Chapter 175: Tacit Understanding
"Then it looks like you're thinking otherwise." Wang Ningwei suddenly showed a quiet smile.
When Eswig heard this, he also looked at Wang Ningwei in surprise.
At this time, the two women glanced at each other, and in an instant they both understood their respective intentions.
When smart people get along with ordinary people, they can work well together.
But when two extremely smart people are together, the slightest deviation in their minds and guesses about their respective positions will lead to very different results, so sometimes the efficiency is not high.
Wang Ningwei said: "Shadow, then let me say it first?" ”
Wang Ningwei, who has never liked suspicion, took the lead in being open and honest: "I also released the 'greasy spell' in the first moment just now, but my spell range is a little behind, so when I saw those goblins fall, I knew that someone had cast additional spells." ”
"According to the list of spell masters, among the eight people who have learned the greasy technique, except for the first one who fell to the ground in the first wave of attacks, the other seven people include you, and I combined my observation and 'spell recognition' skills at that time to determine that none of them cast this spell."
After hearing Wang Ningwei's words, Eswig also smiled faintly: "The moment I saw your spell cast and raised my hand, I knew that you were going to cast the 'greasy spell', so naturally I would not release this spell again." At that time, I chose to observe 18 other people besides you. ”
When she saw Wang Ningwei release the "greasy technique", she knew on the spot that the outcome of this battle was decided.
Those goblins can only rely on raids to seize the opportunity, once they are relieved, 20 goblins are not very different from 2 goblins.
Eswig continued, "I sifted through it and determined that if there was a mentor, he wouldn't have infiltrated it, and the more obscure players were my focus. ”
"After the back row eliminated the suspicion of everyone in the team, I naturally began to pay attention to the open space behind me, so the dead leaf that was intact when we passed by was suddenly trampled, and I knew that there was an invisible person approaching."
Wang Ningwei already understood the other party's mind somewhat from Eswig's answer at this time, "If you infer that the other party is midsummer from the situation that you can only use the 'invisibility technique', then it is too risky to directly cover him with a greasy technique, what if he is really exposed?" ”
The two girls are not stupid, if it is really midsummer, and the other party can't even reveal the QQ group to them, this time he is responsible for keeping an eye on them.
This shows that there is definitely something unspeakable about Midsummer.
"Don't be nervous, little Weiwei." Eswig joked, "I can't say what kind of stealth thief it is, so I'll rule it out." If that person was midsummer, he would definitely have managed to get out of danger in that situation. ”
When Eswig said this, he was even more confident than Zhao Xu.
"And after this test, no one in the team will suspect that Floating City has sent personnel to follow us. Knowing the existence of the other party in this way is limited to the two of us, isn't it also helping him? ”
Wang Ningwei looked at Eswig with a hint of playfulness, "Shadow, I think you seem to be more confident than him." ”
"Hehe, if he can't solve that situation, then he deserves to be caught by us, and he is completely a pig teammate." Eswig said lightly, not worried at all if Zhao Xu had no way to leave silently.
"In that direction, in the state of invisibility, he casts the second-level spell 'Swift Flight', which can be released with just a simple spell."
"I deliberately recited the spell of 'Greasy Technique' aloud, and the wind whistle in that position was not small, so he was completely able to successfully cast the spell and fly away without everyone noticing, and naturally there would be no grease left on the ground, so I also successfully erased the suspicion that aroused everyone's suspicion in the station."
Eswig said eloquently to Wang Ningwei.
Level 2 Arcane "Swift Flight" is a weakened version of Level 3 Arcane Flight, which is mainly strong in that it can cast spells in an instant and take off, without the need to recite a spell for a few seconds and make a casting pose like flying.
At the same time, the spell ring itself is one level lower, and the only problem is that it can only last 1 round of time flight.
This is also Eswig's determination that if that person is Zhao Xu, he will definitely be able to escape silently.
Among all the low-level mages around Mystra, Zhao Xu can freely cast all kinds of unpopular spells.
Like the spells present today, it's not that everyone doesn't want to release the "greasy spell", on the one hand, it's a question of whether they have learned it, and on the other hand, it's a question of whether they have prepared for the limited two or three spell slots.
