Chapter 104: Another Hidden Art
Yesterday I pulled my stomach for a day, so that I couldn't take care of myself in life, I couldn't renew, and I got up in the morning to make up for it.
Today's update is as usual.
----------
Compared to the free-spirited and unrestrained architectural style of Stegosaurus's Spine, the Blood Wing Ring is almost a different place. On this hilltop, all the sharp stones have been roughly sharpened and turned square. The buildings here are no longer blue and white with angular appearances, but have become extremely flat.
The gray square barracks, the black square barracks, the square barracks of various dark tones, if it weren't for the expressionless soldiers coming and going, Yang Hai would almost think that he had come to a mechanical world. It's hard to imagine any other city other than mechanically savvy halflings being so lifeless and metallic, but nothing is impossible for a religious race.
The soldiers had different faces, but they wore the same clothes, the same weapons, and the same insignia. It looks like it's a person.
The first time Yang Hai touched the Blood Wing Ring, he felt that this was a place that turned people into killing machines.
The dragon soldiers who came and went in the blood wing ring were at most more than fifty levels, and Yang Hai felt a lot more comfortable moving on their side. Moreover, all the soldiers were in a hurry and looked sluggish, which gave Yang Hai the illusion that even if he appeared beside them, they would not take a second look.
This is the soldier of the dragon clan?
He hid in the shadows and frowned.
At this time, he remembered the NPCs who looked pious on the road to heaven.
What kind of race is this?
Yang Hai watched as a quartermaster-looking man commanded the soldiers to transport a pile of supplies to a warehouse.
"Hurry up! This is the material for this year's recruits, and if something goes wrong, you have to look good! ”
The quartermaster looked fierce, and the two soldiers did not dare to say more, and lowered their heads and carried the supplies into the warehouse.
Yang Hai's heart moved, and he sneaked over. As he walked past the door, the quartermaster suddenly turned his head and stared at the shadows, startling Yang Hai. He lay motionless in the shadows, and the quartermaster stared for a long time, as if to make sure that there was no one, before turning his face away.
There is no danger.
With the clanging sound of the iron door closing, Yang Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the door was pulled open and the quartermaster appeared in the doorway again.
"Just in case!" The quartermaster sneered into the air, then closed the iron door, and the sound of locking was heard outside.
Yang Hai almost scolded directly.
This quartermaster is too cunning, and it is really inconsiderate to sneak in like this. Maybe this guy will call someone to search for it in a while, and at that time......
Yang Hai didn't want to imagine such consequences.
He's not a thief, he's just a stealthy warrior, he doesn't have lockpicking skills, and there's nothing he can do in such a situation. Even if you have the skill of unlocking, you can imagine how high the skill level of the lock in the main city barracks is to open.
Do you just wait to die?
Messing through the blood wings, and using your ass to know how serious this is, maybe you will be burned at the stake by those extreme religious fanatics on charges of blasphemy against Pylot. Besides, Calderon's apprentice trespassed into the military zone, if he was discovered, how much trouble would it bring to the old fellow and Prince Seren?
While I was struggling, an idea jumped into my mind.
His grandmother's, a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The warehouse was pitch black, with no light, but the Night Keeper's mask provided 2 dark attributes, which weren't effective, but at least they wouldn't blind him in this place. With that little bit of dark vision, he struggled to pick through a pile of supplies, and finally found a set of new uniforms that he could wear.
Yang Hai put the recruit uniform on his body, thinking that he couldn't do it, so he pretended to be a recruit who didn't understand the rules. As for whether it can justify itself, or hide it, it depends on the on-the-spot reaction.
Yang Hai was regretting it again at this time, he looked at his only level 1 bluff and only 10 charm points, and felt that he could probably only fool NPCs by making up a seamless lie. You always have to deal with NPCs when doing quests, and sometimes it's too inconvenient to have such a low charisma. ,
When Yang Hai was thinking about these things, there was a sudden muffled sound outside the door, and then the door lock made a slight sound, if it wasn't for the fact that the room was very quiet, and he was always paying attention to the surrounding situation, it would probably be difficult to hear this sound.
The door lock was opened again.
Yang Hai couldn't guess the reason why the quartermaster went in such a short time and the opposite, the quartermaster opened the door and walked in slowly in a very stiff posture.
The iron door slowly closed, and the glimmer of sunlight from the outside disappeared inch by inch.
When there was only a crack outside the door, a few microns of sunlight just allowed Yang Hai, who was hiding in the shadows, to see everything clearly.
He finally realized why the quartermaster's posture was so stiff - the quartermaster had been completely knocked unconscious and walked in.
He was only sure of this when he saw the quartermaster slowly fall to the ground without even making a sound. Then, the invisible man who walked in with the quartermaster on his back gradually appeared.
