Chapter Twenty-One: Stealth Really Doesn't Make You Unique
On the other side, Hill weaves through the battlefield like a shadow.
This particular stealth ability is known as shadow walking.
The Shadow Realm, which is different from the main material world, is attached to the main material world like a shadow, and its origin and specific composition are still unknown, and is often considered to be the realm of the Dusk Lady, the Mother of Shadows, the thief and the cunning god Noktunar.
There are many theories about the Shadow Realm, some say that it is the other side of the main material world, a gathering place for dark creatures, and some say that it is just a small world opened up by the divine power of Noktunar during the War of the Gods of the Second Age, and the reason for this is that no one can explore the Shadow Realm.
At least not yet.
First, no one knows how big the shadow realm is, and once you go deep into it, you will be corrupted by an unknown force in the place, and this corrosion will transform you into a shadow creature from the inside out, until the main material world will no longer accept you.
Second, the inhabitants and their unfriendliness, just like the main material world, this world also has its own unique aborigines, whom the dark mages call shadow creatures, and this creature has a kind of crazy aggression towards the visitors of the main material world.
In the year 435 of the Third Age Magic Calendar, mages who had always been curious about the Shadow Realm finally made an amazing breakthrough in research, and a mage named Eisender discovered that humans could borrow the power of the Shadow Realm through sacrifice, and the floating magic of the Shadow Realm composed of dark magic, and Eisender became the first Dark Mage in history.
In the year 739 of the Third Age Magic Calendar, humanity once again discovered that a small number of people seemed to be born with the shadow realm, and these people could briefly sneak into the shadow realm and walk in the shadows.
These people are collectively known as the Shadow Lurkers, and each of them is a natural thief and killer.
Hill is one of them.
Hill had never met her biological parents, and had lived with her adoptive father for as long as she could remember.
And his adoptive father was a thief.
As a child, Ciel showed her unparalleled talent to freely dive into the Shadow Realm, and what was even more surprising was that the erosion of the Shadow Realm had little effect on Ciel's body, and her thief adoptive father sternly warned her not to be discovered by anyone.
When Ciel was old enough to learn his own skills, her adoptive father left a note early one morning and disappeared.
But fortunately, Hill learned the skills of stealth and stealing, and he barely survived alone.
Hill seems to have been born with this material, and with her knowledge of the countless side roads in the city, she quickly went from a rookie to a veteran thief.
......
Thanks to the ability to walk in the shadows, Hill managed to reach the island in the middle of the lake after several thrills.
The people in the field who had the ability to spot Hill were all fighting together, and no one noticed that the little girl had successfully smuggled in.
The island in the middle of the lake is not large, and Hill, who has lifted the shadows and walked, quickly moves around the island, looking for the rumored dragon's heart grass.
It didn't take much effort, and Hill eventually spotted it in a puddle.
It was just a small inconspicuous grass, almost connected to the weeds around it, and it didn't live up to its mighty name at all, and if it weren't for the faint magical aura that emanated from it, Ciel would almost have thought he was mistaken.
Hill was a rare little excited.
He was about to reach out to pluck this precious magic plant, but his hand couldn't help but freeze at the moment when he was about to stretch it out.
Someone's coming!
......
On the frozen surface of the lake, Ivan saw the monster in the huge lake turn over the river and the sea, but no one could restrain it. I couldn't help but secretly worry about Hill, the battle to defeat the Lake Lord had already started for a while, according to his plan, Hill had already successfully arrived on the island at this time, Hill, who knew the approximate location of the dragon's heartgrass, should not have taken so long, but there has been no signal for so long...
There can't really be any accidents, right?
"Calm down." Wood saw Ivan's anxiety, and could only reassure: "In this situation, no one can break through the defense line of the Warcraft for the time being, and it is useless for you to be in a hurry."
The ninth-level demonic beast that launched the frenzy was almost unstoppable, and even if the Tiger King used his own trick, it still didn't cause much damage to the other party.
The Wolf King came to Trodel's side, glanced at the Tiger King, who was covered in blood, and said slowly, "It's time to retreat, I'm afraid we will be wiped out if we continue like this." ”
"Damn it!" The Tiger King angrily smashed his fist into the frozen lake, "It's been so long, and there is no news at all." “
Trodel thought that he would lead everyone to meet the Lake Lord, as long as he dragged the other party, his thieves could sneak up quietly, and get the dragon's heart grass unconsciously, no one would have thought that there was a low-level shadow stalker in his mercenary team.
Island in the middle of the lake.
The young mercenary looked at the girl next to him with some curiosity, how did this somewhat immature girl get to this island, even if he was able to sneak onto the island by attracting the attention of the monster through the mercenary group.
He circled around the girl, carefully examining each other's places, and found that there was nothing special about them except that they were beautiful.
Ciel's heart felt like a storm, because she didn't expect that the person who came was also a shadow stalker!
It's also the first time Hill has seen a shadow stalker other than himself, but what confuses Hill is that this guy has been circling around him, even doing some weird things.
What's going on?
The young mercenary would never have imagined that the girl in front of him had the same identity as him, and with the ability to walk in the shadows, he could even dance around the enemy with impunity.
However, because shadow walking is a brief act of placing oneself in the Shadow Realm, even Shadow Stalkers are subject to Shadow Realm matter. And being in the shadow realm is not able to attack the people in the material realm, and if you want to attack the enemy, you must break away from the shadow realm.
Hill was a little impatient, seeing the young mercenary approaching him again, and in an instant Hill also escaped into the shadow realm.
"Shadowwalk!" Hill suddenly appeared behind the young mercenary, and the young mercenary was still looking blankly at this time, not understanding why the little girl in front of him suddenly disappeared, but then the weight from the back of his head made him unable to think about these things for the time being.
"Idiot." Hill can only say these two words to this sassy guy.
