14 Legendary Wizard

After hearing Antonya's reply, Zhao Xu nearly dropped the thick book in his hands.

Suddenly his 16 points of Intelligence seemed like nothing now.

Zhao Xu started to wonder if the players were really on the same system as the NPCs.

All living creatures in Arthur had Character Stats.

None of the NPCs had stats that were made up. You could trace exactly how each of them reached their current levels.

This would become common knowledge among the players in the future.

"Look at the look of disbelief on your face. It's so fun!"

Antonya suddenly laughed quietly and instantly went from being an aloof and mysterious high-level wizard to being a young daughter of an aristocratic family.

"So just because you're a wizard, you get to boast?"

Zhao Xu wasn't good at negotiating, but he thought he could use a couple of simple tactics.

But Antonya didn't care for this. "Your taunting is useless on me. But I'll tell you how to get to this stage, and that might be able to motivate you to work hard on completing your training course."

Zhao Xu felt his breathing quicken when he heard these words.

50 points of Intelligence.

That meant that he would have 20 points of Intelligence Ability Modifier points and his Difficulty Class would go up by 20 points.

Just looking at the number of additional spell slots it would grant him was enough. He would get five Level 1 to 4 slots, four Level 5 to 8 slots and three Level 9 slots.

This was about the same number of spell slots as a Level 20 Wizard.

"Firstly, my Headband of Intellect has an additional score of +12."

"Isn't the highest only +6?"

Zhao Xu immediately cut in with a question.

But Antonya behaved like all this was normal and replied him straight, "A Headband of Intellect made by a spell caster below Level 20 will only be able to hit a maximum of +6, but anyone who is at Legendary level will be able to hit a maximum of +12."

Zhao Xu knew that the Legendary level was truly incredible.

But he didn't know that it was that incredible.

Most ordinary people's intelligence might not be even as high as the bonus that that Headband of Intellect gave.

If one allowed a baby to wear that headband after everyone had transmigrated one year later, that baby was going to outsmart everyone else just by his intelligence alone.

Items with the same additional value couldn't be used together, so there was no point in wearing two headbands.

If you wanted to increase your scores further, then you had to think of another method besides this.

One +6 item that could increase Ability Scores cost 36,000 gold pieces.

A Level 5 Divine Spell Scroll cost 1,000 gold pieces, but the materials required for a Revivify spell made the price go up to 6,000 gold pieces instead.

That was the price of a person's life. 6,000 gold pieces were enough as long as the corpse was in one good piece and the spell was cast not too long after death.

Without the body, then one would need an even higher level spell – a Level 9 Divine True Resurrection Spell. The scroll itself cost 28,000 gold pieces.

In Zhao Xu's previous life, he couldn't come up with this much money. Or rather, he didn't even know where to get this money at all.

If you could exchange the resources on earth for resources in Arthur, then 50 gold pieces weighed around 45 grams, and gold was currently going for per gram.

So in the world of Arthur, 1 gold piece cost about ,100.

A Level 5 Raise Dead spell would already cost more than million.

A Level 9 True Resurrection spell would cost million. That was nearly million.

But of course, that wasn't how you calculated the value of items. He calculated it this way because earth valued gold more.

The current gold to silver value ratio was now standing at 1:100, but it was still 1:10 in Arthur.

Even if he went with the price of silver, .4 million and million weren't the sort of money an ordinary person would have to buy revival spells.

So when he thought about it this way, one +6 Magic Item cost 36,000 gold pieces and you would still have change even after purchasing a True Resurrection scroll. So even if you turned to ash, you could still be brought back to life.

So a +12 Magic Item would cost 144,000 gold pieces.

Wizards were an expensive Character Class.

Zhao Xu asked an honest question, "144,000 gold pieces?"

Antonya just laughed quietly when she heard this. "Multiply that by 10."

"1,440,000 gold pieces?!"

If Zhao Xu was suffering from some internal injury, he might spew blood out right now.

"That's right. That's how you calculate the value of legendary items. Why else do you think they're so rare?"

Zhao Xu stared at Antonya in shock. That headband alone was like a walking gold mine.

Didn't she find a headband that was worth 26 tons of gold very heavy on her head?

In gold, that would cost .4 billion and in silver, it would cost million.

Zhao Xu's teeth hurt just thinking about the price of the headband. And he also knew that he could forget about getting his Intelligence level up to 50 points now.

"Secondly, Prayer can increase your Ability Score by 1 point and you can cast this spell 5 times in a row, so it can increase your score by a maximum of 5 points," Antonya continued to explain.

It took additional material cost to cast Prayer as well.

Casting it once could increase his points by 1, and 5 points would be worth around 140,000.

It was certainly less than 1.44 million, but that was still a number that he couldn't get to.

But that didn't sound right. Zhao Xu looked at the lady in front of him. She was someone who could cough up 1.44 million and she only increased one Ability Score?

Zhao Xu couldn't imagine if she increased all six Ability Scores. 28,000 multiplied by 30 would be around 840,000.

But Antonya had already gone on to continue explaining.

"As for the third point, that's due to other spells such as Divine Appearance and Ability Score Transfer. These can last for more than 24 hours too."

"And point four is because I'm a Legendary Wizard and I get to increase my Ability Scores more than the three times that you calculated."

Zhao Xu had just listened to the first three points quietly, but when she reached the fourth point, Zhao Xu looked up with a start as if he was completely shocked.

This Antonya was actually a Legendary Wizard?

To be a Legendary Wizard, you had to be higher than Level 22 and you had to be able to cast Legendary spells.

Level 9 spells were enough to destroy the earth and there were even some that could stop the passage of time.

There were some that could send you to any Otherworldly Gate any time you wanted.

There were some that could morph the user into any living creature and take on its features.

There were some that could destroy any magical barrier – Mage's Disjunction.

There were some that could block any sort of attack – Prismatic Sphere.

In general, wizards who could cast Level 9 spells were nearly unstoppable.

Their defense scores were already beyond the usual level that could be calculated with points and were at the level of the concept of defense.

It was a level where people couldn't use any non-magical weapon to launch an attack and it would just look like some rough or poor tactic.

If enemies made a move, a spell could immediately stop that move and that would become the norm in playing.

When it came to the area of probability, they could even erase failed results and get another check.

And on top of all these, Legendary Wizards could also come up with their own Legendary Spells.

Even the characters native to Arthur knew very little about Legendary Spells. But everyone guessed that this floating city was able to float because of a Legendary Spell.

So this Antonya standing in front of him was actually an incredible wizard who could actually cast Legendary Spells?

For the first time, Zhao Xu felt that he could possibly really be the illegitimate son of the goddess of luck.
