306 embalming the body
When everyone ca out of the underground stone room, they all had different expressions.
the notebook that the whole team was targeting was hidden in a lead box, wrapped in a hemp rope.
in arthur, lead products were often used to block out the effects of detection spells. after the notebook was placed inside, it beca quiet and stopped flying towards zhao xu.
Zhao Xu suspected that this was so sort of convergence ability.
he had once placed two laptops side by side without any reaction.
back in the underground temple, he had andy’s notebook in his bag, as well as spectre’s notebook in his hands. throughout the entire process, nothing unusual had happened.
when he stuck the two laptops together, the two began to rge.
Unlike now, the mont he took it out, the notebook flew towards him unconsciously.
Therefore, he suspected that it was because his notebook had beco ” 2/7 “, so the other ” 1/7 ” was automatically attracted to it.
and everything that happened under the stone room could not be concealed. as the players went down and whispered, the mbers of the watchn guild quickly understood what had happened.
this caused zhao xu to receive another round of looks of surprise and admiration.
“Don’t you think there’s a mastermind behind all this?”
“You’re thinking too much,”
if not, where have you heard of such an item that automatically recognizes its master? even divine artifacts aren’t that intelligent.
” or are we actually involved in a large epic plot of arthur? ”
” i think that’s a possibility. the wizard tower might just fly into the sky on the spot. ”
As he listened to all these crazy discussions, Zhao Xu had no choice but to steer his Phantom Stallion further away from the other teams in case he got infected.
Just now, even though the notebook had flown over by itself, they had still been in the stone room and flipped through it to look at the true and detailed address of the mage Tower. as for the specific details of the tower, they would analyze it when they set up camp at night.
Because of this, Zhao Xu found out that the wizard Tower had sunk into the moon Mirror Lake, which was about a day away from the swamp.
on the map, mirror moon lake was already close to sunset peak valley, where all kinds of powerful monsters occupied. this was also one of the risks of this trip.
after he ca out of the swamp, zhao xu intentionally stayed far away from frostsword in order to put so distance between him and the notebook. he also had a large soul catcher following him around, so it wasn’t a big problem.
He was also afraid that if he got too close, even the lead box would not be able to block the connection between the two laptops.
watching a laptop fly around in the wild might attract the attention of an enemy who was observing in the dark, and they might intercept it.
Therefore, everyone agreed that they could only open the lead box and read the contents of the notebook in a closed room.
In reality, Zhao Xu had no other choice. Out of everyone present, he was the only one who wasn’t suited to hold that lead box.
According to the agreent, the wizard Tower would eventually belong to him. If Zhao Xu still had the notebook, then he could tamper with the records of traps and hidden treasures in the notebook at any ti and make it possible that he didn’t hide any of the treasures.
more importantly, he was afraid that the two notes would start to rge again before he entered the wizard tower, and sothing unpredictable would happen.
after a while, a few of the higher-ups in the guild lowered their heads and whispered to frostsword, but frostsword still ran over to zhao xu.
“mr. gale, please wait.” the frost sword wasn’t going very fast, and when zhao xu heard the noise, he pulled on the horse’s reins a little to control its speed.
“what?” Zhao Xu turned around and looked at him, confused.
Mr. Gale, after our discussion, we feel that it’s better to leave this ‘lead box’ with you. Frostsword said.
Zhao Xu hesitated for a mont after hearing this.
he noticed the sincerity on frost sword’s face, and after all the ti they had spent together, he realized that frost sword was not the kind of person who would retreat in order to advance.
By saying this to him, it was possible that she was truly handing it over to him.
“no, it won’t be too late to give this notebook after you’ve collected all the wealth in the wizard tower.” zhao xu declined.
if he really wanted it, he could’ve collected the notebook as a senior investigator of rose cross under the stone room.
Since there was already a case where the Andy family, also known as the Asaph family, had the devil’s bloodline, it was in line with the rules for Zhao Xu to use all his might as an investigator.
“Mr. Gale, I’m not in a good position to do so.” Frost sword’s expression was serious.
first, we believe in your character, Mr. Gale. Second, we might be targeted this ti.
“So, once a battle breaks out, it’s very likely that soone will be taken away or that lead box will be taken away, and the most likely outco will be death. if he dies, i can’t be sure of the final victor’s condition. he’ll definitely choose to resurrect imdiately and let ‘lead box’ return to mystra.”
