The Truth of Magic



67 the proud son of heaven

“teacher, you can reject me directly next time.” After being teased by Antonya for so long, Zhao Xu didn’t have the energy to retort anymore.

“I’ll try my best.”

“teacher, you left that ‘magical pearl’ to that lady?” Zhao Xu thought about it for a while and decided to ask the question that was on his mind.

currently, there were not many players who could receive 1000 gold pieces as a reward, especially when it was just a simple spell.

“that’s right. i remember that the pearl was mine.” antonya said.

“instructor, i don’t want all of them. I’m just curious as to why you would do that.”

“that’s because she’s the most skilled at using ‘magic bullet’ in the entire battle. she’s also the one who can push you to the extreme and unleash your potential. I picked her, so naturally I have to give her a reward.”

When he heard this, Zhao Xu nodded and said, ” mentor, I’m not stupid either.

if it was zhao xu who had just started playing the game, he might have believed this.

However, after mingling around for a full ten years in his previous life, he had thoroughly understood one of Arthur’s many rules.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

there must be a deep reason behind every windfall.

warlocks were considered one of the less difficult types of spellcasters, but that was only because they had powerful bloodlines.

if he wasn’t a transmigrator, he would only feel that the benefits he had received were like cheats that were hot to the touch.

“I suddenly feel that you’re quite mature.” Antonya said in admiration.

“think about it, why would she have that +1 spellcaster level necklace?”

Zhao Xu was suddenly stunned.

at that time, he was in the middle of a battle and didn’t have the time to react.

” she’s also one of our targets? ” zhao xu couldn’t help but think of himself as one of the members of the final scroll.

” she’s the focus of the sorcerer’s association, not us. ” Antonya corrected him.

“In fact, you players have been fighting in Arthur for a year, even with the Lifestone to test and make mistakes. What level do you think the vanguard will reach?” Antonya said,

Zhao Xu had already received the cheat sheet from his previous life, so he hesitated for a while before he replied, ” “Level 5.”

this was the result of everyone’s calculations when everyone transmigrated in his previous life. the remaining players were all scattered players above level 10.

“that’s right, but i can tell you that there will definitely be players above level 10.” antonya said.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt as if he could hear the deep, furious howls of the wind coming from the calm night sky.

“you saw how extraordinary that female wizard called ‘ning wei’ was, and even took the initiative to help her. what about us, who have been observing for half a month? The Association didn’t create a record and analyze all of you for no reason.”

it was at this moment that zhao xu realized that the entire wizard association wasn’t as simple as he had thought.

Even Zhao Xu was able to react in an instant and decide to invest in her.

Didn’t the Sorcerer’s Association prepare to invest a long time ago?

Blue star’s venture capital funds would find companies with good prospects to invest in because they represented future growth in wealth.

In Arthur, profession levels were the number one productive force.

perhaps, in his previous life, all the high-level players in the blue star forces were basically selected representatives by the major forces.

For the natives of Arthur, it was already considered extremely fast for them to reach level five in a year.

the players on earth did not have the lifestone to try and make mistakes, and if they died, they could start a new account, so it was impossible for them to achieve this.

Did those players above level 10 not have the resources of a major power to support them?

did this mean that wang ningwei was a player chosen by the mage association?

Their meeting today was not a coincidence, but fate?

“Mentor, isn’t this too much of a conspiracy theory?” zhao xu couldn’t imagine that there was a huge net behind all of this.

“You’re thinking too much,” antonya laughed out loud.

“you’re the main person i’m responsible for. it was just a spur of the moment idea for me to let you get in touch with her earlier today.” antonya said.

“She will definitely become the leader of your group of players. It’s a pity that you have not come into contact with her when you are training in the floating city. It’s better to be friends than enemies.”

“so that pearl of magical regeneration is the bond that will be formed between us the next time? because she will return the pearl to me?”

for the first time, zhao xu felt as if he had been blessed.

he could faintly feel that his true intelligence had increased slightly.

however, he also admired the foresight of the sorcerer association. in the future, when wang ningwei represented earth’s forces to visit the northern alliance, the northern alliance would treat her according to the level of the monarch.

the sorcerer’s association had directly selected one of the future leaders of the blue star’s forces.

in other words, the two complemented each other. with the help of the wizard association, wang ningwei was able to become the leader of the forces on the blue star.

zhao xu was a little thick-skinned and wanted to ask why she didn’t pick him.

although he didn’t like to deal with those trivial matters, this strong sense of power was enough to make everyone feel light.

“Instructor, why was Wang Ningwei chosen?” zhao xu quickly asked. this was an experience that could be copied.

antonya glanced over at zhao xu as if she could read his mind.

“wang ningwei’s human reward specialty is ‘leadership’,”

“I’ve never heard of this specialty?” zhao xu asked curiously.

“let’s put it this way. the president of our association of mages has this specialty. And he also has a legendary leadership specialty that’s one level higher.” Antonya said.

” it won’t make you cast another spell, but it will allow you to have many powerful companions. ”

“on the day of the awakening ceremony, i put on a cloak for you, so no one will recognize you. Today was the first time you met that girl. She didn’t know that you were special, but she was able to resist the temptation of a rich girl. She even cooperated with you because of your answer.”

even if you didn’t have any feelings for her, you still spoke up to persuade her because you knew it would be good for her.

” i was thinking of voting-” zhao xu suddenly couldn’t finish his sentence.

why did he want to invest in it and not replace it?

“remember, some of the abilities of specialties surpass the effects of magic and are similar to special abilities. some people are born to be close to others, gather the majority of their strength, and get the support of the majority.”

Zhao Xu let out a deep breath.

each cheat-like life had its own characteristics.

he couldn’t possibly use up all the cheats in the world.

In his previous life, he had only managed to reach Level 5 after ten years of hard work, but those geniuses had managed to reach level 10 in a year.

now that he was standing higher than the other players, he couldn’t possibly tolerate the fact that there were a few hills next to him.

He wanted to be the strongest in Arthur. No matter how the world changed, he would be the sharpest blade.
