Duan Qing's plan is actually very simple, that is, to disguise himself and the people on his side into the bodyguard team of Volavos, after this experiment of disguising his fellow nobles, he feels that the idea of mixing the team members into the entourage should also be feasible - because the NPCs in the free world cannot directly identify the player's identity, the player's identity disguised as the NPC camp has also become one of the means to deal with NPCs for a period of time, as long as it is accompanied by enough acting skills and " The other side does not have the same players present", and the disguise plan can often be implemented smoothly. The main reason why this method of deception did not become popular later was that more and more players began to be eligible to join the factions of various forces, on the one hand, they can easily distinguish the identity between players and the natives of the virtual world through their IDs, and on the other hand, because they no longer need this deliberate disguise after joining the camp. In the unlikely event that some players will encounter a request similar to Vlavos's request during the adventure, but such a commission is often quickly recognized by other players, and the employer is inexplicable and unexplained in the outcome.

But Duan Qing still had such confidence, just because the ultimate camouflage method he possessed was slightly different from other players.

"This is a stand-in potion I just developed."

In the early morning of February 18, 796 in the new calendar of the free world, the team belonging to Duan Qing once again gathered on the streets of a certain street in the castle of Thebilisi, but this time they followed behind Volavos for the mission of covert protection, and finally changed a little: "It is said to be a stand-in potion, but it is actually an improved version of the illusion potion with projection magic, after drinking it, your body illusion will be projected to a place a distance away by the magic attached to the potion." ”

"The illusion will act according to the way it moves, you can imagine yourself as a copy of yourself more than ten meters away." He shook the potion bottle in front of everyone's eyes, "The only advantage is the ID - the player's name will not be displayed on the projection illusion. ”

"If the player discovers the mystery, I'm afraid it will be the first to see through it." Playing with the same bottle of potion in his hand, Gedmayne said in a low voice: "What's more, our appearance has been publicized in the realm of the castle for a while, and the possibility of being directly recognized will be very high......"

"It's okay, it shouldn't last long." Duan Qing put away the bottle of potion in his hand: "And our purpose is not to make it impossible for all players to see through, as long as we can confuse those potential attackers for a moment." ”

"Have we identified the attacker as a player?" On the other side, Asahi Dongsheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it the throwing knife hand from before?" ”

"Most likely the Wings of Freedom." Leaning against the wall in the corner with her arms crossed, the white-haired woman named Xue Lingphantly Bing said in a low voice: "Except for me, they should all be strangers to all of you, so as long as you use a stand-in potion to blend in and can stand up at the critical moment......

"It's still a very clumsy approach." Rubbing his chin, Gedmayne looked up at Duan Qing's face: "There is no other way?" ”

"Even if it were this method, we wouldn't be able to hold out for a long time." Duan Qing also shook his head and replied, "But it doesn't matter, according to our previous series of investigations......"

"They shouldn't be waiting too long."

In the background of the people coming and going through the street, the figures belonging to this group of players gradually disappeared into the past figures that continued to pass like a tide, and the traveling procession led by the fat nobleman of the empire then appeared on the other side of the corner of this street, with the same tall horses and the noise of the sky gradually advancing towards the south of the castle of Thebilisi. Still maintaining that arrogant and domineering appearance, Volavos, who was walking in the middle of the group, commanded the black-clad bodyguards around him to disperse the surrounding crowd endlessly, and then when he was about to pass the next intersection, he turned his gaze to a subordinate who had just approached: "We're about to reach Kenarik Street, my lord, shall we continue to move on?" ”

"Go ahead and visit Sir Reddick." Raising his hand like a hero, the fat nobleman pointed towards the south of this intersection in a pointing manner: "What are you worried about? Just follow the schedule. ”

"But......" the black-clad bodyguard hesitated, "I heard that the situation has been a little unsafe recently, and the Imperial Army just warned us yesterday......"

"Do you take the words of the goof-headed geese, or do you listen to my orders?" Volavos waved his hand indifferently: "Besides, even if someone really wants to threaten our safety......"

"The nobles of the empire will never bow to such a threat."

Righteous words said this, and Vlavos, who was white and fat, revealing determination, quietly glanced at the figures who followed the back of the line behind him, and then continued to walk slowly towards the far end of the city in the side eyes of the people around him who were still passing over. The figures that had been repeatedly confirmed by him then followed closely as he expected, but the movement of moving forward was a little stiff, and Duan Qing and the others, who were the main bodies of these "figures", were also walking at the same speed in an alley not far from Kennaris Street: "I feel that this way is still a bit stupid, we are too close to them now, and we will be discovered if we are not careful." ”

"It's good enough to be able to concoct a potion of this effect in a short period of time, what more could you want? When this experiment is successful, I will go back and continue to improve the medicinal properties. ”

"By the way, what is the duration of this stand-in potion?"

"I don't know."

"What? I don't know? What if it suddenly disappears after a while? ”

"It's just right to disappear, help me remember how long it lasted."

“…… In other words, we were actually the first experimenters? ”

"Don't worry, when the official version of the potion comes out in the future, I will share your share of the money from the sale, provided that you are still a member of this team in the future, and at the same time, you will continue to be my free test object...... Not. ”

The deliberately suppressed discussion between each other suddenly stopped with the movement of Duan Qing's raised hand, accompanied by a few people who maintained a walking posture and leaned out of the figure of the next intersection, and several people who had crossed the same rampant road between the streets and alleys also took advantage of this rare opportunity to look at the situation of the large-scale parade not far from them: "The others are still avoiding them from a distance-this fat man is really not welcome." ”

"If it were me, I wouldn't have given this arrogant fat man a straight ...... Well, there was a heavily armed contingent appearing, was it the city guards? ”

"Stop, look ahead, don't move."