It was an elf, and it was not clear what it looked like because of the light, and Yang Hai only saw a pair of pointed ears.
Yang Hai was extremely shocked in his heart, feeling as if an ice cube had slipped into his stomach.
As mentioned earlier, the Forgotten Continent is a game of judgment criteria, that is, it is possible to become invisible at any time, because as long as you use the skill of stealth, you can get the corresponding judgment. It's just that some actions will make the stealth detection drop very much, and it is likely to cause the stealth to be broken, such as: talking, moving quickly, and taking damage.
Obviously, walking with a person and making that person look normal from a distance can also cause the stealth verdict to drop dramatically, and the extent of the decline is unknown. Now this scene is playing out in front of Yang Hai's eyes, someone has done this, and no one has found out.
His grandmother's met the ancestor of the thief.
Yang Hai lurked in the shadows, not daring to move.
He was a Vault Dweller himself, so of course he was particularly interested in his profession when he read books on Calderón's side. The Vault Dweller is positioned as a stealthy warrior, combat effectiveness is the main aspect, and stealth is more of an ability given by the bloodline. So with the exception of the Dark Vault Dweller, the Vault Dweller's abilities are not in stealth.
Even if you are a dark banisher, your ability to become invisible is definitely not comparable to that of a professional thief. Within the scope of Yang Hai's cognition, the only one who can walk with a person stealthily can do it can be a thief. Because the thief not only has the most stealthy stealth ability, but also is proficient in rope skills, he can tie the quartermaster's joints to the required angle, so that it does not look weird to walk, and other stealth classes, whether it is a druid, a drow scimitar, or a vault dweller, do not have this kind of bondage.
And just the gentle feeling of the quartermaster falling to the ground, apart from the famous thief's stuffy stick, what other skill can be so neat and even with a hint of art?
Yang Hai lay in the shadows, praying incessantly.
The thief's professional level was obviously extremely high, otherwise the quartermaster's stick would definitely not be so clean. But in the forgotten continent, a mere high level is useless.
Thieves also have different directions of development and have their own different genres.
For example, the famous Goldfinger Association in the southeast of the continent, these thieves have the characteristics of outstanding perception in addition to the high agility that all thieves have. Because only when you perceive and pass the level, you can only be accurate when you steal something. But not all thieves are like the three hands of the Goldfinger Society, the Adrian thieves are a group of murderous fierce men, these thieves are both sensitive and amazingly lethal; At the same time, the Tomb Robbers of the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon tend to focus on high charisma, as they are followers of Akalesud, the god of organs, and many magic skills require great charisma to be wielded; Of course, there are also the famous demon thieves of the Northland, a group of thieves who can do magic, and the second attribute must be intelligence.
Yang Hai can't help himself now, none of the thieves above are what he can afford to provoke now, and the only thing he can pray for is that the thief ancestor in front of him is not a thief of the Goldfinger Association. Because the thief perception of the Goldfinger Association is too high, not to mention that he is lying in the shadows, with Yang Hai's current level being so low and his skills are poor, they can smell it even if he is buried in the soil. ,
As long as these thieves don't have a high level of perception, Yang Hai is not too afraid of being found out.
It seemed that the elven thief hadn't noticed Yang Hai, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. The most tense moment passed, and Yang Hai continued to lie in the shadows and hide the shadows, while thinking about the current situation.
Who is this thief?
The events encountered in the past few days were quickly connected, and Yang Hai confirmed almost immediately that he should be a thief of the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon. Because in recent times, in Calderon's words, "the marmots of the Moonbook Brotherhood don't know what aphrodisiacs they have eaten." Other powerful thieves do not rule out the possibility of appearing in the main city of the dragon clan, but this possibility is too low.
After all, the guards in the main city are not vegetarians, and even if they are strong thieves, they may only have one way to go when they encounter a peerless fierce man like Fernando who is capable of eliminating invisibility.
Calderon bluntly said that he couldn't understand why the people of the Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon dared to be so rampant, Calderon couldn't even figure it out, and Yang Hai was naturally even more clueless. He only dared to scan what the thief was doing with his peripheral vision, and he didn't dare to focus his eyes on the thief. After all, the difference in rank is too big, and he is afraid that the other party will notice it.
The thief took a mouse out of his bosom, whispered a few words to the mouse, and then let the mouse go. Yang Hai watched from the side, and sighed that their communication methods were really hidden, and ordinary people were afraid that they would not be able to imagine it.
Soon after the rat was released, another figure came in through the crack in the door.
In the faint sunlight, Yang Hai could make out that it was a recruit of the Dragon Clan.
That recruit was wearing the same clothes, holding the same weapons, wearing the same badges, and having the same expressionless face as the other recruits.
