608 The players “family

After thinking it through, Zhao Xu started to speed up his actions.

Right now, his top priority was to find the teleportation portal that could help him escape from this mysterious cave. Then, he would use that place as his base and make a big call to attract other high-level players to his trap.

Now that he was in the team, he could control the team with his charm and negotiation skills, so there was no need to expose his identity.

All this time, Antonya had taught him that when compared to spells, concealment was the true barrier for a wizard.

In a sorcerer battle, information was the most important, so that one could know the opponent’s trump card and then counter it.

A flashy mage was no different from a fool.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xu had always been a man who went on adventures in the wild and never revealed his identity unless it was absolutely necessary.

To put it bluntly, he was no longer in the mood to pretend to be an ant. If he didn’t beat the Tiger, how could he live up to his strengthened flyswatter?

In the past, in order to protect Antonya, Ernest had even cast the “forget” spell on her name.

This made the new students in the floating city think that this mysterious female teacher was about the same age as them.

That was why Zhao Xu wasn’t willing to give a public speech at Yanan’s event before he could cast the ” projection ” spell of a seventh-circle wizard and a sixth-circle poet.

“A 2-circle magic scroll?”

The young male mage who had tried to replace him said in surprise, ” Mr. Lonestar, you must know that a level 2 spell scroll is worth 150 gold coins. Even if the spell disappears after copying it, it will only cost 100 gold coins to re-copy a level 2 spell.

“Moreover, wouldn’t it be better to keep the ‘magic scroll’ in case of emergencies?” The young wizard added. At this time, he had an owl on his shoulder, which could enhance his detection by three levels in dark environments.

Coupled with the level 6 detection enhancement from the vigilance specialty, it could be said to be a key element for early mages to survive.

“To me, time is more valuable.” Zhao Xu said.

He would not reveal an ability like enlightened spellcaster.

But to be honest, he didn’t need to prepare a magic book. According to Antonya, it was very ” cool “.

From then on, he would no longer need to bring a large number of magic books. The most ordinary blank magic book only had 100 pages, but the book already weighed 1.5 kilograms and cost 15 gold coins.

“Yanan,” At this moment, the young mage also revealed a thoughtful expression.

when zhao xu saw how tempted she was, he continued to let go.

He believed that his words would slowly spread after these people left.

at this time, Yanan has the ‘mage Association’ that moved from Starfall town, so the future mage division of the entire Wildlands will definitely be in Yanan.

the mages from the other countries won’t rashly enter the Wildlands to report their work. By then, the entire division will basically be made up of only player mages.

and I can tell you a piece of news in advance. The mages who have reached Yanan can carry out their authority in the mage Association as usual. That is, you can get two second-circle spells free of charge when you advance in rank, and you can receive them from Yanan.

Naturally, the premise was that the other party had to transfer their membership to Yanan.

For example, Zhao Xu’s registered membership in the Wizards ‘Association had been attached to Mystra. He had only been transferred to the Wizards’ Association of the fallen star Town after he had been appointed as the president.

In the process of the young wizard’s hesitation, another adventurer team suddenly emerged in front of them, which frightened the uncle rogue in front.

The current rogues were no longer using Lifestone to explore the way, but their lives.

They weren’t afraid of ordinary mechanical traps, but they were afraid of magic traps. If the fireball trap was triggered, perhaps one-third of the 20 players would fall.

Immediately after, the two unfamiliar teams also began to contact each other and exchanged information.

The good thing was that the higher-up players all had a tacit understanding of each other, and they had even joined a group chat before. So, Zhao Xu’s team had suddenly expanded to just over 50 people.

When the team introduced the last woman, everyone was so surprised that they forgot about her.

Even the three famous Rose sisters on Zhao Xu’s side were also staring at this woman.

She was the Pearl of Maca city, a level 7 Ranger, and the dwarven court’s front-line base on the surface.

At that moment, the rare Golden Hammer medal given by the dwarf court was still pinned on the chest of the high-ranking female player. Under the Daybreak spell cast on Qingyu’s longbow, which was also a Ranger, the medal glowed as if the light could flow.

“Mr. Gu Xing, long time no see.” At this moment, nateluya was smiling at Zhao Xu.

Everyone looked at Zhao Xu in surprise. It was clear that he wasn’t just a normal mage from Yanan.

