Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 107 We are all hindsight
Even though the cracks in the air were thinner than glass shards, the defensive spells were ultimately unable to resist a slap from Gunifa.
Pukelt Charlton Rice's rib-like body was slapped hard. Several broken ribs flew in the air, drawing several graceful curves before falling to the ground. As for the lich himself, he was like a fly that had been struck by a fly swatter, and was directly swatted to the ground.
- You big ugly monster
- You monster.
- Monsters.
The shouting that had been echoing in my ears for a long time finally stopped, and my ears suddenly became clear.
Since Fang Qiuling's "Gu Nifa, it has been decided that it is you!" At the beginning, the atmosphere of the scene began to deflect uncontrollably, and it felt a little more nonsensical farce.
Especially now that the lich is flattened on the ground like a big pie, and his leg bones twitch from time to time, it is full of joy.
"Why do I suddenly feel ......" Lily's face was a little more strange, "this guy is a little pitiful?" ”
"Pathetic?" The male paladin's voice raised an octave, and he immediately denied it, "What is his poor ......"
But before he could finish speaking, his voice lowered. The scene in front of me does have a bit of a "pitiful" feeling.
Fang Qiuling raised his eyebrows, and said in a troubled manner: "It's obviously a lich, and everyone is afraid of it, but it was chased and bitten by the 'big dog', and there was no way to escape. It's obviously a powerful spellcaster, but none of the spells he casts can hurt his opponent. Obviously, everything was arranged and various means were arranged, but in the end, it fell short. It's obviously ......"
"That's enough, you don't have to say anything."
Fang Qiuling's words pierced the heart. There is no need to put yourself in the shoes of others, just looking at the lich twitching on the ground, you will feel that the lich in front of you is really miserable, and it has to be said that it is really a failure to get mixed up to this point.
"It's over?"
"Well, this time it's really over."
……
"Wow!"
The kittens who sat around let out exclamations, their eyes widened one by one, and the ears above their heads stood high. A few timid ones even hid their heads in the arms of their companions, but their ears were still standing up high, and they refused to miss a hearing.
Today's story is so enjoyable, too much to the appetite of the kitten charms. Brother Thulick and Sister Lily not only have a fierce battle with zombies in the dungeon, but the whole world is behind it!
Floating in the air, holding a black staff, wearing a black robe, a body made entirely of skeletons, and bright red soul fire burning in its eye sockets.
- The Lich looks terrifying! I'm definitely going to have nightmares at night!
- Zombies are scary and scary!
- It's exciting, it's fun!
The flames licked the bottom of the medicine pot, and the water in the medicine pot was already completely boiling.
Fang Qiuling coughed lightly and pointed to the medicine pot on the bonfire. The kittens immediately meowed and jumped up and got busy by the medicine pot.
Remove the impurities floating on the surface of the liquid, add the next batch of washed and cut herbs, pour in some cold water to lower the temperature in the pot, and then stir again......
The kitten charms moved quickly, methodically handling the semi-finished potions that were being refined. At the moment, they are extremely efficient, whether it is controlling the temperature of the medicine pot or the amount of herbs added, everything is just right. Compared to before the storytelling, the efficiency is several times higher at this moment.
Fang Qiuling looked at this scene a little funny, and at the same time felt a little emotional. The kittens are very hardworking, but they are only eleven or twelve years old, but they have become an important labor force in the family at an early age. However, because there are no specialties in the village, they can only rely on the sky to eat, and even if they are busy every day, they can only barely get half full. So for a small reward, whether it is a few pieces of dried fish or bread, or even a little story, the kitten charms will be very happy, and they will immediately burst into great enthusiasm.
After walking with the kitten charms for a few days, Fang Qiuling consumed almost half of the snacks in the storage bag. He didn't eat a bite of it himself, and gave it all to the kitten charms to try.
Old Tom stroked his beard, but there was no shock on his face. He is also not young, and he is relatively more experienced: "What about old Charlton? Are you sure he's the Pockelt Charlton Rice? ”
"That's right, this guy is the last heir of the Ripple River Fort Rice family. Oh, Dad, you can write a report directly, and give an explanation to the heraldic institute and you're done. The last heir of the Rice family is willing to fall......
