190. The Banshee
Brunn's camp wasn't huge, there were no fences or anything like that, just four tents around a campfire in the middle. This kind of tent is not a large tent like the army or mercenary group, and there is not even a military folding bed, just a triangular canopy, which can barely play the role of shelter from the wind and rain, but if you want to really keep warm, you still have to cover it with blankets.
Of the four tents, except for one for Rena herself, the other six people were originally shared by two people. It's just that because of the vigil, most of the time there are actually two tents that only sleep one person - Rena has a little privilege in this regard, that is, she doesn't need to keep vigil, but Brune, as the head of the regiment, is also responsible for the vigil.
The four tents had been arranged closer to each other because of the disappearance of the second companion, but even so, one of the companions who had been keeping vigil had disappeared the night before. The number of people in charge of the vigil increased to two on these two nights, but neither Brune nor Rena were sure if it was safe because of the frequency, because one of their companions would disappear every two nights.
Sean's brow furrowed as he walked around the territory.
"Mr. Sean, did you find anything?" Brune also didn't care about the age gap between them, and directly called Sean by honorific titles.
"I mean, you're too clean, aren't you?" Sean said helplessly, "There are not even a few clues and traces left, so how can you let me judge the situation." ”
At this time, Sean really felt a little like crying without tears. Although he knows a lot of content and things, and even knows the information of almost all monsters, but if he wants him to tell it, there must be a source and clue that can be judged and speculated, if he tells who the enemy is and where he is now, I am afraid that these mercenaries will immediately turn their faces and chase him.
Sean first discovered that the magic stick wasn't that easy to do.
"Is there really no way?" Rena asked reluctantly.
"If I can find a clue, I might be able to try my hand at Destiny Foresight." When Sean talks big now, it's just a no-brainer.
The so-called Destiny Foresight. It is a magic unique to the goddess of fate. This magic was originally in the game. Together with the Great Prophecy and the Great Séance, it is known as the existence of the "Three Forbidden Spells of the Divine Arts", and in addition to the Great Prophecy Technique, which is a legendary magic that players cannot learn at the beginning, the Destiny Prediction Technique and the Great Séance Technique are the strongest legendary magic skills that players can master.
The effect of the former is that players can see the details of up to three cards when they are rewarded in the lottery, so that they can naturally draw what they need most when they are drawn. The latter, on the other hand, is known as a god-like combat skill. In fact, it's true.,The skill description says that the god you believe in is invited into your body through séance.,But the actual effect is to gain the full strength of the god of faith.。 Lasts thirty seconds, and as a penalty is one level lower than the fact.
Of course, these two magic skills naturally can't be obtained so easily, at least after completing a lot of tasks, there is a certain chance of being able to obtain this legendary magic art, and it is also limited to the [Divine Arts] profession to be able to learn. This "magic profession" refers to those that run away to be a priest in the first place. Rather than those who choose part-time theortic professions in order to change jobs.
Therefore, Sean's so-called "Destiny Prediction" is actually a very great divine art, and if the priest or priest of the real Goddess of Fate Temple hears it, he will definitely have a good theory with Sean. It's just that Brune and Rena don't understand anything, so they just sound like they are powerful, but they don't know what is going on.
"Is it any clue?" Rena asked.
"Not really." Sean shook his head, anyway, he was about to pretend to be a god stick, so he just pretended to be some, "The best thing is naturally the traces left by the battle." Because this is the most intuitive. It is also the most accurate to predict. The second is the blood of the Prophet, after all, there is a blood connection. So you can see a little bit more or less, but not as closely as the first method. As for the other clues, then the effect is very limited. ”
Hearing Sean say this, Rena immediately turned around and returned to her tent, and only came out with an iron box after a while, and then opened the iron box, and a strong fishy smell erupted instantly: "Do you see this okay?" ”
Sean endured the nausea, reached out and took the iron box, the golden light in his eyes flashed slightly, and then his expression was stunned. After a while, he raised his head to look at Rena with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "This rag is left over from the battlefield. ”
"Yes." Rena nodded, "This is what I found yesterday, right where Dence disappeared." The smell of the rags was too strong to ignore. After talking about the most ruthless, Rena asked curiously, "What is this rag?" ”
"A corner of the banshee's robe."
