692 The words that can explain everything
Generally speaking, the runic turret, which was extremely complicated in both workmanship and structure, was not the kind of creation that could be done at will.
After many years of experience, there were a few relatively stable and outstanding runic turrets that stood out.
For example, the tomb’s cannon tower was equipped with four 7-circle priest divine spells, power of law, rejection, ashes, and smoke, and Level 7 monster summoning spells. It was specially placed in the depths of the tomb and would kill intruders without mercy.
The ” Holy Forest Cannon tower “, which was specially used to guard the forest, was equipped with a level five Druid divine spell, which could summon nature’s ally, Stoneskin, animal mutation, and summon thunderstorm. In essence, it was to summon an animal first, then strengthen it with two other spells, and then add a thunderstorm to suppress the situation. Even if they fought more, they could still turn the situation around.
The ” treasure room turrets ” that most mages secretly set up for themselves were equipped with four-circle wizard arcane spells, confusion, Phantom Killer, fear, and Blizzard. Essentially, they were mainly used to block and suppress, so that they could entangle and even control the opponent before their master returned, which was convenient for follow-up intelligence investigation.
However, most of the magic apprentices of Mystra had seen the most of the mage Union’s turrets, which were directly used on the ninth-circle arcane spells-energy absorption, meteor blast, and power Word: Death, imprisonment technique.
Among them, the meteor blast was mainly used to create a huge light effect to attract the attention of others, while the other three were all capable of killing people. Weakening, death, and imprisonment were the only offensive attacks.
It could be said that these cannon towers were spells carefully selected for their own specific purpose.
Therefore, when they played an important role in their own aspects, they also revealed their characteristics of being easily targeted.
For example, if the entire dense forest was set up with such turrets, then it would be fine as long as they were prepared to protect animals and added with some lightning resistance spells.
however, the formation in front of him had no rules and was completely random. it was dazzling just by scanning it with the secret visual technique. it was impossible to deal with it.
It was a magic storm with no blind spots!
Even if he took out the sixth-circle spell, anti-magic field, it was still difficult to solve the current problem.
Not to mention the fact that the physical objects created by flying sand and stones could enter the anti-magic field, the simultaneous explosion of ” great disintegration ” at the ninth ring was enough to make his anti-magic field suffer.
Mage’s disjunction had a 1% chance of destroying an anti-magic field for every level the caster was at.
Zhao Xu’s expression changed again!
In the instant that the hundreds of ninth-circle spells smashed over, even if he used various physical walls to block the cracking, they would still be easily destroyed by other spells!
This meant that he would be caught off guard by mage’s disjunction!
On the spot, all the magic items were reduced to white boards.
that could be said to be a huge amount of assets worth millions of gold.
At this moment, Zhao Xu’s eyes were filled with a sense of helplessness as he looked around at the situation around him.
Mage’s disjunction ignored resistance, so it was useless for him to pile up any more spell resistance.
No matter how high one’s martial arts was, one would still be afraid of a vegetable knife.
He finally understood the power of a ninth-circle sorcerer!
The moment a dozen ninth-circle sorcerers cast ” mage’s disjunction ” at the same time, even a legendary sorcerer would be terrified, or rather, regret it for the rest of his life.
A way?
Zhao Xu kept thinking about this, and his hands never stopped casting the spell.
Five-ring stone wall!
It stretched out from the next wall, and even though it was only as thick as a finger, it formed all sorts of complicated shapes according to Zhao Xu’s will, and it looked like it was going to cover the entire sky.
4th-circle salt wall!
The glittering salt crystal wall continued to extend out of the wall, even connecting with the stone wall statue.
four ring sand wall!
4th circle water wall spell!
Five ring lava wall!
Four-ringed wall of dragon scales!
All of these things, whether they were useful or not, were being created one by one by Zhao Xu’s hands. They could create physical existences that wouldn’t be destroyed by the anti-magic field.
For a moment, the basketball court-sized secret room almost turned into a maze.
But after testing it out, Zhao Xu realized that the impact of these Level 1 and Level 2 spells was quite strong, and they destroyed quite a few walls.
Considering that there was still dissociation, which could cause great destruction at the sixth-circle level, he had an even bigger headache.
Zhao Xu’s heart started to feel numb when he saw the countless rays of magic light flying all over the place.
