Chapter 8 Shadows in Shadows(1/2)
Taverns are the places where adventurers collect information, but taverns are not suitable for collecting players' intelligence. Players do not have the habit of drinking and chatting in the tavern. What's more, most areas of the Novice Village are ruins, and there are no taverns at all. .
If you want to get information from players, the fishing spot by the river is the right choice.
After obtaining some information about the "special np" from casual players, Green was interested in going to the Shadow Maze outside the city to investigate and see who the special np, which the player called the "red-faced mage" was.
But before leaving, Greene had to make some preparations.
"I don't know how Mitchell's materials are collected." Green touched his chin and glanced at the system time.
Before leaving the temple, Green gave Mitchell a material collection form and asked Mitchell to post various material collection tasks to the players. The number of players' advantages lie there. Even if each person helps collect the same magic material, it is enough to help Green collect materials from a mage tower.
Of course, the only things that can be collected at present are "projected items". However, since all living in this world are creatures with the characteristics of "projected items" and "real items" are not very big.
Green did not rush to return to the temple, but went to the prop store to buy a cheap cloak, covered it with a facial towel, disguised as a thief, and then wandered around the street with the "NP protection halo" on it.
After watching Green, "NP Protecting Halo" is an upgraded version of the player's "Anti-crowding Halo". Therefore, as long as you cover it with a scarf and control the size of the halo, you can easily get involved in the player.
Because of Micheer, the population base of the novice village suddenly soared.
Suddenly, Green felt a malicious sight!
【Mind-eye】Skills make Green very sensitive to others' sight.
After feeling the malice, Green's hair stood up and instantly launched an instant slide!
Green instantly shifted a distance and then looked in the direction where the malicious intention came.
It was a small alley that looked quite complete, and the houses on both sides of the alley were not too serious. The alley was empty...
"Seeing through the invisibility!" Green used a way to see through the invisibility on himself.
Still haven't seen anyone.
What's going on?
Green looked around. The feeling just now had disappeared, as if everything was Green's illusion.
If you are an ordinary person, you may think you are too careful. But Green is very familiar with his skills and is also very clear about the effect of [heart-eye]. So Green is very sure that this is definitely not an illusion!
but……
"Who will have malicious intentions towards me?" Green couldn't help but frown.
Player? No, I have never made enemies with any player.
Those hostile np? I can't! I didn't feel any sight when I left the temple, and there was no reason for the enemy np to know my existence.
Green felt a little confused.
Green looked around. Most of the players were concentrated in the Resurrection Square and the church, and there were very few players on ordinary streets like this.
Green squinted his eyes and did not enter the alley, but walked directly over, and then Green suddenly hid behind a wall.
"Secret Eye!" Green covered his eyes and activated a spell.
Secret Eye: Four-ring prophecy spell. A magic eye is generated in the field of vision to convey visual information to you. The magic eye is invisible and can move at a speed of 2 meters/second. You must focus otherwise you will stop your activity.
An invisible magic eye appeared in front of Green, and then flew into the alley under Green's control.
There is no one in the alley.
Green carefully recalled the direction that his vision came from before...
"The line of sight does not come from the ground, but...a little higher. Could it be..."
The magic eye rose to a certain height and began to investigate the houses and windows on both sides of the alley.
This novice village projected the situation when Kap Town was destroyed by the Shadow Demon King and just started to rebuild. All the scenery, NP and facilities were exactly the same as when Kap Town just started to rebuild! The details were even exquisite to the gravel, leaves and dust on the ground.
As a small town that has been destroyed and is preparing to be rebuilt, although most of the area in Cape Town is ruined, there are still some relatively complete buildings.
For example, the buildings on both sides of the alley in front of you are not ruins, but some residential buildings that are relatively well preserved. If Green remembers correctly, most of the residential buildings on both sides are residences of "refugee NP".
Unless the favorability reaches a certain level, players cannot enter the NP home. However, if their previous sight comes from the "Secret of True Time", these buildings will not only not become his obstacles, but will instead become his protection.
