Section 114 The Emperor's Capital 19
"Then, when Amber can't break free......" Lu Wu began to understand. In this way, the otherwise ridiculous trap becomes of great value.
"But why bother, I mean...... Wouldn't it be nice to have a sniper and snipe Amber from a distance?" It's a stupid way to let the cliff fall down.
"Ha, it's normal that you don't understand. Because without going head-to-head, it's hard to accurately assess the effect of a specific balance of power. Zhu Hua said. "If the strength is as expected, then you can keep the opponent's body still, and you can understand it as paralysis. But if the balance of power is different from what was planned...... Even if you bind the enemy, but only make her have to expend power to counteract your binding effect, it can be understood as slowing down. ”
I see, Lu Wu understood. Even if one side uses all its strength, it does not mean that it can directly trap the enemy, but only slows the enemy down. Because the enemy can also use all his strength to break free. Because the First Lawyer's ability to predict a short future, if it was just a slowdown, it was obviously difficult to say how effective it would be.
So it has to be large, indiscriminate, and so powerful that it is simply impossible to defend against an attack to be effective.
I don't know how many tons of cliffs are dumped down...... No matter what kind of warlock you are, you can't resist it. At the same time, several Stygian Warlocks cooperate with each other, using pre-prepared weapons, props, etc., to keep the slowed amber in place, making it impossible for her to escape from danger.
In this way, Lu Wu fully understood the general content of this trap.
"But, isn't this the end of the same thing?" Lu Wu was still a little puzzled. According to this plan, even if Amber could be killed, wouldn't the Moon Warlocks who carried out the plan also be unable to escape? Die in the line of duty with the determination to die? No wonder the two Moon Warlocks didn't want to carry out this mission. But others are so loyal that they are willing to die?
"Of course not. Zhu Hua simply continued. "We have a strange thing that can send people back to their own world. ”
Lu Wu almost immediately thought of the amber badge. He can rely on this power to travel back and forth between the two worlds...... Of course, the Moon Warlock has something similar. This is also normal, what amber can do, the first lawmaker of the Stygian camp can also make, and maybe even better. Warlocks are a civilization with a long heritage, and it is normal for historical treasures to be left behind.
"The power of that strange thing is independent. Zhu Hua continued. "It has nothing to do with the Warlock. In other words, even when it is fully engaged, it can still be activated independently. At the last moment, we can use the power of the strange thing to walk away, and Amber will be too late. ”
I see, that's what the Stygians planned...... It has to be said that it seems feasible, there are many options depending on the situation, and there is a way out even in the worst case. At least it seems.
"But...... Can the so-called enchantment do that?"
"Absolutely. Zhu Hua can be sure of this. "As long as Amber is flesh and blood, she can't escape her restraints. "It's a pity that the First Lawyer's can stand still.
That's what she knew from Kecha Goat. It's unclear if this is Amber's special ability, or if the other First Wizards are deliberately hiding their own tricks. Because there is no mention in the transcript that the First Lawyer could do such an incredible thing.
In the face of time standing still, this trap has become full of flaws no matter how powerful it is, and it is not worth mentioning.
It's like a group of heavily armed and heavily armed soldiers on Earth besieging a martial artist. Normally, this is a hand-to-hand and perfectly fine task. But if this martial artist is actually a powerful high-level warlock, then no matter how he planned in advance, how he chose his position, how he arranged his manpower, and how he surrounded and intercepted him...... Everything becomes meaningless. This group of soldiers will be defeated.
This is not because the soldiers are too stupid and their plans are inappropriate, but because there is a fundamental difference in strength.
Of course, it seems that the idiots must have done something about it, if not to threaten Amber, but at least caused trouble. Otherwise, Amber should come to Lu Wu.
When she said this, she noticed that Lu Wu's expression seemed a little strange, but she couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Saying this should be able to solve one of Lu Wu's doubts. But everything has happened, not to mention that the two people are trapped under the snow, even if the two people are outside at this time, Lu Wu is helpless. It's the same as Lu Wu revealing that Amber is actually the promoter of this plan. This is the kind of information that sounds crucial, but in fact has no value other than to solve the doubts in the mind.
Now it was her turn to ask.
Zhu Hua actually wanted to ask the Huiyue Warlock directly what the experiment was going to be. However, her reason told her that in the face of such a cunning guy, I am afraid that asking directly will not lead to any good results.
