Chapter 14: The Long Night (The Extra Part Makes Up for Yesterday)

"I didn't expect these aboriginal adventurers to be really affectionate and righteous. Those of us who don't really die in the game can't do that. When I returned to the noodle table in the house, I was quite emotional.

Hearing Noodles' words, Rielly retorted with a hint of sarcasm on her face, "Do you think they really made such a decision because of the hatred of their peers?" What aboriginal adventurer has not experienced such a parting of life and death. The guys who mixed well just now could see that they had been in the industry for a long time. Even if he is indifferent to life and death, at least he will not affect his own interests because of his feelings for the deceased. ”

"Whisper, this door isn't that thick!" Barrett knocked softly on the door behind him. At the moment, they were just ordinary rooms, and the soundproofing here was not as good as the small rooms in the tavern. If the adventurers outside the corridor had a heart, they might not have heard what the players had just said.

Noodles are not stupid, and when the Master mentions this, he can't tell what's going on. He lowered his voice and asked, "You mean they want to take advantage of that opportunity to break through?" ”

"I think it's obvious enough. Does the situation in front of the Sainoa family look like a wrecked ship that is about to sink? "Those guys are like rats on a ship, and they think the ship is sinking because they want to swim near the sea. ”

Lalu twisted his head and looked at the three companions: "Then what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do! Don't forget we're players! If it's a big deal, hand over a resurrection stone as a lesson. Barrett shifted his gaze to Rielly, "Anyway, Miss Mage has a way to compensate us for our losses. ”

"Don't make a fuss, I still have to prepare spells! With so much to say, it's better to take advantage of this time to take a good rest, and in three hours it will be your turn to be on duty. Rielie immediately buried herself in the sea of books and pretended to be an ostrich.

Three hours isn't a long time, but by the time Barrett three go out on a rotation. Rielie had already left the room. In order to ensure the success of the scroll copying, the Sainoa family prepared a quiet room for female mages. After completing the preparation of the day's spells, Rielly has already begun the great task of converting daily spells into props...... The young gentleman smiled at the players and stepped forward.

Barrett, who saw the person coming, immediately released his kindness: "It's actually Young Master Sainoah, I really didn't expect that it would be you who will be responsible for guiding us specifically!" ”

"Nope! It's not just about guiding you on what to look out for when you're on duty. "What's more important is that I will bless you with a support spell. to make sure those guys in the black dagger don't trick your sight. And this kind of thing can only be done after the whole Sainoa family. ”

"Blessing spells? And is it a task that only you can do? Alertness was immediately written on Noodle's face. Among the common basic classes, the Wanderer is arguably the one with the most exposure to the Dark Side. Having seen a lot of all kinds of black hands behind them, they have a natural rejection of this spell from an unfamiliar person.

, fortunately, Barrett spoke out in time to alleviate this embarrassment: "Dragon Evil Magic? It's really a support spell that only you can use! ”

"I'm the only one in this generation who has this kind of talent." "It's a pity that my physique is not strong enough to maximize the abilities of the Dragon Fire Warlock. ”

Unlike other arcane spellcasters. Dragonfire Warlocks are not capable of preparing or casting spells in the usual sense. Instead, he gathers the wild magical power that flows through his soul to attack, defend, or achieve other effects, an ability known as hex.

This method of casting spells is very primitive, and it is difficult to make any precise control changes. Compared to the arcane arts, which have been refined by countless generations of mages, this primitive spellcasting ability is not only rare in the variety of options available, but also has a large flaw in strength.

In other words, it is weak and weak. However, this kind of spellcasting ability can be stored and has not been eliminated so far. The biggest reason is that it is less restrictive in terms of usage. There is almost no limit to the number of uses other than the consumption of part of the body, and in this regard, the caster who needs to calculate his spell slot at all times is really weak.

"The Dragon Fire Warlock's auxiliary magic is very famous in the army, but I don't know which kind of blessing you want to give us today?" Barrett patted Noodle on the shoulder as he spoke, motioning for him to relax and not react so much.

Near-real combat isn't a turn-based game, where explosive output is far more important than weak output that needs to be used multiple times. Even if the latter accumulates damage in 1 to 2 minutes, it will be enough time for a guy of the same level to kill you more than once.

However, auxiliary spells that can store zài for a long time are worth paying attention to for everyone. Several of the auxiliary states in the Dragon Fire Cult are based on their normal onset time and the way they can be used for large-scale blessings. It has been valued by each * team.

"The only magic I can use right now is called 'Unseen!' , which gives you great visual abilities. In the 24 hours you have been blessed with this state you will be able to gain 6o feet of dark vision, and you will be able to see invisible creatures and objects as if you had cast the spell 'See-Through Invisibility'. ”。 Then he emphasized: "Of course, the change in the effect of this spell will have a certain impact on your normal vision, and what you need to pay attention to here is ......"

