Truth of Magic

Because of the existence of magic, many times the defense system of buildings must take it into consideration.

The command mansion of Oulu City covers a large area, and it also has another title in Oulu City-Inner City.

In the inner city, the gate alone occupies almost an entire street, and the other three outer walls have dug a “moat” 50-60 meters wide. Not to mention the various guard towers densely packed in the city, just a few hundred steps away from the arrow tower on the edge of the wall. If Oulu City is really captured one day, this inner city will be able to sustain it for a while.

The inner city itself is divided into a front yard and a back yard.

The front yard is naturally where many of the official departments of the Alliance are stationed, while the back yard is the office and residence that governs Tang De.

For the five-ring spell of “Teleportation”, the Commanding Mansion complex was considered at the beginning of the design.

Not to mention the “flying technique” from the sky, the “stone walking technique” from digging tunnels, and various stealing techniques such as “exploration technique”, “eagle eye technique” and “sharp ear technique” Guard against.

It’s just a defense against magic. What you have to face is the contradiction between spell duration, scope of action, and difficulty of maintenance.

It is just like the solid wood floor in the home. Sometimes it is chosen because of the cost. It is only installed in the bedroom or even the master bedroom.

The Northern Alliance has been operating for many years, but it is not that it is impossible to achieve it. It is based on a purely cost-effective issue and has its own focus on the deployment of the entire Commander’s Office.

The most critical Level 1 defense areas, such as the office areas of key departments and the residences of the commanding houses, are naturally the means to prohibit transmission and detection.

As for some exposing Celestial Court and ordinary corridors, it is simply a means of detecting and transmitting.

Once someone teleports in and touches the “spell surveillance network”, the resident wizard group stationed in the command mansion will cooperate with the guards to round up.

Previously, Zhao Xu participated in the defense system of the Commander’s Mansion based on Frey’s recommendation.

At that time, when Wang Ningwei brought the Earth Mission to attend, he was acting as a guard and security officer, and looked shocked in the audience.

Naturally, Zhao Xu also understands the weaknesses of this huge “spell surveillance network”.

The first point is the “intermittent period” of the regular restart of the spell network. He can’t wait and don’t think about it now.

The second point is its own system defect. The “spell monitoring network” itself has a huge scope of influence, involving issues of mutual influence and interference.

Therefore, there are several key blind spots that are unknown.

Even the Mage Association branch of the Northern Alliance has tried its best to test every corner one by one, which left a “weak spot” for this seemingly impervious command mansion.

Zhao Xu clearly remembers that when he first arrived at the Commander’s Mansion in his previous life, a critical “loophole” happened at that time.

So in those days, their entire group was stationed to guard the area 24 hours a day, until the wizards repaired it.

At this moment when this point has not yet been exposed, let Zhao Xu make perfect use of it.

He teleported with no difficulty to the basement of the sentry tower where he had guarded for three days in his previous life.

However.

As soon as Zhao Xu completed the transmission, he heard this startled cry, and the whole person became tense, like a cat with fried hair.

Although it sounds familiar, Zhao Xu’s vision has not been restored because of the transmission, and there is darkness in front of him.

Zhao Xu raised the instant wand in his hand on the spot, twisted his waist sideways, and pointed the tip of the stick in the direction of the sound.

It’s just that he seems to be casting a spell against the opponent, but he confesses another kind of spell.

“Quick outbreak.”

At this extremely urgent moment, Zhao Xu decided to use this spell after thinking about it.

He wants to obtain the inevitable “first hand”, so as not to fall into the situation of being attacked in the next few seconds.

In his previous life, he was paralyzed by being called out. In fact, the long sword had already been stabbed near his waist.

Zhao Xu has already thought very clearly in his mind. After buying a mark time, wait for him to regain his vision and see who is in front of him.

If you know each other well, then naturally nothing will happen.

If not, it means that he was exposed this time by sneaking. At that time, he will use spell “touch of chills” to subdue the opponent, or if there are too many people, he will use teleportation again to escape.

However.

Zhao Xu’s expected sense of time stagnation not at all arrived as promised, and the hands on the mechanical clock were still ticking and moving mercilessly.

[adventurer Midsummer, your spell’Swift Burst’ was countered by the target’s spell, and you lost the spell. 】

How could it be possible, Zhao Xu suddenly had such an incredible thought.

He casts a spell completely intuitively!

The general mage wants to target him unless he hits at first and then gives up other actions, and is prepared to “counter spell”.

Otherwise, it would be too late to think about it when he casts the spell.

But how does the other party know that he has transmitted, so as to achieve this kind of “preparation”?