“And if it’s you, Mr. Gale, who has it, with your strength, your survival rate will be higher, and you’ll be able to take the notebook with you. Even if you really can’t win, you can choose to transfer the item to my teammates and let them kill themselves to resurrect and transfer the item away.” It was as if frostsword was trying to convince Zhao Xu to keep the lead box, so he ca up with a very convincing reason.
this ant that if the owner of frostsword died, even if zhao xu and the others won, they would still have to go ho.
zhao xu frowned a little when he heard this. it was indeed a critical mont in the battle, and everyone basically didn’t have much ti to worry about anything else unless zhao xu was willing to tell the other party that he had a ti backtrack talisman that could help them avoid this situation.
however, zhao xu had another ” notebook ” in his backpack right now, and he didn’t want to cause any more trouble. if he were to fuse with it again in his backpack, where would he go to change back to his original notebook and show it to frostsword?
This was especially so for the fact that the notebook required the blood of the Errol family to be obtained. He was already a little worried that the wizard Tower would have similar requirents. Once the notebook was fused, where was he going to find another token like this?
After all, with an additional layer of isolation in the underground stone room, it would prevent the enemy from capturing the descendants of the Errol family and forcefully opening the wizard Tower.
It was just that the notebook had only vaguely ntioned this.
Zhao Xu thought about it and decided to comfort him. don’t worry. You’re really dead. If necessary, I’ll use a body preservation spell to delay your resurrection. make sure that the notebook won’t go back to mystra.”
when an ordinary person died, all that was left was a corpse, and all the equipnt would be picked up by the enemy.
due to the projection and the lifestone, players would be in a period of unconsciousness once they died. only during this period of ti would the player’s body still materialize, and the corpse could be searched.
Once the player’s consciousness woke up in the Temple of Life creation, they could continue to wait for their body to be resurrected by spells for more than ten days.
However, most players would choose to resurrect with a Lifestone.
As long as this option was chosen, the player’s body would beco an intangible body that would disappear after half an hour. This period of ti was also the waiting period for the last ‘spell’ to resurrect.
After half an hour, the virtual body would disappear, and the player would resurrect near the temple. Therefore, Arthur would not have two players ‘bodies at the sa ti.
when zhao xu had been saving his classmates who had been killed by the sorcery giant, the people who had fallen to the ground at that ti had all turned into intangible forms and were just waiting to be revived. after that, zhao xu used a miracle spell to resurrect the entire group, and their virtual bodies naturally beca real, and their souls returned to their original positions.
the ” embalming of the body “, a level 2 and level 3 spell for priests and mages, could preserve the dead body for several days, thus delaying the resurrection ti limit of the ” resurrection of the dead “.
in the later stages, when everyone had so money or after using up the lifestone, they would often cast a ” body embalming ” spell and then carry it back to the temple in the big town, looking for an opportunity to use a resurrection spell.
however, after the priest players reached level 3, the ” embalming ” spell was often abused to plunder corpse equipnt.
Once this spell was cast on a player after they died, they would be completely in a physical state instead of an ethereal state, and their equipnt could be forcibly removed. The body would only disappear after half an hour of forced resurrection.
In fact, half an hour was enough for him to do anything.
in particular, after a few cases of players successfully taking revenge and stripping their equipnt, making the other party poor after resurrecting, everyone was even more vigilant about this spell.
When frostsword heard what Zhao Xu said, he thought that Zhao Xu was just trying to avoid being suspected, so he quickly comforted Zhao Xu and insisted on sending the lead box over.
and zhao xu had a reason that he couldn’t take it yet, so he had no choice but to reject it again.
For a mont, the mbers of the Watchn Guild looked at the two people pushing and blocking each other, feeling sowhat baffled.
“Didn’t the Guild leader go over to deliver the lead box? that thing is now equivalent to half a Wizard Tower, right? From the looks of it, I thought it was a bomb.”
” sigh, this gale mage is too honest and reliable. ”
that’s right. It seems like we’re quite lucky to have t such an honest and reliable mage.
just as the two of them were trying to avoid him.
soul catcher, who was at level 18 scout and level 24 listen, the strongest of all the players, suddenly stopped and looked at a spot in the forest. everyone focused their attention and looked over.
In front of them, in the area overgrown with grass and difficult to see through, the faint sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
