Truth of Magic

“Mage of Midsummer.”

Squatting in front of the stone Transmission Gate, Master Carl, who operated the contact device in his hand, saw Zhao Xu walking over and immediately After the box was closed, there was no gap at all, then stood up and moved towards him and said hello.

Master Carl’s robe is really the core member badge of the “Transmission Gate Strategic Team”, and a series of Transmission Gate completion awards on his resume show his rich experience.

When many cities in Arthur need to build Transmission Gate, they all need their group members to visit in person.

Otherwise, even if the chairman of the branch of the association of the town is a nine-ring mage, it will not help.

So even though Master Carl is only a five-ring master, this seems to be the best from the outside world, but the association is only a middle-level status, and he still receives great respect and generous hospitality in the towns he goes to.

Not to mention, he is only 40 years old in his early years, and he can completely bring it up a level before entering his old age.

It’s just that Master Karl, no matter how arrogant he is, will not despise the “Mage Midsummer” who is only 20 years old in front of him.

Even if the opponent is just an “earth player”.

The 20-year-old Fifth Ring Road is already a legendary powerhouse that is ironclad.

Or “appointed”.

Before coming over, he had been greeted by no less than three senior leaders of the association, including his immediate boss.

The content is only one sentence, as long as Zhongxia’s request is not excessive, try to satisfy him.

However, this “satisfaction”, Carl definitely does not include the “contact device” in front of him.

Only through this set of devices can this Transmission Gate be able to smoothly access the current network, otherwise it will be separated from an island outside the network.

If this is not the case, Zhao Xu’s Transmission Gate is only one-way. It is transmitted to the designated location and then disappeared.

If he has to make it two-way, he must build an additional Transmission Gate at the designated location, and he must also station personnel there, otherwise as long as someone breaks into the Transmission Gate on the opposite side, he will be able to directly reach the falling star The Transmission Gate on this side of the town is the core area of ​​the association’s residence.

“You continue to be busy. Recently, I was also quite curious about the topic of’Transportation’, so I came here to take a look.” Zhao Xu said.

On the other side, his gaze is continuously scanning the more than ten alchemists and Master Karl in the venue.

Hearing what Zhao Xu meant, Master Carl didn’t say much. He just rescanned the eye contact device box. It was closed and the secret inside was covered, so he continued on a drawing board. The value is calculated on the above.

Carl, who has worked for many years, has enough experience to deal with these “curious” wizards.

Zhao Xu grinned too much about this, and his sense of secrecy was strong enough.

Actually, the overwhelming majority work of the Transmission Gate network has been completed in Mystra, and Karl is more about building an “interface”.

Normally, the construction price of a one-way Transmission Gate is 50,000 Gold Coin materials and sufficient life energy is required, while the market price is 100,000 Gold Coin.

And Zhao Xu, which is just a Transmission Gate connected to the network, only needs to pay half the price, which is 25,000 Gold Coin materials, and the market price is 50,000 Gold Coin.

Generally, this fee is paid by the local mage association, so Zhao Xu is waived this time.

Basically, the daily construction progress is about 1000 Gold Coin. Based on the market price of 50,000 Gold Coin, it will take about 50 days to complete.

It’s just that Zhao Xu has more than one destination delineated this time. One more destination requires an additional 25% Gold Coin, so it will be completed in about 60 days, which happens to be the earth’s crossing node.

In reality, the standard Transmission Gate that uses this material is not mainstream.

Most organizations don’t use Transmission Gate frequently, so many things are limited versions that are cheaper, such as Transmission Gate that limits the number of times per day. It’s even cheaper to use it once every few days. .

“Mr. Zhongxia, your Transmission Gate has set up multiple destinations. Will it be activated by password?”

“Yes.” Zhao Xu nodded and said .

“You do not need to set a password and send it to other locations, such as the abyss of purgatory.”

“This is not necessary.”

Zhao Xu declined.

It’s just that his eyes are locked in the box under Master Carl.

The access point of the Mage Association is limited to screening in towns that currently have Transmission Gate.

So Zhao Xu could not select the “land of arrival” through which the earth passed as the teleportation target, and the association would not agree.

Because this is the risk that the entire transmission network is exposed to the land of descent.

But if he re-established a standard 100,000 Gold Coin Transmission Gate, the day lily will be cold for 100 days.

So Zhao Xu will inevitably use the Transmission Gate of the “land of descent” as a subsidiary gate of the Transmission Gate of Fallen Star Town, so as to control the 50-day manufacturing period of 50,000 Gold Coins.

This means that he needs the key to the “contact device” in Master Carl’s hand.

At that time, as long as he does not access Mystra, the Transmission Gate of “Starfall Town” and “Descent Land” will be a secret two-way passage, and will not disturb the magic capital.