Sean's eyes were solemn for nothing. In his impression, although the gathering point of the cultists was a fourth-order dungeon, the difficulty and danger factor were relatively high, and it was not easy for him to fight alone, but if he took this mercenary group, he could easily beat it with a safer and steady way, and there might even be zero casualties.
And the reason why Sean is so confident is naturally because he actually knows a lot about the situation of that copy. And Sean clearly remembered that the monster inside did not have a terrifying magical creature like a banshee, so what was going on with this "corner of the banshee's robe" that appeared in front of him now? Even if Sean's eyes are wrong, it is absolutely impossible to go wrong with such a terrible cheat as the True Eye.
Could it be that it was a banshee who robbed these mercenaries in the first place? And later, when Rena and Brune and these mercenaries entered the cave to fight the infidels, they had already killed the banshee, so when the player entered that dungeon later, they didn't encounter the banshee because of this?
All kinds of thoughts kept flashing through Sean's mind, and he was assessing whether this thing was really as he expected. If so, then Sean felt that he had to change his fighting style and tactics, after all, banshees, who belonged to the undead class of magical creatures, were not easy to mess with, and once they transformed their bodies from entities to spirits, then any physical attack could not be expected to cause damage to them.
Basically, if you want to actually kill a banshee, you can only rely on magic, vindictiveness, or any other damage that has elemental or magical effects attached to it to determine the damage of the banshee, whether it is an entity or a spirit.
And the most troublesome thing about the banshee is that it is born with a special ability: psychic invasion.
The banshee who enters the spirit state can use this skill, and at this time, the dual attributes of will and wisdom will be contested, and once the judgment fails, then the body will be invaded by the banshee, and it will become a new toy in the hands of the banshee - in the early stage of the game, this kind of natural ability is almost unsolvable, and the player who wins this trick can basically only be regarded as dropping one level.
It wasn't until later, after the level of the magician was raised, that he finally learned the skills of mind exorcism and soul hammer shock to directly attack the soul, so that he could completely force out the banshee that occupied the player's heart. However, it is said that some players tried to use NPCs at the beginning, but it obviously failed, and as a result, the hatred was directly locked, and no matter how much T taunted and used the monster pulling skill, it was useless.
But fortunately, the current world is the real world world, so as long as the banshee is not allowed to have the opportunity to perform a psychic invasion, after all, the banshee is actually relatively fragile......
Thinking of this, Sean suddenly shouted: "Sure enough, it's a banshee!" ”
Sean can now be sure that there must have been a banshee monster in the original plot flow, but it was just killed by Rena and others. So later, when the player entered the dungeon, he didn't see the monster Banshee, but in this way, Sean was not only a little curious, how did Rena kill this Banshee in the first place? Could it be that he was ruthless and directly killed his comrades-in-arms?
There are two ways to deal with the banshee, either quickly deal with the banshee, or wait for the banshee to invade someone else's body before killing the person.
And Brune, Rena and the others next to them showed shocked expressions after hearing Sean's exclamation so sure. As for the creature of the banshee, they had only seen it in the classics, so they didn't really know much about it, so naturally they couldn't understand the meaning of Sean's words, so they could only ask.
So, Sean reasoned his reasoning: "The banshee has two forms, the first is the physical form, and any attack in this form can cause some damage to it, so this fragment is cut from it in this state." The second state is the spirit body, once the banshee enters the spirit body, then in addition to magic and fighting energy, no other way can hurt the banshee. ”
“…… And the banshee also has a natural skill, which is psychic invasion. Once the invasion is successful, then you will be under the control of the banshee. Therefore, if three people in your mercenary group have disappeared in a row, it must be this banshee who has caused the ghost, because as long as it launches a psychic invasion, the members of your mercenary group will be controlled, so of course you will not know about his departure......"
Hearing this, in addition to Brune and Rena, the faces of the other two mercenaries turned extremely pale.
"This banshee, it seems, is treating you as captive, just like we keep those domestic animals." After thinking about it, Sean decided to make his inference completely true, "This is also the reason why the Banshee didn't kill you for anything, because it wanted to turn you all into its loot." ”
Rena's face was already full of anger, her fists clenched.
"If I'm not mistaken, this banshee will probably come to you again tonight." (To be continued.) )
PS: Finally fulfilled the promise!!
