Chapter 40: Initiative
The battle was soon over, with the Assassins leaving behind about eight or nine corpses, and the few remaining escaped in the chaos. Of course, these are all easier to say, but the problem now is this big ice cube in front of Linton.
Yes, there was a huge block of ice right in front of Linton, and through the ice, Linton could see that there was a person inside. The guy inside is naturally the leader of the assassins, and it is not known who the other party is. Before, he broke free from the control of the illusion a little and released a skill, and after Linton carefully dodged it, he found that the surrounding area was rapidly frozen, and then he quickly froze himself into an ice cube, which is what Linton sees now.
The other party sealed himself inside the ice cube, and Linton checked it a little, and he didn't know if this was the other party's forced suicide, or just a means to save his life. The figure inside was motionless, and it was not known whether it was dead or alive.
These people are indeed dead soldiers, and Linton also wanted to catch a live mouth and ask for clarification after helping, but the person who was caught quickly committed suicide, and he didn't know what means he used, so he suddenly had convulsions like epilepsy, and then hung up. According to Princess Arran, someone must have used magic to control their lives, but she didn't know much about it.
The only thing that is possible to ask now is the one in the ice cube, if he is not dead. Linton wanted to dig out the other party at the first time, but the ice cube was very strong, and Rena tried it with her fighting spirit, but she couldn't break it. Linton tried it with fire, but he couldn't melt the ice, because it felt like the ice was still repairing itself. So there's only one skill that can be used.,Amaterasu.。
However, Amaterasu's skill is estimated to be able to melt ice, but once a fire burns over, the people inside are also burned out, so what's the difference between that and not burning? According to Princess Yalan next to her, this ice cube is still maintaining its magic power, which is why it is so strong and can be repaired automatically. The person who provided the mana should be the Assassin captain inside, and if he had to wait, the ice would melt on its own when his mana was exhausted.
So everyone discussed, anyway, they still have to stay here for a while, wait for Barry's side to recover, or just watch this assassin captain, and wait for him to run out of magic? According to Princess Yalan's calculations, even if it is a star mage, it is not easy to maintain such magic, it is estimated that it will be two or three days at most, and after this captain comes out, he is also in a state of depleted mana, so it should not pose any threat to them.
They should be safe for the next few days, although some of the assassin team ran away and went back to report the news, but even if the other party had to send the next team of assassins, they would not be able to come here for a short time. Barry is recovering fairly well at the moment, and it is estimated that this time will allow him to recover.
So everyone disposed of the corpses a little and examined the contents of these corpses. Of course, they still haven't been able to find any useful information, these guys are obviously professionals, and they won't leave any information behind.
Linton also pretended to ask Princess Yalan again if she had any doubts, Princess Yalan said that she didn't know, she obviously had some guesses, after all, her relationship with several brothers and sisters was not so good, it was just a royal matter, and she didn't want to say it casually.
Of course, Garsein, who knew Linton's purpose, couldn't help but roll his eyes beside him, of course he knew who these people were assassinating, but he didn't speak, he didn't say anything, but he was also very eager to know who the person who assassinated his father was. Obviously, if the third princess is dragged into the water, the investigation will be carried out more smoothly, and the king will inquire about this matter and help investigate the culprit, which must be much smoother than their own investigation.
Rena felt a little suspicious here, but she didn't say anything directly, everyone seemed to have some small calculations of their own, and it always felt that suddenly the distance between everyone was slightly widened.
After a brief dinner, Rena and Princess Arran went to the vigil, while Linton returned to the tent to rest. Barry, who was beside him, seemed to be recovering well, and although he hadn't woken up yet, he was already snoring. The sound of snoring slightly affected Linton's rest, and he really couldn't sleep, but he couldn't beat him, after all, he was a wounded.
Linton thought about it for a while, and began to study his system, anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal these days, he has nothing to do, he happens to be familiar with the system, and many functions he hasn't studied thoroughly yet.
It's like probing this piece, and Linton still doesn't understand it. When I crossed for the first time, I heard a prompt of 30 cycles of no operation, and the second time, I was cut to negative points. Then there should be three ways to cross in this way, the first negative points, that should be similar to an emergency task, the kind of crossing that will give you to earn points immediately. Secondly, the second one is 30 cycles of no operation, which is automatically triggered.