Fang Qiuling had just raised his head, and Lily on the side interjected, "That's not right." The old Charlton you're talking about, he's not the last heir to the Rice family. The last heir was his daughter, a woman named Maggie. ”
Then change a few words and add a few words, and the head of the family and his eldest daughter will be willing to fall. It's over. ”
Fang Qiuling said lightly, making Old Tom roll his eyes.
Lily picked up a stick of firewood with tongs and put it in the campfire: "Hey." I have a question. ”
"Tell me, what's the problem."
"It's that Maggie, this priestess. Shino, your master told you to pay special attention to this guy. ”
"Yes." Shino nodded slightly, "When I hit that big mouse, my lord asked me to pay special attention to this woman." ”
“…… Really. Lily sighed, "How do you know there's something wrong with this guy?" ”
"Yes, Shulick. How do you know there's something wrong with Maggie? She's been in Lakesprings for several years. A very kind girl. ”
Fang Qiuling turned his head sideways and thought about it: "I found it from the details." ”
"What details?"
"At first, it was because of the priest's gown she was wearing. There were several bulges on the priest's run that shouldn't have been bulging. For example, the inside of the sleeves, under the chest, up and down the sides of the waist, here in the lower abdomen, and ......"
"Huh! You peeked at her chest! Dirty! ”
Lily immediately expressed her disgust.
Fang Qiuling hurriedly explained: "It's not what I want to see!" This woman sat across from me when she was resting! I saw it naturally! ”
"Humph! So what does this mean? ”
"These positions are raised, so there must be a hidden bag in this place, which is used to put spell casting materials. I didn't count them carefully, but ten bags are the minimum. The priest's spell casting materials are relatively simple, and he doesn't use so many hidden bags. The priest's robe has a maximum of three or five pockets, which is remarkable. Why does she have so many dark pockets? ”
"This is also a detail?"
"Of course. The casting materials must be placed in the place where they are most comfortable, otherwise what should I do if I get it wrong? If you take the wrong spell casting material at the critical moment, it will be really fatal! Robes with more than a dozen hidden pockets are generally a favorite of wizards. So I started to be a little skeptical at that time. ”
"Mr. Norn, are you right...... Our pastors in Notos know well? ”
A hoarse voice came from behind him. Turning around, Pastor Ed was leaning on the carriage with his arms crossed.
"Of course. I also know that you pastors tend to choose the more expensive ones when choosing spellcasting materials. Your priests generally believe that your spellcasting materials are more likely to ensure the success of the magic and the effectiveness of the magic spell. In reality, however, this is an absolutely erroneous perception. ”
Fang Qiuling made an inviting gesture and motioned for Pastor Ed to come and sit by the campfire. But Pastor Ed shook his head and refused.
"The sage, the wise St. Soglan, Thorgland Calquincy No. Danonia, has studied the materials for casting spells in depth. In his book, The Discovery and Exploration of Soglan, there are three chapters devoted to the selection of materials for spellcasting. The Sages pointed out that priests tend to prefer 'homogeneous' materials when choosing casting materials, which leads to a high amount of precious metals in casting materials. Obviously, a variety of different casting materials can be used to create a more economical combination that can significantly increase the effect of spells, but because of the original intention of 'homogenization', the cost of casting has risen sharply. ”
Pastor Ed was speechless, because Fang Qiuling was not wrong at all. He himself is like that.
"For example, the commonly used fluorescent materials, wizards generally choose to extract the juice of luminous plants, dry them in the sun, and use them. When there are no glowing plants, secondary processed products such as firefly tails are used, and shamans near the sea will choose anglerfish dried lanterns. What about your pastors? Accustomed to using Auora Shine Mine. What is the price of a standard unit of weight for Auora Flare? What is the price of a unit of 'ordinary' fluorescent material? Can the two be compared? ”
Pastor Ed looked up at the sky and stopped speaking at all.
Old Tom was a little curious: "What is the Auora Shining Mine?" ”
"It's unrefined, high-purity gold ore. In the era of the sages, the gold mine was called the Alora Shine Mine. ”
Lily stuck out her tongue, "Using gold ore as a spellcasting material?" It's really extravagant......"
"That's right, especially the priests of the goddess of wealth, who are more extravagant. The casting materials used are even more exaggerated. Fang Qiuling shrugged, "So I saw that there were a lot of hidden pockets on the priest's robe of this woman, and I began to be suspicious." Of course, there are many doubts along the way, find one, and then pay special attention to it, then the details will be even more. For example......