In order not to reveal his identity as a "mysterious person in the true time", Green did not let the secret eye enter those houses, but only wandered outside the house.
"Finished!" Green found a window that opened a crack and saw an eye.
When Green saw that eye, the eyes seemed to have noticed something.
That eye glanced at the location of the magic sense body and flashed by...
Green couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the other person was wrapped in black cloth.
"It's a thief!" Green observed the residential building where the window was located, and his pupils shrank slightly, "And this building is inaccessible to players!"
Green recalled the information Michele gave him and instantly gained a glimmer of enlightenment.
"It's the assassin of the Lord of Shadows! He has been lying in the town all the time, but the players don't know."
This kind of streets and alleys is the most suitable place for assassins to play, and the mage cannot use his ranged advantages in this kind of place.
Green looked around, thought for a while, decisively put a few layers of protective spells on himself, then left a magic sense body on the spot, and sprinkled some visible powder on the ground. Then he left a piece of powder Mona supervised the ground.
"Mona?" Mona looked at Greene blankly.
Green gave Mona a command, then used illusion to disguise it and hide it in the corner.
...
After a circle, Green quietly came to a ruin across the alley and lies behind a wall.
This is a ruined wall. As long as Green stands up, he can see the alley opposite from above the wall.
Green took out his staff from his system backpack and began casting the spell…
"Mirrorism!"
Green left a mirror of himself in place, and the mirror looked like Green was lying there. As long as the mirror was not touched, it could exist for a long time.
But that's not enough.
"Trigger Mirror!" Green once again casts a mirror that requires specific conditions to trigger.
Trigger: Six-ring energy-shaping spell. A spell that affects an individual and has a ring number not higher than the trigger level is triggered under certain conditions.
Green can remotely activate this triggering spell at any time to change the mirror. When the spell is activated, the mirror will change from a position of sitting on the ground and ambushing to a position of standing up to attack.
Then Green set a little next to the mirror, leaving behind a Mona responsible for the alert, and then quietly left the wall along the path he had come before.
Finally, Green dug a hole not far from the wall, buried himself underground, disguised as an ordinary pile of rocks.
Lying in the trap, Green began to prepare.
"Triggering the magic of Otiluk's magic seal!"
Otiluk Magic Sword Envelope: Four-ring Energy-Styling Spell. A force field ball with a radius of 1 meter centered on the object protects the creature from any damage, and also traps him, and the force field cannot move. It can be destroyed by the magic/dissociation technique/destruction scepter/negative scepter.
At level 10, Green chose [Spell Mastery Triggering], so Green can now chain up to 4 spells! Green chains Otiluk magic sealing ball and triggering ball. Once he casts fireball skills with his staff, the magic sealing ball will automatically cast it on himself.
The Magic Seal Ball is a very powerful spell with extremely high versatility, which can be used to trap enemies or be used as a small invincible.
Since the enemy is likely to be a master-level assassin, Green is not sure that he can kill the opponent in seconds. Therefore, Green uses the magic seal ball as a small invincible to offset the enemy's counterattack.
After everything was ready, Green closed his eyes and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait...
This is a patience competition.
An hour has passed.
The magic sense body left by Greene has disappeared.
Two hours have passed.
There was still no response outside.
Four hours have passed.
The sky has begun to darken.
"The fish have left?" Green looked at the sky and frowned slightly.
No! Keep waiting.
The other party is likely to be an assassin, and the assassin's home court is at night. If I were an assassin, I would wait until the night will come out.
The traps set up will not be refreshed after 24 hours, and I still have time! Even if I guess wrong, it is just a waste of a day.
As a fisherman, Green has enough patience and the courage to "take off the bait".
Green lay on the ground, took out a sandwich from the system pocket, and slowly ate it, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Soon after, night fell...
"Mona!!!"
Suddenly! Mona's voice sounded in the alley.
Here comes!
Green instantly activates the trigger of mirroring.
In an instant, the mirror image, who was originally sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and took a spell casting posture...
To be continued...
