72 the eve of the journey
caesar’s convoy was scheduled to gather outside the town before dawn and set off. in order to prepare for the divine and arcane spells, zhao xu had to come online two hours earlier.
he didn’t cast much yesterday and kept all his spell slots, so he didn’t need to spend time preparing them.
But Zhao Xu, who was in the good faction, still obediently changed the spells he prepared after getting to know his four friends.
Multi-talented spellcaster could help Zhao Xu bypass the restrictions of preparing arcane and divine spells, but the price of two spell slots was quite high. A poor kid like Zhao Xu still had to be thrifty in the early stages.
preparing a spell usually required a quiet environment, so zhao xu found a normal room in the bar he was in the day before.
In Arthur’s towns, most of the taverns and inns were operated as one. Ordinary civilians wouldn’t stay there for no reason. Most of them were visited by adventurers. Hence, it was the easiest place for players to gather information.
After Zhao Xu finished meditating and praying, he started to clean and check his weapon.
the bag that antonya had given him in the beginning was actually filled with a lot of adventure supplies.
Although there were basically no magic items, there was a wide variety of them, enough to meet one’s adventure needs.
the light crossbow in his hand was his next long-range weapon. one shot with 1d8 damage was much higher than his level 0 spell.
This was also the reason why mage players were criticized for being inferior to dogs at Level 1. Their damage spells were not even as high as normal attacks or arrows.
However, this 35 gold pieces light crossbow was not something that even Mage players could purchase in bulk.
it wasn’t that the players were stingy and didn’t want to spend money on equipment, but they couldn’t afford arthur’s crossbows.
One gold coin could only be exchanged for 10 arrows. Basically, every empty shot meant that a silver coin had been dropped from the wallet.
after he checked how smooth the handle of the light crossbow was, zhao xu loaded an arrow and waited.
then, he polished the rough parts of his wooden stick and fastened it to his waist with a buckle.
in zhao xu’s previous life, he could actually use a two-handed greatsword very well, but right now, the special feature of the cleric class only gave him the ” expert in light weapons ” stage.
Unless he was willing to spend more of his specialties, it would be impossible for him to reach the ” expert ” realm when he used a military weapon like the greatsword again.
if he used it forcefully, he would lose the feeling of being one with his martial arts, and it would be harder to hit his opponent.
He looked at the hourglass and saw that it was almost time for the appointment, so Zhao Xu packed up his things and went straight downstairs.
at this time, the players were already online and were waiting for him in the carriage outside the tavern.
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows a little. Caesar was still an honest man. He was even willing to ask his men to drive a carriage to send them out of the city to meet up.
zhao xu said goodbye to fengye and the others, then got into the carriage. the wheels of the carriage wobbled as it slowly drove out of the city.
with an outsider like zhao xu around, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. the team that had been very friendly became silent.
Zhao Xu had ridden on wild horse carriages many times before, so he wasn’t surprised.
he re-examined his character cards and began to think of various plans.
when he had played against antonya earlier, he had been given guidance without a time limit, so he had been able to play his moves calmly and even back out.
it was the first time many players experienced a battle in the wild, a real life-and-death confrontation. their movements would be distorted, and it was not uncommon for their weapons to fall to the ground.
but as he looked at his character stats, zhao xu started to frown.
that line of [potential points: 0/5] had not changed since its appearance.
Zhao Xu could only sigh. In the eyes of the final scroll, this ability was even more powerful than a double elite.
Unfortunately, he could only recover it by leveling up, or wait for the day when he could cast a spell to recover his potential points.
The only thing he could do now was to imagine how he would defeat all the players in the future.
“Mr. Zhongxia, why didn’t you become a Bard like brother frog in the beginning? big brother frog also didn’t pass the apprentice training at the beginning, so he can cast spells even if he’s a poet. ”
the priestess, who was sitting in the corner, saw that zhao xu was frowning and deep in thought, so she spoke up to break the silence in the car.
when zhao xu heard this, he raised his head and was a little stunned.
Little girls these days had such a personality, but they still had to hit a sore spot.
The level 1 spell list for priests and the level 1 spell list for Wizards had some overlapping parts.
The players could tell at a glance.
Yesterday, he was afraid that he would cast a priest divine spell and a wizard arcane spell, which would arouse suspicion, especially when there were spellcasters like bards and priests in the field.
that was why he used the name “mentor,” a class that the players were not very familiar with.
As long as he used it, he would righteously say that it was his mentor’s spell.
zhao xu was well aware of the dangers of the wilderness, and he was also afraid that admitting that he had some skill would affect the judgment of these players.
the road ahead of the caravan was still fine, but if they really ran into danger in the sky broken mountain range, zhao xu was pretty sure that they would most likely die.
in arthur’s wilderness, there was no mention of monsters respawning by region. After frequent conflicts, the merchant team would become the focus of countless monsters.
The aftermath of the battle, the smell of wounded blood, and the startled birds were all signals to those monsters.
Therefore, if the situation wasn’t right, it would definitely be the best situation for everyone to run away.
If Zhao Xu was given Level 7, then he would still barely be able to play the role of a Tiger in a Wolf’s Den.
Now that he was Level 1, he was more of a self-help person.
zhao xu went straight to the underground organizations ‘smuggling caravans because he didn’t want to feel too much pressure when he ran.
in the face of evil, the good camp also knew how to run. those who didn’t run were called paladins.
Zhao Xu thought about it for a moment, but he still replied, ” “Because I caught a cold that day.”
Upon hearing this, rainbow, who was busy counting the caltrops in his hands, looked up at him.
“What does it matter?” the priest yoyo couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter if I don’t choose a poet or a teacher.” Xu Zhao said with a smile.
The entire carriage immediately fell silent again.
Zhao Xu was actually feeling pretty good about this. If he didn’t say this, this little cleric girl would probably ask him what spells he had prepared for the day.
When that time came, Zhao Xu wouldn’t be able to say anything, and he wouldn’t be able to say anything either, so it would be better to establish a cold and indifferent image from the start.
he would protect his own life, and he didn’t need to befriend these players to get them to protect him.
On the forums, there were already quite a few star players with powerful specialties.
if everyone received the same training, you would be different. if you learned additional specialties and spells, you would become special.
there had been posts on the forums about zhao xu becoming a cleric in a day, but the popularity had only died down after the thread starter couldn’t provide any new evidence for the past two days.
fame represented income for people on earth, but for someone like zhao xu, who had a lot of money, it was just a burden.
In an instant, the wheels that came to a sudden stop broke the silence in the car.
zhao xu was the first to pull open the curtain and get out of the carriage.
However, when he saw the carriages of supplies in front of him under the light of dawn, he suddenly had a headache.
it would be a blessing from the goddess if there were no accidents on this trip.
