"What, you mean......" Lu Wu felt a little unbelievable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"Miss Butterfly Dream ......"
"She's a warlock!" Amber said in a categorical tone. "She has strong magical scars on her body. ”
Lu Wu already knew that after using magic, warlocks would leave traces that slowly dissipated over time, the so-called "magic residues". For ordinary people who don't have magical powers, it makes no difference whether this "scar" exists or not, and they can't feel it anyway, but for warlocks, it's something very important. Because warlocks can track or speculate by distinguishing the scars.
It is for this reason that techniques such as illusion and stealth are not very effective. Any magic leaves a residue, so it's one thing to deal with ordinary people, and another thing to deal with warlocks. It's also an added constraint that prevents warlocks from really doing what they want. On Earth, you use magic to kill a person, and it is estimated that the most clever police detectives and the most advanced equipment cannot find the reason, but in this world, such a crime cannot be concealed at all.
It can be said that there is a very important connection between the establishment of this social order and the remnants of magic.
The Moon faction invented a way to hide its scars, leading to the creation of the Dark Rangers. This method was clearly inadequate, and required a variety of special equipment - as it was obvious that the other Lunamans did not exhibit this ability except for the Rangers. But even such a very imperfect method has still become the trump card of the Dark Moon. Leaving aside the rest for the time being, just the reward offered by the Huiyue camp to the rangers shows how brilliant this army's combat exploits are. Because apart from this special unit, there has never been any other low-level warlock worthy of the Huiyue bounty.
It is precisely because of this that it is very difficult for a warlock to disguise himself as an ordinary person, at least not if he wants to. A warlock must remain unused for a long time in order to erase the traces of magic on his body to an unrecognizable degree. As for how long this time will be, it basically depends on how well he uses his magic. Using a trivial little magic is quite different from going all out to make a burst of magic.
"Magic Remnants ......" Lu Wu repeated the word again.
"And it's a very high, very strong scar. Amber said. "I can't tell if she's a Warlock of the First Law, but she's definitely very powerful, definitely a high-level Warlock. ”
Amber had already judged that there was a warlock by Lu Wu's side - she had wondered if there was such a person by the side of the red cloth. But now, the answer to this question has been revealed.
Now the question becomes: What is Butterfly Dream doing here?
Of course, she might really just be here to do an experiment. There is no conflict between a warlock and a scholar. A strong warlock can also be a good scholar (although this is very rare). But it would be foolish to pin your hopes on this possibility.
Diemeng obviously has a purpose, otherwise, she wouldn't go to so many front-line places, but come here to find Lu Wu? Even from a more general point of view, if she wants to do experiments, it should be more appropriate to find those places controlled by the regular army.
"What is a high-level warlock coming to me for?" Lu Wu asked. this
"I don't know, however, I believe she didn't happen by accident, definitely on purpose. Amber replied.
……
"Ma'am, how did it turn out?" Diemeng returned to her temporary place of residence, just in time to meet her entourage. They have their own things to do today, so they didn't go to visit Lu Wu together.
"It's going well, he doesn't look as scheming as he thought," said the fake female scholar, who was deeply puzzled. Judging from today's speech and demeanor, Lu Wu is not at all like the kind of character she expected, shrewd and cunning, and deeply hidden. It's unclear if this is true or if it's a second mask under the mask. "He must have some secrets that no one knows, but if it's a spy of the Stygian or something, it's unlikely. She thought about it for a moment. "But I had a gut feeling that the bald man's death must have something to do with him, or at least he knew something. ”
"Lu Wu is a warlock?"
"It's impossible. "Fake female scholars are confident in their vision. "That Ranger's death last night obviously had nothing to do with magic, otherwise, he wouldn't have had any magical remnants on his body today. But to say what the Ranger was killed by an accidental electromagnetic cannon is an absolute lie. The deliberate spread of lies itself shows that he knows some truths that cannot be disclosed to the public. ”
"Ma'am, since he was able to kill a Ranger, is it possible to kill ...... What about the one you came across before?"
If that were the case, he would have taken the Ranger's corpse to claim the reward. That amount, tens of millions of Belica, tsk," Diemeng couldn't help but snort a few times. "Even I'm impressed. ”
In fact, the combat power of the rangers themselves is not worth the price, although they are very good scouts, but they are only scouts after all. What really counts is the Rangers' secret of hiding the remnants of their magic - this is a violation of common sense, and it is understandable that the Radiant Moon will do whatever it takes to do so. Although there are special researchers who interpret this, and there are more than one Ranger whose corpses have fallen into the hands of Huiyue's side, overall, the current progress is still zero. As for the reason, at least in part, it is because the sample is too small to analyze a valid conclusion. The ideal for the moment is to capture a Ranger alive and extract the secret of the magic residue from their mouth (so that if you can't "know why", then at least "know what it is"). If this is not possible, then the only way to do this is to collect more corpses and special equipment of the rangers as samples, and make reverse speculations from them to decipher the relevant techniques.