Slowly, Zhao Xu’s eyes gradually opened. In this dimly dark basement, he leaned on the faint oil lamp to barely see the appearance of the person before him.

“Huh.”

Zhao Xu finally put down a piece of the big rock in his heart.

“Teacher Antinoya.”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help asking, “We should be quite familiar too, so we won’t make a sound of shock when we see me. “

At this moment, standing where Zhao Xu’s eyes are, it is Antinoya, who is wearing a brocade and satin robe and a cloak of dark gold secrets. Obviously, her craft has improved a lot recently. , The patterns are much more complicated.

At this time, Antinoya also looked at Zhao Xu softly.

“I’m thinking, since we reunited after a long time, I should show a sense of surprise.” Antinoya said.

That is obviously frightening.

Zhao Xu thought to himself, but he still said honestly, “Then I am so touched by the tutor.”

“Well, but you did well this time. Even if I heard The familiar voice also acted decisively first, and did not give up the first hand. With this kind of cleverness, the next Oulu city with rising winds and scudding clouds will not let me collect the corpse for you.”

“Then you were countered by your mentor to spell.” Zhao Xu is also a bit sorry, and I feel that since recently, Antinoya has raised his praise frequency quite high.

“Idiot, you don’t want to think about who I am.” Antinoya lightly snorted.

“Then mentor, you just countered my spell, did you use the’insight tactics’?” Zhao Xu couldn’t help asking.

The three-ring spell of insight into the tactics can last 10 points per level. With Zhao Xu’s current caster level, coupled with the “spell delay” specialty, it can easily break through for seven or eight hours.

As long as his three-ring spell is generous, he can be used as a permanent spell mount.

Insight into the tactics can let him automatically know that there is a spell in several dozen meters. If he can see the opponent with sight, he can also know the specific spell through the spell identification.

But the most important thing is that he can choose to dissipate the remaining duration and directly use a “free action” to counter the opponent’s spell.

Without “preparation”!

So as long as Zhao Xu stays in this spell, he is not afraid of being threatened by a close-range spell, equivalent to an efficient spell radar.

With his “swift burst”, he can also fight back a wave of first moves.

Just now he was a little embarrassed before trying to take the lead, but Antinoya backhanded again and countered his spell.

This is also the normal state of high-end mage warfare, gradually targeting each opponent’s spell.

The opponent casts a spell, and his “intuitive” action “restrains” the cast this time.

As a result, the opponent also “intuitively” acted “restrained” him this time.

This kind of back-and-forth doll often makes the outside world seem to have not spent a second, but there have been dozens of private confrontations between the two mages.

“The spell you mentioned, once you decide to start the dissipated energy “counter”, it is only a one-time opportunity. I have to immediately make up for another “Insight Tactics”, so I generally The first move will not dissipate this spell to counteract it.” Antinoya explained.

The implication is that Zhao Xu’s “spell action” is not complicated enough, so she needs to use backup means.

She has, but not necessary.

“So fierce?”

“Midsummer, your journey to mage is still very long.” Antinoya said, “but I can tell you the direction of this effort. “

“Basically, as long as I want, no one can successfully perform spell in front of me.”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but open his pupils slightly.

Each mage can only counter one spell per round.

So in a mage battle, if one more mage abandons the spell and prepares to act “counter-spell”, that would be very disgusting.

“In midsummer, you can only counter the spell once per round, because you can only “prepare” once to target the next opponent’s spell.”

“Once the opponent doesn’t Casting spells, then your countermeasures will also fail. Although spells will not be wasted, the synchronization and coordination of your body also makes it impossible for you to cast spells.”

Zhao Xu listened to nodded, spells turned against The way to control this kind of chicken ribs is also the reason why spell countermeasures are not common in their low-end games.

“Moreover, to counter spell, you have to prepare the same spell to counteract it. Generally, unless the mainstream spell that everyone prepares is very common, it is generally not easy to have the opportunity to take effect.” Zhao Xu said.

But he also knows that no matter how bad the “spell countermeasure” is, it is another solution to the “mage splitting technique”.

It is equivalent to the magic “offset spell” of the mages.

“Teacher, is there any advancement that has special bonuses to spell countermeasures?”

At this time, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but think about it.

In the future, if someone tries to cast a spell in front of him, he will fight back without saying a word.

Without his permission, no one can cast spells.

This is pretending to be invisible.

Especially Zhao Xu has unlimited spell positions, and relying on “multi-talented spellcaster” and “bizarre foresight” can counteract without preparing corresponding spells.

“hehe.” Antinoya also laughed proudly at this time, “This is based on expertise.”

“Specialty?” Zhao Xu was surprised.

He now has at least four or five more specialties than the average person, which is a bit more generous.