Then, in Yang Hai's shocked gaze, the recruit's face was constantly deformed as if it was being kneaded and pulled by a pair of invisible hands, and soon he became a half-snake man.
Yang Hai vaguely felt that something seemed to be happening, and it seemed that a secret was gradually being revealed in front of his eyes......
The Brotherhood of the Book of the Moon, a secret that runs rampant with dragons but comes and goes without a trace.
They must have been helped by the Half-Snake Man.
The half-snake man took out a scroll and unfolded it, and the pale red syllable realm immediately covered the entire warehouse, isolating it from the sound outside.
"Are you crazy? Joseph! The half-snake man said angrily, "We shouldn't have met here at all." ”
"I know, Eri." The elven thief said lightly: "Since I am here, I have a reason to come. Do you think I'm as reckless as your stupid race, and completely ignorant of the art of stealth? ”
"What did you say!" The half-snake man Eri shouted angrily.
"You don't know the art of secrecy, and you still won't admit it." The elven thief sneered and said, "Don't be so loud, idiot. Do you think it's safe with soundproofing? Remember where you are now, and it's better to keep a low profile in every move. ”
"We never gave in!" The half-snake man Eli's blue snake face turned red, "You can't see the light, how do you understand our greatness?" ”
"Your race is barely strong, and it's far from greatness." The elven thief said disdainfully, "I can't understand how you can live in the belly of Wanghai Cliff for a thousand years, thrive, and still not be discovered, the whole race is a rough person like you, how can you live and thrive in the belly of Wanghai Cliff, but still not be discovered—this is really a miracle." ”
"It's another kind of hidden art, but you don't understand it." Half-snake man Eri said coldly.
Yang Hai felt that today was a long insight.
Looking at the belly of the sea cliff? Could it be that the Wanghai Cliff was secretly hollowed out by those half-snake people, and then they lived in it for a whole thousand years?
But the question is, how do they do it? The construction of Wanghai Cliff is already a big project, and it sounds like a miracle to hollow out the mountain wall without being discovered.
Despised by the half-snake people in terms of art, it was obvious that the elf thief felt very shameless, snorted coldly, and no longer dwelled on this issue.
"I'm here for something important to announce." The elven thief said, "Pay attention to your people, our plan has to be carried out in advance. ”
"What's going on?" Half-snake man Eri asked alarmedly. ,
"The Dragon Guardian Guard is too strong." The elven thief said bluntly: "Fernando is simply invincible, and I suspect that the doppelgangers of the gods cannot help him." We may have to withdraw in shortness of breath. ”
"What?" The half-snake man Eri was surprised and angry: "How can you leave like this? It's agreed-"
"There is no interest in continuing here." The elven thief interrupted Erie, "Our agreement is mutually beneficial, we help you disrupt the order of the dragons and draw the attention of the royal family, and you provide us with a sheltered shelter. Now that the Tomb of Pexile is heavily guarded, what good do we have to gain? ”
Eri was speechless for a moment.
"Besides, the time is not short, and everything that should be prepared is probably ready."
"This ......" Eli frowned: "It's not good to talk for a long time here, these things are not something we can decide, let's go back and talk about it." ”
"Good!" The elven thief nodded.
Erie took out a compass, adjusted the direction, and looked closely.
Yang Hai was still curiously observing what that compass was, when he saw an incredible expression appear on Erry's face, and then raised his hand.
Yang Hai felt that his eyes were immediately white and he couldn't see anything, and the next moment it seemed to be lightly tapped, and a wave of heat spread throughout his body from the place where he was hit, and then he lost consciousness.
This is the first time he has experienced the two Rogue's two outrageous skills in the game, Blind and Dull, and it comes from the Half-Snake NPC Rogue.
Eli looked at Yang Hai, who had fallen to the ground softly, and raised the thing in his hand at the elf thief.
"Life Probe." Eri said that the elven thief was still shocked that he had to talk to someone else overheard, and looked at Eri blankly.
"That's why we've been able to survive in the belly of the mountain for a thousand years, my hidden artist friend." Eli said to the elven thieves who had returned to the gods.
"Kill him?" The elven thief asked.
Eri hesitated.
"This man is not a normal recruit." At a glance, Eri came to a conclusion: "Take him back." ”
(Let me explain to you,The thief's stuffy stick is actually not so perverted.,NPC smothered Yang Hai to death with a stick is the reason for the big level gap.,When players fight players,Because it's too close, it will also make the stealth judgment drop very much.,So the stuffy stick basically has to be played while it's unprepared.,And that's just the effect.。 But because of the setting of the critical attack, even if it can only be bored for a moment, this is a very powerful skill, and even players with collars and heart goggles dare not say that they are not afraid at all. )