But...... Why did he help Amber?
This is not supposed to be a means of hijacking, nor is it some kind of hypnotic magic. Whether it is the former or the latter, it became a taboo when Lu Wu became a governor. No matter how stupid a Radiant Moon Warlock is, he wouldn't allow this to happen, even if he was a First Lawman. This will shake the fabric of the whole society.
So Amber can't just pull Lu Wu over as an assistant. He's here, apparently with the intention of a higher level, or at least with permission from the top. Well, this should be understandable given the special status.
Even if Lu Wu was born in this world, he had already obtained his identity and position with Wa Ge, and he had to obey the orders of his superiors. This is completely logical.
If a frontal attack is expected to be met with strong resistance, the right option is to attack in a roundabout way.
Zhu Hua didn't speak, just looked at Lu Wu thoughtfully.
Lu Wu took out a compressed biscuit from his backpack - well, although it is called a compressed biscuit, but it is not produced by the earth - and slowly opened it. This thing is very difficult to eat directly, it is dry and hard, and you have to chew it for a long time. By the standards of earthlings, they are not willing to eat directly unless they are forced to do so. Lu Wu is more accustomed to soaking it in water and turning it into a paste (although it is not delicious, at least it will not be so dry and difficult to swallow), but there is only snow here, no water.
"Do you want to eat?" Lu Wu asked.
Zhu Hua's eyes flashed with an unnoticeable strange light. "Not for now. She shook her head. "The body can't move. "Although the focus is on the lungs, in fact, all the internal organs are injured by the powerful shock and shock, and the digestive system is not immune. The reason why she can still hold on, and she can still think and speak normally is entirely because she uses magic to suppress injuries.
If nothing changes, it will take about two days for her to regain her ability to eat. Hunger can be forcibly suppressed with mana, but she should drink some water.
She wasn't worried about exposing anything - the fact that she was lying so far and unable to move was a testament to that.
However, it seems that Lu Wu has a lot of food in his backpack.
But no matter how much, if it is two people, it will never exceed the twenty-day supply. She wasn't sure how far she would be able to recover after twenty days, but she could give it a try.
But then again, even in her heyday, she wasn't sure she would be able to get out of the snow on her own. In other words, success depends on how thick the snow layer is.
Forget it for now, maybe when the injury is a little better, she can choose to kill Lu Wu. In this way, there will be more time to recuperate, and the chances of escape can be increased by a few points.
She thought absentmindedly. Yes, a Stygian sorcerer should do that, isn't it? After all, the two sides are hostile to each other. Don't look at the coexistence of the two sides at this time, but this is only an unstable state. Kill the enemy...... She struggled to shake the thought away.
Lu Wu can't be allowed to perceive her intentions now. She told herself. So it's best not to think about it. Yes, she had to hide her hostility before she could move freely.
"Want water?" she asked. Lu Wu nodded. She gestured with the corner of her mouth, "I have a cup here, and this oxygen machine has a heating function on it, which can boil some hot water." ”
Thomas unwrapped his baggage and lit a fire on the alcohol stove.
Today he had another great harvest. Who would have thought that a whole herd of Tibetan antelopes would pass by today.
These mysterious elves of the plateau have always been a favorite of photographers. In fact, there are two most attractive creatures on the Tibetan Plateau, a Tibetan antelope and a snow leopard. But the Tibetan antelope is known to be a timid and vigilant creature, and it is extremely difficult to get a picture of them up close. It is usually taken from a great distance, and this kind of photo is always blurry and unclear. A clear photo is worth a photographer's hard time for dozens of days, but it may not always be taken.
But today I can't say what's going on, this group of Tibetan antelopes is not very afraid of people. Thomas reckons it's because they've recently passed through a town or a road. In short, they should have encountered more than one group of non-hostile humans before. Animals are the same in this regard, and the more they have seen it, the more they have become bolder. Not far from Thomas, these Tibetan antelopes dig through the snow with their hooves and eat lichens and other plants. The whole herd is not only adult rams, but also ewes and lambs. One of the lambs walked all the way to a very close distance to Thomas, and looked at him curiously for a long time before leaving.
These precious photos and videos will definitely make him famous. Thomas is very sure of this.
However, after admiring his precious loot today, he still decided to go back tomorrow to ask for help.
