions also accelerated.

At present, his most urgent task is probably to find the portal that can leave this "mysterious cave" as soon as possible, and then he will use it as a base, and then climb up to attract other high-end players.

Now that he was in the team, relying on his "charisma" and "negotiation" skills, he was enough to control the current team, so there was no need to rush to reveal his identity.

All along, Antinoya taught him that - compared to spells, secrecy is the real barrier for a mage.

In mage battles, the reason why information comes first is to know the opponent's hole cards so that they can target them.

A swaggering mage is no different from a fool.

This is why Zhao Xu has always pursued outdoor adventures and did not reveal his identity unless necessary.

To put it bluntly, he no longer has the intention of pretending to be with the ants. How can he be worthy of his enhanced fly swatter if he doesn't beat the tiger.

Even in order to protect Antinoya, Ernest directly cast the spell of "forgetting" on her name.

The freshmen in the Floating Void City one after another thought that this mysterious female mentor was not much different from their age.

So before Zhao Xu could use the "Projection Technique" of mage Qihuan and poet Liuhuan, he might not be willing to give a speech in Yanan's public place.

"Second ring scroll?"

The young male mage who just tried to find him to replace him said in surprise, "Mr. Lone Star, you must know that a second-level spell scroll is worth 150 gold coins. Even if the spell disappears due to copying, the cost of re-copying a second-level spell is only 100 gold coins."

"And keep the 'magic scroll', isn't it better to be in a hurry?" The young mage man added. At this time, he still has an owl on his shoulder, which can strengthen the third-level reconnaissance in a dark environment.

Combined with the level 6 reconnaissance enhancement brought by the "Vigilance" feat, it can be said to be the key element for the survival of the early mage.

"To me, time is more valuable," Zhao Xu said.

As far as the ability of "Wise Heart Spellcaster" is concerned, he will not reveal it.

But to be honest, there is no need to prepare a magic book. According to Antinoya, it is very "forceful".

From now on, there is no need to bring a large number of magic books. The most common blank spell book has only 100 pages of space, but the book already weighs 3 catties, and it costs as much as 15 gold coins.

"Yanan." At this time, the young mage also showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing the other party's heartbeat, Zhao Xu continued to let go.

He believed that his words would slowly spread after these people went out.

"At this time, Yanan has the 'Mage Association' that migrated from Falling Star Town, so in the future, the mage branch of the entire barbaric dead land must also be in Yanan."

"Mages from other kingdoms will not rashly enter the wild and dead place to report their duties. By then, the entire branch will basically only be player mages."

"And I can tell you a piece of news in advance. The mages who have arrived in Yanan can normally perform their rights in the Mage Association, that is, you can get two second-level spells for free when you advance, and you can get them in Yanan."

Naturally, the premise is that the other party wants to transfer the membership to Yanan.

For example, the registered membership of Zhao Xu's previous Mage Association was affiliated with Mystra. Later, he was appointed as the president of the Falling Star Town Mage Association, and then transferred to the Falling Star Town Mage Association.

While the young mage was hesitating, another adventure team suddenly appeared at the front, scaring the uncle wanderer at the front.

The current wanderer no longer uses the "resurrection stone" to explore the way, but uses the "life" to explore the way.

They are not afraid of ordinary mechanical traps, but magic traps. Once the fireball trap is triggered, perhaps one-third of the 20 people will fall down.

Immediately afterwards, two unfamiliar teams also began to contact each other, reporting information to each other.

Fortunately, the high-level players had a tacit understanding before, and even chatted with each other in a group, so Zhao Xu's team suddenly expanded to the original fifty or so.

When the opposing team introduced the last woman, everyone was surprised to forget the past.

Including the three Qiangwei sisters who were also the most famous on Zhao Xu's side, they were also women who stared at each other.

The jewel of the dwarf king's court on the front line of Maca City on the surface, Ms. Natilya, a level 7 ranger.

At this time, the high-level female player is still pinned to her chest, which is rare in the world. The "Golden Hammer" medal bestowed by the "Dwarf King's Court" and the "Daylight Art" on the clear rain longbow that is also a ranger Down, shining brightly, as if the light would flow.

"Mr. Lone Star, long time no see." Natilya smiled at Zhao Xu at this moment.

Everyone also looked at Zhao Xu with surprise. It was obvious that he was not just an ordinary mage from Yanan.

