Chapter 46: A Friend Comes from Far Away
Those were two members of the "Knights Templar".
The reason why "Axel" was able to see through the true identities of the two with just one glance was not because of how strong his reconnaissance skills were, but because the two of them were wearing a pure white robe with a huge red cross painted on the chest part of the armor, and the iconic outer robe.
You know, according to the timeline in this dungeon world, this year is 1628 AD, and it has been more than 320 years since Pope Clement V announced the official dissolution of the "Knights Templar".
Their behavior is not good, it is equivalent to walking on the street in Beijing in the first year of Kangxi, wearing the fish and dragon costumes of Jinyiwei in the Wanli period.
Let's leave it at haunt for now, but the danger is certainly quite dangerous.
said that among the two people, the one who walked in front was close to about 2 meters tall just by looking at it, and his figure was also extremely strong, which was obviously bigger than the "Shinra" strong man that "Axel" had seen before.
His whole body was covered in a full-body plate armor, as if he had been transformed into a steel fortress, which was intimidating.
However, instead of the Knights Templar's iconic tin can, he was replaced by a skull mask forged from stainless steel.
It is this mask that makes the overall positive image of the "Templar" in front of him reveal an indescribable and inexplicable smell of "evil".
But what is even more surprising is that people do not feel even the slightest sense of incongruity from him - as if the knight's justice and the "evil" taste itself are inseparable.
As for the one who is slightly half a step behind, he doesn't have that complex aura that makes people feel contradictory and confused.
Unlike the tall knight before him, he was also dressed in a white red cross coat, but he was lined with lighter chain mail.
He also did not have a sword at his waist, but two exaggeratedly large axes.
The handles of the two axes were also cast with two chains the thickness of an adult's thumb, and I don't know what they were used for, but when he walked, there was a clanging noise.
His figure is not as exaggerated as the one in front of him, to the point of being as majestic as a hill.
Although he is one size smaller than the one in front, judging from the proportion of his knotted muscles and inverted triangle upper body, this one is obviously also the type that can bend steel pipes with his bare hands, which is also not to be underestimated.
Most notably, however, he was not wearing a helmet or any other head armor - he was left to his long, lion-like, dark brown hair, bohemian in the autumn wind.
This undoubtedly conveyed this message to everyone who saw him:
Brother, it's a pure man! So, please go head-on!
These were Axel's first impressions of the two at the end of the path, however, the moment he saw each other, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
As a vigilant gambler, he naturally knows when to stud all and when to avoid danger.
So, he moved.
I saw him step towards the moment oak tree beside him, and in the next second, his whole person had disappeared.
This is undoubtedly an active skill he has activated, and the name of the skill is ......
"Skill Name: Shadow Escape - Deadly Stealth, Masonic Templar Assassin Deck Special Ability Exclusive Action Skill, Use Conditions: Level 1 and above 'Candidates' and 'Spokesperson' can be used, Skill Comprehensive Evaluation: F, Skill Power: Weak."
"Skill description: Freemasonry (Free and Accepted Mason) is undoubtedly the most mysterious and powerful secret society in American history, they control the corporation, they control Congress, they control war and peace, and they even openly print the logo of the organization (a giant eye on the pyramid) on the dollar."
"There are even rumors that the interests of Freemasonry represent the interests of the whole United States, and the policy of Freemasonry needs to be implemented and implemented by the whole United States, so the so-called United States of America is just a marionette thrown by Freemasonry on the surface, and in the history of the United States, except for the two assassinated, the rest of the presidents must and must be members of Freemasonry."
"In order to better control the whole United States, and indeed the world, Freemasonry naturally had its own independent armed organization a long time ago, but among these organizations, the 'Templar Assassins' are undoubtedly the best among them."
"They succeeded in assassinating Abraham Lincoln, and they also succeeded in assassinating John Fitzgerd Kennedy (and in just three years after Kennedy's assassination, 18 key witnesses died one after another, six of whom were shot, three died in car accidents, two committed suicide, one had his throat cut, one had his neck broken, and five died 'naturally'). ”
"Therefore, in order to carry out the assassination mission assigned by the Freemasons more safely and efficiently, in 1843, the L13 level boss of the 'Freemasons' successfully created a stealth skill for detection and assassination, which was later named 'Shadow Escape - Deadly Stealth', and became one of the iconic basic skills of the 'Templar Assassins', and was most widely used in the 'Templar Assassins'."
"On April 17, 1844, the L13-level boss who created this skill, ■■■ (data destroyed), was found tragically dead at home, and the murderer's whereabouts are still unknown, and his death undoubtedly added a mysterious footnote to the skill of 'Shadow Escape - Deadly Stealth'."
"Note: When the caster initiates 'Shadow Escape - Deadly Stealth', the caster must be close to an object with a volume of no less than 0.5 cubic meters above the ground within 2 seconds, and when the caster meets the above conditions, they will immediately successfully enter the 'hidden' state."
"When the caster is in a 'hidden' state, it will completely shield the surrounding creatures from the physical level of perception, such as sight, hearing, and smell."
"Notes: Each time this skill is used, 30% of the psionic value will be consumed, and an additional 1% of the psionic energy will be consumed every minute until the caster deactivates the 'hidden' state, or the psionic energy is depleted, and the CD time is 10 minutes."
It is true that "Shadow Escape - Deadly Stealth" is an initial initiative skill with a skill rating of only F and no attack power, but for a novice "candidate", this skill is undoubtedly a life-saving skill when he is in danger.
In other words, as long as the monster or NPC in the dungeon does not put any mass destruction skills when he is "sneaking", then he who has completely blocked the perception of the other party at the physical level is almost invincible.
However, even though he knew that the other party was completely unable to perceive him physically, "Axel" still pressed his body against the trunk of the tree, motionless and waited for the two evil stars to leave in front of him.
However, at the moment when the man who was like an iron tower, and his position and figure were intertwined, the right hand of the man, who was holding the sword, suddenly moved......
