Section 79 Potential Threats
If it was a different condition, even if someone mentioned it in person, the high-level of the Stygian Warlock would probably not believe it. Exploiting a new, unprecedented use of magic? Is it true that countless warlocks in both camps have been fools and idiots for so many years? On the contrary, the development of magical uses has always been a key research direction for warlocks. For example, a researcher who was able to wear the most basic Fourth Law magic ring and developed this purpose has unsurprisingly become a winner in life, with fame, status, and wealth. Although it was developed by the Huiyue camp, the one who interpreted and copied this technology on the Stygian side (of course, this statement is still up for debate, but the official on the Stygian side announced that it was his side that first researched it and was pirated by the Huiyue Warlock) also immediately jumped to the pinnacle of life, and it is said that if it were not for bad luck (this statement usually means that there is a large group of candidates with comparable conditions waiting for that position, or the consul himself is very young or may have just taken over, and there is still a lot of life to "survive the crown prince". ”。 Even the Archon can be crowned. After such a long period of time, the Warlocks could boldly declare that the potential of the power of magic may still exist, but to say that a whole new realm has been developed is simply a dream.
If it weren't for Kecha Goyat and the war he started, a fool would know what the Archon would have done if the report had been submitted to the desk of one of the Archons (a detailed report, not an unfounded rumor). I guess it would be a grin, and I threw the record into the wastebasket. If that report paper was clean enough, maybe he, Lord Archon, would use it to wipe down his boots, desk corners, or other dirty spots before throwing it in the wastebasket.
If the Radiant Moon Warlock wants to be stupid, let them be stupid, and the Moon Warlock doesn't need to follow. The saved manpower and resources can do more than that.
But now with Kecha Goat, things are different. Knowing that he had made some kind of pact with the cunning Radiant Moon Warlocks, the Moon Warlocks had to face it with a thorn of heart. If it's Kecha Goat, then he could indeed do it. In fact, he has already done it. You must know that it was he who developed the magic of "devouring", which is unprecedented. Prior to Kechagoat, all Warlocks believed that magic was a natural power that could not be enhanced (but could be weakened by injury or other reasons). All the warlocks can do is to enhance their skills in using this power, so that they can exert their power more effectively. But this creation of Kecha Goyat completely broke the perception of warlocks.
Since he broke it once, it wouldn't be surprising even if he broke it a second time.
As mentioned earlier, this kind of experiment does not require too many personnel and materials. That's why the Radiant Moon Warlock chose a safe, but difficult to transport people and supplies.
"Are you sure it's safe?"
"Preliminary determination of safety. But I don't know if there's a ...... in it However, there were no defenses or guards around them. It seems that they have no vigilance at all...... Are you going to go in and search?"
Zhang Le turned his head and observed his group of subordinates. They were well aware of the risks of this reconnaissance. Just as they can detect the Radiant Moon Warlock with their magic residues, the Radiant Moon Warlock will also be aware of their presence based on the magic residue if they are not careful. And once they are exposed......
A warlock with the magic of the first law, no one can tell what level of power there is. And the biggest advantage they have is nothing more than "surprise". That's why the top didn't send a group of high-ranking warlocks with more powerful powers, but only them.
This is a strict and complete logic: once detected by Amber, the first lawman of the Radiant Moon camp, then unless he is also the first lawyer, no one can beat Amber. On the contrary, if you don't notice it, then even a low-level warlock can still complete the task of reconnaissance and spying. In this case, a low-level warlock is a better choice. Because once defeated, it is much better to lose a few low-level warlocks than to lose a few high-level warlocks.
He began to regret the constant use of magic by his group. Even if they didn't do anything at the moment, tiny traces of magic continued to flow out of their bodies, forming slight marks around them.
"You," he pointed at Zhu Hua with his hand. "Go in and have a look. ”
To him, this is his least reliable and least valuable subordinate. In fact, after initially grasping the situation in this world, he no longer needs this subordinate. Not only that, but she also seemed to be happy to do nothing, which allowed her to spend the least amount of mana in recent times, and the fewest mana residues on her body - almost invisible.
Of course, in such a clean environment as the earth, no one knows if it is really invisible. After all, the ability to perceive the remnants of magic is like the human sense of sight and hearing, and there are differences between different warlocks.
Zhu Hua glanced at him and walked forward without saying a word. The attitude was not very good, but at least it was obeyed.
The others scattered, watching the wind from multiple locations to prevent the Radiant Moon Warlock from returning suddenly. Zhang Le himself held his mobile phone (yes, they have completely adapted to the way of talking on Earth) and kept in touch with Zhu Hua.
"Will the door open?"
"Simple old-fashioned lock, open with a single stroke, no effort at all......"
"Did you find anything?"
