Chapter 105
The School of Illusion literally gives people the feeling that this school is all illusion, so invisibility is very useful.
But in fact, illusions also have many attack spells, and they are really not weak.
Among the nine schools of magic, illusion is the only school that can control the power of shadow, and it can also simulate the spells of other schools through the power of shadow.
For example, the ‘Shadow Shaping Technique’ that Pei Renli just used.
This spell can use shadow power to simulate evocation school spells up to level D, ranging from magic missiles to fireballs. The higher the level of the simulated spell, the higher the cost.
For Pei Renli, its biggest advantage is that it can significantly reduce the probability of baldness...
Generally speaking, if you want to increase your lethality, the simplest and crudest way is to learn the spells of the school of plasticity. However, what Pei Renli wants to strengthen is not just the ability to clean the ground. He wants to improve it in all aspects without leaving any obvious gaps.
Shortcomings.
But time is limited, energy is limited, and his hair is indeed limited. Even if he learns spells quickly, he will definitely lose his hair if he suffers from all-round liver damage.
As for the shadow evocation spell, any evocation spell that can be simulated by illusion can be skipped or postponed, which in turn frees up a lot of time.
He had learned this spell before going to the Demon King's Arena. He beat the gargoyle violently before meeting Philuffy, using the sonic spell simulated by Shadow Evocation.
Simulating fireball requires the same magic power as fireball, which is a bit reluctant for Pei Renli. Not long ago, he just used the Demon King system to exchange for the ability of 'real illusion', which can increase the power while reducing consumption. Yes.
It is said that I chose it specifically for the shadow evocation spell. Apart from the number of runes being more complicated than the evocation spell of the same level, I can't find any shortcomings.
However, unless necessary, Pei Renli doesn't want to use this spell in front of his classmates, because it comes from the book "Practical Illusion" left by the tyrannical demon king, not the school library, although it is estimated that no one will go there.
Reading through the books proves that it is easy to excuse yourself with excuses, and there is still some possibility of exposing your true identity.
Now it is a necessity that cannot be used, so there is no need to keep it.
Taking advantage of the short gap created by the fireball technique, everyone rushed towards the exit, and the scattered stitched corpses were rushed away by the arrow-like formation.
"Shadow Spell: Spider Web!"
The shadow that was rolled into a ball shot out from his fingertips and fell right into the group of stitched corpses rushing from the side. As the large and slender shadows spread like spider webs, many of the stitched corpses seemed to be trapped by shadows.
They were unable to move in the same place, and the few who could move moved slowly, as if they were stuck in mud.
Shadow Spell is also a spell from the School of Illusion, similar to Shadow Evocation, except that it can simulate spells from several schools of Conjuration.
Lydia, who was at the front, bumped the door panel with her shoulder, and everyone poured in. Even if they used the spider web spell to buy time, no one really had time to worry about whether there was a trap behind the door.
Anna, who came in last, closed the door. Pei Renli turned around and knocked on it with his staff. The effective door-sealing technique should last for a while, and they were safe for the time being.
The only pity is that they haven't finished searching just now. They only looked at the parts with magic aura first. There should be some valuable loot in places like lockers and drawers.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Korra who came in first and couldn't help but shout:
"Fuck!"
Because Pei Renli always felt like shit, friends who were close to him also learned how to use shit.
——This is really lame.
Pei Renli thought he had run into some trouble again, but when he looked back, a blur of jeweled golden light broke into his eyes.
Behind the door is a corner of a small room of less than twenty square meters, filled with gold coins, gems, and jewelry. Some are stored in small boxes, some in bowl-shaped gold and silver vessels, and most of them are simple
piled on the ground.
Now they know where the gems on the Mimic come from.
Alton rubbed his eyes:
"Could it be another illusion? Pei Renli, what do you think..."
When I looked up at Pei Renli, I saw that he had already untied his backpack and was hurriedly putting it into the backpack like crazy. This action could no longer be regarded as robbing, but simply filling.
"Why are you standing there in a daze! Get it quickly!"
The sweet sound of gold coins clanging and clanging brought everyone back to their senses immediately, and the fear of being surrounded by stitched corpses immediately turned into excitement and joy.
What a huge profit!
"Can our backpacks really fit them all?"
"Pick up valuable gems and put the gold coins first."
"Mine is full!"
The backpack used by adventurers is very strong and has a quick release function. When necessary, it can be quickly removed to prevent the backpack from affecting physical activities.
But the gold coins are so heavy that even the fabric of the backpack cannot bear it, let alone carrying it.
And don't forget, the Stitched Corpse is only one door away from them.