At this moment, he was also thinking of a solution in his mind.
It was a pity that he could not cast a sixth-circle arcane spell, or the infinite anti-magic field would overlap.
Otherwise, if he followed this train of thought, he might really be able to successfully block it.
After casting an anti-magic field, other people would not be able to cast another spell within the area, so there would usually not be two overlapping anti-magic fields.
But Zhao Xu was different. He could use Iron Heart to suppress the anti-magic field and then cast another one. If it was paired with twin, it would be four anti-magic fields, which should be quite durable against mage disintegration.
At that time, he only needed to focus on defending against the non-magic fragments.
Of course, he had also thought of the idea of layering walls on top of an anti-magic field, but it was too extreme and there was no room for error.
In the end, it was because he didn’t bring enough anti-magic field scrolls. If he had a thousand anti-magic field scrolls, he wouldn’t have to fear a mere hundred arcane cannons.
As for now …
Forget it, he could only admit defeat.
Zhao Xu lowered his head obediently and glanced at the number book on his thigh.
It was time to ask for help from the audience.
As for the way to ask for help …
The “wind Messenger” spell in the second ring used the wind to transmit information to a designated location, so it was definitely not usable in this secret room.
As for the fifth ring’s ” telepathic bond, ” although he deliberately maintained a mental connection even though they were separated by the ends of the earth, the prerequisite was to cast the spell at a close distance. This door was also blocked.
The best choice left was the fifth-circle wizard arcane spell, ” short message “!
As long as the other party was familiar with it, as long as the other party had more than 1 intelligence point, they would be able to understand the contents of the short message spell. It could even send messages across planes!
Using a level 5 spell slot to transmit a ” sentence ” of less than twenty-five words naturally had its meaning!
“Mentor! Help! I’m trapped at the location of Ernest’s Secret treasure!”
Zhao Xu immediately spelled out this sentence, and the power of the incantation immediately took it out and sent it flying into the sky.
[ adventurer zhongxia, your ‘short message’ involves a sensitive word. Your message has failed. ]
eh?
They really blocked all communication?
That’s impossible!
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel confused.
But he immediately focused his mind, and at the same time, the model of the entire spell was reflected in his mind.
If even something like the “short message technique” could be easily blocked, then it would truly be overbearing to the point of no end.
At this moment, he was also thinking of a way to deal with this.
Slowly, when the rune cannon tower in the outside world reached level 13, Zhao Xu was already lying on the ground, trying to figure out why his short message spell had been blocked.
Or rather, it was because something was blocked.
He was like an electrician looking for a short circuit point in his house, constantly working on the entire blueprint.
Most of the situations he had encountered before were suppressed by another spell, so he naturally had no need to delve into this kind of obvious rule.
however, from the prompt in the status bar, this matter was not that simple.
But as time went by, Zhao Xu’s heart was also filled with endless torment.
his rationality told him that he should give up and quickly find another way. he decisively ignored the silence of time.
however, the dignity of a mage convinced him that this was the right move for a mage.
He was like a teenager who was calculating the last big question on an examination field, using the old method to calculate with difficulty. However, the dawn had not come, and the countdown was approaching.
However, if he really gave up, it would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he would have to start all over again.
no matter how he thought about it, he was unwilling.
At this moment, Zhao Xu was determined to get rid of all other thoughts and focus on analyzing the reason why the spell couldn’t pass.
The mystical knowledge skill in his mind would help him search for relevant background knowledge every few seconds.
Finally, just as the third circle’s blast wave was about to end, Zhao Xu suddenly stood up.
he immediately shook his head with a bitter smile.
He didn’t expect that this secret room actually had a keyword block.
There were thousands of spells in the world, but the activation cellar didn’t target any of them one by one. Instead, he directly monitored the entire communication chain.
anything related to the ‘vocabulary library’, such as’ help’, would be directly blocked.’treasure’ or whatever, would probably be the most important.
Therefore, the “short message technique” method had been blocked.
But Zhao Xu had noticed a small crack in it.
Third-circle spell, sand whisper.
This spell described the identity of the creature he wanted to communicate with in his mind, and then Zhao Xu would be able to speak and wait for the other party to respond.
This communication method used sand as a medium, so there was a certain possibility that he would miss the first word.