"I don't see any special equipment...... It looks like a very ordinary house...... It seems that even if there is specialized equipment, it should be hidden somewhere else. ”
"Rummaging around, we need more evidence. ”
"Found some food...... It should still be edible...... within the shelf life. Even if it's not the lair of the Radiant Moon Warlock, it's at least a place to come often. Oh, what's in the trash...... Some of the fresher food scraps. It doesn't look like it's been too long to leave. ”
"Anything else? I need a more specific piece of evidence related to the Radiant Moon Warlock. Otherwise, the magic remnants alone won't be enough to prove that we've found the right target. ”
"The power on the desktop computer is still on...... Judging by the dust of the chassis, there should be a lot of use. There may be information in the computer, but I don't have a storage device in my hand, so it's better not to startle the snake for the time being......"
"A key piece of evidence was found in the drawer...... A hemostatic spray printed with the words of Wago on it...... It is a product of the Radiant Moon faction. That's enough evidence! This should be their habitat!"
"Come back," Zhang Le quickly gave the order to retreat. Of course, this aspect is also for yourself. If it is discovered, Amber will definitely not catch a Zhu Hua and be fine. Even if she is an idiot, she knows that her actions have been detected by the enemy, and when the time comes, not to mention that her power is very terrifying, even if Amber can't find the enemy for various reasons, she is likely to take other measures, such as going to another world. If such a thing really happened, then the operation of their group of scouts could be said to be a complete failure.
The Stygians are not a group known for their tolerance. What happens to the loser who messes up such an important task...... Even Zhang Le didn't want to think about it.
"Now we don't know anything about the laws of their actions, and today we are already lucky...... We're leaving...... Remember to erase all traces!"
Later, a group of people returned to the car. It must be noted that some of them have already obtained a fake driver's license for ease of movement. Although it is estimated that this kind of fake document will be exposed after a little check by the traffic police, it is not a problem for warlocks at all. It must be said that learning to drive is actually not a very difficult thing now, and people with normal intelligence, if they practice every day, they can do it for three or five days.
As for the car, it's even simpler.
"I can't find any useful clues for the time being...... The Radiant Moon Warlock is cunning, but believes that this is not aimed at us, but rather a common, habitual means of guard. ”
This is universally recognized. After all, their actions were top-secret and unexpected. The defenselessness of the enemy is their greatest advantage. In fact, as long as the other side is on guard, then their actions are almost doomed to failure. Regardless of the rest, just leaving here and changing the world is a good way to solve the problem.
They got the coordinates of this world by chance (albeit in an unimaginable way), but could they also get the coordinates of the next world by chance? This kind of luck is absolutely hard to come by.
"We were too sudden this time...... You can't stay too long without preparation. In case it is detected...... We can't take that risk!" Zhang said. "But if they don't have any precautions, even if they don't put key equipment and props here, at least they will leave information related to secret experiments or something. However, it will take a lot of time to search their homes carefully...... We have to find a way to monitor them. ”
"I have a way," someone said. "It's not appropriate for us to do it ourselves, but we can entrust it to the indigenous. ”
"But indigenous people can't ......"
"It's a two-pronged approach, you can go together. Zhang Le shook his fist vigorously and made a decision.
……
The rescue effort on TV is coming to an end.
According to journalists, all the missing persons, whether living or corpse, have been recovered. This is the end of the rescue effort. Perhaps the reporter himself felt that being in such a relatively safe area was a bit excessive, so he took the cameraman and began to walk around the perimeter to introduce the audience in front of the TV to the treacherous terrain of the vicinity, and the weather changes, which can be described as "moody".
“…… On this side was the site of an ancient temple...... It is located exactly in the leeward quarter...... According to the rescuers, it was supposed to be a good campsite...... The team had planned to arrive here and camp overnight. But unfortunately, under such a heavy wind and snow, even if it is only a few hundred meters away, the victims cannot see the camp......"
The reporter in a thick snow suit spoke to the camera, presumably trying to prove how dangerous the place was, and that even the imminent camping ground could not be reached in such a bad climate that caused the accident. But when she introduced, the camera camera naturally pointed to the ruins of the ancient temple.
This is a ruin in the truest sense of the word - anyone can see that the collapse of this temple is not a matter of the past few decades, but hundreds of years old, if not longer. It may have once stood majestically and brilliantly in the wind and snow, but its glory has long since faded with time. Even this site has survived until now because of the use of stone as a building material. Even first-time visitors will understand that there is no such thing as a valuable artifact left in such a well-known place. For hundreds of years, I don't know how many explorers have passed through here, and there will be nothing left here except for the solid stone walls and foundations that can't be destroyed by wind and snow. In the footage, it is just a piece of ruins that have been searched countless times.
Looking at the LCD TV screen, Amber suddenly grabbed Lu Wu's arm. She pinched so hard that Lu Wu felt pain.
"Lu Wu, look at ......"