Fang Qiuling pointed to the priest's robe on Ed's body.
"Remember the big rat we killed, and it took a break. After killing the big rats, we went down to the second level, and it didn't take long to find the place where you first encountered ghouls. And then the woman got a clue, right? None of us noticed the strips of rags on the floor of the robe, the first thing she saw. ”
"That's true, but what if she's more careful." Lily nodded in agreement with the process described by Fang Qiuling, "It's a bit unreasonable to doubt her for this." ”
Fang Qiuling glared at Lily and motioned for her not to interject: "First the strips of cloth on the robe, then the fragments of the Wind Saint Emblem, and then all kinds of messy things. Doesn't feel like there's a problem, right? ”
Lily was a little unimpressed: "What could be the problem?" ”
"Have you ever wondered how you got this strip of cloth off? Ground on the ground? ”
Ed touched his face, and was equally disapproving: "Otherwise? How did it come about? ”
"The underground passage is a little dark, but the road surface is still flat, and it depends on grinding it down, one or two are fine, normal. Maybe it's because the robe has been around for a long time. Dropped so much, almost...... If there are seven or eight, then there must be a problem! I think he tore it off himself. ”
Lily still disagreed: "Cut, dragged by ghouls, tearing yourself as you go?" Joke. ”
"Hey, Miss Olosika, are you mistaken? Old Charlton was the culprit, and the woman was his accomplice. Instead of helping me think about the doubts she exposed, you criticized the doubts I raised. Aren't you brainbroken......"
"What did you say?"
Lily immediately jumped up and grabbed Fang Qiuling's face and pulled it to both sides.
"Hmm...... Hand! Flip over...... Hand! Painful"
After a period of ravage, Lily sat back contentedly, Pastor Ed and Old Tom smiling, and Fang Qiuling covered her cheeks, her face full of resentment.
"You can look like this, it's not right to look like this!"
"Okay, okay, this is indeed a suspicion. Shulick, sort of one. But this suspicion alone is not enough. ”
Old Tom's words are still more pertinent.
"There are more doubts in the back. For example, after looking at the map, I said that there is a secret passage. Then the woman fell. As soon as this fall fell, the mechanism of the secret passage was found. Then when we fought the zombies, she lay down without a few spells. ”
Pastor Ed thought for a moment and began to nod his head: "That's right, it's true. I really didn't pay attention at the time. But now that I think about it, Maggie seems to have used three or four spells and lay on the ground. ”
"Right. It's a problem, right? In fact, when dealing with the big rat, I basically confirmed that this woman was a mole. ”
"Big rats? How do you know for sure? ”
"Old Ed, you were behind me when I fought the big rat. Do you remember that the rat rushed up at the beginning and was stopped by Lady Mogley. Then there was a fight, and after a few stabs, I shot it with an arrow. The big rat realizes that it is no match for Lady Mogre and intends to run. ”
“…… I'm a little impressed. What's wrong? ”
The big rat was obviously scared, and was already kicking back and preparing to escape, but before he could turn around, he immediately went berserk. You've thrown a couple of spells up, it's the Wall of the Wind, right? It hit its head and bled without stopping. ”
"Yes, that's right." Fang Qiuling described it slightly, and Pastor Ed immediately remembered, "I was also a little strange at that time. Is this big rat crazy or something. ”
Fang Qiuling shook his head: "It's not that it's crazy, it's that someone used a berserk technique on it." ”
"Berserk?"
Lily and Pastor Ed let out surprised voices.
"Who cast the spell?"
"Do you need to ask? Maggie, of course. ”
"Maggie put it? That's impossible! Berserk we ......" Pastor Eddard didn't finish his words, and then he suddenly realized as if he had thought of something, "Maggie is not a priest, she is a wizard!" She's also a necromancer! ”
"Yes, that's right. She's a wizard, not a priest. Fang Qiuling's words naturally attracted Pastor Ed's unfriendly gaze, "Don't look at me, I have evidence, one hundred percent proof that this woman is a wizard, not some priest." No matter how big your eyes are, I don't know how she has been living in the temple for so many years. This is a loophole in the management of your temple, if you want to check it yourself, you may be able to catch a few of her accomplices. ”