As for the third, it should be an operation within 30 cycles, and it is an active probing operation. That's what Linton is looking for now, of course he also wants to know how he can actively operate the crossing, but the problem is that he can't find a similar button, and there is no option to actively cross anywhere.
After confirming that all the buttons were wrong, Linton had to think of something else, of course, the easiest way was to try to ask Battle Ji.
"What, Battle Ji, can I take the initiative to carry out the exploration mission?"
"System prompt: Do you want to enable probing?"
"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't the voice of the battle Ji who answered him, the voice of the battle Ji was a mechanical sound, and he couldn't hear men and women, but this system Ji was a very standard female voice, just like the sound of those announcing the bus stop, and the difference between the two was still very big.
Linton didn't expect that the person who answered him was actually System Ji, but this System Ji has not responded to Linton until now, and has always been talking to himself like a broadcast notice, but this time he actually responded to Linton's words.
"You TN can communicate too, right?" Linton asked.
"System prompt: Do you want to enable probing?"
I don't know what's going on, and the system Ji directly began to repeat. Linton probably guessed that this thing might be a relatively simple AI? Can only react to specific words?
"Yes." Linton thought for a moment and said.
"Probe on." The voice continued, "Please choose the world you want to explore." ”
A page appeared directly in front of Linton, with several options that he had never seen before. The first is two things that are kind of like folders, and Linton looks at them, and one shows World A, and there is a hint on it, which is 1.4% of the probe progress. The other is World B, with a 24.6% exploration progress.
Seeing this, of course Linton understood, the first one was the world where he met Spider-Man, which should be called the Marvel world, and the other was obviously the Hokage world. If you look at it like this, you can still choose to continue exploring in the world that has been explored, after all, the exploration is not yet complete, this Linton has thought of it a long time ago, but I don't know how to trigger it, and now I know it.
"Got it, quit." Linton nodded.
"System prompt: If you abandon the selection, a random probe will be conducted."
"Huh?" Linton was slightly stunned, "Wait, I'm not going to scout randomly, I don't want to probe yet, cancel, leave, ESC." ”
"System prompt: If you abandon the selection, a random probe will be conducted."
"Damn, what's the situation?" Linton was stunned, what's going on, and started repeating it here again? Could it be ...... I can't go back to this page when I'm stuck?
"Am I going to start exploring?"
"System prompt: If you give up ......"
"Hey, you're messing with me, I suddenly disappeared inexplicably, how can I explain it later?" Linton probably understands what's going on, but the problem is that it will disappear when he investigates, although the speed of time is not the same as here, but it will definitely be discovered, how will he explain it after he comes back. And he really disappeared inexplicably, does this make sense?
"System prompt ......"
The system here completely ignored Linton's request for an explanation, and continued to repeat itself.
"No, sister, can you stop messing with me?"
"System prompt: You still have 3 minutes to choose, if you give up the selection, random scouting will automatically begin."
"?" Linton was stunned, this is really him. In 3 minutes, Linton looked outside, and he could say hello to Yalan and them, but after thinking about it, Linton felt that it was better to forget it, and suddenly disappear, as for what the hell is, come back and make it up, this excuse is better than disappearing in front of them.
There is no way to quit, and you can only force it to come. Linton looked at the two worlds and ...... randomly He didn't dare quite yet. This was forced twice before, he didn't want to run to an inexplicable world, in case the monster over there was extremely fierce, and he was instantly seconds, how could this be scored. So the rest of the world waits for itself to be stronger before choosing.
And the two I know, Marvel...... Linton recalled a little, he was really a little panicked, although the base of points is low, he should be able to earn a lot of points, but it is too dangerous. In contrast, the more familiar Hokage seems to be a good choice.
Without thinking too much, Linton directly clicked on the Hokage World, and in the next second, a white light flashed, and Linton suddenly felt darkness around him, and when he recovered, he actually appeared in a room.
A simple look.,This house is obviously a wooden house.,Decoration,There's some Japanese style.,After all, I'm from the world of the Hokage.,It's understandable.,I just don't know how I came here.。
"Who? Who's in the room? Suddenly, a voice came from outside the house, and Linton listened to it for a moment, and thought it was like a child's voice.
