190 treasure in the cabinet (1/3)
The incredibly thick stone door slowly rose upwards. At the same time, the groove that Zhao Xu had placed the Holy emblem in popped out by itself under the effect of the mechanism, and Zhao Xu reached out to catch it.
As the heavy and smelly air flowed out of the door, Zhao Xu gripped his eternal wand, the fireball spell, tightly in his hand, ready to cast a spell if anything went wrong.
in the end, the stone door was completely raised. there was no dull sound of machinery moving during the whole process, only a soft hum, as if it was controlled by magic.
only then did zhao xu realize that he was in a banquet hall in front of him. a painted wooden table with 24 seats was placed in the middle of the hall, taking up almost half of the space.
A four-meter-long painting was hung on the wall of the hall. It was covered with cobwebs, and the color of the carpet was already dark, making it difficult to distinguish.
Zhao Xu looked through his religious knowledge and skills as he tried to recall the portraits of the people on the carpet in front of him.
at this moment, the heavy stone door began to fall slowly, and finally reached the point where it was close to the ground.
does it mean that this area is the living area of the grim reaper’s priests?
Zhao Xu could already tell that the person hanging on the carpet was the final god of death, Nairo.
after the war of the gods, this death god had been in a state of semi-death, which had been going on for at least a thousand years.
At first, the power of its remaining divinity still granted the priest divine spells according to instinct, but it was no longer able to actively respond, and at the same time, the divine Kingdom was broken and withered.
the priests of the death god relied on the remaining power of the divine persona and barely managed to survive for hundreds of years. during this period, they had been trying to resurrect their god.
It was not until the gods had successfully broken through the defense of the Godhead of death and divided the Godhead of death that the priests lost their last divine spells and became no different from civilians.
The gods and their priests had always been bound together for good or bad.
the death of the last death priest also meant that the church of the death god, nairo, officially declared its demise in arthur.
No one would have imagined that the Grim Reaper would die one day.
Zhao Xu was starting to understand that the altar that might have been there wasn’t a Devil’s altar. It was the altar that had originally belonged to the god of death, Nairo.
this was the temple of hell!
It was one of the hidden strongholds of his believers.
In that case, the demon was just a Sparrow occupying a Dove’s Nest.
Zhao Xu walked over and saw that there were still gold-plated candles and porcelain plates on the table. Even though the colors were no longer the same, they could still be exchanged for some money if they were brought to an expert.
but that wasn’t zhao xu’s goal. he walked straight to the cabinet behind the main table and there was a layer of white cobweb on top of it. it wasn’t something that the normal spiders at home could make.
Zhao Xu started to open the first cabinet one by one.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
there was a tattered scroll case in the cabinet, but zhao xu could already see that there were scrolls in the case.
this was the first time that zhao xu had picked up a scroll after taking so many risks. he couldn’t care less about the cobwebs on it and just took out the scroll and started reading it.
The scroll hidden in the cabinet was made of high-quality leather paper, and the two ends were fixed and protected by willow branches.
an ordinary scroll that only recorded one spell was about the size of an a4 paper. the scroll in front of him was almost half a meter long, which meant that it had copied three spells.
there were some signs of aging at the corners of the scroll, but the middle part was still as bright as new. under the enhancement of magic power, this kind of leather paper, which had no hardness at all, was more intact than the surrounding strong furniture.
[adventurer zhongxia has performed a spell identification check on the mysterious scroll, check failed.]
suddenly, a notification appeared on zhao xu’s status panel, and he was stunned by it.
his spellcraft skill had reached the upper limit of level 6, and with the +3 intelligence, his spellcraft skill had reached a total of level 9.
Even if the difficulty of identifying scrolls increased as the number of spell circles increased.
And Zhao Xu would have a 50% chance of identifying a normal level 1 scroll just by using spell identification.
therefore, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
this was a real treasure!
Zhao Xu immediately cast the level 0 spell read magic. This spell would allow him to read the meaning of the scroll.
in an instant, the processed arcane text on the scroll seemed to be transforming and reassembling in his mind, slowly becoming clear.
level three divine spell, curse descent!
level three divine spell, corpse manipulation!
Level six divine spell, heavy injury spell!
zhao xu immediately read out the details of the three spells on the scroll. They were all core divine spells, not particularly unpopular but powerful divine spells.
corpse manipulation was a spell to create undead creatures, similar to how the four people were killed by the evil creatures of the other world and turned into zombies.
As for the curse, it was a divine curse spell that had caused Fengye to lose 6 attribute points after he was hit by a trap. Normal elemental damage could be recovered slowly, but a curse had to be removed by a spell, or it would never recover.
in the early stages, if players did not have access to level 3 spells or had enough gold coins to hire a spellcaster to cast the spell, they could basically log out of their account and start over again when they encountered this spell.
as for the heavy injuries spell, it was the opposite divine spell of the healing spell.
the system of healing spells in divine arts was very clear. the first circle healed minor injuries, the second circle healed moderate injuries, the third circle healed serious injuries, the fourth circle healed fatal injuries, and the sixth circle healing spell was the top.