Before she had transmigrated, she had relied on the weapon forging channels provided by the dwarven court to establish a merchant guild that had taken in almost 20% of Maca city’s market share. Her personal wealth was simply unimaginable.

Most of the dwarves ‘businesses were still in Maca city, and they were more cautious of strangers than the cunning humans. However, the dwarves were very generous to the few people they trusted, and it was in their nature to succumb to greed for gold, silver, and jewelry.

However, things were different when it came to the ” dwarven court, ” which was why Natalia was recognized as one of the few powerful individuals who had been able to reclaim her property after transmigrating.

As for the player Chambers of Commerce that had snowballed up with capital, they might have already been swallowed up.

This was also an adventure. The three rose sisters were closely grouped together. On the other hand, there were no less than 10 followers by her side, making up a third of the opposing team.

When she saw Zhao Xu bow slightly, a bashful smile appeared on natriya’s face as well. I really didn’t know how great you were back then. Back then, you represented the Midsummer Lord of Starfall town to purchase supplies, and because of the dwarven court’s instructions, I didn’t want to get too involved in the internal conflicts of the northern Alliance, so I missed out on the ‘deal’.

now that I think about it, the Midsummer Lord was preparing for the survival of the people after transmigrating.

then I’ll really be considered a sinner of Earth’s humans. I’m only suffering because of what I’ve suffered.

Zhao Xu just smiled and shook his head. miss natilia, I’m afraid you’ll have to verify this in person.

No matter how the real zhongxia explained this topic, there would always be dissatisfaction, so he didn’t give a formal answer.

In this world, no matter how well he did, there would always be people questioning him why he didn’t contact the higher-ups in the first place and why he didn’t use more means to let the vast number of people on earth know.

He would not have thought that the moment he opened his mouth, he would be ” targeted ” by this world for leaking secrets.

He had also left the Starfall town that Antonya and the goddess of magic were looking at. Back then, Zhao Xu didn’t dare to show off too much, so even if he was a player, he didn’t use his ” real identity ” to get to know them. He only used the name of the Starfall town’s wizard Association.

The Demon King of the abyss had been watching Zhao Xu the entire time.

Once the believers found out that zhongxia had left their sphere of influence and grazite had appeared again, Zhao Xu would have to bet on the goddess’s ” arrival ” coming true again. This was also why grazite thought that his name was Lonestar.

This included the mysterious underground cave.

Who knew if there were one or two believers of grazite among the players?

So, when Zhao Xu arrived at the teleportation portal and announced his identity, this mysterious space that was occupied by undead creatures would be the most dangerous moment he had ever been in since he transmigrated.

Zhao Xu then told her about how he had met her brother, the warrior white sand, and the female Warlock autumn rain.

upon seeing this, a hint of worry appeared on natriya’s face after her initial surprise, and she shook her head.

the Wildlands is like a furnace in troubled times. I can’t even protect myself, so what can I do to them? ”

Although the mysterious mage on the other side had told them the time and place of their encounter, as well as the general location of the camp, they were still in a daze.

However, the Wildlands was in a mess. Even the top level-7 and Level-8 players could die on the streets the next day.

As such, even if nateluya was extremely wealthy, there was nothing she could do.

“Are you really not going to look for her, Luna?” The female wizard beside her, who was also Natalia’s personal magic advisor, Fei Xu, said.

At this time, in the chaotic and mysterious area, everyone instinctively preferred to use their former ” game ID ” to address him.

However, natriya shook her head. in the current Wildlands, who can guarantee that they’ll be able to find a person and bring them back safely? ”

Although the priests of the gods and Yanan’s various major factions had sent people into the Wildlands, they were essentially just relief workers and might not help Natalia.

Especially since the other party didn’t even know who was her brother, there was no way he could help her.

“No,” she said. The female wizard, flying cotton, shook her head. even if the other fourth-circle Wizards have the ‘creature positioning spell’, they can’t provide any help. However, the Lonestar mage in front of us has seen your brother before, so he can use the biological positioning spell to locate your brother’s position.”

As she spoke, the female wizard, flying cotton, licked her lips and looked at Zhao Xu, who claimed to be a level 5. as long as we can provide you with that Level 4 scroll.

Immediately, a glint appeared in her eyes. 700 gold coins for a fourth-circle scroll might be a burden to others, but to her, it was not even enough to cover the deposit for a single weapon purchase.

we’ve always been short on magic scrolls. I can get a fourth-circle ‘creature positioning spell’ in Maca city, but here in the Wildlands, it’s impossible …

“and we’re still trapped here. we don’t even know if we can succeed or get out.”