"It's going to take so long to say hello...... Forget it, just observe the surroundings by the way. ”

Standing side by side at the mouth of the alley not far from the stopped team, Duan Qing, who spoke in a low voice, then looked around the fat nobleman who was greeting the city guard: "This posture ......"

The posture is very standard, and the movements are very capable, so it should be a real city guard.

There were two other teams of players passing by, but they didn't seem to want to approach this side.

There are also two small stalls set up by the peddlers in front of them, which may be the target of a disguised ambush, but ...... They looked too cowardly, and they were already running away before the team could come.

Is there anything more suspicious? Strange, did they give up today?

Recalling the results of the investigation in the past few days and the conclusions that the team had discussed all night last night, Duan Qing's brows furrowed slightly, and a subtle sound of breaking the air then sounded in his ears, quickly combining with a certain familiar voice in his memory: "It's coming!" ”

Laugh at!

The piercing grinding sound was like a sharp blade out of its sheath, flying straight down from above the team that had just passed by the city guards, and the arrows with murderous intent and the waves of qi did not fly towards the fat nobles riding on tall horses in the group, but went straight through the eyebrows of a gray-robed magician-looking figure at the end of the group. The pattern of the wave then flew into a visible air vibration with the fall of the arrow, and then flew towards the surrounding area of the street like a wave of stones falling into the water, but the figure in the center of the circle was not turned into a sky of flesh and blood like the rubble of the surrounding masonry, but slowly scattered downward like dissipated sand: "-Enemy attack! ”

"Be careful, sir!"

"Don't panic! The enemy is ahead! Cheer me up! For the glory of the Empire! ”

"Archer!"

The panicked shouts quickly spread out along the edge of the street with the sound of scattered footsteps, but the voice belonging to Duan Qing immediately sounded in the alley in one of the directions: "It's the group of people who attacked us at that time!" His goal is me! ”

"Right front! Someone rushed over! ”

"The City Guard will not sit idly by! Don't worry! ”

In the scene where the rest of the phantom projections began to dissipate at the same time, Duan Qing, who commanded everyone to rush out of the alley, shouted towards the mountain market buildings in front of them, "They chose the wrong time!" Just grab their tails...... Spirit Ice! ”

"Leave it to me."

The sound of breaking the air that sounded one after another was mixed with the response belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, but there was no corresponding figure of the white-haired woman, Duan Qing, who put down the magic stone in his hand, then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the group of attackers who had already begun to come into contact with the fat nobles' team: "It really happened...... This time you're a kind. ”

"Let's go!"

***********************************

"What a bunch of bastards."

Walking briskly between the alleys of the castle of Thebilisi, the figure belonging to the Thousand Fingered Crane then disappeared at the end of the alley where the Warren Tavern was located, and the red hair under the cloak then showed an angry look, and even the sweet face that originally belonged to the maiden became much colder: "Do you only expect me to come to the rescue?" One by one, there is no growth at all! ”

"If this continues, everything will be the same again."

She pursed her lips, and the rising flames fell on her, "If you can't get stronger......

"If I can't keep getting stronger......"

She clenched her fists, and the teeth that clenched her lower lip disappeared into her increasingly firm expression, and then her chaotic thoughts slowly froze in place like clouds gradually tightening up in the sky, along with the girl's equally stopped footsteps. The streamer of the magic flame immediately circulated in her hand, forming a small flame orb in the hand of the Thousand Fingered Crane, and she just stood in place and watched quietly when her eyes shifted to this orb, and only after a while did she dissipate the majestic energy that was originally condensed on it: "I hope this time it will be successful...... No. ”

"This time it will be—"

Rumble!

The blazing light then came from the far end of the street in front of her, and it was the scene brought out by the chaotic explosion mixed with magic and sword qi gradually diffuse, and the girl who held down her white magic robe vigorously then raised her head, looking at the conspicuous black smoke that gradually rose from the distant street: "...... Someone attacked the castle? ”

"Who is so bold?"

After a moment's hesitation, the girl began to run and then slowly approached in the direction where the explosion had occurred, and due to the proximity of one of the explosions, it did not take long for her to reach the edge of one of the scenes of the commotion. The crowd around her was still scattering and fleeing, and after stepping through the layers of obstacles, she then waved a wall of flames, and then blocked the two figures that rushed towards her, along with the sword qi-shaped attacks behind him, instantly out of her body: "...... Don't don't, don't! My own people! ”

"Who are you?" Looking at the scene of Duan Qing, who was holding his head in his hands, suddenly breaking through the wall of flames he had waved and rolling to the ground, the girl who turned her head frowned slightly: "I don't know you." ”

"Hey, don't forget the last encounter so quickly."

Still still slapping the unextinguished magic flame on his body, Duan Qing, who was embarrassed, got up from the ground with a grim face: "Meeting is fate, since we met again so soon, do you have to take care of this fate a little...... Drink! ”

His arm vibrated vigorously in the air, blocking a cold arrow that shot diagonally from the sky again outside the earthen wall that suddenly condensed above his head, and then in the crackling sound of the debris scattered in all directions, he gestured to the thousand fingered crane with a look of surprise on his face: "Look, so many people are bullying me as a novice. ”

"Don't you have a little compassion?"