The problem is that Master Carl seems to regard that device more importantly than his life.

For the average person, the operating principle of Transmission Gate is extremely mysterious and complicated, and it is impossible to crack.

But Zhao Xu, a 29-intellectual and five-ring mage with potential points, is not a problem.

Given these devices, he can be even better than Master Carl.

After exhaling a deep breath, Zhao Xu’s gaze continued to fall on Master Carl.

Now Zhao Xu is no longer an ignorant person. He has never considered victory before defeat.

If it really fails this time.

At that time, he will have to find a way to use the “Transmission Formation” of the Nine Rings in the “Land”.

Think of this, Zhao Xu slightly smiled.

He glanced at his dynamic bar prompt at this time.

[adventurer Midsummer, you perform the four-ring Paladin divine technique, “the pity of the martyrs”. 】

【Adventurer Midsummer, “The Mercy of the Martyrs” takes effect. You are immune to bruises, charms, coercion effects, and immunity to dizziness, exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, nausea, trance, and shock effects, lasting Time: 6064 minutes (spell delay)]

Phantom sound!

A strange noise suddenly sounded at the door of the room, as if someone was coming close and peeping.

The originally tense Mage Carl turned his head and yelled, “Who!”

At this moment, Zhao Xu made a very slight sound from his throat in an instant——

“Quick burst!”

In an instant, this four-ring spell made Zhao Xu’s whole body enter bullet time, as if the time borrowed from him from the future, everything around in this brief The moment stopped.

The magnifying glass thrown by an alchemist to the apprentice is just suspended in the air.

Zhao Xu glanced at the audience, no doubt most of them were attracted by the abnormal noise just now.

At this time, he was beside Master Carl. This mysterious box with the Transmission Gate key was also out of Master Carl’s attention for the first time.

Only a moment.

I was stretched by Zhao Xu to a full standard action time.

Enough Zhao Xu to cast the last spell.

But Zhao Xu squatted gently, just spreading out this device casually and scanning.

After a few seconds, he closed the box and stood up again.

When Master Carl was doing construction, he opened this box so that it would not arouse suspicion.

Otherwise, Master Carl will definitely make all kinds of secret notes before going to sleep, Zhao Xu may be exposed by accident.

And through the potential point to simulate the “Transmission Gate manufacturing” expertise, coupled with reading a lot of classics in this area, Zhao Xu looked at the contents of the box, there is no strange feeling at all.

Knowledge is the driving force of all the actions of the mage.

Immediately, the time Zhao Xu borrowed from “Future” ends here, and the flow of time returns to normal.

The thrown Telescope also steadily fell into the hands of the apprentice craftsman.

After being distracted, no one noticed what happened just now.

Even if Zhao Xu is stronger, he can directly use a spell to “stop time” and watch the box for five full rounds.

At that time, it was useless even if everyone was staring at the box.

While he turned his head and saw that there was nothing unusual, Master Carl turned his head in an instant and stared at his “contact device”.

The box made of winter wood still stays firmly in the position just now, and is closed tightly.

The impossible was opened in an instant.

While Mage Karl was relaxed, he was a bit sorry, and felt that he was too suspicious.

At this time, Zhao Xu directly communicated, “I’ll see what’s going on outside, and send a few more guards to patrol by the way.”

The Zhao Xu who succeeded in the goal laughed. To leave.

———

“You got it?” Wang Ningwei asked curiously, watching Zhao Xu reappear in the wooden board house.

“That’s for sure.”

Zhao Xu nodded, then handed over the “key content” he had just memorized.

Wang Ningwei also sighed at this time, “This Master Karl is also too cautious.”

“Every time I use that box, I use True Vision Gem, although this 75,000 Gold Coin The advanced Rare Item can only be used non-continuously for 30 minutes a day, but it is enough to cover.” Zhao Xu agreed, “Otherwise, my secret technique will be enough to peek behind him.”

“And he also uses ten minutes a day to cast a five-ring spell’Mage’s Chamber’, just to prevent detection of the spell.”

“Even the treasure chest will not be seen by other craftsmen at all, otherwise I Reading with memory has already been successful.”

For Master Carl’s caution, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but sigh with his forehead.

The mage has enough means to know the secret.

It’s just that when the other party is also a mage, he is easy to hit a wall.

Unless you are a stronger mage.

“But it’s good, we didn’t use the spell to get information, otherwise we won’t be able to hide it when Master Carl returns, so we don’t have to worry about the other party being informed of the key change and taking time “

Zhao Xu said, looking at the copied note in his hand.

“Then me said, Midsummer, have you thought about it?”

Suddenly Wang Ningwei said in a low voice, “Let’s pass through that Transmission Gate first and come to the safest pendant Star Town.”

Wang Ningwei’s voice was crisp, but it was cruel.
