365 God’s steps
Most of the items in this auction were from a recently excavated Secret Mage Cemetery.
Due to the prestige of the wizard Association in Mystra and the fear of the church of the goddess, they did not even dare to hold the auction in Mystra. They could only secretly arrange it to be held in the middle of the night in frostdew town.
Buying and selling the magic items from the cemeteries would naturally not be protected by the officials.
as a son of a rich family, he couldn’t sit in the hall. therefore, most of the people who came to tonight’s auction were representatives sent by the aristocrats and rich businessmen.
Most of the teams were made up of butlers with bidding authority and guards. Some even directly entrusted the protection of adventurers.
Zhao Xu had done a few similar transactions in his previous life, so he knew how deep the waters were at these auctions.
even the players who had the advantage in numbers could not afford it.
however, he was an exception.
The old ghost woman had been able to swagger away from him because she had been able to use the Heartstone she had brought with her to cast a ninth-circle spell like the ‘spirit world Tour’ spell.
he was indeed at his wit’s end and could only wait for the next opportunity.
when the group of people arrived at frost dew town, zhao xu, zheng xinyun, and ellington waited at the entrance of the market street that the middle-aged woman had described for the entire afternoon, but the old woman dressed as a witch didn’t appear.
After that, Zhao Xu used his ‘suggestion spell’ to hear about the rumors and inside stories from Madam Betty.
this made zhao xu realize that there was more than one old witch in frostdew town.
it was probably because they had been disturbed by the old house that they were so scared that zhao xu didn’t have to wait for his target to appear in frostdew town.
however, the town itself kept this topic a secret, as it involved the unbearable history of many families in the town.
boxn ov el. c o mat first, madam betty thought that zhao xu was here to investigate, so her first reaction was to keep it a secret and wait until she got back to her family to report.
Zheng xinyun had a gathering tonight and would not be online at night.
ellington also happened to have a distant relative in frostdew town, so he also went to visit him.
so after zhao xu stuffed the invitation back into his bag, he saw that it was still early in the morning, so he started casting a spell and prepared to go to the auction alone tonight.
during the next two days, zhao xu used his free time to review the list of level 1 to level 3 spells that he had mastered.
After some thought, he realized that he had still underestimated the ‘Supreme magic control’ ability of a Supreme magic sculptor. How powerful would it be when combined with ‘spell endurance’?
In general, although the duration of most spells was linked to the level of the spellcaster, a few of them had a fixed time.
On the scale of time, most of them were on the hour level, minute level, wheel level, or even one or two rounds with a fixed time.
For example, an hour-level spell could barely be prepared at the front line of the battle.
As for the wheel-level spells, they could only be used after the battle, but their strength was also not ordinary.
once a spell’s duration was “wheel/level” and the format matched, it could be combined with the “spell endurance” specialty. after a spell’s duration of 24 hours, its power would start to become extremely terrifying.
it was like zhao xu was using a fixed number of spell slots to exchange for some 24-hour abilities.
for level 1 spells such as mage armor and shield, most mages could equip themselves with an hour-level mage armor.
As for wheel-level shield spells, only Zhao Xu could cast them for 24 hours a day, as they were long-lasting spells.
at this moment, zhao xu spread out the other construction plan in his hands. this was the completed plan of the auction venue that he had asked madam betty for.
after zhao xu scanned the area, he was able to determine a few routes that he could take to retreat.
however, he did not plan to stop there. he immediately turned his attention to the ‘flying ability’.
Mages generally did not use their own feet to walk after reaching Level 5.
long-distance spells included the 1st-circle ‘summon mount’ and the 3rd-circle ‘phantom foal’.
As for the aerial domain, it was the flying technique.
unfortunately, flight was a touch and minute-level spell that couldn’t last long. As such, most of them could only be used for temporary flight and escape, not for long-distance travel.
A spell that could last for a long time could only be cast on ‘oneself’ or a ‘fixed distance’. In other words, a spell that could only be cast on one’s own body could last.
As for the ‘touch’ spell, although it could be used on others, such as the mage Armor and the radiant armor, it would lose its ability to last long and would be blocked.
But Zhao Xu had once been invisibly tailing ashvich and the others for their trials, and he had been covered by their grease spell.
at that time, he used swift flight, which could only be used on himself, and it only lasted for one round.
originally, he couldn’t use a 3rd-circle flying spell, but he relied on this ” crippled ” 2nd-circle spell to fly away from the area of the grease.
however, the area of effect of this spell was on the user, not in contact with the target, so it just happened to meet the requirement of the spell’s duration.
