150 chapter 149-knowledge grasp

For the next few days, Zhao Xu didn’t leave the final scroll. He impatiently summoned the spell books one by one to absorb their energy and then cast spells again.

in particular, some spells required a high price to cast.

Some mages might not be able to cast it more than a few times in their entire lives after learning it.

But it wasn’t a problem for Zhao Xu.

In the final scroll, he had an unlimited number of spell slots, and he could cast any spell without paying a price.

there were even some spells that required a minute or even an hour of incantation time, but zhao xu only needed to think about it to cast them.

however, after casting the spell, the true feedback from the spell wasn’t fake.

It was as if he had gained the experience of casting spells without any discount.

when antonya returned to the scroll space and saw zhao xu, she still couldn’t recognize him at all.

According to her, this was the first time that Zhao Xu had restrained himself so much that he looked like a wizard.

he now had the indescribable foundation of a mage, or rather, confidence.

After he left the final scroll, Zhao Xu didn’t have to spend too much effort to stabilize his character level at Level 3. He was now officially a level 3 wizard and a level 2 archivist.

At the same time, he also listened to Antonya’s instructions and started listening to more academic lectures, trying to awaken the Level 2 class ability “knowledge mastery” of the archivist as soon as possible.

When Zhao Xu obtained this ability, his document deciphering and knowledge (mystical) skills would all receive +2 nameless buffs.

Nameless bonus points were something that could be stacked at will. If Zhao Xu had a hundred knowledge (mystical) skills that gave him +2 nameless bonus points, then he could definitely stack them all up to 200 + points.

so even though this bonus was better than nothing, zhao xu still didn’t dare to relax. he took out a lot of his time and put it into his knowledge (mystical) lectures.

This time, after Zhao Xu received the lecture tickets that were sent to him every day, he quietly found a corner to sit down and quietly listened to the lecturer on stage explain his mystical knowledge.

normally, low-level mages would choose to go to the library to read books on mysticism to improve their knowledge (mystical) skills.

This method was the stupidest, but also the most stable, and also the most beneficial to upgrade the level of knowledge (mysterious) skills.

but when zhao xu raised his [mystical] skill to level 6 in the library of knowledge, he still didn’t get the scroll’s [literacy mastery] ability.

So, he was looking forward to these lectures to trigger him.

“Who can tell what this symbol means?” At this time, a lecturer on the stage, Morris, asked. He was wearing a light white robe that stood alone.

morris was already a level-5 mage in his early thirties. even in a place like the floating city where high-level mages gathered, he could still be considered a small achievement.

Although he was limited by his character level and could only level up his knowledge (mysterious) skill to level 8, that only affected his success rate of connecting to the knowledge source.

morris had been immersed in all kinds of books on mysticism since he was six years old. this kind of deep knowledge had earned him the appreciation of the middle and upper echelons.

After hearing Morris ‘question, the thirty or so novice mages and apprentice mages in the small hall were all silent. They were obviously all stumped by this question.

Although Morris was famous, attending his lecture would not bring him a spot as an assistant in the floating city, so his Lecture tickets were not particularly popular.

therefore, when morris held a lecture to share his recent research insights, he would not use a large venue. a small lecture room of 50 people was enough.

zhao xu was also looking at the mark that morris had drawn on the white board. he didn’t try to use his knowledge (mystery) skill to search for it, but instead started to think about it on his own.

He could feel that Morris’s mysticism knowledge was very solid.

Even if Morris were to level up in the future, he would not need to specially study it. His knowledge (mystery) level would automatically consume skill points to level up the moment his character level up.

This was also the model that everyone admired the most.

zhao xu guessed that asvich and wang ningwei both had this trait.

as for zhao xu, he could only rely on his luck to arrive first.

seeing that no one present answered, morris could only shake his head with a bitter smile and continue to explain the origin of the entire symbol.

“this secret seal symbol itself is related to cryptography. after master aches introduced it into the system of high-level mysterious symbols, it slowly became widely used by the mage community. generally speaking, as long as you’re a mage who studies the interpretation of documents and mysticism, you won’t miss this symbol.” Morris slowly explained.

zhao xu looked at the symbol of the secret deed with the 13 transformations and his eyes started to light up.

Suddenly, a female assistant from the lecture room’s logistics team ran in and whispered a few words to Morris.

after hearing the other party’s words, morris ‘expression changed a little, and then he revealed an overjoyed expression.

He quickly walked to the whiteboard and wrote an encrypted evolutionary form about the secret seal symbol on it. Then he said, ” “I suddenly have something to deal with. I’ll be back in a while. everyone, let’s start with this question.”

however, just as he was about to walk out of the lecture room, he stopped and smiled at everyone, ” ” of course, if anyone can solve it, then he can leave first. ”

morris then gave the paper with the answer to the female assistant and left.

