The Truth of Magic

115 Chapter 115-wind on flat ground

Zhao Xu’s breathing became a little more tense when he saw how heavily guarded the area in front of him was, but he didn’t make any big movements.

If he was a high defense warrior who had mastered horsemanship and rode a celestial horse, he could still look down on these guards.

However, it was better for him to be more honest now.

however, zhao xu was confident that if he equipped himself with wizard armor and a shield spell, his defense wouldn’t be much weaker than these guards who had their heads covered tightly.

ever since he became a wizard, he couldn’t use his previous experience as a warrior anymore. zhao xu would unconsciously start to simulate a battle scene whenever he was faced with a situation, and he would secretly analyze how he should use his spells to attack and defend.

but in the current situation, zhao xu realized that only color spray could take down a group of people. for group control like hypnosis, the opponent wouldn’t give him even one round of time to cast it.

Zhao Xu, who had been conscripted before, knew that there was no point in him defeating the person in front of him. This was just the first stage.

Not to mention the group in front of them, there were countless Scouts lurking around. Once the iron pot in the corner was set on fire, it would not take long for hundreds of people to gather here.

After thousands of years of practice, everyone was very experienced in setting up battlelines, searching, and counter-searching.

adventurer, get off your horse and come over for inspection. a guard who seemed to be the captain shouted loudly. his armor was the most dazzling among the guards, with metal plates embedded in it.

At the same time, there were three adventurers in similar attire, all squatting in the corner with their hands tied. They were obviously waiting for the next wave of people to come and send them away.

but zhao xu didn’t care too much about the passers-by, so he got off his horse and waited for orders.

On the other side, three people were walking towards him. Two of them were holding light crossbows, and the crossbow arrows were emitting a cold blue light. One look and one could tell that they had been poisoned.

after zhao xu reached level 2, he received the health die of a level 2 wizard. the result of 1d4 (1-4) was 3 points. after adding on his 2 constitution points, his health increased from 8 hp to 13hp, which was quite a small amount.

Currently, the mainstream Level 1 mages only had 5HP if they had 12 vitality.

even a level 1 warrior might not have as much health as zhao xu right now.

he already had the ability to take two shots from a light crossbow without fainting. this was the ability that his health points had given them.

“who are you? Where did he come from? where to?”

the leader of the guards had a grim expression. to them, anyone who dared to appear here without going through the official procedures at this juncture would definitely be wronged if they were all killed, but if they were half killed, they would definitely escape.

When Zhao Xu heard her tone, he immediately made a lot of connections.

Having worked as a border guard, he knew that if he treated everyone as a prisoner, he would get into trouble sooner or later.

His eyes could not help but look into the distance. Noah had probably underestimated the difficulty of the border.

There must have been some unknown changes between the Tianbei Business Alliance, caso, and butan.

zhao xu knew that if he took out the wizard badge now, the other party definitely wouldn’t recognize oz’s name at the back. however, they would still respectfully send him off after confirming that he was a registered wizard in the association.

however, there was no way he could get past the northern block.

Even if they were to travel through Nanyu forest to another town, it would take them three days.

zhao xu had been in arthur for ten years, so he knew quite a bit about the rules, both in the open and in private.

he immediately took out the certificate issued by the wizard association of crescent town.

even though zhao xu didn’t want to admit it, this letter did prove that he was confident enough to be able to take a stroll in the wilderness of nanyu forest.

The Tianbei Business Alliance, which had been surrounding his caravan, had suddenly become his logistics teammate.

The leader of the guards might not be able to recognize the stamp of the wizard Association of North Block, but he would definitely be able to recognize the stamp of Crescent Town, a town that supplied important resources nearby.

however, zhao xu didn’t understand why the registrar of the association would also have the stamp of the crescent town government office.

The county Magistrate was not as good as the current one, even in Arthur.

when the three guards who had walked over saw zhao xu taking out something, they had already raised their weapons and were about to knock zhao xu down.

However, when they saw a document, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

A certificate with a blue seal and gold embellishments, even if it was fake, the cost would not be low.

The leading guard raised his eyebrows, wondering if it was some Big Shot’s nephew who came to have fun.

thinking about this, he took off his helmet, bent down slightly, and reached out his hand towards zhao xu, ready to take the certificate.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, an arrow shot out like a gust of wind, piercing through the forehead of the guard standing at the very front.

What followed was the other party’s incredulous gaze.

just like that, an ice-cold corpse fell to the ground. it was like a storm that directly swept through the hearts of everyone present.

the moment the arrow pierced through the man’s forehead, the sound of the enemy’s attack and the shrill cry of the enemy could be heard. zhao xu cursed out in his heart at the bandit who had tricked him like this, and he quickly started casting defensive spells.

at this moment, the yellow mud had already fallen into his pants. even if it wasn’t poop, it was still poop.

the time to cast spells was extremely precious in this face to face death situation.

zhao xu gritted his teeth and was just about to say the last word of “wizard armor” when one of the two guards standing in front of him turned around and ran, while the other reacted decisively and released the trigger of his light crossbow with hatred.

In this moment of chaos, the guards didn’t even see where the attack was coming from, but Zhao Xu, who was standing at the very front, definitely wouldn’t let go of any chance of being killed.

this was also the reason why zhao xu immediately cast a spell. those who still wanted to explain would probably have to go back to the temple of life creation and explain themselves to those statues.

“Bang!” The second arrow pierced through the air.

[ adventurer zhongxia, your defense check has failed. You have received 1d8 =3 damage. ]

that guard’s arrow hit zhao xu’s thigh, and he immediately felt pain.

zhao xu could only grit his teeth and be glad that he had only hit his thigh, which had only dealt 3 damage.

if it had hit his head, it would have been more than that.

Even if he was unlucky enough to get a critical hit, he could really sing a song to return to the city with sadness.

But Zhao Xu was just at the last moment of his incantation, so this wasn’t a fatal injury, but the pain hit his consciousness, and even the rhythm of his incantation was thrown into chaos.

[adventurer zhongxia has performed spellcasting focus check: 4 (skill level) +2 (Constitution) +4 (combat reflex)+ d20 = 10 + 10 = 20, greater than difficulty 14 = 10 (basic) +3 (damage) +1 (spell level). Passed the check, focus successful.]

Suddenly, a surge of power came from the focus skill in his character stats, and it made Zhao Xu’s entire body continue to maintain the spell.

This sort of unconscious push allowed Zhao Xu to successfully cast a spell.

An invisible armor immediately appeared on Zhao Xu’s body, and it was as solid as a rock.

Zhao Xu saw that the spell was successful, so he immediately grabbed the Mount he had summoned and used his memories of riding from his previous life to flip over it. Then he lowered his body and pulled the horse as he sprinted away with all his might.

At this time, seven or eight meters of masked martial artists in light armor also rushed over from the distance. They waved the curved swords in their hands and rushed towards the pass. The few people who were captured at the pass immediately took advantage of the distraction and ran for their lives.

[adventurer zhongxia, your defense level is level 14. you were attacked, and your defense is level 13. defense successful.]

With a ” ding “, an arrow that was aimed at Zhao Xu’s back was deflected by the power of the magician armor.

Zhao Xu, who was running away on his horse, couldn’t help but turn around to see who was trying to kill him.