"So it's completely unclear, if it's a Stygian Spy, his current value is too limited, and it's far from worth sacrificing a Ranger for him. And the sacrifice is worthless. If the purpose is to send money to Lu Wu, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send it to him directly? By the way, why does Lu Wu need money?"
"I've got it, ma'am, he seems to have gotten his hands on a floating fortress. ”
"Floating Fortress?......" the imposter female scholar tried to put this statement into laughter. "How is it possible? just by him, the commander of a local army......" Her smile stopped abruptly, because she also suddenly remembered the agreement between the Evening Star Family and Lu Wu before. Well, at first, even she didn't think too much about it, because if there was such a floating fortress that could be repaired casually, would the Evening Star family give this kind of thing to someone else? No, it wasn't worth it for the Evening Star family to make such a deal if ten Aki died. On the other hand, if the Floating Fortress is irreparable, or if it would cost a lot of money to repair (e.g., overhaul, more important equipment, etc.), then it doesn't make much sense.
It is true that this will allow people to be exempt from the restrictions on the permissions required to purchase a floating fortress, but just the same amount of the heavenly number is not something that Lu Wu, who has a foothold in a mining area, can dream of. It's as ridiculous as a toad wanting to eat swan meat. And, it's not like you're tightening your belt, gritting your teeth and buying a floating fortress and you're okay, in fact the real trouble has just begun.
The reason is simple: the power source of the Floating Fortress is antimatter. And the creation of antimatter, at least in this world, the level of technology that has been disclosed does not yet exist. The future aside, at least for the time being, the only way to obtain antimatter is to be made with magic, so it is firmly in the hands of the warlocks. The only way to get fuel from the Floating Fortress is to buy it from the utility trade network. As for the price, I'm sorry, it's also sky-high plus high authority.
Therefore, after the fake female scholar heard about this, she quickly thought that it was a complete fool. Because even the people of the Evening Star family used a lot of vague words, and they refused to explain whether the floating fortress could be repaired well. In short, it should just be a negotiation trick to tempt Lu Wu to go out to save Aki. It was precisely because of this that although she passed the relevant news to the rear, she did not pay much attention to it.
Moreover, the so-called scam will eventually be exposed. Now that Ah Qi has been rescued, now that everything has ended, the current Lu Wu should have understood that this is a scam. In fact, as far as common sense is concerned, this matter should have ended long ago.
Before, both she and her entourage thought so. Maybe the floating fortress can be repaired, but Lu Wu can't repair it.
But now it seems a bit beyond imagination. No, it should be said that this pool of water is getting deeper and deeper. The last Ranger spared Lu Wu (apparently reached some kind of secret agreement), but this Ranger was killed by Lu Wu, does this have anything to do with this floating fortress?
Well, maybe you can make up a little bit and come up with a story: the former spy under the power of the Styx Moon (no matter what reason he became a spy), finally decided to give up his identity on the Stygian side and defect to the arms of the Bright Moon? The Moon would never allow its wings to grow stiff and fly away.
Then she remembered the girl named Amber. Before, she thought that Lu Wu was dead, so she took amber as a target, which is actually the meaning of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so she was especially attentive to her.
Although in terms of age (or the age it looks like on the outside), Butterfly Dream is not much older than Amber, but this does not affect Butterfly Dream to look at the little girl from a condescending senior position. From the first time I met her, the fake female scholar had a familiar feeling. But when she calmed down and thought about it, she found that it was completely impossible for her to make such an impression.
Unless she's a warlock, and then the two of them once inadvertently passed by, leaving a vague impression. But alas, Amber obviously can't be a Warlock. She had slight magical scars on her body, but that was the effect of the magic ring. Now on the side of Gashe City, most people know that Lu Wu has a magic ring in his hand. It seems normal to lend your ring to your girlfriend.
Then, suddenly, a strange horror took over her mind.
What's wrong with me?, she whispered to herself. I'm here to find out who killed the bald head and planted the blame on me...... That's just the purpose. And Lu Wu is just a step to achieve this purpose. But it seems that unconsciously, my interest in Lu Wu is getting bigger and bigger, and it has exceeded my pursuit of the original purpose?