That was why Zhao Xu could only fly for about ten minutes with his third-circle spell.
On the other hand, the level 2 spell, quick flight, could last for a full 24 hours.
In other words, he would only need to sacrifice a fixed Level 2 spell slot every day in exchange for the ” flying ” ability that countless Warriors would drool with envy.
right now, zhao xu had a total of 11 spell slots for the zero circle, 13 for the first circle, 9 for the second circle, and 5 for the third circle.
on top of that, he could combine two low-circle spells into a high-circle spell, so his endurance was far beyond the average level 6 spellcaster.
it was just a level 2 spell slot, so zhao xu didn’t feel any heartache at all.
But after Zhao Xu thought about it for a while, he didn’t hurry to cast the spell.
the snow from yesterday had just melted and the air was still cold. the light of the setting sun shone on zhao xu’s body and he felt a little warm.
it also made his choice clear.
Under normal circumstances, Swift flight would work.
But because of tonight’s special situation, Zhao Xu decided to cast another 3rd Circle divine spell, God’s steps, on himself.
God’s steps could allow the target to gain a new way of movement and speed.
the spell itself had different ways of moving according to the different gods, from climbing, flying, to digging. If you choose a God you don’t believe in, the duration will be halved.
but zhao xu wasn’t too conflicted about this. he was going to choose the goddess of magic.
it corresponded to [ flight ability ] and [ normal speed of 7 km/h, full speed of 28 km/h ].
on the one hand, this level 3 spell’s flight ability was ‘perfect’, which was better than the good mobility of flight.
Furthermore, it was faster than an ordinary person’s speed of 5 km/H (full speed 20 km/H).
The only problem was that the spell’s duration was ” wheel level “.
it was just that without the channel to obtain the level 3 arcane flying spell, many priests could only rely on this spell to obtain the ability to fly.
And this wasn’t a problem for Zhao Xu, who had a low cost and a long duration of spells.
in fact, he had chosen this spell because of another extremely powerful factor.
During the duration of the spell, if you choose to end the spell in advance, you can obtain an inhuman explosive speed in one go.
for every additional round of casting, zhao xu would gain an extra 1.8 kilometers per hour in the next six seconds.
It looked very small, because on earth, the speed of a car in the city was about 30km/hour, and on the highway it was close to 100km/hour.
after all, the average person could only last for a few rounds. even if they used up 10 rounds at once, that would only be 25 km/h (full speed 100 km).
Although it was comparable to a high-speed car, this effect would only last for one round.
in other words, he could fly 166 meters in six seconds. this speed was three times the human’s 100-meter sprint record.
When there was an emergency need to escape, it was barely considered good.
But Zhao Xu was different. He immediately cast this spell on himself.
As the spell took effect, his entire body slowly became extremely light. Even without the wings on his back, he could still feel the air slowly lifting him up.
It was as if he wanted to soar into the sky.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you cast god’s steps (lasting spell) on yourself and gained a flight speed of 7 (full speed 28) kilometers/hour. duration: 24 hours/14400 rounds (originally 12 rounds) ]
After he cast a series of spells, the words ” remaining time for 14400 rounds ” on his information panel almost blinded Zhao Xu’s eyes.
This meant that if he dispelled the spell, he could gain a speed of 25000 kilometers per hour.
although it was far from 300000 kilometers per second, it was still terrifying.
in fact, if zhao xu were to flap his wings and fly on earth like this, he would be able to leave the earth on the spot, let alone fly at the speed of sound at a mere 1000 kilometers per hour.
This was because the first speed in the universe at 8000 kilometers per second was less than one-third of the original speed.
But Zhao Xu didn’t dare to get himself killed like that. He didn’t dare to use the six-second acceleration to travel a terrifying distance of 170 kilometers.
the creatures on earth had a linear velocity of 1000 to 2000 kilometers per hour. it was only because everyone was still on the ground that they could not feel their actual movement.
However, if he rashly used this speed against Arthur, he would most likely be turned into a meat patty on the spot.
He could only suppress his speed and fly within the limits of his armor and physique.
If a big battle really did happen tonight, as long as Zhao Xu could successfully break through to the open sky, he would be able to show those people just how fast a cleric could be.