Good priests could freely switch between these healing spells.
on the other hand, the 6-circle divine spell, [ heavy injury ], was the opposite of [ healing ]. it could cause 10 damage per level of the caster, with a maximum of 150 damage.
The scroll in Zhao Xu’s hand had a level 15 spellcaster, which meant that the other party was probably an eighth-circle priest.
It was just that he felt that this group of Nairo priests was more or less stupid. They themselves could easily transform level 6 spells into heavy injury spells, so it was meaningless to specially prepare scrolls.
in particular, this spell was of little value, and it couldn’t kill people in one shot.
Being injured but not dead was the specialty of this spell, because it was not called a fatal spell.
even if he used the heavy damage skill on a civilian with 4HP, the other party would only fall to 1 hp and would not die.
but since he didn’t have to spend money to buy it, zhao xu happily rolled up the scroll and put it into the scroll box in his backpack.
this was the first time zhao xu had obtained a magic item by himself. previously, when he went on an adventure, he had asked noah to take the magical items that he had converted from the adventure’s gains to the local magic association, so that they would be given to him in the future.
Who would’ve thought that the other party would be wiped out later on, and that their magic items would naturally be gone as well? Antonya had even compensated him with an automatic memory Quill.
zhao xu was still quite happy about this. the [heavy injury] spell in the scroll cost at least 1600 gold coins, the [curse descent] spell cost 375 gold coins, and the [corpse manipulation] scroll cost 625 gold coins because it included the cost of the spell materials.
it had to be said that compared to the 25 gold coins for level 1 spells, the price of late-stage scrolls was like a rolling snowball. even if he successfully crushed the other party, he would still feel heartache.
Especially when the targets were ghosts and elemental creatures, monsters that would disappear after being killed, not even leaving a corpse behind, they were despised by the vast number of adventurers in Arthur.
zhao xu continued to open the second cabinet.
He already knew that this small-scale underground temple of hell had not been plundered by anyone. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the scroll worth two to three thousand gold coins to be left there so openly.
This might also mean that there were treasures in all three rows of 15 cabinets.
Even the rooms after that might hide the last wealth of the priests who tried to resurrect the gods.
This was also the reason why adventurers loved to explore the underground city, as it meant wealth.
As Zhao Xu was thinking about what he had gotten that day, he opened the second cabinet. suddenly, a spider that was so big that it took up the entire space in the cabinet jumped up and tried to bite zhao xu.
Even though Zhao Xu hadn’t seen this familiar face in a long time, he still couldn’t help but get a shock and immediately dodged instinctively.
it was just that zhao xu, who had reacted late, didn’t use lesser burst of agility or the teleport boots on his feet to activate the skill, so there was no way he could dodge it.
The spider that was almost the size of a tablet instantly opened its mouth and bit down on Zhao Xu with its sharp teeth.
however, the starry cloak on zhao xu’s body suddenly glowed like the stars in the night sky. it exploded with light right where the spider was about to bite, and it immediately sent the spider flying far away.
The spider, which had been jolted by this shock, no longer dared to continue fighting. It quickly sneaked into another passage through the door and disappeared.
Zhao Xu shook off the dust on his body. Even though the spider’s lower jaw was sharp, it still didn’t manage to tear his cloak.
zhao xu was different from the two girls. he didn’t even have his wizard armor on. It was precisely because of the cloak’s immunity effect that he was wearing that he was already able to stand undefeated against these low-level ordinary animals and insects.
Zhao Xu started to recall his memories from his previous life and recognized the name and species of the spider.
Super-small mutated Spider, with dark vision and vibration perception. At the same time, their biting attacks are poisonous. If the immunity is not passed, you will receive 1 point of strength damage.
even though it was bigger than a basin, a body that was between 30 to 60 centimeters was considered small in arthur. there were miniature versions below that.
Zhao Xu had encountered a super-large mutated Spider in his previous life, and he had been trapped by its web. They only survived because the Super-large mutated Spider was hunting for other prey at the time.
if the super-small spider that had an average of 4HP could continue to evolve, it would have to go past small, medium, large, super large, and super large before it could reach the sixth stage, which was the super large spider that zhao xu had seen in his previous life. at that time, its body alone was more than 20 meters long.
zhao xu heaved a sigh of relief after he got out of danger and continued to search through the remaining cabinets. this time, he was a little more cautious and aimed his light crossbow at the cabinet’s opening.
if anything went wrong, he would pull the trigger. if he encountered another mutated spider, he would also be killed by him.
it wasn’t until the third cabinet was opened that zhao xu, who was used to seeing big things, finally couldn’t help but take a deep breath for the first time.