After the sound of Morris ‘footsteps gradually faded away, many apprentice mages who had come just to get a stamp and get some experience could not help but complain.

however, looking at the female assistant who was standing at the door of the lecture room to monitor everyone, the mage still lowered his voice.

No one was afraid of a female assistant, but no one dared to easily offend a Level-5 mage.

in order to urge mage apprentices to receive edification from different aspects, the floating city required mage apprentices to provide sufficient stamped lecture tickets every week.

many apprentice mages came to listen to morris’s lecture because they heard that it was very likely that morris would stamp the ticket.

At this moment, Zhao Xu glanced at the question and immediately got up to pack his things and get ready to go back. He already had some ideas on how to improve his ” literacy mastery ” ability, and he was planning to discuss it with Antonya.

but when zhao xu reached the door, the female assistant who had been following morris ‘orders reached out and stopped him. ” this student, wizard morris hasn’t returned yet. please wait for a moment. ”

to them, the orders of a level-5 mage had to be strictly followed.

zhao xu originally wanted to say that he didn’t need a stamp on the ticket, but when he looked at the female assistant’s attitude, he felt like she was a little devil that was hard to deal with.

He didn’t say much and went straight to the whiteboard and picked up a pen.

The apprentice Wizards in the audience thought that Zhao Xu was going to write down the answer directly, but they didn’t expect Zhao Xu to just stop and fall into deep thought. They couldn’t help but laugh in a low voice.

he had never heard of someone who had to make a last-ditch effort to slap someone in the face.

however, the laughter slowly disappeared.

zhao xu didn’t even need to do any calculations before he wrote out the final answer.

the female assistant, who was holding a piece of paper to compare the answers on the whiteboard, was stunned.

professor morris gave her this note so that no one could fool her with the wrong answer. he didn’t expect anyone to solve it.

when zhao xu arrived at antonya’s office on the seventh floor of the obelisk, he was a little stunned.

because the moment he solved the question, his dynamic panel showed a message-

[adventurer zhongxia has awakened the “knowledge mastery” ability. knowledge (mysterious) and document interpretation skills have gained +2 points.]

Over the past few days, Zhao Xu felt that his mind had become a little more active.

however, he also knew that it would take another ten and a half months for his intelligence to reach his account, so this kind of improvement in his clear thinking made him a little confused.

Zhao Xu pushed open the door and saw Antonya standing there staring at the bone armor.

antonya turned around and looked at zhao xu. she said with an indescribable tone, ” it seems that you’ve already obtained that ability and don’t need to go to the lecture? ”

zhao xu temporarily suppressed the questions in his heart and nodded.

antonya walked over to him and handed him a letter.

Zhao Xu took it and looked at it. He found it a little hard to believe.

a mysticism lecture? ” Zhao Xu asked.

if it was just an ordinary lecture, it would be nothing.

however, one of the names at the bottom of the lecture was crossed out, and the name ” zhongxia ” was written on it.

since when did he have the right to give a lecture to others?

“Sometimes it’s like this. You might not be able to understand it by listening to others, but you can trigger it by explaining it to others. although i didn’t expect you to awaken this ability now, the lecture has been arranged, so you should go.”

Antonya chuckled.

“The lecture is tonight. don’t miss the time. in any case, he’s just a level 1 wizard. you’ll definitely be able to hold the fort.”

when zhao xu heard this, he didn’t immediately doubt himself.

in fact, he already had a level 6 knowledge (mysterious) skill, which was the upper limit of a level 3 character. this was because the skill level could only be three levels higher than the character level.

but even for many wizards at level 6 or 7, if they didn’t have a good enough foundation in mysticism, they might not even have a higher level of knowledge (mysticism) than zhao xu.

compared to a spell that could hit the target accurately with every hit,’knowledge’ was much more ethereal.

Knowledge, intelligence, and magic were the three main pillars that supported a mage’s strength, but sometimes, magic was too strong, even overshadowing the brilliance of the other two.

then what’s the topic of my mysticism lecture? ”

Even though he was talking to a player in the game or a native of Arthur, Zhao Xu still didn’t dare to take this lecture lightly, so he immediately started preparing for it.

“Don’t worry, the original lecturer for the lecture was injured in an explosion while conducting spell research, so you need to replace him. the materials they prepared are on the table. you’ll know when you see them.”

Antonya said as she continued to look at the armor.

Zhao Xu walked over to Antonya’s desk and there was indeed a stack of materials that looked much thicker on it. He picked it up and looked at it-it was about the variety of level 1 spells.

a first-level spell?

to put it in an exaggerated way-

even the level 1 spells that a level 9 wizard in floating city knew might not be as comprehensive as zhao xu’s.

So this was the reason why Antonya had asked him to take over the lecture.
