The Truth of Magic Chapter 230

230 chapter 229/moving forward together

Zhao Xu, who had been a public security officer before, was probably the first person on the scene to realize why the fireball spell had appeared.

As a forr town security officer, he had a deep understanding of the political environnt between winter city and Starfall town.

it was a case of ‘slave trafficking’ and ‘murder’ that the players had accused.

It was a case of a fireball killing civilians in public.

The level of shock to the higher-ups of Winterfell was completely different.

Soone was stirring the water.

When he entered the city in the morning, he had just killed Wolland and the others with a fireball spell.

Then, in the afternoon, he went to register at the wizard Association in winter city.

As a result, sothing really happened here.

the third-circle sorcerer with the giant scythe on his back would beco the first suspect.

even if zhao xu turned around and explained things clearly, this “fireball” would have managed to scare off the players and winter city’s civilians, as well as buy them so ti.

Zhao Xu saw that the fireball was flying in his direction at high speed.

fortunately, the fireball was still like a fireball, and it had not exploded yet.

however, it could no longer be solved by magic, and the innocent people who were hit by the fireball had no ti to escape.

it was as if a massacre of dozens of people was about to happen.

Zhao Xu’s master level detection ability was over level 30, so he was able to instantly determine where the fireball would land.

however, zhao xu didn’t have the wings of the blazing sky god servant on him right now, so he couldn’t fly at the speed that allowed him to cover a distance of several dozen ters with a single flap of his wings.

he didn’t want to cause a commotion, so he didn’t choose to teleport.

In an instant, he chanted an extrely short spell,”attack!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic from the incantation started flowing into Zhao Xu’s body.

His body didn’t beco as light as a swallow, but his entire body seed to have entered a state of acceleration.

he had beco more sensitive, which ant that he was faster.

The level 3 “haste” was a good buff spell, and it was quite popular in the middle and late stages.

As the na suggested, this spell could increase the user’s speed, so both attack and defense would be improved.

In fact, in this state, his average attack frequency could even be faster, and his overall output increased.

however, zhao xu didn’t use his level 20 priest divine spell slot to cast this level 3 spell.

Because by the ti he finished casting this ‘move target’ spell, the fireball spell would have already exploded.

This ti, Zhao Xu used the spell slots in the scroll to cast the spell that only required swift action to cast, rapid acceleration.

this spell was a ranger’s second circle divine spell, which was very convenient to use.

the price was that the duration was much shorter, only lasting for 1 to 4 rounds (6-24 seconds).

And just like that, Zhao Xu only managed to chant a single-syllable incantation.

The speed of his whole body directly increased to a new level, reaching a speed of more than 10 ters per second, which was faster than the sprinting speed of the champion of the 100m sprint.

In an instant, he was less than seven ters away from the fireball.

At this mont, Zhao Xu didn’t stop walking. He even gently raised his protective Reiki.

Imdiately, an invisible protective barrier enveloped his surroundings, protecting this circular area of nearly a hundred square ters.

under the effect of the third layer of the ‘protective reiki’,’ secondary spell nullification barrier’, the fireball that had not landed on the ground disappeared.

it was completely blocked.

the entire process happened in a flash.

zhao xu had already walked over to the spot where the fireball had landed, and his barrier just so happened to cover the area where the fireball had exploded.

It directly eliminated the spell that had already been cast.

however, zhao xu’s eyes continued to scan the area below the plaza.

The surroundings were filled with people in casual clothes, raising their arms and shouting.

The main reason was that there were too many people. Many of them were waving their arms and shouting “revenge.”

the fireball spell was a “long distance” spell. with a casting distance of more than 100 ters, it was enough for the enemy to cast it randomly at the edge of the crowd and then escape easily.

so zhao xu couldn’t tell who had cast that spell just now. in fact, even with the crowd between them, the other party couldn’t see him clearly.

when zhao xu saw this, he imdiately activated his hide and stealth and left.

Both of these skills were over level 20, so even if there was soone among this group of players who could pin him down, they would lose him every few seconds.

This was the effect that could be displayed when the skill bonus exceeded level 20 and reached the master level.

If Zhao Xu wanted to get behind soone, with the level of his stealth after he rged with the angel, no one would be able to notice him.

After making sure that everything was fine, he gently turned off his ‘protective Reiki’, then turned around and walked back to where he had been standing.

zhang qi and the others were also looking at the speech on stage at this mont. when they noticed zhao xu walking back to them, they were stunned.

“Big brother, I thought you were angry, but I saw that you were really fast,” he said in a rather impassioned manner.

“It’s nothing. I also thought I t soone familiar.” Zhao Xu smiled as he explained to his roommate, Zhang Qi.

From the mont Zhao Xu found out about the seven prophecies ...

this ant that he wouldn’t be able to show his face among the other players, and no one would be able to connect him to that level 4 wizard player.

he didn’t want to beco a target so quickly. he didn’t want to be on the watch list of the large organizations and be suspected of being a candidate for the seventh prophecy.