Hearing this, the other people who had been looking at her enviously also turned gloomy.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have left my hometown. I don’t even know which camp my hometown is.” The eyes of the little sister of the three rose sisters, Qingyu, also turned red.

The current wilderness was no different from a sealed city on earth. Even the players only dared to explore the nearby areas. They had to take great risks even if they went far. Therefore, it was basically impossible to find their distant family members in the early stages.

This was also the reason why she was worried about her brother. He must have spent most of his time in the wilderness while searching for her. It was unknown whether he had survived the wave of undead just now.

“Just like my wife who was pregnant and was resting at her mother’s house, I continued to work in Pengcheng alone. In the end, I encountered this transmigration incident. I’m able to become a player thanks to the game, but my wife didn’t come to the city with me to save money. Now, she and the child in her stomach are still alive.” at that moment, a barbarian player seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and started crying, ” how are they going to survive in such a high-pressure environment? ”

don’t cry. All the battalions are registering your family members as players. If your wife knows that you’ve played Arthur before and reports it, she’ll at least receive better treatment. At most, there’ll be a discount because they can’t verify it. The eldest sister of the Three Sisters, Qing Li, hurriedly consoled.

at this moment, in the camp of the wildlands, the players had basically obtained high-level positions with their own strength.

The gun barrel rises from the political power.

In Arthur, which had no gunpowder, diode, or electromagnetic induction, the professional adventurers were like the ” gun body “.

After two weeks, the players quickly rose to the top and occupied the high ground, even with the three lower stats.

Countless commoners who had transmigrated realized that the originally high and mighty big shots ‘originally loud and clear voices were slowly becoming useless.

there used to be thousands of employees in the company, and a single email could make hundreds of people work overtime at the same time. but in arthur, the boss had to starve and freeze.

Those celebrities and internet celebrities who were surrounded by dozens of security guards no longer had their ” faces ” that could be exchanged for resources. They lost attention.

To everyone, living was already a very difficult thing.

The ” remaining power ” of the original powerful and wealthy classes on earth also began to collapse.

On the other hand, the new order that the players had built had all tacitly acknowledged a ‘rule’ that they were well aware of but were not clear about.

Treat the players ‘family well.

This way, even if his family was in another camp, they would be treated well.

The only thing he had to do was to treat the families of other players well.

This was also the biggest difference between the family treatment of the players and civilians.

Slowly, everyone’s emotions of missing their family also eased.

And Zhao Xu, who was still in the room, went back to his original question. Ms. Natalia, as long as you can join Yannan, I can help you achieve all the things you’ve mentioned.

I can even provide a ‘creature positioning spell’ scroll.

and I can also promise here that as long as you join Yanan, Yanan’s officials can give your brother the qualification of a mage apprentice.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was also experiencing the benefits of hiding his identity.

if it was zhongxia who offered such a price, it would be too low.

however, it was reasonable for him,’lone star’, to drive it.

Everyone looked envious when they heard what Zhao Xu had said, but no one raised any objections.

Value determined one’s status.

Among all the people present, nateluya had the highest status. Naturally, she was highly valued by the ” Lonestar ” mage from Yanan’s government.

Naturally, in return, nateluya would have to put the forging techniques he had obtained from the dwarven court into Yanan’s hands. She would even have to act as a middleman between the two forces.

“I …”

She was about to agree, but after some thought, she pursed her lips tightly. I can’t agree to this for now. I have to go back and discuss this with the core members of the Chamber of Commerce, because I’m no longer just representing myself.

“That’s it. I’ll give you an answer three days after we leave.”

“Sure.” Zhao Xu naturally agreed.

“Then, Ms. Nateluya, why did you guys come down?” His second sister, Qing Lu, suddenly asked. As a former priest, she had only come down because she had sensed that the path to her breakthrough was right below the cave.

And why would someone with enough resources and no need to risk her life come down?

I’m sorry, this is-” the female wizard beside him, flying cotton, immediately interrupted the question.

However, she immediately waved her hand. feixu, there’s no point in hiding it now. We can’t get any more benefits by ourselves. Why don’t we borrow everyone’s strength and see if we can find an opportunity? ”

As she spoke, she took out a crystal from her pocket and raised it high.

this is Orrin’s magic crystal. I got it from an undead creature’s skeleton.