“strictly speaking, is a chain of expertise.” Antinoya explained.

“For example,’Proficient in countering spell’ speciality, you can use higher-level spells of the same faction to counter, without being restricted to the same spell.”

“For example,’ Passive counter-spell’specialty allows me to counteract when I notice you casting a spell without having to prepare in advance.”

“Another example is the Legendary specialty’Legendary counter-spell’, which allows me Each round has an unlimited number of counters against spell.”

“As for the three that I just mentioned with you, they are all progressive. You must learn the previous specialty before you can learn it. A speciality. Even the Legendary speciality requires you to meet the three prerequisites of combat anti-rapid initiative and spell instant.”

After listening to Antinoya’s mention, Zhao Xu Can’t help but be speechless.

This Legendary counter-spell directly requires five common specialties as the prerequisites, but the combat reflex and spell instant Zhao Xu are both mastered.

Under the premise of being able to maintain no decompression of the low-ring mage, the cost of its own realization is extremely huge.

You need to know that depending on the level of expertise, from Level 1 to Level 20, there are only seven specialties in total.

But Zhao Xu still prepared silently in his heart.

I also confirmed a chain of expertise in the future.

While Zhao Xu thought about it, he also shook his mind, and returned to the original question, “Teacher, why are you here?”

It is said that he has no “mind The “barrier” spell, so there is no way to avoid those detection and detection spells, only the “black spots” that can be used for deployment can sneak in.

As far as Antinoya is concerned, even if the Divine Kingdom of the gods is in front of her, she still has the courage to rush in, so she won’t find something like Zhao Xu.

“Didn’t I tell you before, did the leader of this alliance, Don De believe in Grazite?”

Zhao Xu immediately reacted, “Teacher, you mean to say , The spell monitoring network in this area is strange, there are traces of Grazt?”

“Yes, how else would I dare to conclude that Donde and Grazt are related. Although it is not obvious, but I am vaguely aware that these defensive reconnaissance spells are integrated into the divine force of Grazt’s little abyss. That’s why I found out the inner reason for this.”

“‘spell surveillance network’ The divine force above is extremely weak, and it can’t play a defensive role at all, so the priests of Oulu City did not realize this. But it is enough to remind Douglas of what power has entered here.”

“If a mage with a’mind barrier’ rushes to a non-critical point by virtue of the effect of immunity, although the monitoring spell net will not detect it, the Grazt behind the scenes can detect the net movement.”

Zhao Xu couldn’t help being nodded after listening. Antinoya didn’t want to be discovered by Grazt, so just like Zhao Xu, he sneaked into this black spot before proceeding.

It seems that he came in according to the black spots of the surveillance network. It really was a mistake.

“Actually, I am also very strange.” Antinoya said, “What is the secret that makes Grazite monitor this piece of ground, and I even suspect that it controls the alliance.” Tang De’ has also transformed into his believers for this reason.”

“Generally speaking, these abyss lords develop believers and strive for secrecy. This lord-level powerhouse does not break the soul. Weaknesses are difficult to overcome. Even if they succeed, they are easily exposed.”,

“In other words, if you don’t want to be exposed, you will have to consume more resources of Grazt, which is not worthwhile. “

Zhao Xu nodded should be, he also pondered the internal level reason.

The thoughts in my mind slowly lead to the “Devil Sealing Campaign” that affected all forces north of the entire ice mountain range in the previous life.

The initial cause of that war was the countless “Transmission Gate” that directly communicated the abyss and purgatory.

The powerhouse in the hell, the purgatory in deep hell, is not at all the ability to teleport to other worlds. If they want to get to “Arthur”, they have to rely on the once-a-year “wish technique” “Simulate the “Transportation from Other World” spell.

If you want to go back afterwards, you will have to wait for the “pray technique” to cool down next year.

For the lower-level demons and demons, coming to the “Arthur” where delicious souls can be seen everywhere, that is a more eager but unattainable thing.

“It is said that you are here to detonate this point, as a reward for the’Howard Luxurious Bedding’ and the’Ascension Ankh’, but I still have to arrange it here first after all.”

p>

“I don’t want your soul to be swept away by the abyss. When I came to search for the soul, it was really shameful.”

Zhao Xu opened his mouth slightly, didn’t expect Antinoya disappeared before the battle, first came here to lay the back hand for him.

Antinoya frowned slightly, “I want to ask you Midsummer.”

“I directly found the’spell defense map’ of this commander’s mansion, and then I thought about it, and worked out some of the weak spots, and found this kind of entry point.”

“What about you?” Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu interestingly.

“How do you know that you will not be found if you teleport to the basement of this tower?”