Although the effect of this spell allows one to see any invisible objects or creatures in the field of vision, including certain things in the spirit state. However, in their field of vision, they are still in a somewhat erratic and translucent state, and they will inevitably be frightened when they see it for the first time. Especially some women who have not had a similar experience.

It is also important to note that this spell cannot see through illusions, and it does not help with things that are difficult to see by simply hiding and concealing. That is, a wanderer with high stealth skills hides in a corner. You can't show up and you can't show up.

"Truly a great ability!" Barrett's admiration is entirely visceral. At the same time, looking at the slightly shy boy in front of him, his eyes also changed slightly.

This one has both the effects of the mage's prophecy two-ring spell detection stealth and the mutation-based two-ring spell dark vision. Duration is even worse unless it is a Legendary Caster. Otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve such a level without paying any other cost.

Adolescents at this age tend to be very sensitive. At the same time, he is also at an age where he likes to express himself and wants others to identify with him. After feeling Barrett's change of attitude, he immediately felt a lot more kind.

But as the players' eyes shifted to him, the kid immediately became a little uncomfortable: "Don't do this! Awakening one's own evil art is uncontrollable. I'm just lucky. ”

"That's it! All right! Let's stop staring at the young master of the employer's family like this. Scratching the heads of the two companions, Barrett said solemnly, "It's about to be time for the shift change, is it time for the shift change, should Master Sainoa hurry up and bless us with a spell, so as not to wait for the others." ”

"Okay! Which of you will come first? ”。

As the team leader, Barrett volunteered: "I'll come first!" ”

During the whole process, he held his breath and did not say a word, only the constantly changing fingers and dancing limbs to guide the surging energy in his body.

With the final finger on Barrett's body. "Are you still used to it?" Some of those adventurers before would have felt dizzy. ”

"Nope! I'm fine, I should say it feels pretty much the same as my original dark vision. The rest of the people only learned the difference when they encountered invisible creatures. Barrett observed some of the things that didn't change much around the area.

"That's great. Who is the solution? ”。 As Player 66 continued to receive this buff spell, both Noodles and Lalu looked around curiously, but thankfully several of them did not experience the same symptoms as someone before them.

At the same time, it tells what Barrett and others need to face, pay attention to and how to deal with it when they are on duty.

On the whole, Sainoa's mansion is not small. However, the square layout makes the span of the wall not very large in each direction. From this point of view, it is more conducive to defense. In this way, in addition to the main door on the first floor, which can be almost so sealed, the roof on the east and west sides of the second and third floors has become a key part of the defense.

Of course, the Sainoa family did not try to seal the windows before. However, the window that was hastily sealed with wood and debris can be said to be very lightly smashed open by the mercenaries of Silver Shark with heavy weapons such as sledgehammers. Although this also provided a certain warning for the Sainoa family's defense, it didn't take long for everyone to realize that the original reserve of wood was not enough. After weighing the pros and cons,.

"In other words, our main task now is to ensure that these four windows do not become convenient passages for the Silver Shark to attack." Noodle's expression isn't good right now.

From the signs of chaos near this window in front of him, it can be seen that the four windows on the second floor are the main direction of the Silver Shark mercenary group's invasion. After all, Silver Shark and their collaborators didn't have the courage to lay the hammer down on the construction equipment in the city, otherwise the city guards would never have remained silent like they are now.

In this way, there are only two best options for attacking this specially built mansion: first, the ladder is climbing, and once the ladder is used, the second floor is obviously more convenient than the third floor. Second, it is to use other mansions as a springboard to occupy the top floor of Lausai Noah's mansion. Then the staircase on the top floor is used as a breakthrough.

On the other hand, the third floor is mainly to prevent the infiltration of those wanderers of the black dagger. It was not good for large-scale attacks, but it was not very good for loiterers who used hooks and ropes. The silk thread with the bells, the thistles on the ground and on the windowsills are all for the wanderer. Of course, there are also special sentry posts here, but their pressure is much lighter than that on the second floor.

"As soon as the enemy appears, just give the signal." All the fighting members of our Sainoa family will be mobilized. The fastest batch will arrive here in 2 minutes at most. ”

"In that case, we don't have a problem." Barrett nodded, "The environment here is not suitable for the deployment of troops, although there are many Silver Sharks, it is not easy to break through quickly with a numerical advantage. As long as it wasn't for the big-eyed leader who went out in person, we were still confident that we would last for a while. ”

"Since you say that, you naturally have a certain degree of certainty. But I warn you that those damn black daggers aren't just on the third floor. ”。“ In fact, we suffered one of our worst losses. It's because those damn guys infiltrated and cooperated with the silver shark inside and outside. ”

"Don't worry! We also have a good record against those guys in the Black Dagger! With that, Barrett gave the noodles a look that was all up to you. The latter directly rolled his eyes in protest.

