The Truth of Magic

148 Second-level spells

the next day, after zhao xu went online, he was about to look for antonya to see what he should do next.

it was just that the scale of the emergency meeting last night wasn’t small, and antonya had left him a message saying that she would be away for a few days.

Which meant that in the next few days, Zhao Xu would have to decide on his own course of study.

However, Zhao Xu had to learn level 2 spells before he could officially become a level 3 wizard.

So Antonya immediately set up the gate of the realm and told Zhao Xu to go to the projected space of the final scroll based on his previous experience. Then, he would enter the final scroll from the projected space.

as he looked at antonya’s message on the note, zhao xu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Without Antonya’s guidance, he had entered the final scroll through the back door all by himself, which sounded rather unbelievable.

however, antonya had specifically given him a secret code on the note, so it couldn’t be fake at all.

he had also relied on the secret code imprint to decipher that the mysterious space would appear behind the bookcase in the guest room of antino in about three hours.

what gave zhao xu a bit of a headache was that antonya told him that the contents of this projection would be different from the last time, so he had to be prepared.

he wouldn’t die, but it would be more embarrassing if he couldn’t pass.

and if he missed this chance, he would have to wait for antonya to come back before he could master a level 2 arcane spell.

Zhao Xu knew that this was probably a test that Antonya was giving him, so he quickly used these three hours to prepare all the level 0 and level 1 spells that he had used up yesterday.

the gate of the realm was a spell that created a channel between stone walls for spirit bodies. it had no time limit, but only a limited number of times it could be used.

usually, only the caster could pass through on their own, but antonya had specifically set zhao xu’s name as the condition for passing through.

when the time was almost up, zhao xu got close to the bookshelf and felt the faint appearance of the gate of the prime minister.

zhao xu stared at the countdown on the wall clock, timed it perfectly, and then barged in.

in a daze, zhao xu realized that he was in the same mysterious space he was in last time. there were no windows around him, and it was a completely sealed space.

the only difference was that there were 12 mirrors in the room last time, but there wasn’t even a mirror this time.

the square box-like room was empty.

zhao xu had thought about what kind of mysterious and special test this time would be, but he didn’t think that there would be nothing.

Last time, he had found the right mirror and entered the final scroll.

but zhao xu was no longer the warrior from his previous life, and he could only rely on brute force to solve everything.

he now had many first-level spells. although they were limited, the meaning was completely different.

Zhao Xu first stood in the corner of the room and cast a detection spell on the wide space in front of him.

After he finished his incantation, the detection spell’s cone-shaped detection energy, which had a radius of nearly 20 meters, immediately spread out.

Zhao Xu’s eyes almost went blind when he saw the divine feedback from the spells, so he quickly canceled all the spells.

“Why would I think of using a detection spell in the projection of a divine gear?”

zhao xu patted his head.

the intensity of the spiritual light detected by the detection spell ranged from the lowest level, dark, to medium, strong, and blinding.

Even a level nine continuous spell was only at the intense level.

Only legendary spells or godly items would emit a blinding light.

He was in the projection of the final scroll, and even if it was a projection, it was still a part of the divine artifact. How could it not be glaring?

Zhao Xu reached out again to check the spot where he had just come in from and found that the passage through the gate of ministers had disappeared.

this projection space had already been transferred to another location, so naturally, the connection with the original place was cut off.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but walk around the four walls of the sealed room and try to find some clues from them.

however, when he returned to the starting point, he still gained nothing.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu had an idea and he immediately took out the note that Antonya had left for him.

As expected, after three hours, the contents of the note had changed.

“You still remember to bring the note with you. At least you know that I can’t just leave my things.”

Zhao Xu pouted. How could he not know that Antonya would throw even a piece of scrap paper into the box with the level 6 spell disjunction to get rid of it?

she was born with an obsession with cleanliness and didn’t want anyone to touch her things.

Then, the note began to change into new content. ” you just have to say that i want to answer a question, and the projection space will start to ask you a question. then, if you can answer it, you will pass. pay attention to the details. ”

It was actually answering questions?

but zhao xu didn’t really care. answering questions was the safest activity he could do.

“I want to answer the questions,” he said directly.

suddenly, the entire projection space started to rumble, and a mirror slowly appeared out of thin air and then slowly landed in front of zhao xu.

Then, a line of words began to appear in the mirror-

one hundred mages were locked up in one hundred secret chambers, and one mage could be placed in the hall outside at random every day. there was a magic lamp in the hall that could be turned on or off. other than that, no other traces could be left behind. one day, when a mage was able to confirm that all of them had been to the hall, they would be released. otherwise, they would all be executed.

before these mages were locked up, they had discussed a plan to make sure that everyone had come out of the hall. what was the plan?

zhao xu couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this question.