“Qi, I want to save those people and take revenge for Xiao Ya and the others.” The woman standing beside Zhang Qi said. She was Zhang Qi’s girlfriend, Feng GE.

He had also successfully been promoted to a level 1 cleric this month, which also relieved the pressure on Zhang Qi and the others.

” baby, let’s go. let’s go together. xu-ge told so of the details. ” zhang qi said.

He had already discussed the matter of the Starfall Lake with Zhao Xu.

It was just that their initial idea was to build a small piece of land for players in the open space around the Starfall Lake area.

This also gave the players a quiet place to rest, so many people ran to the City Hall, trying to complete the procedures.

However, their behavior of not seeking a mining city was also suppressed by the mining Association, and there were several small conflicts between the two sides.

he didn’t expect the players ‘investigation to be so explosive.

once the ” slave trafficking ” behavior was confird, the church of good gods would not let it go so easily. this was also the reason why the mining association needed to cover it up as soon as possible.

The ‘class Union’ that Zhang Qi and the others joined, as well as the entire University League, had the sa initial consensus.

the forces in winter city were deeply rooted, so they might as well start from scratch and set up a base in the fallen star lake, a place where players often went.

The players did not intend to invade the mining Association’s territory at first, but they were still greatly boycotted.

That was why so players had secretly ford an investigation team to find out the reason for the resistance. In the end, they had finally uncovered the secret of the slave trader.

when zhao xu flipped through the entire battle of fallen star lake, he already knew about this.

it was not only driven by the players ‘interests, but also by the burst of justice in the players’ hearts.

Therefore, with several pushing forces, it was out of control.

At this ti, Fang Jiyue, cui Lu, and a few others also ca up from behind the crowd.

“It’s all over the place right now. I just had an exchange with a few students in charge of the other classes. I guess everyone will be setting off to the Starfall Lake tonight.” fang jiyue explained to zhang qi and the others.

“It’s fine. There will probably be a lot of people going tonight. We’ll team up and take turns to keep watch. It shouldn’t be a problem.” Zhang Qi said.

At this mont, he was also secretly shocked. When he and Zhao Xu had been trying to figure out what would happen in fallen star Lake, he hadn’t really taken it to heart.

However, the entire developnt was gradually approaching the original idea.

The stage was set up so quickly, and news of what happened quickly spread throughout winter city.

He had followed Zhao Xu’s advice and communicated with the newly ford League of rcenaries in the QQ group chat. That was how they had co up with the appropriate plan.

However, no one had expected that the three or four search teams that were specially assigned to search for them would actually find sothing on the first day, and it was such a serious matter.

“Zhang Qi, you’ve really predicted it this ti. We can be prepared in advance.” cui lu smiled sweetly and praised zhang qi.

however, she couldn’t help but think of the few points that the forum god ” dongcheng kun ” had ntioned to her.

After Zhang Qi gave his feedback, everyone had a heated discussion.

it was just that the majority still felt that they should continue to work steadily and take the route of the city hall.

They didn’t expect the reality to slap them so hard, waking them up on the spot.

In particular, many players who held on to their beliefs and chose Paladins and priests from the good camp were the most impassioned this ti, vowing to fight to the death with the mining Association.

Even if the entire league of rcenaries didn’t step forward, the players who had been acting as healers since the beginning of the adventure wouldn’t agree.

no, I’ve said it many tis. It was Xu-GE who reminded and specifically deduced the current situation with . zhang qi said.

“sigh, but wang daqiang, li tiange, and the others still insist that we shouldn’t go to the fallen star lake. If they think that Arthur’s residents are dead, then they are dead. What does it have to do with US players?” The Barbarian player, Zhao Xu’s classmate, du Nan, said.

He was usually a little naive, but he wasn’t a scheming person, so he had a good relationship with everyone.

“Du Nan, don’t care about them.” Fang Jiyue said with a hint of anger.

in fact, the situation was already like an arrow on a bow.

these days, everyone had been constantly communicating with each other, and they would not stop because of one or two people’s objections.

“don’t worry, all of us in the first grade can basically reach a consensus.” fang jiyue concluded.

at this mont, her gaze suddenly fell on zhao xu. she noticed that zhao xu had been listening to their conversation.

He thought about how Arthur had its own intelligence gathering work, and so players even worked hard for the mining Association.

fang jiyue couldn’t help but look suspicious.

“i’m a priest, wind. It just so happens that I’m under orders to head to the Starfall Lake to investigate. I wonder if it’s convenient for to travel with you tonight?”

Zhao Xu smiled and invited a few of his classmates.

At this mont, he had already turned to the side and looked at everyone, revealing the Holy emblem on his chest.

He knew very well that he didn’t need to search for it.

As long as he stayed with the players, the natural mining Association would co to him.

Then, he could use the scythe in his hand to find the portal.