"I've said everything I need to say! Then before the handover of the next shift, I'll leave it to you here. ”…… The long and boring "defending the city" career of the players began. It's not easy to keep an eye on the four windows for hours on end. Intelligent beings are not machines, but they can't operate like this.

Fortunately, Barrett also has some experience with this kind of thing. He simply divides himself, Noodles, and Lalu into three groups, taking turns staring at possible enemy positions. Whenever someone gets bored, let your companion take over their task and relax for a while. This is the best option for players who have not been specifically trained.

The minutes just ticked by. The cold winter night greatly consumes the figure's body. But it also stimulates the spirit of the characters. Suddenly, the sound of "knock knock, knock bang, bang bang" made the players' already tense nerves jump.

The Mo knife in Barrett's hand was instantly unsheathed, and Noodles raised the crossbow to find a target, and Lalu even jumped directly to Barrett's head and looked around. But except for the constant sound coming in from the window. The attack that the crowd feared did not come with the sound.

After a while, there was no new change, and the noodles who were sure to be harassment finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect the same harassment to feel so different in different situations." ”

"The mentality is different, this is something that can't be helped!" Barrett put away his own strange knife. Then he took the compound longbow out of his waist.

Noodles asked suspiciously, "Barrett, are you going to fight back?" ”

"Fight back? It's just a pause for the damn guys down there. With that, Barrett leaned against the window and observed the situation outside, and began to find his target in the square outside the house with the convenience of dark vision.

"What a bunch of cunning guys! All of them are hiding in the corners, and few of them are easy to get. After muttering to himself, Barrett withdrew his longbow and reached for the noodles, "Lend me your crossbow." I don't believe I can't wait for the right target. ”

Listening to the noisy noodles outside, like beating gongs and drums, he stepped forward and handed out the guy who was eating by himself: "Barrett, are you spending time with them?" But aren't you going to change positions? You've got a bad shooting horizon there! ”

"No! It's a visual blind spot for outsiders, and it's not only hard to fight back, but it also gives them an illusion of safety. Barrett, who had taken the crossbow, had a sneer on his face.

"Good luck then!" As he spoke, Noodles took out two balls of cotton from his waist bag and stuffed them into his ears. to resist the constant sound of the ear.

But Lalu's little creature didn't seem to need such a thing, and his two little ears were covered by that. Just like that, he curled up under the torch again, not to mention the cat people. Even if he is really a cat, some people believe it!

Time kept passing, and the noise outside the house was repeated in a noisy and irregular cycle. In addition to the Sainoah family, which they were mainly targeting, the neighbors around the square were also not at peace. It is a pity that most people are forced by the coercion of the underworld forces and do not dare to make any moves.

Barrett, who waited patiently in the cold wind, was like a goshawk in the sky, waiting for the appearance of prey on the ground with his sharp gaze. He was confident that his wait would not be in vain, and that the members of the Silver Shark Mercenary Group would never be able to remain unflawed. If they have that kind of strength. The Sañoah family's mansion has long since fallen.

Barrett's face was covered with frost as time passed, and the night breeze of this season caused Barrett's exhaled moisture to freeze directly on his face. If it weren't for the high body lì as a backing. His fingers were already numb.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the originally empty square. No! It can't be said to be a figure, but just an arm that enters Barrett's field of vision.

'Wait! Wait! The other party is about to take it anymore. Barrett kept admonishing himself. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Barrett to see half of a humanoid creature in his field of vision. In this hellish weather, the guys outside the house also had to move to keep themselves warm so that they wouldn't get frozen.

"It's now!" Barrett, holding the crossbow, held his breath and pulled the trigger. "Buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! "It's the afterglow of the crossbow strings. The sound of crossbows breaking through the air was muffled by the whirring night wind.

Suddenly, there was a scream in the noise outside the house, and then the original harassment 66 stopped. Then the shouts and curses were blown into the mansion by the wind, in exchange for the cheers of the people on duty in several other places. Noodles gave Barrett a thumbs up, but the little guy yawned as if he had nothing to do with it.

After that, as if I was worried about someone being sniped, the noise from outside the house finally stopped. Barrett, who had no masochistic tendencies, didn't intend to spend the night blowing on the tuyere, so he returned the crossbow to the noodles and sat down next to Laru. Tonight, the companions of the Sainoa family's camp will finally be able to sleep peacefully.

When it was time to change shifts, a silver-scaled warrior from the Sainoa family directly picked up the noodles and turned around twice: "Well done, little guy, you really gave a sigh of relief to everyone!" You need to know ......"

The noodles that were held up in the air to listen to the chatter of people conveyed to Barrett a look of help. It seems that he wants the initiator to take over his share of responsibility. It's a pity that Barrett actually watched the joke from the sidelines with a wicked taste. (To be continued)