Before Natilya crossed over, relying on the weapon forging channel provided by the Dwarf Royal Court, the chamber of commerce she opened had swept nearly 20% of Maca City, and her personal wealth was unimaginable.

Although most of the other party's property is still in Maca City, compared to cunning humans, they are quite wary of strangers, but the dwarves who are very generous to the few who have gained trust, although their nature is easy to give in because of gold, silver and jewelry. in greed.

But when the target is the "Dwarf King's Court", it's different, so Natilya is recognized as one of the few strong people who can regain the property after time travel.

As for some player chambers of commerce that relied on capital to snowball, they may have been swallowed up by now.

This is also the same adventure, and the three Qiangwei sisters formed a team with the three of them. But Natilya had no less than ten followers, accounting for one-third of the opposite team.

Seeing Zhao Xu bowing slightly, Natilya also showed a shy smile, "I really didn't know Mount Tai at the beginning. Your Excellency came here to purchase supplies on behalf of the Lord Zhongxia of Falling Star Town, and because of the dwarves, I came here to purchase supplies. According to Wang Ting's instruction, I didn't want to get too involved in the internal struggle of the Northern Alliance, so I missed the 'deal' at that time."

"Thinking about it now, the Lord Zhongxia must have prepared for the survival of the whole people after crossing."

"Then I can really be regarded as the sinner of the human beings on the earth, and what I have suffered now is also what I have suffered."

In this regard, Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head, "Miss Natilya, I'm afraid you will have to verify this in person."

The real Zhong Xia, no matter how he explained this topic, some people would be dissatisfied, so he didn't answer formally.

In this world, no matter how well he does, people will ask him why he didn't contact the higher authorities and use more means to let the people on the earth know.

Instead of thinking that the moment he speaks, he will be "targeted" by the world for leaking secrets.

He also left Falling Star Town, which was beyond the gaze of "Anti Noah" and "Goddess of Magic". Just holding the name of the Falling Star Town Mage Association.

The demon lord of the abyss has been watching Zhao Xu.

Once a believer learned that Zhong Xia had left the sphere of influence, then Grazte would come again, and Zhao Xu would have to re-gamble on the success of the goddess' "arrival", which was why the other party thought he was called Lone Star.

The same is true for the current "underground mysterious cave".

Who knows if there are one or two followers of Graz'zt among these players.

So when Zhao Xu announced his identity before arriving at the "portal gate", in this "mysterious space" occupied by undead creatures, it would be the most dangerous moment for him since time travel.

Immediately, Zhao Xu also told about his encounter with the other's younger brother, as well as the other two followers, Baisha, a soldier, and Qiuyu, a sorceress.

Regarding this, Natila was pleasantly surprised, then showed a worried look, and then shook her head.

"The barren and dead land now is like a copper furnace in troubled times. If I can't protect myself, what can I do to them?"

Although the mysterious mage on the opposite side told the location and time of the encounter, as well as the approximate location of the camp.

But at this moment in the wild and dead land, everything is in chaos, even the top 7 or 8 players among the players may still die on the street the next day.

So even if Natila had the confidence to have a lot of money, she still couldn't do anything about it.

"Luya, are you really not going to look for it?" Fei Xu, a female mage nearby who was also Natilya's personal magic advisor, said.

At this time, in a chaotic and mysterious area, everyone instinctively tends to use the former "game ID" to call it.

Natilya shook her head, "In the wild and dead place, who can guarantee to find someone and bring him back safely."

Although the priests of the gods and the major forces of Yanan have sent personnel to infiltrate into the wild dead land, they are still providing relief in essence, and they may not take action for Natilya.

In particular, the other party didn't know Natila's younger brother at all, and it was impossible to talk about reaching out to help.

"No." The female mage Feixu shook her head immediately, "Even if the other Sihuan mages have mastered the 'biolocation technique', they will not be able to provide assistance. But the Lone Star mage in front of me has met your brother Lu Ya. So he was able to locate your brother using biolocation."

Speaking of the female mage Fei Xu, she licked her lips and looked at Zhao Xu, who claimed to be level 5, "As long as we can provide the four-ring scroll."

Natilya's eyes lit up immediately, the 700 gold coin four-ring scroll was a burden to others, but to her it was not even enough for the deposit for a weapon purchase.

It's just that her eyes dimmed immediately, "We've always been in short supply of magic scrolls. I can get the Four Rings' Biolocation Technique in Maca City, but in this wild and dead place, it's just—"

"And we're still stuck here, not even knowing if we'll succeed or get out."