The sound of banging and banging on the door was mixed with the clanging of everyone's gold coins. Every time it rang, the magical aura of the door-sealing technique would light up or go out, reminding everyone who was frantically trying to make money that it was almost done.
Of all the people, the one who was most in need of money was Sistia. She packed it into her backpack along with her just to make fun of her. The one who was most in need of money was of course Pei Renli.
When other people want money, they can only use it to buy new equipment. Pei Renli wants to increase his strength, but there are too many places to spend money.
But while he was pretending to be rich, he also didn't forget where he was.
He glanced at the door locked by the door sealing technique:
"It's almost time, withdraw!"
"Wait, let me pretend a little more, just a little!"
Alton made full use of his height advantage and simply piled on the treasure. The short halfling was big enough to swim in it. He opened his backpack and poured it with his hands and feet.
"It's too late, let's go."
Lydia lifted the unwilling Alton up like a chicken.
They know in their hearts that if they can't get out alive, no matter how much gold coins they take, it will be in vain. Everyone's load is different, and they must carry money while only taking a weight that does not affect their actions.
This is really a pity.
If you have a dimensional bag, you can take them all away, but then again, the price of the dimensional bag may be worth more than half a room worth of treasures. Even if you use the Demon King System to redeem it, the reputation required is not a fraction.
…
Carrying a much heavier backpack, Alton reluctantly led the way with Cora. Everyone had to leave the room full of gold coins and go out through the door at the other end before the door-sealing spell failed.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Outside the door is a corridor, which looks the same as the corridor when they came in, and is much wider than the secret passage.
The problem before everyone now is not to search, but how to get out.
After all, their backpacks were almost full and they couldn't hold any more loot, so they decided to put it away as soon as possible.
However, because they had entered the secret passage, everyone was definitely no longer in the original corridor, and there was no way to go back the same way. They could only move forward along the corridor while groping.
Regardless of whether this relic was left by the god-killing demon king Balam, it is certain that its original owner must be very good at necromancy and was probably a necromancer.
It is not surprising that undead creatures appear in underground ruins, but including sutured corpses, they encountered artificial undead creatures several times along the way.
Moreover, during the attack on Saint White's Day School, Rufus and his party all turned themselves into undead creatures. They may have done this because they knew some of the situation in this ruins in advance.
Because if you become an undead creature, you will not be attacked by other undead creatures and will be treated as one of your own.
Because he was harassed several times along the way, Pei Renli had to bless everyone with the Veil of the Dead one by one, and he had to replenish it before the effect of the Veil of the Dead disappeared. This consumes a lot of magic power.
But for safety reasons, this is the only way to do it first.
If you ask adventurers what is the most troublesome thing about exploring ruins, more than 90% of the answers will be about mazes. In comparison, ferocious monsters are easy to deal with.
This is a very effective and low-cost method of defending against invaders, and is found in many ruins.
Yes, soon after everyone moved forward along the corridor, they saw several forks in the road. After turning around a few times, they realized that they had indeed entered the maze. They wandered around for almost two hours without finding a way out.
And if you ask adventurers, apart from the maze, what is the most troublesome thing?
The answer is a trap.
"Move slowly, don't use force."
Alton and Cora were dismantling a trap not far away. It was different from the ones they encountered before. This time they were being more careful.
Others didn't know how to defuse the trap, but judging from the expressions of Alton and Cora, it must be very troublesome. Affected by the atmosphere, everyone held their breath, fearing that making a little noise would affect them.
"Okay, this lever is removed, just move it out of the way..."
Cora slowly took out a metal rod, but she immediately discovered that there was a very thin wire attached to the back of the metal rod.
——Crack.
The two jumped up immediately:
"Back up! The trap has been activated!"
As the saying goes, a man may make a mistake, and a horse may make a mistake. No matter how good a rogue is, he may make a mistake when trying to debunk a trap.
They just missed it.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly moved their feet, but the next moment the originally hard floor became soft, and the walls were bending and falling, as if everything in their field of vision had softened, making it difficult to exert strength.
This is not a mechanical trap, but a trap that mixes machinery and magic!
A very stupid arrangement method. On the surface, it looks like a mechanical trap, so there is no detection magic to check it. Once triggered, the magic effect will be activated.
After the trap was activated, the long tunnel seemed to have turned into the intestines of some giant beast, which was squirming regularly. Everyone seemed to be standing on the undulating water, unable to walk properly. Even if they wanted to hold on to the wall,
They are all soft and effortless.
Pei Renli hurriedly used his staff to support his body and murmured:
Chapter completed!