Even if you have a scroll to prepare, you have to take the time to pull out the corresponding scroll from your backpack or scroll case, and then spread it out to cast a spell.
This process is also time-consuming.
"I suspect he didn't unleash the Swift Flight, though." Nevertheless, Eswig expressed his vague judgment.
"It's true that in an emergency, everyone doesn't think about the best or least expensive means, but starts with path dependence." Wang Ningwei analyzed, "Maybe he got some new magic weapon." ”
"What about you? Actually, you didn't need to make another 'magic alarm' just now. Eswig looked at Wang Ningwei and said, "My greasy technique is somewhat to distinguish possible enemies and dispel everyone's suspicions. ”
"Me?"
At this moment, Wang Ningwei's face also showed a brilliant color, "I have already told Zhongxia through that spell, and Zhongxia has also told me his answer." ”
"Our mutual temptations end here."
---------------
Zhao Xu looked at the silver thread that shone in the sun.
The original frustration of being found had just risen, and it was immediately dissipated.
If he wasn't ready to be discovered in the first place, his plan would have been too rudimentary.
Zhao Xu, who only has a two-ring spell, is actually very limited in the face of these players who have one-ring spells.
So Zhao Xu was ready to be debunked by those two smart girls from the beginning.
Antinoa gave him the idea of "unrevealing the robbers", which determined whether a magical item belonged to him or not.
And as long as he didn't show his face in front of those new magemen, he didn't reveal his identity.
Even Wang Ningwei's "magic alert" can only be said to guess that someone followed them after they left.
Unless Wang Ningwei and others will call out his name in person.
Otherwise, there is a long way to go before Zhao Xu exposes his identity.
Zhao Xu knew from the beginning that he couldn't take the initiative to reveal his identity, so he didn't tell the other party about it in the QQ group.
There are some things that are deliberately cheating, playing some loopholes that others know about, and it is completely meaningless.
In particular, he guessed that if he really leaked it to the two girls on QQ, everyone's performance would definitely be seen through next.
Even if he leaked this matter, at the moment it happened, he might not be able to hide it from Antinoya.
Zhao Xu looked at the silver thread at this time, knowing that this was a message that Wang Ningwei specially left for him.
can't tell him openly that she, Wang Ningwei, guessed Zhao Xu's existence, but she has to make sure that the two of them reach that tacit understanding.
This silver thread shimmering in the sunlight is so obvious that even the materials required for the "Magic Alert" spell are true.
Wang Ningwei could completely use the withered grass around her to cover the silver thread.
Therefore, Zhao Xu deliberately used the "Detect Trap" spell to rule out the possibility that "the silver line is used to cover up other traps", which means that the silver line is something that Wang Ningwei deliberately left to tell him.
It also means that she has left an opening from the fact that Zhao Xu is not highly hidden, and responded to Zhao Xu's temptation.
Zhao Xu also smiled bitterly, although he relied on the swiftness of the secondary to explode, he was confident enough to leave the scene before the other party took action against him.
But he just wanted to give the other party a little hint, so that the other party could cooperate with these floating city mages who were a bit of a dead act when the time came.
It's just that Zhao Xu didn't expect that Wang Ningwei actually took one step directly, tested him in reverse, and even tried to tell him how to continue to maintain a tacit understanding.
At this time, Zhao Xu bent down and looked down at the slender and shining silver thread.
He gently wiped it with his hand, and sure enough, the silver thread was knotted.
Zhao Xu immediately understood that at this time, Wang Ningwei was telling him how to verify that he was Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu hurriedly estimated the time.
The range of the magic alarm is about 6 meters, and if only the "sound alarm" is selected, it will burst into a shrill sound that can be heard by anyone within a radius of 20 meters.
If "Psychic Alert" is selected, the caster will be able to receive the alert as long as they do not leave the 1.5 km range.
So he dragged on for a long time, and if Wang Ningwei walked out of the 1.5 km range, the other party would not receive the prompt.
Next, Zhao Xu followed the prompts on the silver line, took the bell as the center point, walked to a range of six meters away, and began to enter and exit on the edge cordon.
The magic alarm continued to activate, and the spiritual signal also rippled in the air, drifting away in the direction of Wang Ningwei.