Hearing this, the expressions of the rest of the people who were still looking at Natila with envy turned darkened.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have left my hometown. Now I don't even know which camp my hometown is." Qingyu, the younger sister of the three Qiangwei sisters, couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

The wilderness at this time is no different from the level of a closed city on the earth, and their players only dare to explore nearby.

It is very dangerous to go far away, and it is basically impossible to find distant family members in the early stage.

This is why Natila is worried about her brother. On the way to find him, the other party must have spent a lot of time in the wild. It is unknown whether he is alive or not under the "wave of undead" just now.

"For example, my wife was pregnant and raised a baby at her natal family. I continued to work alone in Pengcheng, but I encountered time travel. Now I have been exposed to the light of the game and can become a player, but my wife didn't do it in order to save money. Come to the big city with me, and now she and the child in her womb are in doubt." At this time, a barbarian player seemed to be infected, and suddenly burst into tears, "How can the two of them live in such a high-pressure environment? ah."

"Don't cry, all major camps are now registering whether your family members are players. If your wife knows that you have played Arthur, then if she reports it, she will at least receive better treatment. At most, it is because it cannot be verified. It's just a discounted treatment." Qingli, the eldest sister among the three sisters, hastily comforted her.

At this time, in the barbaric deadland camp, players basically relied on their own strength to seize high-level positions.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

Arthur, who has no gunpowder, no diodes, and no electromagnetic induction, is a "gun barrel" for professional adventurers.

After two weeks, the players, even relying on the static attributes of the back measurements, quickly rose to the top and occupied the high ground.

Countless civilians who have traveled through the world have found that the loud and clear voices of the big men who used to be aloof have gradually become useless.

The boss who used to have thousands of employees in the entire group and could work overtime for hundreds of people with one email, also had to starve and suffer from cold in Arthur.

Those coming in and out are surrounded by dozens of security guards, surrounded by celebrities and Internet celebrities, and the "face" that can be exchanged for resources is no longer reliable and has lost attention.

For everyone, living is already a very difficult thing.

The "remaining prestige" of the original powerful and wealthy classes on the earth has also begun to collapse.

On the other hand, the new order constructed by the players implicitly defaults to a well-known but not clear "rule".

Be kind to the player's family.

In this way, even if one's family members are in other camps, the other party can be treated kindly.

The only thing to pay is to treat other players' families well.

This is also the biggest difference between the majority of players and civilians in the treatment of their relatives.

Gradually, everyone's missing family members eased up.

Zhao Xu, who was present, returned to the original question, "Ms. Natilya, as long as you can join Yanan, I can help you realize all the things you mentioned."

"Even at this time, I can provide a 'Biolocation' scroll."

"And I can also promise here, as long as you join Yanan. Your younger brother, Yanan can officially grant him the qualifications of a mage apprentice."

At this time, Zhao Xu also realized the benefits of hiding his identity.

If this kind of price tag was opened in Zhongxia, it would be too low-level.

But it seems reasonable for him to be the "lone star".

For Zhao Xu's words, everyone immediately showed envy, but no one raised any objections.

Value determines status.

Natilya was the highest-status among all the people present, so naturally she was valued by the official "Lone Star" mage from Yanan.

Naturally, in return, Natilya had to put the forging technology she had obtained from the "Dwarf King's Court" into Yanan, and she even acted as a middleman to recommend between the two forces.

"I--"

Natila, who was about to let go of her promise, thought about it for a while and still pursed her lips tightly, "I can't promise you this matter for now, I have to go back and discuss with several core members of the chamber of commerce, I am no longer just representing myself. "

"That's it, I will give you an answer three days after I go out."

"Yes." Zhao Xu naturally agreed.

"Then Ms. Natila, why did you come down?" Second sister Qinglu suddenly asked, as a former pastor, she came down because she sensed that the way to break through was under the cave.

The son of a daughter can't sit still, but she already has enough resources. Natilya, who won't be promoted directly by life and death, doesn't need to take the risk.

"Sorry, this is—" Fei Xu, a female mage at the side, immediately interrupted the question.

But Natila immediately waved her hand, "Feixu, it's meaningless to hide the matter now, and it's impossible to get more benefits by relying on us. It's better to use everyone's strength to see if we can find an opportunity."

As she spoke, she took out a crystal from her pocket, held it up high and said——

"This is the Olym crystal, I got it from an undead creature skeleton."