But needless to say, this was probably his only chance.
He could only convey a single word to Antonya.
what kind of words in arthur’s lingua franca did he need to use to make antonya understand that he was in danger?
And how could she guess where he was now?
In particular, he definitely couldn’t use the sensitive terms like treasure or help.
it didn’t even pass the basic filter, so zhao xu didn’t believe that there weren’t thousands of common words in it.
This meant that the word that Zhao Xu had chosen had to be safe enough to avoid the entire black box of sensitive words that he had.
As he thought about this, he saw that the third round of the rune cannon towers was about to reach the last two waves, and he started to frown.
It also meant that when the next level 4 spell came, he would be busy and would have no time to care about anything else.
the most restrictive thing for a person was not telling them where the “minefield” was.
After drawing the line of the cliff, everyone would naturally stop at the edge. Some of them even had to do some fancy tricks and show off their excellent driving skills, acting like the experienced drivers of Mount Akina.
however, with their eyes blindfolded, even if they knew that they would be fine if they took a few more steps, it would still make them consciously not want to gamble!
The problem was that time was running out.
he had to hurry up and send out a key word to tell antonya about his current situation!
Zhao Xu looked around him, but he was very confused.
Until …
he saw a strange-shaped wall that he had just created with the stone wall spell, but it was still destroyed by the spell bombardment.
But it also made Zhao Xu suddenly remember a scene from the past.
He immediately knelt down and grabbed the sand that had just been condensed by the ‘sand wall’ and then smashed into pieces-sand whisper!
“Sister!”
At that moment, Zhao Xu used all the strength in his body to shout out those words.
Even when the first sound came out of his mouth, the other half of his voice had already been blocked by the monitoring system, and the sand in his hand had no strength to continue flowing to the ground.
Finally, the three-ring rune cannon tower completed its historical mission in this second. It slowly turned around and shrank back into the wall.
The cold congratulatory words for clearing the stage continued to ring in the void, as well as the arrival of the fourth round.
But Zhao Xu was already very relaxed. He looked at the Dragon-headed rune cannon towers that were slowly rotating in front of him with a relaxed expression.
At the same time, they were also slowly gathering arcane energy.
He watched as the spell was about to condense and shoot towards him, but Antonya still didn’t appear.
zhao xu finally realized that something was off.
or was it intercepted?
Was Antonya so stupid that she couldn’t react in time?
Zhao Xu couldn’t help but start mumbling to himself in his heart.
this was already an extremely obvious hint, okay? zhao xu shouted in his heart.
He couldn’t smile anymore.
Devil split and dispel! Black tentacles! Force field ball! Confusion! ice storm! curse! Weakening spell! Plague!
Through his secret sight, he could see his familiar four-ring friends.
In the past, he would use these to smash his enemies, causing them to be in excruciating pain.
but now, it had changed.
Finally, other than the Dragon-headed runic turrets on the other five walls underground, they all fired at the same time. It was as if tens of thousands of ships were firing their cannons at the same time during a great voyage!
Tens of thousands of horses swarmed!
The arcane Torrent covered the sky.
In the face of such a spell bombardment, even in the face of a huge Army, they would be overshadowed and choose to escape on the spot to avoid the sharp edge!
zhao xu’s field of vision was suddenly filled with a dazzling light.
“You’re really big-hearted.”
“Or are you stunned? You still have a 6-circle anti-magic field scroll on you.”
At this moment, a pretty female voice rang out. Antonya’s graceful figure slowly appeared in front of Zhao Xu.
[ adventurer zhongxia, you have been affected by the 6th-circle anti-magic field effect. You can not cast spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. ]
“Iron core strength!”
zhao xu instinctively activated this ability and was instantly protected from antonya’s magic suppression.
Looking at how Zhao Xu was still in shock, Antonya’s light yellow robe fluttered in the wind as she asked softly, ” you’re so sure that I’ll definitely appear? ”
Zhao Xu, who had regained his composure, raised his eyebrows. I called you ‘big sister’ once at the entrance of the lost inheritance office in ITRE.
“I think you should be able to recall, right? Naturally, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to find me in the other hidden treasure.”
“Hmph,” he snorted. antonya turned her head slightly. ” you’re smart. ”
At this moment, she was humming a song.