These days, logic problems liked to be smoothened out. In fact, the lamp that could be switched on and off could be simplified into a ball for everyone. Every time they went out, they would throw the ball into the box.

naturally, when someone saw the other players ’99 balls, it would prove that everyone had come out.

” one of the mages will be in charge of turning off the lights, and the other 99 mages will be in charge of turning on the lights. this way, as long as the mage in charge of turning off the lights turns off the lights 99 times, he will be able to confirm that everyone came out. ”

Zhao Xu said simply.

However, a line of words appeared in the mirror in front of him-wrong answer.

following that, a countdown began to appear below the mirror.

10?

9?

......

the moment it hit zero would be the moment zhao xu would be kicked out of the dimension.

In an instant, Zhao Xu calmed down again.

He knew that his entire train of thought was correct, but there were still some logical flaws.

However, the bright red countdown on the mirror continued to decrease. In the blink of an eye, there were only five seconds left.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but clench his fists and frown. He went back and read the entire question again.

his attention was on the lamp, as if he was in deep thought.

however, time would not wait for it. the countdown immediately became three seconds.

2 seconds.

1 second.

the remaining 99 people turned on the lights twice and the people who turned off the lights turned them off 198 times. This proves that everyone came out.

zhao xu quickly finished speaking without even panting.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mirror suddenly released a yellow light and sucked Zhao Xu in.

When Zhao Xu opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the circular library with so many spell books stacked up into the sky.

He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and finally answered.

Because it was uncertain whether the light was on or off at the beginning, the person who turned off the light might have actually turned off the light that was on at the beginning. In this way, he would miss one person. Therefore, everyone had to turn on the light twice to avoid the initial state.

at this moment, a list of spells started appearing on his retina, and zhao xu couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at it.

As expected, the strength of a level 2 spell was much stronger than a level 1 spell.

especially when he saw the description of the “ghost strike technique,” he almost shook his head and lamented that the strength of the technique was off the charts.

this spell could make the target’s weapon become translucent, which would ignore armor and even natural defense, and directly step on the warrior’s armor.

even a spell with strategic significance like invisibility had begun to appear among level 2 spells.

for something as difficult as obtaining a specialty, there was also a level 2 spell, “spirit possession,” that could temporarily give him a warrior specialty.

When he thought about this, Zhao Xu didn’t care anymore. He immediately pulled up a list and summoned all the level 2 arcane spells he had to learn.

in this scroll space, zhao xu was just like last time. basically, he didn’t even need a minute to copy every level 2 spell into the depths of his heart.

And this time, Zhao Xu felt that there was something different about him when he copied the notes.

Those spells seemed to have become a part of his body, and they were slowly merging with him.

zhao xu also started to realize that he could actually remember all the spells he had just copied down into his mind.

even the spell structure that was difficult for him to understand before seemed to be much clearer than before.

Zhao Xu started to gain some sort of spell-related sensitivity.

It was very vague, but it was faintly stationed in his heart.

In the end, after Zhao Xu had copied down almost 99% of the level 2 arcane spells, he finally couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

it was a pity that he would have to do it again in the future to learn level two divine arts.

This time, it was just a simple question of switching on and off a light bulb. He didn’t know how difficult it would be the next time.

zhao xu couldn’t help but frown. if he copied down the level 2 divine art right now, wouldn’t it save him a lot of trouble?

as he thought about this, zhao xu immediately summoned the wings of protection spell book on his list.

antonya had used this spell before to summon a pair of invisible wings that had blocked one of his attacks.

later on, zhao xu understood the power of this spell. blocking an attack was a conceptual blocking that didn’t make any difference.

It was a pity that this was a level 2 arcane spell unique to warlocks, and mages could not learn it.

antonya had also learned the divine version of wings of protection by relying on the characteristics of an archivist.

zhao xu looked at the wings of protection spell that was spread out in front of him and tried to copy it into his mind.

at this moment, zhao xu was able to copy all of the level 2 divine arts into his mind without any difficulty. there were no obstacles in the process at all.

it was as if he had copied it before.

however, zhao xu didn’t have a level 2 divine spell slot, so he wouldn’t be able to cast any spells even if he copied them. but this also meant that he could save on the trip.

when he thought about this, zhao xu couldn’t help but greedily summon the spellbook for the level 3 arcane spell, fireball.

Could it be that he could copy all the spells today?
